The Homer City Council awarded a construction contract for a security grille at the Homer Public Library on May 26, 2026. The grille will protect the library's collection and interior spaces when the building is closed.
The council approved Resolution 26-014, awarding the contract to Steiner's North Star. The decision followed a competitive bidding process and came on the recommendation of the city manager and library director.
The city advertised bids for the project on December 4 and December 11, 2025, following standard procurement procedures.
The council first authorized library staff to seek grant funding for the security grille in June 2025, Homer News reported. In October 2025, the council accepted a $19,000 grant from the Rasmuson Foundation through Ordinance 25-65 to help fund the project.
The May 26 meeting also included routine fiscal actions for a gym-floor repair at the HERC and a subaward for a watershed-resilience project involving UAA and the Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.
