ALASKA, REVISING SEWARD CITY CODE SECTION 5.35.045
(COMPUTATION -MAXIMUM TAX), INCREASING THE SALES TAX CAP
FROM $500 TO $1,000, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2009, AND RESCINDING
ORDINANCE 2007-010
WHEREAS, the Seward City Council approved Ordinance 2007-010 on December 10, 2007,
increasing the sales tax cap effective April 1, 2008. Following passage of said Ordinance, the City and
Borough administrations met to discuss implementation and determined that due to computer system
programming constraints, it would be impossible for the Borough to meet the April 1 deadline, and a
later date would provide more time for the Borough and City to adequately re-program computer
programs, reformat sales tax forms, and inform businesses of changes to the tax cap; and
WHEREAS, the Borough and City administrations agreed to recommend to their respective
legislative bodies, a revision to the implementation date to make the increase in the sales tax cap
effective January 1, 2009, providing sufficient time for computer program modifications, modifications
to forms, education of taxpayers, and helping Co smooth the implementation of a major diversion
between the tax policy of the Borough and a local municipal government; and
WHEREAS, by agreeing to compromise on a later implementation date, the Borough has
agreed to assume al] costs associated with modifications to its tax accounting system and forms; and
WHEREAS, Seward City Code 5.35.035 provides authority for the imposition of sales tax and
requires that sales taxes be collected and remitted to the Kenai Peninsula Borough in accordance with
AS 29.35.170 and Chapter 5.18 of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Code; and
WHEREAS, Seward City Code 5.35.045 specifies the amount of tax to be applied on the first
$500 of each separate sale, rent, or service transaction, with said amount being generally identified as
the "sales tax cap" and this Ordinance would increase that sales tax cap from $500 to $1,000; and
WHEREAS, neither the City of Seward, nor the Kenai Peninsula Borough have amended their
sales tax provisions to increase the maximum tax computation since the adoption of Kenai Peninsula
Borough Ordinance No. 9 which had an effective date of July 1, 1965;
WHEREAS, the equivalent value in today's dollars, of the 1965 tax cap of $500, is estimated
at more than $1,900.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA,
HEREBY ORDAINS that:
CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
ORDINANCE 2008-001
Section 1. Seward City Code Section 5.35.045 is amended as follows:
ae~ =Delete Bold =New
The tax shall be applied only to the first $-599 $1,000 of each separate sale, rent or
service transaction. The payment of rent, whether for real or personal property, in
excess of $590 $1,000 and for more than one month shall be treated as several separate
transactions covering the rental for one month each. A transaction involving payment
for services or personal property to be rendered or delivered over a period of more than
one month for a consideration in excess of ~-599 $1,000 shall be treated as several
separate transactions occurring one each month over the period of time that the service
or property is rendered or delivered.
Section 2. Ordinance 2007-] 0 is hereby repealed.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting Date: January 14, 2008
Through: Phillip Oates, City Manager
From: Kristin Erchinger, Finance Director
RE: Delay in implementation of sales tax cap increase
BACKGROUND & NSTIFICATION:
The Seward City Council approved Ordinance 2007-10 on December 10, 2007, with an effective date of April
1, 2008. This ordinance authorizes an increase in the sales tax cap from $500 to $1,000. Prior to approval of
this ordinance, the City administration informed the Kenai Peninsula Borough administration of the proposed
ordinance. The Borough administration estimated the potential cost to them of modifications to their computer
systems and forms to accommodate the change in tax cap, at approximately $100,000. In response to Borough
input, the City administration proposed an implementation date of April 1 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, City and Borough officials met to discuss the long-term care facility
project. At that time, the Borough administration asked to open discussion of the tax cap increase, and
requested the City consider further postponing implementation based on concerns regarding the time it would
take to complete computer modifications to accommodate the change in tax cap. The Borough outsourced their
tax accounting system in the past two years, and the firm representing the software is located offshore, making
it more challenging to accomplish the necessary changes. After 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 postpone implementation of the tax cap increase to January 1, 2009. If the City agrees to postpone
implementation, the Borough will agree to pay all costs associated with the modifications to the tax accounting
system.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST
Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans,
Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
Other:
FISCAL NOTE:
The 2008 Budget was approved with the expectation that approximately $70,000 would be generated by an
increase in the sales tax cap. A delay in the implementation date will result in the loss of $70,000 for the City
in 2008. However, the Borough will agree to ay the approximately $100,000 in implementation costs
associated with the computer modifications. ,~,~,~~w
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council approve a delay in implementation of the sales tax cap to January 1, 2009.

