NOTN- The Juneau Assembly approved three measures in a brief special meeting, declaring a local emergency over the glacier outburst flood, setting aside $3.5 million for school roof repairs and backing the homeporting of two major U.S. Coast Guard cutters.
The three resolutions were bundled into a single consent agenda and passed without objection at the noon meeting.
One resolution declares a local emergency tied to the glacier outburst flood, clearing the way for a faster response and potential access to additional resources.
A second measure appropriates $3.5 million for school roof repairs, aimed at addressing priority maintenance needs across the district.
The third resolution throws the city’s support behind the homeporting of two major Coast Guard cutters in Juneau, including the CGC Storis, signaling local backing for an expanded federal maritime presence.
