Port of Seattle Commissioners
June 26, 2018

Hello, Again! Seems this is getting to be a regular event. We met a few months back when I spoke to
you concerning the Port of Seattle condition of sale that required the Salmon Bay Marina evict all
liveaboards with a mere 30 -day notification.  You graciously reviewed the matter and quickly advised
that liveaboard moorage would continue, and Port of Seattle leases would be offered "with conditions".
As always  the Devil is in the Detail  and the worst fears of the primary stake holders have now been
realized.

You are aware from my previous testimony that availability of liveaboard moorage in the Greater Seattle
area is non- existent. Marina owners will take your name and number and put you on a two-year
waiting list, but it is pleasantry only.

Just last week the liveaboard owners of Salmon Bay Marina were presented the new Port of Seattle
lease agreement which shockingly bears a required date for signature ofJuly 1, 2018. The primary
offending condition glaringly appears in bold type "NON-TRANSFERABLE".  When questioned
concerning this condition the Port of Seattle representative advised only that "It came from above" and
"It was our decision".

It seems you have placed the liveaboard owners in an extremely untenable situation:

1.   Refuse to sign the lease and face eviction within 30 days  with nowhere to go, or,
2.   Sign the lease and accept the reality of an equity value of zero, as no one in their right mind
would buy a liveaboard with no place to put it

Virtually every liveaboard tenant at the Salmon Bay Marina obtained their moorage slip via transfer
from purchase. This is common practice in privately operated marina and is the primary reason
liveaboard moorage almost never becomes available. It is almost always passed on to a purchaser.

It is my assumption that "NON-TRANSFERABLE" in the proposed lease for Salmon Bay liveaboard tenants
was intended to facilitate eventual elimination through attrition.  I further understand that there has
been a revision in your policy and that you now intend to maintain, and possibly consider expansion of
this type of affordable housing. If this is true there does not appear any valid reason to not eliminate
this onerous provision from your lease.

Finally, the Port of Seattle proposed lease was presented for review a mere week ago. Please do the
right thing and extend the required signature date until September 1, 2018. As of this date I am not
aware of a single liveaboard tenant that has actually received a lease from the Port of Seattle.

Thank you for allowing me to comment.

Respectfully,

Jerry Effenberger
Resident (Part Time)
Salmon Bay Marina
