The dust has finally settled on Juneau’s recent municipal election, and there’s an expectation that our Assembly will start conducting its business more transparently and begin re-examining its priorities.
Some promoters of a new City Hall claim our current city buildings do “…not represent the high standard and image a capital city should project,” and “A new City Hall helps Juneau maintain its status as Alaska’s capital city.”
Last week, during a scheduled CBJ Assembly Finance Committee meeting, City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ) staff introduced the FY2024 draft budget for consideration. This was the first of many meetings examining the budget prior to final Finance Committee action on May 17 and adoption by the full Assembly on June 12. In conjunction with the budget, the FY2024 millage rate and CIP (Capital Improvement Plan) Budget will also be adopted.
