ADJOURNMENT City Council Meeting Agenda December 15, 2025 3 1 P a g e City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2025 Volume 43, Page CALL TO ORDER The Monday, November 17, 2025, regular meeting of the Seward City Council was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Mayor Sue McClure. OPENING CEREMONY Police Chief Louis Tiner led the Pledge of Allegiance. ROLL CALL There were present: Sue McClure, presiding, and John Osenga Robert Barnwell Julie Crites Casie Warner Lori Draper Mike Calhoon comprising a quorum of the Council; and Kat Sorensen, City Manager Jason Bickling, Deputy City Manager Kris Peck, City Clerk Jodi Kurtz, Deputy City Clerk Charles Cacciola, City Attorney Excused — Warner Absent — None PROCLAMATIONS AND AWARDS Small Business Saturday Proclamation was read by Vice Mayor Osenga and accepted by the Chamber of Commerce Director Amanda Sweeting. CITIZEN COMMENTS ON ANY SUBJECT EXCEPT THOSE ITEMS SCHEDULED FOR PUBLIC HEARING Tim McDonald, inside city limits, spoke about the electric utility items on the agenda. He believed the electric utility should be a co-op. The city had tried to sell the utility twice and now was pouring a huge amount of funding into it. The profit from the utility should go back to the customers. The electric utility was essentially a pass-thru business because the city was selling electricity that was being bought from another business. The whole set up felt crooked. 5 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2025 Volume 43, Page Amanda Sweeting, outside city limits, spoke in support of the local businesses and early bird Christmas shopping. She updated council on Chamber of Commerce events and a small business mentorship program. Becky Dunn, inside city limits, thanked the City of Seward for all the public outreach. Dunn explained how the Kenai Peninsula Borough offered tax exemptions for various classifications such as senior citizens and disabled veterans. APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND CONSENT AGENDA Motion (Osenga/Calhoon) Approval of Agenda and Consent Agenda Motion Passed Unanimous The clerk read the following approved consent agenda items: Approval of the October 27, 2025, City Council Meeting Minutes Resolution 2025-112: Supporting Full Funding for the State of Alaska Municipal Harbor Facility Grant Program in the FY27 State Capital Budget in the Amount of $18,186,535 Resolution 2025-113: In Support of Raising the Maximum Available Alaska Department of Transportation Harbor Facility Grant to $7,500,000 for Eligible Projects on an Annual Basis Resolution 2025-114: Authorizing the City Manager to Accept the Proposal from CRW Engineering Inc for Design and Engineering Services for the Elm Street Water Main Replacement Project in the Amount of $78,840 Plus 10% Contingency and Appropriating Funds Resolution 2025-115: Authorizing the City Manager to Accept the Online with Libraries Internet Cost Assistance Program Award from the Alaska State Library in the Amount of $1,242 Resolution 2025-116: Authorizing the City Manager to Accept the Public Library Assistance Grant from the Alaska State Library in the Amount of $7,000 IN -PERSON REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS City Manager Report City Manager Kat Sorensen shared some good news that the city was awarded a grant to bring Narcan vending machine to downtown Seward. She thanked Executive Assistant Kristin Wise for all her hard work on the grant award. Regarding the agenda tonight, Sorensen noted Resolution 2025-114 was fully funded through a loan. She also wanted to acknowledge the three financial reports that were released after the packet deadline. Sorensen provided an update on the Kenai Peninsula Borough property tax and sales tax from Q3 that equaled 1.9 million dollars. 6 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2025 Volume 43, Page Lastly, Sorensen shared a success story about shopping local to quickly put together a black -tie outfit for a gala. Council and administration discussed the financial reports, budgets, salaries, credit card fees to campground users, the Developer Reimbursement Program, the Providence management agreement, and Jesse Lee Home site drilling core samples. City Clerk Report — None City Attorney Report City Attorney Charles Cacciola noted this was his first appearance at a council meeting in Seward. He summarized from the written attorney report in the packet. Other Reports and Announcements — None Presentations — None PUBLIC HEARINGS Ordinances for Enactment Ordinances 2025-017: Approving the Land Use Amendment to Rezone 2500 Laurel Street from a Resource Management (RM) Zoning District to an Auto Commercial (AC) Zoning District and 1000 Hemlock Avenue from an Institutional (Ins) Zoning District to an Auto Commercial (AC) Zoning District Motion (Osenga/Barnwell) Enact Ordinance 2025-017 Community Development Director Daniel Meuninck explained how the previous council meeting set in motion a few dominoes regarding this land swap. Tonight's meeting contained the final steps. He explained the split zoning that would occur when the land swap was finalized. Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. No one appeared and the public hearing was closed. Motion Passed Unanimous Resolutions Requiring Public Hearing Resolution 2025-107: Authorizing the Disposal of City Property Near 1000 Hemlock Avenue and The Acquisition of Privately -Owned Property Near 2405 Seward Highway for a Land Exchange Motion (Osenga/Calhoon) Approve Resolution 2025-017 7 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2025 Volume 43, Page Meuninck said this resolution was the last piece of the land swap puzzle. The utility allocation, the plat, and the rezone had already been approved, and he sure hoped this one would pass. This resolution would make the land swap official. Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. Tim McDonald, inside city limits, wanted to know what the basic terms were of this land swap. He wanted more information. No one else appeared and the public hearing was closed. Sorensen explained some of the terms in the swap of acreage and how no funds were being transferred. It was a win -win situation. Motion Passed UNFINISHED BUSINESS Resolutions Unanimous Resolution 2025-104: Authorizing the City Manager to Accept the Proposal from SEL Engineering Services Inc and Northern Powerline Constructors Inc for the Spring Creek Substation Rebuild Project in an Amount Not to Exceed $5,381,452.38 Motion (Osenga/Draper) Approve Resolution 2025-104 Sorensen said this price tag included a 30% contingency and was an essential piece to the infrastructure upgrades. There had been questions about the necessity of converting from 69 kV to 115 kV. However, it was worth the upgrade for future growth. In 10-15 years, any power generation project would require the 115 kV upgrade. This update would also meet the standards of the Railbelt Transmission Organization. Electric Operations Supervisor Taylor Crocker added that this resolution for the Spring Creek Substation included the $850,000 control building. He thought the city received a very good proposal from SEL Engineering that was mindful of the city's budget. Barnwell wanted more information on the poor condition of this particular substation to help visualize why the rebuild was so essential. Crocker described the current conditions of the substation and how he planned to rehabilitate the whole thing. With these upgrades, the city would be in good shape for the next 50 years across the bay. Draper thanked the administration for putting together the laydown on the history of the project. 8 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2025 Volume 43, Page Calhoon proposed an amendment in Section 2 to strike: It will be appropriated through the City's last infrastructure bond scheduled for possible issuance by the end of May 2026, and/or other financing funding. Council and administration discussed internal loan and funding options. Osenga said removing that line would give more options, rather than add more restrictions. Calhoon explained that the future of the utility was unknown. He wanted more than enough funds available without bonding it. He didn't want the city to be tied to bond payments. He wanted to make payments to ourselves with interest. Resolution 2025-104 was amended in Section 2 to strike: Main Motion as Amended Passed Unanimous Council recessed the meeting at 7.