Reconciliation oftheChange inFund Balances ofGovernmental Funds
toStatement ofActivities
Year Ended December 31, 2016
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds$ 473,365
The change in net position reported for governmental activities in the
Statement of Activities is different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However
on the Statement of Activities, depreciation expense is recognized to
allocate the cost of these items over their estimated useful lives.
This is the amount by which depreciation of $2,403,145 exceeded
capital outlays of $1,239,299. (1,163,846)
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current
financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds. This
is the increase in other long-term assets. (2,606)
Issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to
governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of the
long-term debt consumes financial resources in governmental funds.
In addition, interest on long-term debt is not recognized under the
modified accrual basis of accounting until due, rather than as it accrues.
This adjustment combines the net change in these balances:
Accrued interest payable$ 1,584
Amortization of bond premium 10,827
Principal payments on long-term debt 95,000
107,411
Certain changes connected with the net pension liability are deferred and
amortized over time. This is the overall change in the net pension liability and
related deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources. (1,556,707)
An internal service fund is used by the City to charge the cost of
vehicles and heavy equipment to individual funds. A portion of the
net revenue of these activities is reported with governmental activities. 113,260

1. SummaryofSignificant Accounting Policies
Reporting Entity
TheCityofSeward, Alaska (theCity) was incorporated June1, 1912 asahome-rulecityandoperates
underaCouncil-Manager form ofgovernment. TheCityprovides thefullrange ofmunicipal services
asprovided forbyAlaska Statute. This includes police andfireprotection, electric, water and
wastewater services, library, parks andrecreation, public improvements, planning andzoning, port
andharbor, hospital andlong-term care, andgeneral administrative services.
Theaccompanying financial statements present the CityofSeward. In 2011the City adopted the
provisions ofGASB Statement number 61, The Financial Reporting Entity: Ombnibus. Inconnection
therewith, the City reviewed itslegal andcontractual arrangements with theProvidence Seward
Medical Center which waspreviously reported asadiscreetly presented component unit, and
determined that, forfinancial reporting purposes inaccordance withgenerally accepted accounting
principles, thisactivity isappropriately recorded asanenterprise fund oftheCity. In2013, theCity
entered intoacontractual agreement with anon-profit organization asco-signees toafederally
funded health clinic program. The non-profit organization islegally separate anddoes notmeet the
criteriaunder GASB 61forinclusion asacomponent unit. However, many activities associated with
theclinic arereported in theSCHC Special Revenue Fund astheCityisthenamed grantee onthe
primary operating grant.
Thehospital andlong-term carefacilities (thePSMCC) areowned bytheCity ofSeward. The
facilities aremanaged byProvidence Health & Services – Washington, anonprofit corporation (the
Corporation), underamanagement andoperating agreement. Underthe operating agreement, the
Corporation isresponsible fordaytodaymanagement ofthehospital andlong-termcarefacilities in
exchange foramanagement fee. Allfinancial risks andrewards from theoperations ofthehospital
andlong-term care facilities accrue to theCity. TheCity isresponsible fordebt obligations,
including payment of revenue bonds through revenues generated atthePSMCC. TheCity pays forall
capital costs of thehealthcare facilities andislegallyobligated tofinance potential deficits.
Government-WideandFundFinancial Statements
Theaccounting policies of theCityconform toaccounting principles generally accepted intheUnited
StatesofAmerica asapplicable togovernments. Thefollowing isasummary ofthemore significant
policies:
Thegovernment-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement ofnet position andthestatement of
activities) reportinformation onallofthenonfiduciary activities oftheprimary government. In
general, theeffect ofinterfund activity hasbeen removed from these statements tominimize the
double-counting of internal activities. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by
taxes andintergovernmental revenues, arereported separately from business-typeactivities, which
rely primarily onfeesandcharges toexternal parties.
