NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA that: Section 1. Sections 265 of the Port & Harbor Tariff Regulations entitled 250-Travelift Fees be amended as follows: Strikeout= delete Bold Italics=new 265 250-TON TRAVELIFT FEES (a) Description of Charge. The lift fee is the charge for lifting a vessel from the water or the land utilizing the City's 250-ton Travelift. A separate lift fee is generated whenever a vessel is lifted, even if it is only lifted and relocated on land. Lift fees do not include overtime labor charges for operation of the Travelift system as described in Subsection 225 of this tariff. (b) Lift Fee (1) Minimum Fee. The minimum fee for a lift on the 250-ton Travelift shall be THREE HUNDRED FORTY-SIX DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS ($346.50) for the first hour of use or any portion of time less than one (1) hour. The overall length of the vessel will determine the lift fee. A full lift fee is charged once a lift has commenced, even if that lift is subsequently interrupted, suspended or canceled for any reason. The risk of loss because of a suspended or canceled lift by reason of mechanical failure or difficulty with the Travelift system is the responsibility of the vessel owner/operator. Once a lift is ILO CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2014-030 scheduled and the boat owner fails to show or cancel the lift at least one hour prior to the scheduled lift time, the minimum lift fee will be charged. (2) Additional Lift Fee Rates for Large Vessels. For all vessels over FIFTY-FIVE (55) feet in length, an additional TWENTY-ONE DOLLARS ($21.00) shall be charged for each foot of vessel length over fifty five (55) feet during the first hour of use or any portion of time less than one (1) hour. (3) Second and Additional Hours of Lift. For use of a lift in excess of one (1) hour, a fee of THREE HUNDRED FORTY-SIX DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS ($ 346.50) per hour shall be charged. This charge shall be assessed in not less than fifteen (15) minute increments of EIGHTY-SIX DOLLARS AND SIXTY-THREE CENTS ($86.63) and shall be generated per one-quarter (1/4) hour or any portion of time less than one-quarter (1/4) hour. (4) Relocation Fee. Relocation of all vessels on the uplands shall be charged at a rate of THREE HUNDRED FORTY-SIX DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS ($346.50) per hour. (c) Wash Down Pad Fee (1) Pressure washing shall only be performed on the wash down pad. The work will be performed by private personnel- either vessel owners and crew or licensed and insured vendors. (2) Iffor whatever reason, the wash down system is not useable, the Harbor may issue an assurance to the customer that the facility can be used at another time. (3) The straight time rate for using the pad is $2.50 per foot per hour. There is a one hour minimum. Additional time over the first hour will be billed in 15 minute increments. Section 2. This resolution shall take effect ten days after adoption. PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Council of the City of Seward, Alaska, this 14th day of April, 2014. THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA Jean Bardarson, Mayor Agenda Statement ' 0c Sew Meeting Date: April 14, 2014 y►.:4"4"«. To: City Council P LASS Through: City Manager Jim Hunt From: Harbormaster Mack Funk Agenda Item: Establishing rates for boat washing BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: In October 2013 the Wash Down pad at SMIC was completed. The Administration developed a list of rates and rules that were vetted at a PACAB meeting during 2013. However, the rates have not yet been approved and placed into the harbor tariff. The proposed rates are $2.50 per foot (of vessel length) per hour compared to a rate of$6.30 per foot per hour for hauling out and launching a 55-foot vessel. The difference in the two rates can be explained by the fact that the lift will already be warmed up and in service during the washing process. Furthermore, the proposed wash rate does not include the labor to operate the pressure washers. Customers and private contractors will perform the washing in most cases. If the harbor staff is called on to perform the washing, standard labor rates would be charged. INTENT: To establish rates for pressure washing vessels at SMIC. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No N/A Comprehensive Plan (document source here): Continue to support, 1. promote, enhance and develop harbor facilities to accommodate X Seward's growing demand for marine transport facilities. (page 33) 2 Strategic Plan (document source here): Seward Marine Industrial Center X Development Plan 3. Other (list): X FISCAL NOTE: The Wash Down Pad was built almost entirely with grant money. The annual operating revenue is estimated at$10,000 with operating expenses of$5000. Approved by Finance Department: ATTORNEY REVIEW: Yes No RECOMMENDATION: To approve Resolution 2014- to amend the Port and Harbor Tariff Regulations to add section 265 (c)Wash Down Pad Fee.

