Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson has vetoed a handful of changes the Assembly made to the city budget and alcohol tax spending plan. Assembly members could override some or all of the vetoes with a supermajority vote.
The mayor’s office issued the vetoes Tuesday evening. In the coming days, Assembly members could override some or all of the vetoes with a supermajority vote.• Striking $445,000 from the city’s alcohol tax spending plan, which the Assembly earmarked as annual grant funding for Catholic Social Services’ Brother Francis Shelter downtown.
• Reducing the Assembly’s funding for a security contract from $65,000 to $20,928 and moving the remaining $44,072 back into the Maintenance and Operations Department budget.• Nixing $150,000 that members had set aside for the Assembly legislative budget to provide technical assistance to organizations for the alcohol tax grant application process.
“While I support the efforts of the Brother Francis Shelter and the work they provide to compassionately address those individuals experiencing homelessness, Brother Francis Shelter will not be able to comply with the terms as stated in this amendment. The organization has expressly stated that they are committed to sticking to their 120-client capacity for the foreseeable future,” Bronson said in the veto document.