The statement ofactivities demonstrates thedegree towhich thedirect expenses ofagiven function
or segment are offset byprogram revenues. Direct expenses arethose thatare clearly identifiable
with aspecific function orsegment. Program revenues include 1) fees, fines andcharges to
customers or applicants whopurchase, use, ordirectly benefit from goods, services, or privileges
provided byagiven function orsegment and 2) grants andcontributions thatarerestricted to
meeting theoperational orcapital requirements ofaparticular function orsegment. Taxes,
investment income andother items notproperly included among program revenues arereported
insteadas generalrevenues.
32
City of Seward, Alaska
Notes toBasic Financial Statements
Separate financial statements are provided forgovernmental funds, proprietary funds, andfiduciary
funds, even though thelatterareexcluded from thegovernment-wide financial statements. Major
individual governmental funds andmajor individual enterprise funds arereported asseparate
columns inthefundfinancial statements.
Measurement Focus, BasisofAccounting andFinancial Statement Presentation
Thegovernment-wide andproprietary fund financial statements are reported using theeconomic
resources measurement focusandtheaccrual basisofaccounting. Revenues arerecorded when
earned and expenses arerecorded when aliability isincurred, regardless ofthe timing oftherelated
cash flows. Property taxes arerecognized asrevenues intheyearforwhich theyare levied. Grants
andsimilar items arerecognized asrevenue assoon as alleligibility requirements imposed bythe
provider have beenmet. The Fiduciary Fund alsousestheaccrual basis ofaccounting.
Governmental fund financial statements arereported using the current financial resources
measurement focus andthemodified accrualbasisofaccounting. Revenues arerecognized assoon
astheyarebothmeasurable andavailable. Revenues areconsidered tobe availablewhen they are
collectible within thecurrent period orsoon enough thereafter topayliabilities ofthecurrent
period. Forthispurpose, the Cityconsiders allrevenues, except reimbursement grants, to be
available iftheyare collected within 60days after yearend. Reimbursement grants areconsidered
available iftheyarecollected within one yearofthe endofthe current fiscal period. Expenditures
generally arerecorded when aliability isincurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt
service expenditures, aswell asexpenditures related tocompensated absences arerecorded onlyto
theextent theyhave matured.
Property taxes, sales taxes, charges forservices, andinterest associated with thecurrent fiscal
period areallconsidered tobesusceptible toaccrual andsohave beenrecognized asrevenues ofthe
current fiscal period. Only theportion ofspecial assessments receivable duewithin thecurrent fiscal
period isconsidered tobe susceptible to accrual asrevenue inthecurrent period. Most other
revenue items areconsidered tobemeasurable andavailable only whenreceived by thegovernment.
TheCityreports thefollowing major funds based onthe required quantitative criteria:
Major Governmental Funds:
TheGeneral Fundisthegovernment’sprimary operating fund. Itaccounts forall financial
resources ofthegeneral government, except thoserequired tobereported inanother fund.
Major Proprietary Funds:
TheElectric Enterprise Fund accounts forallactivities related totheoperation oftheCity’s
electric utility.
TheHarbor Enterprise Fundaccounts forthemarine-related activities of theCity’sharbor.
TheSeward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC) Enterprise Fund accounts formarine-related services
ontheeast sideof Resurrection Bay.
TheHealthcare Facilities Enterprise Fundaccounts forthehealthcare facilities, local hospital
andlong-term care facilities.
33
City of Seward, Alaska
Notes toBasic Financial Statements
TheCityalsoreports twoInternal Service Funds which account fortheactivities relating totheCity’s
motorpoolactivities andcompensated absences ofthegovernmental funds. TheMotor PoolInternal
Service Fund reports revenues charged totheother funds based onrental feesandcapital lease
payments designed tocover thecost ofthelease payments andtofund depreciation. The
Compensated Annual Leave Internal Service Fund accounts fortheaccrual andpayment of
compensated absences ofthegovernmental activities.
Inaddition, theCitymaintains and reports onasinglefiduciary fund. Thisfundrecords cashheldina
fiduciary capacity onbehalfofthelocal teencouncil.
