Background
• Approximately 85% of the homeport of Tacoma gross revenues transitioned to the NWSA.
• Licensed properties included port-operated terminals, breakbulk and auto lines of business.
• Majority of staff from the Port of Tacoma support all or a portion of NWSA related work.
• Less than 20% of the homeport of Seattle gross revenues transitioned to the NWSA.
• SeaTac airport is the fastest growing airport in the nation and a significant focus for homeport staff.
• The majority of revenue transitioned to the NWSA was from long-term leases where the tenant performs the maintenance.

Transition Priorities
The following transition priorities were established for 2017:1. Determine the organization structure at the completion of
the transition period for the NWSA and homeports.
2. Complete a workspace/HQ needs assessment, followed by a market search for NWSA office space for staff supporting the commercial, operations and support functions.
3. Complete an assessment associated with developing a total rewards program, including an implementation plan.
4. Transition lease administration to the NWSA from the homeports.
5. Support the Port of Tacoma Commission in the search and selection of a CEO for the Port of Tacoma.

2017 Priorities –Organizations at Post Transition
Two alternatives were considered to achieve the intent of the NWSA charter to become a separate entity:
Alternative 1: Three completely stand alone entities for the NWSA and the two homeports.
Alternative 2 (Recommended): Creation of a separate executive leadership model for the NWSA and the two homeports, which leverages purchasing support services among the three separate entities.
5
2017 Priorities –Organizations at Post Transition
Alternative 1: Three completely stand alone organizations:
• Achieves the intent of the NWSA charter• Results in increased staffing and operating costs due to
reduction in synergies:• Estimated increased staffing costs $2 - $3 million annually
• Estimated increased systems costs $4.8 million annually
• Results in increased one-time costs associated with transitioning information technology infrastructure, hardware and software and other facility changes• Estimated one-time costs $16 – $20 million

Alternative 2 (Recommended): Separate Executive Leadership with shared support services:
• Achieves the intent of the NWSA charter• Utilizes support services agreements to ensure clarity of
service expectations and costs• Results in reduced additional staffing costs and
operating costs by leveraging synergies vs alternative 1:• Estimated increased staffing costs $.5 - $1 million annually• Estimated increased systems support $0.1 - $0.5 million
annually• Significantly reduces one-time costs associated with
transitioning information technology infrastructure, hardware and software and facility changes• Estimated one-time costs $1 – $3 million

2017 Priorities –Organizations at Post Transition Alternative 2 (Recommended): Separate Executive Leadership with shared support services:
Guiding Principles:• Function should reside in the organization that uses
the majority of the service [1]
• Support service has ability to set clear accountability and service levels for ongoing service agreements
• No jobs will be eliminated as part of the transition• Business relationships will be managed to optimize the
performance of the gateway, create role clarity and maximize return on infrastructure investments
