Our Mission—To provide community resource information services relating to the orderly development of the community, to pro-
mote safety and public order, protect the public health and general welfare of the citizens of the community and to stimulate sys-
tematic development of transportation, public utilities, school, and other public facilities through implementation of Council and
Administration planning, zoning, historic preservation and City land management policies.
In November 1986, the Kenai Borough passed a Floodplain Management Ordinance. Development with-
in floodplains is subject to the Borough's floodplain management regulations. It is the responsibility of
Developers and Landowners to know the rules.
If you plan to build, rebuild, make substantial improvements to existing structures, or conduct excava-
tion or earthwork activities within a floodplain, a development permit is required per Kenai Peninsula
Borough Code Chapter 21.06 and the City of Seward Code Chapter 15.25. Some activities require a
permit to document the activity, but may not be specifically regulated.
FOR DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY OF SEWARD CONTACT THE COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AT 907-224-4048 TO SEE IF YOUR PROJECT WILL
REQUIRE A FLOODPLAIN PERMIT.
ACTIVITIES SUBJECT TO EXISTING FLOODPLAIN DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
Subdividing land within the floodplain
Building a residential or commercial structure
Garages, storage sheds, and like structures
Dredging, filling, mining and excavation Placement of manufactured home
Emergency System for Flood Awareness
Kenai Borough has the following programs to alert you to a flooding/emergency event.
C.A.N. Community Alert Network Two Mobile Sirens - Turn on your radio
FEMA - National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
Most homeowner's insurance policies do not cover loss from flooding.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting Date: April 8, 2019
To: Seward City Council
From: Council Member Suzi Towsley
Agenda Item: Ordinance 2018-008, Amending And Revising Seward City Code, Title 2,
2.05.030, Exemptions For Particular Records,
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Regular review and revision of Seward City Code is necessary to ensure that Seward City Code
remains relevant, continues to reflect the values of the citizens of Seward, and is in compliance
with Alaska statutes. Seward City Code, Title 2, Chapter 2.05 Records was originally adopted
decades ago and has been updated periodically, including minor revisions in 1988 and 1991.
In 2003, the Alaska Supreme Court said that access to public records is a “fundamental right”
(Fuller v. City of Homer) and that “exemptions” to the disclosure requirements of Alaska’s
public records laws are not favored and will be narrowly construed (Municipality of Anchorage
v. Anchorage Daily News, 794 p. 2d 584 1990).
Changes to Title 2.05 Records will bring the Seward City Code into alignment with Alaska
Statute 40.25.120. Public Records; Exceptions; Certified Copies which does not allow for payroll
database exemptions.
These proposed updates to Seward City Code Title 2, Administration, 2.05.030, “Exemptions for
particular records” promote openness and transparency in government by allowing public access
to payroll database information through the public records request process.
Council bringing Seward City Code into alignment with state law, while practicing openness by
allowing access to payroll/salary database information for public officials, helps to establish and
foster better trust between citizens and the City of Seward.
INTENT:
The intent of this Ordinance is to align Seward City Code with current interpretations of Alaska
Statute 40.25.120 Public Records; Exceptions; Certified Copies.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA, REPEALING 1975 ORDINANCE NO. 412 AND 1985
ORDINANCE NO. 540, AND AMENDING SEWARD CITY CODE
WHEREAS, in 1972, the Alaska Legislature passed the Alaska Public Employees
Relations Act (PERA), Section 4, Chapter 113, S.L.A. 112, providing a comprehensive system to
govern public labor relations; and
WHEREAS, the City of Seward opted out of PERA in Ordinance 412 (1975) pursuant to
the enabling language of the Act; and
WHEREAS, in 1985, the Seward City Council passed Ord. 1985-540, reaffirming the
City’s exemption from PERA (and the reasons therefore) and creating five new Code provisions
governing collective bargaining in the City of Seward; and
WHEREAS, the results of the March 19, 2019 special election were certified by this
body on March 26, 2019; and
WHEREAS, Referendum Number 1 repealing Ordinance 412 was approved by a
majority of the voters participating in the election.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA HEREBY ORDAINS that:
Section 1. Seward City Ordinance 412 (1975) is hereby repealed, and Ordinance 1985-
540 is repealed to the extent it conflicts with PERA. Labor relations of the City will be subject
to the Alaska Public Employees Relations Act (PERA), Chapter 113, S.L.A. 112, and the
accompanying regulations.
Section 2. Seward City Code Section 3.60.035 is hereby amended as follows:
(Deletions are Bold Strikethroughs; Additions are Bold Italics.)
3.60.035. – Special Provisions
No city employee shall have the right to strike. A strike is defined as a concerted
failure to report for duty, a willful absence from work, a stoppage of work, or an
abstinence from the full and proper performance of duties for the purpose of inducing

or coercing a change in working conditions or compensation. The term strike includes
any refusal to perform regular duties while other city employees, or any other persons,
are engaged in picketing or any other work stoppage, slowdown or refusal.

