Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: July 14, 2008
Through: Phillip Oates, City Manager.~~~'~
From: Kristin Erchinger, Finance Director K~~
Agenda Item: Accepting $195,000 Waterfront Pavilion grant
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
The State of Alaska Department of Commerce, Community & Economic Development has
awarded the City of Seward a Designated Legislative Grant in the amount of $195,000 for the
purpose of constructing a waterfront pavilion.
Funds for this project must be spent by June 30, 2013. There are no matching funds required by
this grant, although the total costs of the project were previously estimated at $397,000 based on
2006 bids. It is possible that the scope of the prof ect could be modified to reduce the total costs of
the project, and it is highly likely that additional City funds will be required for the project.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST
Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter,
Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
Other:
FISCAL NOTE
This grant does not require any matching funds. However, the total costs of the project were
previously estimated at $397,000, so it is highly likely that additional City funds will be required
for the construction of the pavilion. This project will come back to Council to appropriate funds at
the time of contract award.
Approved by Finance:
RECOMMENDATION
City Council approve Resolution 2008-~~~ authorizing the City Manager and/or Mayor to
execute the Grant Agreement, accepting $195,000 from the State of Alaska DCCED for the
Waterfront Pavilion Project.
