SPECIAL ORDERS, PRESENTATIONS AND REPORTS
Council member Valdatta said the big topic at EDD is the urea plant that is
going to close in Kenai and he pointed out the effects of that would be felt here. He
reminded everyone that EDD has a web site for Peninsula businesses. He said he would
like to see a (product) branding for our fish over here. Jordan commented that
Resurrection Bay sockeyes are at the same time as the Copper River Brand and for some
reason especially on the West Coast, the Cooper River sockeyes are more popular. He
informed the board that Port MacKenzie had a chip ship in and soon they will have coal
and other products moving out of there.

City of Seward, Alaska Port and Commerce Advisory Board Minutes
Volume 3, page 359
Whitman commented that after reading your proposals he would like to see some ideas
for enforcement and controls.
Nick Ranta said the committee are addressing the concerns of enforcement and
would like to see everyone follow procedures like having a local business license. He
said they have been successful in purchasing some extra smolt from Trail Lakes
Hatchery. Last year the charter boats and other businesses all helped pay for the smelt.
They would like to see the program continue to grow because there are a lot of changes
coming in the future especially for halibut. They are looking for long-term solutions.
Valdatta said the board should try to get a direct contact person regarding what is
going on with the Tusturnena. He said some moving companies in Anchorage and other
businesses are not aware that the ferry will not be coming to Seward. He said we should
care about Agrium Kenai Nitrogen Operations shutting down.
Ron Long Kenai Peninsula Borough representative said he concerned with
some of the language in House Bill 24 - especially the port of call wording. He said
Representative Paul Seaton would like the City to support this bill. The borough will be
looking at an Ordinance for a borough wide bed tax. The proposal is 8% right now but it
will probably be amended a few times before it is approved. Jordan asked what the
rational behind the tax was and Long responded that we are looking at a $9 million
deficit. Jordan asked ifhe supported it and he said in concept he does but he would like
to hear more. March 1 and April 5 there will be public hearings but it would be a ballot
initiative that would have to be voted on by the public. Altermatt asked for confirmation
that it would be adding 8% on top of the City's 8%. Jordan added that Seward is a small
community and 16% is too much. Long said it is a good question to ask, who will be
taxed.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND CONSENT AGENDA
MOTION (Jordan/ Van Buskirk ) approval of Agenda and consent agenda
Motion Passed,
Unanimous
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
PROJECT LIST Altermatt said we just went over it last meeting pretty
thoroughly. Altermatt asked if maybe someone from DOT could come down and talk to
us. Gifford said we could ask but his understanding is the bid should go out in March for
the 0 to 8 mile. Jordan asked if it would go toward town or out of town. Gifford said
he thought it would be the whole thing the bridges were Phase 1. Gifford said he would
see when would be a good time for DOT to come to meet the board. Van Buskirk told
he would not be here for the February 16 work session.

BOARD COMMENTS
Hettinger said he just heard that the thrift store would be closing and that was not
good news for the community. He wondered if anyone else had heard that. Nancy
Erickson from the Phoenix Log said they had been notified about it this morning.
Whitman thanked everyone for coming and informed the board that a Coast
Guard boat would be at the dry dock and there should be a lot of crew members in town
spending money at local stores.
Van Buskirk expressed disappointment that the P & Z would want the uplands to
be park land. He thought that would we totally ridiculous when it could be so widely
used.
Jordan thanked Ron Long from the borough for attending these meetings and
keeping the board informed. She said she thinks fish restoration is important and was
glad that some forward thinking was going on. She would like to see the board stay
active and help with it. She also reiterated that she liked the multi-use plan for the
uplands.
Altermatt thanked everyone for coming and a special thanks to Mark Clemens
and Nick Ranta. She said she was looking forward to continuing their discussions on the
16th.
CITIZENS COMMENTS
Ron Long thanked Jordan for the kind words. He said the assembly did spend a
little bit of their discretionary budget because they were concerned about ground fish
regionalization prospects. They got a report and with a quick turn around time and it
looks like about the only affect on the borough was on p-cod. There may be a small
Pollock component. If we were to weigh in at all, our position should be that we would
benefit a little more with the scenario that goes for the longer qualifying period as

