“we had the big contract go out and looking for partners and it was going to be a floating dock off of both 1 and 2. And what it did is it gave them easier access to the dock and it also gave us more space on the dock because we don't have enough space down there for all the buses and vans right now.”Ketchikan: Recurring City Council Meeting of June 4, 2026 · Jun 5, 2026

Ketchikan City Council approved a $2.74 million HVAC replacement contract for city hall Thursday, funding it by deferring other capital projects and drawing from reserves. The 4-3 vote split on cost-of-living concerns.

The City Council voted 7-0 to shelve a $290,000 design contract for Berth 1 expansion after members said the community has reached a saturation point with cruise traffic. The project returns to the council in one year.

The City of Ketchikan closed bids in early May 2026 for vehicle fuel supply, City Hall HVAC replacement, and Ted Ferry Civic Center flooring replacement, with award decisions not yet public.
