Section 1. The City Council finds that it is in the public interest to negotiate and develop the
terms of a lease of the real property described above to promote economic development in the City
through expansion of industry and other commercial activities in the Seward Marine Industrial Center.

final approval by the City Council at a later date. These negotiations may also include possible
amendments to the Maintenance and Operating Agreement and the Current Lease, as may be
necessary because of any impacts of a lease on those agreements. This resolution shall not be
considered a contract nor final approval of a lease or real estate transaction. This Resolution is not
an agreement to the proposal by Seward Ship's Dry Dock, Inc., or any of its terms, but merely an
authorization to negotiate such terms. It is intended that the City Manager will negotiate the terms
