Subject: Action Memorandum 2023-005: Authorizing the City Manager to Approve
Placement of a Memorial on the Jesse Lee Home Parcel By the Seward
Community Library Association
Background and justification:
The City of Seward is in the process of working with the Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation (DEC) to determine the allowable use(s) for the Jesse Lee Home parcel. Mitigation
and removal of contaminated soils is still underway and a determine by DEC is forthcoming. City
Council has directed City Administration previously that the future site layout and design for the
parcel needs to come back to City Council once the allowable uses are determined. No timeline is
known at this time for DEC determination.
City Administration is working to have a comprehensive survey completed of the parcel to
determine lot lines and detailed parcel information.
In the meantime, the Seward Community Library Association (SCLA) has obtained $38,000 in grant
funding which is intended to be used for the purpose of constructing a memorial on the Jesse Lee
Home site and would like to use some of the funds for an outdoor mini park. If approved, this
Action Memorandum authorizes the City Manager to allow SCLA to construct such a memorial in the
southwest corner of the lot.
