PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, the United States Coast Guard is one of the oldest organizations of the federal government; and
WHEREAS, on August 4, 1790, which marks the 217" birthday for the U.S. Coast Guard, congress authorized
Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton to build a fleet of ten cutters to enforce tariff and trade laws, and
protect the collection of the federal revenue; and
WHEREAS, dramatic changes in the world have brought new responsibilities in meeting new maritime security
demands and the growing needs of a democracy, while sustaining the trust and confidence of the public; and
WHEREAS, through focusing on superior mission execution, the U.S. Coast Guard has continued to protect
the nation throughout our long history and have served proudly in every one of our nation's conflicts, continuing to
secure our freedom, protect our coast, and save lives at times of peace.
AND WHEREAS, in November of 1986, U.S. Coast Guard CUTTER MUSTANG relieved the CUTTER CAPE
JELLISON as the northern most patrol boat stationed in Seward, Alaska; and
WHEREAS, to date, CUTTER MUSTANG has completed 140 at -sea recreational and commercial fishing
vessel safety boardings in Resurrection Bay, Prince William Sound, Kodiak, Southeast, and the Gulf of Alaska; and
WHEREAS, this year alone, CUTTER MUSTANG responded to nine search and rescue cases, most notable of
which were the lost mariner on the vessel SEA GYPSY, who with heavy seas 15-20 ft. and storm force wind gusts
upward of 40 knots, was finally recovered by a rescue swimmer of the U. S Air Force in January 2007, and the
disabled FIV Carlynn which despite a confused seastate and passing storm, was successfully towed for 24 hours to
safety, to the merriment of an exhausted and thankful crew.
NOW THEREFORE, I Vanta Shafer, Mayor of the City of Seward, Alaska, do hereby recognize
August 4, 2007 as the U.S. Coast Guard's 217 birthday, and thank the Coast Guard for their dedication to
saving lives and their continued protection of our nation; and personally,,,;
commend Captain James Stoffer and Executive Officer Patricia Bennett and their crew for the bravery and
selfless courage they deploy daily, and to let the Coast Guard know we are honored and privileged to have them
stationed here in Seward, Alaska.
Dated this 23rd day of July, 2007.

Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: July 9, 2007
Through: Phillip Oates, City Manager
From: Donna Glenz, Planning Assistant
Agenda Item: Amending the Land Use Plan and rezone 27.5
acres in the North Forest Acres area from Institutional
(INS) to Rural Residential (RR) and Resource
Management (RM)
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Attached for City Council review and adoption is Ordinance 2007-XX amending the Land Use
Plan and rezone Lots 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, CP1, CP2, CG1, CG2, BC1, BC2, BD1, and
BD2, Forest Acres, Afognak Addition; and Lots AZ, AY, BA, AX, CH, Cl, CJ, CO, and CN
Forest Acres Subdivision from Institutional (INS) to Rural Residential (RR) (24 parcels); and
Tract A, Forest Acres, Afognak Addition and Lots CM, CL, CK, AW, and AV From Institutional
(INS) To Resource Management (RM) (6 parcels). (see attached maps).
On October 9, 2006 by Ordinance 2006-11 the Seward City Council amended the Land Use Plan
and rezoned the approximate 27.5 acre area then known as Forest Acres Tract A, Long Term
Care Preliminary Replat from Rural Residential (RR) and Resource Management (RM) to
Institutional (INS) in preparation for the community's new Long Term Care Facility (Facility).
This area is no longer being considered as a development site for the Facility and therefore the
property owner has requested the Zoning and Land Use Plan be returned to the previous
designations.
The area requested for rezone contains approximately 27.5 acres and is subdivided into thirty
(30) individual lots. Rural Residential zoning borders this area to the South and East while the
area is boarder to the West and North by Resource Management zoning. Rural Residential areas
to the South and East are designed for larger lots and single-family homes. Resource
Management areas to the North and West are generally large undeveloped areas with no public
services or utilities.
The Seward City Code § 15.05.025 defines:
Rural residential district (RR) Intended to provide for stable, quiet, low density (one or two
dwelling units per acre) detached single-family residential development, free from other uses
except those which are both compatible and convenient to residents of such a district including
recreational, religious and educational facilities of an appropriate scale and design
complementary to the neighborhood character.
Resource management district (RM Lands which are generally undeveloped and cannot be
precisely zoned due to inadequate information on the extension of public services and utilities;
Z
the suitability of the land to support commercial, residential, industrial or public uses; and other
possible environmental consideration.
r
Recognizing the primary concern of all land use regulatory actions including zoning, is to
promote public health, safety, and general welfare, as per SCC 15.01.010, Community
Development and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends this rezone for several
reasons:
1. This rezone will return twenty four (24) individual lots to Rural Residential zoning
which will encourage low -density development in a quiet rural setting, a development
option which is limited in City limits.
2. Rural Residential zoning requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 sq. ft. For point of
reference, an acre has 43,560 sq. ft.
3. The opportunity to have livestock, particularly horses, is an attractive option for
people and has initiated rezones to Rural Residential over the years in Forest Acres
Subdivision. The Code has restrictions on livestock which prevent them from
becoming a nuisance to neighboring property owners.
4. The 2020 Comprehensive Plan and the 1999 Strategic Plan encourage development of
new housing in Seward.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter,
Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
As required by the Seward City Code § 15.01.040 (2), neighboring property owners within 300
feet of the area and in addition all local property owners who use the Forest Acres road network
were notified of the proposed rezone and Land Use Map amendment, in order to provide more
opportunity for public involvement, and the property was posted with public notice signs prior to
the public hearing held by the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 19, 2007. The
Commission unanimously approved Resolution 2007-13 recommending City Council approval
of attached Ordinance 2007-xx, amending the Land Use Plan and Rezoning of 27.5 acres in the
North Forest Acres area from Institutional (INS) to Rural Residential (RR) and Resource
Management (R.M).

Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: July 23, 2007
To: City Manager, Phillip Oate
From: David Squires, Fire Chief
Agenda Item: 2007 Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant Award
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The Seward Fire Department applied for and was awarded a Volunteer Fire Assistance (AFG) grant
from the Department of Natural Resources, in the amount of $5,872.50.00. The City is required to
provide a 10 percent cash match, in the amount of $ 652.50 in local funds as a condition of the grant.

legislative funding. We are fortunate to have these smaller grants to help the rural fire departments,
and intend to apply as they are available.
Upgrading our communications network will be an ongoing process for many years to come.

To purchase interoperable communications equipment (radios) complaint with State ALMR / P25
requirements for the better communication between our firefighters and other emergency agencies.

Dear Volunteer Fire Department,
Your application was received for 2007 Rural Fire Assistance (RFA) funding. Unfortunately,
Congress is only funding the Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) program in 2007. All federal grants
funding has always been subjected to availability from Congress. It is regrettable that 2007 RFA
funding has been eliminated, It is unknown at this time if money will be appropriated by Congress
for RFA & VFA in future federal fiscal years. Should funding be available, the next opportunity to
apply for RFA and VFA funding will be in the fall of 2007.
Since 2001, FEMA has made fiends available to fire departments. One of the programs established
by FEMA is the Firefighter Program. This program offers funding assistance to fire departments at a
much higher level than the RFA & VFA programs. More information is available at
http://www.firegrantsupport.com/
The Alaska Wildland Fire Coordinating Group appreciates all the assistance volunteer and rural fire
departments provide in responding to and suppressing wildland-urban interface fires and we look
forward to a continued partnership.
Sincerely,
Willie R. Tholripson

Dear Volunteer Fire Department,
Thank you for applying for the 2007 Volunteer Fire Assistance / Rural Fire Assistance
grant program. A total of 37 fire departments applied for the Volunteer Fire Assistance
(VFA) grant program and 18 fire departments applied for the Rural Fire Assistance (RFA)
grant program. Congress elected not to fund RFA this year so no awards were made to
RFA applicants.

COOPERATIVE FIRE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
FOREST SERVICE, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
AND THE CITY OF SEWARD

of wildland fires on National Forest administrated lands and on adjacent lands or intermingled State
and private lands for which the Forest Service has assumed fire management responsibility through
agreements with the State of Alaska, Division of Forestry and the Bureau of Land Management; and

suppression of all fires including wildland fires within the City of Seward; and

OF SEWARD, ALASKA that:
Section 1. The Council hereby fmds that, for the reason stated above, the Cooperative Fire
Management agreement is in the public interest.

Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: July 23, 2007
Through: Phillip Oates, City Manage
From: David Squires, Fire Chief
Agenda Item: Cooperative Fire Control Agreement between the
Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture and the City of
Seward.
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Since May of 2001, the City of Seward and the US Forest Service has had a cooperative fire
management agreement. This agreement has proven beneficial to both parties in past years.
The US Forest Service is the primary organization tasked with prevention, detection and suppression
of wildfires with the Chugach National Forest. The agreement with the Forest Service would
provide for cooperation in the prevention, detection and suppression of wildland fires within the
protection areas of the City of Seward and the Chugach National Forest. The agreement, if adopted,
is in effect for a period of 5 years, at which time it will be revisited and updated as needed.
This agreement is intended to ensure that both parties are aware of their respective responsibilities
before, during and after a wildland fire. It allows for the Seward Fire Department to be reimbursed
by the Forest Service for personnel and equipment costs associated with a suppression effort. In
addition through this agreement the Forest Service will provide wildland fire fighting equipment and
training to the members of the Seward Fire Department.
Based on the fact that the mission of both departments are similar in nature and that the jurisdictions
of both departments not only border each other but intermingle, it would be beneficial to the public if
both agencies were cooperating in their efforts to reduce the risk of loss of life and property caused
by wildland fires.
INTENT:
Renew the cooperative agreement between the US Forest Service and the City of Seward Fire
Department for continued protection of the community.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans,
Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
FISCAL NOTE:
This may result in possible increase revenues, which cannot be estimated at this time.

