City Manager Report
October 22, 2024
First and foremost a big thank you to everyone for participating in and engaging with the budget
process. It's been an exciting few weeks so far, and after the last work session on Oct 28, the
administration and finance teams will get together and take into consideration the collaborative input
before presenting the complete FY25/26 Draft Budget for adoption. That means there is still time to
make your voice heard on changes or things you would like to see in the budget!
At the Nov 12 meeting, we will present the draft FY25/26 budget for adoption. The budget will have
three public hearings on Nov 12, Nov 25, and Dec 9. Formal input at this stage will be during regular
council meetings and through the usual public hearing process. Changes to the budget will have to be
made through the amendment process by council.
I hope that everyone feels comfortable coming and speaking to the budget at the work sessions and
public hearings, but if not feel free to reach out to me via email at ksorensen@cityofseward.net.
I'm also taking notes on how to improve the process next time around, so feel free to send some
comments about that as well.
In addition to the budget and all the pieces associated with that, we've been keeping in communication
with the United States Coast Guard about their ongoing projects and commitment to Seward. Also, the
15% Design and Engineering activities for the Fire Department have begun with a kickoff meeting on Oct
10 and an onsite planning visit on Oct 29.
The Deputy City Manager has been working on 3rd quarter reporting for grants and a few associated
legal issues. He has also been working with the attorneys on several key legal issues.
Thanks,
Kat

books as possible until they reach Kindergarten age. When they reach 1,000 books, they receive

others to read in the library (we provide the "donated" book).

ALASKA
RAILROAD
Port Activity Update November 6, 2024
THE ALASKA RAILROAD'S MISSION -- Through excellent customer service and sound business
management practices, provide safe, efficient, and economical transportation and real estate services
that support and grow economic development opportunities for the State of Alaska.
Port Traffic
• The port logged more than 180 freight and non -cruise dockings through October. October cargo
ships included the Star Maia and Key West, which discharged more than 5,000 tons of steel pipe
and 11,000 supersacks of frac sand product.
• Winter freight train service is currently set on a repeating, two -week schedule.
• The 2025 cruise ship schedule now includes 73 ships, the first arriving on May 13 and the final
ship of the season on September 24.
Port Capital Projects
• The cruise dock and terminal building replacement continues to move forward. Initial stages of
the $137 million project will begin in March, with major demolition and construction starting in
the fall of 2025. Additional information is available at: https://sewardcompanv.com
• The cruise ship dock and terminal project will benefit from $45 million in anticipated EPA funding
for vessel shore power. The announcement was made last week. The Alaska Railroad worked
with the municipality to submit for a Clean Ports Program grant to fund cruise ship shore power
infrastructure including a battery energy storage system. The Railroad hired HDR to develop the
grant application and the City was the applicant.
• Due to port project activity the terminal building will be closed to public events and club
activities during the off season and winter. The public will be welcome to utilize the new
terminal building, which will be approximately three times larger when completed.
• A property clearing project along Port Avenue is ongoing (including the filling of a retention pond)
to make additional parking and cargo space for 2025 operations.
• The freight dock expansion project is still on schedule to begin in late 2026. Most of the cost will
be met by a $19.8 million federal grant, with $5 million in ARRC matching funds and a gravel
contribution by the City of Seward. More than 30,000 cubic yards of project fill has been staged.

SECTION II - SERVICES AND CHARGES
200 MOORAGE
Outside the Boat Harbor: Vessels berthing or departing city docks, wharves, or any other terminal facility,
including the shiplift system, must use sufficient tugs so that vessels can be berthed or removed in a safe
manner. Berthing speed shall not exceed sixteen feet per minute, unless approved by the Harbormaster.
Within the Boat Harbor:
(a) Assignment of Berths. The Boat Harbor is often congested and it is the policy of the City of Seward to
provide for the maximum public use of available facilities. The Harbormaster shall have discretion to
implement that policy.
Berth assignments to particular slips on the City of Seward float system are made by the Harbormaster.
Berth assignments are made to a particular combination of vessel and owner/operator, are not assignable
by the owner/operator and automatically expire upon sale or transfer of the vessel to another
owner/operator.
A berth assignment is not a lease or an exclusive right to occupy any particular slip. In order to
maximize the public's use of existing facilities, it is common for the Harbormaster to temporarily assign
vessels to slips normally used by another vessel when that vessel is out of the harbor.