•53 p.m. Council resumed the meeting at 7: 59 p.m. NEW BUSINESS Resolutions Resolution 2025-108: Authorizing the City Manager to Accept the Proposal with CRW Engineering Group to Engineer and Design Infrastructure to Disinfect Effluents from the Lowell Point and Spring Creek Wastewater Treatment Facilities in an Amount Not to Exceed $665,600 and Appropriating Funds Motion (Osenga/Calhoon) Approve Resolution 205-108 Public Works Director Doug Schoessler explained that the Department of Environmental Conservation [DEC] required disinfection on both lagoons. It was an unfunded mandate, and after several discussions with DEC, the state revolving fund was used to pay for the design and engineering. The $665,600 would also be forgiven. Lastly, Schoessler noted that CRW has great track record working on projects in Seward. Sorensen thanked Schoessler and his team for finding funding options for these unfunded mandates. Barnwell confirmed this covered both Spring Creek and Lowell Point facilities. Schoessler explained how the two different facilities were handled. Motion Passed Unanimous 9 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2025 Volume 43, Page Resolution 2025-109: Authorizing the City Manager to Add the Position of Apprentice Lineman in the Electric Department and Enroll that Position in the Alaska Joint Electrical Apprenticeship & Training Trust Program Motion (Osenga/Calhoon) Approve Resolution 2025-109 Crocker said the City of Seward has gone two years without the Journeyman Lineman position being filled. This resolution included a new hybrid program where the city would be paying for the schooling. Along the way the apprentice would work for other electrical companies and accumulate the required 8,000 hours of experience returning to Seward. If the apprentice decided not to return to Seward, they would have to pay back all funds spent on their schooling. Crocker had received six phone calls already from interested applicants. He hoped council passed the resolution because a Journeyman Lineman is one of the best jobs a person could ever have. Council and administration discussed the classification of the new position, the perpetuity of the apprenticeship program, and if other utilities would be paying the apprentice. Motion Passed Unanimous Resolution 2025-110: Authorizing the City Manager to Allocate Funds for the Mount Marathon Hydro Plant Rehabilitation Project in the Amount of $400,000 and Appropriating Funds Motion (Osenga/Calhoon) Approve Resolution 205-110 Crocker noted he had to re -format his spreadsheet for the council packet and it was missing a few details. His basic idea was to buy parts that were currently being auctioned off at a very low prices. This resolution would authorize him to buy the parts that were needed to complete the hydro project as cheaply as possible. Council and Crocker discussed the annual savings, historical water flow data, and a gear reduction box. Motion Passed Unanimous Resolution 2025-111: Authorizing the City Manager to Renew the Management Agreement with Matanuska Electric Association to Provide for the Electric Department Operations in an Amount Not to Exceed $950,000 and Appropriating Funds Motion (Osenga/Draper) Approve Resolution 205-111 Sorensen spoke to the success of the current management under MEA. The manager Brian Hickey and supervisor Taylor Crocker were doing an excellent job. Both of these positions were impossible to hire under our current pay scale. These positions were defunded in the budget in order to create the agreement with MEA. The proposed renewal continues the agreement for one year with option for extensions. Sorensen also noted the funding was not necessarily going to be spent to the maximum. 10 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2025 Volume 43, Page Overall, this renewal maintains stability and supports long term planning efforts with the Electric Department. Council and administration discussed full-time positions and if there was a need for Hickey to be a full-time status. Sorensen noted that Hickey spent around 12 hours a week participating in various electric utility meetings on behalf of Seward. Motion Passed Unanimous INFORMATIONAL ITEMS AND REPORTS Upcoming City Council Meetings Regular Meeting on Monday, December 15, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. [This will be the only City Council Meeting held in December] Other Items Providence Quarter 3 Report City of Seward Quarter 3 Financial Report City of Seward Central Treasury Report CITIZEN COMMENTS Tim McDonald, inside city limits, thanked council for bringing forth the reality that the city might not own the electric utility in the near future. He thought the contract with MEA was intended to be temporary and questioned why it was being extended. He would rather see full-time city employees being trained in these electric utility positions. On another topic, McDonald remained concerned about the sewage lagoon discharging into the bay. He wanted more testing done on chemicals in the water. The steady decline of quality and quantity of fish over the years was a result of the sewage and chemicals in the bay. Becky Dunn, inside city limits, reminded everyone about a residential tax exemption with the Kenai Peninsula Borough before the end of the year. She advised on which KPB offices would be able to help with the filing process. Lastly, she mentioned the Chamber of Commerce newsletter report about best practices in the tourism industry. COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION COMMENTS & RESPONSE TO CITIZEN COMMENTS Sorensen noted the city tree lighting ceremony would be held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. She heard Santa would be there with cookies and hot cocoa. There might even be a special appearance from the Grinch. 11 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2025 Volume 43, Page Draper was excited to be on the city council. All the city employees and community members had been so welcoming and supportive. She enjoyed the facility tour with the Public Works Director. She recalled the Mt. Marathon hydro project being on the Community Hospital Board project list back in the 1970s. Lastly, she noted the Kenai Crewsers Rowing Club would be hosting the Seward Holiday Arts & Crafts Fair. Calhoon welcomed Council Member Draper to the fold. He noted Thanksgiving is coming up and noted the community meal and other food services that will be provided by the American Legion. He also explained the American Legion's Operation Apple Pie which sent gift packages out to locals who were actively serving in the military. Calhoon noted the MEA contract was the best option the city had right now due to the utility's future being up in the air. Brian and Taylor would likely not apply for a job for a utility that's up in the air. Lastly, Calhoon supported free speech, but encouraged public comments to be less derogatory and more open to a friendly discussion. He wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Crites thanked everyone who spoke tonight. She thanked Doug Schoessler and Taylor Crocker for all their hard work on the resolutions. She announced an upcoming Fire Department chili cookoff and everyone was invited. Barnwell welcomed Draper to City Council. He echoed Calhoon's comments in support of the MEA contract. The Electric Department was in good hands with Crocker and Hickey. They had great energy and were creative thinkers. Lastly, he thanked Doug Schoessler for obtaining these important grants. Osenga welcomed Draper and Calhoon to the dais. He encouraged people to participate in Small Business Saturday. He wished everyone an awesome Thanksgiving and to be careful in the wintry weather. McClure welcomed Draper to the City Council. It was nice to have all the high school students in attendance from the government class. The group got their photo taken with the Mayor during the recess for extra credit. McClure announced upcoming community events and concerts. She thanked Becky Dunn for the information on the KPB tax exemptions. Lastly, she encouraged everyone to be cautious while driving and watch out for bikers. Calhoon mentioned the Day with Santa event at the American Legion. Sorensen added that immediately prior to that event is Rotary Club Breakfast with Santa in conjunction with Parks & Recreation Department. Draper mentioned the events were coordinated so the kids could attend both. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 8:43 p.m. 12 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2025 Volume 43, Page Kris Peck Sue McClure City Clerk Mayor (City Seal) 13 RESOLUTION 2025-123 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ACCEPT FUNDS FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA PACIFIC COD FEDERAL FISHERY DISASTER RELIEF THROUGH THE PACIFIC STATES MARINE FISHERIES COMMISSION IN THE AMOUNT OF $9,438.15 Documents: • Agenda Statement • Resolution 2025-123 • Attachments: o Award Letter 14 City Council Agenda Statement Meeting Date: December 15, 2025 To: City Council Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager From: Tony Sieminski, Harbormaster Subject: Resolution 2025-123: Authorizing the City Manager to Accept Funds from the Gulf of Alaska Pacific Cod Federal Fishery Disaster Relief through the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission in the Amount of $9,438.15 Background and justification: The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission has played a role in managing and conserving fishery resources along the West coast and Alaska for decades. In a letter dated October 14, 2025, we were informed that Seward was eligible to receive funds from the Gulf of Alaska Pacific Cod Federal Fishery Disaster Relief for Communities/Borough through the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. Payments to municipalities/boroughs were for communities affected by the disaster between 2015-2020 where the pacific cod fishery makes up a significant share of local budgets. This payment is based on the state's 3% fishery business tax on shore -based landing and split between other communities and boroughs that were also eligible to receive these funds. The Harbor intends to use these funds to make much needed repairs to the fish cleaning stations located within the facility.

