EDITORIAL: The danger of ignoring Alaska's mental health needs
It was a nightmare scenario for Anchorage hikers: A dangerous, clearly unwell man
assaulting trail users for days near a popular trailhead. Fortunately, no one was seriously
hurt, and the man — 38-year-old Sean Ahmed —was apprehended be police and booked
before his accosting of hikers grew more violent. But just a day later, owing to
miscommunication between state and municipal prosecutors, Ahmed was back out on the
trail and once again endangering those who came to the area to recreate.

The number of Alaskans covered by Medicaid has dropped by more than 14,000 since
April, after federal protections in response to the COVID-19 pandemic ended. This number
may increase as the state continues the process of determining who is still eligible, which
was halted during the national emergency declaration.

If federal economists are to be believed, a resurgent tourism industry in the state's national
parks might make the tourist hordes more valuable than the state's most valuable
commercial salmon fishery and possibly the entire commercial fishing business. The new

the $2 billion at which a private consultancy pegged the value of the Bristol Bay salmon

Tax Hikes Could Hurt Alaska's Already Struggling Energy Sector,Analysts Warn -
Inside Sources
Facing dropping oil production and a bloated budget, Alaska's state government is
considering a new 9.4 percent tax on oil and gas companies making over $4 million
annually. However, energy analysts warn the tax hike would hurt the overall economy and
undermine the already-struggling energy sector.

Historical Background
Former military facilities at Rocky Point and Caines Head (also known as Fort
McGilvray and Battery 293) were part of the Seward Harbor Defense Network
constructed to defend Resurrection Bay and the Port of Seward from potential
Japanese attack during World War 11. Resurrection Bay was seen as a key strategic
point due to its status as Alaska's northernmost ice-free port and the southern terminus
of the Alaska Railroad (USACE 1988, 1995).
The Fort McGilvray Military Reservation was established in July 1941 , although
construction only began in earnest after the Japanese invasion of Attu and Kiska
Islands in June 1942. The initial construction camp was located at South Beach (Balles
n.d.). Roads were later built to Rocky Point, North Beach, and the Battery area (Battery
293); and the main dock was eventually established at North Beach. In August 1943,
American forces retook Attu and Kiska Islands. By April 1944, when Fort McGilvray was
ordered to be abandoned, construction of Battery 293 was reportedly 99 percent
complete (U.S. Army 1945). In 1945, the property was transferred to the Bureau of Land
Management, which in turn transferred the property to the State of Alaska in 1962
(USACE 1995). In 1971, management of the property was taken over by the State of
Alaska Department of Natural Resources Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation
(EPA 2002).
Building demolition activities were reportedly conducted at the facility by USACE
during the 1950s (Sinclair 2010) and then again in the 1970s or 1980s, though there is
no formal record of this. In the summer of 1985, Alaska State Parks cleared brush from
the old road leading from North Beach to the Battery 293 area and to South Beach to
improve access for park visitors.
Previous Environmental Activities
From 1985 through 1995, several site visits were conducted by USACE. During
one of those site visits, laboratory analytical samples collected at a former dump site at
North Beach indicated the presence of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)
contamination in the soil (USACE 1995). However, sampling conducted the following
year by Ocean Technology, Ltd. (Ocean Tech), was unable to replicate these analytical
results (Ocean Tech 1989).
In March 1995, the Director of the Alaska State Parks wrote a letter to USACE
requesting building demolition and debris removal be conducted at the site to mitigate
potential safety hazards (USACE 1995). In June 1995, USACE prepared an Inventory
Project Report (INPR) recommending that containerized hazardous, toxic, and
radioactive waste (CON/HTRW) remediation be conducted at fuel tank sites located at
the Battery 293 area and at South Beach, as well as at the dump site located at North
Beach. In January 1996, the INPR was approved; however, the project was never
funded and the CON/HTRW work was never completed.

In 2001, there was a preliminary environmental assessment conducted on behalf
of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 10 Superfund Technical
Assessment and Response Team 2 at Caines Head, which included field
reconnaissance for tank sites and the collection of soil samples for laboratory analysis
from locations adjacent to several buildings at South Beach. As a result of this
investigation, the EPA wrote a letter to Alaska State Parks granting a No Further Action
designation to the site under the Federal Superfund Program, while making it clear that
the designation did not relieve the park from State regulations (EPA 2002).
In November 2008, USACE conducted a site visit during which an additional tank
vault was identified adjacent to the entrance to the West Battery 293 structure (USACE
2008).
In September 2010, Bristol Environmental Remediation Services, LLC (Bristol)
conducted a site visit and identified both Battery 293 Structure East and West Tank
vaults and tentatively identified several other tank locations. Two months later, Bristol
and USACE staff visited the Alaska State Parks office in Sterling, Alaska, to review
additional records that were in their possession. As a result of this visit, additional tank
locations were tentatively identified at North Beach, South Beach, and Rocky Point.
Bristol performed a Site Inspection (SI) at the Caines Head FUDS between June
and July 2012. The project objective was to determine whether petroleum storage tanks
remained and if contaminants of concern concentrations in specific media at the site
were above State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC)
evaluation criteria. A total of 13 suspected petroleum storage tank sites, seven
powerhouse sites, one former dump site, and three septic sites, including the Battery
293 Septic Vault, were inspected. An As-built from the report shows a drain line leaving
the Battery 293 Septic Vault leading to a septic tank 500 feet away. From the septic
tank, a drain line leads to the edge of the cliff discharge point. Soil samples collected
adjacent to the septic tank were below ADEC cleanup levels; however, the septic tank
was 6 feet deep and the samples were collected only 18 inches deep due to bedrock
refusal (USACE 2017).
On October 6, 2015, USACE personnel conducted an SI at the Battery 293 Septic
Vault. The vault was noted to be a 4 X 4-foot square, 7-foot deep concrete structure
with the floor intact. It was noted the bottom was solid concrete. Very little sediment was
identified at the bottom. During sampling, all existing sediment was removed to satisfy
sample container requirements to perform analyses of diesel range organics, residual
range organics, gasoline range organics, PAHs, volatile organic compounds,
polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
metals plus nickel and vanadium. Sediment samples collected contained arsenic and
benzo(a)pyrene above the ADEC Human Health cleanup level up to 96 milligrams per
kilogram (mg/kg) and 1.6 mg/kg respectively. However, benzo[a]a nth race ne and
naphthalene were detected above the ADEC migration to groundwater cleanup levels
over 40 inch zone up to 2.3 mg/kg and 0.051 mg/kg, respectively. A sheen was noted
when sediment was disturbed and in the collected samples. No petroleum-oil-lubricant
odor was detected in the vault or samples. Creosote-covered wood pieces were noted
24
- - 5 - -
at the bottom of the septic vault. It is unknow how this wood entered the vault but is
assumed to be from post-FUDS activities (USACE 2017).
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) visited the Septic Vault
in 2020. A strong creosote odor was detected in the vicinity of the vault and sheen was
observed at the bottom of the vault. Based on photos collected and ADEC's observation
it was noted "it is unknown whether the bottom of the vault is solid concrete or bedrock.
At the very least, the walls of the vault are not connected to the floor" (ADEC 2020).
As witnessed by USACE staff in 2015 the bottom was solid concrete. Based on similar
construction at other FUDS, different materials are used for the bottom the walls.
Speculating with limited info, apparent disconnect of the walls with the concrete floor
could be the result of 80 years of time of freeze thaw cycles and earthquakes including
the 1964 Earthquake (USACE 2023)
Project Description
The project goals are to remove residual water from the septic vault if present, fill
the vault with polyurethane foam (PUF), and seal the existing manhole cover to prevent
area users from entering / putting stuff into the open septic vault and mitigate any
potential transport of de minimus residual contaminants within the vault to the
surrounding environment (Figures 2 to 5).
Two Aleut environmental professionals and a utility task vehicle (UTV), 16 boxes of
PUF, chicken wire, cutting tools, personal protective equipment [PPE], a water pump
and hosing, a granular activated carbon unit, a global positioning system unit, and
health and safety supplies will be mobilized to Seward for transport to Caines Head on
an Alaska Department of Natural Resources authorized commercial water taxi landing
craft (Alaska Coastal Safari LLC). The UTV and equipment/tools will be inspected for
functionality prior to mobilization. Anticipated weather conditions will be verified with the
water taxi service three days prior to mobilization to determine if conditions will be
suitable for landing craft access to North Beach.
If the seas are calm enough, the water taxi will transport all personnel and
equipment from Seward to the North Beach landing. Vehicles will be parked at the
Seward Boat Harbor for the day. The UTV and equipment/tools will be offloaded from
the landing craft onto the beach. From the North Beach landing, equipment/tools will be
transported on the Tonsina Trail to the Battery 293 area using the UTV. The UTV will be
staged on the Tonsina Trail near the former cutoff of Road No. 4 shown on the as-builts
(Appendix D). Once the septic vault is located, the field team will identify the easiest
route to transport equipment/tools from the UTV staging area to the septic vault. All
needed materials will be transported on foot from the UTV using game packs.
If all the materials cannot be transported from the beach by the UTV on the first trip,
they will be staged at the landing site above the high tide line. The 16 boxes of PUF and
chicken wire will be transported first. This will allow for inspection of the septic vault to
determine if there is water present.

adjacent wood structure. Facing east present on the east side of the vault. The
(USAGE 2020). vault cover is visible on the far right
(USACE 2020).
If removable water is present in the vault, the granular activated carbon unit and
pumps/hosing will be transported by the UTV. Any residual water in the septic vault will
be removed using a battery-powered electric pump. The water will be filtered using a
portable 5-gallon granular activated carbon unit and discharged adjacent to the vault in
a vegetated area at least 100 feet away from surface water in a manner that does not
cause erosion. After residual water is removed to the extent practicable, 1-inch chicken
wire sized to the inside vault dimensions will be placed in the vault vertically to support
the PUF as it expands upwards, serving as a binding material between PUF layers.
The Equipmentless Foam SealantTM PUF will be mixed onsite from the two foam
components causing expansion. An initial 18-inch lift from the foam expansion will be
applied. The PUF has a minimum cure time of 20 to 30 minutes but can take longer
when temperatures are cooler; therefore, the PUF will be allowed to set up until it is
tack-free. After the initial PUF layer cures, another 18-inch PUF layer will be placed in
the vault and allowed to cure. This process of layering PUF will be repeated for
approximately 5 lifts until the material reaches the top of the septic vault. While the PUF
is setting up, any metal protrusions will be removed from the vault's exterior using a
battery-powered cutting tool equipped with safety guards. If the manhole vault cover is
present onsite, it will be secured to the ring using a Sikaflex multi-purpose, fast-curing,
28

weather resistant sealant. If the vault manhole cover is not onsite, the upper few inches
of the vault opening will be filled with a fast-setting concrete.
Assessment of Effect
A review of the Alaska Heritage Resources Database (AHRS) revealed eight
recorded sites within the general project area (Table 1; Figure 6). Five of those sites are
within the Area of Potential Effect (APE) (Figure 6). The APE consists of the North
Beach Landing, the Caines Head Trail, and the immediate area surrounding the Fort
McGilvray Battery 293 (XBS-00013).

