The Anchorage Assembly has permanently enacted city code changes in an effort to rein in spending by Mayor Dave Bronson’s administration, lowering the dollar amount in contracts that would require Assembly approval.
Mayor Dave Bronson speaks at the opening of Catholic Social Services’ 3rd Avenue Resource and Navigation Center on Feb. 15, 2023.
“This is an important part in the efforts to bring compliance by this administration by shortening the leash in which they are able to act freely,” Constant said. Bronson spoke in opposition to the ordinance, which he described as “microscopic management.” He says since the Assembly first passed the emergency ordinance in January, the city’s purchasing department has been overworked.
