CITIZEN COMMENTS ON ANY SUBJECT EXCEPT THOSE ITEMS SCHEDULED
FOR PUBLIC HEARING
Bruce Jaffa, outside city limits, spoke in support of the Port and Commerce Advisory Board
(PACAB) and felt that council rarely acknowledged PACAB's contributions. Potential PACAB
applicants wonder what the point of being on PACAB might be. The city's need for PACAB had
diminished over the years. Jaffa felt the Open Meetings Act was also hampering small committees
by being too restrictive. Lastly, he wished the electric utilities could have been a PACAB topic.
Brenan Hornseth, inside city limits, said he hoped to be re -appointed to the Planning & Zoning
Commission.
June Pemberton, inside city limits, introduced herself to City Council. She hoped to serve on the
Planning & Zoning Commission.

Bruce Jaffa, outside city limits, felt the clerk had addressed some things that needed clarification.
He would like council to consider that no member shall serve more than three consecutive terms
or nine years total. Jaffa spoke in favor of four city residents on PACAB. He did not feel that any
gold pans or wooden plaques were necessary for recognition. He wanted a mechanism for board
members to call for a special meeting. Lastly, Jaffa spoke to the diminished role of PACAB in the
last few years.
[Clerk's Note — Jaffa is the current Chair of PACAB]
Doug Schoessler, inside city limits, had a few minor changes for council to consider. He would
also like to see four of the seven PACAB members reside inside city limits. Under the Powers and
Duties section, he felt "infrastructure" was too vague. He wanted to see it worded as "related
infrastructure." Schoessler made other suggestions for improving the wording regarding the
Powers and Duties section. Lastly, he spoke in support of PACAB dealing specifically with harbor
related issues.
Becky Dunn, inside city limits, thanked Jaffa for all his work with PACAB.

Meeting Date: March 10, 2025
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
Subject: Ordinance 2025-004: Amending Seward City Code Title 7, Campgrounds,
Parks and Open Spaces and Title 11, Paid Parking, to Clarify that Day Use
Areas, Campgrounds, and Other Reservable Areas are Subject to Parking
Enforcement
Background and justification
The Parks and Recreation Department is currently tasked with parking enforcement in municipal
parking lots. Parking limits have been consistently enforced with monetary fines, which has
resulted in less congestion in short-term parking areas and better compliance in long-term
parking areas.
Parks and Recreation also operate city day use areas, campgrounds, and other reservable areas
which have their own compliance issues, specifically individuals parking and camping without
a reservation. Currently, Parks and Recreation have the authority to issue parking violations on
city -owned property and would like to specifically name campgrounds and day use areas as
areas subject to parking enforcement.
Amending City Code to clarify that the City's existing parking enforcement authority applies to
these areas will aid in compliance, lessen the rate at which reserved areas are inhabited by
unauthorized vehicles, and help to ensure city property is utilized according to its intended
purpose.

Dear Mayor McClure:
RECEIVED

OFFICE OF THE
CITY CLERK
Sent via email and USPS mail
The Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council (PWSRCAC) is writing to
advise you that Michael Brittain's term on our Board of Directors expires at the upcoming
May 1-2, 2025, annual meeting in Valdez. Michael Brittain has been your appointed
representative since May 2023.
The dedicated seat for the City of Seward is its opportunity to influence decisions having
profound implications for oil transportation safety in Alaska, and for the state's oil spill
prevention and response capabilities. We greatly value your participation.
The City of Seward is best served by a representative who:
• Understands their organization and/or community, its needs, concerns, and
perspectives.
• Has at least a rudimentary familiarity with oil transportation issues.
• Is a resident of Alaska and has a home and work schedule flexible enough to allow
participation and travel.
• Is committed to our mission of promoting environmentally safe operation of the
Alyeska terminal and associated tankers; and
• Seeks opportunities to foster cooperative and constructive relationships between
citizens, industry, and regulatory agencies.
A PWSRCAC director can expect to devote an average of 20 hours a month on PWSRCAC
business. The full Board conducts three 2-day meetings in January, May, and September
which can be attended in -person or virtually, of which member attendance is tracked. In
addition, annual budget and planning meetings are held, as well as special meetings and
opportunities to participate in committees or special interest work groups. PWSRCAC staff
provides support to board members whenever possible and covers associated travel costs.
Please notify us in writing, no later than Monday, March 17, 2025, of your selected
individual for the City of Seward's next two-year term on the PWSRCAC board. Ideally, this
individual will then be expected to attend our May 1-3, 2025, meeting in Valdez for
confirmation and participation. If Michael Brittain will continue to be your
representative, we ask that you still notify PWSRCAC in writing.
If you have further questions about the PWSRCAC or the responsibilities of its directors,
please don't hesitate to call. Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to the
City of Seward's continued contribution.
Sincerely,
Executive Assistant

Administration:
I made a trip to Juneau with Mayor McClure and Council Member Wells to meet with our State
lobbyists. Among other things, we discussed our Legislative Priorities, and I'm excited to report back on
the trip at our upcoming council meeting. Other projects in the works include emergency action plans
and our utility expansion.
Emergency Action Plans: We are in the process of finalizing our updated EAPs for each site and will
implement those in the next couple of months, including a number of different kinds of drills. This is part
of the implementation of our greater Emergency Operations Plan.
Utility Expansion Work Session: For the work session on Monday, March 24, we will be presenting some
interesting history that we became aware of recently. It will be helpful in understanding why this
situation exists. We will also be bringing back the requested information on different cost scenarios and
possible paths forward.
Harbor Department