Section 3. Seward City Code Section 3.65 Collective Bargaining is hereby amended as
follows:
(Deletions are Bold Strikethroughs; Additions are Bold Italics.)

contract by the city council as provided in section 3.65.015, each city employee included
within the bargaining unit shall indicate whether that person wishes to be governed by the
terms and conditions contained in that agreement. If not, then the employee shall continue to
be subject to this personnel code and regulations and pay plan as they exist and may be
amended or changed. Neither the city nor any city employee shall discriminate against any
employee solely by reasons of that employee's exercise of this right to choose, although
differences between terms and conditions of employment set forth in the city personnel code
and those terms and conditions set forth in a collectively bargained agreement that result in
differential treatment will not be a violation of this title. Each new employee likewise shall
have the right to choose between the personnel code and any collectively bargained
agreement after being offered a position, but before beginning work.
(Ord. 540, § 3(part), 1985)
3.65.015. - Submission of collective bargaining agreements to the city council.
Any collectively bargained agreement is subject to approval by the city council.
(Ord. 540, § 3(part), 1985)

construction of a public project that requires the contracting or subcontracting of work
traditionally performed by employees represented by that labor organization to be performed
by a signatory to a current labor agreement with that labor organization.
(Ord. 634, 1990)
27
CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
ORDINANCE 2019-009
________________________

Section 4. This ordinance shall take effect ten (10) days following its enactment.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA,
REJECTING THE APPLICATION OF THE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS
ACT TO THE CITY OF SEWARD.
WHEREAS, Section 4, Chapter 113, S.L.A. 1972, provides that

its options open so that it can properly react in the future, and

CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
ORDINANCE NO. 540
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEWARD, ALASKA, CONCERNING COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
WITH CITY EMPLOYEES
WHEREAS, the City of Seward opted out of the State of Alaska
Public Employee Relations Act in 1975 by Ordinance No. 412, and has
again in 1985 rejected a request to become subject to the terms of that
Act, and intends to retain local control over labor relations while
granting limited rights to those employees who choose to be covered by a
collectively bargained agreement to affiliate together in a labor
organization and bargain with the City; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. 85-34 the City has permit-
ted an election among City employees for the purposes set forth in that
Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the results of that election were certified by the
City Council and the City had determined in Resolution No. 85- 34 that if
a majority of the City employees voted in favor of being represented by
the IBEW then the City Council would begin to make the required changes
in its ordinances and personnel regulations to permit collective bar-
gaining on behalf of those employees who choose to be covered by a
collective bargaining agreement, while protecting the rights of those
who do not choose to be covered by a collective bargaining agreement;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it in the public interest to
make the minimum changes necessary to its existing Personnel Ordinance
in order to preserve the stable atmosphere that has prevailed in the
City during the past years; and
WHEREAS, given the size of the City of Seward, its remote
geographical location and the dependence of the public on City services,
the City Council views all City employees as essential for the public
peace, health, safety and convenience; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is aware of the common law with
regard to the issue of whether public employees have the right to engage
in strikes or other concerted economic action and the City Council
wishes to codify those provisions and to also cover those areas which
might be in dispute among the various courts; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, as previously referenced in Resolu-
tion No. 85-34, does not intend to infringe on any individual's right to
join or not join a union or be subject to the terms of a collectively
bargained agreement, even though Federal or State statutes may provide
otherwise; and
1-
30
CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
ORDINANCE NO. 540
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to make known some of the
more important reasons for enacting changes to the Seward Code while not
being bound by only the reasons set forth below;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA, HEREBY ORDAINS that:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Seward, Alaska,
makes the following legislative determinations:
a. The City of Seward is remote geographical-
ly, and the City provides essential public services
including fire, police, sewer, water, snow removal,
street repair, electrical, and other services
critical to the public health, safety and con-
venience.
b. Granting public employees the right to
strike may be construed as granting employees the
right to deny the authority of the City of Seward,
and, as a home rule municipality, the City of Seward
desires its authority to be broadly construed.
c. A strike or work stoppage by public
employees is the equivalent to a rebellion against
the very existence of the government and is not to
be condoned or permitted.
d. Employees of the City of Seward, being
agents of the City and serving only public purposes,
are entirely different from employees in the private
sector and a strike by them would contravene the
public welfare and paralyze the City and endanger
the public health, safety and convenience.
e. Since the terms of employment of City
employees include economic obligations and commit-
ments which under the City of Seward Charter can
only be determined by the City Council, granting a
right to strike would, in effect, permit employees
to place undue pressure and influence on the City
Council in that the City Council would be prone to
accede to the demands of striking employees in order
to protect the public, while the concessions granted
in so doing may well also be against the public
interest insofar as they could affect the financial
well being of the City. Employees ought not be
permitted to put the City in such a dilemma.
f. Unlike private enterprise,
Seward does not perform its public
the City of
functions and
2-

