C:\Documents and Settings\devans\Local Settings\Temp\Agenda Bill Explore Life Contract Amendment 2.doc � I CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING DEPARTMENT 4EMORANDUM DATE: September 29, 2003 TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, President City Council Members VIA: \G Mayor(Jesse Tanner FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator "` Economic Development, Neighborhoods, and Strategic Planning Department (x 6592) SUBJECT: Explore Life Funding a ISSUE: Should the City of Renton amend a contract with Maura O'Neill for her continued efforts related to the planning and development of Explore Life, an economic development strategy for Renton and the Greater Puget Sound region? RECOMMENDATION: • Authorize an addendum to the contract with Maura O'Neill for consultant services related to Explore Life in the amount of$50,000. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The 2003 carry-forward request includes a $200,000 CIP line item to provide further funding for Explore Life. To date, no money from this line item has been spent. At the June 16, 2003, City Council meeting, Maura O'Neill outlined the Explore Life business plan during a special presentation. At that time, Mayor Tanner expressed his excitement for the effort and recommended a$50,000 allocation from that CIP line item to Explore Life with hope that others in the region would contribute. If no regional interest was expressed in the subsequent months, he recommended that the City not spend additional monies on the effort. October 1, 2003 Page 2 During New Business, there was a motion and second for approval of the Mayor's recommendation. Several Council members asked for more time to review the draft business plan before committing additional resources. The motion was subsequently withdrawn. Prior to that meeting and since the end of March, Ms. O'Neill had been working to finalize the Explore Life business plan without compensation from the City. She has since submitted invoices for work performed through June 20, 2003 totaling $50,000. Since that date, Ms. O'Neill has continued to work the Explore Life effort without the expectation of compensation unless additional financial commitments are obtained. While no additional contributions have been collected, significant effort has gone in to bringing about regional support and furthering the concept. Highlights include: • Finalization of the Explore Life Business Plan(attached). • Ms. O'Neill's participation at the Biotechnology Industry Organization conference in Washington DC, where she met with industry leaders from around the world and held personal meetings with Senators Murray and Cantwell, Representative Dunn, and staff of Representative Smith about Explore Life and the opportunity in Renton. • An Explore Life Founders Luncheon at which 12 high level regional thought leaders were presented the business plan and asked for their participation. • Recruitment of eight public and private sector regional leaders each committed to raise between$100,000 and $150,000 toward the $1.5 million initial operating budget outlined in the business plan. • A verbal commitment from Snohomish County Executive Bob Drewel for $25,000. • - Continued meetings with executives from biotechnology companies with invitations to participate in the effort. • Recruitment of two teams of University of Washington Executive MBA students from Singapore to produce business plans examining potential for-profit entities under the Explore Life umbrella. As evidenced by the recent Seattle Times editorial (attached), Explore Life is gaining momentum and there remains tremendous interest in making the Explore Life vision a reality. CONCLUSION: Maura O'Neill has and continues to provide a tremendous service to the City of Renton by catalyzing regional participation in Explore Life. This effort has the potential to transform the future of the City and provide a new economic engine for the entire Puget Sound region. Her efforts to produce and finalize the Explore Life Business Plan should be compensated. Therefore, the Administration recommends authorization to amend Ms. O'Neill's contract for October 1, 2003 Page 3 an additional amount of$50,000. While efforts continue to raise additional fmancial contributions from the public and private sector throughout the region, the City of Renton •• should not contribute any additional imonies beyond this:.contract amendment unless significant contributions from other potential stakeholders are secured. i Attachments: Amended scope of work,Explore Life Business Plan,Seattle Times editorial cc: Jay Covington • ' • .

But the facts of the matter are that we have never made the national decisions or marshaled the national resources required for such leadership. We have never specified long- range goals on an urgent time schedule, or managed our resources and our time so as to ensure their fulfillment. John F.Kennedy "Man on the Moon'Speech May 25,1961 Introduction Globally we possess the resource and talents needed to save lives and improve the quality of life of people all over the planet. Along the way we can create global partnerships and understanding among people,massive numbers of jobs in local communities and perhaps even discover a cure for a disease that is robbing someone in your family of being able to stick around to see their grandchild get married.

E merging centers have put forth large amounts of public.money to attract development to their community. Explore Life is different. It is a regional commitment to global health science and is committed to building global science partnerships. We want life science to make dramatic progress and are willing to provide the leadership needed so breakthroughs can happen. Our region has a unique opportunity, with key resources that can catalyze change. And working with people around the world and from different disciplines we can make these breakthroughs. Global health science has reached the point where major advances are dependent on convergence with other scientific disciplines. Mathematics, chemistry, computer science, physics, imaging, nanotechnology, information science, communications all must collide with genetics, biology,botany and the rest of life science. Puget Sound, in conjunction with partners around the world, is where that convergence can begin to happen. As N obel-prize 1 aureate Lee H artwell s ays, "We are one o f t he few t hat c ould become a global center". Explore Life recognizes that global health science needs to leverage the knowledge of scientists worldwide. We have a plan for bringing these great minds together in Puget Sound both physically and virtually. Our research engines are world leaders. Our corporations are global innovators. Look at the resources we can focus on this problem. • The University of Washington is the number one public research university in the nation.2 2 Biotechnology and Medical Device Industry in Washington State:An Economic Analysis;Huckell/Weiman Associates December 2002 • The Hutch is the number one private research institution.3 • We have the third highest concentration of Life Scientists in the world.4 • Our state's share of the NIH's 28 billion annual budget is growing faster than any otherjregion.s • Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has one of the highest concentrations of PhDs in the country. • Some o f the world's 1 argest b io-pharmaceutical and medical technology companies have a presence (e.g. Amgen,Merck and Chiron) in the region. • Home to world-leading information technology and wireless companies including Microsoft, AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile and Cray, Inc.

