Bethel City Council Works Toward Diversity Goals

The Bethel City Council laid out its goals and priorities for 2021 in their Jan. 26 meeting. Some goals were procedural and were approved without much discussion, like making sure the finance department gets fully staffed again and that city audits go according to plan.

But one goal that stood out was making the city a more racially diverse and inclusive place, starting with its own government. Council passed a document that calls for analyzing demographic data on city employees. The document says that city government can better respond to the needs of its residents by being more diverse itself. Mayor Michelle DeWitt and Vice Mayor Haley Hanson both said that they supported this goal, and expressed their desire for more concrete progress. DeWitt suggested that some of the city’s committees or commissions could develop this goal in greater detail, but it wasn’t clear which one, if any, might do that. ....

The controversial sugary beverage tax prompted hours of discussion by Bethel residents, advocacy organizations, and city council members in last night’s meeting. The council voted to introduce the ordinance, but tabled the public hearing and final vote until April 2021.
If adopted, the ordinance would add a 1-cent-per-ounce excise tax on sugary drinks. That would add $1.44 to the cost of a 12-pack of soda, to be paid by the distributor.
Residents who support the tax said that it could reduce the consumption of sugary beverages and the adverse health outcomes that come with it. Bethel Dentist Tucker Burnett cited a 2008 study that found that young children in the Y-K Delta have five times more tooth decay, fillings, and missing teeth than the national average. “And I m here to tell you that the number one cause, absolutely, is sugary drinks,” said Burnett in the meeting. ....
