ASSEMBLY AGENDA/MANAGER'S REPORT
THE CITY AND BOROUGH OF JUNEAU, ALASKA

Ordinance 2020-09(AX) An Ordinance Deappropriating $2,500,000 from the Manager as Funding for the Purchase of a Building at 3225 Hospital Drive, and Appropriating $2,750,000 to the Manager as Funding for the Crisis Stabilization Capital Improvement Project; Funding Provided by Bartlett Regional Hospital Fund’s Fund Balance.

MANAGER'S REPORT:

This ordinance would deappropriate $2,500,000 of Bartlett Regional Hospital (BRH) Fund’s fund balance and appropriate $2,750,000 as funding for BRH’s Crisis Stabilization CIP (B55-080). BRH was unable to purchase the office building located at 3225 Hospital Drive which currently houses a BRH clinical program. BRH’s lease on the clinic space expires in December 2022 and is unlikely to be renewed. To house the clinical program at the hospital campus, BRH is proposing to use this funding to add a floor to the behavioral health facility currently under construction.

Funding for the appropriation would be provided by Bartlett Regional Hospital Fund’s fund balance.

This request was reviewed and approved by the BRH Board at its April 27, 2021 meeting. This request was reviewed by the Public Works and Facilities Committee at its May 10, 2021 meeting.

RECOMMENDATION:

The City Manager recommends the Assembly introduce this ordinance and set it for public hearing at the next regular Assembly meeting.
