BOX 87 MAYOR AND MEMBERS SEWARD CITY COUNCIL CITY OF SEWARD SEWARD, AK. 99664 DEAR MEMBERS: -I It is my understanding there are vacancies open on the Planning and Zoning Commission in February. Since I will be out of state until the end of February, I am writing this letter to enlist your support for an appointment to the Commission. I am a lifetime resident of Seward and have always been interested in the orderly development of this community. I have served on the City Council and have some insight on how the commission and the City Council can work together to better serve the community. Whatever we can do to enhance our tax base with home construction and economic development projects should be a priority with the City. More year around employment will attract families, put more children in school, and provide more opportunity for people wanting to make Seward their permanent home. Thank you for considering my application for an appointment to the planning and Zoning Commission.

Casey, Public Works Director /I.e. From: Agenda Item: 2006 Model G990 Volvo Motor Grader BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: The Public Works Department, as a portion of the 2006 Budget, scheduled the replacement of the City's 1982 Caterpillar 140G motor grader. The Public Works Street Department desires to purchase a 2006 Volvo Motor Grader, utilizing the State of Alaska's "Cooperative Purchasing" (piggy back) option. The State of Alaska has contracted with CM! (Construction Machinery Inc.) to provide motor graders for a period of three (3) years. Seward City Code 6.10.120(b) allows the city to utilize competitive bids obtained by other governmental units without the need to solicit its own bids. After considerable research, the Public Works Department has found the State contract price with CM! the best value for the City of Seward. Maintenance costs and reliability issues with the 1982 Caterpillar 140G motor grader have indicated that this machine needs to be replaced now. Attached you will find the specifications for the Volvo G990 motor grader we desire to purchase. Please note that the purchase of a Rockland 455A "sloper" has been added as an option to the base price which is Two Hundred Thirty Nine and Seventy~eight Dollars ($239,078.00). The base price including a sloper is Two Hundred Ninety Seven, Three Hundred Ninety-five Dollars ($297,395.00). The sloper will allow for greater efficiency in the maintenance of ditches and Right of Ways. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures. Other: FISCAL NOTE: -. ... 0 ' . -, .&. The purchase of the 2005 Volvo G990 with a sloper will be made from the Motor Pool Fund, Account Code 102-1020-5930.
