WE MISS YOU IN PERSON
WE HAVE SOME PAPERS FOR YOU TO READ WHEN YOU GET BACK, OR I GUESS WE'LL BE EMAILING THEM LATER TODAY
ON THURSDAY, THE CITY OF DES MOINES WILL TAKE UP YOUR PURCHASE OFFER FOR TRACK C
COMMUNITY MEMBERS BELIEVE THIS AUTHORIZATION ON THEIR PART IS PREMATURE BECAUSE WE'RE CURRENTLY IN APPEAL OF THE SEPA WITHIN THE APPEAL OF THE SEPA FINDING OF DETERMINATION OF NON SIGNIFICANCE
WE ARE COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE STAGING A GRASSROOTS APPEAL OF THAT BECAUSE WE DO BELIEVE THAT THE LAND IN WHICH THE DEVELOPMENT THE LAST 16%
IT LOOKS LIKE OF THE 5 MILLION ACRES
I MEAN, 5 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF
IT FEELS LIKE ACRES
5 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS OCCURRED AS PART OF THE DES MOINES CREEK BUSINESS PARK IS WHAT IS AT STAKE FOR MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY
THIS LAST 16% IS CRITICAL FOR MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT ABUTS THEIR HOMES, IS COVERED WITH OVER 500 TREES, IS A WOODED TRAIL, LAND WHICH CONNECTS TWO TRAILS THAT ARE WELL LOVED AND WELL USED
AND IF IT SEEMS SHOCKING THAT THERE IS THIS GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING AGAINST DEVELOPING THIS LAST LITTLE TRACK, IT SHOULD NOT BE
IT'S VERY HARD FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THE GOINGS ON OF DEVELOPMENT
BUT WHAT THEY ARE SEEING IS THE LOSS OF THE TREES IN THEIR BACKYARDS AND THE IMPACT OF THE DEVELOPMENT ON THEIR TRAIL SYSTEM
THIS WE ARE ASKING
WHOOP
THE TIME IS UP
WE ARE ASKING
THANK YOU
WE ARE ASKING YOU TO LISTEN TO BARBARA MCMICHAEL WHO WILL BE GOING NEXT
THANK YOU FOR THOSE COMMENTS
CLERK HART, PLEASE CALL THE NEXT SPEAKER
YES, OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS BARBARA MCMICHAEL
BARBARA, PLEASE GO AHEAD AND REPEAT YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND YOUR AGENDA ITEM OR TOPIC RELATED TO THE CONDUCT OF PORT BUSINESS, PLEASE
THANK YOU
AND I'M LOOKING AT THE CAMERA THERE
IF I TO LOOK RIGHT STRAIGHT TO THE AYES OF
YOU CAN
YES, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY
OKAY
GOOD AFTERNOON
MY NAME IS BARBARA MCMICHAEL
I'M A RESIDENT OF DES MOINES
I'LL BE SPEAKING ABOUT THE BARNES CREEK TRAIL EXTENSION, WHICH IS A PART OF THE PROPOSED DES MOINES CREEK BUSINESS PARK WEST
I'M ALWAYS PLEASED TO HEAR PRESIDENT MOHAMMED SPEAK ABOUT THE COMMITMENT TO STEWARDSHIP OF NATURAL RESOURCES
I TAKE THAT TO HEART
THAT'S WHY AS A DES MOINES RESIDENT, TWO DIFFERENT TIMES I SERVED ON THE DES MOINES PARKS MASTER, DES MOINES PARKS RECREATION AND SENIOR SERVICES MASTER PLAN
AND THE MOST RECENT ONE, WHICH WAS 2016-21, INCLUDED MENTION OF THE FACT FOR A SECOND TIME IN MY EXPERIENCE THAT WE WERE EXPECTING THAT BARNES CREEK TRAIL EXTENSION TO BE PART OF OUR PARKS SYSTEM
A YEAR LATER, THE CITY MANAGER MOVED IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION
AND AS YOU ALL PROBABLY KNOW, THAT CITY MANAGER IS NO LONGER WITH THE CITY
MOST RECENTLY IN PLANNING FOR A SURVEY RESPONSE TO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR, YOU KNOW, THE 20 YEAR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
THE MOST COMMENTS THE CITY OF DES MOINES GOT, AND THEY WERE REALLY PLEASED WITH JUST THE TURNOUT OF THE SURVEYS, RESPONSIVE SURVEYS
THE MOST COMMENTS PEOPLE GOT WERE WE WANT TO PRESERVE OUR GREEN SPACE ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE, ABOVE PUBLIC SAFETY, EVEN
SO I WANT THE COMMISSIONER CHO BE AWARE OF THAT
IT SEEMS SOMETIMES LIKE THE PORT STAFF IS DEDICATED TO, YOU KNOW, THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK AND YOU, OUR COMMISSIONERS ARE THE ARE WHAT IS YOU ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO
IT'S UP TO YOU TO KEEP US SAFE
AS A LONGTIME DES MOINES RESIDENT, I HAVE TWO VERY SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES DESPITE HAVING LIVED A VERY VIRTUOUS LIFE
AND I WOULD PROBABLY ATTRIBUTE THAT TO LIVING UNDERNEATH THE APPROACH TO THE SECOND RUNWAY
I WAS REALLY DISHEARTENED TO SEE DAVE MCFARLAND ON AYE
WAY OUT THE DOOR FIST BUMP
THE DEVELOPER OF THE PANETTONE
WITH REGARD TO YOUR AGREEMENT BY TO AGREE TO PAY THE CITY OF DES MOINES FOR THAT STREET STEP, I'M AGAINST IT
WE WANT THIS PARKLAND TO REMAIN PARKLAND AND TURN IT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
THANK YOU
THANK YOU BARBARA FOR YOUR COMMENTS
CLARK HART, PLEASE CALL THE NEXT SPEAKER
YES
OUR FINAL SIGNUP TODAY IS FROM JOSHUA WELTER
JOSHUA, IF YOU COULD PLEASE REPEAT YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND YOUR TOPIC
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER, COMMISSION PRESIDENT MUHAMMAD AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION
FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS JOSHUA WELTER WITH TEAM LOCAL 117
I WANTED TO CONGRATULATE THE PORT ON THE SUCCESS OF THE ADR MARKETING PROGRAM
I READ THE PRESENTATION THAT YOU'RE GOING TO RECEIVE THE MATERIALS WITH GREAT INTEREST AND CONGRATULATE YOU ON THE SUCCESS AND ENCOURAGE THE PORT TO BUILD ON THAT SUCCESS FOR AIRPORT TAXIS AS WELL
ONE THING I WANTED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO YOU ALL IN YOUR BRIEFING PACKET ON ONE OF THE NON RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES WHICH WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD ON ADR MARKETING IS ALTERNATIVE ONE AND IT'S NON RECOMMENDED
AND ONE OF THE CONS THAT WAS LISTED HERE IS THAT THAT OPTION WOULD LIMIT THE VISIBILITY OF SMALLER BUSINESSES THAT DO NOT HAVE THE COLLECTIVE BUYING POWER FOR LARGE SCALE MARKETING COMPARED TO THE LARGER BUSINESSES
AND I THINK THAT THAT EQUITY ANALYSIS IS WELL PLACED AND I THINK ALSO APPLIES TO CONSIDERATIONS OF BUILDING ON THE SUCCESS OF ADR MARKETING FOR TAXIS WHO ARE ALL IMMIGRANT OWNER OPERATORS OF THEIR OF THEIR SMALL BUSINESSES
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND APPRECIATE YOUR TIME
THANK YOU JOSHUA FOR THOSE COMMENTS
DO WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS? THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS SIGNED UP
IF YOU WANT TO CALL FOR ANYBODY FROM THE ROOM
VERY GOOD
YEAH
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE PRESENT ON THE TEAM'S CALL OR PRESENT IN THE ROOM TODAY WHO DID NOT SIGN UP BUT WISHES TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION? IF SO, PLEASE DO STATE YOUR NAME AT THIS TIME AND YOUR AGENDA TOPIC
I'LL PAUSE HEARING NONE AT THIS TIME
ARE THERE ANY WRITTEN COMMENTS? CLARK, COULD YOU PROVIDE US WITH A SYNOPSIS OF THOSE COMMENTS IF WE HAVE ANY
THANK YOU MADAM COMMISSION PRESIDENT
WE DO HAVE ONE WRITTEN COMMENT RECEIVED TODAY
THIS HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY DISTRIBUTED TO THE COMMISSIONERS VIA EMAIL
SO YOU DO HAVE THAT THIS IS FROM KATHY CASEY, ADR TENANT AND CO-FOUNDER OF THE SMALL BUSINESS ACTION COMMITTEE, WHO WRITES TO LEND SUPPORT TO EXECUTE TENANT MARKETING FUND CONTRACTS
ITEM 10A ON TODAY'S AGENDA
SHE NOTES THAT THE PROGRAMS REALLY ADD TO THE RETAIL AND DINING EXPERIENCES FOR PASSENGERS AT SEA
SHE FURTHER NOTES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CONCESSIONAIRE SUPPLEMENTAL EXPENDITURES FUND AS ESPECIALLY BENEFICIAL TO SMALL MINORITY AND WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES WHO WANT TO DO UNIQUE AND LOCAL FOOD AND BEVERAGE PROMOTIONS BUT DON'T HAVE THE FULL TIME MARKETING DEPARTMENT OR EXTRA MARKETING FUNDS
AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR WRITTEN COMMENTS RECEIVED TODAY
THANK YOU SO MUCH, CLARK HART, FOR THAT SYNOPSIS AND FOR SHARING THAT
SO HEARING NO FURTHER PUBLIC TESTIMONIES, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD IN OUR AGENDA
AND JUST FOR THE LISTENING PUBLIC, ALL COMMISSIONERS ARE PARTICIPATING VIRTUALLY TODAY
WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF OUR COMMISSIONERS WHO ARE TRAVELING
AND HAVING OUR COMMISSIONERS BE VIRTUALLY WAS THE BEST WAY FOR US TO MANAGE OUR MEETING AND JUST STREAMLINE THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS
AND IT DOES MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER FOR OUR STAFF TO PROVIDE PRESENTATION
IT GIVES US ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY
BUT I JUST DO WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO CAME IN PERSON TODAY AND PROVIDED PUBLIC COMMENT
WE APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AND TAKE THEM VERY SERIOUSLY AND APPRECIATE YOUR ENGAGEMENT
WITH THAT SAID, I WILL MOVE US ALONG TO THE NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA, WHICH IS THE CONSENT AGENDA
ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE AND WILL BE ADOPTED BY ONE MOTION
ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA WILL BE CONSIDERED SEPARATELY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ADOPTION OF THE REMAINING CONSENT AGENDA ITEM
AT THIS TIME, THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS THAT ARE COVERING ITEMS NUMBER 8A, 8B AND 8C

WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE HAVE FORMED WITH MANY ADR TENANTS AT THE AIRPORT AND WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE THEM AT SEA
AND LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE ENTIRE DINING AND RETAIL TEAM WITHIN COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING KALIA AND HER STAFF
YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE, BUT THIS IS AN AWARD WINNING TEAM ITSELF
IN THE SPRING OF THIS YEAR, THE PROMINENT AIRPORT INDUSTRY GROUP AIRPORT EXPERIENCE, OR AXN AS IT'S KNOWN, AWARDED THE C TEAM AS THE BEST COMMERCIAL TEAM IN NORTH AMERICA
AGAIN, THE BEST COMMERCIAL TEAM IN NORTH AMERICA
PRETTY IMPRESSIVE
REMARKABLE ACCOMPLISHMENT AND EXTREMELY WELL DESERVED
WAY TO GO
CALEA AND TEAM COMMISSIONERS, WITH AUTHORIZATION OF TODAY'S REQUEST, YOU'LL BE ENABLING STAFF TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH ADR TENANTS ON MARKETING ADVERTISING INITIATIVES THAT TRULY ELEVATE THE TRAVELER'S EXPERIENCE AT SEA

THE NEW FOOD INCUBATOR PROGRAM
IT'S SIMILAR TO OUR ESTABLISHED RETAIL INCUBATOR PROGRAM APPROVED BY YOU, THE COMMISSION EARLIER THIS YEAR AND SCHEDULED FOR OPENING NEXT YEAR ON CONCOURSE B IN THE CENTRAL TERMINAL
AND LAST, AND LOOKING A LITTLE BIT FURTHER OUT INTO THE FUTURE, THE RENOVATION OF THE SOUTH CONCOURSE AND NEW ADR OPPORTUNITIES IN DUTY FREE THAT WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE AS PART OF THAT PROJECT

OKAY, SO I HOPE YOU CAN HEAR ME BECAUSE I JUST LOST CONNECTION A SECOND AGO SO I HOPE IT CAME BACK
OKAY, GREAT
SO GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS AND DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GOON
OKAY, SO NEXT SLIDE
THANK YOU SO MUCH
JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE TENANT MARKETING FUND
THE TENANT MARKETING FUND WAS WITHOUT REFER TO THROUGHOUT THIS PRESENTATION AS TMS WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2005 AND THAT WAS AT A TIME IN WHICH WE THE PORT ENTERED ENDED THE MASTER CONCESSIONAIRE CONTRACT WITH HOST
AT THAT TIME, BUSINESSES WERE ABLE TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE PORT DIRECTLY TO OPERATE NEW DINING AND RETAIL LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT SEA
THE FUND WAS ESTABLISHED SPECIFICALLY TO HELP PROMOTE THE OFFERINGS, QUALITY AND VARIETY THROUGHOUT THE NEW DINING RETAIL PROGRAM AND IS AN INDUSTRY STANDARD THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SOME OF THE DETAILS ON HOW THE TENANT MARKETING FUND OPERATES
ADR TENANTS PAY DIRECTLY INTO THE FUND BASED ON THE TERMS OF THEIR LEASING CONCESSIONS AGREEMENT
NON INCUBATOR LOCATIONS CONTRIBUTE OF THE GROSS MONTHLY SALES PER UNIT UP TO $30,000 ANNUALLY
INTERMEDIATE INCUBATORS, WHICH ARE FORMERLY KNOWN AS KIOSKS, CONTRIBUTE 0.25% OF GROSS MONTHLY SALES UP TO $15,000 ANNUALLY AND INTRODUCTORY INCUBATORS CONTRIBUTE A ONE TIME FEE OF $250 INTO THE TMF
COMBINED ADR TENANTS AVERAGE AN ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION OF APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 MILLION DOLLARS INTO THE TMF
THIS HAS HAD SOME VARIATION AS LOCATIONS HAVE OPENED AND CLOSED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS
THE TMF REVENUE AND SPEND ARE MANAGED BY THE ADR STAFF AND ARE REVIEWED BY REGULAR MEETINGS WITH THE ADR TENANT MARKETING COMMITTEE
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE SOME OF YOU MAY ASK WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A PROGRAMMATIC MARKETING AS OPPOSED TO A CATEGORY OR INDIVIDUALIZED SPECIFIC MARKETING PROCESS? AND THE REALITY IS THERE ARE STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
PROGRAMMATIC MARKETING ALLOWS FOR A HOLISTIC AWARENESS OF THE ENTIRETY OF THE PROGRAM
CUSTOMERS NEVER ATTRIBUTE THEIR AIRPORT EXPERIENCE TO ONE THING, SO IT REALLY ALLOWS US TO TARGET OUR COMMUNICATIONS IN A MORE COMPREHENSIVE WAY
THERE IS SYNERGY WITH HOW MARKETING TRANSLATES ACROSS A MULTITUDE OF PLATFORMS AND IT'S CONSISTENT WITH HOW WE TRACK IT
WE TRACK A VARIETY OF METRICS AND WHEN WE DO PROGRAMMATIC MARKETING, WE FOCUS ON A WIDE SCALE WITH MULTIPLE TOUCH POINTS AND ALLOWS THAT TO BE CAPTURED AND RECAPTURED TO REALLY ENSURE COMPLETE COVERAGE OF DEMOGRAPHICS THAT TARGET NOT JUST OUR MOST FREQUENT TRAVELERS IN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT WAYS, BUT FOCUS ON SPECIFIC TYPES OF MARKETING SO WE DON'T MISS OUT ON TRAVELERS WHO WOULD TYPICALLY ENGAGE WITH AN AD, BUT MAY NOT ENGAGE WITH AN AD SPECIFICALLY ON WHEN YOU TARGET SPECIFIC A CERTAIN TYPE OF CATEGORY ONLY
SO FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU ONLY DO FOOD ADVERTISING, IF SOMEONE'S LOOKING FOR A IF SOMEONE'S ENGAGING WITH SOMETHING SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE THEY'RE ONLY THINKING ABOUT AIRLINE TICKETS, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO THINK ABOUT FOOD NECESSARILY
SO WE DON'T WANT TO ONLY FOCUS ON ONE TYPE OF THING AT ALL GIVEN TIME
ADDITIONALLY, FAIR MARKET VALUES FOR A LOT OF MARKETING EFFORTS CAN BE REALLY OUT OF REACH FOR MANY BUSINESSES AND WITH THE RISING COST OF DOING BUSINESSES DOING BUSINESS IN GENERAL, ANCILLARY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH MARKETING CAN BE REALLY HARD TO ALLOCATE ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR
HOWEVER, WITH THE STRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE, THE COST IS ALREADY PART OF THE OPERATING COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH BUSINESSES WITHIN THE ADR PROGRAM, SO IT ALLOWS FOR BUSINESSES TO BENEFIT FROM THE PROGRAM REALLY REGARDLESS OF THEIR SIZE
THIS PROGRAM HAS PROVIDED AMAZING BENEFITS TO HAVE INCLUDED A FULL SCALE WEBSITE, A MOBILE ORDERING PLATFORM, PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY WITH COPYRIGHTS THAT CAN BE USED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THEIR SPACES AND MUCH MORE
LASTLY, THIS ENSURES BRAND ALIGNMENT WITH THE MARKETING WHEN THERE IS AN ESTABLISHED BRAND LIKE THE ADR BRAND, THE SEA BRAND AND THE PORT BRAND ALL HAVE IT'S KEY THAT INDIVIDUAL MARKETING EFFORTS CAN LACK THE DESIRED EFFECT WHEN THERE ISN'T BRAND RECOGNITION
ADDITIONALLY, THEY CAN MISUSE THINGS LIKE LOGOS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIRPORT OR THE PORT, AND THERE'S AN ASSURANCE THAT THE MESSAGING CAN REMAIN INTACT WHILE PROMOTING THE CONCEPTS AND CATEGORIES THROUGHOUT THE PROGRAM APPROPRIATELY
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
AS JEFF MENTIONED, WE ARE WE DO HAVE INDUSTRY AWARDS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR PROGRAM AS WELL AND OUR MARKETING EFFORTS, AND I REALLY WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THOSE INDUSTRY ACCOLADES THAT OUR PROGRAM HAS RECEIVED OVER THE YEARS
SOME OF THESE AWARDS SPECIFICALLY ARE FOR CAMPAIGNS THAT WE'VE WON, WHILE AS JEFF MENTIONED, WE HAVE WON THE BEST COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT TEAM THIS YEAR, WHICH WAS ENHANCED BY SOME OF OUR PROGRAM EFFORTS SUCH AS THE REBRANDING OF THE ADR PROGRAM AS WELL AS LAUNCHING THE EXPLORER SEA WEBSITE
BEFORE I MOVE FORWARD, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY ON WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SO FAR? I DO
I THINK YOU COMMISSIONER HASEGAWA, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION I'M HAPPY TO HOLD UNTIL THE END IF YOU PREFER, MADAM PRESIDENT? I THINK THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE EASIER, BUT IF YOU HAVE A BURNING QUESTION, YOU'RE WELCOME TO PROCEED
OKAY, GREAT
OKAY, SO WE CAN JUMP INTO THE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE CONTRACTS
AND SO ONE THING THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS JEFF MENTIONED ALL THE CONTRACTS THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO TALK ABOUT
WE'RE REQUESTING APPROVAL TO EXECUTE CONTRACTS OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS
HOWEVER, THE INDIVIDUAL CONTRACT TERMS ARE FOR MUCH SHORTER DURATION, RANGING FROM ONE TIME PURCHASE ORDERS TO A MAXIMUM FIVE YEAR TERM
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THE FIRST UP IS INTERNAL ENTERTAINMENT AND CULTURAL INTERACTION ACTIVATION
SORRY
HERE ARE A FEW PHOTOS JUST TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORIES OF SOME OF THIS YEAR'S EVENT
AND SO YOU'LL SEE OUR LUNAR NEW YEAR CELEBRATION, OUR EID CELEBRATION, AND JUST RECENTLY OUR WORLD CHOCOLATE DAY
NOW THESE EVENTS ARE KEY NOT JUST TO CREATING A SENSE OF PLACE AND BELONGING FOR OUR CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES, BUT BY CELEBRATING VARIOUS HOLIDAYS FOR MANY CULTURES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, BUT ALSO BY PROMOTING THE AMAZING OFFERINGS WITHIN THE ADR PROGRAM
JUST TWO WEEKS AGO WE HOSTED WORLD CHOCOLATE DAY WHICH HIGHLIGHTED FOUR OF OUR CHOCOLATIERS AND CONFECTIONERS WITHIN THE PROGRAM
DILETTANTE MILK CAFE, THE CONFECTIONERY SEATTLE CHOCOLATE, AND NATALIE'S CANDY JAR
ALL ACCUSATIONS INCLUDE ELEMENTS OF SURPRISE AND DELIGHT FOR THE PUBLIC, WHICH RANGE FROM TASTY TREATS, MUSIC
BUT OUR CULTURAL EVENTS ALSO INCLUDE AN EDUCATIONAL ELEMENT THAT REALLY HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HOLIDAY AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO BRING THESE THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THAT YEAR
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THIS CONTRACT CURRENTLY IS FUNDED 100% THROUGH THE 10 THROUGH THE TENANT MARKETING FUND AND IS 100% WMBE
THERE IS A 2025 AVIATION BUDGET REQUEST TO SHARE THIS COST
THIS CONTRACT COST BETWEEN THE PORT AND THE TENANT MARKETING FUND
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THE SOUNDS OF SEA MUSIC PROGRAM THIS IS OUR LONG STANDING AWARD WINNING MUSIC PROGRAM AND IS AN AMAZING PASSENGER AMENITY
THE INCREASED WELL TIME IS ALSO KEY WITHIN AREAS THAT LEND ITSELF TO INCREASED DWELL TIME AT ADR LOCATIONS AS WELL IS A TRULY IMPORTANT AND AMAZING ASPECT OF WHAT WE OFFER HERE WITHIN THE AIRPORT
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN SUPPORTED BY BOTH THE PORT AND THE TMF SINCE THE INCEPTION IN 2012 AND THIS CONTRACT CURRENTLY IS 100% WMBE AND THE CONTRACT TERM IS A MAXIMUM OF FIVE YEARS
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
I WANTED TO PROVIDE SOME EXAMPLES OF PROGRAMMATIC MARKETING AND ADVERTISING IN ACTION
THE ACTIVATIONS THAT YOU SEE ON THIS SLIDE ARE DIGITAL ADVERTISING AND TERMINAL ON THE CLEAR CHANNEL DISPLAYS WHICH ARE LOCATED ON BOTH ENDS
IN THE MIDDLE, THE AD AT THE TOP IS ONE THAT HAS RAN ON DIGITAL ADVERTISING THROUGH MULTIPLE WEBPAGES AND SITES AND AT THE BOTTOM MIDDLE THAT IS OUR EXPLORE SEA WEBSITE WHICH HAS ALSO WON AWARDS FOR REBRANDING OF THE PROGRAM ITSELF
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THESE TYPES OF CONTRACTS ARE PURCHASED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS AND ARE BASED ON FAIR MARKET VALUE
NOW THEY CAN BE NEGOTIATED IN ADVANCE IN SOME CASES, BUT THEY TYPICALLY RANGE ABOUT ONE TO TWO YEARS AND THESE ARE 100% FUNDED BY THE TENANT MARKETING FUND
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THE MOBILE ORDERING PLATFORM
NOW THIS WAS LAUNCHED BACK IN 2020 AND IS A GREAT CUSTOMER AMENITY ALLOWING FOR PRE ORDERING FUNCTIONALITY AND CAPTURING POTENTIAL WALK OFF DOLLARS WHEN LINES ARE TOO LONG OR PASSENGERS ARE RUNNING LATE
WE HAVE HAD REALLY GOOD SUCCESS WITH THIS NOW, BUT THE TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED AND IT CONTINUES TO CHANGE AND ADVANCE OVER THE TIME
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
WHILE WE CURRENTLY HAVE A SINGULAR PLATFORM, WE'RE LOOKING TO MAINTAIN ONE AND THAT'S A KEY COMPONENT FOR US
A LOT OF OUR TENANTS HAVE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT MOBILE ORDERING CAPABILITIES, BUT WE FIND THAT THAT REALLY IS THE BEST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE FOR US AND SO WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE ONE SINGULAR PLATFORM THAT REALLY ALLOWS FOR CUSTOMER EASE AS WELL AS EXPANDING FOR EFFICIENCIES OVERALL
AS IT CONTINUES TO EVOLVE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A CONTRACT TERM THAT'S ABOUT TWO YEARS WITH A ONE YEAR OPTION TO ALLOW FOR THAT FLEXIBILITY
CURRENTLY THERE IS NO WMBE PARTICIPATION ON THIS CONTRACT
HOWEVER, THERE IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR WMBE PARTICIPATION AS WELL AS SMALL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CONTRACT THAT WOULD BE NEW