As this is developed and the space absorbed, new developments will come on line in Renton, Tukwila, North Bay, Bothell, Bellevue and elsewhere in the region. All the pieces are in place, all that is needed is the commitment to lead.

Connecting the world's greatest minds will result in better science. We will move closer to being able to predict the behavior of living systems. Drug and gene therapies will have higher success rates. Devastating diseases will be defeated. Human life will be improved. We will change the way drugs are developed within a decade. Over the next ten years 100,000 new jobs will be created in the region. These are jobs with the highest average salary o f any industry.6 These are jobs that will force us to push forward education. These are not just a few PhDs drinking coffee at a local Starbucks. These are jobs in marketing, administration, law, manufacturing, project management and other areas. These are jobs that will use the proven skills of our work force.

The Roadmap Mission The mission of Explore Life is to be ... A global team who creates a place, both physical and virtual, where technology and science collide to produce breakthrough discoveries in global health science. Goals Within a decade we will revolutionize the way we conquer global disease by developing new fundamental understandings of living systems and new methods of prevention and treatment. That is what Explore Life is all about. Is the problem enormously complex and the roadmap unclear?Yes. But we know how to start. 6 US Census Data 2002 • I We didn't know how we going to get to the moon by the end of the decade when JFK made his historic speech. And we don't ,"" know exactly know how we are going to revolutionize global health within a decade but we know we will. We just need tot specify long-range goals with an urgent kg� r~ time schedule and marshal local ands international talent and resources. And we { ' need to take the first strategic steps. Our region has the opportunity to become an international hubl for the exchange of ideas and research, development of applications, and manufacture of products :... The goals are: 1. Build global partnerships and promote the region locally and globally as world center for breakthrough global health sciences. 2. Create vibrant new work/live environments that are focused on breakthrough global health science exploration and development. 3. Strengthen lour existing research institutes in their understanding of the human celll and the rate at which knowledge is turned into breakthrough discoveries and products benefiting healthcare. 4. Equip our people and their children with the skills to secure excellent jobs in life sciences. Explore Life started as the brainchild of researchers at the University of Washington, business leaders, and elected leaders in Renton. It has now moved to encompass the whole Puget Sound Region with a variety of partners. Strategies The premise of Explore Life is to start with a few specific strategies to launch the initiative but also to welcome and nurture additional ideas and projects throughout its history. There are a number,of strategies that other organizations have undertaken and are launching that support Explore Life's goals. Many of them are essential to the success of Explore; Life. There are many organizations locally, including the .public and private research institutions, venture capitalists, economic development commissions, cities, the Washington Biotechnology and Biomedical Association, Technology Alliance, biotech and technology companies and others who have made enormous contributions to building today's's bioscience foundation • in the region. Explore Life's strategies are designed to be complementary and additive not competitive. It will take all of these continued efforts to achieve major success in global health science. Explore Life believes it is essential to build strong partnerships throughout the world to accelerate the discovery and sharing of information. The focus on this plan is to articulate a set of strategies for Explore Life. Just as President Kennedy articulated the end goal, 'Man on the moon by the end of the decade' he began with a few first steps. These are the first few steps for Explore Life: 1. Build global partnerships and promote the region locally and globally as a world center for breakthrough life sciences • Hold Explore Life Summits & Congress Explore Life is The Summits and Congress have the goal of bringing 1,000 of beginning to the world's top scientists to the region over the next 3 years. extend this These events and the related activities will result in the invitation to convergence of hundreds of scientists from different others around disciplines to focus on the key challenges of global health the state and the world;to join science. this most important Beginning in early 2004 a series of six science Summits will journey of the be held. Each summit will bring together six to eight world 2r century. renowned scientists to discuss and explore a key issue in global health science. These summits will last three days and include visits, dinners and events with other scientists in the region. The objectives of each Summit will include: • Analysis of a key global health science question from the perspective of different scientific disciplines • Identification of who the leading scientific minds are worldwide • Discussion of suitable questions for subsequent Summits • Discussion of how the Discovery Station might work In early 2005 Explore Life will initiate a f fw, Z £ �r global health sciences Congress to be held ' . aj, R` f ` ♦ k every three years. This event will bringIl .ff. n t y w together scientists from around the globe 4 to present their research in a wide variety " '"` V , , of scientific disciplines. The objective ofw, 4-414 this congress will be to have at least half of all living Nobel laureates and the top 200 scientific minds in the world gather in Puget Sound for a week of interaction and discussion. The Congress will also be open to any scientist who wishes to attend. The goal for total participants is 1,000. Sponsorship will be sought from federal, state and local governments as well as from corporations and major pharmaceutical companies. These events will bring world-renowned scientists to the region and provide tremendous recruiting opportunities for our research organizations. A secondary goal of these events is to recruit at least three Nobel caliber scientists to join our existing academic/research community in the next five years. • Secure Explore Life regional, national and global partners. The best minds and resources to fulfill the Explore Life "Life science will vision are scattered around the world. Unlike the space race, have to go beyond Explore Life will reach out to public and private partners narrowly studying around the world for participation and support. This will one gene at a time and start probing take the form of strategic alliances, academic joint ventures the complicated and internet based collaborative efforts. Utilizing interplay of genes collaboration technology such as Silicon Chalk's Explore and proteins along Life will facilitate the active involvement, and investment of a disease's entire life science organizations around the world. cellular pathway. That will require unprecedented Scientists from Boston, Munich, Singapore, San Francisco cooperation across ; and elsewhere will be recruited to participate in the a range of leadership of Explore Life. International institutions, sciences. "This is powerful,"says