She read from a prepared statement about how investing in childcare was very important in a rapidly changing economy. Kirstie Willean, outside city limits, spoke in support of education. Seward teachers were among the finest in the state despite working in an underfunded system. She fully supported Resolution 2025-122. Elle Zernia, outside city limits, hoped that council would taking action to update cannabis regulations in locally adopted city code. The updates had stalled out and remained unfinished.

He felt the previous Chair Carol Griswold did an excellent job and was able to listen to all different points of view. Jennifer DesErmia, outside city limits, spoke in favor of Resolution 2025-122 which supported local schools and enhanced learning. This resolution aligned perfectly with the Seward Comprehensive Plan. Amanda Sweeting, outside city limits, expressed support for Resolution 2025-121. Access to reliable childcare was important to this community and workforce. From the Chamber of Commerce perspective, this resolution aligned with their mission of promoting local businesses, having a reliable workforce, and making Seward a place to live, work, and raise children year- round. Mica VanBuskirk, inside city limits, supported Resolution 2025-122 and noted this was a very important step forward for the community. Tim McDonald, inside city limits, said there was a 9 million dollar grant for grey cod relief. He said there was a large grey cod nursery near Lowell Point. On another topic, McDonald wondered about running free shuttle busses in the winter for people in need of transportation. It made him sad to see people trudging on foot along the highway in the winter. Katy Jurney, outside city limits, supported both resolutions on childcare and education. Students in Seward were not getting the same quality of education as students on the other side of the peninsula. She also described an abrupt closure in childcare that had affected her life. 6 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2025 Volume 43, Page Andy Wilder, inside city limits, introduced himself as one of the candidates for the Planning & Zoning Commission. He was a 30-year resident of Seward and wanted to see Seward continue to thrive and be a great place to raise a family.

She encouraged council to review work session notes and pick up the work and make changes to Title 8 in the code. Mark Swanson, outside city limits, spoke to issues regarding housing and schools and how council could be involved.

He was proud of his tenure on City Council and said if he was appointed to the Planning & Zoning Commission, he would bring integrity and dedication to the seat. Becky Dunn, inside city limits, paid tribute to Shirley Dieckgraeff who recently passed away. On another topic, Dunn spoke to the burdensome rules and regulations of operating a daycare. [Clerk's note: It was clarified later in the meeting that it was actually Barbara Dieckgraeff who had recently passed away.] 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 November 17, 2025, City Council Meeting Minutes 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 7 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2025 Volume 43, Page Resolution 2025-124: Repealing Resolution 2025-064 and Authorizing the City Manager to Accept an Adjusted Loan Amount from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation Clean Water Fund for $740,000 with Loan Forgiveness of $740,000 for Planning and Design of Lowell Point and SMIC Lagoon Effluent Disinfection and Completing and Implementing a Required Wastewater/Water Utility Rate Study Resolution 2025-125: Authorizing the City Manager to Purchase Water Meters from Anchorage Well & Pump Service, Inc for an Amount not to Exceed $201,471.72 No grounds for protest to the renewal of the AMCO retail marijuana store license for the Tufted Puffin at 408 Port Avenue No grounds for protest to the renewal of the AMCO endorsement for on -site consumption at the Tufted Puffin at 408 Port Avenue No grounds for protest to the renewal of the AMCO retail marijuana store license for the Tufted Puffin at 216 Fourth Avenue IN -PERSON REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS City Manager Report City Manager Kat Sorensen updated council on the recent Electric Department town hall meeting and upcoming surveys. The Electric Department also hosted an open house tour of the Lowell Canyon hydro generation plant. Sorensen summarized the EPA grant stakeholder meeting regarding shore power at the new cruise ship terminal. One of Sorensen's resolutions for 2026 was using electronic payments in the City of Seward. Currently, the city can only accept and issue paper checks and Sorensen was looking forward to this upgrade. Lastly, she provided information on possible frauds and phishing scams to be aware of this holiday season. Barnwell asked about the U.S. Coast Guard update for Seward. Sorensen explained the timeline for the Coast Guard being situated across the bay. Barnwell wanted to request a joint work session with Planning & Zoning Commission regarding the cannabis industry. McClure echoed the request. McClure praised Sorensen for the City Manager Newsletter primer on the council meetings. Sorensen explained how people can subscribe to the city's e-notifications. She noted the Human Resources Manager was now utilizing the e-notifications for sending out job postings. City Clerk Report City Clerk Kris Peck said the clerk report contained a council packet cover from January 2006, which was the oldest packet cover on the Legislative History site. He noted that featuring a cover photo on packets was fairly unique to Seward and he was proud to be carrying on the tradition. 8 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2025 Volume 43, Page McClure asked what the black rectangle photo on the 2006 cover was supposed to represent. Peck confirmed the photo was of a fireworks display. City Attorney Report City Attorney Sam Severin said November was relatively quiet and summarized from his written report in the packet. He described a slip and fall negligence claim from a cruise ship passenger. He described the generally hazardous conditions in Seward, including the annual Mt. Marathon Race, and felt that a slip and fall incident would be a tough sell. That being said, he was still taking the claim seriously. City Attorney Kody George said he had been keeping busy with the electric utility topics and the Railbelt Transmission Organization. He noted the Deputy City Manager Jason Bickling had provided some good suggestions. Presentations Chamber of Commerce Presentation by Executive Director Amanda Sweeting PUBLIC HEARINGS — None UNFINISHED BUSINESS — None Council recessed the meeting at 8:20 p.m. Council resumed the meeting at 8:27p.m. NEW BUSINESS Resolution 2025-117: Adopting the 2026 City of Seward Pay Plan Motion (Osenga/Warner) Approve Resolution 2025-117 Sorensen explained how this resolution was related to the Seward Public Employee Association collective bargaining agreement. The pay plan would be incorporated into the next budget cycle and included a 3% cost of living increase and 2.5% between steps for all employees. Barnwell clarified this was separate from the recent wage increase. Sorensen said this resolution was approving the pay plan correlative to the collective bargaining agreement. Motion Passed Unanimous Resolution 2025-118: Authorizing the City Manager to Accept the Proposal from Electric Power Constructors (EPC) for the Rebuild of the Lawing Substation in an Amount not to Exceed $5,200,000 Motion (Osenga/Barnwell) Approve Resolution 2025-118 9 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2025 Volume 43, Page Sorensen said this was the second to final piece of the infrastructure project. She pointed out that the resolution had incorporated the Section 2 Funding wording from a previous resolution of a similar nature to allow flexibility. Electric Operations Supervisor Taylor Crocker added that he attended a Community Council meeting in Moose Pass regarding questions on the Lawing substation. Based on the discussion he had taken a closer look at directional lighting and improving the fence. The key points of the rebuild are to bring the whole substation up to the current national standards and make the substation more visually pleasing to the neighbors. McClure noted the council had been well -versed on this topic. Motion Passed Unanimous Resolution 2025-119: Authorizing the City Manager to Purchase Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Meters, Network Equipment, and Software from Landis+Gyr for Citywide Electric Meter Modernization in the Amount of $766,389, Plus a 10% Contingency and Appropriating Funds Motion (Osenga/Draper) Approve Resolution 2025-119 Crocker described the proposals that he received from different manufactures. The city's Request for Proposals contained 271 questions and it took Crocker 8 hours of work per response to grade them. Crocker summarized how the AMI meters technology would work, and addressed the comments on social media about the cellular technology. He addressed the concerns about AMI meters burning houses down and provided an example of a 2018 house fire in Anchorage. There was always a chance of fire in a meter base due to poor craftsmanship and faulty installation. Calhoon thanked Crocker for addressing the community concerns and proper installation. Crocker continued to describe the credentials required to install these types of meters. Crocker confirmed it would not be possible to be opt out of the program. He noted the city doesn't force anyone to be a customer. Council continued to discuss the AMI meters, surge protectors, and if the dollar amount was worth the upgrade. Sorensen added the current meters were given to the city for free from Kodiak. They were free because they were already obsolete technology. The current meters had served the city well and it was time to upgrade. Motion Passed Unanimous Resolution 2025-120: Authorizing the City Manager to Accept the Proposal from National Metering & Technical Services to Perform Commercial and Industrial Meter Audits in the Amount of $37,005 Plus a 10% Contingency and Appropriating Funds Motion (Osenga/Warner) Approve Resolution 2025-120 10 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2025 Volume 43, Page Crocker explained the audit was not about the meters themselves, but the ratio of current flowing to the meters. He had a bad feeling that the CTs [current transformers] were going bad. Hiring this group would bench test everything for accuracy. Motion Passed Unanimous Resolution 2025-121: Establishing Child Care as an Economic Development Activity, and Directing Administration to Include Child Care in Economic Development Planning and Strategies Motion (Osenga/Calhoon) Approve Resolution 2025-121 Sorensen noted this resolution was sponsored by Warner. Warner described how this resolution would support a stable and thriving economy. She described childcare in Alaska and provided various reports on childcare. She hoped the city would align with happenings around the state. Motion Passed Unanimous Resolution 2025-122: Supporting Local Schools and Directing the Development of Partnerships and Collaborations that Enhance Student Learning, Civic Engagement, and Workforce Development Opportunities Motion (Warner/McClure) Approve Resolution 2025-122 Sorensen noted this resolution was co -sponsored by Warner and Draper. Draper introduced the resolution. She described the education crisis that Seward was facing and how the students deserve better. She referenced all the people who spoke tonight in support of this resolution. She described a ChatGPT simulation that came to the conclusion that the current curriculum was impossible with only six teachers. Warner added that this resolution was a step to show that community valued education in Seward. She was proud to partner with Council Member Draper on sponsoring this resolution. Resolution 2025-022 was amended to include the Kenai Mountains Turnagain Arm [KMTA] in Whereas #2. Barnwell said lack of education funding in the state was shameful. This system gradually eroded over time. He wanted the focus to stay on state legislators. Osenga asked about the City of Seward obligation and if the city was looking to add a city staff member to the school system. Main Motion as Amended Passed Unanimous 11 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2025 Volume 43, Page Other New Business Appoint a Planning & Zoning Commissioner with a term set to expire February 2027 There were three applicants: Randy Wells Andrew Wilder [Laydown] James "Mike" Taylor [Laydown] The city clerk distributed paper ballots to council since there was more than one applicant for the position.

It also authorizes the codifier to implement non -substantive edits for grammar and clarity. This Ordinance does not change the content or interpretation of the current code. From the Municode website: As local governments work to create more inclusive environments, one area that may be behind is their Code of Ordinances. Depending on when certain codes were written, some could include gendered language. Some examples of gendered language include pronouns and words like policeman, policewoman, policemen, workman, fireman, man, woman, salesmen, bondsmen, etc. Removing this language is important so that your code does not reinforce outdated stereotypes. If you notice language like this in your Municipal Code, CivicPlus can identify and resolve any gendered language. This will look different from city to city, depending on the last time your code was supplemented. After this, we will recommend changes to neutralize your code. The aforementioned words most likely show up in your code somewhere, and replacing those may sound confusing. This is not true, and it is quite simple to change gendered words and phrases to something neutral. Certification of Funds Total amount of funds listed in this legislation: $ 7,500 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: x $ $ 7,500 $ Budgeted Line item(s): 01000-1110-7022 Not budgeted Not applicable 16 Affected Fund: General Boat Harbor Motor Pool X Available Fund Balance SMIC Parking Other Electric Water $ Acting Finance Director Signature: Wastewater Healthcare Note: amounts are unaudited Attorne Review X Yes Attorney Signature: Sam Severin and Alex Foote are reviewing Not applicable Comments: 17 Sponsored by: City Clerk Introduction: January 12, 2026 Public Hearing: TBD Enacted: TBD CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA ORDINANCE 2026-001 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, AMENDING THE SEWARD CITY CODE TO REPLACE MASCULINE/FEMININE LANGUAGE WITH GENDER -NEUTRAL TERMS AND AUTHORIZING THE CODIFIER TO IMPLEMENT NON -SUBSTANTIVE EDITS WHEREAS, local governments work to create more inclusive environments, one area that is often lagging behind is the Code of Ordinances, and; WHEREAS, portions of the Seward City Code still use gendered pronouns and terms that do not reflect inclusive best practices; and WHEREAS, the Municode Codification specialists offer a service for $7,500 to identify and resolve any gendered language issues so that Seward City Code will not reinforce outdated stereotypes; and WHEREAS, the City Clerk has reviewed and approved a Gender -Neutral Report identifying specific pronoun and terminology replacements in the Code and seeks to implement those changes without altering substantive policy. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF SEWARD ORDAINS: Section 1. This ordinance will replace gendered language in the Seward City Code with gender - neutral terminology, consistent with the Gender -Neutral Report attached, and to authorize the City's codifier to make non -substantive editorial changes that do not affect the meaning or application of the Code. Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect ten days upon enactment. ENACTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA THIS 26TH DAY OF JANUARY 2026.

