Managing Operations
The Port will contract with an entity to operate the facility.
Economic Development Division will procure operator for facility for 1st year
at cost of $50,000.
The Division will hire operator over term of lease and will explore how other
partners can help cover this expense.
Operator helps ensure that building uses fall within the Port's legal jurisdiction.
The operator will manage use of the facility, oversee daily operations, and help
the Port screen prospective subtenants.
The Port will ultimately approve subleases for the premises.
To ensure equity and community leadership, the contractor will collaborate
with the Duwamish Valley PCAT and Port staff to identify, prioritize and
implement the facility's day-to-day programming, events, and activities.
