SUBJECT: Resolution 2004-049 authorizing the lease of 440 square feet of office space in the Seaview Community Plaza Building, Seward, Alaska for the Seward-Bear Creek Flood Service Area

The Seward-Bear Creek Flood Service Area (SBCFSA) was established by voter approval October 7, 2003 for the purpose of providing flood protection services within the service area. The SBCFSA needs office space to house its administrative assistant and for the public to visit. Of three facilities reviewed by SBCFSA, the Seaview Community Plaza Building was the only facility that offered the appropriate amount of space at an appropriate rental rate.

The Office Lease Agreement with Seaview Community Services is for 440 square feet of office space described as Suite 123 of the SeaView Plaza Building located at 302 Railway Avenue, Seward, Alaska. The lease term is one year with options to renew for four additional one-year periods. The monthly rental rate is $704, and a $660 security and cleaning deposit is required. Expenditures for the lease will be charged to account no. 259.21212.00000.43810.

The SBCFSA Board of Directors recommended entering into a lease for office space at its meeting of April 5, 2004. The KPB Planning Commission will consider this resolution at its regularly scheduled meeting of May 10, 2004, and the action taken will be reported to the assembly.
