GLOF Mitigation Updates, Eaglecrest Gondola, and Disposal of City Hall on Agenda for May 4 Committee of the Whole Meeting

The City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ) Assembly will get a detailed technical update on near-term GLOF mitigation efforts, including flood modeling and Phase 1 and 2 HESCO flood barrier construction, followed by a discussion on project funding the Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting scheduled for 6 p.m. on Monday, May 4. Also included on the agenda are discussions of the future paths for both the Gondola project and the existing City Hall building.

The Assembly moved to terminate the revenue sharing agreement with Goldbelt for the gondola project, however, additional discussion regarding next steps is needed. Identified options include termination of the project (sell all parts and equipment), or to seek potential investors to take over the project.

The Assembly will also discuss an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to sell the current City Hall (155 Heritage Way). Possible methods of disposal range from sealed competitive bid to authorizing negotiations with an interested party.

While Assembly Committee Meetings do not include public testimony, residents are encouraged to share their input by emailing the assembly at [email protected] or by testifying at an upcoming Regular Assembly Meeting on May 18.