SPECIAL ORDERS, PRESENTATIONS, AND REPORTS
Council member Valdatta commented that everyone should be working on keeping the
ferry here in Seward. He passed out a copy of the compromise proposal from the
Railroad for the uplands area in the north end of the harbor. Tougas asked if the Yacht
Club was ok with this plan and Valdatta said yes and he added that he thought the Coast
Guard would like to move over by the railroad dock.
Louis Bencardino, Alaska Railroad Corporation Representative said, they have had
several meetings over the last few months and what they came up with is the drawings
that Valdatta passed out. The railroad would like the sliver of land that was to be leased
to Altermatt/Carter. They have been in contact with the businesses that would be

report back. He said there is a lot of talk about natural gas and he would like the boards
feed back.
Ron Long, Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly Representative, said the bed
tax proposal still has a way to go and the discussions are on going including the option of
making it seasonal. The bed tax will have to go to a vote so it cannot be changed until
next year. He said the increase of the tax cap from 500 to 1000 dollars was tabled. The
Borough Mayor has asked them to look at some other proposals first but they can bring it
back from the table if they still feel it is necessary. House Bill 25, that would change the
way unprocessed fish is charged was discussed and will have another committee hearing
tomorrow morning.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND CONSENT AGENDA
MOTION (Tougas/ Lechner) approval of agenda and consent agenda with the
removal of the February 2,2005 regular meeting minutes from the consent agenda.
Motion Passed,
Unanimous
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
PROJECT LIST, Tougas noted that AVTEC had received a grant for the fire training
center over at SMIC. Dunham added that he meet with the Commissioner of Labor and
he was pleased that this facility was going forward and said he would like to see a major
marine training center. Gifford said the City is involved in the training center and he
will try and get more information for the board regarding the progress of the facility.
Dunham mentioned that Bev Dunham is looking at getting an All American City
designation for Seward. Lechner added under marketing that there is a meeting Friday at
noon regarding the branding effort.
New uplands discussion & Name recommendations,
Jordan said this was discussed at the work session and asked Ransom to give a quick
update. Ransom said that when they designed the project that area was a fill area and
they didn't do any more than that. There will be an opinion from the attorneys
addressing ownership and what can be done soon, but parking will be allowed. Jordan
said part of the discussion was the harbor area now is basically sitting on the same type of
fill and that area could have many uses down the road. Long suggested that if the
buildings were built on pilings they might be able to be approved immediately. Ransom
said he had not heard that and added that one concern would be getting access to the
breakwater rocks. Tougas suggested the board continue to look at this as a multi-use
area and take the lead in gathering public comments on what should be happing with it.
Jordan said she felt the board agreed and it should move to the top of project list. The

City of Seward, Alaska Port and Commerce Advisory Board Minutes
Volume 3, page 367
Passed
Unanimous
Resolution 2005-01 recommending the City Administration issues a letter asking for
expressions of interest for the operation of the 50-ton travel lift.
Jordan said this resolution came out of the last work session and opened it up for
discussion. Waliezer expressed concern that it was probably not very profitable and the
city provides an excellent service and if it went out to bid an individual may cut service.
He also pointed out that there is no grid or alternative to the lift. Tougas said it was his
understanding that the approved budget allocated the purchase a new 50-ton lift. Gifford
said it is included in the budget but that is why the council wanted this discussion before
any purchases were made. Ransom added that he thought the harbor did about 295 lifts
last year. Tougas wondered who would be making decisions regarding the interest.
Gifford said it was his understanding that there was no obligation in seeing if there was
interest and then the board could use whatever information was received to make a
recommendation to Council. It was discussed if it would be in the City's best interest to
privatize or not. They discussed weather it was an area to privatize or not and what
would need to be done if interest was expressed. It was mentioned that maybe privatizing
the 250-ton should be looked at as well.

