At a glance: Haines Borough Assembly votes and directions from Feb. 24, 2026 meeting
Summary
The assembly approved the meeting agenda and consent agenda unanimously, directed the manager to provide a status report on property reassessments, and approved the manager's leave request. Other proposals were discussed but either withdrawn or deferred for staff report-back.
The Haines Borough Assembly took several procedural and direction actions during its Feb. 24 meeting:
• Approval of agenda and consent agenda: The assembly approved the agenda and consent agenda by unanimous voice vote after noting a request that item 11 b 2 (budget amendments) be publicly discussed rather than passively approved.
• Direction to provide property assessment status report: Assembly member Smith moved to direct the borough manager to provide a status report on progress toward reassessing all borough properties within the six‑year schedule required by borough code. The assembly voted in favor of requesting a status report; the manager was asked to provide details on where the borough stands and the timeline to reach full compliance.
• Manager leave approved: The assembly approved Manager Fullerton's request for leave from March 30 through April 17 and identified the acting borough manager per organizational policy.
• RFP for CUP facilitation: Assembly member Sargent proposed directing the manager to create an RFP for facilitation services to revise CUP criteria and processes. Staff reported that personnel (Chen) were already working on potential improvements; the assembly requested a staff report on progress rather than immediate external procurement.
No formal ordinance adoptions or final votes on the LUTAC Dock stakeholder question, communications ordinance language, or mine‑related code were taken at this meeting; those items remain under discussion and may return to the assembly for action.