The purpose of the program is to provide for a sharing of state fish tax collected outside municipal boundaries, with municipalities that have been affected by fishing industry activities. This program is different from the state fish tax sharing program which shares fish tax revenues collected inside municipal boundaries. This is the 32nd year of this program, and municipalities across the state will share tax revenues from 2024 fisheries activity as reported by fish processors on their fish tax returns. The law that created this program requires that funding be allocated first to fisheries management areas across the state based on the level of fish and shellfish processed in each area, compared to the total fish and shellfish processed for the whole state. Then, funds are allocated among the municipalities located within each fisheries management area, based on the relative level of impacts experienced by each municipality. Seward is located in the Cook Inlet Fisheries Management Area, which includes eleven communities: Anchorage, Homer, Kenai, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Kachemak, Seldovia, Soldotna, Seward, Houston, Palmer and Wasilla. The final deadline for submitting an application for the FY2026 Shared Fisheries Business Tax and Landing Tax Program is February 15, 2026. The long -form application provides for a "standard" and an "alternative" method of funding allocation. The City of Seward will file under the alternative method. Standard Method: Under this method, each municipality must determine and document the cost of fisheries business Impacts experienced by the community in 2024. Once the Impacts have been 42 established for each of the municipalities, the DCCED will calculate the allocation for each municipality using the following formula: One-half of the available funding is divided among participating municipalities on the basis of the relative dollar amount of impact in each community. The other half of the available funding is divided among municipalities based on the relative dollar amount of impact per capita in each community. Alternative Method: Alternative allocation methods may be proposed by the municipalities within the area. DCED will consider approving the use of a proposed alternative method only if all the municipalities in the area agree to use the method, and if the method includes some measure of the relative effects of the fishing Industry on the respective municipalities in the area. The short -form method allocates the available funds by sharing 50% of the funds equally among the participating municipalities and allocating the remaining 50% on a per -capita basis. The information required by the long -form application would be difficult and time-consuming to obtain. Therefore, it is proposed that municipalities in our area use the alternative method and that we further agree that the allocation method be the same method used in the short form allocation. Given the small amount of additional funding that the City might gain by utilizing the standard method, compared to the additional time required to complete the application, it is our recommendation that the city of Seward agree to use the alternative method and agree that 50% of the funds will be allocated equally among the participating municipalities, and the remaining 50% allocated on a per -capita basis. This will be the eighteenth consecutive year of using this method. Using this same allocation method, Seward expects to receive approximately $342.97 in Shared Fisheries Business Tax Allocation, a decrease from the FY2024 allocation of $398.20.

We're working through our usual beginning of the year routines, and I'm catching up after a nice staycation in Seward around the holidays. I hope everyone was able to have a happy and healthy holiday season, and stayed warm with all the cold weather we've been having. With the cold snap, remember to keep tabs on your water lines at home and at work. Keep your property warm and keep a drip of water running at about the width of a number 2 pencil! At the end of 2025, the State of Alaska was awarded federal funding of over $200 million to strengthen, stabilize, and modernize health care systems in rural communities through the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP. As more information on the funding is released, we'll be working with our community partners to ensure that Seward participates in the RHTP funding. There was a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) put out by DOT for inland port and harbor improvements. We are planning to apply for the grant to pave and repave Port Avenue, Leirer Road, Alameda, Northwestern Circle, and T-Dock Road, along with addressing some drainage issues and installing additional sidewalks. We will be engaging the same grant writer who was used for the Shore Power grant, and we are also working with R&M to develop cost estimates for the work. My guess is that the request will be for a couple of million dollars. The deadline is at the end of February, and we will keep you posted.

One of the major initiatives that began in 2025 and will be completed in January 2026 is a comprehensive system mapping update. Alaska Remote Imaging has completed a full aerial and ground survey of the City's electric grid and is now processing that data into the Electric Department's GIS mapping system. Once this data goes live, it will significantly improve system planning, outage response, asset management, and vegetation management efforts. Several large infrastructure projects were approved in 2025 and are scheduled for construction in 2026. These include the Lawing Substation Upgrade, Spring Creek Substation Upgrade, the Nash Road 69 kV to 115 kV transmission upgrade, and the installation of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) meters. When completed, these projects will represent some of the most significant upgrades to Seward's electric system in the past fifty years and will position the system for improved reliability and performance for decades to come. In addition, the Electric Department completed strategic conduit boring projects in 2025 that will support undergrounding efforts during the 2026 construction season. Planned undergrounding areas include Leirer Road, Dairy Hill to NAPA, Stoney Creek, and Old Mill. Our dedicated line crew will be actively working on these projects throughout the next construction season. On the generation side, Plant Operators continue to expertly maintain the EMD generators that provide critical backup power during transmission outages. Alongside this work, the crew has been rehabilitating the Marathon Hydroelectric Plant, which remains on track for completion in spring 2026. Restoring Marathon Hydro is an important step toward expanding local renewable generation and may help pave the way for larger hydroelectric projects to support the community's long-term energy needs. The Electric Department is looking forward to a busy and productive year in 2026 as these projects move from planning into construction, strengthening Seward's electric system for the future 51 Community Development Planning and Zoning Commission The Commission held a work session on Tuesday, December 16th to discuss their priorities for 2026. The Commission held a regular meeting on Tuesday, January 6th to vote on approving their 2026 priority recommendations that were discussed on the previous work session. Those priorities will come before Council in January. The results of the votes on those two resolutions were not known when this CMR was submitted. Congratulations to Andy Wilder who was appointed to the Commission! Appeal of Resolution 2025-035 On December 2, 2025, 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. That resolution was appealed four times by seven community members. When a P&Z decision is appealed, the appeal goes before the City Council serving as the Board of Adjustment, and Community Development staff takes the role of defending the Commission's decision. Staff has spent the majority of its time in preparation for the appeal proceeding. Comprehensive Plan: Staff has nearly completed each of its interviews with City Departments and has connected with PACAB and the Chugach Regional Resource Commission. Staff will spend the next two months connecting with various community organizations. A reminder that the Developer Reimbursement Program application can be found on the Community Development website: Application Forms I Seward, AK 52 Public Works Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a successful and enjoyable 2026! The unusually cold weather over the last few weeks has pushed the frost deeper and froze many of the streams around town. We all need to be aware of the freezing hazards to our water lines at home and work. Take precautions to keep your property warm and pipes from freezing. Also, take care when outside to bundle up and be aware of the wind chill. Extended exposure can cause frostbite. Be safe! *Recent Cold Temperatures are increasing the chance of frozen water lines. ** If your home or business water line has frozen in the past, it is recommended that you run your water through April 30th, at about the thickness of a No.2 pencil lead. The City of Seward does not provide services for thawing frozen service lines. Options for pipe thawing are use of steam thawing and use of a welder to thaw pipes. Both are available in the area through private service providers. The customer is responsible for hiring and paying a thawing service to thaw their service line. The customer assumes all risks and liabilities of using a pipe thawing company. Remember, once the customer's line is thawed, it is recommended that you run the water at the thickness of a No. 2 pencil lead. Choose a fixture that is at the lowest point in your home. Monitor the flow of water as to not cause a backup in your home. In the event of a frozen water line, if you need help locating your key box and thaw wire please contact the City of Seward - Public Works at 907-224-4058. The strong winds and lack of snow tend to keep most of us at Public Works inside when possible, doing other maintenance duties. The Street Department continues to keep roads sanded as needed and clearing falling rocks during all hours and weekends. Our Water and Wastewater guys are still completing all sampling work and making sure the water and sewer mains are flowing. 53 Human Resources The City of Seward is still looking for Patrol Officers and Journeyman Linemen.

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. Status on leases/Permits - AT&T lease renewal —first draft is still under their review, Jag lease extension — met with Mr. Jagielski mid -December to catch up and discuss ideas and plans for the area. Lease draft is under their review and look forward to seeing that move forward. One other new lease within SMIC area is being discussed and they are navigating the permitting/paperwork needed to move forward. As we close out another year and reflect on the past, I would like to thank our former council members for their support. I also look forward to working with our current council members, your dedication to Seward and the Harbor helps make Seward a wonderful place to live, work and visit. A sincere THANK YOU to all our users. We are excited for the future of the harbor area and honored to serve you. Last, I am grateful for my dedicated staff and their commitment to keeping the harbor area running smoothly. Looking ahead, the crew is excited to take delivery of our new 50-ton Travelift, South Uplands development, harbor area upgrades to enhance locals/tourist experience and updating our internal processes. At SMIC, we are eager to have Pacific Seafoods to the area and look forward to that plant back in full operation, we are encouraged at the news that the Coast Guard project is gaining traction and moving forward with their build and support JAG as they continue to build and attract new and maintain existing contract for the Seward area. Over the past eight years, they have witnessed over a 500% growth in employment and have experienced a staggering 300% increase in jobs within their SMIC yard. The next phase of their yard extension will allow this growth to continue, aiding in securing long term government contracts and stable employment. 55 Parks and Recreation Sports & Recreation: The champions of fall were crowned in all sports leagues and are as follows • Rec Racquetball - Lukas Scott • Silver Racquetball_ Doyle Brueckner • Gold Racquetball - Courtney Bringhurst • Basketball - 907 Elite • Comp.

