RESOLUTION 2008-127
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEWARD, ALASKA, AMENDING THE PORT AND HARBOR
TARIFF REGULATIONS SUBSECTION 225
WHEREAS, the City (Harbor Department) seeks to establish a fair and
customer-friendly billing system for electrical billing purposes; and
WHEREAS, the current billing system for transient vessels visiting the Seward
Harbor for short periods of time is inefficient and cumbersome to Harbor patrons; and
WHEREAS, the proposed billing structure for transient vessels staying IS
consecutive days or less in the Small Boat Harbor would allow the city to capture
revenue that has previously escaped the city because of the difficulty in tracking down
vessel owners after their departure; and
WHEREAS, the amendment to the Port and Harbor Tariff Regulations would
allow transient vessels in the Small Boat Harbor to be billed according to a flat rate for
stays of 15 consecutive days of less; and
WHEREAS, it is in the interest of the City to facilitate an electrical billing
structure at the Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC) that would cover the cost to
offer this service; and
WHEREAS, there is currently a budget deficit at SMIC concerning power for
resale which would be eliminated by introducing a customer service charge for SMIC
electrical utility bills, and change the utility rate at SMIC to $0.19 per kilowatt hour plus
a fuel adjustment factor.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
