I wanted to do something fun for the holidays, so... meet Bubba the Elf! He's on a fantastical adventure throughout the Fairbanks North Star Borough as he searches for his uncle Jim Williams (Chief of Staff).

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

(2 of 2) Social media plays a major role in how many of us receive news & information. Jim did a fantastic job outlining the responsibility we as city & borough officials have to our residents. While we’ll always have room for improvement, we constantly make excellence our goal!

Last week I met with a group of Fairbanks homeschool students participating in the First LEGO League program. Their team is tasked with solving a real-life scenario--a problem with a local building or public space. They'll then design a solution, share it with others & refine it.