The purpose of the system is to clean boat bottoms and to collect harmful chemicals and/or invasive biological species. 2. No pressure washing will be allowed in the SMIC boatyard other than on the pad. The only exception will be boats that are hauled out on the shiplift. 3. The harbor workers will set up the wash water recycling system and two diesel pressure washers at the pad. 4. The pressure washing will be performed by private personnel- either vessel owners and crew or licensed and insured vendors (such as Storm Chasers, Raibow, Seward Ships Dry. Dock, etc.). 5. The vessel owner can determine how thoroughly they want to perform the job with a 60 minute minimum. (30 minutes is about how long it takes to set up and later put away the equipment, but the vessel won't be charged any extra for that time). Additional time over the first hour will be billed in 15 minute increments. G. The Harbormaster, or his designee, shall have the authority to waive the mandatory pressure washing requirement. For example, a vessel owner may request a waiver for hauling out and hanging in the boat lift slings for short in and out jobs such as: prop repair, shaft vvorkc stuffing box, and inspections. Each such request will be evaluated by the Harbor staff. 7. If the vessel owner asks to wash the entire boat bottom, including beneath the slings of the boat lift, the Harbor staff has blocks for that purpose. The Harbor workers will carefully set the boat's keel on blocks during the pressure washing operation. Q. The pressure washing equipment is portable. When it is not being used it will be stored inside away from freezing weather. During severe or extended freezing weather the Wash Down pad may be temporarily or seasonally shut down. (More than 70%of haul- outs occur between May and October). 9. If for whatever reason, the wash down system is not useable, the Harbor may issue an assurance to the customer that the facility can be used at another time (rain check) and at the hourly rate stated below. A rain check will include 30 minutes of time, off the clock, to account for the time to lift the boat, move it to the pad, and re-block the boat, in the yard, at the end of the wash. 10. Vessel personnel must remove all debris scraped/washed off of vessels and properly dispose of debris. (:) 1111■•■ Rates Wash-down Pad rate is $2.50 per foot per hour. Rain check rate is $2.50 per foot per hour. If additional cleaning of pad is necessary by Harbor staff, the City of Seward hourly/OT labor rates apply. \ C) Sponsored by: Port and Commerce Advisory Board Introduction: April 14, 2014 Public Hearing: April 28, 2014 Enactment: CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA ORDINANCE 2014-001 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, AMENDING SECTION 7.10.315 OF THE SEWARD CITY CODE RELATING TO PAYMENT OF TRANSIENT(GUEST) MOORAGE WHEREAS, the current ordinance regarding payment of monthly moorage for transient (guest) vessels in the harbor requires payment on a calendar month basis with no payments in arrears; and WHEREAS, the current ordinance can result in higher payments for transient (guest) vessels who arrive after the first day of a calendar month and must pay the daily moorage rate; and WHEREAS, the Harbormaster implemented new computer software in April, 2013 that now allows monthly moorage to be calculated and paid on a monthly basis from any date, not just the first day of a calendar month; and WHEREAS, the city welcomes all visitors and vessels, and would like to amend the Seward City Code to minimize the financial impact on transient vessels staying less than four hours and vessels arriving after the first day of a calendar month in the Seward Small Boat Harbor. NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, HEREBY ORDAINS that Section 1. The definition of"Harbor tariff' in Section 7.10.135 of the Seward City Code is amended as follows: Strikeout=delete Bold Italics =new Harbor tariff "Harbor tariff' means the City of Seward Port and Harbor Terminal Tariff Regulations as approved by the City Council and amended from time-to-time.

