THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA `l CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA ORDINANCE 2013 -004 Pa e8of8 David Seaward, Mayor AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ATTEST: .__ Johanna Kinney, CMC City Clerk (City Seal) 4 Council Agenda Statement ¶ of sest Meeting Date: April 28, 2013 F =b ca p, Through: City Manager Jim Hunt Fire Chief David Squires 4 ∎ � From: Deputy Fire Chief Eddie Athey Agenda Item: Adoption of the 2012 International Mechanical Code BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: As of November 16, 2012, the State of Alaska has adopted the 2009 edition of the International Mechanical Code (IMC). To be consistent and thereby maintain our deferral agreement with the State, the City of Seward should also adopt the 2009 IMC. The State is currently reviewing the 2012 IMC for a proposed adoption in the spring of 2014. Not wanting to go through this process again in less than 12 months, we are proposing to adopt the 2012 IMC now. We have listed the proposed revisions made by the State and have also included the suggested local revisions for consideration. The items marked with an asterisk are revisions made by the State and are items that Council cannot change. In general, there are no significant changes from the state adopted 2009 IMC to the proposed 2012 IMC. INTENT: To adopt a current mechanical code consistent with State of Alaska requirements and local needs. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No N/A 1 Comprehensive Plan 2020 Vol-] Section 3.8.1.4 pg28, Section 3.3.1.1 X pg22, Section 3.2.1.1 pg20. 2. Strategic Plan (document source here): X 3.

Approved by Finance Department: 4 ��Z ATTORNEY REVIEW: Yes X No RECOMMENDATION: Approve Ordinance 2013- 004 amending the Seward City Code Section 12.05.31 2006 International Mechanical Code adopted, to 2012 International Mechanical Code - Adopted, including all amendments /revisions. Ole Aoi 3 -- 6 05 4 '.ASA M emo To: Honorable Mayor & Council members Thru: Jim Hunt, City Manager From: David Squires, Fire Chief Date: 4/16/2013 Re: Proposed amendment to IBC Section 108 At the April 8 Council meeting, Council made an amendment to Section 108.1 of the International Building Code (IBC). That amendment added to the sentence "A temporary structure permit can only be renewed for five calendar years on the same property, except in the industrial zone where it can be made indefinitely" The impact of Council's amendment may not have considered what other occupancies (activities) and construction types that can use this section of the code. Under the Council amended version, a person who wants to do a repair shop in the industrial zone could also use a temporary building (meeting the requirements of Section 108.2) to house their business indefinitely. The requirements of Section 108.2 are for structural strength, fire safety, means of egress, accessibility, light, ventilation and sanitary requirements of the code. If the temporary structure can meet/satisfy the requirements of the code without connecting to our utilities we still have permitted it. The purpose of the five year restriction was aimed at those occupancies that were permitted this way to give them time to get financially stable and then required the utility connections. With this amendment, there is no requirement to make the owner of the structure connect into our utility systems. Also Seward City Code Section 14.01.15 restricts the connection of temporary power to temporary structures to 180 days. We are proposing a compromise that may address concerns on the particular type of business which Council's amendment may have been concerned with. The proposal is the following: Chapter 1 Section 108 is amended by adding a new section that reads "Section 108.5 Relocatable mancamps. Relocatable mancamps shall meet the requirements of Section 108.2, the occupancy requirements of the intended use and an approved fire department access to the site of the mancamp.

