There was only one item on the agenda last night at the Anchorage Assembly meeting, a resolution to develop an emergency shelter plan for cold weather for the homeless population in Anchorage.
The agenda was put forward by Felix Rivera after assembly members say Mayor Dave Bronson’s administration failed to bring their own plan forward to resolve these issues.
“Once again, the Assembly will step into the void of leadership on homelessness and assist the Mayor in coming up with a humane and realistic plan to ensure that our neighbors don’t freeze to death on our streets this winter,” Rivera said in the release. At the special assembly meeting at 5 p.m. no one from the administration attended to discuss the plan. The assembly introduced the ordinance to create a third party task force to develop an emergency shelter plan for the upcoming winter.