These entities were affected by the disaster because fishery income makes up a significant share of local budgets supporting education, public works, and port operations. The state's 3% Fishery Business tax on shore -based landings is split equally between the state and the municipalities or boroughs where landings occur; if both applied, revenues are divided 50/50 between them. To qualify, communities had to: 1. Show GOA Pacific Cod landings in 2020 or in three of five years from 2015-2019. 2. Have GOA Pacific Cod landings exceeding 10,000 pounds in at least three of six years from 2015- 2020. 3. Have 2020 GOA Pacific Cod landings below their 2015-2019 average. Funds were distributed proportionally to each community's share of total losses. If represented by both a municipality and a borough, funds were split evenly. Eligible landings occurred in: • Kodiak and Kodiak Island Borough • City of Whittier • City of Seward, City of Homer, and Kenai Peninsula Borough • City of Cordova • City of Unalaska/Dutch Harbor • City and Borough of Juneau • City of Sand Point, City of Akutan, City of King Cove, and Aleutians East Borough The CITY OF SEWARD is eligible for a one-time payment of $9,438.15.

The local government has 60 days to protest your application per 3 AAC 306.060. 40 At the May 15, 2017 Marijuana Control Board meeting, the board delegated to AMCO Director the authority to approve renewal applications. However, the board is required to consider this application independently if you have been issued any notices of violation for this license, if your local government protests this application, or if a public objection to this application is received within 30 days of this notice under 3 AAC 306.065. If AMCO staff determines that your application requires independent board consideration for any reason, you will be sent an email notification regarding your mandatory board appearance. Upon final approval, your 2025/2026 license will be provided to you during your annual inspection.

Please feel free to contact us through the marijuana.licensing@alaska.gov email address if you have any questions. Dear Local Government: AMCO has received a complete renewal application and/or endorsement renewal application for a marijuana establishment within your jurisdiction. This notice is required under 3 AAC 306.035(c)(2). Application documents will be sent to you separately via ZendTo. To protest the approval of this application pursuant to 3 AAC 306.060, you must furnish the director and the applicant with a clear and concise written statement of reasons for the protest within 60 days of the date of this notice, and provide AMCO proof of service of the protest upon the applicant. 3 AAC 306.060 states that the board will uphold a local government protest and deny an application for a marijuana establishment license unless the board finds that a protest by a local government is arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable. If the protest is a "conditional protest" as defined in 3 AAC 306.060(d)(2) and the application otherwise meets all the criteria set forth by the regulations, the Marijuana Control Board may approve the license renewal, but require the applicant to show to the board's satisfaction that the requirements of the local government have been met before the director issues the license. At the May 15, 2017, Marijuana Control Board meeting, the board delegated to AMCO Director the authority to approve renewal applications with no protests, objections, or notices of violation. However, if a timely protest or objection is filed for this application, or if any notices of violation have been issued for this license, the board will consider the application. In those situations, a temporary license will be issued pending board consideration. If you have any questions, please email amco.localgovernmentonly@alaska.gov.

This notice is required under 3 AAC 306.035(c)(2). Application documents will be sent to you separately via ZendTo. To protest the approval of this application pursuant to 3 AAC 306.060, you must furnish the director and the applicant with a clear and concise written statement of reasons for the protest within 60 days of the date of this notice, and provide AMCO proof of service of the protest upon the applicant. 3 AAC 306.060 states that the board will uphold a local government protest and deny an application for a marijuana establishment license unless the board finds that a protest by a local government is arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable. If the protest is a "conditional protest" as defined in 3 AAC 306.060(d)(2) and the application otherwise meets all the criteria set forth by the regulations, the Marijuana Control Board may approve the license renewal, but require the applicant to show to the board's satisfaction that the requirements of the local government have been met before the director issues the license. At the May 15, 2017, Marijuana Control Board meeting, the board delegated to AMCO Director the authority to approve renewal applications with no protests, objections, or notices of violation. However, if a timely protest or objection is filed for this application, or if any notices of violation have been issued for this license, the board will consider the application. In those situations, a temporary license will be issued pending board consideration. If you have any questions, please email amco.localgovernmentonly@alaska.gov.