THIS ALSO IS SOLELY FUNDED BY THE TENANT MARKETING FUND
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
CONCESSIONARY SUPPLEMENTAL EXPENDITURES
THESE EXPENDITURES CAN SUPPORT ALL TYPES OF OTHER ACTIVITIES, WHETHER THEY ARE SMALL EVENTS THAT WE LOOK TO DO
SIGNAGE, PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEOGRAPHY, ALL TYPES OF SPECIAL ACTIVATIONS THAT WE MAY DO THAT ARE VERY SMALLER IN NATURE, BUT ONE TIME PURCHASES
THESE MAY BE PURCHASE ORDERS OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT JUST COME UP THAT REALLY HONE IN ON NOT LARGE SCALE EVENTS, BUT REALLY SMALL TARGETED EVENTS THAT REALLY JUST FOCUS ON PROMOTING A CERTAIN TYPE OF TENANT OR A CERTAIN CATEGORY OF TENANT, OR REALLY JUST MAYBE RENTALS ASSOCIATED WITH A LARGER EVENT THAT WE WANT TO PUT FORTH
AND THIS IS EITHER KEY PIECES THAT ARE MORE SO ONE TIME ACTIVATIONS OR ONE TIME PURCHASES AS OPPOSED TO LARGE SCALE CONTRACTS
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE ANOTHER LARGE OPPORTUNITY FOR WMBE AND SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION
AND THESE ARE ALSO 100% TMF FUNDED
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
AND FINALLY WE HAVE OUR FUNDING CHART THAT BREAKS OUT A HOLISTIC VIEW OF THE NOT TO EXCEED CONTRACT DOLLARS OVER THE 10 YEARS OF EACH OF THE CONTRACTS THAT WE WENT OVER TODAY
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING YOUR TIME AND I WELCOME ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT THE COMMISSIONERS MAY HAVE AT THIS TIME
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT PRESENTATION
AND THIS PROGRAM IS DEFINITELY AN OUTSTANDING PROGRAM
WE TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S AN AWARD WINNING PROGRAM AND DO APPRECIATE ALL OF THE HARD WORK THAT GOES INTO IT
AT THIS TIME I WILL OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS FROM MY COLLEAGUES
AND I BELIEVE COMMISSIONER HASEGAWA, YOU HAD A QUESTION? SURE
SO ON SLIDE 4, CAN WE TURN TO THAT PLEASE? YOU HAVE HERE THAT THE MARKETING PROGRAM REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES ARE MANAGED BY THE ADR STAFF WITHIN THE AVIATION COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT
SO HOW DO THE PAYEES WHO ARE PAYING INTEREST THE PROGRAM, DO THEY HAVE ANY SAY OVER WHAT KIND OF ADVERTISEMENTS ARE HAPPENING? SO THEY ACTUALLY HAVE
THEY'VE HIRED A MARKETING CONSULTANT AND THE CONSULTANT PUTS TOGETHER AN ENTIRE PACKAGE OF ADVIS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE FOR THEM TO REVIEW
AND SO THEY REVIEW THOSE AT A REGULAR MEETING AND THAT'S WHAT MOVES FORWARD EVERY YEAR AT A REGULAR INTERNAL MEETING AS AN ASSOCIATION, AS REPRESENTATIVES OF THE DIFFERENT BUSINESSES, OR AT A MEETING WITH THE ADR TENANT MARKETING
OH, SO WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE ADR TENANT MARKETING COMMITTEE? YES
SO IT'S OPEN TO ALL ADR TENANTS AND THE TENANTS HAVE DECIDED WHO THEY'D LIKE TO HAVE AS A PART OF IT
SO THEY, THEY RECEIVE THAT ANNUAL, THEY RECEIVE THAT ANNUALLY AND THEY IDENTIFY WHO THEY'D LIKE TO HAVE AS A PART OF IT, AS A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THEIR ORGANIZATION
AND THEN THEY COME TO THAT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS
AND THEY GO THROUGH THAT ENTIRE MARKETING PLAN WITH THEIR HIRED CONSULTANTS
OKAY
IN CONSULTATION WITH STAFF WITH ADR YEP
AND THEN WHAT ARE OTHER USES OF THAT DO THEY DO
IS IT FOR THE VERY NARROW USE OF ADVERTISEMENTS SPECIFICALLY? OR ARE THERE
I'M SEEING ALSO THERE'S SOME PROMOTIONAL EVENTS, LIKE THE CHOCOLATE STAND
THIS COMMISSIONER WOULD HAVE LOVED
WHAT DID YOU CALL IT? A SWEET SURPRISE
IS THAT WHAT YOU
OH, YEAH, NO, WE HAD LINES OF PEOPLE FOR WORLD CHOCOLATE BAY AND PEOPLE WERE LINED UP
WE HAD
BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF CHOCOLATE GIVEN OUT
ABOUT $5,000 WORTH OF CHOCOLATE WAS GIVEN OUT TO PASSENGERS AND CUSTOMERS ALIKE
SO
AND IT WAS VERY WILLY WONKA THEMED
IT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY FANTASTIC IN BOTH THE NORTH AND CENTRAL TERMINAL
BUT YEAH
SO ALL OF THESE THINGS TAKE PLACE THROUGHOUT THAT MARKETING FUND
AND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WE HAVE SURPRISE AND DELIGHTS EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE THROUGHOUT ALSO
LIKE FOR INSTANCE, LAST YEAR, YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THE HOLIDAY PROGRAM
ALL OF THOSE THINGS TAKE PLACE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, CELEBRATING
AND THIS INCREASES DWELL TIME, INCREASES ENGAGEMENT WITH PASSENGERS
AND THIS IS THE KEY COMPONENT WITH THAT MARKETING FUND
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ONE ACTIVITY
IT'S ABOUT ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT INCREASE THE TIME, THE DWELL TIME WITHIN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE AIRPORT THAT REALLY ENGAGE PASSENGERS WITH WHAT'S AROUND THEM
AND ALSO THAT'S ONE OF THE KEY COMPONENTS WITH WHY THE TENANTS SUPPORT THE MUSIC PROGRAM
BECAUSE AS PASSENGERS ARE IN THOSE GENERAL AREAS, WE HAVE FOUND THAT THE INCREASED DWELL TIME OF PASSENGERS IN THOSE GENERAL AREAS ACTUALLY GETS PEOPLE MORE ENGAGED WITH WHAT'S AROUND THEM
AND THEY SAY, OH, WELL, THERE'S A SUB POP HERE
OH, THERE'S A COACH HERE
WELL, LET ME GO AND SPEND SOME TIME SHOPPING
THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT WE HAVE FOUND TO TURN OVER
AND THAT'S WHAT THE FEEDBACK THAT WE'VE GOTTEN FROM OUR TENANTS AND WHY THEY CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ADDING MORE MONEY INTO THE MUSIC PROGRAM AS WELL
SO THAT'S WHAT WE CONTINUE TO DO THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
AND THEN DOES
DOES ANY TENANT HAVE THE OPTION TO DECLINE TO PARTICIPATE OR IS IT PRETTY MUCH FOLDED INTO THE TERMS? FOR ALL EDR TENANTS, IT'S FOLDED INTO THE TERMS OF LEASING CONCESSIONS AGREEMENT
SO EVERYONE PARTICIPATES THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS
EVERYONE DOES, REGARDLESS OF SIZE
AND THEY'LL CONTRIBUTE 5% BUT NOT TO EXCEED 30,000
YES
SO DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF THE TYPE OF CONTRACT THEY HAVE
SO IF THEY'RE NON INCUBATORS, THEY HAVE THE
THEY HAVE THE 0.5%
IF THEY'RE THE INTERMEDIATE, THEY HAVE THE 0.25%
AND IF THEY ARE AN INTRODUCTORY INCUBATOR, THEN THEY HAVE THE $250 ONE TIME FEE
YEAH
SO I SEE HOW THIS IS SUCH LIKE A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF SUPPORTING THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
ALSO, IT SEEMS IT'S REALLY HOLISTICALLY LIKE THE RIGHT THING TO DO
AND I THINK OF THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE RIBBON AND HOW WALKING THROUGH THE AIRPORT IS A BIG PIECE OF THAT, BUT SO IS HOW THEY'RE GETTING TO THE AIRPORT AND HOW THEY'RE LEAVING THE AIRPORT
SO HAS SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEEN CONSIDERED FOR GROUND TRANSPORTATION? SO I'LL JUMP IN THERE
THANKS, COMMISSIONER
SO, YEAH, THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES
AS YOU'RE AWARE, IN LAST YEAR, WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE TAXI PILOT OR THE TAXI PROGRAM THAT WAS APPROVED BY COMMISSION, ONE OF THE ELEMENTS OF THAT WAS TO EXPLORE MARKETING ALTERNATIVES
WE HAVE EXPLORED ALTERNATIVES
WE HAVE SOME LIMITATIONS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE COLLECTION OF FUNDS FROM TAXI DRIVERS TO BE HELD BY THE PORT OR TO BE REMITTED TO A THIRD PARTY ORGANIZATION WHEN IT'S A SINGLE LINE OF BUSINESS
SO ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THE TENANT MARKETING FUND IS SUCCESSFUL IS BECAUSE IT'S PROGRAMMATIC, AS KALIA TALKED ABOUT, AND IT ENCOMPASSES THE ENTIRE DINING RETAIL PROGRAM
THE CHALLENGE WITH GROUND TRANSPORTATION IS THAT WE CAN'T FOCUS IT ON ONE SERVICE PROVIDER
WHAT IS A POSSIBILITY AND THAT WE HAVE STARTED TO EXPLORE IS THE ENTIRETY OF GROUND TRANSPORTATION
SO WHOEVER IS WITHIN OUR PROGRAM, TAXIS, TNCS, RENTAL CARS, SHUTTLES
SO WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT
THAT CAUSES OR POSES ITS OWN CHALLENGES IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO COLLECT FROM ALL OF THOSE ENTITIES
BUT IT IS SOMETHING WE'RE EXPLORING, SO WE ARE EXPLORING OTHER OPTIONS AS WELL
SO WE DO HAVE AN ADVERTISING PARTNER IN TERMINAL CLEAR CHANNEL, AND WE'RE ABLE TO OFFER IN CONJUNCTION WITH CLEAR CHANNEL, DISCOUNTED RATE TO TENANTS, INCLUDING TAXI PROVIDERS AND OTHERS
SO THAT'S ONE OPTION
THE OTHER OPTION IS WITH OUR EXTERNAL RELATIONS GROUP
SO JUST OUR
I'LL CALL IT TYPICAL OUTREACH THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS
WE COULD DO A GROUND TRANSPORTATION INFO, YOU MIGHT SAY, TO THE TRAVELING PUBLIC THAT COULD HIGHLIGHT SERVICE PROVIDERS SUCH AS TAXIS OR TNCS
THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS AND WE CONTINUE TO EXPLORE THOSE WITH OUR GROUND TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS
OKAY
IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM
THAT'S INTERESTING
OKAY, THANK YOU
I APPRECIATE IT
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS
THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONER HASEGAWA
JEFF, IF I COULD JUST ASK IF YOU COULD ELABORATE ON MAYBE JUST PROVIDING TIMELINES ON THAT LAST QUESTION THAT COMMISSIONER HASEGAWA ASKED YOU REGARDING GROUND TRANSPORTATION AND THE DISCUSSIONS
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SOMETHING WILL COME BEFORE COMMISSIONERS ON THAT? OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT STAFF
IS THERE ANY TIMELINES THAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY SHARE? CERTAINLY THE
THANKS FOR THE QUESTION, COMMISSIONER THE TIMELINE ON WORK WITH OUR ADVERTISING PARTNER IS REALLY OPEN AND FLUID
DEPENDING ON THE INTEREST OF OUR WHATEVER OPERATOR MIGHT WANT TO DO THAT
WE CERTAINLY CAN TALK WITH YOU, THE COMMISSIONERS, THE COMMISSION OFFICE, IN TERMS OF WHAT SORT OF INVOLVEMENT OR AUTHORIZATION MIGHT COME OR MIGHT BE REQUIRED FOR THAT
IN SOME SENSE IT'S JUST A BUSINESS REACHING OUT TO AN ADVERTISING PARTNER TO DO ADVERTISING AND IF THEY'RE WILLING TO SPEND THAT MONEY, THAT'S KIND OF NORMAL RUN OF BUSINESS
BUT THERE COULD BE A MORE PROGRAMMATIC EFFORT THAT WE PUT TOGETHER
SO AS MENTIONED, AND I WANT TO THANK JOSHUA FROM THE TEAMSTERS THAT COMMENTED TODAY, AS PART OF OUR TAXI PROGRAM, WE DO MEET REGULARLY EVERY MONTH WITH JOSHUA AND THE DRIVERS TO TALK ABOUT THESE SORTS OF ISSUES
AND SO, YOU KNOW, IF WE PUT A PLAN TOGETHER THAT REQUIRES COMMISSION AUTHORIZATION, WE COULD COME BEFORE COMMISSION THIS YEAR
I DON'T
WE JUST HAVE TO SEE WHAT ITEMS MIGHT TRIGGER AN AUTHORIZATION REQUEST VERSUS MAYBE JUST A BRIEFING, IF THAT'S WHAT THE COMMISSIONERS, YOU KNOW, DESIRE VERSUS JUST NORMAL RUN OF BUSINESS
SO THOSE ARE ITEMS THAT WE CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH
SO HOPEFULLY THAT HELPS ANSWER YOUR QUESTION SOMEWHAT
THAT DOES, THAT DOES
I NO LONGER SERVE ON THE AVIATION COMMITTEE AND SO IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON THERE AND TO GET LITTLE BITS OF OF UPDATES AND HEAR WHAT'S COMING NEXT
I APPRECIATE THAT
I DID HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION RELATED TO THIS AMAZING PROGRAM WITH THE ADR TENANTS
THE NEW MOBILE ORDERING PLATFORM, HAS THE DELIVERY BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THAT? DO WE SEE OTHER AIRPORTS DOING THE SAME THING? WHAT IS THAT LOOKING LIKE? MOBILE ORDERING HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL
WE DID HAVE SOME DOWNTIME THAT AS WE HAD SOME TENANTS WHO HAVE GONE UNDER CONSTRUCTION OR DONE SOME MIDTERM REFURBISHMENTS AND SO BRINGING THEM BACK ON OUR CONTRACT HAS COME TO AN END
AND SO WE'RE IN A MONTH TO MONTH MAINTENANCE
SO THAT'S WHY WE ARE LOOKING TO RE EXECUTE
BUT WE'RE CURRENTLY AT A POINT WHERE WE CAN'T EXECUTE A NEW CONTRACT CURRENTLY
AND SO WE NEED TO GO BACK OUT FOR AN RFP FOR A NEW OPERATOR
AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HERE TODAY TO GET APPROVAL TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PUTTING OUT A NEW RFP FOR
BUT AS FAR AS DELIVERY OUTSIDE OF THAT, THAT'S PART THAT HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT WE HAD AT ONE POINT IN TIME AND WENT AWAY DURING COVID AND IT HASN'T COME BACK
THAT ONE HAS BEEN A MUCH BIGGER CHALLENGE MAINTAINING STAFF AS WELL AS REALLY BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY HOW THAT MODEL WORKS
VERY FEW AIRPORTS HAVE A DELIVERY MODEL AND THAT HAS BEEN
AND THOSE FEW THAT DO ARE FULLY FUNDED
THE DELIVERY ITSELF IS FULLY FUNDED BY THE AIRPORT, WHERE THEY'RE COVERING THE ENTIRETY OF THE COST OF MAINTAINING THE STAFF AS WELL
AND SO THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE POSITION THAT THE TENANTS HAVE FELT
THAT HAS REALLY HAD A BIG RETURN
THE MOBILE ORDERING ON ITS OWN HAS BEEN PRETTY SOLID
SO WE DON'T SEE THAT BEING THE IMMEDIATE THING THAT WE WANT TO HAVE A COMEBACK
BUT WE HAVE LOOKED INTO POTENTIALLY PARTNERING WITH SOME OTHER AVENUES THROUGH OUR INNOVATION TEAM TO MAYBE LOOK AT SOME ROBOTIC OPTIONS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE
ONCE WE GET THAT BACK UP AND RUNNING, THAT'S WHERE WE REALLY WANTED TO LEAN INTO THOSE OPPORTUNITIES FOR WMBE PARTICIPATION IN SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION AS WE GROW THAT MOBILE ORDERING CAPABILITY AS TECHNOLOGY CONTINUES TO EVOLVE OVER TIME
THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL
COMMISSIONER CHO, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? CAN I JUST ASK A POINT OF CLARIFICATION, KALIA? SO I KNOW THAT THE MOBILE ORDERING SYSTEM IS UP, BUT ARE WE STILL DOING THE DELIVERY TO THE GATES PORTION OF THAT SERVICE? NO, NO, WE CAN'T DO
WE DON'T HAVE DELIVERY TO THE GATES ANYMORE
THAT COMPANY ACTUALLY IS REALLY MINIMAL, AND THEY REALLY MINIMIZE THEIR BUSINESS ALTOGETHER
SO IT'S JUST PICKUP
ESSENTIALLY
IT'S JUST PICKUP AT THE
OKAY
THE LOCATION
YEP
OKAY, THANKS
SO WE'RE HOPING TO REESTABLISH IT WITH MORE OF THAT ROBOT COMPONENT AS OPPOSED TO MAYBE A PHYSICAL PERSON, SINCE IT'S BEEN A STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN STAFF FOR THEM AND THEIR MODEL ITSELF HAS BEEN FULLY FUNDED BY THE AIRPORT
WELL, EMMY KNOW OF A COMPANY THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL FOR THAT
SO WE SHOULD
I'LL REACH OUT TO YOU SEPARATELY
FANTASTIC
COMMISSIONER CHO ALWAYS HAS AN IDEA AND RECOMMENDATIONS
WE CAN USE THOSE IDEAS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
RIGHT
AND KALIA, MAYBE FOR THE LISTENING PUBLIC AT TIMES
I'M SURE MY COLLEAGUES ALSO HAVE CONSTITUENTS WHO REACH OUT ABOUT, FOR INSTANCE, THE MUSIC PROGRAM, HOW THEY CAN PARTICIPATE IN IT
THEY WANT TO SHOWCASE THEIR ARTWORK
THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY INSIDE OF THE AIRPORT
DO WE SEND THEM TO YOU? HOW DO THEY GET IN CONTACT AND GET PLUGGED IN? YOU KNOW WHAT? I WILL ACTUALLY SEND A DIRECT CONTACT TO CLERK HART TO ADD TO THE NOTES
THERE IS A DIRECT CONTACT THAT WE HAVE FOR OUR GIG MANAGER THAT THEY CAN CONTACT AND BECOME A PART OF THAT OF THEIR COMPANY AS FAR AS THEIR SET LIST AND DO AN AUDITION WITH THEM AND BECOME PART OF THAT BECAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR MORE ACTS TO ADD
SO THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC IF THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED
AND WE'LL MAKE SURE TO GET THEIR DIRECT CONTACT INFORMATION TO CLERK HEART
WONDERFUL
THAT'S GREAT
ALL RIGHT
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME OR COMMENTS
AGAIN, I'M WONDERING IF WE SHOULD FORMALLY REFER THE ITEM OF ADVERTISING, GROUND TRANSPORTATION, TO COMMITTEE AND SEE IF WE CAN FORMALLY TAKE THAT UP
I HAVE NO COMMITTEE
I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THAT
SHOULD WE A CLERK HART
DO WE WANT TO DO THAT AT THE END DURING COMMITTEE REFERRALS, OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN TAKE UP NOW? THANK YOU, MADAM COMMISSION PRESIDENT
I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND DEFER TO COMMISSION CHIEF OF STAFF ERIN PRITCHARD
YEAH, WE CAN GO AHEAD AND REFER TO COMMITTEE NOW, BUT I WILL NOTE THAT IT'S GENERALLY COVERED UNDER THIS SORT OF CHARTER OF THAT COMMITTEE AS IS
BUT AS AN ISSUE, IT MIGHT JUST BE WORTH THE SORT OF PUBLIC REFERRAL
AND THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO WAIT, COMMISSIONER, FOR THE END OF THE MEETING
THAT CAN HAPPEN NOW IF YOU LIKE
WE'LL JUST NEED A MOTION TO REFER THAT OVER
COMMISSIONER HASEGAWA, DO YOU WANT TO MAKE THE MOTION THEN MOVED? CAN I GET A SECOND? GREAT
THE MOTION HAS BEEN MADE AND SECONDED
CLERK HART, COULD YOU CALL FOR THE VOTE? SURE
FOR REFERRAL OF THIS ITEM TO COMMITTEE BEGINNING WITH COMMISSIONER CHO
AYE
THANK YOU
COMMISSIONER HASEGAWA
AYE
THANK YOU
AND COMMISSIONER MOHAMMED
AYE
THANK YOU
AND JUST TO CLARIFY, THAT'S REFERRAL FOR GROUND TRANSPORTATION OVER TO COMMITTEE FOR A PROGRAM AS WELL LIKE THIS
SO THAT'S THREE AYES, ZERO NAYS FOR THIS ITEM
ADVERTISING FOR TRANSPORTATION
THANK YOU
ADVERTISING FOR GROUND TRANSPORTATION
AND THEN DO WE WANT TO GET A MAIN MOTION ON THE FLOOR FOR THIS ITEM FOR APPROVAL OF 10A? MADAM COMMISSION PRESIDENT
YES
CAN I
IS THERE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE ITEM 10A? APPROVE ITEM 10A
I'LL SECOND
GREAT
THE MOTION HAS BEEN MADE AND SECONDED
COMMISSIONERS, ARE THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSIONS FOR ITEM 10A AT THIS TIME? HEARING NONE
AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK BOTH JEFF AND KALIA FOR COMING AND PRESENTING TODAY
I KNOW WE TOOK ANOTHER VOTE TO MAKE A COMMITTEE REFERRAL, BUT I DEFINITELY WANT TO JUST SAY THAT THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM
IT SHOWS
IT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF TEAMWORK, COLLABORATION
I AM REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT YOU ALL DO AND THE MANY WAYS THAT YOU SUPPORT OUR ADR PARTNERS
YOU ARE A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR EVEN OTHER PROGRAMS AND OTHER IDEAS AT THE PORT OF SEATTLE
AND SO JUST WANT TO JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT WORK THAT YOU DO
WITH THAT SAID, WE DO HAVE THE MOTION AND THE SECOND
CLERK HART, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL FOR THE VOTE
COMMISSIONERS, PLEASE SAY I OR NAY WHEN YOUR NAMES ARE CALLED
THANK YOU
FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM 10A, BEGINNING WITH COMMISSIONER CHO
I THANK YOU
COMMISSIONER HASEGAWA
I THANK YOU
AND COMMISSIONER MUHAMMAD, I THANK YOU
THREE AYES, ZERO NAYS FOR THAT ITEM
WONDERFUL
THE MOTION PASSES
CLERK HART, PLEASE READ THE NEXT ITEM INTO THE RECORD
THAT IS ITEM 10B
AND THEN DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GOON WILL THEN INTRODUCE THE ITEM
THANK YOU
THIS IS ITEM 10B
AUTHORIZATION FOR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO ADVERTISE AND EXECUTE A SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR DESIGN AND ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE AIRFIELD CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WITH THE COMBINED VALUE NOT TO EXCEED $28 MILLION
TO AUTHORIZE DESIGN AND PREPARATION OF CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR THE 2026-2030 AIRFIELD PROGRAM AT THE SEATTLE TACOMA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
TO PROCURE LONG LEAD MATERIAL ITEMS TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENTS WITH THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION AND OR OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES FOR THE EVALUATION OF IMPACTS, PROTECTION AND OR RELOCATION OF UTILITIES AND PERFORMANCE OF FLIGHT CHECKS AND TO APPROVE THE USE OF A PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT FOR EACH YEAR'S CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR A TOTAL REQUEST IN THE AMOUNT OF $71 MILLION OF A TOTAL ESTIMATED PROGRAM COST OF $400 MILLION
COMMISSIONERS, THESE MULTI YEAR PROGRAMS CONTINUE TO ENSURE AIRFIELD PAVEMENT AND UTILITY ASSETS ARE MANAGED IN A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FASHION
MAINTAINING THIS INFRASTRUCTURE IS CRITICAL AND ESSENTIAL FOR AIRPORT OPERATIONS
TODAY'S REQUEST FOR DESIGN AND ENGINEERING SERVICES IS THE FIRST STEP IN DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEXT FIVE YEAR PROGRAM
LATER THIS YEAR WE WILL REQUEST CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATION FOR THE LAST PHASE OF THE PREVIOUS PROGRAM
NEXT YEAR WE WILL REQUEST CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATION FOR THE FIRST PHASE IN THE NEW PROGRAM
I WANT TO GIVE SPECIAL THANKS TO THE GREAT WORK OF THE AVIATION FINANCE TEAM WHO HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL IN SECURING FEDERAL GRANTS FOR THESE PROJECTS
WITH US TODAY IS ROBERT KOKILIS, AIRPORT OPERATIONS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, AIRFIELD OPERATIONS AND MIN CHI WU, CAPITAL PROGRAMS LEADER, AV PROJECT MANAGEMENT
THANK YOU, DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GOON AND COMMISSIONERS
AGAIN, I'M ROB KIKILES, AIRFIELD OPERATIONS MANAGER AT THE AIRPORT
AND IF WE GO TO THE FIRST, THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE
I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE A VERY HIGH OVERVIEW AND THEN LET MUNSHI AND EZE TAKE IT AWAY FROM THERE
SO WE ARE ASKING FOR $71 MILLION IN ESSENCE FOR THE DESIGN OF THE NEXT FIVE YEAR AIR FUEL PROGRAM
