WHEREAS, the TNH project team and the administration along with a sub-

many and varied concerns, ideas and user groups into a long term plan benefiting the
current and future harbor customers, with an eye toward a positive economic impact for
the community of Seward; and
WHEREAS, the culmination of this process is designated Plan N, Revision - 1
which has been reviewed and recommended by P ACAB Resolution 2003-01; and

Section 1. Plan N, Revision - 2, attached hereto and incorporated by reference, is
approved and adopted for inclusion in the Harbor Area Planning and Development
Guide. The full Harbor Area Planning and Development Guide with Plan N, Revision -2
will be presented for adoption when completed.
Section 2. This Planning and Development Guide will be accomplished in stages
in such a manner that the Small Boat Harbor remains a working harbor at all times; such
a requirement means that accomplishment of this plan must be made in phases to assure
minimum blockage of travel in and out of slips.
Section 3. Prior to the commencement of each phase beginning with the
breakwater and for every phase thereafter, depending on funding availability at the time,
local market studies, economic analyses, public hearings and technical reviews, a
determination will be made of which features or modifications to the model including,
but not limited to quantity, size, location and/or design specifications are to be included
in the next phase.
Section 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption.
PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Council of the City of Seward, Alaska

Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: May 12, 2003
From: Jean Lewis, City Clerk
Agenda Item: Request for Reconsideration on
Resolution 2003-32,
Harbor Area Planning and Development
Guide.
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Council Member Nathan Orr lodged his intent, in writing, the evening of the April 28, 2003
City council meeting, to reconsider Resolution 2003-32.
Council Member Orr voted on the prevailing side, filed his notice of reconsideration within
the time allowed, therefore this motion is in order. Per Roberts Rules of Order, a motion
for reconsideration must be seconded and is debatable under this circumstance.
In order to debate Resolution 2003-32 again, Council would have to support the actual
request for reconsideration with a second and a 2/3 vote. (Our code, not Roberts dictates
a 2/3 vote for reconsider motions.) If the motion to reconsider is approved by a 2/3 vote,
the main motion will be back on the floor. It can be amended. If approved again it takes
effect from the time the original vote was taken April 28. If not, it fails.
If all Council members are present, it will take five votes for this resolution to be
reconsidered. Four votes if one person is absent from the meeting. It is 2/3 of the
members voting.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No
1. Comprehensive Plan _____ _____

________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
Council to decide whether to provide a second to debate the reconsideration motion, and
pass by a 2/3 vote or not. If not seconded and passed, motion to Reconsider fails. If
passed, main motion will be back on the floor, open for debate and amendments and
passage.
