AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ATTEST: Jean Lewis, CMC City Clerk (City Seal) THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA Clark Corbridge, Mayor IS" Council Agenda Statement Meeting Date: March 23, 2009 To: City Council Through: Phillip Oates, City Manager From: Tom Clemons, Police Chief Agenda Item: Amend the City Code to permit the use of firearms and bows in designated areas in accordance with State requirements, and to amend ordinances relating to trapping and the use of weapons within the city. BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: I Attached for City Council review and adoption is Ordinance 2009- , which addresses the recent black bear encounters within the City of Seward and additionally provides for historic large and small game hunting. The intent is to allow residents to hunt in specific areas designated by resolution of the City Council, and in accordance with State of Alaska hunting regulations, while promoting safety. The City of Seward has the authority and ability to restrict the discharge of firearms in Seward where people and property may be at risk. By issuing permits for the use of weapons and traps in certain areas, the Seward Police Department will be able to promote safety for all residents. The permits, which would be issued free of charge, shall be required for the use of firearms, archery equipment and traps. The permit application (see attached example) requires a physical address, date of birth, mailing address and contact phone number. The application also notes whether the permit applicant has completed any hunter safety certification that may be required under State of Alaska hunting regulations. The City Code amendments and permitting process will benefit the community and the Seward Police Department, which has received several complaints of hunting near residential areas. Wildlife biologists have said the bear population is increasing, which is pushing the animals into residential areas. Wildlife enforcement officials have said that hunting is a management tool that can mitigate the bear encounters. Local hunters have also requested that the City of Seward allow hunting in the less populated areas of the city, which would control wildlife populations and allow hunters to feed their families. Current ordinances do not adequately address these issues. INTENT: Promote safety by implementing a permit process to allow limited hunting and trapping in designated areas of Seward. I CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures. Other: FISCAL NOTE: The City of Seward will have no costs associated with this amendment to the Land Use Plan and change of zoning designation. Approved by Finance Department ATTORNEY REVIEW: X RECOMMENDATION: City Council approve Ordinance 2009-, amending the City Code to permit the use of firearms and bows in designated areas in accordance with State requirements and to amend ordinances relating to trapping and the use of weapons within the city. 1`1 Sponsored by: Oates CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2009-016 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH HARMON CONSTRUCTION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ADAMS STREET WATERFRONT PAVILION FOR $312,000, PLUS AUTHORIZING ADDITIONAL PROJECT -RELATED COSTS OF $33,000, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS WHEREAS, the Seward community has been eager to replace the Wellington pavilion and Adams Street pavilion which were demolished in 2003 after an engineering assessment determined the two structures were overstressed and posed a potential hazard to the public; and WHEREAS, the pavilion design was modeled after the historic Seward Depot located along Railway Avenue and Fourth Street and the concept was approved by the City Council on June 26, 2006 by Resolution 2006-09; and WHEREAS, a bid for construction for new ocean side pavilions to replace the structures at both Adams Street and Ballaine and D Street and Ballaine was advertised on July 13, 2006 and again on July 20, 2006 in both the Anchorage Daily News and the Seward Phoenix Log; and WHEREAS, thirteen bid packages were sent out and one bid was submitted on August 10, 2006 by Swenson Construction, which is the former business name for the entity currently doing business as Harmon Construction; and WHEREAS, on December 11, 2006 Resolution 2006-98 authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract with Swenson Construction for the construction of one waterfront pavilion in an amount not to exceed $397,000 and appropriating funds was postponed indefinitely; and WHEREAS, on February 20, 2009 Harmon Construction has submitted a revised proposal to the City for value engineering the Adams Street pavilion which maintains the overall appearance of the pavilion much the same as the original bid submitted in August 2006; and WHEREAS, working with City staff, value engineering the project and with the help of volunteers provided by the City, Harmon Construction has substantially reduced the cost of the Adams Street pavilion; and WHEREAS, landscaping, painting, installation of bench and picnic tables, rock facade on barbeque, handicap walkway and other work will be completed by volunteers, staff and City of Seward equipment VS CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2009-016 WHEREAS, the City of Seward has $195,000 from the State of Alaska and the promise of as much as $150,000 from the Alaska SeaLife Center Waterfront Development Fund contingent on public involvement to build the pavilion.

AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ATTEST: Jean Lewis, CMC City Clerk (City Sea]) THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA Clark Corbridge, Mayor �C� Council Agenda Statement Meeting Date: March 23, 2009 To: City Council Through: Phillip Oates, City Manager From: Stefan Nilsson, Building Inspector Agenda Item: Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Harmon Construction for the Construction of the Adams Street waterfront pavilion for $312,000, authorizing $33,000 for additional project costs, and appropriating funds. In 2003, an engineering assessment was conducted determining that the two original pavilions were overstressed and posed a potential hazard to the public. As a result of the study, the two well used structures were demolished. In 2006, Kumin and Associates was contracted to design a pavilion for the Adam's Street site. On March 30, 2006, a public input design meeting was held and the design approved by Council was based on the existing Seward Depot and other criteria were added such as wind screening, durability and natural light. A bid for construction for new ocean side pavilions to replace the structures at both Adams Street and Ballaine and D Street and Ballaine was advertised on July 13, 2006 and again on July 20, 2006 in both the Anchorage Daily News and the Seward Phoenix Log. Thirteen bid packages were sent out and one bid was submitted on August 10, 2006 by Swenson Construction, which is the former business name for the entity currently doing business as Harmon Construction An initial bid for construction was advertised on July 13, 2006. Swenson Construction's, original bid to construct one pavilion was $486,000. This price was higher than anticipated which led to negotiations with the only bidder to modify the proposal. Harmon Construction returned anew proposal of $377,000 resulting in an over $100,000 reduction from the original proposal. At the December 11, 2006 Council meeting, Resolution 2006- 98 authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract with Swenson Construction for the construction of one waterfront pavilion in an amount not to exceed $397,000 and appropriating funds was postponed indefinitely During this time, staff priorities became focused on high priority projects (i.e. the Long Term Care Facility) and there was a reduction in staffing which resulted in this project falling through the cracks. The Building Department has been directed by the City Manager to bring this project to fruition. The Building Department contacted the original and only proposer Harmon Construction in January of 2009 with direction to conduct an updated value engineering proposal regarding the pavilion project. '.© Harmon Construction has submitted a final proposal of $312,000 which incorporates volunteers' assistance, provided by the City, in the build. Volunteers will be utilized for tasks such as painting of the T&G boards for the ceiling, the trim around the walls/windows, and pre -installation of structural members. Other areas for volunteer assistance are brick work for the fireplace, picnic tables, electrical work for interior lights and landscaping. The cost of materials to accomplish these items is estimated to be $33,000. Moving forward with this project and contract with Harmon Construction will be contingent on receipt of written commitment from the Alaska SeaLife Center, of their willingness to contribute $150,000 to this project. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures. Other: FISCAL NOTE: Funding for this project will come from State grant funds in the amount of $195,000 and the Alaska SeaLife Center Waterfront Development fund in the amount of $150,000, pending their approval and will be used for contracted services, materials, and supplies Approved by Finance Department: RECOMMENDATION: Council approve Resolution 2009- �authorizing the City Manager to enter into a construction contract with Harmon Construction for the Adams Street waterfront pavilion in an amount not to exceed $312,000.

Kumin and Associates was awarded authorization to provide design services on March 13, 2006. City Staff and Kumin and Associates conducted a public meeting on March 30, 2006 to gather public input on what the public wanted to see in the new pavilions. The input received was to include design features from the Seward Depot, include wind screening, pavilion is to be durable, and the pavilion is to allow natural light, as some examples. The pavilion concept developed is modeled after the historic Seward Depot located along Railway Avenue and 4`s Avenue. There are many attributes with the Seward Depot that work extremely well for a pavilion, in addition to carrying the railroad theme along the waterfront as it was during the first half of the 1900s.