Figure 6. APE is in red and includes the North Beach Landing area, the trail to the vault, and the
Battery 293/Septic Vault.
All of the sites within the project's APE are associated with the Fort McGilvray
Historic District (SEW-01762 /XBS-00043). This includes the Fort McGilvray Battery
#293 (XBS-00013), Road No. 1 (XBS-00049), Building No. 31 — E.M. Barracks (XBS-
00067), and the North Beach Pullout Road (SEW-01765) (OHA 2023).
Both Road No. 1 (XBS-00049) and North Beach Pull Out Road (SEW-01765) are
military constructions associated with Fort McGilvray and are on the current trail system
labeled as Caines Head — Fort Trail. USACE plans on using a Utility Task Vehicle (UTV)
on the established trail to access Fort McGilvray Battery #293 (XBS-00013) which will
have no impact on the historical routes.
Building No. 31 — E.M. Barracks (XBS-00067) consists of a building depression
and debris pile that was once a Pacific Hut. While this point is projected in the AHRS as
being on the Caines Head — Fort Trail, it is likely adjacent to the trail. The depression
and debris pile will be avoided while accessing the project area.

The purpose of this project is to remove any residual water from the Septic Vault at
Fort McGilvray Battery #293 (XBS-00013), fill the vault with PUF, and seal the manhole
cover to prevent access by people using the State Park recreational area. Filling the
vault and sealing its manhole cover will not damage the septic vault structure. For
I safety, any metal protrusions will be removed from the vault's exterior using a battery-
powered cutting tool. While this is noted in the proposed undertaking's work plan,
photos from the 2020 ADEC site visit do not indicate the existence of any metal
protrusions.
Conclusion
The proposed CERCLA undertaking has the potential to impact cultural resources
within the Fort McGilvray Historic District (SEW-01762 / XBS-00043); however, USACE
believes that sealing the Fort McGilvray Battery 293 Septic Vault and potentially
removing small metal protrusions from this small concrete structure will have no
adverse effect on any AHRS sites within the APE. If you have any questions about this
project, please contact me by phone at 907-753-5799 or by email at

The finance department and the Carmen Jackson team continue to work on utility billing
issues and resolving old problems identified through internal audits of the City as well as
developing billing manuals and user guides to assist with the outsourcing process. This
includes a collection program to work on collecting old outstanding balances, which has
resulted in the first distribution from the collection agency.

The department continues to review the fiscal manual and portions of the City code with

Central Treasury Report:
The attached Central Treasury Report provides the unrestricted cash available by fund as of
August 31, 2023. These amounts fluctuate on a daily basis and are reconciled every month. The
amounts reports on the agenda statement items for the council represent the available fund
balance/net assets for the impacted funds. This is a longer term perspective that takes into
account the assets and liabilities of the fund, which results in different numbers than the Central
Treasury Report. Any funds with negative cash on the Central Treasury Report are either
waiting for funding for expenses already paid or are in the process of being closed out, negative
cash for a fund does not represent a problem with operations.
Attached with the Central Treasury Report is financial information for the funds that would be
utilized for the upcoming resolutions.

➢ Jesse Lee Home Update: We received notification back from ADEC regarding
the last sampling results. (letter and technical memo included in the August 28th
Report) They have found elevated levels of two chemicals that are above what is
allowable (Arsenic and Chromium). They require the City to do further sampling
in the surrounding areas to see what level of those chemicals "naturally" occur in
the soil along with water testing. If those chemicals have a naturally occurring
level in the area that is significant, then it may not require any more removal. If
the occurrence of those chemicals in the surrounding area is not significant, then
they are relating the elevated levels to the site contamination and additional
material removal may need to occur. We have reached out to the Engineering
group (KCI) for a quote for this further sampling that is required. We will keep
you posted on the progress and will bring any expenditures before you.
➢ We are doing prep work in anticipation of the approval of the Legislative Priorities
so that we can get the different pieces to the designer for the 2024 Guide.
➢ P&Zs next scheduled meeting is on August 4th. On the Agenda is the
UAF/CRRC Replat (which will help move the sale process along) and a CUP.
➢ The annual Municipal Lands Inventory and Use Plan review will be coming
before the commission for its first work session on September 19th
➢ We are working on several code revisions for recodification, specifically in Title
16 (Subdivisions and Utilities).
➢ The Cemetery Columbaria have been installed: 1 in the Odd Fellows portion of
the City Cemetery and 2 in the American Legion Cemetery. After the Muni Land
Plan is reviewed, the Commission will finalize the revisions for the Cemetery
Master Plan which will update processes and fees as well as add those for the
columbarium.
➢ We are continuing to work on platting pieces for the new Public Works Facility.
➢ The CUPs, both current and past, have begun to be reviewed for status and
compliance. After we go through our CUP review process P&Z will be reviewing
applicable code. Our code currently doesn't have a lot of teeth for following up
and helping with non-compliance to the CUP.
39
➢ Our long-term Temp is continuing to work on scanning and archiving for the Com
Dev, Finance, Fire, Public Works, and Electric Departments.
➢ We are continuing with our normal business of processing of records requests,
short term rental permits, replats, rezones, CUPs, and consulting regularly with
community members that have questions about the development and use of their
land and helping with applications.
GIS Report:
- Selena is currently "off' as she moves and settles in. She will be back online and
beginning her contract later in September.
- Selena is currently looking into a utility network solution where the Public Works
data and Fire Hydrants data could include water flow direction, analyses during
emergencies, etc.
- Selena is updating the Muni Land Plan's Map Atlas for this year's review —
incorporating the last-minute edits that will be reviewed later when the PZ
Commission has their annual review.
- Selena is continuing work on the zoning map audit to coincide with Courtney's
work that she did earlier for the zoning history. Most of this research is finished.
However, she did ask the Borough if they had any additional information and is
waiting to hear back from them. The mapping application is being worked on
now. A future land use layer will be started soon and will be added to the online
zoning map. The format of the zoning map printed versions will be updated after
the above tasks are finished and will be reviewed later by PZ Commission.

Sports and Recreation:
When it rains it pours! And it certainly poured on Saturday 8/26, not only with liquid from the
sky, but with the amount of folks enjoying the AVTEC gym. 185 visitors all-in-all, that enjoyed
pickleball, rock wall, a birthday parry and skate night.
Things have been busy on our end. Lots of planning and lots of exciting future events. September
is full of them. But let's look back a bit on August as we near the end. Skate nights are back and
always a fun-filled evening for kids. We've had a Back to School Skate and Autumn Skate. We
will continue with skate nights on every other Saturday.
Kid's Nights are also back and we hosted 20 kids for games of tag, dodgeball, all sorts of crafts
and a movie on 8/19. Teen Hoops has a steady group of 4 -10 players looking to hit buzzer
beating shots every Tuesday.
We've held two Dungeons and Dragons sessions. We had seven participants the first week and
four this past. The room is full of laughter and adventure on Tuesday nights if you all would like
to join on a quest.
Wednesdays are also buzzing with cribbage participants picking up,pickleball's popularity on a
sky-rocketing trajectory, and the new racquetball challenge night starting up.
And campground folks are sure thankful that the showers are open here with all the craziness of
the restrooms around town.
If you're reading this and couldn't wait to find out the results of the Drive Less Move More
Challenge, you'll have to wait one more day. Brenan has passed Danny, but they are neck in neck
and can be seen furiously biking throughout town. Who'll be our champion at the end of the day
tomorrow?
As for upcoming events, we have many and I'll remind you of them again! A second pickleball
tournament happens tonight, 8/30. Basics of Ballet Youth Dance Class, taught by Alissa
Holcomb starts this Saturday and runs every Saturday for four weeks. More Kid's Nights and
Skate nights will be happening on upcoming Saturdays. On Thursday 9/7 we'll play host to a
riveting Mario Kart Tournament. The next night we'll dance our shoes off and raise money for
the citizens of Maui affected by the wildfires with the Maui Fire Relief Danceathon as we've
partnered up Juliana Kaupu and the United Way of Maui to send some aid money.
We're looking for runners and volunteers for our first ever Zudy's Fun Run on Saturday 9/16; A
5K to celebrate the end of season and raise money for the high school cross country team. Half
of the $40 admission price will go towards the team and there will be food for sale following the
race. A big thank you to Judy at Zudy's for sponsoring the event. There's much more, but I'll end
with adult sports leagues will be starting up in October so look for advertisement and signups for
that in the upcoming days and weeks.

Electric System
Director Rob Montgomery
Ad Hoc Committee (Ongoing) — Participated in the August 21 and September 5
meetings of the electric utility ad hoc committee. On August 20, the committee chair
asked to remove Alaska Energy Authority Executive Director Curtis Thayer from the
August 21 agenda, indicating the removal couldn't be official until the ad hoc committee
voted at the beginning of the meeting. Because of the late, one-day notice and the fact
I didn't want to inconvenience Mr. Thayer by having him wait for the committee vote, I
proceeded in canceling his appearance. I continue to answer questions and provide
background on the utility and its operations as requested.
Infrastructure Project and Budget (Ongoing) — Contractor Electric Power
Constructors continues construction work at the Fort Raymond Substation. The first of
large substation transformers has been installed and the delivery of the second
transformer has been delayed until late September or October. The transformer
sustained slight damage during shipping and needed to be returned for inspection and
minor repairs.
I provided a brief infrastructure budget update to the Council at its August 28 meeting,
and crew foreman and project manager Bryan Thrall provided a brief update on the
project's construction efforts.
Hilltop Project— Seward Electric crews completed initial work on the first phase of the
Hilltop development project. Work included trenching and installing approximately 2,500
feet of conduit. Crews also installed the pads and pedestals necessary for transformers
and switches for the project. Crews also installed approximately 600 feet of conduit on
Lois Way off Old Exit Glacier for future cable installation.
2023 Rate Study (Ongoing) — The rate study being conducted by The Financial
Engineering Company continues. The rate study remains on track for a special
meeting/work session with City Council on September 11. Any increase will go into
effect January 1, 2024.

