The grant is for $4,000,000 and includes infrastructure to complete the upgrade. The chosen location for the warehouse is north of the new generator building, off of Sea Lion Avenue and across the street from the Seward Elementary School.(Please refer to attached AutoCad drawing) This location was chosen to give the electric department the ability to bring together personnel, materials and equipment close to the backup generation facility. In order to complete this project the City must acquire land located to the west along Sea Lion Avenue currently owned by the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The land the electric department requires is approximately 0.56 acres and a similar apportionment was chosen to make the property swap equitable to both the City and the Borough. Once the exchange is complete the City will make the following improvements; First, reroute the bike /pedestrian path to better match the flow of children between the Seward Elementary School and Seward High School, Second: reroute the existing drainage overflow ditch for the City's well field, and Third, bury an underground power line to the City's well pumps in a direct route. The city's wells and pumps are critical infrastructure and require a new electric conductor before failure. INTENT: To exchange the specified pieces of land with the approximate equal acreage with the borough to allow the City of Seward's electrical department to move forward with completion.

THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA Sandie Roach', Chair AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: VACANT: Three ATTEST: Johanna Kinney, CMC City Clerk (City Seal) Lf P &Z Agenda Statement Meeting Date: June 5, 2012 e of sett, q To: Planning and Zoning Commission dL45KP Through Ron Long, Assistant City Manager /Community Development Director From: Donna Glenz, Planner 6, Agenda Item: Resolution 2012 -08 of support to place a proposition before the qualified voters to exempt municipal officials from the Alaska Public Officials Commission (APOC) financial disclosure law and establishing local guidelines BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: By Alaska Statute 39.50, municipal officers are required to fill out candidate, annual and exit Public Official Financial Disclosure Statements. The financial disclosure statement requires disclosure of income sources, business interests, real property interests, beneficial trust interests, loan and loan guarantees, contracts of leases with the State of Alaska or an instrumentality of the State. Alaska Public Officials Commission (APOC) financial disclosure forms have become unreasonable which has created a hardship for keeping and recruiting municipal elected and appointed official in our community. The Planning and Zoning Commission supports the public's right to know the financial and business interest of the persons who seek and hold public office and supports establishing a local provision relating to disclosure. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council have discussed this issue at public work session over the last several years and as recently as March 28 and May 14, 2012. More than 100 of Alaska's communities have opted to be exempt from the Public Official Financial Disclosure Law with no apparent ramifications. More detailed information has been provided by the City Clerk and included within the June 5, 2012 Planning and Zoning Packet. RECOMMENDATION: Approve Planning and Zoning Resolution 2012 -08 supporting City Council place a proposition before the qualified voters to exempt municipal officials from the Alaska Public Officials Commission (APOC) financial disclosure law and establishing local guidelines. 15 Memorandum Date: May 14, 2012 CaS'.."' To: Mayor Seaward, City Council Members From: Johanna Kinney, City Clerk Subj: Discussion and direction on pursuing opting out of the State of Alaska Public Official Financial Disclosure Laws. By Alaska Statute 39.50, municipal officers are required to fill out candidate, annual, and exit Public Official Financial Disclosure Statements. They are to be kept on file with the municipal clerk for six years, and the clerk is responsible for sending copies to the Alaska Public Offices Commission, the managing state agency for AS 39.50. The Mayor, City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission, and City Manager are required to fill out this form. The financial disclosure statement requires disclosure of income sources, business interests, real property interests, beneficial trust interests, loan and loan guarantees, contracts of leases with the State of Alaska or an instrumentality of the State. In 2007, the State of Alaska amended its public official disclosure law, significantly