ORDINANCES FOR INTRODUCTION
This ordinance would authorize the Eaglecrest Ski Area to enter into a franchise agreement with Pittman’s Pub LLC to provide Beer and Wine Sales at Eaglecrest Ski Area during the winter season consistent with the Ski Area Operating Calendar. On June 5th 2017 the Assembly Adopted Resolution 2793(b) authorizing the Eaglecrest Board to approve on a case by case basis, the sale, possession, and consumption of beer, wine, alcoholic ciders and other similar malt beverages in connection with a valid permit issued under City and Borough of Juneau Code of Regulations, Title 11 Chapter 7 with a licensed vendor holding a valid liquor license issued by the State of Alaska. The federal Land and Water Conservation Fund prohibits CBJ from issuing leases at Eaglecrest. However, CBJ can grant a franchise agreement as a mechanism to formalize a business relationship. Eaglecrest solicited a Request For Interest (RFI 23-174) and received no responses. After the solicitation closed Eaglecrest continued to look for suitable vendors and was contacted by two interested parties. After pursuing the opportunities further Pittman’s Pub LLC was the only remaining interested party. This Ordinance would allow Pittman’s Pub to operate for five consecutive winter seasons.

CBJ has been awarded a $280,000 Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant from the Federal Highway Administration. The SS4A grant’s goal is to develop a holistic, well-defined strategy to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries. Funding would be used to conduct a full road safety analysis, taking inventory of all previous crashes, historical trends, conditions, severity of injuries, community and partner input, and other factors throughout the borough. The safety analysis would produce a list of projects and guide the creation and implementation of the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. Once the plan is implemented, the CBJ would be eligible for additional road safety grant funding. A local match requirement of $70,000 will be provided by previously appropriated funds in the FY24 CIP Resolution 3016(b).