2008, the annual rental rate for the Leased Land shall be set at Four Thousand Eight Hundred
dollars ($4800). Rent shall be payable quarterly in advance upon the Effective Date of this
Lease (prorated for the balance of the current quarter) and thereafter on or before the 20th
day of the month beginning each calendaz quarter: January 20, Apri120, July 20 and October
20. The amount of each quarterly payment shall be one-quarter of the annual rental rate as
initially established or later adjusted under this Article 3. Additional Rent shall be paid in
accordance with Section 3.9 of this LEASE.
3.2 Rental Adjustments. The annual rental payment shall be adjusted on July 1, 2010, and on the
same date every five yeazs thereafter (each a "Rental Adjustment Date"). The adjusted
annual rental payment to be paid under the terms of this Lease shall be the appraised fair
mazket rental value (the "Fair Mazket Rental Value") of the Leased Land at the highest and
best use of the Leased Land. The highest and best use of the Leased Land shall be
determined without regazd to LESSEE'S intended or actual use of the Leased Land unless that
use is coincidentally the highest and best use of the Leased Land. CITY shall complete such
appraisal and deliver a copy of the appraisal report to LESSEE not less than ninety (90) days
before each Rental Adjustment Date.
3.3 Procedure for Rental Adjustment. To adjust the rent as of any successive Rental Adjustment
3
1a
Date, CITY shall, at its own expense, retain an independent State of Alaska certified MAI
appraiser (Member, Appraisal Institute), who shall determine the "Fair Mazket Rental Value"
of the Leased Land in accordance with this Article 3, exclusive of improvements placed
thereon by LESSEE but inclusive of all improvements made by CITY (including those made
before or subsequent to this LEASE). The appraiser's report shall be delivered to LESSEE
not less than ninety (90) days before the Rental Adjustment Date. The appraiser's
determination of Fair Mazket Rental Value of the Leased Land shall constitute a final binding
determination of the Fair Mazket Rental Value and the adjusted annual rental rate until the
next Rental Adjustment Date, unless LESSEE objects to CITY's appraiser's determination of
the Fair Market Rental Value. In that case, LESSEE shall give written notice to CITY of its
objection within thirty (30) days of receipt of the appraiser's report, and LESSEE shall then
engage an independent State of Alaska certified MAI appraiser (Member, Appraisal Institute)
at LESSEE'S expense to make an appraisal of the Fair Market Rental Value in accordance
with this Article 3.
If LESSEE'S appraisal determines a Fair Mazket Rental Value that varies from that
determined by CITY'S appraisal by no more than twenty percent (20%), then the adjusted
rental rate shall be the average of the rental rates determined by the two appraisals. If
LESSEE'S appraisal determines a Fair Market Rental Value that varies from CITY'S
appraisal by more than twenty percent (20%), then, unless CITY and LESSEE agree on a rate
themselves, the adjusted annual rental rate of the Leased Land shall be determined in
accordance with the arbitration provisions contained in Article 19 of this LEASE.
3.4 Effect of Late Appraisal by CITY. If, for any reason, CITY does not complete the appraisal
or deliver a copy of the appraisal report to LESSEE ninety (90) days before the Rental
Adjustment Date, CITY may proceed to complete the appraisal or deliver a copy of the
appraisal report to LESSEE at any time thereafter. However, any such adjusted annual rental
rate shall not be effective until the quarterly payment due date immediately following the
date CITY delivers the appraisal report to LESSEE.
3.5 Appraisal by LESSEE. If for any particulaz Rental Adjustment Date, CITY fails to obtain an
appraisal of the Fair Mazket Rental Value or fails to deliver the appraisal report to the
LESSEE by the Rental Adjustment Date, LESSEE may engage an independent State of
Alaska certified MAI appraiser (Member, Appraisal Institute) at LESSEE'S expense to make
an appraisal under the terms of this Article 3 and submit a copy to CITY before the next
quarterly rental payment due date. However, LESSEE must notify CITY in writing within
thirty (30) days following the Rental Adjustment Date of LESSEE'S election to obtain an
appraisal. If CITY objects to LESSEE' S appraiser's determination of the Fair Market Rental
Value, CITY shall give written notice to LESSEE of its objection within thirty (30) days of
receipt of the appraiser's report, and CITY shall then engage an independent State of Alaska
certified MAI appraiser (Member, Appraisal Institute) at CITY's expense to make an
appraisal of the Fair Mazket Rental Value as of the Rental Adjustment Date and in
4
~~
accordance with this Article 3. If the CITY's appraisal determines a Fair Mazket Rental
Value that varies from that determined by LESSEE'S appraisal by no more than twenty
percent (20%), then the adjusted rental rate shall be the average of the rental rates detemilned
by the two appraisals. If the CITY's appraisal determines a Fair Mazket Rental Value that
varies from LESSEE' S appraisal by more than twenty percent (20%), then, unless CITY and
LESSEE agree on a rate themselves, the adjusted annual rental rate of the Leased Land shall
be determined in accordance with the azbitration provisions contained in Article 19 of this
LEASE.
3.6 Effective Date of Adjusted Rental Rate. The adjusted annual rental rate established by this
Article 3 shall apply as of the Rental Adjustment Date if CITY provided a copy of the
appraisal report to LESSEE no later than ninety (90) days before the Rental Adjustment Date.
If the adjusted annual rental rate is based on CITY's late appraisal or late delivery of the
appraisal report to LESSEE, the adjusted rental rate shall be effective beginning with the
quarterly rental payment due date immediately following the date the CITY delivers the
appraisal report to LESSEE. Notwithstanding the above, the exercise by either CITY or
LESSEE of the objection procedure relating to rental adjustment described in this Article 3
shall not postpone LESSEE'S obligation to pay rent at the rate established by CITY. LESSEE
shall pay the amount of rent as established or adjusted by CITY until the question of
objection to the rental rate is finally resolved. At such time the objection to the rental rate is
resolved, an appropriate credit or adjustment shall be made retroactive to the date the new
rental rate was established by CITY or incases where CITY failed to obtain an appraisal or
deliver the appraisal report to the LESSEE, to the Rental Adjustment Date.
3.7 Interim Rental Adjustments. For each yeaz in the period between each Rental Adjustment
Date, excepting the Rental Adjustment Dates, the annual rental payment shall be increased
beginning July 1, 2008 and on July 1 of every yeaz thereafter (each on "Interim Rental
~~
Adjustment Date) in an amount that reflects the increase, if any, in the cost of living for the
previous year as stated in the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, Anchorage,
Alaska Area, All Items 1967=100 ("CPI"), as published by the United States Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for the most recent period published immediately prior to