THE 2026 SECURITY PROGRAM, WHICH REALLY CONSISTS OR CAN BE BROKEN DOWN INTO TWO BIG CATEGORIES
ONE IS REGULATORY
MAKING SURE WE MEET ALL THE FAA REGULATIONS, BUT ALSO IS RENEWAL REPLACEMENT OF OLD AND UNDERSIZED UTILITIES THAT ARE FAILING HERE ON THE AIRFIELD AS THINGS CONTINUE TO AGE
REALLY, THE WHOLE PROGRAM CAN BE BOILED DOWN TO ONE WORD AND THAT'S SAFETY
FAILING UTILITIES DO NOT LEAD TO A SAFE AIRFIELD
AND CERTAINLY NOT MEETING FA REQUIREMENTS FOR REGULATORY SYSTEMS ALSO DOES NOT LEAD TO A SAFE AIRFIELD
SO WE ALWAYS WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ON TOP OF THOSE AND EVEN EXCEEDING THOSE
SO IT'S REALLY A SAFETY EFFORT THE NEXT FIVE YEAR PROGRAM AND WITH THAT I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MUNSHI
I THINK IS NEXT AND THEN EZE
THANK YOU ROB GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS
GOOD AFTERNOON DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GOON
MY NAME IS MONCHI WU
TOGETHER WITH ME IS EZE DUAGUBA AND WE ARE WITH OUR AVIATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT GROUP AS ROB INTRODUCED OUR AGENDA ITEM TODAY IS FOR 2026 THROUGH 2030 AIRFIELD PROGRAM
WE ARE REQUESTING FOR AUTHORIZATION FOR FOOD DESIGN ADVERTISEMENT AND EXECUTION OF DESIGN ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACTS TO SUPPORT THE PROGRAM, PROCUREMENT OF LONG LIT MATERIALS, ENTERING TO AGREEMENTS WITH THE FAA AND OR OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES AS REQUIRED, AND ALSO INCLUSION OF PLA FOR EACH YEAR'S CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
AS ROB MENTIONED EARLIER, THE 2026 THROUGH 2030 PROGRAM IS A CONTINUATION OF THE CURRENT FIVE YEAR PROGRAM TO RENEW AND REPLACE AGING AND FAILING AIRCRAFT, PAVEMENT UTILITIES AND SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE TO ENSURE SAFE AND EFFICIENT AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS AT SEA AND ALSO MEET SAA REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THANK YOU
THIS SLIDE LISTS THE MAIN SCOPE ITEMS FOR OUR NEXT FIVE YEAR PROGRAM
REPLACEMENT OF DISTRESSED LIGHTING CIRCUITS WITH LOW MEGA READING, REPLACEMENT OF AGING AIRFIELD PAVEMENT AND CRITICAL UTILITIES, REMOVAL OF TURF EDGE DAM, INSTALLATION OF ANTI PERCHING DEVICES AND PONDING MITIGATION FOR WILDLIFE HAZARD MANAGEMENT RUNWAY RENUMBERING FROM 1634 TO 1735 REPLACEMENT OF A TILTED WALL WITHIN THE RUNWAY 16 LEFT SAFETY AREA AND REPLACEMENT OF FLASH FIRE HYDRANT ACCESS HATCHES AROUND THE AIRFIELD
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF AGING PAVEMENT, UTILITIES AND SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE A PICTURE HERE TO SHOW THE TILTED WALL WITHIN THE RUNWAY, FIXED EXISTING LEFT SAFETY AREA AND ALSO SOME PHOTOS OF THE PONDING ISSUES THAT WE PLAN TO ADDRESS AS PART OF THIS NEXT FIVE YEAR PROGRAM
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THE FOLLOWING SEVERAL SLIDES PRESENT OVERVIEW FOR EACH YEAR'S PLANNED CONSTRUCTION SCOPE
A PRELIMINARY CONSTRUCTION SAVING PLAN WAS DEVELOPED MAINLY BASED ON LOCATION AND IMPACT
SCOPE ITEMS WITH OVERLAPPING WORK AREA AND IMPACTS ARE PLANNED TO BE COMBINED INTO SAME CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS TO MINIMIZE OPERATIONAL IMPACTS DURING CONSTRUCTION AS SHOWN HERE IN THIS SLIDE
IN 2026 THE PLAN IS TO COMPLETE ALL THE ASSOCIATED SCOPE ITEMS THAT ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE RUNWAY SAFETY AREA FOR RUNWAY 16 CENTER AS SHOWN HERE AS A BLUE BOX
TO UTILIZE THE RUNWAY CLOSURE, WE ALSO PLAN TO REPLACE A PORTION OF THE DISTRESSED LIGHTING CIRCUIT LOCATED AT TEXAS BRAVO AND ALSO SOME ASPHALT PAVEMENT REPLACEMENTS ALONG THE VEHICLE SERVICE ROAD AND ALSO AROUND THE CARGO AREAS
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SIMILAR IN 2027 WE'LL BE MOVING TO THE RUNWAY SAFETY AREA FOR 16 LEFT
THIS IS ALSO THE YEAR WE PLAN TO REPLACE THE TILT THAT'S LOCATED WITHIN THE RUNWAY SAFETY AREA OF 16 LEFT
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
IN 2028 WE'LL BE MOVING TO TAXIWAY TANGO
AGAIN, THE PLAN IS TO FINISH ALL THE ASSOCIATED SCOPE WITHIN THE OBJECT FREE AREA OF THIS TAXIWAY
THIS IS ALSO THE YEAR WE PLAN TO RENUMBER ALL THE RUNWAYS FROM 1634 TO 1735 PRIOR TO THE PLANNED PUBLICATION DATE BY THE FAA
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
IN 2029 WE'LL BE MOVING TO RUNWAY 16 RIGHT AND FINISH ALL THE ASSOCIATED SCOPE ITEMS NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
AND IN 2030 WE'LL BE MOVING OVER TO TAXIWAY BRAVO AND AGAIN FINISH ALL THE ASSOCIATED SCOPE ITEMS WITHIN THE OFA OF THIS TAXIWAY
THIS IS ALSO THE YEAR WE PLAN TO REPLACE ALL THE FAILING FLASH FIRE HYDRANTS THAT ARE LOCATED AROUND THE NORTH CONCOURSE AS HIGHLIGHTED HERE IN YELLOW AREA
WITH THAT, I WILL TURN OVER TO EZE TO SHARE PROGRAM SCHEDULE AND BUDGET
THANK YOU
MY NAME IS EZE AND
GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE TABLE AND AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THIS COMMISSION ASK INCLUDES DESIGN AUTHORIZATION FOR THE FULL FIVE YEAR PROGRAM
THE KEY MILESTONES FOR EACH YEAR, AS YOU CAN SEE, ARE SIMILAR
SO BEGINNING WITH THE DESIGN, WE'RE PLANNING TO START DESIGNING Q3 TWO YEARS PRIOR TO THE CONSTRUCTION YEAR
AND THEN WE'LL BE BACK TO REQUEST FOR COMMISSION AUTHORIZATION FOR CONSTRUCTION IN Q4, A YEAR PRIOR TO THE CONSTRUCTION YEAR AND THEN THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION YEAR WE'LL BE BACK
WE WILL START CONSTRUCTION IN Q1 AND COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION BY Q4, THE AREA TO USE
AND THEN THIS STEP WILL BE REPEATED THE FOLLOWING YEAR FOR THE ENTIRE FIVE YEAR PROGRAM
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO ON THIS SLIDE, AS MENTIONED EARLIER, WE ARE REQUESTING $71 MILLION FOR THE DESIGN AND MATERIAL PROCUREMENT
AND THEN THE CONSTRUCTION COST FOR THE PROGRAM IS 329 MILLION
AND THE OVERALL THE TOTAL PROGRAM COST IS 400 MILLION
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
AND THAT'S IT
THANK YOU
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND THAT INFORMATION
I WILL NOW OPEN IT UP FOR TO MY COLLEAGUES FOR ANY QUESTIONS TOWARDS THE STAFF
COMMISSIONER HUFFED OUT
WELL, EVEN
THANK YOU
SO EVEN THOUGH THIS IS FOR A FEW YEARS FROM NOW, THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A STAMP PROJECT
YEP, THAT IS CORRECT
THAT IS CORRECT
NO SAMP WORK
CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN PLEASE? I SAID NO SAMPLE WORK
WE'RE NOT DOING ANY SAMPLE PROJECTS
OKAY
AND IS IT THAT THE PRE DESIGN PHASE AND THE PRECONSTRUCTION PHASE IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A PART OF THE SAMP SCOPE OR THAT THIS ENTIRE PROJECT IS NOT IN THE SCOPE OF SAM? NONE OF THIS WORK IS RELATED TO SAM
THIS IS ALL EITHER REGULATORY THINGS WE NEED TO DO TO KEEP UP WITH FAA REGULATIONS OR RENEWAL, REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
OKAY
I THINK THERE'S IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND WHAT FALLS UNDER THE PURVIEW AND WHAT DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE PURVIEW STAMP
IT'S NOT JUST PROJECTS OF A CERTAIN SIZE AND A CERTAIN TIMELINE
AND THOSE ARE IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS
SO THAT MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOUR TEAM, BUT IT IS FOR, I THINK, OUR EXTERNAL RELATIONS TEAM, BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE BEING TRANSPARENT AND EDUCATING THE PUBLIC TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY ABOUT SUPPORT OPERATIONS AND THE UPCOMING
SAM
OKAY, THANK YOU
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS
THANK YOU
COMMISSIONER HASEGAWA, COMMISSIONER CHILL
YEAH, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION TEAM
REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO TO KEEP OUR AIRPORT IN TIP TOP SHAPE
YOU KNOW, GIVEN THAT THIS PROJECT IS ONE THAT IS REQUIRED FROM A COMPLIANCE STANDPOINT, ARE WE ABLE TO OR EXPECTING ANY FEDERAL ASSISTANCE FROM A FINANCING STANDPOINT ON THIS PROJECT? YES, COMMISSIONER CHO, WE DO EXPECT OR ANTICIPATE 40 MILLION ENTITLEMENT FUNDS FROM THE FAA ALSO WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL DISCRETIONARY FUNDS THROUGHOUT THE FIVE YEAR TERM
GREAT, THANKS
THANK YOU
COMMISSIONER CHO, I ALSO HAD JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS REGARDING IN THE MEMO THAT YOU PRESENTED, THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES THAT HAVE BEEN SHARED AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY CLEAR THAT THIS PROJECT NEEDS TO MOVE FORWARD IN ENSURING THAT WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE
BUT I WANTED TO KNOW, SO IF WE DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD, WHAT ARE THE FAA GRANTS ALLOCATED WITH THIS PROGRAM? THAT WOULD BE LOST
SO I'LL START WITH SHARING SOMETHING FROM THE PAVEMENT PERSPECTIVE
SO AS ROB SHARED EARLIER, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PAVEMENT SCOPE INCLUDED IN THIS NEXT FIVE YEAR PROGRAM ARE THE HIGHEST PRIORITY AREAS AND WHICH WAS ALSO IDENTIFIED BASED ON OUR ANNUAL PAVEMENT INSPECTION AS REQUIRED BY THE FAA, WHICH WE CALL THE AIRFIELD PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
AND WE DO NEED TO FOLLOW THAT PROGRAM TO ENSURE ACTUALLY RECEIVING GRANTS FOR ANY OF OUR AIRPORT PROJECTS
SO IF WE ARE NOT REPLACING THE PAVEMENT SCOPE THAT'S IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THIS FIVE YEAR PROGRAM
SO THERE'S DEFINITELY A RISK FOR US TO NOT FOR US NOT TO GET ANY GRANTS FOR OUR AIRPORT PROJECTS
SO IT JEOPARDIZES ALL OF THE AIRPORT DOLLARS THAT WE WOULD GET UNDER THE FAA GRANT PROGRAMS AM I HEARING THAT CORRECT? YES, THAT'S CORRECT
OKAY, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND FOR THE INFORMATION THAT YOU SHARED SO FAR
AND I DON'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, BUT JUST WANT TO SAY, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT THAT SUPPORTS, YOU KNOW, THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF RUNNING OUR AIRPORT AND MAINTAINING IT AND ENSURING THAT IT'S FUNCTIONING WELL AND SAFELY, AND SO DO APPRECIATE YOU ALL BRINGING IT FORWARD
WITH THAT SAID, COMMISSIONERS, WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH A VOTE ON THIS ITEM, IS THERE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 10B? SECONDED

CLERK HART, PLEASE READ THE NEXT ITEM INTO THE RECORD AND THEN DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GOON WILL INTRODUCE THE ITEM
THANK YOU
THIS IS AGENDA ITEM 11A, THE 2025 CENTRAL SERVICES PRELIMINARY BUDGET AND PORT WIDE ROLL UP BRIEFING
COMMISSIONERS, FOLLOWING OUR BUDGET RETREAT EARLIER THIS YEAR, AN EXTENSIVE DISCOVERY DISCUSSION TODAY MARKS THE BEGINNING OF OUR DEPARTMENT AND DIVISION SPECIFIC PRESENTATIONS LEADING US TO THE FINAL CONSIDERATION OF THE PORT'S 2025 BUDGET
AS ALWAYS, OUR DECISIONS ARE ROOTED IN OUR MISSION AND VALUES
EFFECTIVELY OPERATING A VITAL AVIATION AND MARITIME GATEWAY, INVESTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE, ADVANCING COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, FOSTERING REGIONAL ECONOMIC AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT EQUITY AND SUPPORTING OUR WORKFORCE
THE POSITIVE NEWS IS THAT OUR BUSINESS LINES ARE PERFORMING WELL AND GROWING
HOWEVER, IN LIGHT OF ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL UNCERTAINTY, AND ALTHOUGH INFLATIONARY PRESSURES APPEAR TO BE NORMALIZING, WE MUST APPROACH NEW PROGRAMS, INVESTMENTS AND STAFFING DECISIONS WITH CAREFUL CONSIDERATION
TODAY'S PRESENTATION ON CENTRAL SERVICES PRELIMINARY BUDGET WILL ILLUSTRATE HOW WE AIM TO BALANCE THESE CHALLENGES WHILE REMAINING ALIGNED WITH OUR CORE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
WE HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF NEW BUDGET REQUESTS AND MADE THOUGHTFUL CHOICES ABOUT ADDING ITEMS BASED ON A NUMBER OF CONSIDERATIONS, INCLUDING REDUCING RISK, ENHANCING CAPABILITIES AND SUPPORTING INCREASED OPERATIONAL NEEDS, TO NAME A FEW
YOU WILL ALSO NOTICE THAT MANY OF OUR PRIORITIES ARE ALSO REFLECTED IN TODAY'S MATERIALS
YOU CAN EXPECT SIMILAR CONTENT RELATED TO YOUR BUDGET PRIORITIES AND SUBSEQUENT BRIEFINGS FROM THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, MARITIME AND AVIATION DIVISION BUDGETS AS APPROPRIATE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR METRUCK AND I LOOK FORWARD TO AN ENGAGING DISCUSSION AS WE REFINE THESE FIGURES IN PREPARATION FOR OUR FINAL REVIEW IN NOVEMBER
WITH US TODAY IS DAN THOMAS, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND MICHAEL TONG, DIRECTOR OF CORPORATE BUDGET, FINANCE AND BUDGET
THANK YOU
THANK YOU DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COON AND GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS
AND WE'LL ALSO BE JOINED BY KRISTA SADLER FROM ICT WHO WILL COVERING THE ICT, THE CORPORATE CIP AS WELL
SO WHY DON'T WE JUST JUMP IN? SO IF YOU COULD MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THIS IS JUST AN AGENDA FOR OUR PRESENTATION TODAY COVERING A NUMBER OF TOPICS
SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO THIS IS JUST A KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF OUR BUDGET TIMELINE WHICH IS PRETTY CONSISTENT YEAR OVER YEAR
AS YOU KNOW, WE PRETTY MUCH BEGIN OUR PROCESS IN THE SECOND QUARTER WITH SOME OF OUR PRELIMINARY PLANNING
AS WAS MENTIONED, WE DO START WE INCLUDE A COMMISSION BUDGET RETREAT
THIS WAS HELD IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR
AND THEN WE MOVE INTO THE A LOT OF THE BUDGET DEVELOPMENT WORK DURING THE SUMMER
AND NOW WE'RE MOVING INTO THE FORMAL BUDGET PRESENTATIONS AND BRIEFINGS STARTING TODAY WE WILL HAVE THE OPERATING BUDGET PRESENTATIONS BEGINNING ON OCTOBER 8TH, AVIATION AND MARITIME
AND THEN LATER THAT MONTH ON OCTOBER 22ND WE'LL COME BACK WITH A PRESENTATION ON THE TAX LEVY AND THE PLAN OF FINANCE
AND THEN OF COURSE AS WE MOVE INTO NOVEMBER, WE'LL BE TAKING FINAL ACTION ON THE BUDGET ON THE FINAL BUDGET FOR THE YEAR
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THIS IS JUST A VISUAL OF THE REALLY THE HIGH LEVEL STRATEGY TO THE BUDGET PROCESS
YOU'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE
IT REALLY JUST TAKES US FROM THE LONGER TERM CENTURY AGENDA SORT OF ASPIRATIONAL GOALS AND HOW THEY'RE TRANSLATED DOWN INTO MORE DETAILED VISION GOALS, COURSE SWOT ANALYSIS AND DRIVING THEM DOWN INTO THE MORE NEAR TERM OBJECTIVES AND KPIS THEN FORMING THE BASIS FOR INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS PLANS AND BUDGETS
JUST KIND OF A SCHEMATIC OF THAT OVERALL PROCESS THAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
GARY MENTIONED SOME OF THE DRIVERS AND CONSIDERATIONS
I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THESE, BUT I'LL MENTION JUST A FEW
MAINTAINING SUSTAINABLE EXPENSE GROWTH IS PRETTY KEY FOR US
YOU KNOW, AS WE AS WE CAME OUT OF THE PANDEMIC, WE HAD A COUPLE OF YEARS OF PRETTY SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE GROWTH AS WE ADDED BACK RESOURCES FROM THOSE SEVERAL YEARS OF VERY CONSTRAINED BUDGETS
SO WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE INTO A WORLD NOW WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP OUR EXPENSES ROUGHLY IN LINE WITH OUR REVENUE GROWTH
SO THAT MEANS TRYING TO KEEP OUR EXPENSES DOWN IN THE SINGLE DIGITS
AND I THINK WE'VE BEEN PRETTY SUCCESSFUL IN DOING THAT THIS YEAR, OBVIOUSLY INVESTING IN OUR WORKFORCE
AND AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT HR HAS GOT THE COMPENSATION PROJECT WORK THAT'S BEEN UNDERWAY FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF OR SO
I THINK WHAT YOU'LL SEE AS WE DISCUSS THIS BUDGET TODAY, WE ARE NOW MAKING ESTIMATED IMPACTS AND HAVE INCORPORATED IMPACTS FROM THE PAY EQUITY PIECE WHICH IS THE FINAL COMPONENT OF THE COMPENSATION PROJECT
AND YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THAT BUILT INTO THIS COMING BUDGET
OF COURSE COMMISSION PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT, VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET REFLECTED IN OUR UPCOMING BUDGET
AND THEN I'LL REALLY HIGHLIGHT FOCUS ON RESILIENCY
AND BOY ARE WE FOCUSING ON RESILIENCY RIGHT NOW
OBVIOUSLY WITH OUR RECENT CYBER EVENT AND A LOT OF LESSONS LEARNED AS WE FOCUS ON RECOVERY AND RESTORATION OF OUR IT SYSTEMS FOLLOWING THAT EVENT
SO REALLY A LOT OF THESE HAVE COME TO FRUITION AS WE HAVE BUILT OUR BUDGETS FOR NEXT YEAR
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
ACTUALLY, IF YOU CAN GO TWO SLIDES AHEAD
SO JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE CENTRAL SERVICES DEPARTMENTS
THE CENTRAL SERVICES DEPARTMENTS PROVIDE A LARGE NUMBER OF REALLY ESSENTIAL SERVICES BOTH TO THE THREE OPERATING DIVISIONS AT THE PORT AS WELL AS FOR THE NORTHWEST SEAPORT ALLIANCE THROUGH SERVICE AGREEMENTS THAT WE EXECUTE EVERY YEAR AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS
AND THE DEPARTMENTS, THE CENTRAL SERVICES ARE VITAL TO THE NOT ONLY THE SUCCESS OF THE OPERATING DIVISIONS AND THE ALLIANCE, BUT ALSO TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
PROVIDE A LOT OF SERVICES TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
THERE ARE 20 DEPARTMENTS IN CENTRAL SERVICES, INCLUDING MANY OF OUR TRADITIONAL SORT OF ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS, BUT ALSO NON TRADITIONAL FUNCTIONS LIKE POLICE, OF COURSE, ENGINEERING AND PORT CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, TO NAME A FEW
AND THEN THE CENTRAL SERVICES EXPENSES THEN GET ALLOCATED OUT TO THE OPERATING DIVISIONS AND ALSO TO THE NORTHWEST SEAPORT ALLIANCES OR IN SOME CASES THEIR COSTS ARE FUNDED BY THE SACS LEVY, PARTICULARLY FOR MANY OF THE COMMUNITY PROGRAMS THAT WE'LL BE DISCUSSING LATER IN THE PRESENTATION
I DO WANT TO POINT OUT, HOWEVER, THAT THIS YEAR, BECAUSE OF THE CYBER EVENT AND THE FACT THAT OUR PEOPLESOFT FINANCIAL SYSTEM IS DOWN, WE NORMALLY USE THAT SYSTEM TO ACTUALLY RUN THE ALLOCATIONS IN A VERY DETAILED FASHION OUT TO THE OPERATING DIVISIONS
AND WITH THAT SYSTEM DOWN, IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN OUR SCHEDULE, WE HAVE HAD TO PURSUE A BACKUP STRATEGY IN ORDER TO DO THOSE ALLOCATIONS
AND IT'S ESSENTIALLY AN ESTIMATE OF THE ALLOCATIONS BASED ON SOME HISTORICAL INFORMATION AND SOME OTHER ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE SO THAT WHEN, WHEN THE DIVISIONS PRESENT THEIR BUDGETS IN OCTOBER, THOSE CORPORATE OR CENTRAL SERVICES ALLOCATIONS WILL NOT BE 100% ACCURATE THE WAY WE NORMALLY DO IT
THEY'RE GOING TO BE BASED ON ESTIMATES
AND WE ARE HOPING THAT OUR PEOPLESOFT SYSTEM WILL BE UP AND OPERATIONAL IN TIME FOR BEING ABLE TO ACTUALLY RUN THEM THE NORMAL WAY AND HAVE THAT DONE IN TIME FOR THE FINAL BUDGET OR APPROVAL IN NOVEMBER WITH THE MORE ACCURATE ESTIMATES OR ACCURATE CALCULATIONS OF THOSE ALLOCATIONS
AND IT ALSO HOLDS TRUE FOR THE NUMBERS THAT WE HAD TO PROVIDE FOR THE SEAPORT ALLIANCE
WE HAD TO BASE THOSE ON ESTIMATES OF HOW WE DISTRIBUTE THOSE COSTS TO THE SEAPORT ALLIANCE
SO WE RECOGNIZE THAT THAT'S IMPERFECT, BUT IT'S THE BEST WAY
IT'S REALLY THE BEST ALTERNATIVE WE HAD GIVEN THE FACT THAT OUR PEOPLESOFT SYSTEM SYSTEM IS DOWN CURRENTLY
AND WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE THAT BACK UP HOPEFULLY WITH WITHIN THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A FIRM DATE ON THAT YET
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO JUST TO GIVE YOU A KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF HOW WE ACTUALLY GO ABOUT BUILDING OUR BUDGET
AND I REALLY WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT WE KIND OF USE A MODIFIED ZERO BASED BUDGET APPROACH
SO WE DON'T JUST START WITH THE 2024 BUDGET AND THEN JUST ADD TO IT EVERY YEAR
SO IT JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST BUILDS IN EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THE BASIN
WE JUST ADD TO THAT YEAR AFTER YEAR
SO WHAT WE DO IS WE START WITH THE 2024 BUDGET, THEN WE MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS
SO FIRST AND FOREMOST WE ACTUALLY GO THROUGH ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE 24 BUDGET THOUGH REALLY WERE JUST ONE TIME ITEMS AND THAT SHOULDN'T BE CARRIED FORWARD INTO FUTURE YEARS
SO WE ADJUST THOSE OUT
WE HAVE A VERY THOROUGH PROCESS TO ADJUST OUT THOSE ONE TIME ITEMS AND WE ALSO HAVE TO ADJUST AND ANNUALIZE FOR ANY NEW FTES THAT WERE ADDED THIS YEAR AS PART OF THE PROCESS THAT WE WENT THROUGH LAST YEAR
SO TYPICALLY NEW FTES DON'T START IN JANUARY, THEY START AT DIFFERENT TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
SO WE HAVE TO THREW THEM UP FOR A FULL YEAR
SO WE ANNUALIZE THEM AS WELL AS ANY APPROVALS THAT WERE MADE DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR, WE HAVE TO ANNUALIZE THOSE AND THEN WE HAVE TO ADJUST FOR ANY NON DISCRETIONARY CONTRACTUAL INCREASES
SO IF WE HAVE EXISTING CONTRACTS AND AS YOU KNOW, WITH INFLATION, CONTRACTS TYPICALLY GO UP YEAR AFTER YEAR, WE HAVE TO ADJUST FOR THOSE AND THEN A NEW ONE THIS YEAR THAT WE'VE INCORPORATED UNDER NEW ACCOUNTING RULES WE CALL OUT HERE GASB96
THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE TO HOW WE TREAT CERTAIN SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE OR THE ACRONYM SAS
