Assembly of the City and Borough of Juneau
I. FLAG SALUTE II. ROLL CALL III. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS A. Employee Recognition – Craig Duncan IV. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A. April 18, 2012 – Special Assembly Meeting 2012-10 V. MANAGER’S REQUEST FOR AGENDA CHANGES VI. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. VII. CONSENT AGENDA A. Public Requests for Consent Agenda Changes, Other Than Ordinances for Introduction B. Assembly Requests for Consent Agenda Changes C. Assembly Action 1. Ordinances for Introduction This ordinance would allow the Professional Plaza property to have a secondary entrance and exit onto Berner’s Avenue. Currently, the office complex is served by one driveway onto Glacier Highway. If the Assembly adopts this ordinance, the owners of the Professional Plaza property would have to apply for a modification to their existing Use Permit, and the construction of a second access would be considered by the Planning Commission. The Public Works and Facilities Committee recommended this action at its February 27, 2012 meeting. I recommend this ordinance be introduced and set for public hearing at the next regular Assembly meeting. This ordinance would appropriate an additional $260,000 to the FY12 Airport operating budget. Funding would be provided by the Airport Fund balance. The Airport experienced unanticipated increased costs due to snow removal, fuel price increases, unexpected repairs, and increases in both rates and usage for electricity. Revenues were less than anticipated due to delays in lease and departure lounge concession negotiations. The Airport Board recommended this action at its March 14, 2012 meeting. I recommend this ordinance be introduced and set for public hearing at the next regular Assembly meeting. This ordinance would appropriate an additional $250,000 to the FY12 Public Works, Streets Division, operating budget. Funding would be provided by the Roaded Service Area fund balance. The Streets Division experienced unanticipated increased costs due to snow removal (additional equipment rentals, additional fuel usage plus price increases, purchase of additional chemicals, and additional contracted snow removal). I recommend this ordinance be introduced and set for public hearing at the next regular Assembly meeting. This ordinance would appropriate an additional $600,000 to the FY12 Bartlett Regional Hospital (BRH) operating budget. Funds would be provided by the BRH Fund Balance. BRH experienced unanticipated increased costs related to recruitment, personnel (formerly contracted employees are now BRH employees) and higher than anticipated bad debt expenses. I recommend this ordinance be introduced and set for public hearing at the next regular Assembly meeting. This ordinance would appropriate an additional $100,000 to the FY12 Public Works, Fleet Maintenance Division, operating budget. Funds would be provided by the Fleet Maintenance Fund balance. The Fleet Maintenance Division experienced unanticipated increased costs related to extra repairs and maintenance of city-owned equipment, primarily due to the heavy use of Streets snow removal equipment. I recommend this ordinance be introduced and set for public hearing at the next regular Assembly meeting. This ordinance would appropriate $207,397 of unexpended FY11 grant funds for the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Recruitment Program (SAFER) grant. This is a multi-year grant and was originally appropriated in March 2009. The focus of this grant is to provide recruitment and training for volunteers. Scholarship funds are provided to volunteers that participate in the live-in program. Marketing and other program costs such as funds for banners, displays, and handout materials are also included. 2. Resolutions This resolution would amend the Capital Transit fare and rate structure to allow for an increase to certain fares
This resolution makes no changes to the Capital Transit System services. I recommend this resolution be adopted. Juneau has been allocated $21,665 as part of the U.S. Department of Justice JAG/Edward Bryne Formula Grants for Law Enforcement. These funds, provided through the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs,’ Bureau of Justice Assistance, are provided to enhance law enforcement programs, among other possible uses. As part of the application process, the Assembly must adopt a resolution authorizing submittal of a grant application. The Juneau Police Department proposes to purchase police equipment with this grant, including weapons for the SWAT team, rain jackets for patrol officers, and upgrades for the bomb robot. There are no match requirements for this grant. I recommend this resolution be adopted. 3. Transfers The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation has agreed to allow CBJ to amend its N. Douglas Sewer grant agreement to include this small sewer project along Douglas Highway, adjacent to Lawson Creek, in West Juneau. The $165,000 represents 60% of the total project cost of approximately $270,000. The 40% matching is already in place from FY12 Temporary Sales Tax funds. This sewer project is currently out to bid and scheduled to be completed by spring 2013. The N. Douglas Sewer CIP has sufficient remaining funds to allow project completion. The Public Works and Facilities Committee recommended this action at its May 21, 2012 meeting.