In order to maintain our Deferment Agreement with the State of Alaska, the City of Seward is required to also adopt the 2009 IBC. The regulations set the minimum acceptable building standard for all parts of the state and the deferred jurisdictions. Any variances below the standard cannot be granted. The City of Seward is required to adopt a code at least as restrictive as the State's adopted code. The State is currently reviewing the 2012 IBC for a proposed adoption in the spring of 2014. Not wanting to go through this process again in less than 12 months, we are proposing to adopt the 2012 IBC now. The Ordinance before you has the proposed revisions made by the State and suggested local revisions. The State of Alaska amendments are marked with an asterisk to clearly illustrate for the public and Council which amendments can not be changed or deleted. Most of these changes are in the State adoption of the 2009 IBC. The asterisks will be removed prior to the Ordinance being codified. The City of Seward amendments are specific to Seward including modifications for Seward's climatic, geographic and seismic conditions. We have added back into the code wood foundations as requested at the March 13 work session; however we have not included the change in ground snow load from 80psf to 100psf. In discussions with structural engineers the 80psf ground snow load should be adequate for our area if we add an 80psf minimum uniform roof load. We are advocating this because it may substantially increase the cost of a commercial structure. The local suggested modifications are not asterisked and can be modified by Council. INTENT: To adopt a current building code consistent with State of Alaska requirements and local needs.

We have listed the proposed revisions made by the State and have also included the suggested local revisions for consideration. The items marked with an asterisk are revisions made by the State and are items that Council cannot change. In general, there are no significant changes from the state adopted 2009 IFC to the proposed 2012 IFC. However, please note that the City of Seward has adopted more permits, three additional NFPA Standards and is restricting the sale and use of fireworks.

CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA ORDINANCE 2013 -007 Page 16 of 16 ENACTED by the City Council of the City of Seward, Alaska, this 12 day of August, 2013. THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA David Seaward, Mayor AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ATTEST: Johanna Kinney, CMC City Clerk (City Seal) Council Agenda Statement s Meeting Date: April 22, 2013 ,;17-14t Through: City Manager Jim Hunt A ' 1�►p' • From: Building Inspector Stefan Nilsson Agenda Item: Adoption of the 2012 International Residential Code BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: The City of Seward currently administers the 2006 International Residential Code for 1 - &- 2 family dwellings and townhouses. Every three years the International Residential Code goes through code development hearings where modifications to the code are approved and published by the International Code Council. The most recently published IRC is the 2012 edition. Both building and fire department are striving to stay current on all applicable codes because it is important to remain current for the purpose of recognizing new building techniques and materials. The Building Department supports adopting the 2012 edition of the IRC which will be similar to AHFC's reference adoption. In the 2012 IRC there are provisions /requirements for residential sprinklers in new construction for townhouses and 1 — 2 family dwellings (Section R 313.1 & Section 313.2). These sections require residential sprinklers in all structures regardless of size. There are exceptions in each section for existing buildings concerning additions or alterations, that a sprinkler system is not required. Because of a State Statute we are required to do specific tasks if /when we are considering requiring residential sprinklers. We are required by statute to advertise our intent to adopt an ordinance requiring residential sprinklers for thirty days before the first public hearing. We must have three public hearings no less than 60 days and no more than 180 days. If Council introduces this ordinance tonight, then staff will advertise the ordinance on April 25 the first public hearing on the ordinance will be scheduled for May 28 The second public hearing would be scheduled for June 24 and the third public hearing and enactment would be scheduled for August 12 2013. Staff is proposing an amendment to the sprinkler requirement; we feel the requirement of installing sprinklers in all new residential construction would be unfavorable to new development. We are proposing to require residential sprinklers in structures (1 -2 family dwellings & townhouses) that exceed 3,600 square feet. Most of these structures are wood frame construction (V -B). Our reasoning for selecting this square footage is this is where our fire flow requirements for this size of structure and type of construction changes from 1500 gallons per minute for two hours to 1750 gallons per minute for two hours (Ref IFCAppendix B Table B105.1). Currently our water system can supply around 1200 gallons per minute without impacting the neighborhoods very much. As we draw on the system to supply more water to fight a fire, the less pressure will be available to push the water to other neighborhoods. By putting sprinklers in these large structures or additions, we effectively reduce the impact on the water system. If we do not require sprinklers in these structures then not only will the water system be impacted, but we will also need to increase our ability to carry more water to the scene with water tankers. More vehicles being put into the Fire Department's inventory will require another building to store them in and more personnel to man them. The current 2012 IRC is commonly used as an industry standard by contractors, architects and engineers. Our citizens may benefit from more efficient and cost - effective design services if the City of Seward adopts this edition of the Residential Code. The Building Department has included additional amendments to modify the code for Seward's climatic, geographic and seismic conditions. Additional local amendments were also added to set local fees. The local fees are not being increased at this time. INTENT: To adopt a current building code consistent with State of Alaska requirements and local needs.

BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: In October of 2012 the City experienced a series of outages in the underground distribution utility lines in the Camelot subdivision. The electric crews made temporary repairs by redirecting the utility line with an overhead cable strung through the trees. Although this method worked in the short term, it was not likely to stay energized throughout the coming winter. The electric department crews continued to work on installing new services and the electric department tries to complete as many installations as possible before the ground freezes. On a yearly basis the electric department calls and receives day labor rates from several of the electric construction companies in the area. Alcan Electric had the lowest day labor rates of the four electric construction companies that submitted and could commit crews to Seward earlier than their competitors. In the process of doing the underground construction the City experienced another underground outage in the same area. Alcan Electric continued to work until this outage was mitigated. All of the construction performed by Alcan Electric is permanent construction and has a life expectancy of fifty years. Camelot subdivision is listed on the Critical capital improvements list and is scheduled for more construction in the summer of 2013. INTENT: For the Seward Electric Utility to be authorized to pay $96,040.38 to Alcan Electric for the emergency construction and repairs to Camelot subdivision underground distribution system.

R & M Consultants has performed well during the design phase. When they were hired by the City in September 2012 it was anticipated that this contract would be necessary and they would be the most likely engineer given their expertise and effectiveness. The cost of the work is $190,528 and that represents approximately 8% of the $2.36 Million total estimated construction cost. There is an additional amount of $19,053 project overhead. INTENT: The Council Resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment to the engineering contract. The Harbormaster will serve as project manager. It is anticipated that the work will be completed by April of 2014. The harbor also has received a grant to construct the new D- Float in the amount of $1.18 Million and that will be matched with harbor funds to pay the construction contractor.

Box 167 Seward, AK 99664 RE: Fee Proposal for Engineering Services During Construction of the City of Seward D Float Replacement Project -Rev.2 We understand that the City of Seward is interested in contracting professional engineering services in support of the construction of the replacement of D Float in the Small Boat Harbor. The project is planned for bidding in April 2013 and construction start on -site is planned for September 2013. The following scope of work is proposed: 1. ADEC Permit Application: R &M will complete the necessary checklists, forms and supporting documentation required to submit an application package to ADEC for the Approval -to- Construct the potable water system on D- Float. 2. Office -Based Engineering Support: Office based engineering support may consist of the following: • Responding to contractor's requests for information (RFI) or design clarification /verification requests (DCVRs), • Reviewing contractor shop drawings, • Reviewing materials and product data submittals, • Reviewing change order requests, • Reviewing contractor pay application requests, • Participating in claims negotiations, on an as- needed basis (not included in fee), and • Project closeout out and as -built documents. 3. On -Site Engineer Oversight and Inspections: We expect that the float modules will likely be fabricated in the Seattle, Washington area. We recommend • including a site inspection by a senior engineer, with Plans In Hand, to inspect the floats when fabrication is underway and several modules are complete. The intent of the inspection is to ensure that the floats are being fabricated according to plan, prior to transportation to Seward. Once the contractor mobilizes to the site, R &M will provide a staff engineer who will oversee the day -to- day construction activities. He will keep daily field records, recording the work being performed each day, the equipment and labor used, and take photographs. The on -site engineer will act as a liaison for the Contractor to ask technical questions in the field. We assume that it will take approximately 3.5 months to i o: unk From; R&M Date. 3/12,113 Page 2 complete a majority of the on -site work. For approximately 3 to 4 weeks of this, we expect that float assembly and pile driving will be taking place. During this time, it is important for a trained pile inspector and /or engineer to be on hand to ensure floats are assembled properly, piles are installed correctly and to provide swift guidance and direction if any obstructions or other unforeseen difficulties during pile driving are encountered in the field. We have designated Clark Rosencrans to oversee pile driving. Clark has the Municipality of Anchorage Certification as a Special inspector in multiple disciplines including Pile Driving Installation (MOA # SI -151) and several ICC Structural Inspection certifications. Near the end of the job, the engineers of record will conduct a site visit. This will include a senior civil engineer (John Daley or myself) and an electrical engineer (Ben Haight) who will each complete a substantial completion inspection to verify that all components of the job are complete and to the satisfaction of the Owner. The inspection will be performed in the presence of the contractor, and if necessary, a punch list will be created to document the remaining items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment. The senior civil engineer will later complete a final inspection to verify that all punch list items are complete. Due to the uncertain nature of this type of work, which is highly dependent on the Contractor's activities which are out of our control, we propose to complete the above scope of work on a time and expenses (T &E) basis. A detailed breakdown of the estimated T &E fee is attached for your reference. Please call me at (907) 646 -9602 for questions or additional information.

This increase is equivalent to an increase similar to a municipal employee range progression; and WHEREAS, Kinney's contract indicates that the City Council will review Kinney's salary annually prior to adoption of the City's fiscal budget; and WHEREAS, as is standard practice during the budget process, the Clerk's salary is typically adjusted in conjunction with all other City employees since it may be considered inappropriate to anticipate the outcome of evaluation or salary negotiations, and therefore the Clerk's salary, in keeping with the cost of living for all other employees, this increase was not budgeted in the 2013 budget. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that: Section 1. Amendment No. 2 to the City Clerk's employment agreement dated November 24, 2010 between the City of Seward and Johanna Kinney results in an increase in the position's annual base salary to $65,719.50, and is hereby approved. CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2013 -029 Section 2. Funding in the amount of $3,750 is hereby appropriated from the General Fund undesignated fund balance as follows: $3,129.50 to clerk salary line item no. 101 -1130 -5010 and $620.50 to clerk benefit lines no. 101 - 1130 -5xxx.

The City Clerk does not participate in standard employee step increases or cost of living adjustments (COLA) as outlined in the Seward City Code, and any increase in pay must be by an amendment to the employment agreement via Council Resolution. The attached resolution reflects a 5% increase to Kinney's salary, to $65,719.50 annually, reflecting the outcome of an annual evaluation by the Seward City Council, which took place on March 26, 2013. During the budget process, the administration typically makes no judgment about pay changes for the City Clerk, as it is sometimes uncomfortable for a Clerk to justify budgeting for a pay raise that will later require an evaluation and a contract negotiation. Therefore, this adjustment was not included in the 2013 budget. The attached resolution appropriates the additional salary and benefits necessary to accommodate a 5% pay increase. INTENT: The intent of this increase is to allow for a range - equivalent increase similar to when a municipal employee meets a range progression in their job duties. This equates to a 5% increase, contingent upon a successful evaluation, which was held March 26, 2013. FISCAL NOTE: The total impact on salary and benefits of this contract amendment is $3,750 in 2013. An appropriation is being requested from General Fund undesignated fund balance.

