WHEREAS, on February 6,1992, the City Council met in a work session to discuss,

and
WHEREAS, it was determined that replacement of the Seward General Hospital
facility remained the City's top legislative priority of all projects proposed for legislative
funding; and

dock because the 4th Avenue Dock is unsafe for unattended moorage and requires
extensive rehabilitation, the UAF-IMS Dock is not suitable for mooring their new research
vessel, and there is not a safe loading point for day cruisers in the Small Boat Harbor or
an accessible passenger dock for visiting passenger liners; and
WHEREAS, it was determined that the third priority project should be to construct
certain improvements to the City's facilities in order to make them more accessible to
disabled persons and to comply with the 1991 Federal Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA); and
WHEREAS, the existing electrical float service in the Small Boat Harbor presents
a threat to life and property and is inadequate to meet current demands; and
WHEREAS, the City will be required to fund the local share of several U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Feasibility Studies for flood control and harbor expansion, and the
cost must be paid in 1992; and
WHEREAS, Federal and State regulatory agencies have demanded that the City
restore the wastewater treatment facility to service, and such demands may be enforced
by federal and state courts; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to seek funding for the development of the proposed
Alaska Sea Life Center to provide a facility for research and rehabilitation of marine
wildlife which would increase public awareness and educational opportunities for
residents and visitors to the City; and
