Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: September 13, 2010 e 4 Of sett,
Through: Phillip Oates, City Manager
From: Kari Anderson, Harbormaster
Subject: Lease Amendment for USCG 75 -055
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Initially, the United States Government (U.S. Coast Guard), entered into a lease with the
City for 7,500 square feet, more or less, within Lot 2, Block 6, Marina Subdivision,
Seward Small Boat Harbor. This leased area encompasses the USCG shore - support
building and associated infrastructure. Clause 5 of Standard Form 2 of this lease provides
that the Lessee shall not extend the initial term of the Lease past the last day of
September 2010. However, this proposed lease extension would be the first and final
extension of the current lease for a maximum period of one year, through the last day of
September 2011. The U.S. Coast Guard has requested this one year extension, to allow
the shore - support building to be relocated to a new lease site in the NE Harbor during the
Summer of 2011 concurrent to the timeline of the USCG Cutter Mustang relocation to the
Security (Z) float.
The building located on this site crosses a lot line, in violation of SCC 12.01.030. A
portion of the building is located on land owned by the Alaska Railroad. To that end, the
City and the Alaska Railroad entered into a lease agreement in 1986 for a portion of
undeveloped land, which was in turn utilized by the U.S. Coast Guard. The Alaska
Railroad lease expires March 31, 2011 and the Railroad administration will be seeking
Board approval of an extension to September 30, 2011. The Lease Amendment now
before council for approval will extend the lease of City -owned land to September 30,
2011. Prior to March 31, 2011, a lease extension with the Alaska Railroad is expected to
be presented to council for approval.
INTENT: To propose an extension of the current lease with the UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA (U.S. Coast Guard), #75 -055 for an additional year, ending September 30,
2011.
