City of Seward,Alaska City Council Minutes August 26, 2019 Volume 40,Page 782 Ordinance 2019-011,Amending Seward City Code Title 5,Revenue And Finance,To Adopt Chapter 5.22"Developer Reimbursement And Incentive Program,"Implementing A Process For Reimbursing Some Or All Of Developers' Public Improvement Installation Costs. This ordinance was amended and introduced on July 8, 2019 and was referred to administration for further development. This ordinance came back on August 12, 2019, was amended, had a public hearing, and was postponed to August 26, 2019 for another public hearing and enactment. Motion (McClure/Osenga) Enact Ordinance 2019-011 Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. Carol Griswold preferred to have this listed as a public hearing item rather than unfinished business. She did not think that this ordinance was ready for enactment,and she wanted council to follow up with Community Development before enacting Ordinance 2019-011. Phil Zimmermann said City Planner Jackie Wilde was in support of this ordinance and was involved in the process from the beginning. Zimmermann wanted this ordinance voted on tonight. No one else appeared to address the Council and the public hearing was closed. Motion to Amend (McClure/Horn) Amend Ordinance 2019-011 By Replacing the Original Ordinance with the Substitute Ordinance. Motion to Amend Passed Unanimous Seese said she was with Carol Griswold when Jackie Wilde told her that they did not need to go through this whole process, and Wilde could make a change to the original way the process for developers had been handled. Horn said council being uncomfortable with the original proposed ordinance was what brought about the changes in the substitute ordinance. In response to Squires,Meszaros said there was a subdivision improvement agreement,but a petition for special assessment was what Zimmermann had turned in. The purpose of Ordinance 2019-011 was to create a separate pathway under Seward City Code that did not currently exist. Meszaros said Wilde was correct,though,that the city could just do a few things,such as identifying the funding and getting a subdivision improvement agreement,but the city manager wanted to take the city attorney's advice and put this in code. This process was nearly fulfilled at this point. In response to Osenga, Meszaros said a plat note would be used to recover these funds. In response to Towsley, Meszaros said the difference between public utilities and public improvements was defined by each project. City of Seward,Alaska City Council Minutes August 26, 2019 Volume 40,Page 783 Motion to Postpone (Towsley/McClure) Postpone Ordinance 2019-011 In response to McClure,Meszaros said public utilities and public improvements were defined by each project. In response to McClure, Towsley said she was concerned that council could be voting on something that some of them did not understand. She also did not like some of the language in the ordinance. Lane liked the application included in the ordinance and did not want to postpone this ordinance. Meszaros suggested adding a clause to ordinances that would allow council to change non- substantial items in them. Motion to Postpone Failed Yes: Towsley,Seese, No:Horn,Osenga,Lane,McClure,Squires Motion to Amend (Towsley/Lane) Amend Ordinance 2019-011 by changing "The City Manager or his or her designee" to "Planning & Zoning Commission" in Section 5.22.030(c). Towsley believed this change would allow the public to have more of a say in the process. Motion to Amend Passed Yes:Seese,Towsley,Lane,Osenga,McClure No: Horn, Squires Motion to Amend (Towsley/Lane) Amend Ordinance 2019-011 by adding "...and forward recommendations to City Manager's office"to the above amendment so that it reads, "The Planning & Zoning Commission shall review the application and determine if the applicant meets the requirements for reimbursement within thirty(30)days of receiving an application, and forward their recommendations to the City Manager's Office". In response to Horn, Towsley said she believed this change made sure that everyone was treated fairly. McClure said the application would still come to council for approval. City of Seward,Alaska City Council Minutes August 26, 2019 Volume 40,Page 784 Squires was concerned that the developers would have appeal rights under the Planning& Zoning Commission if they denied the application before the application made it to the city manager and council. In response to Squires,Towsley said the Planning&Zoning Commission would make recommendations to the city manager, but Planning & Zoning would not be able to deny an application by themselves. Horn believed that the developers'applications would have to go through every single level of the city regardless. Motion to Amend Passed Yes: Seese, Towsley, McClure, Lane, Osenga No: Horn, Squires In response to Osenga,Meszaros said there needed to be a resolution authorizing funding for this project.Meszaros suggested using the city's portion of the bed tax money for the development of city