I national trade associations, major pharmaceutical companies Ronald M.Evans, I and federal agencies will be encouraged to participate in a professor at the ! setting collaborative goals. The problems of life science are Salk Institute for I too big for any single individual or institution to solve. Biological Studies Partnerships that reach across national, corporate and in La Jolla,Calif. academic boundaries are needed. The idea is to look at larger, more global • Build an Explore Life International Discovery questions,and Station understand the coordinating While attracting a new institution is key, creating our activities of genes, cells,and organs." own may prove the most impactful of all. The crown jewel of the region will be �- ` „ f.Y gi the Explore Life International Discovery Station. In 25 years this campus where brilliant minds-come together will have a reputation = , similar to that of the Pasteur and Nobel Institutes. In this place the world's greatest scientists from different disciplines will come together to solve the s greatest challenges in global health science. Akin to the International Space Station, in that, a number of scientists from different countries across a variety of disciplines,this Discovery Station will be will be physically co-located for a period of time. Each country(or a sponsoring foundation) would underwrite the costs of a portion of the station. The principal location for this Station will be in the Puget Sound region but other satellite . stations could be built around the world. The Discovery Station will host 15 to 20 scientists from a range of disciplines. • World renown researchers from institutions such as the UW, WSU,the Hutch, ISB, Amgen, Merck and others from around the world may take sabbaticals or extended leaves to participate in this collaborative environment. They will be provided research assistants, lab space and computation resources for one to three years. These scientists, from varied disciplines,will have the freedom to pursue basic research in global health science without the constraints of an academic institution or for-profit corporation. It is anticipated that they would agree to spend at least six months of the year in residence at the Discovery Station. Explore Life will perform a feasibility study and an analysis of the interest in creating this Discovery Station. In the event that a physical Discovery Station proves not to the best step, Explore Life will examine creating a virtual International Discovery Station. In this case, an intelligent search and query system could be created in which the data and findings in the broad area of global health science will be accessible by students and researchers around the globe. International players are looking for partners to strengthen their Life Science expertise:Singapore,Shanghai,Munich 2. Strengthen our existing research institutes in their understanding of the human cell and the rate at which knowledge is turned into breakthrough discoveries and products benefiting healthcare. • Provide research and auxiliary space to the research universities in half the 'k '` 'lrIrli time and at least 15% less cost. '` �. �_ The public and private research institutions in Washington State provide the essential discovery 941 work that is needed to fuel this global life science . .; leadership. They are currently hampered by the lack of space in which to grow and continue this development work. While the research universities of the state receive a small fraction of their money from the state, they are burdened by requirements that dramatically increase the cost and time toconstruct research space. This reduces the competitiveness of the university and the ability of it to grow as fast as it can. The new genome and bioengineering complex at the University of Washington will cost $150 million and taken X years from conception. Saving over $33 million and cutting the delivery time in half for future facilities is significant. This type of innovation is going to be critical if the research institutions are going to take the next leap of growth. The UW has been actively working on alternative delivery mechanisms that tackle this problem. It is committed to seeking new ways to produce the space needed for its faculty and staff to thrive. Explore Life, as a 501-c-3, will design, build, deliver and operate research and auxiliary space. It will solicit partners in the private sector for this work in a fair and open process. In development of this strategy Explore Life has prepared detailed pro formats to examine this opportunity and to identify where the cost and time savings are likely to come from. The buildings will be constructed with the same or better quality than the University requires. With gene sequencers and cytometers costing $250,000 to $1 million, research is often delayed by equipment access limitations. However there may be an opportunity to creat a pool of equipment used by several institutions and corporations. • Through Explore Life's community-building outreach, solicit support for Washington's research institutions. While the public andlprivate research institutions have significant community and philanthropic outreach, Explore Life can assist this effort. It will be conducting massive outreach the community educating people about the value of the institutions and calling on them to support specific initiatives of these institutions (e.g. lease-lid lifts, capital campaigns, state legislative agendas, etc.). This s trategy w ill b e carried out i n conjunction with other efforts and not a s a separate program. Each quarter the major research institutions will be asked what messages and actions they would like to see incorporated into Explore Life's outreach. 3. Create new vibrant work/live r, environments focused ons fit breakthrough life science exploration � r-� r'1. N .2��Y and development ob. . z ; . Great discoveries don't happen in isolation. Does ;Al `$ ��Y; it require many lonely hours of a brilliant scientist E :q@ in an individual lab. Absolutely. But the next big breakthroughs are going to come through . massive amounts, of collaboration across disciplines. We are going to accelerate that discovery by creating vibrant new work/live communities where this work is done. In choosing strategies that would result in creation of 100,000 jobs one could focus on the early company formation (e.g. tech transfer, venture capital, tax exemptions, etc.). Or one could focus on the other end of the spectrum- attracting large new institutions that can form the basis of new discovery work, provide research opportunities and become a major source of intellectual property creation, spin-off and commercialization. The University of Washington, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Institute for Systems Biology are examples of this latter model. Both strategies (small company, big institution) are critical to the success of • • Explore Life and necessary for major job creation. In its first steps, Explore Life has chosen to focus on the latter, become laser focused on attracting or creating one to three major institutions- public or private, federal or international, as anchors tenants of new collaborative research communities. • Attract new, major tenants to live/work science communities. While the City of Seattle, UW Medical School, Vulcan and other property ;.3' A'''''7,-%777-,,,,,-‘77777.7., ; . : ,, owners in the South Lake Union have made great progress in the development . - ` -4- 1 �., of the area's first life sciences ''' ',,` ` ��' .: community.