The turnout was fantastic, and the holiday cheer throughout town has been spectacular this year. Thank you to everyone who helped set up, organized activities, and made the evening possible. It's always one of my favorite community moments of the year. This month I presented an overview of the shore power project to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly, highlighting the benefits to Seward's port, our utility, and the broader region. For anyone looking for more information, we now have a public project page at SewardShorePower.com. We also hosted a stakeholder meeting in Seward on December 12, which brought together partners for a productive discussion as we move into the next phase of work. Jason and I attended the Alaska Municipal League conference. The highlight for me is connecting with other municipal managers and hearing what challenges they're facing, what's working well, and how we can continue improving our own operations here in Seward. Harbormaster Tony and I also met with the design team for the new Fast Response Cutter Frederick Mann on December 3. This was their second site visit and included both the Project Manager and Construction Manager. They shared an updated timeline of awarding the RFP in 2026, beginning construction in 2027, and completing the project in 2029. Tony has more information in his report below. Jason has been meeting with the Providence Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, Kyle Haskins, on a regular basis to improve coordination efforts for emergency planning. Mountain Haven is the City's secondary EOC location and we are working to make sure it is more plug and play if the city needs to activate it. He also participated in a Tabletop Exercise with Providence Staff. As a preview for the January 12th Meeting, on the agenda will be the 2026 Tariffs, 2026 Legislative Priorities, 2026 Fee Schedule, and 2026 P&Z Priorities. The City's lease of the gun range property expires March 31, 2026. We have begun the process of renewing that lease with the Borough, which takes about 60-90 days. We will also be reviewing the Conditional Use Permit by Iron Mountain Gun Club. 48 Community Development Staff is currently meeting with each of the City Departments to document what each department would like to see prioritized in the updated Comprehensive Plan. A reminder that the Developer Reimbursement Program application can be found on the Community Development website: Application Forms I Seward, AK Last and certainly not least, Community Development is proud to congratulate itself on winning this year's door decorating contest. It was a dominant victory. Planning and Zoning Commission The Commission held a regular meeting on Tuesday, December 2nd. Six resolutions were on the agenda, and the results are listed below: The Commission passed Resolution 2025-034 recommending Kenai Peninsula Borough approval of the preliminary plat of 516 and 518 First Ave, vacating the interior lot line and creating one lot to be known as Lot 29A, Block 27, Seward Original Townsite Budd Replat. The Commission passed Resolution 2025-035 granting a conditional use permit to The Tufted Puffin LLC to operate a drive-thru window to sell retail cannabis products and non - cannabis food and beverage items from their business located at 408 Port Avenue within an Auto Commercial (AC) Zoning District. The Commission passed Resolution 2025-036 granting a conditional use permit to Pacific Seafood — Seward, LLC to operate a seafood processing plant at 3201 Sorrel Road within an Industrial Zoning District. The Commission passed Resolution 2025-037 granting a conditional use permit to Pacific Seafood — Seward, LLC to operate an employee campground at 3207 Morris Avenue within an Industrial Zoning District. The Commission passed Resolution 2025-038 granting a conditional use permit to Valerie Bradshaw to operate a hotel at 300 Washington Street within a Central Business (CB) Zoning District. The Commission passed Resolution 2025-039 granting a conditional use permit to Grace Group Properties 1 LLC to construct and operate a hotel on the property located at 313 and 315 Fourth Ave within a Central Business (CB) Zoning District. The Commission agreed to their meeting and work session dates for 2026. Those dates are on the Planning and Zoning Commission's page of the City's website. The Tuesday, December 16th work session will be dedicated to determining the Commissions priorities for 2026. 49 Finance As required by the Seward Municipal Code 6.05.010, the following purchase orders between $5,000 and $30,000 has been approved by the City Manager since the last council meeting: Department Order Date Vendor Description Amount MIS 12/04/2025 DELL MARKETING LP _ib and Cos Replacements 12,928.36 The City is modernizing a new Purchasing Card (P-Card) program designed to improve payment efficiency and generate additional revenue. As part of this program, the City will receive a 1.50% rebate once annual P-Card spending reaches $750,000. This rebate structure provides a direct financial benefit to the City by returning a percentage of our operational spending, while also reducing processing time, minimizing check -handling costs, and ensuring more timely payments to vendors. Many municipalities also leverage rebate incentives to capture additional revenue from routine operational spending, often reinvesting these funds into general operations, technology upgrades, or departmental support. As we transition more eligible purchases to the P-Card system, we expect to meet the spending threshold and begin earning rebates that can be redirected to support City priorities. Finance will continue to monitor usage and provide periodic updates to the Council on progress and annual rebate totals. The City is moving forward with implementing Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment capabilities to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and security of our accounts payable process. The city is working with Paymentworks and Wells Fargo on this transition, providing fraud prevention and automated vendor management, as well as a $2M fraud indemnification. ACH payments are widely used across municipalities and public agencies as a best - practice method for issuing vendor payments. They allow organizations to replace paper checks with secure electronic transfers, reducing processing time, minimizing the risk of check fraud, and lowering administrative and mailing costs. Many governments have adopted ACH as a standard tool to modernize financial operations and improve vendor service. Finance staff will begin vendor onboarding and internal testing in the coming weeks. We will provide updates to Council as ACH usage expands and full implementation is completed. The Finance Department are beginning a comprehensive effort to strengthen the City's long-term stewardship of vehicles, equipment, and infrastructure through the development of an Asset Management Program (Sage) and a detailed Motorpool Fund analysis. As part of this effort, staff will also conduct an in-depth review of the Motorpool Fund, including its current financial structure, replacement schedules, cost -allocation 50 methodology, and long-term sustainability. Finance will provide the council with updates in preparation for our next budget cycle. Finance Staff attended the AGFOA Conference in Anchorage from December 8-12, bringing back valuable training and insights to support best practices in municipal finance. Two positions are currently open within Finance: Accounting Technician III and Utility Billing Specialist. These roles are essential to supporting daily operations, customer service, and the year-end workload. The City is excited to announce that work is underway on our first -ever Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR), with a planned digital release by the end of the year. This new publication is designed to present the City's financial information in a clear, concise, and visually accessible format that is easier for the public to understand. Electric Department Electric Utility Town Hall - December 10th The Electric Department will be hosting our next Electric Utility Town Hall Meeting on Wednesday, December 10th from 5:30-7:30 PM. The meeting will be held via Zoom, with a public watch party in the City Council Chambers for those who prefer to join in person. This session is the second in our four-part series discussing the future of Seward's electric utility and will focus on the option of joining an existing Railbelt Electric Cooperative. Mt. Marathon Hydroelectric Plant Open House - December 9th We will be holding a public Open House at the Mt. Marathon Hydroelectric Plant on Tuesday, December 9th from 5:00-7:00 PM. Community members are invited to tour the plant, view historical photos and drawings, and learn about the rehabilitation work now underway to bring the facility back into reliable operation. Light refreshments will be provided. Spring Creek Substation Rebuild - Engineering Underway Engineering efforts have officially begun for the Spring Creek Substation rebuild, an important phase of our long-term transmission and reliability upgrade plan. We anticipate completing design work over the next year and are targeting a construction start in fall 2026. 51 Harbor/ SMIC Harbor No major incidents have been reported within the Harbor area. New Year, New You. This is a great time and opportunity to dip your toe into one of the many Boards and Commissions within the City of Seward. PACAB currently has two vacancies. The temperature has been unseasonable warm and wet but expected to drop in the coming week. We would like to remind our users to do a system check on their vessels, check on their vessels regularly and/or have a local boat watch in place. The 50-ton lift saw 3 lifts for the month of November. Status on leases/Permits - AT&T lease renewal —first draft is still under their review, Jag lease extension — is under their review and look forward to seeing that move forward, one new lease within SMIC area is being discuss and working through permitting/paperwork. The City Manager and I met with the Design team for the new FRC Frederick Mann on 12.3. This was their second site visit but included the Project Manager and Construction Manager. After their first site visit in January, they had concerns about funding to complete this project, unsure if/when this project would come to fruition and a timeline of several more years. The introduction of The One Big Beautiful Bill this has provided full funding is now being pushed forward at "pretty face pace for this project". The updated timeline provided is to award the RFP in 2026, start construction in 2027 and to be completed in 2029. We are thrilled to hear this new and welcome CG back to Seward. This is an exciting time for not only Seward but all of Alaska. SMIC No major issues have been reported within the SMIC area. North Dock has a few more on the schedule for 2025.

