Wasilla City Council Tackles Budget, Contracts; Parks Commission to Discuss Bumpus Field Improvements
Wasilla’s City Council met June 22 to consider a postponed fiscal-year budget, a commercial rezone, and multiple contracts. The agenda included the adoption of the FY2027 budget, which had been carried over from an earlier meeting. Also up for discussion were a rezone of 7.81 acres at Brookwood Commercial Park, a $204,066 copier and printer rental contract with Valley Business Machines, a $178,880 IT support contract with Alaska Communications Services, and ratification of a three-year collective bargaining agreement with Laborers Local 341. The council also held a public hearing on the rezone request. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so final votes and outcomes are not available.
Parks and Recreation Commission to Meet July 8
The Wasilla Parks and Recreation Commission will hold a regular meeting on Wednesday, July 8, at 7 p.m. The agenda includes discussion of a resolution supporting improvements to Bumpus Recreation Area’s softball fields, prompted by an informational memorandum from the Mat-Su Softball Association. Commissioners are also scheduled to talk about adding more pickleball courts to city parks and to hear a staff report covering removal of a caboose from Nunley Park and tree clearing at Lake Lucile. A public comment period is set, with one topic being a potential dog park location for a service project.