Asageneral ruletheeffect of interfund activity hasbeen eliminated from thegovernment-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to thisgeneral rule areallocated administration feesandcharges
between theenterprise funds andthevarious otherfunds anddepartments. Elimination ofthese
charges would distort the direct costs andprogram revenues reported for thevarious functions
concerned.
Amounts reported asprogram revenues include 1) charges to customers orapplicants forgoods,
services, orprivileges provided, 2) operating grants andcontributions, and3) capital grants and
contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources arereported asgeneral
revenues rather than as program revenues. Inaddition, general revenues include alltaxes,
investment income, andState ofAlaska entitlement revenues.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues andexpenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues andexpenses generally result from providing services andproducing anddelivering goodsin
connection with aproprietary fund’sprincipal ongoing operations. Operating expenses forthe
proprietary funds include thecosts ofsales and services, administrative expenses anddepreciation on
capital assets. Allrevenues andexpenses notmeeting thisdefinition arereported asnonoperating
revenues andexpenses.
PriorYears Amounts
Incertain schedules, prior year amounts have been presented forcomparison purposes. Some
amounts reported fortheprior yearhave been reclassified toconform tothecurrent year
presentation.
Central Treasury
Acentral treasury isused toaccount forthe City’scash andinvestments tomaximize investment
income. Investments arestated atfairvalue. Investment income isallocated among the funds
based ontheir respective cash balances.
CashandCashEquivalents
Forpurposes ofthestatement ofcash flows, theproprietary fundsconsider allcash and
investments tobecash andcash equivalents. Thecentral treasury, which holds cash and
investments, isused essentially asacash management pool byeach fund.
Inventory
Inventories arevalued at costingovernmental funds andatthelower ofcostormarket in the
proprietary funds. Cost isdetermined bythefirst-in, first-outmethod. Thecost isrecorded asan
expenditure orexpense at thetime individual inventory itemsare consumed (consumption
method).
34
City of Seward, Alaska
Notes toBasic Financial Statements
Prepaid Items
Certain payments tovendors reflect costs applicable tofuture accounting periods andare recorded
as prepaid items inboth government-wide andfundfinancial statements. Cost isrecorded asan
expenditure or expense astheprepayment isapplied (consumption method).
Receivables andPayables
Activity between funds thatarerepresentative oflending/borrowing arrangements outstanding atthe
endoftheyeararereferred toaseither “dueto / from other funds” (i.e., thecurrent portion of
interfund loans) or “advances to / from other funds” (i.e., thenoncurrent portion ofinterfund loans).
Allother outstanding balances between fundsare reported as “dueto / from other funds.” Any
residual balances outstanding between thegovernmental activities andbusiness-typeactivities are
reported inthegovernment-wide financial statements as “internal balances.”
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment andinfrastructure assets (e.g. roads and
similar items), arereported intheapplicable governmental or business-typeactivities columns inthe
government-widefinancial statements. Capital assets are defined bytheCity asassets with an
initial, individual costofmore than $2,500andanestimated useful lifeinexcess ofoneyear. Such
assets are recorded athistorical costorestimated historical cost ifpurchased orconstructed.
Donated capital assets arerecorded at estimated fairmarket valueat thedateofdonation. Inthe
case ofthe initial capitalization ofinfrastructure assets, theCity chose toinclude all such items,
regardless oftheir acquisition date.
Thecosts ofnormal maintenance and repairs thatdonotaddtothevalue of theasset or materially
extend theuseful lifeoftheassetarenotcapitalized.
Major outlays forcapital assets and improvements arecapitalized asprojects areconstructed.
Interest incurred during theconstruction phase ofcapital assets ofbusiness-typeactivities isincluded
as partofthecapitalized value oftheassets constructed.
