Presentation document(s) included an agenda memorandum and presentation slides. 
Presenter(s): Lance Lyttle, Aviation Managing Director, and Borgan Anderson, Director, Aviation
Finance and Budget. 
Commissioners received a presentation describing the budget-development process in the Aviation
Division and Aviation key priorities for 2019. The division's goal of creating a world-class airport,
which includes attention to aesthetics and efficient throughput of passengers, was emphasized.
Industry context, operational challenges, and projected passenger growth based on regional
demand were addressed. 
Commissioners commented on factoring-in unexpected growth in budget planning and asked about
growth trends prior to 2012. They noted budget resiliency as a hedge against economic downturn.
Commissioners asked about the status of the airport signage master plan. They asked for
clarification on proposed employee engagement initiatives. Commissioners asked about the status
of the Ground Transportation Access Plan 
Commissioners asked whether parking objectives were in conflict with port environmental goals.
They questioned plans to encourage non-passenger retail at the airport. They commented on
changing trends in the parking market and on possibilities related to an airport hotel. Proposing
alternatives  for  broad  application  of  ground  transportation  access  fees  was  mentioned.
Commissioners noted the opportunity to use vehicle access fees to apply equitable treatment for all
vehicles using port facilities, which creates environmental and congestion impacts. 
Aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenue forecasts were presented. Cost per enplanement is
expected to grow from $11.63 to approximately $13.90 as a result of new airport infrastructure
going into use and adding to calculation of the rate base. Expected revenue growth in 2019 was
characterized as modest. In response to commissioner inquiries, it was reported that actual
revenues for 2018 are trending very close to forecast. The Aviation 2019 budget request will likely

Mr. Drollinger defined business intelligence as the organizational capacity to get insight from data. 
He described the difference between having business-process data and understanding its
relevance  to  the  organization.  The  work  of  the  business  intelligence  department  bridges
information technology and port lines of business to analyze existing data and obtain new data as
needed to serve the port's goals and objectives. 
Goals of the department include promoting broad availability of data, reducing wasted effort in all
data-related activities, improving organizational knowledge, enabling focus and clarity to support
strategic planning, and stimulating a culture of learning, sharing, and valuing information. He
presented examples of successful business intelligence efforts providing comprehensible data
related to customer experience at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. 
Commissioners commented on the benefits of public accessibility to port data. They remarked on
the components of a useful dashboard system for interpreting data, including compatibility with
mobile applications. Commissioners noted the importance of verifying that  the port is collecting
relevant data and communicating it well. The value of measuring leading indicators versus lagging
indicators was discussed.

Regarding commission  international  travel (see  agenda  item  6d),  Commissioner  Gregoire
recommended that the overall cost for such travel be reduced in 2019 and opined that the
transparency intended by Resolution No. 3604 should include visibility into the cost of travel, not
just locations intended for international trips.
