Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: June 24, 2019
To: City Council
Through: City Manager, Scott Meszaros�
From: Library Museum Director, Valarie Kingsland
Agenda Item: Accepting funds from the Seward Trailblazers and the Kenai Mountains-
Turnagain Arm Corridor Communities Association to upgrade the Seward
Museum Iditarod Exhibit
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
In early 2019, the Seward Community Library & Museum staff, Museum volunteers and the
Seward Iditarod Trail Blazers agreed that the Iditarod exhibit needed to be upgraded to better tell
and distinguish the stories of the Iditarod National Historic Trail and the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog
Race since both have significant historical ties to Seward. The Curator planned and submitted
proposals with a project cost estimated at $1,958.50 to interested agencies in February 20I9.
In April 2019, the Seward Iditarod Trail Blazers, Inc. approved paying half the estimated cost of
the Seward Museum Iditarod Exhibit Upgrade project in the amount of$979.25.
In April 20I9, the Kenai Mountains-Turnagain Arm (KMTA) Corridor Communities Association
approved a grant to cover the other half of the estimated cost of the Seward Museum Iditarod
Exhibit Upgrade project in the amount of$979.00 that requires an equal in-kind or cash match.
The required minimum $979 match for the KMTA Grant will be made through in-kind labor of
Resurrection Bay Historical Society volunteers who have, and are continuing to, dedicate many
hours to completely uninstall the Iditarod exhibit, clean and care for the objects, reinstall the
exhibit and create sign mounts, at $27.88 per hour. This effort is expected to exceed the required
36 hours.

Grant Request Amount: $979.00
Matching non-federal funds leveraged towards the project (include in-kind contributions):
$979.00 (Trailblazers), as well as $412.00 of in-kind volunteer work by Mark Luttrell.
Project Name: Seward Museum Iditarod Exhibit Upgrade
Project Description: Our request is for a project at the Seward Museum, a part of the Seward
Community Library & Museum.The Museum is a partnership between the City of Seward and
the Resurrection Bay Historical Society formalized officially in a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU). The Seward Museum Iditarod Exhibit Upgrade will be adding a 3-D freestanding image
of Dan Seavey mushing with his team, a wall mural of Rainy Pass during the Iditarod Race with
Mitch Seavey and his team in the far distance, and a re-design of the Iditarod Race signage, in
color and size, to match the existing Iditarod Trail plaque in an effort to create a clearer
understanding among visitors of the differences and overlaps between the "Trail" vs. the
"Race." There will also be an additional printed and mounted Iditarod Trail image.

Is your project within the Heritage Area? (Some exceptions can be made for support of exhibits
about the National Heritage Area. One example might be an exhibit about the Dena'ina people
which will be housed in the Anchorage Museum.)
❑X Yes
❑ No
1. How does your project increase public awareness and appreciation for the natural, historic,
scenic, and cultural resources of the KMTA National Heritage Area?
Visitors tend to confuse Iditarod Race with the Iditarod Trail. We are attempting to clarify
the differences while still celebrating both: the Iditarod Trail, now a national historic trail
with its beginnings as a mail and supply route (via dogsled) from Seward and Knik to the
interior mining camps and beyond to the West Coast communities; and the Iditarod Race
today, a 1049 mile sled dog race from Willow to Nome that commemorates the trail and the
sled dogs that played a role in the opening of the Alaskan frontier.
2. What partners will be included as part of this project and how will they be involved?
(Involvement, collaboration, and communication with stakeholders is essential for a strong
project proposal.) The Trailblazers are partners in this project. Indeed they have expressed
strong enthusiasm for the upgrade of this exhibit, especially for the changes to the
narratives, as well as the additions of powerful and dramatic images that pull the visitor into
the amazing experience that is the Iditarod Race.

3. In what ways will KMTA be recognized or involved with your project?
A new trend we are implementing this year is to incorporate signage with each refurbished
exhibit that acknowledges those organizations and individuals who played a part in making
those projects happen.
4. Are public lands involved? (If so, the project must have the approval of the governmental
agency.)
❑ Yes
❑X No
5. Will youth be involved in the project?
❑X Yes
❑ No
If youth will be involved in the project, please explain.
Youth are involved in the sense that many children visit the Seward Museum, not only from the
Seward community, and outlying areas such as Moose Pass, Crown Point and other towns of the Eastern
Kenai Peninsula, but from other places in Alaska, the Lower 48, and other countries. We give
teacher/student tours in the museum, and also offer different activities to visiting children that relate to
artifacts and stories in the museum.
6. If a private owner of a historic structure/project, are you committed to maintain the historic
appearance of the structure for a reasonable length of time? *(Heritage Area funding for
privately owned historic structures will be limited to preservation of aspects of the structure
that are visible and accessible to the public.)
❑ Yes
❑ No
❑X NA
7. Does your project have the potential to impact cultural resources and/or historic
properties? If so, please explain the current status of your project in regards to Section 106
compliance (reference flowchart from Step 1).

mounted Iditerid Race image ($820.50); the installation costs for the wall mural and the 3-D
Dan Seavey image ($355.00); labels ($83.00); and miscellaneous supplies ($99.00).
2. In-kind Sources: (Please list your In-Kind Sources, volunteer contributions and donations)
There is a total of$412.00 (15 hrs @ $27.45) worth of in-kind donation work by Mark
Luttrell that will be included in this project.
3. Cash Sources: (Please list the sources of your Cash Match)
The Trailblazers will be paying 50% (or$979.00) of the total budget cost. This will include
the payment for the image reproduction rights, the mural and 3-D image install, and $24.00
worth of materials.
4. Project period: (one year grant cycle) Please estimate the lifespan of your project, including
the short-term and long-term impacts of the dollar amount invested today:
I would estimate the lifespan of the project at five years, since it forms a part of a
permanent museum exhibit.
5. Project Activities: (please list)
Group and private museum tours, museum scavenger hunt, speaker events, Iditerod Race
musher and dogs event, Map Your Own Race (or Trail) Museum Craft Activity.