infrastructure in the future. Main Motion Passed Unanimous NEW BUSINESS Ordinances for Introduction—None Resolutions Resolution 2019-075, Authorizing The Cancellation Of An Interfund Debt Owed To The General Fund From The Wastewater Enterprise Fund In The Remaining Amount Of $1,219,150 Related To The Failure Of The Lowell Point Sewage Lagoon Liner And Associated Dredging Costs Incurred In 1990. Motion (McClure/Seese) Approve Resolution 2019-075 Meszaros said this was a 1990 project. In 1999,the city council elected to allocate$76,940 towards the water enterprise fund each year to cover this project,but this had only happened for five years out of the thirty years since then. He said there was no transfer of money or payment involved, and it was a cancellation of the funds from the interfund debt owed to the General Fund.It was not a monetary issue but a tracking issue. Squires said the city had loans from Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC)of$76,840 per year for the Alaska boat lagoon and not cancelling the interfund debt owed to the General Fund could increase the loan interest rates substantially. In response to Squires,Hickok said there was no resolution from 1999,and the funds owed to the General Fund were built into the budget process.Hickok said the contractor for the Wastewater Study had requested a report of the city's debts, so the timing of this resolution was opportune. City of Seward,Alaska City Council Minutes August 26, 2019 Volume 40,Page 785 In response to Towsley, Public Works Director Doug Schoessler said the timeline for receiving the Wastewater Study was the end of October. Motion Passed Yes:Towsley,Seese,Osenga,McClure,Horn, Squires No: Lane Resolution 2019-076, Approving the 2020 Grant Year Budget For The Seward Community Health Center As Required By The Co-Applicant Agreement Between The City Of Seward And The Seward Community Health Center (CHC). Motion (McClure/Seese) Approve Resolution 2019-076 Meszaros said this was a recommended budget from the Seward Community Health Center. In response to Lane, Craig Ambrosiani said competition was not restricted completely. He said the CHC had some issues that had been resolved. He asked that Section 2 be omitted from Resolution 2019-076. Council suspended the rules to speak to Christine Sheehan from Seaview. Christine Sheehan asked council to uphold its role in promoting collaboration rather than competition in health care providers.She requested that council leave Section 2 in Resolution 2019- 076. She felt that this should be a larger community discussion, and she asked for the city's continued support. In response to Squires, Sheehan said that Seaview's contract was yearly and their reports were quarterly. In response to Towsley, Sheehan was concerned that the co-applicant agreement was under re-negotiation. Council suspended the rules to speak to Craig Ambrosiani from the CHC. Craig Ambrosiani said that there was a large movement to integrate mental health into medical services because a lot of medical issues were intertwined with behavioral issues. He believed that collaboration and cooperation needed to be stressed in the co-applicant agreement.He said the Health Resources&Services Administration(HRSA)said the CHC board should have the final say on any matters related to health care. He believed if the resolution moved forward with Section 2 in it, then that would go against what HRSA said. Hickok said he disagreed with Ambrosiani and that removing Section 2 would be going against HRSA, and the budget was what was being approved. City of Seward,Alaska City Council Minutes August 26, 2019 Volume 40, Page 786 In response to Squires, Ambrosiani said Providence referred to another provider when they can no longer help a patient with behavioral health.The Community Health Center Board and HRSA were responsible for determining their scope of service for behavioral health. In response to Towsley,Ambrosiani said the CHC did not compete with Seaview for federal funds. The CHC was the only one in the community eligible for these funds. Council went back on the rules. Motion to Amend (Lane/) Amend Resolution 2019-076 by Striking Section 2 from Resolution 2019-076. Lane requested to strike Section 2,saying this resolution was a budget agreement.She did not want to cut health care anywhere and believed the citizens should be the first priority. Motion Died Due to Lack of Second Towsley thanked Sheehan and Ambrosiani for speaking on behalf of Seaview and the CHC. In response to Squires,Meszaros said he had been working very closing with the CHC on the co-applicant agreement. He said the CHC was in charge of determining their position and they do as a health care provider. Main Motion Passed Yes: Horn,McClure,Towsley,Seese Osenga, Squires No: Lane Other New Business Postponed to September 9, 2019 Regarding the Seward Airport: A.

She wanted council to take more of a leadership role on this project and be more proactive. She wanted a timeline for the project and to know what the public can expect.
