Assembly Diary

Tonight – Monday 5/24, 5:30 – 7:00 pm at the UAS Egan Library there is a public hearing on the state project to rebuild Brotherhood Bridge and to run a Multi-Use trail from Brotherhood Bridge to UAS.

Monday noon the Assembly Public Works Committee hears the latest draft for downtown parking management.

Tuesday 5/25 at 7:00 pm the Planning Commission will hear a plan for the Coast Guard to install 3 wind turbines at the Juneau CG station. Because the federal government is not required to obey local regulations, this is a courtesy application for an “Advisory” conditional use permit.

Enough announcements.

One of the roles I feel is important for Assembly members is to attend various events, celebrations, dedications or meetings. This is not required and only some Assembly members do this – but it keeps me connected to the community and it lets people around town know they are recognized and appreciated. I thought I would share a few of the various events I have attended so far this month outside of Assembly meetings.

5/6 Youth summit at Centennial Hall,
5/6 DZ Covered Playground dedication
5/6 Public Reception at Centennial Hall for UA/NASA grant student projects
5/7 Native Youth Suicide Task Force Coalition

I want you to know I really enjoy doing this. This is one of the best parts of being an Assembly member. And I am grateful to you for allowing me to take on this role.

Enjoy Juneau’s current summer!!
