BRIEFING ITEM Date of Meeting April 10, 2018 DATE: April 2, 2018 TO: Executive Director Stephen P. Metruck FROM: Michael Ehl, Director Aviation Operations Jeffrey Hoevet, Senior Manager Airport Operations SUBJECT: Airport Drives Traffic Enhancement Briefing EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sea-Tac’s roadway system was designed in the late 1960s when the Airport facilitated the movement of 5 million annual guests. Replacement of the original return-to-terminal loops, immediately adjacent the parking garage, with the South 160th Street recirculation loop in 2008 assisted in removing some 40% of recirculating traffic from the inner drives, and effectively expanding the projected practical capacity of the system beyond its saturation at 40 million annual guests which was forecast in 2016-2017. Given Sea-Tac’s record 40 percent growth in passengers between 2012 and 2017, the roadway system is again strained in peak operating periods, regularly resulting in stop and go conditions on the inbound/southbound lanes of the Northern Airport Expressway. While these conditions historically affected Arrivals/Lower Drive traffic and were limited to nighttime holiday peak periods, 2017 saw the emergence of impacts spread more broadly across the operating day, to include daytime impacts to the Departures/Upper drives. Equally dynamic in nature has been the changing mode split for ground transportation options available to Airport patrons. In particular, the introduction of Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) to Sea-Tac in 2016 drastically altered the volume of vehicles using the roadway system as necessitated by the transit from remote holding lots to the customer pick- up area on the third floor of the…

ACTION ITEM Date of Meeting April 10, 2018 DATE: March 23, 2018 (Memo Revised April 9, 2018) TO: Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director FROM: Dave McFadden, Managing Director, Economic Development Division Ron Peck, Director, Tourism Development Department SUBJECT: 2018 Tourism Marketing Support Program Summary ACTION REQUESTED Request Commission authorization of the 2018 tourism grant program and authority for the Executive Director to execute all related contract agreements. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Applications for the 2018 Tourism Marketing partnership program have been reviewed and staff is recommending the Port fund 26 projects from across Washington State. Staff will highlight these new initiatives and briefly review program results over the last two years. Tourism Marketing Support Recipients The Port of Seattle advances tourism in Washington State by implementing an annual partnership program with local destination marketing organizations. The matching funds program facilitates tourism development and growth across the state by promoting use of Port facilities. In 2018 the Port of Seattle received 45 applications for funding to support local tourism projects. Staff reviewed the applications and recommended 26 receive funding. The overall intent of the program is to provide matching support of up to $10,000 each to local communities, destination marketing organizations, ports, chambers of commerce, tribal organizations and non-profits to promote their destinations to visitors traveling to our state. The funds must be used for advertising, publicizing, promoting or distributing information to attract visitors to the destination. The program requires a two to one match; that is, for every POS dollar invested, the…

ACTION ITEM Date of Meeting April 10, 2018 DATE: April 3, 2018 TO: Executive Director Stephen P. Metruck FROM: Elizabeth Leavitt, Senior Director, Environment and Sustainability Christina Billingsley, Environmental Engagement, Public Affairs Sally del Fierro, Director, Community Engagement ACTION REQUESTED Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to execute an amendment with a local community health organization, Just Health Action, and authorize a total estimated project cost of $175,000 as part of a U.S. EPA Stakeholder Engagement and Capacity Building grant awarded in 2017 for a project with the Duwamish Valley communities of South Park and Georgetown. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Port of Seattle has been engaged over the last year in a pilot project with the Duwamish Valley (DV) communities of South Park and Georgetown and local community health non-profit, Just Health Action, as part of a U.S. EPA Stakeholder Engagement and Capacity Building grant awarded in 2017. This technical assistance grant, recently extended to assist the Port and community stakeholders until fall 2018, focuses on refining and improving stakeholder engagement within near-Port Environmental Justice (EJ) communities. The Port recognizes that neighboring communities experience a higher proportion of impacts from our operations. This pilot has identified new avenues to implement Century Agenda commitments to partner with surrounding communities, promote social responsibility, and steward our environment responsibly, such as: • Integrate new best practices into the Port’s community engagement processes; • Expand the Port’s cultural competency within marginalized communities; • Build stronger near-Port community relationships; • Convene others to help address…

BRIEFING ITEM Date of Meeting February 13, 2018 DATE: February 4, 2018 TO: Stephen P. Metruck, Executive Director FROM: Jeffrey Brown, Director of Aviation Facilities and Capital Programs Thomas Hooper, Manager Aviation Planning Program SUBJECT: Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Planning Update EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This briefing provides an update on the status of SAMP planning. The Port initiated the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) in 2013 and the planning work is nearing completion, with public scoping for environmental review anticipated to begin in Q2 or Q3 of 2018. The primary purpose of the SAMP is to identify facility improvements required to satisfy demand over the 20-year planning horizon and to balance capacity in all key functional areas to the fixed capacity of the airfield. To that end, the SAMP started with an unconstrained, 20-year forecast of cargo and passenger activity which was used to determine peak hour facility requirements based on demand derived from the movement of aircraft, passengers, bags, vehicles and freight. Alternatives for facilities development to satisfy demand were then developed and assessed, resulting in a phased capital program to deliver needed capacity through the 20-year planning horizon. For planning purposes, the SAMP assumes the airport’s current three-runway system and close- in airspace configuration will remain in place. With the airport’s small footprint and significant physical constraints, redevelopment at Sea-Tac requires expensive relocation of existing facilities and limited options for expansion. Work to evaluate alternatives for project phasing and to assess airside capacity has included extensive airside modeling…