The program, including Public Works also gave information and photos of recent repairs concluding with an update on the new tunnel plans and status. The meeting was well attended and had interesting participation from the audience. We have been requested to schedule a repeat if the group can possibly set aside time soon. The library boiler system finally seems to be fixed and running well. The fuel boiler(blue) is back online and the electric boiler to the right is once again the backup unit for the system. With the lack of snow, Public Works groups are catching up on minor projects and preventative maintenance tasks. The Street Department has been keeping roads sanded as needed and clearing falling rocks during all hours and weekends. The Water/Wastewater Department received another accolade from the Alaska Rural Water system. We were awarded the 2025 Source Water System of the Year!

The Lawing Substation, originally constructed in the 1970s, requires a full rebuild to meet 115kV design standards and integrate with the system upgrades planned at the Ft. Raymond and Spring Creek Substations. Electric Power Constructors (EPC) submitted a proposal dated August 19, 2025, for the Lawing Substation Rebuild Project at a total cost of $4,274,988.18. EPC's proposal includes site preparation, structural and electrical installation, foundations, grounding, bus work, and fencing, and has been sequenced to ensure continued power delivery during construction. The proposal also includes coordination for reconfiguring the Ft. Raymond Substation to 115kV to support the Lawing Substation cutover. The City will separately procure a control building estimated at $850,000, bringing the total projected cost to $5,124,988.18. To account for contingencies and any material price fluctuations, staff recommends authorizing a not -to -exceed amount of $5,200,000. This project is critical to maintaining the construction schedule for the 115kV Shore Power Substation, slated for completion in 2027, and is a major milestone in modernizing Seward's electric infrastructure to support economic development, port electrification, and renewable integration.

The current AMR meters, acquired from the City of Kodiak in 2018 at no cost, were already approximately fifteen years old at installation and are now approaching or exceeding their expected twenty-year service life. These aging devices lack the advanced capabilities needed to support modern grid operations, customer transparency, and accurate system data collection. To modernize the system and improve customer service, the City of Seward issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a new Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system. The Electric Department partnered with Util-Assist to conduct a thorough and impartial evaluation of all proposals received. Three manufacturers submitted complete proposals. After extensive scoring, technical review, pricing evaluation, and experience comparison, Landis+Gyr was determined to be the best overall fit for Seward's needs. Landis+Gyr's AMI platform provides significant enhancements over the existing metering system, including remote meter reads, improved outage detection capabilities, and increased accuracy and transparency in electric consumption data. The AMI system will also enable customers to better understand and manage their usage, while giving the Electric Department a more robust dataset to support system planning, load forecasting, and future rate analysis. The proposed Landis+Gyr solution includes AMI meters, network equipment, and the software needed to operate and manage the system for years to come. The total project cost is $766,389, well under the original $1.2 million estimate.

For each piece of hardware proposed by the Proponent, state or provide documentation of the device's operating condition tolerances, as well as what issues can be expected in certain weather conditions, and the issues' suggested mitigation measures or resolutions. Specific details should include: - Resilience to heat, sunlight / UV, high humidity and rapid changes in humidity - Resilience to cold temperatures and rapid changes in temperature - Resilience to salt exposure - What the Meter and Solution do when a Meter or other device suffers a failure from environmental conditions, and what the hardware or Utility personnel can do to try and restore a failing device - Protection/responses to Meter glass and LCD issues that make the Meter visually unreadable, including LCD fading or failure from sunlight, glass clouding/hazing from light or condensation, etc. Ld„u„+Gyr Response: All proposed hardware is designed and tested to withstand the full range of weather and climate conditions expected in the Utility's service territory, ensuring minimal or negligible degradation in performance over the device's service life. Resilience to Heat, Sunlight/UV, High Humidity, and Rapid Changes in Humidity: • Meter enclosures are NEMA-4 rated and weather-proof, with operating ranges from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable operation in extreme heat and humidity. • For environments with high humidity, salt, and solar loading (such as coastal or island regions), devices are designed to meet industrial temperature ratings and have demonstrated robust performance through field experience and accelerated life testing. Resilience to Cold Temperatures and Rapid Changes in Temperature: • All network and metering devices operate reliably from -40°F to +185°F (network gateway, router, IWR, load control switch, network bridge). • Meters are tested for thermal shock resistance, including rapid transitions between extreme hot and cold water immersion, ensuring no performance degradation. • Any display degradation due to extreme cold or heat within the operating range is temporary and returns to normal once ambient conditions normalize. Resilience to Salt Exposure: • Devices are designed for harsh environments, including salty, humid, and high -UV regions, with proven deployments in coastal and Caribbean locations. • Enclosures and components are selected for corrosion resistance, and reliability data from similar deployments supports their suitability. Failure Modes, Restoration, and Mitigation Measures: • Because the RF Mesh network is self -healing, RF Mesh endpoints identify and utilize alternate network paths on their own, requiring no manual intervention or "path setting" from network administrators. The Gateway City of Seward Landis+Gyr Extended Responses to City of Seward Requirements Workbook Landis+Gyr Proprietary & Confidential Information 09/26/2025 96 Landis+Gyr failover feature applies further self -healing capability to the network, giving mesh endpoints more options if a Gateway becomes unavailable. • Products under warranty are returned to the Landis+Gyr RMA center for analysis and repair.

