PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Council of the City ofSeward, Alaska, this 28"' day of July, 2014, 9 Council Agenda Statement Meeting Date: July 28, 2014 nirougir Jim Hunt,City Manager From: Ron Long, Assistant Q �r&Community Development Direct arm 0-7 Z7,-',- Agenda Item: To enter into a purchase and sale agreement between the City of Seward and the Friends of the Jesse Lee Home,disposing of property at less than fair market value to a nonprofit corporation, for lots 15A and 1513,Jesse Lee Home Heights Subdivision Addition No.4 according to Plat 89-18 BACKGROUND & 11 IRTIFICA-TION: The Jesse Lee Horne is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been identified by the Seward Historic Preservation Comurtission,Planning and Zoning Commission,previous City Councils and the State of Alaska as a property that should be preserved and rehabilitated, 'rhe City of Seward acquired the Jesse 1,ee Home property through a foreclosure action in 2001 after previous private preservation efforts failed, The Friends of the Jesse Lee Home (FJLf I) was formed to preserve the property as an education facility and has since worked to obtain funding for the rehabilitation and development of the Property and to develop a business model that can sustainably operate the property as an educational and residential/boarding school. The property was appraised by Mac Swain Associates LLC in 2011 and the two parcels were val tied at $470,000 for the raw land. The Kenai Peninsula Borough assesses the properties' value at$193,500. The City's cost basis in the property is $264,958 paid in back taxes and assessnients, plus untallied administrative, maintenance, and risk control costs. FJLH has coordinated$33,125 in environmental Studies, [JAZMA*r assessments and survey work that estimate the costs of HAZMAT abatement at S216,000. Actual costs may be more, and other costs would be necessary to make the property marketable for other uses. FJLH wishes to acquire, rehabilitate and develop the Property for use as a public educational and residential boarding school. Tice Friends ofthe Jesse Lee Home intend to submit an application to the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District for a charter school,The Property requires significant physical inaprovenients to be used for such purposes,and such uses also require that governmental peri-nits and approvals be granted, The City recognizes that in its current state the property is more of as liability than an asset to the City, and that FJLll is uniquely situated as the most likely entity to bring the property back to a viable state that will restore the public purpose and maintain the historic significance of the property. FJLH has coordinated significant funding towards the project,has done considerable architectural an(] engineering work already, and now needs to gain site control before beginning the mkior work of restoration and development, Yet more funding is needed to complete the proJect;FULH will exhaust sillefforts to ensure the project succeeds but there is no guarantee that a source can he found or that the project will actually he completed.The Friends of the Jesse Lee[Ionic and the City adn ii nist ration have negotiated the attached Purchase and Sale agreement that,attempts to further(fie Friends'obJectives and the City's desire to see the project succeed but at the same time ensure that if it does not, that the City 10 will at least take back ownership of as developable and sellable property. 'I"he agreement prioritizes the HAZMATabatement and environmental cleanup work and provides a reasonable timeline to complete that work,The City receives no cash in this agreement,and this is a less than fair market value transaction. As consideration, the: City accepts the $290,500 of planned improvements as described in the Purchase and Sale Agreement,at the timeline benchmarks therein,to be of good value and in the public's interest. Additionally, a reversionary clause endures with the prol.ject to ensure that if the property is used for any purpose other than that which the City accepts,as a condition to the transaction (use as a public educational and residential boarding school), ownership goes back to the City, Development of the Property by the Buyer as an educational and residential/boarding facility will be a public benefit. The educational and residential/ boarding school will have a positive economic development impact for the community including short and long-term employment,The Friends of the Jesse Lee Home is uniquely situated and able to redevelop the Property. This Agreement is in the city's best interest to dispose of unused land and provide necessary site improvements to make the property an asset to the community and not as continuing liability, jNTEW: To dispose of property at less than fair market value as described in the Resolution and Purchase arid Sale Agreement.