SPECIAL ORDERS, PRESENTATIONS AND REPORTS Proclamations & Awards A proclamation was presented to Joe Fong for March as American Red Cross Month. Borough Assembly Report, Sue McClure said one of the most common calls she received from citizens was related to the transfer site and recycling capabilities of the city. Solid waste represented one of the largest expenditures for the borough, second only to education. She visited the transfer site last week and was working with the waste manager to clarify signage and provide more education, particularly about hazardous waste disposal. March 19, 2013 would be the next Assembly meeting and they would be appropriating funds for the new Seward Bear Creek Flood Service Area Board (SBCFSAB) building. There was one new member to the SBCFSAB, and there was still one more seat open. Another ordinance would clarify inconsistencies with the borough code for term limits to allow a person to remain on a service area board after their term was up until someone new could be appointed. Since the Assembly changed their meeting start time to 6:00 p.m., McClure offered to provide teleconference services for anyone interested in participating from Seward, enabling Seward residents to speak to any item on the Assembly's agenda. There would be a public hearing in Moose Pass on April 9, 2013 regarding the anadromous fish protection and enhancement ordinance, and the Assembly would hold their next meeting after that in Seward on April 16, 2013.

Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the public hearing was opened. No one appeared to address the council and the public hearing was closed. Motion (Bardarson /Shafer) Enact Ordinance 2012 -002 Motion Passed Unanimous NEW BUSINESS Resolution 2013 -016, Accepting Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council Funds In The Amount Of $620,656 From The State Of Alaska Department Of Environmental Conservation For Construction Of The Vessel Wash Down And Wastewater Recycling Facility At The Seward Marine Industrial Center, And Appropriating Funds. Motion (Terry/Keil) Approve Resolution 2013 -016 Harbormaster Mack Funk said the project design was completed and was currently out for bid. In response to Casagranda, Funk said the design provided for heating tubes to be embedded within the concrete pad, but the functionality of heating the pad would depend upon future funding. Following up an additional question, Funk said it would be efficient to use a boiler for heating than to use geothermal heating for this project. Valdatta was concerned about the possibility of rainwater interfering with washing capabilities by overtaxing the drains. Funk said only in a very heavy rain would there be the possibility that additional rainwater could deluge the water treatment system from the drains. Funk recommended that the wash down pad be shut down from mid - October through the winter, based on Kodiak harbor's experience. Valdatta suggested the design include pony walls that, in the future, could be used to support a canopy so that the wash down pad could eventually be used year- round.

He added that the site preparation and building erection work would be sent out for proposal. Foutz said this building was being funded through the Alaska Railbelt Cooperative Transmission & Electric Company (ARCTEC) grant funds secured in 2011 and would be administered through Alaska Energy Authority.

ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned -at 8:57 p.m. Johanna Kinney, CMC David Seaward City Clerk Mayor (City Seal) City of Seward, Alaska City Council Minutes March 26, 2013 Volume 39 Page CALL TO ORDER • The March 26, 2013 Regular Meeting of the Seward City Council was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Mayor David Seaward. OPENING CEREMONY Police Chief Tom Clemons led the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. ROLL CALL There were present: David Seaward presiding and Jean Bardarson Ristine Casagranda Marianna Keil Bob Valdatta Vanta Shafer Christy Terry comprising a quorum of the Council; and Jim Hunt, City Manager Ron Long, Assistant City Manager Johanna Kinney, City Clerk Cheryl Brooking, City Attorney Brenda Ballou, Deputy City Clerk Absent — None CITIZEN COMMENTS ON ANY SUBJECT EXCEPT THOSE ITEMS SCHEDULED FOR PUBLIC HEARING Susan Ernst owned the Rez Gym and had heard that the city employees may be opening a gym with employee wellness funds. She did not have an issue with that, but was concerned that the location being targeted was the old museum space, that the gym would be fee -based for community use, and that this had all been directed to administration by council to fill the gap left from the reduction in hours at the AVTEC facility. She considered that to be a broadening of the Parks & Recreation Department's mission and thought it was inappropriate for the city to undertake. She asked the city to help support private enterprise to fill this apparent gap. She was also concerned that no one from the city apparently knew about this potential project, but residents in general seemed to • know all about it. She asked for the city to adopt a position of competitive neutrality. APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND CONSENT AGENDA Motion (Keil/Shafer) Approval of Agenda and Consent Agenda City of Seward, Alaska City Council Minutes March 26, 2013 Volume 39 Page Keil pulled Resolution 2013 -020 off the consent agenda and added a discussion item for the city old • museum/gym space.

