I. Administrative A. Approval of the Agenda The agenda was approved by acclamation.

B. Approval of the November 30, 2017 PDA Council Meeting Minutes The November 30, 2017 PDA Council Meeting Minutes were approved by acclamation.

C. Approval of the December 13, 2017 PDA Council Special Meeting Minutes The December 13, 2017 PDA Council Special Meeting Minutes were approved by acclamation.

II. Public Comment Including the Market Community Howard Aller wished the council happy holidays and thanked them for their service over the last year. He continued by noting the use of First Avenue sidewalk space by tenants with fencing and furniture, some bolted into the sidewalk, restricting access to the covered awnings. With the removal of the regulation by the State liquor control board for steel fencing he is hoping to have more temporary furniture like what is used by Le Pichet. Howard noted the proposed resolution for the five year lease agreement with the Old Stove Space which he assumes would include the fencing and permanent furniture. He brought up the topic at FAM and was told that it would be too much trouble and expense to have the tenant remove those items but the topic could be discussed in the future. Howard requested the Council make a modification to the lease and to not approve the five year lease.

Peter Bassiri brought up the issues facing Seattle Cutlery. The Starbucks line continues to be a problem and he’s been told by the PDA that some remedies were going to put in place but he has not seen any action taken. Since the last Council meeting he hasn’t heard anything from PDA management. The second issue he mentioned were the bathrooms built for the Pink Door. He had objected due to the sewage pipes that would go through Seattle Cutlery and there have been several leaks since. The pipes created a safety hazard to access their mezzanine storage.

Pike Place Market Preservation & Development Authority (PDA) · [email protected] · pikeplacemarket.org P: 206.682.7453 · F: 206.625.0646 · 85 Pike Street, Room 500 · Seattle, WA 98101

He brought it up to PDA management and they agreed to providing storage within the building. That was six months ago and nothing has been done. Peter noted he has paid $84,000 in rent over the last year and PDA management does not take care of their commitments and that is detrimental to their business. He asked the Council to get involved to ensure management sticks to their commitments.

Joan Paulson commented on the Sammamish Farm management proposal noting that it allows the PDA to operate outside the Historical District. Joan asked the Council to publicly state they are going outside the Historical District with this proposal.

III. Programs and Information Items A. Council Chair Report Matt Hanna began by noting the proposed resolution for the hiring of an Executive director will identify Mary Bacarella and authorize Matt to enter into an employment agreement with her, effective January 8. He thanked Rico Quirindongo for his work in ensuring a very robust, well thought out and well executed search process. He thanked the Executive Director Hiring Committee as well. Matt has talked with Ben Franz-Knight about the option for a consulting agreement during the transition and he is drafting a proposal.

Matt continued by noting the Sammamish River Farm proposal is being enriched since the presentation at FAM. The Council’s dealings have been quiet due to the holidays. With respect to Overlook Walk and the PDA’s role he believes that conversation will pick back up again in the New Year.

Matt Hanna asked the lease proposal for Old Stove be removed from the Consent Agenda to be considered separately during a closed session.

B. Department Director Reports Emily Crawford began by noting that the holiday campaign is going really well. The gift guide website is averaging about 500 hits per day which is really huge given the narrow audience it was advertised to. She mentioned that Devin McComb has forwarded the gift guide to his coworkers and received positive feedback. She shared the ad that was placed in City Arts and noted it was also placed in the Seattle Times print and digital as well as billboards that will reach 5 million people in terms of impressions. Emily continued by mentioning the great event on December 8th with the Smithsonian that was hosted in the Atrium. It featured Old Stove, Pike Brewing, Pico Brew, and Dick Cantwell in a panel discussion. Lastly she hopes the Council will check out the newest Carrot and Strawberry video featuring the parking garage.

Matt Hanna asked what Marketing will be up to that’s different in the New Year. Emily responded the team is really excited about an annual campaign that will be run through the entire year that’s focused on the essential values of local, fresh, and Seattle and claiming those values. New and current locals will be embraced in the campaign. It’s being outlined right now and it will be discussed at the January programs meeting.

In Erica Bates absence John Turnbull began with a quick update on Human Resources noting there will be a few job openings in Commercial, Maintenance, and Facilities and the Employee of the Year is Daniel Redick, the night supervisor for facilities.

John Turnbull continued with an update on projects he’s picked up since Ben’s departure. He is helping to assemble documents to conduct the MarketFront closeout. SOJ will need to send the full files and Jennifer and Brady have been involved in walk-throughs, including the leak issue. Until that is resolved a significant amount of the retainage is being withheld.

Matt Hanna asked for a quick overview of the waterproofing issue. John Turnbull responded the issue is the building deck is sloped. It’s built on a wood frame, with a waterproofing layer, then a lot of conduit, some of which goes through the layers, then a layer of insulation, then a layer of concrete with steel, then another waterproofing coat and maybe a surface toping. Water that makes it through the concrete is supposed to be picked up to a drain mat and funneled to the lowest point or drains. Water seems to be getting through where conduit has been placed for lighting and other things buried inside the deck. Determining the source of water is difficult on a sloped surface. He is working with Sellen to identify the leak and believes there will be a third party to provide additional review. The warranty deadline for housing is end of January and the rest of the building is end of May [sic].

David Ghoddousi asked if all floors of the garage are finished. John responded yes, noting the upper half floor has been used as staging for some tenants.

Mark Brady noted the warranty deadline for commercial is March.

Matt Hanna asked to keep a close eye on what legal recourse the PDA might have if it comes to that.

David Ghoddousi asked for clarification on the third party consultant. John responded there is currently a waterproofing consultant that has been under contract with the PDA to do observations through the course of this work. Rico Quirindongo added with regards to the closeout, he and John will be reviewing the short list of items before sending to Sellen/SOJ.

Patrice Barrentine asked when Little Fish would come on line. John responded construction will begin in January and the PDA has agreed to delay their lease term by four months and add on four months at the end.

Colleen Bowman asked if he’s had any feedback from residents. John responded that most of the residents like the building and only a couple people have moved out. There is a little water issue on the ground floor artist studios.

David Ghoddousi asked when residents in the artist studios will have to start selling. John responded those residents can sell anytime they want. A couple residents have had open houses. Each of the seven units are occupied by artists producing work but they can’t be forced to sell. The PDA will consider ways in the summer to create more of a presence. Some of those residents are Daystall vendors already.

John Turnbull continued with an update on Armory Way on the western edge of the MarketFront building. The issue is how much the PDA will be charged by SDOT to transfer the title to the PDA. The other street vacation for the Desimone Bridge is still in motion and is related to the removal of the Pike Street Hillclimb skybridge, which the PDA said it would do

before the end of the year. John is working with Angela Steele at SDOT and the PDA has asked for a short continuation and the work has been advertised in the Daily Journal of Commerce, with bids due January 29th. The hope is this agreement will be signed off by the new director or interim director of SDOT shortly.

John provided an update on meetings with those designing the Alaskan Way replacement surface roads, which will have an impact on garage access, including closed access for at least 6 months. Structural analysis of the garage is underway. The PDA is committed to roughly $1.9 million to making improvements to the south garage in conjunction with the Overlook Walk. Matt Hanna noted those improvements are being folded into conversations Matt and Rico are also having with the City with regards to Overlook Walk. John noted that the first walk through meeting with SDOT and the advance crews for the Streetcar and construction is anticipated to start late in 2018 for the portion in front of the Market. The curbside loading zone along first will be gone for about a year and that before construction starts they would like to find alternative loading zones within the Market.

Matt Hanna asked if the city will come back to the PDA for a construction easement during work related to the demolition of the viaduct and surface road work. John responded he has been in talk with Angela Brady from SDOT and noted he has asked for a design before an easement is granted.