RECOMMENDATION:

Management Agreement between the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture and
the City of Seward.

COOPERATIVE FIRE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
Between
CITY OF SEWARD FIRE DEPARTMENT,
And
USDA FOREST SERVICE,
CHUGACH NATIONAL FOREST
THIS COOPERATIVE FIRE CONTROL AGREEMENT, is made and entered into by and
between the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, acting by and through the
Chugach National Forest, hereinafter referred to as the Forest Service, and the City of Seward
Fire Department, hereinafter referred to as the Cooperator under the authority and provisions of
the Reciprocal Fire Protection Act of May 27, 1955 (42 U.S.C. 1856), the Granger-Thye Act of
April 24, 1950 (16 U.S.C. 572), Cooperative Funds and Deposits Act of December 12, 1975
(P.L. 94-148, 16 U.S.C. 565), and the Charter of the City of Seward, Jan. 5, 1960.
A. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this agreement is to provide for cooperation in the prevention, detection, and
suppression of wildland fires within the protection areas of the City of Seward Fire Department
and the Chugach National Forest.
B. STATEMENT OF MUTUAL BENEFITS AND INTERESTS:
The Forest Service has the responsibility for prevention, detection and suppression of wildland
fires on National Forest administered lands, and on adjacent or intermingled State and private
lands for which the Forest Service has assumed fire management responsibility through
agreements with the State of Alaska, Division of Forestry and the Bureau of Land Management.
The Cooperator has the responsibility for prevention, detection and suppression of structure and
other, non-wildland fires within their area of responsibility.
Structure and land protected by the Cooperator are intermingled or adjacent to lands protected by
the Forest Service.
Therefore, it is mutually advantageous and in the public interest for the parties to coordinate their
efforts in the prevention, detection, and suppression of wildland fire in and adjacent to their areas
of responsibility,
C. GENERAL PROVISIONS:
Annual Operating Plans: The Forest Service and the Cooperator will meet annually,
prior to the initiation of fire season to prepare an Annual Operating Plan (AOP). This
Plan will include protection area maps for all parties, current rate for use on equipment
and personnel, lists of principal personnel, dispatching procedures, and any other items
identified in the agreement as necessary for efficient implementation (Exhibit A).
Individuals responsible for negotiating and signing the Annual Operating Plan will be the
Seward Ranger District, District Ranger for the Forest Service and the City of Seward
1 26
FS No. 07FI- 11100400-080
Cooperator Tax ID No.
Fire Chief, or other responsible official, for the Cooperator. The approved AOP shall
become attached to and made a part of this agreement.
2. Definition of Responsibilities: The parties hereto shall be identified as follows:
Protecting Party: The party responsible for providing for direct fire protection in given
areas pursuant to this Agreement. (Forest Service)
Supporting Party: A party providing suppression assistance or other support and
resources to the Protecting Party. (City of Seward)
Jurisdictional Pariy: The party that has overall land and resource management and/or
protection responsible as provided by law. (State of Alaska and Forest Service)
3. Protection Areas and Boundaries: Protection areas and boundaries will be established,
mapped, and made a part of the Annual Operating Plan.
4. Reciprocal Fires Protection: As deemed appropriate, the agencies will establish
reciprocal initial attack zones for lands of intermingled or adjoining protection
responsibility. Within such zones a Supporting party will, upon request or voluntarily,
take initial attack action in support of the Protecting Party. The Protecting Party will not
be required to reimburse the Supporting Party for initial attack actions taking place in
these zones within the first two (2) hours following initial dispatch of suppression
resources. Reciprocal initial attack zones will be mapped and maps made a part of the
Annual Operating Plan.
5. Requested Assistance: Outside initial attack zones, when requested by the Protecting
Party, the Supporting Party will, within their capability, provide initial action or other
support on wildland fires. Such requested assistance is reimbursable (see Clause 17,
Billing Procedures.)
6. Independent Action on Lands Protected by Another Party: Except as other wise
described in the Annual Operating Plans, any party on its own initiative and without
reimbursement may go upon lands protected by another party to suppress wildland fires,
if the fire is a threat to property within that Party's protection responsibility. In such
instances, the party taking action will promptly notify the Protecting Party.
7. Notifications: Each party will promptly notify the Protecting Party of wildland fires
burning on or threatening lands for which that party has protection responsibility. When
taking action within the protection of the other, the Supporting Party will, as soon as
possible, notify the appropriate official identified in the Annual Operating Plan, and
provide details of what equipment and personnel has been dispatched to a specific
location.
8. Boundary Line Fires: Boundary line wildland fires are the initial attack responsibility
of the Protecting party on either side of the protection boundary. Neither party will
assume the other party is aware of the wildland fire or that the other party will take
action. Each party will make every reasonable effort to communicate with the other
concerning the fire. The officer -in -charge who arrives on the wildland fire first will act
FS No. 07FI-I 1100400-080
Cooperator Tax ID No.
as Incident Commander. When both parties have arrived, the officers in charge for each
agency will mutually agree to the designation of an Incident Commander(s).
9. Cost Sharing: The Forest Service has assumed the role of wildland fire Protecting Party
on all State and Private lands within it's designated jurisdiction through agreements with
the State of Alaska Division of Forestry and the Bureau of Land Management. Cost
sharing therefore lacks legal significance, and cannot be considered.
10. Shared Equipment and Supplies: Equipment shared or loaned by one party to another
and under the direct control and supervision of the protecting party shall become the
responsibility of the borrower, and shall be returned in the same condition as when
received, fair wear and tear excepted. The Protecting Party will repair or reimburse for
damages in excess of normal wear and tear and will replace or reimburse for items lost,
destroyed, or expended.
11. Communication Systems: The Parties mutually agree to share the use of
communication systems, radios and radio frequencies for the execution of this agreement.
Sharing of frequencies must be approved by authorized personnel for each Party and
documented in the Annual Operating Plan.
12. Fire Reporting: If either party takes action on a wildland fire either independently or by
request, the Supporting Party will furnish the Protecting Party with.atpreliminary incident
report (oral) within 24 hours of action taken and a written incident report within 10 days
of action taken.
13. Determination of Cause and Preservation of Evidence: When one party to this
agreement takes initial action on a wildland fire on lands under this agreement, the initial
attack force will attempt to protect the area of origin of the fire and gather and protect
evidence pertaining to the fire cause.
14. Non-wildland Fires and Other Emergencies: This agreement provides for cooperation
only in wildland fire management activities. The Forest Service shall not respond to
structure fires, dump fires, vehicle fires or traffic accidents in lieu of the cooperator. The
Forest Service may, as available, respond to such incidents when adjacent wildlands
covered under this agreement are threatened by fire from such incidents.
15. Personal Protective Equipment: All personnel in support of wildland fires will wear
leather lace -type boots with skid resistant soles with tops at least eight inches (8") high,
leather gloves, hard hats, fire resistant shirt, pants, and fire shelters.
The Forest Service may loan the Cooperator personal protective equipment required for
wildland fire suppression. All equipment loaned must be documented on an AD-107
"Report of Transfer or Other Disposition or Construction of Property". Such property
will remain the property of the U.S. Government and shall be returned to the Forest
Service at the end of the fire season.
16. Training: Each party will advise the other of any applicable cross training opportunities
for trainee positions in instruction programs. Each party will meet NWCG 310-1
standards or FSM-5109.17.