The Electric Department has posted an invitation to bid on a canopy structure for the radiators

Re: February Status Report
Dear City Council:
This is our status report covering activity on legal matters worked on during February 2025.
General Matters:
We advised on a public records request for employment files. We advised on amendments
to the PACAB and Historic Preservation Committee enabling ordinances, and ordinances relating
to the City's parking enforcement and alcohol permitting process. We advised on the Pacific
Seafood Lease. We drafted a contract for a medical director for the Fire Department. We reviewed
and commented on the invitation to bid for portable toilet services. We drafted attorney
certifications for two ADEC loans.
Electric Utility:
The Railbelt Transmission Organization had a preliminary hearing on its Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity application. It is working with the state and the only potentially
adverse party on resolving their concerns outside of the RCA process so as to receive a ruling
without the need for a formal hearing.
We continue to aid in negotiations with Chugach Electric on a new long-term Power
Supply Contract.
We also are representing the City in another RCA case concerning the Electric Reliability
Organization, the Railbelt Reliability Council or RRC.
We provided guidance on a billing dispute involving mislabeled meters.
Personnel:
We continued to advise on personnel questions as they arise. This month we continued to
assist with a matter for the Police Department. For most communities, personnel matters tend to
47
Status Report to Seward City Council
March 6, 2025
Page 2 of 2
be a large portion of the attorney's workload. Thankfully, personnel matters in Seward have
required relatively little attention lately.
Planning:
Our office received the Court's order on the City's motion for fees and costs in the
McDonald lawsuit. The Court found Mr. McDonald's pretrial conduct warranted enhanced fees,
and ordered him to pay $10,820.25 in attorney's fees and $250 in costs. Through his attorney, Mr.
McDonald requested an extension to April 1st to pay these fees and costs. We also reviewed and
provided guidance on the proposed PZC rules of procedure.
Port and Harbor:
We continue to assist the Harbormaster in seeking to obtain delinquent moorage fees for a
vessel tied up in a probate dispute. We continue to advise and assist the Harbormaster in renewing
certain leases.
The Court recently issued an order with regard to the Laraux vessel which has trespassing
on city tidelands near the former McDonald property. The vessel has recently been moved and we
continue to monitor the situation.
You can expect to receive our next status report by April 10.
Very truly yours,
MUNSON, CACCIOLA & SEVERIN LLP

City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: March 10, 2025
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Sully Jusino, Finance Director
Subject: Resolution 2025-025: Declaring Its Official Intent to Reimburse City Funds
Used for the Acquisition, Construction and Equipping of Certain Electric
Transmission System Capital Improvements from Proceeds of One or More
Tax -Exempt Borrowings
Background and justification:
On July 26, 2021, the Electric Department delivered a presentation to City Council which
demonstrated the condition of the deteriorating electrical transmission system. In order to address
the critical infrastructure needs, a major capital improvement project was being identified. All
costs for the project, including labor and material, have been identified and evaluated by an
engineer. The project's total cost was estimated to be $17.9 million, including labor.
Finance researched funding sources and determined that a revenue bond was the best finance
option for funding the large project due to its long-term debt structure.
Now, we are in the middle of those infrastructure projects, with a final budgeted determined of
$23 million, including the new Meter Reading (AMR) technology being replaced by Advanced
Metering Infrastructure (AMI), which provides significantly lower operating costs and superior
customer service performance.
On the work session on February 24, 2025, the city council desired to proceed with the application
of a new revenue bond through the Alaska Municipal Bond Bank Authority in the amount of
$9,500,000 million to fund the remainder of the infrastructure projects.
Prior to the approval of our application, the City's Bond Counsel has recommended the City pass
a resolution declaring the intention of seeking reimbursement, for qualifying preliminary project
costs, with bond proceeds for expenses incurred before the bond is issued. The Internal Revenue
Code provides the ability for reimbursement of qualifying preliminary expenditures. However,
any prolonged delay in issuing the bond could result in project costs being solely paid for by the
City without reimbursement. This reimbursement resolution provides a mechanism to allow for
reimbursement of certain costs to be paid with proceeds of the City's tax-exempt bond.

Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Taylor Crocker, Electric Operations Supervisor
Subject: Resolution 2025-024: Authorizing the City Manager to Purchase
Construction Material for the Electric Department for the Nash Road Phase
II Project
Background and justification:
The Nash Road Infrastructure Upgrade Project is a critical component of the City of Seward's
long-term electric system improvement plan. This project will upgrade the final section of 69kV
transmission to 115kV transmission, allowing for the eventual conversion of the entire City -owned
transmission system to 115kV. This upgrade is necessary to support future system growth,
improve reliability, and ensure compliance with anticipated energy demands
A key driver of this project is the Shore Power Substation, which will require a 115kV
transmission feed by the summer of 2027. Without this upgrade, the City will be unable to meet
the power requirements of this critical infrastructure. Ensuring that transmission capacity is
upgraded in time is essential for maintaining reliable service and accommodating future
expansion.
Due to long lead times on essential materials, the City must proactively procure the necessary
infrastructure components well in advance. Specifically, poles, insulators, and a conductor have
been identified as long lead time items required for this project. To secure these materials, the City
solicited bids from the only two suppliers in Alaska that provide these materials. After reviewing
the bids, it was determined that General Pacific offered the most cost-effective pricing for poles
conductors, and insulators.
The total cost for these materials is $378,864.83, with an additional 10% shipping cost of
$37,886.00, bringing the total expenditure to $416,750.83. By securing these materials now, the
City will mitigate the risk of project delays due to supply chain constraints and ensure that
construction can proceed as scheduled.
