From: Donna Glenz, Planning Assistant
Agenda Item: Amending the Land Use Plan and rezoning of Lots 20, 21 and
22, Clearview Subdivision Number 6 from Two Family
Residential (R2) to Auto Commercial (AC)
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: oo3
Attached for City Council review and adoption is Ordinance 2008-: amending the
Land Use Plan and Rezoning of Lots 20, 21, and 22, Clearview subdivision Number 6
from Two Family Residential (R2) to Auto Commercial (AC) (as attached hereto)
The applicant is requesting this rezone in order to provide land suitable for future
commercial uses allowed within the Auto Commercial District. Lots 20, 21 and 22 are
currently vacant land approximately one one third (1.3) acre. SCC §15.01.035,
Amendments, (b) (3) allows the consideration of this rezone as the area is contiguous to
the requested zoning district and is greater than one (1) acre in area.
The large, approximately 2 acre Tract A, directly to the East, currently zoned Auto
Commercial is owned by the CIRI Corporation and contains a warehouse and parking lot
used to support the CIRI/Kenai Fjords Tours harbor tour business. The parcels to the
North across Resurrection Boulevard are presently zoned Two Family Residential (R2)
and contain generally single family homes. The 9 lots to the Northwest are currently
zoned Two Family Residential (R2), presently undeveloped and for the most part owned
by the applicant, Leirer Enterprises. The large approximately 15 acre Tract 5 to the
South and Southwest is zoned Resource Management, is currently undeveloped land
owned by the applicant, Leiter Enterprises.
In order for the lots to be rezoned, the underlying Land Use Plan will also have to be
amended. The Land Use Plan adopted with the 2020 Seward Comprehensive Plan
recommends this area be rezoned to Two Family Residential (R2). However the area
contiguous to Lots 21, 22 and 23 on the East, is recommended to remain Auto
Commercial and a large portion of Tract 5 to the South is recommended to be rezoned to
Auto Commercial.
SCC 15.05.025. Land use districts --Established, definitions
a) Established. The city is hereby divided into land use districts which shall be
bounded and defined as shown on the official land use map. This official map, together
with all explanatory matter thereon, as exhibited at the time of public hearing, is hereby
adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter.
The current zoning of the area requested for rezone is Two Family Residential (R2)
defined in SCC 15.05.025 (b). as (3) Medium density (one to seven dwelling units per
acre) transitional housing area with a mix of single and two-family units, free from other
uses except those which are both compatible and convenient to residents of such a
district.
The requested Zoning and Land Use Map change of the area for rezone is Auto
Commercial (AC) defined in SCC 15.05.025 (b). as (8) Intended to provide areas to
accommodate highway oriented commercial activities such as offices, certain
institutional uses, and limited personal services and retail uses requiring substantial
outdoor activity, traffic and parking, and which also serve the offices and nearby
residential areas, and which do not materially detract from nearby residential areas.
The applicant and owner of the Lots 20, 21 and 22 requested for rezone has had the land
available for sale as is currently zoned Two-family Residential for some time. The
applicant has received an offer on the land and a request for the rezone from the adjoining
property owner to the east. As stated in the applicant's application, Kenai Fjords
Tours/CIRI (owner of Tract A, to the east) hopes to expand their current customer
parking and storage building by purchasing Lots 20, 21 and 22, Clearview Subdivision
Number 6.
Recognizing the primary concern of all zoning actions is to promote public health, safety
and general welfare (SCC 15.01.010), Community Development recommends this rezone
for several reasons:
1. This rezone will allow for the maximum use of Lots 20, 21 and 22, Clearview
Subd. No. 6 by allowing the increased development of the Auto Commercial
Tract A to the East.
2. There are limitations involved with attempting to prioritize community needs
and desires with the land use needs for two family homes verses other
activities. At this time the community has a very limited selection of land
available for commercial development within close proximity to the Seward
Small Boar Harbor, whereas more options are available for land for two
family homes.
The electric department noted current electrical infrastructure may not be adequate for
commercial development. The applicant was made aware of this concern.
At the time of Planning and Zoning Public Hearing four public concerns were submitted
for consideration. One citizen voiced concern for increased traffic and public safety on
Phoenix Road due to ingress and egress at lots 20 and 21. This concern will be mitigated
through note 4 of the Subdivision Plat, which states "Driveway locations for Lots 20 and
21 require approval by the City of Seward prior to construction." Another resident
voiced concern over the possibility of future commercial development moving further
into the residential zoning district. One commissioner noted that this concern can be
lessened by the 20 and 30 foot utility easement on the northwest lot lines, between these
lots proposed for Auto Commercial zoning and the adjacent lots in residential zoning. A
third member of the public voiced concern over increased noise and traffic, stating,
"There is sufficient land outside of town without crowding into residential
neighborhoods."
Noise and traffic concerns have been addressed above, and the City staff does not support
encouraging commercial businesses to locate outside of the City. Another person
expressed concerns related to recent flooding issues in the area, and possible
contamination resulting from vehicle storage in a flood risk area. This concern was
addressed in Note 3 of the Subdivision Plat, stating that if a lot is located within a FEMA
designated flood hazard area, "development must comply with City of Seward Floodplain
Management Regulations. A survey to determine the elevation of the property may be
required prior to development."

