GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY TO
HONOR SURVIVORS AND TO BUILD
COMMUNITY. TODAY WE WILL ALSO
IN COMMITTEE BE LOOKING AT THE
APPOINTMENT FOR CITY LIGHT
REVIEW, AS WELL AS THE
PRESENTATION, WHICH WE WILL NOT

MEETING. WITH THAT SAID, WE
WILL NOW OPEN THE HYBRID PUBLIC
COMMENT PERIOD. PUBLIC COMMENT
SHOULD RELATE TO TODAY'S
AGENDA ITEM WITHIN THE PER VIEW
OF THE COMMITTEE. CLERK, HOW
MANY SPEAKERS ARE SIGNED UP
TODAY?
>> CHAIR, WE HAVE ONE IN-PERSON
SPEAKER TODAY.
>> AND SO EACH SPEAKER WILL
HAVE TWO MINUTES. WE'LL START
THE IN-PERSON SPEAKER FIRST. A
QUICK REMINDER, THE PUBLIC
COMMENT PERIOD IS UP TO 20
MINUTES. SPEAKERS WILL BE
CALLED IN ORDER IN WHICH THEY
HAVE REGISTERED. WHEN YOU HEAR
THE CHIME, YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS
LEFT BEFORE YOUR MIC IS MUTED.
SO PLEASE END YOUR COMMENTS
WITHIN THE ALLOTTED TIME.
LET'S GET STARTED. PUBLIC
COMMENT PERIOD IS NOW OPEN, AND
WE'LL BEGIN WITH THE FIRST
SPEAKER ON THE LIST.
>> THE FIRST IN-PERSON SPEAKER
IS SHOVIT AGURAL.
>> HONORABLE COUNCIL MEMBERS,
I'M SHOVIT. I CAME TO SPEAK AS
AN INDIVIDUAL CONDOMINIUM
OWNER. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF
CONDO AND APARTMENT BUILDINGS
IN SEATTLE BEFORE 2018. MOST OF
THESE BUILDINGS ARE NOT READY
TO BE ENABLED TO BE ABLE TO OWN
AND CHARGE ELECTRIC BIKES AT
THE SAME TIME. MY CONDO, FOR
EXAMPLE, HAS 153 UNITS ACROSS
TWO BUILDINGS AND 157 PARKING
SPOTS ACROSS TWO PARKING
GARAGES. WE HAVE OVER FIVE
ELECTRIC VEHICLES ALREADY WITH
DEMAND INCREASING RAPIDLY. WE
ONLY HAVE TWO PARKING STATIONS.
AND THE TWO CHARGING STATIONS
IN OUR BUILDING. THE MAIN
OBSTACLE TO ENABLING THE LEGACY
BUILDING FOR OUR EVs IS AS
FOLLOWED. TO BE UPGRADED, SO
THE BUILDINGS COULD GET MUCH
HIGHER TO BE ABLE TO CHARGE
THOSE VEHICLES. THE BUILDING
THEMSELVES MUST MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CURRENT
ACROSS ALL PARKING SPOTS AND
CHARGE FOR ELECTRIC USAGE
ACCORDINGLY. THE BUILDING MUST
ENSURE THE INCREASED CURRENT
CFP AND THE RENTAL CODES. MANY
RESIDENTS ARE RETIRED OR ON
FIXED INCOMES AND THEY MIGHT
NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE
UPGRADE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
BUT AS THE VEHICLES WILL BECOME
CHEAPER, THEY WOULD WANT TO
SWITCH FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
REASONS. NOW I REACHED OUT TO
CITY COUNCIL, FROM THE EV
PROGRAM. AND THAT PROGRAM,
WELL, MY E-MAIL WAS FORWARDED
AND THEY ADVISE ME THAT THE
CITY PROGRAM COULD PROVIDE THE
COMPLIMENTARY ASSESSMENT. ONLY
PROVIDES THE MAXIMUM REBATE OF
$25,000 FOR CHARGING STATIONS
THAT ARE BEING FORCED TO
INTEND. NOW THIS SOLUTION MAY
WORK FOR TOWN HOMES, IT
DOESN'T WORK FOR CONDOS OR BIG
APARTMENT BUILDINGS WITH WITH
MORE THAN 25 UNITS. IT IS NOT
SUFFICIENT. I WOULD ALSO
HIGHLIGHT $25,000 IS NOT A
SUFFICIENT LIMIT IF YOU ARE
BUILDING MANY. -- [ INAUDIBLE ]
>> THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY
ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS? THANK YOU.