These two structures were highly used by both the local residents as well as the tourists that visited our community. In 2003, an engineering assessment was conducted that determined that the two structures were overstressed and posed a potential hazard to the public. As a result of the study, the two well- used structures were demolished. On January 12"', 2006, a Request for Proposals was advertised seeking professional design services for an ocean side pavilion to replace the very much missed structures. On March 13, 2006, City Council approved resolution 2006-22 selecting Kumin and Associates as the design firm of choice. On March 20, 2006, Staff and Kumin and Associates conducted a Public Meeting to gather public input regarding the pavilion concept. The input received was to incorporate the following features into the pavilion design: 1. Incorporate design features from local historical architectural styles; particularly the Seward Depot on Railway Avenue, 2. Incorporate the following design features that are essential for our climate: wind screening, durability to the elements, and the pavilion is to allow natural light. The pavilion concept is modeled after the historic Seward Depot located along Railway Avenue and 4'h Street. There are many attributes with the Seward Depot that work extremely well for a pavilion, in addition to carrying the railroad theme along the waterfront as it was during the first half of the 1900's. In fact, the original Seward Depot was located at the base of Adam's Street until 1928 when it was moved to its current location. It seems only fitting to place pavilions modeling this important piece of Seward history along the waterfront in close proximity to the existing depot's original location. The depot concept was advertised in the June 22, 2006 edition of the Seward Phoenix Log to gather additional public comment. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Council also approved of the concept by passing resolution 2006-69 on June 26, 2006. Upon completing the pavilion design, a RFP for bid was initially advertised on July 13, 2006 with a second running on July 20, 2006. Advertisement for bid also ran in the Anchorage Daily News. Thirteen bid packages were sent out and resulted in one submitted bid on August 10, 2006. The grading criterion used to select the contractor was based on fee, local preference, project team, firm resources, litigation history, and references. Seward -based contractor Swenson Construction earned the most points during the evaluation process. Swenson's original bid to construct one of the pavilions was $486,000. RESOLUTION 2006- 22 Page Two City Administration, realizing that this bid was higher than anticipated, went into negotiations with the selected bidder. This included sit down meetings with Swenson and Kumin and Associates to modify the design to cut cost without compromising the design features that the Public Process supported. The biggest area of change included replacing the open truss system with a traditional scissor truss system. This removed a large number of custom brackets, decking, custom timbers and rafters, and replaced them with a readily available truss system. Other areas of cost savings include replacing the cedar shake roof with architectural asphalt shingles, and removing the skylights, to name a few. One area we re-examined for cost savings was the foundation system. The structural engineer, PN&D did not want to modify the foundation system that is required for large open structures including this pavilion. These open structures inherently lack shear strength and are thus stiffened by the combination of a proper foundation and by the use of steel columns. The foundation system that PN&D designed is critical for Seward's seismic, wind, and snow load conditions. The resulting bid by Swenson Construction is $377,000 per pavilion. Adding a contingency in the amount of $20,000 for unforeseen costs, brings the total project amount to NTE $397,000.00 Staff requests Council approve funding in the amount of $397,000 to construct of one waterfront pavilion at either the D Street and Ballaine location or the Adams Street and Ballaine location, and approve Swenson Construction as the contractor to construct both pavilions. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures. FISCAL NOTE: Funding for this pavilion will come from the following sources; $228,301.79 from the remaining balance in the Capital Acquisition Fund, and $168,699, 21 from the General Fund. The balance in the City's General Fund fund balance account at this time is approximately $1.5 million, representing 1.8 months' of expenditures and transfers -out. The City's fund balance policy aims to maintain a balance equal to 3-6 months' reserves ($2.5 to $5.0 million). The use of $168,698 in fund balance would reduce the City's General Fund fund balance to $1.35 million. Approved by Finance Department: RECOMMENDATION: Council approve Resolution 2006- authorizing the City Manager to enter into a construction contract with Swenson Construction for the construction of one waterfront pavilion, and appropriating funding in an amount not to exceed $397,000. �y Sponsored by: Oates CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2009-017 