to come to Seward; we all had to realize that. What people were pushing for was enough housing to

COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION COMMENTS & RESPONSE TO CITIZEN
COMMENTS
Bower said she was currently digging into the Strategic Plan. She appreciated the overlap
between council and the boards and commissions because everyone was moving in the same
direction.
Wells thanked all the boards and commissions for the meeting, and looked forward to
working with them.
Calhoon appreciated all the work being done by the boards and commissions.
Osenga thanked the boards and commissions. He thought they were all doing a fantastic job
and were working hard.
McClure appreciated the community service from everyone on the boards and commissions.
She was president of the Resurrection Bay Historical Society(RBHS),and knew first hand that four
of the HP commissioners here tonight were regular attendees at RBHS meetings;that gave her hope
that Seward's history would be preserved.
Terry appreciated everyone's hard work. It was great to see people involved that were so
passionate about the community. The city couldn't run effectively if not for the good work of the
boards and commissions.