PLANNING AND ZONING REVIEW
At the February 19, 2008 Planning and Zoning meeting the Commission approved
Resolution 2008-01 recommending City Council adopt Ordinance 2008-XX, amending
the Land Use Plan and Rezoning of Lots 20, 21 and 22, Clearview Subdivision Number 6

subject to review were notified of the proposed rezone and amendment to the Land Use
Plan. Members of the public attended the meeting and voiced the above concerns to the
Planning and Zoning Commission.

Subject: RE -ZONING APPLICATION, Lots 20, 21, and 22 Clearview Subdivision, N. 6
Attached is the Steve Leirer/Leiner Enterprises LLC application to rezone three lots from
R-2 to Auto Commercial (AC). The lots are 20, 21, and 22; Clear view subdivision N. 6
(Plat Map attached).
The lots adjoin property that is currently zoned AC and is in use by Kenai Fjords
Tours/CIRI as a warehouse and parking lot to support their harbor tour business. Re-
zoning would be a continuation of existing zoning. The three lots are greater than one
acre in area. Refer to attached letter subject: "CIRI Alaska Tourism Corp. Kenai Fjords
Tours' purchase of Lots 20, 21 and 22.
South of Phoenix Road, south of lots 20, 21, and 22, and the adjoining CIRI property, is
Track -5, which is selected under the 2010 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN as Auto
Commercial. The lots 20, 21, and 22 are currently zoned as R-2 and project between and
into AC Zoning on two sides as illustrated by the Comprehensive Plan map. (See land use
map attached) Rezoning Lots 20, 21, and 22 to Auto Commercial will provide a more
compatible and less intrusive transition between the Auto Commercial and R-2 zoning.
Rezoning would merely alter and smooth out existing, contiguous zoning. On the west
side, R-2 Lots, 19 and 23, under new rezoning would be bound by AC on one side. Lots
19 and 23 are owned by Leirer and will not to be offered for sale until after rezoning is
completed, thus insuring that potential buyers will be aware of and agreeable to
residence adjacent to Auto Commercial. This rezoning is consistent and allowed under
Code 15.05.020, Land Use Plan -Purpose: "Such a classification system should provide a
balanced, compatible land use mix in order to separate incompatible uses and minimize
conflict between land uses." The proposed rezone is consistent with the surrounding
land uses and would accomplish this goal.
Since the harbor area, a key to economic development, is becoming more developed and
congested, there is a logical need for development to spread outside of the harbor area.
The current options are for development to spread: 1) south into town along the
waterfront and into areas south of the Lagoon, 2) north, outside the City Limits to mile
three along the Seward Highway, or 3) west toward Tract 5, and Lots 20, 21, and 22.
Rezoning some Auto Commercial property adjacent to Ciri's Auto Commercial property
is appropriate, as opposed to asking CIRI to expand into a non -adjacent area, or outside
City of Seward
Page 2
the city limits. Adjusting the zoning for lots 20, 21, and 22 is compatible to the land use
plan and is in this instance a sensible selection for development outside the harbor area.
Additional Auto Commercial development would add to the private tax base within the
city limits. Rezoning to a higher and best use increases the business property tax base.
There has been a loss of private tax base within the city limits: as shown by the loss of
business zoning to the downtown multi agency facility, and the AC property lost to the
Seward Highway for a pedestrian under -pass. Additions to AC zoning help offset this
trend. A shortage of commercial property inside the City has resulted in development
along the Seward Highway beyond mile three and on Nash Road. It is important to the
community to maintain the private tax base inside the City Limits; and to insure
maximum and best use of land inside the City. Changing zoning on Lots 20, 21, and 22
would be consistent with this goal.
Auto Commercial zoning does not materially detract from nearby R-2 and R-1 neighbor
hoods on the North side. Resurrection Boulevard on the north side provides a separation
barrier between residences, and the existing Auto Commercial property at CIlU's facility
and the lots proposed for re -zoning.
There will be little impact on traffic patterns in the area. Traffic from the CHU facility
currently accesses the Seward Highway from Phoenix Road on the south side.
On the south side of Lots 20 and 21, there are no residences, as it is bordered by
Phoenix Road and Tract 5. On the east side, Lots 21 and 22 are adjacent to the CIRI
property.
We believe that the rezoning is in the best interest of the community. It is our goal to
insure that future development is done in a responsible manner that would benefit all
concerned.
Very truly yours,
Leirer Enterprises LLC