Louis Bencardino, Alaska Railroad Corporation Representative reported that
they were stacking material that is being dredged out of the harbor by the Corps and
Wilder's subcontractor. They have taken out 60,000 yards, are still pumping, and will
raise the road on Port A venue. Bencardino said they hope to have a permit for more
dredging between the cruise ship and freight dock area. He said security cameras are
being installed on a pole for the parking lot and the side of the building and dock security
will be upgraded. He spoke about the activity on the dock. He reports that the town
enjoys using the ARR building. Groups like the girls rowing team, playing baseball in
the building, and Jennifer Headke and her group are painting a mural inside the building.
He said next week a big new sign would be on the building. He reported that the coal
conveyor could not be extended any further than it is now. Bencardino said that out of
the clear blue a company from Canada was interested in the coal loading facility.

form of commerce. Gifford said a Vista volunteer working on an economic development
plan and he said one had not been hired yet. He said Shealy and Spanos had been
working on the application.
Ransom had lay downs regarding the East Harbor project. TNH will break these
down for each project. Altermatt asked and was given an affirmative answer whether
the harbor was still planning to do the D-E connection in-house? Ransom has to look at
the timeline by the first of next year.
The dredgers will be back in September and it should take a month to take care
of a couple small areas that had to be delayed due to fishery factors. He spoke of a little
sloughing off problem around X & Z. In answer to Tougas, Ransom said once X float is
done then E F & J can be done.
The board asked for an update by the next meeting from the Corps and Wilder.
Ransom will have something by the next meeting.
NEW BUSINESS
It was moved by Tougas, seconded by Waliezer to approved the *March 2,2005
regular meeting minutes as written.
RESOLUTION NO. 2005-02 FOR PURCHASE OF A 50-TON TRAVELIFT
it was moved by Tougas seconded by Waliezer to move forward to purchase of a new
50-ton Travelift motioned failed following discussion. Altermatt withdrew her motion.
Tougas spoke about the 50-ton Travelift and how the harbor department feels that
Travelift has gone past its useful life and has indicated that it is a break-even operation.
Private sector did not want to get involved with this. He said at the meeting it was
decided to see if there was any interest out there. Lechner asked how long the useful life
of a Travelift is when the City of Whittier is still using the one we sold them. Altermatt
noted that, as far as Whittier goes, the lift is owned privately and is very limited in lifts
per year. Whitman said rates would have to go up. Motor pool funds $30,000 raise rates
20% how much down for maintenance. Old machine gearbox everything has been rebuilt
30-year-old machine. Safe machine now, time to get a new one. Waliezer whether we
need this machine or not and wondered if it could be postponed another year. Close
enough to the end of its life; we need to move forward it would upgrade the dock.
Mercer commented about the price of steel may be a factor because right not it is really
fluctuating. Whitman questioned what the cost would be to have it refurbished.
Ransom said the gearbox has been rebuilt, re-tuned just about everything. Altermatt
said she had not realized the request was for a new machine and a new dock. Ransom
said it would be approximately $220,000 machine and dock. Whitman said he did not
think this request had been engineered out enough to deal with it. Altermatt was
surprised about this, but would not recommend running a new machine out on that old
dock. Whitman spoke negatively about the request. Altermatt withdrew her motion.
Tougas this was budgeted in the motor pool fund to buy a replacement vehicle. Van
Buskirk asked if there was any interest from Travelift to rebuild the machine. Ransom,