increasing the burden on city officials. One of the biggest burdens was the changing of reporting income, rental income, dividends, interest trusts and retirement accounts, loans /loan guarantees and debts from $5,000 to $1,000. Many elected and appointed officials serving Seward have said these changes are intrusive and can put business owners at a competitive disadvantage. Since June of 2007, the City of Seward Planning and Zoning Commission has not had a full commission, with the exception of one month in 2009. Currently the board is operating with four commissioners, which is the minimum number of members needed to hold a quorum for business meetings. They have had to cancel several meetings this year due to a lack of quorum. In 2008, the City Council directed that the City of Seward pursue opting -out of these state requirements, which is allowed according to state statute upon approval of the voters of the city. The proposition failed, 185 people (44 %) voted to opt out of the APOC requirements, while 232 people (56 %) voted against opting out. There are currently over 100 boroughs and municipalities that have opted out of the state's financial disclosure statement requirements. Through research, many have adopted their own forms as well, and they are essentially the state form prior to the 2007 amendment. A /6. • The process of opting out of the state Public Official Financial Disclosure requirements is generally explained as follows: • The question of exemption is submitted by the City Council by ordinance or initiative election. Council must approve an ordinance to place the question of exemption from the law on the ballot. • If the city would like to expend funds to influence the outcome of a ballot proposition or question, they must follow specific guidelines in appropriating funds and reporting those funds to the Alaska Public Offices Commission. This is recommended to cover any costs (such as copies, postage, etc.). • If council wants to adopt its own form (contingent upon a majority vote of the voters of Seward), it is recommended they approve such a form by resolution. Additionally, council should consider the enforcement aspect of having the City of Seward maintain, regulate, and administer its own financial disclosure statement form and enforcement of late filings, ethics complaints, etc. • Voters decide at a regular or special municipality -wide election whether or not to opt out of AS 39.50, Public Official Financial Disclosure. If a majority vote decides to opt out, municipal officials are no longer subject to AS 39.50 and a copy of the election results must be given to APOC. If a majority vote decides not to opt out, officials will continue to report under AS 39.50. Direction needed by council: o Does council wish to pursue opting out of the Public Official Financial Disclosure Laws, as required by AS 39.50? A non -code Ordinance must be enacted to do so. o If such an ordinance is enacted and contingent upon a successful citizen vote does council want to adopt its own financial disclosure statement form? Attached is the approved form had the 2008 proposition passed by the voters of Seward. This is essentially the Public Official Financial Disclosure Statement before the 2007 amendment, but to be administered by the City of Seward instead of APOC. Is this the form council would like to substantially use? A resolution will come before council for formal consideration if so directed. o Does council wish to expend funds to influence the outcome of the election? An appropriation must be made by council ordinance and any expenses will be filed with the Alaska Public Offices Commission. The City Clerk is prepared to make a neutral ballot summary statement if action is taken to put this on a ballot, but will seek attorney opinion if it is appropriate as the election official to prepare or assist council with influencing the outcome of an election. /V r 1 Other Communities That Have Opted Out: Bristol Bay Borough (2 " Class Borough): - -Has a code of ethics section in borough code -- defines substantial financial interest as $2,500 - -also has an established board of ethics that conducts hearings, who can determine disciplinary action for violations by officers including suspension, discharge /removal from office, or other disciplinary action as the manager or assembly may determine. - -must file a written statement of financial interests and establishes unlawfulness for failure to file such a statement or falsely file information and imposes a fine of $300 if a violation occurs. City of Cordova (Home Rule City): -- Exempted from AS 39.50 in 1975 and does not appear to have a financial disclosure statement, just a conflicts of interest section in the code similar to Seward's.

