RESOLUTION 2001-080
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA, RECOMMENDING SUPPORT OF THE MCDONALD POINT
PROJECT.
WHEREAS, demand for small boat moorage in Seward is greater then the available
moorage; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Seward has actively sought expansion of moorage facilities for many
years; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Seward has an active federal project for the expansion of the Seward
Small Boat Harbor that is pending appropriation of federal funds; and,
WHEREAS, Alaska Barge and Salvage, through Mr. Tim McDonald has proposed
developing McDonald Point into a small boat harbor and multi-use shipping facility; and,
WHEREAS, this development would benefit the local economy through increased moorage
capacity, increased shipping activity and increased employment opportunities; and,
WHEREAS, development of a private mooring facility would be a benefit to the Seward area
and Alaska as a whole by establishing market rates for wet slips in Alaska; and,
WHEREAS, funding for this private marina would not compete for federal funding and
thereby jeopardize the current active project for Seward.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Seward, Alaska, supports the private development
of McDonald Point into a marina and multi-use shipping facility.
