A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPLY FOR A LAND
AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND GRANT TO REFURBISH THE
NATIONAL HISTORIC IDITAROD TRAIL BIKEPATH
WHEREAS, Waterfront Park annually serves hundreds of thousands of visitors and locals.
Weather and the bike path’s bayside location have caused deterioration over the past 20 years. The
requested budget will include swales, culverts, large rock, excavation of broken pieces, engineering,
project management, adding nearby French or similar drains to avoid puddling, signs and stencils
and new paving; and
WHEREAS, the State of Alaska is seeking applications for Land and Water Conservation
Fund (LWCF) Grants, and the bikepath meets the criteria; and
WHEREAS, City Council support is required in the lengthy and complex grant application
and upon the grant award, the City will be required to commit to a 50% grant match, which may be
funded by City of Seward Capital Improvement Project funds; and
WHEREAS, if the City is awarded the grant, a second resolution will be requested to accept
the grant and appropriate funds; and
WHEREAS, the intent of this resolution is to leverage federal dollars to restore and improve
a beloved recreation asset.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA that:
Section 1. City Council authorizes City Manager to apply for a Land and Water Conservation
Fund (LWCF) Grant for bikepath restoration and improvement.
