COMMUNITY BACKGROUND Seward, pronounced "Soo -word," is situated at the head of Resurrection Bay on the Kenai Peninsula. It is surrounded by majestic snow-capped mountains which are blanketed with lush green vegetation, trees and alpine wildflowers. Mt. Marathon is the western backdrop of Seward with Harding Ice Field lined along the back, extending to the coast. Chugach National Forest, Kenai Fjords National Park and Caines Head State Recreation area are nearby. Founded in 1903 as the ocean terminus of what is now the Alaska Railroad, Seward prides itself, not only on its natural beauty, but as Alaska's only deep -water, ice -free port with rail, highway and air transportation to Alaska's interior and major urban population centers. This strategically positions Seward for Pacific Rim maritime commerce. Seward enjoys a beautiful and scenic natural Alaskan environment with numerous visitor attractions. The town City Manager offers day cruises, kayaking, fishing, abundant marine activities and wildlife, unparalleled recreation and is the terminus for the Alaska Railroad. Seward was named All -American City in 1963, 1965, and 2005. Seward experiences a maritime climate with average winter temperatures ranging from 17 to 38 degrees Fahrenheit and average summer temperatures ranging from 49 to 63 degrees Fahrenheit. Average annual rainfall is 66 inches. Average annual snowfall is 80 inches. Seward's local economy is driven largely by the commercial fishing industry, marine trade, vessel servicing, and seasonal tourism. Many of Seward's lodging facilities, restaurants and shops cater mainly to tourists, and open for business during the summer tourist season, generally mid -May through mid - September. Other major employers in Seward include the state -run Spring Creek Correctional Center, the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development's AVTEC vocational school and the Providence Seward Medical and Care Center. Seward is proud to be the home of the Alaska SeaLife Center. The Center is the only facility in Alaska that combines a public aquarium with marine research, education, and wildlife response. While primarily dedicated to marine research and education, the Center is the only permanent marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation facility in the state. The Alaska SeaLife Center lies at "Mile 0" of the scenic Seward Highway on the shores of Resurrection Bay. Visitors to its "windows to the sea" have close encounters with puffins, octopus, harbor seals, sea lions, and other marine life while learning about the work conducted both in the field and in the Center's laboratories. Seward offers an unbeatable year-round quality of life and environment to attract residents, visitors and employees. The spectacular mountain and bay scenery, with abundant land -based and marine wildlife, coupled with immediate access to pristine areas for hiking, mountain biking, mountain climbing, cross country skiing, snow machining, camping, fishing, white water rafting, dog mushing, sea kayaking, cold water scuba diving and other outdoor activities make the City of Seward a year-round outdoor playground for all ages. Seward History In 1792, Russian explorer Alexander Baranof arrived by boat in what is now known as Resurrection Bay. Baranof remembered the sheltered waters of the bay when he chose a place to build the Phoenix, perhaps the first ship built on the west coast of North America, in 1793-1794. Seward is named in honor of William H. Seward, President Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of State. Secretary Seward was responsible for negotiating the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867. Settlement of Resurrection Bay began in the 1890's with the arrival of Captain Frank Lowell and his family. The founders and settlers of the town of Seward arrived in 1903 to build the railroad. On Christmas Day, 1908, gold was discovered on Otter Creek, a tributary of the Iditarod River. The Iditarod Trail began as a mail and supply route from the coastal towns of Seward and Knik to the interior mining camps and beyond to the coastal communities of Unalakleet, Elim, Golovin, White Mountain and Nome. Later, in 1925, the Iditarod Trail became a life saving highway for epidemic -stricken Nome. Diphtheria threatened and serum was sent via dogsled to the western community. The Iditarod now is a national historic trail, and is called the "Last Great Race on Earth." Each year, an extremely competitive dogsled race takes place over more than Seward, Alaska 1,150 miles from Anchorage to Nome. Mile 0 in Seward is marked by a historical monument. Seward was incorporated in 1912. In 1915, President Woodrow Wilson chose Seward as the main railroad route into Alaska's interior. The fate of the railroad fluctuated for many years until the advent of World War II. During the war, Seward and its port prospered. Resurrection Bay became a strategic military port, and by 1944 the railroad was one of the most prosperous in the nation. In 1964, an earthquake measuring 9.2 on the Richter scale was centered 95 air miles northeast of Seward. The quake, several tsunami waves, and resulting fires severely damaged the town and the rail yards. Eventually both the town and railroad were restored, but rail service took many years to recover. Remnants of that earthquake can still be seen along the waterfront today, with a movie being shown at the Seward Library during the summer months.

Before I discuss my leadership qualifications, I would like to state that the West Yellowstone and Seward are extremely similar communities with the exception of the ocean and great seafood — cold snowy winters, large seasonal variations in population, geographically isolated location, surrounded by remote wilderness, abundance of outdoor recreation possibilities, and a diverse community — to name just a few. Since the start of my career, I have served in various executive leadership positions that provided me with the opportunity to utilize my innovative skillset to revitalize, maintain, and/or enhance a variety of communities, governments, and non-profit organizations. My executive -level government experience includes direct responsibilities in budgeting, human resource management, planning, economic/community development, affordable housing, and parks/recreation. I have, personally and administratively, retained/recruited large companies, redeveloped commercial properties, secured and managed large federal and state grants, coordinated major infrastructure projects, drafted and implemented comprehensive plans, reviewed site plans, wrote legislation and zoning codes, and conducted land acquisitions. I have been responsible for the development and management of diverse assets that included municipal, residential, commercial, industrial, public transit system, and recreational projects. In addition to the above -mentioned experience, I was also part of the team that was able to secure an additional 1% Resort Tax for ten communities in Montana. This involved working with both political parties to draft the legislation, testify before the House and Senate, and lobbying the key members of the legislative and executive branches. So, I am familiar with how to efficiently and effectively work in a diverse and challenging political arena. Throughout my career, I have been extremely accessible to citizens and staff, very active in the community, and developed successful partnerships with local governments, non -profits, and the business sector.