Explore Life will ' 4 .' � Courtesy:Vulcan Properties assist in securing high-quality tenants for our first major live/work life science center(South Lake Union). k There are however, a wide range of space needs Jvs. within the life science community. While South j 1, Lake Union will be attractive to some our region a,'; v .. ' _° will need to develop a number of locations to ..-,,.E•a . _ 2,4V, accommodate the additional and different needs. .•' Y' 1. _ Other developments will be needed, with differing R n"a cost structures, footprints, expansion ability, --s. attributes and dates ' r 'ji For example Renton has already taken a leadership 4ogs. ii 11 position in preparing for a major science city. Some life science organizations require substantial amounts of land. They thrive in urban environments but require substantial space for growth. Renton is preparing the way for access • to such unique large tracts of land within an attractive live work environment. The Port of Seattle has also shown leadership in this are, recognizing that life science is a key component of the region's economic growth. The "Port" has a history of developing innovative methods of funding major infrastructure investments that have driven the growth of our region. A global marketing campaign will be developed to fill our existing facilities with new life science entities and recruit at least one new major science entity to the area within the next two years. Explore Life will assist regional property owners in developing a target list of potential tenants. This will be done by management and staff of Explore Life through conversations with scientists and business • • people in the life science community,both regionally and worldwide. These targets will be categorized by the size and type of facility required and the time frame in which facilities will be needed. Yet a principal goal of Explore Life will be to recruit or create a major new federal or institutional presence to the region. The ideal entity will bring several hundred new jobs to the region immediately and have significant growth in the future. Attracting and capturing such a presence will require a coordinated effort among many different entities such as city, county and state government, the Port of Seattle, University of Washington, ISB, the Hutch and other academic and research institutions as well as major corporations such as Boeing, and Microsoft. It is Explore Life's role to act as the focal point for efforts by all the related players in the region J One of the newest trends in academia is to start joint programs between major institutions. For example, Columbia University's business school has initiated a partnership with the!London School of Economics and the University of California, Berkeley. Explore Life will take this model and solicit participation for a new branch campus of a major institute in conjunction with one of our major universities. The aim, again, is to increase the intellectual density of the region and broaden the number of scientists doing the fundamental discovery work. A final target list of potential major new tenants will be agreed upon, in conjunction with the academic, federal, international and corporate communities. This target list will have three major categories: • Federal Agencies(e.g. Department of Energy, Centers for Disease Control, National Institutes of Health,Department of Defense,National Science Foundation, etc.). • Major International Pharmaceuticals—Glaxo, Bayer, Sankyo, Takeda, etc. • Academic/Health Institutions-branch campuses (in conjunction with our existing academic institutions). Examples could include: Shanghai Jiao Tong University,National University of Singapore, Institute of Genetics (Chinese Academy of Science),Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (Cambridgeshire,U.K.);Mayo Clinic A SWAT team lead by a major business leader would be formed for each of the categories listed above. The group would focus on landing a preliminary expression of interest within one year and a commitment within two years from one entity in each category. 4. Equip our people and their children with the skills to secure excellent jobs in life science. Explore Life will foster a number of programs to nurture community involvement in this global health science effort. • Raise the science acumen of the region by making everyone aware ' of and excited about Explore Life. Right out of the gate, over the next 60 days Explore Life will have a speaking and promotional blitz to raise awareness of the global health science opportunity. Working with Rotary and other service clubs, schools and other organizations Explore Life will make presentations describing the huge task we, as a region, are undertaking. Other activities are planned as well, such as an interactive edutainment website developed by a volunteer team of educators and video-game designers. Also planned are K throughl2 school programs that get children involved in life science studies. This will involve academic/research volunteers who develop curricula, life science camps and high school life science competitions. • Establish an Explore Life Scholars program. The Explore Life Scholar program will be offered for ten years. Two students will be chosen from each legislative district in Washington State each year as Explore Life Scholars.- This program will offer students four significant opportunities : • Financial assistance for tuition and books, • Guaranteed admission to one of the two state research universities, • Internships and special programs, and • A guaranteed job in global health science-related field upon graduation with required GPA minimum. The purpose of this scholarship program is two fold. First it will inspire students to further education and to become the next generation of scientists. Second it will promote awareness statewide of the Life science international leadership position of the region in global health needs an science. Explore Life, through its sponsors, will provide %2 the educated money and the local communities would be expected to raise workforce: the match for the program. High School 7% Bachelors As international partners join Explore Life this program will be /Associate 44% duplicated in other locations around the world with the intent Masters 25% of bringing these top students to our region for undergraduate PhD 24% and advanced study. Nuts & Bolts Over the next three months Explore Life must go through the mechanics of establishing an organization that can achieve these goals. Yet even while performing the traditional tasks of hiring staff and setting up an office, Explore Life will be moving forward with its agenda to push global health science forward. r , • Explore Life's office will be a center for marketing the region and promoting life science. It will have dioramas and artists conceptions of all the potential life science facilities. It