The minimum dimensions of spaces and aisles shall be as follows: (1) Parking spaces shall be at least 8.3 9 feet wide and 18 feet long.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA that: CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA RESOLUTION 2013 -008 Section 1. The City Council of the City of Seward supports House Bill 4 as introduced and Legislative efforts to fund AGDC as they move forward in developing a project to construct a natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to South - Central Alaska. Section 2. That a copy of this Resolution be sent to Speaker Mike Chenault, Senator Cathy Giesel, and Representative Mike Hawker. Section 3. This resolution shall take effect immediately. PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Council of the City of Seward, Alaska, this 28 day of January 2013. THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA David Seaward, Mayor AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ATTEST: Johanna Kinney, CMC City Clerk AS- Council Agenda Statement r of SFi Meeting Date: January 28, 2013 46j4, 9� ;1 Through: City Manager Jim Hunt �': 9�A K P From: Community Development Director Ron Long NIP Agenda Item: Supporting Legislative Efforts to Construct a Natural Gas Pipeline from the North Slope to South - central Alaska BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: Administration respectfully requests Council support for this resolution as part of the City's effort to maintain affordable energy costs for local residents and business through power sales by the Electric Utility in the near term and potential availability of natural gas to Seward in the longer term. The City supported various measures designed to fund and maintain critical infrastructure and cost control measures for the delivery of electricity along the rail belt and to Seward, including transmission lines and the City's participation in Alaska Energy Authority measures and in The Alaska Railbelt Cooperative Transmission and Electric Company (ARCTEC). Speaker Chenault and Representative Hawker have introduced House Bill 4 to provide the necessary structure, changes to existing statue, and direction to move forward a natural gas pipeline. South - central's present and projected future consumption of natural gas used for electric generation and for heating exceeds known natural gas reserves in the Cook Inlet basin and it is imperative that sufficient quantities of gas remain available. Exploration in the basin is not forecasted to yield sufficient gas to avoid a shortfall, now projected for 2015, and the only near term sources for replacement gas are via import. Utility rates would skyrocket under this scenario. Seward's primary interest in this project is to ensure Chugach Electric and other ARCTEC members have sufficient contract gas to provide affordable power into the future. Once the power generation picture for south - central is stabilized, we would want to pursue pipeline delivery of burner tip gas to Seward.

Tammie Wilson - HB 35 Support Letter Jcid: image001.png@01CDF3DA.40E064001 Dear Mayor Seaward, Alaska faces the highest energy costs in the nation, and having the required capital to convert to a more affordable heating system is a challenge for many of our residents. Attached you will find a copy of House Bill 35, An Act creating a low- interest loan program for homeowners who improve or replace their home heating systems. HB 35 will establish a low interest loan program, providing Alaskans the means to convert their existing inefficient heating system to a more efficient heating method. The loan program, administered by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, will allow for up to a $15,000 loan at 1% interest over a ten year term. The loan can be used to cover the cost of the heating appliance (i.e. boiler, furnace), labor and necessary materials. This would allow all Alaskans to utilize the loan program based on the available heating options in their community. I am asking for your support of HB 35 so we can provide all of our constituents the opportunity to heat their homes affordably. Thank you, Tammie Rep.

AS 18.56 is amended by adding a new section to read: 5 Article 6A. Home Heating Improvement Loan Program. 6 Sec. 18.56.870. Home heating improvement loan program. (a) The 7 corporation shall establish a program under which the owner of a home that is eligible 8 under (b) and (c) of this section may apply for a loan to improve or replace a home 9 heating system. 10 (b) To qualify for a loan under the program established in (a) of this section, 11 the homeowner shall obtain an inspection performed by an energy rater approved 12 under regulations adopted by the corporation or by a registered mechanical contractor. 13 The energy rater or contractor shall, under regulations adopted by the corporation, 14 (1) perform an on -site inspection of the home; HB0035a -1- HB 35 New Text Underlined [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] y 28- LS0196 \O 1 (2) determine whether improving or replacing the primary heating 2 system of the home would increase the energy efficiency of the home; and 3 (3) provide the homeowner with an estimate of the cost savings and 4 change in energy efficiency of the home as a result of improving or replacing the 5 primary heating system of the home. 6 (c) Under this section, a home is eligible if the corporation determines it is a 7 substantially complete, owner - occupied, single - family dwelling or duplex used as a 8 permanent residence by the loan applicant and is located in the state. A home is not 9 eligible if 10 (1) the home is to be destroyed, abandoned, or converted to another 11 purpose within 12 months after an inspection performed under (b) of this section; 12 (2) the energy source fueling or powering the improved or replaced 13 heating system is not available; 14 (3) a loan for the home was previously received under this program; or 15 (4) more than 25 percent of the gross floor area of the home is devoted 16 to commercial use. 17 (d) A loan made under this program 18 (1) shall have an interest rate of one percent; 19 (2) shall be repaid over a term of 10 years; 20 (3) may not be subject to income limitations; 21 (4) may not exceed, for a home, the lesser of 22 (A) the cost, including materials and labor, of the 23 improvements to or replacement of the heating system that will be used as the 24 primary heating method for the home plus the cost of the inspection required 25 under (b) of this section; or 26 (B) $15,000. 27 (e) As a condition of the loan, a homeowner who receives a loan under this 28 section shall agree, in writing, to improve or replace the heating system in accordance 29 with applicable building and housing codes and obtain all required permits. 30 (0 The corporation shall use repayments of principal on a loan made under 31 this section for the purposes of providing loans under this section or paying the HB 35 -2- HB0035a New Text Underlined [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] 28- LS0196 \O 1 administrative costs related to providing loans under this section.