Port and Harbor Tariff Regulations City of Seward, Alaska Effective January 1, 2026 8 85 SECTION II - SERVICES AND CHARGES 200 MOORAGE Outside the Boat Harbor: Vessels berthing or departing city docks, wharves, or any other terminal facility, including the shiplift system, must use sufficient tugs so that vessels can be berthed or removed in a safe manner. Berthing speed shall not exceed sixteen feet per minute, unless approved by the Harbormaster. Within the Boat Harbor: (a) Assignment of Berths. The Boat Harbor is often congested and it is the policy of the City of Seward to provide for the maximum public use of available facilities. The Harbormaster shall have discretion to implement that policy. Berth assignments to particular slips on the City of Seward float system are made by the Harbormaster. Berth assignments are made to a particular combination of vessel and owner/operator, are not assignable by the owner/operator and automatically expire upon sale or transfer of the vessel to another owner/operator. A berth assignment is not a lease or an exclusive right to occupy any particular slip. In order to maximize the public's use of existing facilities, it is common for the Harbormaster to temporarily assign vessels to slips normally used by another vessel when that vessel is out of the harbor. (b) Waiting List for Reserved Slip Assignment. Due to the demand for slips on the City of Seward float system, vessels will be assigned reserved slips based on waiting lists maintained by the Harbormaster's office. Separate waiting lists shall be maintained for the following size floats: 23 feet (accommodates vessel 19 to 26 feet) 32 feet (accommodates vessel 27 to 36 feet) 40 feet (accommodates vessel 37 to 44 feet) 50 feet (accommodates vessel 45 to 54 feet) 75 feet (accommodates vessel 65 to 79 feet) 90 feet (accommodates vessel 80 to 94 feet) 100 feet (accommodates vessel 95 to 104 feet) 105 feet or longer - side tie only - up to 150 feet Assignments to a reserved slip from the waiting lists shall be made by the Harbormaster based on the slip size available and the most senior name on the waiting list for that size slip. There is a fee of FORTY DOLLARS ($40.00) per year per listing on the waiting list(s) for a reserved slip assignment. The wait list year runs November 1" through October 31st (c) Reserved Slip Assignments (1) The Harbormaster may assign a specific slip on the City of Seward float system within the Boat Harbor to a particular vessel on a semi-annual basis. (2) A reserved slip assignment to a vessel is not a lease or right to occupy a particular slip and may not be assigned. (3) To maximize the use of the Boat Harbor, a reserved assigned slip may be assigned to a transient vessel when the reserved assigned owner/vessel is out of the harbor. (4) Upon the return of the reserved assigned vessel to the Boat Harbor (provided proper notifications are given and based on harbor congestion and the difficulties involved in moving vessels), the Harbormaster will attempt to rearrange vessels so that a vessel with a reserved slip assignment may berth at that assigned slip. Port and Harbor Tariff Regulations City of Seward, Alaska Effective January 1, 2026 9 86 (5) A vessel assigned a reserved slip assignment must notify the Harbormaster when departing the harbor for more than five (5) days. If away from Seward for more than five (5) days, a reserved assigned vessel should notify the Harbormaster of its intended arrival date and time back into the Boat Harbor. (d) Grace Period for Late Renewals. A reserved slip holder who fails to renew by the due date may renew any time in the next fifteen (15) days rather than relinquish the slip, provided that (1) both parties agree, (2) all other reserved moorage requirements are met, and (3) the applicable transient rate is paid on or before the fifteen (15) days has expired. (e) New Reserved Slip Assignment. For a new reserved slip moorage agreement entered into after January 1" or July 1st, the following rules and charges apply: (1) If the customer has already paid for transient moorage, the customer charges will be converted from transient charges to reserved tenant charges on the effective date of the slip assignment. The reserved tenant moorage fee shall be charged on a pro -rated basis and is due in full on the date of the slip assignment. (2) If the customer is new to the harbor and has not paid any moorage fees, the reserved moorage fee shall be charged on a prorated basis and is due in full on the date of the slip assignment. (3) As stated in paragraphs (e) (1) and (2) above, pro -rated basis shall be calculated by dividing the semi-annual moorage amount by 6, and charging the new tenant 1 /6th of the reserved tenant moorage rate per calendar month for the remainder of the moorage agreement. If a slip assignment occurs during a calendar month, the partial month will be charged the lesser of the daily rate or 1 /6th the semi-annual amount. (f) Reserved and Temporary (Transient) Slip Assignments. There are two types of slip assignments at the City of Seward Boat Harbor. The first is a reserved assigned slip and the second is a transient slip. Reserved Slips that are assigned to a boat/owner may be used for transient moorage when the reserved assigned vessel is away from the slip. (g) Notice Upon Arrival. All vessels should notify the Seward Boat Harbor office prior to arrival. Those vessels which have received reserved assigned slips should notify the Harbormaster's office twenty-four (24) hours prior to expected arrival to allow the harbor staff time to free the slip. If, despite reasonable efforts, the Harbormaster is unable to clear a reserved assigned slip due to congestion, high winds or safety considerations, a vessel with a reserved assigned slip may be required to temporarily use a transient slip or float as directed by the Harbormaster. Vessels entering the Boat Harbor which have not, for any reason, received a berthing assignment by radio contact or otherwise shall be restricted to the following areas: west side of Z float; X float; R float; south side of F float; K float; L float; North side S float; South side of A float; I dock; and T dock. If, as is frequently the case during periods of congestion, all of the above berths are full, a vessel is permitted to raft to a vessel already berthed. (h) Vessel Registration. All vessels must have a current registration form (Application and Agreement for Transient Moorage) on file with the Harbormaster. These forms must be filed immediately upon arrival at the Boat Harbor. However, vessels that arrive after normal Harbormaster office hours must register before 10:00 a.m. the following day.

Overall length shall be construed to mean the linear distance, expressed in feet, from the most forward point at the bow to the aftermost part of the stern of the vessel, measured parallel to the base line of the vessel. The length shall include all hull attachments, such as bowsprits, dinghies, davits, etc. For billing purposes, overall length of the vessel as published in "Lloyd's Register of Shipping" may be used. The City of Seward reserves the right to: (1) Obtain the overall length from the vessel's register; or, (2) Measure the vessel. (c) Transient (Guest) Daily Rates. With the exception of vessel owner/operators who have paid an annual, semi-annual, or monthly fee in advance, all temporary or transient moorage charges shall be calculated on the daily rate. Vessels that have not paid advance transient moorage but are in the harbor for more than 15 days in a 30-day consecutive period will be invoiced 15 days of Transient Moorage for that 30- day period. The daily rate shall be $0.91 per lineal foot of overall length of the vessel. (See Appendix A for a listing of Transient Moorage Rates according to vessel length): (1) Transient (Guest) Annual Rate. The Annual Rate shall be $66.68 per lineal foot. (2) Semi -Annual Rate. At the option of the vessel owner/operator, the annual moorage fee may be paid in two equal semi-annual installments of sixty percent (60%) of the annual rate established above.

Overall length shall be construed to mean the linear distance, expressed in feet, from the most forward point at the bow to the aftermost part of the stern of the vessel, measured parallel to the base line of the vessel. For dockage billing purposes, overall length of the vessel as published in "Lloyd's Register of Shipping" will be used. If no such figure appears in "Lloyd's Register", the City of Seward reserves the right to: (1) Obtain the overall length from the vessel's register; or, (2) Measure the vessel. (c) Vessels Docked to Repair, Shore, Outfit or Fumigate. The shiplift dock, adjacent and to the north of the shiplift system, was constructed and intended primarily to be used for ship repair and maintenance. Vessels being repaired by ship repair and maintenance businesses occupying upland facilities at the Seward Marine Industrial Center will therefore be preferred over cargo operations. Full dockage will be charged if and when a vessel is permitted to make repairs or alterations, shore for special freight, outfit, store or fumigate while docked at a City dock or terminal facility. (d) Preference to Reserved Dock Use. A vessel may be permitted to berth at a City dock or terminal facility of the City of Seward without having first made written application for a berth assignment and without such an assignment having been granted.

The vessel shall be assessed appropriate fees as set forth in this tariff. (f) (g) Charges on Vessel Shifting. When a vessel is shifted directly from one wharf or berth to another wharf or berth operated by the City of Seward, the total time at such berths will be considered together when computing the dockage charge. Charges to Assisting Vessels. A single vessel, when actively engaged as a tug boat assisting and made fast outboard of a vessel loading or discharging cargo, will be accorded free dockage.

The City Manager provides this list as a piece of legislation to the City Council to approve those key priorities for which the City would benefit from obtaining funding and legislative support. In 2026 the legislative priorities list continues to be of primary importance, given the ongoing likelihood of expansive federal infrastructure fund availability. The comprehensive list is used to effectively interact with the City's legislators and lobbyists. Having the 2026 Legislative Priorities list available prior to the beginning of the state legislative session in January is valuable to engage in a meaningful manner with legislators early in the process. The 2026 Legislative Priorities will also be used to generate the booklet which will be provided to various entities during visits to Juneau and Washington, DC. Administration recommends inclusion of the following projects for the 2026 Legislative Priorities: • Continued Full Funding for the Construction and Maintenance of the United States Army Corp of Engineers Lowell Tunnel Outfall Diversion Structure • Expansion of Water/Sewer and Access Infrastructure Which Will Increase Construction of New Residential Development throughout City Limits • Seward Marine Industrial Center Infrastructure • Replacement of Old Piping with New Ductile Iron Piping throughout Seward • Funding for the Construction of a New Public Works Facility • Float Extension Project in the Harbor for Z Float • Funding for the Construction of a New Fire Station • Funding for the Construction of a New Police Station • Funding for the Paving of the North Harbor Industrial Area • Sidewalk Replacement and Refurbishment throughout the City of Seward In addition to the 2026 Legislative Priorities, Administration requests direction from City Council on the 2025 Congressionally Designated Spending ("Earmarks") list. We have been advised by our Federal Lobbyist to select three to five key priority projects for this purpose. 118 City Council Agenda Statement Comprehensive and Strategic Plan Consistency Information This legislation is consistent with (citation listed): Comprehensive Plan: This list affects all aspects of the Comprehensive Plan and Strategic Plan Strategic Plan: Other: 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 x Fund Balance Information Affected Fund (✓): General Boat Harbor Motor Pool SMIC Parking Other Electric Water Fund Balance/Net position — restricted $ Fund Balance/Net position — unrestricted/unassigned $ Available Unrestricted Cash Balance: $ Wastewater Healthcare Note: amounts are unaudited Finance Director Signature: x Yes Attorney Review Attorney Signature: Not applicable Comments: 119 Sponsored by: Sorensen CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2026-002 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, ADOPTING THE 2026 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES AND CONGRESSIONALLY DESIGNATED SPENDING LIST WHEREAS, each year City administration compiles a list of legislative priorities and creates the Congressionally Designated Spending List; and WHEREAS, the 2026 Legislative Priorities outlines the City's key projects, needs, and areas of focus for lobbying efforts; and WHEREAS, the list is used as a guide for both our state and federal lobbyists to promote awareness of the City's priority needs and solicit funding; and WHEREAS, all projects on the 2026 Legislative Priorities are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

While each system functions independently, the lack of integration requires duplicate data entry, manual reconciliation, and additional staff time to maintain accuracy across platforms. This fragmented approach increases operational risk, limits reporting capabilities, and creates inefficiencies that grow as the utility expands and modernizes. As part of its long-term strategy, the Electric Department is transitioning to the Uniform System of Accounts (USoA) and modernizing business processes to improve transparency, regulatory compliance, financial reporting, and asset management. Successfully completing this transition requires an enterprise -level utility system designed specifically for public power utilities that can integrate billing, financials, payroll, inventory, work orders, workflows, customer engagement, and reporting into a single unified platform. Professional Computer Solutions LLC (PCS) submitted a comprehensive proposal for an enterprise utility software solution tailored to municipal and cooperative utilities. The PCS platform consolidates multiple utility functions into one system, eliminating the need for separate billing, accounting, payroll, and inventory software. In addition to replacing the City's existing systems, the PCS solution provides enhanced customer portals, workflow automation, document imaging, mobile workforce tools, advanced reporting and analytics, and direct support for USoA compliance. The PCS proposal includes a one-time software licensing fee of $36,656.00 and a one-time implementation and setup fee of $268,936.00, covering an estimated six- to seven -month transition period that includes discovery, data conversion, configuration, training, testing, and go - live support. The ongoing annual maintenance and support fee of $63,746.00 will replace the 123 combined annual fees currently paid for NorthStar and Fishbowl, resulting in a consolidated and more predictable long-term cost structure. Implementing a single, fully integrated enterprise system will streamline operations, reduce long- term operating risk, improve data accuracy, enhance customer service capabilities, and better position the Electric Department to meet future regulatory, reporting, and technology needs. This investment supports operational efficiency, financial transparency, cybersecurity best practices, and long-term sustainability for the City's electric utility.