AND THESE ARE TYPICALLY CLOUD BASED SOFTWARE SYSTEMS WHERE YOU PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION TO THOSE SYSTEMS AND IN THE PAST WE EXPENSED THOSE SYSTEMS EVERY YEAR
BUT UNDER THE ACCOUNTING RULE CHANGE, WE NOW ESSENTIALLY CAPITALIZE THOSE COSTS SO THEY NO LONGER APPEAR IN OUR OPERATING BUDGET
SO THAT ACTUALLY PROVIDES US WITH SOME SAVINGS BECAUSE THEY COME OUT OF THE OPERATING BUDGET, NO LONGER TREAT IT AS EXPENSE, BUT THEN THEY GET CAPITALIZED AND THEN DEPRECIATED
SO WE'VE ADJUSTED FOR THAT
AND THEN OF COURSE WE HAVE TO ADD IN OUR PAYROLL INCREASE ASSUMPTIONS
SO FOR THE PAY ADJUSTMENTS AS WELL AS INCREASE IN HEALTHCARE COSTS ALSO GET ADJUSTED IN
SO THOSE ARE SORT OF THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE MAKE ON TOP OF IT, STARTING WITH THE BASELINE
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO LOOKING AT SOME OF THE KEY BASELINE BUDGET DRIVERS THAT WE'VE INCORPORATED INTO THE 2025 BUDGET, SO IN THE FIRST CATEGORY OF REALLY WORKFORCE INVESTMENTS, SO WE'VE ADDED IN AN ASSUMPTION OF A 5% AVERAGE NON REPRESENTED PAY INCREASE FOR NEXT YEAR
AND THEN FOR OUR, NOT FOR OUR REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES, THOSE PAY INCREASES WILL BE BASED ON THE NEGOTIATED CONTRACTS THAT THEY COME UP WITH NEGOTIATING WITH THE LABOR RELATIONS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT
WE'VE ALSO INCORPORATED AN INCREASE OF ABOUT 6.6% OF AN INCREASE IN OUR PORT SPONSORED HEALTHCARE BENEFIT PLANS
SO THAT'S BEEN BUILT INTO OUR PAYROLL ASSUMPTIONS FOR NEXT YEAR
AND THEN FOR OTHER PAYROLL INCREASES, I'VE MENTIONED THAT WE HAVE TO ANNUALIZE THE PAYROLL OF ANY NEW FTES THAT WERE ADDED THIS YEAR
WE'VE GOT TO ANNUALIZE THEM ON A FULL YEAR BASIS
WE'VE ANNUALIZED THE PAYROLL OF
THERE WAS ONE MID YEAR APPROVAL FOR AN FTE ADDED THIS YEAR
ACTUALLY IT WASN'T A NEW FTE, IT WAS A TRANSFER FROM AVIATION
BUT WE'VE HAD TO ANNUALIZE THAT AMOUNT AS WELL
AND THEN I MENTIONED SOME OF THESE NON DISCRETIONARY CONTRACTUAL INCREASES LIKE THE ACCOUNTING RULE CHANGE WHERE WE'VE CAPITALIZED SOME OF THOSE SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE AGREEMENTS AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF CASES WHERE WE HAVE ANNUAL CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS WHERE COSTS HAVE JUST GONE UP
MOST NOTABLY IN OUR PROPERTY INSURANCE CONTRACTS
WE'VE HAD SOME INCREASES THERE AS WELL AS ICT TYPICALLY INCURS SOME INCREASES IN SOFTWARE LICENSE AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS OFTEN GO UP YEAR OVER YEAR
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO THIS IS JUST A HIGH LEVEL SNAPSHOT OF THE SORT OF THE BOTTOM LINE UPFRONT IF YOU WILL, OF WHAT THE CENTRAL SERVICES PROPOSED BUDGET WILL BE FOR NEXT YEAR
THE OPERATING EXPENSE IS $195 MILLION FOR 2025 AND THAT REPRESENTS A $14.1 MILLION INCREASE OR 7.8% HIGHER COMPARED TO THE 2024 BUDGET
AND AGAIN THAT REFLECTS THE ADJUSTED BASELINE THAT I DESCRIBED AND THEN THE NEW ADDITIONS THAT WE'LL GET INTO IN THE COMING SLIDES WHICH INCLUDE 34 NEW FTES PLUS $3.1 MILLION FOR THE EQUITY PAY ADJUSTMENTS
AS I MENTIONED, WE'RE TRYING TO INCORPORATE THE COMP PROJECT IMPACTS AND THAT DOES INCLUDE $3.1 MILLION THAT WE'VE ADDED TO NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET TO ACCOMMODATE THE EQUITY PAY ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE EXPECTED TO BE FINALIZED LATER THIS YEAR
BUT THAT'S THE IMPACT IN 2025 OF THOSE ADJUSTMENTS
SO GARY HAD MENTIONED ALSO AS WE LOOKED AT SORT OF OUR CRITERIA FOR ADDING NEW RESOURCES IN 2025 AND SOME OF THOSE KEY CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDE, AS SHE MENTIONED, RISK REDUCTION, HOW CAN WE MITIGATE RISKS, CLEARLY IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO INCREASE OR ENHANCE THE CAPABILITIES OF OUR STAFF OR PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS IN A NUMBER OF CASES
THERE ARE NEW INITIATIVES THAT WE'RE PURSUING NEAR AND DEAR TO YOUR OWN HEARTS COMMISSION PRIORITIES AND WE WILL BE HIGHLIGHTING THOSE THROUGHOUT THIS PRESENTATION AND IF WE HAPPEN TO MISS ANY, PLEASE LET US KNOW
SO WE MAKE SURE WE COVER THEM
AND THEN JUST GENERALLY AS OUR BUSINESSES GROW, INCREASED OPERATIONAL NEEDS, WHETHER IT'S FORECASTED BUSINESS ACTIVITY OR AS YOU KNOW, WITH OUR GROWING CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAM, INCREASED CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY IS DRAWING THE NEED FOR INCREASED RESOURCES
AND OF COURSE JUST GENERAL COST INCREASES, INFLATIONARY COST INCREASES ARE SOME OF THE KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR NEW RESOURCES OR INCREASED RESOURCES
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO THIS IS JUST KIND OF A HELPFUL VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF THE SO CALLED WATERFALL CHART WHICH STARTS AT THE TOP WITH OUR EXISTING 2024 BUDGET OF 180.9 MILLION
AND THEN LINE BY LINE WE KIND OF ILLUSTRATE THE INCREASES AND DECREASES OF HOW WE GET FROM THERE TO OUR CURRENT BUDGET
SO IF YOU CAN, WE CAN WALK DOWN THROUGH THE LINES
SO STARTING WITH THE 24 BUDGET, WE REMOVE SOME OF THOSE ONE TIME ITEMS AND JUST BY THE WAY, THERE ARE DETAILED SLIDES IN THE APPENDIX THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS ALL THE DETAILS FOR THESE IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT SPECIFICALLY WHAT CAME OUT AND WHAT GOT ADDED OR ADJUSTED
SO WE TAKE OUT THOSE ONE TIME ITEMS, WE ADD IN THE MIDYEAR APPROVALS, WHICH AGAIN, WHICH REALLY WERE PRETTY MINOR
WE HAD THOSE CONTRACTUAL INCREASES THAT WE REALLY HAVE LITTLE CONTROL OVER AND THEN WE REDUCED IT BY THOSE OTHER ADJUSTMENTS, WHICH I MENTIONED IS PRIMARILY THAT ACCOUNTING RULE CHANGE THAT CAPITALIZES SOME OF THOSE SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE AGREEMENTS
SO THAT GIVES US THIS ADJUSTED BASELINE WHICH YOU'LL NOTICE IS ACTUALLY LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL 2024 BUDGET BY ORDER OF MAGNITUDE A LITTLE OVER $4 MILLION
AND THEN WE HAVE TO ADD BACK SOME OF THESE ADJUSTMENTS
SO NON PAYROLL INCREASES AGAINST SOME CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS, ADD OUR PAYROLL INCREASE, AS I MENTIONED, ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT PAY INCREASES AND HEALTH BENEFIT INCREASES HERE ALSO AS I MENTIONED, OUR ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT EQUITY PAY
SO WE'VE ADDED, AND THESE ARE JUST ESTIMATES THAT WE'VE GOTTEN FROM HR, AN ADDITIONAL $3 MILLION NEXT YEAR TO COVER THE EQUITY PAY ADJUSTMENTS
AND THAT'S ON TOP OF $2 MILLION THAT WE BUDGETED THIS YEAR FOR EQUITY PAY ADJUSTMENTS
AND AGAIN WE'LL HAVE GREATER CERTAINTY ON THOSE LATER THIS YEAR WHEN THEY FINALIZE THIS EQUITY PAY, THIS LAST PHASE OF THE COMP PROJECT LATER THIS YEAR
AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST ARE THE NEW BUDGET REQUESTS WHICH WE WILL BE PROVIDING MORE INFORMATION IN THE COMING SLIDES FOR THE NEW FTES AND OTHER BUDGET ADS OF 7.3 MILLION
SO THAT'S WHAT GETS US TO THE 2025 PROPOSED BUDGET OF 195 MILLION
SO THIS IS JUST MORE OF A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF HOW WE GET THERE
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO THIS JUST HIGHLIGHTS SORT OF WHAT WAS THE REQUESTED BUDGET REQUESTS BOTH IN TERMS OF FTES, TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT AND WHAT WAS APPROVED
AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE CHART ON THE LEFT, WE HAD 76 TOTAL NEW BUDGET REQUESTS
SO QUITE A FEW WE DID APPROVE WITH A CROSS FUNCTIONAL TEAM THAT INCLUDED PARTICIPATION BY THE OPERATIONAL DIVISIONS
WE DID APPROVE 57 OF THOSE 76 REQUESTS
THEN IT FURTHER BREAKS IT OUT BETWEEN THE O AND M AMOUNT PAYROLL VERSUS NON PAYROLL
BUT THEN AT THE VERY BOTTOM WE ALSO HIGHLIGHT THAT THERE WERE 40 NEW FTES REQUESTED AND OF THOSE, 34 FTES WERE ULTIMATELY APPROVED
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THIS CHART JUST PROVIDES A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF ALL THE NEW REQUESTS BY DEPARTMENT
YOU CAN SEE WHICH DEPARTMENTS HAD THE LARGEST NUMBER OF REQUESTS
I WON'T GO THROUGH THIS IN DETAIL, BUT THE NEXT FEW SLIDES WE ACTUALLY HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE MAJOR NEW BUDGET REQUESTS SO YOU'LL GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT'S BEHIND SOME OF THE SELECTED BUDGET REQUESTS
AND ALSO THERE IS FULL DETAIL IN THE APPENDIX ON ALL OF THE BUDGET REQUESTS BROKEN OUT AND SLICED AND DICED IN DIFFERENT WAYS BY DIFFERENT CATEGORIES
SO WE HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION IN THE APPENDIX IF YOU WANT TO GO INTO MORE DETAIL
BUT THE NEXT FEW SLIDES I'M GOING TO COVER JUST HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE WHAT WE CONSIDER AS THE KEY BUDGET ADDITIONS
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO GETTING INTO SOME OF THE KEY MAJOR BUDGET ADDITIONS
SO STARTING WITH POLICE AND CHIEF VIA AND AYE
TEAM, THEY'RE GOING TO BE PROVIDING A PUBLIC SAFETY POLICE DEPARTMENT BRIEFING FOLLOWING THIS ONE
SO HE CAN GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ON SOME OF THIS
BUT I THINK FIRST AND FOREMOST I WANTED TO MENTION THAT AS PART OF THIS NEW BUDGET THEY ARE PROPOSING A REORGANIZATION FOR AYE
DEPARTMENT WHICH INCLUDES A NUMBER OF FACTORS
PROBABLY THE BIGGEST ONE INCLUDES THE CREATION OF A NEW THIRD BUREAU FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHICH WOULD BUILD UPON THEIR EXISTING OPERATION AND SERVICES BUREAU AND WOULD CREATE A NEW SPECIAL OPERATIONS BUREAU
AND THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE MOVING SOME OF THE EXISTING UNITS INTO THAT BUREAU AS WELL AS THE CREATION OF A NEW HOMELAND SECURITY DIVISION, EMERGENCY SERVICES UNIT
THERE WOULD BE A NEW DEPUTY CHIEF THAT WOULD OVERSEE THIS BUREAU AND THE INTENT HERE IS TO REALLY FOLLOW BEST PRACTICES TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE EMERGING THREATS IN CIVIL AVIATION
I THINK THIS BUREAU WOULD ACTUALLY BE ABOUT 8 FTES THAT WOULD NEW FTES THAT WOULD BE PART OF THAT BUREAU AS WELL AS AGAIN MOVING SOME OF THE EXISTING UNITS INTO THAT
AND CHIEF FIA WILL I BELIEVE BE TALKING A LITTLE BIT MORE AND GOING TO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL INTO AYE
THINKING BEHIND THAT
SO THAT IS PART OF A NEW REORG THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING AS PART OF NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
THEY ARE ALSO PROPOSING TWO NEW COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALISTS IN THE 911 CENTER, REALLY JUST TO KEEP UP WITH THE GROWING WORKLOAD THERE
I THINK THEY'VE HAD LIKE A 30% INCREASE IN VOLUME IN THAT FOR DISPATCH
SO THEY'RE REALLY THINKING THEY NEED MORE COVERAGE THERE
SO THEY'RE PROPOSING TWO NEW FTES IN THE COMMUNICATIONS CENTER AND THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING AN ADDITIONAL POLICE SPECIALIST THAT WOULD HELP THEM MEET THE GROWING NEEDS FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE REQUESTS, PARTICULARLY AROUND THE FOOTAGE FROM THE BODY WORN CAMERAS THAT THEY'RE HAVING A HARD TIME KEEPING UP WITH
SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE KEY FDE ADDITIONS THEY'RE PROPOSING
THEN SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR FIREARMS ENHANCEMENTS AND TRAINING THAT THEY THINK WILL ENHANCE SAFETY IN THE DEPARTMENT AND THEN ALSO SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO CATCH UP
THEY FEEL THEY'VE BEEN UNDERFUNDED IN TERMS OF FULLY FUNDING SOME OF THE NEEDS THEY HAVE WITH THE K9 UNIT
AND A LOT OF THAT IS SIMPLY RENEWAL AND REPLACEMENT FOR EXISTING EQUIPMENT FOR THE K9 UNIT AND MOVING INTO THE OFFICE OF EQUITY DIVERSITY INCLUSION
AND A LOT OF THESE REALLY DO ALIGN WITH COMMISSION PRIORITIES
$750,000 INVESTMENT IN YOUTH MARITIME CAREER LAUNCH PROGRAM
AS YOU KNOW, THAT PROGRAM IS ACTUALLY SCHEDULED TO SUNSET BY THE END OF THIS YEAR BASED ON THE ORIGINAL COMMISSION DIRECTIVE
SO I BELIEVE THEY'RE COMING BACK NEXT MONTH FOR A REQUEST TO EXTEND THAT PROGRAM
SO THIS FUNDING WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR THAT PROGRAM IN 2025
AND THEN ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR A NEW POSITION IN FDE, THE CIVIL RIGHTS PROGRAM MANAGER, WHICH WOULD SUPPORT COMPLIANCE FOR TITLE 6 OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT
AND THIS POSITION WOULD WORK CLOSELY WITH THE AIRPORT TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE
SO THAT'S ANOTHER ONE THAT'S ALIGNED WITH COMMISSION PRIORITIES
I KNOW ALSO, AS YOU KNOW, THE LANGUAGE ACCESS PROGRAM IS POISED FOR ROLLOUT MORE FULLY NEXT YEAR
SO $100,000 HAS BEEN BUDGETED TO SUPPORT THAT PROGRAM
AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS $100,000 FOR THE THE I BEST PILOT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND PARTNERSHIP FOR THE BASIC EDUCATION AND SKILLS TRAINING FOR UNDERSERVED YOUTH
SO MONEY HAS BEEN BUDGETED FOR THAT PROGRAM IN OEDI AS WELL
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
LOOKING AT EXTERNAL RELATIONS, A NUMBER OF KEY PRIORITIES THERE FOR THE COMMISSION AS WELL
ON THE DWELLINGS VALLEY COMMUNITY EQUITY PROGRAM, TWO BIG COMPONENTS HERE
ONE WOULD BE THE FUNDING OF A NEW FTE, A SENIOR PROGRAM MANAGER FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH TO AUGMENT THE STAFF THAT REALLY THE WORKLOAD HAS GROWN AND THEY REALLY FEEL THEY NEED ANOTHER FTE TO SUPPORT THAT WORK, THAT COMMUNITY OUTREACH
AND THEY ALSO HAVE PUT IN SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO SUPPORT DIRECT COMPENSATION FOR THE COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS NOW WHO ARE PARTICIPATING ON THE PORT COMMUNITY ACTION TEAM
AND THEY'VE LEARNED THAT WE REALLY NEED TO, I GUESS THEY'VE GOT SOME GUIDANCE FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT SECURITY THAT WE NEED TO COMPENSATE THEM DIRECTLY, NOT THROUGH A CONSULTANT
SO THEY'RE FUNDING DIRECT COMPENSATION FOR THOSE TEAM MEMBERS
ADDITIONAL FUNDING 125,000 FOR THE SOUTH KING COUNTY COMMUNITY IMPACT FUND FOR A CAPACITY BUILDING
THIS WOULD BE PART OF A THREE YEAR CONTRACT
THIS WOULD COME OUT OF THE COMMUNITY THAT THE SOUTH KING COUNTY COMMUNITY IMPACT FUND, CONTINUATION OF THAT PROGRAM
ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE SEA COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING RELATED TO THE CAPITAL PROGRAM, THE UPGRADE SEA PROGRAM, VERY IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE TO BUILD COMMUNITY SUPPORT, SUPPORT FOR THE CAPITAL PROGRAM AT THE AIRPORT AND THE IMPORTANCE OF SEA TO THE COMMUNITY AS WE PURSUE GROWTH IN OUR INFRASTRUCTURE OUT THERE
AND THEN SOME MODEST FUNDING FOR CONTINUATION OF STATE AND FEDERAL GRANT WRITING OPPORTUNITIES
THEY'VE BEEN WORKING WITH A CONTRACTOR
THEY STILL BELIEVE THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES OUT THERE TO PURSUE GRANT FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH A NUMBER OF THESE INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMS AND SO THEY WANT TO CONTINUE THAT PROGRAM AND HOPEFULLY THOSE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES WILL CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE HERE INTO THE NEAR FUTURE
AND THEN FINALLY SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR FISHERMEN'S TERMINAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH AROUND THEIR CAPITAL PROGRAMS, INCLUDING THE MARITIME INNOVATION CENTER AS SOME OTHER PUBLIC AMENITIES AND ART PROGRAMS AT FISHERMAN'S TERMINAL
THEY FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT TO DO A LOT OF OUTREACH AROUND THOSE PROGRAMS SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL BUDGET ADS FOR EXTERNAL RELATIONS ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY SIDE, SOME KEY PROGRAMS THERE, SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR RESEARCH AND PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION TO REDUCE SCOPE 3 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
SO THEY ARE ENVISIONING THIS AS PART OF A THREE YEAR PROGRAM THAT WOULD TARGET SCOPE THREE EMISSIONS
AND THIS FIRST PHASE FOR NEXT YEAR WOULD BE TARGETED AT GROUND TRANSPORTATION IN THE MARITIME AND AVIATION SECTORS
SO THEY WOULD BE DOING A LOT OF OUTREACH AND BUILDING PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON AGAIN, GROUND TRANSPORTATION FOR AVIATION AND MARITIME
LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S EMPLOYEE, EMPLOYEES, CUSTOMERS, TENANTS, THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND HOW THEY CAN PUSH FOR NEW KINDS OF OPTIONS RATHER THAN DRIVING OR ELECTRIFICATION TO REDUCE SCOPE THROUGH GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
AND THEN AGAIN, WHICH I KNOW IS A COMMISSION PRIORITY, IS ADDITIONAL FUNDING OR 300,000 TO PURSUE ADVOCACY AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL TO DEVELOP POLICIES TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF ZERO EMISSION MARITIME AND AVIATION FUELS
SO A VERY IMPORTANT INITIATIVE FOR THEM
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
NOW WE'VE GOT SOME INITIATIVES FOR ICT AND INFORMATION SECURITY
AND I WANT TO SORT OF SAY AT THE OUTSET OUR BUDGET REVIEW AND DECISIONS ABOUT FUNDING FOR THESE TWO DEPARTMENTS WERE DONE BEFORE THE CYBER INCIDENT
SO WE HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH BOTH OF THESE TEAMS AND GAVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY THAT IF, YOU KNOW, AS THEY'RE GATHERING INFORMATION AS PART OF THESE RESPONSE AND RECOVERY EFFORTS, IF THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY ANY ADDITIONAL NEEDS OR GAPS THAT THEY FEEL ARE IMPORTANT, THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO REVISIT THEIR BUDGETS AT THIS POINT AND WE WOULD BE WILLING TO ENTERTAIN ANY CHANGES TO THOSE
AND I THINK THEIR RESPONSE HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, THANKS, BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE SO ENGAGED RIGHT NOW WITH THE RESPONSE AND RECOVERY EFFORTS
WE REALLY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO REALLY SPEND ON AND REVISITING OUR BUDGETS AND COMING UP WITH NEW RESOURCES THAT WE MIGHT NEED
BUT WE HAVE ASSURED THEM THAT OUR PROCESSES ARE FLEXIBLE ENOUGH THAT SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD, IF AND WHEN THE DUST SETTLES AND THEY HAVE THE TIME TO SPEND AND TAKE A LOOK AT BASED ON SOME OF THEIR LESSONS LEARNED, IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES, WHETHER THEY'RE FTES, WHETHER THEY'RE SYSTEMS, WHETHER IT'S SOFTWARE OR SYSTEMS OR HARDWARE, WE ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO ENTERTAIN ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS IN THEIR SYSTEMS AND THEIR CAPABILITIES
AND THAT CAN BE DONE ANYTIME MID YEAR
STEVE HAS THE ABILITY TO ADD RESOURCES DURING THE YEAR, SO WE DIDN'T WANT THEM TO FEEL THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE GOING TO BE STUCK WITH JUST THE RESOURCES THAT THEY WERE APPROVED
SO WE JUST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE OF THAT
BUT THE RESOURCES THAT WERE APPROVED ICT HAD AN ADDITIONAL FDA APPROVED TO SUPPORT TO EXPAND ACTUALLY EXISTING RESOURCES FOCUSED ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING
THEY ACTUALLY HAVE HAD THAT RESOURCE AVAILABLE FOR SOME YEARS
THIS WILL AUGMENT THAT TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND THEIR EFFORTS AROUND AI AND MACHINE LEARNING
THEY'VE ALREADY COMPLETED A BUNCH OF PILOT PROJECTS AND MAKING GREAT PROGRESS
AND THEN ALSO THEY'LL BE FUNDING SOME ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE FROM MICROSOFT
THIS WILL ACTUALLY ROLL OUT THE SO CALLED COPILOT FOR OFFICE 365
THIS IS NEW EMBEDDED AI INTO THE OFFICE 365 APPS INCLUDING WORD AND EXCEL AND POWERPOINT
AND THIS WILL GIVE USERS THE ABILITY TO TAP INTO THOSE TOOLS TO CREATE CONTENT, TO ANALYZE CONTENT, TO DO BASICALLY TAP INTO THE CAPABILITIES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RIGHT DIRECTLY INTO THE OFFICE SUITE OF PROJECTS
UNFORTUNATELY, THEY'RE THINKING OF IT INITIALLY AS A KIND OF PILOT PROJECT
SO IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE ROLLED OUT TO ABOUT 10% OF PORT EMPLOYEES INITIALLY
AND DEPENDING ON HOW THAT GOES, THEY CAN EXPAND FROM THERE
YEAH, SORRY TO STOP YOU
CAN I ASK JUST A CLARIFYING QUESTION IN ADDITION TO THIS, WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FTES AS WELL, ARE YOU ARE WE EXPECTING NEW FTE REQUESTS TO COME FROM OUR CIT TEAM? CONSIDERING THE RECENT EVENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED, ARE THEY GOING TO MAKE ADDITIONAL REQUEST? WELL, AS I MENTIONED, THEY MAY
THEY DON'T HAVE THE BANDWIDTH RIGHT NOW TO REALLY SPEND THE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT
WE DID OFFER THAT UP, BUT I THINK WE ALL AGREED THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE DUST SETTLES ON THIS AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A MUCH CLEARER SENSE OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE LESSONS LEARNED AND WHERE WE MAY HAVE GAPS AND WHERE THERE MAY BE ADVANCED TOOLS AND IT MAY BE TOOLS OR SOFTWARE, BUT IT MAY BE FDA
AND WE'VE ASSURED THEM THAT IF AND WHEN THEY'VE HAD A CHANCE TO THINK SOME MORE ABOUT THAT, WE ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO ENTERTAIN
ADDING FTES AT ANY TIME DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS
WE CAN DO THAT MID YEAR IF WE NEED TO
THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL
THAT'S IMPORTANT