City of Seward, Alaska Port and Commerce Advisory Board Minutes
Volume 3, page 370
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Assistant City Manager Vesel had nothing to report, but answered questions
from the board. In answer to Tougas, she said the infrastructure meetings noted on the
City Calendar are weekly staff meetings. She said department heads discuss ongoing
projects and she would be happy to report the outcome of those. However, they are not
open to public. Altermatt asked about a work session on July 13 scheduled for Harbor
funding alternate sources. Ransom confirmed that it would be held on the 13th at 7:00
p.m. Vesel mentioned that someone might want to attend the council meeting on the
ninth, as Mike Meads would be giving a report on the Ferry Study.
Jordan asked about the Mile 0-8 road project, Vesel said that DOT said last week
there would be a delay and would not be completing the project this year. In answer to
Tougas, Vesel said the waterline project is also put off. Tougas asked if any funding
was appropriated for the waterline.
AItermatt asked for an up-date on the Vista volunteer and found that no one had
the qualifications of grant writing that was sought after. She said that the City would be
required to attend two-week management training in the Lower 48 in order to get a
volunteer.
Harbormaster Ransom asked Sweeney to introduce new Harbor employee
Angela DeLoria. Harbormaster Ransom reported that the RFP for the piling had been
opened at $437,455. Richard's Pipe and Steel, Inc. was the apparent low bidder and the
engineers are checking the bid. Once checked, the order will be placed. In answer to a
question, Ransom said the Navy ships will be coming to Seward around derby time but
he did not think any would be in the harbor. He said they would most likely be too big to
use the harbor. He reported that Quality Asphalt has loaded 40,000 tons of gravel across
the dock. Whitman asked where the City and Corps stand on the upland area for use
during the derby. Ransom said no parking would be allowed this year until we get the
final sign-off from the Corps. Whitman wondered if Seward has a plan (schedule) of
when things will be constructed. He said they (Seward Ships Drydock) are getting calls
for use of X float.
AItermatt remarked that we are having a moorage problem in the harbor this year
and wondered about the east side of X float where the military has the whole 750' of
dock exclusively. She said they are only using a portion of that dock and wondered, why
with such a congested harbor it is [managed] like this for four 40' boats. Ransom said
we would look at that in the next year. Ransom said that anchoring off on the buoys
would not be allowed. Waliezer said you could make the anchoring work with cables
and anchors.

CITIZENS COMMENTS
Robert Valdatta Asked if the North Dock area could be cleaned up. He also
noted that near the new Railroad Bridge the sand bar is building up.
Ron Long said that the board has been ignored in the past and has not been given
the respect you deserve. He said he hopes that this will serve as a wake up call. In the
past, we have made the council's job easier.

City of Seward, Alaska Port and Commerce Advisory Board Minutes
September 21, 2005, Volume 3, page 374
· Bids were opened for Phase I of the project: regarding re-decking "T" & "I."
Preliminary study on the piling shows that re-decking is feasible.
· The Department of Economic Development $2 million grant for the T -dock bulkhead
will be accepted at the next council meeting.
· The 50-ton boatlift purchase proposal is to proceed. He said the rates would not be
raised to fund the machine. The new machine is capable of lifting wider boats and
has a higher clearance. Minor modifications to the dock were approved by Council.
Ransom said the quote from Marine TraveliftTM was $227,758 plus freight. He said
the old lift would be sold for about $15,000 to cover the freight.
· Ransom reported that the bids were opened for the north harbor renovations project
and Lash Construction was the apparent low bidder with $1,169,815.00 followed by
Ruskin Construction, Harris Gravel and West Construction.
· Ransom spoke about a Capital Project request for a $2 million feasibility study of
the SMIC basin - to control the severe surge problem that makes using the North
Dock unfavorable. He explained that the State would pay $1 million and $500,000
in-kind contribution bringing the City's share to $500,000.
City Manager Clark Corbridge reported that the City is in preliminary discussions
with the Coast Guard architect team from Juneau. He gave a brief summation of the Council
work session. They discussed the role of boards and commissions. Some suggestions were:
to reduce the number of board members; hold members to the rule concerning three
consecutive absences and they are dismissed; hold the meetings on a specific day each
month. A recommendation was made regarding hiring a clerical position for all of the boards
and commissions of the city in order to have a secretary that worked for the boards and
commissions only.
CITIZEN COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEMS NOT SCHEDULED FOR PUBLIC
HEARING:
Rick Blythe, introduced himself as Chamber of Commerce board president, however,
spoke as a private citizen said that most of the focus is on the harbor area and encouraged the
board to broaden their issues. He spoke of a memorandum of understanding with the city for
economic development. He spoke of the downtown business that are failing and that he felt
has a broad impact on the community.
Willard Dunham spoke about fish restoration. He said at the last council meeting he
was surprised at the lack of interest in fish restoration when it brings so much revenue,
tourism, and commerce to Seward. He agreed with Blythe that the board needs to broaden
their focus. He said he would like the board to go back to more commerce and trade,
including international trade.
Jerry George, slip E-19, Seward Boat Harbor, handed out a three-page memo
dated September 20, 2005 and addressed to P ACAB. The memo was a list ofthe frustrations
he felt towards the administration's proposed 50-ton TraveliftTM purchase. He made