The daily assignment period is 12:01 a.m. to midnight on the first calendar day of arrival in the harbor to midnight. The daily moorage fee as set forth in the harbor tariff will be levied on all vessels that are registered on the harbor's daily inventory that do not have a reserved moorage space assigned, unless longer term moorage is paid in advance. Discounts for prepayment of transient moorage fees are available as set forth in the harbor tariff for monthly, semi-annual, and annual terms.

ENACTED by the City Council of the City of Seward, Alaska, this 28th day of April, 2014. THE CITY OF SEWARD,ALASKA Jean Bardarson, Mayor AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ATTEST: Johanna Kinney, CMC City Clerk (City Seal) 1�, Council Agenda Statement Meeting Date: April 14, 2014 qn,OC sets. .F,,volt4o Through: Jim Hunt, City Manager From: Mack Funk, Harbormaster 1CA—sY, Agenda Item: Transient (Guest) Moorage Payments BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: The City Code and Tariff regarding payment of monthly moorage for transient(guest)vessels in the harbor requires payment on a calendar month basis with no payments in arrears. Therefore if a guest boater arrives in the middle of a calendar month the charges are based on the harbor's daily rates. The Harbor Department implemented new computer software in 2012 and 2013 that now allows monthly moorage to be calculated and paid on a monthly basis from any date, not just the first day of a calendar month. The City welcomes all visitors and vessels, and would like to amend the Seward City Code to minimize the financial impact on transient vessels mooring in the Seward Small Boat Harbor. In order to implement this change, City Code Section 7.10.315 needs to be modified plus Harbor Tariff section 205. In addition there is an inconsistent definition in the City Code that needs to be corrected. Another change to the tariff is to change 5 citations of permanent moorage to reserved moorage. INTENT: The purpose of Ordinance 2014- is to allow customers to pay in advance monthly fees beginning on any day of the month. The Ordinance will be introduced on April 14 and the Resolution and Ordinance will be scheduled for adoption on April 28. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No N/A Comprehensive Plan (document source here): Continue to support, 1. promote, enhance and develop harbor facilities to accommodate X Seward's growing demand for marine transport facilities. (page 33) Strategic Plan (document source here): Adjust local development 2. regulations where appropriate, to encourage development that is X consistent with our economic vision. (Page 5) 3. Other (list): FISCAL NOTE: This change will be more fair to boaters and it should also eliminate some harbor staff hours devoted to sending letters and issuing account credits on this subject. It may result is some reduced moorage revenues, but the amount is insignificant. Approved by Finance Department: ATTORNEY REVIEW: Yes_X No RECOMMENDATION: Approve Ordinance 2014- u" making changes to Title 7 of the City Code. Sponsored by: PACAB CITY OF SEWARD,ALASKA PORT AND COMMERCE ADVISORY BOARD RESOLUTION 2014-03 A RESOLUTION OF THE PORT AND COMMERCE ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 205 OF THE PORT & HARBOR TARIFF REGULATIONS RELATING TO SHORT-TERM VESSEL STAY AND PAYMENT OF TRANSIENT (GUEST) MOORAGE WHEREAS,the current tariff regarding payment of monthly moorage for transient(guest) vessels in the harbor requires payment on a calendar month basis with no payments in arrears; and WHEREAS,the current tariff can result in higher payments for transient(guest)vessels who arrive after the first day of a calendar month and must pay the daily moorage rate; and WHEREAS,the Harbormaster implemented new computer software in 2012 and 2013 that now allows monthly moorage to be calculated and paid on a monthly basis from any date,not just the first day of a calendar month; and WHEREAS,the City welcomes all visitors and vessels,and would like to amend the Seward City Code to minimize the financial impact on transient vessels staying less than four hours and vessels arriving after the first day of a calendar month in the Seward Small Boat Harbor. NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA that: Section 1. Sections 200 and 205 of the Port & Harbor Tariff Regulations entitled respectively Moorage and Moorage Rates are amended as follows: Strikeout=delete Bold Italics =new Table of Contents SECTION II-SERVICES AND CHARGES 200 MOORAGE 9 Outside the Small Boat Harbor Within the Small Boat Harbor (a) Assignment of Berths (b) Waiting List for Permanent