Assembly adopts repeal of old senior‑center bond, approves check run and declines Alaska 360 protest

The Skagway Assembly handled several routine and housekeeping matters at its March 5 meeting, approving payments, repealing an old bond authorization for a senior center and rejecting a motion to protest a liquor‑license application.

The assembly approved a check run of $1,504,293.50 on a recorded roll call after a motion from Potter and a second by Waddell. Members also held a public hearing and on second reading adopted ordinance 26-01, which repealed ordinance 26-15 that had authorized general obligation bonds for a senior center and apartments and removed restrictions on the use of the clinic site; Potter said adopting the repeal "officially release[s] the old clinic site from any kind of possible obligation." The ordinance passed on a recorded vote, 6–0.

On a pending item from Feb. 19, the assembly considered whether to formally protest Alaska 360’s application for a new seasonal restaurant tourism liquor license (No. 5896). The roll-call vote on the protest motion failed (6 no). The assembly adjourned after brief final comments and announcements.

What happens next: staff will process the adopted repeal and payments; no formal protest will be filed on Alaska 360’s application based on the assembly vote.