Protection/Responses to Meter Glass and LCD Issues: • Meter glass and covers are tested for impact, accelerated weathering, and resistance to clouding/hazing from condensation or sunlight. • LCD fading or temporary failures due to environmental extremes are non -permanent; displays recover when ambient conditions return to normal. • All device designs account for environmental stress on LCDs and glass, with robust enclosure and component selection to minimize the risk of unreadability. 1.2.2 Describe the option or approach to reach Meters located inside a concrete building. Include whether external antennae can be a potential option. If Meters inside a concrete building cannot communicate with the network, can C&I Meters be equipped with a demand reset button? Landis+Gyr Response: Due to the robust connectivity of mesh networks, most indoor meters and modules already have many pathways to reach the Gateways. However, on rare occasions, additional connectivity is required. To address these situations, Landis+Gyr has a variety of solutions for communication with hard -to -access meters. The solutions range from simple RF coupling antennas for use on selected Landis+Gyr meters to placement of indoor and outdoor devices. The coupling antenna absorbs RF energy from the integrated module in electric meters to an external antenna. Installation of this flexible antenna solution is as simple as attaching the prefabricated patch antenna to the electric meter cover. Different lengths of coaxial cable are available to mount the antenna in an optimal location. The Gateways and Routers (indoor configuration) accommodate an external antenna, which can be routed to an optimal location using coaxial cable. Besides a passive or remote antenna, Landis+Gyr also uses leaky coax —a coax cable with specific perforations that allow energy to "escape" along the route of the coax —for hard -to -reach meters. This configuration has proven very effective in high-rise buildings and is currently being used at many deployments throughout the United States and Asia. With the use of an externally mounted antenna to the meter cover, the antenna connection allows passive connectivity between the RF transceiver and an external antenna. The remote passive antenna couples radio frequency energy from an electric endpoint's antenna into a coax cable connected to a RF coupling antenna for better connection to the Gridstream network. The coupling antenna is used in special scenarios for specific environments that inhibit RF communications or require extended heights of the antenna to help increase connectivity model propagation: City of Seward Landis+Gyr Extended Responses to City of Seward Requirements Workbook Landis+Gyr Proprietary & Confidential Information 09/26/2025 97 Landis+Gyr • Metal meter boxes • Underground locations/basements • Grouped meters • Single meter exceptions • Strategic placement of additional Wi-SUN routers on nearby utility poles / streetlights. Via network optimization, Wi-SUN mesh routers could be moved to improve signal connectivity or additional routers strategically placed to support such hard -to -reach isolated meters Demand Resets (for C&I meters inside concrete buildings) can be done in any of four methods: Via the meter program, the AMI Network, the RF field tool, or through an optical probe on the meter cover. 1.4.1 The Utility is looking for AMI to expand the services and opportunities offered to their customers. Edge computing or distributed intelligence including Meter apps or other computations performed at the edge of the AMI Network, can be a key enabler for future initiatives. Describe how the proposed Solution supports edge computing, including any app strategy approach or architecture, development plans/roadmaps, deployment options, and support for Utility or 3rd party development and functionality. Landis+Gyr Response: Landis+Gyr's solution delivers comprehensive support for edge computing and distributed intelligence through its next -generation grid sensing platform, Revelo, and the Gridstream Connect Apps ecosystem. The architecture is centered on enabling robust app deployment, management, and innovation at the meter level. The Revelo meter is designed with dedicated processing and memory resources for metrology, a Network Interface Card (NIC), and a Linux-based Edge Intelligence Card (EIC). This separation ensures that meter -to - cash features remain unaffected by edge applications, while providing a high-speed processor (up to 1GHz), 512MB RAM, and 4GB storage for concurrent, real-time app execution. Edge applications use energy -efficient coding languages such as Java, and typical app sizes range from hundreds of KB to several MB, with sufficient resources to support multiple apps over the product's 20-year service life. Landis+Gyr's app strategy is built on an open development community and marketplace. The Gridstream Connect Apps ecosystem consists of: • App Studio: A Java -based IDE (Eclipse -based) for coding, building, simulating, and debugging apps, with the option to use a Revelo Developer Kit. • App Marketplace: A platform for publishing, purchasing, and distributing apps, supporting versioning, device compatibility, and subscription management. • App Manager: An enterprise tool for provisioning, registration, secure import, distribution, installation, updates, removal, and diagnostic reporting of apps across the network. It provides real-time dashboards and monitoring of app/device health, resource utilization, and lifecycle management. • App Lab: A developer support process providing technical resources, community forums, and app review for compliance with functionality, cybersecurity, and resource requirements.