This Act takes effect immediately under AS 01.10.070(c). HB0035a -3- HB 35 New Text Underlined (DELETED TEXT BRACKETED) Memorandum � 4of SFk► Date: January 22, 2013 To: Mayor Seaward and City Council 1 iv, From: Johanna Kinney, City Clerk U✓ Subj: Discussion/update on 2013 Student Exchange Seward's Sister City Relationship with Obihiro, Japan began back in 1968. The City Clerk's Office runs and maintains the Sister City relationship with Obihiro, Japan on behalf of the City Council. This includes the student exchange program, which dates back to 1973. The Sister City budget is currently set at $4,500. $2,000 goes to our contracted Sister City Coordinator, who begins work for the Clerk's Office in January with the student selection process through the fall when travel is complete and reports are filed. The remaining funds are used to host the Obihiro students for things like student activities, welcome /farewell banquets, and transportation costs. This budget is kept at a minimum and the Clerk's Office /Sister City Coordinator rely on donations and volunteer participation to help run the program, as well as assistance from the Seward International Friendship Association (SIFA). Students are responsible for the cost of travel to Obihiro. This is the primary cost for the participants. Over the course of the last several years, the Clerk's Office has seen declining interest in the application process. The feedback received by the Clerk's Office from the public was that potential applicants were put off by the daunting financial commitment, due to the rising costs of fuel and airfare. Just five or so years ago, tickets were around $1,000 - $1,500. Now they are close to $3,000. In the past, the Clerk's Office has responded to this lack of interest by having to re- advertise the program and extend the deadline for applications. 2013 will mark the 40 anniversary of this student exchange program. The deadline for applications for this year's exchange was January 15, 2012, and although there were several applications handed out, none were submitted. Although this will not be the first time the Clerk's Office has had to re- advertise the program, there is concern we will not have any applicants to select because of the trend we have seen over the last few years. Possible options the Clerk's Office is thinking of: ❖ Reopening the application period, while promoting and advertising the program as much as possible, hoping some applications are received. If still no applications are received: ➢ Consider requesting council support an appropriation of funds for travel stipends to help attract applicants who may be interested but cannot commit to the rising financial commitment of a plane ticket to Japan. -or- > Not send any Seward students to Obihiro this year, due to lack of interested applicants. Some of the concern over this option: • 2013 marks the 40 Anniversary of the Student Exchange Program • In August, 2013, council will invite a delegation from Obihiro to Seward to celebrate its 110 Founding Anniversary • In September, 2013, the Seward Mural Society is planning to travel to Obihiro to create a mural as a gift to our Sister City • This may be the first time we have not participated in the exchange program due to lack of interest and may be the beginning of the end of the program. This memorandum is purely informational at this point, but if council has any thoughts or suggestions as to how to proceed ahead, it would be welcome. .Z1 N D c 0V CON .a r j, y� N V .a N -+ d cn co co 4*(000 W 0))0 AV V O W ) 0 0 0 0 00.0 - a 0 A . �D N — 0 G) N WOD V 0 NCOV AV ■ Vt30 OVON W OCO .�O N „ p CO C ^N -a .f.. .a — pp N �v a N 71 Ch CO CO CO m.-4-4o J AO O COOOV V WW A .a $)' M N J A ANCDN W O V �� Cps C O CT CO N CO CO V W 17 O 0 C ++ pp N 44 jO..� .. � d AO)0)AO d) ONO (00) O WA W Mg + VOA 3. 00 co co 0p :n.