SPECIAL ORDERS, PRESENTATIONS AND REPORTS
Louis Bencardino, ARRC, noted that as reported in the press, the ARR had above
normal passenger service this year, with $3 million in passenger revenue. He said they are
working on the building, painting the inside in time for the Christmas train and arts and crafts
show, the SeaLife Center Christmas party and Port City Player's New Year's Eve Party. He
said they are bringing in gondolas now and steel for West Construction. He said scrap iron
from old Nash Road was picked up to be shipped out. He stressed how important it is for
locals to have items shipped through Big Foot and Sampson Freight Company. They have
good prices and save the cost of transportation between Seward and Anchorage.
In answer to Long, Bencardino said passenger revenue was up with 8,000 more
people. Ship count was down to 43 for 2006 and Norwegian Lines said they would come
back as a "port of call in 2007." He said four navy ships would be coming next summer and
that they really liked it here last year.
Councilmember Valdatta, (arrived later in the meeting)
Ron Long reported that the Economic Development District board (EDD) would
meet here for their annual meeting on November 17 at noon. Valdatta is the City's borough

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
PRIORITIES AND GOALS
Short-term Marketing Laura Cloward, Chamber Director reported on the multi-
agency plans. Cloward said for some reason the Chamber was not counted as a key player in
the planning of the Multi-Agency. Cloward said not able to voice anything at the meetings
but is trying to stay involved without overstepping her bounds. She said there had been
changes to the building the nature of the conference center. Cloward wondered if we are not
supporting a bigger building than originally planned. P ACAB was invited to attend these
meetings. Altermatt suggested some board members should be there to contribute.
Harbor Improvement Infrastructure Ransom mentioned that local support is
being used on the harbor expansion project like surveyor, Nick Cline, Hoogland's
transportation business, hotels like Holiday Inn and local restaurants are being used in
connection with this project. A preliminary survey of the area had been done for the 50-ton
Travelift™. Timber piling survey first phase, then an RFP for the decking will be sent out.
TraveliftTM delivery is about four months away. Next is a request for another $2 million
grant for the sheet pile dock and new lift dock. Regarding the use of the little road near land
leased by Kasischke, Ransom said it would be the future site of the boat wash down area and
parking for the lift. He said we have a couple of vessels that we need to remove from the
harbor and temporarily impound upland. Altermatt was concerned about land sitting
without monetary gain.
Clark said the City would be taking a more aggressive posture towards money owed
in arrears to the harbor. He favored using a collection agency.
Fish Restoration Cloward explained that we need to make sure stocks stay high.
Mari-culture is working with the SeaLife Center, Inlet, City and the Chamber to improve fish
restoration for Resurrection Bay. She said historically it has been too expensive for Cook
Inlet. They need to make fish restoration more viable. They produce the sockeye run for
Resurrection Bay. They may be able to put a net pen in by the sawmill to grow fish
naturally, increasing their viability Cook Inlet Assoc. can harvest 50% to generate more
revenue for the sports fishery. Long mentioned experiments with salmon that have helped
them adjust from fresh to salt water. Hettinger said it could be marketed as natural fish
released in the wild. VanBuskirk said raising hatchery fry is akin to hardening off plants.
He said the fish would harden off in saltwater without predation and would have a higher
survival rate.

