The area was very important for jeep access in the event of an emergency. On another topic, she noted the two sets of utility bills and was concerned if this dual system was increasing the cost. 6 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes July 28, 2025 Volume 42, Page APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND CONSENT AGENDA Motion (Osenga/Barnwell) Approval of Agenda and Consent Agenda McClure requested a discussion item be added regarding Phil Zimmerman and the Developer Reimbursement Program funds.

Motion Passed Unanimous Resolution 2025-069: Authorizing the City Manager to Purchase a New Can -Am Side -by -Side 9SSA in the Amount of $40,909 and a QTAC EMS-R Patient Mover from MTECH, Inc in the Amount of $5,745 with a 10% Contingency, Not to Exceed $51,319.40 and Appropriating Funds Motion ( ) Approve Resolution 2025-069 Sorensen said that after recent incidents she wanted to bring this item forward for consideration. She clarified this purchase was a combination of the side -by -side with a patient mover accessory. Fire Chief Clinton Crites said there were seven incidents in the past year. The Fire Department's jeep was having trouble driving up and down the Mt. Marathon jeep trail. In addition, the jeep wasn't designed for transporting patients. The side -by -side with a patient mover would be ideal for Seward's rugged terrain. This vehicle also had a plow for snow removal in the winter. Council and Clinton Crites discussed storage, a trailer for towing the vehicle, the risks of driving in the mudflats, and the motor pool budget. Motion Passed Unanimous Resolution 2025-070: Authorizing the City Manager to Accept a Proposal from Metco to Prep and Pave a Portion of Phoenix Road for an Amount Not to Exceed $165,000 and Appropriating Funds Motion (Osenga/Barnwell) Approve Resolution 2025-070 Sorensen explained how Metco's current project in the Hilltop Subdivision resulted in this offer to pave 930 feet of gravel road. The economy of scale resulted in a very good deal for the city. McClure noted it was a reasonable amount of money for this type of project. Council clarified the location of the project on a map. 8 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes July 28, 2025 Volume 42, Page Motion Passed Unanimous Resolution 2025-071: Authorizing the City Manager to Purchase a Backup Pump Replacement with DXP Alaska Pump & Supply, Inc for the Wastewater Lift Station #3 in the Amount of $102,793 with a 10% Contingency, Not to Exceed $113,072.30 and Appropriating Funds Motion (Osenga/Finch) Approve Resolution 2025-071 Sorensen recalled the incident with the lift station pump failing right before the big Fourth of July weekend. This resolution is for the purchase of a replacement pump. Public Works Director Doug Schoessler provided background information on the lift station. When one pump goes down the situation becomes critical. A backup pump is kept in stock for that reason. This was a very important lift station for Seward. Schoessler also provided information on maintenance and repair of the pumps. Motion Passed Unanimous Resolution 2025-072: Approving the Collective Bargaining Agreement Between the City of Seward and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1547 Motion (Osenga/Crites) Approve Resolution 2025-072 Sorensen said this contract would be valid thru June 30, 2029 and reflected an increase in standby pay, clothing allowance, wage adjustments, and pension contributions. This new agreement would help retain and recruit a skilled workforce. Barnwell asked about what the increase would be for the city's budget. Sorensen said for FY26 there will be a $150,000 increase to the budget. These upgraded wages would enable the Electric Department to hire a fourth lineman. Electric Department Manager Brian Hickey explained the apprenticeship program and the pipeline of local involvement. Motion Passed Unanimous Resolution 2025-073: Approving the 2025 Wholesale Power Contract and the Joint Use and Operations & Maintenance Agreement Between the City of Seward Electric System and Chugach Electric Association, Inc Motion (Osenga/Crites) Approve Resolution 2025-073 Sorensen summarized from the agenda statement and noted the five things that she was most excited about: 9 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes July 28, 2025 Volume 42, Page 1. Ensures Seward's electric power requirements will be met on a full -requirements basis 2. Excludes Seward from paying for Chugach's production reserves 3. Allows Seward the option to supply its own gas or generation resources 4. Permits Seward to provide energy and reserves to other Railbelt entities coordinated through Chugach dispatch 5. Includes a fair ratemaking structure that unbundles production and transmission rates in accordance with Commission requirements and Railbelt Transmission Organization (RTO) protocols Hickey explained how city would regain control of the expenditures instead of simply getting the bill. There was also language added that addressed service interruption in Seward, and a specific rate for cruise ships that would match Whittier. Council and administration further discussed the length of the agreement, hydropower, shore power batteries, generators, battery capacity, and the RTO. Motion Passed Other New Business Unanimous Discussion item added by McClure regarding Phil Zimmerman and the Developer Reimbursement Program funds McClure asked administration to clarify an email that council received from Phil Zimmerman about the DRP. Bickling said he had only received notice of the email a couple hours prior to this meeting. He explained the DRP process on the City of Seward side. He asked council for permission to bring forward some options at the next council meeting. Council directed administration to bring back more information regarding the Developer Reimbursement Program and Mr. Zimmerman's development project.