Reserved Slip Assignment (c) Permanent Reserved Slip Assignments (d) Grace Period for Late Renewals (e) New Permanent Reserved Slip Assignment LA Port and Commerce Advisory Board RESOLUTION 2014-003 (f) Pennefient Reserved and Temporary(Transient) Slip Assignments (g) Notice Upon Arrival (h) Vessel Registration SECTION II - SERVICES AND CHARGES 200 MOORAGE Outside the Small Boat Harbor: Vessels berthing or departing city docks, wharves, or any other terminal facility,including the shiplift system,must use sufficient tugs so that vessels can be berthed or removed in a safe manner. Berthing speed shall not exceed sixteen feet per minute,unless approved by the Harbormaster. Within the Small Boat Harbor: (a) Assignment of Berths. The Small Boat Harbor is often congested and it is the policy of the City of Seward to provide for the maximum public use of available facilities. The Harbormaster shall have discretion to implement that policy. Berth assignments to particular slips on the City of Seward float system are made by the Harbormaster. Berth assignments are made to a particular combination of vessel and owner/operator,are not assignable by the owner/operator and automatically expire upon sale or transfer of the vessel to another owner/operator. A berth assignment is not a lease or an exclusive right to occupy any particular slip. In order to maximize the public's use of existing facilities,it is common for the Harbormaster to temporarily assign vessels to slips normally used by another vessel when that vessel is out of the harbor. (b) Waiting List for Pcrmancnt Reserved Slip Assignment. Due to the demand for slips on the City of Seward float system,vessels will be assigned permanent reserved slips based on waiting lists maintained by the Harbormaster's office. Separate waiting lists shall be maintained for the following size floats: 17 feet(accommodates vessel 12 to 21 feet) 23 feet(accommodates vessel 22 to 26 feet) 32 feet(accommodates vessel 27 to 36 feet) 40 feet(accommodates vessel 37 to 44 feet) 50 feet(accommodates vessel 45 to 54 feet) 60 feet(accommodates vessel 55 to 64 feet) 75 feet(accommodates vessel 65 to 79 feet) 90 feet(accommodates vessel 80 to 94 feet) 100 feet(accommodates vessel 95 to 104 feet) 105 feet or longer-side tie only-up to 150 feet Assignments to a permanent reserved slip from the waiting lists shall be made year round by the Harbormaster based on the slip size available and the most senior name on the waiting list for that size slip. There is a fee of THIRTY ONE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS($31.50)per year per listing on the waiting list(s)for a permanent reserved slip assignment. The wait list year runs November I through October 31. (c) anent Reserved Slip Assignments Port and Commerce Advisory Board RESOLUTION 2014-003 (1) The Harbormaster may assign a specific slip on the City of Seward float system within the Small Boat Harbor to a particular vessel on an annual basis. (2) A permanent reserved slip assignment to a vessel is not a lease or right to occupy a particular slip and may not be assigned. (3) To maximize the use of the Small Boat Harbor, a permanently reserved assigned slip may be assigned to a transient vessel when the permanently reserved assigned owner/vessel is out of the harbor. (4) Upon the return of the permanently reserved assigned vessel to the Small Boat Harbor(provided proper notifications are given and based on harbor congestion and the difficulties involved in moving vessels), the Harbormaster will attempt to rearrange vessels so that a vessel with a permanent reserved slip assignment may berth at that assigned slip. (5) A vessel assigned a permanent reserved slip assignment must notify the Harbormaster when departing the harbor for more than five (5) days. If away from Seward for more than five(5) days, a permanently reserved assigned vessel should notify the Harbormaster of its intended arrival date and time back into the Small Boat Harbor. (d) Grace Period for Late Renewals.A permanent reserved slip holder who fails to renew by December 31 may renew prior to January 15 rather than relinquish the slip, provided that (1) all other permanent reserved moorage requirements are met,and the applicable transient rate is paid on or before January 15. (e) New permanent Reserved Slip Assignment. For a new permanent reserved slip moorage agreement entered into after January 1,the following rules and charges apply: (1) If the customer has already paid for transient moorage,the customer charges will be converted from transient charges to reserved tenant charges on the effective date of the slip assignment. The reserved