COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting Date: February 9, 2004
Through: Phil Shealy, City Manager
From: Harbormaster, James B. Beckham
Agenda Item: Amending the Port and Harbor Tariff, Decreasing
Dockage Rates at the Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC).
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Since its inception, SMIC has had a different rate than the Seward Small Boat Harbor for dockage.
This rate was established to encourage loading unloading activities and specifically to discourage long
term moorage and congestion of the facility. The Port and Commerce Advisory Board (PACAB)
discussed this rate and found it to be unfair to users of that facility when compared to users of the
small boat harbor facilities. PACAB recommended restructuring the dockage rate from $1.00 per
foot of length per day to $.41 per foot of length per day.

2. Strategic Plan ____
3. Other: SMIC Management Plan __
FISCAL NOTE:
Since the SMIC deficit is funded by the General Fund, every dollar reduced in revenue or potential
revenue directly impacts the taxpayer by a related amount. That is, if the deficit is further
compounded by reduction in fees charged, that increase in deficit spending is funded by the General
Fund and tax dollars. The PACAB discussed this and felt the benefits of correcting the perceived
inequity were of a higher priority.
Approved by Finance Department
RECOMMENDATION:
Council approves Resolution 2004-15, amending the Port and Harbor Tariff, Decreasing Dockage
Rates at the SMIC.