Paid family leave is a proven tool for improving maternal and infant health outcomes, reducing employee turnover, and supporting workplace equity — particularly for women and people of color who are less likely to have access to paid leave benefits in the private sector. The policy will improve recruitment, retention, and morale across city departments, ensuring that Seward continues to attract and retain a strong municipal workforce. By implementing paid parental leave, the City demonstrates a commitment to policies that support Seward's year-round workforce and strengthen the overall economy. Families are more likely to remain in the community and contribute to its long-term stability when supported by employment benefits that prioritize health, caregiving, and economic resilience. This ordinance aligns with Seward's broader goals to foster a family -friendly community and a thriving, sustainable local economy. The parental leave is to be granted to eligible employees in the event of a qualifying life event, such as the birth, adoption, or placement of a child. Leave is granted only upon a qualifying event. It is not earned through service or accrued over time. It cannot be carried forward or paid out upon separation. It is not available unless and until the qualifying event occurs. While GASB 101 requires the accrual of compensated absences that are earned and accumulated, our parental leave policy is event -based and does not meet the criteria for accrual. Therefore, costs will be budgeted in the fiscal year when leave is anticipated to be used, based on historical usage trends. Comprehensive and Strategic Plan Consistency Information This legislation is consistent with (citation listed): Comprehensive Plan: Goal 2.1: Encourage development that supports families and sustains a year- round community. Goal 6.4: Promote the health and well-being of all Seward residents. Parental leave supports early bonding, reduces maternal stress, and improves family health outcomes. 19 Ordinance 2025-012 Strategic Plan: Other: Goal 9.3: Support employment growth through public policy and long-term workforce investments. Objective 1.3: Invest in and retain a qualified, resilient workforce. Objective 2.2: Support community members in achieving economic and social stability. Objective 3.1: Promote policies that sustain a diverse, year-round economy. rtification of Funds Total amount of funds listed in this legislation: $ 0 This legislation (✓): Creates revenue in the amount of: Creates expenditure in amount of: Creates a savings in the amount of: Has no fiscal impact Funds are (✓): Budgeted Line item(s): Not budgeted Not applicable Affected Fund (✓): General Boat Harbor Motor Pool Available Fund Balance SMIC Parking Other Electric Water Wastewater Healthcare Note: amounts are unaudited Finance Director Signature: 3'41- 5"" Attorney Review X Yes Attorney Signature: Not applicable Comments: Administration Recommendation X Enact Ordinance Other: 20 Ordinance 2025-012 Sponsored by: Warner Introduction Date: August 11, 2025 Public Hearing Date: August 25, 2025 Enactment Date: CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA ORDINANCE 2025-012 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, AMENDING SEWARD CITY CODE, TITLE 3 PERSONNEL, CHAPTER 3.45 ANNUAL LEAVE, TO INCLUDE A PAID PARENTAL LEAVE POLICY WHEREAS, the City of Seward recognizes the importance of supporting families through proactive workforce policies that contribute to the health, stability, and economic security of the community; and WHEREAS, paid parental leave is a proven strategy to improve retention, productivity, and morale among employees, and contributes to cost savings by reducing turnover and recruitment costs; and WHEREAS, research from the Prenatal-to-3 Policy Impact Center indicates that paid family leave increases the likelihood that new parents will take time to bond with their child, reduces post neonatal infant mortality by up to 13%, and improves maternal mental health and breastfeeding rates; and WHEREAS, according to the Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) Policy Brief, local governments that adopt paid family and medical leave policies see positive outcomes in workforce equity, particularly for women and people of color, who disproportionately take on caregiving roles and are less likely to have access to paid leave through the private sector; and WHEREAS, on March 7, 2023, the Anchorage Assembly unanimously approved a paid parental leave benefit for municipal employees, offering four weeks of leave within 12 months of a qualifying event, including the arrival of biological and adoptive children as well as the placement of foster children. This policy allows leave to be taken in one -week intervals and adjusts eligibility requirements to provide immediate access upon hire starting January 1, 2024; and WHEREAS, implementing paid parental leave aligns with the City of Seward's goals of supporting a year-round economy and creating a family -friendly workplace culture that attracts and retains qualified employees; and WHEREAS, no liability will be accrued for paid parental leave following GASB 101. Instead, the expense and associated payroll liability will be recognized at the time the leave is taken and paid, consistent with the accrual basis of accounting used in proprietary and internal service funds. 21 Ordinance 2025-012 CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA ORDINANCE 2025-012 Page 2 of 2 NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF SEWARD ORDAINS: Section 1. Seward City Code Title 3 is hereby amended to read as follows (new language is in bolded italics and underlined and deleted language is stricken): Amendment of Chapter 3.45. of the Seward City Code of Ordinances is hereby amended to add Section 3.45.090 and read as follows: 3.45.090 Parental Leave The City Manager is authorized to develop and implement a paid parental leave program, providing paid leave for an employee who is eligible under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) upon the qualifyine birth, adoption, foster care, or legal zuardianship of a child.

Administration believes that the current lift should be replaced before the useful life has been exhausted and has a healthy trade-in value that can be applied towards the purchase price of a new machine to be in the best interest of the city. We recognize the vital role a 50-ton Marine Travelift plays for our commercial vessels and recreational boaters not only within our community but throughout Southcentral Alaska. This not only attracts business to the area but our reliable service is valuable to several local businesses that operate within the area. During a routine inspection it was noted our steering linkage showed signs of wear and has excessive play. Other issues include the blocks while hoisting/lowering a vessel the blocks are moving at different rates and causing the vessel being lifted to twist. Small electrical disturbances have become more frequent in the last several years. We acknowledge the benefit in upgrading to a new lift from a safety and reliability standpoint but also a financial component and the need to replace the lift before costly repairs are needed and the machine continues to depreciate. The Harbor Department intends to purchase a new lift for $619,500 using Motor Pool funds, which includes delivery, assembly, and on -site testing. The overall cost to the City will be reduced by the trade-in value for our current lift.

This model offers nine feet of width variability and can seamlessly expand and retract under full load in 60 seconds. The most important benefit this option will offer is the opportunity to block vessels closer together in order to maximize space previously unavailable because of overall width dimensions on a standard fixed width boat hoist. This means marinas and service yards can maximize valuable service and storage space to serve more customers within their existing footprint. "The variable width machine allows us to utilize otherwise lost space with a traditional boat hoist", said Pete Horner, General Manager at the Los Cabos yard. He also added, "It's a two- fold solution for us as we can continue to grow our business in the same physical footprint and work on more boats at the same time, ultimately limiting customer downtime and maximizing profitability." Additional Benefits of Variable Width The Variable width option can also provide the ability to move vessels through a doorway that was previously not an option with the width of a standard machine sized to fit piers. This would eliminate the need to double handle vessels when moving them in and out of the building. The design allows for handling a wider range of vessels, providing marinas and yards more flexibility to grow into different markets. 23722 NE 192" Way, Woodinville, WA, 980771 19214 PHONE: 866-744-9921 1 www, kendric I'YIARIIIErAIRA Resolution 2025-076 KENDIIICK EQUIPMENT Whether an operator is storing boats indoors for the winter or wanting more space for hurricane storage, the width variation gives them the ability to fit more vessels in the same footprint without the use of yard trailers. This allows the yard to reduce equipment and also makes the operation more efficient when time is of the essence. "The Variable Width Option provides the ability to handle a wider variety of hulls and without any major infrastructure changes. With the ability to vary the Boat Hoist width, you can not only lift wide vessels such as catamarans, but narrower mono hulls as well without exceeding recommended sling angles." — Kurt Minten, Executive Vice President, Marine Travelift About the Variable Width Option This new option is powered by a hydraulic ram, housed within the telescoping top beam, and is assisted by Marine Travelift's Patented All -Wheel electronic steering option. These two components are also teamed with a control loop system that includes angle sensors, a distance sensor, and wheel encoder to keep the machine square and ensure safe expansion and retraction throughout the full range of variability. The Extension and Retraction functions can occur on either side of the machine for flexibility and maximum maneuverability. It is also designed to handle full load across the entire width spectrum and can stop anywhere within the full range of variability, with or without a vessel in the slings. "This machine combines many familiar systems that we have successfully developed and refined over the years: the Patented All -Wheel Electronic Steering system we've been using on Marine Travelift Mobile Boat Hoists and Shuttlelift Mobile Gantry Cranes, sensors/safety systems like the linear transducer and angle sensor have been utilized on our Hydro M_Drive Marina Forklifts, and the knowledge we've gamed from building Hydraulic Transporters with a Variable Width option. We combined these to create a well - designed system that is not only efficient, but also safe - for the operator, the vessel, and the machine itself." — Bob Johnston, Director of Customer Care, Marine Travelift. Rigorous Factory Testing Design goals for this Variable Width Option included Safety, Performance (speed/efficiency), and Functionality. To be certain that this option reached all three goals, Marine Travelift teams performed months of rigorous 23 72 2 NE 192"d Way, Woodinville, WA, 980771 19214 94 Avenue, Surrey, BC, V4N 4E3 PHONE: 866-744-9921 1www.kendrickeauipmentcom IYIARIIIE-C"TRAVELIFT' Resolution 2025-076 KENDIIICK nom EQUIPMENT factory testing that included countless hours of use both with and without maximum load, on different grades, and a mock-up of the end user's existing pier infrastructure. Personnel from Marine Travelift's in-house engineering team, Customer Care Field Service Technicians, Executive Sales, and Assembly Shop Experts all worked together closely with the team at Marine Group Boat Works to be sure all parameters were met and the machine would provide all the benefits they were counting on. Serviceability Making the machine easy to maintain for the customer is a key feature so serviceability was considered at every stage of the design and engineering process. Strategically placed access holes are included to be able to easily get at the hydraulic ram and it rides on tracks inside the top beam so when disconnected it can simply be rolled out for any needed service/repair. In addition, the Expand and Retract functions operate on a greaseless system using high performance composite pads instead of a lubricant that could potentially contaminate the vessel or environment below. These pads are accessible from the exterior of the beam and have a high precision clearance, to ensure no change in the machine's geometry while Expand and Retract functions are engaged. 23722 NE 192"d Way, Woodinville, WA, 980771 19214 94 Avenue, Surrey, BC, V4N 4E3 PHONE: 866-744-9921 1 www.kendrickequiomentcom MARME TRAVELIFT Resolution 2025-076 KE kLNDHICK EQUIPMENT American Built Mobile Boat Hoist Training/Support/Service/Warranty: • Our operator and maintenance training follows the completion of the assembly of the machine.