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, RECOGNIZING THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE EXXON VALDEZ OIL SPILL, SUPPORTING THE CONTINUED PRACTICE OF ACCOMPANYING EACH OIL TANKER THROUGH PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND WITH AT LEAST A TWO VESSEL ESCORT, AND SUPPORTING HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO.19 AND SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 11 CURRENTLY BEFORE THE ALASKA LEGISLATURE WHEREAS, March 24, 2009, marks the 201h anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill; and WHEREAS, the Exxon Valdez oil spill was the worst oil tanker spill in the history of the United States contaminating approximately 1,300 miles of Alaska coastline affecting commercial and sport fishing, the tourism industry and the economy in Seward; and WHEREAS, another large spill in Prince William Sound would adversely affect the coastal communities in south central Alaska and cause major environmental damage; and WHEREAS, since the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company and the crude oil shippers have created a world -class oil spill prevention and response system in Prince William Sound; and WHEREAS, the oil tanker vessels transiting Prince William Sound are increasingly of a double -hulled design, as required by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990; and WHEREAS, the Prince William Sound escort system provide immediate on -scene response should a spill occur; and WHEREAS, all loaded tankers, including double hulled oil tankers, are currently escorted by at least two escort vessels through Prince William Sound; and WHEREAS, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 mandates that only single -hulled tankers of 5,000 gross tons or more be escorted by at least two escort vessels while in Prince William Sound; and WHEREAS, there is no assurance in any state or federal law regulation that each oil tanker in Prince William Sound will continue to be escorted by at least two escort vessels capable of providing immediate spill prevention and response; and WHEREAS, since the implementation of the two vessel escort system in Prince William Sound, there have been no major spills and potential accidents have been reduced to near misses; and CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2009-017 WHEREAS, it is imprudent to reduce proven prevention programs based solely on improvements in vessel engineering and design; and WHEREAS, on March 14, 2005 Council passed Resolution 2005-14 in support of maintaining a strong and reliable escort fleet and preserving the practice or requiring two escorts for all laden cruise oil tankers transiting Prince William Sound; and WHEREAS, House Joint Resolution No. 19 and Senate Joint Resolution No. 11 recognizing the 201h anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill and supporting the continued practice of accompanying each oil tanker through Prince William Sound have been introduced in the State of Alaska Twenty -Sixth Legislature.

The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill was the worst oil tanker spill in the history of the United States contaminating approximately 1,300 miles of Alaska coastline. This contamination affected commercial and sport fishing, the tourism industry and the economy in Seward. If another large spill occurred in Prince William Sound ("the Sound") it would not only adversely affect Seward but all the coastal communities in south central Alaska and cause major environmental damage. Since the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company and the crude oil shippers have created a world -class oil spill prevention and response system in the Sound. An increasing number of oil tankers transiting the Sound are of a double -hulled design, as required by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. All loaded tankers, including double -hulled oil tankers, are currently escorted by at least two escort vessels through the Sound providing immediate on - scene response should a spill occur. The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 mandates that only single - hulled tankers of 5,000 gross tons or more be escorted by at least two escort vessels in the Sound and there is no assurance in any state or federal law regulation that the current practice of a two vessel escort will continue. Since the implementation of the two vessel escort system in the Sound, there have been no major spills and potential accidents have been reduced to near misses. It is imprudent to reduce proven prevention programs based solely on improvements in vessel engineering and design. On March 14, 2005, City Council passed Resolution 2005-14, which supported maintaining a strong and reliable escort fleet and preserving the practice of requiring two escorts for all laden cruise oil tankers transiting the Sound. Also, House Joint Resolution No. 19 has been introduced on February 23, 2009 and Senate Joint Resolution No. 11 has been introduced on February 27, 2009 in the State of Alaska Twenty -Sixth Legislature recognizing the 201h anniversary of the spill and supporting the continued practice of accompanying each oil tanker through the Sound. ­J, CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.