will have rotating displays showing off the latest research at ISB, UW, Cell Systems Initiative, PNNL, the Hutch and our other research engines. The process of recruiting staff will be used to publicize the eventual requirements of an expanding life sbience community. And in the very first weeks, Explore Life will do something few non-profits even consider. Explore Life will initiate employment and academic surveys to provide a baseline from which the organizations performance can be measured. A survey of life science employment will allow measurement against the goal of attracting 100,000 new jobs in the next 10 years. A survey of academic activity will provide a base to determine if life science has truly been pushed forward. Milestones A detailed work plan has been developed that describes the specific activities of Explore Life over the next 24-36 months. Initial key milestones from this work plan include: • 60 Day Blitz (public awareness campaign) Oct-Nov 2003 • Opening of the Explore Life Marketing Center September 2003 • The First Summit January 2003 • Initiation of the Scholarship Program March 2004 • Launch of the Edutainment Website December 2004 Resources A detailed financial!model has been developed to determine the level of resources needed to achieve the objectives of Explore Life. Given the benefits to both the region and the world the return on investment is dramatic. Initial funding of$1.5 million is required,with an additional$1.0 million to be raised from other sources in the first year. This first round of funding is expected to be raised from local government, corporations and private donors. It is expected the majority of this funding will be obtained from institutional and corporate sponsorship, federal grants, and regional governmental contributions. A worldwide sponsorship-structure similar to the International Olympic Committee will be developed to secure the long-term funding. • • Explore Life Team Providing leadership to the world in life science will require participation from everyone in the region. Many organizations have taken an active role in getting Explore Life launched, including: Area Chambers of Commerce Lehman Brothers Seattle Biomedical Research Mortensen Construction Institute Northwest Association for The Boeing Company Biomedical Research CH2M Hill/IDC Platform Creative Cities of Renton, Seattle Port of Seattle CollinsWoerman Preston Gates Ellis Economic development councils of RAND Corporation King, Snohomish,Pierce counties Seattle NW Securities Encompass Ventures Segale Business Parks Federal Home Loan Bank Shapiro&Associates Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research STRATOS Center Technology Alliance The Office of Gary Locke University of Washington Harbor Properties Valley Medical Center IBM Life Sciences Vulcan Immunex (former staff) Washington Biotechnology& Institute for Systems Biology Biomedical Association Kidder Matthews WRF Capital King and Snohomish Counties Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Lease Crutcher Lewis Key members of the working group that has launched Explore Life include: Norman B.

SPECIAL � PRESENTATIONS Fire: 2002 Firefighter of the See pale 214 for the 2002 Firefighter of the Year presentation. Year Award Planning:Explore Life Project Alex Pietsch,Economic Development,Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning Administrator introduced Maura O'Neill, CEO of the Explore Life initiative, who gave a briefing on the Explore Life business plan. She explained that Explore Life is an opportunity to become a global leader in new science exploration and discovery. Explore Life could potentially create 100,000 new jobs in the region over the next decade, and redevelop large tracts of unique land. Ms. Oreill stated that Explore Life has four quantifiable goals as follows: • Strengthen our existing world class research engines. • Create vibrant new work/live environments that are focused on breakthrough science exploration and development. • Build global partnerships and promote the region locally and globally as a world center for breakthrough global health sciences. • Equip our people and their children with the skills to secure excellent jobs in life sciences. She detailed the strategies that have been developed for each goal such as providing research and auxiliary space to research universities; attracting new, major tenants;building an international discovery station; securing regional, national, and global partners; and conducting community outreach. Continuing,Ms. O'Neill stated that initial funding of$1.5 million is required for Explore Life, and ongoing annual funding requirements are approximately $2.5 million. Anticipated funding sources are federal grants,regional governmental contributions, and institutional and corporate sponsorship. She detailed Renton's role in the initiative,which includes being positioned as the June 16,2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 213 new center for bioscience,encouraging community involvement,resolving land availability issues, and supporting region-wide Explore Life implementation. hi conclusion Ms. O'Neill reported that the next steps for Explore Life are to finalize the plan,secure the next round of financing, and launch Explore Life with a community-wide 60-day outreach. Councilman Parker expressed his appreciation for Ms. O'Neill's enthusiasm for the project, and stated that he is excited about the possibilities this initiative holds for the future. Councilman Corman commented that Renton needs to work on determining what property is available for the project. 1 Mayor Tanner expressed his excitement for the effort and recommended a $50,000{l allocation to Explore Life for its continuation with hope that Renton's support would encourage others in the region to contribute. If no region-wide interest is expressed within the next couple of months, he recommended • proceeding with the effort at the City level. (See page 215 for further discussion of this issue.) - ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2003 and beyond. Items noted included: * Renton swimming beaches at both Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park and Kennydale Beach Park will open on June 21, and lifeguards will be on duty at both beaches from noon to 8:00 p.m. * Numerous questions have arisen about noise associated with the pile- driving activities at the Sam's Club construction project next to City Hall. This new building requires 719 steel casings (piles)be driven to depths of up:to 70 feet to support the building foundation. This process is estimated . to take three full weeks,but the time may vary depending on site conditions. Commercial construction activities are restricted to between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.,Monday through Friday, and between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Saturdays.