Key personnel on the project will be Josh Milla, Project Manager and Josh Henrick, General Foreman. See their resumes in section 5. 90 UIELEon ELECTRIC 5?ur,eon LECTRIC Nash Rd Phase 2 115kV Line Construction Work Plan A significant strength of MYR Group is its ability to move qualified supervision, labor, equipment, and tools to support our commitments to customers. Sturgeon Electric Company (SEC) has the full support of the MYR Group. If needed, we can draw from other Sturgeon Electric locations in the west or other MYR Group subsidiaries, such as The L.E. Myers Co. to supplement our SEC team with additional personnel. MYR Group has over 7,000 employees and numerous field employees are Alaska residents even though they are currently working for us in other areas. In addition, we will use subcontractors with whom we have established relationships to perform such tasks as survey, environmental obligations, and Traffic Control. SEC subcontractors undergo a thorough qualification process prior to being selected. The review includes safety performance, operating capabilities, financial strength, references, and interviews with key personnel. Subcontractors' performance is continuously monitored, and they are required to attend all scheduled meetings and report on safety performance and project progress. All our subcontractors are required to work according to our work plan, schedule, standards in safety, quality, productivity, and per all project requirements such as environmental restrictions etc. We have assumed a project start date of August of 2025. Construction Communication SEC understands the importance of community communication on this project. SEC's intention upon award is to reach out directly to all Landowners/homeowners who will be impacted with the construction process. An initial letter will be sent out with a planned schedule and duration of the project. Prior to any work in the area, SEC will door knock and leave a reminder notification one week prior to starting work so the homeowners have plenty of notice and understand what will be taking place. The existing line currently has space rented to Telalaska and GCI. Prior to mobilization SEC will coordinate with both companies and devise a plan to streamline the transfer process. Construction Work Schedule SEC's construction team intends to work a 5-12 schedule. The following IBEW Local 1547 holidays will be observed, and we would anticipate no IBEW work would be conducted: • New Year's Day • Memorial Day • Independence Day • Labor Day • Veterans Day • Thanksgiving Day Construction Plan Sturgeon Electric Company Nash Rd Ph 2 1 91 June 2025 UI on ELECTRIC • Christmas Day Mobilization Strategies Upon mobilization SEC will set up project headquarters at the City of Seward (COS) provided laydown yard on Nash Road. SEC has carefully reviewed all major tasks associated with the Project and estimates the Project will require an average of 10 workers on the job, with peak staffing reaching approximately 15, this includes all subcontractors. Based on this task -by -task review, SEC can break down its anticipated manpower needs as follows: Task Number of Crews Crew Size Material Receiving 1 4 men Construction Access Crew 1 2 men Pole Assembly and Setting 1 4 men CMP/Anchor Installation 1 4 men Wire Crew 2 4 men NTP: 1. 7/22/2025 to 8/19/2025 will include onboarding subcontractors, pre -planning with City of Seward Staff, environmental review with SWPPP filing, and Lane closure permit application. 2. August 25th Mobilization, CMP installation, Pole Framing and Staging 3. August/September 2025 Pole setting, wire work and cut overs 4. September/October 2025, Clean up, Reclamation and Demobilize Management Manpower requirements For this phase of the Nash Rd Transmission line rebuild project, the following support positions will be required: • 1 Project Manager • 1 Superintendent • 1 Safety Supervisor The Project Manager will communicate with Seward Electric, items related to schedule, project status, RFI's, scope changes and forecasting. They will work with project superintendent on scheduling and subcontractor coordination. The Project Manager will generate weekly schedules updates as requested by Seward Electric. The Superintendent is responsible for the overall planning and execution of the work. They will review the requests and disseminate the information to the correct project staff. Having this single point of contact for each project will help prevent miscommunication and ensure timely responses are achieved. The Superintendent will be the direct contact with Seward Electric's Project management team on day-to-day construction tasks. They will work closely with the Project Construction Plan Sturgeon Electric Company Nash Rd Ph 2 2 92 June 2025 UIELEon ELECTRIC Manager to staff the project at the appropriate levels. They will also work with the overall project team to ensure items are in place for the schedule to stay on track. The Safety Supervisor will develop the SSSP and be responsible for implementing, training, and monitoring the crews' performance to the plan. The Safety Supervisor will perform crew visits and inspections to ensure the crews are properly identifying hazards and putting the proper mitigation measures in place to avoid incident or injury. They will also work with the CM and Superintendent to schedule safety training, as necessary. Incentives required Based on our knowledge of other competing work planned during the same time frame, SEC is confident that the Project's location as well as working 60 hours per non -outage work week will attract the necessary work force to complete the job. Subcontractors We will work closely with our subcontractors to ensure they adhere to the project specifications, schedule, and goals of the project and project options. The overall goal is to provide a seamless relationship where Seward Electric views us as one organization with a common goal. All subcontractors reporting to SEC are required to follow or implement the work practices and systems described below while performing work under our direction at any worksite: • Attend safety orientation and kick-off meeting prior to work execution • Monitor employees for substance abuse and report nonconformities • Ensure personnel have required training and competency for work required • Participate in daily safety & construction meetings, job safety analysis or hazard assessments and on-the-job safety inspections • Perform pre -job safety inspections that include equipment • Report all injuries, spills, property damage incidents and near misses • Comply with onsite and all Owner safety rules • Implement SEC safety practices and processes as applicable • Clean up and restore worksite after the job is over • Ensure compliance with regulations always • Undergo post job safety performance review SEC intends to subcontract the following Scopes of Work: (please find detailed subcontractor contact information as well as required resume information in Subcontractor Submittal) Environmental -Midnight Sun Environmental, LLC Pre & Post Construction Survey - Alaska Construction Surveys Traffic Control — Shamman Transportation Plan SEC and its subcontractors will only use approved access routes or points required for the work as discussed in bid documents. During construction all posted speed limits and traffic laws will be observed to help ensure the safety of the project crews, public and environment. Every effort will be made to minimize the number of trips between the designated laydown yard and the project Construction Plan Sturgeon Electric Company Nash Rd Ph 2 3 93 June 2025 UIELEon ELECTRIC right-of-way and only necessary equipment will be utilized to reduce the number of vehicles overall on surface roads. Project personnel in personal vehicles will park at a designated laydown yard and take the appropriate equipment/trucks to the ROW. Disposal Plan The appropriate disposal of project