RESOLUTION NO. 685
WHEREAS, the transfer of all properties formerly used by the Alaska
Railroad in and along the waterfront in The City of Seward are assessed
at considerable more value than lands belonging to The City of Seward,
now occupied by the Alaska Railroad; and
WHEREAS, certain lands formerly used by the Alaska Railroad, and made
useless for railroad purposes by the Disaster of 1964, are needed at this
time by The City of Seward for proposed industrial development; and
WHEREAS, the economic position of The City of Seward at this time is
such that certain Parcels of land can not be exchanged between the City and
General Services Administration due to the assessed value of the unusable
lands of the Alaska Railroad being assessed at a greater value than property
which the City proposed to exchange;
NOW, THEREFORE; The City of Seward requests that General Services
Administration take no action in attempting to dispose of the Parcel of land
shown as P-2 on a certain map. Parcel P-2 being that land North and East
of a line known as the "high risk line" which line is approximately 100 feet
West of the South end of Seventh Avenue thence Northerly along the water-
front and on the East side of Seventh Avenue, and should General Services
Administration desire to dispose of Parcel P-2 within the next year, that
The City of Seward shall be notified and shall have priority on the acquisition
of this Parcel as agreed upon between The City of Seward and the Alaska Rail-
road at the time the Railroad constructed their dock facilities on property
owned by The City of Seward.
Passed and approved by the City Council of The City of Seward, Alaska, this
29th day of
February
, 1968.