other index as most neazly approximates the CPI for the relevant period, and make whatever
adjustment in its application as may be necessary, in the CITY's sole discretion, to

published.

hazards. Contractual liability insurance coverage in the amount of not less than TWO

.'
order to provide continuously throughout the term of this LEASE and any extensions hereof,
a level of protection consonant with good business practice and accepted standards in the
industry. Such factors as changes in the type of or extent of use of the Lease Land, increases
in the cost of living, inflationary pressures, and other considerations, shall be utilized in
assessing whether the minimum insurance requirements should be increased. CITY shall
notify LESSEE of any required increase in insurance coverage.
All insurance policies shall provide for thirty (30) days' notice of cancellation and/or material
change to be sent to CITY at the address designated in ARTICLE 33 of this LEASE. All
such policies shall be written by insurance companies legally authorized or licensed to do
business in the State of Alaska, and acceptable to CITY (Best's Rating B+ or better). CITY
shall be listed as an additional insured under all insurance policies. LESSEE shall furnish
CITY, on forms approved by CITY, certificates evidencing that it has procured the insurance
required herein prior to the occupancy of the Leased Land or operation by LESSEE.
Insurance policy deductibles are subject to approval by CITY. Nothing herein contained
shall prevent LESSEE or CITY from placing and maintaining at CITY'S or LESSEE'S own
individual cost and expense, additional or other insurance as may be desired. The minimum
insurance requirements under this LEASE shall not act to limit LESSEE'S liability for any
occurrence and shall not limit LESSEE'S duty to defend and indemnify CITY for claims
related to this LEASE or the Leased Land.
15.2 Subrogation Rights Waived. To the extent permitted by law, LESSEE hereby releases CITY,
its elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers and others working on behalf of
CITY from any and all liability or responsibility to LESSEE or anyone claiming through or
under LESSEE by way of subrogation or otherwise, for any loss of any kind (including
damage to property caused by fire or any other casualty), even if such loss shall have been
caused by the fault or negligence of the CITY, its elected or appointed officials, employees or
volunteers or others working on behalf of the CITY. This provision shall be applicable and
in full force and effect only with respect to loss or damage occurring during the time of
LESSEE'S occupancy or use (including LESSEE'S occupancy or use prior to the Effective
Date of this LEASE), and LESSEE's policies of insurance shall contain a clause or
endorsement to the effect that such release shall not adversely affect or impair such policies
or prejudice the right of LESSEE to recover thereunder except as against CITY (including its
elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers and others working on behalf of
CITY) during the time of LESSEE'S occupancy or use. LESSEE agrees that its policies of
insurance will include such a clause or endorsement.
ARTICLE 16 -CONDEMNATION
If all or any part of the Leased band is condemned for a public use by any government agency
or other duly authorized entity, CITY and LESSEE shall each make a claim against the condemning
or taking authority for the amount of any damage incurred by or done to them respectively as a result
16
;'
of the taking. Neither LESSEE nor CITY shall have any rights in or to any awazd made to the other
by the condemning authority; provided, that in the event of a single awazd to CITY which includes
specific damages for loss of LESSEE'S leasehold interest, CITY shall transmit to LESSEE the
amount of such specific damages so found, if any.
If part but not all of the Leased Land is condemned for public use, LESSEE shall make a
good faith determination as to whether or not the taking of the part of the Leased Land designated for
condemnation will prevent it from continuing to operate on the Leased Land. If LESSEE determines
in good faith that the condemning of such part of the Leased Land will prevent it from continuing to
operate on the Leased Land, LESSEE may notify CITY in writing to this effect, and this LEASE
shall then be terminated for all purposes effective fifteen (15) days from the date LESSEE sends such
notice to CITY, or at such other later date as LESSEE shall specify in its notice, and such
termination shall be treated in the same manner as a termination at the expiration of the term of this
LEASE. LESSEE shall, as a condition precedent to such termination, remove all encumbrances,
debts and liens to which the Leased Land is subject. If at the time of such partial taking for public
use, LESSEE determines that such partial taking will not prevent it from continuing to operate, then
LESSEE and CITY shall negotiate an equitable and partial abatement of the rent beginning to be
effective on the actual date when LESSEE is effectively prevented from utilizing the condemned
land.
ARTICLE 17 -ARBITRATION