Matt asked if a Street Improvement Plan is in the works for Western Avenue. John responded that conversations with the City have not progressed as needed and they are not granting the request needed by the PDA in order for businesses to function properly along Western Ave. A contractor is lined up to do the curb cut but the issue will need to be brought up to someone higher up at the City.

Matt Hanna asked Emily Crawford if she has heard anything further on the Starbucks trademark negotiations. Emily responded she has not.

Mark Brady asked if the skybridge just got a clean bill of health. John responded he had not heard that and thought maybe the city sent an inspector to ensure it’s safe to keep open. SDOT has told the PDA they don’t intend to make any repairs and the PDA doesn’t have the right to make repairs. SDOT can close the bridge if they want but John has not heard it is in imminent failure and the public can still walk on it.

Rico Quirindongo asked that the Director’s reports continue another three months, until the new ED gets up to speed. Rico also asked what the transition plan is for the new ED. Matt Hanna suggested the Executive Director Hiring Committee participate in a meeting with Mary and the PDA Directors to go over priority items. Matt also suggested consulting with Herd Freed Hartz on the transition and asked for any input from staff and community on how the transition could be effective. Suggestions can be sent to Matt and Rico.

Colleen Bowman would like to schedule time to discuss loading zone issues as First Ave Streetcar work starts to ramp up. She has received a lot of feedback from business owners who have been receiving a lot of tickets lately. John Turnbull noted that loading zone times are now being enforced.

John Turnbull continued by providing an overview of the Sammamish Farm opportunity noting the report included in the packet has additional information, which is underlined. The key issues based on comments by Councilmembers is to ensure any action taken by the PDA is minimal risk with regards to cost, time, and staff and has complete compliance with the PDA Charter. What is being proposed is a Service Contract where the PDA is a liaison on behalf of the County with the 5 or 6 farmers, 3 of whom sell at the Market and have relationships with PDA staff. John Turnbull has talked with Gerry Johnson about the importance of adhering to the Charter. As long as the PDA services are limited to administrative services and nothing different than what we really do. The County would like to have something in place early in 2018 and at the January FAM meeting he plans to have an outline for the Committee to review.

David Ghoddousi is supportive of helping farmers be successful but asked if the County could continue to collect rent from the farmers and the PDA educate and help the farmers, if they want he. He questioned if any of the farmers have come to the PDA asking for help and would like to know how metrics are being measured to ensure the situation is improving for those farmers.

John Turnbull noted the County is driving this proposal and is looking for help to improve .

Colleen Bowman commented that she understands this is a unique opportunity and a way to extend the PDA’s services to farmers to continue the Charter.

Mark Brady asked if there was more information for putting in the irrigation on the farm. Patrice Barrentine added the Sammamish River Farm was receiving trucked in recycled water during a program and the County is working on transferring water rights from a soccer field to the Sammamish Farm site. That will mean the farmers can grow a variety of much higher value crops, particularly vegetables. Transfer of water rights will continue to happen regardless of a service agreement with the PDA.

Mark Brady asked for clarification on the farmers who sell at the Market and the vacant lot on the farm. John Turnbull said that three of the farmers sell at the Market. Leigh Newman-Bell was going to find out why the other two farmers do not sell or participate in the CSA. He continued by saying there is a small piece of land on the property that is laying fallow which would be an opportunity for farmers to experiment with composting techniques, new crops, etc. Patrice Barrentine added that second or third generation farmers that are part of the family business can experiment and may be empowering for the future farmers.

Rico Quirindongo would like to see another presentation on this topic at the January full Council. Matt Hanna noted it would be discussed at FAM and then there might be an action item for the Council to vote on in January.

Patrice Barrentine added the County is working on a draft contract with appropriate language and in alignment with County rules and regulations.

Ray Ishii noted, in the interest of moving this ahead, if people have questions they would like addressed they can route them through him and he can forward to John and at FAM those issues can be addressed.

David Ghoddousi said that he is 100% in support of farmers and wants them to succeed. He sees this proposal in two parts: 1) collecting rents, and 2) technical support. He believes the PDA can help farmers by using the fallow land, but that doesn’t mean the PDA needs to be the collector of rents.

C. Committee Chair Report None.

D. Other Reports None.

Proposed Resolution 17-64 passed by a vote of 8-0-1. ii. Proposed Resolution 17-65: Authorization for Contract Authority – Appointment of Executive Director Matt Hanna introduced proposed resolution 17-65 which states:

WHEREAS, Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority (“PPMPDA”) was chartered by the City of Seattle pursuant to RCW 35.21.730 et. seq with the mission of promoting enterprises essential to the functioning of the Pike Place Market, including the preservation and expansion of the low-income residential community, the promotion of survival of small businesses, and the expansion of services to the public market community; and,

WHEREAS, because the previous Executive Director resigned in October 2017, the PDA needs to hire an able replacement; and

WHEREAS, toward this objective, the PDA Council established a process to best ensure a fully qualified person is found for this very important job; and

WHEREAS, this process included the engagement of a competent search and recruiting consultant; public input regarding description and requirement; the preparation of a job profile describing the position and qualifications sought; a public request for application; the review of all applications; first round interviews of qualified candidates followed by the selection of four finalists; interviews of the finalists by all PDA Councilmembers and an opportunity for the Market Community and the public to meet with each of the finalists; the receipt of public comment and input on the finalists; and the selection of a candidate to be appointed;

Matt Hanna noted that the draft agreement has been provided to Mary Bacarella and she has signed it.

For: Matt Hanna, Rico Quirindongo, Gloria Skouge, David Ghoddousi, Colleen Bowman, Ray Ishii, Devin McComb, Patrice Barrentine, Mark Brady

Against: 0 Abstain: 0

Proposed Resolution 17-65 passed by a vote of 9-0-0.

VII. Further Public Comment Bob Messina complimented the staff and Council for continuing to explore the issues surrounding the MarketFront leaks. Bob is worried that this is a long term problem and asked if the issue is related to design or materials that were not applied correctly. He does not believe the March warranty deadline should be driving this but rather is this leak fixable and will the Market have to rip up the plaza again further down the road.

Joan Paulson seconded the comments made by Bob Messina and the Market could risk chasing the leaks forever. Joan suggested the leak may stem from a design issue and noted the issues associated with the Kingdome. Joan also commented on the Sammamish Farm lease agreement saying the PDA should come up with a way to measure success or failure and she fears the County is asking the PDA to take over management of property that is in poor condition. Joan questioned whether the PDA is thinking about the lasting effects of managing the farm land. When the PDA steps out of the historic district the Charter is compromised.

Howard Aller thanked the Council for rapidly considering the problem he brought up in earlier public comment. Howard wondered with the approval of a five year lease with fences and permanent furniture does that imply additional fences and furniture will come in the future. He would like to put some energy into ensuring the public gets the sidewalk back but if the Council isn’t leaving room for that he would rather put his energy into another issue.

Chris Scott invited Devin McComb to the general Constituency meeting on January 16th, 2018.

Ali Mowary asked if there would be an opportunity to ask Mary Bacarella any questions before she starts her term. Matt Hanna believes Mary is open to public questions and suggested Ali reach out to her.

VIII. Concerns of Council Members Patrice Barrentine asked if there is a plan for the Executive Committee to meet in January. Matt Hanna replied yes, stating he will sign the contract with Mary but it won’t be effective until that meeting. Patrice also stated she walked through the Market today and it looks fabulous! She gave kudos to everyone at the Market and believes the marketing campaign really paid off.

Colleen Bowman said a thank you to Jennifer Maietta and wished her well.

Rico Quirindongo noted that he understands the PDA leases don’t extend into the public right of way but that at FAM discussions will continue with what happens with all tenants along First Avenue.