Landis+Gyr Response: Encryption is managed at the device, network and application layers for the full solution. The Landis+Gyr solution utilizes modern public key mechanisms which remove the need for expensive or insecure key injection at manufacturing locations. At the device level, the root of trust for the solution is a utility hardware security module (HSM). This utilizes proven (Common Criteria Certified and NIST Validated) hardware security controls for the generation of the utility unique keying information. The utility private key which operates as the root of trust for the solution is stored within the HSM. Landis+Gyr customers have securely operated with a variety of business continuity and disaster recovery solutions utilizing the HSM configurations in hot, warm, and cold site options. The application layer cryptographic controls include device unique keying data. The AES256 encryption keys are provisioned with the device and the head end at the time of deployment. This involves utilizing public key interchange (PKI) to provision the unique keying data in the field. This ensures that the keys are securely generated and removes the need for key injection of device unique keying information, movement of unique keying information across ingress/egress points of the utility. The changing or management of the keys is accomplished using the HES software to provide a secure, automated key provisioning process that has been proven to work in the largest scale IOT implementations (25M+ devices). This is accomplished using the PKI infrastructure and an automated mechanism to manage the scheduled rolling of the device unique keys at a lifetime chosen by the utility. This is commonly a 1-2 year key lifecycle as recommended by NIST. One of the larger customers is successfully operating their solution with a 3-month lifecycle. Networking layer protections are traditional IT security controls utilizing certificate based key exchange for TLS or EAP protocols for wireless key exchange depending on the IT asset and technology. Key lifecycles for the traditional IT controls are managed per traditional IT controls for TLS and EAP. City of Seward Landis+Gyr Extended Responses to City of Seward Requirements Workbook Landis+Gyr Proprietary & Confidential Information 09/26/2025 108 Landis+Gyr 5.2.12 The Utility's expectation is that no Proponent devices, as delivered to the Utility, shall be capable of emitting RF at levels that exceed any applicable state or federal guidelines and limits (e.g., FCC radio frequency exposure guidelines). Landis+Gyr Response: The following narrative explains how the Gridstream Mesh advanced metering networks are designed, built, and tested to be compliant with all applicable FCC regulations regulating power output and radiated emissions. The Gridstream radios used in advanced meters, distribution devices and network equipment meet all FCC and industry specifications for power output and transmission duration and comply with acceptable safe levels of human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields as defined by FCC OET Bulletin 65. The power output for Gridstream devices varies depending upon application. Gridstream advanced meters use a radio that transmits at a peak output power of between 23 dBm and 25 dBm, which is equivalent to 250-400 milliwatts. The FCC limit for this application is 1 watt at the source, meaning Gridstream meters transmit at an average power level that is one-third or less of the FCC limit. Gridstream Network Gateways are typically located in power substations or secure locations. The Network Gateway radios have a selectable power output of 21, 25 or 30 dBm. Measured in watts, the maximum power output is 1 watt. Note: Because watts are not meant to be a measurement of field strength, distance to source is important for computing power output in this way (e.g., at a distance of 1 meter away from the transmitter, the power output drops by 30 dBm). The average duration and number of times a Gridstream radio transmits is also dependent upon application. Gridstream residential meters are typically programmed to transmit data seven times per day. In addition to load profile data transmission, the daily duty cycle may include unscheduled operations for network management and maintenance, syncing with the network and application traffic. Average transmission times per network device are: • Gridstream Mesh IP Meter: • Transmission Time Per 24 Hours: 754 milliseconds • Average Length of Transmission: 14 milliseconds • Gridstream Network Gateway: • Transmission Time Per 24 Hours: 41.6 seconds per radio (NIC) • Average Length of Transmission: 19.9 milliseconds The minimum safe distance from a Gridstream Mesh residential endpoint antenna assuming 100% duty cycle, is 0.64 inches in a controlled area and 1.43 inches in an uncontrolled area. Based on the true average duty cycle, the minimum safe distance would be .02 inches for controlled areas and .05 inches for uncontrolled areas. City of Seward Landis+Gyr Extended Responses to City of Seward Requirements Workbook Landis+Gyr Proprietary & Confidential Information 09/26/2025 109 Landis+Gyr 5.4.5 The Utility's expectation is the Proponent can provide Meters that have or can accept an external FAN antenna for improved communication where needed. Landis+Gyr Response: Due to the robust connectivity of mesh networks, most indoor meters and modules already have many pathways to reach gateways. However, on rare occasions, additional connectivity is required. To address these situations, Landis+Gyr has a variety of solutions for communication with hard -to -access meters. The solutions range from simple RF coupling antennas for use on selected Landis+Gyr meters to placement of indoor and outdoor devices. The coupling antenna absorbs RF energy from the integrated module in electric meters to an external antenna. Installation of this flexible antenna solution is as simple as attaching the prefabricated patch antenna to the electric meter cover. Different lengths of coaxial cable are available to mount the antenna in an optimal location. The gateways and routers (when configured for interior devices) accommodate an external antenna, which can be routed to an optimal location using coaxial cable. Besides a passive or remote antenna, Landis+Gyr also uses leaky coax —a coax cable with specific perforations that allow energy to "escape" along the route of the coax —for hard -to -reach meters. This configuration has proven very effective in high-rise buildings and is currently being used at many deployments throughout the United States and Asia. With the use of an externally mounted antenna to the meter cover, the antenna connection allows passive connectivity between the RF transceiver and an external antenna. The remote passive antenna couples radio frequency energy from an electric endpoint's antenna into a coax cable connected to a RF coupling antenna for better connection to the Gridstream Wi-SUN and/or cellular network. The coupling antenna is used in special scenarios for specific environments that inhibit RF communications or require extended heights of the antenna to help increase connectivity model propagation: • Metal meter boxes • Underground locations/basements • Grouped meters • Single meter exceptions • Strategic placement of additional Wi-SUN routers on nearby utility poles / streetlights. Via network optimization, Wi-SUN mesh routers could be moved to improve signal connectivity or additional routers strategically placed to support such hard -to -reach isolated meters. City of Seward Landis+Gyr Extended Responses to City of Seward Requirements Workbook Landis+Gyr Proprietary & Confidential Information 09/26/2025 1 1 0 Landis+Gyr 6.3.3 Describe any other diagnostic checks that can be performed remotely on polyphase Meters that would be beneficial to the Utility. Landis+Gyr Response: Diagnostic checks that can be performed remotely on polyphase meters and would be beneficial to the utility include: • Voltage Imbalance Detect: Compares the voltage of each phase with the average of all phase voltages. If the ratio between any phase voltage and the average exceeds a user -programmable percentage, a diagnostic flag is tripped. For delta configurations, phase -to -phase voltages are compared. • Current Magnitude Imbalance Check: Compares the current of each phase with the average of all phase currents. If the ratio between any phase current and the average exceeds a user -programmable percentage, a diagnostic flag is tripped. • Energy Polarity Check: Checks for reverse energy flow on one or more phases. If the energy polarity (watts) for any phase is negative, the flag is tripped. • Phase Angle Displacement Check: Verifies that meter elements are sensing and receiving the correct current for each phase and indicates poor load power factor or reversed CTs. • Polarity and Cross -Phase Check: Checks for proper phase relationships of voltage, incorrect voltage polarity, internal meter measurement malfunctions, and faulty site wiring. • Phase Voltage Deviation Check: Verifies loss of phase voltage, incorrect phase voltage, shorted voltage transformer windings, or incorrect voltage transformer ratio by detecting differences between phase voltage magnitudes, using nominal voltage per phase as a reference. • Inactive Phase Current Check: Detects current diversion and open or shorted CT circuits by verifying acceptable current levels per phase. • Loss of Phase: Detects loss of power on a phase (see Phase Voltage Deviation Check). • Self -Check Routine: The meter performs self -checks at the metrology and NIC level, with alarms configurable to be sent immediately or with the next scheduled transmission if a self -check error is found. • Error Code Reporting: The meter flags and reports both critical and non -critical error conditions, including operational errors, via remote communication. • Communication Diagnostics: Provides information on AMI radio communication, HAN (ZigBee) radio communication, and mesh network neighbor status for troubleshooting. • Phase Identification Support: The system supports phase identification and verification through analytics software and event -based reporting (e.g., purposeful phase sagging and detection of responding meters). • Voltage Event Detection: The meters can record and report voltage sags, swells, under -voltage, and overvoltage events based on configurable thresholds, with alarms and dashboard notifications triggered when thresholds are exceeded. • Diagnostic Reporting: The HES provides various reports, such as the Phase Voltage Report, displaying up-to- the-minute diagnostic information, which can be generated for specific date ranges, the latest read, or on demand.

