THE CITY OF SEWARD
COVID-19 CARES ACT FUNDING PROGRAM
MUNICIPAL RECOVERY PROGRAM
BUSINESS AND NONPROFIT CARES ACT RECOVERY GRANTS
AND
INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE VIA COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
INTRODUCTION:
The Seward City Council held a Special Meeting on June 12, 2020 reviewing staff
recommendations and proposing suggestions and an approach to distributing federal funds
received by the City under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES
Act"). There was a subsequent smaller meeting held on June 29, 2020 with the Seward City
Council Budget Committee, Chamber Director, and Administration. In accordance with
program mandates, Council authorizes governmental, private, nonprofit grants, using CARES
Act funds, which are intended to help provide economic relief due to the COVID-19 related
public health emergency as authorized under the CARES Act. The Administration focused on
developing programs outlined by the CARES Act in order to provide meaningful impact to the
community in an expeditious manner, and in hopes of avoiding issues experienced by other
communities which have implemented similar programs.
A wide range of programs and guidance were referenced and considered in creating the
Seward program, along with the need for timely relief support with as few restrictions as
possible to so that funds can be expended as needed, balanced with accountability, and
through a simplified and expeditious process that is in the best interests of both the City and
applicant. The City enacted policy includes clearly defined guidelines to ensure consistent,
standardized process to ensure clear project compliance and auditable disbursements of funds
to qualifying businesses and organizations that will facilitate the greatest good with the limited
funds available.
The requirements and needs of the City and its constituents have been assessed, and a set of
responsive programs have been developed to help ensure the City succeeds in expending funds
to best serve the citizens and businesses of Seward.
OVERVIEW:
The State of Alaska received $562.5 million in federal funds under the CARES Act. The City of
Seward expects to receive $5,324,326 of those CARES Act funds in three equal installments of
$1,470,626, which are to be used for expenditures incurred in response to and to aid in the
economic recovery from the COVID19 Public Health Emergency. The Administration provided
an approach to distributing the economic recovery funds based upon approaches taken in other
City of Seward Cares Act Grant Program
21
Alaskan communities, input from City staff, and following extensive conference discussions in
order to identify how to best support the long-term recovery of our local economy. There have
been numerous changes and problematic issues with several early programs, and it is
Administration's intention to ensure that we do not allocate any funds towards non-eligible
purposes. Therefore, the guiding premise underlying the City's program is to "ensure that
assistance is determined to be necessary in response to the COVID-19 public health
emergency..." for qualifying purposed under the CARES Act.
Council took formal action at its July 13, 2020 meeting approving a resolution authorizing the
City Manager to execute an agreement requesting appropriation of the initial CARES Act
funding. The funding allocation plan for expenditures requires approval by City Council. The
funding program is designed to identify broad categories of recipients, including: governmental
(City resiliency and recovery), private business and nonprofit organizations, and organizations in
our Community that provide broad services and assistance to individuals within the community.
The intent of the program is to provide financial resiliency and assistance resulting from the
COVID-19 public health emergency and funding allocations.
Proposed City allocation of CARES Act Funding:
$1,250,000— First Responder and Incident Management Team Payroll and qualifying related
City emergency expenditures. This allocation includes a reimbursement of City payroll expenses
for Fire Department, Police Department, Public Safety Dispatch, and Incident Management
Team incurred as a result of the COVID-19 public health emergency. This allocation also
includes reimbursement of City purchases incurred to ensure the health and safety of City
employees and residents thorough state recommended improvements.
$2,500,000— Business Recovery Grants (BRG). This allocation includes grant awards to
qualifying City of Seward businesses affected by COVID-19 to offset impacts or to provide
mitigation. The City will administer a grant program to determine eligibility and requirements
that may apply. The grant program guidelines are outlined in this document.
$250,000—CARES Act Administration & Non-Payroll Expenditures. This allocation includes
reimbursement of City expenses related to COVID-19, which have been documented
throughout the emergency condition. Items such as legal expenses, finance expenses to
administer and run the program, and other non-first responder related costs associated with
COVID-19. All expenditures from this department will follow all City code requirements.
$1,224,326—Assistance Grants for Non-Profit Organizations. This allocation will include grants
to nonprofit organizations to assist the Seward community impacted by COVID-19. The City will
administer a grant program to determine eligibility restrictions and requirements that apply. It
is anticipated that a formal call for grant proposals will be noticed to obtain non-profit
organizations financial needs/asks and service programs they would provide under their
request.
City of Seward Cares Act Grant Program
22
$0— City Resiliency and Recovery. This allocation will include City of Seward capital projects or
expenses intended to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19, to include additional future emergency
operations, partner operations and incident related issues that may arise. The funding
allocation is provided to take operations and resiliency through the end of 2020, additional
preparedness and expenditures from this department will follow all City code requirements.
BUSINESSES:
The grant categories for small businesses will be divided into four tier levels. The tiers are
based on each business's 2019 total gross sales for four quarters as reported on their tax
returns to the Borough, and are as follows:
• Tier 1 - Up to $1,500 for businesses with 2019 revenues of$20,000 to $50,000;
• Tier 2 - Up to $5,000 for businesses with 2019 revenues of$50,001 to $100,000;
• Tier 3 - Up to $10,000 for businesses with 2019 revenues of$100,001 to $250,000;
• Tier 4 - Up to $15,000 for businesses with 2019revenues of$250,001 to $500,00
• Tier 5 - Up to $20,000 for businesses with 2019 sales of more than $500,001.
If the demand for grants exceeds the City's available funds, the City reserves the right to
prorate and allocate the grants equally to all recipients in order to stay within available funding.
A business must have been in existence as of January 1, 2020, to qualify. This requirement
would not exclude an existing business with a state license, and that has previously filed tax
returns with the Borough, even though it may have reported no operations in January 2020
(such as a seasonal business).
For purposes of determining eligibility for a new business without a full year's tax returns for
2019, the City would take gross sales reported for any quarters in 2019 or the first quarter 2020
and extrapolate the numbers to estimate a full year's sales for the business.
Businesses that are not required to file sales tax returns with the Borough must provide a copy
of their most recent federal income tax return or other proof of revenues as deemed suitable
by the City review committee to determine the level of grant award they might qualify to
receive.
The business must be (i) located within the City of Seward, (ii) possess all required valid
business licenses; and (iii) current in its sales tax registration with the City of Seward and Kenai
Peninsula Borough. The business owner(s) does not have to be a resident of the City of Seward,
but they must maintain Alaska Residency status.
The program is open to all qualifying businesses, regardless of whether they have applied for or
have obtained any other state or federal COVIDI9-related assistance.
City of Seward Cares Act Grant Program
23
The program will exclude from eligibility:
• C Corporations traded on a U.S. stock exchange or a corporate-equivalent entity traded
on a foreign stock exchange, and businesses owned in whole or majority-owned by such
a publicly traded corporation.
• National chains that own and operate their premises in Seward; franchise owned-and-
operated businesses in Seward would be eligible.
• Businesses with a City lien for code enforcement, Fire Safety Violations, or legal action
• Businesses with a Borough lien for unpaid sales taxes. A sales tax delinquency would not
disqualify a business from the grant program unless the borough has initiated a lien on
that debt. Businesses that have entered into a payment plan with the Borough and are
adhering to that plan would be eligible for the grant, so long as the lien has been lifted.
• Businesses currently in bankruptcy proceedings at time of application.
• Businesses that lack a permanent physical presence in the City for the sale of goods or
the provision of services with at least one employee assigned to that facility.
• Marijuana related businesses.
Businesses sharing physical quarters may each apply and qualify for their own grant, so long as
each business (i) has its own state license, (ii) files a sales tax return under its own name and
(iii) does not share the same ownership with the other co-located businesses, or a bank
account.
Applicants are required to self-certify, on a form to be developed by the City, that they have
been affected by the COVID-19 public health emergency and resulting economic impacts. The
intent of the federally funded CARES Act program is to assist communities and businesses that
suffered economic harm from the public health emergency. Impacts could include, though are
not limited to, loss of sales due to mandatory shutdown, inventory loss, additional operating
expenses of reopening and protecting staff and customers, including funds already spent for
those purposes.
Steps for businesses to self-certify that they have been affected by COVID-19:
• Businesses shall provide a narrative of how they have been affected by the COVID-19
public health emergency.
• Business will be asked to provide a short reference as to how they might use the
money, making clear that the application question is voluntary and for informational
purposes only to gauge community need and effectiveness of the program.
• Applicants will be required to check a box that states they intend to remain in business
into 2021.
• The grant funds must be fully expended by December 30, 2020.
• The applicant must certify that the information provided is true and accurate and that
they agree to assist in the verification of information provided in the application and to

