City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: September 25, 2023
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Kris Peck, City Clerk
Subject: Resolution 2023-112: A Resolution Scheduling a Special Election to Repeal
Resolution 2023-88 and Resolution 2023-89 to be held Tuesday, November 28,
2023.
Background and justification:
The City Clerk has received two sufficient petitions for referendums to repeal two Resolutions (Resolution
2023-99 and Resolution 2023-89) that placed Proposition No. I: The Sale of the Seward Electric Utility and
Proposition No. 2: The Seward City Charter Amendment on the October 3 regular election ballot. Applicable
Seward City Code for Initiative and Referendum (Section 4.15) is enclosed below.
Here is the timeline for the referendum petitions_ City code timeline requirements were met..
- The application for referendum petitions were received August 3, 2023
- The application was certified on August 17, 2023
- The completed petitions were filed with the clerk on September 5, 2023
- The completed petitions were certified on September 15, 2023
The clerk submitted the petition to the City Council on the first regular meeting after certification
Although Seward City Code language states that it must be put on the next regular election, these referenda
fall too close to the next regular election to meet the required legal noticing. The Clerk must notice a regular
election 20 days in advance and a special election 30 days in advance. (4.01.045) Absentee voting has
already opened for the regularly scheduled October 3 election.
Given the circumstances and requirements, a special election will need to be scheduled for between
November 28 and December 11, 2023.
Based on historic information, the estimated costs of the election will be S6000.
4.01.045 Publication of notice of elections.
The clerk shall; publish a notice of each regular and special election at least twice in one or more newspapers
of general circulation in the city, the first such publication to be accomplished at least 20 days prior to a regular
election, and at least 30 days prior to a special election. The notice shall also be posted on the city's website and in
four public places within the city.
(Ord. 527, 1984; Ord. 542, § 1, 1985; Ord. 94-47; Ord. 2002-05; Ord 2004-02; and Charter 10.2; Ord. No. 2022-017,

Discussion Item
Date: September 25, 2023
To: City Council
From: Kris Peck, City Clerk
Discuss the Agenda Format for Citizen Comments and Public Hearing Comments
BACKGROUND:
The current agenda format does not allow the 3-minute Citizen Comments to address public
hearing items. If a citizen attempts to speak to a public hearing item they are gaveled down and
told to wait until the public hearing item comes up on the agenda. However, the public hearing
item might not come up for 45-90 minutes into the meeting depending on the agenda. The
convenience factor of the Citizen Comments is a major advantage compared to waiting for the
public hearing. In our public hearing notices (see below) we list them as starting at 7:00 p.m. but
in reality the public hearings are nowhere near 7:00 p.m.
The goal of this discussion is to evaluate the current process for citizen comments. Also tied into
this discussion is the possibility of changing the duration of citizen comments. We have received
feedback that 3 minutes is too short, and the closing comments of 5 minutes is too long. If council
feels that changes need to be made, please make a motion to direct the Clerk's Office to bring back
an ordinance with a revised format.
Two POSSIBLE OPTIONS:
A. Allow citizens to speak to a public hearing item during the 3-minute opening comments.
Their voice would be heard, it just wouldn't be an official part of the public bearing,
4. CITIZEN COMMENTS ON ANY SUBJECT EXCEPT THOSE ITEMS
SCHEDULED FOR PUBLIC HEARING (3 minutes per speaker)
B. Keep the Citizen Comments section exactly the same, but immediately follow it with 5-
minute public hearing comments. The clerk would read names from the Public Hearing
sign -in sheets after we finish with the Citizen Comments. This would be an option for the
citizen to speak now for 5 minutes or later for 5 minutes during the actual public bearing.
The citizen would not be able to speak both times.
4. CITIZEN COMMENTS ON ANY SUBJECT EXCEPT THOSE HEMS
SCHEDULED FOR PUBLIC HEARING (3 minutes per speaker)
5. PUBLIC HE
