Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - The City and Borough of Juneau Assembly will be holding a special meeting Wednesday evening on whether to extend the ordinance that establishes COVID-19 mitigation measures until Oct. 31, 2021. The ordinance is currently set to expire on July 31.
Deputy city manager and incident commander Mila Cosgrove said the Assembly will be taking up the emergency ordinance again due to the high case counts and rates of transmission in the community. On Monday, Juneau reported the highest 7- and 14-day case rates it has seen so far in the pandemic. Cosgrove said the Emergency Operations Center believes the current surge is caused by the Delta variant.

Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - The City and Borough of Juneau Assembly voted to lower the total mill rate by 0.1 during their Monday night meeting.
Assemblymember Michelle Bonnet Hale suggested an amendment to the ordinance that would change the areawide rate from 6.70 to 6.60, bringing the total rate to 10.56 from 10.66. Economic recovery across the country is proceeding more quickly than really anyone had expected, she said, adding that they made their mill rate proposal before cruise ship passengers were expected for 2021. So for those reasons, as well as the reasons I spoke to at our finance committee meeting, I believe this is time to give our general tax payers a break, even if it is a small break.

JUNEAU (AP) â Officials in Alaska s capital city are working on measures to prevent disruptions of online public meetings that have included verbal abuse of at least one assembly member.
The use of videoconferences allows the public to continue observing and participating city government meetings during the coronavirus pandemic, but there have been problems, KTOO-FM reported Tuesday.
City officials estimated there have been about a dozen instances of what has become known as Zoom bombing, or planned disruptions of meetings using the popular Zoom videoconference software.
The method has been used to disrupt public meetings throughout Alaska and elsewhere on Zoom and other conferencing platforms, often with lewd, racist or pornographic material.