ORDINANCE NO. 540
activities for profit
considerations may not
important considerations
to become the most
activity.
and thus purely economic
appropriately be the most
and should not be allowed
important through strike
g. The efficient operation of the City and
harmonious labor relations between the City and its
employees will best be served when each individual
employee has the maximum freedom possible to choose
individually whether to affiliate with other employ-
ees or a labor organization for the purpose of
collective bargaining.
h. The interests of the majority of the City
employees should not infringe on the interests of
the minority provided the interests of the minority
can be accommodated.
i. Because the City of Seward has a long-
standing set of personnel procedures and ordinances
which, for the most part, have resulted in stable
and harmonious labor relations, the public interest
would be best served by permitting each individual
employee the right to choose to continue to be
subject to the existing personnel policies and
procedures (as they may be amended), thus permitting
each employee the widest possible freedom to choose
while at the same time permitting those who wish to
collectively bargain the right to do so. The City
realizes that this approach could be construed as a
possible violation under Section 8(a)(1) of the
National Labor Relations Act, but also realizes, for
reasons set forth above, that the City has the right
to determine its own labor relations policies, and
has determined, as a legislative matter, that the
greatest freedom of choice for individual employees
serves the public interest best.
j. The City Council realizes its obligation
never to surrender the power of taxation as set
forth in the City Charter. The City Council deter-
mines that the accountability of the City Council to
the public can only be maintained if this power to
tax remains exclusively with the City Council.
Since the commitment of public monies in the form of
wages and working conditions can result in a tax
adjustment, the City Council determines that it is
essential that the City Council approve any collec-
tive bargaining agreement before it can become
effective. Because of the budget requirements set
3-
32
CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
ORDINANCE NO. 540
forth in the City Charter, and in order to preserve
the public's opportunity to be heard on the budget,
any collective bargaining agreement which would
result in a change in the amounts budgeted for City
employees must be concluded in time for the changes
to be included in the annual budget prior to the end
of the fiscal year.
k. The City Council also realizes that it
would be unrealistic to require collective bargain-
ing to conclude in the first year prior to the
required budget deadlines and therefore finds that
it would be permissible, for the budget year 1986
only, to review a collectively bargained agreement
which could result in changes in wages or working
conditions provided that such an agreement were to
be submitted prior to August I, 1985, and further,
that any changes in wages or working conditions
would not be retroactive.
L The City Council finds that due to the
annual budget process it would disrupt the orderly
operation of the City if collectively bargained
agreements were to expire at any time other than the
close of the fiscal year.
Section 2. Section 17-13.6 of the City of Seward Code is
added to read as follows:
Sec. 17-13.6 No right to strike. No City
employee shall have the right to strike. A strike
is defined as a concerted failure to report for
duty, a willful absence from work, a stoppage of
work, or an abstinence from the full and proper
performance of duties for the purpose of inducing or
coercing a change in working conditions or compen-
sation. The term strike includes any refusal to
perform regular duties while other City employees,
or any other persons, are engaged in picketing or
any other work stoppage, slowdown or refusal.
Section 3. A new Section 17-14 is hereby created and added to
the Seward City Code as follows:

solely by reasons of that employee's exercise of
this right to choose, although differences between
terms and conditions of employment set forth in the
City Personnel Code and those terms and conditions
set forth in a collectively bargained agreement that