Matt Hanna suggested that further conversations on this topic continue after this meeting.

Matt Hanna ended thanking the public and staff for their comments and work and wishing everyone and their family’s happy holidays.

IX. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 5:46 p.m. by Matt Hanna, Chair.

Section II:

Programs and Information Items Executive Director’s Report January 2018

Date: January 22, 2017 To: PDA Council From: Mary Bacarella

SUMMARY The first have been a whirlwind of meetings, gathering information as we move forward on a number of projects while at the same time learning the intricacies of running the market. We are very lucky to have a strong leadership staff that has taken the interim reins and kept everything moving forward.

In the coming months I will have much more to report on but these are the things that are most prominent in my very early tenure and seem to be of importance from the end of 2017 and moving forward in 2018.

December 2017 was the best month of the year for parking and November was a strong month also. Because of these two months, we were able to reach the yearly budget but we’ll need to develop a plan for growing parking revenue in 2018.

We have completed the Residential MarketFront Cost Certification and the actual costs came under budget by $132,000.00.

We will be able to contribute to $2.1m to the Capital Reserve & Replacement Fund and are planning to contribute more this year. Exact numbers will be reported in February.

Moving forward on a number of projects:  Starbucks – We believe we have come to a great agreement with Starbucks and will discuss later under New Business.  MarketFront Leaks – Re-instating weekly meetings with participants (Sellen, SOJ, Whetherholt, etc.) to continue investigation in order to solve the issues.  Overlook Walk Agreement – Meeting set for next week to discuss Operation Agreement among City, Market, Parks and Friends of the Waterfront.  Armory Way Vacation – Agreement reached and in our attorney’s hands to finalize with City Council  Pike Street Skybridge Demo – We have received one bid on the demolition, waiting on another. Will make a decision by end of January and propose resolution to FAM next month. We hope the work can be completed by the end of April.  Center City Streetcar – Met with SOJ regarding the first steps for construction near the Market. They will give a presentation at the February Market Connections meeting including detailed timeline, community outreach, summer moratorium on the west side of the street and more. Work near the Market may start in April.

Section III: Key Presentations &

Supporting Documents

UPDATE – Sammamish River Farm Administration Agreement with King County January 19, 2018

Current status – the following text was presented to FAM committee 1/12/18. Additions to that draft are shown as underlined

The PDA farm liaison work program for 2018 currently includes one-on-one contact with the farmers on this parcel.

King County is conducting an administrative review of a proposed agreement with the PDA for services for a period of up to two years at a time.

A formalized relationship is desired prior to March, 2018 to allow for coordination of rent collection, payment of property assessments, development of spring planting plans, identification of any demonstration plots or common improvement needs for the growing season and related matters.

Why is this proposal under discussion? The PDA Council identified increased involvement with the Sammamish Farm as a topic for discussion in 2018. To date, discussion at committee has focused on the merits of the PDA having a more formalized advisory role with this group of farmers. Details of draft contract or agreement are still being drafted by King County.

The proposition now before the PDA Council is whether the PDA should pursue this type of agreement. Some questions to consider are:  How should the PDA properly assist and be positively engaged in the support for the preservation of small family operated farming ventures in the region?  Is it consistent with the PDA charter for the PDA to assist a specific group of farmers to test new ways of managing their property, planning for future years, testing new plant varieties, sharing facilities and marketing efforts?  Is it appropriate for the PDA to participate in agreements to improve the quality and coordination of technical services available to farmers who lease public property for agricultural use?  What would be the appropriate level of resources for the PDA to apply to such efforts?  How would the success of such efforts be measured?

After discussion of the matter with the PDA Council we have proposed to King County our preference for a management agreement with the PDA to provide technical services to assist the tenant farmers of the 20 acre parcel near Woodinville.

King County originally approached the PDA with this proposal for several reasons:  Four Five of the five six farmer tenants have long established permits to sell at the Pike Place Market. These farmers tend 5 of the 6 parcels under cultivation  The PDA has developed effective communication with the first generation immigrants and their families for whom English is a second language.  The PDA has an active Farm Liaison program to provide technical assistance on land stewardship, crop planning, marketing and business management for farmers with small operations.  The PDA Farmer Liaison has established relationships with other agencies and organizations involved in providing technical support functions for the small farms in State.  The parcel location is near Seattle yet much more accessible to regional farmers as a site for meetings concerning farming practices and demonstrations.  King County does not have the staff capacity to provide on-site assistance or interact with the farmers on this property on a regular basis.  This management agreement, similar to the one the county has with Tilth for the Green River Farm can be tried as a model for management of other parcels with other groups in the future.  The PDA is familiar and experienced with property management functions for public assets.  The is minimal operational or financial obligations in a management and services agreement – the tenants pay for all property assessments, operating costs and maintain insurance. The PDA would benefit from having a management and services agreement with the County as the agreement would provide recognition that PDA assistance to farmers at this site would be in the interests of the collective operation of the Sammamish River Farm. This would facilitate the PDA’s ability to provide technical services and to assist farmers with coordination of their interests in the property, including pursuit of irrigation sources, on site facilities and long term land stewardship practices.

Market Connections Committee z Meeting Minutes

Monday, January 8, 2018 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Classroom

Committee Members Present: Rico Quirindongo, Colleen Bowman, Mark Brady, David Ghoddousi

Other Council Members Present:

Staff/ Consultants Present: Mary Bacarella, Karin Moughamer, John Turnbull

Others Present: Howard Aller, Bob Messina, Chris Scott, Joan Paulson, John Pehrson, Erica Bush

The meeting was called to order at 4:30 pm by Rico Quirindongo, Chair.

I. Administration A. Approval of the Agenda The agenda was approved by acclamation.

B. Approval of the Market Connections Committee December 4th, 2017 Minutes The December 4th, 2017 meeting minutes were approved by acclamation.

C. Introduction of Mary Bacarella Rico Quirindongo welcomed Mary Bacarella to the Market. Mary introduced herself and briefly provided her professional background including her work at the Space Needle building the Chihuly Garden and Glass and time spent at the Seattle International Film Festival. She mentioned that the first place she went when she arrived in Seattle 30 year ago was Place Pigalle and in the 90’s helped remove gum from the . Mary stated she has so much love for the Market and looks forward to working with everyone.

II. Announcements and Community Comments Bob Messina welcomed Mary to the Market. Bob then noted he was told that there were two small leaks on the MarketFront over the weekend and he stressed that he wants the leaks wrapped up. In addition the Market needs to be aware of long term implications from the leaks. Lastly, with regards to the metal fins on the MarketFront seating steps, he’s concerned they still pose a tripping hazard. Bob suggested the fins be cut flush with the step and would like to receive an update on the status of the fins before the busy summer season arrives.

Joan Paulson noted the metal fins were installed to prohibit skateboarders and the Market should decide on whether to restrict skateboarding or allow the trip hazard to remain. Joan commented the work at the ferry dock will also have an effect on the Market and should be added to the list of topics included in Resolution 17-46.

Howard Aller welcomed Mary Bacarella to the Market.

III. Reports & Discussion Items A. Market to MOHAI Updates John Pehrson thanked the Committee for inviting him to provide an update on Market to MOHAI. The corridor is roughly 20 blocks long, starting at the Market and continuing to Lake Union Park and MOHAI. John provided the history of how the project came to be, noting several major changes in the city including the development of the waterfront and the development of South Lake Union. A list of the community members and agencies involved in the steering committee was provided.