and judgment on the award may be entered in any Superior Court in the State of
Alaska. Notwithstanding the foregoing, azbitration shall not be applicable to claims
or disputes involving a requested remedy having a value of more than Fifty Thousand
Dollazs and No/100s ($50,000) (exclusive of interest and costs). All demands for
arbitration and all answering statements thereto that include any claim must contain a

any such claim, counterclaim, dispute or matter is more than Fifty Thousand Dollazs
and No/100s ($50,000). The costs and expenses of azbitration shall be shared equally

determine any claim based upon fraud, intentional misrepresentation, nor any claim
based on conduct that is a felony crime in the State of Alaska.
c) Written notice of requests for arbitration of disputes may be served by either party to
this LEASE upon the other party. Arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be
determined by a single arbitrator selected from a list of not less than five azbitrators
obtained from the presiding Superior Court Judge or other appropriate judicial officer
in Anchorage, Alaska. The azbitrator shall be a person who (a) has not less than five
(5) years legal experience in the State of Alaska prior to appointment; and (b) such
legal experience includes substantial experience with long-term commercial real
property transactions. Each party shall be provided with a copy of the list and shall
be afforded a maximum of ten (10) working days to become familiaz with the
qualifications of the prospective arbitrators. The arbitrator shall be selected by each
party, commencing with the party demanding the azbitration, striking one name from
the list until only a single name remains.
d) Arbitration hearings shall be conducted in Anchorage, Alaska or such other location
as the parties may agree. Each party shall produce at the request of the other party, at
least thirty (30) days in advance of such hearing, all documents to be submitted at the
hearing and such other documents as aze relevant to the issues or likely to lead to
relevant information.
e) In deciding the claim or dispute, the azbitrator shall follow applicable Alaska law,
and the written decision shall be supported by substantial evidence in the record.
Failure to apply Alaska law, or entry of a decision that is not based on substantial
evidence in the record, shall be additional grounds for modifying or vacating an
azbitration decision.
ARTICLE 18 -MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
18.1 Normal Maintenance. During the entire term of this LEASE and every extension hereof, if
any, LESSEE shall, at LESSEE's sole cost, risk and expense, maintain the Leased Land,
including any improvements placed thereon by LESSEE, in as good condition as received or
constructed by LESSEE, subject to normal, non-abusive use. CITY, at CITY's sole option
and expense, may, prior to the commencement of construction by LESSEE, perform
maintenance and preventative work on the Leased Land, exclusive of improvements placed
thereon by LESSEE, in order to prevent erosion, mitigate damage to plants and animals, or
prepaze the Leased Land for eventual development by LESSEE or others by grading, filling
or contouring the Leased Land. Any such work performed by CITY shall be at CITY's sole
expense and risk unless LESSEE agrees, in advance and in writing, to shaze such expense
18
~~
and risk. LESSEE shall maintain in first class condition at all times all fire, pollution and
other protective equipment, if any aze placed on Leased Land.
18.2 Safety Issues. CITY may notify LESSEE in writing of any deficiencies in the performance of
LESSEE'S maintenance responsibilities asthey relate to public health or safety and LESSEE
shall promptly within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice advise CITY in writing of its
proposed schedule for performance of any work necessary to cure such deficiencies.
If such deficiencies relate to the safety of LESSEE'S operation such that the surrounding land
and port facilities aze exposed to risk, unnecessary potential hazards, or a risk to the public
interest (as distinguished from a business risk), or if CITY is not satisfied with the proposed
schedule of repairs either because of the delays therein or the scope of the repairs, then CITY