Our region has a highly educated and adaptable workforce. This workforce has led the world in key technology revolutions over the past 50+ years. It started with William Boeing when he launched one of the most successful airplane companies the world would ever know. Mr. Boeing also established a relationship between business and education that would be emulated by other Washingtonian business leaders for years to come. By building a wind tunnel for the University of Washington, Boeing made possible courses in aeronautics—a benefit for both his growing company and the community.

That is what Explore Life is all about. Is the problem enormously complex and the roadmap unclear?Yes. But we know how to start. We didn't know how we were going to get to the moon by the end of the decade when JFK made his historic speech. And we don't know exactly how we are going to revolutionize understandings within a decade but we know we will. We just need to specify long-range goals with an urgent time schedule and marshal local and international talent and resources. And we need to take the first strategic steps. 6 US Census Data 2002 6/12/2003 Page 4 of 14 Our region has the opportunity to become an international hub for the exchange of ideas and research, development of applications, and manufacture of products. The specific objectives are: 1. Strengthen our existing research institutes in their understanding of the human cell and the rate at which knowledge is turned into breakthrough discoveries and products benefiting healthcare. 2. Create vibrant new work/live environments that are focused on breakthrough global health science exploration and development. 3. Build global partnerships and promote the region locally and globally as a world center for breakthrough global health sciences. 4. Equip our people and their children with the skills to secure excellent jobs in life sciences. Explore Life started as the brainchild of researchers at the University of Washington,business leaders, and elected leaders in Renton. It has now moved to encompass the whole Puget Sound Region with a variety of partners. Strategies The premise of Explore Life is to start with a few specific strategies to launch the initiative but also to welcome and nurture additional strategies and projects throughout its history. Explore Life is beginning to There are many established organizations locally, including the public and private extend this research institutions, venture capitalists, economic development commissions, invitation to cities, the Washington Biotechnology and Biomedical Association, Technology others around Alliance,biotech and technology companies and others who have made enormous the state and the world;To join contributions to building today's bioscience foundation in the region. Their this most support and continued innovation is essential to achieving the goals of Explore important Life. journey of the 215 Century. Explore Life's strategies are designed to be complementary and additive not competitive. It will take all of these continued efforts to achieve major success in global health science. Explore Life believes it is essential to build strong partnerships throughout the world to accelerate the discovery and sharing of information. The focus on this plan is to articulate a set of strategies for Explore Life. Just as President Kennedy articulated the end goal, 'Man on the moon by the end of the decade' he began with a few first steps. These are the first few steps for Explore Life: 6/12/2003 Page 5 of 14 Objective 1: Strengthen our existing research institutes in their understandinglof the human cell and the rate at which knowledge is turned into breakthrough discoveries and products benefiting healthcare. Strategy 1: Provide research and auxiliary space to the research ;:._ --- universities in half the time and at least • ` 15% less cost. kit, 71- o - The public and private research institutions r , • e:. 1 � � � " in this state provide the essential discovery � work that is needed to fuel this global life 43}' science leadership Theyare currently ; �.:i. hampered by the lack of space in which to grow and continue this development work. While the research universities of the state receive a small fraction of their money from the state, tliey are burdened by requirements that dramatically increase the cost and time to construct research space. This reduces the competitiveness of the university and the ability of it to grow as fast as it can. The new genome and bioengineering complex at the University of Washington will cost $150 million. Saving over $33 million and reducing the delivery time in half for future facilities is quite significant. This type of innovation is going to be critical if the research institutions are going to take the next leap of growth. The UW has been actively working on alternative delivery mechanisms that tackle this problel . It is committed to seeking new ways to produce the space Life Science will needed for its fac'lty and staff to thrive. have to go beyond narrowly studying one gene at a time Explore Life, as is 501-c-3, will design, build, deliver and operate research and and start probing auxiliary space. It will solicit partners in the private sector for this work in a fair the complicated and open process. In development of this strategy Explore Life has prepared interplay of genes I and proteins along detailed pro formats to examine this opportunity and to identify where the cost a disease's entire and time savings'are likely to come from. The buildings will be constructed with cellular pathway. the same or better quality than the University requires. That will require - unprecedented cooperation across Strategy 2: Through Explore Life's community building outreach, solicit a range of sciences. "This is support for the research institutions in the state. powerful,"says i Ronald M.Evans, While the public and private research institutions have significant community and a professor at the philanthropic outreach, Explore Life can assist this effort. It will be conducting Salk Institute for massive outreach in the community educating people about the value of the Biological Studies . in La Jolla,Calif. institutions and calling on them to support specific initiatives of these institutions "The idea is to (e.g. lease-lid lifts, capital campaigns, state legislative agendas, etc.). look at larger, more global This strategy will be carried out in conjunction with other strategies and not as a questions,and separate program!. Each quarter the major research institutions will be asked what understand the coordinating messages and actions they would like to see incorporated into our outreach. activities of genes, 6/12/2003 Page 6 of 14 cells,and organs."'

