Here's what Ketchikan voters will see on the ballot this Election Day

Ketchikan voters have two ballots to fill out in this year’s municipal election: one for the City of Ketchikan and one for the borough.

There are seven propositions on the city ballot this year. One is a revenue bond to authorize improvements to the city wastewater facility, and there are six proposed changes to the city charter.

Proposition one is looking for voter authorization for a $15 million bond for the city’s wastewater facility and infrastructure. It’s not to enter into the bonding process yet — Acting City Manager Lacey Simpson said they are still working on finalizing prices for the projects. The wastewater system is owned by the City of Ketchikan, so all debt loans require voter approval before the projects can be pursued.

The first project would be to fix and improve the city’s main sewer infrastructure along the Tongass Highway corridor. The second project is to install a new disinfection system at the city’s charcoal point wastewater treatment facility.
