Agenda Item: Resolution 2022-040: Approving the Re-Appropriation of $75,576.87 In
Funding By the Kenai Peninsula Borough Towards the Japanese Creek Flood
Mitigation Project
Background and justification:
Resolution 2020-009 approved the appropriation of$135,000 towards the City of Seward's share of
the funding for the Japanese Creek Feasibility Study. This project was a joint collaboration between
the City of Seward, United States Army Corp. of Engineers, Kenai Peninsula Borough, and the
Seward Bear Creek Flood Service Area. The project produced a feasibility study which informed the
participating entities on next steps which are targeted at improving flood control (see the attached
technical report). The forecasted project cost was $900,000 and actually came in under budget.
The next phase in the project is for the borough to contract with a private entity to move forward
with mitigation in the lower portion of Japanese Creek, continuing flood risk, mapping efforts, and
production of shovel ready plans for Dieckgraeff Road. This resolution provides approval to the
Kenai Peninsula Borough to redirect the City of Seward's"reimbursement"of$75,576.87 towards
continuing work on the mitigation project.