Property, plant, andequipment oftheCity isdepreciated using thestraight-linemethod overthe
following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings and improvements 20-40 years
Infrastructure 10-50years
System infrastructure 20-50 years
Machinery and equipment 3-8 years
Improvements other than buildings 3-40 years
Accrued AnnualLeave
TheCityallows employees to accumulate earned butunused vacation andsick leavebenefits. All
accrued leave isaccrued when incurred inthegovernment-wide, proprietary fund, andgovernmental
fund financial statements. Accrued leave thatisearned inthegovernmental funds isaccounted for
intheCompensated Annual Leave Internal Service Fund.

Long-termDebt
Inthegovernment-wide andtheproprietary fundfinancial statements, long-term debt andother
long-term obligations arereported asliabilities intheapplicable governmental activities, business-
typeactivities, orproprietary fund typestatement ofnetposition. Bond premiums anddiscounts,
aredeferred and amortized overthe lifeofthe bondsusing thestraight-linemethod.
FundBalances
Inthefund financial statements, governmental funds report aggregate amounts forfive
classifications offund balances based on theconstraints imposed ontheuseofthese resources.
Thenonspendable fund balance classification includes amounts thatcannot bespent because they
areeither (a) not inspendable form—prepaid items or inventories; or (b) legally orcontractually
required tobemaintained intact.
Thespendable portion ofthefund balances comprises theremaining four classifications:
restricted, committed, assigned, andunassigned.
Restricted fund balance – This classification reflects theconstraints imposed onresources either
a) externally bycreditors, grantors, contributors, orlaws orregulations ofother governments; or
b) imposed bylawthrough constitutional provisions orenabling legislation.
Committed fund balance – These amounts canonly beused forspecific purposes pursuant to
constraints imposed byformal resolutions oftheCityCouncil—thegovernment’shighest level of
decision making authority. Thosecommitted amounts cannot beused foranyother purpose unless
theCityCouncil removes thespecified use, also through resolution. This classification also
includes contractual obligations tothe extent thatexisting resources inthefund have been
specifically committed forusein satisfying those contractual requirements.
Assigned fundbalance – This classification reflects theamounts constrained bytheCity’s “intent”
tobe usedforspecific purposes, butareneither restricted norcommitted. City Resolution 2009-
131delegates authority toassign fund balance totheCity Manager andtheFinance Director.
Assigned fundbalances, bydefault, include allremaining amounts (exceptnegative balances) that
arereported ingovernmental funds, other than theGeneral Fund, that arenotclassified as
nonspendable andareneither restricted norcommitted.
Unassigned fundbalance – This fund balance istheresidual classification fortheGeneral Fund. It
isalsoused toreport negative fund balances inother governmental funds.
When both restricted andunrestricted resources are available foruse, itistheCity’spolicy touse
externally restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources—committed, assigned, and
unassigned—inorder asneeded.
Encumbrances
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts andother commitments for
expenditures arerecorded inorder toreserve that portion oftheapplicable appropriation, is
employed asan extension of formal budgetary integration intheGeneral Fund during theyear.
However, itistheCity’spolicy tostop issuing purchase orders inearly December. Asaresult, there
arenooutstanding encumbrances atDecember 31, 2016. Outstanding purchase orders, ifany, at
December 31, arecancelled andnewones areissued inthesubsequent year.

City of Seward, Alaska
Notes toBasic Financial Statements
Unearned Grant Revenue
Amounts received from grantor agencies, which are restricted astouseandhave notbeen expended
forthe intended use, areshown asunearned revenue.
Grant andOther Intergovernmental Revenues
In applying themeasurable andavailable concepts togrants andintergovernmental revenues, the
legalandcontractual requirements ofthenumerous individual programs are usedasguidance. There
are, however, essentially two types oftheserevenues. Inone, monies must be expended onthe
specific purpose orproject before anyamounts areconsidered “earned”; therefore, revenues are
recognized based upon expenditures recorded. Intheother, monies arevirtually unrestricted asto
purpose of expenditure andareusually revocable only forfailure tocomply with prescribed
compliance requirements. These resources arereflected asrevenues atthetimeofreceipt orearlier
ifthemeasurable andavailable criteria aremet.