Sponsored by: Oates CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2009-018 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, OPPOSING THE PASSAGE OF SENATE BILL 129 "AN ACT RELATING TO STATE AND MUNICIPAL BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS IN CERTAIN RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS" WHEREAS, Senator Menard of District G has introduced a bill which will restrict the municipalities right to require fire sprinklers systems in single-family residential buildings and in residential buildings with not more than two dwelling units; and WHEREAS, this change in Alaska Statue 29.35 will restrict the community's ability to determine its own fire protection levels; and WHEREAS, this change will restrict development in certain areas of our community; and WHEREAS, the cost to improve the municipal water service and increase the Fire Department response capabilities are beyond the City of Seward's financial assets. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA that: Section 1. The passage of Senate Bill 129 is not in the best interest of the community of Seward and will create an unequal level of fire protection within the community. Section 2. The passage of Senate Bill 129 does not allow for the community of Seward to consider all the solutions available to it for providing fire protection in the community. Section 3. The passage of Senate Bill 129 could have development and economic consequences for the City of Seward and its residents. Section 4. This resolution shall take affect immediately upon its adoption. PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Council of the city of Seward, Alaska, this 23`d day of March, 2009. THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA Clark Corbridge, Mayor Lia Council Agenda Statement 16 Meeting Date: March 23, 2009 To: City Council Through: Phillip Oates, City Managers' From: David Squires, Fire Chief Agenda Item: A resolution of the City Council of the City of Seward opposing the passage of Senate Bill 129 "An Act relating to state and municipal building code requirements for sprinkler systems in certain residential buildings." BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: Senator Menard of Mat -Su is sponsoring Senate Bill 129 which will amend Alaska Statue 29.35 by adding a new section that reads: "Sec. 29.35.144 Sprinkler systems in certain residential buildings. (a) A municipality may not, for any purpose, require a sprinkler fire protection system in a single-family residential building or in a residential building with not more than two dwelling units. (b) This section applies to home rule and general law municipalities". This will take away our ability to determine our own level of fire protection and a tool from our community that we have used to allow construction in undeveloped sections. In Seward, just like other Alaskan communities, we have adopted the International Fire Code (ITC). In the IFC there is a section in it to determine the needed fire flow for a structure. This section is what insurance companies look at when issuing policies and it helps us develop our conununity in a safe and positive manner. Our water system does not serve all parts of our City. In these areas we have used the IFC exception to reduce the required fire flow to fifty percent when the building is provided with an approved sprinkler system. The sprinkler system allows our fire department to control a fire with the amount of water carried on the fire vehicles. If we did not have this option to pursue, we would not be able to give the same level of fire protection to the areas without water service. To effectively meet the required fire flow for an average residential structure, we would need to add two 2000 gallon water tenders (tankers) to our fleet, a new fire station to house the vehicles and more importantly the manpower to operate the vehicles. The cost of extending water lines to the affected areas is beyond the ability of a single homeowner and so far beyond the City's ability also. The cost of a residential sprinkler is far less than extending water lines or increasing the fire department's fleet.. structure, and manpower. INTENT: The intent of this resolution is to have the City Council show its opposition to passage of Senate Bill 129 by passing this resolution and forwarding it to all members of the Alaska State Legislature before the end of the Senate hearings for the bill. ' `S� CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures. Other: International Fire Code Appendix B Fire Flow Requirements for Buildings FISCAL NOTE: There is no fiscal impact to the City in passage of the resolution.

