Mayor Dave Bronson’s administration said Friday it will pay Roger Hickel Contracting nearly $2.5 million in a settlement for work done last fall on the proposed homeless navigation center. Anchorage Assembly leaders said such a move would be illegal.
A construction site for the East Anchorage homeless navigation center and shelter, adjacent to the former Anchorage Police Department headquarters, is seen on Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2022 near the intersection of Tudor Road and Elmore Road.
The Assembly said Bronson’s administration needs legislative approval to authorize that kind of a payout. in East Anchorage was gradually whittled down to a planned 150-bed facility in a sprung-tent structure, with funding contingent on a commitment that the administration commit to a “good faith” effort to convert the Golden Lion Hotel into a treatment facility.
In his letter, Kohlhase told Assembly members that since money for the proposed shelter was technically appropriated by the Assembly under, albeit conditionally, it is available for the municipality to use for the settlement. Kohlhase cited a statement from Bronson in June of 2022 “promising to consider the former Golden Lion Hotel” as an option for a substance abuse treatment facility as satisfying the terms of that resolution.