In choosing strategies that would result in creation of 100,000 jobs one could focus on the early company formation (e.g. tech transfer, venture capital, tax exemptions, etc.). Or one could focus on the other end of the spectrum- attracting new large institutions that can form the basis of new discovery work, provide research opportunities and become a major source of intellectual property creation, spin-off and commercialization. The University of Washington, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Institute for Systems Biology are examples of this latter model. • Both strategies (small company, big institution) are critical to the success of Explore Life and necessary for major job creation. In its first steps, Explore Life has chosen to focus on the latter, become laser focused on attracting or creating 1- 3 major institutions- public or private, federal or international, as anchor tenants of new collaborative research communities. Strategy 3: Attract new, major tenants to live/work science communities. While the City of Seattle, UW Medical School, Vulcan and other property ., `Ir . - owners in the South Lake Union area will take the principal responsibility for '__ya- this, Explore Life wants to ensure that RF ` � ij �� � c� � Ali our first life science community is built VA t�� I' S E.7EI 'a 4' rc�7-tt f-44i out on time or ahead of expected ° F 'r NA schedule.

While South Lake Union will .b be attractive to some our region will need to ` develop a number of locations. Other ' ' developments will be needed, with differing cost _' .s structures, footprints, expansion ability, attributes and completion dates. :{ 1= ----- For example Renton has already taken a leadership •-td'0f; , position in preparing for a major science city. Some Life Science organizations require substantial amounts of land. They thrive in urban environments but require substantial space for growth. Renton is preparing the way for access to such unique large tracts of land within an attractive live work environment. A global marketing campaign will be developed to fill our existing facilities with new life science entities and recruit at least one new major science entity to the area within the next two years. Explore Life will assist regional property owners in developing a target list of potential tenants. This will be done by management and staff of Explore Life through conversations with scientists and business people in the Life Science community,both regionally and worldwide. These targets will be categorized by the size and type of facility required and the time frame in which facilities will be needed. Yet a principal goal of Explore Life will be to recruit or create a major new federal or institutional presence to the region. The ideal entity will bring several hundred new jobs to the region immediately and have significant growth in the Fifteen years ago Edmonds future' Community College Attracting and capturing such a presence will require a coordinated effort among established a many different entities such as city, county and state government,the Port of branch campus in Ja an. The Seattle,University of Washington, ISB, the Hutch and other academic and p research institutions as well as major corporations such as Boeing and Microsoft. Government of Singapore is It is Explore Lifel's role to act as the focal point for efforts by all the related currently funding players in the region. joint research projects between One of the newest developments in academia is to start joint programs between the UW two major institutions. For example, Columbia University's business school has Department of Bioengineering initiated a partnership with the London School of Economics and the University and their of California, Berkeley. Explore Life will take this model and solicit participation university. for a new branch!campus of a major institute or university. The aim, again, is to Explore Life is increase the intellectual density of the region and broaden the basic number of using this model scientists doing the fundamental discovery work. and solicit participation for a new branch A final target list;of potential major new tenants will be agreed upon, in campus of a major conjunction with the academic, federal, international and corporate communities. institute or This target list will have three major categories: university. 6/12/2003 Page 8 of 14 • Federal Agencies—DOE, CDC,NIH, DOD,NSF, etc. • Major International Pharmaceuticals—Glaxo, Bayer, Sankyo, Takeda, etc. • Academic/Health Institutions-branch campuses (could be in conjunction with our existing academic institutions) University of Shanghai, Singapore, Institute of Genetics (Chinese Academy of Science), Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (Cambridgeshire, U.K.); Mayo Clinic A SWAT team lead by a major business leader would be formed for each of these major categories listed above. The group would focus on landing a preliminary expression of interest within one year and a commitment within two years from one in each category. Strategy 4: Build an international Explore Life International Discovery Station While attracting a new institution is key, creating our own may prove the most impactful of all. The crown jewel of the region will be the Explore Life International Discovery Discovery 0$47gym. Station. In 25 years this campus where brilliant minds come ;rr;-4 i together will have a reputation similar to that of the Pasteur and Nobel Institutes. In this place the world's greatest scientists from different disciplines will come together to International solve the greatest challenges in Global Health Science. players are r 4: looking for This Discovery Station will be akin to the International Space ; �`'" partners to strengthen their Station, in that, a number of scientists from different countries P :. ,,ju Life Science across a variety of disciplines,will be physically co-located expertise; for a period of time. Each country(or a sponsoring foundation)would underwrite Singapore the costs of a portion of the station. The principal location for this Station will be in the Puget Sound region but other satellite stations could be built around the Shanghai world. Munich The Discovery Station will host 15 to 20 scientists from a range of disciplines. World-renowned researchers from institutions such as the UW, WSU, Hutch, ISB, Amgen,Merck, and others from around the world may take sabbaticals or extended leaves to participate in this collaborative environment. They will be provided research assistants, lab space and computation resources for 1-3.years. These scientists, from varied disciplines, will have the freedom to pursue basic research in Global Health Science without the constraints of an academic institution or for-profit corporation. It is anticipated that they would agree to spend at least six months of the year in residence at the Discovery Station. Explore Life will start out with a feasibility study and an analysis of the interest in creating this Discovery Station. In the event that a physical Discovery Station proves not to the best step, Explore Life will examine creating a virtual International Discovery Station. In this case, an intelligent search and query system could be created in which the data and findings in the broad area of Global Health Science will be accessible by students and researchers around the globe. 6/12/2003 Page 9 of 14 S Objective 3: Build global partnerships and promote the region locally and globally as world center for breakthrough life sciences Strategy 5: Secure Explore Life regional, national and global partners. The best minds and resources to fulfill the Explore Life vision are scattered around the world. Unlike the space race, Explore Life will reach out to public and private partners around the world for participation and support. Strategy 6: Hold Explore Life Summits & Congress The Summits and Congress have the goal of bringing 1,000 of the world's top scientists to the region over the next three years. These events and the related activities will result in the convergence of hundreds of scientists from different disciplines to focus on the key challenges of Global Health Science. Beginning in late 2003 a series of six science Summits will be held. Each summit will bring together six to eight world-renowned scientists to discuss and explore a key issue in Global Health Science. These summits will last three days and include visits, diapers and events with other scientists in the region. The objectives of each Summit will include: • Analysis of a key Global Health Science question from the perspective of other scientific disciplines • Ident fication of who the leading scientific minds are worldwide • Disc ssion of suitable questions for subsequent Summits •, Discission of how the Discovery Station should work In early 2005 Explore Life will initiate a P,� p, I ,..11:,, Global Health Sciences Congress to be 4 ; held every three years.