Industry best practice is to audit commercial and industrial Current Transformer (CT) metering installations every five years. The City's last third -party audit was completed in 2018, when the AMR meter system was first installed. Since then, many CT services have undergone load changes, equipment aging, or customer configuration updates that warrant a comprehensive review. National Metering & Technical Services submitted a proposal to audit 83 commercial and industrial meter installations using journeyman -level metermen who will verify meter numbers, nameplate data, wiring, multipliers, CT sizing, polarity, burden, and overall accuracy, as well as document findings with photos and a detailed report. Their scope also includes identifying safety issues, metering anomalies, or potential revenue impacts. The work is expected to take approximately two weeks at a rate of 5-7 CT services per day, and includes all labor, specialized metering equipment, vehicles, testing tools, and field PPE. Accurate metering protects both the customer and the utility. A third -party audit ensures unbiased verification of all metering components and enhances customer confidence in the billing system. National Metering's quoted price is $37,005.00, and the Electric Department recommends adding 10% contingency to account for site -specific access challenges or potential repairs identified during testing.

The Seward Comprehensive Plan Survey Analysis Report (2025) revealed that families and employers consistently identify the lack of child care as a barrier to workforce participation and business operations. Many residents noted that "employees cannot work due to lack of child care" and that "becoming a licensed child care provider is difficult and not financially viable." These challenges directly impact Seward's ability to retain families, sustain small businesses, and maintain year-round employment. Respondents also prioritized affordable housing, family recreation, and educational opportunities, showing broad community support for infrastructure investments that make Seward livable for families. The Plan's Vision section emphasizes community connection, safety, and support for young families, all of which depend on reliable child care systems. The Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District (KPEDD) 2025 State of the Economy report identifies workforce attraction and retention as central to regional growth, recommending family supportive policies to maintain local employment. This resolution aligns with KPEDD's Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy by adding child care to Seward's economic framework alongside housing, workforce, and infrastructure initiatives. The Alaska Workforce Investment Board (AWIB) and the Governor's Task Force on Child Care (2024) both emphasize that accessible, high -quality child care is essential for a healthy workforce and strong economy. The Task Force documented that Alaska has lost 10% of licensed providers since 2020 and that 61% of Alaskans live in child care deserts. National and state studies confirm that child care is not merely a social service but a fundamental economic driver. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and Alaska Chamber's Untapped Potential study (2021) found that child care shortages cost Alaska's economy $165 million annually in lost productivity and tax revenue. The Role of Early Care & Education in Alaska's 131 Economy (thread, 2023) estimates that 50,000 Alaskans are able to work because of child care availability, generating $4.6 billion in earnings. This resolution creates no immediate fiscal obligation. It provides a framework for collaboration between the City, KPEDD, the Seward Chamber of Commerce, and partners to pursue grants, technical assistance, and partnerships that expand local child care capacity. By integrating child care into economic development planning, Seward can attract and retain families, strengthen small businesses, and stabilize its year-round economy.

Over one-third of respondents stated that the lack of child care directly affects their ability to work or operate a business, while others noted that becoming a licensed provider is difficult and not financially viable; and WHEREAS, the Alaska Workforce Investment Board (AWIB) recognizes quality early care and education as essential to workforce readiness, economic stability, and crime reduction; and WHEREAS, the 2024 Governor's Task Force on Child Care found that 61% of Alaskans live in child care deserts, Alaska has lost nearly 10% of its licensed child care providers since 2020, and called for public -private partnerships to increase affordability and accessibility statewide; and WHEREAS, research by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and the Alaska Chamber of Commerce (Untapped Potential: How Child Care Impacts Alaska's Workforce Productivity and the State Economy, 2021) shows that Alaska's economy loses approximately $165 million each year due to child care breakdowns, including $152 million in employer costs and $13 million in lost tax revenue. Reliable child care enables approximately 50,000 Alaskans to work, generating $4.6 billion in annual earnings; and WHEREAS, strengthening child care availability aligns with KPEDD's Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) goals to support sustainable growth, increase labor force participation, and reduce barriers to employment; and 134 CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2025-121 WHEREAS, the Seward 2030 Comprehensive Plan prioritizes a balanced economy that serves both residents and visitors, supporting infrastructure that benefits families, education, and small businesses. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that: Section 1.

Seward's adopted planning documents also emphasize equitable access to quality educational opportunities, including for students with special and exceptional needs. Schools in Seward are not only places of academic learning but also centers for civic engagement, community connection, and workforce preparation. By supporting school partnerships, the City helps advance its long-term vision of a strong, diverse economy and a vibrant, resilient community. Despite statewide reductions in education funding, local partners and educators in Seward have worked collaboratively to create opportunities for students. Efforts such as interagency curriculum committees, after school "extended day" programs, and place -based credit bearing courses show how community collaboration strengthens education. However, without formal City support, these efforts remain limited. A City resolution of support ensures that partnerships can grow, remain sustainable, and be integrated into municipal planning efforts. This action also directly aligns with Seward's goals for economic development and workforce readiness. The Comprehensive Plan emphasizes the importance of supporting AVTEC, the University of Alaska, and other training pathways to build a skilled year-round workforce. City school partnerships through field trips, job shadowing, internships, and recreation access are concrete ways to connect students to local career pathways while fostering civic pride. Other Alaska communities, including Sitka, Homer, and Juneau, have successfully implemented similar collaborations, and Seward is well positioned to adapt these models to strengthen local opportunities. Comprehensive and Strategic Plan Consistency Information This legislation is consistent with (citation listed): Comprehensive Plan: We value a community that will ensure that pre-K-12 and post- secondary education institutions have the resources and programs to provide quality educational opportunities to our children and residents" (Vol. I, p. 8) Support educational opportunities which are enhanced by Seward's physical geography and economic activities" (Vol. I, p. 8) Support expansion course and degree offerings in Seward by the 137 Strategic Plan: Other: University of Alaska" (Vol. I, p. 11) Support Seward schools to attract and retain families" (Vol. I, p. 11).

The City Council authorizes the City Manager to develop and formalize partnerships with local schools, educational institutions, and community organizations that support local education and align with the Comprehensive Plan.
