Common Council 11-10-2026

The City of Juneau Common Council meeting on November 10, 2026, included an audit presentation and several financial and contract actions. Baker Tilly reported an unmodified opinion on the 2025 financial statements; the general fund balance increased by about $85,000 to roughly $1.3 million. The Council approved payment of bills totaling $395,510.76 in checks and $234,944.80 electronically. It also approved renewing the city’s $250,000 revolving line of credit with Farmers and Merchants Union Bank for one year at 6.5% interest, with no renewal fee, for emergency and short-term needs.

The Council approved a revised procurement policy that incorporates federal gifts and memorials; a police bargaining agreement, initially described as 2026–2028 and subsequently amended to 2027–2029; and the 2027 Dodge County Humane Society contract, providing for 10 domestic strays at $3,200, plus $400 per additional dog and pickup fees of $100 during business hours or $200 after hours. It also approved a right-of-way excavation ordinance intended to clarify requirements for outside excavators and utility companies. The Utility Commission reported a PSC-approved 3% water-rate increase and said well-related work may be put out to bid, but no bid award was reported. A storage shed was installed at Wild Goose Park; possible future concession facilities remain under discussion.