(b) Waiting List for Reserved Slip Assignment. Due to the demand for slips on the City of Seward float
system, vessels will be assigned reserved slips based on waiting lists maintained by the Harbormaster's
office. Separate waiting lists shall be maintained for the following size floats:
23 feet (accommodates vessel 19 to 26 feet)
32 feet (accommodates vessel 27 to 36 feet)
40 feet (accommodates vessel 37 to 44 feet)
50 feet (accommodates vessel 45 to 54 feet)
75 feet (accommodates vessel 65 to 79 feet)
90 feet (accommodates vessel 80 to 94 feet)
100 feet (accommodates vessel 95 to 104 feet)
105 feet or longer - side tie only - up to 150 feet
Assignments to a reserved slip from the waiting lists shall be made by the Harbormaster based on the
slip size available and the most senior name on the waiting list for that size slip.
There is a fee of FORTY DOLLARS ($40.00) per year per listing on the waiting list(s) for a reserved
slip assignment. The wait list year runs November 1 st through October 31 st
(c) Reserved Slip Assignments
(1) The Harbormaster may assign a specific slip on the City of Seward float system within the Boat
Harbor to a particular vessel on a semi-annual basis.
(2) A reserved slip assignment to a vessel is not a lease or right to occupy a particular slip and may
not be assigned.
(3) To maximize the use of the Boat Harbor, a reserved assigned slip may be assigned to a transient
vessel when the reserved assigned owner/vessel is out of the harbor.
(4) Upon the return of the reserved assigned vessel to the Boat Harbor (provided proper notifications
are given and based on harbor congestion and the difficulties involved in moving vessels), the
Harbormaster will attempt to rearrange vessels so that a vessel with a reserved slip assignment
may berth at that assigned slip.
Port and Harbor Tariff Regulations City of Seward, Alaska
Effective January 1, 2024

34
(5)
A vessel assigned a reserved slip assignment must notify the Harbormaster when departing the
harbor for more than five (5) days. If away from Seward for more than five (5) days, a reserved
assigned vessel should notify the Harbormaster of its intended arrival date and time back into the
Boat Harbor.
(d) Grace Period for Late Renewals. A reserved slip holder who fails to renew by the due date may renew
any time in the next fifteen (15) days rather than relinquish the slip, provided that (1) both parties agree,
(2) all other reserved moorage requirements are met, and (3) the applicable transient rate is paid on or
before the fifteen (15) days has expired.
(e) New Reserved Slip Assignment. For a new reserved slip moorage agreement entered into after January 1st
or July 1st, the following rules and charges apply:
(fl
(g)
(1) If the customer has already paid for transient moorage, the customer charges will be converted
from transient charges to reserved tenant charges on the effective date of the slip assignment. The
reserved tenant moorage fee shall be charged on a pro -rated basis and is due in full on the date of
the slip assignment.
(2) If the customer is new to the harbor and has not paid any moorage fees, the reserved moorage fee
shall be charged on a prorated basis and is due in full on the date of the slip assignment.
(3)
As stated in paragraphs (e) (1) and (2) above, pro -rated basis shall be calculated by dividing the
semi-annual moorage amount by 6, and charging the new tenant 1/6th of the reserved tenant
moorage rate per calendar month for the remainder of the moorage agreement. If a slip
assignment occurs during a calendar month, the partial month will be charged the lesser of the
daily rate or 1/6th the semi-annual amount.
Reserved and Temporary (Transient) Slip Assignments. There are two types of slip assignments at the
City of Seward Boat Harbor. The first is a reserved assigned slip and the second is a transient slip.
Reserved Slips that are assigned to a boat/owner may be used for transient moorage when the reserved
assigned vessel is away from the slip.
Notice Upon Arrival. All vessels should notify the Seward Boat Harbor office prior to arrival. Those
vessels which have received reserved assigned slips should notify the Harbormaster's office twenty-four
(24) hours prior to expected arrival to allow the harbor staff time to free the slip. If, despite reasonable
efforts, the Harbormaster is unable to clear a reserved assigned slip due to congestion, high winds or
safety considerations, a vessel with a reserved assigned slip may be required to temporarily use a
transient slip or float as directed by the Harbormaster.
