Finance committee advances CIP, budget ordinance amendments and utility bond proposal; approves private-dock reimbursement through FY26
Summary
The Assembly Finance Committee sent the capital-improvement resolution, a budget ordinance (with an amendment to fund private-dock reimbursements through FY26), and a school-bond ordinance amendment to the full assembly; the committee also directed staff to prepare a general-obligation bond ordinance for water and wastewater of up to $8 million.
The Assembly Finance Committee on May 21 advanced multiple budget and capital items to the full Juneau City and Borough Assembly and directed staff to prepare an additional bond ordinance for water and wastewater.
CIP and CBJ budget ordinances
The committee voted without objection to move the capital-improvement program (CIP) resolution to the full assembly. The mayor then moved Ordinance 2025-01 (the CBJ budget ordinance) to the full assembly "with an amendment" to fund private-dock reimbursements for the full fiscal year through June 30, 2026. The committee recorded a roll call on that amendment: the amendment passed (5 ayes, 4 nays) after members debated whether the reimbursements should cover the full fiscal year or only the calendar-year cruise season. Staff clarified that the budget numbers included full-year funding for both private and city-owned dock passenger fees and that the approved amendment directs staff to allow reimbursement for private docks through the whole fiscal year.