A business owner informing potential clients that they have to disclose their personal information on the APOC financial disclosure forms, could discourage that client from doing business with that owner, just because they have volunteered to be on the city council or boards and commissions. The City of Seward has seen one resignation from the Seward Planning & Zoning Commission, with more threatening to follow. Two potential candidates have declined volunteering after seeing these forms. The new forms require a potential elected or appointed official to now list all funds received over $1000. Every member also must fill out "exit" applications. There has been talk this information will be posted on the internet in 2009. These new requirements have created a hardship for our town to appoint good qualified volunteers for our council and boards and commissions. AS 39.50.145 states; "A municipality may exempt its municipal officers from the requirements of this chapter if a majority of the voters voting on the question at a regular election, as defined by AS 29.71.800(20), or a special municipality -wide election, vote to exempt its municipal officers from the requirements of this chapter. The question of exemption from the requirements of this chapter may be submitted by the city council or borough assembly by ordinance or by initiative election" (ordinance change to put before voters is attached). ➢ The Alaska Municipal League (AML) passed resolution 2008 -15 on November 9, 2007, which asked the state legislature to address these amendments, based on the fact elected and appointed bodies were having difficulties finding candidates, and that the financial reporting requirements were compounding that problem (Attached). In a 3/12/08 phone conversation with Kathie Wasserman, Director of AML, she stated she had spoke with State Legislators, APOC board members and the Attorney General, but none of them were willing to relax these rules because of the current political atmosphere within the state. Wasserman was positive nothing would be done this legislative session, and urged people to contact their legislators about this problem. pr2.• > Around half of Alaska's 200+ communities have already voted to be exempt from state disclosure requirements. This list is also attached. In polling other city clerks recently, we have found; > per a Feb 19 council meeting, Delta is having an ordinance drafted to exempt them from the requirements because of the intrusiveness of the forms. > Sitka is not pleased with the new requirements, and would be putting an exemption to the voters this fall. > Both Wasilla and Ketchikan Gateway Borough clerks were not sure this would pass in their communities because of the recent climate of impropriety with Juneau lawmakers. > Kodiak had opted out years ago (1976), and I have attached a copy of their financial disclosure form that they require for public viewing. > The city clerk in Juneau had contacted Brooke Miles with APOC on this very question, and below was the response back; To clarify the concern regarding the posting of municipal financial disclosure statements online, I believe that the legislation passed last year (HB 109 - and I'm looking it up as I type this) that only municipalities with a population of more than 5,000 will be required to file online. It will be the online filing that creates the database for online viewing. This section of the law takes effect January 1, 2009. As you are most likely aware, we do not have the technology for receiving electronically filed statements this year, but it will be ready in time for the 2009 annual statement and the 2009 October elections. I have heard concerns from many municipalities are considering placing on the October 8, 2008 election ballots the proposal to opt out of financial disclosure filing under AS 39.50 (which is permitted in accordance with AS 30.50.145) and enacting, by ordinance, their own financial disclosure requirements based on the state law before the HB 109 amendments. One of the issues that remains to be resolved is the matter of the records custodian. Under AS 39.50.020(b), municipal clerks are the custodian for the municipal filings (as you are well aware). I'm uncertain of how this relates to electronic filing. I intend to ask the department of law for guidance on this issue, and we shall do our diligent best to keep municipal clerks on top of these discussions. Although it has been rumored and spoke of above, of having these forms available on the internet, but only to city's with populations of 5000 or less, this could not be substantiated by press time. In your discussion, you may decide to opt out and put this on the ballot for October. If so, you may also decide what the city's requirements for disclosure should be to prevent conflicts of interest, to help assure the integrity of the decision - making process, and to assist holding our public officials accountable. If approved by the voters, a local disclosure form like Kodiak's could be instituted later to provide adequate safeguards for the public.