waste will be in accordance with local, state, and federal laws. Dumpsters and other refuse receptacles provided will be designated to accept general refuse, recyclable items, and any Hazardous Materials (if encountered), etc. SEC expects typical waste and or recyclable items to include (but not be limited to): food items, plastic, rubber, crating/shipping material, office waste, metal/steel/aluminum All waste will be handled by a reputable refuse haul - off company and taken to an appropriate landfill or refuse processing facility as required. We have included the disposal of the existing line components such as wood poles, lattice structures, framing, down guys & anchors, and conductor. Safety Plan Site Specific Safety and Health Plan Prior to mobilization we will develop a project -specific safety program for the Project. This plan will be designed to coordinate the safety and health efforts of SEC, our subcontractors, COS, and any other project site visitors consistently. This plan will be submitted to COS for review and acceptance. Contents will include: • Emergency Contact List • Medical Facilities • Evacuation Plan • Policy Statement • Scope of Work Description • Summary of Major Risks o Identification of hazardous conditions & mitigations • Project Organization and Responsibilities o Limitation and qualifications of human resources • Site Requirements • Safety Procedures o Adherence to work rules/safety codes o Protection of public o Protection of SEC employees and subcontractors • Equipment Safety o General Safety rules for equipment o Adequacy of project equipment to perform • General Hazardous Materials Information • Accident Prevention/Reporting Guidelines Training/Orientation • Job -Site orientation — will review SSSP requirements.

THA (Task Hazard Analysis') will be completed, reviewed and signed off by all crew members Incident Management/Incident Reporting • SEC will follow Seward Electrics contract and specification requirements to report accidents, and near hits, using the proper forms and protocol. • Seward Electric's PM will be immediately notified by SEC's Project Manager. • Proper documents will be filed within the notification period stated in the specification. Congested Area Plan: We do not expect a Congested Area Plan for the Nash Road Project. Procurement and Material Management Material submittals, review, approval, and purchase requirements: SEC will provide COS with cut sheets from preferred vendors, if required, for all Contractor Furnished Materials (CFM) to be procured. We have included the OFM dollar amount in our overall Builders All Risk coverage. Material receipt, Inventory Control, and Disbursement Techniques SEC will receive CFM materials and OFM at the above mentioned laydown yard. • Poles — COS Provided Laydown Yard • Conductor — COS Provided Laydown Yard • Framming Material — COS Provided Laydown Yard • All other OFM — COS Provided Laydown Yard All Material will be inspected as it is received and accepted from the Owner or supplier only when determined to be acceptable and in good condition. Quantities received will be checked against material issued lists from OFM and packing lists from the vendor then tracked against the total quantities required. Errors and omissions on the packing list will be noted and reported to the Management. Partial shipments, damage, or other issues will also be reported to the Material Manager. Items that will fit in a locked Connex will be secured as such. Before installation, all material will be stored to prevent damage or deterioration. Dedicated hauling crews will deliver the poles and line materials to the individual sites, and Management will document the material that is taken from the material location sites to the individual field structure sites. The hauling, assembly, and erection crews will be responsible for the line materials at the individual sites and will report missing or defective materials to the Material Manager. The structures, conductor, insulators, and all material will be transported, handled, and installed properly and in accordance with supplier specifications and/or recommendations and COS's specifications to prevent any unacceptable stress, damage to protective coatings, or breakage. SEC and/or our subcontractors intend to utilize the following vendors and/or suppliers — Backfill Materials — METCO CMP — Contech Construction Plan Sturgeon Electric Company Nash Rd Ph 2 5 95 June 2025 UIELEon ELECTRIC Construction Logistics and Methodologies General Approach/Outage Plan/Execution Once on -site SEC will have a two -man crew go out ahead and create access into each structure. They will clear trees, flatten the work area to prep for the CMP crew, while building mat roads on the wetlands where needed. Next a crew will come behind installing CMP's followed by a crew staging and framing poles. The crew will then proceed with spreading the distribution and staging backfill material. Next, we will take the outage on the transmission line and begin setting poles. We will have two crews setting poles, transferring the transmission conductors, and retiring poles. We will be prioritizing the transmission work to minimize the transmission outage duration. Once the poles are set and all the old wire has been transferred, we will pull in the new wire with the old. We will sag and clip the conductor, finalizing the transmission work then release our clearance and reenergize the transmission. At this point the crews will proceed with reconductoring the distribution. Once the new Distribution is installed, SEC crews will transfer and energize the new distribution circuit. Finally, SEC will begin project clean up, ROW stabilization followed by demobilization. Environmental Issues SEC will work with Midnight Sun Environmental to establish an Erosion Sediment Control Plan (ESCP), SWPPP, BMP install and maintenance, and mitigation measures for environmental concerns. We have included hydroseeding in our proposal. Once construction is completed our crew will regrade disturbed areas and install hydroseeding to stabilize the ROW. Potential environmental constraints and areas of concern are detailed below. • Bird Nesting — We will comply with the MBTA and BGEPA re: seasonal timeframes and proximity to working near known nests. • Bear Denning — We will follow the required measures to minimize the potential for interactions with bears that are denning in the area of work during winter (March and April) • Stream and Wetland Crossings - avoidance and mitigation measures will be taken including finding alternate access routes or installing temporary culverts and/or bridges. Landowner Coordination Our project team will also provide support for landowner coordination to support construction activities. A SEC representative will ensure all private landowners are aware of construction activities and the proposed schedule for work. If necessary, we will coordinate with any private landowners to facilitate driveway and road closures. SEC does intend to document all existing Right of Way conditions pre and post construction, this will mitigate any landowner disputes regarding existing conditions prior to construction. Construction Plan Sturgeon Electric Company Nash Rd Ph 2 6 96 June 2025 UIELEon ELECTRIC Construction Survey Our licensed survey subcontractor, Alaskan Construction Survey, will conduct pre and post construction surveys. SEC will locate and protect all survey control and reference points. Alaska Construction Surveys will follow the Accuracy of Data information as found in the project specifications, field notes will be provided to Seward Electric and will contain the required data. Alaskan Construction Survey will establish a new centerline using the City of Seward provided construction information and drawings. It is understood that structure centerlines cannot differ from design locations. Survey stakes will be labeled with new structure number, pole