The Anchorage Assembly voted down one of Mayor Dave Bronson’s key priorities since taking office on Tuesday. The Assembly voted against a resolution to fund the proposed shelter and navigation center at Tudor Avenue and Elmore Road, by a vote of 3-9.
A resolution was introduced back in June to appropriate $11.1 million to fund the construction of the center, but the Assembly waited to take action on the resolution until Bronson’s administration could identify possible funding sources for the project. The administration presented an updated capital budget and a list of potential fund sources at a work session on Friday.
At the Assembly meeting Tuesday night, assembly member Felix Rivera echoed that information by saying, “The funds identified by the administration, which don’t even cover 100% of the capital costs, would devastate our public health and safety investments.” Assembly members Chris Constant, Meg Zaletel and Daniel Volland didn’t like that the funding sources identified would divert funding away from services that the Assembly promised to fund.
