Beckham Agenda Item: Approving Phase I of the Seward Small Boat Harbor Planning and Development Guide (Guide) and Preliminary Project Budget BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: The City of Seward has long pursued the expansion of the Small Boat Harbor. In 1998, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, (USACE) completed a Feasibility Study and an Environmental Assessment for the project. The Feasibility Study was favorable and the project was approved in FY1999. The Project failed to gain federal funding until FY2002. Additionally, the City sought, and received, $2.9 million in matching funds from the State of Alaska, Department of Transportation and Public Facilities in 2000 and a $1.3 million Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration Grant in 2001. The remainder of the federal funds was appropriated in 2003 and the USACE has awarded the construction contract to Wilder Construction on February 3, 2004. On August 26, 2002, the City of Seward City Council approved Resolution 2002-082 for Public Involvement and Schematic Design Services for the East Harbor Expansion Project. The City th Council approved Resolution 2002-119 on November 18, 2002, adding a “master plan” component to the existing contract. This plan was to further refine the January 2000 Preliminary Design Study Report, which looked at many alternatives, layouts and materials for the harbor capital projects. After a lengthy and comprehensive public involvement process, Plan N, Revision-1, was reviewed and recommended by Port and Commerce Advisory Board (PACAB) Resolution 2003-01. A few minor changes in dock alignment resulted in Plan N, Revision-2, which the City Council adopted on April 28, 2003 by Resolution 2003-32. The complete Seward Small Boat Harbor Planning and Development Guide (Guide), with Plan N, Revision-2, was completed in June 2003. Its purpose is to serve as a road map for future harbor area development. This Guide was adopted on August 11, 2003 by City Council Resolution 2003-84. In October 2003, the City Council approved Engineering and Designs Services with Tryck Nyman Hayes, Incorporated for the inner harbor improvements component of the federal East Harbor Expansion Project. Using the recently adopted Guide, a preliminary (50%) schematic design and layout has been completed and presented to the PACAB. By PACAB Resolution 2004-05, the layout and preliminary project budget was forwarded to the City Council recommending approval. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No 1. Comprehensive Plan X Economic Development, Small Boat Harbor Development: expand and maximize potential of the existing harbor. Transportation Facilities, Harbors: Continue to support, promote, enhance and develop harbor facilities… 2. Strategic Plan X_ Economic Base ,Improve and Expand Maritime Facilities: complete eastward expansion of the Small Boat Harbor 3. Other: Small Boat Harbor Management Plan X Harbor Development, New Harbor Development and Expansion: …expand the existing harbor… FISCAL NOTE: Total funds required for the federal match and inner harbor improvements are estimated to be $7.5 million. With a revenue bond and proposed contributions from other funds, the total funds available now are $6.7 million, leaving a deficit of $.8million for a fully funded project. The City is actively seeking additional funds from federal and state sources. This project will add approximately 106 slip and generate $175,000 additional annual revenue for the Small Boat Harbor. Approved by Finance Department RECOMMENDATION: Council approve Resolution 2004-19, approving Phase I of the Seward Small Boat Harbor Planning and Development Guide (Guide) and Preliminary Project Budget. Agenda Statement Meeting Date: March 8, 2004 To: Mayor, City Council From: Jean Lewis, City Clerk Agenda Item: Motion for Reconsideration BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: Council member Dunham filed a written notice of intent to reconsider Resolution 2004-19 on February 24, 2004 before 5:00 pm. Mr. Dunham voted on the prevailing side, per our code his written notice of intent was timely, and Resolution 2004-19 did not fall in the categories of motions that could not be reconsidered. First, the motion for reconsideration would have to be moved by Mr. Dunham because he filed the intent, must have a second before debate on the motion for reconsider can be discussed. It would then need a 2/3 vote from council to pass. That is 5 of 7 members present, or 4 of 6 members present. If the motion for reconsider passes, then the motion on the table for discussion becomes Resolution 2004-19, in the same form again. If the motion for reconsider does not receive a second, or does not receive a 2/3 vote, it fails and you move on with the agenda. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No 1. Comprehensive Plan ___ ___ 2.