tenant annual moorage fee shall be charged on a pro-rated basis and is due in full on the date of the slip assignment. (2) If the customer is new to the harbor and has not paid any moorage fees, the reserved annual moorage fee shall be charged on a prorated basis and is due in full on the date of the slip assignment. (3) As stated in paragraphs(e)(1)and(2)above,pro-rated basis shall be calculated by dividing the annual moorage amount by 12,and charging the new tenant 1/12t of the reserved annual tenant moorage rate per calendar month for the remainder of the calendar year. If a slip assignment occurs during a calendar month,the partial month will be charged the lesser of the daily rate or 1/12th the annual amount. (f) Permanent Reserved and Temporary (Transient) Slip Assignments. There are two types of slip assignments at the City of Seward Small Boat Harbor. The first is a permanently reserved assigned slip and the second is a transient slip. Reserved sSlips that are permanently-assigned to a boat/owner may be used for transient moorage when the permanently reserved assigned vessel is away from the slip. (g) Notice Upon Arrival. All vessels should notify the Seward Small Boat Harbor office prior to arrival. Those vessels which have received permanently reserved assigned slips should notify the 1 b Port and Commerce Advisory Board RESOLUTION 2014-003 Harbormaster's office twenty-four(24)hours prior to expected arrival to allow the harbor staff time to free the slip. If,despite reasonable efforts,the Harbormaster is unable to clear a peananently reserved assigned slip due to congestion, high winds or safety considerations, a vessel with a peed reserved assigned slip may be required to temporarily use a transient slip or float as directed by the Harbormaster. Vessels entering the Small Boat Harbor which have not,for any reason,received a berthing assignment by radio contact or otherwise shall be restricted to the following areas:west side of X float;south side of F float;L float;Rfloat; I dock; and T dock. If, as is frequently the case during periods of congestion, all of the above berths are full, a vessel is permitted to raft to a vessel already berthed. (h) Vessel Registration.All vessels must have a current registration form(Application and Agreement for Transient Moorage)on file with the Harbormaster.These forms must be filed immediately upon arrival at the Small Boat Harbor. However, vessels that arrive after normal Harbormaster office hours must register before 10:00 a.m.the following day. 205 MOORAGE RATES (a) Calculation of Moorage Rates. Moorage charges shall commence when a vessel is made fast to a wharf, pier or other facility, or when a vessel is moored to another vessel so berthed ("rafting"). Charges shall continue until such vessel is completely freed from and has vacated the berth. A vessel berthed at any time between 12:01 a.m. and midnight shall be charged a full day's charge.; provided "mot ` e The Harbormaster may, in his sole discretion •. . - ..- .. . ... .. advanse-noticer waive a daily charge rate for a vessel,provided that: (1) Notice is made in writing prior to mooring in the Seward Boat Harbor, (2) Vessel stay is no more than 4 hours, and (3) Harbormaster determines that congestion and use of the public facilities by others will not be adversely affected. The City of Seward retains the right,in its sole discretion,to determine whether a vessel berthed at any time will be charged a full day's charge. Moorage charges shall be calculated on the overall length of the vessel or the length of the float(slip) assigned,whichever is greater. (b) Automatic Annual Adjustment in Moorage Rates.All moorage rates shall be adjusted annually so as to be effective as of January 1st, to reflect the five previous published years' average increase in the Consumer Price Index,All Items, 1982-84=100 for all Urban Consumers,Anchorage,Alaska("CPI") as published by the United States Department of Labor,Bureau of Labor Statistics.Bills sent out prior to January 1st will reflect the upcoming January 1st adjusted rates.(For example,2014 rates reflect an increase based on the average CPI for 2007-2011). Overall length shall be construed to mean the linear distance,expressed in feet,from the most forward point at the stem to the aftermost part of the stern of the vessel,measured parallel to the base line of the vessel. The length shall include all hull attachments,such as bowsprits, dinghies,davits,etc. 11 Port and Commerce Advisory Board RESOLUTION 2014-003 For billing purposes,overall length of the vessel as published in"Lloyd's Register of Shipping"may be used. The City of Seward reserves the right to: (1) Obtain the overall length from the vessel's register,or (2) Measure the vessel. (c) Transient(Guest)Daily Rates.With the exception of vessel owner/operators who have paid an annual, semi-annual,or monthly fee in advance,all temporary or transient moorage charges shall be calculated on the daily rate. The daily rate shall be $0.70 per lineal foot of overall length of the vessel. (See Appendix A for a listing of Transient Moorage Rates according to vessel length): (21) Transient(Guest)Annual Rate.The Annual Rate shall be$52.23 per lineal foot.