length, class, station and type located at centerline. Anchor locations will be staked at their offset locations, indicating offset distance. The as -built survey shall be directly related to the centerline established by the construction survey including all new and relocated facilities. The as -built survey will consist of all deliverable items identified in the project specifications including a signed certificate from surveyor confirming elevations and locations of construction conform with the Contract Documents. Potential Challenges & Mitigation Plans Opportunities seldom come without challenges, and this project is no exception. SEC has identified several potential project challenges, ranging from environmental to weather, Landowners, and Traffic. SEC has established plans to mitigate the impact of each potential challenge. We are confident in our ability to identify emergent issues during the life of the Project, and to respond quickly in a positive manner Sturgeon Electric Company (SEC) is very familiar with this project. Having completed Nash Rd Phase 1 in 2023 SEC intends to implement knowledge of the site location and implement same practices to ensure a safe and quality product for Seward Electric. SEC walked the project on 6/13/2025 to thoroughly go through the new design for Phase 2 to better understand how to best construct this project. We noted that there is a large discrepancy between actual units in the field and the units identified in the plans and ITB. We estimate that there will be an additional 10% increase in project costs to account for the actual units in the field. During the walkthrough SEC pinpointed four concerns that stood out. The first concern is the existing load on the Spring Creek Substation. The information provided to bidders during the Prebid meeting was that the COS intentions are to utilize the existing distribution feeder from the Fort Raymond Substation to carry the Spring Creek load during the transmission rebuild process. COS staff stated the shipyard was awarded a large project and they will be a large draw on the grid during construction. During our site walk on 6/13 we noted that the existing Fort Raymond Feeder conductor appears to be too small to carry the Spring Creek Substations load. If SEC is the chosen bidder, we would recommend that the COS perform load calculations to see if the Fort Raymond conductor is large enough to handle the extra load. Sturgeon plans to spread the existing distribution to create room for setting the new poles and to move the energized conductor out so we will not be pulling in the new transmission conductor over energized Distribution. This creates the safest work environment for our crews. If the existing distribution is undersized and Construction Plan Sturgeon Electric Company Nash Rd Ph 2 7 97 June 2025 UI on ELECTRIC cannot carry the Spring Creek load, Sturgeon Electric would be willing to work longer hours and more days to minimize the outage time on the transmission. The second concern identified is the standing water and marsh areas from poles TF 1— TF 18. During the preconstruction meeting the COS stated that they will be constructing the new work pads along the swamp and not installing piling as called out on the staking sheets. SEC has factored in swamp matting into our bid. We feel that mating will be a crucial asset to obtain access to the wet structure location, speed up construction and limit the environmental impact caused by the construction activities. SEC intends to utilize 50-60 mats during the construction process. The third concern is the anchors that are called out in the design. Sturgeon feels that the 24" plate anchor will not hold the conductor load in the soil conditions that are present on the project. SEC would recommend installing a 4ft slug anchor instead of a 24" plate and have the contractor import backfill material to the swamp anchor locations. We encountered multiple locations on Phase 1 that required imported fill be added to the top of 4ft and 7ft concrete anchors before they were able to pass the pull test and anticipate this issue to be more prevalent on this phase. Our anchor pricing does not account for imported backfill material for these wet locations. The final concern is Nash Rd is a high traffic area. Our proposal includes the cost for daily flagging on the project. We will have two flaggers and a pilot car. Sturgeon feels that having a high level of flagging present will be required to keep the public and crews safe during construction. We could utilize temporary traffic signals to save costs on the project but felt that having flaggers on site daily would help keep traffic flowing at the quickest rate possible, which will help keep community frustration to a minimum. Our pricing also includes the use of a Highway Message board. Shamman will set up a message board on the Seward Highway north of Nash Road to notify the driving public of the work we will be performing along Nash Road. Wire Pulling Plan Transmission Pull #1: Structure T255 to TF39 Distribution Pull #2: Structure TF 1 to TF 13 Distribution Pull #3: Structure TF13 to TF39 Outage Constraints Wildlife There is the possibility for wildlife interaction in the current ROW. We will follow the SOP measures to minimize interactions with denning bears, nesting birds, and any other wildlife SEC may encounter. Public Safety/Working in congested area In addition to our workforce safety on this project, we also need to be very cognizant of the public's safety while we are working near public areas. The ROW crossing driveways of private residences and business has its set of challenges. SEC intends to mitigate these impacts as much as possible and have constant and open communication with the landowners affected.

The Company will continually review its personnel practices and procedures to ensure that all supervisors and managers are adhering to the Company's commitment to equal employment opportunity principles. Recruitment and Hiring In the recruitment and selection of employees, it is the policy of the Company to further the principles of equal employment opportunity by seeking talented and competent persons who are suited for the position available by reason of education, training, interpersonal skills, and general ability. The Company will make this policy known to employment agencies, personnel, and all recruiting sources used. In all solicitations and advertisements for employees, the Company will use or require the use of specific reference to its status as an "Equal Opportunity Employer," and will indicate its desire to consider both male and female applicants. Promotions/Transfers Promotions within the Company are based on past performance and qualifications to perform additional functions and/or assume additional responsibilities, as determined by management, using objective standards.

This switch plays a vital role in maintaining safe and reliable operation of the electric grid. Failure to repair this component in a timely manner increases the risk of outages and could compromise the reliability of electric service to the community. Southern States, LLC is the original equipment manufacturer of the transrupter switch and the sole source provider for the necessary replacement parts. The City received a quote from Southern States (Proposal No. SF091708-2, dated July 21, 2025) totaling $39,265 for the required components, which include the Int/Driver Assembly, Vanguard Insulator, Hinge Assembly, and Shunt Trip Assembly. Due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and the lack of alternative suppliers, this purchase qualifies as a sole source procurement. The repair is essential and time -sensitive, making it critical to move forward without delay.

The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to issue a purchase order to Southern States, LLC in the amount of $39,265 for the procurement of replacement parts for the transrupter switch.

