PORT AND COMMERCE ADVISORY BOARD
RESOLUTION 2007-01
RESOLUTION OF THE PORT AND COMMERCE ADVISORY BOARD,
PROVIDING A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL TO AMEND THE
CITY OF SEWARD'S 2007 ANNUAL BUDGET BY REMOVING THE
CARGO FEE
WHEREAS, there are current on-going negotiations to bring new enterprises to Seward and
additional uses to the Alaska Railroad Dock; and
WHEREAS, to impose a fee in the midst of these discussion could be counter productive;
and
WHEREAS, new enterprises bring additional employment, which brings additional
purchases of utilities and payment of sales taxes to the City; and
WHEREAS, additional employment also brings coaches, mentors and volunteers into the
Community; and
--
WHEREAS, growth in Seward's economy benefits everyone; and
WHEREAS, government and nonprofit institutions mitigate impacts to infrastructure in a
variety of ways; and
WHEREAS, government and nonprofit institutions provide enormous economic and quality
of life impacts to the Community; and
WHEREAS, the City of Seward should look for economic incentives to get more business
into Seward rather then enact potential disincentives.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Port and Commerce Advisory
Board that:
Section 1. The Board recommends Council amend the City of Seward's 2007 Budget by
removing the Cargo Fee.
Section 2. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
PASSED AND APPROVED by the Port and Commerce Advisory Board this 7th day of