Elected and appointed officials are defined as the city manager, candidates and seated Mayor and City Council members and Seward Planning & Zoning Commissioners. Those statutory provisions are applicable unless a majority of qualified voters at a general election, vote to exempt from the requirements of those statutory provisions. By approval of non -code Ordinance 2008 -005 on April 28, 2008 and Resolution 2008 -042 on May 12, 2008, the city council has voted that it wishes to exempt out of the requirements of AS 39.50; the State of Alaska Public Official Financial Disclosure Law and adopt its own set of financial disclosure and conflict of interest laws, thus turning the question over to the qualified voters of the community. Any disseminated information distributed on this matter could be seen as an intention to influence the outcome of an election. The City is allowed to prepare and distribute neutral materials to educate the public on the proposition before them. However, under AS 15.13.145, a municipality may not use money to influence the outcome of an election unless the funds have been specifically appropriated for that purpose by the elected body. Since dissemination and postage would cost money, and the City may wish to educate the public on this matter, this non -code ordinance is needed to use budgeted municipal funds and follow the reporting requirements as stated in 2 AAC 50.360 and AS 15.13.140 -155. INTENT: To expend public funds for non - partisan ballot summary issues related to Proposition #1 which exempts the City of Seward elected and appointed officials from the State of Alaska Public Official Disclosure Law and could influence the outcome of the election. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Where applicable, this ordinance is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures. Other: FISCAL NOTE: ‘3c The amount of $1,500 is an estimate. Funding for this appropriation is available between the city council promotion and election budget. Approved by Finance Department: RECOMMENDATION: City Council introduce and enact Non -Code Ordinance 2008 -017 appropriating funds for the purpose of possible expenditures to educate the public which could influence the outcome of an election concerning ballot proposition #1, which exempts the City of Seward from the State of Alaska Public Officials Disclosure Law and adopts its own form and guidelines upon passage. /1/6- Sponsored by: Oates CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2008 -042 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, ESTABLISHING LOCAL FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE GUIDELINES FOR APPOINTED AND ELECTED OFFICIALS AND APPROVING THE CITY OF SEWARD FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE FORM UPON VOTER APPROVAL AND PASSAGE OF PROPOSITION #1 AT THE OCTOBER 7, 2008 MUNICIPAL ELECTION WHEREAS, the Alaska Legislature has statutory provisions relating to the disclosure and reporting of financial and business interests of public officials, which includes municipal elected and appointed officials; and WHEREAS, the new requirements have become too intrusive and unreasonable, which has created a hardship for keeping and recruiting municipal elected and appointed officials in our community; and WHEREAS, appointed and elected officials will be defined as; the city manager, candidates and seated Mayor and City Council members and Seward Planning & Zoning Commissioners; and WHEREAS, those statutory provisions are applicable to municipal officers unless a majority of the voters at a general election, approve an ordinance exempting its municipal officers from the requirements of the state provisions; and WHEREAS, the City Council believes in the public's right to know the financial and business interests of the persons who seek and hold public office, and desires to establish adequate local provisions relating to disclosure of business and financial interests and conflicts of interest; and WHEREAS, the City Council has established a financial disclosure form for Seward which basically adopts the requirements of the State Public Officials 2007 form; and WHEREAS, passage of the new City of Seward's financial disclosure form continues to assure public access, accountability, and continue the public trust by requiring officials in their official acts to disclose private or business interests; and WHEREAS, this change would still protect the public from the influence of undisclosed private or business interests, permit public access to information necessary to judge the credentials and performance of those who seek and hold public office, while allowing certain rights of privacy for our citizens seeking to hold public office. �'3 CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2008 -042 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that: Section 1.

Upon research, it became noticed that municipalities could opt out or be exempt from this law (AS39.50) if they received voter approval from their communities. Further research showed over half of the municipalities around the state had already exempted themselves from these state provisions. "Appointed and elected officials" will include; the city manager, candidates and seated Mayor and City Council positions and Seward Planning & Zoning Commissioners. The City Council voted unanimously to put a non -code ordinance on the ballot for the October 7, 2008 municipal election for voter approval, exempting the City of Seward from the state requirements in AS39.50. The City Council also voiced concern that Seward adopt its own form that would meet the intent listed below. For your approval is a modified 2007Alaska Public Official Commission form, that basically adopts the old form prior to the most recent changes. The items changed are: • Kept the 2007 APOC $5000 limit instead of the new $1000 limit. • Took out all references to the APOC manual. • Added a footer which was adopted from the new 2008 APOC forms. • Took out where it referred to each individual year, and put the words "the preceding calendar year" to save time and money in annual form changes. • Added records retention language • Added words notifying the public this only exempted Seward from the state disclosure laws, not the state campaign laws. INTENT: To establish financial disclosure guidelines that continue to protect the public from the influence of undisclosed private and business interests, provide public access to information necessary to judge the credentials of those seeking to hold public office, assure accountability and continue the public trust, while still allowing for certain rights of privacy for citizens wishing to seek public office.