Pale 4f 2 CMRAugust 11, 2025 City Manager Report Administration Over the past few weeks, there have been some exciting moments of community connection and external engagement in Seward. The Seward Community Library & Museum hosted its annual Garden Party, a lively celebration complete with worm races and salmon dip. Events like these are a great reminder of how the Library serves as a hub of civic life in our community. I also had the opportunity to present to the Seward Rotary Club on the City's recent $45.7 million Clean Ports grant from the EPA. The presentation focused on what this funding will mean for Seward —from modernizing infrastructure and reducing emissions to positioning our city as a leader in sustainable port operations. Rotary members asked thoughtful questions and expressed strong interest in the project's long-term benefits for the community. Looking ahead, we're preparing to host several federal and state legislative visits to Seward in the coming weeks. These visits are key opportunities to advocate for city priorities, highlight recent accomplishments, and continue building strong relationships with our elected partners. At the meeting on July 28, Council requested Administration bring back something regarding the utilities being brought in for the Zimmerman properties so that the pavement would not be have to be torn up. After further investigation, it was discovered that the utilities were already brought in. Hilltop brought in and paid for the water and sewer lines through the Zimmerman lots a couple of years ago as they needed that water loop and sewage drainage for their development. The utility stub outs to the individual properties were put in couple weeks before [we received the request] by Mr. Zimmerman. City code is clear that we cannot reimburse for work already done. We have been working more closely with the Borough Office of Emergency Management (OEM) to improve communication to make sure that we have accurate and up to date information so we can inform and respond appropriately when incidents occur. We are also working on communication within the incident management team (administration, PD, FD). Following the Kamchatka earthquake and Tsunami Advisory, these efforts paid off with better communication and (potential) response on the city's part. The City has been fielding some calls regarding the condition of the dump road. The city is only responsible for maintaining the paved portion of Dieckgraeff Rd. The dirt portion is 115 CMRAugust 11, 2025 the Borough's responsibility. If people have concerns, they can call the Borough Roads Department.

This is the first of two resolutions to facilitate the relocation of Pacific Seafood from the end of Lowell Point Road to the Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC). Pacific Seafood is acquiring all of Polar Seafoods interests in the SMIC and the move would make it easier and cheaper for the upcoming flood control project near the Lowell Point Road facility. This Master Agreement establishes the framework for the various transactions and specifically allows the termination of the Lowell Point Road leases and easements. The Master Agreement also establishes some concepts that staff intend to insert into the essential terms and conditions for a new lease with Pacific Seafood at the SMIC. Notably, the Lowell Point Road leases and easement would terminate by March 30, 2026, except Pacific Seafood would have until October 31, 2026, to remove the Ice House. The Ice House was recently renovated, and the infrastructure can be relocated to the SMIC site. This resolution has no fiscal impact, but the next resolution for the new SMIC leased lots will. City staff and Pacific Seafood are in final negotiations for the new lease at the SMIC, to enable Pacific Seafood to move its seafood processing to the SMIC with a new lease. In essence, Pacific Seafood would lease the same three lots that Polar Seafood leased from the City. Negotiations on the rental rate are still being finalized, which will likely absorb the various benefits and detriments Pacific Seafood and the City are incurring with all the transactions. Pacific Seafood will need to apply for a new seafood processing conditional use permit and will likely apply for a conditional use permit to allow temporary employee housing at the SMIC. Those two permit issues are identified in the Master Agreement but neither the Master Agreement nor the anticipated SMIC lease can dictate the outcome of the Planning & Zoning Commission's decisions. Staff intend to present a resolution for the new SMIC lease with Pacific Seafood at the following City Council meeting. 129 Resolution 2025-074 The Harbormaster and the City Attorney have both been involved with the negotiations and recommend the City Council adopt this resolution.

For and in consideration as described in this Agreement, the City and Pacific Seafood agree to the essential terms as follows: 1. Transaction Documents. The parties agree to execute any and all documents necessary to achieve the following transactions. The failure to timely execute such a document is considered a breach of this Agreement, which may be enforced pursuant to this Agreement. A reasonable time is considered within three months. 2. Lowell Point Road (200-301 Lowell Pt Rd) 2025 Master Agreement: City of Seward & Pacific Seafood Page 2 of 9 135 Resolution 2025-074 a. Lease Termination i. Abbreviated Legal Description: Portion of ATS 174 (Parcel A & B), Seward Recording District, Third Judicial District, State of Alaska, consisting of approximately, Parcel A, 19,756 sq. ft. and Parcel B, 33,572 sq. ft., more or less (Tax Parcel ID 14823009 and 14823010) and appurtenant to USS 1806. ii. Terminate Lease. A 30-year lease was executed in 1991 between the City and Seward Marine Services, Inc, which was assigned over the years. See Recording# 1991-001419-0. That lease expired in 2021. However, a new lease was authorized by Resolution 2022-046. The parties agree to terminate the lease executed in 2022 within a reasonable time of March 30, 2026 with terms substantially similar to Exhibit A attached hereto. b. 1980/1995 Easement Terminations i. Abbreviated Legal Description for Building and Commerce Easement: On ATS 174, adjacent to USS 1806 all in Sections 15 and 16, Ti S, R1 W, S.M., and more particularly described and depicted in Exhibit A to 1980-000939-0, Book 21 Pages 185-186, Seward Recording District, Third Judicial District, State of Alaska. H. Terminate 1980/1995 Building and Commerce easement. In 1980, the City granted a Building and Commerce easement for dredging and for structures, including a dock, warehouse -processing facilities, and related working areas. Book 21 Pages 182-186; 1980-000939-0. The easement was amended and corrected in 1995. Book 79 Pages 631- 636; 1995-001721-0. That Building and Commerce Easement included a reversion clause if the property ceased to be used for certain purposes it reverted to the City. The parties agree to terminate the 1980/1995 Building and Commerce Easement within a reasonable time of executing this Agreement with terms substantially similar to Exhibit A. The intent is to completely extinguish the 1980/1995 Building and Commerce Easement in which the easement holder completely releases the easement back to the City, which means all of the structures, including the dock, warehouse -processing facilities, and related working areas revert back to City ownership; provided, that 2025 Master Agreement: City of Seward & Pacific Seafood Page 3 of 9 136 Resolution 2025-074 Pacific Seafood shall retain ownership and use of the (i) facility and adjacent areas for the remainder of the 2025 fishing seasons and for the storage and removal of all fixtures, equipment and other personal assets until March 30, 2026, and (ii) ice house, including all equipment and fixtures contained within it, which may continue to be operated by Pacific Seafood as a rent-free lease until October 31, 2026, unless earlier relinquished at Pacific Seafood's sole discretion. At any time prior to such date, Pacific Seafood may remove all improvements, equipment, and fixtures from the ice house at any point prior to such date (including the structure itself). To minimize damage to the property after Pacific Seafood vacates, Pacific Seafood agrees to provide written notice to the City when it vacates the property in 2026. iii. 1980/1995 Road and Utility easement to continue. In 1980, the property owner granted the City a public road right-of-way and utility easement in protracted Sections 15 and/or 16, T1S, R1W, Seward Baselined and Meridian and lying within U.S.S. 1806. The Road and Utility easement shall continue as a public right-of-way consistent with the 1980 and 1995 instruments. Because the easement is for a public right-of-way that burdens a substantial amount of the developable property and Pacific Seafood' property interest will significantly diminish upon execution of this Agreement, the Assessor should ensure the value of U.S.S. 1806 is adjusted accordingly especially related to the public right-of-way, the boat dock, the cold storage, the ice house, and the mezzanine areas. 