City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: January 10, 2022
To: City Council
From: Janette Bower, City Manager
Agenda Item: Resolution 2022-005: Directing the City Manager to Enter into Negotiation to
Purchase the Lots Owned by Thomas Gillespie, located at 2405 and 2413
Seward Highway, for the Future Location of the Public Works Shop Facility
and to Begin the Required Appraisal Process
Background and justification:
The current Public Works Facility, located at 434 Sixth Avenue in Seward is beyond its useful life and
in need of replacement. Additionally, the current site's most appropriate use has been identified to
be for the purpose of residential development. As such, City Administration has determined the
purchase of two lots; located at 2405 and 2413 Seward Highway, are the most suitable location to
construct a new Public Works Facility.
City Council held a Work Session on October 25, 2021 and discussed this negotiation. Other
locations have been considered, including the adjacent lot which is owned by the City and currently
used as a snow dump. However, this adjacent property would require approximately 45,000 cubic
yards of fill material. This added cost as well as the impact on adjacent property owners suggest
that the lots at 2405 and 2413 are the most appropriate location for the Public Works shop to be
located.
Following council approval to begin negotiations, the City Manager will also begin the appraisal
process. Following negotiations, the required public hearing will be held on the resolution
authorizing the sale and the essential terms and conditions of the acquisition are made available to
the public. At the same meeting as the public hearing, the council will consider adoption of the
resolution authorizing the acquisition and if necessary, a finding that the public interest will be
served by disposing of the property for less than the appraised fair market value.
