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

Ordinance 2018-11(W) An Ordinance Appropriating to the Manager the Sum of Up to $30,000 as Partial Funding for the Cold Weather Emergency Shelter (FY19); Grant Funding Provided by the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority (The Trust).

MANAGER'S REPORT:

The Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority approved a $30,000 grant request submitted by CBJ staff to cover the costs of operating the cold weather emergency shelter.  Last year CBJ received $16,425 to cover rent at the facility.  The increased amount recognizes the CBJ’s additional costs in taking over ownership of the building, but is $6,000 short of that requested.  The Housing Office will be looking for operational efficiencies to address the shortfall.

RECOMMENDATION:

The City Manager recommends this ordinance be adopted.