Agenda Statement Meeting Date: March 23, 2009 To: City Council Thru: Phillip Oates, City Manage From: David Squires, Fire Chief Agenda Item: Accepting the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Award for the Personal Protective Equipment Improvement Project BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: In 2006, the Fire Department received grant funding for the purchase and installation of a vehicle exhaust capture and removal system. While this award significantly improved health and safety of daily station operations we became aware of a new problem. Our personal protective equipment (PPE) had been routinely and repeatedly exposed to vehicle exhaust as well as the products of combustion from fire which significantly decreased its protective qualities. In 2007, the lone laundry facility in Seward with the capability to clean our PPE closed leaving us no alternative but hand washing or sending our PPE out of town for cleaning. Hand washing does not meet the standard of care nor can it effectively or efficiently remove the contaminants. Having identified this shortfall in our operations we proceeded to apply for grant funding to replace existing non -compliant PPE along with providing us the ability to clean and dry our PPE in house. The Fire Department applied for and received a grant from the 2008 Assistance to Firefighters Grant program in the amount of $48,607 with a required 5% matching fund amount of $2,430.35. We named this plan our Personal Protective Improvement Project. In order to bring this project to fruition some minor station modifications will be required. INTENT: Accepting the 2008 Assistance to Firefighters Grant funds to initiate the identified project of purchasing new personal protective equipment, extractor, dryer and necessary station modifications for installation. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Where applicable this resolution is consistent with: • Compliance with NFPA, NIOSH and OSHA guidelines and standards. • Comprehensive Plan • Strategic Plan Pagel of 2 FISCAL NOTE: Funding for this project will come from the grant award in the amount of $48,607, plus the City's matching funds of $2,430.35 which is currently budgeted within the 2009 fire department equipment budget, for a total cost of$51,037.35. Approved by Finance Department: ,ate �IA RECOMMENDATION: City Council approve Resolution 2009-;luthorizing the City Manager to accept the 2008 Assistance to Firefighters Grant funds in the amount of$48,607.00 and authorizing the required matching funds for the purchase of new personal protective equipment, extractor, dryer and station modifications. Page 2 of 2 �1 AFG "FIRE GRANTS" OVERVIEW The primary goal of the Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) is to meet the firefighting and emergency response needs of fire departments and nonaffiliated emergency medical services organizations. Since 2001, AFG has helped firefighters and other first responders to obtain critically needed equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, training, and other resources needed to protect the public and emergency personnel from fire and related hazards. The Grant Programs Directorate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency administers the grants in cooperation with the U.S. Fire Administration. For fiscal year 2005, Congress reauthorized the Assistance to Firefighters Grants for an additional 5 years through 2010.

Ross Ashley, III, Assistant Administrator Grant Programs Directorate https:,":.'portal.fema.gov/firegrant/jsp/fire_admin/awards/spec/view,award, package.do?agreementNo=EM... 3/6/2009 < :k Project Description For the 2008 Assistance to Firefighters Grant we are requesting $80,014 to purchase 25 sets of structural firefighting personal protective equipment (PPE), a front -loading washer/extractor and a gear dryer. This PPE will be designated for our front line volunteer firefighters who are committed to respond to fires, rescues and medical emergencies. Unfortunately, outfitting all of our firefighters with NFPA compliant protective equipment is an expensive endeavor. We have no alternative local funding to purchase more than two sets of bunker gear each year and no immediate alternative for cleaning this equipment. We have limited our firefighters' exposure to hazardous atmospheres within our station with our 2006 AFG funded Vehicle Exhaust Capture and Removal System, but we are jeopardizing those same firefighters with equipment that should be considered safe: their bunker gear. Our department has evaluated and recognized the need for this equipment in order to conform to NFPA, NIOSH and OSHA standards for protective clothing, but have only been able to purchase one or two sets of gear each year given our current budget constraints. We have fallen behind using this purchasing method. Last fall SFD firefighters completed Alaska State Certified Firefighter I and Firefighter II training. As part of the course, firefighters were required to Inspect their personal protective equipment. We found turnouts In use that were out of date (1989), worn out, torn