AS A REMINDER, MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT
WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENT
AVAILABLE AT THE PODIUM OR
E-MAIL THE COUNCIL. SO WE WILL
NOW PROCEED TO OUR ITEMS OF
BUSINESS. WILL THE CLERK PLEASE
READ ITEMS ONE THROUGH FOUR
INTO THE RECORD.
>> AGENDA ITEMS ONE THROUGH
FOUR, 02887 TO 02800. MIKEL
HANSEN, KERRY LYNN MEADE, JOEL
PAISNER, SAVOLYUK, FOR A TERM

AGREEMENT LEGISLATION FOR
BRIEFING AND DISCUSSION.
>> THANK YOU. SO WHEN READY, GO
AHEAD AND GET STARTED.
>> AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS
BRIEFING TODAY IS TO DISCUSS
THE PROJECT AT PIER 66 AND A
FORTHCOMING AT THE ORDINANCE
THAT WILL BE THE SUBJECT OF
THIS BRIEFING TODAY. THE
OVERALL AGENDA, AN OVERVIEW OF
THE SHORE POWER. DISCUSS THE
PROJECT GOALS. TALK ABOUT THE
MOA, AND ALSO PROVIDE A LOOK AT
THE INTERVIEW PROCESS ITSELF.
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SHORE
POWER, WHAT IS IT? WHETHER
THERE ARE CRUISE SHIPS, CARGO
SHIPS, BOATS THAT RUN OFF
ELECTRICAL POWER WHILE IN DOCK
OR BIRTH IS THE FUNDAMENTAL
PURPOSE OF THE POWER.
ESTIMATING A REDUCTION BY 80%
AND CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS BY
60% -- EXCUSE ME, 66%, WHILE
CRUISE SHIPS ARE USING SHORE
POWER. AND THEY HAVE PARTNERED
WITH THE PORT OF SEATTLE FOR A
SHORE POWER AT PIER 91 AND
CARGO SHIP AT TERMINAL 95. IN
CONCERT WITH THE WATERFRONT,
THEY ARE ALSO PROJECTING THE
SHORE POWER AT TERMINALS 48 AND
18 FOR CARGO VESSELS. SO THE
SHORE POWER PROVIDES THAT
SERVICE TO SHIPS WHILE THEY ARE
IN DOCK, SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO
RUN THEIR DIESEL ENGINES AND
CONTRIBUTE TO GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS. AND THEY SHARE
COMMON GOALS PRIMARILY AS
PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSING AND THE
OVERALL REDUCTION BY ALLOWING
CRUISE SHIPS TO TURN OFF THEIR
DIESEL ENGINES WHILE IN BIRTH.
AND AND SO THIS IS ALSO THE
FUTURE PROJECTS THAT WILL HELP
WITH REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT. AND SOME OF THE WORK
THAT WOULD OCCUR IN FALL OF
2023 AND I WILL TALK ABOUT THAT
IN MORE DETAIL IN FORTHCOMING
SLIDES. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
CONTINUING WITH JUST A BRIEF
OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT GOALS.
ADDITION FALLLY THE PIER 66
SHORE POWER PROJECT IS ONE OF
THOSE BETWEEN CITY LIGHT AND
THE PORT OF SEATTLE. THE SHORE
POWER WILL GET AFTER THE GOALS
OUTLINED IN CITY LIGHTS CLEAN
ENERGY STRATEGIC PRIORITY AS
WELL AS THEIR TRANSPORTATION
ELECTRIFICATION STRATEGIC
INVESTMENT FUND. LASTLY THIS IS
ONE OF THE FIRST PROJECTS
OUTLINED IN THE ONGOING CLEAN
ENERGY STRATEGY, WHICH IS A
PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE PORT OF
SEATTLE, CITY LIGHT, AND THE
ALLIANCE TO LOOK AT WAYS TO
ELECTRIFY THE PORT'S
FACILITIES AND THE ALLIANCE AND
THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE THROUGH
2050 TO REDUCE EMISSIONS. NEXT
SLIDE, PLEASE. HERE IS AN
OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT WITHIN
THE MIRROR TIME ELECTRIFICATION
PROGRAM. REFERENCING THE MAP ON
THE SCREEN, NOTING THAT IT IS
TO THE RIGHT AND SOUTH BEING TO
THE LEFT. THERE ARE THREE BASIC
SEGMENTS OF THE WORK THAT ARE
UNDERWAY. THE FIRST SEGMENT,
NUMBER ONE, ABOUT 2,600 LINEAR
FEET OF UNDERGROUND CIVIL
INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH ARE
VAULTS AND FOR THE SHORE POWER
SERVICE. THIS CIVIL
INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDES FUTURE,
ALSO PROVIDES FOR FUTURE PORT
SERVICES ON TERMINAL 46 AND FOR
A CITY LIGHT DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEM EXTENSION NORTH FOR
FUTURE CUSTOMERS INCLUDING
WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES. THE
VAULTS PROVIDE AN UNDERGROUND
PATHWAY FOR CITY LIGHTS TO PULL
OUR ELECTRICAL CABLE AND
INSTALL THE OTHER HIGH VOLTAGE
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. THIS IS
ALL, BUT COMPLETE AS OF MID
MAY, 2024. AND CITY LIGHT CREWS
ARE BEGINNING THEIR ELECTRICAL
CABLE WORK THIS MONTH IN
PREPARATION FOR ENERGIZING THE
SUBMARINE CABLE AND ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT ON PIER 66. FOR
SEGMENT TWO SHOWN ON THE MAP,
THAT IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE
6,100 LINEAR FOOT SUBMARINE
CABLE BETWEEN TERMINAL 46 AND
PIER 66. THIS CABLE IS ACTUALLY
LATE ALREADY FROM PIER 66,
SOUTH TO TERMINAL 46 IN MID
JANUARY OF 2024, WHICH YOU'LL
SEE SOME PICTURES OF IT
THROUGHOUT THIS PRESENTATION.