City of Seward, Alaska City Council Minutes March 26, 2013 Volume 39 Page On March 20, 2013 Flip Foldager received a Governor's Special Achievement Award for Safety at a ceremony held at the Egan Center. The Fire Chief, Building Inspector, Public Works Director and Assistant City Manager attended the three -hour ADA training session on March 20, 2013. The Planning & Zoning Department was updating the Municipal Lands Management Plan. On March 11, 2013 administration received a copy of a letter sent to Jim Pruitt, owner of Seward Ship's Drydock Inc., by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) which stated the shipyard site status had been upgraded and was now listed as "Cleanup Complete." The Port Director from Homer, along with Homer' s Port Deputy, Maintenance Manager and Office Manager visited Seward on March 13, 2013 to exchange ideas about operating procedures and other valuable topics. Electric Power Systems would be in Seward this week to perform preliminary testing and sampling on the transformers at the three substations and again on April 15, 2013 for further evaluation, contingent upon the weather. The Alaska Railbelt Cooperative Transmission and Electric Company (ARCTEC) was working with legislators on behalf of Seward to outline the state's highest transmission and generation priorities. Hunt attended the National Emergency Training Center's All Hazards Response training last week in Maryland along with Police Chief Tom Clemons. He encouraged council to take the National Incident Management System (NEVIS) ICS 100 and 200 courses online. City Attorney's Report, Cheryl Brooking stated her firm had been working on bidding procedures, contracts and various resolutions. As well, she worked on the possible conveyance of the Jesse Lee Home property, the city's interconnect policy, and various labor and health care issues, including the recent Providence settlement with the state. She attended a Tax and Securities Law Seminar and reported that large banking institutions were being exposed for intricate, fraudulent schemes relating to bond certificates. Normally, banks would take money from tax- exempt bond proceeds and invest it during the construction period on behalf of the community by giving it to a Guaranteed Income Provider (GIC) to put out to bid. The fraud happened between the banks and GICs wherein they colluded on who would bid, what the amounts of the bids would be, what they would tell the community their price was, what the real price would actually be, and then how the banks and GIC would split the difference. This issue was relevant for Seward because they issued tax- exempt bonds. In response to Shafer, Brooking said there was often prison time associated with these schemes as well as financial penalties. In response to Seaward, Brooking said she did not give interviews to any media as the attorney for the City of Seward unless she had been directed to do so by the City Manager or by council. She did not consider it to be part of her role to be a spokesperson for the city. Mayor's Report, David Seaward stated he received a securities report for the Kenai Peninsula that he was making available for council and public review. He thanked Martha Fleming and GCI for helping to broadcast the meeting tonight. City of Seward, Alaska City Council Minutes March 26, 2013 Volume 39 Page Other Reports, Announcements and Presentations Seaward read a report submitted by Deborah Altermatt on behalf of the Port And Commerce Advisory Board (PACAB) for the first quarter of 2013. Martha Fleming reported on behalf of the Planning And Zoning Commission for the first quarter of 2013. Charles Vaught presented an overview of the recycling services provided in Seward on behalf of Waste Management of Alaska — Kenai. There would be approximately four days scheduled for hazardous waste drop -off at the landfill which they would be advertising to the community. They would also look into the possibility of accepting fluorescent bulbs and let administration know. PUBLIC HEARINGS — None UNFINISHED BUSINESS — None NEW BUSINESS Resolution 2013 -020, Authorizing The City Manager To Purchase One Ford Explorer Police Vehicle And Equipment For An Amount Not To Exceed $46,000. Motion (Bardarson/Terry) Approve Resolution 2013 -020 Police Chief Tom Clemons said the Police Department needed to replace the 1997 vehicle they had, and after this new vehicle was purchased they would not have to replace another vehicle for three years, excepting an unforeseen event like an accident. Keil asked about the ratio of officers to vehicles and Clemons said there were ten officers