Bruce Jaffa,outside the city,said all the projects in the capital improvement plan were good.
One item he supported was the library heat loop; across the country, communities were reducing
their carbon footprint and he encouraged Seward to work toward reducing its carbon footprint.
Carol Griswold, inside the city, advocated for Two Lakes Park infrastructure. She wished
the staircase with exposed rebar would be repaired;there were several other areas that were in dire
need of repair and/or replacement.For the boardwalk at the lagoon,she encouraged council to move
up the timing of its replacement because she believed it was in worsening condition.She wished this
meeting had been a work session rather than a special meeting so there could be more citizen
interaction.