Vessels entering the Boat Harbor which have not, for any reason, received a berthing assignment by
radio contact or otherwise shall be restricted to the following areas: west side of X float; south side of F
float; L float; R float; I dock; and T dock.
If, as is frequently the case during periods of congestion, all of the above berths are full, a vessel is
permitted to raft to a vessel already berthed.
(h) Vessel Registration. All vessels must have a current registration form (Application and Agreement for
Transient Moorage) on file with the Harbormaster. These forms must be filed immediately upon arrival
at the Boat Harbor. However, vessels that arrive after normal Harbormaster office hours must register
before 10:00 a.m. the following day.

205 MOORAGE RATES
(a) Calculation of Moorage Rates. Moorage charges shall commence when a vessel is made fast to a wharf,
pier or other facility, or when a vessel is moored to another vessel so berthed ("rafting"). Charges shall
continue until such vessel is completely freed from and has vacated the berth.
A vessel berthed at any time between 12:01 a.m. and midnight shall be charged a full day's charge. The
Harbormaster may, in his sole discretion, waive a daily charge for a vessel provided that:
(1) Notice is made in writing prior to mooring in the Seward Boat Harbor,
(2) Vessel stay is no more than 4 hours, and
(3) Harbormaster determines that congestion and use of the public facilities by others will not be
adversely affected.
The City of Seward retains the right, in its sole discretion, to determine whether a vessel berthed at any
time will be charged a full day's charge.
Moorage charges shall be calculated on the overall length of the vessel or the length of the float (slip)
assigned, whichever is greater.
(b) Automatic Annual Adjustment in Moorage Rates. All moorage rates shall be adjusted annually so as to
be effective as of January 15t, to reflect the five previous published years' average increase in the
Consumer Price Index, All Items, 1982-84=100 for all Urban Consumers, Anchorage, Alaska ("CPI") as
published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Bills sent out prior to
January 1st will reflect the upcoming January 1st adjusted rates. (For example, 2024 rates reflect an
increase based on the average CPI for 2018-2021).
Overall length shall be construed to mean the linear distance, expressed in feet, from the most forward
point at the stem to the aftermost part of the stern of the vessel, measured parallel to the base line of the
vessel. The length shall include all hull attachments, such as bowsprits, dinghies, davits, etc.
For billing purposes, overall length of the vessel as published in "Lloyd's Register of Shipping" may be
used. The City of Seward reserves the right to:
(1) Obtain the overall length from the vessel's register; or,
(2) Measure the vessel.
(c) Transient (Guest) Daily Rates. With the exception of vessel owner/operators who have paid an annual,
semi-annual, or monthly fee in advance, all temporary or transient moorage charges shall be calculated
on the daily rate. Vessels that have not paid advance transient moorage but are in the harbor for more
than 15 days in a 30-day consecutive period will be invoiced 15 days of Transient Moorage for that 30-
day period. The daily rate shall be $0.86 per lineal foot of overall length of the vessel. (See Appendix A
for a listing of Transient Moorage Rates according to vessel length):
(1) Transient (Guest) Annual Rate. The Annual Rate shall be $62.80 per lineal foot.
(2) Semi -Annual Rate. At the option of the vessel owner/operator, the annual moorage fee may be
paid in two equal semi-annual installments of sixty percent (60%) of the annual rate established
above. Each prepaid installment described in this Paragraph represents six (6) months. The first
installment is due and payable on the date the vessel owner/operator completes the Application
and Agreement for Transient Moorage. The second installment is due on or before the date that
moorage expires.
(3)
Monthly Rate. At the option of the vessel owner/operator, the annual moorage fee may be paid in
twelve equal monthly installments of eighteen percent (18%) of the annual rate established above.
Each prepaid installment described in this Paragraph represents one (1) month. The first
installment is due and payable on the date the vessel owner/operator completes the Application
Port and Harbor Tariff Regulations City of Seward, Alaska
Effective January 1, 2024 11
36
and Agreement for Moorage. The succeeding payments are due on or before the same day of each
succeeding calendar month.
(d) Reserved Moorage Rates for Slip Assignments. Moorage charges shall commence on the date a slip
assignment is accepted. Charges shall continue until the holder ceases to have a qualifying interest in a
vessel suitable for the assigned space, until the holder's death, or until the holder's voluntary or
involuntarily relinquishment of the space. Prepayment of moorage is required. (See Appendix B for a
listing of moorage rates according to vessel length).
