The internal city department checklist is quite comprehensive, and the city utilizes OpenGov software to make these internal compliance checks streamlined and efficient. Compliance checks outside the scope of these city departments require the clerk's office staff to manually create a spreadsheet of all applicants and email this document back and forth to the KPB sales tax division. This manual process is tedious and time-consuming and creates frustration with both the applicants and city staff. If a business is not in compliance, it requires us to manually and periodically re -check with the KPB. This ordinance would streamline the process for business applications by focusing only on the internal city compliance checks.

The format was a little different this year — more in-depth presentations on topics and organization on the Kenai Peninsula. A few highlights include In depth Economic Analysis of the Kenai Peninsula by Wink Consulting. One of the interesting facts that came up was that the Seward Bear Creek Area is one of the only areas in the Borough that is shrinking in population and school enrollment. Presentation by Cory Ortiz, the new AVTEC Director. I think that we will be seeing some tangible positive changes from a number of their programs in the near future. There was also an in-depth discussion of the natural gas shortage in Cook Inlet and both short - and long-term strategies to manage that situation. Cassidi Cameron will be coming and speaking to Council on June 23 on the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Harbormaster's Office and South Harbor Uplands Design Charette: On Thursday, April 17 R&M and KPB staff came into town to do a walkthrough of the current harbor facilities and had discussions with the staff on how they use their spaces and what they needed to be more efficient. They also walked the south harbor uplands for future development ideas. Tony Sieminski and Jason Bickling spent the rest of the afternoon having planning and design conversations with that group. We will be bringing the design concepts before council in presentation once they are completed. 46 CMR May 12, 2025 Fire Department • Emergency Responses for the Year 2025: 191 • Fire and Life Safety Inspections 2025: 177 with 103 violations noted • Building permits YTD: 33 with a total valuation of $28,238,014.26 • Fire Marshal Mallory will be hosting a Junior Firefighter camp for kids 7-10 yrs old June 16 &17, sign-up your kids for a fun 2 days of interactive experiences.

We provided legal guidance on process for considering removal of board member. We assisted the Fire Department with a waiver for a summer program. Electric Utility: The Railbelt Transmission Organization was issued a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (Docket U-24-042). Now that it is certificated, the RTO will be able to finalize its tariff application and file before July 1, 2025. We continue to aid in negotiations with Chugach Electric on a new long-term Power Supply Contract. We represented the City in another RCA case concerning the Electric Reliability Organization, the Railbelt Reliability Council or RRC (Docket E-25-001). The docket consisted of the RRC's first tranche of reliability standards which the City has helped develop and will be required to meet if approved by the RCA. We provided guidance on a billing dispute involving mislabeled meters. We provided advice regarding utility bill liens. Personnel: We continued to advise on personnel questions as they arise.

The current forklift has experienced an unexpected failure and has been determined to be economically unfeasible to repair. This critical piece of equipment was inadvertently overlooked during the current budget cycle, necessitating immediate replacement to avoid operational disruptions. In exploring options, the Electric Department considered rental alternatives but determined that purchasing was substantially more economical. With rental fees totaling the purchase price in approximately two years, the outright purchase presents clear long-term savings. The Electric Department solicited quotes from three vendors. Only All Pro was able to provide a Toyota forklift with a three-phase lift capability, uniquely suitable for navigating through the existing warehouse fire door. The selected forklift from All Pro is competitively priced at $43,965.00, representing the best value and compatibility with existing infrastructure constraints. This acquisition is essential to maintain warehouse operations, improve efficiency, and ensure continued reliability in warehouse logistics and inventory management for the Electric Department.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that: Section 1. The City Council authorizes the City Manager to purchase a Toyota forklift for the Electric Department Warehouse at a total cost of $43,965.00. Section 2.
