CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
RESOLUTION NO. 85-89
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEWARD, ALASKA, PLACING A PROPOSITION ON THE OCTOBER 1,
1985, REGULAR ELECTION BALLOT RELATIVE TO A PROPOSED
AMENDMENT TO SECTION 3.6(c) OF THE CITY CHARTER
WHEREAS, the Seward General Hospital has for many years
provided invaluable service to the community of Seward; and
WHEREAS, new hospital facilities are essential to the communi-
ty's growth but the current operation of the Hospital under the Seward
General Hospital Association does not have the financial ability to
expand operations and provide employees with competitive benefits; and
WHEREAS, the City of Seward could provide additional benefits
and also financial strength to the Hospital but recognizes the need to
keep the operation and management of the Hospital as independent as
practical; and

possible requires a change in the current City Charter;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
Section 1. For the reasons set forth in the preamble to this
resolution, it is in the best interest of the City of Seward to amend
the City Charter to allow the City to provide certain benefits to the
employees of Seward General Hospital while retaining as much indepen-
dence for the Hospital as possible.
Section 2. Pursuant to Section 14.2 and 14.3 of the City
Charter, the following proposition will be submitted to the voters at
the October 1, 1985, regular election to be held in accordance with the
provisions of Chapter 8 of the Seward City Code. An affirmative vote of
a majority of those qualified electors voting is required for approval.
