Through: Phillip Oates, City Manager ~`~"
From: Kristin Erchinger, Finance Urrec[or K~
RL: llelay in implementation of sales tax cap increase
BACIkGROUNll .~ JURTIFICATION:
The Sewani <'ny Council approved Ordinance 2007-1U on bccember lQ, 20(17, with an effective date of April
i, ?00b. TTrit ordinance authorizes an increase in the sales tax cap from $500 N $1,000. Prior to approval of
thrs ordinance, the City adnunistratiun informed the Kenai Peninsula Borough administration of the proposed
ordinance. T}te Borough administration estimated the potential cost to them of modifications to their computer
sysRms and forms to acuururrodate the change in tax cap, at approximately $JOD,DDD. In response to Borough
input, the City administration proposal an implcmcntation date of April l rather than January 1, to provide
more time to the facilitate the necessary computer changes, and to educate and inform local businesses.
Following passage of Ordinance 2007-10, Ciry and Borough officials met to discuss the long-teem care facility
protect. At that time, the Borough adnumstratiun asked to open discussion of the tax cap increase, and
rcyuested the City consider further pusq~omng implementation based on concerns regarding the time it would
take to complete computer modifications to accornnrudate the change in tax cap. The Borough outsuurced their
tax accounting system in the pas[ two years, and the firm represennng the sothvare is located offshore, narking
it more challenging to accomplish the accessary changes. Afler a complete discussion of costs and logistics,
both the City and Borough administrations agreed to request support from the City and Borough legislative
bodies, to postlwne implementation of the tax cap increase to January 1, 2009. If the City agrees [o postpone
irnplemeniativn, the Borough will abTCe to pay all costs associated with the modifications to the tax accounting
system.

Replacement Copiers
RACKGROiJND & JUSTIFICATION:
The City has four copy machines that have reached the end of their lease terms and require
replacement. in an effort to achiuvc cost ctJiciencies, the administration packaged a Request for
Proposals for all four machinus arrd received three responses. The City currently pays $3,381.09 per
month to lease four copy machines (City Hall mail room and downstairs, harbor, and tire). We
propose a new lease agreement for the four copiers ac an approximate cost of S 1,448.31 per month,
for annual estimated cost savings of $23,000.
Proposals were received from Compucum, Frontier, arrd OfTice Tech. The vendors provided varying
levels ul'responsiveness to the Reyuest for Proposals. For example, one vendor offered a service
response time of 3-5 days, versus our current 24-hour response time. Another vendor offered 24-
hour rtsponsetime but charged lur each response (5400 or actual costs). Another vendor offered 24-
hour response time at no additional cost over the base cost. Some proposals failed to meet one or
more functionality requirement (c.g. maximum copy size, color copy option, speed).
To account for variations in responses, proposals were evaluated on the basis of
features/fimctionality (4U%), main[enance plan urd response time (3U%), cost (20%), and vendor
experience (10%). Fcaluns included such things as copier speed, color capability, network printing,
professional finisher, cte.
I he cost component of each vendor's proposal was adjusted to ensure comparability. For example,
some vendors inter a monthly charge which adjusts each year based on the prior years' actual copy
count. Some vendors consider each faxed or scanned page as a "copy" for the purposes of charging
for copy counts, while others do not.
The proposals scored as i'ollows:

RESOLUTION 2008-oc I
The Uffice Tech proposal received the highest score by otFering all oY the features requested, a 24-
hourresponse time included in the base rate, and for the downstairs copier, a base rate of$331.90 per
month plus an estimated $185.00 1'ur copies, for a total monthly cost of $51690, versus the cost of
the cuttent copier of $2,3Gti.02 pur month. The Office "1 ech proposal includes all scans and all faxes
within the base cost.
For the remaining tluee copiers (mail room, harbor, and fire), the base rate (including fax) is $278.47
per month, plus copies at $0.0084 for black and white, and 50.089 for color copies (in excess of 250
per month j. The per-copy cost includes all supplies. Since departments have varying usage on the
mar:hines, the estimated total cost per copier is as follows: I) the mailroom copier is $324.47per
month, versus the current lease rate of $422.71; 2) the harbor copier is $307.47 per month versus the
c;uiTent lease rate of $321.89; and 3) the fire copier is $299.47 per month versus the current lease rdlc
of$275.l8.

Paul Rupple, a boat owner in the harbor, stated the Seward Comprehensive plan called for a
shriving harbor. Fees kept increasing and he cautioned the council to keep fees reasonable to keep
boats and their owners ut the harbor. Rupple wondered if a change could be made ro keep human

removed from this resolution.
Oates agreed the cih•'s uucress was to have a smal I rhrivutg Lx~at harbor. The idea of human

authi+rity to intplciuenl.
llunharu was concerned with this resolution. Tn the past, residents outside city limits were
charged a 10'?o fee, which was later removed. He didn't like the surcharge and equalization of 4rio as
worded in section 1 artd wished there was another way to do it. Dunham felt the rates should reflect
the cast of the utility and the. zones set up should coordinate with the rates far them.
C'orbridge felt there were several prublents at hand, but the city was haund by law to try attd
equalize the net income received from those. inside anJ outside the city IimiLS. He felt this
equali~arion should be reexamined. but felt tltis was nut Utc currecl mechanism.
Smith noted surcharges were al lowed. He also didn't like the way Urc nxOlution was worded
and didn't understand equalizing net revenues far utility setti•ices.
Bardarson had property inside and outside city limits, and could understand tfie equalization.

Tom Tougas, disagreed that Sewed had l}e~'IQK~est sales<tax. He did business in five
communities and Seward was the only community on the`peetiisulawith abed tax. He reminded
council it was an initiative by Ntargarct Anderson to fund the C'Ziamtter with tied tax money, and felt
the resolution needed "a whereas" stating. to 1995, half of the hnfeLYnutcl tax was initiated with hal t
going to the chamber Lor marketing. "f~ougps argued retail sales wcc~ up sienificantly because of
gasoline prices, and the borough climinattor;,,~~,i~~grait[p csentptiona:#ot tours. He noted the generai

Ron He+t'itt, atentioned`~lt was an initiative in L~)5 that provided the bed tax funding; in

opposed the mcrcase in the bed leer hecausv; ltoIei communities were invespng trillions in ibis
community and thuu,~ht it remiss to gouge tourists with Wrote bed tax. Hewitt stated with tourism up,
this indusny alone would gencratetnore sales tax for the community. He felt the city was shooting
the ;,oldzti Boos. and steppin nn the.,hocls of the tourism industries that would take years for
recovc.ryto occur- Hewitt thought this tax was unnecessary and urged council to let the businesses

Alary Kulstad, aereed with the prior pubiic speakers and opposed raising the hotel bed tax.

efforts brought the tourists to Seward.
Debbie ~'an Tassel, reiterated the above and felt it was hitting a small busirnss group. 2008
contracts were already sieved and this caused an undue burden. Shc felt taxes should not focus on
anv one industry, and stated costumers did want to know the bottorrt line on what they wouid pay.
