This is the agenda for the Port of Seattle Commission Regular Meeting held on May 24, 1983, covering a range of business items related to Sea-Tac International Airport and port terminals. Airport-related items include a contract award for a Satellite Transit System Electrical System Upgrade, lease negotiations with the Greater Highline Community Parks Board for facilities at the North Sea-Tac Park, and lease agreements with several companies operating at Sea-Tac. A Staff Review Session on Terminal 91 Redevelopment, including public comment and Commission discussion, was also scheduled.

House Bill 1191, introduced in Washington State's 46th Legislature in 1979, proposed changes to how Port of Seattle commissioners are elected. The bill would put before voters a measure to elect three port commissioners from geographic commissioner districts and two additional commissioners chosen at large from the port district as a whole. It also established that in class AA counties with nine councilmanic districts, like Seattle, there would be three port commissioner districts each containing three councilmanic districts.

Minutes from February 1974 Port of Seattle Commission meetings document the adoption of Resolution No. 2516, which authorized the Port to acquire approximately 421 acres of land north and south of Sea-Tac International Airport through condemnation or negotiation. A public hearing drew significant community attendance, including residents of the Zone 3 area near the airport, who expressed support for the plan while requesting that the southern boundary be extended to S. 216th Street. The meetings also addressed related airport operational matters, including modifications to airport rules and charges.

The resolution directed the Port to acquire these properties—through purchase or eminent domain—to establish runway clear zones, buffer zones, and safety areas for airplane passengers, airport personnel, and neighboring residents. All acquisition proceedings were required to comply with applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws, including the State Environmental Policy Act.
