Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: May 26, 2009
To: City Council
Through: Phillip Oates, City Manage
Agenda Item: Resolution 2009-~~Submitting an Advisory Ballot Proposition to the
Qualified Voters at the October/o, 2009 Regular Municipal Election
Regarding Whether Fluoride Should Be Added to the City of Seward
Water
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Providence, the City of Seward, and other health and wellness entities have met to discuss how to
improve the health and wellness of the Seward community. This Wellness For All initiative
originated with the 2008 publication of the Seward Region's Community Needs Assessment,
sponsored by Providence. The Wellness For All Group's overarching goal is to improve wellness in
the Seward community. Four sub-groups have been created focusing on Smoking Cessation, Obesity,
Increasing Awareness of Programs and Opportunities Available in the Community (and improving
access to healthcare), and Improving Oral Health.
The fluoride issue has gathered a lot of attention both in favor and in opposition to putting fluoride in
the City of Seward water. Based on extensive research, the United States Public Health Service
(USPHS) established the optimum concentration for fluoride in the United States in the range of 0.7
to 1.2 parts per million. Fluoridation of community water supplies involves the addition of fluoride
to the public water supply to an optimal level to reduce the incidence of tooth decay.
On March 9, 2009, SGS (City's certified lab) conducted a standard water test for fluoride. This test
did not detect fluoride in the Seward City water. A standard water test measures levels at 0.1 parts
per million and higher.
On April 13, 2009, a Seward Fluoridation Study was conducted by Michael L. Foster & Associates,
Ina This study addresses fluoride forms, corrosion, chemical feed, regulatory requirements, code
compliance, operator certification, costs, and fluoride removal. According to this study, the
approximate costs of fluoridating the water are $130,000 for capital costs and $24,000 for annual
costs. The Indian Health Service may contribute up to 21 % of the capital infrastructure costs.
If Resolution 2009-~ passes this would place the fluoride issue on the October f~, 2009 ballot
allowing the qualified voters of the City of Seward to advise the Council on whether fluoride should
or should not be added to the City of Seward water. This is an advisory vote and is non binding on
the Council decision.

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.

FISCAL NOTE:
There is no initial cost to add this ballot initiative to the ballot, other than in staff time associated
with determining the ballot language. Determining appropriate and balanced ballot language may
not be a simple matter. At some point, the Council may wish to involve groups on both sides of the
issue, to provide input on appropriate ballot language to ensure that the issue is presented in a fair
and balanced fashion. It is unknown at this time, whether the City will incur any costs related to the
preparation of fair and balanced public education on this issue, although at this time, no costs are
anticipated.

required to provide a 10 percent cash match, in the amount of $ 818.50 in local funds as a condition

as they are available. Upgrading our equipment will be an ongoing process for many years to come.

City Manager's Report. City Manager Phillip Oates stated Seward Parks and Recreation
hosted the Pink Cheeks Triathlon on May 2, 2009 and it was a huge success! The Triathlon consisted
of 289 registered participants. Other news listed below:
• Harbor. Seward Harbor Opening Day weekend would occur May I5-17, 2009, with
the Chamber hosting a Military Appreciation Bar-BQ in the Harbor on Saturday, May 16, 2009. The
Combat Fishing Tournament for the military would be held on May 21, 2009. On Monday, Apri127,
2009 there was a 200+ ~a]]on diesel spill in the harbor from a tear in a supply line to Shoreside
Petroleum's fuel dock. Shoreside Petroleum had worked with the DEC and USCG on containment
and clean-up of the spill. The Seward Harbor would be working with the Army Corps of Engineers
on two prof ects that received $5.4 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act. These two projects include the extension of the East Breakwater, and dredging within the
Harbor. Northern Economics had completed the SMIC feasibility study. The harbor was also
applying for grants for the following projects:
• 250 ton TraveLift vessel wash-down station
^ SSDD vessel transfer expansion
• SMIC maintenance/storage yard electrical improvements
^ NE Harbor fish-cleaning station improvement project
Construction for Security (Z) float
11
City of Seward, Alaska City Council Minutes
May I1, 2009 Volume 38, Page
Oates stated the legislature had appropriated $0 for the FY10 Municipal Harbor Facility
Grant program, so the Harbor would be reapplying for this grant program for Z float for FY11.
^ Community Development. Title l 5 code revisions would be available beginning May
15, 2009 and Title 7 and harbor tariff updates would begin their public process July 15, 2009. The
department had a number of complaints of camping in residential areas so staff would be conducting
a citywide review of this issue, and utilizing new code compliance software to track any violations.
Pavilion construction had begun and was on schedule for completion by the 4`h of July. Oates stated
the Seward City Council was sponsoring a Business and Economic Forum at the Seward High
School Auditorium, Wednesday, May 13, 2009 from 7PM to 9PM. The objective of the forum was
to:
^ a) inform citizens on the actions and policies that were implemented since the last
Forum held on September 19, 2007;
^ b) identify actions and policies that would continue to encourage-and expand
economic development in the City of Seward; and
^ c) discuss measures to reduce the impact of the current recession on the local
economy.
He also mentioned DOT/PF had no additional plans for closures of the Seward Highway
because of bridge repairs or inspections. Inspection dates and schedules were set up for oversized
vehicles.
^ 'Marv Lowell Center Update. The most significant change in the project would be the
elimination of the conference center and reduction of the administrative areas for partner agencies.
The previous design called for a facility that included a preliminary estimate for construction at
approximately $19.SM (including contract administration and construction contingencies). Afacility
devoted exclusively to the NPS was anticipated to be less, probably within a range of $lOM to
$15M.
^ Statehood Symposium. More than 100 people attended the Statehood reception and
Symposium on May 1-2; 2009. Invited guests of the first panel, moderated by former Seward Mayor
and Alaska Commissioner Edgar Blatchford, and featuring Wally Hickel, Keith Miller, Vic Fisher,
and Jack Roderick discussed Alaska's statehood story in first person. The second panel, entitled
Seward: Home of Alaska's Flag featured Edgar Blatchford, Jackie Pels, Mary Barry and Paul
Ongtooguk, with Tom Osborne moderating. Senator Gary Stevens and Representative Paul Seaton
were active audience participants. Finally, the Seward Mural Society unveiled a new mural designed
by artist Justin Pechuzal for the post office. The whimsical mural would be installed in early
June. These activities were made possible by the generous Alaska Statehood Experience Grant
program through Alaska Humanities Forum, National Endowment for the Humanities and Ra muson
Foundation.
Oates informed the week of May 4-7, 2009, all City Departments participated in a volunteer
OSHA inspection. Fach department was inspected for potential safety violations which included
facility inspections and an audit of all safety plans. The OSHA inspector was overall impressed
with the City's safety policies, practices, and plans. He stated each department would require some
12
Ciry of Seward, Alaska City Council Minutes
May 11, 2009 _ Volume 38. Paee
minor safety upgrades, and with timely compliance the city would be exempt from planned OSHA
inspections for one year. The city intended to comply with all OSHA reconunendations, and would
assess the upgrades and costs im~olved. Oates updated the council and public about ongoing
procedures and responses in case of an outbreak of influenza A (H1N1), the swine flu virus.
In response to questions, Oates stated he had met with the real estate division of the ARR,
and was trying to secure an agreement to move the Coast Guard building and ask the RR to consider
and propose to take the "sliver' and the old CG building area to give the city additional parking
spots. The talks were for ARR to trade land with the city, and come back to council for approval.
He thought it was worth exploring to have further development and parking for the city, and the
ARR would have direct access to their land. This was in the exploration stages only.
Other Reports, Special Presentations
A Travel Report Was Given By Vice-Mayor Willard Dunham on the Yeosu City,
Korea Trip. Other delegates on this trip were: Michael Meeks, city employee, Steve Denton from