AND THAT CABLE ITSELF IS EIGHT
INCHES IN DIAMETER, EXTENDING
THEIR LIGHTS TO 26,000 VAULT
PRIMARY SERVICE FROM TERMINAL
46 TO PIER 66. AND FOR THE
PROPOSED MEMORANDUM AGREEMENT,
IT'S THE OWNER OF THE CABLE
THAT THEY HAVE GOT THAT
PERMITTED THROUGH THE
WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF
NATURAL RESOURCES. AND THEN
LASTLY FOR THE THIRD SEGMENT,
THAT IS THE ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT IN POWER CHARGING
INFRASTRUCTURE ON PIER 66
ITSELF. THE PORT HAS EQUIPMENT,
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT THAT WILL
TRANSFORM FROM CITY LIGHTS
PRIMARY SERVICE TO 11,000 VOLT
SERVICE PROVIDING THEM WHEN
THEY ARE DOCKED. SO OVERALL THE
DESIGN BEGAN ON THIS PROJECT IN
2019 AND WRAPPED UP IN EARLY
2023. THEY THEN PROCEEDED USING
THE PUBLIC WORKS BID PROCESS TO
SELECT THE MARINE CONSTRUCTION
AS THE PRIME CONTRACTOR FOR
MOST OF THIS WORK SHOWN HERE.
AND THIS CONSTRUCTION STARTED
IN AUGUST OF 2023 AND ESTIMATED
TO BE COMPLETE BY END OF
SEPTEMBER THIS YEAR. GO TO THE
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. FOR THE
MEMORANDUM AGREEMENT ITSELF,
THE PORT HAS BUDGETED $44
MILLION OVERALL, WHICH WILL
INCLUDE ABOUT $1.8 MILLION FOR
THE CITY WORK. OUR COST SHARE
FOR THIS IS ABOUT $3.6 MILLION,
INCLUDING $2,600 FEET ON
TERMINAL 46, WHICH WILL ENABLE
OUR SYSTEM EXTENSION FOR FUTURE
CUSTOMERS AND PROJECTS. THIS
INCLUDES WASHINGTON STATE
FERRIES AS WELL AS THE MARINE
DIVISION, KIT SAP, AND THEY
WILL GET AFTER THOSE GOALS OF
ELECTRIFYING THE MIRROR TIME
INFRASTRUCTURE. IN GENERAL THE
ORDINANCE AUTHORIZES CITY LIGHT
TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER A TWO
YEAR MEMORANDUM AGREEMENT FOR
THIS PROJECT, WHICH IS INCLUDED
IN THE LEGISLATIVE PROJECT. THE
MOA INCLUDES AN EASEMENT TO
MAINTAIN ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
AND INSTALLED ON THE PROPERTY
AT TERMINAL 46. SECONDLY THE
ORDINANCE BEFORE YOU AUTHORIZES
CITY LIGHT TO EXECUTE A 30 YEAR
OPERATIONS AGREEMENT BETWEEN IS
IT TRUE LIGHT AND THE PORT OF
SEATTLE, WHICH IS FORTHCOMING
AND STILL IN DRAFT FORM. THE
AGREEMENT IS FOR 30 YEARS,
WHICH IS BASED OFF THROUGH THE
DEPARTMENT OF STATE RESOURCES,
WHICH THE PERMIT IS 30 YEARS.
