Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: July 23, 2007
Through: Phillip Oates, City Manager
From: Tim Barnum, Electric Utility Manager
Agenda Item: Re-Appropriate Funds to Provide Site Closure at Fort Raymond Subdivision for
Diesel Spill
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
On July 7, 2006 the City received a letter from ADEC requesting further information and work plans
showing successful completion of the remediation of the spill site. Since no further remediation or
closure has occurred, ADEC is requiring a work plan and timetable for assessing the current nature
and extent of soil and groundwater contamination, and for the completion of site cleanup and
remediation.
In November of 2006, Council authorized an agreement with URS – Resolution #2006-126 to do a
site assessment and closure. Waiting for DEC to approve the work plan prevented work from starting
until this spring. The Purchase order authorizing payment expired on December 2006. We need to re-
appropriate $21,684.30 from the fund balance to compete the project.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST
Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive
Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.

FISCAL NOTE
Funding for these services is available in the electric enterprise fund contracted services account
