Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: November 12, 2019
To: Seward City Council
Through: Scott Meszaros, City ManageEf
ti�;7
From: Norm Regis, Harbormaster
Agenda Item: Changes to the Port & Harbor Tariff Regulations
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Some tenant's vessel owners pull their vessels in the winter months and some leave to commercial
fish or sail throughout the summer/winter months, depending on the date they leave or return and
turn on or shut their power off,it could be between one day and 30 days during the billing cycle,with
them paying the full customer charge.
The harbor is proposing a change to the Port and Harbor tariff for the electrical customer charge for
tenants.
An example, if the tenant decides to pull his vessel on the 19" of the month they will be billed a
$22.36 customer charge for electricity for four days of use since our electric billing month goes from
the 15'h each month. This is not good customer service,so if we prorate this in one week increments
his bill would be $5.59.
The harbor proposes a change to the customer charge for tenants from$22.36 once per billing cycle
to prorate the tenant customer charge in one-week increments, once per billing cycle.