John Pehrson continued by reviewing the five layers to the project, which include: 1. New and well maintained streetscape, end to end per SDOT and ADA standards 2. Pedestrian lighting – both sides – end to end, per SDOT standards 3. Corridor identification elements – end to end 4. Interactive, augmented map of corridor 5. Activating neighborhoods and the corridor

John reviewed the three elements of the project: 1. Yellow striping to let you know you are on the corridor 2. Sidewalk tiles, 2’ x 2’, will have an engaging message that will be historical in nature. The Seattle Public librarian has put a team together to develop the content of the tiles. 3. History blades will be tied to existing poles, roughly 6’ x 24”. One side will have historical information germane to the area while the other side will have a map of the corridor.

A chart of the funding to date was reviewed. It was noted that $500,000 was allocated in the 2018 Seattle City budget which will be used to add pedestrian lighting. Private funding will need to be secured in order to proceed with the corridor identification pieces.

John continued by outlining the Claim the Corridor Festival tentatively scheduled for August 11, 2018. This is a festival with music and food in the four parks along the corridor with some special events along the whole corridor. Seattle Parks has already committed to some funding for the programming in the parks. A subcommittee has been created to help plan. John hopes that the Market will participate in the planning and at the event.

John outlined the long term benefits of Market to MOHAI which include:  Encourage more and longer east-west pedestrian traffic in the dense north downtown for residents, office workers and tourists  Support the visitor pedestrian traffic to key public attractions from Waterfront/cruise ship terminal to Pike Place Market and MOHAI  Net together the waterfront, PPM, Belltown, Denny Triangle and SLU with the corridor and common activation projects  Connect six of Seattle’s great parks – Waterfront, Victor Steinbrueck, Bell Street, Dog Park, Denny Park, and Lake Union Park  Connect the new waterfront park to the north downtown

DRAFT

 Do this in an affordable way – estimated total cost $1.5-2 million.

John concluded by providing the next steps, which include:  Add pedestrian lighting to as many developed blocks as the Mayor’s 2018 budget of $500,000 will support  Add pedestrian lighting to the 12 development projects currently planned along the corridor  Host the “Claim the Corridor” in August 2018

John believes Market to MOHAI would enhance the connection to the Market along Western Avenue, which he currently believes does not provide a pleasant and safe access for pedestrians. With $300-400,000 improvements could be made along Western Avenue to make it a great place for pedestrians and enhance the north entrance to the Market. It could be the preferred way to get to the waterfront and Market.

Colleen Bowman asked what the timeline was for replacement of membrane in . Rico Quirindongo stated there is not a timeline but that one of the projects the Committee needs to address is to outline the timelines for viaduct removal, Victor Steinbrueck Park renovations, Connector Streetcar and how they all affect the Market.

The schedule for the proposed Victor Steinbrueck Park construction was discussed and the suggestion was made that the MarketFront Plaza is a good alternative and John proposed placing samples of Market to MOHAI branding at the event.

John Pehrson noted that Karin Moughamer is on the Steering Committee and there is a Claiming the Corridor event planning meeting this week.

David Ghoddousi asked what the timeline is for the project. John responded the goal is to have most of the corridor claimed by the end of 2019 with significant pedestrian markers but the work will continue several years past that. John noted there are 13 developments planned over and beyond what already exist along the corridor so there is a lot of potential to bring more people to the Market.

Rico Quirindongo asked how often the steering committee meets. John responded they meet every 2 months and meet when decisions need to be made. John welcomes Committee members to attend upcoming meetings. Rico concluded by noting the presentation he recently attended regarding micro-parks and John Pehrson has met with John McQuaid and the two projects are working together.

B. Review of passed Resolution 17-46 and list of projects and initiatives being tracked by the Committee Rico Quirindongo reviewed the projects and initiatives included on Resolution 17-46, which include:  One Center City  Pike Pine Renaissance  Center City Connector Streetcar  Victor Steinbrueck Park/Native Park Connections

DRAFT

 Pike Street Hillclimb  Visibility of the Downunder and Western Avenue Shops  MarketFront integration  Overlook Walk and Park  Information relationship with Seattle Aquarium  Adjacent property development

Rico suggested creating a timeline that is related to a number of the above projects as a way to keep track of them. Rico would like to discuss with Mary how to make that happen.

Colleen Bowman noted the skybridge removal is a project to track. David Ghoddousi asked what the schedule is for that project.

David Ghoddousi asked if anyone has reached out to the aquarium to learn about their project. Rico Quirindongo noted an update will be provided in February.

David also suggested looking at ways to improve Western Avenue Shops as they lead into the shops Downunder and how can the Committee active that.

Mark Brady noted the importance of fixing the leaks on MarketFront.

C. MarketFront General Report and Update John Turnbull began his report with an update on the Armory Way Street vacation. PDA attorneys, City attorneys, SDOT attorneys, have all agreed that no charges are needed and the recommendation will go to City Council. Gerry Johnson is working with City Council staff to get that resolution onto the agenda. The issue of the ownership of the Desimone Bridge was finalized at the end of 2017, which the PDA owns.

With regards to the Pike Street skybridge, the PDA has committed up to $350,000 of PDA funds to remove the bridge. That removal is out to bid, however, there are no engineering drawings of the skybridge which is hindering the bid process. There is at least one demolition contractor talking with the PDA. John has met with the managers at the Mador building, which will need railings installed after demolition. They have a strong desire to eventually take down whole tower, including the stairs and elevator on their side but they need to find funding. David Ghoddousi appreciates that information as the concrete tower blocks views to the waterfront.

John continued with an update on the Street Improvement Project (SIP) along Western Avenue in front of MarketFront. Parking zones on both sides of the street and approval for a loading zone in front of the building seem to be moving forward with work orders at SDOT. However, SDOT has been silent on three months of requests for a curb cut for access to dumpsters and heavy equipment required in MarketFront. John believes this will be a topic for Mary to tackle.

David Ghoddousi noted the Heritage House needs two loading zone spots in front of their building and currently they have one. John notes they should be receiving a second spot.

With regards to Alaska Way, a meeting, yet to be scheduled but probably within in a week or two, will take place to discuss what happens to access to the south parking garage while the

DRAFT

viaduct is torn down. The City has hired Miller Hull with MKA and the City has asked them for 30% design drawings for areas that intersect the garage. John anticipates those drawings will arrive in the next few weeks and with all the construction taking place downtown it will be very important to maintain this access. John discussed PDA obligations contained in the Development Agreement with of the Waterfront.

John and Mary will be attending a meeting this week or next to discuss the First Avenue Streetcar.

John proceeded to provide updates on MarketFront. With regards to handrails on the Plaza, John will be meeting with Berger Architects to discuss the plans. With regards to the fins, Sellen believes the ones installed in the concrete (2/3 of the fins) might pop out easily if the epoxy is heated up. Honest Biscuits has their hood in and are hoping to have approval to fry chicken in the next few weeks. Indi Chocolate will continue to build out over the next week. In the middle of February Old Stove Brewery will start to pull down the temporary partitions, towards the end of February kitchen training should start and in March begin brewing.

Lastly, John provided an update on the MarketFront leaks. A significant amount of the retention payment is being withheld. When Sellen provides the final paperwork to release the retention, the PDA will still hold on to a portion until there is assurance the repairs are working and how to keep the building from leaking in the future. A meeting has been scheduled with the waterproofing consultant to understand the project history. Sellen’s goal is to not put any concrete back until everything stays dry. Little Fish is still working on plumbing issues and will be going to Historic Commission in the next two weeks. There is a proposal from SOJ to continue the onsite construction coordination with Axis Consulting.

Rico Quirindongo suggested including in the contract language requiring regular written reports updating the PDA on the status of the leaks.

David Ghoddousi asked if the worst case scenario comes true and the leak is not fixed, whose obligation is it to fix it? Rico Quirindongo noted it’s a great question but not a question that can be answered by staff or Councilmembers.

