CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
RESOLUTION NO. 91-135
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, APPROPRIATING $50,000 TO THE
SEWARD ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF MARINE
SCIENCE FOR PREPARATION OF PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS
FOR THE PROPOSED ALASKA SEA LIFE CENTER
WHEREAS, the Seward Association for the Advancement of Marine
Science (SAAMS) has contracted with Cambridge Seven Associates,
Inc., to develop a conceptual plan for the proposed Alaska Sea Life
Center and to prepare promotional and project identity materials to
aid SAAMS in seeking funding for construction of the facility; and
WHEREAS, to date, this project has been funded principally
from private contributions, with most of these contributions coming
from within the community of Seward; and
WHEREAS, in Fiscal Year 1991, the city of Seward contributed
$10,000 to the project and the past City Council identified certain
city property as a site for the facility; and
WHEREAS, SAAMS is currently in need of approximately $50,000
to complete the printing of promotional materials; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that private funding will be
forthcoming to meet this need, but not in as timely a fashion as is
needed to assure that the promotional materials are available for
SAAMS to begin its lobbying effort to secure funding from oil spill
settlement proceeds; and
WHEREAS, it is further anticipated that any funds advanced for
the printing of the promotional brochures will be repaid by SAAMS
as private donations are received;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
Section 1. It is in the public interest to advance $50,000.00
to SAAMS to cover the cost of providing promotional materials
relative to the proposed Alaska Sea Life Center.
Section 2. The sum of $50,000.00 is hereby appropriated from
the General Fund-Fund Balance Account No. 101-3070 to General
Services Contributions Account No. 101-1180-5610, such funds to be
advanced to the Seward Association for the Advancement of Marine
Science and repaid to the city as private contributions are
received by SAAMS.
