ChristyTerry, Accredited Marine Port Executive Seward Port Manager 4 Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and its Cruise Line Members Announce Mandatory Core Elements of Health Protocols as a Path to Phased Resumption of Ocean -Going Cruise Operations in the Americas Core elements include a travel -industry first with 100% testing for passengers and crew Washington, DC (September 21, 2020)—Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), which represents 95% of global ocean-going cruise capacity, announced today the adoption of mandatory core elements of a strong set of health protocols to be implemented as part of a phased -in, highly controlled resumption of operations. A critical next step, now that initial sailing has begun effectively with strict protocols in Europe, is the resumption of operations in the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America (the Americas), which encompass the largest cruise market in the world. Informed by leading scientists, medical experts, and health authorities, the core elements are the product of extensive work by CILIA oceangoing cruise lines and their renowned teams of science and medical experts, including the recommendations from the Healthy Sail panel established by Royal Caribbean Group and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. released today, as well as MSC's Blue Ribbon group and Carnival Corporation's collection of outside independent experts. Other considerations included the effective protocols developed for the successful sailings in Europe by MSC Cruises, Costa, TUI Cruises, Ponant, Seadream, and others. The CILIA Global Board unanimously voted to adopt all of the listed core elements for an initial restart of limited operations in the Americas and, most important, operations related to U.S. ports. These core elements will be continuously evaluated and adjusted against the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the availability of new prevention, therapeutics, and mitigation measures. Coinciding with the release of the core elements agreed to by CILIA ocean-going cruise line members, the Association issued the following statement: Guided by world -class experts in medicine and science, CILIA and its ocean-going cruise line members have outlined a pathway to support a phased -in, highly -controlled return to passenger service in the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America with protocols that promote the health and safety of passengers, crew and the communities visited. The core elements mirror the successful resumption of cruising in other parts of the world and include 100% testing of passengers and crew prior to boarding — a travel industry first. Initial cruises would sail on modified itineraries under stringent protocols that encompass the entirety of the cruise experience, from booking to debarkation. With support and approval of regulators and destinations, cruises could feasibly begin during the remainder of 2020. The core elements, which are applicable to CILIA member ocean-going cruise ships subject to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) No Sail Order, will also be submitted by the Cruis( " Association (CLIA) on behalf of its members in response to the CDC's Request for Inform to the safe resumption of cruise operations. CLIA's response to the RFI also details othe address the entire cruise experience from booking to disembarkation. cruisir5g.org Highlights include: • Testing. 100% testing of passengers and crew for COVID-19 prior to embarkation • Mask -Wearing. Mandatory wearing of masks by all passengers and crew onboard and during excursions whenever physical distancing cannot be maintained • Distancing. Physical distancing in terminals, onboard ships, on private islands and during shore excursions • Ventilation. Air management and ventilation strategies to increase fresh air onboard and, where feasible, using enhanced filters and other technologies to mitigate risk • Medical Capability: Risk based response plans tailored for each ship to manage medical needs, dedicated cabin capacity allocated for isolation and other operational measures, and advance arrangements with private providers for shoreside quarantine, medical facilities, and transportation. • Shore Excursions: Only permit shore excursions according to the cruise operators' prescribed protocols, with strict adherence required of all passengers and denial of re -boarding for any passengers that do not comply. Implementation of these elements on board every oceangoing ship subject to the CDC's No Sail Order is mandatory and requires written verification of adoption by each company's CEO. These elements do not preclude additional measures that may be adopted by individual lines. Measures will be continuously evaluated and adjusted against the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the availability of new prevention and mitigation measures. Leaders representing governments, destinations, science and medicine responded favorably to the core elements announced by CLIA today, including the following: Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Mottley, who co-chairs the Americas Cruise Tourism Task Force, said: "Cruise tourism is incredibly important to our regional economies and we are eager for its safe return to help revitalize our economies and share the beauty of our destinations. As part of the Americas Cruise Tourism Task Force, government leaders in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America, have been working productively with the Florida Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA), CLIA, and the cruise lines to implement guidance for cruise resumption and good progress is being made. The cruise lines' commitment to conduct 100%testing for all passengers and crew is significant and unique as compared to any other sector. Having this core element in place as part of an initial phase of operations adds a layer of confidence for us as we continue to work together developing guidelines and protocols so we may safely welcome cruising back to our regions." Governor Mike Leavitt, Co -Chair, Healthy Sail Panel and Former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), said: "The industry's commitment to create best practices for mitigating the risk of SARS-CoV-2, is a necessary step. By embracing best practices to protect public