THANK YOU
AND THEN FINALLY TWO OTHER FTES THEY'LL BE ADDING ONE THAT WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TRAINING AND SUPPORT, SUPPORT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SOLUTIONS
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GREAT SYSTEMS COMING ONLINE
A LOT OF THESE SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE, A LOT OF THEM ARE MICROSOFT PLATFORMS, WHETHER IT'S SHAREPOINT OR POWERAPPS
AND USERS ARE HUNGRY TO LEARN AND TO BETTER LEVERAGE THESE TOOLS
SO BRINGING ON A SPECIALIZED RESOURCE THAT CAN HELP TRAIN AND, YOU KNOW, KIND OF DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS IN THESE SYSTEMS WILL PAY A LOT OF DIVIDENDS, I THINK, TO ALLOW US TO BETTER LEVERAGE THOSE
AND THEN FOR A WHILE THEY REALLY FELT THEY NEEDED SOME MORE HORSEPOWER ON THE
ON THE PEOPLESOFT SIDE, A PROGRAMMER DEVELOPER TO SUPPORT OUR PEOPLESOFT SYSTEMS, BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE ONE PERSON RIGHT NOW AND THEY REALLY NEED A BACKUP IN THAT ROLE
AND THEN MOVING ON TO INFORMATION SECURITY AGAIN, ANOTHER FTE TO SUPPORT THEIR STAFF THERE
AND PARTICULARLY THE INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGER POSITION WHO'S REALLY GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE HER CAPACITY TO DO EVERYTHING SHE NEEDS TO DO IS SHE'S BECOMING KIND OF OVERWHELMED AND UNABLE TO DISCHARGE ALL OF HER DUTIES, INCLUDING SUPERVISING A LOT OF HER STAFF
SO THIS POSITION WILL TAKE SOME OF THE LOAD OFF OF HER, INCLUDING SUPERVISING STAFF, AND ALLOW HER TO FOCUS MORE ON SOME OF THE STRATEGIC ELEMENTS OF INFORMATION SECURITY
AND THAT LAST POSITION ACTUALLY IS A POSITION THAT WOULD SUPPORT AN EXISTING STAFF MEMBER WHO SUPPORTS THE 911 SYSTEMS DOWN AT THE AIRPORT
IT'S A PUBLIC SAFETY SPECIALIST, TECH SPECIALIST
SO THIS WAS, AGAIN, THERE'S ONLY ONE POSITION THAT HAS TO SUPPORT THAT 247 OPERATION
AND IT'S REALLY JUST NOT SUFFICIENT AND THERE'S NOT ENOUGH BACKUP
SO A SECOND POSITION TO COVER THAT
AND THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE IS BOTH OF THOSE POSITIONS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT FROM KING COUNTY
SO THAT THOSE ESSENTIALLY ARE PAID FOR BY KING COUNTY
NEXT SLIDE
AND THEN JUST REAL QUICKLY THROUGH HERE, CPO, AS YOU KNOW, HANDLES ALL THE CONTRACTS CONTRACTING FOR THE ORGANIZATION YOU KNOW, THEIR WORKLOAD HAS GROWN AS CONTRACTING HAS GROWN
SO THEY ARE PROPOSING THREE NEW FTES TO SUPPORT THE GROWING PROCUREMENT AND CONTRACTING NEEDS, PARTICULARLY IN AREAS OF, I BELIEVE IT'S ENVIRONMENTAL, TECHNOLOGY AND CONSTRUCTION ARE THE THREE BIG AREAS THAT THEY'VE SEEN THE LARGEST GROWTH
SO SOME ADDITIONAL FTES SUPPORT THAT WORK
AND THEN THEY ALSO WANT TO UNDERTAKE A SORT OF BRING IN A CONSULTANT AND DO A WORKFORCE ANALYSIS THAT WILL LOOK NOT ONLY ON THEIR STAFFING LEVELS BUT ALSO THEIR ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE TO SEE IF THEY ARE, IF THEY ARE RIGHT SIZED AND HOW THEY MIGHT ORGANIZE BETTER FOR SUCCESS INTO THE FUTURE AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
AND THEN HR HAS GOT A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES
THEY WANT TO BRING IN ADDITIONAL FTE TO HELP THEM WITH PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS ACROSS THEIR VARIOUS PROCESSES WITHIN HR, WHICH THEY THINK THERE'S LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES LOOKING AT PEOPLE, PROCESSES AND TECHNOLOGIES
THEY WANT TO BRING IN AN ADDITIONAL SENIOR INVESTIGATION SPECIALIST AND WORKPLACE RESPONSIBILITY TO FREE UP THE MANAGER, SPEND TIME MORE ON PROGRAMMATIC AND STRATEGIC ELEMENTS OF THAT PROGRAM
AND THEN SOME MINOR FUNDING FOR SORT OF AN INTAKE TICKETING SYSTEM
THEY GET A LOT OF INQUIRIES
I THINK IT'S LIKE 4,000AMONTH WITH REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION FROM BOTH WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE PORT
BETTER WAY TO TRACK THAT
AND THEN ALSO SOME SUPPORT FOR OUR OUTSIDE ONBOARDING SYSTEM OR OUR RECRUITING SYSTEM THAT WOULD BETTER BE ABLE TO MANAGE THE ONBOARDING NEW EMPLOYEES
AND THEN SOME MINOR FUNDING TO ADMINISTER OUR COBRA PROGRAM AND SOME FUNDING FOR EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS
AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, AS YOU KNOW, OUR CAPITAL PROGRAM CONTINUES TO GROW AND ENGINEERING IS PROPOSING SEVEN ADDITIONAL FTES TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH IN THE CAPITAL PROGRAM
SO JUST THE HIGHLIGHTS, THAT'S NOT EVERY NEW POSITION
AGAIN, THERE'S MORE DETAIL IN THE APPENDIX AND SO I'LL PAUSE THERE BEFORE TURNING IT OVER TO MICHAEL
GREAT
THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION
IT'S ALWAYS HELPFUL INFORMATION TO HAVE AND ESPECIALLY FOR THE PUBLIC TO HEAR AS THE COMMISSIONERS GO THROUGH THE RETREAT AND WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS TOGETHER
BUT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PART FOR THE PUBLIC TO ALSO BE LOOPED IN AND, AND TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION BE TRANSPARENT
COMMISSIONERS, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? COMMISSIONER HASEGAWA? YES, SURE
DIRECTOR THOMAS, I'M WONDERING IF PART OF THE PORT OF SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S REQUEST INCLUDES FUNDS FOR AN UPDATED RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S A NEW REQUEST AND I BELIEVE CHIEF V IS ON THE LINE
THEY MAY HAVE SOMETHING IN THEIR BASE BUDGET, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I THINK THERE IS A PROJECT FOR THAT SYSTEM AND I KNOW THE ICT FOLKS ARE ON TOO, SO I CAN JUMP ON REAL QUICK
SO, CHIEF MIKE V
WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT'S A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN OR CAPITAL PROJECT
AND SO WE ALREADY HAVE THAT BUDGETED AND WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF BASICALLY STARTING TO IMPLEMENT THAT NOW
STARTING TO IMPLEMENT THE NEW SYSTEM OR STARTING TO SEARCH FOR A NEW SYSTEM? NO, STARTING TO IMPLEMENT
WE ALREADY WENT THROUGH THE REQUEST PROPOSAL FOR REQUEST OR REQUEST PROPOSALS
WE WENT THROUGH THAT WHOLE PROCESS ALREADY
WE HAVE THE VENDOR SELECTED AND SO WE ARE GETTING A NEW
BOTH A NEW CAD AND RMS SYSTEM
YEAH
OKAY
I THOUGHT SO
CAN I REQUEST APPROVAL BRIEFING ON THE RMS SYSTEM, PLEASE? SURE
ABSOLUTELY
THANK YOU
AND THE REASON WHY I'M ASKING IS JUST BECAUSE GENERALLY SPEAKING THERE'S HISTORICALLY NOT WITH THE PORT OF SEATTLE PROPER, BUT JUST BEEN QUESTIONS AND CIVIL RIGHTS IMPLICATIONS ABOUT THE WAY DATA IS CAPTURED, THE WAY DATA IS BEING USED, THE WAY DATA INFORMS TARGETED STRATEGIES FOR
FOR POLICING HOTSPOTS AND EXPANDING DEFINITIONS OF HOT SPOTS
SO I CAN TAKE THAT OFFLINE INTO A SEPARATE FORUM
THANK YOU
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER
COMMISSIONER CHO
NO SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FROM ME
THANK YOU, DAN AND MICHAEL, AS ALWAYS FOR THE GREAT BRIEFINGS ON OUR BUDGET FOR KEEPING US LIQUID
THAT IS RIGHT
ALL RIGHT, WE CAN CONTINUE WITH THAT
I HAVE JUST A GENERAL QUESTION THAT I THINK IS GOOD TO GET THE ANSWER IN PUBLIC
BUT BEFORE US, I THINK JUST TODAY KEENE COUNTY ROLLED OUT THEIR EXECUTIVE BUDGET
THE CITY OF SEATTLE IS ROLLING OUT THEIR VERSION OF THE MAYOR'S BUDGET
WE'RE HEARING FROM OTHER MUNICIPALITIES IN THE AREA ABOUT THE TRIBUNAL TREMENDOUS DEFICIT
IF YOU TALK TO ANY OF OUR PARTNERS AT THE STATE, THEY'RE STARING DOWN A TREMENDOUS DEFICIT AS WELL
FOLKS ARE GOING TO BE ADVOCATING FOR A NO AUSTERITY BUDGET
WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT HERE AT THE PORT OF SEATTLE
AND CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT AS TRUTH? WHY DAN OR DIRECTOR THOMAS? YEAH
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER
YOU KNOW, ONE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PORT, WHICH IS AN ENTERPRISE FUND, MORE LIKE CITY LIGHT, IF YOU WILL, THAN A GENERAL PURPOSE GOVERNMENT
GENERAL PURPOSE GOVERNMENTS ARE REQUIRED UNDER STATE LAW TO HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET
THAT MEANS THEIR SOURCE OF REVENUES IS TYPICALLY TAX REVENUES OF VARIOUS KINDS HAS TO EXACTLY MATCH THEIR EXPENDITURES
SO THEY LOOK AT WHAT THEY PROJECT COMING IN FROM THEIR VARIOUS REVENUE SOURCES AND THEIR EXPENDITURES HAVE TO EXACTLY MATCH THOSE
YOU KNOW, FOR US, SINCE WE'RE AN ENTERPRISE, OUR REVENUES TYPICALLY EXCEED OUR EXPENSES AND THE RESULT OF THAT IS A POSITIVE NET INCOME
IT'S MORE LIKE A BUSINESS, IF YOU WILL
SO WE DON'T HAVE THOSE SAME KIND OF CONSTRAINTS THAT MOST GENERAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE THE EXCEPTION TO THAT WOULD BE OUR LEVY
AND WE'RE REALLY COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT OUR BEST INSTRUMENTED AS ANOTHER TOOL IN OUR BUDGET THAT WE AREN'T USING THAT AS A REGRESSIVE TAX SOURCE
RIGHT
WE ARE MINDFUL ABOUT THAT IN OUR APPROVAL PROCESS LAST YEAR AND THE OTHER EDGE OF THAT SWORD OF BEING A SPECIAL PURPOSE GOVERNMENT AND THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AND WE'RE NOT TAXING THE PUBLIC THE SAME WAY OTHER GOVERNMENTS ARE, THAT WE'RE MINDFUL ABOUT THE IMPACTS, THE OTHER SOCIAL IMPACTS OF SOME OF THE INDUSTRIES
AND THAT'S REALLY WHERE THE MEAT OF OUR CONVERSATIONS ARE
AND I THINK THAT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING WAY TO BE ABLE TO PLUG IN AS A COMMISSION OFFICE AS WELL INTO HOW WE CAN INFLUENCE PROGRESS WITHIN THE INDUSTRIES THEMSELVES
SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SPECIAL PURPOSE GOVERNMENT AND GENERAL PURPOSE GOVERNMENT
AND THANK YOU
SURE
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER HAFEGAWA
WE CAN PROCEED WITH THE PRESENTATION
THANK YOU
THANK YOU
GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS AND DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR KOON
I'M GOING TO WALK THROUGH THE NEW FTE HERE
SO THIS IS THE ASSEMBLY OF THE VC TESTED AND APPROVED NEW FTE BY DEPARTMENT FOR 2025
MOST OF THE NEW FTE ARE REALLY DRIVEN BY THE DIVISION GROWING BUSINESS NEEDS
THIS INCLUDE FOR EXAMPLE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND THE CPO THAT I MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT EARLIER AND THAT WE DESIGN MOST OF THE MAJORITY OF THE INCREASE HERE
ANOTHER POINT I DO WANT TO MAKE HERE IS THAT YOU WHILE THE 34 OF THE 40 REQUESTED NEW FTE SEEMS VERY HIGH, BUT IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE ORIGINAL REQUESTS WERE 57 NEW FTE AND 40 FTE WAS A REVISED NUMBER FROM THE ORIGINAL REQUESTS AFTER SOME REVIEW AND DISCUSSION BY STEPS
SO OVERALL I THINK THE STOCK HAS BEEN VERY POOR THEM IN TERMS OF MAKING THE NEW FTE REQUESTS HERE
SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
HERE'S THE 2025 PROPOSED FTE SUMMARY
WE START WITH THE 2025 APPROVED BUDGET WITH 945.8 FTE AND WE HAVE A 1 FTE TRANSFER FROM THE AIRPORT
WE ELIMINATED FOR APPRENTICESHIP POSITION IN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
WE BUDGET FOR THE PROGRAM FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS BUT NEVER ABLE TO IMPLEMENT IT FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS
SO HERE I'LL TRY TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS IS NOT DIFFERENT FROM THE CONSTRUCTION PER APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM WHICH WE STILL HAVE 750,000 BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR AND THEN THE OTHER ONE SPEEDING UP
SO THE 34 NEW FTE THAT WE ARE PROPOSING RIGHT NOW WILL, YOU KNOW, GET TO THE 2025 PROPOSED BUDGET OF 976.8 FTE FOR 2025
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO HERE'S A HIGHLIGHT OF THE 2025 PROPOSED BUDGET
THEN ALREADY MENTIONED A DEBATE EARLIER ABOUT THE 195 MILLION OR 14 MILLION INCREASE FROM THE 2024 BUDGET
AND WE LOOK AT THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE PAYROLL SIDE, THE INCREASE IS 13.4 MILLION OR 9.6%
YOU KNOW BEN ALSO TOUCHED ON THE 5% AVERAGE PAY INCREASE FOR PERFORMANCE AND THEN ANALYZE THE NEW FTE THAT WAS APPROVED IN THE 2025, EXCUSE ME, 2024 BUDGET IN THE BASELINE INCREASED
AND THEN YOU MENTIONED ABOUT THE 34 NEW FTE EARLIER AND THEN ALSO THE 3.9 MILLION INCREASE IN EQUITY PAY
SO THAT REALLY, YOU KNOW, THE FOUR FACTOR THAT CAUSED THE PAYROLL BUDGET SIDE INCREASED
ON THE LONG PAYROLL SIDE THE INCREASE IS 694,000 OR JUST 1.6% COMPARED TO LAST YEAR FOR THE 2025 BUDGET
2024 BUDGET SYSTEM
SO IT'S REALLY DRIVEN BY THE HIGHER ON SITE CONSULTANT, HIGHER INSURANCE COST AND SOME OTHER CONTRACTUAL INCREASE BUT ALSO OFFSET BY SPEED THAT RELATE TO THE GAS IN 96 AND ALSO THE ONE TIME ITEM IN THE 2020 FALL BUDGET
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE 2025 COMMUNITY PROGRAM BY ACTIVITIES
YOU CAN SEE THE PERCENTAGES FOR EACH OF THE ACTIVITY FROM THE PIE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE AND SOME OF THE KEY PROGRAM UNDER THE EACH OF THE CATEGORIES ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE
I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT YOU COULD FIND OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL IN THE OTHER PROGRAM IN THE APPENDIX SLIDE 48 AND 49 IN THE APPENDIX
I ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT THE AIRPORT, THE AIRPORT THE SPORT ADVERTISING PROGRAM WHICH IS SHOWN IN THE SECOND BULLET POINT UNDER THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CATEGORY
THAT NUMBER HAD BEEN REVISED FROM 1.6 MILLION HERE TO 517,000 AFTER SOME REVIEW IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS
BUT IT WAS TOO LATE TO THE POWERPOINT HERE
SO I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT
AND BY THE WAY, THE SPOTLIGHT PROGRAM FOR THE 2024 BUDGET IS JUST 466,000
SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT INCREASED FROM THE 2034 BUDGET
AND OVERALL THE COMMITTEE PROGRAM BUDGET FOR 2025 IS SLIGHTLY UNDER 20 MILLION AFTER ADJUSTING THE SPOTLIGHT ADVERTISING PROGRAM HERE
SO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THIS CHART SHOWS THE COMMUNITY PROGRAM BUDGET FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS
THE KEY TAKEAWAY HERE IS THAT THE PROGRAM HAVE BEEN GROWING STEADILY EACH YEAR FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT, YOU KNOW, WHILE WE ARE DOING OUR BEST TO PREPARE AND REVIEW THE BUDGET, THERE'S ALWAYS SOME UNCERTAINTY AND BUDGET
SO WE WANT TO POINT THAT OUT
THOSE INCLUDE SLOWING ECONOMIC GROWTH, THE IMPACT OF THE HR COMPENSATION PROJECT THAT I MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, THE ABILITY TO EXECUTE ON A GROWING NUMBER OF THE PROGRAM AND INITIATIVES, AND ALSO THE FULL IMPACT OF THE CYBER INCIDENT, YOU KNOW, STILL A LOT OF THOSE
WE DO HAVE SOME INSURANCE, YOU KNOW, EXPECTED TO COVER SOME OF THE COSTS
BUT WE STILL WORKING ON LOTS OF DETAIL AND THE FOOTING HAS STILL YET TO BE DETERMINED
LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS THE VACANCY FACTOR
WE ASSUME 5% IN THE BUDGET AS WHAT WE DID FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS
BUT ALL DEPENDS ON THE START TURNOVER AND THE SPEED OF HIRING AND YOU KNOW, AND THE OVERALL JOB MARKET IN GENERAL
SO CERTAINLY THERE'S SOME UNCERTAINTY THERE AS WELL
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A QUICK SUMMARY OF THE 2025 EQUITY SPENDING FOR CENTRAL SERVICES IN THE NEXT COUPLE SLIDES OR NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
HERE ARE THE 2025 CENTRAL SERVICE EQUITY BUDGETING SPENDING HIGHLIGHTS
SOME OF THOSE ARE WHAT YOU ASKED, SUCH AS THE 750K FOR THE YOUTH CAREER LAUNCH PROGRAM, THE MARITIME HIGH SCHOOL AND SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO FUND THE WALMART VALLEY COMMUNITY EQUITY PROGRAM AND ALSO TO CONTINUE TO FUND THE EMPLOYEE RESOURCES GROUPS
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
ALL THESE TRIALS WE JUST SAW THE 2025 ESAP SPENDING BY CATEGORY
THE GREEN BUS IS THE 2025 BUDGET AND THE BUZZ FOR 2024 BUDGET, AS YOU CAN SEE, YOU KNOW WE ARE SEEING MOST OF THE GOAL IN EACH CATEGORY EXCEPT THE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT CATEGORY WHICH IS MAINLY DUE TO CHANGE OF THE FUNDING FROM 500,000 TO 750,000 FOR THE YOUTH MARITIME CAREER LAUNCH PROGRAM THAT YOU SAW A LITTLE BIT EARLIER
SO WE WERE NOT ABLE TO SPEND THAT LAST YEAR AND PROBABLY DID NOT
IT'S LIKELY NOT THIS YEAR AS WELL
SO WE JUST BITE SIZE IT TO 750K FOR THE PROGRAM EXCEEDING
THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE FOR THE PROPOSED OFFICE BUDGET
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE
OTHERWISE I TURN IT TO KRISTA TO GO OVER THE CIP PROCEDURE SERVICES FOR USE
THANK YOU MICHAEL FOR PRESENTING ON THAT PART
APPRECIATE IT
ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS AT THIS TIME? OKAY, WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PRESENTATION
THANK YOU
GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS AND DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GOON
I'M KRISTA SADLER AND I'M IN OUR ICT ORGANIZATION, THE DIRECTOR OF TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
SO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO EVERY YEAR I GET TO REPORT ON THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR CENTRAL SERVICES BECAUSE IN ICT WE HAVE THE BULK OF IT
BUT THERE ARE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT DO HAVE SOME OF THE CAPITAL CIPS
SO THE FIRST THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IS THAT THERE WILL BE A SLIDE MISSING IN HERE FROM WHAT WE USUALLY DO BECAUSE THIS YEAR PRIOR TO THE CYBER EVENT WE IDENTIFIED NO NEW CENTRAL SERVICES CIPS FOR 2025
NOW AS DAN TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, WE WILL REEVALUATE THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE RECOVERY PHASE
BUT PRIOR TO THE EVENT, WE HAD IDENTIFIED NO NEW CAPITAL
PLENTY OF WORK GOING ON THOUGH
AND IN ADDITION TO DOING CENTRAL SERVICES PROJECTS, WE'RE ALSO ALSO DOING WORK FOR THE OPERATING DIVISIONS THEMSELVES AS WELL
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE
SO OBVIOUSLY THERE WILL BE IMPACTS TO SOME OF THESE PROJECTS MOVING FORWARD, BUT BECAUSE OF THE CYBER EVENT, BUT IN DIFFERENT WAYS
SO THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE LIKELY TO BE DELAYED JUST BECAUSE RESOURCES ARE FOCUSED ON THE RECOVERY EFFORT, BUT THERE ARE ALSO SOME THAT ARE GOING TO BE MOVING FORWARD FASTER BECAUSE AS WE LOOK TO REBUILD WITH NEW EQUIPMENT, WE'RE FAST TRACKING SOME OF THESE PROJECTS TO MOVE FORWARD FASTER THAN THEY WOULD HAVE
SO THAT INCLUDES SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT ONES, THE ENTERPRISE NETWORK REFRESH, THE TIERPOINT SAN REFRESH, BUT ALSO SOME OF THE BUSINESS PROJECTS
SO THE ID BADGE SYSTEM UPGRADE, AND I THINK ONE THAT'S NOT ON HERE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE EXPECTED TO BE DONE BY THE END OF THE YEAR, BUT THAT WAS THE CAD AND THE POLICE RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AS WELL
SO THOSE ARE ONES THAT KIND OF IN THE THEME OF BUILDING BACK BETTER, WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE WITH THE NEW SYSTEMS AS THEY ARE AVAILABLE
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE
SO THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT WERE IN OUR 2024 IDENTIFIED CIPS
THESE MAY EXPERIENCE SOME SLOWDOWNS MORE THAN OTHERS
AND THESE ARE ALL FOR THE BUSINESS UNITS THEMSELVES
SO WE'LL LIKELY WORK WITH THEM TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF SOME OF THOSE SCHEDULE DELAYS
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE
AND FINALLY, THE LAST ONE I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS OUR SMALL CAPITAL PROJECT
AND THESE ARE IMPORTANT
THESE ARE KIND OF SPLIT BETWEEN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND OURS AND IC, THE TECH INFRASTRUCTURE, THE TECHNOLOGY, BUSINESS APPLICATIONS AND ENTERPRISE GIS SMALL CAPITAL, THEY'RE USED FOR SMALLER EFFORTS THAT ARE UNDER THE 300,000 LIMIT FOR SMALL CAPITAL
AND WE ARE FINDING SOME USES FOR THIS THAT WE HAVEN'T IN THE PAST
WITH THE RISE OF THE SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE MODEL, A LOT OF OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS DON'T INCLUDE LICENSING LIKE THEY DID BEFORE
SO THE ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION COSTS ARE LOWER
AND SO WE'RE USING THESE CIPS TO DO MORE THAN WE HAVE IN THE PAST BECAUSE OF THAT
THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT IS THAT WE ALSO USE THESE FOR OUR CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT
WE DO HAVE APPLICATIONS THAT WE DEVELOPED WITHIN ICT AND WE WORK WITH THE BUSINESS UNIT AS THEY DEVELOP NEW REQUIREMENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE APPLICATIONS ARE UP TO DATE AND REFLECT THE REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY NEED TO DO THEIR BUSINESS
AND SOME OF THOSE INCLUDE LIKE THE CONTRACT DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WHICH IS USED BY CPO FOR CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION, VENDOR CONNECT THAT SUPPORTS VENDOR OUTREACH AND PROCUREMENT ADVERTISEMENTS, AND THEN A NEW ONE, THE SHARE OF THE VESSEL MORTGAGE SYSTEM WHICH SUPPORTS ALL THE MARINA OPERATIONS
THERE'S OTHERS AS WELL, BUT THOSE ARE THE IMPORTANT ONES OR THEY'RE NOT JUST IMPORTANT ONES, BUT THOSE ARE SOME OF THEM
I THINK THAT IS THE END OF MY CAPITAL
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN ANSWER ABOUT THAT? ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS? NO, WE'LL CONTINUE TO PROCEED THEN FORWARD
