To: City Council
From: Janette Bower, City Manager
Agenda Item: Resolution 2022-046: Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a New 20
Year Lease with 2 Five-Year Options to Extend with Pacific Resurrection Bay

District, Third Judicial District, State of Alaska, Consisting of Approximately

Background and justification:
The Seward City Council approved the initial lease for Seward Marine Services,on October 23, 1991,
for a thirty-year term with no options to extend. The initial lease was for Parcel A 19,756 square feet
and Parcel B 33,572 square feet more or less; with an amendment by Estoppel Certificate dated
March 6, 2006, as evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption of Lease recorded July 1, 1996.
Lease(91-70) expired on September 30, 2021. Pacific Resurrection Bay Seafoods Inc. has requested
a new thirty-year ground lease.
The City Manager and administration has negotiated a new 20-year lease with two five-year
extensions, the new lease also incorporates standard lease language which has been added to all
City leases since the original Seward Marine Services lease was approved thirty years ago (i.e. lease
appraisals; annual CPI rental adjustments, etc.).
The current lease payment is $8,400; this would be reduced according to the amount of lease
credits applied, it could also change with the 2022 yearly CPI or upon the new appraisal in 2025.