(1) The vessel owner/operator must complete an Application and Agreement for Reserved Moorage
in the form provided by the City.
(2) Renewal Rate. The vessel owner/operator, if agreed by both parties, can renew his contract on or
before June 30th and December 31 st and pay the Renewal Rate based on the length of the vessel,
or, the length of the slip, whichever is greater. The Renewal Rate shall be $28.55 per lineal foot.
(3)
Monthly Rate. At the option of the vessel owner/operator, the moorage fee may be paid in
monthly installments of thirty-six percent (36%) of the rate established above. Each prepaid
installment described in this Paragraph represents one (1) month. The first installment is due and
payable on the date the vessel owner/operator completes the Application and Agreement for
Moorage. The succeeding payments are due on or before the same day of each calendar month.
(4) All reserved assigned berths are assigned on a six (6) month basis. Prepayment of a full six
month's charges is due on or before December 31st or June 30, respectively. A vessel
owner/operator may also elect to prepay the Renewal moorage fee in monthly installments, each
of which represents thirty-six percent (36%) of the Renewal fee.
(e) Float Plane Fees. A fee in the amount of TWENTY-SIX DOLLARS AND TWENTY-FIVE CENTS
($26.25) per day shall be charged for float plane berthing in the confines of the Boat Harbor.
210 DOCKAGE
(a) Dockage Period. Dockage shall commence when a vessel is made fast to a wharf, pier or other facility,
or when a vessel is moored to another vessel so berthed, and shall continue until such vessel is
completely freed from and has vacated the berth. No deductions will be made for Sundays or holidays.
(b) Basis for Computing Charges. Dockage charges will be assessed on the overall length of the vessel.
Overall length shall be construed to mean the linear distance, expressed in feet, from the most forward
point at the stem to the aftermost part of the stern of the vessel, measured parallel to the base line of the
vessel.
For dockage billing purposes, overall length of the vessel as published in "Lloyd's Register of Shipping"
will be used. If no such figure appears in "Lloyd's Register", the City of Seward reserves the right to:
(1) Obtain the overall length from the vessel's register; or,
(2) Measure the vessel.
(c) Vessels Docked to Repair, Shore, Outfit or Fumigate. The shiplift dock, adjacent and to the north of the
shiplift system, was constructed and intended primarily to be used for ship repair and maintenance.
Vessels being repaired by ship repair and maintenance businesses occupying upland facilities at the
Seward Marine Industrial Center will therefore be preferred over cargo operations. Full dockage will be
charged if and when a vessel is permitted to make repairs or alterations, shore for special freight, outfit,
store or fumigate while docked at a City dock or terminal facility.
(d) Preference to Reserved Dock Use. A vessel may be permitted to berth at a City dock or terminal facility
of the City of Seward without having first made written application for a berth assignment and without
such an assignment having been granted. However, priority is given to City dock use reserved in
advance with the Harbormaster. Further, any vessel seeking a berth at a city dock for a period longer
Port and Harbor Tariff Regulations City of Seward, Alaska
Effective January 1, 2024 12
37
than six (6) hours must complete, within twenty-four (24) hours of arrival in the harbor, an Application
and Agreement for Transient Moorage (see "Forms" in the preface of this document), or have a current
copy of same on file in the office of the Harbormaster. Any vessel planning to remain at a city dock for a
period of less than six (6) hours must notify the Harbormaster's office of such plan prior to arrival in the
harbor.
The City docks in the Boat Harbor include those adjacent to the fish processor's on -shore facilities,
including the licensed dock area. The dock is to be used first for receiving and delivery of fish and fish
products to the processor's on -shore facilities. In addition, the East SMIC Dock is to be used first for
receiving and delivery of fish and fish products to the processor's on -shore facilities. Reservations
remain effective if such use begins within twenty-four (24) hours of the scheduled use or landing.
Late use or arrival will be rescheduled on a space available basis. Reservation of dock use must specify
arrival and departure dates and the nature and quantity of the freight to be loaded or discharged.
A vessel or vessel agent may secure reserved dock space under the following conditions:
(1) Request for reservation is made on a Vessel Moorage Application (see "Forms" in the preface of
this document), indicating berth and date(s) requested.
(2) Reservation request must be received by the Harbormaster a minimum of seven (7) days prior to
anticipated vessel arrival.
