Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: August 13, 2007
Through: Phillip Oates, City Manager
From: Patricia Linville, Library Director
Agenda Item: Accept Rasmuson Tier I Grant #3807 of $2980 for
furniture replacement in the teen and adult areas of Seward Community
Library
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The four couches housed in the Seward Community Library are providing a valuable service to our
patrons. Two couches in the front reading area and fifties era sofas in the teen/children area are in
dire need of attention. They have supported readers, nappers, visitors, children and adults of various
sizes and shapes during their long tenure in the library.
Rasmuson has donated $2980.00 to assist in replacing the above mentioned furniture with new,
industrially built pieces. $750.00 from the Alaska Railroad, through the Seward Community Library
Association, and $600.00 from the library operating budget will be used to complete the project.
Terms of the grant and grant budget are attached.
INTENT:
The intent is to replace the four couches with new couches made by the Alaska Correctional
Industries furniture division located in Seward. In addition, we will order an ADA table for the teen
section and recover three chairs. This work can all be done by ACI.
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.

Community Library Association and $600.00 from the library operating budget are earmarked for this
project. Rasmuson Funds will be appropriated to the library equipment budget.