The Building Department was also present to provide information and assistance on the building code requirements. The Commission determined the current City code to be excessive and too restrictive in requiring a Conditional Use Permit for Storage Containers and Temporary Structures when a building permit was also required. The recommendation is to remove the Condition Use Permit requirement. The Commission has recommended several changes and updates to SCC§15.10.140 Definitions and §15.10.225 Land Uses Allowed. At the March 3, 2014 meeting the Commission held the required Public Hearing and approved Resolution 2014-02 recommending the Council approve the attached Ordinance. The change restores in 93 Temporary Structures, the required removal language eliminated in Ordinance 2011-004 revised.

No public comments had been received regarding the proposed changes to the Seward City Code. Notice of public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. Bob Reisner, a resident outside the city, said he was speaking on behalf of a handful of residents of the city. There was an interest in painting murals on railroad cars placed near Airport Road and the Seward Highway, which could encourage owners of storage containers to make improvements. Reisner also said that the expense of a permanent structure might be too great for many property owners and business owners. Many shipping containers were outside of the city, but the appearance of the containers that were being used should be addressed,he said. Motion (Edgar/Coulter) Approve Resolution 2014-02 Edgar said he was not familiar with the history of the proposed Code change, but said he would be able to better understand issues in the future through his participation in work sessions and hearing public comment. Shaffer asked staff to explain the Land Uses Allowed Table and the proposed amendments. Glenz noted the zoning districts where the placement of storage containers was allowed, and the permitting required. She noted a Conditional Use Permit was an excessive requirement when a Building Permit was also required. Ecklund pointed out that the Land Uses Allowed Table was recently reviewed, but some issues remained with the use of containers for storage and the minimum setback required.

Agenda Statement e of sett, 4CMeeting Date: 14 April 2014 To: City Council Through: Jim Hunt, City Manager From: Edward Athey, Fire Chief Agenda Item: Acceptance of reallocated and additional HSGP funds for the purchase of portable radios for the Seward Fire Department BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: The Seward Fire Department utilizes radios for day to day as well as emergency communications. In May of 2013, we learned that production and customer support of certain models of mobile and portable radios was being discontinued. We have also been advised to expect a notice of discontinuation for production and customer support with reference to our remaining radios. In an effort to be proactive and transition our inventory to a currently supported model we have examined a new model of radio. These new radios range in price from$4,000 to$8,000 depending on options and programming. The goal is to transition to a currently supported model, while not only maintaining our current functionality but perhaps increasing it. The new radios we are exploring have been in use by a variety of emergency response organizations throughout our State and have received very positive reviews. One of the best features of these new radios is that they are waterproof! This is a highly desirable feature for our port community. We applied for reallocated Homeland Security Grant Program(HSGP)funds in the amount of$8,160 (funding not used for Alaska Shield Exercise), and were given those funds as well as an additional $33,145, for a total amount of$41,305 to purchase new portable radios for the Fire Department officers. INTENT: To accept reallocated and additional HSGP funds for the purchase of new radios thereby enhancing our mission of providing interoperable communications to our emergency responders.