City Council shall determine, in each instance, the
unit appropriate for purposes of collective bargain-
ing. In making its determination, the City Council
shall consider the avoidance of fragmented bargain-
ing units and any expressed desires of members of
the unit.
Section 4. This ordinance shall take effect 10 days following

Pat,
Here follows the specs for the transformers which we need to quote for Norm. The first part is the same for all of the
transformers. The second part is special for each and will be numbered.
“ Distribution transformer, 60 Hz, 3 phase, High Efficiency/Low Loss, ANSI Type 316 S/S case and door”
1. 750 kVA, 7200/120/240VAC
2. 750 kVA, 7200/120/208VAC
3. 750 kVA, 7200/277/480VAC
4. 1.0 MVA, 7200/120/240VAC
5. 1.0 MVA, 7200/120/208VAC
6. 1.0 MVA, 7200/277/480VAC
7. 1.5 MVA 7200/120/240VAC
8. 1.5 MVA, 7200/120/208VAC
9. 1.5 MVA, 7200/277/480VAC
Each of these will need three (3) quotes for purchasing. For comparison purposes, one (1) quote for each should be
sufficient. The crew prefers ABB transformers because they are consistently high quality. They are also consistently high
priced. I think Wesco handles them but I am not altogether sure about that.

The City Clerk solicited letters of interest from March 12 - 29, 2019. John French submitted a letter
of interest on March 18, 2019. Orson Smith submitted a letter of interest on March 22, 2019, and

March 28, 2019 Volume 40, Page 598
Council interviewed Erin Reinders.
Schedule a special meeting to select the candidate, select a negotiating committee, and go into
executive session to discuss negotiating strategies for the city manager hire.
Council scheduled a special meeting on Monday, April 1, 2019 at 6:00 p.m.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
McClure thought council had just heard from two very talented and well-qualified
candidates. She encouraged the public to give council feedback and input on the candidates.
Towsley looked forward to hearing from the public on the candidates, and thought there were
two excellent candidates.
Horn wanted feedback from the public.
Seese also wanted feedback from the public.
Lane was excited about the process, and was grateful for the candidates. She, too, welcomed
feedback from the public.
Squires thought both candidates were excellent choices, and he wanted the public to provide
input.
Acting City Manager Norm Regis reported that he received a letter from the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) regarding the Seward airport stating that they would be granting the
city a hearing with the FAA and the Alaska Department of Transportation (DOT).
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Lee Poleske was giving a talk tonight at 7:00 p.m. at the library about famous sled dogs.
Bruce Jaffa thought this was an interesting process, and both candidates were great and had
very different styles. He thought perhaps the questions were a little soft and polite; when the going
got tough, that’s when you learned about a person.
Melody Jordan appreciated having the interviews held in public; her gut told her the second
candidate was stronger.
Carol Griswold was pleased this process was public. She thought both candidates were
good, but she perked up with the second candidate. Griswold thought Reinders had a lot of real life
practical experience that would be beneficial to Seward.
99
City of Seward, Alaska City Council Special Meeting Minutes
March 28, 2019 Volume 40, Page 599
Lynda Paquette concurred with all the public comments so far; the size of the staff in
Unalaska, Paquette thought, gave Reinders an advantage. Paquette requested that the contract for city
manager maintain a normal severance package, and disallow having a second job or business.
Bruce Jaffa said he thought Reinders would be a strong candidate.
Matt Chase said the governor wanted to take away all the fish tax; he thought Reinders
would be familiar with this issue. Chase wondered if this concern could be addressed at the public
meet and greet tonight.
COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION RESPONSE TO CITIZEN COMMENTS
Towsley thanked Lynda Paquette for filming today’s meeting for Seward Civic Engagement.
Horn disliked the interview question which asked asking candidates for their strengths and
weaknesses.
Lane thanked Paquette for her input about the city manager contract.
Seese thanked everyone for their comments, and for attending the meeting.
Regis said Seward received approximately $422,035 each year in fish tax revenue; in
Unalaska, the fish tax was 28% of the budget.
Squires thought Seward’s budget would not be heavily impacted by the removal of the fish
tax, but he was greatly concerned about the millions of dollars being proposed to be removed from
the school district.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 4:49 p.m.