Under the same law that requires your municipal officials to file Public Official Financial Disclosure Statements, there is an option for a municipality to exempt their officials from reporting. The authority to opt out of the POFD reporting requirements can be found in AS 39.50.145, Alaska's Public Official Financial Disclosure Law: Sec. 39.50.145. Participation by municipalities. A municipality may exempt its municipal officers from the requirements of this chapter if a majority of the voters voting on the question at a regular election, as defined by AS 29.71.800(20), or a special municipality -wide election, vote to exempt its municipal officers from the requirements of this chapter. The question of exemption from the requirements of this chapter may be submitted by the city council or borough assembly by ordinance or by initiative election. (§ 16 ch 25 SLA 1975; am § 1 ch 211 SLA 1975; am § 62 ch 74 SLA 1985) Some municipalities have chosen to discontinue the reporting requirement entirely and some municipalities have chosen to opt out but to create a simpler version of the requirements and forms. If your municipality votes to opt out of the reporting requirements, the information is no longer required by the state. If your municipality votes to opt out of the POFD law and substitute a simplified version of financial disclosure reporting requirements, there will be no further requirement for you to provide the information to the Alaska Public Offices Commission. Of those municipalities that have opted out of the current Public Official Financial Disclosure reporting requirements under AS 39.50, some have modified previous APOC forms and now administer their own version of financial disclosure reporting. MUNICIPAL POFD OPT OUT PROCESS APOC June 2010 Page 1 of 4 "3 1 f? PROCESS FOR OPTING OUT Step 1: The question of exemption from AS 39.50 is submitted by your city council or borough assembly, by ordinance or by initiative election. The city council must approve the ordinance to place the question of exemption from the law on the ballot. (See attached sample language.) Step 2: Educate voters on the ballot question. There are specific guidelines under state law that a municipality must follow if municipal funds are to be used to influence the outcome of a ballot proposition or question. (See AS 15.13.145 below) Step 3: Voters decide at a regular or special municipality - wide election whether or not to opt out of AS 39.50. Step 4: If a majority of voters decide to opt out of POFD reporting requirements, your municipal officials are no longer subject to AS 39.50. Step 5: You must provide APOC with a copy of the official election results indicating that your municipality is no longer subject to the POFD law administered by APOC. Your officials and candidates will not be required to file POFD statements the following year. (If a majority of voters decide not to opt out of the POFD reporting requirements, your officials will continue reporting under AS 39.50.)

Skis to main content Alaska Department of Administration AP'f, Alaska Public Offices Commission FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MUNICIPALITIES AND PUBLIC FUNDS 1. May a municipality use money to support or oppose a candidate? No. Municipalities, school districts, and regional educational attendance areas (REAA), or another political subdivision of the state as well as an officer or employee of the above entities may not use municipal funds to influence the outcome of the election of a candidate to state or municipal office. The state, its agencies, its corporations and the University of Alaska and its Board of Regents are also prohibited from spending state funds to influence the outcome of an election of a candidate to state or municipal office. (AS 15.13.145(a)) 2. May a municipality use money to support or oppose a ballot proposition? t Yes. A municipality may use public funds to influence the outcome of an election concerning a ballot proposition or question, but only if the funds have been specifically appropriated. (AS 15.13.145(b) & 2 AAC 50.356(a)) V 3. How may a municipality spend public funds if no money has been specifically appropriated? Money held by a municipality may be used to: • disseminate information about the date and time and place of an election and to hold an election, • and to provide the public with nonpartisan information about a ballot proposition or question or about all the candidates seeking election to a particular office. (AS 15.13.145(C)) Information is nonpartisan if it does not advocate a position in an election. Nonpartisan information includes the official language of a ballot question, a neutral ballot summary, or if provided for all candidates seeking a particular office, the candidates' names, contact information, or statements. (2 AAC 50.356 (c)) 4. What are the reporting requirements if a Municipality spends public funds? When a municipality spends funds, either appropriated or to produce nonpartisan information, the expenditures must be reported to the Commission in the same manner as an individual is required to report. (AS 15.13.145(d)) The municipality must file a "Statement of Independent Expenditures" (Form 15 -6), within 10 days of making the expenditure. (AS 15.13.o4o(d)(e)) 5. If the municipality limits its activity to publishing notices of the election are there reporting requirements? No. Only expenditures intended to influence the outcome of an election (including nonpartisan materials) must be reported to the APOC. (2 AAC 50.360 (b)) i 6. What type of Identifier must the communications have? All communications intended to influence the outcome of an election must have a "Paid for by" Identifier (Notices of the election do not need an identifier). The words "Paid for by" must appear followed by the name of the municipality and address. A contact person's name is recommended. (AS 15.13.090) In addition, by administrative regulation all communications which are paid for by a municipality and which are related to an election are considered to be intended to influence the outcome of an election, unless they are only notices of the election or are required by statute, charter or ordinance.

