Assembly Approves Flood Rules, Pauses Tax Plan | Anchorage News
Description
The Juneau Assembly wrapped up a packed meeting with major decisions on nonprofit sales tax, glacial flood protections, and city leadership pay. Nonprofits’ tax obligations were put on hold indefinitely, while unanimous approval went to new flood mitigation ordinances. Both the city manager and city attorney received 3% raises plus $2,000 bonuses—pushing their salaries over $243K and $214K respectively. Only one member, Nano Brooks, voted against the pay hikes, citing concerns over cost, though the debate occurred in private. Public safety remains top priority, and leadership compensation continues to spark debate.