Subject: CIRI Alaska Tourism Corp (Kenai Fjords Tours) Purchase and Sales Agreement
for Lots 20, 21, and 22; Clearview Subdivision No 6, zoned as Auto Commercial.
Kenai Fjords Tours parent company CIRI Alaska Tourism Corp has executed a Purchase
and Sales Agreement with Leirer Enterprises LLC confirming CHU's intent to purchase
Lots 20, 21, and 22, dependant upon the lots being rezoned to Auto Commercial.
Lots 20, 21, and 22 would be added to their existing auto commercial facility, now in use
as customer parking and a storage building. CHU has the need for this property as its
business needs expand. CHU's growth as mentioned in the Anchorage Daily News on
December 13, 2007 (copy attached), with its tours, lodging, restaurant, and the supporting
activities is important to the economy of the Seward area.
CHU interests in these lots emphasize the need for more commercial land to support the
harbor development, as I have outlined in my application letter.
CIRI's current use of its existing facilities is known to the Seward community and
neighbors in the Clearview area; and has been compatible and acceptable to the public.
Currently all traffic to the warehouse and parking area is on the east and south side of
Phoenix Road. CHU's acquisition of these Lots will not change traffic patterns.
Rezoning and use by CIRI will not change the effect on the neighbors on Resurrection
Road.
The Lots zoned as auto commercial will generate twice the KPB Tax valuation over the
current R-2 zoning. Holding the status or increasing valuations for property tax is
important for the public and City, as there is the trend for budgets to go up, assessed
valuations to shift outside the city limits, and the loss of higher value property to non-
taxable entities. The City and the public need the increase in the `business assessed
valuations' to keep home owner taxes as reasonable as possible.
Sincerely
eY`VU"

Monthly Budget Report
For the Month ended December, 2007
312y 16Y
We are pleased to provide this Preliminary budget report for the month ended December, 2007.
The intent of this report is to improve the transparency of financial and budgetary reporting for
the City, and to present information in a format that combines narrative and graphical elements,
to make it easier to understand. The report includes the following components: 1) the narrative
report explains the highlights of financial results for the General Fund; 2) cash balances in all
City funds; and 3) risk area assessment. This monthly report includes data for the City's General
Fund and the Harbor, SMIC, Electric, Water, Wastewater, and Parking Enterprise Funds. It
excludes the preliminary list of unbudgeted operational needs, since we have reached the end of
the year, as well as the list of supplemental appropriations. 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. For
example, 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 table is provided which shows the extent
to which each General Fund department is tracking with budgetary projections.
The City's annual financial audit is scheduled to begin on March 24 and will conclude on April
4, 2008. The independent accounting firm of Mikunda, Cottrell and Co. will be onsite during
this time to perform the audit field work. After field work is complete, staff has an additional 30
days to complete the final annual financial report, which will be presented to the City Council at
a regular meeting within 30 days of 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 finance
director Kristin Erchinger at (907)224-4064, or by e-mail at kerchinger@cityofseward.net.