VIII. PUBLIC HEARING This ordinance would return $20,642 in sales tax funds from the Juneau Bridge Repair Capital Improvement Project (CIP) to the Sales Tax Fund. This CIP was partially funded with FY06 Street Sales Tax monies. After these funds were expended, CBJ received $20,642 from the State for this project. The project is complete, and the money received from the State can be used to reimburse the Sales Tax Fund. I recommend this ordinance be adopted. IX. UNFINISHED BUSINESS This ordinance, as amended by the Assembly Finance Committee, would appropriate $316,853,900 for the City and Borough’s FY13 operating budget, excluding the School District, but including debt service and additional funding for the High School Auditorium Manager. It is necessary to appropriate all transfers between funds that support operations, debt service, and capital projects as well as the associated expenditure within the funds themselves. The transfers account for $85,057,100 of the total. Excluding the transfers and School District amounts, the CBJ FY13 operating budget, debt service, and capital projects is $231,796,800. The Assembly Finance Committee approved a motion on May 23, 2012 to forward the proposed operating budget, as amended by the Committee, to the Assembly for action on June 4, 2012. The Charter requires adoption by June 15, 2012. I recommend this ordinance be adopted. This ordinance would establish the property tax mill rates for 2012. These are the mill rates that will fund the FY13 operating budget, including debt service. The Charter requires that the Assembly adopt, by ordinance, the tax levies to fund the FY13 budget on or before June 15, 2012. This ordinance establishes an operating mill rate of 9.26 and a debt service mill rate of 1.29 for a total levy of 10.55. This rate is the same total operating and debt service mill rates as levied in 2011. The service area components of the levy are as follows: Area Millage The mill levies presented in this ordinance support the Manager’s FY13 Proposed Budget, as amended by the Assembly Finance Committee. The Assembly Finance Committee approved a motion on May 23, 2012 to move these proposed mill rates on to the Assembly for action on June 4, 2012. I recommend this ordinance be adopted. This ordinance would transfer $21,877 of unexpended Marine Passenger Fees (MPF) revenues budgeted for specific purposes in FY11 and not expended by the fiscal year end to the Open Space Waterfront Land Acquisition CIP. This transfer is consistent with the Assembly’s direction on the disposition of unexpended MPF funds. The FY11 transfer consists of: • Downtown Ambassador Program Funds $ 1,811 For accounting purposes, the funds will first be refunded to the Marine Passenger Fee Fund and then be transferred to the Open Space Waterfront Land Acquisition CIP. I recommend this ordinance be adopted. This resolution would adopt the Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2013 through 2018, as required by Charter Section 9.4, and lists the capital projects that will be undertaken in FY 2013 using CBJ sales tax funds and Marine Passenger Fees.
I recommend this ordinance be adopted. X. NEW BUSINESS A. Docks and Harbors – Amendment to PND Contract for Statter Harbor Moorage Improvements Project. This is an amendment to an existing professional services contract with PND Engineers, Inc., for the Statter Harbor Moorage Improvements project. PND was selected through an RFP process in December 2007 to perform design services for Statter Harbor Master Plan projects. The RFP included a provision to extend services to construction administration. The contract amendment would extend services for construction administration for a time and materials fee not to exceed $397,015. The Statter Harbor Moorage Improvements project includes deferred maintenance repairs to the existing moorage facility, removes DeHart’s marina, and installs new moorage capacity to Statter Harbor. Funding for this work is provided by an ADOT Municipal Harbor Grant and matching funds from CBJ Sales Tax proceeds. This action was recommended by the Docks and Harbors Board at its May 31, 2012 meeting. XI. STAFF REPORTS XII. ASSEMBLY REPORTS A. Mayor’s Report XIII. ASSEMBLY COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS XIV.