The City did not utilize the Alaska Shield funding and instead,requested the funding be reallocated for the purchase of additional radios for emergency response. The granting agency has allowed the reallocation of$8,160 plus has awarded an additional $33,145 to the City for a total of$41,305 for the purchase of radio equipment.

Provide a brief project description and explain why this project is important to the community? If project Includes equipment it must include the Authorized Equipment List(AEL)number from the Responder Knowledge Base(RKB). Interoperable communications is an ongoing project.Our department is now short on portable radios for our volunteer emergency responders .Our current. Motorola XIS 5000 radios, used by our officers are no longer available for purchase. Support for these radios is limited and will only be effective for a limited time Our XIS 2500 radios will be available for purchase for a short time before they will also be discontinued. We are in desperate need of additional portable radios for our volunteers.We have members without radios at this time Needless to say, we have no cached radios for emergency use either. Our annual budget takes into account repairs and maintenance and minimal replacement.The last radios we sent out for repair had a bill of$500 each Replacement of a single radio runs$3500 to$4500 depending on model and features added. We have been planning to purchase two Motorola XIS 2500 radios, but for the same price we could upgrade to the newer version of Motorola APX radios. Our best case scenario would be to purchase the newer radios and assign them to the officers. The radios that would then be freed up by the officers would be assigned to the newer volunteers. This addition of radios would equip all of our volunteer emergency responders with interoperable communications equipment. We work with 4 other volunteer emergency response departments as well as the local medical center and radio communications is critical to the core operation of our department Radio communication is how our emergency responders are notified of a call out and given information on what and where. Without proper communication equipment,our community is at risk. We would gladly accept any portion of this request. Any radio equipment would help us reach our goal of putting a radio in the hands of all of our emergency responders.The pricing reflecting in this request is WSCA•rates. 06CP-01-PORT 6 each APX6000 RADIOS @ $4767.50 Each Total$28,605.00 06CP-01-PORT 4 each APX4000 RADIOS 0 $3175.00 Each Total$12,700.00 Total for 10 radios to equip all of the Seward Fire Department Officers is$41,305.00 2. Please explain how the community plans to complete this project in a timely manner? Any grant funds the City, of Seward receives must go before City Council for acceptance. The Council meets twice a month and items for the agenda must be in two weeks in advance of the meeting. This process can easily,take 30 days to complete.We have been advised that turnaround time for a radio order such as our request would take 3 to 4 weeks from the time we order to the time we receive the radios for use We are familiar with our radio equipment needs to be interoperable with the surrounding agencies and we have a solid working relationship with the vendor. The pricing is WSCA so the need for bid collection would not be necessary. Our radio purchase would be ready to process once funding is approved. 3. If approved, can the jurisdiction accept the grant award within 30 days?Yes 4. If no, provide explanation. Grant funds acceptance must go to Seward City Council for approval. If timing is good, this should be accomplished within the 30day. If not it will go slightly longer. Jurisdiction Point of Contact: 1. Name: Edward Athey, Fire Chief City of Seward 2.

At the same meeting, the assembly also moved $30,000 in supplement funding to the Bear Creek Fire Service Area for fuel,utilities,and operating expenses for the new building because they were opening sooner than expected.As well, Ordinance 2014-06 was defeated which would have shortened the period of time between introduction and public hearing from 25 days to 13 days.
