Pelican City Council Agendas: Property Tax Roll, FY27 Budget, Water-Sewer Rates Lead Recent Business
The Pelican City Council has a backlog of meetings where agendas were published but minutes have not yet been posted, so no outcomes — votes, dollar amounts, or final decisions — can be confirmed from the available record. The most consequential items on the agendas span property taxes, the FY27 budget, water-sewer rates, and several property and infrastructure matters.
Board of Equalization — 2026 Property Tax Roll and Mill Rate
A special meeting of the City Council sitting as the Board of Equalization was scheduled for June 30, 2026. The agenda listed adoption of the 2026 property tax roll and consideration of Resolution 2026-12, which would set the mill rate. An approval item for an ice machine part was also on the agenda. Public comments were invited. Minutes have not been published, so the status of these items is not confirmed.
FY27 Budget and Water-Sewer Rates
The June 10, 2026 regular meeting agenda included a public hearing on Ordinance 2026-04, the FY27 budget. New business items listed were:
- Resolution 2026-10, water-sewer rates
- Resolution 2026-11, fire department
- An electric extension project
- A gravel sale policy
- A procurement policy ordinance
- Assistance for the Elfin Cove landfill
No vote tallies or dollar figures are available because minutes have not been published.
Budget Ordinance Introduced, Chapter 2.08 Rewrite Hearing
The May 13, 2026 regular meeting agenda called for introduction of Ordinance 2026-4 for the FY27 budget and a public hearing on Ordinance 2026-3, which would repeal and readopt Chapter 2.08. Additional items on the agenda included:
- Resolution 2026-7, sale of the Blue Bunkhouse
- A Cordova Broadband discussion
- A fuel dock pricing discussion
- Review of hydro project drawings
Again, minutes are not yet available, so no outcomes are confirmed.
April 8 Meeting — PMC 2.08, Building Permit Fees, Blue Bunkhouse
The April 8, 2026 regular meeting agenda listed a vote on Ordinance 2026-3, repealing and adopting PMC 2.08 as proposed by the mayor, and a public hearing on Ordinance 2026-2, amending PMC Chapter 2. Discussion items included building permit application fees, a resolution on the Blue Bunkhouse sale, and FY27 budget consideration. Minutes have not been published.
March 18 Special Meeting — Tongass Resolution
A special meeting on March 18, 2026 had one substantive agenda item: Resolution 2026-4, expressing support for sustainable management of the Tongass National Forest. The remainder of the agenda was procedural — call to order, roll call, visitor comments, and future agenda items. No minutes are available to confirm whether the resolution passed.
What This Means for Residents
Property tax rates, the FY27 budget, and water-sewer rates all directly affect household costs and city services. The Blue Bunkhouse sale, electric extension project, and hydro project drawings touch city assets and infrastructure. However, because minutes have not been published for any of these five meetings, residents should treat all items as proposed or scheduled — not decided. The city has not yet made the record of votes available.
Coming Up
No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents seeking confirmed outcomes from the meetings above should watch for published minutes from the City of Pelican.