may engage an independent engineering consultant well-versed and experienced who shall
furnish to CITY a comprehensive survey and report for the purpose of establishing both the
need and urgency to perform such maintenance work. As soon as practicable following
receipt of said engineer's determinations and recommendations, if the report requires repair
then LESSEE shall pay the cost of the report and perform such work in accordance therewith
at LESSEE'S cost, risk and expense.
18.3 Cost of Repairs. Should LESSEE dispute the necessity of any maintenance work as being
necessary or advisable or reasonable to protect the public facilities on adjacent land, it may
submit the matter to arbitration; provided, however, that pending the decision of the
azbitrator it shall fully comply with the maintenance requests. If an azbitration award should
ultimately find that the repairs were not necessary then LESSEE may either deduct from
future rental payments the cost of such repairs or be reimbursed therefor. In deciding whether
repairs requested by CITY or required by an engineering report. aze necessary, the azbitration
panel is to give primary consideration to the safety and welfaze of the Sewazd port facilities
and the citizens of Sewazd in light of the highest standazds in the industry.
If any facility or service provided by CITY to the Leased Land shall become inadequate due
to changes in environmental control standazds or should any facility require updating or
improvement by reason of a change in LESSEE'S use of the Leased Land or operations
therefrom, LESSEE shall either construct such improvements at LESSEE'S own cost or
reimburse CITY for such work at the option of CITY.

Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: January 28, 2008
Through: Philip Oates, City Manager
From: Kirsten Vesel, Assistant City Manager ~i~
Dave Squires, Fire Chief
Agenda Item: Authorizing the City Manager to terminate the
joint use agreement and enter into a Lease
Agreement with the State of Alaska Department of Administration for use of
land by Alaska Vocational Technical Education Center (AVTEC) for
constructing and operating a fire training facility and sign a Use Agreement
with AVTEC.
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: The City and AVTEC are currently working under a joint
use agreement to provide fire training services on land owned by the City in the Sewazd Marine
Industrial Center ("SMIC"). AVTEC, through the State of Alaska, desires to lease the land at less
than fair mazket rental value and inconsideration for the reduced rent the City will continue to have
use of the site for training purposes.
A public hearing was scheduled in May 2006 for the purpose of seeking council approval for a lease,
but the lease was pulled from the agenda at AVTEC's request. In August 2006, AVTEC notified the
City it was interested in purchasing, rather than leasing, the property. In late fa112006, Council held
a work session to heaz from AVTEC representatives, and others, ideas about leasing or purchasing
the land, and continued joint use by the City. Following the work session, the City Manager met
with AVTEC representafives to discuss terms of an agreement. Since that time period City Staff and
Administration have had many discussions on different versions of the lease and use agreements.
The lease presented today for Council's approval would lease approximately 7.79 acres of City land
to the State of Alaska for $500 per yeaz rent. The City would be permitted to continue to use the
facility for training purposes. The State, through AVTEC, would construct the necessary facilities to
provide fire and emergency response training under a variety of scenarios. Upon execution of the
lease, the existing agreement for joint use would terminate. As apart of the lease a new use
agreement was developed which cleazly identifies each parties responsibilities for the Fire Training
Facility.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Sewazd City Code, Charter, Comprehensive
Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
FISCAL NOTE:
The City would receive $500 per yeaz rent and would retain use of the facility for training
purposes. _ ~

-6-
tr
J
accuracy of any information provided by CITY.