This graph presents the monthly distribution of all revenues of the General Fund, which includes
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.
Overall, General Fund revenues ended the year $284,614 or 3.14% over the total budget of
$9,074,884. The primary source of revenue for the City is tax revenue. Preliminary sales tax
figures show revenues of $4,012,319, reflecting an increase of 7.7% over budget, and an increase
of $493,884 over 2006. The primary reason for the increase is due to higher retail sales, which is
attributed, in part, to the new per -person, per -day accounting for sales tax on tour boat
operations. Property tax revenues came in at $861,434 which is 3.26% above budget, and an
increase of $13,559 from the prior year. Bed tax came in at $343,162, representing an increase
of $32,592 over 2006, and coming in over budget by 6.9%. Another primary category of
revenue is General Government revenues which came in 0.25% over budget, or $4,163 over the
budget of $1,675,085. Special revenues came in under budget by $313,315, primarily due to
State PERS funding coming in much lower than projected.

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 due to snow removal operations.

Overall, General Fund expenditures ended the year 3.7% lower than budgeted, coming in
$338,499 below the annual budget of $9,173,239. The primary savings in expenditures was in
the salary and benefit category, coming in 4.8% lower than budget due primarily to a modest
level of staffing vacancies, plus lower than projected PERS payments having to do with
recording only one-half of the State's PERS contributions for 2007, based on the difference in
the State and City's fiscal years.
Graph 5 shows that compared to 2006, the current year is higher in most cost categories (other
than general and administrative, capital and debt, and benefits). Salary and benefit costs
represent 62.1% of the entire General Fund budget in 2007. The increase in benefits in 2006 was
due to the payoff of PERS hospital liabilities.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS:
Attached you will find revenue and expense information for each of the enterprise funds at the
end of the year. Of particular note is the fact that debt service principal and capital outlay costs
have been capitalized at the end of the year. This means that debt service principal does not
appear as an expense in these reports, because it has been reclassified against the debt service
liability on the Balance Sheet. Likewise, capital outlay has been capitalized as a fixed asset, and
no longer appears as an expense in these reports. For that reason, it will necessarily appear as
though expenses in the enterprise funds are considerably lower than budget, even though that is
not technically the case.

CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
ORDINANCE 2008-004
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA, AMENDING SEWARD CITY CODE 6.10.325(a) AND 6.10.135,
LIMITING CITY BUSINESS LICENSE REQUIREMENTS TO
SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS/PROPOSERS
WHEREAS, Seward City Code 6.10.325(a) requires competitive sealed proposals to
have evidence of a city business license included with their proposals; and
WHEREAS, this process makes every competitive bidder acquire a Seward business
license and Kenai Peninsula Borough tax registration, regardless if they never do business on the
Peninsula; and
WHEREAS, this process not only puts all competitive bidders/proposers of Seward
projects at a time and paperwork disadvantage, it is cumbersome and wastes processing time for
the Kenai Peninsula Borough tax registration desk, by registering everyone, only to have to
remove all unsuccessful bidders/proposers after the notice of intent is awarded; and
WHEREAS, this city business license requirement is now listed under "Article 3
Alternate Procurement Procecures", but not listed under "Article 2, Competitive Sealed bids';
and
WHEREAS, SCC 6.01.050 (a) also specifies payment of city business license fees,
among others, must be paid before any contract is awarded; and
WHEREAS, adding the proposed language into SCC 6.10.135, will incorporate this
important requirement to all of Title 6.10, Major Purchases, including both successful bidders
and proposers; and
WHEREAS, slight language changes proposed below to this code will meet the City's
original intent of the code, and both assist with the burdens of the process for competitive
bidders and the Kenai Peninsula Borough tax registration office, while still satisfying the City of
Seward's need to have the successful bidder/proposer on all projects obtain a city business
license before awarding of a contract.
CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
ORDINANCE 2008-004

evidence of a valid Alaska business license, eity business reon&e contractor's license and

