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

Election Update

MANAGER'S REPORT:

On tonight’s agenda is Ordinance 2021-08(b)(am)(D) regarding funding for a Ballot Processing Center that would allow for vote-by-mail elections organized at a Juneau facility. This year and last year, the CBJ municipal vote-by-mail election has and will be hosted at the Municipality of Anchorage facility.

This item is placed under Staff Reports tonight to afford the public an additional opportunity to submit public comment to the Assembly. Ordinance 2021-08(b)(am)(D) is set for public hearing on September 13, 2021.   The public will also be able to testify at that meeting.

RECOMMENDATION:

The City Manager recommends that the Assembly take public comment tonight on the proposal to renovate an existing CBJ facility (the Thane Warehouse) and to purchase equipment to allow for locally hosted vote-by-mail municipal elections.