High School 7% Sponsorship will be sought from federal, state and local governments as well as Bachelors from corporations and major pharmaceutical companies. /Associate 44% Masters 25% These eventswill bring world-renowned scientists to the region and provide PhD 24% tremendous recruiting opportunities for our research organizations. A secondary goal of these events is to recruit at least three Nobel laureate level scientists to join our existing academic/research community in the next five years. 6/12/2003 Page 10 of 14 Objective 5: Equip our people and their children with the skills to secure excellent jobs in Life Science. Explore Life will foster a number of programs to nurture community involvement in this Global Health Science effort. Strategy 7: Make everyone in the region aware of and excited about Explore Life and in the process raise the science acumen. Right out of the gate, over the next 60 days Explore Life will have a speaking and promotional blitz to raise awareness of the Global Health Science opportunity. Working with Rotary Clubs, schools and other organizations Explore Life will make presentations describing the huge task we, as a region, are taking on. Other activities are planned as well such as an interactive edutainment website developed by a volunteer team of educators and video-game designers. Also planned are K-12 school programs. Strategy 8: Establish an Explore Life Scholar program. The Explore Life Scholar program would be offered for .; ten years. Two students would be chosen from each fi MM ' legislative district each year as Explore Life Scholar. ' a ' This program will offer students four things: 7147. • Financial assistance for tuition and books • Guaranteed admission to one of the two state 1f w research universities • Internships and special programs • A guaranteed job in Global Health Science upon graduation with required GPA • minimum. The purpose of this scholarship program is twofold. First, it will inspire students to further education and to become the next generation of scientists. Second it will promote awareness statewide of the international leadership position of the region in Global Health Science. Explore Life, through its sponsors, will provide one-half the money and the local communities would be expected to raise the match for the program. With international partners this program could be duplicated in and with countries around the world. Nuts &Bolts Over the next three months Explore Life must go through the mechanics of establishing an organization that can achieve these goals. Yet even while performing the traditional tasks of hiring staff and setting up an office, Explore 6/12/2003 Page 11 of 14 Life will be moving forward with its agenda.to push Global Health Science forward. Explore Life's office will be a center for marketing the region and promoting life science. It will have dioramas and, artists conceptions of all the potential life science facilities. It will have rotating displays showing off the latest research at ISB, UW, Cell Systems Initiative, PNNL, the Hutch and our other research engines. • The process of recruiting staff will be used to publicize the eventual requirements of an expanding life science community. And in the very 1first weeks,Explore Life will do something few non-profits even consider. Explore Life will initiate employment and academic surveys to provide a baseline from which the organizations performance can be measured. A survey of Life Science employment will allow measurement against the goal of attracting 100,000 new jobs in the next ten years. A survey of academic activity will provide a base tol determine if life science has truly been pushed forward. Milestones A detailed work plan has been developed that describes the specific activities of Explore Life over the next 24-36 months. Key milestones from this work plan include: • 60-Day BI itz September 2003 • Opening of the Explore Life Marketing Center September 2003 • The First Summit October 2003 • Initiation of the Scholarship Program January 2004 • Launch of the Edutainment Website December 2004 • The Science Congress February 2005 Resources A detailed financial model has been developed to determine the level of resources needed to achieve the objectives of Explore Life. Given the benefits to both the region and the world the return on investment is dramatic. Initial funding of$1.5 million is required. This first round of funding is expected to be raised from local government, corporations and private donors. Ongoing annual funding requirements will be approximately$2.5 million. It is expected the majority of this funding will be obtained from federal grants, regional governmental contributions, and institutional and corporate sponsorship. A worldwide sponsorship structure similar to the International Olympic Committee will be developed to secure the long-term funding. 6/12/2003 Page 12 of 14 Explore Life Team Providing leadership to the world in Life Science will require participation from everyone in the region.