3. Seward Marine Industrial Center leases (3201 Sorrel Rd & 3207 Morris Rd) a. Abbreviated Legal Description: Lot 2 Block 7 of Plat 1997-27 (13,525 sq ft); Lot 2A-2 Block 9 (17,576 sq ft) and Lot 1A-2 Block 9 (36,855 sq ft) of Plat 2021-19, Fourth of July Creek Subdivision Seward Marine Industrial Center, Seward Recording District, Third Judicial District, State of Alaska, consisting of approximately 1.56 acres or 67,956 square feet more or less. b. Terminate 2021 Polar Seafoods Lease. A 20-year lease was executed in 2021 between the City and Polar Seafoods. Recording # 2021-000314-0. The parties agree to terminate the 2021 Polar Lease within a reasonable time of executing this Agreement. 2025 Master Agreement: City of Seward & Pacific Seafood Page 4 of 9 137 Resolution 2025-074 c. Lot 1A-2 Block 9 personal property. Lot 1 A-2 of Block 9, across from the boat ramp, is currently rented by Polar Equipment, Inc. (d/b/a Polar Seafoods), an Alaska corporation whose mailing address is 1035 W. Northern Lights Blvd, Anchorage, AK, 99503 ("Polar Seafoods"), and has a substantial amount of personal property on it. Pacific Seafood agrees to either direct and cause Polar Seafoods to remove and dispose of such personal property, or assume responsibility for that personal property and agrees it will have the responsibility to restore the property to the vacant condition it was in prior to Polar Seafoods' lease; provided, that Pacific Seafood may use such parcel in its own discretion for its own storage of personal property and other legal uses. d. Execute New 2025 Pacific Seafood Lease. Subject to approval by the City Council, the City and Pacific Seafood agree to execute a new lease for a fish processing facility at the existing Polar Seafoods site. The term will be 20-years with two optional 5-year extensions. The rental rate shall be negotiated and determined by the parties in good faith following execution of this Agreement. The rental rate for the new Lease Agreement shall take into consideration the time required for Pacific Seafood to transition its operations from the existing site to the new site; an amount negotiated by the parties describing the value of the remaining improvements; the value of the new leased areas, and any other consideration. To the extent legally permissible and commercially reasonable, the Pacific Seafood shall endeavor to obtain conditional use permits for the erection of temporary employee housing at the new leased premises. Pacific Seafood and the City may discuss the possibility of granting an additional parcel portion to Pacific Seafood adjacent to the new leased premises that is currently being used as a public access roadway. 4. NO ASSIGNMENT OR DELEGATION. No party may assign or delegate any interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties. 5. CHOICE OF LAW, JURISDICTION. Except as provided for in a fully executed exhibit, the Superior Court for the State of Alaska, Third Judicial District at Seward, Alaska shall be the exclusive jurisdiction for any action of any kind and any nature arising out of or related to this Agreement. Venue for trial in any action shall be in Seward, Alaska. The laws of the State of Alaska shall govern the rights and obligations of the parties. 2025 Master Agreement: City of Seward & Pacific Seafood Page 5 of 9 138 Resolution 2025-074 The parties specifically waive any right or opportunity to request a change of venue for trial pursuant to A.S. 22.10.040. 6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, including all appendices and exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties regarding the subject matter of the Agreement and supersedes all previous proposals and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to this subject matter. 7. SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction renders any part of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, that part wilt be severed and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. 8. WAIVER. Failure or delay by a party to exercise a right or power under this Agreement will not be a waiver of the right or power. For a waiver of a right or power to be effective, it must be in writing signed by the party. An effective waiver of a right or power will not be construed as either a future or continuing waiver of that same right or power, or the waiver of any other right or power. 9. POLAR SEAFOODS' SUCCESSOR. Pacific Seafood is a successor in interest and has or will have acquired Polar Seafoods' rights and interests in the improvements and assets located on the parcels subject to the leases between the City and Polar Seafoods at the Seward Marine Industrial Center. If Pacific Seafood does not complete its acquisition of Polar Seafoods' rights and interests thereto and the transaction is not successful, then this Agreement shall be rendered null and void and shall have no legal effect. Pacific Seafood agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City, its employees, volunteers, consultants, and insurers, with respect to any action, claim, or lawsuit arising out of or related to Pacific Seafood's acquisition of the improvements and assets of Polar Seafoods, without limitation as to the amount of fees, and without limitation as to any damages, cost or expense resulting from settlement, judgment, or verdict, and includes the award of any attorneys' fees even if in excess of Alaska Civil Rule 82. This indemnification agreement applies to the fullest extent permitted by law and is in full force and effect whenever and wherever any action, claim, or lawsuit is initiated, filed, or otherwise brought against the City relating to this Agreement. The obligations of Pacific Seafood arise immediately upon actual or constructive notice of any action, claim, or lawsuit. The City must notify Pacific Seafood in a timely manner of the need for 2025 Master Agreement: City of Seward & Pacific Seafood Page 6 of 9 139 Resolution 2025-074 indemnification, but such notice is not a condition precedent to Pacific Seafood's obligations and is waived where the Pacific Seafood has actual notice. Each party agrees and signs below. This Agreement is not effective until signed by all the parties. Each person signing below represents that the person has the authority to do so and this document is a valid and binding contract enforceable in accordance with its terms.

The City would like to retain Ms. Soto's services for the foreseeable future as she has proven to be a tremendous asset to the City due to her strong work ethic, knowledge of the City, and extensive GIS experience. The City contracted for a GIS Needs Assessment analysis in 2021, which described the following in the summary: • A need to have a full-time person dedicated to the tasks of cleaning up from the past and building our GIS for the future. • An articulated need for an accurate and modern GIS system across all departments. • That an accurate, up-to-date GIS system will save the City significant money in worker efficiency as well as ensure accurate information is being used for decision making. The City was significantly behind compared to other municipalities at the time of this assessment. Over the past two years, Ms. Soto has made significant progress in modernizing Seward in the GIS realm. If approved, Ms. Soto would continue to work as an independent contractor with the Community Development Department while providing services for all City departments. Seward City Code dictates contracts and independent contractor agreements last no more than two years, which is why the City is looking to create a new two-year agreement at this time. After two years, the City and Ms. Soto would re-evaluate the agreement and the City's anticipated needs. Ms. Soto worked as a City employee prior to working as a contractor giving her a unique understanding of the City's needs and business processes. She does high -quality work, and her rate provides significant savings for the City. The amount budgeted for this new contract is not to exceed 40 hours per week for 50 weeks per year, at a rate of $80 per hour rate. In contrast, for the past two decades, the City has contracted GIS services at rates between $95 and $130 per hour culminating in a $220 per hour rate that the City was paying for GIS services prior to entering into contract with Ms. Soto. 148 Resolution 2025-075 X Comprehensive and Strategic Plan Consistency Information This legislation is consistent with (citation listed): Comprehensive Plan: 3.2.2; 3.7.1.3 Strategic Plan: Other: Total amount of funds listed in this legislation: $ 160,000 This legislation (✓): Creates revenue in the amount of: Creates expenditure in amount of: Creates a savings in the amount of: Has no fiscal impact X Funds are (✓): Budgeted Line item(s): 7009 contracted services account. $ 160,000 Not budgeted Not applicable Affected Fund (V): General Boat Harbor Motor Pool X Available Fund Balance SMIC Parking Other Electric Water Wastewater Healthcare Note: amounts are unaudited Finance Director Signature: 541 9a4".'

