RESOLUTION 2006-10
A RESOLUTION OF THE SEWARD PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION, SUPPORTING THE CONCEPT OF THE MARINERS
MEMORIAL FOR THE SMALL BOAT HARBOR
WHEREAS, many historic settlers of Resurrection Bay arrived by boat; and
WHEREAS, the first pioneer settlers of Seward arrived by steamship from Seattle; and
WHEREAS, Seward's position as an ice-free seaport in south-central Alaska has directly
influenced our history and economy; and
WHEREAS, Seward currently does not have a memorial honoring those who have
risked hazardous sea voyages in the course of building our community and others who lost their
lives in our local waters; and
WHEREAS, the fishing industry has been a mainstay of the community for more than a
century; and
WHEREAS, memorial plaques commemorating local mariners do not have a dedicated
memorial for display; and
WHEREAS, the Mariners Memorial would provide a good venue for Seward's annual
Blessing of the Fleet and other marine-oriented ceremonies, and
WHEREAS, a Mariners Memorial will serve as a monument to our maritime history;
and
WHEREAS, a donation in March 2004 of $1000 (one thousand dollars) by the Kenai
Fjords Yacht Club has started a Mariners' Memorial Fund through the 2003 Seward Centennial
non-profit account; and
WHEREAS, additional donations and grants to fund the design, construction, and
maintenance of a mariners' memorial will continue to be sought by local organizations and
individuals.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning
Commission that:
