The Assembly of the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska is the governing body and legislative branch of the City and Borough of Juneau, the local government of Juneau, Alaska, United States. As Juneau is a unified municipality, its corporate limits encompass the historic town of Juneau (or present-day downtown), suburbs both urban and rural, as well as thousands of square miles of wilderness.

Contents

The Assembly is headed by the mayor of Juneau. The assembly consists of nine members, which includes the mayor, elected in rotating tranches to three-year terms. Elections are held on the first Tuesday of every October.

Districts

The City and Borough of Juneau operates under a council–manager form of government. The mayor is the titular head of the city, is the presiding officer (or chair) of the Assembly, and is one of three members of that body elected areawide (or at-large). The remaining six members are elected by district: two districts have been defined by the Assembly, as of its last redistricting in 2003:

The 2nd Assembly District is nearly identical to the state's 31st Election District, represented in the Alaska House of Representatives by Cathy Muñoz, except that the 31st District includes the Juneau Airport precinct. The 1st Assembly District is mostly identical to the 32nd Election District represented by Sam Kito III, except for the aforementioned inclusion of Juneau Airport, in addtition to the inclusion of communities outside of the CBJ: Gustavus, Kupreanof, Petersburg, Skagway and Tenakee Springs. Excepting these communities, the areawide "district" (or CBJ boundaries as a whole) are identical to Senate District P represented by Dennis Egan.
