WHEREAS, a fire station on the north end of the city would benefit the community by 1)
providing better protection to those residents north of the lagoon especially in the event the Seward
Highway would become impassable, 2) distribute fire fighting equipment and apparatus currently
housed at the fire hall to another location in the community, rather than having them housed in the
one facility, 3) provide the needed fire protection for any airport or industrial area expansion; and
WHEREAS, the City of Seward owns Lot lOA Fort Raymond Subdivision, which is in an
ideal location for a fire station, training site and general storage area for the City ; and
WHEREAS, the lot is too low in relationship to the Seward Highway for this type of use and
cost of fill has been prohibitive; and
WHEREAS, the City of Seward has the responsibility of removing dredged material from
the Resurrection River Flood Hazard Mitigation Project by October of2001; and
WHEREAS, the fill is considered free of contaminates and appropriate for use as
construction fill; and
WHEREAS, the Bike Path Task Force has selected Sealion Drive to be the location of the
bike path extension, the fill material may improve the grade for the proposed extension and will give
a "staging area" until the construction of 0-8 Seward Highway bike path; and
WHEREAS, authorizing the clearing of this property and using the fill material to bring the
lot up to the level of the Seward Highway, will not commit the council to building a fire station; and