SPECIAL ORDERS, PRESENTATIONS AND REPORTS
Louis Bencardino, Alaska Railroad Corporation Representative, spoke of the Christmas
train and the Holiday Craft Fair. Everything went smoothly including cleanup. The Alaska
SeaLife Center Staff Christmas party is this weekend. The Railroad had to move the x-ray
machine back into Warehouse; it can no longer be stored in a conex. The Kenai Cruisers
have a sixty-foot sweep-rowing boat in the building from December 8-31. There is someone
wanting to build between the two docks. The idea is to build a 150' x 250' structure for
storage, as well as office space on the second floor. He said the vessels Norseman, the
Crowley Barge and the Calisto are at the railroad dock; noting the railroad dock and the
Small Boat Harbor are full. The crew spent money at the craft fair. Quality Asphalt has
obtained area outside building filled with asphalt containers. Floor and walls inside the
building are now painted and will look nice for the New Year's Eve Party. The Port City
Players are putting that event on. Bencardino concluded that local photographer; Ron
Niebrugge has nine pictures in the Alaska Railroad calendar. Altermatt noted that she saw a
TV program in Nevada about the Alaska Railroad.

City of Seward, Alaska Port and Commerce Advisory Board Minutes
Meeting date 12/7/05
Volume 3, page 384
NEW BUSINESS
Altermatt spoke about the direction that P ACAB should move in. She felts as
though after the City Council said they did not want to dissolve P ACAB, but there has not
been progress on the City's part to realign and redirect the committee. Long agreed and
recommended that a resolution be drawn up making P ACAB a seven-person board and able
to see their own budget. Whitman agreed but said he was concerned with Altermatt being
chair. If Altermatt was not going to meet with City Manager Corbridge about realignment
then the rest of the board should move forward.
Harbor Construction Update
Agnes Stow, onsite inspector for Tryck, Nyman and Hayes gave a report on the
project; fuel float has been moved and should have all utilities and the fuel line back on next
week. All the concrete floats are in the water - J and F floats are in place. There will be a
walk through to assess whether there was damage from shipping the floats. Piling on E float
is ready to install. Lash Construction workers are going to take a holiday, and will be back in
January to finish. In answer to Long's question when they can utilize E float, Stow said
February.
CORRESPONDENCE, INFORMATIONAL ITEMS AND REPORTS
Tryck, Nyman and Hayes construction progress report, noted.
BOARD COMMENTS
Hettinger wondered what the City's status with the design plans of the Wesley Care
Center. He wants to make sure that this facility was one the City needed, not just a building
that Providence wanted. Valdatta said that there would be work session on December 9, to
discuss the long-term care facility. He added that there would be someone coming from
Seattle to do a presentation and discuss the environmental impact of the area.
On-Going Projects and Goals
Waliezer said he would like to change everything on the 'On Going Projects List"
to reflect a proactive approach. He said the priorities should be rearranged. Most of the time
we read them, sometimes add, and remove them, but not much else. Altermatt thought that
was a good suggestion and maybe this could be fixed it at the December 21 2005 work
session. Long agreed with Waliezer that we need to make a meaningful move forward in the
next few months by making changes to short-term and long-term list. Mercer suggested that
the lists have target dates with the most imminent at top.
Roger Mercer spoke of the A VTEC program growing and the plans that will be
brought to City Council referring to additional funding.
Long responded to Valdatta's comments on the non-responsiveness of the City of
Seward in regard to the Halibut Charter IFQ by stating that Seward is not eligible for the