Colleen Bowman asked if the curb cut issue is due to the holidays or something more. John believes it’s a combination of holidays and miscommunication within SDOT.

Rico thanked John for the update.

IV. Action Items and Reports None.

V. Items for the Consent Agenda None.

VI. Public Comment Howard Aller, with regards to Market to MOHAI, he noted the Market is free, open late, and a public place. MOHAI keeps business hours and charge admission. It’s only open to the public

DRAFT

once a month. He would like the Council to keep in mind that these two organizations are different.

Joan Paulson suggested the Market to MOHAI event in August could be rolled into Market anniversary activities. Joan noted her concern for monetary support of the project which restricts the PDA to the historic district. With regards to MarketFront Joan noted there are things the Market doesn’t have control over, such as earthquakes. The MarketFront will continue to move and create more cracks and leaks. She wants the Council to think about these leaks as a long term issue.

Bob Messina mentioned the roof replacement of the North Arcade, asking how that warranty compares to the warranty of the MarketFront leak. In his opinion the leaks need to be fixed no matter how long it takes and the PDA should not pay for it until it’s fixed.

VII. Concerns of Committee Members Rico Quirindongo stated this is a long term issue that is complicated. The PDA will continue addressing this problem as long as needed. Starting next week meetings will involve legal counsel. There is a great deal to do towards addressing the leaks.

Lastly, there was an article on Mary Bacarella in the Puget Sound Business Journal. Emily noted another article featuring Mary and the transition of leadership at the Market is in the works for Seattle Business Magazine and she’s working with Seattle Met on a hidden behind the scenes story.

IV. Reports and Discussion Items A. Craft Report David Dickinson started by introducing Molly Kirk who provided 2017 by the numbers:

 Produced 13 different events with 197 attendees, a big increase from previous years  Five Craft Advancement forums  Six product photography clinics, a business planning workshop and a pricing workshop with a total attendance of 78 people, with 39 attending a workshop for the first time

David continued by providing an overview of the holiday season, noting the design elements which included holiday trees, a tent connecting the Desimone Bridge and MarketFront pavilion, and an artwork/wind break at the north end, which was very effective at providing protection from the weather for daystall vendors. A total of 24 overflow tables were placed on the MarketFront. In addition there were four Graig Anderson art cutouts, Chief Seattle Club started selling on the MarketFront, and Indi Chocolate sold hot drinks in the pavilion.

Looking into 2018, new craftspeople are being approached and new artists are starting to be screened. On January 1st, nine off-season craftspeople were advanced to the regular list. Over the last few years a lot of peer mentors and coaches have assisted with training as well as Justin Huguet and Emily Crawford. This year Daystall staff hope to provide Train the Trainers workshops to allow crafters to better their educational tools to assist fellow crafters at the Market and beyond.

David Ghoddousi asked how many storage units are available. David Dickinson believes there are enough units available for roughly 12-14 new crafters and then they would be at capacity. There is potential for more storage space at the MarketFront.

Colleen Bowman asked what is tracked during a daystall vendors first year at the Market. David Dickinson responded that incoming vendors start on offseason list and during the first four months they have to put in a minimum of 16 days. After that, they may attend as often as they wish. After a year they can jump onto the regular list that includes a minimum of two days per week and one of those days has to be a permit holder day. Everyone has to work two weekdays to earn a Saturday. David noted this process is a result of many years of the rules evolving and allows potential vendors to test out the Market before committing 100%. David continued by reviewing the history and noted he will be back soon to review the 2018 Daystall Rules and Regulations.

Patrice Barrentine noted she was impressed with Daystall activation over the holiday season and appreciated having the tent connecting Desimone Bridge to the Pavilion. Patrice asked if any crafters were turned away over the holiday season. David responded there were no turn-aways and there was no table squeezing.

B. 2017 Holiday Campaign Recap Justin Huguet began by noting that Magic in the Market was a success, with an increase in attendance (113,496 compared with 90,883 in 2016) and new this year was a farm truck stage with professional sound, Stocking & Stuffers crafts market, live woodturning demo in the

DRAFT

MarketFront Pavilion, and the launch of the Online Gift Guide. Holiday promotions in December included Jazz in the Atrium, a short artist spotlight video of Graig Anderson, and a Carrot and Strawberry parking garage promotional video.

Emily Crawford noted the success of Magic in the Market with the added professional audio and live music. People come to see Santa and the Market has one of the very few free Santa’s in Seattle. Colleen Bowman asked if the Market has ever considered having Santa on more than one day. Emily responded that every year her team discusses that question and the issue is logistical (Pike Place would need to be closed) and where to place Santa so that it doesn’t interfere with daystall sales.

Justin Huguet reviewed the holiday ad campaign numbers, including:

Paid Social Advertising Topline Results  Overall spent: $3,100  Impressions: 264,512  Link Clicks: 2,562  CPC: $1.21  CTR: 0.978%

Digital Ads  CBS Digital: 2,362 impressions/8,225 clicks  Seattletimes.com: 140,063/192 clicks

Print Ads  City Arts: December back cover, 50,000 impressions  Seattle Times: Thanksgiving day holiday gift guide, 225,000 circulation

Out of Home  Four posters (billboards): Alaskan Way, Bridge, Greenwood, 3rd & Stewart: 3,258,706 total impressions

Online Gift Guide  Total visitors: 17,739, tracked through Google Analytics. Justin noted it’s probably a little low due to some issues in recording numbers early on.  Most Popular Gifts: 1. Beekeepers Reserve Jars from Sunny Honey Co. 2. “Holy Crack” Chocolate from The Confectional (28% more than last December) 3. Red & Billie Blanc from Wilridge Winery 4. Landjaeger Salami from Bavarian Meats 5. Holiday Tea Pack from MarketSpice 6. Dragon Ring from Nature’s Twist 7. Ceramic Bowls from Mutsuko Mitsui

Paul Neal congratulated the team on a great campaign and asked if the team is ready to expand the online gift guide to other aspects of the Market beyond the holidays. Emily Crawford

DRAFT

responded that is a good conversation to have for 2018. She wants to make sure an online gift guide, which is separate from pikeplacemarket.org, is used strategically as the amount of work to manage two sites will be a lot and she doesn’t want to risk confusing the consumer. Justin Huguet noted that the website could be reskinned to take away the holiday aesthetic and used for different seasonal times of year. Paul Neal asked how the Council could help Marketing continue to think about that option.

Patrice Barrentine commented that the holiday gift guide and promotions was incredible and thanked the team for their work.

C. Annual Campaign 2018 Emily Crawford began by stating the 2018 campaign is focused on “Local. Seasonal. Seattle.” and claiming that the Market is the soul of the city. It’s an appropriate time to celebrate the local seasonal quality that only the Market offers. The objective is to create a comprehensive year- round campaign focusing on the uniquely Seattle and uniquely seasonal aspects of the Market, featuring produce and producers. Paid advertising would be offset with excellent in-house promotions that Justin, Aliya, Kalyn, and Scott do. Emily noted she just met with DEI and pitched this idea that could be used throughout the year. That will allow the Market to do little offshoot campaigns. DEI is excited and just starting to draft up ideas.

Emily stated there will be a bus campaign this winter, similar to last year, to get the reminder out around town. It was a popular campaign with Market vendors and merchants and fit well within the budget.

Justin Huguet noted that on Tuesday there will be a photo shoot for that campaign with Cynthia Hope from Hands of the World, Destiny Sund from The Confectional, and Ernesto Ybarra, a painter that sells at Daystall tables. Emily would like to have these bus ads up in February, running through April.