My bachelor's degree in Political Science, experience serving as a Local Government Specialist III for the State of Alaska and working with rural Alaska communities under the Rural Utilities Business Advisor (RUBA) ensure I meet and exceed the minimum qualifications for the position and will be a welcoming and collaborative approach in managing the city. I have been the assigned State of Alaska, Local Government Specialist, for over 30 different municipal, 20 tribal, and five (5) census -designated communities across Alaska. I worked on drafting ordinances & resolutions, conducted research for communities, and advised on the functions that needed to be completed by the local government and stakeholders. Tatitlek, a tribal government community located in Prince William Sound, was facing serious issues. Before being assigned to the community, the water utility was operating at a loss, out of compliance with EPA, and the tribe even declared an emergency when they ran out of water. I organized a unified effort with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, the Alaska Municipal Land Trust, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Tatitlek Corporation, to turn things around. The Tatitlek IRA Council attended presentations, training workshops, and we all developed a work plan for the community water utility and tribal council. I taught the Tribal Administrator on setting utility rates for the water utility, drafting bylaws, and office management strategies. The council approved a water utility budget, became more active, and all the stakeholders involved saw great improvement overall. Since then, the community's water utility is sustainable, the tribal council is active, and a certified water operator running the utility. Relations between the agency, the tribal government, and tribal corporation has greatly improved following my efforts. Along with my role, I also served as the Rural Utility Business Advisor (RUBA) for over 40 communities across Alaska. My duties included assisting and aiding municipal and tribal governments with public utilities management, such as water, harbors, and solid waste. My experience as a Local Government Specialist and RUBA staff will allow me to enter the position ready to serve with the experience the City of Seward is asking for. I have worked with the Alaska Municipal League, tribal operations, and stakeholders on conducting training sessions for municipal and tribal governments. This included weeklong Elected Officials training, Personnel Management, and Local Government & Public Utilities Financial Management. I have traveled across the State to conduct on -site training sessions, including communities in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Kodiak, and the Aleutian East Borough. The new City Administrator asked me to come to the City of Atka to go over ordinances and setting up for the election, which was two months away. Once I arrived at Atka, the City Administrator and I went over the election ordinances, drafted a to-do list, and posted notices for poll watchers. We also reviewed the city budget, discussed the state of the water utility, and drafted a resolution to pursue grants in upgraded the outdated water utility. Two months later, the election went without any issues, the budget was passed before the end of the year, and the Best Practices score increased to allow the city to be grant eligible for the water utility upgrades. Along with my experience working with municipal and tribal governments, I have experience assisting Census Designated Places with public utilities operated by a non-profit. The community of Voznesenka, located east of Homer, is a community where a non-profit owns and operates the utility. The utility was operated with volunteers, running at a loss, and had become unreliable. When I was assigned to the community, I met with members of the non-profit and offered to conduct a water rate study. To ensure reliable water service, we needed to know the total costs of the utility annually, set a budget, and pay the utility staff. My proposed budget and water rate I recommended was to increase the water rate by $30 per customer. At the public meeting, I broke down the math to the non-profit, and residents of the community. While most residents were concerned about the increased water rate, most agree if it meant better service, they would be okay. Since that November of 2017, the Voznesenka water utility has been generating profit, contributing to the Repair & Replacement Account, and expanding service. In 2019 it won the State of Alaska Ursa Minor Award for excellence in water service. I have been invited multiple times to present to the community, including the process of incorporating. My experience ensures I will bring a welcoming and collaborative approach. My experience guiding municipalities across Alaska, especially rural Alaska, is an asset I bring to the City of Seward. Seward is one of my favorite places in Alaska. I have done many weekend trips to Seward, the opportunity to serve the city, and see Resurrection Bay every morning, is an opportunity of a lifetime. Thank you for your time and consideration, looking forward to meeting everyone!

I believe I would be a good fit for this position for several reasons, as outlined below. Although thousands of miles apart, and in different temperate zones, the county I work and reside in is similar to Seward in that it is a coastal community with a transportation network that includes cruise and cargo ships, rail, buses, airports, and highways and local roads. My government experience encompasses many different operational and policy areas. Currently, as chief of staff for a diverse commission district representing over 100,000 constituents, my work touches on a wide range of issues that come before the commission, and for which commissioners have oversight. For example, Public Works and Utilities are of particular concern due to the flooding issues we have in my district, and the concern about the deteriorating quality of the Indian River Lagoon. The health of the commercial sector of Merritt Island (in my district) is also an area requiring attention, thus, I spend significant time acting as an advisor to the executive director of the community redevelopment agency, which receives over a million dollars a year in tax increment financing. As a finance manager in Brevard County's human resources department, became well acquainted with health and risk insurance matters, as well issues related to personnel. As a firefighter/EMT reservist with Brevard County's fire rescue department, I was able to gain firsthand knowledge of fire rescue operations, along with knowledge regarding the resources and constraints that are inherent in these operations. As an assistant state attorney, I interacted closely with law enforcement, as I was responsible for making prosecutorial decisions relating to arrests, and determining the manner in which cases should be handled. Finally, my private sector experience is relevant in two respects: my experience as a business manager in the health care industry (emergency department operations), and my experience as a ferryboat captain and harbormaster. I truly appreciate your consideration. Fritz VanVolkenburgh R7/ ROBERT F.