paid before any contract is awarded.
Our city code under 6.10.325(a) requires that any proposals received, must contain a valid city
business license, among other requirements. With RFP's normally being out for a two week period
of time, this puts potential proposers at a disadvantage timewise to obtain this license within such a
short period of time. It also puts an undue burden on the Kenai Peninsula Borough tax registration
desk.
By taking the city business license requirement out of 6.10.325(a), and putting that language into
6.10.135, this will make the requirement for a city business license mandatory for not only RFP
proposers, but competitive sealed bidders as well. It also shifts this requirement from ALL
proposers/bidders to only the SUCCESSFUL proposers/bidders.
EXAMPLE OF KPB BURDEN
Once a person applies in the Borough's new system, that becomes a permanent registration. Later
down the road, when all the unsuccessful proposers never do business, or never file returns, this
triggers a collection process with the Borough where fees are accruing. Once the unsuccessful
proposer finds out, another process begins to reverse the action. Only one proposer will win the
contract. The way our code is written now, forces every proposer to register with the Borough for
sales tax collection plus get a city business license, regardless if they win the contract or not.
During our last major bid process, many phone calls have transpired back and forth with the Kenai
Peninsula Borough tax registration desk because of this issue. A simple language change to SCC
6.10.325(a) and 6.10.135, should assist with this issue.
INTENT: Clarifies this requirement is for both proposals and competitive sealed bids. Streamlines
our processes for competitive bidders/proposers on City projects, and show cooperation with the
Kenai Peninsula Borough tax registration and their processes, while still satisfying the City of
Seward's requirement to have any successful proposer/bidder obtain a city business license prior to
an issuance of a "Notice to Proceed" on a project.
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.

Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: March 24, 2008
To: Mayor Corbridge, City Council
From: Jean Lewis, City Clerk
Agenda Item: APOC Financial Disclosure Form Ballot
Proposition
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Since APOC financial disclosure form requirements were recently amended, the city has fielded
numerous complaints from elected officials, board and commission members, and `would be' public
candidates, that the new requirements are too intrusive, would be posted on the Internet, contain too
much vital information that promotes identity theft, and gives unfair competitive advantages for
candidates' businesses. A business owner informing potential clients that they have to disclose their
personal information on the APOC financial disclosure forms, could discourage that client from
doing business with that owner, just because they have volunteered to be on the city council or
boards and commissions. The City of Seward has seen one resignation from the Seward Planning &
Zoning Commission, with more threatening to follow. Two potential candidates have declined
volunteering after seeing these forms.
The new forms require a potential elected or appointed official to now list all funds received over
$1000. Every member also must fill out "exit" applications. There has been talk this information
will be posted on the internet in 2009.
These new requirements have created a hardship for our town to appoint good qualified volunteers
for our council and boards and commissions. AS 39.50.145 states;
"A municipality may exempt its municipal officers from the
requirements of this chapter if a majority of the voters voting on the
question at a regular election, as defined by AS 29.71.800(20), or a
special municipality -wide election, vote to exempt its municipal officers
from the requirements of this chapter. The question of exemption from
the requirements of this chapter may be submitted by the city council or
borough assembly by ordinance or b initiative election"
➢ The Alaska Municipal League (AML) passed resolution 2008-15 on November 9, 2007,
which asked the state legislature to address these amendments, based on the fact elected and
appointed bodies were having difficulties finding candidates, and that the financial reporting
requirements were compounding that problem : Ina 3/12/08 phone conversation
with Kathie Wasserman, Director of AML, she stated she had spoke with State Legislators,
APOC board members and the Attorney General, but none of them were willing to relax
these rules because of the current political atmosphere within the state. Wasserman was
positive nothing would be done this legislative session, and urged people to contact their
legislators about this problem.
➢ Around half of Alaska's 200+ communities have already voted to be exempt from state
disclosure requirements. This list is also 004.
In polling other city clerks recently, we have found;
➢ per a Feb 19 council meeting, Delta is having an ordinance drafted to exempt them from the
requirements because of the intrusiveness of the forms.
➢ Sitka is not pleased with the new requirements, and would be putting an exemption to the
voters this fall.
➢ Both Wasilla and Ketchikan Gateway Borough clerks were not sure this would pass in their
communities because of the recent climate of impropriety with Juneau lawmakers.
➢ Kodiak had opted out years ago (1976), and I have , . a copy of their financial
disclosure form that they require for public viewing.
➢ The city clerk in Juneau had contacted Brooke Miles with APOC on this very question, and
below was the response back;
To clarify the concern regarding the posting of municipal financial disclosure statements online, I believe that
the legislation passed last year (HB 109 - and I'm looking it up as I type this) that only municipalities with a
population of more than 5,000 will be required to file online. It will be the online filing that creates the database
for online viewing. This section of the law takes effect January 1, 2009. As you are most likely aware, we do
not have the technology for receiving electronically filed statements this year, but it will be ready in time for the
2009 annual statement and the 2009 October elections. I have heard concerns from many municipalities are
considering placing on the October 8, 2008 election ballots the proposal to opt out of financial disclosure filing
under AS 39.50 (which is permitted in accordance with AS 30.50.145) and enacting, by ordinance, their own
financial disclosure requirements based on the state law before the HB 109 amendments. One of the issues
that remains to be resolved is the matter of the records custodian. Under AS 39.50.020(b), municipal clerks
are the custodian for the municipal filings (as you are well aware). I'm uncertain of how this relates to
electronic filing. I intend to ask the department of law for guidance on this issue, and we shall do our diligent
best to keep municipal clerks on top of these discussions.
Although it has been rumored and spoke of above, of having these forms available on the internet,
but only to city's with populations of 5000 or less, this could not be substantiated by press time.
In your discussion, you may decide to opt out and put this on the ballot for October. if so, you may
also decide what the city's requirements for disclosure should be to prevent conflicts of interest, to
help assure the integrity of the decision -making process, and to assist holding our public officials
accountable. If approved by the voters, a local disclosure form like Kodiak's could be instituted later
to provide adequate safeguards for the public.