THEY WANT TO ESTABLISH CLEAR
NOTIFICATION AND PROCEDURES
WHEN THE CRUISE SHIPS ARE
DOCKING AT PIER 66 AS WELL AS
OUTLINE THE PROCEDURES WHEN THE
PORT INTENDS TO DEENERGIZE THE
CABLE FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE,
WHICH WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE
OPERATIONS AGREEMENT. THIS
CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION AT
THIS TIME. IF THERE ARE ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, I'M
OPEN TO THEM.
>> THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES, ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
COUNCILMEMBER SAKA?
>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
THANK YOU FOR THIS HELPFUL
PRESENTATION. AND I UNDERSTAND
TODAY WE ARE HERE TALKING ABOUT
A VERY SPECIFIC PROJECT RELATED
TO SHORE POWER, BUT WANTED TO
STEP BACK FOR A MOMENT. AND IT
WILL MAKE A LOT OF SENSE THAT
SOUNDS LIKE OUR REGIONAL
CLIMATE AND THE ELECTRIFICATION
ZONE AND CITY LEVELS AND THE
OTHER GOVERNMENT AS WELL, SO I
LOVE THAT. AS I UNDERSTAND
THESE VARIOUS CRUISE SHIPS THAT
WILL BE KIND OF PLUGGING IN
WHETHER THEY WILL ASSIST THIS
ONE OR ANOTHER. AND IT IS A
CHOICE TODAY, WHETHER THEY DO
THAT OR NOT. IT IS MORE COST
EFFECTIVE FOR CRUISE SHIP
OPERATORS TODAY TO CONTINUE
BURNING DIESEL OR THEIR GAS
ENGINE RATHER THAN PLUGGING IN.
AND IS THAT TRUE OR NOT TRUE?
>> I'M NOT ENTIRELY SHORE. AND
BETWEEN PLUGGING IN THE SHORE
POWER. IT IS COORDINATING WITH
THE LINES THAT WILL USE THIS
INCLUDING NORWEGIAN CRUISE
LINES. HOWEVER, I DON'T KNOW
FOR CENTER.
>> I HAVE BROADER QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE SYSTEMIC BARRIER TO
DRIVING HIGHER ADOPTION WITH
THIS AND IT IS GREAT TO BUILD
OUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE, WELL TO
BUILD OUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE,
WE NEED TO INCLUDE THE PARK
CONDITIONS WHERE CRUISE SHIPS
WANT TO PLUG IN AND UTILIZE
THIS. DO WHERE SHE A POINT OF
VIEW? DO WE HAVE A POINT OF
VIEW ON WHAT THAT UTILIZATION
RATE FOR THIS WILL LIKELY BE?
>> AND THAT PORT WILL PROVIDE
DOCKING FOR CRUISE SHIPS FROM
APRIL TO OCTOBER, AND THAT IS
ROUGHLY TWO DAYS OR SO. AND IN
TERMS OF ADOPTION THAT THEY
ONLY HAVE BIRTHED FOR ONE
CRUISE SHIP IF THAT LOCATIONS,
BUT THAT'S THE INTENDED THING
THAT I UNDERSTAND THE PORT. IF
IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN AS WE ARE
CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF
PLANNING WITH THE PORT. AND IF
THERE WILL BE SHORE POWERS AS
WELL. IT WILL BE BETWEEN APRIL
AND OCTOBER. YOU KNOW, THEY
HOST CRUISE SHIPS NOW HAVE
SHORE POWER. THIS IS SOMETHING
THEY WANTED AS WELL TO USE IT
DOWN HERE AS WE HAD THE TWO
BIRTHS. NOW ALL THREE WILL
PROVIDE POWER, MOST OF WHICH,
YOU KNOW, OPERATE, OR THEY
COULD OPERATE ON SHORE POWER.
>> AND THAT IS THE FUTURE, I
WOULD SAY.
>> AND THEY ALL HAVE SHORE
POWER CAPABILITY, WHICH IS
TERRIFIC. IF 100 SHIPS DOCK IN
ANY SPECIFIED PERIOD. HOW MANY
OF THOSE ARE AN PACED POWER.
BUT THE EXPECTATION IS IF THEY
HAVE THE CAPACITY OF PLUGGING
IN FOR SHORE POWER, THEY WOULD.
AND CREATING CAPABILITY IS
EXCELLENT, BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE SERVING AND THAT
IS KIND OF CRITICAL INFORMATION
FOR YOU ALL TO KIND OF REPORT
BACK AND SHARE INFORMATION.
>> THE EXPECTATION IS THE
CRUISE SHIPS THAT WILL BE
DOCKED IN SEATTLE WILL BE
CONNECTED TO SHORE POWER.