health, cruise lines can provide a clear pathway for resuming operations in a way that safeguards the health of our guests, crew and communities. There have been many lessons learned and advances made by medicine and science over the past six months, and we need to continue to advance our approach going forward." Miami -Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez said: With the development of these rigorous safety protocols, the cruise industry is once again demonstrating its leadership and commitment to public health in travel and tourism. Simply put, the cruise industry has taken such a thorough and comprehensive approach to caring for public health. Based on the effectiveness of the protocols implemented by CLIA members in Europe and other parts of the world, I am confident that a slow and gradual resumption of cruise operations in the Americas can be done responsibly in the comir� months. A cruisirug. org Christos Hadjichristodoulou, Professor of Hygiene and Epidemiology, University of Thessaly said: "What we have seen is that when procedures are in place and they are rigorously followed, the risk is minimized. The core elements of the approach developed by the cruise industry which adopt scientific evidence -based EU guidelines for COVID-19, go further than I have seen in almost any other industry —and serve to demonstrate this industry's commitment to upholding the highest standards of health and safety onboard ships and within the communities they visit. I am satisfied with the engagement of the cruise industry to follow the EU guidelines and impressed with the level of detail that has gone into the planning process. I look forward to continued progress as cruises resume on a limited basis with a phased -in approach." Gloria Guevara, president and CEO of the World Travel & Tourism Council, said: "As the Travel & Tourism sector continues in its fight for survival, the cruise industry is proving the importance of testing as effective tool to resume travel. The core elements of the approach, developed by the cruise industry are in line with WTTC's Safe Travels protocols, which were designed to enable travellers to identify destinations around the world that have adopted our health and hygiene global standardised protocols. An industry wide testing programme is the key to recovery and the cruise industry is leading by example, testing all passengers and crew prior to boarding. Implementing this comprehensive programme, and adopting these enhanced measures, serves to demonstrate the commitment of this industry to uphold the highest standards of health and safety. We are impressed with the level of detail that has gone into the planning process and look forward to seeing the continued progress as cruises resume on a limited basis and phased -in approach." CLIA president and CEO Kelly Craighead offered the following comment: "We recognize the devastating impact that this pandemic, and the subsequent suspension of cruise operations, has had on economies throughout the world, including the nearly half a million members of the wider cruise community and small businesses in the Americas who depend on this vibrant industry for their livelihoods. Based on what we are seeing in Europe, and following months of collaboration with leading public health experts, scientists, and governments, we are confident that these measures will provide a pathway for the return of limited sailings from the U.S. before the end of this year." According to CLIA's most recent Economic Impact Study, cruise activity in the United States supported over 420,000 American jobs and generates $53 billion annually in economic activity throughout the country prior to the pandemic. Each day of the suspension of U.S. cruise operations results in a loss of up to $110 million in economic activity and 800 direct and indirect American jobs. The impact of the suspension has been particularly profound in states that depend heavily on cruise tourism, including Florida, Texas, Alaska, Washington, New York and California.

We have heard a lot of positive feedback (gratitude) from businesses. We are super thankful for the funds we received to help us continue to work to create a positive business and living environment here in Seward! Website: We have contracted with a vendor for doing our new website (coming this spring). https://www.simpleviewinc.com/ The current website will remain up until that point. It will really be much more than a website. The new site will have faces for visitors/tourism, our marine economy, conference destination, and a hometown piece for residents and those businesses that serve residents. It will also have a community calendar. It will enable our members to edit their site content at any time and receive referral information directly. It will also help us be able to collect data from site visitors to be able to market more effectively. Visitor Services: The visitor Center is open during the week from 10am — 4pm Monday — Friday and are now closed on the weekends. Seward Marine Front: We had our first meeting for this year (post summer). We checked in to see how things were going with different committee member specific industries. We are discussing having a unified Seward booth next year (2021) at the Pacific Marine Expo. At that time, we will also have new materials and a website to use. Another possible opportunity that was discussed was going to a different trade show called Work Boat in Louisiana. There was also discussion about creating an Alaska Marine Trade Show / Expo here in Seward, once the new Cruise Ship Terminal is built. Something like that would be huge for our community and help put us more so on the map for the Marine Industry. EVOS Think Tank: The EVOS (Exxon Valdez Oil Spill) Think Tank did a presentation to the Chamber Board at our meeting on the 24th. They are presenting a concept that would make the EVOS funds ($188 million) more accessible, less given to administrative costs, and have more local control. The concept would create an endowment of $20million to Alaska Sea Life Center, among other large endowments. It would also create a pool of funds for grants that we could access for Fisheries Vitality, infrastructure, and education and engagement. The chamber and its board are writing a letter of support for this concept. The EVOS Trustee Council is having their annual meeting on October 14t".