and missing attachments. Further inspection showed various degrees of contamination, which poses a health risk to our firefighters, support staff and their families. Purchase of new turnouts with AFG funding will bring all of our volunteer firefighters' equipment into compliance with NFPA 1971 (Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting) and ensure that SFD will be able to continue to meet our community's firefighting and emergency response needs. In order to properly clean and maintain the requested bunker gear, we are also requesting funds to purchase a front -load washerlextractor and a gear dryer, as our current PPE cleaning methods are not adequate. The City of Seward is home to two small laundry facilities, but neither can afford to dedicate a washing machine to our needs. Use of these public machines would be negligent; putting the general population at risk in what would be tantamount to allowing contaminated turnouts to be washed with grandma's bed spread. When turnouts are hand washed, they must be put out of service until they have air dried, leaving some firefighters with no means of personal protection for a day or more. This is a liability to our department and our community that could be greatly reduced with proper cleaning center. Purchase of our proposed washer/extractor and dryer will bring us into full compliance with NFPA 1851 (Standard on Selection, Care, and Maintenance of Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting) and ensure that the new equipment will protect our firefighters and community for years to come. To further ensure our firefighters' new gear will maintain OSHA and NFPA compliance, we will train them in proper use and care of their PPE in accordance with State of Alaska Firefighter standards (NFPA 1001 equivalent). Each member of our department will receive complete training on the proper care of their bunker gear, as well as proper use of the cleaning systems. At this time 90% of our membership has completed the NIMS training required by Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-5); we will be 100% compliant with this directive by the time a funding decision is made. Minor plumbing and electrical upgrades will be needed to properly install our proposed PPE cleaning system. Any modifications made to our facility will be in full compliance will all NEPA and NFIP regulations. National Historic Preservation regulations will not apply, as our building is 45 years old. Any AFG funds awarded to SFD under the "Firefighter Personal Protective Equipment' program will be utilized to purchase all new PPE, extractor and dryer, thereby fulfilling the current NFPA 1971 and 1851 requirements. The Seward Fire Department is seeking grant funds in the amount of $80,014, with 5% matching funds of $4,211. The estimated total cost to purchase and install a new turnout gear and cleaning system is $84,225. 5'A March 09, 2009 Volume 38, Page CALL TO ORDER The March 9, 2009 regular meeting of the Seward City Council was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Mayor Clark Corbridge.

March 09, 2009 Volume 38, Travel Report. Vice Mayor Willard Dunham provided a written travel report for the council on his and the city manager's two week trip to Anchorage, Washington DC, Seattle, and Juneau. He highlighted he went to the REGA meeting in Anchorage to participate in workable solutions to the governor's continuing request for the six utilities to become one state entity. This subject would affect Seward utilities and take considerable time and effort to protect the utility. He reminded this utility belonged to the local taxpayers. Both City Manager Oates and Vice -Mayor Dunham met with John Katz in Washington DC, along with the Corps of Engineers, Congressman Don Young, the National Science Foundation, Senator Lisa Murkowski, the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, and Senator MarAegich. Dunham was happy to report the letter of interest went out to build the Alasklegion Research Vessel (ARRV), so work needed to be done to secure adequate mooring to kssel in Seward. They met with Royal Caribbean, Holland America, and Princess Tours along wit A oss and Crowley Maritime and discussed their trends in the industry and concerns, Once in Juneau, they met with many legislators on topics like AVTEC, HB 134, the library/p %ileum project, city priorities'and DOT T : �h issues.

Motion (Bardarsoi/Keil) Approve Resolution 2009-013 Oates stated the next step was sending this to the Kenai Peninsula Borough for plat approval, which needed the consent of city council. This resolution dealt solely with the platting action of the south harbor uplands. He pointed out the zoning would come after this action. The property was already served by utilities. This was a single parcel of 9.63 acres in size and provided right-of-way access to 4"' Avenue. Oates recommended approval. 6 March 09 2009 Volume 38, Page In response to questions, Community Development Director Christy Terry stated it would be platted as Park and Harbor Commercial for now, until PACAB and P&Z made a determination and rezoned it.