>> 100% UTILIZATION?
>> I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE PORT,
BUT I'M SAYING THAT WE HAVE
CREATED THE VENUE FOR THEM TO
HAVE THEIR CRUISE SHIPS PLUGGED
INTO SHORE POWER.
>> I WOULD LIKE LICKSPITTER
TRANSPARENCY.
>> WE WILL HAVE THAT FOR YOU
FOR THE NEXT MEETING.
>> THANK YOU.
>> YEP.
>> GREAT.
>> AND LET THEM REFLECT THAT
COUNCILMEMBER IS HERE. LOVED TO
HAVE YOU. AND ALSO I WANT TO
LET THE RECORD REFLECT
COUNCILMEMBER MORALES IS
EXCUSED TODAY FOR TODAY'S
MEETING. ANY ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I ASSUME
YOU'LL BE BEFORE THE COMMITTEE
FOR THE APPROVAL OF THIS
ORDINANCE. AND SO IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS,
COLLEAGUES, THEY WILL BE HERE
AT THE NEXT MEETING TO ANSWER
THOSE QUESTIONS.
>> WE'LL REACH OUT TO THE PORT
AS WELL TO MAKE SURE WE NOAH
THEIR PLANS THAT THEY WOULD
HAVE THAT THEY HAVE IN TERMS OF
USAGE FROM THE SHORE POWER.
>> THIS IS WHAT THEY WANTED
DONE, BUT IT'S TAKEN A FEW
YEARS. THAT'S WHY THEY WENT
WITH THIS OF HAVING A MARINE
CABLE, WHICH IS NEW AND
DIFFICULT AND REQUIRED A LOT OF
WORK. GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH
THEM TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
ON HOW NOT TO TEAR UP OUR
WATERFRONT THAT WE JUST
COMPLETED IN ORDER TO DO THIS.
SO REALLY APPRECIATE THE
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PORT.
>> AWESOME. THANK YOU.
>> COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA?
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR. JUST ONE
QUICK QUESTION AND APOLOGIES, I
WAS TARDY. SO YOU PAY HAVE
COVERED THIS. BUT JUST IN CASE,
WONDERING ARE THERE ANY
NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO THE CITY
WITH THIS REQUEST AND THIS
CHANGE AND ADDING THAT THIRD
PEER
>> NO, THIS WILL SUPPORT OUR
GOAL WITH ELECTRIFYING THE
MIRROR TIME INDUSTRY AS A PART
OF THIS. AND THIS IS SOMETHING
IN THE WORKS FOR BOTH TIMES, SO
I COULD NOT THINK OF ANY
RAMIFICATIONS FROM THIS.
>> INCLUDING THE SUFFICIENT
POWER IN THAT GRID TO
ACCOMMODATE AND
>> IT IS BOTH EXCITING AS YOU
HEARD FROM OUR NEW GENERAL
MANAGER THAT OUR LOAD IS
GROWING FASTER THAN
ANTICIPATED. BUT THE VALUE AND
THE BENEFITS TO THE CITY OF
SEATTLE IS ENORMOUS. YES, WE'LL
HAVE TO BE READY. THAT THEY
WILL BE PROVIDING THAT ROAD MAP
FOR HOW THEY WILL ACHIEVE THE
ADDITIONAL ENERGY AND IT WILL
BE RENEWABLE, CLEAN ENERGY AS
WELL. ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE DO
HAVE POWER TO ACCOMMODATE THE
NEEDS INCLUDING ALL THE
TRANSITIONS FROM GAS TO
ELECTRIC AND ALL THAT, SO
THAT'S GREAT TO HEAR. THANK
YOU.
>> YEAH, AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. EXCELLENT
QUESTION. BUT NO, IT HIGHLIGHTS
THE IMPORTANCE OF MY EARLIER
QUESTION AS WELL. AND THE
UNDERLINING DATA, WHAT WE
ANTICIPATE TODAY. IT WILL
IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO MEET CITY
WIDE.
>> JUST TO CLARIFY, WHAT THE
ENERGY LOAD IMPACT IS?
>> WHAT THE OVERALL UTILIZATION
RATE IS. THANK YOU.
>> I'M SURE THEY CARE MORE
ABOUT THAT AND OUR BETTER
POSITION TO ACT, THANK YOU.
>> LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE REACHED
THE END OF TODAY'S AGENDA. IF
THERE ARE NO FURTHER BUSINESS
TO COME BEFORE WE ADJOURN.
HEARING NO FURTHER BUSINESS TO
COME UP WITH THE COMMITTEE, WE
ARE ADJOURNED. THANK YOU.