'THE CITY OF SEWARD,ALASKA - Y4-112 Q Clark Corbridge,Mayly 25 CoTbTlaae ' w e' Lewis r pp 26 Council Agenda Statement Meeting Date: April 28, 2008 Through: Phillip Oates, City Manager Agenda Item: Authorizing the city manager to accept a $1 Million grant from the Alaska Department of Natural Resources and authorizing the city manager to execute an RFP for a Phase 11 structures report to help outline the most immediate structural needs prioritize the highest priorities and provide recommendations for immediate stabilization I*or the Friends of the Jesse Lee Home. BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: The Friends of the Jesse Lee Home (Friends)are a statewide special interest group dedicated to the preservation of the Jesse Lee Home for a worthy sustainable end use. The Friends have embraced a leadership charter school as their preferred alternative use for the facility, and are actively lobbying for funds and seeking grants to fulfill their plans. The Jesse Lee Home buildings are national treasures. They are listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places. The National Trust for Historic Preservation found the buildings, their history and the proposed use to be compelling enough to award a nationally competitive pre- development grant. The Friends secured a$1 Million grant from the State of Alaska in 2007 and are expecting another$1 Million grant from the State of Alaska in 2008. The Friends have an active capital campaign where they are raising additional private and corporate funds; in addition to seeking grants and historic preservation tax credits to complete the end goal of fully restoring the property. The Friends propose to restore the facilities to their best and highest use,as a residential, statewide leadership charter school for high-school aged youth. Students from across the state will come to stay at the Jesse Lee Home to study with local day students in Alaska's only residential charter school, learning through competency-based educational techniques about leadership, democracy, sciences, mathematics, politics, technology and the humanities at the same time as they learn about what makes Alaska work: hands-on skills such as plumbing,welding, computer repair, home-building and healthcare. This leadership charter school will be a state of the art, innovative education model customized for our state's greatest needs. The Jesse Lee Home leadership charter school will provide a critical component of Alaska's education ensuring a secure future for our state. This charter school will not only instill leadership skills, it will also instill a sense of experiential learning and democratic education to specifically foster the future leaders of the State of Alaska. The goal is that upon graduation from the Jesse Lee program, these students will be technologically fluent, self-motivated, committed to lifelong learning and have a strong sense of responsibility. They will then go back home and share their experiences with their communities. It is hoped that students will foster lifelong relationships with their Jesse Lee Home peers. They will grow up to be leaders in their communities, able to address complex issues capably and empathetically across the traditional divides of race, gender and class. Economic Benefits to the Community: 'The Jesse Lee Home is physically located in Seward, Alaska. The Friends ofthe Jesse Lee Home (Friends)expect that students from the ten rural and urban school districts using the Re-Inventing Schools Coalition(RISC)approach will be interested in semester-long, cross-district cohorts, The Friends believe that students from across the state will compete for regional corporation scholarships to cover their room and board costs for semester or year-long stays. The Friends also believe that the home-school population of Seward is a potential day school cohort and is collaborating with the public high school to create a partnership effort in conjunction with the Kenai Peninsula school district. Charter schools are affecting community economic development(CED) in three major ways. First,there is growing evidence that an increasing number of community-based organizations are starting charter schools to expand their current services. Second, as neighborhood schools improve, families are less likely to move once they have children. Finally,with respect to real estate development,charter schools often purchase or lease vacant,dilapidated buildings, long viewed as eyesores, and renovate them into state-of-the-art new schools and even community centers. Charter schools have a direct impact on community development as they help turn rundown, unused structures into renovated school buildings. Charter schools are generally welcome to communities and are positive additions to their neighborhoods. The Jesse Lee home is a cherished landmark and a fully restored facility will allow the community to treasure their historic landmark. Furthermore, the Jesse Lee Home will become the gem of the state, where Alaskan leaders teach students to become the future leaders of our great state. City of Seward Historical Support: In 2005,Resolution 2005-66 recognized the Jesse Lee Home as a historical landmark for the State of Alaska and the City of Seward, and recognized the restoration of the Jesse Lee Home as a City priority, and directed the city manager or his designee to support the Historic Preservation Commission to develop relationships with private, state and federal organizations to further pursue the preservation and restoration of the Jesse Lee Home. Again, in 2005, Resolution 2005-83 supported the use of the Jesse Lee Home as an educational institution and directed the city manager or his designee to support the Historic Preservation Commission to apply for a grant or grants intended to develop a feasibility study and continue to pursue relationships with private, state and federal organizations. In 2006, the City of Seward approved resolution 2006-119 recognizing the Friends,of the Jesse Lee Home (Friends) as a statewide interest group and project partner dedicated to the restoration of the Jesse Lee Home as a statewide leadership school. Again,in 2006,Resolution 2006-119 directed the city manager to support the Friends in seeking private grants and/or the funding for the Jesse Lee Home and support the Friends to assure the success of this partnership. In 2007, the Friends of the Jesse Lee Home secured a state grant of$I Million for the purpose of immediate stabilizing of the Jesse Lee Home. The State of Alaska has appropriated grant funds to the, Department of Natural Resources totaling$1 Million. The Friends of the Jesse Lee Home have created bylaws and articles ofineorporation to create a non- profit,501(c)3. This status is still pending state approval. Until they receive this status, the Friends are not a legal entity and are not able to administer the$1 Million for a structures report or immediate I) �W �.11 01,. stabilization. Due to the fragile state of the Jesse Lee Home structures,the Friends are concerned that time is of the essence. The Friends would like to update the structures report that was administered by the City of Seward in 2003 to obtain a professional recommendation for the immediate stabilization of the structures and have asked the City of Seward to, assist them in this eflbrt. The Friends are able to provide administrative assistance to help facilitate the request for proposal and the City will not incur any costs other than some in-kind staff time. The Friends have requested the City of Seward advertise,award and administer a contract to secure services, from a professional to prepare the phase 11 engineering report. The $I Million grant will cover all costs to the City. Attached is a Friends of the Jesse Lee Home Background summary report for additional information about the project. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Where applicable,this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures. FISCAL NOTE: There is no cost to the City of extending this contract other than some in-kind staff assistance. RECOMMENDATION: Seward City Council approve Resolution 2008-ai authorizing the city manager to accept a$1 Million grant from the Alaska Department of Natural Resources and authorizing the city manager to execute an RFP for a Phase R structures report to help outline the most immediate structural needs,prioritize the highest priorities and provide recommendations for immediate stabilization for the Friends of the Jesse Lee Home. -, 'I 4�t, ')
