We would like to acknowledge that the City and Borough of Juneau is on Tlingit land and wish to honor the indigenous people of this land. For more than ten thousand years, Alaska Native people have been and continue to be integral to the well-being of our community. We are grateful to be in this place, a part of this community, and to honor the culture, traditions, and resilience of the Tlingit people. Gunalchéesh!
Per Resolution 1609; members of the Juneau Public Library Endowment Board (JPLEB) shall be appointed to three year terms. One member shall be the Library Director, one shall be a member of the Friends of the Library and one shall be a member of the general public. The Library Director seat is a non-recruitment seat with current Library Director Catherine Melville replacing previous Library Director John Thill. Donna Pierce has applied for reappointment and with the resignation of Carol Race, Sharon Tabor has applied for appointment to JPLEB to the Friends of the Library Seat.
Suggested Motion:
to forward to the full Assembly for approval, the reappointment of Donna Pierce to the Juneau Public Library Endowment Board Public Seat for a term beginning immediately and ending January 31, 2027 and the appointment of Sharon Tabor to the Juneau Public Library Endowment Board Friends of the Library Seat for an unexpired term beginning immediately and ending January 31, 2025 and ask for unanimous consent.
The date when an office of the Assembly is vacant dictates whether the Assembly appoints a successor or the voters elect a successor. The Assembly enacted CBJC 11.10.040(a) to prescribe how vacant Assemblymember positions are filled. While that code provision provides a helpful standard, it does not provide specificity when a midterm vacancy occurs whether the Assembly appoints or the voters elect. This ordinance clarifies that ambiguity:
-If a midterm vacancy occurs more than 60 days from the election, then the voters elect the vacant position;
-if a midterm vacancy occurs within 60 days of an election, then the Assembly appoints an interim and the vacancy would be placed on the subsequent year's election.
The Assembly Human Resouces Committee reviewed this ordinance at its November 28, 2023 meeting and moved it to the full Assembly for action. At the March 4, 2024 Regular Assembly meeting the Assembly moved Ordinance 2023-21 back to the Assembly Human Resources Committee for further discussion.
Review the goals specific to the work of the Assembly HRC and having those as standing agenda topics.
Updated per discussion from March 4 Assembly HRC meeting to add Assemblymember Woll's questions to the general board applicaiton; as well as recommended updates to the empowered board questions for Aiport, Docks & Harbors and Eaglecrest Boards. No changes were made to the Planning Commission, Systemic Racism Review Committee or Hospital Board questions so they are not included. HRC will be able to review those questions again prior to December interviews for those boards/committees.
