NOTN- The future of Juneau’s Telephone Hill redevelopment will get another look after the Assembly voted late last night to add the topic to an upcoming Committee of the Whole meeting.
Last night’s meeting was full of passionate testimony from Social Service providers, businesses and residents, and among that testimony were more calls to halt demolition of the historic neighbourhood.
“Juneau’s Historic Resources Advisory Committee members who you appoint because of their expertise have told you multiple times that the homes on Telephone Hill are a direct tangible connection to our history and should be preserved.” Said Larry Talley, “Please consider taking the advice of those you have selected for their expertise, even if you believe a housing project is worth more than the historic district, don’t demolish this historic district until you know that you can afford to put housing where your market analysis says is a very expensive place to develop.”
Assembly member Nano Brooks moved to place on the next Committee of the Whole agenda a discussion of “actions that could affect Telephone Hill development or the timeline,” including options for pausing the current demolition request for proposals until responses to a separate qualifications process are in hand, and exploring partial or full land disposal strategies.
Assembly members say this is a way to reassess timing and structure rather than to kill the project outright.
“My concerns is, since we last touched on it, there’s even been more public outcry.” Said Assembly Member Maureen Hall, “Could we modify the bid for partial demolition? This is really hard, but I don’t know that we’re ready to go full steam ahead.”
“we know the strain on the Treasury, we know the costs after getting the gondola cost. My risk tolerance and concern for moving forward without having better senses on the price has gone down.” Said Deputy Mayor Greg Smith, “That being said, there’s five votes to have this discussion.
It’s a challenge, and I think staff has done a good job trying to make it as smooth as possible. But you know, all changes will have impacts to possible development, but I’ll support at least having the discussion.”
Some members pushed back, saying the body has already debated the issue repeatedly and that no new information had emerged.
“I do feel that we have voted on this and very similar issues many times at this point.” Said Assembly member Ella Adkison, “At this point, no new information has come forward that would change my calculations and I know that the COW (Committee of the Whole) has quite a bit on its plate, and I don’t really want to rehash old ground when we have other things we need to deal with.”
Mayor Beth Weldon however, agreed to put the item on a future agenda.
“While it kills me to do this, I would support the motion, because I have an idea that I need to run by everybody, so I’ll be bringing an idea.” She said.
The motion passed 6–2, set for more discussion at a Committee of the Whole session currently scheduled for April 13.

There’s been a hefty shakeup at Good Morning America.
Right after news leaked that Janai Norman’s contract wouldn’t be renewed, higher ups yoinked her from the airwaves.
It’s weird. And, without an explanation, longtime GMA viewers were understandably confused.
Norman herself opened up to fans directly about her sudden departure.
This is an abrupt exit
On Saturday, April 4, Good Morning America co-anchor Janai Norman announced her exit from the show.
She has been on ABC for 15 years.
Not only is this departure sudden for her fans — it also sounds like it was abrupt on a more personal level.
“I hope that we’d have more time,” Normal expressed on her Instagram post.
“It’s been hard on me that our time was cut short,” she expressed.
Janai Norman addresses fans amidst abrupt exit from ‘Good Morning America’

“I have loved my job,” Norman affirmed in her video.
“It has been a joy to connect with my co-workers and with viewers,” she added.
Norman expressed that it was a joy “to help keep you informed and entertained, and to create this community.”
The now-former co-anchor expressed that it “really breaks my heart” that she never got to “get to say goodbye” to everyone.
“I’m so sorry,” she expressed during the video. “It would’ve been fun.”
She is, however, looking on the bright side
When it comes to finding a silver lining, Norman isn’t having any trouble.
“But I have these three young kids and I have worked weekends their whole lives,” she noted.
“And so now, they get more of me,” Norman shared.
“And that,” she affirmed, “is worth everything.”
For her fans and followers, she advised: “So stay tuned.”
She expressed: “I’m sorry. I feel you.”
Norman also added: “And thank you to every single one of you who has reached out with such kind and validating words.”
She admitted: “I have needed it and I appreciate it.”
In her caption, Norman wrote: “I’ve read every message. And am deeply grateful for the love. More to come when the time is right.”
This really was new information
Reports about Norman leaving Good Morning America only surfaced on Thursday, April 2.
She had allegedly known since March — as early as a couple of weeks before the news leaked, it’s believed.
For the record, her contract does not end until May. Apparently, the story leaking prompted higher ups to pull her from the air ahead of time.
Norman started with ABC News in 2011 as a NewsOne intern. Since then, she’s propelled herself upwards.
Weekend co-anchors sometimes have their eye on weeknight anchor chairs. Some of them go on to become fascist war criminals.
There are many paths open to Norman — and we hope that she finds something that makes her happy.

The Alaska Senate last week advanced a bill that would allow for the anonymous surrendering of infants in so-called infant safety devices.
The boxes are located on the exteriors of buildings. They are climate controlled and monitored by video. When the device is opened, a 911 request is automatically made.
Alaskans have been able to surrender infants since 2008. Newborns must be given directly to police officers, firefighters, doctors or other medical personnel. They are then turned over to the Alaska Office of Children Services for adoption.
In Alaska, an infant must be aged 21 days or younger to be surrendered legally.
North Pole Republican Sen. Robb Myers is the lead sponsor of Senate Bill 9. It would allow newborns to be surrendered in climate-controlled boxes, located outside police stations, fire departments, hospitals and other locations.
Myers said that around one baby a year has been surrendered in Alaska since 2008. Despite that, three infants have been found abandoned in Alaska since 2013: Two were found dead; one newborn was discovered alive in Fairbanks in a box in winter.
Myers said safe surrender devices would help save lives. Parents can feel shame or the fear of potential recognition when giving a child to another person, he said. The climate-controlled boxes are intended to remove that barrier.
The Anchorage Fire Department, City of Fairbanks, the Alaska Children’s Trust and other groups support the legislative change.
The Alaska Senate advanced the bill on an 18-2 vote. Sens. Bert Stedman, a Sitka Republican, and Löki Tobin, an Anchorage Democrat, voted no.
Tobin said the anonymity of surrendering a child into a baby box could lead to abuse of women. She said the boxes introduce the potential that traffickers could surrender babies without a mother’s consent.
“The potential misuses for these devices far outweigh the benefits,” Tobin said.
All 50 states allow for the surrendering of infants. Almost half of states allow for newborns to be surrendered in baby boxes, which has accelerated since Roe vs. Wade was overturned, particularly in Republican-led states.
If the bill passes, the Alaska Department of Public Safety would be tasked with drafting regulations for the placement of infant safety devices. Each infant safety device is estimated to cost $16,000. That excludes surveillance and security costs, which state officials say could be “significant.”
SB 9 now advances to the House for its consideration. Similar legislation has been advancing through that legislative chamber.