DATED: DATED: ATTEST: Kat Sorensen City Manager Selena Soto Kris Peck City Clerk 154 Resolution 2025-075 GIS Priorities and Ongoing Tasks by Department Department/GIS Priorities Details Timeframe Notes Community Development 1. Map Viewer Compiling all layers into one mapping application. 2-3 months Using the City of Redding's Map Viewer as a template for layers. This can be expanded upon as more information is gathered and added to the map. Two separate maps will be created as one will be for the public to use and the other will be for City staff. a. City of Seward personalized basemap House numbers on buildings and subdivision names on map along with topographic features. 2 months b. Leases layer Have a leases layer with the document attached for staff & public to view Several months (will be working on this in between projects) Depends on how many leases there are and if someone can provide me with a short/concise version of the lease and not the whole file. If l have to cut down the PDF of the lease, could take more time. c. Other layers Short term rentals, building permits, violations, mobile vendors, building height regulations, etc.? N/A Other layers the city is interested in putting on the map viewer so everything is in one place. 2. Parcel Fabric Provides spatially accurate survey lines through COGO. This will help input the easements. This will also help in recording plats in a layer so we can pull those up rather than a PDF in the mastershare. 1 year? The parcel fabric makes it easy to input ROW & Easements so this would be done along with the easements (see below). 3. ROW & Easements Need to have a parcel fabric in place to help establish spatially accurate easement locations. Esri has a solution to implement the ROW & Easements. 1 year? Easements need to be organized and digitized so I can put them into the dataset. We could then add this to the Map Viewer later. 4. GIS Hub webpage & datasets A citywebpage where datasets can be downloaded and used by the public or future contractors. Departments can decide what they would like public and what should not be public before we publish the webpage. 1-2 months Many municipalities/boroughs/states have this open data portal concept that is available to the public. The KPB has this implemented. Departments will need to buy licenses to log into the City Staff Map Viewer. 5. GIS Data Updates /Archiving Otd Data This includes zoning and future land use updates, conditional use permits updates, address/MSAG updates (OpenGov) and any other layer updates. Ongoing 6. Municipal Lands Plan Updates Update maps for the Muni Land Plan. Ongoing 7. Setbacks Creating a layer that shows where setbacks are Several months (will be working on this in between projects) B. Emergency Preparation Map evacuation routes, facilities, etc. Several months (will be working on this in between projects) 9. Code Compliance Dashboard/App Some type of application to help monitor code compliance Several months (will be working on this in between projects) Yellow In Progress Green Project Complete White Not Started Light Blue Ongoing Updates * I will be meeting with Esri **The Parcel Fabric and ROWS are the once I'm finished with the next big projects that are time Map Viewer and GIS Portal consuming, but I will be working on to see how long this project them as l work on smaller projects could take throughout the year 155 Resolution 2025-075 10. Other Custom Maps N/A Electric 1. CAD files to GIS Transferring over CAD files to GIS layers. Field crew will need to go out and ground truth CAD data that has been transferred. 1.5 years to complete Electric department has an ArcGIS plug-in for AutoCAD now and can create layers in AutoCAD that will sync to the GIS layers. **Electric now has their own GIS system and structure. 2. Maintain Electric Group in ArcGIS Online The Electric group in AGOL allows data to be transferred between the two systems. Ongoing The Electric department will send updates quarterly so these new updates can be added onto other maps and stay current (i.e. City Staff Map Viewer), and vice versa. Updates sent to the Electric department will include a Public Works View where Electric staff can see current PW GIS layers, but cannot edit them. Public Works 1. Tracing Analysis for Water This helps trace the water distribution lines so the Public Works department knows what direction the lines are flowing. 1 year? Not sure how long this takes. Depends if the water lines were drawn in the flow direction of the water when inputted into GIS. 2. Update Water & Sewer lines 3. Custom Maps (i.e. Fort Raymond Wells) Fire Department If Public Works cannot get to these while in the field, the as-builts and GIS data can be added to their map. These are smaller maps that Public Works may need for projects (i.e. Fort Raymond Wells) Ongoing Ongoing 1. Tracing Analysis for Water This helps trace the water distribution lines so the Fire department knows which water lines the fire hydrants are receiving water from. (See Public Works above - same task) 1 year? Not sure how long this takes. Depends if the water lines were drawn in the flow direction of the water when inputted into GIS. 2. Heat Maps 3. Fire Hydrants w Heat maps for emergency calls. few days to 1 week, Ongoing Check for updated fire hydrants from PW and Ongoing, quick to do send to Clinton This also includes creating print maps of the hydrants. 4. Building permits layer? Take the active/open permits from OpenGov A few weeks/ongoing every so often and put them in a GIS layer for the public to see. This would have to be checked bi-weekly/monthly to add updates. Library/Museum 1. Historic Walking Tour Story Map Base Story Map off of the Historic Walking Tour. l week if the information is already organized along with Have not spoken to library about this, but some of their museum/historic data could be put into a map for them or the public 2. Other Historic StoryMaps Create more Story Maps that focus on the 1 week if the history of Seward. information is already organized along with pictures Harbor * *Right after the ROWS and Parcel Fabric, this would be the next time consuming project 156 Resolution 2025-075 1. Leases Layer / Updates Work with the harbor (and City Manager's office) to update leases and create a lease layer. This also includes creating print maps for the Harbor. Several months (will be working on this in between projects) Depends on how many leases there are and if someone can provide me with a short/concise version of the lease and not the whole file. If l have to cut down the PDF of the lease, could take more time. 2. SMIC Plan Updates Print maps created for the SMIC Plan. Ongoing 3. Custom maps Examples of this include new maps for ownership in the SMIC area, a print map for the fiber optic cable, oil spills, etc. Ongoing Parks & Rec 1. Cemetery Map Updates Any new interment permits or reservations need to be added to the cemetery map. Pictures of the headstone and obituary are uploaded to the cemetery map as well. The City's website also gets updated with a new image and a pdf of the City's Cemetery within the old Oddfellows cemetery to show which plots are available. Ongoing 2. Custom maps i Maps for races or events can be made for the Parks & Rec department (i.e. Pink Cheeks, Salmon Run Triatholon). Ongoing 3. Evaluate Asset Management Systems for GIS support Under GIS Needs Assessment, pg. 11, it mentions possible GIS support for work orders and maintenance Other Collaborations Outside of City Departments 1. Mural Story Map Collaboration with the Seward Mural Society to create a Mural Story Map based off the established walking tour. Ongoing (waiting on audio from Mural Society) Story Maps are quick to create if the information is already gathered beforehand so this task should take about 1-3 days depending on how much information needs to be put on the map. 157 E-mailed to Clerk's Office July 24, 2025 PORT AND COMMERCE ADVISORY BOARD (PACAB) APPLICATION NAME: Dwayne Atwood STREET ADDRESS: (inside city limits) MAILINGADDRESS: P.O.
