C
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The city of Seward has entered into contracts with the Department of Corrections for many years and
this renewal is being presented for adoption. The State of Alaska will pay the City of Seward
$449,472.00 to operate the Seward community Jail in accordance with the conditions set forth in the
attached contact. This contract will be in force from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this Resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive
Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
FISCAL NOTE:
The City of Seward will receive the sum of $449,472.00 from the State of Alaska for this contract.
This is the same amount the City received in FY2006. The City’s FY2007 budget estimates for
operating the jail were about $493,144.00. Therefore, the appropriation from the State falls
approximately $43,472.00 short of covering the direct cost of operating the jail. In addition, the City
estimates the indirect cost of operating the jail at approximately $64,096.00 and the State does not
cover this cost.