This is our status report covering activity on legal matters worked on during August 2023.
General Matters:
We updated the annual letter to the city's auditors. We advised on applications for referendum
petitions. We reviewed a petition for creation of an improvement district. We advised on requests
for public records. We reviewed and commented on revisions to Title 12. We reviewed apurchase
and sale agreement for potential sale of a city lot.
Electric Utility:
We advised on the process for intervention in the new Chugach Electric Association rate case. We
completed work on amendments to the purchase agreement with Homer Electric Association. We
reviewed a contract with HDR.
Personnel:
We continued to represent the City in a matter before the Alaska State Commission for Human
Rights, including attending a mediation. We finalized a draft drug and alcohol testing policy.
Port and Harbor
We worked on revised OBI lease amendment documents to correct minor errors in recorded
documents. We finalized a land exchange agreement with the USCG. We revised an assignment
and lease amendment to the Gateway Texaco lease. We reviewed a resolution approving
assignment of the Breeze Inn lease. We continued work on a property sale agreement with 4JBC.
We have filed suit to force removal of an abandoned vessel from city property; the owner has

Public Works
We prepared a certification letter for an ADEC loan for a pumphouse project.
You can expect to receive our next status report by October 4th.
A final note. After 40 years of lawyering in Alaska I will be retiring at the end of September - 3
days after my 68th birthday. As I count my blessings, the opportunity to have been of service to
the residents of Seward is very much included. It has been satisfying to work with Seward's
capable staff and inspiring to see firsthand both the active engagement of Seward residents in
their government and the public service of past and present council members, Mayor Terry and
Mayor McClure. Our firm has never revolved around a cult of personality. My partner Sam
Severin has been an important part of the team for over 4 years. The legal needs of Seward
remain in good hands. I wish you the best in meeting the goals of this great community.
Very truly yours,

Karen Cooper McLaughlin, inside city limits, said she worked for the Chamber of
Commerce. McLaughlin thanked the harbor staff and all the volunteers for their help with the
Silver Salmon Derby. McLaughlin summarized results from the Salmon Derby.
Kevin Dunham, outside city limits, made a correction about comments at a previous
meeting and clarified that Homer Electric owned the battery in Soldotna. Chugach Electric and
Matanuska Electric were building a battery in central Anchorage. On another topic, he was
surprised that rape kits were not available in Seward. He hoped the kits could be made available
locally.
Tim McDonald, inside city limits, said he wished the city had fully backed alternative
energy 20 years ago. Seward had a lot of potential for renewable energy. He understood the city
was no longer interested in running the utilities. McDonald hoped an energy co-op could be started

Cuno Hanson, outside city limits, said the city electric utility had been in the best shape
that it's ever been. He spoke in opposition to the ballot measures of selling the electric utility and
lowering the Charter from a three-fifths vote to a majority vote.
Mica Van Buskirk,inside city limits,requested the community recreation center be added
to the list of legislative priorities for 2024. She noted it was on PACAB's list of priorities, but not
listed on the administration's top picks. On another topic, she supported the Alaska Long Trail and
wanted a trail that connected to the Iditarod trail.
Bruce Jaffa, outside city limits,welcomed the delegation from Obihiro, Japan. He said the
PACAB Heat Loop Ad Hoc Committee had qualified for a grant for Phase 1. In regard to Action
Memorandum 2023-013, he noted PACAB had included the community recreation center on their
list of recommendations, but it was not included on administration's final list of priorities.
Hank West, outside city limits, welcomed the delegation from Obihiro, Japan. He hoped
all the citizen applications would be chosen to go.
Becky Dunn, inside city limits, said rape kits were not available in Seward and it was
difficult to travel to Kenai in order to obtain one. She hoped there could be a meeting to figure out
a solution. She noted several other Alaska communities had rape kits readily available whereas
Seward did not.
Mary Beth Koster, inside city limits, welcomed the delegation from Japan. She said her
children had participated in the exchange and it was a great experience. She hoped to be able to go
to Obihiro with the Seward delegation.

Acting City Manager Norm Regis said he would be having a meeting with Kenai
Aviation about offering commercials flights from Seward to Kenai and Seward to Anchorage.
Police Chief Alan Nickell addressed the situation in Seward concerning the rape kits.
There were two types of rape kits: a suspect kit and a victim kit. The victim kit required a
specifically trained nurse. Seward had not been able to retain the certified nurses.
Acting Utility General Manager Rob Montgomery provided a brief update on the
infrastructure project. There had been 12.9 million dollars committed through resolutions and
purchase orders. In 2024,the city was expecting to spend another 1.5 million to complete the work
on Lawing Substation near Moose Pass. That would put the budget around 14.5 million which
included all of Nash Road and would finish the Fort Raymond and Lawing Substations. He
introduced project manager Bryan Thrall to give an update.
Electric Department Project Manager Bryan Thrall said the projects were being
completed on schedule and the upgrades should last a very long time. Thrall provided detailed

Regis summarized the lease and recommended approval.
Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the
public hearing was opened.
Colby Lawrence, outside city limits, said he was involved in this new venture. The Breeze
Inn had a great history in Seward. Lawrence had no plans to change the operation. He wanted to
see the Breeze Inn be utilized by both tourists and locals alike. Lawrence noted they were going
to keep the Breeze Inn open year-round.
Callie Bacon, inside city limits, said she was a broker at Seward Properties and was
speaking on behalf of Juris Mindenbergs. She spoke in support of approving the lease. There had
been multiple offers, but the only offer that met the Mindenbergs needs was from the current
buyers.
Hank West, outside city limits, said he was a current employee of the Breeze Inn and
supported the approval of this lease agreement.
Tim Scheurer, outside city limits, supported the approval of this lease agreement.
Tim McDonald, inside city limits, said the Breeze Inn was an icon of Seward and he

before council.

Wells made a general comment that the city should include a caveat that leases would not
be transferred to any individual that had been convicted of a violent crime. Regis said the terms of
this particular lease had already been agreed upon, but he would take that into consideration for
future leases.
Barnwell noted that it was a relief there were no code violations with these buyers. He said
the Breeze Inn staff was all excited about the lease agreement.
McClure said this lease transfer was a very positive thing for Seward.
Finch said he supported the lease transfer.

Motion (Wells/Finch) Approve Resolution 2023-098
Regis said the U.S. Coast Guard would buy the land outright across the bay at SMIC. The
building on this side of the bay would belong to the City of Seward. The land, however, was
separate and the money would come from two different government agencies. The land lease was
paid by one and the building lease was paid by another.

Bruce Jaffa, outside city limits, said this was a long time coming and he thanked Regis
for bringing the U.S. Coast Guard to Seward. He noted that selling land rather than leasing it was
unique. Jaffa supported the approval of Resolution 2023-098.
No one else appeared and the public hearing was closed.
Finch liked the idea of the USCG purchasing the land instead of leasing it.

Motion (Already on the floor) Approve Resolution 2022-096
Regis said this was a preliminary replat and this was just the very beginning of the process.
It was not final a land sale.
Community Development Director Jason Bickling said that Planning & Zoning had
approved this preliminary replat. There had been stipulations, such a hydrant, utilities and a
pathway,that been added and removed as this replat had gone though various stages.
Council suspended the rules at 8:32 p.m. to allow Joy Vaughn from Department of Transportation
to speak for the Seward Airport Project.
Department of Transportation Project Manager Joy Vaughn said she was here to answer
previous questions from October 2022. She addressed the question if the project would be able
move forward without the tidelands parcel. She said the tidelands parcel was needed for the runway
protection zone and southern aircraft approach to avoid ship obstructions. The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) wanted the airport to own the tidelands for this project. Vaughn said the
State of Alaska wanted to maintain the airport and needed FAA funding of 96% Without FAA
assistance they could not fix the existing runways.
Barnwell asked about the possibility of the wetlands being filled in. Vaughn said there was
nothing planned to be built in the wetlands. Barnwell asked if the long runway could be saved
from the flooding of the Resurrection River. Vaughn said she did not think that would be possible.
58
City of Seward,Alaska City Council Meeting Minutes
August 28, 2023 Volume 42, Page
Barnwell asked if FAA limited the size of Seward runway. Vaughn responded that the FAA
would downsize the runway if not for Kenai Aviation expressing interest in the runway. Barnwell
asked about fencing around the airport. Vaughn said the current plan was to have fencing to the
north side and west side. Vaughn said FAA did not allow legal public access to the beach.
Council went back on the rules at 8:43 p.m.
Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required by law was noted and the
public hearing was opened.
Shauna Potocky, inside city limits, wanted to the resolution to be postponed until there
was a full city council and the new city manager was in place.For the past several months,Potocky
had wanted to give a presentation to city council with ideas for the airport. She asked the council
to consider her 10-minute presentation at a future date. In addition, she wanted to thank city staff
Shannon Thorn, Kris Peck and Jason Bickling for their professionalism and service to the
community.
Bruce Jaffa, outside city limits, said he was a former member of the Seward Airport Ad
Hoc Committee, and they had been opposed to DOT's action at the airport. Jaffa was excited to
hear of other possible options for the airport. During his travels to Japan, Jaffa had seen similar
wild rivers that had been corralled. Jaffa urged council not to forget how DOT had taken advantage
of Seward. The passing of this resolution must not be construed as support of DOT tactics.
Tim McDonald, inside city limits, said bigger jets would negatively impact the quality of
life here. He thought another access road from Port Avenue to the Iditarod Trail would be a good
idea. For quality of life, residents need public access to the beaches. He agreed that the
Resurrection River could be contained along the long runway. The wetlands area was a big
stopover for migratory birds in the spring and fall.
Carol Griswold,inside city limits, said the parcels had not been updated to reflect current
standards. Parcel 5 included a significant fiber optic cable lease. The lease map showed the cable
went right through Parcel 5. She questioned if the city would be willing to sell this property and
lose that lease income. The relocation of the runway would destroy the wetlands and habitat for
the Arctic Terns and salmon. The overall plan was an environmental disaster. The increased air
traffic would decrease the quality of life for residents. As noted in numerous public hearings,DOT
had refused to work with other agencies. The preliminary plat was still not ready for approval.
Becky Dunn, inside city limits, echoed the previous comments and urged council not to
approve this resolution.
No one else appeared and the public hearing was closed.
Wells asked administration to address the citizen comments.
Bickling said the Parcel 5 fiber optic cable issue would be something that would need to
be resolved in the future.

McClure asked what the commitment would be if this resolution was passed tonight. Regis
said it was a preliminary replat and it would be the first step to opening discussions. McClure
noted a yes vote would send it to the Kenai Peninsula Brough Planning Commission. Eventually
it would come back to council.
Wells said he appreciated all the citizen comments. He knew citizens wanted to be part of
the discussion and approving this preliminary replat would allow that discussion.

Sowell said administration was looking for council's list of legislative priorities as well as
3-5 items for the CDS. Sowell wanted council to add or subtract items to this Action Memorandum.
Sowell noted PACAB included the community recreation center on their list. Administration put
together a list independently that did not include the recreation center.
McClure asked if they could postpone this item for a full council to provide input. Sowell
said finalizing the list by 9/11 would be fine. McClure said having at least five council members
would be ideal to discuss this item.

CITIZEN COMMENTS
Tim McDonald, inside city limits, said real energy security came from making energy
within Seward. He encouraged everyone to look to the future of energy.
Bruce Jaffa, outside city limits,pledged his support of the incoming city manager. In that
regard, he was very upbeat on the future. He recalled his experience working with nuclear power.
There was an interesting potential with nuclear energy, but he didn't think it was a city council
issue.

Kat Sorensen, inside city limits, thanked the Obihiro delegation for visiting. She thanked
the Clerk's Office and Chamber of Commerce for their help organizing. Sorensen reminded
everyone the deadline for registering to vote was coming up in September 3, 2023.
Becky Dunn,inside city limits,wanted to know what was needed to get the equipment and
certified nurses to do the rape kits in Seward. She hoped for collaboration with local organizations,
clinics and law enforcement. She wanted a real discussion to take place to find a solution.
COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION COMMENTS & RESPONSE TO CITIZEN
COMMENTS
Regis said tomorrow would be a city infrastructure tour for the Obihiro delegation. He
congratulated the Seward citizens going to Obihiro, Japan.
Barnwell noted this was Sowell's last council meeting and thanked him for his service. He
thanked Electric Department for their presentation. He thanked the Clerk's Office and Chamber of
Commerce for their work on the Obihiro exchange. He was really excited for the Seward
delegation of 15 people who would be traveling to Obihiro.
Wells said Sowell would be greatly missed and wished him well in his future endeavors.
Wells noted Homer Electric Association was a co-op and Wells was in favor of co-ops. He agreed
the government sector needed to get out of the way of the private sector. Wells wanted the city to
sell the utility to an entity where Seward had a voice. Chugach did not reveal that the seats on the
board would cost millions of dollars. HEA would offer Seward a seat on the board without any
outside money being spent to push corporate ambitions.
Finch echoed previous comments. He thanked Sowell for his service. He congratulated the
Breeze Inn staff on the lease transfer.Wells said he took the Obihiro delegation out to the shooting
range and was amazed by their enthusiasm.
McClure said Sowell would be missed as the Assistant City Manager. McClure said she
had fun visiting with the delegation from Obihiro. She wanted to point out that citizens can make
presentations at a council meeting and there were two 10-minute slots available at each meeting.
On a sad note,McClure announced that her dear friend Lee Poleske had passed away. There would
be a celebration life on Thursday, September 14 at 7:00 p.m. at the Seward Community Library &
Museum.