Emily directed the Committee to the ideas for how to catch “Behind the Scenes” events and promotions, such as going out to the farm where the daffodils are grown that are handed out at Daffodil Day. There is a timeline which includes a meeting with Merlino Media Group to finalize spring media buys and to thinking about what the focus of farm marketing will be this summer. Emily also shared an idea for a Fall Harvest Festival to create either a two-day or two day festivals in September and October celebrating the local harvest and bring locals back to the Market after the peak summer season. Conversations with the Farm Team are still taking place.

Mark Brady suggested a campaign encouraging people to ride the bus from Tacoma or Everett. Mark also noted the directory listings near the garbage compactor/ramp needs to be updated.

Colleen Bowman noted the possible event being planned for August around Market to MOHAI. Emily Crawford noted that Karin Moughamer is taking part in those meetings.

Patrice Barrentine added her appreciation of Carrot and Strawberry and could see some fun videos in the future. Patrice likes the seasonal idea for farm, particularly fall harvest, and there are some potential ways to encourage people to buy more, possibly in bulk.

D. Trademark Update Kalyn Kinomoto highlighted several items based on the December meeting. There are no current Pike Place Market vendors with licensing agreements and Kalyn will start reviewing those vendors who do sell online and outside of Pike Place and providing friendly reminders with the rules around this. Kalyn also noted the language required for trademark approval as “The sign or trademarks owned by Pike Place Market PDA and are used under license.” That language has to be on every individual product and it’s up to the business to place that on their goods.

Kalyn continued by noting the trademark fee is waived by most non-commercial uses such as news and sports coverage as long as it’s used in conjunction with the original film permit. Trademark licenses for film are typically valid for two years. A recent license for Andrew Zimmerman was granted in perpetuity and they paid a higher fee. However, typically that is not permitted. In general Resolutions are not requested for film requests due to the speed at which they move. Trademark language is the same that’s in trademark agreement.

Kalyn shared the current fee structure however she has increased the admin fee for high maintenance crews. Security fees are hourly.

Copy for termination of trademark license agreements was reviewed and Kalyn noted there is no language in current contracts about requirements for licensee-directed termination of trademark license agreements. However, the licensee has 90 days from notice of terminated license to dispose of any remaining goods containing the approved marks. That is pretty easy to track due to the small number of trademark license agreements currently on the books.

Kalyn concluded by stating she has created a new spreadsheet to show current/active trademark licenses, as well as past or inactive licenses. Kalyn is still digging through all of the files and will continue to provide updates at future meetings.

Emily Crawford added that the Pike Place Market trademark is highly policed, tracked, and managed and there are many agreements in place.

Mark Brady asked for an update on the Starbucks Trademark negotiations. Emily Crawford noted that she’s getting Mary Bacarella up to speed and there is a meeting next week. The license is currently in negotiations and Emily hopes to bring a resolution to the Committee in February.

David Ghoddousi suggested a closed session update during the next Executive Committee meeting on the Starbucks Trademark negotiations.

Paul Neal asked how the decision was made to waive licensing fees for sports event coverage. Kalyn Kinomoto that previous conversations with the PDA Executive Director revolve around the fact that the clock and sign, when featured by a Seattle sports team, lend itself to the geographical publicity of the Market. Those teams are not using it for a commercial advertisement and therefor is more like editorial coverage. Mary Bacarella added a similar approach was used during her time at the Space Needle.

Paul Neal also asked for clarification on the pricing of the trademark licensing for Andrew Zimmerman. Emily Crawford responded that pricing is what was negotiated with Andrew

DRAFT

Zimmerman and is not necessarily the set pricing for an in perpetuity license. Kalyn noted there are not many examples of trademark licenses being issued in perpetuity and maybe that pricing needs to be reviewed. Mary Bacarella asked for clarification on if that pricing is negotiable but starts at $1,500. Emily Crawford responded yes.

Paul Neal asked for a copy of the market value of the Market brand. Emily noted that had been sent out but Karin Moughamer will resend it. Patrice Barrentine asked if that document could be reviewed at the next meeting. Emily Crawford suggested an attorney be present to help explain the valuation and Paul suggested this be discussed at full Council. Mary Bacarella is going to review the valuation document once more but believes it only pertains to the Starbucks Pike Place Roast coffee bean.

David Ghoddousi recommended with regards to trademark licensing the term and value of “in perpetuity” be reviewed in more detail. Kalyn Kinomoto added that with the Zimmerman show the statement “for the life of the program” was used in the license so as the Market does not lose control of the brand. That use cannot be transferred to another show on the Travel Channel.

Colleen Bowman commented that she understands the judgment PDA staff have applied to not charging licensing fees to local sports teams when they use the Market clock and sign during game night.

Emily Crawford noted that the Market says “no” a lot more than it says “yes” to licensing and filming requests. Kalyn Kinomoto added that in 2017 there were 98 requests and granted roughly permission to roughly 40.

Patrice Barrentine suggested bringing the baseline information to future licensing reviews before the programs committee saying it helps to contextualize the request. She thanked Kalyn for her work putting the information together.

The meeting was called to order at 4:01 pm by Ray Ishii, Chair.

I. Administration A. Approval of the Agenda The MarketFront Finance presentation will be postponed until next month and approval of the October 17, 2017 minutes will be added to the February agenda. The agenda was approved as amended by acclamation.

Jim Savitt entered the meeting at 4:06 pm.

B. Approval of the Finance & Asset Management Committee December 12th, 2017 Minutes The December 12th, 2017 meeting minutes were approved by acclamation.

II. Announcements and Community Comments Howard Aller mentioned the approval of lease proposals this month, which includes the Turkish restaurant replacing Cycene. Howard noted the steel fence in front of this restaurant is not bolted to the sidewalk and they don’t have permanent furniture outside. He requested to alter the lease of the new café to allow for the outdoor seating to be removed during slow times. In addition he asks that all future leases involving the public sidewalks have to have removable barriers.

III. Reports & Discussion Items A. Review of the Preliminary Financial Statements for December 2017 Jay Schalow presented the preliminary financial statements in place of Sabina Proto, noting calculations that still need to be done include the QB2 and QB3 values, which are based on a formula in the contracts. Depreciation and amortization will be done later in January. 2017 invoices are still being collected and awaiting approval. Jay directed the Committee to review

DRAFT

Sabina’s notes in the packet and to let him know if they have any questions. The LaSalle and WASH audits have started and will begin in earnest on Monday.

Ray Ishii noted that QB2 is set to unwind in February and added that if there are any questions feel free to email to him and they can be included in Sabina’s report next month.

i. Checking Account Activity Report Jay Schalow handed the Checking Account Activity Report to Karin Moughamer.

B. Review of MarketFront Financing This topic is postponed to a future Committee meeting.

C. Sammamish River Farm Update John Turnbull directed the Committee to the one-page summary provided in the packet. He continued that since the December meeting PDA staff has been trying to work with King County to get a draft agreement for offsite management of the Sammamish Farm, including collection of payments and ensuring the property is maintained and in good condition. The County has not been able to provide a contract term as they aren’t sure how to prepare a services agreement that is no bid at no cost to the County.

David Ghoddousi asked for clarification on the collection of rents and insurance. John Turnbull responded that if the Market enters into an agreement with the County the PDA would, as proposed, collect the rents and insurance. However, this has yet to be approved by the Council.

Jim Savitt noted he missed last month’s meeting but has read the minutes, which doesn’t explain why the PDA wants to do this. John Turnbull directed Jim to the handout included in the packet to review.

Ray Ishii asked if Gerry Johnson has reviewed this proposal as it relates to the PDA Charter. John Turnbull responded that Gerry Johnson has looked at the Charter and John and Mary have both met with Gerry to discuss the proposal. As long at the PDA is providing services to the tenants and not having an agreement with the property itself, it fits within the Charter.