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Resolution 2009-039, Authorizing Termination The Exisfing Lease With Jack Scoby And
Sheila L Scoby dba Orca Enterprises And Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into A
New Lease With Dockside Ventures, LLC For Lot 10, Block 6, Seward Small Boat Harbor
Subdivision, Plat 2000-19, Seward Recording District, Third Judicial District, State Of Alaska.
Motion (Dunham/Kellar) Approve Resolution 2009-039
Oates stated the Scoby's would terniinate the lease when the sale of the business closed. He
recommended entering into a new lease with Dockside Ventures, LLC. This would be signed when
the sale of the property occurred between the two parties. Language guaranteed in the event of
default was standard. New rates were in effect based on fair market values and adjusted to annual
CPI. Oates recommended approval.
Notice of the public hearing being posted and published as required bylaw was noted and the public
hearing was opened.
Niklas Ranta, encouraged the council to transfer this lease. He stated the businesses within
the building employed upwards of 18 people. They didn't intend to change the operation of the
building, just purchase and transfer ownership and lease to a new company. Ranta thought some of
the lease language the city used needed to be amended to allow for SBA lending opportunities. He
encouraged council to discuss this matter with the city attorney.

COUNCIL COMMI?N'I'S
Dunham complimented the Saturday clean-up crew. He was not happy that the high school
graduation would not have the scholarships given out on graduation day. The idea the town would
not have an opportunity to see who gives awards and who received them he found utterly outrageous.
He hoped the town would complain to school administration. He noted the community had a
prideful record for diving out scholarships, and those involved deserved to be recognized at
graduation. Dunham reported the Oceans and Law Conference group would be in town, and he
thought the community should be very proud to have this group of scientists here in Seward. The
cooperative utility group would meet tomorrow to work out differences between the governor and
the legislator, and he would attend.
Kellar concurred about not liking the decision of the high school administration giving
scholarships on a different day besides graduation. She said this decision was the talk around town.
Ogles thvll.ed the people for beautifying their yards.
CI'TIZENS' COMMENTS
Theresa 13uus, was conce~~ied with the every 15 minutes program at the high school. She
was happy to say they did a fantastic job. The effect was powerful and she thanked the police
department for handling this so well. The east side of Seward Fisheries lease area needed to be
cleaned yip and wondered if it could be made available for others to lease. The landscaping in the
North harbor reconunendations was a dual purpose to get the people out of the streets and onto the
sidewalks. Butts stated tourists were interested in industry and wanted to know what was going on
around them.
Christy'f'crry statcd the Branson pavilion needed volunteers to paint the pavilion. She said
this was a great bci ~~ i i t to tl~ie town and urged folks to call the city to volunteer which begins May ] 8
and would be painted in the city garage. Anyone aged 14 and up were invited.
COUNCIL ANtt ~! DM1N[S'1RATION RESPONSE TO CITIZENS' COMMENTS
Dunham i!w~ ~~ght painting was a good idea, but was sad therewere too many things going on
at the same time i I~ri weel: and he couldn't make it to all of them.