Pension Plan
With theexception ofcertainElectric Fund employees, substantially allother employees oftheCity
participate inthePublic Employees' Retirement System (PERS) administered bytheState ofAlaska.
Certain electric employees participate inthe International Brotherhood ofElectric Workers (IBEW)
Plan.
Property Taxes
Property taxesare liensonthe assessed value of taxable property as ofJanuary 1. Pursuant toAlaska
Statutes, theCityestablishes themillrateandtaxlevy onorbefore June 15. TheCity islocated
within theKenai Peninsula Borough, which actsastheCity’sagent inthebillingandcollection of
property taxes. Taxbillsfor one-halfofthetaxes aremailedprior toJuly 1andarepayable on
August 15; tax billsforthesecond-halfofthetaxes are mailed byOctober 1and arepayable on
November 15. City property taxrevenues are recognized in thefiscal yearinwhich they are
collectible andavailable (collected withinsixty days after year-end) to finance expenditures ofthe
fiscal year.
AtDecember 31, thedelinquent realandpersonal property taxes notcurrently available are
reflected asdeferred inflows ofthe General Fund.
2. Stewardship, Compliance, andAccountability
Budgetary Information
Anoperating budget isadopted eachfiscal year fortheGeneral Fundonthesame modified
accrual basis used toreflect actual revenues andexpenditures. Appropriations forthisfund lapse
at year-end tothe extentthat theyhave notbeen expended. Budgetary control isexercised atthe
department level. TheCity Manager isauthorized totransfer budget amounts between
departments within afund orbetween lineitemswithin departments, butCityCouncil approval is
required totransfer budget amounts between funds.

Notes toBasic Financial Statements
Allocation ofSalesTax Revenues
When theCitytransferred theoperations oftheHospital toProvidence Seward Medical andCare
Center onJuly 1, 1996, theCity agreed toallocate 1% ofthesales taxforthebenefit ofthe
Hospital. During construction, theallocated salestax wasusedtooffset losses andtransition
costs. Subsequent tocompletion oftheconstruction, theallocated sales tax hasbeen usedto
fund thedebtservice ontheHospital general obligation bonds. Upon maturity ofhospital bonds,
sales taxrevenues willbeused tofund healthcare capital andoperating costs, and debtservice on
long-term care facility bonds, ifnecessary. Allsales taxrevenue isrecorded intheGeneral Fund.
Theallocated portion isthen transferred totheHealthcare Facilities Enterprise Fund fordebt
service.
3. Cash andInvestments
TheCityofSeward maintains acentral treasury thatisavailable for usebyall funds. Each fund’s
portion ofthecentral treasury isdisplayed onthebalance sheet as “cash andinvestments” orin
thecaseof “negative cash,” isincluded in “duetoother funds.”
Investments
City statutes authorize theCity toinvest inobligations oftheU.S. Treasury and U.S. agencies,
bankers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements, commercial paper issuedbycorporations or
businesses andhaving thehighest rating ofanationally-recognized rating service andmaturing
within ninemonths, certificates ofdeposit insured byfederal depository insurance orsecured by
eligible collateral heldbyathird party inthe City’sname, andinvestments through theAlaska
Municipal League Investment Pool (AMLIP). TheCity’sinvestment policy doesnotspecify a
maximum investment maturity, buttheCitygenerally invests funds forlessthanthree years from
thedate ofpurchase. TheCityhascomplied withitsinvestment policy throughout theyear. The
City’sinvestments arerecorded atfairvalue.
TheAMLIP isanexternal investment poolwhichisrated AAAm forcredit riskpurposes. Alaska
Statute 37.23establishes regulatory oversight ofthePool. The lawsets forth numerous
requirements regarding authorized investments andreporting. Onamonthly basis the
investments inthePool arereviewed forfair value byanindependent pricing service. Thevalues
ofinvestments intheAML Pool areapproximately equal to fairvalue.