FS No. 07F1-11100400-080
Cooperator Tax ID No.
17. Billing Procedures: The Supporting Party will bill the Protecting Party for actual costs
incurred for assistance provided and identified as reimbursable. Reimbursable costs
include all costs associated with direct fireline/fireground operations and incident support
ordered by or for the incident (except as described otherwise in reciprocal initial attack
and independent action situations). Rates and conditions of use for equipment and
personnel will be mutually agreed to and documented in the Annual Operating Plan.
A. Billing Estimates and Timeframes: The Supporting party shall submit a bill or
estimate for reimbursement within 10 days of the incident. If final costs are not
known at the time of initial billing, an estimated bill, so identified may be submitted.
A final bill, so identified, will be issued within 20 days of the incident.
B. Billing Content: Bills will be identified by wildland fire location, and appropriate
incident number and will be supported by adequate documentation as outlined in the
annual operating plan. Billings for wildland fire suppression assistance will not
include administrative overhead.
C. Billing Addresses: Bill will be sent to the appropriate party as follows:

Mile 0-8 Electrical facilities, to be reimbursed by the State of Alaska
Department of Transportation and Public Facilities
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The Electric Utility is working to comply with the State of Alaska Department of Transportation

stamped by an engineer and having the work inspected by a qualified inspector. The Electric
Utility doesn't currently have the staff available to do this work in house. DOTPF has been

Diesel Spill
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
On July 7, 2006 the City received a letter from ADEC requesting further information and work plans
showing successful completion of the remediation of the spill site. Since no further remediation or
closure has occurred, ADEC is requiring a work plan and timetable for assessing the current nature
and extent of soil and groundwater contamination, and for the completion of site cleanup and
remediation.
In November of 2006, Council authorized an agreement with URS — Resolution #2006-126 to do a
site assessment and closure. Waiting for DEC to approve the work plan prevented work from starting
until this spring. The Purchase order authorizing payment expired on December 2006. We need to re -
appropriate $21,684.30 from the fund balance to compete the project.

Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: July 23, 2007
To: Phillip Oates, City Manage
From: Karin Sturdy, Parks & Recreation Director
Agenda Item: ALPAR Litter Patrol Grant and Seaview COFY
Program
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
Seward Parks and Recreation has again been awarded a grant from Alaskans for Litter Prevention
and Recycling ("ALPAR"), in the amount of $2,000. This grant will fund a youth litter patrol in
Seward, and reimburse personnel expenses from the project. Youth workers shall be paid minimum
wage, $7.15 and the adult crew leader will be paid $12.21 per hour. Applications for crew positions
will remain open throughout the summer.
We've also made our request again to the Kenai Peninsula Borough - Solid Waste Division
asking a matching $2,000 for our litter patrol program, and/or other litter control or beautification
projects.
Last summer, the litter patrol consisted of two adult leaders, a program supervisor from SeaView
Community Services and a part-time crew of up to 12 youth workers. They worked five hours per
day, four days per week from May through August. The litter crews cleaned the downtown area, the
beach, the harbor plaza, city parks and streets, and the highway out to the Chamber of Commerce
building. When time allowed, they cleaned residential areas. Youth crew members must be ages 14
to 17, as defined in the ALPAR grant requirements.
Last summer we partnered with SeaView Community Services and the Boys and Girls Club to
enhance the program. A grant to SeaView allowed special mentoring of the Creating Opportunities
for Youth (COFY) program. Once each week the teens were treated to a special lunch. The Boys &
Girls Club Director, Debbie Bond, led the employees in a national CareerLaunchr"" program,
enhancing skills and talents on the job. They focused on applications, interviews and resumes, etc...
Mrs. Bond also taught a few hours of instruction related to litter prevention and recycling. The Parks
& Recreation Department supplies the bags, gloves and safety vests, litter sticks and various other
tools or supplies.
This year another new COFY partner is added with Seward Senior Citizens Center. Erika Anger,
Prevention Specialist is coordinating projects with senior citizens who sign up for summer jobs. The
ALPAR litter patrol kids we hire attend to these projects, under the supervision of adult staff.
You might recall last winter the Pit Bar and owner Frank Dahl made a $10,000 contribution to
SeaView Community Services for this COFY program. The funds were collected under the
umbrella of the Resurrection Bay Lions Club, by way of pull tabs sold at the Pit Bar. These funds
will be reimbursed to the City of Seward at the end of the season for COFY expenses paid as
wages to employees and associated ALPAR expenses.

From: Donna Glenz, Planning Assistant
Agenda Item: Supporting the Wildlife Conservation Community Program to help
prevent negative bear encounters
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION•
Here in Alaska we live, work and play in bear country. The Alaska Department of Fish & Game,
Alaska State Troopers, federal agencies and the Seward Police Department have all been called upon
to respond to negative human / wildlife encounters, both within the City and neighboring Borough
areas. Many of these interactions occur in residential areas.
The Wildlife Conservation Community Program (WCCP) began as a pilot project initiated within the
City of Kenai where partnerships were forged between government agencies, nonprofits, businesses,
and local community members to provide financial assistance to purchase bear -resistant garbage
containers. As a direct result of these efforts, the volume of nuisance bear calls significantly
decreased, which led to a safer neighborhood for both people and wildlife, better public stewardship
of wildlife resources and less agency time spent dealing withnuisance wildlife.
Through the efforts of the local volunteer group Seward Wildlife Conservation Community Program
(WCCP) has been awarded $145,150.00 in grant funds. These grant funds are being used to
purchase bear resistant garbage containers which will be made available to the residents of Seward
and the local area at a substantially reduced cost. The containers, which retail for approximately
$200.00 will be made available to city and borough residents for a reduced cost of $50.00.
Contact with the Kenai Peninsula Alaska Waste office has assured the City that the Seward based
trash pickup trucks are in the process of being retrofitted to allow pickup of these bear resistant
garbage containers. Alaska Waste continues to support the partnership with the Alaska Department
of Fish and Game to help limit the occurrences of bears in trash.
The Seward City Code supports the design and usage of containers that prevent their upsetting or
spillage by wind, weather, animals or accident. The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly adopted
Resolution 2007-031 at the May 1, 2007 meeting, which supports the efforts of the Wildlife
Community Conservation Program and encourages borough residents to participate in the program.
Numerous community letters of support for the program have been submitted.

Hello Jack,
Thank you for returning my phone call. As we discussed in our phone conversation earlier today, the City of
Seward is requesting the support of Alaska Waste as we move forward into the Bear Safe Community Program.
It is my understanding that Alaska Waste is in the process of retrofitting the Seward based truck to be able to
pick-up the bear safe cans once they are in use. I am requesting that Alaska Waste provide comments in writing
that I can present to the Seward City Council supporting this program and assuring the City that Alaska Waste will
be able to continue to pickup the trash here in Seward when these containers are put into use. Thank you for
your time and attention to this Community project.