The City of Seward, Alaska pg. 16 143 Professional Computer Solutions, LLC Reshaping the Future of Utility Technology PCS Approach to Configuration & Customization The PCS Utilit-e Solutions Suite features and functionalities is designed with a vast array of individual utility configuration capabilities. The solutions are designed where features and functionalities can be turned on or off according to the utility's needs. Not only may they be turned on or off, but there are also many configurable options providing each utility with great flexibility in the use of the application while minimizing customized programming. While PCS has strong utility knowledge, PCS understands our role as professional consultants. Therefore, PCS does not dictate business practices to clients and understands that on occasion there may be need to develop custom solutions. PCS is willing and able to customize a solution. To avoid difficulties when delivering new releases and updates, PCS builds customizations into the core application code with policy settings to manage custom code. Development Architecture PCS has been developing software solutions for utilities since 1981. Over the last 40+ years there have been four major migrations. Starting with RPG to Progress on Unix, next Progress character to graphical, Progress DB to MS SQL, Progress 4GL to MS.Net and now the migration to the web -based solutions on Bootstrap. These solutions will be the PCS foundation for many years to come. The web -based solutions will serve as effective products for clients, a great investment for PCS and efficient tools for employees. PCS core solutions are based on Microsoft SQL server, C# & VB.Net, technologies based on web solutions and reporting solutions based on Crystal Reports, SQL Reporting Services and Excel. Primary reporting functionality utilizes PCS developed PowerSearch for both standard reports and ad hoc end user reporting. Security Security of the data and systems is of utmost importance. PCS undergoes an annual SOC 2 Type 1 Audit. During the audit a penetration test is performed. PCS uses third party auditing to verify that we are meeting current industry cyber security standards. PCS also uses a third party to perform external penetration testing on a quarterly basis. PCS maintains an Information Security Program detailing roles, information handling and access rights. PCS also maintains an Incident Response Plan and uses industry standard processes and procedures. PCS requires multi -factor authentication for all PCS staff as well as all clients accessing the PCS hosting center. The City of Seward, Alaska pg. 17 144 Professional Computer Solutions, LLC Reshaping the Future of Utility Technology D. Implementation Approach PCS Implementation Methodology Conversion and live implementation of the Utilit-e Solutions Suite is only the beginning of an on -going relationship. PCS doesn't just want to be the utility's vendor of choice but wants to be the utility's chosen "partner". As a partner, PCS is committed for the long term. The described Implementation/Management Approach is designed to provide the utility with the highest quality solution. PCS as a company, as well as, each of its staff members prides themselves on delivering high quality effective tools and solutions to the utility. Processes and oversights throughout, not only the installation, but also the on -going partnership with the utility are constantly designed, reviewed and approved to meet these goals and standards. Discovery The Discovery is an onsite visit where the PCS implementation team travels to the utility and conducts a thorough needs analysis. From these in-depth discussions, a scope document is developed. This document will detail areas and topics discussed which require either change in the utility's current policies or procedures or modifications to the application itself. It also includes the implementation timeline and training schedule as discussed. Throughout the process of developing this scope document, the implementation team is in continual contact with the utility's staff to clarify interpretations of requirements. The completed scope document is presented to the utility for review. Often a task may be presented with more than one resolution. The utility can then decide which tasks and/or alternatives best fit the utility's environment. Utility personnel requirements: At least one or two people need to participate in the entire discovery dialog. Functional area specialists need to participate in respective area discussions. The project manager and application owner (roles described in Project Management section immediately following) are the minimum required attendees. In addition, the primary users in each functional area are also important participants. Some users may be involved throughout the entire discovery discussions while others may be involved for just their select areas of specialty. Project Management Project management truly begins prior to the Discovery but shifts into high gear upon receiving the utility's scope approval in accordance with the Discovery blueprint. The PCS installation project manager along with the utility's project manager defines the timeline and milestones of the installation. Throughout the installation the PCS project manager monitors and manages the defined tasks and reports the progress to the utility. This process assures the project is staying on course by identifying scope creep and providing an avenue to voice concerns. The project manager is the primary contact and coordinator with the utility staff from the point of starting the Discovery process and continuing throughout the entire installation — conversion, testing, training, going live and on -going support. Once the installation is complete, the project manager continues to be the primary support person for the utility. For each application (Utilit-e Connect, Utilit-e Insight, Utilit-e Online) PCS provides a specific contact person for each utility. As stated, the primary support person is involved throughout the The City of Seward, Alaska pg. 18 145 Professional Computer Solutions, LLC Reshaping the Future of Utility Technology actual installation. Each primary support person is backed up by a secondary support person who in turn is backed up by the entire application support team. Each team is comprised of individuals who have personally experienced the implementation process and have significant knowledge of the PCS applications. A support call to PCS does not go into a support queue but rather goes to the primary or secondary support person. This team is dedicated to responding within a four-hour period with most support calls/emails being addressed in a shorter timeframe, if not immediately. Utility personnel requirements: A project manager and application owner needs to be designated by the utility. This may be one person or multiple people. The project manager is defined as the person who will be the primary contact person or liaison with PCS. This individual will also coordinate the utility's staff schedules for training and other system installation efforts. This activity spans the entire duration of the installation and continues throughout the relationship between the utility and PCS. Many decisions and considerations will need to be evaluated throughout the installation. The application owner is the primary vested decision maker. Typically, this is an individual at the management level who is responsible for the majority of the users and the associated processes, procedures and information managed by the respective application. This individual may not be able to make every decision related to the installation but will be able to identify who needs to be involved in decisions and facilitate involving those appropriate individuals and thus get the decision made. Conversion The utility will need to extract the data from its current application and provide said data in the formats as requested by PCS. Should the utility not have the skill set to do this effort, or simply desires PCS to take a more active role in this process that is also a workable solution. The utility's staff will also need to work with PCS in conversion data verification. PCS has developed standard conversion tools for converting core data. Utilit-e Insight conversion includes general ledger accounts and monthly balances for current and prior year; accounts payable vendors and addresses; fixed assets and current balances; accounts receivable other customers and addresses; inventory items and current quantity and balances; payroll employees; open work orders/projects. Utilit-e Connect conversion includes accounts, applicants, addresses, locations, services, and meters. Other optional data conversion, such as detail history, budget, ACH, landlords and messages, is converted as needed based on the utility's business requirements. In the additional areas, whether data is converted manually, or it is automated is based on the volume and integrity of the existing data. In the past, some utilities have elected to manually enter data for which they either have a low volume or their existing data needs some cleanup work that would be easiest to address as a part of the conversion effort. When converting detail history, commonly, thirteen months of data is converted but more history can be converted if desired. Utility personnel requirements: Typically, this requires one or two utility staff. An individual with the technical capabilities to create the data export routines and an individual knowledgeable of all the data in the system and how it relates. This may be the same or various individuals. The City of Seward, Alaska pg. 19 146 Professional Computer Solutions, LLC Reshaping the Future of Utility Technology Design and Analysis/Programming/Testing & Acceptance Testing Design and analysis/programming/testing is primarily a responsibility of PCS. These are the efforts required if the utility desires any application modifications. Acceptance testing is primarily the responsibility of the utility. Throughout the installation, PCS will provide the utility with opportunities to test the system to ensure the end result meets the utility's needs. Some of this testing is incorporated into the training classes. Other areas may require special testing efforts. The utility will also be an integral part of the conversion data verification process. PCS employs standard quality assurance testing methodologies. Programming modification testing includes code review, unit testing and systems regression testing as deemed necessary. Implementation testing includes using the application during all phases of training with recalculations of areas such as billing calculations. The training is designed to simulate a month's worth of activity and provides the utility opportunity to test and confirm the converted data, application setup and any programming modifications that may have been made. This testing and confirmation process enables the utility to confirm the application is functioning as discussed and understood. If anything is identified that does not conform to the utility's expectations, the issues are discussed and resolutions determined as how to proceed. For customer statements and other client customer sensitive areas, statistical sampling methodologies are used to attain a very high level of assurance. For example, as a part of each Utilit-e Connect installation, PCS conducts quality assurance testing of the bill calculations and statements. A statistical random sampling is selected, and the bills are each manually recalculated, and the statement presentation verified. This testing is done jointly between PCS and the utility staff. Two separate groups of PCS testers are engaged in this effort. One group is the application support/deployment team. These testers are outside of the primary deployment team for the installation to ensure that an additional level of scrutiny is reviewing the converted data, bill calculations, application setup and statement presentation. Under that same premise, the second PCS group involved in the testing is outside of the application support/deployment team. This group of testers provides the aspect of looking at the end product, or in this case the statement, more through the eyes of the end customer. The third group involved in the testing is the utility staff. The scrutiny provided in the test by the utility staff is that of ensuring nothing was misunderstood in the requirements as conveyed between the utility and PCS as to what the end result is to be. This three -pronged approach provides a multi -faceted net to identify any unwanted outcomes. Determining the specific extent and nature of the test plan including parallel processing is a part of the Discovery process of an installation, as well as, the definition/design process of every product development project. Utility personnel requirements: The project manager and/or functional area specialists perform acceptance testing to ensure the solution meets the desired end result. The City of Seward, Alaska pg. 20 147 Professional Computer Solutions, LLC Reshaping the Future of Utility Technology Training PCS provides intensive and thorough training classes. The training is designed to equip the users with knowledge and confidence prior to implementing their new Utilit-e Solutions Suite. Throughout the partnership, PCS offers on -going training classes. Various classes are designed for beginners, refresher training, advanced training, as well as, training on new features. End -user training on the application software is accomplished in a variety of ways. Initial training at the time of implementation is normally done face-to-face either at the client's office or at the PCS training facility. Each application includes a standard number of training hours, which can be tailored to suit the client's needs. Refresher training is offered remotely via the Internet or in PCS's classroom facility. A list of the training classes is available to clients on the PCS website at www.pcs-csa.com. Special requests for training are handled on an individual basis as needed at the client's office, remotely or at the PCS training facility. Regional training classes are also offered when the needs of multiple utilities dictate. The PCS trainers, in conjunction with the project managers from both the utility and PCS, conduct on -going analysis of the trainee's comprehension and understanding of what is being trained. This is accomplished via classroom observation, training quizzes or tests, monitoring of practice sessions, and role playing. When it is identified that an individual user or group of users are struggling, the project managers discuss the best approach to get the individuals to the point they need to be. This may be the scheduling of additional group training classes or providing one-on-one training either by PCS or a mentor from the utility. For initial installation training, all end users are involved. The amount of training varies based on job function. For example, the customer service representatives and billing clerks will be involved in more training than others. Training can be conducted at PCS, at the client site or remotely via the Internet or a combination thereof. Supplemental training or on -going training is primarily conducted remotely via the Internet but can also be done at the client site or at PCS as needed. When training is onsite, the utility is responsible for providing a training area and sufficient number of workstations. Utility personnel requirements: A minimum of two to four individuals need to be trained on the entire application. Others will be trained in respective areas as job functions dictate. To help ensure the quality of training and retention of information by the trainees, trainees need dedicated time for classes and interruptions should be kept at a minimum. PCS provides "hands-on" training. The training is done using the utility's data. Following is a list of training classes/topics covered in the Utilit-e Connect training. Utilit-e Connect Training Class Topics Service Orders Cashiering Readings Billing / Adjustments / Deposits Delinquency Meters Inquiry Month End / Balancing The City of Seward, Alaska pg. 21 148 Professional Computer Solutions, LLC Reshaping the Future of Utility Technology Following is a list of training classes/topics covered in the Utilit-e Insight training. r Utilit-e Insight Training Class Topics System Manager Accounts Payable Accounts Receivable Other Budgeting Cash Manager General Ledger Fixed Assets Inventory Payroll & Time Entry Purchase Orders Live Date/Implementation PCS provides onsite support during live implementation. The purpose of live implementation is to ensure the successful utilization of the application. The deployment team is onsite to guide the users through the first real life encounters of various situations, as well as, to assist and resolve any unexpected items that may arise. For a typical installation of the size and type comparable to the utility, the Billing/CIS installation team will have one to two people onsite one or two weeks during the initial live month. For the accounting/FIS implementation, typically three to four weeks of one to two people onsite. The number of days onsite and which weeks are discussed are determined in the Discovery process. Factors taken into consideration in these discussions include when and how often the utility bills, how many users there are, volume of various activities, any utility specific complexities and the overall comfort level and preference of the utility. Common activities for onsite support include the first live bill production, first payroll check processing, month end and the first days of being live. When the installation team is not onsite, the PCS team can access the utility's systems remotely and determine the user's need and assist them as required. By using the Internet and virtual private network (VPN), PCS can connect to the utility's server and/or user's workstations. So, if a user experiences a problem at a particular point in the application, PCS can access the workstation and see exactly what the user is seeing to determine the problem and provide resolution. Similarly, PCS can establish control of the workstation or server and correct the problem in real time. At all times whether onsite or remote, the PCS installation team has the support of the entire PCS team if and as needed to assist. If at any time throughout the install, the utility or PCS sees a need for additional onsite support adjustments can be made as needed. Utility personnel requirements: All staff interacting with the application. The City of Seward, Alaska pg. 22 149 Professional Computer Solutions, LLC Reshaping the Future of Utility Technology Post Installation Training In addition to the pre -live training, an onsite follow up training trip is conducted two to four months after going live. The purpose of this training is to review areas now in use and go into deeper explanations of these areas as the users are ready to explore. This session is also designed to address specific topics or procedures identified throughout the implementation process that may need further fine tuning. Utility personnel requirements: All staff interacting with the application. On -going Partnership & Client Satisfaction As stated above, the on -going partnership and relationship with each and every client is very important to PCS as a company, as well as, to the individual employees of PCS. Each member of the PCS team takes pride and ownership in working with and assisting all clients. The PCS support structure enables the utility to build a close relationship with its installation project managers which directly rolls into the on -going support role. Your calls and questions will be directed to the individuals with whom you are familiar, with backup support from a full complement of PCS support team members as needs dictate. Additionally, PCS will make periodic onsite visits to understand both the management and users' current needs, as well as, how PCS can provide further service and assistance.

PCS Implementation Team A project manager will be assigned to the Seward Utilit-e Connect installation. This individual is not only a product specialist but also highly versed in the utility industry as it relates to the applications. PCS installation/support team has an average tenure of fifteen years which provides the team a wealth of experience and knowledge working with utilities. The project manager is the primary contact and coordinator with the utility staff from the point of starting the Discovery process and continuing throughout the entire installation — conversion, testing, training, going live and on -going support. Once the installation is complete, the project manager continues to be the primary support person for the utility. PCS provides a specific contact person for each utility. As stated, the primary support person is involved throughout the actual installation. Each primary support person is backed up by a secondary support person who in turn is backed up by the entire application support team. Each team is comprised of individuals who have personally experienced the implementation process and have significant knowledge of the PCS applications. A support call to PCS does not go into a support queue, but rather goes to the primary or secondary support person. This team is dedicated to call the utility back within a four-hour period with most support calls/emails being addressed in a shorter timeframe, if not immediately. The specific project manager for the installation is assigned when the contract is signed. The determination of which project manager is assigned to the install is based on a combination of factors including the needs and overall background of the utility including the future desired direction the utility is taking. PCS matches up the needs of the utility to the background and experience of the various installation project managers on staff to form the best fit for success. The City of Seward, Alaska pg. 24 151 Professional Computer Solutions, LLC Reshaping the Future of Utility Technology E. Training & Support Training End -user training on the application software is accomplished in a variety of ways. Initial training at the time of implementation is normally done face-to-face either at the client's office or at the PCS training facility. Refresher training is offered remotely via the Internet or in PCS's classroom facility. Special requests for training are handled on an individual basis as needed at the client's office or at the PCS training facility. Regional training classes are also offered when the needs of multiple utilities dictate. In addition, PCS offers various webinars on a regular basis throughout the year. Training/Test Environment In addition to the process described above in the PCS Implementation Methodology, the standard implementation includes a production and test or training database on the production server running the production release. Some utilities elect (and this is encouraged by PCS) to also implement a test server housing a test database. This environment is updated with the newest release allowing the users to review in advance prior to putting the release into production. Documentation & Help System The website includes a wealth of information related to products, services, meetings, registration for webinars and news events. Included on the website is a comprehensive client area where a user can find documentation, release notes, access to previous webinars, and product related information. PCS is currently in design/development of a new comprehensive help system that will provide access to documentation, how to videos, FAQ's and release notes. Content specific help will be available directly from the current screen as well as access to the full help suite from any screen. In addition, the help system will provide access to webinar information and registration, newsletter access and remote support link. These components are available today, but the new system will focus on ease of use and accessibility for the end user. Support Services Support services consist of analysis of systems to determine causes of reported problems, telephone and e-mail response to questions in application use, and troubleshooting. These support services are provided on an unlimited hours basis during regular business hours (7:30AM to 6:OOPM Central Time Monday through Friday). It is PCS policy that all client calls will be responded to within four business hours. PCS also provides 24 x 7 emergency support. Support services also included — at minimal additional cost: 1) Scheduled training classes at PCS offices or remotely via the Internet* 2) Annual PCS User Group Meeting 3) Any regional meetings that PCS may schedule periodically. *Classes offered related to third party software are offered at an additional charge. The City of Seward, Alaska pg. 25 152 Professional Computer Solutions, LLC Reshaping the Future of Utility Technology Through technology resources in place today, it is possible for PCS support staff to access the utility's systems remotely and determine the user's need and assist them as required. By using the Internet and virtual private network (VPN), PCS can connect to the utility's server and/or user's workstations. So, if a user experiences a problem at a particular point in the application, PCS can access the workstation and see exactly what the user is seeing to determine the problem and resolution. Similarly, PCS can establish control of the workstation or server and correct the problem in real time. Network Support Services PCS offers network, hardware and third -party application support services. These services are intended to assist client IT staff as needed. It is provided at discounted prepaid rates. Updates/Upgrades Updates/upgrades are normally provided annually. Software patches are provided as needed. Enhancements are prioritized by PCS management based on many factors. Clients have substantial input on those decisions. The enhancements made to each application are a part of the on -going development of the Utilit-e Solutions Suite and are driven by several factors. PCS has product "roadmaps" for each application, which incorporate numerous lists of ideas. This roadmap is used as the guideline for future development. Ideas are derived from current clients, prospective clients, the market in general, the utility industry, and PCS' innovative ideas. The timing of when an item is developed is a decision PCS makes based on these same factors plus the availability of PCS resources — both development budget and staff. Application changes required by Federal, state or regulatory bodies are provided as needed. Releases are programmed, tested and available for deployment on a monthly basis. Deployment of releases are scheduled between the utility staff and its primary support person. Generally, utilities do not get every release, but each release is available to them as needs dictate. The PCS team installs the release on the scheduled date outside of the utility's normal business hours. Development in process that will be available in upcoming releases is conveyed in the PCS newsletters. Once a release is completed, the release notes are provided from the Help menu within the application. User Group PCS clients are encouraged to share their views on how PCS can better serve them. Annual User Group meetings, webinars, and training classes via the Internet and/or at PCS allow PCS clients to come together for training, review new software, share ideas on software enhancements, and discuss future products. User letters and the PCS website offer clients news of the industry and provide information on PCS product direction and future product development. PCS also conducts periodic regional meetings hosted at various locations throughout the country.

The City of Seward, Alaska Thank You For Your Consideration Of This Quote pg. 30 157 Professional Computer Solutions, LLC Reshaping the Future of Utility Technology Additional Note: Credit Card & e-Check Payment Gateway Currently, Payment Service Network (PSN) provides the payment gateway to process credit cards and e-Checks. The utility would sign up directly with PSN, then PCS uses the PSN Gateway to process all credit cards and e-Checks. PSN fees include (subject to change by PSN): o One-time setup fee of $99. o $19.95 monthly maintenance fee. o $100 annual security compliance fee (not billed until Dec 1st). o PSN can provide a fee structure for handling credit cards and e-Checks. o PSN also negotiates with the utility how "Convenience" fees could be assessed. If the utility will be processing credit cards in the office in a face-to-face manner with the utility customer, the utility will need to purchase an EMV certified terminal for handling the credit card. PSN sells several models and the one-time cost for the terminal typically runs between $300- $500. PSN provides several methods to make payment including cashiering, mobile, web portal, IVR, Kiosk, payment terminals, bank bill pay, quick pay and others. For this quote, PCS is proposing to start with cashiering, web portal and mobile app. PCS is also in the process of integrating with another payment gateway provider. This option is likely to be available in 2026. Software & Hardware Platform PCS is providing two separate hardware environments for consideration. PCS has a service for hosting called Utilit-e Central. This reference means the application resides at the PCS hosting center in Denison, IA and not located at the utility. The second section, In-house Hardware Solution, provides the minimum specifications for an in-house solution. PCS will facilitate either option. Hosting Utilit-e Central (hosting) is an innovative method of delivering software applications via the Internet.

Box 167 Seward, AK 99664 Subject: Purchase Order Update for Electric Rate Services and PCS Software Implementation Support Dear Taylor, Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to support the Utility in two critical areas of its operational and financial planning: (1) the preparation of a comprehensive electric rate study, and (2) implementation assistance for the PCS software platform. Each of these projects plays an essential role in strengthening the Utility's financial foundation, modernizing its systems, and positioning Seward Electric Utility for long-term operational success. The electric rate study will evaluate the Utility's revenue requirements, cost -of -service allocations, and rate design structure to ensure that rates are fair, equitable, and aligned with Seward's financial goals, customer needs, and industry best practices. The study will examine current and projected financial conditions, assess how costs are incurred across customer classes, and develop rate alternatives — including heat pump and DER tariff options —that support beneficial electrification, cost recovery, and long-term financial stability. The final report will give management and decision -makers a clear, transparent roadmap for setting cost -based electric rates for 2026-2030. In parallel, the PCS software implementation work will help ensure that the Utility's financial systems, work order processes, fixed assets, payroll, and reporting functions are configured correctly, tested thoroughly, and aligned with the RUS Uniform System of Accounts. With Seward's new RUS-based chart of accounts already designed and mapped, my experience assisting electric utilities with COA implementation, work order development, fixed asset integration, and financial system conversions — combined with PCS's technical capabilities —will help ensure the system is configured accurately and efficiently. This support will facilitate clean data migration from AccuFund, strengthen internal controls, streamline financial and operational reporting, and deliver a system foundation that meets industry and regulatory expectations. Together, these two engagements will enhance Seward Electric Utility's financial transparency, operational efficiency, rate stability, and strategic planning. I am excited about the opportunity to work on these projects and look forward to discussing them further. Please contact me with any questions or we can set up a meeting for a discussion.