amended byGASB Statement 40, establishes categories asanindication of thelevel of custodial
riskinvolved intheinvestments. All oftheCity’sremaining investments areinthecategory of
least riskandinclude investments thatareinsured orregistered intheCity’sname, or securities
thatareheldbytheCity or itsagent intheCity’sname. Allof theUnited States treasury bills,
treasury notes, and United States agency securities areheldincustodial accounts inthe U.S. Bank
andBank ofNewYork Trust Departments andarerecorded intheCity’sname, inaccordance with
safekeeping agreements. U.S. Bank andBank of New York arenotcounter parties tosecurity
transactions.
Interest RateRisk
Thefair value oftheCity’sfixed-income investments fluctuate inresponse tochanges inmarket
interest rates. Increases inprevailing interest rates generally translate intodecreases infair
value ofthose investments. Fairvalues ofinterest rate-sensitive instruments maybe affected by
the creditworthiness of theissuer, prepayment options, relative values ofalternative investments,
theliquidity oftheinstrument, and othergeneral market conditions. TheCity manages interest
rateriskbyallocating specific percentages oftheportfolio over specified time periods, and
generally holds investments forlessthanfiveyears, which minimizes thesensitivity offairvalue
tochanges inmarket interest rates. TheCityhasno formal policy relating toaspecific deposit or
interest rate risk.

other detailed planinformation arealsoavailable onthiswebsite.
The Planprovides forretirement, death anddisability, andpost-employment health carebenefits.
There arethree tiers ofemployees, based onentry date. Forall tiers within theDefined Benefit
DB) plan, full retirement benefits aregenerally calculated using aformula comprised ofa
multiplier times theaverage monthly salary (AMS) times thenumber ofyears of service. The
multiplier isincreased atlongevity milestone markers formost employees. Police/Fireemployees
accrue benefits at anaccelerated rate. Thetiers withinthePlanestablish differing criteria
regarding normal retirement age, early retirement age, and thecriteria forcalculation ofAMS,
COLA adjustments, andother OPEB benefits. Acomplete benefit comparison chart isavailable at
thewebsite noted above.
The PERS DBPlanwasclosed tonewentrants effective June 30, 2006. Newemployees hired after
thatdateparticipate inthePERS Defined Contribution (DC) Plan described later inthese notes.
Historical Context and Special Funding Situation
InApril 2008, theAlaska Legislature passed legislation converting thepreviously existing PERSplan
from anagent-multiple employer plan toacost-sharing plan withaneffective dateofJuly 1,
2008. In connection with thisconversion, theStateof Alaska passed additional legislation which
statutorily capped theemployer contribution rate, established astatefunded “on-behalf”
contribution (subject tofunding availability), andrequired thatemployer contributions be
calculated against allPERS eligible wages, including wages paidtoparticipants ofthePERS Tier IV
defined contribution plan described later inthesenotes.
Alaska Statute 39.35.255requires theState of Alaska tocontribute tothePlan anamount such
that, when combined with theemployer contribution, issufficient topaythePlan’spast service
liability contribution rateasadopted bytheAlaska Retirement Management Board. Assuch, the
Plan isconsidered tobe inaspecial funding situation asdefined byGASB, andmanagement has
recorded allpension related liabilities, deferred inflows and outflows ofresources, anddisclosures
onthisbasis.
Itisimportant tonote thattheAlaska Legislature hasthepower and authority tochange the
aforementioned statute through thelegislative process.
The Cityrecords theseon-behalf contributions asrevenue andexpense/expenditures in thefund
financial statements.

Employee Contribution Rates
Regular employees arerequired tocontribute 6.75% oftheir annual covered salary. Police and
firefighters arerequired tocontribute 7.5% of their annual covered salary.
Employer andOther Contribution Rates
There areseveral contribution rates associated with the pension andhealthcare contributions and
relatedliabilities. These amounts arecalculated onanannual basis.