ADJOURNMENT This meeting was adjourned at 1:11 p.m. Jessica Stallard, CMC Deputy City Clerk (City Seal) Laura Schneider Chair 18 Heat Pump Economics for Seward Fact Sheet My Assumption: 2000 mini splits installed in Seward homes and businesses. They displace on average 500 gallons of oil each (some more - some less) X 2000 = 1 million gallons oil displaced each year. How do we get there? Utility incentives like On -Bill Repayment (Alaska HB 374), utility rebates, incentive rates, customer education. Plenty going on in the lower 48 utilities to evaluate. Savings to Heat Pump users: $1 for every gallon of oil displaced with the heat pump X 500 gal X 2000 heat pumps = $1 Million dollars a year total heat pump fuel savings at today's oil and electric rates. Utility Benefit: To operate those heat pumps, the City utility will sell an additional 11 kWh for every gallon of oil replaced with a heat pump X 1 million gal displaced/yr = 11 Million kWh/yr sales with additional profit somewhere around $800,000/year. That added utility profit can lower electric rates, pay for maintenance and system upgrades benefiting all electrical customers. Economic SUM: Between the heat pump users ($ 1 million) and the city utility profit ($800,000) the community will save 1.8 million dollars a year. Environmental Benefit: CO2 emission savings: 1 gal/oil displaced with gas electric generation = 10 Ibs CO2 net reduction X 1 million gal/yr = 10 Million Ibs of CO2 avoided or 4500 metric tons per year Plus $40/tonn potential carbon credit (Recent ADN article) _ $180,000 annually. Less diesel exhaust, less fumes and diesel odors indoors, reduced fuel spill risk, etc.. And, as we add more renewables to our generation mix, the more environmentally sound heat pumps become. Cost: 2000 mini -splits at $4000 ea = $8 Million dollars invested. Bottom Line: $8 million cost / $1.8 million dollars annual savings = 4.4 year simple payback for the community.

Though the technology hasn't changed, new research and performance data continues to support the market moving from heating oil to heat pumps in Seward. In particular, mini -split heat pumps. Referred to as Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) they are the most cost effective heat pump options currently available. Not to discredit ground -source heat pumps or the SeaLife Center seawater system, in fact I'm excited about the City's upcoming project, but few have the heating demand or resources to consider such large scale projects. Mini -splits offer something for the rest of us. Outdoor Unit Indoor Unit Think of a mini -split as a super efficient electric space heater. In fact, 250% - 300% more efficient than the typical electric space heater. The most efficient mini -splits available have heat outputs that may not meet the total heating demand of larger buildings during extreme low temperatures. Additional units can be installed but the economics become less attractive. The most cost effective strategy is usually to let a single high efficiency mini -split do as much as it can to displace heating oil and allow the existing heating system to cover the excess heating loads during those few very cold days a year. I know the Idea of pulling heat out of cold outdoor air to heat your home in the dead of winter is counter intuitive to say the least. To those without a degree in thermodynamics it's simply that magic of the refrigeration cycle that keeps my ice cream hard in the freezer and the air behind the refrigerator warm. The heat pump technology today is much better than 20 years ago, especially for use in colder climates. We have lots of performance data on the Seal-ife Center heat pump project in Seward, but local performance data on mini -splits are limited to some anecdotal info from current users and the monitoring I have done with my apartment - turned Seward Heat Pump Research Lab in winter. 24 I have monitored three different heat pumps for efficiency throughout a heating season. One older air to water system and two newer high end mini -splits. I'm not ready to say which unit is the best or worst, I will say this: The Gov't rating system called the Heating System Performance Factor (HSPF) lacks credibility in my opinion for measuring the seasonal efficiency of heat pumps in cold climates. The 30 some year old test standard is obsolete. The problem is testing the efficiency of a mini -split in the field is no easy task. The efficiencies change with outdoor temperatures and the load, such that different climate locations and building sizes will vary the seasonal efficiency of the same unit. Throw in a few hundred brands and countless models and you get the idea. So far I've looked at two different large mini -split manufacturers using the same space and monitoring equipment. That is certainly unique for most heat pump studies, but its only one data point. I'm not done though, there's always next winter. Alaska and national research done to date support that heat pumps work. They work in our milder coastal climate and in the extreme cold of our arctic. In cases where electric rates are modest in relation to heating oil costs, like Seward, a heat pump is about 113 less expensive to heat with than oil heat. Let's do some quick math: • It takes 11 kWh of electricity for an efficient mini -split to equal the heat output of 1 gallon of heating oil. At 17 cents per kWh = $1.87 per gallon heat equivalent. That's about a buck per gallon savings for the same amount of heat using a heat pump. • A typical Seward home can save 500 gallons a year or $500 a year savings with the mini -split. NOTE: for those heating with