The City of Seward and the Seward Police Department an pleased to support the Alaska
Department of Fish and Gana Wildlife Conservation Community Program. We feel this
valuable program should be initiated in Seward much like it has been in other areas of the Kenai
Peninsula. The community of Seward has indicated its support for the program by citing it as a
goal of the Seward 2020 Comprehensive Plan.
We believe taking a proactive approach to educate homeowners in the handling and disposing of
garbage in a way that does not attract bears and other wildlife will lessen the frequency of bear -
human encounters, which ultimately leads to the needless destruction of bears.
One of the goals of the Wildlife Conservation Community Program is to create safer
neighborhoods for people and bears and decrease the amount of time authorities spend
responding to complaints about nuisance bears. An integral part of this program is community
involvement through education.
The Wildlife Conservation Community Program has been successful in other communities. The
City of Seward along with the Seward Police Department, believe that the community of Seward
will greatly benefit from this program and strongly support it in our area.
Sincerely,
City of Seward

To Whom It May Concern:
The Alaska SeaLife Center supports the Alaska Department of Fish & Game's
Wildlife Conservation Community Program. We believe this valuable program
should be initiated in Seward much like it has been in other areas of the Kenai
Peninsula.
As a marine research, education, rehabilitation, and conservation facility the
Alaska SeaLife Center recognizes the importance of supporting programs which
protect the valuable assets of the coastal community of Seward. This includes
protecting the balance and health of the marine wildlife population and the
terrestrial wildlife population. In addition, our employees, who are our most
valuable asset, are members of the community and this program will help
improve their safety and quality of life.
We would like to see residents of the City of Seward and the surrounding area
become pro -active about reducing bear encounters and ultimately bear fatalities
by reducing attractants on their property that lead to safety issues for all.
The Wildlife Conservation Community Program, facilitated by Larry Lewis, has
shown remarkable success in other communities on the Kenai Peninsula and is a
model for reducing negative interactions between people and bears, as well as
encouraging region -wide wildlife stewardship. We believe that Seward can
benefit from this successful program and support all efforts for it to be
implemented in our area.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
Kenai Fjords National Park supports Resurrection Bay Conservation Alliance's (RBCA)
application for a ConocoPhillips Barth Energy Partners Program grant. RBCA is working in
conjunction with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to launch a Wildlife Conservation
Community Program (WCCP) in Seward. We believe this valuable program should be initiated
in Seward as it has in other areas of the Kenai Peninsula.
The National Park Service recognizes the importance of supporting a program that protects our
wildlife as well as the safety of our community. The WCCP would encourage residents of the
Seward area to be proactive about reducing the potential for bear and other wildlife fatalities by
employing safer methods of waste containment.
The WCCP has proven successful in other communities such as Kenai, has provided a model for
reducing negative bear -human interactions, and encourages community stewardship. We believe
Seward can benefit from this program, and support the efforts of RBCA in the implementing the
Alaska Department of Fish and Game WCCP in our community.

Subject: Wildlife Conservation Community Program
Dear Mr. Lewis,
As the Executive Director of the Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council (KPTMC), l am
pleased to write in support of the Seward and Homer Wildlife Community Conservation Program
(WCCP) grant proposals to develop a program to minimize negative bear -human interaction on the
.Kenai Peninsula.
K MC is a non-profit, member -based visitor industry trade association that conducts marketing on
behalf of the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Our membership is comprised of more than 400 businesses
— from small tour operators to major corporations. The Kenai Peninsula a diverse and exceptional
place to view wildlife, including bears. KPTMC has worked closely with the Alaska Department of
Fish and Game to develop and promote the first road/boat based wildlife viewing trail in the State of
Alaska, located on the Kenai Peninsula. These trails foster economic development through tourism
and by helping to support quality of life amenities that attract businesses from other industries to
locate in the area.
As human development and recreational activity on the Kenai Peninsula increases, it is vitally impor-
tant that we educate the public on safe practices to ensure bear conservation into the future. We
support the Wildlife Conservation Community Program and recommend that the Seward and Homer
WCCP receive funding for this important public/wildlife safety program.

[write this letter in solid support for the Wildlife Conservation Community Program
development in the Seward area, i have seen what the program has done for the City of
Kenai and am encouraged by the efions to expand the program to the other side of the
Kenai Peninsula,
I have worked for a number of years with many of the partners involved in this effort and
am convinced of their cotnmittncnt, capabilities, and professionalism. The specific goals
directed at reducing negative bear -human interactions are especially laudable and
achievable. Wildlife managers have witnessed the successes of increased utilization of
bear -resistant garbage containers that clearly create safer neighborhoods, reduce tho need
for efforts to managc nuisance wildlife in communities, and the overall isnprovcment in
responsible public stewardship of our %ildhfe resources.
Thank you for the opportunity to support this valuable endeavor.

Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: July 23, 2007
To: Phillip Oates, City Manager
From: Karin Sturdy, Parks & Recreation Director
Agenda Item: PARKS Organization Community Built
Playground Commitment & Request
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
A grassroots community group, Parents Advocating Recreational Kids' Stuff (PARKS) presented
their request to raise funds privately and construct a new, custom -designed playground for all kids
ages 0 to 12 on City land. Attached please find an email and site selection spreadsheet from PARKS
coordinators Christine Shepard and Father Emmanuel Williamson. The email outlines the specific,
immediate and long-term requests of the City as well as the items the group will provide.
The concept for this playground came from a group of parents with young children who discovered
the Girdwood community -built playground. The group researched information and discovered that
Girdwood community members worked with Leather, Associates who assists in designing custom-
built playgrounds to fit the needs of the kids in a given area. One of the favored features of the
Girdwood playground is the special area designated for children under the age of five. Currently, all
our Seward playgrounds are designed for children ages five to 12, so the need for younger kids'
recreation is great.
Site Selection:
After weeks of brainstorming and idea brewing, the PARKS organization toured various City parks
and recreation possible sites with SPRD (Seward Parks and Recreation Department) staff. They
narrowed their scope to nine locations, then to three locations. They voted to present their top two,
City site locations to the City Council for your authorization for use. Their first choice is the Adams
Street Recreation Area, off Ballaine Boulevard. The sand volleyball court currently resides here.
Their second choice is the location of our current Third Avenue playground, behind Stylin' Stitches,
just immediately south of the Crab Pot Restaurant. The attached comparison spreadsheet details the
pros and cons of various concepts, issues and impacts. After discussion, the Council should be
prepared to offer a motion to select one site.
Specific Requests:
In addition to selecting and authorizing the use of City land for the future playground, the attached
email requests the following commitment from the City Council tonight:
1. Land (Ballaine is their first choice, based on site -selection data gathered, as well as ADA
parking)
2. $5,000 "seed money" to PARKS and allow PARKS to contract with Leathers Assoc. for
Seward's "Design Day" cost and to purchase fundraising supplies
3. The City to own and maintain, and assume liability of the park after construction.
4. To prepare the site for construction (example: fill for Ballaine site; Remove fencing and
existing playground equipment on 3rd Ave playground lot)
66
5. City Council authorize or approve of City employees to assist in loaning of tools and
equipment and skilled operators during Build Week (5 days): auger, backhoe, etc...
shovels, hammers, specialty tools, etc...
6. Waive fees digging permit and/or building permits and plan reviews fees. (Approximate
value not exceeding $2,575.00)
7. City Council authorize or approve City "donation" of temp. electric service installation, use
and removal during 5-days of "build week" construction (for use of electric tools, etc...).
The timeframe shall be determined by Leathers and PARKS.
In exchange, the PARKS organization commits to: A. Build a safe playground for all kids ages two
to 12 years; B. Raise money to build the playground; C. Professionally coordinate the entire project,
including design through construction; D. Supply volunteers to construct the playground; E. Supply
"Special Event" insurance or "Volunteer Insurance" through a non-profit, or purchased to add on to
the city's existing policy; F. Bring the community of Seward together and create special bonds
between people of all walks of life; G. Provide a family -friendly place for locals as well as tourists;

City of Seward, Alaska
Monthly Budget Report
For the Month ended June, 2007
We are pleased to provide this budget report for the month ended June, 2007. The format of the
monthly budget report is a work -in -progress, reflecting the administration's attempt to improve
the transparency of financial and budgetary reporting for the City. The monthly budget report
includes a combination of graphs and narrative analysis, aimed at simplifying the presentation of
financial information. This month's report adds the following elements: 1) unbudgeted
operational needs list; 2) supplemental appropriations; 3) cash balances in all City funds; and 4)
risk area assessment. We welcome comments from the City Council or the public as to how we
may improve this document to make it more useful for timely decision making.
This report contains information on the major sources of revenue for the General Fund, with a
focus on providing historical perspective on the timing of revenues and the City's typical
revenue cycle. Revenues are compared on a monthly basis over four years. Revenues are then
compared according to major revenue category (taxes, licenses/permits, intergovernmental,
charges for services, and miscellaneous) across years, to see whether major revenue sources are
increasing or decreasing. And finally, year-to-date revenues are examined to predict whether we
can expect to meet budgeted revenue goals.
An analysis of expenditures demonstrates the typical pattern of spending during the year. Debt
service payments are generally made semi-annually (June and October), snow removal costs are
higher in the winter, and campgrounds gear up in the Spring. In this analysis, expenditures are
compared on a monthly basis, and then by category, showing the trend in costs for each major
category (salary, benefits, purchased services, supplies/maintenance, general and administrative,
capital and debt, and other). Finally, a chart is provided which shows the extent to which each
General Fund department is tracking with budgetary projections.

This graph presents the monthly distribution of all revenues of the General Fund, including
Taxes, Charges for Services, Intergovernmental, Licenses/Permits, and Miscellaneous. The
graph highlights the revenue cycle of the General Fund and demonstrates that the majority of
General Fund revenues are collected in the second half of the year.
The primary source of revenue for the City is tax revenue, representing 55% of all 2007
budgeted revenues. Sales tax alone accounts for 41 % of all budgeted revenues. Taxable sales
revenues are highest in the second and third quarters (April through September), and Seward
receives those sales tax payments from the Kenai Peninsula Borough primarily in August and
November. Property tax revenues are due to the Borough in April and November, and are
received by the City typically in May and December.