INTENT: To put this issue to voters in October so the City can continue to elect and appoint

business interests, but establish our own guidelines that are not as intrusive as the state requirements
of AS 39.50.

financial disclosure.
ALASKA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
RESOLUTION #2008-15
A RESOLUTION URGING THE ALASKA STATE LEGISLATURE TO RECOGNIZE
AMENDMENTS TO AS. 39.50 SO THAT DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS ARE
APPROPRIATE FOR LOCAL ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS
WHEREAS, as AS. 39.50, governing Alaska Public Offices Commission (APOC) has been amended to include several
new rules retroactive to the proceeding calendar year, that apply to elected and appointed municipal officials; and
WHEREAS, municipalities and their respective elected and appointed officials did not have an opportunity to review
and comment on the changes; and
WHEREAS, APOC has not yet published any guidelines or a manual for candidates to adhere to the new regulations;
and
WHEREAS, new rules now require financial statements for public officials as they exit office and are retroactively
instituted; and
WHEREAS, the general public and many candidates for public office have not been clearly informed or made aware
of these changes; and
WHEREAS, it is well-known that local elected and appointed bodies, including planning boards and commissions
are having difficulties finding candidates to serve and these new financial reporting requirements have compounded
the situation; and
WHEREAS, new regulations state that completed APOC Public Official Financial Disclosure Statements shall be
published on the internet and will include publication of total amounts of income naming each source and identification
of the names of minor children.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Alaska Municipal League urges the State Legislature to recognize
amendments to AS. 39.50 so that disclosure requirements are appropriate for local elected and appointed officials.

Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: March 24, 2008
From: Karin Sturdy, Parks & Recreation Director
Through: Phillip Oates, City Manager
Agenda Item: Hoben Park Fountain Proposals
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The City of Seward received two proposals for the fabrication and installation of the Hoben Park
historic replica fountain. Proposals were received from AC General Contractor, LLC and Harmon
Construction, Inc., and both proposals were found to be responsive and qualified.
The proposals were reviewed by a committee of four, including: Stefan Nilsson, Mark Stauble, Richard
Adelmann and Karin Sturdy. The review committee reviewed and scored the proposals on six basic
criteria: 1.) Clarity of the Proposal, worth 5%; 2.) Performance, Experience, and Quality of work in
Providing Services of a Similar Nature, worth 30%; 3.) Historic Replica, worth 30%; 4.) The Proposer's
Organizational Structure (including financial stability) Equipment and Personnel Qualifications &
Resources Available for Performance of the Agreement and timeliness of similar projects, worth 5%; 5.)
Additional Services That May Be Provided by the Proposer, worth 5%; and item 6.) Cost to the City,
worth 25%. The reviewers awarded points for each of the first five criteria, for a total possible 75 out of
100 points.
After scoring the proposals, the fee proposals were opened separately. There were a total of 25 "fee"
points available, with the lowest -bidding firm receiving all 25 points. The other firm's score was based
on a ratio of their fee to the lowest fee, multiplied by 25. This methodology was used in order to score
the more subjective portion of the proposals without knowledge of the bid price, to provide a more fair
scoring process.
There were 100 total points available in the scoring process. Harmon received the highest overall score
with 88.5 points, while AC General received 51.07 points out of a total possible 100 points.
It is our opinion that Harmon is the most qualified firm to perform the Hoben Park fountain project
based on the outcome of the RFP process, their extensive list of local projects, and their familiarity and
positive history with the City of Seward.