regulations and scheduled fees from time to time even if those adjustments shall cost
LESSEE more for its operations or use of public facilities, and CITY is free to do so
provided only that it does not impose any greater burden or higher rate upon LESSEE than
upon any other similar user of the public facilities.
4.6 Time for Payment of Utilities LESSEE will pay for utilities related to its operations on the
Leased Land and LESSEE'S interest in this LEASE and improvements thereon, if any, before
such obligations become delinquent; provided, that LESSEE may, in good faith and before
such delinquency, contest any such charge or assessment.
4.7 Other Uses. This LEASE shall not preclude the CITY from actively seeking other and
additional tenants for space including those who would be in competition with LESSEE or
who might be interested in leasing the Leased Land should this LEASE be terminated for any
reason.
ARTICLE 5 -UTILITIES AND RIGHTS OF ACCESS
5.1 Utilities. LESSEE, at LESSEE'S sole cost and expense, shall provide for the extension of
public utilities to the Leased Land sufficient for LESSEE'S intended operations. In so doing,
LESSEE shall comply with all CITY regulations and requirements, and the tariffs of the
affected utilities, with respect to the construction of those utilities. CITY agrees to cooperate
and assist the LESSEE, through consultation and review, in LESSEE'S planning and
engineering of those improvements. All utilities will be located and sized in accordance with
CITY'S Master Plan covering the Leased Land. All such construction shall be in compliance
with all applicable building, mechanical and fire codes. Utilities constructed by the LESSEE
within the public rights-of--way or within public utility easements will normally be accepted
and maintained by CITY or utility companies and may be used to serve other customers of
the LESSEE without payment of fees or reimbursement of construction cost to the LESSEE.
However, this does not preclude several lessees from agreeing to share the cost of
constructing a utility to serve their facilities. CITY or other utility company may determine
that it would be to their benefit to oversize the utility or install special fittings or equipment
in order to serve other existing or future users. The additional direct costs of such over sizing
shall be borne by CITY or other utility company. Such costs shall be limited to the supplier's
cost of the additional fittings, equipment, direct labor, and equipment costs to complete the
installation. The costs of over sizing pipe or electrical conduit shall be limited to the
difference between the supplier's price to provide the size required to serve its facility and the
price of the oversized material required by CITY or utility company. Nothing in this
-~-
paragraph prevents the CITY, in its own discretion, from installing or maintaining all or any
portion of the utilities extended to the Leased Land as described in this pazagraph.
LESSEE shall not be entitled to any refund, rebate, or payments from CITY for any rent,
investment, or costs incurred by LESSEE with respect to any required permits for
construction or operation of LESSEE's facilities on the Leased Land, it being the intent of the
parties that the risk of obtaining required permits be solely a risk undertaken by LESSEE.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5, and if so requested by LESSEE,
CITY shall, at CITY's sole cost and expense, extend a capped water line 5 feet inside the
Leased Land at the South East property line. Such extension is conditional on CITY first
installing a water line and fire hydrant in the adjacent road right of way.
5.2 Third-Party Improvements. At the request of LESSEE, CITY shall, from time to time,
execute and deliver, or join in execution and delivery of, such documents as are appropriate,
necessary, or required to impose upon the Leased Land in accordance with the terms of this

Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: January 28, 2008
From: Phillip Oates, City Manager ~p
Agenda Item: Seward Community Foundat/ion
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The Alaska Community Foundation is a nonprofit public charity promoting personal
philanthropy and providing financial management, strategic development and donor
development services to communities, organizations and donors across Alaska. The Rasmuson
Foundation and the Alaska Community Foundation have started a 2008-2009 pilot project
developed for community asset building. The goal is to increase the capacity of local
communities to create permanent assets, cultivate local philanthropic leadership and further
sustain local nonprofits.
Seward can participate in this pilot project and start their own Sewazd Community Foundation.
In order to participate, Seward must raise $25,000 and complete the application by February 28,
2008. In return the Rasmuson Foundation will match these funds 2:1 for a gift of $50,000 and a
total of $75,000 unrestricted endowment funds. In addition, the Rasmuson Foundation will
award another $5,000 grant to a local Seward project. In 2009, the Sewazd Community
Foundation can raise another $25,000 and the Rasmuson Foundation will again match these
funds 2:1 for a gift of $50,000 and a total of $150,000 unrestricted endowment funds. If we
manage to raise the entire $150,000, the Rasmuson Foundation will provide another $5,000 grant
for a local Seward project. A local Boazd will be established to manage the Sewazd Community
Foundation grants and educate the community about local philanthropic leadership.
The Alaska Community Foundation will provide all administrative oversight for the Sewazd
Community Foundation. This allows the Seward Community Foundation the ability to fully
function with the expense of a staff and administrative costs. The funds are then thoughtfully
invested and management by the board of directors of the Seward Community Foundation.
Sepazate funds can be developed to include designated and non designated funds. Donors will
have the ability to specify what they want their funds to be used for or allow the Boazd to use
their best professional judgment to manage and grant funds to local community projects.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this resolufion is consistent with the Sewazd City Code, Charter,
Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
FISCAL NOTE:
Funding in the amount of $5,000 is available from the city council contingency fund.

From: Tim Barnum, Electric Utility Manager
Agenda Item: Payment of 2008 Alaska Power
Association Dues
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Alaska Power Association (formerly ARECA) is the organization representing telephone
and electric utilities in the State of Alaska. It is extremely important for the City of
Sewazd to meet and work with other electric utilities on common problems of all types
and have a voice on electrical issues on the local, state and national political arena. This
is the most valuable organization to which the City of Sewazd Electric Utility belongs.
The dues for 2008 are Seventeen Thousand Nine Hundred Eight dollazs ($17908.00) and
a Reserve Surchazge of Five Hundred two dollaz ($502.00). This brings the total amount
due to Eighteen Thousand Four Hundred Ten dollars ($18410.00).
The City of Sewazd dues for 2007 were Seventeen Thousand Three Hundred Seventeen
Dollars $17,317.00. The 2008 dues are Seventeen Thousand Nine Hundred Eight dollazs
($17908.00) an increase of One Hundred Seventy-seven Dollars ($591.00) and a reserve

This surchazge is being applied to all Active and Contributing Members of the trade
association.
The money is budgeted in account 501-5400-5130. Council approval is required since
the dues exceed Ten Thousand Dollazs ($10,000.00).

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEWARD, ALASKA, APPROPRIATING $65,000 FOR THE
PURCHASE OF A USED 1996 OSHKOSH SNOWBLOWER FROM
THE STATE OF ALASKA VEHICLE SURPLUS AUCTION
WHEREAS, it has been determined the 1978 snow blower currently owned by the City
of Seward has reached its reliable and useful life; and
WHEREAS, due to the limited availability of repair parts and the cost associated with
them it wouldn't be fiscally responsible to repair the 30 year old snow blower; and
WHEREAS, the State of Alaska has a 1996 Oshkosh snow blower with a "new" truck
loading chute attachment available for purchase through the D.O.T. surplus vehicle auction at a
price of $65,000; and
WHEREAS, a complete vehicle maintenance check of the 1996 snow blower found the
equipment to be in good working condition; and
WHEREAS, the cost to purchase a new snow blower would be in excess of $520,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA that:
Section 1. The City Manager is hereby authorized to spend an amount not-to-exceed
$65,000 for the purchase of the 1996 Oshkosh Snow Blower from the State of Alaska.

Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: January 28, 2008
To: Phillip Oates, City Manager ~~j
From: W.C. Casey, Public Works Director
Aeenda Item: Purchase of State Surplus Snow Blower
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
In 2007, the Public Works staff assessed the feasibility of attempting to repair the 1978 Snow Blower
that was purchased for $5,000 in the early 90's from the State Surplus Division. It has been
determined, that due to the difficulty in obtaining parts and keeping the machine in good working
order, that it is not cost effective to spend the $30,000-$50,000 to make this machine operable. It has
served its useful life and should not be put back into service.
Staff pursued the feasibility of purchasing a "new" snow blower by using the governmental piggy-
back provision and found the price for a snow blower to be in the $520,000 price range. Attempting
to be frugal, staff checked with the State Procurement Office and found a surplus blower for
$80,000. Further inquiries with the State Surplus folks indicated that the blower available was a
1996 Oshkosh Snow Blower and was located in the AKDOT maintenance yazd in Palmer. The
blower came from the Silvertip AKDOT maintenance station.
Two Public Works staff members traveled to Palmer to assess the machine and it was their
recommendation that the City look seriously at obtaining the machine. They also stopped at the
Silvertip maintenance yazd and discussed the machine with the mechanic that had maintained the
machine since it was purchased in 1996. It was his opinion that the machine s611 had several years of
service life and was currently in good working condition. It was only put into surplus because ofthe
State's vehicle and equipment replacement policy.
Staff consulted with the City Manager, called and asked the State to remove the snow blower from
the "public" list of State Surplus Items, and entered into nego6a6ons with Jack Fullerton, P.E., Chief
of Maintenance and Operations (Central Region). Staff negotiated the price down to $65,000 and
also convinced the State to throw in a brand new truck loading chute valued at $30,000. The
negotiations included the possibility of receiving the machine for free in exchange for assuming
responsibility for the winter maintenance of the 3b Avenue road and sidewalks from Port Avenue to
the SeaLife Center on Railway Avenue. Staff did not feel that this would be in the City's best
interest.
Staff has compiled an informational document that explains in more detail the rationale for the
acquisition of this 1996 "used" snow blower.

