Agenda Statement
440 ski
Meeting Date: August 13, 2012 �a e
To: City Council
q�A K,P
Through: City Manager Jim Hunt
From: Harbormaster, Mack Funk
Agenda Item: Authorizing a boat show sponsored by the Alaska Marine Dealers
Association and establishing rates
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: In past years Seward's business, Sailing Inc. has hosted
an on -water boat show the weekend after Labor Day. This year they would like to expand the show
through their membership in the Alaskan Marine Dealer's Association (a non -profit organization).
The director of the Marine Dealers came to Seward on July 24 and expressed interest in bringing
more members to Seward for this special opportunity. It appears that the City Code 8.30.020 (3)
provides an exclusion from the City's business license requirement for non -profit organizations
engaged in casual and isolated sales.
The purpose of this resolution would be to allow the Marine dealers to use a portion of the parking
lot northerly of the Railway Cantina and Chevron Station at a reduced cost of $100 for their two day
event (plus a day to set -up) September 7 and 8.
The harbor also requests approval to reduce the guest /transient moorage fees by '/2 for participants in
this event. If approved that would set the daily rate at $.33 per foot plus tax and boat launch fees at
$5 for boat show dealers.
INTENT: Encourage more visitors to Seward and marine sales through a boat and marina show.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No N/A
Comprehensive Plan (document source here): Commercial uses allowed
in the Small Boat Harbor should be targeted to those that strengthen the
1. Small Boat Harbor as a center for Marine /Tourist Convenience uses and X
that do not detract from Downtown's role as the community's traditional
shopper goods and services center. (page 29)
Strategic Plan (document source here): Adjust local development
2. regulations, where appropriate, to encourage development that is X
consistent with our economic base vision. (page 5)
3. Other (lisi): X
FISCAL NOTE: The expanded boat show is scheduled for a weekend after the busiest part of the
harbor season. It is expected that adequate parking will be available and the show should bring more
parking and moorage customers.