Employer Effective Rate: This isthecontractual employer pay-inrate. Under current legislation,
thisrateisstatutorily capped at22% ofeligible wages, subject toawage floor, andother termination
events. This 22% rateis calculated on allPERS participating wages, including those wages
attributable toemployees inthedefined contribution plan. Contributions derived from thedefined
contribution employees arereferred to astheDefined Benefit Unfunded Liability orDBUL
contribution.
ARMBoard Adopted Rate: This istherate formally adopted bythe Alaska Retirement
Management Board. This rateisactuarially determined andused tocalculate annual Plan funding
requirements, without regard to thestatutory ratecaportheGASB accounting rate. Effective
July 1, 2015, theLegislature requires theARM Boardto adopt employer contribution rates forpast
service liabilities using alevel percent ofpaymethod over aclosed 25year term which ends in
2039. This willresult inlower ARM Board Rates than previously adopted.
On-behalf Contribution Rate: This istheratepaid inbytheState asanon-behalfpayment under
thecurrent statute. The statute requires theState tocontribute, based onfunding availability,
anon-behalf amount equal tothedifference between theARM Board Rate andtheEmployer
Effective Rate. In2015, theStateLegislature appropriated aone-timecontribution tothePlan in
theamount of $1billion. As aresult, theon-behalf contribution in2015 wassignificantly higher
than thestatutory amount. In2016, theon-behalf contribution hasreturned to “normal” levels
andgenerally equals thestatutory calculation. Inthegovernmental fund financial statements,
on-behalf contribution amounts have beenrecognized asadditional revenues andexpenditures. In
theenterprise fundand government-wide financial statements, the on-behalf amounts reflect
revenue andexpense only during themeasurement period inwhich thePlanrecognizes the
payments, resulting inasignificant timing difference between thecash transfers andrevenue and
expense recognition.
GASBRate: This istherateused todetermine thelong-term pension andhealthcare liability for
planaccounting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as
established byGASB. Certain actuarial methods andassumptions forthis ratecalculation are
mandated byGASB. Additionally, theGASB Rate disregards allfuture Medicare PartDpayments.
ForFY16, therateusesan8% pension discount rate anda4.3% healthcare discount rate.
TheGASB Rate andtheARM BoardAdopted Rate differsignificantly asadirect result ofvariances
inthe actuarial methods andassumptions used.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Amounts received orreceivable from grantor agencies aresubject toaudit andadjustment by
grantor agencies, principally thestate andfederal government. Anydisallowed claims, including
anyamount already collected, could become aliability oftheapplicable funds.
TheCityof Seward istheowner ofthe Alaska Sealife Center (“Center”), which isoperated on the
City’sbehalf bytheSeward Association fortheAdvancement ofMarine Science (“SAAMS”). The
City isobligated toabide byprovisions of theCooperative Agreement (“Agreement”) between the
CityandtheState ofAlaskaDepartment ofFishandGame, which served asasignificant funding
source fortheconstruction oftheCenter. The City haspassed most ofits obligations for
operating theCenter ontoSAAMS through amanagement andoperating agreement (“Operating
Agreement”), buttheCity ultimately remains responsible toensure thatprovisions ofthe
Agreement with theState aremet. TheOperating Agreement requires, inpart, that SAAMS
maintain sufficient termination fund reserves toenable theCity to operate thefacility forupto
onefull yearintheevent SAAMS isunable tomeet its obligations under theOperating Agreement.
Theestimated costsofoperating theCenter forafull year arenoteasilymeasured based on
imprecise definitions oftherequirements, butcould approach $3million peryear. TheOperating
Agreement doesnotrequire SAAMS tomaintain that levelofreserves, andtotheextent their
termination fund reserve levels areinadequate, theCitywould beexpected tocover anyshortfall.
Should theCity berequired to cover anyshortfall, there could beamaterial adverse impact on
theGeneral Fund undesignated reserves.