Opening Ceremony Commissioner Butts led the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Roll Call There were present: Sandie Roach' presiding, and Dale Butts Cindy Ecklund Tena Morgan comprising a quorum of the Commission; and Donna Glenz, City Planner Dwayne Atwood, Planning Technician City Administration Report City Planner Donna Glenz updated the Commission on the following business items: • The Seward Highway at the Trial River Bridge was scheduled to be closed nightly from 10 p.m. through 6 a.m. from May 7 through May 10. • The Resurrection Bay Conservation Alliance had been working with the City of Seward to restore the bank vegetation along lower Scheffler Creek. • Two proposed City Code changes and a proposed rezone action had been moved forward to City Council and would be introduced on May 14. • Two ordinances relating to three tax foreclosure parcels were slated to go before City Council for introduction on May 14. One parcel was in the Crawford Subdivision in the Resurrection River area, and two parcels were along First Avenue between Madison and Monroe streets. • Staff worked with the Seward Bear Creek Flood Service Area to complete a public mailing of floodplain development information. • The last regularly scheduled local visit by Social Security Administration representatives was slated for June. • A joint work session with City Council was scheduled for May 14 to formulate recommendations regarding Alaska Public Offices Commission financial reporting requirements for local officials. City of Seward, Alaska Planning Commission Minutes May 1, 2012 Volume 6, Page 4 81 • Administration requested that New Business item (C.) be added to the May 1 meeting agenda to set the topic for the May 15, 2012 Planning & Zoning work session. Commissioner Morgan asked Administration who owned the First Avenue properties that were in tax foreclosure and why they were being acquired. Glenz said the properties were owned by the Goresen Estate, but had become derelict and would be cleaned up by the City of Seward. Commissioner Butts asked if anyone had expressed interest in acquiring or developing the Goresen Estate properties. Glenz said the action was being driven by the Kenai Peninsula Borough tax foreclosure process, and the City of Seward can decide whether to acquire the parcels. Roach' asked if the property would ultimately be sold at fair market value. Glenz said the Goresen Estate properties would go out for public bid, once they had been cleaned up. The City could recover costs at that time, Glenz said.

Morgan noted there should be a continued effort to recruit more Commissioners to fill vacancies. Ecklund said the May 1 meeting agenda included no crucial items and suggested future meetings be canceled or postponed if there are no significant items or issues to address. Roach' commented that it would be good to promote the Commission and publicize some Planning & Zoning issues to create more public awareness. Citizens' Comments — None Commission and Administration Response to Citizens' Comments — Glenz asked the Commission for direction regarding the effort to provide more public education. Roach' said the continued effort to place public announcements in the local newspapers and online would be beneficial. The publicizing of issues and topics could help to generate a community conversation. Glenz addressed Ecklund's concern about holding a meeting despite having few items for the agenda. Glenz said she thought it was prudent to hold the regularly scheduled meeting, given the numerous meeting cancellations that occurred during the winter. The public had expressed concerns about the Commission's ability to meet in a timely fashion to conduct business. Commissioners agreed that additional recruitment of members was needed to fill vacancies, making it easier to establish a quorum when needed.