Jim Savitt asked who owns the land. John Turnbull responded King County. Jim followed up by asking if the PDA doesn’t step in, who will manage the property. John responded King Count will continue to collect rent from the farmers and probably not much else. Jim asked what the point of the PDA being involved is. John responded PDA staff can better communicate with the farmers.

John Turnbull continued by saying this is a way to provide targeted assistance to farmers, linking it to already existing technical support programs offered by the Market farm team. Staff has been researching the PDA Charter, the financial risk and the operational issues and presenting that to PDA Council showing that this proposal is no net change to the PDA and a net positive to farmers.

Jim Savitt asked for further clarification on what the benefit of this agreement is to the PDA. John Turnbull responded that this agreement would allow the PDA Farm Coordinator to

DRAFT

provide technical assistance and a direct connection to four farmers who could experiment with growing new crops and specialty products for the CSA. The Farm Coordinator could assist with helping to provide training on succession farming and help younger generations learn new techniques to take over the family business. If the PDA doesn’t enter into this agreement, some of this work would still happen.

Jim Savitt stated that unless he hears a better rationale for this proposal, he would vote no on a resolution.

Mary Bacarella added that this is a topic with split support on the Council and the PDA needs to determine if it’s the right thing to do.

Kristi Beattie mentioned that some of the discussion last month was around the collection of rents and how that feels a little awkward to collect on behalf of the County. She suggested asking the County if they could provide a nominal payment to the PDA to solve the contracting issue and recognize the Market is putting administrative effort towards this interaction.

John Turnbull feels that is an option worth exploring and wonders if the Council would be in support of an agreement that removes the PDA collecting rents but still provides the technical assistance onsite.

Mary Bacarella stated more discussion on this should take place within PDA staff.

David Ghoddousi, for him, it’s about the collecting of rents that he doesn’t agree with. He believes the PDA should continue to provide education opportunities and support of farmers.

Ray Ishii asked how this fits into the Farm Programs Strategic Plan. John Turnbull responded that part of the mission of the PDA is to preserve the Market as a place for farmers to sell locally grown produce. The number of local farmers is decreasing and there is a legacy of working with immigrant farmers on this property. The farm program is focused on helping farmers learn how to get more out of their land, learn how to experiment with new crops and crop rotation, and work with other farmers to develop new ways for farmers to combine forces to sell wholesale. This agreement would help build stronger relationships with the farmers.

David Ghoddousi thanked John and his staff for their work on this proposal. David mentioned the ½ acre that is currently fallow and his concern that farmers are perceiving the PDA of stepping in to help when they are not needed. John Turnbull added there is a ½ acre that is fallow but the farmers don’t know what to do with it since no one is in charge. The PDA could work with the farmers to determine how the land could be used for the benefit of everyone.

Ray Ishii added that no decision needs to be made today and PDA staff will continue to work with the County to procure a draft agreement for the Council to review. A decision will need to be made in February.

V. Property Management A. Residential Property Management Report John Turnbull started by stating residential ended the year pretty well. The audit season is starting for Western Avenue and many of the people who have moved in have been recertified. The rental application process is constantly having to be updated to comply with various regulations. Interaction with the Market Commons is increasing as a place for a referral center and where residents can receive services and assistance with a variety of needs. Progress is being made with the Senior Center to extend the Social Services Contract and include a half- time staff person, most likely someone who acts as a tenant services assistant (TSA). Pest control is working well. There will be a dog test at Stewart House at the end of January and if that goes well the contract for intensive treatment will be reduced.

John continued by noting a recap summary for the Events and Programs department. The Loft, Elliott Bay and Salish rooms are being advertised for rent as office space. The Classroom and old events office space will be maintained, with the possible removal of the wall between the two spaces. In the meantime the old office space will stay storage. The Goodwin Library is being rented out approximately 5-10 times per month and the budget projection is for one rental each month. Conversations are starting on how to manage event space on the MarketFront Pavilion. One thing that has already been learned is that operating a full events department is time intensive. At the end of the year the budget ended better than anticipated.

David Ghoddousi asked about events staff members. John Turnbull responded one events staff position has been moved into the Commercial department and maintains rental of the Goodwin Library.

VI. Public Comment None.

Ray Ishii asked if this will need approval by the Finance & Asset Management Committee. John Turnbull responded that if there is a contract in place longer than a year, then yes, FAM will need to approve. Right now the County is proposing a two year contract. Ray noted that hopefully there will be a draft agreement for the Committee to review in February before going to full Council.

Wednesday, January 17th, 2018 4:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. Goodwin Library

Committee Members Present: Matt Hanna (Chair), Ray Ishii, Rico Quirindongo, David Ghoddousi, and Gloria Skouge

Other Council Members Present:

Staff Present: Mary Bacarella, John Turnbull, Emily Crawford, Karin Moughamer

Others Present: Howard Aller, Bob Messina, Chris Scott

The meeting was called to order at 4:35 p.m. by Matt Hanna, Chair.

I. Administration A. Approval of the Agenda Matt Hanna requested to add to the closed session a discussion of Proposed Resolution 18-03, citing RCW 42.30.110 (d). The agenda was approved as amended by Acclamation.

B. Approval of the October 18th, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting Minutes The October 18th, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting Minutes were approved by Acclamation.

II. Announcements and Community Comments Howard Aller thanked the Finance & Asset Management Committee for allowing the conversation to continue and the development of a plan to eliminate the blocking of sidewalks along First Avenue.

Bob Messina is drawing attention to the courtyard next to Emmett Watson’s Oyster Bay and Country Dough. The topsoil on the hillside has run off, exposing the irrigation pipes. He asked the Council to consider allocating funds to fix this area and recommends terracing into the hillside to reduce erosion. He also noted the boulders that are placed in the hillside could dislodge with the continued loss of soil.

III. Council Chair’s Report Matt Hanna began by noting his assistance to help onboard Mary Bacarella. Matt, with assistance of Mary and others, have been focusing on the following projects:

1. Starbucks trademark license renewal 2. MarketFront project closeout

Pike Place Market Preservation & Development Authority (PDA) · [email protected] · pikeplacemarket.org P: 206.682.7453 · F: 206.625.0646 · 85 Pike Street, Room 500 · Seattle, WA 98101

DRAFT

3. MarketFront scope of additional services from SOJ for the closeout and tenant improvement coordination. Matt referenced the leak issues that have been discussed and will continue to be addressed. That will be discussed in more detail during closed session. 4. Overlook Walk, a meeting with Office of the Waterfront is scheduled for Friday where discussions on PDA involvement will be addressed. 5. The Market Foundation has advanced a strategic planning effort and Matt has discussed that with their board president Abraham Dairi and will soon learn more about that process.

David Ghoddousi asked if there is still going to be a representative from the PDA on the Market Foundation board. Matt Hanna responded that will be discussed at full council this month and the PDA will need to identify that individual.

David Ghoddousi asked for a briefing at full council of the meeting taking place Friday with the Office of the Waterfront. Matt responded either himself, Mary, or Rico will update Councilmembers at full council.

IV. Committee Chair’s Report A. Market Connections Rico Quirindongo mentioned the presentation provided by John Pehrson on Market to MOHAI, which appears to be the same presented a year ago. The project has received $500,000 for improvements along the corridor and a Claim the Corridor event for August is being planned. John Pehrson requested the Market be included in the planning of that event. Matt Hanna asked what the corridor route is and Rico provided a map that shows Western to Bell to Westlake.

Mary Bacarella added that Karin Moughamer sits on the Market to MOHAI and Claim the Corridor planning committees.

Matt Hanna asked if there are any action items on this topic. Rico Quirindongo asked what the best process is for the Market being involved in the August event.

