agreements are included in both the Port’s and NWSA’s 2020 budgets.
JUSTIFICATION

carry out its functions. Each port will provide these support functions through an ILA that
describes the services to be provided.
DETAILS
The NWSA needs support and services from both ports in order to carry out its various
administrative functions and operations. Each port intends to execute an ILA with NWSA to
allow the ports to provide those services for 2020. The Port of Seattle budget included the
budgeted amounts for the proposed ILA service agreements with the NWSA.
There are 15 support service agreements that will be implemented as part of this agreement
for 2020 and are attached as exhibits to the ILA.