electric space heat or propane, the savings are way better. • Our city owned electric utility will sell an additional 11 kWh for each gallon of oil saved. • Assuming 8 cents per kWh profit = $4401yr additional profit to our utility to help pay to maintain our grid and keep the lights on for everyone. • Each gallon of heating oil displaced with a heat pump in Seward = 10 Ibs of CO2 saved from being released into our environment. (More renewables = more CO2 saved) Here's what 2000 mini -splits Installed in Seward will do annually: • 1 million gallons of oil displaced • 1 million dollars saved by owners • 880,000 dollars profit to our utility (almost a million) • 10 million pounds of CO2 not produced (carbon credits? ) Multiply that by the 14 year typical lifespen of a mini -split the numbers become really huge. A new Alaska heat pump calculator is available at heatoump. Its pretty simple. Takes into account updated energy costs and historical weather data for each community in Alaska. Add a few inputs regarding the size of your building and use and the online software calculates a detailed economic analysis for your application. The calculator relies mainly on the field W research efficiency results for estimating savings and not the bloated manufacturer claims. Give it a try, its free. We now have a locally grown and certified refrigeration tech here is Seward to help install and maintain your heat pump. Double D Services (907-422-7657) My question is how many millions of gallons of oil are we going to bum, the CO2 generated, and dollars lost before we make the switch to a cheaper cleaner heating alternative? Utilities across the country offer rebates and low interest loans to promote heat pumps as they benefit all their customers. Purchasing a heat pump is no free lunch. Our Seward City Council should consider its options. Phil Kaluza, mostly -retired building science specialist Contact Info: pkaluza@gmail.com (907-360-6337) W. Seward Port and Commerce Advisory Board 2020 1st 2na and 3' Quarter Report During the first three quarters of 2020, PACAB held 6 meetings and 4 work sessions. Our spring schedule was interrupted by COVID-19, but with the hard work of staff we were able to hold meetings in May and June. We took our scheduled hiatus for July and August and reconvened in September. PACAB has been working from our list of approved priorities and short-term goals: - Create an ad hoc committee for SMIC Development and an ad hoc committee for Energy The board created these committees at our January meeting. The Energy Committee, consisting of board members Hughes, Paquette and Smith, should be commended for their diligence in meeting and working on projects throughout the pandemic and the busy summer season. Their efforts are greatly appreciated. The SMIC Development Committee will meet in October in advance of our annual review of the SMIC Development Plan. - Support the work of the Airport Committee The board is disappointed with the current outcome of the airport project which eliminates the long runway. We are dedicated to working towards solutions that will help Seward's airport to grow in support of our community's needs. - Provide input on the Capital Improvement Plan PACAB Resolution 2020-002 recommended Council approval of a facility grant application for the replacement of G, K, and L floats. The board also supports the harbor's pursuit of funding for the replacement of the North Launch Ramps and the installation of a washdown pad for the 50 Ton lift. Thank you to harbor staff for their diligence in pursuing funding for these projects. - Discuss and review the City Council work session with the electric department The board has devoted a lot of time and effort into ensuring that a safe, fair, and user-friendly alternative energy interconnect policy is implemented in the City of Seward. The board greatly appreciates the expertise and positive attitude of the new interim Electric Utility Manager, Cory Borgeson. We have had very productive discussions and have developed a schedule for full implementation of the policy. We also look forward to taking an active role in discussions about the upcoming rate study. - Review the vessel property tax and provide recommendation to Council Vessel property taxes are tied to the mil rate. Two peninsula communities have chosen to instead implement a flat tax. Converting to this method for Seward would represent an approximately $160,000 annual loss to the general fund. With the harbor being consistently full, the board does not see the potential to attract new customers as a compelling reason to change the tax rate. Additionally, with the current losses in sales tax revenue, the board does not think it is prudent to recommend a further reduction in revenue. The board does not recommend any changes at this time. - Work towards developing a Climate Action Plan This year's challenges have caused our CAP efforts to come to a halt. The board's hope is that the statewide climate action planning cohort that the Council supported will come to fruition to help with the funding and execution of this endeavor. There will be a resolution brought before the assembly at the Alaska Municipal League conference from the group planning this cohort that PACAB urges the Council to take under advisement. 