Emily Crawford provided background information on conversations that have taken place. She believes the Market needs to be involved, however August is a busy month for the Market. Emily noted that she has discussed with Karin Moughamer to allow Market to MOHAI to have a presence in the Pavilion and hopefully the connection to the park will be open.

Karin Moughamer added that SDOT briefed the Claim the Corridor committee on a proposal to have an Open Streets event this summer that would shut down four-six miles of city streets, included in that would be the Market to MOHAI corridor. The Committee is waiting to hear back from SDOT on the route and date, which has been proposed for a Sunday in September. Emily Crawford believes September is better than August and Pike Place will not be closed as part of this route, but closing Stewart Street can work.

Rico Quirindongo asked if the Claim the Corridor committee will meet regularly. Karin Moughamer responded the next meeting is scheduled for the end of February. Rico asked if this now becomes a Market Programs Committee project to track. Emily Crawford responded yes.

Matt Hanna asked if there is a pending action item. Emily Crawford believes we are just meeting for their next meeting.

DRAFT

Rico Quirindongo continued by reviewing John Turnbull’s general updates, which Mary recapped in her director’s report.

B. Market Programs Emily Crawford reviewed the agenda, including holiday 2017, trademark questions including active trademarks and how the trademark program works, and reviewed the 2018 advertising campaign, a draft of which will be provided next month.

C. Finance & Asset Management Ray Ishii noted two proposed resolutions, 18-01, adding Mary Bacarella as a signer on PPMPDA accounts and 18-02, lease proposals for January 2018, both of which passed unanimously and he recommended adding to the Consent Agenda. Ray Ishii discussed the Sammamish Farm update provided by John Turnbull and there was a lot of discussion. There were questions around the Farm program, including what the goals of the program are. Ray believes the full council will want to review this proposal as it relates to the bigger picture of the farm program strategic plan.

Mary Bacarella added revisiting how this fits into what we do and our mission will help make a decision. King County will be providing a proposal and that needs to be reviewed as well.

Matt Hanna asked if the next step is discussion at the Council level and is that something that should take place this month. Ray Ishii believes a decision on Sammamish Farm needs to take place by next month and hopefully King County will have a draft contract soon. John Turnbull doesn’t know when the draft contract will arrive.

Matt Hanna asked if the Committee made a tentative decision to support the initiative. Ray Ishii responded no since there was no contract to review and there is some skepticism to the proposal. Matt Hanna suggested it might be productive for the Council this month to come to a decision about whether, in concept, we want to do this. If yes, the PDA can work out the details with the County on the contract.

Ray Ishii continued the Committee is working to outline an agenda for the year and Ray realized there is a lot of coordinating between Market Programs and Market Connections that could occur, specifically asking about when MarketFront tenant improvements might move over to Finance & Asset Management.

D. Executive Director Hiring Committee Matt Hanna disbanded the Executive Director Hiring Committee

V. Executive Director’s Report Mary Bacarella started by thanking PDA staff for all the work they have been working on during the interim period. Mary listed the projects staff have been working on including:  Removal of the skybridge for which there are currently two bids  Armory Way vacation is in the hands of PDA attorneys  Western Ave Street Improvement will need further conversation and John Turnbull is helping with that  Overlook Walk, there is a meeting coming up

DRAFT

 Mary met with Lillian from the Market Foundation and attended the board meeting this week  She met with Steve Nelson to get familiar with upcoming Capital Projects  Sammamish Farm discussions continue  Daystall Vendor appeal, which John noted has been handled  First Avenue Streetcar, there is a meeting tomorrow  MarketFront Pavilion events, leadership is getting together to discuss how to handle these requests

Matt Hanna asked about the space for lease signs in the Elliott Bay Room and asked if a third party had been hired to manage events at the Market. John Turnbull responded that has not happened but conversations have taken place with someone interested in that option. At the same time the Elliott Bay, Loft, and Salish Rooms are being advertised as office space. The classroom and events office space will be kept with the potential to combine those two rooms.

Matt Hanna asked if the PDA is still programming the Atrium Kitchen. John Turnbull responded Traci Post took over management of the Atrium Kitchen starting October 1.

Rico Quirindongo reviewed the history of third party event management and asked if the only space currently available to rent is the MarketFront. John Turnbull added the Goodwin Library is also available to rent.

David Ghoddousi thought, based on previous conversations, the MarketFront space was going to be managed by a third party. John Turnbull responded that is part of the conversation. Rico Quirindongo added it was discussed that model would be tested.

Matt Hanna asked for an update on event rental spaces, Atrium Kitchen, and the option for third party contracts at the February full Council meeting. Rico Quirindongo added he would like to have an update on parking garage performance.

VI. Closed Session The Committee Chair stated that the committee would go into closed session at 5:11 p.m. to discuss the Starbucks Trademark Licensing Agreement and Proposed Resolution 18-03: Authorization of Additional Services from Shiels Obletz Johnsen for MarketFront Closeout and Tenant Improvement Coordination and return into open session at approximately 5:35 p.m.

DRAFT

VII. Action Items Proposed Resolution 18-03: Authorization of Additional Services from Shiels Obletz Johnsen for MarketFront Closeout and Tenant Improvement Coordination

Matt Hanna introduced the proposed resolution and noted the title of the resolution should read “Additional Services from Shiels Obletz Johnsen for Additional Project Management Services.”

WHEREAS the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority (PPMPDA) was chartered by the City of Seattle pursuant to RCW 35.21.730 et. Seq with the mission of promoting enterprises essential to the functioning of the Pike Place Market, including the preservation and expansion of the low-income residential community, the promotion and survival of small businesses , and the expansion of services to the public market and community; and,

WHEREAS Pursuant to a public process and approval by the PDA Council the PPMPDA has contracted with Shiels Obletz Johnson, Inc. (SOJ) as owner’s representative in monitoring the MarketFront project and coordination of tenant improvements in that structure; and.

WHEREAS The MarketFront project was substantially completed in 2017 and the warranty period for the bulk of construction will extend through April with a variety of work items to be coordinated and completed; and,

WHEREAS Tenant improvements to be made to the building will require additional coordination with the architect, MEP consultants and structural engineers of record to maintain consistency and integrity of the MarketFront project; and,

WHEREAS The firm of SOJ has provided such services to date and is most qualified to continue such coordination and has agreed to provide such services; and,

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the PDA Council authorizes the PDA Executive Director or her designee to enter into a contract with Shiels Obletz Johnson, Inc. for additional project management services for the completion and closeout of the MarketFront project and coordination of tenant improvement for a three month period and in an amount not to exceed $79,760.00.

The funds for this service contract will be drawn from the PDA CRRF – Capital Reserve and Replacement Fund.

Rico Quirindongo moved the proposed resolution and Ray Ishii seconded the motion.

Matt Hanna noted several amendments to the resolution including changing the third WHEREAS to read “The MarketFront project was substantially completed in 2017 with additional work items to be coordinated and completed,” and the last section to read “…for additional project management services for the MarketFront project and coordination of tenant improvement for a six month period and in an amount not to exceed $79,760.”

Subject: December 31, 2017 Preliminary Financial Statements

Summary

The preliminary results on the Financial Statements for December 2017 show that PDA will exceed the 2017 budgeted amount of contribution to CRRF! Garage had the best performance in revenue during month of December.

Commercial and Residential Revenues will finish over budget; Daystall revenue will be under budget mainly because of the reduced attendance which was impacted by the cold weather during the first half of the year and some attritions. Parking revenue (garage) is on target, Surface Lots slightly under budget, Miscellaneous Revenue over budget. We are up to date on all payment obligations, debt services, pension fund contributions and we predict that PDA will exceed the goal for 2017 budget contribution to the CRRF.

Balance Sheet Notes:
