No CPV funds will be received by the City for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 due to a lack of cruise ship visitation. Many of the passengers use this service to travel from the Cruise Ship Dock to downtown Seward. This in turn has a positive impact on many businesses in Seward. The shuttle service has proven to be of a benefit to visiting tourists, Seward community members, and local businesses. Seward City Tours and the City of Seward entered an operating agreement in 2018 to continue this valuable service to the community. In 2019, the contract was amended via Amendment No. 1 to extend the agreement, increase the contract rate, and allow for the City Manager to bring a resolution to City Council for extensions in 2022 and 2023. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the cruise ship industry to be unable to visit Seward in 2020 and 2021. Amendment No. 2 was agreed to by both parties on May 4, 2021, and reduced the scope of service to daily service from 11 am to 6 pm starting at the train depot and providing transportation for visitors to access the historical downtown district. The amendment reduced the rate from $161,335 to $83,800. Resolution 2021-125 approved the extension of the operating agreement as modified through Amendment No. 2 in 2022 at the base level of $83,800 with the expectation that a supplemental resolution would be forthcoming should the City expect to receive a normal level of cruise ship visitation in 2022. Amendment No. 3 fulfills the commitment to provide for a return to a normal level of service based upon the expectation that Seward will receive 99 cruise ships in 2022. Comprehensive and Strategic Plan Consistency Information This legislation is consistent with (citation listed): Comprehensive Item 8.2 from the Seward 2030 Comprehensive Plan specifically includes the Plan: operation of a seasonal shuttle bus that provides service between the railroad depot, cruise ship terminal, and downtown Strategic Plan: Other: Certification of Funds Total amount of funds listed in this legislation: $ This legislation (✓): Creates revenue in the amount of: $ x Creates expenditure in amount of: $ 144,220 Creates a savings in the amount of: $ Has no fiscal impact Funds are (✓): RxBudgeted Line item(s): Not budgeted Finance Signature: Attorney Review✓ Administration Recommendation RYes x Adopt Resolution X Not applicable Other: Amendment No. 3 Amendment No. 3 to the agreement between the City of Seward and Seward City Tours., dated April 23, 2018 follows: WHEREAS, Resolution 2018-042 approved the contract between the City of Seward and Seward City Tours for provision of shuttle bus services for 2018 and 2019; and WHEREAS, the shuttle service has proven to be of a benefit to visiting tourists, Seward community members, and local businesses; and WHEREAS, Resolution 2019-038 authorized Amendment No. 1 to the operating contract which increased the contract rate by $21,720, extended the term by two years, and added two optional one-year extensions pending City Council approval; and WHEREAS, the operating agreement for 2021 was reduced in the scope of services through Amendment No. 2 to the contract in response to the elimination of cruise ship visitation to Seward due to the COVID-19 pandemic; and WHEREAS, Resolution 2021-125 approved the extension of the operating agreement as modified by Amendment No. 2 through 2022 at the base level of$83,00 with the expectation that a supplemental resolution would be forthcoming should the City expect to receive a normal level of cruise ship visitation in 2022; and WHEREAS, Amendment No. 3 to the operating agreement returns the level of services to be consistent with 99 cruise ships and their associated increase in ridership and increases the level of funding accordingly.
