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

Ordinance 2021-42 An Ordinance Reestablishing the City and Borough of Juneau COVID-19 Mitigation Strategies and Providing for a Penalty.

MANAGER'S REPORT:

The existing COVID-19 Community Mitigation Strategies (Ord. 2021-33am) are set to expire on October 31, 2021.  Due to a surge of COVID-19 case activity, increased community spread, and significantly restricted medevac capacity, the Emergency Operations Center believes it is in the best interest of the community to extend the current COVID mitigation measures until June 1, 2022.

The Community Mitigation Measures are the same as adopted in Ordinance 2021-33 except the penalty section has been reinserted. The lack of a penalty provision has decreased the effectiveness of the mitigation measures and confused community messaging.

RECOMMENDATION:

The City Manager recommends the Assembly introduce this ordinance and set it for public hearing at the next special or regular Assembly meeting. A tentative special Assembly meeting can be scheduled for September 29, 2021.