CITIZEN COMMENTS ON ANY SUBJECT EXCEPT THOSE ITEMS SCHEDULED FOR
PUBLIC HEARING
Skip Reierson said both city manager candidates were more than capable. He said he spoke
with both candidates about difficult Human Resources decisions that they had to make in the past
and they both had experienced these. He said Scott Meszaros had more city manager experience and
hospital experiences, which he was impressed by. Reierson said he saw Erin Reinders as young and
energetic and he felt like we would be taking a slight chance on her, which he wanted to do.
Patrick Messmer thought that both candidates were very good choices. He said he gave a
slight edge to Erin for being a current Alaskan resident.
Carol Griswold read a letter from Bruce Jaffa endorsing Erin Reinders as the new city
manager, which was presented as a laydown. Griswold said it was time for Seward to seize the
opportunity to have a highly qualified woman as city manager.
Lynda Paquette agreed that Erin Reinders would be a good choice for Seward. She
suggested council utilize Scott Meszaros’ grant writer experience and consider finding a position

NEW BUSINESS
Choose the candidate for the permanent city manager position.
Lane thanked council, the clerk’s office, and Steve Veitch with GovHR for arranging this
process. She felt that council had succeeded in having a more educated vote.
Squires wanted to thank both candidates for coming to Seward to go through the interview
process and meet with the public. He had concerns about both candidates and wished that he could
combine the strengths from both candidates into one.
Deputy City Clerk Jessica Fogle passed out Ballot #1 containing the names of the two city manager

The results of the first vote were:
Reinders 7

COUNCIL COMMENTS
McClure said that she voted with the public tonight. It was a hard decision but she hoped it
turned out well and the negotiations worked out. She thanked the public for attending the special
council meeting.
Towsley said this process took a lot of time but it was a very important decision that would
affect future councils. She was happy to cast her vote for Erin Reinders, who she thought would do a
102
City of Seward, Alaska City Council Special Meeting Minutes
April 1, 2019 Volume 40, Page great job. She wanted to keep Scott Meszaros in mind for any upper management positions that
become available in the future. She said Reinders’ Alaskan experience would serve Seward well.
Horn said this was the most important vote he had to make in his two years on council. He
was surprised that it was a unanimous vote and he felt like it could have gone either way. He thanked
everyone who participated in this process.
Seese said she voted for Reinders because she currently lived and worked in Alaska. She was
concerned that Meszaros’ family might not want to move to Alaska. She was surprised that it was a
unanimous vote.
Osenga apologized for not making it to the interviews but he said he watched them. He
thanked Lynda Paquette for videoing the council meetings and the interviews. He believed that
Reinder’s Alaskan ties and the citizen comments had a lot to do with the unanimous vote. He said
that he was originally looking at Scott Meszaros and it was a very close vote for him.
Lane said Erin Reinders’ emphasis on setting rules that are consistent with our community
values spoke to her skills in clarifying and creating strategic plans. She appreciated Reinders’
mention of looking to existing reports to gain information. She said Reinders’ experience in coastal
Alaska and her background in managing housing prepared her well for many of the challenges faced
in Seward. Lane said she struggled all weekend deciding how to vote and she cast her vote tonight
because of the public. She was excited and pleased with the outcome and hoped that Reinders would
agree to come to Seward. She thanked council for re-establishing the relationship with South Korea,
and she was excited to use this experience to honor Willard Dunham’s legacy.
Squires said he appreciated the comments he got from the citizens about the city manager
hire all weekend. He hoped everything worked out and he was glad that council and the citizens
made this decision together.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Skip Reierson congratulated council on their selection for city manager. He said this was a
turning point for this community and he looked forward to a fresh start. He reminded council that our
new city manager would succeed based on how well we let her do her job.
Matt Chase congratulated council on voting with the citizens as a team. He said we were
taking positive steps forward and he wished council luck on negotiations.
Lynda Paquette urged council not to wait too long to set up negotiations and reminded them
that other people want Reinders, too.
Kyle Walker asked for more detail on what would be discussed in executive session.
Anthony Baclaan thanked council and city administration for their time. He was very
excited about where we were headed and he was amazed that it was a unanimous vote.