The following graph aggregates revenues into primary categories. This graph reflects revenues
through June for the current year and four prior years. General Fund revenues come primarily
from Taxes, Charges for Services, and Intergovernmental Revenues, in that order. However,
because the majority of tax revenue is received in the second half of the year, more revenue has
been collected through June, from Charges for Services. Mid -way through the year, Charges for
Services and Intergovernmental revenues are $54,779 and $37,541 higher than the previous year
(through June) respectively, while Taxes and Miscellaneous are $12,014 and $83,376 lower.

Tax Revenues
Although the graph above reflects an overall trend toward lower first-half tax revenue
collections, this appears to be due to the timing of cash flows. However, without sales tax data
for the second quarter, it is too early to know for sure. (Sales tax data is not yet available for the
second quarter from the Kenai Peninsula Borough). Taxable sales in the first quarter were up
0.75% in 2006 (over 2005), and are up 6.38% in 2007. It is difficult to extrapolate this data to an
annual projection, based on the uncertain timing of the receipt of taxes and one-time revenues.
Through June, we have received only 2.7% of budgeted property tax revenues (slightly lower
than 2006), and 23.5% of budgeted sales tax revenues.
Through March, bed tax revenues are up 22.8% over 2006, generating an increase in tax
revenues of $2,435. Bed tax data for the second quarter is not due until the end of July. Bed tax
revenues were budgeted to be 17.9% higher in 2007 than in 2006, so most of this bed tax
increase was already anticipated in the budget.
Intergovernmental revenues are at 31 % through June, and general government charges are at
43%. Overall, given that the majority of revenues come in during the last half of the year, it is
too early to estimate where revenues are likely to fall relative to the budget. However, revenues
collected through June, 2007 are approximately $35,000 lower than the same period in 2006.
Non -Recurring Revenues
One-time revenue sources are performing below expectations; the budgeted cargo fee of
$150,000 has not been implemented, and has been opposed by a resolution of the Port and
Commerce Advisory Board. Anticipated contributions from the State for PERS were budgeted
at $400,000, but the City will receive only an estimated $65,000 attributable to the General Fund.
The State legislature appropriated $198,000 of unexpected `energy assistance' to the City. The
net of these three line items is an expected revenue shortfall of $287,000.

GENERAL FUND
Analysis of Expenditures
The graph below depicts the typical spending pattern of the General Fund. Spending in the
General Fund is fairly equally distributed across the year, although slightly less in the early
months of the year. Expenditures tend to rise toward the summer with the ramping up of
campground operations, and then again at year-end in years with excessive snowfall.

Overall, General Fund expenditures in 2007 are slated to be 12.7% lower than in 2006 (due to
the one-time hospital PERS payment in 2006). Total expenditures through June are at
$4,165,172 or 45.4% of the total budgeted expenditures of $9,173,239, while 50% of the fiscal
year has expired. Expenditures are lower than the annualized budget (50% of the budget) by
approximately $420,000. To determine whether these lower costs indicate the potential for year-
end budget savings, we need to look at the specific categories experiencing budget savings.
Graph 5 shows that compared to 2006, the current year is higher in Salary and Benefits,
Purchased Services, and Capital and Debt costs through June, but is lower in
Supplies/Maintenance, and General & Administrative. Salary and benefit costs represent 37% of
the entire fiscal year budget.

Through June, salary and benefit costs are at 47.2% of budget. Summer salaries tend to be
slightly higher due to campground activities. However, assuming there is no abnormally high
snowfall causing salaries and benefits to rise significantly in the winter, we can expect to see
some salary savings. The primary reason for the salary savings is that the PERS actuarially
required contribution rate came in less than the budgeted projections. These potential savings
are offset, in part, by higher -than -budgeted health insurance costs, which are expected to come in
$35,000 higher than budgeted due to a 10% increase in monthly premiums effective September
1, 2007.
In addition, the 2007 State legislature has changed the method for computing the City's
retirement contributions for new hires. The City will now be required to pay at least 22% for all
new employees hired under the newly established defined contribution retirement plan. Previous
to this legislative session, the rate paid for new hires was less than half of the rate paid for
employees covered under the prior PERS Tier I, II, and III. However, this legislative session, the
State legislature modified the contribution rates such that the City no longer pays substantially
lower rates for newly hired employees. Rather, the higher contribution rate is now required to be
paid on all covered payroll in order to pay down the unfunded liabilities to the retirement system.
Other unanticipated expenditures include a $30,000 legal settlement for a Union -related matter,
appraisals for the north forest acres levee project (which are not eligible for grant funding),
repairs to the Community Center in excess of $330,000 (to be paid out of insurance reserves due
to lack of fund balance reserves, and in addition to siding costs), and various smaller matters.
Over the previous four years, expenditures through June have averaged 42.8% of total annual
expenditures, as reflected in Graph 6 below. Given this year's budget of $9.2 million, June
represents about 45.4% of all budgeted expenditures, so we are slightly higher than prior year
spending as a percentage of the annual budget.
