City Manager's Office

The City of Homer has a Sister City relationship with the city of Teshio, Japan. This year marks the 40th anniversary of that relationship.

The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) provides information on capital projects identified as priorities for the Homer community.  Projects to be undertaken by the State of Alaska and other non-City organizations are included in the CIP in separate sections. An overview of the financial assumptions can be found in the Appendix.

Homer, Alaska, August 14, 2023 – The City of Homer, in conjunction with the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management, will temporarily close a portion of the Spit Trail on Monday, August 21, and Tuesday, August 22, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The closure aims to facilitate the installation of enhanced tsunami sirens by the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management and the execution of a testing project.

Homer, Alaska, June 22, 2023 -- The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) is introducing the Alaska Project Exchange (APEX) – a public resource for staying connected and involved with the DOT&PF construction projects that matter to you. Here's what you need to know:

Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) asks the public to report all opossum sightings immediately to the ADF&G at 907-235-8191. The ADF&G is actively working towards the removal of opossums from the wild in the Homer area because opossums possess the potential to spread diseases, prey on, and compete with native wildlife.

If an opossum is spotted outside of normal business hours, please contact the Homer Police at 907-235-3150.

On May 22, 2023, the City of Homer was named an official Coast Guard City in Alaska, as approved by the Commandant of the United States Coast Guard and the United States Congress.

Now that the snow has melted off City streets, your Public Works Department is springing into street sweeping operations to remove sand remaining from the winter season.  Sweeping up the excess dust and debris on nearly 2o miles of roadway keeps it out of the air and our storm drain system and makes our town cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing and livable.

Erosional damage on the Homer Spit is undermining the portion of the Sterling Hwy that connects the Kenai Peninsula mainland to organizations like the United States Coast Guard and the Alaska Marine Highway and will ultimately, if left unchecked, diminish the role the Homer Spit plays as a regional commerce center and transportation hub for Southcentral Alaska.