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. Other:

RESOLUTION 2008-024
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN
AGREEMENT WITH WORTHINGTON FORD FOR THE PURCHASE OF A
2008 F-550 4X4 SERVICE TRUCK, FOR AN AMOUNT NOT -TO -EXCEED
$63,000.00
WHEREAS, during the 2006 budget process, the Seward City Council authorized the
purchase of a replacement vehicle, however, time didn't allow; and
WHEREAS, the existing vehicle is in need of expensive repairs and not operational and the
vehicle was scheduled for replacement two years ago; and
WHEREAS, replacement is necessary to ensure reliable transportation, regain consistency in
the electric department's vehicle replacement schedule; and
WHEREAS, it is in the interest of public safety to provide reliable response vehicles to the
Electric Utility in order to timely respond to outages and accidents; and
WHEREAS, Seward City Code 6.10.120(b) authorizes the City to utilize competitive bids
received from other governmental entities, and the City of Seward intends to utilize the State's fleet
bid to purchase this vehicle.
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 enter into an agreement with
Worthington Ford for the purchase of a 2008 F-550 4x4 truck for an amount not -to -exceed
$63,000.00.
Section 2. The City Council hereby finds it in the public's interest to authorize the City to
utilize competitive bids obtained by the State of Alaska, as authorized in Seward City Code
6.10.120(b).
Section 3. Funding for the purchase of this vehicle will come from the motor pool fund
equipment account no. 102-1020-5930.
Section 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Council of the City of Seward, Alaska, this 24th day of
March, 2008.
Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: March 24, 2009
Through: Phillip Oates, City Manager
From: Tim Barnum, Electric Utility Manager
Agenda Item: Approval to Purchase a Replacement Vehicle
Utilizing the State of Alaska Bid Process
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
During the 2006 Budget process, the City Council approved the purchase of a
replacement vehicle for our Linecrew. However, time did not allow purchasing a
replacement. This resolution requests authorization to purchase a 2008 Ford F-550 4x4,
diesel at a cost not -to -exceed $63,000.00. The current vehicle is a 1999 Ford F250. The
existing vehicle is in need an expensive repair that exceeds the value of the vehicle. The
vehicle is not operational in its current condition.
Seward City Code 6.10.120(B), allows the City to utilize competitive bids obtained by
other governmental agencies. The City utilized the bids obtained by the State of Alaska.
Utilizing the State of Alaska bids not only saved valuable time for staff but we believe
that the price is better than we would have received by bidding for one vehicle.
Replacement of the current vehicle helps maintain reliable transportation for department
employees and is consistent with our departmental replacement schedule. The 1999 Ford
trucks have been very problematic since they were purchased. There have been
numerous recalls from the factory as well as reoccurring problems, such as front ends and
brakes. This is the last 1999 Ford vehicle that we have.
The new vehicle will be a heavier duty rated vehicle which should alleviate some of the
past problems, reduce maintenance cost and extend the life of the vehicle, allowing for
possible value remaining at the time of its scheduled replacement.
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.

RESOLUTION 2008-025
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA, SUBMITTING A PROPOSITION TO THE QUALIFIED VOTERS
AT THE OCTOBER 7, 2008 REGULAR MUNICIPAL ELECTION WHICH
SHALL AMEND THE SEWARD CITY CHARTER, SECTION 5.4 (d),
SECTION 6.2 AND 6.3 TO REQUIRE A BIENNIAL BUDGET CYCLE
WHEREAS, the City of Seward currently operates under an annual budget cycle; and
WHEREAS, in the past two years during budget discussions, the City Council expressed an
interest in moving to a biennial budget process in order to provide more opportunity for staff and
Council to focus on longer -term strategic and financial planning projects; and
WHEREAS, this same proposition came before the voters in the 2006 regular municipal
election, but failed to be adopted; and
WHEREAS, the Charter would be changed to require approval of a biennial, rather than
annual, budget, in order to make more effective use of scarce time and resources; and
WHEREAS, the modification of Charter language to mandate a biennial budget process
would not allow discretion to select between a one-year or two-year budget, but would instead
mandate a two-year budget; and
WHEREAS, this resolution would provide the basis upon which to approve a future
ordinance amendment to SSC 2.20.035(9) and 2.25.045 (3) changing the reference from annual
budget to biennial budget; and
WHEREAS, if the voters approve the Charter change, an ordinance would be introduced to
the City Council to make corresponding and necessary changes to Chapter 5.05 of the Seward City
Code; and
WHEREAS, a biennial budget process would allow council and staff to focus on long term
fiscal planning rather than short term budget preparation, and thus, stabilize rate increases for its
citizens.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA that:
Section 1. The city council hereby proposes that if approved by voters at the October 7, 2008

Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: March 24, 2008
To: Mayor, City Council
From: Jean Lewis, City Clerk
Kris Erchinger, Finance Director
Agenda Item: Charter Changes to require a biennial rather than
annual budget
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
During the 2006 budget process, the City Council indicated a desire to pursue a biennial budget cycle
rather than the current practice of producing an annual budget. The budget cycle is stipulated in the
City's Charter, and a modification to the Charter requires a vote of the people. This proposition was
voted down in 2006.
With the struggled passage of the 2008 annual city budget, the city council again expressed an
interest in a biennial budget for various reasons. Therefore, we are again seeking Council
authorization to present a proposition to the voters at the October 7, 2008 election, in substantially
the same form as approved at this Council meeting. This proposition seeks to modify the Charter to
require a biennial, rather than annual, budget.
On every even year of a biennial budget process, the City Council is asked to approve the budget for
the next two years (the next odd year and even year). At the end of the first year, the Council and
administration would engage in a thorough review of the second years' budget, making adjustments
necessary to reflect unforeseen revenues and expenditures. Council approval of the modifications
would then constitute the AUTHORIZED budget for year two.
If the voters approve the proposed Charter changes, the administration will then submit subsequent
Ordinance change recommendations to the Council, to reflect the wishes of the voters, and officially
modify the City Charter.
INTENT: To change the City Charter to require a biennial rather than annual budget process.
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:
Changing to a biennial budget process will reduce the amount of time spent by the Council and the
administration in preparing annual budgets. Presently, the process of completing an annual budget
from beginning to end, takes approximately 5 months. A biennial budget process would be much
more efficient, and afford more time for staff and Council to focus on long-term fiscal planning
rather than on short-term budget preparation.
Approved by Finance Department:
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend city council pass Resolution 2008-025, requiring a biennial rather than annual budget
cycle, and placing this issue before the voters as a Proposition, at the October 7, 2008 regular city
election.

Jolund Luther, spoke of the APOC financial disclosure statement that was needed to apply

Point road while running the loader. He was able to climb out the window and was safe. A
rough estimate of damage was between $4-5,000.00. This incident reinstituted the
importance of a spotter. Oates stated the new diesel mechanic gave his notice as the private
sector was paying more money for entry level mechanics than the City. The front hydraulic
motors failed on the new snow blower and needed to be repaired for $18,000. Potholes
would be patched as soon as dry weather allowed. Oates was also looking into some flood

Electric Util *pmanagers were putting together a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
which stated; "as railbelt utilities, we support, in concept, the study of economic feasibility and the
Governor's model to form an entitythat would own transmission lines, generation assets, etc. on the
railbelt, with the option to eventually expand out if these ever became connected."
Barnum wanted council support to participate in this initiative to forward to the Governor's
Office to address this question once and for all. He did not think there were any downsides to
signing the MOU. This just allowed the City to look into the process, and have a voice at the table.
So far the only financial cost was the manager's time.

City Council Minutes
Volume 37. Pave
Kevin Clark, would have done away with the sales tax cap altogether. With Anchorage not
having a tax at all, he felt people would go to Anchorage to shop. Most city rates and fees had been
increased, cost of general living expenses, fuel charges, etc. had all increased lately. Clark thought it
was too expensive to live here. He owned rentals and thought he would have a high vacancy rate
because of all the increases. He wanted council to know it was hard to recap expenses by raising
rents because people could not pay for it. Clark felt the only people living here would be
government employees or assisted living. Seward was losing its population in the last few years and
was not attracting families. He appreciated Bardarson's comments on increFi° .
asi#itsiness instead of
taxes.
Theresa Butts, felt the city was constrained by the borough neeNyelces
