Assembly adds $673K to current year’s budget

The Juneau Assembly last night unanimously approved more than $673,000 in additional spending for the current fiscal year that ends June 30.

The bulk of that is $500,000 for the Juneau School District, bringing the city’s local contribution for the current year to the maximum allowed under state law.

The Assembly also approved additional spending for the Juneau Airport, Eaglecrest Ski Area, the city law department, and downtown parking.

The money to cover the increased expenditures will come from various reserve funds.