Subject: Resolution 2023-102: Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into
A Contract With HDR Engineering, Inc., In An Amount Not To
Exceed $56,300 To Complete and Submit The Application And
Related Materials Needed To Renew The U.S. Forestry Service's
50-Year, Special-Use Permit, And Appropriating Funds
Background and justification
The U.S. Forestry Service requires electric and communications utilities to keep a special-use permit that
allows the utilities to maintain,operate and construct facilities within the rights-of-way located on forestry
owned land. For Seward Electric System (SES), the permit will cover transmission line corridors along
Forest Service land between the Dave's Creek Substation near Cooper Landing and into Seward.
SES reached out to industry contacts seeking recommendations for getting this work completed with no
success.The Forestry Service later referred SES to HDR Engineering,knowing HDR had completed similar
work for Forestry Services permits previously.
As part of its work, HDR Engineering will review existing permits, amendments, as-builts, access points,
available operations and maintenance plans, and other related materials necessary for the permit
applications. Considerable hours will also be spent utilizing GIS software to map and digitize transmission
line rights-of-way and rights-of-way access points to support the permit application.
Following are the schedule and deliverables from HDR Engineering (ENGINEER):
• The ENGINEER will ATTEND A VIRTUAL PROJECT KICK-OFF MEETING WITH THE
OWNER to review existing information(e.g.,permits, spatial files, and operations/maintenance
plan.
• The ENGINEER will coordinate with the Forest Service prior to request existing permit files and
confirm use of the SF299 form for this project and the level of effort necessary for the application
and supporting documentation(e.g., Operations and Maintenance Plan; Vegetation Management
Plan).
• The ENGINEER will digitize transmission line centerline,ROW, structure locations, and access
points for use in spatial platforms(e.g., GIS, CAD) and to support permit application package.
• The ENGINEER will submit a Draft Operations and Maintenance Plan to the OWNER within 60
days of the Notice to Proceed.
• The ENGINEER will submit a revised Operations and Maintenance Plan to the OWNER within
two weeks after receipt of OWNER'S comments.
• The ENGINEER will submit a Draft Vegetation Management Plan to the OWNER within 60
days of the Notice to Proceed.
63
• The ENGINEER will submit a revised Vegetation Management Plan to the OWNER within 60
days of the Notice to Proceed.
• The ENGINEER will submit a Draft Special Use Permit Application Package to the OWNER
within 60 days of the Notice to Proceed.
• The ENGINEER will submit a revised Special Use Permit Application Package to the OWNER
within two weeks after receipt of OWNER's comments.
• The ENGINEER will submit a revised Final Special Use Permit Application Package to the
OWNER and the Forest Service within one week of receipt of OWNER's comments.
• The ENGINEER will coordinate with the Forest Service after submittal.
This agreement with HDR Engineering calls for a completion of its work and filing of the permit application
no later than July 2024.

EXHIBIT A
TASK ORDER 1
This Task Order pertains to an Agreement("the Agreement")by and between The City of Seward
("OWNER"),and HDR Engineering, Inc.("ENGINEER"),dated August 29,2023. The
ENGINEER shall perform services on the project described belo« as provided herein and in the
Agreement. This Task Order shall not be binding until it has been properly signed by both parties.
Upon execution,this Task Order shall supplement the Agreement as it pertains to the project
described below.
TASK ORDER NUMBER: Task Order 1
PROJECT NAME: City of Seward Transmission Line—U.S. Forest Service Special Use Right-
of-Way Permit Renewal
PART 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The U.S. Forest Service issued a Special Use Permit in 1955 that granted the OWNER a right-of-
way(ROW)approximately 52 miles long and 60-foot-wide to construct, operate,and maintain a
3-phase 7.2/12.4 kilovolt(kV)electrical distribution line and a 69 kV transmission line. Records
indicate that the Forest Service has since authorized multiple amendments to this permit.
Amendment#5, issued in 1960, amended the permit area as 30-feet on either side of the power
line for 20.5 miles and Amendment#6, issued in 1977, included an adjustment to the ROW due
to a necessary realignment of the transmission line near mile 21 of the Seward Highway.
The OWNER, in coordination with the Forest Service,has determined that the existing Special
Use Permit for the ROW has expired and needs to be rene\\ed. The section below describes the
ENGINEER's proposed scope of services. \�hich includes developing an application to request
the Forest Service renew the Special Use Permit for the OWNER's transmission line that extends
between the Dave's Creek Substation and Sc\\ard.
PART 2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED BY ENGINEER ON THE
PROJECT:
The ENGINEER will provide professional services for the tasks outlined below.
Task 1.Develop Application to Renew Forest Service-Issued Special Use Permit
The ENGINEER will develop an `application fin-11-c117sporl(Ition, rr/ilit,v.�a.�irn�.c,
telecommunications and facilities on federal lands and property' using Standard form(SF299)to
request a 50-year permit renewal for continued operations and maintenance within portions of the
ROW that cross Forest Service lands.
As part of this effort,the ENGINEER will review existing permits, amendments,as-builts, access
points, available operations and maintenance plans,and other related materials necessary for the
permit application. The ENGINEER will digitize the transmission line, ROW, and access points,
based on available data sources,for use in maps to support the permit application if the OWNER
and/or Forest Service do not have those spatial data available. The ENGINEER assumes the
approximate boundaries developed during this spatial desktop effort will satisfy permit
requirements and therefore does not include costs associated with a land-based survey. Additional
scope and budget would be necessary if formal surveys are required.

Background and justification
The Seward City Council is required to pass a resolution listing the individuals authorized to invest
monies and/or sign banking documents on behalf of the City of Seward. The recent onboarding of
new City Manager and the resignation of the Assistant City Manager provides the need to update
this authorization. This action forms the basis upon which signature cards will be updated at the
local banking institutions, and checks and City payments and investments will be authorized on
behalf of the City.
While each individual listed on the resolution is authorized to act on behalf of the City, the City's
practice is to have two separate individuals authorize every investment, approve all City payments,
and authorize all electronic banking transactions.

Donation To The City Of Seward From The Boys And Girls Club
Background and justification
When the Boys and Girls Club began operation of the "Teen Youth Center" in 2019, the City
donated a 2009 Ford Econoline van to the Boys and Girls Club for the purposes of transporting
program participants. Since that time, Boys and Girls Club has not utilized the van, and has
expressed a willingness to return the vehicle to Parks and Recreation to utilize for their program
participants. See the attached email correspondence between Seward Parks and Recreation
Director Melanie Hauze and Boys and Girls Club Director Rebecca Swartz. As the City of Seward
Parks and Recreation Sports programming expands,having access to a van capable of transporting
staff and participants effectively will be of increasing value.If approved,this legislation will accept
the vehicle back onto our books. The van has 22,353 miles on it currently. VIN 9

It is a 2009 Ford Econoline E350 passenger van with 22,353.4 miles. The VIN is 1FBSS31L390A69028.
Vehicle was previously owed by the City of Seward. The Teen and Youth Center utilized this vehicle
to transport youth to various off site activities. On February 1, 2020 an MOA was entered between
Seward Parks and Recreation and the Boys Girls Club. One of the obligations was to donate a van to
the B&GC to be used for the transport of program participants. To my knowledge the van has not
been utilized by the B&GC. In July we reached out to the Director Rebecca Swartz asking if they were
interested releasing ownership back to the City. She discussed with management in Kenai and they
all agreed to release ownership of the White (KT) van back to the City.
Sports and Recreation is expanding youth programs. Acquiring this van back would be extremely
helpful for transportation to activities. Will also serve a purpose hauling supplies to special events.

Mel,
The Resolution approved the contact. If Boys and Girls Club want to"give"the City the van,
that doesn't need a resolution. We just need to go through the usual title transfer. Sully should
be able to help with that. The email seems like Boys and Girls Club is fine with it, but they
will need to sign the bill of sale.

Just following up about the possibility of using the old City van. The Clerks reached out to us as they
95
are needing to transport Obihiro representatives on July 29th and again on August 25th. you
mentioned there are some issues with the van and that it doesn't get used much and so I'm also
wondering if you'd be interested in releasing ownership back to the City. I'm cc'ing the new Director