Overall services to be provided The Seward Electric Utility (Utility) is seeking services in two areas: 1. Preparing an electric rate study 2. Assistance with implementing a new software platform (PCS) for its financial accounting and other major systems. The services are described as follows: 2. Electric rate study - Revenue requirement, Cost of service, and Rate design The purpose of this engagement is to conduct a comprehensive electric rate study to ensure that the Utility's rates are fair, equitable, cost -based, and aligned with industry standards and financial best practices. The study will evaluate the Utility's current and projected financial condition, analyze how costs are incurred and assigned to customer classes, and develop rate design options that support financial stability, customer fairness, regulatory compliance, and policy goals. This scope outlines the major tasks involved in developing the revenue requirement, cost -of -service (COS) study, and rate design recommendations. Task 1 — Project Initiation and Data Collection The rate study begins with a structured project kickoff to confirm objectives, schedule, assumptions, and communication protocols. The following activities will be completed: • Meet with Utility management to review goals, concerns, and guiding principles. • Identify policy considerations such as affordability, rate stability, financial targets, general fund transfers, reserve policies, or cost -recovery objectives. • Provide a detailed data request including historical financial records, budgets, load data, customer counts, billing determinants, power supply information, and capital improvement plans. • Review any regulatory or statutory requirements that affect rate -setting. • Assess recent performance indicators, previous rate actions, and revenue sufficiency trends. Deliverable: Kickoff meeting summary and confirmed project schedule. Task 2 — Develop the Test Year Revenue Requirement The study determines the annual revenue necessary for the Utility to meet its budgeted operating expenses, debt service, general fund transfers, and capital requirements. The revenue requirement will be based on a 5-year forecast for the years 2026 — 2030. Activities include: • Evaluate operating and maintenance expenses, administrative and general costs, customer service costs, and general fund transfers. • Review power supply costs and determine appropriate treatment of generation, purchased power, transmission, and other passthrough costs. • Evaluate capital additions, plant retirements, and construction work in progress (CWIP). • Identify debt service, interest expenses, coverage ratios, and financial targets and ratios (bond coverage, cash reserves). 170 • Adjust historical costs as needed to reflect normalized operations. • Determine required revenues to meet ongoing operational, capital, and debt -service needs. Deliverable: Revenue Requirement Model and Test Year Revenue Requirement Report. Task 3 — Conduct Cost -of -Service (COS) Analysis The COS study allocates the Utility's revenue requirement to customer classes based on cost causation and industry standard methodologies. This analysis ensures that each class contributes appropriately to system costs relative to the services they receive. Activities include: • Functionalize costs into generation, production, transmission, distribution, customer, and administrative functions. • Classify costs as demand -related, energy -related, and customer -related. • Allocate costs to customer classes based on load characteristics, billing determinants, peak responsibility, and service requirements. • Analyze customer class revenue recovery versus allocated costs to identify subsidies, imbalances, or misalignments. • Evaluate equity among customer classes and compare results to industry benchmarks. Deliverable: Cost -of -Service Analysis Model and Summary Report. Task 4 — Develop Rate Design Alternatives and Recommendations Based on the results of the COS study, rate structures are developed that are aligned with the Utility's financial goals, policy directives, and customer class cost responsibilities. Recommended rates will be designed for a 5-year period for the years 2026 — 2030. Activities include: • Review existing rate schedules and identify strengths and potential improvements. • Design rate options including customer charges, energy charges, demand charges, seasonal or time -of -use rates (if applicable), and other components. • Model revenue impacts and customer bill effects under each rate alternative. • Evaluate rate stability, customer impacts, and ease of administration. • Recommend final rate structures that reflect cost -of -service results, regulatory guidance, and Utility priorities. • Prepare illustrative examples of how proposed rates affect typical customer bills. Developing new rates Electric heat pump rates It was indicated that the utility wished to implement electric heat pump rates in its rate tariff. The development of an electric heat pump rate will include a detailed analysis of the incremental load characteristics, seasonal demand patterns, and cost -causation factors associated with residential and commercial heat pump installations. 171 Using the results of the revenue requirement and cost -of -service study, the marginal and embedded costs driven by heat -pump adoption and design a rate structure will be evaluated —such as optional, seasonal, or time -of -use —that aligns with system economics and electrification policy objectives. The study will include bill impact modeling, and rate design alternatives that promote beneficial electrification while ensuring equity, cost recovery, and long-term financial stability for the utility. Distributed Energy Resource (DER) rates As part of the rate study, a Distributed Energy Resource (DER) tariff can be developed tailored to Seward's unique load characteristics, power supply costs, and seasonal operating conditions. This will include designing a rate structure —such as a minimum bill, grid access charge, or seasonal export rate — that maintains revenue stability while supporting customer adoption and meets legislative requirements of Alaska's net metering program. Deliverable: Rate Design Model, Bill Impact Analysis, and Recommended Rate Schedules. Task 5 — Meetings, Presentations, and Final Reporting The Utility will be provided with clear communication, documentation, and presentations throughout the study. Activities include: • Provide progress updates with Utility management and staff. • Conduct work sessions to review preliminary findings and rate scenarios. • Prepare a comprehensive final report summarizing the revenue requirement, COS analysis, and rate design recommendations. • Present results to management, key stakeholders, or City Council as requested. • Provide electronic versions of all rate models, tables, and rate schedules for the Utility's use in the future. Deliverables: • Draft and Final Electric Rate Study Report • Presentation materials for staff, Board, or Council • Editable Excel models for Revenue Requirement, COS, and Rate Design 172 Rate Study Fees The estimated fees for rate study services are shown in the following table. The project fees are based on a rate of $230 per hour. Task Description Hours Fees 1 Project kick-off meeting and status updates 6 2 5-year revenue requirement 22 3 Cost of service analysis 22 4 Rate design 20 5 Present draft report to utility management 6 6 Report presentation to City Council as directed 4 Total Hours and Services Fees 80 $18,400 Travel Expenses $2,200 Total Fees and Travel Expenses $20,600 Project Timeline The study can begin on notification from the Utility, and it is estimated to take 8 — 12 weeks to complete. The electric rate study will provide the Utility with a comprehensive evaluation of its revenue requirements, cost -of -service allocations, and rate design structure to ensure that rates are fair, equitable, and reflective of the Utility's true cost of providing service. Through financial modeling, cost allocation analysis, and development of rate alternatives, the study will help the Utility achieve long-term financial stability while supporting customer affordability and regulatory best practices. The final report will give management and governing bodies a clear roadmap for implementing cost -based rates and making informed decisions about future pricing and financial planning. 6 173 3.

The DEC — Clean Water Fund provided funding to the City of Seward for a rate study to address ongoing revenue shortfalls in the water and wastewater enterprise funds and to ensure adequate and prudent funding for operations, maintenance, and essential capital improvements. The City's five-year budget projections show expenditures outpacing revenues, raising concerns about long-term financial sustainability and the City's ability to meet current and future State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan obligations. To address projected budget shortfalls and strengthen long-term fiscal stability, the DEC loan required the City to conduct a comprehensive rate study in conjunction with project initiation. This study should evaluate current financial conditions and ensure that any necessary rate adjustments are implemented. While the fully subsidized loan offers the City a valuable opportunity to invest in critical wastewater treatment improvements that might otherwise be financially unattainable, without proactive fiscal measures to improve financial resilience, the SRF program may face increased risk of loan default on existing or future obligations.

Box 167 434 6th Avenue Seward, AK 99664 Subject: Proposal to Perform Water and Sewer Rate Study Dear Mr. Schoessler: GovRates, Inc. ("GovRates" or the "Consultant") greatly appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to provide utility rate consulting services to the City of Seward, Alaska (the "City"). This proposal provides a scope of services and not -to -exceed budget for performing a water and sewer rate study (the "Project"). Scope of Services The following is a detailed overview of the major tasks to be performed for the Project. Many of the tasks are interrelated and will be performed concurrently. Task 1: Administration and Coordination with the City The Consultant will work with the City staff to initiate the Project; review compiled information; finalize management goals and objectives for the Project; establish financial policies and targets; recognize key issues to be addressed during the analyses; and identify primary staff members to interview as part of the financial planning process. We will discuss with the City staff any legal, operational, economic, or political constraints that may exist. The Consultant uses Microsoft Teams and other virtual platforms to provide real-time review of our financial / rate models and Project deliverables with clients. Teams sessions: ➢ Are very cost-effective, as they eliminate travel time and expenses. ➢ Can be scheduled with minimal lead time. GR CERTIFIED MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT * �� joj1M!b0 2 188 GovRates Utility, Financial, Rate, and Management Consultants for Governments www.govrates.com Allow the working group to have more frequent meetings to communicate results, ideas, plans, and strategies as well as to address issues and help keep the Project on schedule and within budget. We will establish a shared Project folder via Microsoft Teams to enable working group members to share files (e.g., data and deliverables). All of the data will be organized in the shared Project folder so that working group members can see what has been provided. Forty (40) hours of the Project Manager's time have been budgeted for meetings that may include: Meeting with the City staff. Meeting with the City Council. Meeting with stakeholders or other interested parties. Other meetings for the Project are anticipated to be conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams or another virtual platform. Task 2: Data Collection and Review To perform the rate study as efficiently as possible, the Consultant will collect as much information as possible at the beginning of the study process. A detailed data request will be prepared for the City staff to compile information pertaining to the operation of the utility systems. This information will include customer and sales statistics, budgets, the multi -year capital improvement program, fund / cash balances, monthly operating reports / treatment information, debt repayment schedules and corresponding debt agreements, etc. We anticipate that follow-up data requests may be required during the course of the study. We will review compiled information as soon as it is received to identify current issues. One of our fundamental goals is to ensure that the Project is performed efficiently and cost-effectively and that we make the best use of City staff time during onsite and virtual meetings. As previously mentioned, we will organize the data in a shared Project folder. Task 3: Water and Sewer User Rates Historical Customer Statistical Compilation The Consultant will compile historical customer statistics for 2024 and 2025 based on reports generated from the City's billing system to evaluate trends in customer growth; billed consumption / sales / flow; and the average billed usage or flow per customer. The Consultant will apply the customer statistics to the City's rates for the historical period to derive revenue totals. If the revenues reconcile within the acceptable limits, the Consultant will have assurance GR * ccfm CERTIFIED CER-MILD GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT DNANCNL MANAGER III Page 2 of 12 MSR6REGISTERED MUNICIPAL ADVISOR 189 GovRates Utility, Financial, Rate, and Management Consultants for Governments www.govrates.com that the detailed financial model would provide a reasonable platform from which to make customer and revenue projections. Projected Customer Statistics, User Rate Revenues, and Other Operating Revenues The Consultant will prepare a forecast of customers and usage requirements by class for the City's water and sewer systems. The forecast will include the current budget year and extend up to 10 additional years (collectively, the "Forecast Period"). Based on the detailed customer billing information and corresponding forecast of customer growth and use, the Consultant will develop user rate revenue projections for the Forecast Period. The revenue forecast will also include projections of operating revenues other than user rate revenues and interest income (both unrestricted and restricted based on statutory and case law and as defined in documents associated with the City's anticipated debt). The financial model will have the flexibility to automatically adjust the rate / revenue projections based on changes in rates, consumption, and customer accounts. Development of Projected Revenue Requirements The Consultant will prepare a financial projection of the net revenue requirements for the water and sewer systems that represent the funding requirements to be recovered through the user fee revenues. The Consultant will consider: Recent historical financial operations. Budgeted operations and maintenance expenses. Any expected cost trends or incremental operating expenses anticipated, such as pay studies or due to upgrades as a result of regulatory requirements and other investments included in the multi -year capital improvement plan. Multi -year capital improvement program and projected funding sources. Any other funding criteria as provided by the City. Other non -operating revenue requirements such as interfund transfers, debt service, and renewal / replacement funding requirements. The financial models will have the flexibility to automatically adjust the financial forecast and projected rate adjustments based on changes identified by the City staff such as: New facilities / infrastructure improvements and vehicle replacements. Staffing changes. Adjustments to capital needs. The Consultant will work with the City staff to evaluate and recommend minimum reserve fund balances and policies related to financial performance.

The operating expenses are anticipated to be projected in budgetary format. Major cost categories include personnel salaries and benefits, utilities, and chemicals. Capital Improvement Program Funding Analysis — This analysis involves i) reviewing in detail the multi -year capital improvement program and other engineering planning documents for the utility systems; and ii) performing a funding analysis to identify available sources of funds for financing of the capital improvement program and the estimated level of utility rate revenues needed throughout the Forecast Period. The analysis will also include an evaluation of the City's bonding capability and the development of a flow of funds analysis to evaluate cash flow balances in each specific fund of the utility systems and to estimate interest income earned on unrestricted and restricted fund balances. A component of the capital improvement program funding analysis will be the identification of a renewal and replacement funding policy or funding plan for the Forecast Period which will be included as i) a component of the revenue requirements to be recovered from rates; and ii) a source of funds for the capital improvement program funding analysis. The ultimate funding level reflected in the revenue sufficiency analysis will depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to i) compliance with the rate covenants pursuant to documents associated with outstanding and anticipated debt; ii) rate impacts; iii) overall capital program needs; and iv) current asset service lives. Other Revenue Requirements — To meet the financial obligations of the water and sewer utility systems, the Consultant will review the various financial aspects of the systems to potentially recognize other revenue requirements that may need to be allocated or included in the financial forecast. We will assist in the identification of financial benchmarks and policies / practices (in addition to those identified in the City's current fiscal policies or practices) in terms of: Working capital maintenance. Funding of deposits to the renewal and replacement fund (or capital fund equivalent). Compliance with the rate covenants as defined in documents associated with outstanding debt. Funding of departmental capital for items such as vehicles and equipment. Any General Fund or other transfer requirements that may be associated with the water and sewer systems.