City of Seward, Alaska City Council Special Meeting Minutes
April 1, 2019 Volume 40, Page COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION RESPONSE TO CITIZEN COMMENTS
Towsley said it was important to her that we did not end up with a giant severance packet and
she wanted a clear conflict of interest clause and a clause about outside employment included in the
new city manager contract. She said council would be discussing the negotiating strategies for the
new city manager in executive session.
Horn was glad that council was able to be transparent throughout this process. He agreed with
Reierson that it was time to have a clean slate for the new city manager and move forward in a
positive manner.
Lane said former Interim City Manager Jeff Bridges emphasized using the framework of
becoming a high performance organization the last time he spoke with council. She said that when
she spoke with Reinders about using that model, she seemed familiar and open to it. Lane was
excited about using this model.
Acting City Manager Norm Regis said he spent a lot of time with both candidates last week
and they were both great individuals. It was a hard decision. He said we came a long way from last
year and he wanted to start with trust with the new city manager.

negotiating strategies for the city manager
hire.

CITY PROJECTS & GOALS
April 8, 2019 City Council Meeting
PROJECTS & GOALS
1. ADA ACCESSIBLE PARKING AT CITY HALL
Council directed the city clerk to provide a history of why the location for municipal elections was
moved from City Hall to the K.M. Rae Building, as it related to ADA accessibility. City Clerk history and
status provided February 27, 2018. First floor restrooms currently under renovation to provide one
large ADA-accessible family restroom, in addition to one men’s and one women’s restroom. The first-
floor restrooms in City Hall were completed May 14, 2018. Fifth Avenue parking is not practical due to
challenges with grade and distance; Adams Street parking must be reserved for Police Department
access; Public Works is currently researching the feasibility of a modification to the SE corner of the
back lot, as well as modifications to second floor restrooms. Clerk’s office received ADA analysis kit
from Division of Elections (DOE); clerk worked with Public Works Director Doug Schoessler and
Assistant City Manager Brennan Hickok to perform the analysis on September 12, 2018. The city clerk
has furnished the DOE with results and is awaiting a response. Clerk received email from Acting
Director at DOE apologizing for the delay in the analysis; the new Director would start January 2,
2019, and response should come soon thereafter. January 25, 2019 teleconference call with DOE,
Brennan Hickok, Doug Schoessler, and city clerk to review results of analysis; results indicate that the
voting location could potentially be moved back to city hall if the back parking lot were modified to
allow for one or two van accessible spaces with a flat approach to the back door, and if the back door
were widened by a minimum of two inches. UPDATE: Administration has received quotes for a chair lift
for the 4th Avenue entrance of City Hall. A decision will need to be made as to whether to proceed or
explore other options including the construction of new ADA parking spaces and appropriate
topography on the alleyway entrance.
2. SET LOCATION FOR SATELLITE FIRE STATION AND PUBLIC WORKS
BUILDING
Administration is currently reviewing a concept public-private proposal to house the Quint (ladder
truck) on the city-side of the bay. The Interim City Manager and Assistant City Manager met with the
city’s State lobbyist, Kent Dawson on October 15, 2018. Dawson is confident that the state will have a
capital budget this coming session. The opportunity to push for this project as a State Legislative
Priority will be coming to council on December 10, 2018. UPDATE: A scope of work is being drafted for
R&M to survey and plat the abandoned Air Force Rec Camp property. Administration seeks additional
direction to include the Satellite Fire Station and Public Works relocation in that Scope of Work.
3. DISCUSSION ON AIR FORCE RECREATION CAMP SITE
Council held a joint work session with the Planning & Zoning Commission on February 28, 2018.
Directed administration to have Community Development bring forward multiple land use concepts.

development concepts. Following April 9, 2018 work session, administration has initiated the rezone of
the property to Auto Commercial (AC), the replatting of lots generally as presented at the work session,

difference will need to be funded by the City. This obligation includes in-kind and cash contributions as
well as already spent funds on the testing well. We are currently waiting for grant documents from the
Alaska Energy Authority. State lobbyist Kent Dawson expressed that the likely new Governor will be
interested in Economic Development projects. The potential for expanding on this loop using state grant
dollars exists. The City has received the Alaska Energy Authority grant documentation and is awaiting
approval from City Council to authorize the City Manager to accept the grant money and grant terms.
Approval was on the November 26, 2018 regular Council meeting agenda; the grant documents have
been signed and sent back to the AEA. Staff has provided YourCleanEnergy with grant documents and is