Various other claims andlawsuits against theCity arepending, butare either covered by
insurance orare thetypes which arenormal andreasonable inview oftheCity’soperations. City
management believes thetotal amount oftheliability, ifany, which may arise from such claims
andlawsuits beyond thatwhich iscovered byinsurance would nothave amaterial effect onthe
City’sfinancial condition oritsability tocarry onitsactivities asnow conducted.

Independent Auditor'sReport onInternal Control Over Financial Reporting and
onCompliance and Other Matters Based onanAudit ofFinancial Statements
Performed inAccordance WithGovernment Auditing Standards
Honorable MayorandCityCouncil
Cityof Seward, Alaska
Wehave audited, inaccordance with theauditing standards generally accepted inthe United
States ofAmerica andthestandards applicable tofinancial audits contained inGovernment
Auditing Standards issued bytheComptroller General oftheUnited States, thefinancial
statements ofthegovernmental activities, thebusiness-typeactivities, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information ofCity ofSeward, Alaska, asof andfortheyear ended
December 31, 2016, andtherelated notes tothefinancial statements, which collectively comprise
CityofSeward’sbasicfinancial statements, andhave issued ourreport thereon dated August 28,
2017. Ourreport includes areference toother auditors whoaudited theoperating account ofthe
Providence Seward Medical andCare Center, asdescribed inourreport on City ofSeward’s
financial statements. Theoperating account ofProvidence Seward Medical andCare Centerwas
notaudited inaccordance withGovernment Auditing Standards, andaccordingly, thisreport does
notinclude reporting oninternal control over financial reporting orinstances ofreportable
noncompliance associated with theoperating account ofProvidence Seward Medical andCare
Center.
Internal Control OverFinancial Reporting
Inplanning andperforming ouraudit ofthefinancial statements, weconsidered City of
Seward’sinternal control over financial reporting (internal control) todetermine theaudit
procedures thatareappropriate in thecircumstances forthepurpose ofexpressing ouropinions
onthe financial statements, butnot forthepurpose ofexpressing an opinion onthe
effectiveness ofCityofSeward’sinternal control. Accordingly, we donotexpress anopinion on
theeffectiveness ofCityofSeward’sinternal control.
Adeficiency ininternal control exists when thedesign oroperation ofacontrol does notallow
management or employees, inthe normal course ofperforming their assigned functions, to
prevent, ordetectandcorrect, misstatements onatimely basis. A material weaknessisa
deficiency, oracombination ofdeficiencies, ininternal control, such thatthereisareasonable
possibility thatamaterial misstatement oftheentity’sfinancial statements willnotbe
prevented, ordetected andcorrected onatimelybasis. Asignificant deficiency isadeficiency,
oracombination ofdeficiencies, ininternal control that islesssevere than amaterial
weakness, yetimportant enough tomerit attention bythose charged with governance.
Our consideration ofinternal control was forthelimited purpose described inthefirst
paragraph ofthis section andwasnotdesigned toidentify alldeficiencies in internal control
that mightbematerial weaknesses orsignificant deficiencies. Given theselimitations, during
ouraudit wedid notidentify anydeficiencies ininternal control thatweconsider tobematerial
weaknesses. However material weaknesses may exist that have notbeen identified.

Compliance andOtherMatters

arefreefrom material misstatement, weperformed tests ofitscompliance with certain
provisions oflaws, regulations, contracts, andgrant agreements, noncompliance with which
could have adirectand material effect onthedetermination offinancial statement amounts.
However, providing anopinion oncompliance with thoseprovisions wasnotanobjective ofour
audit, andaccordingly, wedonotexpress such an opinion. The resultsofour testsdisclosed no
instances ofnoncompliance orother matters that arerequired tobereported under
Government AuditingStandards.
Purpose ofthisReport
Thepurpose ofthis report issolely todescribe thescope ofourtesting ofinternal control and
compliance andtheresults ofthat testing, andnottoprovide anopinion ontheeffectiveness of
theentity’sinternal control or oncompliance. This report isanintegral part ofanaudit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards inconsidering theentity’s
