The City of Seward is the municipal government for Seward, a port city on Resurrection Bay. Its city council governs city services and public facilities, and the city runs its own municipal elections.
The council decides on the city's electric utility, including whether a local cooperative should run it and how a hydroelectric project fits in. It also weighs funding for community facilities such as the pool, a community center in the closed middle school, and the Seward Museum.
The city works with the Kenai Peninsula Borough and the school district on shared buildings, and it plans for traffic between its harbor, cruise dock and downtown.