(3)
The vessel agent or other person requesting a berth ("berthing agent") must provide, as may be
requested by the Harbormaster as a part of the berthing process, to the extent of his knowledge,
all information called for by any Supplement to Vessel Moorage Application (see "Forms" in the
preface of this document) or any other information respecting the vessel including, but not limited
to, its estimated arrival and departure, amount(s) and type(s) of cargo to be loaded/discharged,
estimate of amount of each category of port charges, as enumerated, and party responsible
therefor. The submission of this form, signed by the berthing agent, shall constitute the berthing
agent's attestation as to the accuracy of the information therein supplied, based upon and to the
extent of information made available to the berthing agent at the time of submission; and the
berthing agent shall be held personally liable to the City of Seward for any financial loss suffered
by the City of Seward as a result of the agent's failure to so report accurately.
Should the berthing agent, subsequent to submission of this form, receive information which
materially differs from the information previously provided, and which information the agent
reasonably believes is not equally known to the Harbormaster, it shall immediately notify the
Harbormaster and, if requested by the Harbormaster, promptly file an amended Supplement to
Vessel Moorage Application with the Harbormaster.
(4) Harbormaster will determine availability of dock space and dates requested. Should scheduling
conflicts be found, the Harbormaster shall mediate a resolution which will attempt to minimize
negative impacts on both (or all) parties.
(5)
Full dockage fees are payable to the City of Seward at the time of reservation. Prepaid dockage
fees will be non-refundable unless a written cancellation is received by the Port a minimum of
fourteen (14) days prior to scheduled vessel arrival. (See also Section I, Responsibility for
Charges, Collection and Guarantee of Charge.)
(6) All estimates of terminal charges are subject to approval and/or adjustment by the Harbormaster.
The Harbormaster shall promptly, after receipt of said estimate, advise the berthing agent as to:
(1) its approval or adjusted estimate of terminal charges; and, (2) whether posting of cash or
security is required for any one or more categories of such charges and the amount thereof.
(7)
An agreement is made to work continuously utilizing not less than day and early night shifts (first
and second shifts) and multiple longshore gangs, cranes, and equipment to the fullest extent
available in accordance with circumstances then prevailing.
Port and Harbor Tariff Regulations City of Seward, Alaska

38
(8) In addition to the terms for berth reservation and establishment of financial responsibility as set
forth herein, requests for berth reservation and assignments of berths shall otherwise be in
accordance with all local rules and regulations established by the City of Seward.
(e) Berth May be Granted Before Payment. For safety or other reasons, the City of Seward, in some
circumstances, may grant a vessel a temporary berth before the owner or agent has paid all applicable
charges or otherwise complied with all applicable tariff provisions or conditions of berthing. In such
circumstances, the vessel may unload its cargo only if (1) the Harbormaster determines that a regular
berth is available, and (2) the owner or agent pays all applicable charges and complies with all other
applicable tariff provisions and conditions of berthing. If no regular berth is available or the vessel
owner or agent does not pay all applicable charges and comply with other applicable provisions, the
vessel may not unload its cargo and shall sail on the next tide. The vessel shall be assessed appropriate
fees as set forth in this tariff.
(f)
(g)
Charges on Vessel Shifting. When a vessel is shifted directly from one wharf or berth to another wharf or
berth operated by the City of Seward, the total time at such berths will be considered together when
computing the dockage charge.
Charges to Assisting Vessels. A single vessel, when actively engaged as a tug boat assisting and made
fast outboard of a vessel loading or discharging cargo, will be accorded free dockage.
NOTE: Tug boats leaving a tended vessel for the purpose of assisting any other vessel shall have waived
its right to free dockage for the entire period of berthing by its tended vessel.
(h) Notice of Hazardous Cargo and Permit Requirement. Notice shall be given to the Harbormaster of any
vessel carrying cargo which is hazardous, extremely flammable, corrosive, explosive or otherwise poses
a significant risk of harm to property or persons at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to landing or use of
docks. The Harbormaster, at his sole discretion, may issue a permit for dock use if he finds that
sufficient precautions have been taken to minimize any potential risks presented by such cargo.
(i)
Dockside Lay Time. Dockside lay time may be allowed as scheduling permits. However, all vessels must
be removed from dockside within three (3) hours of receiving notice from the Harbormaster or his