The financial models will contain a sources and uses of funds tab. The projected sources of funds will equal the uses of funds for each scenario. Rate Covenant Compliance Review — This task will be conducted to satisfy the rate covenant requirements and the flow of fund requirements as defined in documents associated with the outstanding and anticipated / projected utility system debt. The compliance analyses will be performed for the Forecast Period to promote the financial integrity of the utility systems. It is advisable to establish debt service coverage targets above the minimum coverage required to provide net revenues after the payment of debt service for pay-as-you-go reinvestment in the utility systems. The Consultant will prepare a management dashboard as part of the financial model development to allow the City to analyze the forecasted financial position of each utility system, to evaluate funding and rate scenarios, and to determine potential risks and business strategies. The management dashboard will graphically represent financial and operational metrics that add value to the presentation of the financial forecast results for each scenario that the City would like to explore. The graphs may include projections of: Revenue requirements. Debt service coverage. Cash position such as Days Cash on Hand. Cash balances by fund. Capital improvement program funding sources. Outstanding debt and debt service payments. Outstanding debt -to -net assets. Outstanding debt per customer and per capita. Operating ratio or margin. Affordability based on median household income. Any other financial or operational metrics which add value to the presentation of the results. Cost -of -Service Analysis, Rate / Fee Designs, and Customer Impact Analysis For each applicable year of rate design, the Consultant will classify the various revenue requirements among the customer classes and rate structure components to assist in the CR CERTIFIED MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT * �� --'- MSRBAFGiSTFRFD * MUNICIPAL MIMED GOVERNMENT III ADVISOR FINANCIAL MANAGER Page 5 of 12 192 GovRates Utility, Financial, Rate, and Management Consultants for Governments www.govrates.com evaluation of cost -based rates and overall cost recovery strategies. The Consultant will design rates for service based on: D. Customer class / service type. ➢ Cost classification analyses / unit cost and customer class costs. ➢ Cost classifications by rate structure component. ➢ Consideration of historical rate form. ➢ Customer impact. • City goals and objectives regarding pricing policy. Some other key considerations for the rate designs are competitiveness and the avoidance of "rate shock." For any proposed rate design, the Consultant will prepare a customer impact analysis (e.g., effect on monthly bills for each customer class / service type) as well as pros and cons of the alternative. The Consultant will work with the City staff to possibly develop an updated indexing or automatic rate increase provision to annually adjust the monthly user rates for inflation without the need for a public hearing. Task 4: Review of Miscellaneous Service Charges With respect to the utility's miscellaneous service charges, the Consultant will: Work with the City staff to determine miscellaneous service charges which should be updated as well as potential additional fees for service (revenue enhancement). For all applicable fees, identify the costs of providing service by component including (but not limited to) labor and time, vehicle and equipment use, parts and materials, customer service related costs, etc. Determine appropriate indexing provisions to annually adjust the miscellaneous service charges for inflation without the need for a public hearing. Based on data availability, prepare a comparison of the existing and proposed miscellaneous service charges with those of other Alaska utilities. Perform a general review of the utility tariffs to determine if the City may want to modernize any current policies. Prepare a report with our findings and recommendations. Provide assistance with the miscellaneous service charge resolution / tariff and staff memorandum.

The Consultant strongly believes in the principles of full disclosure in all of our deliverables. Detailing our assumptions, methodologies, and findings will help the City staff reconcile projected vs. actual results and will provide assurance that all relevant operational and financial considerations were incorporated into the financial forecast. We will review the rate resolutions or tariffs prepared by the City staff or attorney in association with the Project as well as the executive summaries prepared by the City staff for consistency with the recommendations. The Consultant will prepare briefing documents (PowerPoint presentations) as applicable to summarize the Project results for presentation to the City Council and public. The Consultant will provide multiple drafts of the briefing documents for City staff review and comment prior to finalization of the briefing documents. LIST OF PROJECT DELIVERABLES The anticipated deliverables to be provided during the study include the following items: Initial data request for information compilation. High-level financial and rate worksheet — drafts and final. Rate schedule and comparison of existing and proposed rates with those of neighboring or other Alaska jurisdictions. Comprehensive rate study report providing the assumptions, findings, and conclusions of the study — drafts and final. Briefing document for presentation of study results to the City Council and public — drafts and final. Not -to -Exceed Budget for Project For our level of experience and expertise, the Consultant offers top value for the services we provide. We propose to establish a not -to -exceed budget for the Project of $37,000, reflecting a level of service of up to 312 hours to complete the Project. Since the Consultant is very experienced, the Project would be completed efficiently and cost-effectively. A breakdown of this not -to -exceed budget starts on the following page.

Rate consultants and financial feasibility consultants are considered to be municipal advisory professionals by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the "MSRB") since it is recognized that such firms regularly engage in municipal advisory activities when debt financing is involved. After September 12, 2017, all municipal advisory professionals must have passed the Municipal Advisor Representative Qualification Examination (the "Series 50 Exam") to engage in municipal advisory activities. Municipal advisory activities as recognized in the Securities and Exchange Commission's Release No. 34-70462: Final Rule on Registration of Municipal Advisors include: Evaluating available financing options to the City and providing advice / recommendations on the structure, timing, and terms of such options. Providing advice on whether certain rates and revenues would support debt service and meet coverage requirements on an available financing option to the City. Performing cash flow modeling in support of financing options. Serving as a financial feasibility consultant for a City bond issue. Providing financing advice / recommendations to the City's independent registered financial advisor if the need arises (i.e., indirect advice). The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has provided subsequent positions that municipal advisor registration is also required for a firm to perform the financial aspects of a State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan application. GovRates is registered with both the SEC and the MSRB as a Municipal Advisor. All GovRates project managers have passed the Series 50 Exam and, as such, meet the legal requirements for providing any debt financing support to the City. Moreover, both Jenny Mantz, the CEO of GovRates, and Bryan Mantz, the Project Manager, are Series 54-qualified Municipal Advisor Principals and can legally supervise other municipal advisor representatives. Project Schedule Based on discussions with the City staff, completion of the Project is dependent on the City's receiving engineering cost estimates for certain capital needs. A mid-2026 completion date is targeted so that customers can incorporate any anticipated water and sewer bill increases into 2027 budgets. Liability Insurance GovRates is fully insured for any rate and financial work that the City may need. The City has copies of the GovRates ACORD liability insurance certificates.

I September 2025 R&M CONSULTANTS, INC. Project Management, Planning, Civil Engineering KPB ARCHITECTS Architectural and Landscape Architecture 209 INTRODUCTION The City of Seward contracted with R&M Consultants, Inc. (R&M) and KPB Architects (KPB) to develop a conceptual design for the South Harbor Uplands and a new Harbormaster building. This effort implements the 2023-2024 Seward Municipal Land Management Plan recommendation for Harbor Uplands improvements to include a new Harbormaster Office, leased retail buildings, parking and bathroom facilities, and park improvements. KPB and R&M conducted a comprehensive assessment of the South Uplands and the existing Harbormaster building, which included a written questionnaire, physical walk-throughs, plans, policy and recorded document research, and detailed conversations with city staff. Following the assessment, KPB and R&M engaged in an interactive design charrette with staff to identify future needs and develop space diagrams for a new harbormaster building and the Uplands site. The final concept designs were developed through multiple rounds of review and modifications with the Harbormaster, Parks Director, and Deputy City Manager. The conceptual designs are intended to provide clear direction for future detailed design and construction efforts and moves the project into a `ready' status, eligible to receive potential state and federal funding. Site -specific recommendations and summaries have been developed based on in person observations, locally available aerial imagery, and data from public sources. No ground survey or geotechnical engineering was performed to support this concept level design; actual topography and soil data may differ and will be required prior to development. 210 R&M Consultants, Inc. and KPB Architects PLANNING CHARRETTE CITY OF SEWARD Harbormaster Building & South Uplands Improvements • September 8, 2025 SOUTH UPLANDS MASTERPLAN HARBORMASTER BUILDING ig6'6i, b� Gs�O�y. L�11) - f • w L 211 R&M Consultants, Inc. • KPB Architects BACKGROUND & EXISTING CONDITIONS CITY OF SEWARD Harbormaster Building & South Uplands Improvements • September 8, 2025 South Uplands The South Harbor Uplands was created in 2003 when, through a Project Cooperative Agreement between the Department of Army (Corps) and the City of Seward for construction of harbor improvements, dredging and excavation material was deposited behind the newly extended breakwater to create the Uplands. In 2007, the City authorized the approval for record and accepted the new land. The South Harbor Uplands Plan was written in the following year to provide guidance on how to develop the land to achieve long-term objectives for economic and recreational uses. It was developed through a public process with the Port and Commerce Advisor Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, community members and city staff. The South Harbor Uplands Plan is comprised of advisory elements including zoning, land use, parking and transportation facilities, public facilities and services, and community appearance. The 2008 South Harbor Uplands Plan was reviewed and considered during the development of this concept design. Parcel Summary The South Harbor Uplands provides access to the south launch boat ramp and small boat floats S, M, N, 0 and P, and is primarily used for parking. It also hosts bathroom facilities and the Mariners Memorial, which is on the southeastern edge of the Uplands. Sewer, water and electric utilities are on - site. The western portion of the Uplands parcel adjacent to Fourth Avenue, including the boat launch ramp, is paved and striped for vehicular parking; the remaining majority is gravel. Brick pavers, some landscaping and benches encompass the Mariners Memorial, defining a passive recreational space. There is an approximate four -to -six-foot elevation change between the paved and gravel areas, further defined by some vegetation and landscaping boulders. There is a drive aisle connecting the two areas of the South Uplands and curb stops are occasionally provided along the exterior of the unpaved area. No other on -site circulation or parking features are present. Parking on the South Uplands is a free for all, with parking and driving patterns defined by the first few vehicles to park in the morning. It is a persistent issue that amplifies during very active harbor days, where Legal Description: T 1S R 1W Sec 3 Seward Meridian SW 2012004 Seward Original Townsite Waterfront Park Replat Tract H (Tract H Seward Original Townsite Waterfront Park Replat, Plat No. 2012-4) Physical Addresses: 1200, 1128, 1130, and 1206 Fourth Avenue Size: 8.7 Acres Zoning District: split zoned, Harbor Commercial and Park y Current Use: parking and access to the south launch boat ramp and transient floats M, N, 0 and P; it also hosts the Mariners Memorial .l IN or 411117111/1 cr inefficient and confusing vehicle movements pose logistical complications for those trying to access the floats or recreate on the Uplands as well as threaten emergency response. While vehicle parking and float access are needed and important functions of the site, the South Uplands could support more diverse land uses. Retail, lodging, restaurants, apartments, campgrounds and parks are all in the immediate vicinity. The South Uplands offers sweeping, stunning views in all directions, including the harbor adjacent to the north, Resurrection Bay to the east and south, and Mount Marathon to the west, making it a potential recreational, tourism, and commercial destination.