APPENDIX CNN
REPAIRS TO BUILDING AND STRUCTURES DAMAGED BY THE OCCURRENCE OF A
NATURAL DISASTER
CNN 101 Purpose. The purpose of this appendix is to provide a defined level of repair for
buildings or structures damaged by a natural disaster in jurisdictions where the governor has
declared a formal condition of disaster emergency under AS 26.23 by proclamation.
CNN 102 General. Required repair levels must be based on the ratio of the estimated value of the
repairs required to restore the structural members to their pre-disaster condition to the estimated
replacement value of the building or structure.
CNN 103 Structural repairs. When the ratio described in Section CNN 102 does not exceed 10
percent, as determined by design professionals who are professional architects or professional
engineers who meet the requirements of AS 08.48 buildings and other structures, except essential
122
CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
ORDINANCE 2023-020
facilities included as Category III buildings and structures in Table 1604.5 of this code, must, at a
minimum, be restored to their pre-disaster condition. When the ratio described in Section K-NN
102 is greater than 10 percent but less than 50 percent, buildings and structures, except essential
facilities included as Category III buildings and structures in Table 1604.5 of this code, must have
the damaged structural members, including all critical ties and connections associated with the
damaged structural members, all structural members supported by the damaged member, and all
structural members supporting the damaged members repaired and strengthened to bring them into
compliance with the force levels and connection requirements of this code. These requirements
apply to those essential facilities when the ratio described in Section K-NN 102 is less than 30
percent.
Exception: For buildings or structures with rigid diaphragms where the above-required repair and
strengthening increases the rigidity of the resisting members, the entire lateral force-resisting
system of the building or structure must be investigated.
When, in the opinion of the building official, an unsafe or adverse condition has been created as a
result of the increase in rigidity, the condition must be corrected. When the ratio described in
Section K-NN 102 is greater than 50 percent, buildings and other structures, except essential
facilities included as Category III buildings and structures in Table 1604.5 of this code, must, at a
minimum, have the entire building or structure strengthened to comply with the force level and
connection requirements of this code. These requirements apply to essential facilities when the
ratio described in Section K-NN 102 is greater that or equal to 30 percent.
K-NN 104 Nonstructural repairs to light fixtures and suspended ceilings.Under all ratios calculated
under CNN 102,when light fixtures and the suspension systems of a suspended acoustical ceiling
are damaged,the damaged light fixtures and suspension systems must be repaired to fully comply
with the requirements of Section 803.9-."of this code. Undamaged light fixtures and suspension
systems must have the additional support and bracing that is required in Section 803.E 10 of this
code.";
" 85 Appendix of the I.B.C. is revised by adding a new APPENDIX PAL as follows:
APPENDIX LPA
OIL AND GAS INDUSTRIAL PROCESSING BUILDINGS
PAL101 General. These provisions have been established to provide engineering methods for the
design and construction of Hydrocarbon Processing Buildings in this state.
L 102 Scope. These standards supersede the respective requirements of the codes as adopted in
SCC 12.05 . , inter-national Meehanieal Code
. , as the
minimum requirements for occupancies when designing and constructing hydrocarbon buildings
in this state.
L 102.2 Small unoccupied structures, shelters, and enclosures, such as a wellhead shelter(any item
that is put over the top of the wellhead that totally encloses the wellhead), communications shelters
(unoccupied buildings with no hazardous vapors,gases, or products open to the atmosphere within
123
CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
ORDINANCE 2023-020
the structure and that is utilized solely for the housing of wires and their components), meter
building, and shut-down valve enclosures may be classified as a Group U occupancy if the
following conditions are met:
1 The building is less than 1,000 square feet;
2 The contents of the building include only meters, valves, or pipe work;
3 The building is not normally occupied more than once during a 12-hour period; and
4 If the building exceeds 250 square feet, the building has at least two exits.
PA-L103 Basic allowable module size, height, and separation. The basic allowable module size,
height, and separation for Hydrocarbon Processing Buildings must comply with Appendix L103.1
- L103.3 of this Code.
PA-L103.1 Area and height. The maximum allowable floor area for Hydrocarbon Processing
Buildings using a minimum of Type IIB construction is 10,000 square feet and the building may
only be one story. The maximum allowable height shall be 65 feet; the reference datum shall be
the top of the first floor framing system. Penthouse and roof structures are permitted to extend
above the 65 foot height limit to meet special requirements, including aerial coolers, towers, and
tower enclosures. Allowable area and building height increases permitted by Sections 504 and 506
of the I.B.C. do not apply.
PA-L103.1.1 Service area platforms. An elevated platform or series of platforms of Hydrocarbon
Processing Buildings may not be classified as a floor or mezzanine within a building, and are not
subject to the requirements of Section 505 of the I.B.C. Access and egress requirements for service
area platforms must be served by at least two exits per level,with one being directly to an exterior
stair. Platforms must be constructed of grating-type material so that the main floor level below is
visible through the platform. Upper service area platforms must be kept to the minimum size that
is necessary to accomplish occasional service, operating duties, and safe egress. Virtual wall-to-
wall grating on upper levels is considered a story and must be included in floor area calculations.
PA-L103.2 Module separation. Hydrocarbon processing buildings must comply with the provisions
of Section 501.2 as amended by this code and Sections 704 and 721.6.2.3 of the I.B.C., for all
occupancies. Elevated pipe ways extending from a building may not be considered "extensions"
of the building.
PA-L103.2.1 Building extensions and service area platforms. Building extensions of Hydrocarbon
Processing Buildings into the yard, include landings, platforms, stairs, vessels, vessel enclosures,
tanks, and exhaust or intake hoods. Clear and unobstructed access for fire fighting is to be no less
than 40 feet. Bridging between buildings must be designed to allow access and operation for
firefighting.
PA-h104 Stairs,landings,handrails, and guardrails. Stairs,landings,handrails, and guardrails must
meet the minimum requirements of 8 AAC 61, as amended as of March 9, 2001
fFom time to time; these regulations supersede the respective requirements of the I.B.C.
PA-L104.1 Floor level at doors. Floors or landings may be more than one inch lower than the
threshold of doorways if an attempt is made to minimize the drop through the use of ramps at
interior doorways as described in Section 1008.3.1.6 of the I.B.C.
PA-L105 Construction specifics. The construction of Hydrocarbon Processing Buildings must
comply with Appendix L105.1 - L105.4 of this Code.
124
CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
ORDINANCE 2023-020
PA-L105.1 Fire walls. When a fire wall is used to qualify under Section 705 of the I.B.C.,the wall
must comply with that section. If the fire wall does not extend to the ground,the structural supports
for the wall must rest upon, and be completely supported by the pilings.
PA-L105.2 Tank support fireproofing. Fire proofing requirements for steel tank supports, as
described in Section 3404.2.9.1.3 of the I.F.C. (2006 Edition) as adopted by reference, may be
waived by the building official when justified, based on the remoteness of the facility and lack of
public access, or analytical or empirical results indicating that sufficient heat could be transmitted
to the permafrost to cause foundation settlement.
PA-L105.3 Foam plastic insulated building panels. For hydrocarbon processing buildings used in
the actual processing of hydrocarbons and, not normally used in other mineral extraction or
manufacturing activities,foam plastic insulated building panels used on these buildings shall apply
a foam plastic insulated building panel with a thermal barrier with an index of 15. Factory Mutual
approval Standard 4880 or Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Subject 1040 are acceptable tests for the
purposes of approval under Section 2603.4 of the I.B.C.
PA-L105.4 Electrical or communication equipment shelters and wellhead shelters. Thermal barrier
requirements as described in Section 2603.4 of the I.B.C. are not required for fiberglass or metal
sheeting used for construction of electrical or communication equipment shelters and wellhead
shelters if the following conditions are met:
1 Foam used must meet the requirements described in Section 2603.3 of the I.B.C.;
2 The area of an individual shelter may not exceed 1,000 square feet;
3 Separation between individual shelters must be a minimum of six feet;
4 Each wellhead shelter shall only enclose one wellhead;
5 The electrical or communication shelter or wellhead shelter must normally be
unoccupied. It is understood that operators need to spend approximately 10 minutes per
day taking readings in wellhead shelters and that maintenance is infrequently required.
The most extensive maintenance is well wireline work. This work may extend to a week
per well and occur once every several year per well. Most of this work is accomplished
from outside the wellhead shelter. All maintenance is strictly controlled with a permit
system;
6 The electrical or communication shelters designed with workstations in the facility do
not qualify for this modification.
PA-L106 Fire suppression. The provisions in Sections L106.1 - L106.3 establish the standards for
fire suppression at Oil and Gas Hydrocarbon Processing Buildings.
PA-L106.1 Alternate Automatic Fire-Extinguishing (AAFE) system automatic activation for gas
detection.In areas of Hydrocarbon Processing Buildings where(1)both fire and explosion hazards
exist, (2) both fire and gas detection systems are installed, (3) the fire and gas detection devices
alarm at a continuously staffed control room and trained operators can quickly respond to the fire
and gas alarms following specific fire and gas alarm response procedures, and (4) collateral fire
damage is likely to be minimal, the following (AAFE) operating activation mode is acceptable:
Automatic activation of the (AAFE) system upon gas detection coupled with manual activation of
the same (AAFE) system on fire detection.
125
CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
ORDINANCE 2023-020
PA-L106.2 Manual activation of total flooding fire suppression systems. In areas where (1) the
only hazard is fire, not explosion, (2) fire detection devices alarm at continuously staffed control
rooms, (3) trained operators can quickly respond to the fire alarms following specific fire alarm
response procedures, and (4) collateral fire damage is likely to be minimal, manual activation of
the total flooding fire suppression agent is acceptable. These areas also include continuously
staffed control rooms.
PA-L106.3 Platform width. In buildings protected with fire sprinkler systems, any platform that
exceeds four feet in width or length is considered an obstruction for the purposes of the installation
of sprinkler systems under Section 903.3.1.1 of the I.B.C.".

parcel owned by the City of Seward. Thus, we invoke a hypothetical
condition that the appraised 1.40± acres is legally separated and
developable to its highest and best use. The purpose of the appraisal is
to assist the City of Seward with selling the subject property to Seward
City Tours; however, the City of Seward is the only intended user of
this Appraisal Report. The report is intended to comply with the
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

Chapter 2: Seward Area and Market Summary
Overview We present a summary analysis of factors that define the socio-
economic factors defining the Seward economy and real estate market.
The map below depicts Seward location within Southcentral Alaska.
Seward is located at the head of Resurrection Bay, on the southeast side
of the Kenai Peninsula. It lies 70 air miles south of Anchorage or 126
miles via the Seward Highway. Seward has an ice-free port with year-
round access to the Alaska Railroad.

Population Within city limits, Seward's 2020 Census population was 2,717 and
2021 population estimate was 2,603,representing stability over the past
decade. Community growth areas are principally rural residential
neighborhoods to the north outside city boundaries. According to the
State of Alaska Division of Community and Regional Affairs (DCRA),
a table containing Seward's historic population follows.
2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012

The actual contributory population to the Seward economy is 4,700±
residents with the inclusion of rural residential districts located outside
of city boundaries. Moreover, the seasonal population swells to nearly
6,000± during the prime summer months.
Seward Employment Seward employment is gradually shifting from trades and fishing to
leisure, hospitality, and government. Although Seward employment is
projected to increase, we anticipate unemployment to remain above the
statewide rate due to the seasonal character of the economy. Because
of high demand for seasonal employment,part of the work force resides
outside of the Seward residential sphere.

Seward Economic Ice-free deep-water port facilities integrated with road and rail service
Sectors to interior Alaska drive the Seward economy. The port is home to a
commercial fishing fleet, and is the impetus for thriving tourism and
recreation. These latter economic sectors have enhanced retail and
service industries as well as increased demand for petroleum products.

Diversification of the Seward economy has been a central theme of city
management, planning, and infrastructure development over the past
few decades. Examples of economic diversification include expansion
of the Small Boat Harbor, Alaska Vocational and Technical Center
(AVTEC), Aurora Energy Services Coal Terminal (not operating), and
the Spring Creek Correctional Facility. Furthermore, construction of a
breakwater to protect Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC) from
prevailing weather and seas will improve the economic viability as a
market alternative for shipbuilding and repair.
Evolving economic diversification is a stabilizing influence and cause
to enhance growth opportunities for corollary industries. Despite the
seasonal character of the Seward economy, government, natural
resources, health care, and transportation sectors contribute year-round
employment. A summary analysis of the primary components of the
Seward economy follows.
Tourism: Tourism has continued to be a strong economic sector of the
Seward Economy since the recovery from the national recession. Over
the five-year period from 2014 to 2018, the City of Seward reported a
17%increase in sales tax revenue, and a 3 1%increase in hotel/motel tax
over the same period, with 2019 figures anticipated to grow further.
New hotel construction in 2020 has the potential to further increase
revenues in future seasons. Cruise ship port calls increased from year
to year since 2013 (50 ships) to 2016 (67 ships) to 2019 (87 ships and
95 days with cruise ships in port). Consequently, Seward cruise ship
visitation increased by 84 percent over the same period, with 125,000±
passengers in 2013 to 230,000± passengers estimated in 2019.3 The
2013 figures represent an average passenger/ship ratio of 2,500
passengers,while 2019 figures indicate 2,640 passengers. The increase
is due to not only fuller ships, but also the industry replacing medium-
sized cruise ships with larger cruise ships. Conversely, expedition style
trips with 100 to 200 passengers are becoming increasingly common.
These ships,while lowering the passenger/ship average,offer exclusive,
high-cost ecotrips. As this trend continues, passenger volume should
continue to increase over the long term,with exception to the substantial
decline experienced for 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
According to the Cruise Line Agencies of Alaska Calendar, 76 cruise
ship dockings are planned for the Summer 2022 season.
PortActivity:As an industrial port, Seward has not reached the potential
that was invested in port infrastructure. However, over the past several
years, SMIC has benefited from increased demand for lease property.

