Chief of Staff Jim Williams called Wednesday 'one of the weirdest days I've been at the borough.'
A sewage leak and a fire-alarm malfunction closed the Fairbanks North Star Borough’s administration building Wednesday. That included the treasury desk, where many borough residents come to pay their property taxes — which are due on Friday.“It, it was, it was, uh, one of the weirdest days I’ve been at the borough in the time I’ve been there. I’ll tell you that right now,” Chief of Staff Jim Williams said.
Williams said staff members determined an incorrect part was installed in the alarm system, so between trips to the parking lot on Terminal Street, they called to have it fixed. “ It was so putrid in the building. It’s like, I can’t, I can’t have employees working in this. This isn’t gonna work,” Williams said. “And I was out front for a while until about 2:00, 2:30, kind of redirecting taxpayers as they came up, and a lot of ’em turned their nose up. It’s like, ‘what is that smell?’ they could smell outside the building. It was, it was awful.”
Borough Assembly Presiding Officer Aaron Lojewski said he was asked by the administration to call an emergency meeting of the borough assembly to change the tax deadline.