However, the building is beyond its useful life and no longer effectively meets operational needs. The Harbormaster's Office is a single -story structure that also houses public restrooms and showers. Its location is no longer ideal, as views of the harbor are obstructed entirely by developed waterfront lease lots and the primary bus stop which services significant volumes of tourism traffic is situated directly outside the building. Results of the questionnaire distributed to current harbor staff revealed a significant lack of space. This finding was corroborated by physical inspection. Specifically, the maintenance shop is too small, lacks adequate storage for wet gear, and does not provide sufficient workspace for transient staff, who comprise five of the twelve employees. Additionally, there is inadequate storage to support the administrative staff, as paper copies of all files must be retained for at least one year, a requirement that cannot currently be met. In addition, there is no designated break room for staff, and the building lacks a direct view of the harbor. CITY OF SEWARD Harbormaster Building & South Uplands Improvements • September 8, 2025 215 R&M Consultants, Inc. • KPB Architects SOUTH UPLANDS CONCEPT DESIGN CITY OF SEWARD Harbormaster Building & South Uplands Improvements • September 8, 2025 The City of Seward initiated this design process in accordance with the Municipal Land Management Plan and charged KPB and R&M to consider improvements to the South Harbor Uplands that would: • formalize parking and on -site circulation through paving, signing striping, and other site improvements; • host a new Harbormaster's Office; • extend the boardwalk concept present between B and D float accesses to the South Uplands; and Site Plan eatures • create lease lots and encourage economic development in the area. As the project developed, the dependency and need for cohesion between the South Uplands (Tract H), the Harborside Campground, and adjacent pedestrian facilities (bike path, sidewalks, roadway crossings) became increasingly clear. The Harborside Campground is only accessible to vehicles through the South Uplands. The beach at the Harborside Campground and Harbormaster's Office A new Harbormaster's Office is proposed to be located on the north side of the Track H, adjacent to the S float access. See following sections for details on the concept design of the building. Lease Development Area Adjacent to the harbor, east of the proposed new Harbormaster's Office, is a defined area for future development. The lease area is where interested businesses would build a structure and lease the land long-term from the city. It is intended to support economic development and transform the South Uplands into an activated destination by providing retail, office, restaurant, and/or other uses as permitted in the Harbor Commercial Zoning District (Title 15.10.226) that would operate year-round. Development is envisioned to have a cohesive character, encouraging an appealing and uniquely Seward look and feel. The size of the lease area was generally determined by location of the existing utility lines and easements, location of float accesses, and parking and circulation considerations. The existing on -site restrooms will be replaced with ones within the lease area as it is developed. Unlike the individually platted lease lots along the harbor to the north, this lease area is proposed to be created through document exhibits and legal descriptions for each lease area within Tract H. Doing so maintains as much flexibility as possible, providing new lease holders maximum flexibility to design unique spaces to meet their particular needs. While this approach ensures potentially interested tenants are not precluded, it does require more the pedestrian bridge connecting it to Alice Campground are very popular recreation destinations, but there are no dedicated pedestrian facilities connecting to the area. From the south, the waterfront bike path takes users west of Alice Campground and the pedestrian bridge towards Fourth Avenue; from the north, the boardwalk and pedestrian walkways guide pedestrians along the Fourth Avenue sidewalk with no wayfinding or other directives on where or how to access the recreational area. Therefore, pedestrian connectivity to and through the South Uplands was added as a needed improvement for the concept design to address and so the project boundary expanded to include the Harborside Campground area (Tract G, Seward Original Townsite Waterfront Park Replat No. 2012-4). The concept design for the South Uplands (see Site Plan) has been developed through a master planning approach conducted facilitation by and coordination between the city and future lease holders to successfully develop the area. To achieve the desired character and provide guidance to future lease holders, the development of design standards is recommended. Pedestrian Facilities A boardwalk is proposed to run east -west on the north side of the South Uplands between the Harbormaster's Office, lease buildings and the harbor itself, providing pedestrians access to buildings, floats, boat launch, restrooms and parking facilities. The south side of the Harbormaster's Office and leased building area are fronted by an 11-foot-wide concrete walkway providing ramped ADA access from the parking lot at two locations and connects to a pathway which extends west to Fourth Avenue and south to the lower parking lot and park area. A bike path is proposed to be extended from the northeastern most end of the South Uplands at the float access ramp, around the perimeter of the site to connect to the pedestrian bridge south of the current Harborside Campground. The perimeter bike path will be a significant recreational asset and provide a dedicated facility for pedestrians enjoying the views and Mariners Memorial, separated from vehicular traffic. Vehicle Circulation and Parking Drive aisles are sized for two-way traffic, providing visitors the flexibility to choose between back -in and forward pull -in parking in outside stalls as well as a choice of pull -through direction for the trailer stalls in the center of the collaboratively with City of Seward staff. Through its implementation, the South Uplands are intended to become more than a reliable, convenient place to park. It can become a designation with a developed harbor -side lease area activated with year- round businesses, a new Harbormaster's Office, and connected pedestrian facilities allowing users to access and enjoy recreational opportunities available on and along the Uplands. lot. Stall widths and approach angles into and out of boat trailer and RV parking stalls are based on Sweep Path analysis, ensuring sufficient and expectedly comfortable maneuverability for truck -trailer combinations ranging up to 50' in length. Fire access to the eastern floats is provided from Fourth Avenue with a turn -around on the east side near the Mariners Memorial. Parking in the existing paved lot nearest the Harbormaster's Office will be dedicated to harbor staff (11 spaces). The existing paved parking area on the western portion of the South Uplands will provide approximately 101 spaces, the larger gravel area of the Uplands will provide approximately 62 spaces sized for boat trailers and RVs, 52 standard parking spaces adjacent to the Harbormaster's Office and lease area, and an additional 5 spaces on the northeastern most end of the property for immediate adjacent access to the float and Mariners Memorial. The current Harborside Campground is proposed to be repurposed for general parking, providing approximately 24 stalls, and park improvements for greater community use and enjoyment. Landscaping and Drainage The South Uplands is predominantly flat and therefore stormwater, snow melt and storage, and general permeability has been carefully considered. Visual enhancement and stormwater retention landscaping are recommended in multiple locations on site and will be further defined at future levels of design. Site lighting is also recommended throughout the site, especially near the lease area and Harbormaster's Office. 216 R&M Consultants, Inc. • KPB Architects SITE PLAN CITY OF SEWARD Harbormaster Building & South Uplands Improvements • September 8, 2025 Y Cw �"11111111111111111 r • r Y.

The new two-story building will feature both public and private spaces. The public area will include a public facing counter for interactions with administrative staff, a conference room for public and private use, and restrooms. The private area will encompass private offices, open workstations, storage, a maintenance shop, a locker room, a break room, and a small conference room. The second floor will also have clear views of the harbor to the north and Resurrection Bay to the south. The new Harbormaster building is part of a broader initiative to revitalize and utilize The South Uplands. The master plan includes parking for visitors and harbor users, an extension of the current boardwalk, and lease plats to accommodate businesses on the new boardwalk. This transformation will turn the South Uplands from a sea of trucks and trailers into a vibrant community hub. 221 R&M Consultants, Inc. • KPB Architects HARBORMASTER BUILDING ADJACENCY DIAGRAM CITY OF SEWARD Harbormaster Building & South Uplands Improvements • September 8, 2025 TOOL WALL 7 MAINTENANCE SHOP LOCKER ROOM - 12 LOCKERS - CENTER BENCH -LAUNDRY - SHOWER ENCLOSED STAIR PRIVATE OFFICE PRIVATE RR PRIVATE RR STORAGE PARKING KIOSK 1 PRIVATE OFFICE PRIVATE OFFICE 12-16P CONFERENCE ROOM 3-P ADMIN / PUBLIC COUNTER ENCLOSED STAIR ELEVATOR PUBLIC RR VESTIBULE LEVEL 1 r OPEN TO BELOW r rENCLOSED ROOF ENCLOSED STAIR 4-P CONFERENCE ROOM PRIVATE OFFICE PRIVATE OFFICE STORAGE u) WORKSTATION; ADMIN OPEN TO BELOW ROOF DECK PRIVATE RR BREAK ROOM STAIR ELEVATOR LEVEL 2 VESTIBULE PARKING KIOSK LOBBY/WAITING VERTICAL CIRCULATION PUBLIC RESTROOM CONFERENCE ROOM ADMINISTRATION/PUBLIC COUNTER PRIVATE OFFICE STORAGE OPEN WORKSTATIONS PRIVATE RESTROOM LOCKER ROOM MAINTENANCE SHOP CIRCULATION VERTICAL CIRCULATION CONFERENCE ROOM PRIVATE OFFICE STORAGE OPEN WORKSTATIONS PRIVATE RESTROOM MAINTENANCE SHOP BREAK ROOM CIRCULATION ROOF DECK 222 R&M Consultants, Inc. • KPB Architects CONCEPT MASSING SOUTH FACADE CITY OF SEWARD Harbormaster Building & South Uplands Improvements • September 8, 2025 • .

A "social stair" or outdoor gathering area can be built into the building or boardwalk, allowing for social gathering, interaction, and engagement .

The mission statement of Seward Volunteer Fire Department is why our department exists. All our activities and efforts support this mission entrusted to us by the City of Seward and the community we serve. Vision To provide service to the community at the highest level of professionalism possible. Proud of our past and embracing our future, the members of Seward Volunteer Fire Department will work as an effective and integrated team, dedicated to continuous improvement and maintaining a positive attitude.

Excellence Our Core Values Professionalism Integrity Community Service Our core values are not just nice words that look good in reports. This is the basis of how we live and operate. For us to have any measure of success, all members, regardless of rank, must live up to the core values of the Department. The loss of any one of these values would destroy our ability to operate in our community. Trust is easily broken and takes a lifetime to build. The people we serve must know we are there to serve them and make things better with no ulterior motives or intentions. Page 13 234 SEWARD VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT / 2025 History: Seward Volunteer Fire Department (SVFD) incorporated in 1906, three years after the town of Seward was founded. Local business owners and residents recognized the need to protect the buildings they lived and worked in, and SVFD was born. Our community and department have seen a lot since then. 1917 - Lowell Canyon flood 1941 - Block fire - downtown Seward 1942 - Block fire - downtown Seward 1962 - Fire station and civic center fire 1963 - New fire station construction complete 1964 - Good Friday Earthquake 1994 - Methodist church fire 1995 - F/V Alaska Spirit fire Services Provided: The services provided to the community by the Seward Volunteer Fire Department include: - Fire Response - Rescue operations - EMS Assistance - Fire Safety Education - Response to surrounding communities for assistance - Fire Prevention and Burn Permits - Fire Investigation 235 Page 14 SEWARD VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT / 2025 In the Works We have completed the 15% design and engineering on the new Seward Fire Station. We have been working with R&M Engineering, Integris, and KPB Architects to bring our new station into the 21st century. Our training calendar is already rolling strong as we head into the new year. Within the first six months, our members will be completing ETT, EMT-1, Firefighter 1, FESI 2, and Fire Officer coursework. This schedule reflects our commitment to building skills from the ground up —patient care, fireground operations, leadership, and scene safety —so our firefighters and first responders are prepared to serve with confidence when it counts. Continued training isn't optional here; it's how we stay sharp, safe, and ready for our community.

Page 112 243 SEWARD VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT / 2025 TRAINING DIVISION Deputy Fire Chief/Fire Training Officer Kate McCoy manages the Department's need to meet or exceed required training standards and identified best practices. One of the best things that an experienced firefighter can do is pass on their knowledge and experience to new firefighters. We have an amazing group of responders here at Seward Volunteer Fire Department. Our more experienced responders are always ready to share and teach their skills and abilities, and the new members are eager to listen and learn. Our success and professionalism are a window into our culture of willingness to teach, and eagerness to learn. I could not be prouder of the group of people that assist me in educating new responders. 2025 was a busy training year for our members. We had several members take certification classes and receive state and national certifications in Emergency Trauma Technician, EMT I & II, Advanced EMT, Firefighter II, HazMat Awareness & Operations, Fire Instructor I, and Fire Apparatus Driver/Pumper. In 2026, we will be continuing our training to allow for more participation. We will be incorporating more specialty training in with our standard fire training and conducting more station -based crew trainings. We will also continue to develop our professional development training and officer development programs to train our firefighters to be successful leaders. We plan to do more joint training with our neighboring departments so that when we are on incidents together, we can work more cohesively. - Kate McCoy, Deputy Fire Chief Total Trainin: Hours for Personnel: 5,683 hours Page 113 244 SEWARD VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT / 2025 245 Page 114 SEWARD VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT / 2025 FIRE PREVENTION & EDUCATION Fire Marshal Tyler Mallory conducts public education promoting fire prevention and safety concepts to the public, schools, and the business community. Reflecting on another eventful year for Fire Prevention at Seward Fire Department, it has been truly gratifying to witness our fire & rescue family actively engaging with and educating the community on fire safety. This year, we collaborated closely with the Seward Schools and Bear Creek Volunteer Fire Department, joining forces to spread awareness about the importance of fire safety. A key focus of our efforts this year centered around educating the community on cooking fires, a leading cause of house fires in the US, with an alarming average of 158,400 reported home fires annually. By shedding light on the potential risks associated with cooking, we aim to significantly reduce the incidence of cooking -related fires. It has been heartening to hear comments such as 'I didn't know that could cause that,' but unfortunately, we've also encountered stories of individuals learning the hard way due to a lack of awareness. Through education, our goal is to contribute to the protection of homes and lives. The Seward Post #444 Fire Explorers is over a year old and going strong. Currently we have eight active teen members who are working hard volunteering their time and training just as hard. We have four who are now certified as Emergency Trauma Techs and able to help respond on our medicals calls along with being auxiliary support on our fire calls. We cannot wait to see where our Fire Explorers go in 2026. - Tyler Mallory, Fire Marshal 52 Public Education Events 401 Children educated at schools 563 People spoken to at events about fire prevention 380 Community Service Hours performed by Fire Explorers Page 115 246 SEWARD VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT / 2025 EXCELLENCE, PROFESSIONALISM, INTEGRITY, & COMMUNITY SERVICE Page 116 247 SEWARD VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT / 2025 PROMOTIONS & CERTIFICATIONS Emergency Trauma Tech - 21 January • 8 Members/Staff Advanced Emergency Med Tech - 5 February 0 Fire Lt.