and ten vehicles. Clemons said the department had increased the number of vehicles over time, partly as a requirement to improve response times, and partly due to the Active Shooter Program he instituted at the schools which required between four and six officers at the same time. Instead of replacing each vehicle every seven years, the department would be replacing vehicles every ten years. The department's policy was that officers were not allowed to use the vehicles for personal use, but were allowed to take them home. Terry asked for clarification from the city attorney in reference to Title 6 and the city' s procurement code, and Brooking said it appeared that this vehicle purchase seemed to be tagged onto the state' s competitive bid process in order to obtain the best price for the vehicle and, therefore, was not required to go through the city's competitive bid process. Clemons added that it was more advantageous to go through the state's bid process in this case because of the economies of scale resulting from the state's purchase of hundreds of vehicles at a time. Motion Passed Unanimous 1�� City of Seward, Alaska City Council Minutes March 26, 2013 Volume 39 Page Other New Business Discussion on sending a city official to the unveiling of the mural in Obihiro, Japan in • September. Council selected Mayor Seaward to be the city's representative in Japan. Discussion on declarations and rulings of conflicts of interest. Brooking suggested council consider creating a procedure to determine a common law conflict of interest versus a financial conflict of interest. Brooking advised that in any conflict of interest case, rulings should be made individually so that each individual's involvement may be considered on its own merit. Council directed the City Attorney and City Clerk to bring forward a resolution proposing changes to the language in Rules 20 and 28 in the Council Rules of Procedure. In response to Seaward, Brooking said the procedure for "reconsidering" his previous ruling on a conflict of interest for Bardarson and Keil relating to the Community Health Center Board (CHC) would be to make a new motion at the next meeting to re -rule on their conflict of interest declarations individually. Seaward questioned the original resolution that had approved the appointment of Bardarson and Keil to the CHC Board of Directors, and City Clerk Johanna Kinney confirmed that the council did appoint them. Discussion of the city old museum/gym space. When asked about the possibility of the He Will Provide Food Bank using the space, Long said he still needed to speak with Jackie Campbell to discover their needs, and possibly visit the food bank during their distribution of foodstuffs on a Thursday. As an alternative, Terry suggested a Mom & Tot program be considered in that space as long as private industry was not able to offer it. Bardarson suggested a cultural exchange center where various classes could be held. Seaward suggested that the space could be leased out. Discussion on sending a letter to the House and Senate Finance Committees supporting the Seward Marine Industrial Center Expansion Project. Long presented a letter for council's endorsement and signature, requested by Senator Cathy Giessel, to the House and Senate Financial Committees outlining the Coastal Villages Regional Fund (CVRF) and Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC) expansion plans.

Our days grow longer and brighter as summer approaches. I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. On August 28, 1903, eighty -three men, women, and children, arrived at Resurrection Bay on the steamer, the Santa Ana. Aboard this steamer were two brothers, John and Frank Ballaine, who arrived on the Lowell Homestead. The Ballaine brothers envisioned a railroad to the interior of Alaska with a coastal headquarters. The settlers cleared the town -site, erected buildings, and began the construction of the Alaska Central Railroad, later to become the Alaska Railroad. The landing date of August 28, 1903 is remembered as Seward's Founders' Day. On behalf of the City of Seward, I am honored to extend an invitation to the City of Obihiro to attend the 110 Anniversary of Seward's Founding on August 28, 2013. We would like to invite a delegation of up to nine people to help celebrate this historic event. The City of Seward will plan to cover all expenses of the delegation while in Seward, except airfare and lodging due to budgetary constraints.

We would very much appreciate a response to this invitation by June 1, 2013. This is another exciting year for our Sister City Relationship.
