CITY OF SEWARD,ALASKA
RESOLUTION 2018-052
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA,ACCEPTING A GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF$5,000 FROM THE
SEWARD COMMUNITY FOUNDATION,AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS
WHEREAS,the City of Seward Parks and Recreation Department applied for and received a
grant in the amount of$5,000. With the assistance of the $2,500 grant from Seward Community
Foundation, support from Adventure 60 North, Major Marine Tour and Stony Creek Canopy
Adventures,we will be able to provide an extremely successful and educational summer to over 600
participants; and
WHEREAS,this year the staff will be receiving several days of training specific to youth
development Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and dealing with Trauma and behavioral
difficulties. We have learned over the years that keeping youth active and involved during the
summer months is so important to their continued development. Students lose up to 3 months of
learning over the summer unless they are actively involved in a program that enables them to use
their skills to problem solve, create, develop and grow; and
WHEREAS,the goal is to reach and teach each of the expected 35 kids a week a new skill
that they would use in everyday life. The kids will be working out their own differences with the
guidance of the staff, not the intervention of the staff. Learning through recreation increases
endorphins, and improves physical, mental and emotional health of participants. Involvement in
summer programs has proven to be essential to preventing loss of academic knowledge and skills
during the summer months.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD,ALASKA that:
Section 1. The Seward City Council hereby accepts a grant in the amount of$5,000 from the
Seward Community Foundation into the grant revenue account no. 01000-1430-4253-0014.
Section 2. Funding in the amount of$5,000 is hereby appropriated to education expense
account 01000-1430-7303-0014.
Section 3. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its approval.
