ASPEN LN. Port Graham Nanwalek Valdez Tatitlek Eyak Chenega Prince Gulf of Alaska Qutekcak William Sound Chugachmiut December 30, 2020 Norm Regis, Acting City Manager City of Seward P.O. Box 167 410 Adams Street Seward, Alaska 99664 Dear Mr. Regis: Chugachmiut is a 501(c)(3) tribal organization formed in 1975 to provide health and social services to the Alaska Native/American Indian (AN/AI) population in the Chugach region. The region is composed of seven communities and villages in southcentral Alaska spanning approximately 15,625 square miles, with a combined population of approximately 2,200 Alaska Natives/ American Indians including Seward/Qutekcak. Additionally, through an agreement with the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs, we provide services to veterans living in Seward and the surrounding area. In 1987 Chugachmiut established the North Star Health Clinic in Seward to provide basic primary care and to function as a regional hub for the four village clinics staffed by Community Health Aides. We've improved and supplemented services as technology and medical knowledge advanced and at present we offer a diverse selection of clinical and ancillary services. These services include, but are not limited to, enhanced primary care, pharmacy, behavioral health, substance abuse treatment & prevention, diabetes intervention & prevention, dental, tobacco intervention & prevention, nutrition, health promotion & education, telehealth, and electronic health records. Last fiscal year, ending September 30, the North Star Health Clinic processed 3,508 patient encounters in Seward and processed an additional 4,429 patient encounters to the four remote village clinics for dental, medical and behavioral health purposes. With an increase in the number of beneficiaries and service delivery over the years we have simply out grown our current clinic space and need to expand. Based on our need for expansion, we are very pleased to present an opportunity that decidedly improves the City of Seward while enhancing the health and well-being of the people we serve. Chugachmiut is partnering with the U.S. Government under the Indian Health Service Joint Venture Construction Program to build a 15,000 square foot hub clinic in Seward. The clinic comes with approximately 24 new jobs and will boost the local economy by greater consumer spending and expenses associated with the operation of a facility almost three times the size of the leased space we currently occupy. These new positions will bring professional personnel and their families to boost rental and/or the sale of homes in Seward. 1840 Bragaw Street, Suite 110 / Anchorage, AK 99508-3463 / (907) 562-4155 / Fax (907) 563-2891 A Tribal Organization Serving the Chugach Native Pewl es- Aska TAMAMTA PIGPET "AA of Ours" In addition to personnel based in Seward, the number of itinerants cycling through Seward in support of the facility will also bring increased, year-round consumption of hotel, restaurant, and other services. We anticipate a minimum of 200 itinerant lodging days with accompanying purchases at local restaurants and personal shopping as well. While Chugachmiut will be increasing staff and expanding services in Seward we will continue to be reliant upon on the local hospital for laboratory services, x-rays, and emergency room care. We will also continue to refer patients to local providers for services beyond the scope of care at the regional hub clinic. Over the past 10-11 months, Chugachmiut has been in discussions with Jackie C. Wilde, Community Development Director about the possibility of purchasing land owned by the City of Seward for this project. Ms. Wilde helped us identify sites and allowed us to conduct preliminary, non-invasive analysis of four city owned sites. After initial analysis, Chugachmiut is very interested in 3.31 acres in the southern -most section of `Fort Raymond'. Depending on price, we may be in a position to purchase more than the 3.31 acres identified. Our next step is to conduct an intensive study of the preferred land parcel. However, before we order an expensive study, we need a firm commitment along with an initial price no later than January 28, 2021 from the City of Seward for the `Fort Raymond' selection. There are fixed deadlines imposed by our federal partner for each phase of the project and an in-depth land study is mandatory. Thank you in advance and we look forward to your favorable response to this request. I'm available to meet with you and/or the Seward City Council at any time. Please do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail at jan(c�chugachmiut.org or by phone at (907) 562-4155 or (907) 441- 5514. Regards, Angela J.

January 28, 202I Christy Terry, Mayor Seward City Council P.O. Box 167 410 Adams Street Seward, AK 99664 RE: Chugachmiut Regional Health Clinic Dear Mayor Terry: The Qutekcak Native Tribe (QNT) is pleased to support the Chugachmiut Regional Health Clinic (CRHC) project in Seward and urges the Seward City Council to sell land to Chugachmiut for the project. The Fort Raymond site under consideration is situated for easy access by QNT tribal membership and others served by Chugachmiut clinical operations. While Chugachmiut may have other options, they've consulted QNT leadership in making selections and QNT considers the land in question most suitable to the needs of our membership. QNT believes the project will benefit the City of Seward while enhancing the health and well-being of QNT tribal members and other patients from the surrounding areas. We understand that the CRHC will create more than 24 new jobs and boost the Iocal economy by increased year-round consumer spending secondary to the influx of new jobs and the resulting collection of sales, bed, and property taxes. Chugachmiut's local spending for utilities and sales tax will increase due to ownership and operation of a facility almost three times the size of the space they are leasing now for the North Star Health Clinic. We were informed that the number of itinerants cycling through Seward in support of the CRHC will also bring a year-round increase to the community through hotel, restaurant and shopping opportunities. Chugachmiut estimates a minimum of 200 lodging days at local hotels plus per diem spent at local restaurants and other local vendors. Key benefits include bringing in more than 60 million in federal funding to Seward over the next 20 years; new jobs through the hiring of local contractors and construction personnel. Additional benefits include 38 permanent jobs in Seward and improved access to healthcare for under -served populations such as ours. ppa a 10 of95 P.O.

Page 21 of 95 INTRODUCTION Public lands are a finite community asset held in trust. This document addresses the city's land asset holdings and needs. The issues related directly to the management of city owned lands are numerous. • Land management decisions are being made without full knowledge of city owned lands. • How should the city determine a fair return to the community for the use of public lands? • City lands such as the city shop and Boulder Field may not be being used at their highest and best use. • How should funds from the disposal of public lands be used? • The City has not completed its selection of state entitlement lands. • Do we have sufficient lands to accommodate future public facility and transportation needs? • Is the City taking the greatest advantage of its land as a source of direct and indirect revenues? Whereas the Land Use Plan segment of the Comprehensive Plan is the primary tool to ensure quality community land use arrangements, this Municipal Lands Management Plan is a component that will provide an action guide specifically for the management of city -owned lands. The goals of the plan are to: * Provide an inventory of city owned lands, describing their present and proposed uses * Assist in establishing a successful land management program by identifying: • city lands surplus to public needs • land acquisition needs for future public facility development • lands for economic development *Assist in implementing the Seward Comprehensive Plan A Land Management Plan was last completed in May 1995. In the ensuing 19 years many parcels of land were sold, acquired, leased, altered, replatted, etc. All City owned lands have been individually updated on enclosed tables and maps. GENERAL PROVISIONS City Code Seward City Code (SCC) Chapter 7.05 is the basis for all municipal land transactions and defines "Real Property" as an estate or holding in land including tide and submerged lands, or improvements thereon. Fair Market Value SCC 7.05 states that unless otherwise found to be in the public interest, the City may not dispose of any real property interest without an appraisal of the fair market value. Fair market value is defined as the highest price, described in terms of money, which the property would bring if exposed for sale for a reasonable time in the open market, with a seller, willing to buy, both being fully informed of all the purposes for which the property is best adapted or could be used. Once that appraised fair market value is determined, the property may not be sold for less than that amount without a finding in the public interest by the City Council. Municipal Lands Management Plan - 2014 Page 22 of 95 Nominations Although this plan will identify lands for disposal through lease or sale, city Resolution 94-101 outlines procedures for the nominating public lands for disposal. Resolution 94-101 procedure allows individual entrepreneurs to make recommendations for specific lands without publicly revealing their particular development plans. Fund Classification Within the city's accounting functions there are different fund types. The General Fund includes government wide functions such as fire, police, streets, planning, parks, and other services provided to the public as a whole. Each city enterprise such as the Harbor, Electric Utility, Parking, and Water/Sewer Utility has a separate fund to account for its specialized activity. Each of these funds has land associated with its operation such as electric substation, sewer treatment plant and harbor uplands. Although land is not a depreciated asset, it may be a vehicle to generate revenues through leases or user fees which benefit that enterprise fund. ACQUISITION Seward City Code allows the city to acquire or dispose of property by three methods: negotiation, public auction or sealed bid. City Code defines "acquisition" as obtaining ownership and holding real property within or outside the city boundaries by purchase, gift, donation, grant, dedication, exchange, redemption, purchase or equity redemption, operation of law, tax or lien foreclosure, adverse possession, condemnation or declaration of taking, annexation, or by any other lawful means of conveyance. Municipal Entitlement. State law allows local governments to acquire certain public lands. State Selections The Alaska Statehood Act allowed the state to select 400,000 acres of national forest lands for community expansion, development and recreation. Municipalities (cities and boroughs) were authorized to select certain state lands within their corporate limits. The City has acquired 515 acres of its authorized 565 acre entitlement. Unfortunately, the State no longer budgets its staff to process municipal entitlement requests. In an attempt to work with the State on the remaining entitlement lands the State has noted there are no lands available for selection within the Municipality at this time. Should new lands become available the City will apply. Recommendation: Budget time and attention to applying for the remaining municipal entitlement. Possible State lands to watch are: State storage on the southwest corner of Fifth and B; once the State Shop moves out to mile 22, the current State shop land at the northeast corner of Fifth and B may become available. Tidelands. Alaska Statutes provide for municipalities to request and receive patent to state owned tidelands within its corporate limits. The city has acquired two such patents; 1330 acres stretching from Anderson Dock north along the Waterfront Park shoreline and across the head of the Resurrection Bay, to Nash Road; and 92 acres seaward of Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC). The remaining tidelands within the city include those on the west side of the bay, south of Anderson Dock. Some tidelands have been filled to accommodate commercial and industrial development such as the small boat harbor, railroad dock, Waterfront Tracts, and SMIC. Although the city deeded some tidelands to the U.S. Government for construction of the small boat harbor basin, breakwater, and railroad dock, the Corps of Engineers determined that an easement would have been sufficient for the small boat harbor project and have deeded those harbor basin tidelands back to the city. Municipal Lands Management Plan - 2014 Page 23 of 95 2 Recommendation: Budget time and attention to applying for the remainder of State tidelands and replating as needed. Donation/Gift On occasion private individuals have donated land to the city, usually for park purposes. Most notable examples of this have been around the lagoon. Eminent Domain/Condemnation Government has the legal authority to acquire or "take" private property for public purpose upon paying fair market compensation to the owner. This type of acquisition is generally used only as a last resort after other acquisition efforts have failed. Tax/Lien Foreclosure State statutes require that tax foreclosed property within the City limits be deeded to the City. It gives the City the opportunity to declare by ordinance whether a foreclosed property is needed for a public purpose. If so, all redemption avenues by the former owner are closed. If property is not needed for a public use, the former owner has first right of redemption for up to 10 years. Any funds over and above taxes, penalties, interest and administrative costs gained from the sale of tax foreclosed property are made available to the former property owner within the 10 year limit. Purchase Many of the City's parcels have been purchased from private land owners. Such purchases are generally based on a fair market appraisal value. Funding for such purchases is on a cash available basis from appropriated funds. Recommendation: Establish a Land Bank where funds acquired from the sale of surplus property accrue to a special account for acquisition of other needed lands. Trade/Exchange The city has acquired some lands through trades with private and public sources. DISPOSAL Seward City Code. defines "disposition" as the transfer of City interest in real property by warranty or quitclaim deed, easement, grant, permit, license, deed of trust, mortgage, contract of sale of real property, plat dedication, lease, tax deed, will, or other lawful method or mode of conveyance or grant. Sale After conducting a public hearing, City Council may approve the negotiated, sealed bid or public outcry auction sale of public property. The sale price or minimum bid price must be at fair market value unless otherwise found to be in the public interest by the Council. The sale of land converts a capital asset to cash which accrues to the city's general fund or one of the enterprise funds. It may then be appropriated through the budget process to many different uses. There has been increasing discussions about establishing a Land Bank fund in which the proceeds for land sales would accrue for the acquisition of future municipal lands, thereby benefiting present and future citizens and promoting the orderly development and achievements of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Recommendation: Establish a Land Bank where funds acquired from the sale of surplus property accrue to a special account for acquisition of other needed lands. Lease City Council Resolution 94-101 established the most recent policy and procedure Municipal Lands Management Plan - 2014 Page 24 of 95 relating to the lease of public lands. The essential terms and conditions of city leases generally include length of the lease, rental rate, and development requirements. With the exception of those to the state or federal government, all leases require proof of liability insurance naming the city as an insured party. Leases are allowed to be assigned or sublet with written city consent. A condition of any sublet consent is that the city receives a copy of the sublet agreement including the rental value. This information is important to the city in the development of fair market land values. Although the Comprehensive Plan suggests that the city continues to dispose of commercial and industrial public land through long term leases rather than sale; lessees continue to lobby for the fee simple transfer of their sites. Although the sale of these lands would generate a large one-time cash infusion to the city, it would have a significant long term adverse impact on annual city budgets. Leases currently generate revenues of over $554,000.00 per year; and this amount generally increases over time due to periodic appraisal adjustments and new leases. These lost revenues would have to be offset in some manner in the budget process. Note: Preliminary estimates of interest that might be earned from the deposited projected lease site sale income show that it will not replace lease income revenues. Recommendation: Reaffirm the Comprehensive Plan by continuing to dispose of commercial and industrial lands through long term leases rather than sale. City lands are normally leased at fair market rental rates based on a percent of fee simple land value. The City uses an 8% rate. Reviews of other community and public agency lease policies show that this rate varies from 6% to 10% throughout the state. The lower rates appear to apply where there is strong desire to encourage development and higher rates where the demand for land is high. In Seward, there is an exceptionally high demand for land in the small boat harbor where there are no vacant lands available for lease. On the other hand the city is trying to encourage development at the Seward Marine Industrial Center. Recommendation: Consider using different rental percentage rates to reflect supply and demand on various city land areas i.e. the Seward Marine Industrial Center where land is available and development is encouraged and the Small Boat Harbor where land is in short supply and high demand. Trade/Exchange. The city has disposed of substantial acreage through land trades with both public agencies and private individuals. RIGHTS OF WAY, ENCROACHMENTS, and EASEMENTS Rights of Way (ROW) While Rights of Way normally do not convey any warranty or title interest and are not considered real property under general accounting procedures; they are a part of the city's overall land management efforts. These are lands acquired by reservation, dedication, forced dedication, prescription, or condemnation and intended to be used for public access, roads, trails, parking, and utilities. Rights -of -Way are normally dedicated to the public during the subdivision platting process, and there is usually no deed transferring ownership. They generally fall under the management authority of the local municipality providing road services. All ROW within the city are under city jurisdiction, except for Third Avenue/Seward Highway, Airport Road and a small portion of Nash Road which are State ROW. The city is responsible for developed as well as dedicated but yet un-developed Rights of Way (streets and alleys). There are platted Rights of Way which will never be developed or used because of Municipal Lands Management Plan - 2014 Page 25 of 95 4 topography and there are additional Rights of Way that the city should plan for in the future. Recommendation: a) Vacate otherwise undevelopable Rights of Way to enlarge and/or consolidate adjacent lands. (Note: This is generally accomplished when adjacent lands are replated) b) Plan Rights of Way acquisition to: 1) Connect Hemlock Avenue & Afognak Avenue and Olympia Road as an alternate exit from Gateway Subdivision and collector street for the undeveloped portion of Forest Acres and the land north and west of the schools complex. 2) Extend Chamberlain Road above the horse pasture to Phoenix Road to provide an alternate parallel route to relieve pressure on the Seward Hwy. (Note: This is private land and should be worked on when the developer choses to subdivide and replat the land) 3) Extend Benson Drive through from Swetmann Drive to Phoenix Road to provide a safer alternate egress from Gateway Subdivision. (Note: Two private parcels stand between the end of Benson Drive ROW and Phoenix Road) c) Modify and enforce the City code to discourage the use of rights of way for the storage of personal property such as trailers, inoperable /unlicensed motor vehicles, and commercial equipment. Encroachments City code provides for issuance of permits to allow an encroaching structure to remain on public right of way for the life of the structure. The purpose of this provision is to legitimize older structures that have been inadvertently constructed across a property line into a public right of way. It is not intended to condone trespassing or to allow construction in the public right of way. Most encroachments occur in the older central part of town because of small lots and zero lot line construction. They are generally discovered as a result of as -built surveys done during financing. Easements An easement is a right given by a land owner to another party for a specific limited use. The property owner retains title to the property. Government agencies generally authorize or convey such uses by permit. Generally, easements and permits are granted for access, public utilities and flood control devices on subdivision plats and by separate individual agreements. The City Code authorizes the city to grant easements not to exceed 20 years. The Community Development Department is continuing to catalog and inventory recorded and platted easements and permits issued to the City. Recommendation: a) Continue to keep an accurate and complete inventory data base of all easements. b) Work to obtain legal access/utility easements within the Clearview Subdivision Access Lowell Point Road is the most notable example of an access agreement held by the City. It is by permit from the State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources. The city has also retained numerous access easements on the prison site to allow city crews to Municipal Lands Management Plan - 2014 Page 26 of 95 serve public utility systems. Dikes/Levees The city has easements for a number of flood control levees, one alongside Gateway Subdivision for upper Japanese Creek, continuing along the West property lines of Afognak Acres Subdivision to the Transfer Station Road. To the South of Japanese Creek, is the easement for the west end of the North Forest Acres Levee and the Dieckgraeff Road Right of Way extends to the Seward Highway. A levee located on the south side of Spruce Creek at Lowell Point, to protect the sewer lagoon. Another levee to the North of Fourth of July Creek has a legal description of Tract B, Fourth of July Creel Subdivision. 21E y Water, sewer and electric are the most common easements held by the city. They are generally very specific as to size and location. In some instances a land owner will place conditions on an easement relative to cutting trees or for a specific time period.

The shop building was constructed under the post earthquake Urban Renewal Project. It was formally a storage yard for the power company. The 1968 and 1985 Seward Comprehensive Plans suggest that because of its size, unsurpassed views, and location near downtown and waterfront park, there may be a higher and better use for this site such as a convention center, a hotel, senior center, youth center, or single family housing. Thus far no suitable alternate sites have been identified that are available, affordable, or suitably located. Additionally, developers have tended to shy away from the site because of potential environmental issues related to its historical use.

The deed carried a restriction that it be used for "public recreational purposes." Because of discussions about relocating the city shops to this site, in 1982 the city requested and the State removed the "recreational use" but left the "public purposes" restriction in place. In 1996 the City requested the removal of the "for public purposes only" from the deed. In 1997 the State granted the request and removed the deed restriction & reverter clause, and counted the 22.923 acres of land towards the City's Land Entitlement fulfillment. The 1985 plan specifically addresses this lot as an alternate site to relocate the city shops. Although it is the only city owned parcel located on this side of the bay that is large enough to meet the needs of a shop location.

This area was acquired from the KPB as part of land trade for the elementary school site. Considerations for future use: Based on the study by Mike Gratz, KPB, there is a unique and important wetlands located on bench above Nash Road. Viewshed: - What is the viewshed worth to the community? What should not be developed? If community supports development and loss of the viewshed is any of it developable? Access: Is there access available? Off of Nash Road? Off the Fourth of July Creek valley? Extreme costs of access? Utilities: Power distribution lines along Nash Road would have to be changed. The transmission line poles along Nash Road are not tall enough for passage under. Public water and sewer verses private systems. Environmental: Complete study on streams and the impact of development. Water source for firefighting: The city fire department is set up for hydrants? Can a water system be put up on the bench? Will city have to develop water tanker type of firefighting capabilities? Use money from sale of other City lands such as Anderson and Roberts set up in a Lands Account. Recommendation: Extend a moratorium on the sale of any portion of this parcel until a complete study is accomplished. Evaluate for future uses industrial, commercial, residential, and/or resource management. Rezone accordingly.

GENERAL POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS Municipal Lands Management Plan - 2014 Page 77 of 95 56 Where possible the city should strive to: a. Remove reverter clauses from all city property for maximum flexibility in the use of public lands. b. Require dedication of land during subdivision replatting to widen substandard right-of-ways. C. Lease terms should be for the shortest term possible to amortize development financing and allow for windows of opportunity to make changes consistent with then current policy. d. Replat city property to vacate lot lines and consolidate lots. e. Continue to require leases to replat parcels into legal subdivisions. f. Maximize long term revenues from city lands. g. Where possible, when leases expire and it is mutually determined to continue the lease, issue new agreement documents updated to current standards. h. Develop a Land Bank account to use for the sale and purchase of city lands. i. Develop a Conservation Overlay District to protect critical natural lands. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION While it is hoped that actions presented in this plan will be implemented, it is recognized that plans must be flexible to reflect condition changes and funding availability necessary to implement certain recommendations. Plans are key program documents and should be utilized to assist in capital budgeting process of the City of Seward. The goal of any plan is for it to be implemented. In order to ensure the successful implementation of this Municipal Lands Management Plan and enable the City to realize its benefits, it should be adopted by City Council resolution and incorporated by reference as a part of the Comprehensive Plan. The City normally reviews its Comprehensive Plan annually with an overall update every five years. It is strongly urged that the Municipal Land Management Plan be reviewed and updated on the same schedule. An annual review will help track accomplishments, changes and any inadvertent omissions. Because dynamic changes in community needs and politics occur daily, it is vital that up to date information upon which to make management, planning and budgeting decisions is available to the administration and the City Council.

B. The city manager may, after determining that alternatives, including but not limited to, removal of the encroachment or vacating the right-of-way are not feasible alternatives and would not be in the public interest, and where neither public safety nor access is impaired, issue an encroachment permit for the depriciable life of the encroaching structure. 1.

Improvements and substantial permanent improvements means buildings, wharves, piers, drydocks and other similar types of structures permanently fixed to the tidelands or contiguous submerged lands that were constructed and/or maintained by the applicant for commercial, recreation, residential, or other beneficial uses or purposes. In no event shall fill be considered a permanent improvement when placed on tidelands solely for the purposes of disposing of waste or spoils. However, fill material actually utilized for beneficial purposes by the applicant shall be considered a permanent improvement. Mean low or lower water means the tide datum plane of the average of the low tides as has been or may be established by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. Mean high tide means the tidal datum plane of the average of all the high tides as has been or may be established by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.

Where land is occupied by a person other than the owner of the improvements thereon, the owner of the improvements shall, for the purposes of this definition, be considered the occupant of such lands. Occupied and developed means the actual use, control, and occupancy, but not necessarily residence, of the tide and contiguous submerged land by the establishment thereon of substantial permanent improvements. Permit preference means the privilege of the upland owner to acquire first choice over other non - preference right claimants to a permit for like use and enjoyment of city owned tide or contiguous submerged lands abutting his property. Person means any person, firm, organization, cooperative association, partnership or other entity legally capable of owning land or an interest therein. Pierhead line means the line fixed by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers that is parallel to the existing mean low tide line at such distance offshore from the mean low tide line that the pierhead line shall encompass, landward and no more, all stationary man-made structures (but shall not encompass any part of breakwaters, bridges, or piers used for vessel dockage which part extends Page 93 of 95 beyond such a parallel line marking the seaward extremity of other man-made structures) which were in existence as of February 1, 1957, to seaward of the city. Preference right subject to the established classifications, means and includes the right of an occupant to acquire by grant, purchase, or otherwise, at the election of the occupant, except as otherwise limited or prescribed in these regulations, any tract or tracts of tidelands, or tide and submerged land contiguous thereto, occupied or developed by such occupant on and prior to January 3, 1959.

It shall be mandatory for the city to honor the application from the occupant after the Secretary of the Army has submitted to the Secretary of the Interior, the Governor of Alaska and the city manager, maps showing the pierhead line established by the Corps of Engineers with respect to the land claimed. Upon proof of such occupancy, such persons have the right to acquire such tidelands and contiguous submerged lands from the city for a consideration not in excess of the cost of survey, transferring and conveying title. Preference Right, Class III means a right claimed by persons who occupied and developed tidelands and contiguous submerged lands after September 7, 1957, and who continued to occupy them on January 3, 1959. Upon proof of such occupancy, such persons have the right to acquire such tidelands and contiguous submerged lands for a consideration not in excess of the cost of appraisal, survey, administering and transferring title, plus the appraised fair market value of the land claimed, exclusive of any value accruing from improvements or development, such as fill material, buildings or structures. Upland owner means that land owner whose upland property abuts the line of mean high tide (Ord. 92-05) 7.05.620 - Preference to upland owners. Should the city decide to dispose of interest in any tide or submerged land, the city shall grant to the owner of upland property adjacent to said tide and submerged land a first preference to acquire said interest over other applicants/bidders. The upland owner shall be notified by certified mail or by a posting of a notice for three consecutive weeks of his right to exercise his preference. The upland owner shall then have 90 days to exercise this preference under this section. If the preference is not exercised by the upland owner, then the city may dispose of the tide and submerged land to others. It shall not be required that the city offer its tide and submerged lands for disposal should the city determine that it is not in its best interests to dispose of such land. The city may itself make such use of its tide and submerged lands as it may consider in the public interest without offering the tide and submerged lands to others. (Ord. 92-05) 7.05.625 - Preference right application. An occupant claiming a class I, class II, or class III preference right may apply for preference rights within two years from the effective date of the ordinance adopting these regulations.