Shared Vision
for a
Comprehensive Study of
Alaska's Navigation Transportation System
Purpose:
To promote and facilitate a long term working relationship on collaborative efforts to
improve and develop a comprehensive Alaska Navigation Transportation System that supports
Alaska stakeholders participating at the State, Tribal, Federal and local levels that will identify the
challenges and opportunities to develop Alaska's economy; protect the environment; sustain
cultural resources; recognizing the political and geographical issues including international borders
with Russia and Canada.

of Engineers, Denali Commission, Native Alaska Villages, State of Alaska, Canadian Consulate,
US Coast Guard, US EPA, USFWS, National Park Service, and numerous Alaska Municipalities
and stakeholders collectively known as the Parties.
Goals:
We have established the following goals for our partnership:
• To express mutual commitment to comprehensive regional planning by working together to
encourage and facilitate the creation of an informal "Alaska Navigation Transportation
System Support Team."
• To learn and develop effective ways to work collaboratively asFederal, State, Native
Alaskan Tribes and local organizations in support of State and local efforts to solve
problems and maximize opportunities related to Alaska's Navigation Transportation
System needs.
• To develop a mutual understanding of Alaska's future navigation and transportation
problems and opportunities and values to focus on the development of mutually agreeable
solutions and approaches for Alaska's future.
• To work together to collaboratively support the economic development of the State of
Alaska and the Nation, to address the challenges and opportunities of climate change; to
promote safe passage and to facilitate "Ports of Refuge"; to protect the nation and future
homeland defense; and to fulfill the needs and goals of Native Alaska Villages.
Implementation:
We do herby declare our intent to work together in support of a comprehensive Alaska
Regional Navigation Transportation System Study. We agree in principle that solutions to the
complex water resources problems, issues and opportunities facing Alaska require the

consider changes that might be needed. Amendments will be made in the spirit of cooperation
and partnership by agreement of the signatories. It will remain effective until the Parties agree to
terminate it by consensus.

City of Seward, Alaska
Monthly Budget Report
For the Month ended December, 2007
Please find attached, the Preliminary revenue and expenditure (expense) data for the City's
General Fund and the Harbor, SMIC, Electric, Water, and Wastewater Enterprise Funds. The
information contained in these reports does not reflect year-end adjustments necessary to account
for transactions in the appropriate accounting period. For example, it may not yet reflect bills
paid in January but which aze appropriately classified as December transactions, such as utility
and heating bills, communications bills, contracted services, etc. The first pay period in January
includes salaries and benefits which aze attributed to December, and those transactions have yet
to be accrued back into December, and are therefore understated. Therefore, expenditure data is
likely understated in the 2007 total expenditure column.
In addition, the report may include revenues which are more appropriately classified as 2008
transactions, but which have not yet been moved to the proper accounting period. For example,
harbor moorage fees may be received in December, but are paid in advance for 2008, and must
therefore be classified as deferred revenue (a liability account) rather than as a revenue. These
adjustments have not yet been made. Interest revenues are reflected in the General Fund until
such time as they are allocated to the various Enterprise Funds based on each fund's pro-rata
month-end cash balances, so interest revenues in the General Fund are currently over-stated.
Revenues appearing in the General Fund with the title "Passenger Transit Fees" reflect the
State's cruise ship tax collected prior to July, 2007, and remitted to the City of Seward. Amore
up-to-date financial report will be presented to the City Council upon completion of the close-out
of the City's financial records.
The City's annual financial audit is currently scheduled to take place from March 24 through
April 4, 2008. The independent accounting firm of Mikunda, Cottrell, and Co. will be onsite
during this time to perform their audit field work. Upon completion of field work, the staff has
an additional 30 days in which to complete the final annual financial report, which will be
presented to the City Council at a regular meeting within 30 days after completion of the audit.
This year's audit is expected to entail significantly more work associated with documenting,
reviewing, monitoring, and reporting on the City's internal control framework, and this is
expected to be an area of focus in discussions with the City Council upon completion of the
audit.
If you have questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact Kristin
Erchinger, Finance Director, at (907)224-4064, or by e-mail at kerchin~cr(c~cityofseward.net.