MacSwain Associates LLC
Companies that commenced leases in SMIC in 2013 and 2014 include
Raibow Fiberglass and Boat Repair and Vigor Alaska. Raibow
continued to expand their lease footprint, entering into new leases in
2016 and 2019. JAG Alaska, Inc. became the new operator at the
Seward shipyard after Vigor announced its withdrawal. Additional new
lessees in SMIC include SEWMAR, LLC and Hamilton Construction.
Established marine industrial uses that enhance economic productivity
include bulk fuel storage, ship repair and dry-dock, and fish processing.
The US Coast Guard has expressed interest in commencing land leases
in SMIC,however no official commitments have been made as of early
2021. SMIC recently completed a new $27M± rubble mound
breakwater, intended to improve protection and enable moorage of
larger ships, with a new dock rounding out recent SMIC construction.
Construction: A summary of construction projects that had a
measurable effect on the Seward economy include:
4 $30 million Seward Long-Term Care Facility (LTCF) in 2010
4 16,300± square foot, $5 million± Seward Community Library
and Museum in 2012
$13 million student housing complex for Alaska Vocational
Technical Center in 2014
4 Conversion of the 13,500± square foot former Elks Lodge into a
brewery/restaurant in 2013
New 80±room hotel on the corner of 4th Avenue and Van Buren
Street
4 19,000± square foot special-use marine industrial building
located north of the Seward Small Boat Harbor
Real Estate Market We anticipate the Seward real estate market to remain stable over the
Summary medium and long-term with upward trending prices for properties with
high demand and limited supply. Importantly,the real estate market has
a direct link to the health of Seward's economic sectors. For example,
increases in tourism and recreation cause greater demand for properties
that can accommodate cruise ships. These market dynamics will cause
upward price pressure. Short-term uncertainty existed throughout the
Summer 2021 tourist season; however, many expect a return to
normalcy for Summer 2022 as COVID-19-related worries subside.
Offsetting this optimism is rising fuel prices, which could dampen
demand. Moreover, an employee shortage has prevented many
businesses, primarily restaurants, from operating at full capacity and
taking advantage of the return of tourism, as hesitancy to travel has
diminished.

While the neighborhood is mixed-use in character and includes a
multitude of zoning designations, the majority of land along the Seward
Highway is zoned Auto Commercial (AC), a highly regarded zoning
designation affording a wide range of uses including office, personal
services, retail and residential support which do not detract from
residential areas. However,the subject is within the Institutional Zoning
District, intended for public and private educational, administrative,
government and health care uses, including public land reserve for
future development.
Summary In summary, with tourism industry as the economic focal point,
Seward's outlook is promising. The subject neighborhood is just north
of the Seward Small Boat Harbor and benefits from its frontage on the
Seward Highway. Based on these factors, the outlook for the subject
neighborhood is positive.

Chapter 5: Highest and Best Use Analysis
Overview The parcel is located within the City of Seward, subject to zoning
regulations. Zoning is INS, Institutional. According to the City of
Seward Zoning Code, this designation was:
Intended for public and private educational, administrative,
government and health care uses, including public land reserve
for future development. The development standards are
intended to set a high standard to assure that the activities
provide visual amenity to the surrounding area.
Within the Institutional District, a variety of commercially-related uses
are permitted, such as medical clinics, offices, governmental and
quasigovernment administrative developments. Additional commercial
uses require conditional use or administrative permits. Industrial uses
allowed with conditional use permits include storage and distribution
warehousing and industrial cargo uses. Other permitted uses include
parking lots, recycling, schools, passenger dock, emergency services,
library, dorm-style housing, museum, impound lot, and utility facility.
After analysis, zoning limits the scope of physically possible uses.
Essentially, the intent of the zoning district does not accommodate
purely commercially-motivated uses,but rather those that serve a public
purpose in conjunction with a profitable use.
The appraised parcel contains 60,984± square feet or 1.40± acres, and
benefits from 206± feet of frontage on the Seward Highway, but lacks
direct access. Instead, access is from the north and west boundaries on
secondary streets. The property is generally level with a gentle slope,
and near access grade. There has been some clearing, but the majority
of the property is in a raw state and heavily vegetated. Public water,
sewer, electricity, and telephone are available. Surrounding
development varies; however, commercial development is evident on
parcels fronting the west side of the Seward Highway. The adjacent
property to the south is being developed for a medical clinic. The
location one mile north of the Small Boat Harbor coupled with highway
frontage encourages commercial development, however zoning limits
the scale and type of development permitted.
Determining the specific land use alternative that maximizes
productivity is a difficult analytical task. Based on highway frontage,
relative proximity to the Seward Small Boat Harbor and other
commercial areas, commercial development is considered financially
feasible. Thus, commercial development consistent with Institutional

zoning restrictions is the highest and best use of the property, as vacant.
The most probable buyer is an owner-user.

Chapter 6: Land Valuation - Sales Comparison Approach
Overview The sales comparison approach is a systematic procedure of estimating
the subject's market value by comparing it directly to property sales
afforded similar physical and economic character. The approach is
founded on the principle of substitution, theorizing value is a function
of a knowledgeable investor's (buyer) intent to pay no more for a
specific property than the cost of acquiring an alternative property
offering similar utility (economic satisfaction). The sales comparison
approach is the best approach for valuing vacant land.
Comparative Market Our sales search focused on vacant land with similar zoning, physical,
Analysis and economic character to the subject, located in the immediate
neighborhood. This search criteria produced a paucity of sale data,
compelling us to expand our search to alternatives locations with
varying zoning designations. This search produced four closed
transactions that transpired in from 2017 to 2021. Of these, three
transactions are land sales and one transaction is a land lease on ARRC
land. We also analyzed a pending sale of the adjacent property to the
south. The primary land transactions we relied upon are listed in the
table below. Additional details of the comparables are retained on file.

Elements of The elements of comparison that have the greatest influence on market
Comparison behavior and the price paid for similar land in Seward is market
conditions, location, zoning, and physical character, including
clearing/grading, frontage/access, and size. We use a qualitative
comparison technique that rates elements of comparison as superior,
inferior, or similar.

Pending Land Sale 1
Pending Land Sale 1 is the August 2021 pending sale of a property just
southwest of the subject fronting the Seward Highway. The irregular-
shaped parcel contains 3.31±acres or 144,184±square feet. At the time
0 FIF of the purchase agreement, the property was a portion of a larger 11-
�. acre parcel. Thus the pending sale requires a replat prior to closing. The

AC, Auto Commercial. The property has direct highway access and
benefits from 448± feet of frontage. It was previously used as the US
Air Force Recreation Center and is primarily cleared. The pending sale
price of$663,500 indicates a unit price of $4.60 per square foot. It is
based on the average of two appraisal reports; one completed for the
City of Seward (seller), and one completed for Chugachmiut (buyer).
The buyer intends to construct a medical clinic on the site. By
comparison, downward adjustments are required, primarily to reflect
superior zoning, access, and clearing. An offsetting upward adjustment
is necessary for inferior size differential. The net adjustment is
marginal, indicating a unit value approximating $4.60 per square foot
for the subject.
Land Transaction 2
Land Transaction 2 is the October 2021 lease of ARRC land located at
the north end of the Seward Small Boat Harbor on the southwest corner
_ of Port Avenue and Fourth Avenue. The nearly-trapezoidal shaped site
contains 22,194± square feet or 0.51± acre, including a small portion
� encumbered by public use easements. Access is from paved, two-lane
streets and all public utilities are available. Zoning is HC, Harbor
I - Commercial. The property is currently used for restaurant and tourism-
oriented uses, benefltting from its proximity to the harbor and railroad
depot. The lease rate of$24,880 per year indicates a capitalized value
of$311,000 using an 8% rental rate specified in the lease. The lease is
subject to five-year renewals based on an MAI appraisal. It indicates a
unit indicator of $14.01 per square foot. By comparison, downward
adjustments are required, primarily to reflect superior location, zoning,
and size differential. Thus, a unit value substantially less than $14.01
per square foot is indicated for the subject.
Land Sale 3
Land Sale 3 is the November 2018 sale located on the northeast corner
of the Seward Highway and Seward Park Drive, approximately 3.5
miles north of the Small Boat Harbor. The irregular-shaped lot contains
d, 74 923± square feet or 1.72± acres. Situated outside of Seward City
Limits, the parcel is unzoned. The listing Broker indicated there was a
700 square foot shop on the property connected to electric service, but
that power was turned off. Additionally, it was revealed the well and
septic on-site likely did not meet ADEC standards, and the well lacked
a well pump. The property was exposed to the market for 104 days,
originally listed for $150,000. The sale price of $130,000 indicates a
unit price of $1.74 per square foot. By comparison, downward
adjustments are necessary for lack of zoning restrictions, access, and

179
MacSwain Associates LLC
improvements on the property at the time of sale. Conversely,
overriding upward adjustments are required for inferior market
conditions, lack of public water and sewer, and inferior location. Thus,
Land Sale 3 indicates a unit value greater than $1.74 per square foot for
the subject.
Land Sale 4
Land Sale 4 is the July 2018 sale located on the north side of the Seward
Highway between Seward Park Drive and South Fork Lane,
approximately 3.5 miles north of the Small Boat Harbor. The irregular-
shaped lot contains 98,881±square feet or 2.27±acres. Situated outside
a of Seward City Limits, the parcel is unzoned. The listing Broker
indicated the lot has been cleared, and a building pad was prepped for a
structure approximating 40 feet by 70 feet. It was also revealed an
engineered septic system would be required to facilitate development.
The property was exposed to the market for 107 days, originally listed
for $95,000. The sale price of $85,000 indicates a unit price of $0.86
per square foot. Subsequent to the sale, a dental clinic was constructed
on the site. By comparison, downward adjustments are necessary for
site improvements at the time of sale and lack of zoning restrictions.
Conversely, overriding upward adjustments are required for inferior
market conditions, size differential, lack of public water and sewer, and
inferior location. Thus, Land Sale 4 indicates a unit value greater than
$0.86 per square foot for the subject.
Land Sale 5
Land Sale 5 is November 2017 located on the west side of First Avenue
near the corner of Madison Street, just north of the Seward Hospital.
.JThe nearly rectangular-shaped lot contains 41,818±square feet or 0.96±
pot� � �"t acre. Access is from First Avenue, a paved, two-lane road running
north/south on the west side of the townsite. Zoning is INS,
E W A
Institutional, which also allows some commercial uses. At the time of
�` —• �� -" ' sale, the property was vacant as the original structure had been razed
prior to 2012. The property was exposed to the market for 108 days
before selling at the list price of$200,000. This indicates a unit price
of $4.78 per square foot. The motivation for the purchase was for
eventual medical-related expansion due to its adjacency to the hospital
campus. By comparison, downward adjustments are necessary for size
differential and to reflect the degree of clearing at the time of sale,which
reduces site preparation expenses. Offsetting upward adjustments are
necessary for inferior market conditions and lack of highway frontage.
The net adjustment is minimal, indicating a unit value approximating
$4.78 per square foot for the subject.

