Theyve temporarily saved pools, Dimond Park Field House, and social service grants, but the Juneau-Douglas City Museum, Mount Jumbo Gym, and Douglas Fire Station are still on the chopping block. The Assembly voted to protect high-use spots like pools after resident prioritization, but the museums fate remains uncertain. Other cuts include affordable housing fund, arts council support, arboretum care, landscaping, and staff travel budgets. A nearly $1.7 million subsidy for Eaglecrest Ski Area was also approved, sparking debate. These are initial steps, with more discussions and public input leading to a final budget vote on June 15th.
