CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
RESOLUTION NO. 92.-164
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR THE
PURCHASE OF NEW TRASH CONTAINERS FOR THE DOWNTOWN AREA
WHEREAS, aging trash containers in the downtown area are unattractive and
contribute to offensive odors caused by leakage from the containers; and
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest to replace these trash containers; and
WHEREAS, the city has selected replacement trash containers which are both
decorative and built to withstand adverse weather conditions; and
WHEREAS, the replacement of the trash containers is not a budgeted expense and
will, therefore, require an amendment to the FY 1993 general fund budget; and
WHEREAS, record setting campground fee collections and an increase in sales tax
collections over the summer months should provide sufficient additional general fund
revenues to cover the cost of purchasing the needed trash containers;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
Section 1. The sum of $9,390 is hereby appropriated to the FY 1993 General
Services Account No., 101-1180-5930 from the General Fund Fund Balance Account No.
101-3070, and the budget is amended accordingly.
Section 2. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Council of the city of Seward, Alaska, this

the overseeing rights to inspect the design and workmanship solely to assure that the
blocking system does not pose a potential to damage the shiplift system. If such a
possibility exists, the City may refuse to lift the vessel. There is no requirement for the
City to perform such inspections, and, by performing an inspection, the City does not

towing device, to the extend required by classification or inspection societies) must be
inspected and recertified in accordance with the requirements of Lloyd's Classification
Society as a condition precedent to continued use of the shiplift system by Permit Holder.
The City of Seward may, at its discretion, refuse to allow use of Permit Holder's cradle
and/or towing system if the City of Seward has any reasonable doubt as to the structural
fitness of the cradle system for use on the syncroliftlrail system. Such refusal shall remain
in force until Permit Holder demonstrates to City's satisfaction that the cradle is fit for
such use.

to any repair berth rails located on leased land. The Permit Holder will take all necessary
measures to protect the shiplift system and adjacent rail and transfer facilities and
equipment from damage, exposure to paint or other contaminates. All areas utilized by
the Permit Holder will be maintained, clean and orderly, free of trash and debris. The
Permit Holder is specifically prohibited from drilling, welding or otherwise damaging any
structural steel, rails or miscellaneous steel fixtures of the shiplift system, or doing

including platform, dock and breakwater of all supplies, equipment and stores upon
completion of work on a vessel, the City may clear the area and bill the Permit Holder
for all expenses incurred.
12. MISCELLANEOUS. This is the entire permit and is to be interpreted and
applied by the harbormaster in order to further the public interest of maximizing use and
efficiency of the shiplift system. This Agreement may be modified only in writing. If any
permit holder contests any decision made by the harbormaster, the exclusive remedy
shall be to the City Council, which shall be the final judge of any dispute. This
Agreement form may be filed by the City of Seward with the Federal Maritime
Commission and other agencies.
13. TERMINATION. The City may terminate this Permit at any time for
convenience, upon delivery of written notice to the Permit Holder thirty (30) days prior

of its equipment, buildings and supplies. All necessary site clean-up, repair of the shiplift
system or other obligation required by this Permit will be completed prior to the
termination date.
The City may terminate this permit for failure to promptly pay when due any fee
or charge required by this Agreement. The City may terminate this Permit for any cause,
including failure to pay any amounts due, by giving the Permit Holder thirty (30) days'
notice prior to the termination date, except it may be terminated immediately if the
Permit Holder's operations pose a danger to the shiplift system or are violations of state
or federal permits, or if the insurance policies required in Paragraph 6 are canceled or
have lapsed for any reason. If the Permit Holder fails to correct its operations to the
satisfaction of the City, the City may clear the area of vessels and the Permit Holder's
equipment and supplies, and bill the Permit Holder for all expenses incurred. When
terminating for cause, the City assumes no obligations to complete the repairs to any
vessel that may be on the shiplift system, except those necessary to enable safely moving
it to a moorage, and such repairs shall be at the expense of the Permit Holder.