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
This Purchase and Sale Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of September 11, 2023 between
Seward City Tours ("Purchaser"), and the City of Seward ("City" or "Seller"), organized as a first-
class home-rule municipality under the laws of the State of Alaska.
Purchaser and City agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale:
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the City agrees to sell and Purchaser agrees to
purchase the real property and improvements described as follows (the "Property"):
T 1N R 1W SEC 34 SEWARD MERIDIAN SW 0870012 FORT RAYMOND SUB REPLAT
NO 1 LOT 10A
The final legal description is subject to plat approval by the parties and responsible agencies and
subject only to the "Permitted Exceptions" as defined in Section 5 below.
The Property will be legally described as set forth in the final plat approved by The City and
Purchaser, and properly recorded in the appropriate recording district prior to Closing.
2. Purchase Price and Payment Terms:
The purchase price for the Property shall be two hundred ninety thousand ($290,000.00) dollars.
Purchaser will pay a deposit of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) (the "Earnest Money" or
"Deposit") to the Escrow Agent described in Section 4 with Purchaser's delivery of this signed
Agreement to the City. After all other terms and conditions of this Agreement have been satisfied,
including completion of all contingencies in Section 8 to Purchaser's sole satisfaction, the balance of
the purchase price shall be due to the City at Closing. Under the municipal charter and code of
ordinances of Seller, the City resolution required to approve this Agreement will be effective 30 days
following adoption of such resolution, except as provided in Section 3.
a. In addition to payment of the purchase price, Purchaser shall pay the costs and fees
associated with subdividing and platting the Property from the larger parcel of
which it is currently a part, including but not limited to survey expense, filing and
application fees, certificate to plat costs, title insurance and recording fees;
provided, that Purchaser shall only be responsible for paying fees and/or charges for
services and other items that are actually ordered directly or approved in advance by
Purchaser. Should the sale fail to close for any reason, the City will not reimburse
Purchaser for costs related to the platting process, except as provided in Section 3.
3. Referendum:
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect or reduce the rights of the voters of the City of Seward to
reject the City Council's approval of this Agreement by referendum. In the event a referendum
petition is timely filed and accepted, Seller shall provide written notice of acceptance to Purchaser at
the time the petition is accepted. Purchaser agrees that it shall have no rights under this Agreement
unless and until a resolution is approved by the voters of the City of Seward. Based on the burden
188
and delay inherent in a Referendum, Purchaser shall have the option of canceling this Agreement by
providing written notice to the City no later than thirty (30) days after the Referendum petition is
approved, with the City returning Purchaser's Earnest Money and prompt reimbursement by Seller of
all of Purchaser's reasonable, third-party costs actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with the
subdivision and replat, if a referendum petition is approved. Purchaser shall not be entitled to any
damages or other relief against the Seller in the event the voters void the Council's resolution. If the
resolution approving this Agreement is voided by such referendum action, this Agreement shall
terminate, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, and platting costs returned, within 10
days of the formal certification of the referendum vote, and neither party shall have any further
obligation hereunder.
4. Closing:
The parties shall cause an escrow (the "Escrow") to be established with First American Title
Company of Alaska - Seward Office ("Escrow Agent"). Consummation of the sale (the "Closing")
shall take place through the Escrow at the offices of the Escrow Agent, or such other place as the
City and Purchaser agree upon in writing. The City and Purchaser shall be given One Hundred
Eighty (180) days from the effective date of the resolution approving this Agreement to complete the
subdivision and platting process required to close this transaction. The parties shall agree in writing
on the specific date of Closing. In the event this transaction is not closed within One Hundred Eighty
(180) days of the effective date of the resolution approving this transaction, this Agreement shall
terminate unless extended. Purchaser shall have one extension as a matter of right, for 60 days, by
issuing written notice to the City. Any other extension must be agreed to in writing by both parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this transaction will close, then the City and Purchaser shall cause
the following to occur at the Closing:
A Quitclaim Deed conveying the Property to Purchaser, duly executed and acknowledged by the
City, shall be recorded in the Records of the Seward Recording District, Third Judicial District, State
of Alaska.
a. Purchaser shall pay to the City the price set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement.
b. The title company shall issue to Purchaser the title insurance policy described in
Section 7 of this Agreement.
5. Tide:
The City will deliver to Purchaser, at Purchaser's expense, within ten (10) days of mutual execution
of this Agreement a commitment for title insurance (the "Preliminary Commitment") preliminary to
the issuance of the title policy referred to in Section 7 of this Agreement, together with copies of all
underlying exceptions described in the Preliminary Commitment. The Property is to be sold and
conveyed subject to: (a) the condition that title to the Property is vested solely in the City and in the
City's name prior to closing, and (b) reservations, restrictions and easements as disclosed in the
Preliminary Commitment and approved by Purchaser. Purchaser shall be entitled to object to any
exceptions stated in the Preliminary Commitment by delivering written notice to the City and Escrow
Agent on or before fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Preliminary Commitment, supplemented
with the copies of the underlying exceptions described therein, which notice shall specify the matters
to which Purchaser objects. If Purchaser objects to any such matters, the City shall have fifteen (15)
days after receiving written notice from Purchaser to attempt to eliminate the matters to which
189
Purchaser has objected or to cause Escrow Agent to insure over said matters. The City shall notify
Purchaser in writing, within the fifteen (15) day period, if the City is unable or unwilling to eliminate
said matters or cause Escrow Agent to insure over said matters. Purchaser may then elect, by written

right within thirty (30) days after the effective date of this Agreement to object to such matter by
delivering written notice to the City specifying the matters to which Purchaser objects. To the extent

From: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
Brooks Chandler, City Attorney
Subject: Resolution 2023-104: Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Asset Purchase
Agreement with Homer Electric Association Inc.for the Sale of the City of Seward
Electric System to HEA Subject to Voter Approval
Background and justification:
On March 28, 2023, the Seward City Council passed Resolution 2023-039 approving an Asset Purchase
Agreement Between the City of Seward and Homer Electric Association for the Sale of the City of Seward
Electrical System, Subject to Voter Approval. The obligations of the City of Seward and Homer Electric
Association set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement("APA")were expressly conditioned on an affirmative
vote by three-fifths of the qualified electors voting on the proposition to approve the sale of Seward's electric
utility at a special election held May 2,2023. At that special election a referenda proposition approving the
sale of the Seward Electrical System to Homer Electric Association received more than fifty-eight percent
voter approval. Because Chapter 13.4 of the Charter required sixty per cent approval the proposition failed.
Both Homer Electric Association and the City of Seward had the right to terminate the Asset Purchase
Agreement after the special election results were certified but neither HEA nor the City of Seward terminated
the APA.
On July 24,2023,the Seward City Council passed Resolution 2023-088 placing Proposition No.2 a proposed
amendment to City of Seward Charter Chapter 13.4 reducing the number of electors required to approve the
sale of a municipal utility from three-fifths to a simple majority before the voters at the October 2, 2023
regular election. Also on July 24, 2023, the Seward City Council passed Resolution 2023-089 placing
Proposition No. 1 Sale of Seward Electric Utility before the voters at the October 2,2023 regular election.
The two Resolutions allow the voters to weigh in on whether to reduce the number of voters required to
approve the sale of a municipal utility and once again to vote to either approve or not approve the sale of
Seward Electric to HEA. All the commercial terms of the APA remain the same.
To allow for the possibility of voter approval of one or both propositions it is necessary to reword two
definitions of the APA. Amendment No. 1 does this by; 1)replacing the reference to the May 2,2023 special
election with a reference to the October 3,2023 election; and 2)replacing a reference to sixty percent voter
approval with a more general reference to the number of voters required to approve. This accounts for the
possibility voters will approve the proposition amending Chapter 13.4 of the Charter but preserves flexibility
that amending Chapter 13.4 will not be approved. The language of Amendment No. 1 has been negotiated
and approved by the city attorney and legal counsel for HEA.

From: Norm Regis, Acting City Manager
Subject: Action Memorandum 2023-013: Approving the City of Seward 2024
Legislative Priorities and Congressionally Designated Spending List
Background and justification:
Each year, the City of Seward compiles a list of projects and relevant issues which are key
legislative priorities. The City Manager provides this list as a piece of legislation to the City
Council to approve those key priorities which the City would benefit from obtaining funding and
legislative support. In 2024, the legislative priorities list continues to be of primary importance,
given the ongoing likelihood of expansive federal infrastructure fund availability. The
comprehensive list is used in order to effectively interact with the City's legislators and lobbyists.
Having this legislative priority list available prior to the beginning of the state legislative session
in January is valuable in order to engage in a meaningful manner with legislators early on in the
process. The legislative priorities for 2024 will also be used to generate the pamphlet which will
be provided to various entities during the course of visits to Juneau and Washington, DC.
Administration recommends inclusion of the following projects for the 2024 Legislative Priorities:
1. Continued Full Funding For The Construction And Maintenance Of The United
States Army Corp Of Engineers Lowell Tunnel Outfall Diversion Structure.
2. Funding for the Construction Of A New Wastewater Treatment Facility.
3. Expansion Of Water/Sewer And Access Infrastructure Which Will Increase
Construction Of New Residential Development Throughout City Limits.
4. Full Funding Of The Alaska Department Of Corrections To Return To 100%
Funding Of The Operational Costs Associated With Operating The Seward
Community Jail.
5. Seward Marine Industrial Center Infrastructure
6. Replacement Of Old Piping With New Ductile Iron Piping Throughout Seward.
7. Funding For The Construction Of A New Public Works Facility
8. Float Extension Project In The Harbor For Z Float.
9. Full Funding And Ongoing Maintenance For The Seward Airport Operated By
The State Of Alaska.
10. Funding for the Construction Of A New Harbormaster Office.
11. Funding for the Construction Of A New Public Safety Facility, Including The Fire
Department And Police Department.
12. Funding for the Completion Of The Heat Loop Project.
13. Sidewalk Replacement and Refurbishment Throughout The City of Seward
During their review of the 2024 Legislative Priorities, the Port and Commerce Advisory Board
208
passed Resolution 2023-003,with a suggested list of priorities.Please see that attached list as well.
In addition to the Legislative Priorities, Administration requests direction from City Council on
the 2024 Congressionally Designated Spending ("Earmarks") list. We have been advised by our
Federal Lobbyist to select 3 to 5 key priority projects for this purpose.

To: Port and Commerce Advisory Board
From: Stephen Sowell, Assistant City Manager
Norm Regis, Harbormaster
Subject: Resolution 2023-XXXX: Providing Input To City Council On The 2024
Legislative Priorities
Background and justification:
Each year, the City of Seward compiles a list of projects and relevant issues which are key
legislative priorities. The City Manager provides this list as a resolution to the City Council to
approve those key priorities which the City would benefit from obtaining funding and legislative
support. The timing of this resolution must be aligned with the budget process (during a budget
year), legislative timing, and the timelines associated with production of the guide itself.
In 2024, the legislative priorities list is of primary importance, given the ongoing likelihood of
expansive federal infrastructure fund availability. The comprehensive list is used to effectively
interact with the City's legislators and lobbyists. Having this legislative priority list available prior to
the beginning of the state legislative session in January is valuable to engage in a meaningful
manner with legislators early on in the process. The legislative priorities for 2024 will also be used
to generate the pamphlet which will be provided to various entities during visits to Juneau and
Washington, DC.

