"CBJ Assembly"

Assembly members chose not to raise property taxes in the city after seeing better-than-expected property values and a potential uptick in tourism.

Assembly members asked City Manager Rorie Watt to go back to Norwegian, suggesting the company donate directly to an organization like the Juneau Community Foundation, instead of the city itself.

Assembly members in committee also discussed an anti-racism resolution that’s part of the response to the Black Lives Matter movement’s demands, and Assembly member Rob Edwardson’s ordinance to create a Systemic Racism Review Committee. 

The agenda includes public hearings and likely votes on several ordinances, including committing Alaska Energy Authority grant money toward Juneau’s first electric bus. 

The meeting agenda includes several public hearings, including an emergency ordinance that would mandate masks for anyone attending Friday’s fireworks display outside their cars.