City of Seward Cares Act Grant Program
24
The application period will remain open until September 25, 2020, or until all funds allocated to
this program component are expended, whichever is earlier. The City or its designee will verify
the information as the applications arrive, and upon approval will distribute funds in
coordinated batches as received.

It is the City's intent, to the extent allowed by law, that the review process work and
discussions, and the applications themselves, will not be available to the public. The names of
businesses that receive grants and the amount each receives will be considered a public record.
The City reserves the right to amend any criteria or procedures as may be required if new state

CARES ACT registered in Seward.

prorate and allocate the grants equally to all recipients in order to stay within available funding.
Annual income will be determined by the nonprofit's most recent IRS Form 990 from 2018 or
2019, or other qualifying verification. For those nonprofits that do not file with the IRS, the City
will accept an audited financial statement or an unaudited statement by a third-party preparer.
The program is open to nonprofits that provide services to residents of the City, regardless of
where the nonprofit has its main office — though the nonprofit must have a physical or service
presence within the City of Seward — and regardless of whether the local chapter or affiliate is
part of a larger statewide or national organization.
The program is limited to nonprofit organizations that suffered economic hardship due to
theCOVID-19 public health emergency. Applicants should request funding to offset expenses; a
grant CANNOT be used to replace revenue (or) to contribute to the organization's revenue
fund.
City of Seward Cares Act Grant Program
25
Additional eligibility rules and requirements:
• The grants will be available only to IRS certified 501 nonprofits (the full list of IRS 501

• The nonprofit must have been in operation serving City of Seward residents since at
least January 1, 2019.
• A majority of the group's local board of directors or local advisory board and its officers

advisory or governing board
• Faith-based nonprofits are eligible, so long as they provide services which are promoted
and available to the general public without regard to religious affiliation.
• Nonprofit organizations "that are principally engaged in teaching, instructing,
counseling, or indoctrinating religion or religious beliefs, whether in a religious or
secular setting, or primarily engaged in political or lobbying activities" are not eligible (as
per 13 CFR § 120.110(k) in the Code of Federal Regulations)
All grant funds must be fully expended by December 30, 2020.
The program is limited to nonprofits economically damaged by the COVID-19 public health
emergency.
Steps for nonprofits to self-certify that they have been affected by COVID-19:
• The nonprofit will be required to briefly describe how it and/or its work has been
affected, but will not be required to provide financial statements, budgets, receipts or
other records detailing the financial damages.
• The program is open to all qualifying nonprofits, regardless of whether they applied or
obtained any other state or federal COVID-19-related assistance.
• Applicants will be asked to provide a brief report to the City no later than one year after
receipt of the grant funds, reviewing the use of the money. This is voluntary and is
requested to assist the City in evaluating the impact of the program.
• The applicant will need to certify that the information provided is true and accurate, and
they agree to assist in the verification of information provided in the application and to
provide additional information to the City, if requested.
The application period may remain open until September 25, 2020. The review committee will
verify the information as the applications come in and distribute out funds in coordinated
batches.
The review committee will determine whether the application is complete and the nonprofit is
eligible under the program requirements.
City of Seward Cares Act Grant Program
26
An applicant denied by the review committee may appeal to the City Manager (in writing). Any
appeal must be filed in writing by 5 p.m. the 10th calendar day after the day the applicant
received notice from the City.
It is the City's intent, to the extent allowed by law, that the review committee's work and
discussions, and the applications themselves, will not be available to the public. The names of
businesses that receive grants and the amount each receives will be considered a public record.
The City reserves the right to amend any criteria or procedures as may be required if new state
or federal guidelines are issued.
INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHERS VIA NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS:
Individual Assistance may be provided via nonprofits to assist City of Seward households for
individuals with direct impacts documented back to impacts related COVID-19.
This program will be provided by our partner non-profit organizations from the non-profit pool
of funds.
The City will review all applications on a rolling basis until all funds are allocated or the end of
the application period. Any decision to grant an application is within sole discretion of the
review committee and is not subject to appeal or challenge.
CONCLUSION:
The City of Seward will administer all grant programs and will likely utilize temporary assistance
for processing or assisting in administration of the grant program. While the program is
intended to provide assistance, unfortunately no one will become whole from it. The goal is to
give some relief so the community, as a whole, can survive until the next year and endure this
financially devastating event.
To ensure the capture of all available funds, the City will monitor the ongoing distribution of
funds and align allocated funding to program designations as rapidly as possible.
In order to reach the small businesses and nonprofit organizations in the City that may be
eligible, a successful community outreach strategy is necessary. This strategy will include the
following:
• Press Releases to local media;
• Direct mail to businesses with active licenses and registered nonprofits; and
• Coordination with the Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District (KPEDD) and
Seward Chamber of Commerce.
City of Seward Cares Act Grant Program
27
Information about the program as well as application forms, FAQs, a summary of the program
and application process, and timetable will be provided on the City's website at
www.citvofseward.net as well as a direct contact email and phone number for inquiries.
Applications must be submitted with W-9 form from the Internal Revenue Service. Applicants
who submit incomplete applications or whose requests are denied will be notified via email.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to determine whether:
a. Proceeds from the grant are taxable, or
b. The receipt of a grant under this program precludes eligibility for any other grant aid
programs.
Grants under this program are subject to audit. Businesses are required to maintain records for
a period of 6 years.