27 - Determine action needed to address halibut by -catch and provide recommendation to Council The board had productive discussions about the merits of establishing halibut by -catch limits tied to abundance and increasing observer requirements on offshore vessels. The board agreed that there is more that could be done to prevent halibut bycatch and preserve the resource for the benefit of communities like Seward that rely on commercial and charter halibut fisheries. At our May meeting, North Pacific Fisheries Management Council member Andy Mezirow spoke to the board and explained some of the political challenges of attempting to provide pushback to the trawl fleet. He emphasized the downward trend of halibut bycatch while also acknowledging that the decrease over the last several years has been tied to the declining abundance of the resource. Mr. Mezirow said he would keep the board informed when there were opportunities for the City to weigh in on important council decisions such as the decade - long push for Gulf of Alaska Groundfish Rationalization. We look forward to following up with Mr. Mezirow after the October meeting of the NPFMC and forwarding any recommendations for action to Council. - Evaluate the Blue Pipeline Initiative and give recommendation to Council on the city's continued investment This program is currently on hold while they continue to search for someone to run the program in Seward. There was a strong candidate offered the position in the spring who was not able to take the job due to the pandemic. Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jason Bickling has informed the board that the funds the city contributed to the project while it has not been operational have been set aside for future years and not used for administrative costs. Until such time as the program is active again, it would be difficult to fairly evaluate it. The board agreed to table this item until there is more information available. We will take this issue up again before the next budget cycle when they will likely request a new commitment of funds. Upcoming agenda items: - Evaluate options for a heat pump rebate program and present a proposal to Council - Send a board member to the Alaska Municipal League Conference - Review the SMIC Development Plan - Sponsor an Energy workshop for the community - Prioritize City, State, and Federal Priorities for port and commerce initiatives - Evaluate city utility infrastructure for future growth - Hold another joint work session with the Planning & Zoning Commission about a SMIC overlay - Participate in Joint Work Session with Historic Preservation committee on Downtown Historic Overlay District 28 Interconnect Policy Implementation Date Task Notes Complete Install the first two-way meter Determine who (position or specific person) within the Electric Department will be the interconnect lead Review current net metering rate Develop a simplified application Refine the internal checklist Establish a goal for application processing time Host a community training to explain the simplified process Develop a training program/document for installers Work with other utilities to adapt their pre -made engineered interconnect plans Host a vendor fair to encourage community adoption Evaluate city code for further changes and propose ordinance to Council Develop technical guidelines for number of interconnects and percent of transformer capacity Report quarterly on the number of current applications, number of successful installs, lessons learned, and implementation steps completed `�:, October 2020 oTu October2020 November2020 SuMo TuWe Th Fr Sa SuMo TuWe Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 910 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15161718192021 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY Sep 27 28 29 30 Oct 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 °°r6:00pm P&Z 12:00pm PACAB 6:00pm HPC Joint Work Mtg Regular Session - Meeting SBCFSAB Council 6:00pm HPC Seward 7:00pm P&Z Mtg Work (Seward Session-Cance Librar lied Council 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 7:00pm CC Mtg 12:00pm PACAB (Council Work Session Chambers) (Chambers 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Cif Holiday Alaska Day 6:00pm P&Z Work Session (Council Chain bers 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 7:00pm CC Mtg Chambers Council Calendar 1 9/29/2020 10:06 AM 30 November 2020 November2020 December2020 SuMo TuWe Th Fr Sa SuMo TuWe Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15161718192021 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY Nov 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 IIIF6:00pm P&Z 12:0Opm PACAB Joint Work Mt Session - HPC (Seward Librar 7:OOpm P&Z Mtg (Seward Librar 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 7:OOpm CC Mtg Veterans' Day 6:OOpm HPC (Council Regular Cham bers Meeting Council 6:OOpm HPC Work Session-Cance Iled Council 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 6:OOpm P&Z 12:OOpm PACAB Work Session Work Session (Council Chambers IL Cham bers 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 7:OOpm CC Mtg Cham bers Holida ___ ThanksgivingCit 29 30 Dec 1 2 3 4 5 Council Calendar 2 9/29/2020 10:06 AM 31 021 December 2020 December2020 JanuaryTh SuMo TuWe Th Fr Sa SuMo TuWe We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY Nov 29 30 Dec 1 2 3 4 5 7:00pm P&Z Mtg 12:00pm PACAB (Council Mtg Cham bers 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 6:00pm HPC Regular Meeting Council 6:00pm HPC Work Session-Cance Iled Council 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 7:00pm CC Mtg 6:00pm P&Z 12:00pm PACAB (Council Work Session Work Session Chambers) (Council Chambers Cham bers 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 12:00pm City Christmas Holiday Holiday 27 28 29 30 31 Jan 1, 21 2 7:00pm CC Mtg Cham bers Council Calendar 3 9/29/2020 10:06 AM 32