In our current challenging economic climate, conflicts can lead to needless problems for municipalities. Reaching common ground does not just pertain to agreements on policy, but also understanding the tools whereby its achievement is possible. Ulti- mately, a unified vision and a cohesive economic plan are required for cities to survive both the current environment and the future challenges it will bring. LOCALIZING NATIONAL ISSUES It is difficult to predict the precise impact each city will uncover as a result of widespread job loss and a reversal of economic growth. In particular, the foreclosure crisis has hit many commu- nities very hard. Yet, as the countryfocuses on the national econ- omy, cities are faced with day-to-day problems thattruly hit home. It is fundamentally importantfor city leaders to convey a sense of harmony and a plan of action to meet those challenges on a local level within their community. No matter howthe struggling economy has hityour community - unemployment, budget cuts, housing problems or a crumbling infrastructure — coming to basic agreements on the needs and interests of your community should enlist the resources of active residents local employers as well as local government, making the process collaborative, deliberative and efficient. COLLABORATION IN PLACE OF CONFLICT How can local city officials facilitate collaboration between sever- al community players and agree on outcomes in a weak economy? Learn the process of prioritizing to meet realistic goals in a difficult environment for economic growth. Learn how to gain momentum and understand how an effective relationship between council members and staff is as vital to successful governance as is the relationship between council members and constituents. How do public officials gain the support of staff and constituents as they address serious wide -scale issues in their communities? Discover the values, strategies and techniques that can be uti- lized to create an effective governing body that is capable of resolving — not engaging in or encouraging — conflict. EFFECTIVE POLICY AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT The problems that communities face are viewed differently in the eyes of public officials compared to constituents. As the recession continues to take its toll, many communities are using the crisis as an opportunity to approach tough, complex and controversial budget decisions by seeking input from the community about their needs, their evaluation of services and their priorities. Engaging the community in the budgeting process is one way to help make informed decisions, to strengthen trust with constituents and to ease some of the political risks that come with budget cuts. How can city leaders portraythe issues in a mannerthat success- fully communicates the challenges while avoiding heightened emotions, and still engage constituents in the decision making process? When community leaders harness the constructive actions of constituents, they create leadership that is more effec- tive and transparent. Learn how to foster an environment that is favorable to constituents and encourages economic development while resolving conflict. Discover a process that requires resi- dents not only to provide input, but also help implement and sup- port changes, creating a situation where residents engage with local government to protect and advance the needs of the com- munity as a whole. SUCCESSFUL LEADERSHIP FOR THRIVING COMMUNITIES Strong leadership is a fundamental factor found in every thriving community. Leaders who can mitigate the concerns of communi- ty residents and alleviate conflict —both within the governing body and within the community— are always more successful in developing solutions to the problems facing municipalities today. Engage in a program thatwill build your knowledge and abilities as you gain practical skills and techniques to engage both staff and the residents you serve. Learn from recognized scholars and experts as they lead you through a comprehensive program to handle conflict not only in the current economic climate, but also to ensure that a unified vision is constructed through an effective policymaking process. Take advantage of the opportunity to connect with colleagues and public officials across the country on the issues that matter to you and your community. Challenge yourself to become the best leader possible in the most difficult economic time for our cities and their leaders in our lifetime.

The pertinent document is the TAXABLE file. This shows that Seward's taxable sales in 2008 were higher than in 2007 by $2,750,569 (an overall increase of 2.6%) — please note that the Borough's attached form is not calculating the "total % change from previous year" column correctly, but we've let them know. This equates to an increase in sales tax revenues over 2007 of approximately $110,000. Due to timing issues associated with reporting of sales versus payments of sales tax, it is unclear how close we will come to our budget projections (we will know in a week or so), but this looks promising given that some businesses reported declines in sales. -Kris 1®X 7 !G /'lnnn Report ID : TMRP031R Tax Mantra, Kenai Peninsula Borough Date : 03-02-2009 Requested By : BHARBAUGH SUMMARY BY