THOSE WANT TO SHARE THAT WE MIMIC BUDGET SCHEDULE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS
BASICALLY WE WILL HAVE THE OPERATING BUDGET PROPOSED BUDGET BRIEFING TO YOU ON OCTOBER 8TH
THAT'S A SPECIAL SESSION THAT MORNING FOR AVIATION AND PUBLIC TIMES
AND THEN YOU KNOW, THEN ALSO THEY FINISH THE EDD BUDGET BEEPING IN THE AFTERNOON ON THE 8TH
AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THE TAX LEVY AND JOB PLAN FINANCE SPEAKING TO YOU ON THE TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT
AND WE'LL PROVIDE THE PROPOSED BUDGET DOCUMENT TO YOU ON BY OCTOBER 22ND
AND THEN WE'LL TRY TO MAKE IT AVAILABLE ON THE SAME DAY, YOU KNOW, ON THE AT LEAST POST ON THE WEB THE WEBSITE IS AVAILABLE BY THEN AND IF NOT, YOU KNOW, SOME COPY, HARD COPY AS REQUIRED BY LAW A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER ON THE 24TH
I ALSO WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT THE SEAPORT ALLIANCE BUDGET ADOPTION BY THE MANAGING MEMBERS WILL BE ON NOVEMBER 5TH
AND THEN WE'LL ALSO INTRODUCE OUR OWN BUDGET AND THE PUBLIC HEARING ON NOVEMBER 12TH
AND THEN ON THE SAME DAY YOU APPROVE THE REVIEW THE IRA FOR THE SEAPORT LINES
AND THEN THE ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET WILL BE ON NOVEMBER 19TH
AND AFTER THAT WE'LL FILE THE STATUTE BUDGET WITH THE COUNTY BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH IN BEFORE THE END OF NOVEMBER
AND THEN WE WILL RELEASE THE BUDGET DOCUMENT, FINAL BUDGET DOCUMENT TO THE PUBLIC BY THE FIRST, THE END OF THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER
SO THAT'S THE OVERALL BUDGET SCHEDULE
SO WITH THAT CONCLUDE OUR PRESENTATION
THANK YOU
AND AGAIN I DO WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF SLIDES IN THE APPENDIX SO YOU SEE TO TAKE A LOOK AND LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
THANK YOU MICHAEL AND THANK YOU MICHAEL AND DAN
YOU BOTH HAVE AN EXCELLENT TEAM AND YOU ARE ALL AN AWARD WINNING TEAM FOR A REASON
THANKS FOR THE FINANCIAL STABILITY THAT YOU BRING TO THE PORT OF SEATTLE
AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS ALL DID THIS YEAR IN BEING OUT IN THE COMMUNITY, HELPING THE COMMUNITY AND THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND HOW THE PORT OF SEATTLE'S BUDGET WORKS
I PARTICIPATED IN MANY OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND IT WAS EDUCATIONAL FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATED
AND SO IT'S ALWAYS GOOD FOR US TO KEEP FOLKS INFORMED
AND SO AGAIN, THANK YOU TO YOUR TEAM
COMMISSIONERS, ARE THERE ANY FINAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT, I WILL BE MOVING
SO LONG
NO PROBLEM
WE HAVE ONE MORE PRESENTATION
THE PORT OF SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT UPDATE AND ANNUAL ANNUAL REPORT
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GOON, WOULD YOU LIKE TO INTRODUCE THIS NEXT ITEM? YES
THANK YOU
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS
THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR PORT OF SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS A CRUCIAL COMPONENT OF OUR OVERALL SUCCESS AS AN ORGANIZATION
REFLECTING OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY ON OUR VALUES OF EQUITY, TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE
WE TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN HAVING A MISSION DRIVEN, VALUES ORIENTED POLICE DEPARTMENT DEPARTMENT THAT CONTINUALLY ADAPTS TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES
TODAY, CHIEF VIA WILL PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE DEPARTMENT'S PROGRESS ACROSS SEVERAL AREAS, INCLUDING RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING, AS WELL AS OUR INTERACTION WITH THE PUBLIC
WE'LL ALSO HEAR ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT'S EFFORTS TO IMPLEMENT THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE PORT'S POLICING TASK FORCE REGARDING THE EQUITY AND CIVIL RIGHTS, AS WELL AS THEIR ONGOING COLLABORATION WITH 21 CP FOR EVALUATION
CHIEF GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS, COMMISSION PRESIDENT, DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GOON, OTHER PORT STAFF AND VISITORS
IT'S MY PLEASURE TO BE HERE TODAY TO PRESENT THE PORT OF SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT AND UPDATE
AND BEFORE I'M GOING TO GO OFF SCRIPT A LITTLE BIT AND JUST BEFORE GOING TO THE NEXT SLIDE, I JUST WANT TO SAY SEEING KRISTA SADLER ON JUST NOW ON THERE
KRISTA, MATT BREED, STEPHANIE WARREN, YOU GUYS ROCK
I MEAN, THE WORK THAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING TO HELP US GET THROUGH THIS TIME HAS JUST BEEN PHENOMENAL AND I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THOSE TEAMS THAT ARE DOING THAT AND HELPING TO SUPPORT US AND GET US BACK ON OUR FEET
OKAY, NOW WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND I'LL CONTINUE WITH THE PRESENTATION
SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO QUICKLY GO OVER A DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW AND ACTIVITIES AT A HIGH LEVEL
WE WILL THEN DISCUSS RECRUITING AND THE POLICING ASSESSMENT AND WE'LL FINISH WITH A GLANCE AT OUR STRATEGIC PLAN
LOOKING FORWARD
NEXT SLIDE
AND WE START HERE
THE LAST FEW YEARS YOU'VE SEEN THIS SLIDE, BUT WE START HERE BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT FOLLOWS IN THE PRESENTATION, IT ALIGNS WITH PURSUING OUR VISION, FULFILLING OUR PURPOSE, AND IS GUIDED BY OUR PRINCIPLES AND VALUES WHICH YOU SEE HERE ON THIS SLIDE
NEXT SLIDE
THESE ARE THE CORE FUNCTIONS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
THERE ARE NO CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS YEARS
I WILL JUST CALL OUT TO YOUR ATTENTION THE LAST ONE, WHICH IS TO RESPOND, MITIGATE AND STABILIZE ACTS OF TERRORISM AND UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE
THIS IS AN AREA IN WHICH WE HAVE PUT ADDITIONAL FOCUS TO ENHANCE OUR CAPABILITIES, WHICH WAS TOUCHED ON A LITTLE BIT ALREADY IN THE BUDGET PRESENTATION WITH OUR HOMELAND SECURITY DIVISION AND SPECIAL OPERATIONS BUREAU
AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THIS AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION
NEXT SLIDE
SO THIS WAS THE STRUCTURE OF THE COMMAND TEAM IN 2023
OF NOTE IS THE TWO BUREAUS
I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS INFORMATION, BUT REALLY JUST WANT TO NOTE THE TWO BUREAUS, BOTH OPERATIONS AND SERVICES BUREAU, WHICH I WILL TALK ABOUT NEXT
NEXT SLIDE
THE OPERATIONS BUREAU IS OVERSEEN AND LED BY DEPUTY CHIEF SEAN GUILLABOW
IT'S COMPRISED OF OUR UNIFORMED TEAMS THAT YOU SEE ON THIS SLIDE
PATROL, MARINE PATROL UNIT, DIVE TEAM, EXPLOSIVE DETECTION, CANINE OR BOMB DISPOSAL UNIT, AND OUR TRAFFIC SUPPORT SPECIALIST
AND WE DON'T HAVE TIME DURING THIS PRESENTATION TO TALK ABOUT ALL OF THESE TEAMS AND ALL THE GREAT WORK THAT'S BEING PERFORMED
HOWEVER, YOU CAN READ ALL ABOUT THE BUREAU IN OUR ANNUAL REPORT THAT IS PART OF THE COMMISSION PACKET AND WILL ALSO BE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE
NEXT SLIDE
ONE OF THE RELATIVELY NEWER TEAMS IN PATROL, HOWEVER, THAT I WILL HIGHLIGHT IS OUR CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAM, OFFICER MICHELLE BRIEGEL AND OUR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, VICTORIA SCHUCH
THEY CONTINUE TO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE SUPPORT AND THE UNHOUSED POPULATION THAT VISIT OUR PROPERTIES
YOU CAN SEE HERE THE TREMENDOUS WORK THAT THEY ARE PERFORMING
THEY HAD OVER 850 CONTACTS IN BOTH 2023 AND 24 COMBINED YEAR DATE
91% OF THOSE CONTACTS WERE RESOLVED WITHOUT ARREST, WHICH IS A GREAT NUMBER THAT WE LIKE TO SEE
66% OF THOSE CONTACTED RECEIVED SOME ASSISTANCE OR REFERRAL
AND I CONTINUE TO HEAR STORIES OF PERSONS OR FAMILIES WHO RECEIVE THE REFERRALS OR TREATMENTS THEY NEED TO BECOME STABILIZED AND END UP IN HOUSING OR BACK WITH FAMILY
FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WAS ONE FAMILY WITH TWO ADOLESCENT CHILDREN, SERVICE ANIMAL
THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY HOUSING SECURED AND SPENT TWO WEEKS SLEEPING ON METRO BUSES AND THE LIGHT RAIL
THEY FOUND THEIR WAY INTO THE AIRPORT AND TO OFFICER BRIEGEL AND VICTORIA
FAMILY WAS CONNECTED TO THE LOCAL AGENCY THAT FOUND THEM SHELTER AND WAS MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO HELP THEM FLY BACK TO THEIR HOME OUT OF STATE WHERE THEY WILL BE HOUSED BY ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER UNTIL THEY'RE ABLE TO SECURE THEIR OWN HOUSING
AND THAT'S JUST ONE OF MANY STORIES THAT I COULD DISCUSS REGARDING THIS TEAM AND JUST THE EXCELLENT WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
THE SERVICES BUREAU IS OVERSEEN BY DEPUTY CHIEF MARK THOMAS
THE SERVICES BUREAU SUPPORTS THE DEPARTMENT'S OPERATIONS, MANAGES THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPONENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT
IT WAS COMPRISED OF THESE TEAMS THAT YOU SEE ON THE SLIDE, THE OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY, OUR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION, THE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIVISION, AND THEN ALSO OUR 911 POLICE AND FIRE COMMUNICATIONS CENTER, LIKE THE OPERATIONS BUREAU
THERE'S REALLY TOO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS BUREAU, BUT MUCH CAN BE FOUND IN OUR ANNUAL REPORT
AND I WILL, HOWEVER, BEFORE LEAVING THIS, I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, HOWEVER, OUR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION AND PARTICULARLY OUR DRUG INTERDICTION TEAM, THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO DO A POSITIVE OR HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT IN OUR REGION
1
I'LL JUST GIVE YOU ONE EXAMPLE
ONE INVESTIGATION LED TO THE ARREST OF A DRUG TRAFFIC TRAFFICKER AND THE SEIZURE OF 34 POUNDS OF FENTANYL PILLS
THAT'S 154,000 PILLS THAT DID NOT GET DISTRIBUTED INTO OUR COMMUNITY AND POTENTIALLY TAKE LIVES
AND THAT'S THE TYPE OF WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING AND THE IMPACT THEY'RE HAVING ON OUR REGION
I WILL ALSO SAY JUST ABOUT THAT TEAM, OUR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION IS THAT DURING 2023 AND DUE TO STAFFING ISSUES, OUR DETECTIVES SPENT MORE THAN 25% OF THEIR WORK WEEKS WORKING UNIFORM PATROL POSITIONS BECAUSE OF OUR STAFFING
BUT WE TURNED THE CORNER WITH STAFFING WHICH REALLY LEADS ME INTO THE NEXT SET OF SLIDES
SO IF WE COULD GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE
RECRUITING AND HIRING
SO AT THE START OF 2023 WE HAD A TOTAL OF 41 VACANCIES IN THE DEPARTMENT
AND DURING THE YEAR WE HAD 16 SEPARATIONS AND RETIREMENTS
HOWEVER, WE ENDED THE YEAR WITH ONLY 25 TOTAL VACANCIES
SO WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS IN THE POSITIVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
NEXT SLIDE
AND THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE BREAKDOWN OF THOSE HIRES AND OUR 2024 YEAR TO DATE NUMBERS
IN 2024, WE'VE HIRED 20 FULL TIME EMPLOYEES TOTAL IN DEPARTMENT AND A TOTAL OF NINE WHO HAVE LEFT OR RETIRED
AND SO PRESENTLY WE HAVE ONLY 15 VACANCIES, WHICH AGAIN IS MUCH BETTER FROM OUR 41 VACANCIES AT THE BEGINNING OF 2023
AND A LOT OF THIS IS CREDITED TO THE RECRUITMENT CADRE, DEDICATED INDIVIDUALS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO ARE WORKING TO RECRUIT OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND OTHER EMPLOYEES
BUT ALSO KATIE GERARD, DIRECTOR, KITTY GERARD, HER STAFF IN HR AND ESPECIALLY TALENT ACQUISITION REPRESENTATIVE CANDY LORENZO, WHO HAS DONE JUST A WONDERFUL JOB FOR US
OUR BACKGROUND INVESTIGATORS WHO HAVE I THINK IN 2023 CONDUCTED OVER 100 BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS AND AS A MUCH YOUNGER FRIEND OF MINE WOULD SAY, THEY ARE CRUSHING IT
AND THANK YOU TO THAT TEAM
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
HERE ARE SOME OF THE TEAM MEMBERS THAT HAVE MADE RECRUITMENT SUCCESSFUL
IT HAS BEEN REALLY A TEAM EFFORT AS I ALLUDED TO IN THE LAST SLIDE
SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN RECRUITING, THEY'VE CONDUCTED HUNDREDS OF ORAL BOARDS, PROMOTIONAL ASSESSMENTS AND SPECIALTY ASSIGNMENT ASSESSMENTS IN 2023 AND 24
THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE VARIOUS SELECTION PROCESSES BEING CONDUCTED
EVERYTHING FROM ENTRY POLICE OFFICER TO POLICE SPECIALISTS TO A DEPUTY CHIEF PROCESS TO EXPLOSIVE DETECTION, CANINE ASSESSMENT
AND I WON'T READ THROUGH ALL THESE, BUT YOU CAN SEE ALL THE WORK THAT THAT TEAM IS DOING
NEXT SLIDE
TWO CHANGES THIS YEAR THAT CANDY HAS INITIATED HAS BEEN THE POLICE OFFICERS OR POS, A POLICE OFFICER CANDIDATE INFORMATION SESSIONS AND USING A NEW VENDOR TO CONDUCT OUR POLICE OFFICER TEST, NATIONAL TESTING NETWORK
THIS RESEARCH, I SHOULD SAY, HAS SHOWN THAT NTN NATIONAL TESTING NETWORK SHOULD INCREASE THE DIVERSITY OF OUR CANDIDATE POOL OVER OUR PREVIOUS VENDOR
AND THEN BEFORE LEAVING THIS SECTION, I WOULD LIKE TO ADVISE THE COMMISSION THAT GIVEN OUR IMPROVED STAFFING THAT WE NOW EXPERIENCE, WE WERE ABLE TO DISCONTINUE UTILIZING CONTRACTED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
SO THOSE ARE OFFICERS FROM OTHER AGENCIES WHO ARE COMING IN AND ASSISTING US
BUT THAT CONTRACT WAS VERY HELPFUL TO HAVE DURING THAT TIME WHEN WE HAD THE LOW STAFFING
BUT OUR PREFERENCE REALLY IS TO UTILIZE OUR OWN TEAM MEMBERS TO PROTECT OUR GATEWAYS AND SERVE OUR COMMUNITY
AND WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT NOW WITH THE STAFF THAT WE HAVE
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT WHEN IT CAME TO THOSE STRATEGIES THAT WE HAD TO EMPLOY PREVIOUSLY
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE
SO WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO THE POLICING ASSESSMENT IMPLEMENTATION
AND I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY BEFORE GOING INTO THE DETAILS ON THIS SLIDE
BUT IT WAS IN 2020 THAT THE COMMISSION DIRECTED A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND AUTHORIZED THE CREATION OF THE TASK FORCE ON PORT POLICING AND CIVIL RIGHTS
COMMISSIONER CALKINS AND FORMER COMMISSIONER STEINBROOK WERE THE LEADERS WHO PROPOSED AND BROUGHT THE ASSESSMENT TO LIFE
21 CP SOLUTIONS WAS HIRED TO ASSIST THE TASK FORCE
AND 21 CP COMPLETED ITS ASSESSMENT WITH 52 RECOMMENDATIONS
AND SEPTEMBER OF 2021
AND THEN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR METRUCK ESTABLISHED THE POLICING ASSESSMENT IMPLEMENTATION TEAM, OR THE PAIT, WHICH PRIORITIZED THE RECOMMENDATIONS AS LOW, MEDIUM OR HIGH
AND THEN AT THAT POINT THAT WAS HANDED OVER TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHO'S BEEN WORKING ON THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS SINCE THAT TIME
AND THEN IN 2023, AFTER RECEIVING RECEIVING COMMISSION APPROVAL, 21 CP WAS CONTRACTED, WE CONTRACTED WITH THEM AGAIN TO COMPLETE FOUR YEARLY REVIEWS OF IMPLEMENTATION EFFORTS
AND SO WE WOULD THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS COMPLETING THOSE
WE WANTED A THIRD PARTY TO COME IN AND VALIDATE THAT WE WERE ACTUALLY COMPLETING THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS AS WE THOUGHT WE WERE
SO AT THE END OF 2023, 19 OF RECOMMENDATIONS OR 30 WERE IMPLEMENTED
AND THEN IN EARLY 2024, EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE WERE AT 27 OF THE 52 RECOMMENDATIONS
SO WE'RE AT 52% IMPLEMENTED
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE
AND THEN I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE KEY RECOMMENDATIONS
SO THIS IS NOT ALL OF THOSE THAT WERE IMPLEMENTED
BUT THE NEXT TWO SLIDES I'LL JUST HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE'VE COMPLETED
AND THERE WERE SEVERAL RECOMMENDATIONS, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THAT FIRST BULLET POINT AROUND USE OF FORCE
I'LL READ A COUPLE OF THOSE
NOT ALL OF THOSE OF COURSE, TO TAKE FOR SAKE OF TIME, BUT RECOMMENDATION NUMBER 10
THE RECOMMENDATION WAS THAT THE DE ESCALATION POLICY SHOULD BE UPDATED TO MAKE DE ESCALATION ATTEMPTS MANDATORY WHEN POSSIBLE TO DO SO AND TO ADD DE ESCALATION TACTICS
AND SO WE'VE COMPLETED THAT
THAT'S IN OUR POLICY NOW
RECOMMENDATION NUMBER 17 WAS THAT THE PORT OF SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT SHOULD MAXIMIZE ITS TRANSPARENCY BY PUBLISHING DATA AND REPORTS ON ITS WEBSITE AND REGULARLY REPORTING THE INFORMATION TO THE COMMISSION
AND AGAIN, THAT WAS ONE THAT WE'VE COMPLETED
THOSE REPORTS ARE NOW ON OUR WEBSITE
PEOPLE CAN GO THERE AND SEE THAT
I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME CHALLENGES RECENTLY WITH THE CYBER INCIDENT, BUT WHEN THE WEBSITE'S UP, YOU CAN GO AND VIEW THOSE THERE
RECOMMENDATION NUMBER 52 DEALT WITH BODY WORN CAMERAS WHICH WE HAVE NOW FULLY IMPLEMENTED WITH OUR STAFF
AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO MAKE COMMENT HERE THAT WE ARE NOW EXPLORING DASH CAMS FOR OUR PATROL VEHICLES
AND SO WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING AT THOSE AS WELL AS SOME OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
AND THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE FUTURE
RECOMMENDATION NUMBER ONE WAS TO ENSURE THAT WE WERE IMPLEMENTING BEST PRACTICES AND NOT JUST MEETING LEGAL MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
AND SO THEY, A 21 CP IS VALIDATED THAT WE ARE DOING THAT, COMPLETING THAT RECOMMENDATION AS WELL
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO THERE'S TWO MORE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THIS SLIDE
AND AGAIN JUST TO KIND OF GIVE A SAMPLING OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE'VE COMPLETED, RECOMMENDATION 19 WAS IMPLEMENTED
A USE OF FORCE BOARD REVIEWS EVERY USE OF FORCE THAT WE HAVE
IN 2024 YEAR TO DATE WE'VE HAD 16 USE OF FORCE EVENTS
THE EVENTS ARE INVESTIGATED BY THE ON DUTY SERGEANT, THEY'RE REVIEWED BY THAT COMMANDER, THAT'S THEN SENT TO A USE OF FORCE BOARD WHICH IS COMPRISED OF TWO OTHER COMMANDERS NOT IN THE EMPLOYEES CHAIN OF COMMAND, STAFF FROM OUR OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY, OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS OR OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
OTHER SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS WILL PARTICIPATE IN THAT AS WELL
REVIEW ANY VIDEO AND DOCUMENTATION ON THE USE OF FORCE AND THEN THEY MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BUREAU DEPUTY CHIEF
SOME OF THESE ARE COMPLETED WITHOUT ANY POLICY OR ATTORNEY RECOMMENDATIONS
OTHER ONES ARE WE HAD ONE INCIDENT WHERE AN OFFICER WENT HANDS ON WITH AN AGGRESSIVE SUBJECT WHO WAS BRANDISHING SCISSORS THAT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE CAUSED SOME SERIOUS INJURY TO THE OFFICER
OBVIOUSLY VERY DANGEROUS
AND SO WHEN THE BOARD REVIEWED THAT, THEY RECOMMENDED THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME ADDITIONAL TRAINING PROVIDED TO THE OFFICER AND THAT WAS ACCOMPLISH
SO YOU KNOW THE BOARD IS PRODUCING GOOD RESULTS
I GUESS I'LL PUT IT THAT WAY
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO HERE, JUST LOOK FORWARD ON THIS
THERE WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL REPORT THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED IN Q2 OF 2025 AND Q2 OF 2026 BY 21 CP, AGAIN VALIDATING THE WORK THAT WAS DONE
OUR GOAL IS THAT IN 2025, 75% OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE COMPLETED AND THEN 100% COMPLETED IN 2026
NEXT SLIDE
SO THIS IS THE LAST SLIDE ON THIS, BUT JUST LOOKING FORWARD AGAIN
WELL, LOOKING A LITTLE BIT BACK AND FORWARD, BUT WITH THE SO THE OFFICE OF EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION DIRECTOR BOOKTA GEISER AND DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR KAREN GOON AND MYSELF ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO STAND UP AN IMPLEMENTATION REVIEW COMMITTEE THAT WILL BEGIN IN Q4 OF THIS YEAR 2024 AND GO THROUGH 2026
THE ORGANIZATION OF THE COMMITTEE HASN'T BEEN FINALIZED YET, BUT SHOULD INCLUDE PRIOR TASK FORCE MEMBERS, OEDI, PD AND OTHER PORT STAFF
WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF WRITING A CHARTER THAT WILL GIVE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES AND DEFINE THE STRUCTURE AND THE WORKFLOW IN GENERAL
THE WORKFLOW WILL AT LEAST INCLUDE THESE THREE STEPS THAT YOU SEE ON THIS SLIDE, WHICH IS THAT RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED
THEY WILL GO TO 21 CP, WHO THEN DOES THEIR ASSESSMENT, VALIDATES THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS BEING COMPLETED
THEY PRODUCE A REPORT THAT COMES BACK TO THE PORT, AT WHICH TIME THE COMMITTEE THAT WE ARE PUTTING TOGETHER WILL REVIEW THAT REPORT AND PRODUCE A SUMMARY REPORT THAT WILL GO TO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR METRUCK
SO THAT'S THE FLOW RIGHT NOW AS IT STANDS
AGAIN, THERE COULD BE SOME OTHER STEPS IN THERE, BUT JUST WANTED AT LEAST GIVE YOU A QUICK BRIEFING ON WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THAT
AND NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO OUR 2024-26 STRATEGIC PLAN
WE ARE IN YEAR ONE OF OUR THREE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN
THE NEXT TWO SLIDES SHOW IN A VERY CONDENSED FORMAT OUR STRATEGIC GOALS