Agenda Item: Resolution 2023-105: Authorizing The City Manager To Purchase(1)2023
Ram 2500 Single Cab Long Bed Truck From Anchorage Chrysler Center
Under The City Of Seward Procurement Process,With Associated Upfitting
From Trailercraft Alaska In The Amount Not To Exceed $61,766 And
Appropriating Funds
Background and justification:
Parks and Recreation currently has 7 running vehicles for the department. 6 of those vehicles are 2010 or
older, including one from 2000, and one from 1999. As these vehicle age, maintenance becomes more
expensive,and parts become more difficult to acquire.We also only have one vehicle currently that is able to
be used for plowing in the winter.We are in the process of placing 5 of our vehicles into surplus auction that
are not currently running.
The Parks and Recreation Department is in need of updating our fleet to better accomplish our wide variety of
missions.This vehicle will allow us to more easily accomplish plowing in the winter and will be used in the
summer for maintenance needs.
The Parks and Recreation department is requesting to purchase one new Ram 2500 single cab through the
City Procurement process in the amount of$51,666 from Anchorage Chrysler Dodge.
The vehicle to be fully outfitted and professionally equipped by TrailerCraft, who provided a quote of
$10,100 to purchase and install an 8-foot plow and other related accessories at a cost of$10,100. The total
price would be $61,766.The department sees it beneficial to purchase this vehicle now,as it is currently on
the lot at Anchorage Chrysler in a configuration that we would purchase it in.
This purchase will be made utilizing the State of Alaska competitive bid process as allowed under section
6.10.120(B) of the Seward City Code,which allows the City to utilize competitive bids obtained by other
government entities.Parks and Recreation utilized Sourcewell to obtain a government quote for a Ford F-250
single cab long bed,which came to a price of$51,893.08.Parks and Recreation also contacted Kendall Ford
who does not have any trucks in this configuration and is not currently taking orders. Anchorage Chrysler
provided a quote for a Ram 2500, single cab long bed,with a snowplow prep group including a 220-amp
alternator and pass through circuits mounted in the dash for$51,666.
Funds for this purchase are available in the Motor Pool Equipment Account and were not included in the 2023
budget.

Services, LLC,plus 10% contingency for a total amount of
$394,887.90 Utilizing the State of Alaska Contract#CA2324-23
and Appropriating Funds
Background and justification:
The Public Works Department's 1994 White GMC Sand Truck, Unit 9111, is 29 years old and
past the anticipated useful life. The age of the unit, costly annual repairs, and multiple mechanical
issues make the purchase of a new plow/sand truck necessary to service Seward's winter road
maintenance needs. It will be held for sale in the next Public Surplus Auction.
The current manufacturer lead time for equipment orders is 18 months. Thus, necessitating this
purchase now to have this sander truck available for winter maintenance. The City of Seward
Motor Pool Budget Plan per scheduled fleet replacement/management lists the purchase of a new
International Plow Truck with Sander Up-Build package combination. The purchase price for the
International HV513 from RWC International,LTD. amount is $145,516 and the Sander Up-Build
Package from Bob's Services, LLC. amount is $213,473 for an amount not to exceed $358,989
with 10%contingency,for a total amount of$394,887.90.We currently have the 1994 White GMC
Sand Truck, and this standardization of equipment saves money and improves winter maintenance
efficiencies.
Seward City Code 6.10.120(B) allows competitive procurement purchases which utilize
competitive bids obtained by other governmental units, and the Public Works Department will be
purchasing this equipment through RWC International, LTD and Bob's Services LLC. utilizing
State of Alaska Contract#CA2324-23.

What knowledge, experience, or expertise will you bring to the Planning Commission?
As a general contractor in Indiana I worked with the building and zoning department frequently to get
the needed permits and inspections. Since moving up to Alaska a couple years ago I'm learning the
new codes here. Spending my last year on the Commission I have learned so much and am looking
forward to many more years of service if I'm brought back on.

Presentations
Jeff Estes - Power Factor
It's important to reduce power factor. As Seward grows industrially it will be more and more
important. The ship lift has a bad power factor and doesn't push load effectively. They could put
in capacitors to manage that load effectively, but it'll cost them up front. Their equipment is
being damaged by the power factor due to low voltage and if they put the money up front, it will
actually save them money in the long run. Seward used to charge for the power factor, but
someone in the city decided to not do it around 2017.
Montgomery said in 2019, he was contacted by John Foust about charging for the power factor,
but it was determined that there wasn't enough manpower to charge for it and do it accurately.
Dunham said that charging for the power factor would help cover some of the losses that
Seward is experiencing.
Estes clarified that companies who had bad power factors that they will be charged by a certain
date if they don't take control of their energy usage.
291
McCracken pointed out the losses could amount to over $400k in revenue that the city is
missing out on.
Montgomery clarified that there needed to be an audit for those power factors over 1, which
seem "out of whack".
Estes stated that all the power factor info is already in the city code and they were billing for it
when he was working for the city - approximately 10 companies were being charged back then.
There are close to 70 that have questionable power factors now.
Montgomery reiterated that it was the capabilities within the billing department that kept them
from charging for power factor in 2019.
Montgomery is going to check that no matter who we sell to, power factor will be charged?
Dustin - City IT
The committee had asked previously if the city IT department had the capability to take on the
IT for the electric department.
Dustin said that his team would need more training to be able to take that on, as well as deal
with the added workload for his team of 3. Cybersecurity if something that is growing in every
department he is working with in the city. He could see that position could possibly be mixed,
part time between the electrical department as well as helping out with the city IT team.
Paquette asked about the contract we have for support of the SKADA system (that shows
what's going on with the generators remotely) that the city IT is using. Montgomery said they are
looking into using the SKADA system to offer some remote capabilities with the plant. A couple
times a year, the contractor comes into Seward to help with the technology.
Kaluza asked if Dustin's team had been assisted in the billing side and he agreed.
Dunn said that the IT department needs more office space if they're given more workload.
Darryl said the finance department has been having trouble reading meters because they did
away with a contracted meter reader in the past year. The finance department has to read
around 200 meters individually.
Montgomery said they currently have one person who is reading meters on top of their regular
workload above and beyond their normal job. THere is someone in the building department is
being trained. But there's no normal schedule for reading meters because it depends on each
person's workload in their regular job.
292
Paquette suggested that the meter reader workload be added to the organizational chart that
Montgomery provided. Montgomery recommended that if the billing stays with the city, that the
billing move into the electric department and separate from the water and the sewer.
Deliverable #1 -
Committee spent time organizing the excel spreadsheet and information gathered since the last
meeting. See Spreadsheet for additions.
McCracken and Dunham asked for Draper to enter their info into the spreadsheet when they get
it.
New Business -
1. Lori Draper - What she and Skip Rieirson put together are the 2022 actual numbers
which are changing regularly. 2024 annual budget is the next column, and the final
column is a budget for rebuild that the committee would like to include in the deliverables
even though it wasn't asked for.
Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILT) - Generally a percentage of the operating expenses.
About 8% of revenues. Around $300k ROW fee to city that poles are sitting on city property. If
the utility was sold to a for-profit company, the city would continue to get their ROW fees. If we
sell, we will continue to enjoy sale tax.
Draper asked Montgomery why the 2022 line item for "Work Order Revenue" was over $800k,
but it was budgeted to be only $30k. Montgomery said he'd get back to us.
Rieirson said the audited financial statements may be available shortly. We are likely waiting for
the Providence audit and the state.
2. Schedule next meeting in September
Paquette said the first Monday in Sept is Labor Day, and she asked if we could move it to
Tuesday, but PNZ is using the conference room on that day. McCracken suggested moving it
to the library on the Tuesday, the 5th might work for everyone. Casagranda will secure the
library for the same time if possible.
Discuss Deliverables:
Deliverable #2
Montgomery said the department has adequate space for the positions that they have now, but
adding any more resources/staff will dictate the need for more space. Open to moving into any
number of existing spaces - i.e. if the police or fire departments get new buildings, there would
be space available there.
293
McCracken said the office trailers may be used for a short time. Montgomery said the electiric
building has possibility to add office space - could look into that. Seems that space will be open
up and possibility of moving Parks and Rec out of the Annex building to give the ELectric
Department more space.
Line item for deliverable #2 would be approximately $50k for desks, computers and partitions.
There's plenty of space in the Annex if we can find another space for Parks&Rec.
Deliverable #3
Cost estimate for additional supplies, vehicles, etc.
Montgomery said that there's not a need for more vehicles.
Equipment - computers for staff, etc. are included in Deliverable #2.
Deliverable #4
Cost estimate for regular maintenance, infrastructure, etc. (MRRF)
Harbor is the only one adding to their MRRF for upkeep and maintenance for big ticket items. It
comes partially from slip fees?
Montgomery think that should be the responsibility of the department heads. Current electric
MRRF fund is around $900k. We used to add $450k every year to the electric MRRF, but that
now goes to the general fund.
Montgomery said that the rate study is including a small amount in rates that would go into the
MRRF ($500k/yr) to replenish the maintenance budget after $3.5 million cost to refurbish the
Spring Creek substation.
Dunham asked Montgomery for a copy of his project timeline, capital improvements list and
estimates.
Dunham asked if Montgomery was involved in a pool of electrical utilities that bought equipment
in bulk together. Montgomery said he was not, but was willing to look at it.
Citizens Comments
Rieirson wanted to clarify that he's not an expert, but he's trying to help explain some of the
financial side of things, since the new finance director is working on getting up to speed. Also,
we're not here to talk about the sale, if the sale doesn't go through, it's important that the
committee gives a warranty of a set number of years to try to run our own business instead of
continuously putting it back on the ballot.
294
Darryl suggested that their were a lot of options concerning the enterprise fund in order to help
the utility to continue to operate, albeit not perfectly, but Chugach and Homer are not operated
perfectly either.
Dunn reiterated how discouraged everyone was that the council put the sale back on the ballot
before the committee even had a chance to dive into the deliverables. She hoped that the
committee would look into what a sale would cost the city as well.
Montgomery wanted to address the comments that Marie Gage made. He was having a
meeting with the acting city manager about what he was ready to bring to council or not.
Dunham suggested that we turn the utility into a co-op so that the outside residents can have a
say.
McCracken reminded us about a board of directors that could play into a co-op.
Testarmata wants to make sure that it's clear we are not rubber stamping all these positions just
because we're doing the research.
Kaluza thanked Skip, Darryl and all the citizens who have been showing up.
Paquette offered the analogy that the utility is like an old house with leaky siding and shingles
that we have been taking care of to make it look pretty, but the inside of the house is in
shambles and there is so much else that needs to be fixed. Because we've delayed
maintenance for so long, we do finally have to take care of the inside.
Casagranda thanked SAK town for recording and showing up each meeting. Casagranda added
she chooses to update old houses.
