At Special Meeting tonight, Juneau Assembly to take public comment on extending COVID-19 mitigation strategies

The City and Borough of Juneau Assembly has a Special Meeting tonight, September 29, at 6 p.m. to take public comment on extending COVID-19 mitigation strategies and providing for a penalty. The meeting will be held in City Hall Assembly Chambers. In accordance with room capacity protocols, the meeting will accommodate up to seven people in the public audience seats on a first come, first served basis, with masks required. Public participation is also accessible online and over the phone – join the meeting here: https://juneau.zoom.us/j/93917915176, or call 1-253-215-8782 with Webinar ID: 939 1791 5176; hit the ‘raise hand’ button online or press *9 on your phone during public comment.

On the agenda is a public hearing on Ordinance 2021-42: An Ordinance Reestablishing the City and Borough of Juneau COVID-19 Mitigation Strategies and Providing for a Penalty. The existing COVID-19 Community Mitigation Strategies are set to expire on October 31. Due to a surge of COVID-19 case activity, increased community spread, and significantly restricted medevac capacity, the Emergency Operations Center believes it is in the best interest of the community to extend the current COVID mitigation measures until June 1, 2022. Read the full agenda here.

Again, in-person public participation will be limited to seven people on a first come, first served basis in accordance with room capacity protocols. All attendees are required to wear a mask. Eight Assembly members and five CBJ staff will be attending the meeting in-person, allowing room for seven members of the public before reaching the indoor gathering size limit of 20 individuals. Attendees in excess of the room capacity protocols will be requested to participate online or over the phone. Testimony time will be limited by the Mayor based on the number of participants.

Public invited to comment during Aug. 23 Assembly meeting on funding vote-by-mail facility in Juneau

The public will have an opportunity to weigh in on a vote-by-mail proposal during the Monday, August 23 Juneau Assembly meeting. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. Join online at https://juneau.zoom.us/j/91515424903 or call 1-253-215-8782 with Webinar ID: 915 1542 4903. The proposal is to renovate an existing City and Borough of Juneau facility – the Thane Warehouse – and purchase equipment to allow for locally hosted vote-by-mail municipal elections. Read the full agenda packet here.

Within the August 23 Assembly agenda is the introduction of Ordinance 2021-08(b)(am)(D), which would appropriate $700,000 of general funds to configure the Thane Warehouse as a ballot processing center, and fund the purchase and set up of election equipment to operate a locally hosted vote-by-mail election. The work is anticipated to be complete in time to conduct the 2022 municipal election at the new Juneau processing center. Last year and this year, the CBJ municipal vote-by-mail election has and will be hosted at the Municipality of Anchorage facility.

Again, the community is invited to submit public comment during Monday’s Assembly meeting. Community members can comment during the meeting in person (up to eight people will be allowed in the audience seats at City Hall), or through Zoom online (hit the ‘raise hand’ button), or over the phone (press *9 on your phone). Members of the public are also encouraged to email their comments in advance of the meeting to [email protected].

The public will have another opportunity to weigh in during the ordinance’s public hearing, happening at a later date.

For more information, contact City Manager Rorie Watt at [email protected].