MUCH THANKS TO MARY VAN BIBER MAREN BURNETT, WHO HELPED US WITH THIS AS WELL, DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GOON FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE WITH THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IN 2023
IN REGARD TO GOALS ONE AND TWO, WE'RE PRESENTLY AT 91% OF OUR AUTHORIZED STAFFING, SO WE'RE NOT TOO FAR OFF FROM THAT PARTICULAR GOAL
GOALS THREE AND SIX INVOLVES THREE THROUGH SIX
I SHOULD SAY THAT INVOLVES OUR WORK AROUND PERSONS IN CRISIS AND REDUCING TRESPASSES OR TRESPASSERS, WHICH WE COVERED A LITTLE BIT EARLIER IN TALKING ABOUT THE CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAM
GOALS 7 THROUGH 8 CENTERS AROUND OUR COMMITMENT TO WORK WITH AVIATION AND MARITIME BUSINESS PARTNERS TO DEVELOP SERVICE LEVELS AND THEN DELIVER
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE STARTED A COUPLE YEARS AGO OF REALLY WORKING WITH THOSE LEADERS, LANCE LITTLE, STEPHANIE JONES STEVENS, THEIR LEADERSHIP TEAMS TO REALLY COLLABORATE AS TO WHAT SERVICES DO THEY WANT FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHAT SERVICES, WHAT EXPERTISE CAN WE OFFER AND DELIVER, TALK ABOUT THE COST OF THOSE SERVICES, WHAT CAN BE AFFORDED AND REALLY JUST A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO HOPEFULLY PRODUCE REALLY THE BEST SERVICES THAT WE CAN AS A POLICE DEPARTMENT TO OUR CUSTOMERS
GOALS 9 THROUGH 10 SPEAKS TO OUR BELIEF THAT COHESION AND ORGANIZATIONAL HEALTH IS REALLY WHAT GIVES LIFE TO STRATEGY AND PRODUCES OUGHT TO SAY WINS AND GREAT RESULTS
YOU CAN HAVE THE BEST STRATEGY IN THE WORLD, YOU CAN HAVE THE BEST OBJECTIVES IN THE WORLD, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE COHESION WITHIN YOUR ORGANIZATION AND A HEALTHY ORGANIZATION TO REALLY DELIVER THE BEST RESULTS
AND THAT'S WHAT THOSE GOALS TAUGHT
TALK TO NEXT SLIDE PLEASE
SO GOALS 11 THROUGH 13 BUILD CAPACITY TO PERFORM A CRITICAL CORE FUNCTION WHICH I MENTIONED EARLIER, WHICH IS TO RESPOND MITIGATE AND STABILIZE ACTS OF TERRORISM AND UNUSUAL OCCURRENCES
WE SENT A TEAM FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND AVIATION SECURITY ALSO JOINED US ON ONE OF OUR TRIPS TO CONDUCT ASSESSMENT OF BEST PRACTICES WITH OTHER US AND UK AIRPORTS
WE HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, METRUCK AND PORT EXECUTIVES AND ARE IN PROCESS OF RESOURCING A NEW HOMELAND SECURITY DIVISION
SO THAT'S AS DAN THOMAS HAD MENTIONED EARLIER, SEVERAL OF THOSE OFFICERS POSITIONS OF THOSE POSITIONS IN OUR BUDGET THAT IS TO RESOURCE THE DIVISION THAT WE ARE PUTTING INTO PLACE AND A THIRD BUREAU AS YOU ALSO SAW IN THE PRESENTATION EARLIER, THAT REALLY WILL ENHANCE OUR ABILITIES IN THIS AREA
AS WE WENT TO THESE OTHER AIRPORTS, LAX, DFW, WE WENT TO HEATHROW AND JFK, OTHER AIRPORTS REALLY LOOKING AT WHAT ARE THE BEST PRACTICES TO PREVENT AND TO MITIGATE THOSE TERRIBLE EVENTS THAT WE DON'T WANT TO THINK OF BUT THAT COULD HAPPEN AT OUR AIRPORT
EVEN AS DAN HAD MENTIONED EARLIER THAT THERE ARE INCREASING THREATS THAT ARE EMERGING AND WE NEED TO BE PREPARED TO ADDRESS THOSE THINGS AND PREVENT THEM FROM OCCURRING HERE
SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT THAT THIRD BUREAU IS ALL ABOUT, WHAT THAT HOMELAND SECURITY DIVISION IS AND ASKING FOR RECEIVING SUPPORT TO REALLY RESOURCE THAT OUT
AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TALK MORE ABOUT THESE CHANGES AND EFFORTS WITH ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS AT A LATER TIME IF YOU WOULD LIKE OR EVEN LATER IN THIS PRESENTATION IF YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT
GOALS 14 THROUGH 19 ADDRESS TECHNOLOGY AND FACILITY NEEDS AND IMPROVEMENTS
GOAL 20 WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED
HOWEVER, I WILL JUST NOTE THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE 21 CP RECOMMENDATIONS, WE REALLY SAW THAT AS THAT'S PART OF OUR OVERALL WORK PLAN
AND SO WE NEEDED TO INCORPORATE IT INTO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND ACCOMPLISH THAT
AND REALLY, ALSO, JUST IN LIGHT OF THAT, YOU KNOW, WE SEE IN THE DEPARTMENT THAT CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT
IT'S WHAT WE DO
AND SO WE WELCOME THAT ASSESSMENT
WE WELCOME THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS
WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AS WE GO INTO THE FUTURE
A NEW GOAL FOR US IS TO BE PREPARED WITH THE REST OF THE PORT FOR THE 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP
OUR HOMELAND SECURITY DIVISION INCLUDES A NEW POSITION, A PLANNER THAT WILL ASSIST WITH THOSE PREPARATIONS
SO THIS CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION
WE INCLUDED AN APPENDIX THAT HAS ADDITIONAL DATA FOR YOUR REFERENCE
YOU ALSO FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN OUR 2023 ANNUAL REPORT THAT IS IN THE PACKET AND AGAIN WILL ALSO BE POSTED ON OUR WEBPAGE AS SOON AS THAT'S POSSIBLE
AND THEN FINALLY, I WANT TO THANK YOU, THE COMMISSIONERS, ON BEHALF OF THE DEPARTMENT, FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND INTEREST IN THE DEPARTMENT IN SECURITY AND IN PUBLIC SAFETY
ANYWAY, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT SUPPORT
I KNOW THE DEPARTMENT DOES AS WELL
SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
THANK YOU, CHIEF
THANKS FOR THIS PRESENTATION AND REPORT OUT
AND THANKS TO YOUR TEAM FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO TO KEEP OUR OPERATIONS SAFE
I WILL NOW OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES
COMMISSIONER HASEGAWA, THANK YOU
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION
I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO IT WITH PARTICULAR INTEREST
AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE REPORT
AND SO INSTEAD OF GUIDING THROUGH THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION SLIDES, I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO REFER TO THE REPORT DIRECTLY
DO YOU HAVE IT IN FRONT OF YOU? I DO, YES
OKAY, GREAT
SO FIRST, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT FOR ME, THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE REPORT IS ALWAYS YOUR EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHTS
AND THESE STORIES ARE INCREDIBLE
THE FIRST ONE THAT YOU LIST WAS FOR SERGEANT ANTHONY KALAHUI, WHO WAS THERE TO FACILITATE THE RETURN OF THE REMAINS OF 54 NATIVE HAWAIIANS WHO WERE STOLEN FROM THEIR LAND AND THEIR ANCESTRAL LAND RETURNED
AND I
IT JUST WAS ABSOLUTELY INSPIRING TO KNOW THAT THE PORT OF SEATTLE COULD HAVE A ROLE IN FACILITATING SOMETHING SO PROFOUND IN SUCH A CULTURALLY SPECIFIC WAY
I JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AYE
STORY AND THANK YOU FOR TELLING IT
AND AS A SPECIAL PURPOSE GOVERNMENT WITH AND INCREDIBLY DIVERSE JURISDICTIONS WITHIN YOUR JURISDICTION, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET, PARTICULARLY AT THE AIRPORT
THE STORIES THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO TELL HERE ARE SO INSPIRING
YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING ABOUT OFFICER MATUSTA AND HOW SHE'S THE FIRST FEMALE BOMB TECHNIQUE AND JUST HOW THAT THE PORT OF SEATTLE IS A PLACE FOR FLAT CEILINGS TO BE BROKEN
I WAS BROUGHT TO TEARS
IT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL FOR ME TO LISTEN TO THE STORY OF TRAFFIC SUPPORT SPECIALIST MARIA VIGUAN STOLTENBERG AND, YOU KNOW, MAKE ME WANT TO KNOW, LIKE, WHAT HAPPENED TO HER HUSBAND AND HOW JUST THE PASSION FOR SERVICE THAT COMES FROM A FAMILY AND THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT STARTED HERE AT THE PORT OF SEATTLE
THERE'S JUST SOME
THERE'S SOME TRUE TREASURES IN HERE
AND THANK YOU FOR USING THIS AS A VEHICLE TO BE ABLE TO TELL STORIES BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, OUR OFFICERS, SWORN AND CIVILIAN, ARE SERVANTS AND THEY'RE ALL JUST PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE WITH A PURPOSE AND
AND THAT'S REALLY SPECIAL
AND SO I'M
I WANTED TO GO THROUGH AND ASK ABOUT THE EXPLOSIVES, THE K9 UNIT
I KNOW ONE OF YOUR BUDGET ACTORS TO EXPAND THE K9 UNIT
I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE NON CALL OUTS FOR BOMB THREATS
AND I'M WONDERING IF THAT'S FOR THE PORT OF SEATTLE PROPER FOR ALL OF VALLEY SWAT THAT WE'RE ASSOCIATED WITH
YEAH, THOSE ARE
SO IT'S A MIX
SO SOME ARE
WILL BE ON OUR PROPERTIES, BUT OTHERS ARE AT OTHER JURISDICTIONS
IT IS A REGIONAL ASSET
AND SO WE HAVE OUR LOCAL AGENCIES, EVEN JUST RECENTLY
I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER IF IT WAS KENT OR TUKWILA
BUT IF THEY FIND A DEVICE, SOMETHING THAT LOOKS SUSPICIOUS, THEY'LL CALL OUR K9S AND WE'LL COME AND DO THAT
WE'LL ALSO AT TIMES SWEEP CERTAIN VENUES OR AREAS THAT MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW, HIGH TARGET LOCATIONS OR POTENTIAL THREAT LOCATIONS
AND SO BUT AS FAR AS, YEAH, THOSE DEVICES GO, SOME OF THAT IS INTERNAL, SOME OF IT IS EXTERNAL
AND ALSO THANK YOU FOR CALLING OUT THE HIGHLIGHTED EMPLOYEES
THAT
THAT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS
ALSO ON THE ANNUAL REPORT AND I LOVE TO SEE IT WHEN JUST ORGANICALLY, YOU HAVE MEMBERS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT GOING BACK TO SERGEANT KALAHUI THAT SEES A NEED
THEY TAKE THE INITIATIVE, THEY WORK WITH OUR STAFF, THEY GALVANIZE OTHERS TO ASSIST AND JUST DO A WONDERFUL JOB FOR US
SO THANKS FOR CALLING THAT OUT
I DO HAVE THOSE
I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, THE SPECIFIC NUMBERS ON THE
HOW MANY OF THOSE WERE ON OUR FACILITIES VERSUS OFF FACILITIES
THAT'S A NUMBER THAT WE CAN ALWAYS GET FOR YOU
OKAY
AND THEN I'M JUST WONDERING WHEN A BOMB THREAT DOES HAPPEN AND IT'S INVOLVED FOR THE SEATTLE PROPERTY, THAT'S IMMEDIATELY REPORTED UP TO DIRECTOR RIDER
YEAH, YEAH, WE COORDINATE THOSE COMMUNICATIONS
ABSOLUTELY
WE HAVE A NOTIFICATION LIST
AND SO THAT'LL GO TO, YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY AVIATION SECURITY DIRECTOR WENDY RYDER, AURA, OTHERS WITHIN THE STAFF
YES, YOU BRIEFLY
I'M LOOKING AT YOUR SESSION ON THE TRAFFIC SUPPORT SPECIALIST
IT MAKES ME JUST WONDER, YOU KNOW THEY OPERATE 365 DAYS A YEAR
I'M WONDERING WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO PREP FOR WORLD CUP
AND THEN I'M ALSO ON ADDITION TO THE CROWD MANAGEMENT SIDE
I'M WONDERING IF YOU COULD JUST EXPAND A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW YOU'RE PLUGGING INTO A CONVERSATION WITH CBP TO MANAGE THE INFLUX OF PEOPLE PASSING THROUGH THE GATEWAY
YEAH, SURE
SO WE HAVE
SO ON THE REGARDING FIFA, WE HAVE REPRESENTATION BOTH ON THE SECURITY AND THE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE'S GROUPS
AND ACTUALLY I'VE GOT DEPUTY CHIEF, NEWLY PROMOTED AS OF YESTERDAY, DEPUTY CHIEF SELECTED FOR THAT PROMOTION
TOM BAILEY IS ON THE CALL AS WELL, AND HE AND AYE
TEAM ARE OVERSEEING OUR ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND PARTNERS WHEN IT COMES TO FIFA, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE PREPARING
ONE OF THE THINGS, I GUESS JUST SPECIFIC TO THE TRAFFIC SUPPORT SPECIALIST, YOU KNOW, PART OF THAT PREPARATION HAS JUST BEEN GETTING THEM UP TO FULL STAFFING
AND SO WE ARE JUST ABOUT AT THAT POINT OF HAVING THEM FULLY STAFFED
AND THAT REALLY HAS TAKEN SOME TIME TO DO THAT OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO
BUT IT KIND OF GOES BACK TO ALL THE EFFORTS THAT ARE BEING MADE BY OUR RECRUITMENT TEAM AND OTHERS TO GET THEM TO THAT POINT AND THEN GIVING THEM SOME TRAINING
AS FAR AS THE TRAFFIC FLOW GOES, I DON'T KNOW THAT I COULD SAY THAT AS OF THAT WE'VE DONE ANYTHING MORE SPECIFIC THAN STAFFING, GIVING THEM THE TRAINING AS FAR AS TRAFFIC IS OR EVEN OTHER THAN ASSISTING US HERE AT THE AIRPORT, YOU KNOW WHAT OTHER ROLE THEY MAY PLAY IN THAT? CERTAINLY THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A HEAVY ROLE WITH TRAFFIC COMING IN AND THEY'RE TRAINED TO DO THAT TRAFFIC CONTROL
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION, BUT YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE AN ADRENALINE SHOT TO OUR REGION AND SOMETHING THAT BEYOND A SCALE THAT WE EVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE THAT'S GOING TO LAST FOR THIS AMOUNT OF TIME
AND I KNOW THAT OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE NOT A PART OF VALLEY SWAT, MAINLY THE CITY OF SEATTLE, ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR POTENTIALLY INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT FOR CROWD MANAGEMENT DIRECTLY
SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S ANY SORT OF MECHANISM WHERE THE LAW ENFORCEMENT ENTITIES ARE TALKING ABOUT SPECIFICALLY TO MEET THE NEED FOR FIFA
NOW THAT WE HAVE SPECIFIC DATES, WE HAVE ITINERARIES FOR WHERE THE GAMES ARE GOING TO BE PLAYED, HOW OFTEN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE CROSSING THE BORDER
THIS IS PART OF WHY I'M ASKING THE QUESTION, BECAUSE NOW IT'S TIME TO START HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS
YEAH, ABSOLUTELY
I WAS IN A MEETING JUST THIS WEEK REGARDING THAT WITH THE TRANSPORTATION GROUP
YEAH, IT'S EITHER THIS WEEK OR END OF LAST WEEK
BUT ANY EVENT, WE ARE TOTALLY ENGAGED IN THOSE MEETINGS AND THEN THE CBP COLLABORATION ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT
WE CARE ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE AN IMPRESSION AND PEOPLE HAVE THE EXPERIENCE COMING THROUGH OUR GATEWAY
SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT
ALSO, I'M ON THE PAGE 13, SORRY, PAGE 23 OF THE REPORT, LOOKING AT THE
THE CID HIGHLIGHTS
AND SO, YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN THE DRUG INTERDICTION WORK BECAUSE THERE'S SUCH A PROLIFERATION OF NARCOTICS GOING THROUGH OUR GATEWAY AND YOU'RE REALLY GROUND ZERO TO BE ABLE TO INTERCEPT AND INTERRUPT THAT UNDERGROUND SUPPLY CHAIN
AND SO I SEE THAT YOU'VE CITED RIGHT YEAR THAT YOU INVESTIGATED A CASE THAT LED TO THE ARREST OF A DRUG TRAFFICKER AND A SEIZURE OF 34 POUNDS OF FENTANYL PILLS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN OUR COMMUNITY
AND YOU FOLLOWED UP ON A PROLIFIC BAG THEFT RESULTING IN FIVE MISDEMEANOR CHARGES AND ONE FELONY CHARGE, RECEPTIVE OF A FIREARM
THAT YOU INVESTIGATED A DRUG TRAFFICKING CASE THAT LED TO THE ARREST OF A DRUG TRAFFICKER AND THE SEIZURE OF 90 POUNDS OF METHOD
I JUST, I DON'T HAVE A
I GUESS MY QUESTION, MY SUGGESTION IS DO YOU HAVE A CHART THAT WILL ACTUALLY DEMONSTRATE THE OVERALL STATS FOR 2023? I THINK THAT'LL BE HELPFUL
AND THE
IT'S SIMILAR TO THE WAY THAT YOU DO IT FOR YOUR USE OF FORCE
BECAUSE I'M INTERESTED TO KNOW OVER TIME HOW, HOW IT'S GOING, WHAT YOU'RE DOING
OH YEAH
HOW MUCH WE'RE ACCEPTING AND WHAT WE'RE ACCEPTING
YEAH, THAT'S EASY TO DO
ABSOLUTELY
AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TELLING THE STORY TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO CONVEY TO THEM WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT TO BE A PART OF OUR PORTFOLIO
IT IS, IT'S COMING THROUGH OUR GATEWAY
IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO INTERACT AND THAT'S PART OF KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY SAFE UPSTREAM BEFORE IT EVEN GETS TO COME THROUGH
AND WE NEED SUPPORT FROM THE LEGISLATURE IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MAXIMIZE THAT ROLE AND THAT RESPONSIBILITY OF OURS
AND SO TO THE EXTENT THAT WE HAVE DATA READILY ACCESSIBLE TO GIVE TO JOHN FLANAGAN TO TAKE TO OUR SENATORS, IT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT
YEAH, I PROVIDE THAT BACK
THE NEXT PAGE IS PAGES 24, 2025 ARE ALL ABOUT HOW, WHAT KIND OF ACTIVITIES OUR PERSONNEL ARE DOING
RIGHT
THEY'RE DOING AREA CHECKS, VEHICLE CHECKS, SUBJECT STOPS
AND YOU TALK A LOT ABOUT HOW WE ARE GROWING OUR WORKFORCE
AND I THINK THAT THE POSD IS REALLY UNIQUE AND EXCITING PLACE TO BE ABLE TO BE AN OFFICER
AND I'M JUST WONDERING, LIKE, I GUESS I WON'T ASK FOR IT NOW, BUT I AM WONDERING WHAT YOUR ONE MINUTE STUNT SPEECH IS WHEN YOU SEE SOMEBODY YOU KNOW THAT IS ON BLEND OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
HOW YOU CONVINCE THEM THAT PORT OF SEATTLE IS THE RIGHT PLACE TO BE
YEAH, OKAY, THAT SOUNDS GOOD
I JUST WANTED TO FLAG
SEE, I ALWAYS ASK TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS IN COMMITTEE BEFOREHAND SO THAT WE CAN SPOT THE LITTLE THINGS LIKE THIS
BUT, CHIEF, ON PAGE 28, THERE'S LITERALLY ALWAYS ONE COPY AND PASTE ERROR IN EVERY REPORT
AND I ALWAYS FIND IT
IT'S LIKE AN EASTER EGG
AND I JUST GOT IT, YOU KNOW, AND I FIND IT
IT'S THE THIRD PARAGRAPH DOWN ON PAGE 28
AND IT'S JUST A REPETITION OF WHAT YOU SAY IN PARAGRAPH ONE
SO SORRY
OKAY, THANK YOU
WISH WE DID IT IN COMMITTEE
SORRY
WHAT ABOUT
OH, OFFICER TIMOTHY DAHLSTROM AND AYE
STORY AND WHAT HE DOES IN
AS A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, AS A FORMER TEACHER CALLED TO SERVICE AS AN OFFICER IS EXACTLY WHAT WE IN THE WORLD NEED MORE OF IN POLICING
I WANTED TO ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THE EMPLOYEE WELLNESS PROGRAM, BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COMMUNITY SAFETY, A LOT OF THAT LEADS TOWARDS, WELL, OFFICERS
AN OFFICER THAT IS OVERWORKED, EXHAUSTED, GRIEVING OR STRESSED IS NOT GOING TO BE ANY GOOD IN SERVICE TO ANYBODY ELSE
LIKE I SAID, THEY'RE JUST HUMANS
IS
AND SO THAT YOU ARE PROMOTING THAT AND TRACKING FOLKS GOING THROUGH THAT, IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE SAME WAY WE URGE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR METRUCK TO TAKE AYE
VACATION TIME
IT'S THE SAME THING
WE'RE URGING OUR OFFICERS TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES FIRST
SO I JUST WANT TO LIFT THAT UP AND HONOR THAT
YEAH, THANK YOU
PAGE 32
WHAT'S OC SPRAY? THAT WOULD BE THE SAME THING AS PEPPER SPRAY
OH, YEAH
THERE WERE 10 INCIDENTS OF THAT IN 2020
SO I WAS JUST WONDERING BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY INCIDENTS WITH THAT THEREAFTER
BUT THERE WAS NO POLICY CHANGE
IT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED
IT WAS JUST THE TIMES IN 2020
YEAH, THERE'S NO POLICY CHANGE
AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT THOSE
WHAT THOSE USES WERE
WELL, I THINK I DO KNOW
THAT WAS 2020
WE
YES, THAT WAS SO DURING THE PROTESTS THAT WE HAD, WE HAD A LOT DURING THAT TIME PERIOD THAT WAS AN ANOMALY THAT YEAR BECAUSE OF THOSE PROTESTS
AND SO THERE WAS A LOT MORE USES OF OC FOR CROWD CONTROL
SO THAT WAS GEORGE FLOYD DURING THAT YEAR
DURING THAT PERIOD
SO REALLY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER YEARS, LIKE YOU SAID, 2023, WE HAD ZERO OC USES
AND WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF OC SPRAY DEPLOYMENTS
WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE THOSE NECESSARILY IN THE AIRPORT AND IN CROWDED AREAS LIKE THAT
AND SO THAT'S WHY THERE WAS THAT NUMBER IN 20
JUST WONDERING WHERE MY IN REPORTABLE FORCE EVENTS WHERE IT'S GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY IS IN OTHER PHYSICAL CONTROL
ZERO REPORTS IN 20 AS OPPOSED TO 19 REPORTS IN 2023
AN EXAMPLE OF THAT WOULD BE PINNING SOMEBODY OR JOINT MANIPULATION
AND SO JUST WONDERING IF YOU CAN JUST TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT TREND AND WHY IT'S STILL GROWING
YEAH
SO THE OTHER THING WITH 2020 THAT WAS KIND OF UNIQUE, I MEAN YOU STILL HAD OTHER EVENTS BUT EVEN LIKE
YES, ACTUALLY LET ME BACK UP ON THAT
I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE'S ZERO IN 2020
IF THAT WAS A CHANGE IN HOW WE WERE REPORTING THOSE OUT, I'D HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT MORE
THOSE OTHER NUMBERS THAT WE SEE IN 21, 22 AND 23 AND WE'VE LOOKED AT, WE ALSO DO AN ANALYSIS WHERE OUR OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY WILL LOOK AT ALL THESE DIFFERENT CASES AND SEE ARE THERE ANY TRENDS, ANYTHING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT FURTHER OR HAVE ANY OTHER ISSUES WITH
AND REALLY IN DOING THAT ANALYSIS, YOU KNOW, THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY POPPED OUT FOR US WAS THE TASER INCREASE THAT WE HAD IN 2023
THE OTHER NUMBERS WERE ACTUALLY FAIRLY NORMAL NUMBERS, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY
AND ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE DOING THAT OTHER PHYSICAL CONTROL BEING A FAIRLY LOW LEVEL USE OF FORCE
BUT I CAN LOOK INTO THAT AS FAR AS WHY THERE'S ZERO IN 2020
WELL, IT'S NOT REPORTED ON AT ALL IN THE 2022 ANNUAL REPORT
IT'S ACTUALLY LINE ITEM THAT OMITTED
AND SO THAT'S A NEW ONE
AND NEW
AND THAT IS INCLUDED THIS YEAR DEMONSTRATES THAT YEAR OVER YEAR 2020 WAS ZERO
2021 IS 11, 2022 IS 18
AND IT'S
AND 202023 IT WAS
IT WAS 19
AND SO JUST INTO INTERESTED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT
SURE
CONTINUE TO BE INCLUDED
MORE INFORMATION IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED
YOU ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS REPORTABLE FORCE EVENT CITIZEN COMPLAINTS FROM FORCE USED
ZERO COMPLAINTS USED TO RELATED TO FORCE SPECIFICALLY
WHAT I'M NOT FINDING IN THIS REPORT IS MISCONDUCT COMPLAINTS FOR ALLEGATIONS
AND THE REASON WHY I THINK THAT INFORMATION INFORMATION IS INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT
WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE IS MISCONDUCT COMPLAINTS FREQUENTLY COME FROM OTHER OFFICERS AS A MECHANISM TO HOLD THEIR COLLEAGUES ACCOUNTABLE
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE OBSERVED
AND SO TO KNOW MISCONDUCT COMPLAINTS AND THAT INFORMATION BEING REPRESENTED IN A PUBLIC DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT IS THAT THE INFORMATION THAT YOU'RE SAYING IS ACTUALLY IT IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE, BUT IN
ON THE WEB PAGE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY BROKEN
SO THE USE OF FORCE REPORT IS CONTAINED
YEAH, BUT WE
YEAH, WE DON'T HAVE THAT ON OUR
ON OUR WEBSITE
YOU
WHERE
WHERE ARE WE FOLLOWING MISCONDUCT COMPLAINTS AND HOW DO WE HAVE TRANSPARENCY INTO THAT? YEAH, SO THAT'S
SO OUR OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY
I MEAN, THAT'S WHERE WE
WHERE WE KEEP THE MISCONDUCT COMPLAINTS
WE HAVEN'T
WE HAVE NOT AT THIS POINT IN TIME PUT ANY OF THAT OUT ON THE WEBPAGE
BUT IT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT OR IN THE ANNUAL REPORT
JUST SOME MECHANISM FOR PUBLIC VISIBILITY AND MISCONDUCT COMPLAINTS
INVESTIGATIONS INTO MISCONDUCT COMPLAINTS, WHETHER THEY'RE SUSTAINED OR NOT
AND THE ONES THAT AREN'T SUSTAINED, THE REASON WHY, I MEAN, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT MATTER
YEAH
PARTICULARLY AS A COMMISSIONER, WHEN I HEAR THINGS ALSO
AND SO IT'S JUST
IT'S HELPFUL FOR ME TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRACKING
SURE
YEAH
OKAY
WE NEED MISS
WE NEED MISS COMPLAINT
WE NEED COMPLAINT INFORMATION
AND NOT JUST THAT
I MEAN, IT'S NOT ABOUT COMPLAINTS
IT'S ALSO ABOUT COMMENDATION
FILE COMPLAINTS
YOU CAN FILE COMMENDATIONS
I WANT VISIBILITY INTO THAT
PEOPLE ARE COMPELLED ALL THE TIME TO COMMEND OFFICERS FOR THE TREMENDOUS WORK AND THE IMPACT THEY'VE HAD IN THEIR LIFE
I WANT TO KNOW
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT
YEAH, WE HAVE ALL THAT DATA
IT SHOULD BE SHARED
ALL RIGHT, SOUNDS GOOD
PAGE 33, YOU TALK ABOUT USE OF FORCE
SUBJECTS BY RACE DEMONSTRATES THAT 68% OF THE SUBJECTS THAT HAD FORCE USED AGAINST THEM ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR
AND IT DEMONSTRATES THE RACE OF THE WORKFORCE
AND SO I WANT TO HAVE A CONTINUED CONVERSATION ABOUT
WELL, I'LL JUST SUMMARIZE AND SAY IT'S HELPFUL TO HAVE THIS SET UP
IT'S GOOD INFORMATION FOR US TO HAVE THE NEXT PAGE
ALL RIGHT, SO THE NEXT PAGE TALKS ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY PARTNERSHIPS AND VALLEY PARTNERSHIPS
THE PORT OF SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS ONE OF SEVEN PARTNER AGENCIES IN THE SOUTH KING COUNTY VALLEY REGION, INCLUDING AUBURN, DES MOINES, FEDERAL WAY, KENT RENT IN CHILLA, THE PORT OF SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT
IT'S A MUTUAL AID SITUATION
IS THE VALLEY PARTNERSHIP LIKE A FORMAL ASSOCIATION, OR IS VALLEY SWAT YOUR ONLY FORMAL ASSOCIATION? YEAH, SO WE
SO THERE IS AN INTERLOCAL WITH SEVERAL OF THESE, WITH SOME OF THESE TEAMS SO VALLEY SWAT, THERE'S AN ACTUAL INTERLOCAL WITH THOSE AGENCIES
VALLEY CIVIL DISTURBANCE UNIT IS MUTUAL AID
THERE'S NOT NECESSARILY AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THOSE
BUT THAT IS A REGIONAL TEAM
BUT THAT'S BASED ON MUTUAL AID
VALLEY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS TEAM, SAME THING
THERE'S NOT AN INTERLOCAL
ACTUALLY, I MIGHT HAVE TO ASK ON THAT
I THINK WE DO HAVE AN INTERLOCAL FOR
EXCUSE ME FOR VALLEY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS TEAM
SO THERE'S A COUPLE THAT YOU KNOW, JUST BASED ON HOW THEY'RE STRUCTURED, IT WAS BETTER FOR US TO DO THAT WITH AN INTERLOCAL
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE STARTING TO SHARE SOME ASSETS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE
AND THEN THERE'S OTHERS THAT ARE MUTUAL AID WHICH I THINK IS REALLY JUST VALLEY CIVIL DISTURBANCE UNIT
THEY DO, WE DO SHARE THOUGH A POLICY MANUAL ON THAT TEAM
SO WE'VE AGREED TO DO THAT
AND THERE IS AN EXECUTIVE BOARD THAT OVERSEES THOSE POLICIES, PRACTICES, ANY CALL OUTS AND DEPLOYMENTS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE
I'M ACTUALLY THE CHAIR FOR VALLEY CIVIL SERVICE UNIT EXECUTIVE BOARD AS WELL AS VALLEY SWAT IN HOUSES NEGOTIATIONS TEAM
AWESOME
SO YOU
AND IN THAT YOU LIKE
THEY LOAN OFFICERS TO EACH OTHER AND CALL OUT TO SITUATIONS WHERE THEY NEED AID AND SUPPORT
THE OFFICERS KNOW EACH OTHER AND THEY, YOU KNOW
YEAH, THAT'S CORRECT
THEY ALL TRAIN TOGETHER AND THEN WHEN THERE'S A CALL OUT THEY WILL DEPLOY
RELATIONSHIP
YES, YES
SO FOR VALLEY SWAT AND AS CHAIR HOW ARE BUDGET DECISIONS MADE? YEAH
SO WITH VALLEY SWAT BECAUSE OF THE CONNECTION THAT THEY HAVE TO DRUGS AND NARCOTICS, THAT TEAM IS SUPPORTED FROM OUR
FOR PORT OF SEATTLE
WE SUPPORT THAT TEAM
NOT SALARIES AND BENEFITS
THAT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE REGULAR OFFICERS
THAT'S AN EXTRA DUTY THEY HAVE BUT EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING
SOME OF THOSE OTHER THINGS
WE SUPPORT THAT WITH OUR DRUG INTERDICTION FORFEITURE FUNDS
HOW DO, HOW ARE, HOW ARE INVESTMENTS INTO SHARED ASSETS TRACKED? YEAH
SO THE
SO ANY SHARED
SO EVERY ASSET IS ACTUALLY OWNED BY ONE OF THE AGENCIES AND SO IT'S AN INTERLOCAL
BUT WE'RE NOT AN ENTITY, WE'RE NOT A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY
SO VALLEY SWAT ACTUALLY CAN'T OWN ITS OWN PROPERTY OR ASSETS
OKAY
OKAY
AND THEN FOR VALLEY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS TEAM IT WAS FORMED IN 2012, THIS IS PRE 9:40 AND IT INVESTIGATES ALL OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTINGS OR OTHER DEADLY FORCE INCIDENTS THAT RESULT IN GREAT BODILY OR SERIOUS HARM
GREAT BODILY OR SERIOUS BODILY HARM OR DEATH
SO THE 940 IN ITS IMPLEMENTATION REQUIRES THAT AN ENTITY OUT THAT IT BEING AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION INTO SOMETHING LIKE THAT
YES, BUT BECAUSE OF THE VALLEY PARTNERSHIP AND BECAUSE WHERE YOU DO MUTUAL AID, THEY GO THROUGH TRAINING TOGETHER
YOU CALL OUT TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER, YOU SHARE RESOURCES
WE BUY ASSETS AFTER ASSESSING A GROUP NEED
THAT'S A VERY CLEAR RELATIONSHIP
THE IDEA OF AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION IS TO ELIMINATE BIAS
I THINK THAT WE NEED A LEGAL REVIEW OF VALLEY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS TEAM BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SEEM TO ME THAT THAT'S COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW AND WHAT'S EXPECTED BY THE PUBLIC
YEAH, WE CAN
I MEAN, WE COULD HAVE PORT TAKE A LOOK AT THAT FROM A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE
ONE THING I WILL SAY ON THAT IS THAT WHEN THAT TEAM DEPLOYS TO AN AGENCY, LET'S SAY FEDERAL WAY, HAS A SHOOTING, IS THAT NONE OF THEIR DETECTIVES WILL BE ON THAT TEAM
SO THEY'LL ABSENT RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM ANY OF THAT INVESTIGATION AND THEN THEY WILL INVESTIGATE IT
AND OUR TEAM AND WE ABSOLUTELY
LEGAL REVIEW, WE CAN HAVE LEGAL TAKE A LOOK AT IT
BUT I DO WANT TO JUST PUT A PLUG IN FOR THAT TEAM THAT I THINK WE ARE ONE OF THE MODEL AGENCIES
WE'RE ONE OF THE FIRST TEAMS IN THE STATE AND OTHER TEAMS HAVE COME TO US TO LOOK AT OUR POLICIES, OUR PROCEDURES, HOW ARE WE DOING THINGS
AND EVEN THE STATE AS THEY'VE SET UP THE INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION TEAM, THEY DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY RIGHT NOW TO GO OUT AND DO THESE INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS
THAT IS THE GOAL
THAT IS, THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE THAT OVER AT SOME POINT IN TIME DOWN THE ROAD
THEY JUST STARTED DOING THAT IN A COUPLE COUNTIES, BUT THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO DO IT YET WITH US
AND WE HAVE ONE OF THE CHIEFS, TUCK, WILLA AND THEIR COMMANDER, THEY SIT ON A COMMITTEE WITH THE STATE IIT TO BASICALLY LOOK AT BEST PRACTICES AND WHAT ARE WE DOING
AND SO ANYWAY, THERE WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD TEAM, I'LL SAY THAT
BUT CERTAINLY OUR PORT LEGAL COULD
I DON'T WANT TO VOLUNTEER LEGAL SERVICES, BUT I THINK WE COULD EASILY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT
OH, I WILL, I WILL
AND I THINK THAT WE DO NEED TO REVIEW THAT
I SEE THAT YOU ALSO MENTIONED THE OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY
I'M JUST WONDERING, AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INVESTIGATIONS, THERE'S NO SUMMARY OF LIKE INVESTIGATIVE REVIEWS THAT HAVE OCCURRED
I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME
OR THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF SUMMARY OF QUALITY OF INVESTIGATIONS FROM OPA
YEAH, SURE
THEY'RE A
OF POLICING THROUGH ACCOUNTABILITY AND OVERSIGHT
AND SO THEIR SUMMARY, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A SEPARATE ACTION THAT I NEED TO REQUIRE OF THEM, BUT THAT INFORMATION IS ALSO HELPFUL BECAUSE IT DEMONSTRATES THE OBJECTIVITY OF YOUR INVESTIGATIONS AND THE QUALITY OF THOSE INVESTIGATIONS AND TELLS THE PUBLIC THAT STORY
AND I VALUE THAT A LOT
AND SO, YEAH, IT FITS IN WITH WHAT YOU WERE SAYING EARLIER ABOUT MISCONDUCT, BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THE MISCONDUCT COMPLAINTS GO TO OPA
NOW, THEY MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE INVESTIGATED BY THAT SERGEANT
IT COULD GO TO SOMEONE ELSE IN THE DEPARTMENT OR IT COULD GO TO WORKPLACE RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THEM
AND SO I THINK WE CAN HAVE SOME MORE DISCUSSIONS AS FAR AS WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? AND IF WE DID THAT REPORTING AGAIN, WHAT WOULD THE TEMPLATE OR THE FORMAT OF THAT LOOK LIKE? AND THEN HOW DO WE GET THAT OUT? SO I APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS
THANK YOU FOR RECEIVING THEM WITH A GOOD HEART
I'M COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE HOLDING OURSELVES TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD BECAUSE I HAVE TRUST IN IT AND I HAVE FAITH IN IT, AND IT'S GOING TO TELL A GOOD STORY
AND IF IT DEMONSTRATES TRENDS WHERE WE CAN IMPROVE, THEN WE WANT TO KNOW THAT, TOO
ALL OF IT IS TOOLS TOWARDS GREATNESS
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, YOU DO A POLICING ASSESSMENT, YOU TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE 52 RECOMMENDATIONS, REVIEW BY 21 CP ABOUT OUR PROGRESS THUS FAR
BY THE END OF 2023, THEY REVIEWED 20 RECOMMENDATIONS OUT OF THE 52 AND FOUND THAT 19 OF THOSE WERE SATISFACTORILY MET
AFTER COMPLETING THE NEXT REVIEW IN EARLY 20, THE REPORT INDICATED THAT 27 OF THE 52 RECOMMENDATIONS HAD BEEN IMPLEMENTED
THAT'S 52%
WE HAD REQUESTED SPECIFICALLY THAT THE OFFICE OF EQUITY DIVERSITY INCLUSION BE INVOLVED IN THAT REVIEW TO BE ABLE TO ADVISE AS WELL
AND THIS IS ABSENT THEIR REVIEW OR THEIR ASSESSMENT
I KNOW THAT WORK IS VERY MUCH IN MOTION AND UNDERWAY
I HAVE GREAT INTEREST IN KNOWING WHAT DIRECTOR GAISAR AND HER TEAM'S CONTRIBUTIONS AND THOUGHTS ARE
HOW WILL WE BE RECEIVING THAT INFORMATION FROM THEM? YEAH
SO
AND I'LL BACK UP A LITTLE BIT, IF I MAY, JUST ALSO TO ADVISE THAT
SO EVEN PRIOR TO PART OF 21 CP'S ASSESSMENT IS THAT THEY WILL INTERVIEW STAKEHOLDERS AND
AND SO THEY DID HAVE MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS WITH DIRECTOR GAIZAR AND WITH OEDI PRIOR TO THEIR FINALIZATION OF THAT REPORT
SO THERE WAS OPPORTUNITY CERTAINLY TO ENGAGE
BUT WHAT THE PROCESS IS RIGHT NOW, WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THESE DETAILS, IS THAT ONCE THEY PROVIDE THEIR REPORT TO US LIKE THEY DID WITH THEIR JULY REPORT, IS THAT THAT COMMITTEE WILL COME TOGETHER, WE'LL REVIEW, REVIEW AND LOOK AT THE REPORT, DO AN ASSESSMENT OF IT, AND THEN A REPORT WILL COME OUT FROM THAT COMMITTEE THAT WILL AT THIS POINT, FIRST GO TO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR METRUCK, SO REPORTING UP TO AYE., AND THEN I BELIEVE HE'LL THEN SHARE IT WITH THE COMMISSION
BUT AGAIN, WE'RE WORKING THOSE DETAILS OUT RIGHT NOW AS WE DRAFT THAT CHARTER
I JUST WANT TO CLOSE OUT BY SAYING THAT THERE'S SOME REALLY BEAUTIFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS OF FOLKS WHO HAVE DEMONSTRATED LEADERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN PROMOTED THROUGH THE RANKS AND FOLKS WHO'VE BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED AND FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS WITH AWARDS, SHOUT OUT TO OFFICER OF THE YEAR HELEN BELAIR AS WELL, AS THE NON SWORN EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR, SOLDIERS OF THE MISSION, MIKE NAKSAYAKAN, SCOTT COLBY, MARIA VINLAND STOLTENBERG AND DINA SILBERBERG
CONGRATULATIONS AND A VERY SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO DAN BREED, WHO WAS A COLLEAGUE OF MINE IN THE SAUDI UNIVERSITY MASTER'S PROGRAM
SO PROUD TO SEE AYE
CONTINUE TO BE RECOGNIZED AS I KNOW HE WAS FORMERLY RECOGNIZED AS OFFICER OF THE YEAR AND CERTAINLY NOT LAST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST THE LIFE SAVING EFFORT APPLIED BY OFFICER NICK BLEVINS, OFFICER TANNER, ENTER OFFICER MOLLY DONAHUE, OFFICER SMITHY GALTROM AND OFFICER JESSE PETERSON
AND IN FEBRUARY THEY WERE ABLE TO RESUSCITATE AND SAVE THE LIFE OF SOMEBODY WHO WAS EXPERIENCING A SERIOUS EVENT AT THE AIRPORT
I'D ALSO LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE OFFICER TREVOR FRUDEL WHO ON JULY 8 RESUSCITATED THE LIFE OF SOMEBODY IN AIRPORT DRIVE
AND THEN I'D ALSO LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE OFFICER RENFRED KAPULI WHO IN SEPTEMBER 15 RESUSCITATED IN THE SAFE LIFE OF A PERSON IN THE AIRPORT TERMINAL
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK
IT'S LITERALLY LIFE SAVING
WE APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU'RE DOING AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES ONLY BECOME MORE CHALLENGING
YOU'VE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND EVER SINCE THE CYBER INCIDENT
SO I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROFESSIONALISM AND NAME THE FE THAT WE'VE GOT FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY FELT COMPLETELY UNFAZED THAT OPERATIONS WENT WELL AND THAT ALL THE WHILE NOBODY'S SECURITY, NOBODY'S SAFETY WAS EVER COMPROMISED
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO
THANK YOU
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER HASEGAWA, FOR YOUR THOUGHTFUL QUESTIONS AND KEEN INTEREST IN THIS AREA
YOU LITERALLY WALKED US THROUGH THE ENTIRE REPORT AND SO WE APPRECIATE THAT AND YOU MADE SOME VALID, INSIGHTFUL POINTS AND I HOPE THE CHIEF HAS TAKEN SOME REALLY GOOD NOTES AND IS GOING TO FOLLOW UP ON THOSE
COMMISSIONER CHO, DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I DID WANT TO JUST QUICKLY THANK YOU BE A DIPONEMENT FOR ALL THE TREMENDOUS WORK THAT YOU ALL DO TO KEEP US SAFE HERE AT THE PORT OF SEATTLE
I TEND TO SAY THIS, MAYBE I SAY THIS EVERY YEAR, BUT PEOPLE DON'T RECOGNIZE OR APPRECIATE, FULLY APPRECIATE THE DIFFICULTIES AND THE UNIQUENESS OF THE PORT OF SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT
AS YOU KNOW AND AS MANY IN THIS MEETING KNOW THAT WE HAVE BOTH BEEN THE RIGHT TIME IN AVIATION FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE TO MANAGE, WHICH PRESENTS A UNIQUE SET OF CHALLENGES AND QUITE FRANKLY, UNIQUE SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT OUR OFFICERS HAVE TO TRAIN FOR
AND I DO THINK WHILE THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT, AS COMMISSIONER HAZUKAWA HAS HIGHLIGHTED, I DO THINK THAT WE ARE ONE OF THE BEST
AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A HUGE PART BECAUSE OF THE GREAT LEADERSHIP THAT YOU HAVE DEMONSTRATED SINCE YOU'VE BECOME CHIEF, BUT ALSO BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME REALLY AMAZING OFFICERS
I'M ALWAYS APPRECIATIVE OF HOW FRIENDLY AND CORDIAL OUR OFFICES ARE, HOW HARD THEY WORK AND THE SERVICES THAT GO BEYOND JUST TRADITIONAL POLICING
AND SO BIG KUDOS AND PROPS TO YOU, CHIEF VIA, AS WELL AS THE DEPARTMENT
I'M SO GRATEFUL AND APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE GREAT WORK YOU ALL DO AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SUPPORTING ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO CONTINUE TO HELP THIS DEPARTMENT TO GROW AND BE AND REMAIN BEST IN CLASS
THANK YOU
THANK YOU, CHIEF
THAT IS IT FOR NOW
AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THE REPORT AND THE INFORMATION TODAY
THANK YOU
ABSOLUTELY
I'M GOING TO MOVE US ALONG IN OUR AGENDA FOR THE DAY
WELL, THAT CONCLUDES ACTUALLY OUR BUSINESS AGENDA FOR THE DAY
THIS IS THE TIME FOR ANY CLOSING COMMENTS
ARE THERE ANY MOTIONS RELATED TO COMMITTEE FROM COMMISSIONERS? I THINK WE HAD ONE REFERRAL ALREADY, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S OTHERS
COMMISSIONERS, THEM
I JUST HAVE SOME CLOSING COMMENTS JUST AFTER, REAL BRIEFLY
YEAH, GO FOR IT, COMMISSIONER CHO
AND THEN I'LL GO TO COMMISSIONER HASEGAWA AND THEN I WILL SEND IT BACK TO DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR KUN IF SHE HAS ANY CLOSING COMMENTS AS WELL
GO FOR IT
YEAH, JUST REAL QUICKLY
I'M HERE IN SOUTH KOREA ATTENDING THE BUSAN INTERNATIONAL POOR CONFERENCE
I'M ACTUALLY HERE WITH EXECUTIVE OF DIRECTOR METRUCK
I SPOKE AT THIS CONFERENCE YESTERDAY AND ACTUALLY DIRECTOR METRUCK IS SCHEDULED TO SPEAK THIS MORNING, SO HE'S GETTING AYE
BEAUTY REST SO THAT HE'S RESTED FOR AYE
LITTLE SPEECH
BUT IT'S BEEN A REALLY GOOD CONFERENCE
WE ACTUALLY ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO UP TO THE PORT OF UZAN, WHICH IS A LITTLE FURTHER UP NORTH FROM BUSAN, WHERE THEY ARE DOING A LOT OF EXCITING STUFF AROUND SUSTAINABLE FUELS
THEY'RE ALREADY BUNKERING METHANOL AND LNG AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY PLANNING TO START BUNKERING AMMONIA BY 2026, WHICH IS EXTREMELY FAST
AND AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, WE ARE CURRENTLY UNDERWAY DOING A FEASIBILITY STUDY BETWEEN SOUTH KOREA AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON A GREEN CORRIDOR
AND SO WE HAD SOME REALLY PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH PORT OF BUSAN AND OBVIOUSLY WITH THE PORT OF BUSAN
AND I THINK WE CAN EXPECT SOME REALLY COOL COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIPS GOING FORWARD IN THE FORM OF POTENTIAL MOU BETWEEN THE PORTS OF UZAN, BUSAN, SEATTLE AND TACOMA AND THE ALLIANCE
SO VERY FUN, INTERESTING, EXCITING DEVELOPMENTS HERE
SO HONORED TO BE HERE TO REPRESENT THE PORT AS WELL AS SOME MORE QUESTIONS
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER CHO, FOR THAT UPDATE FROM SOUTH KOREA
AND I HOPE YOU AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR METRUCK TRAVEL SAFELY
AND THANKS FOR REPRESENTING US SO WELL, COMMISSIONER HAFIDAWA
OKAY
NO, THANK YOU
ALL RIGHT, DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GOON, ANY CLOSING COMMENTS? JUST WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THE PASSAGE OF FORMER GOVERNOR DANIEL J
EVANS, A TOWERING FIGURE HERE IN WASHINGTON STATE GOVERNMENT POLITICS AND THE NAMESAKE AND INSPIRATION FOR THE EVANS SCHOOL OF PUBLIC POLICY
I RECOGNIZE THAT MANY OF YOU PROBABLY WEREN'T ALIVE WHEN HE WAS GOVERNOR, BUT HE REMAINS A PARAGON OF CIVILITY AND BIPARTISANSHIP FOR ALL OF US GOVERNMENT POLICY WONKS
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
COMMISSIONERS
TODAY, CAN I JUST ALSO TAKE A POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GOVERNOR DAN EVANS WAS THE ONE WHO SIGNED INTO LAW THE ENABLING LEGISLATION IN 1974 ESTABLISHING THE WASHINGTON STATE COMMISSION ON ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICAN AFFAIRS
HE'S ALSO THE REASON THAT THERE EXISTS A COMMISSION ON AFRICAN AMERICAN AFFAIRS, COMMISSION ON HISPANIC AFFAIRS, AND THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE ON INDIAN AFFAIRS FOR KEY POINTS OF ENTRY FOR COMMUNITIES OF COLOR FROM HISTORICALLY EXCLUDED COMMUNITIES TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE STATE
AND SO THAT EXISTS TO THIS DAY, THANKS TO AYE
LEADERSHIP AND AYE
APPRECIATION OF THAT
AND WE MOURN AYE
LOSS
THANK YOU, DEPUTY
I WAS GOING TO SAY GOVERNOR, ACTUALLY, DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GOON AND COMMISSIONER HASEGAWA FOR THOSE COMMENTS
AND WE ALSO EXTEND OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO AYE
FAMILY AS WELL
THANK YOU BOTH
SO I WILL MOVE US ALONG
I WANTED TO MAKE A QUICK CLOSING COMMENT AS WELL
I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU
I'M GOING TO SPOTLIGHT ONE OF OUR AMAZING STAFF MEMBERS, CLERK HART, THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPERTISE AND PROFESSIONALISM TODAY
I KNOW WE ARE IN A UNIQUE SORT OF VIRTUAL SPACE AND IT TOOK A LOT OF WORK TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN
WE TRANSITIONED FROM PLANNING AN IN PERSON MEETING TO A VIRTUAL MEETING
AND IT ALWAYS GOES REALLY SMOOTHLY, BUT IT DEFINITELY TAKES A LOT OF WORK TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN
AND I HAD TO MAKE TO MAKE THAT DECISION TODAY DUE TO SOME QUORUM ISSUES
WE HAVE THREE OF OUR COMMISSIONERS TRAVELING AND THIS VIRTUAL SPACE REALLY DID MAKE IT A LOT EASIER FOR US, ESPECIALLY WITH THE STAFF PRESENTATIONS
IT WAS JUST A MORE EFFECTIVE WAY OF MEETING
AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO CLERK HART AND TO YOUR TEAM FOR MAKING THAT HAPPEN
WE HAD A SUCCESSFUL MEETING
AND SO WITH THAT SAID, COMMISSIONERS HEARING NO FURTHER COMMENTS AND HAVING NO FURTHER BUSINESS
IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS, WE WILL ADJOURN THIS MEETING
AND THE TIME IS NOW 3:24PM THANK YOU ALL.
