Anchorage city government has set aside $827,500 for future payment of settlements, including in accusations made against Mayor Dave Bronson’s administration by two fired executives.
The Assembly on Tuesday approved the annual budget revisions, which included the $827,500 for settlements. The Assembly specified that the administration can’t pay out any settlements without further Assembly approval.
In its proposed changes to the 2023 city budget, the administration had added the money in for payment of “settlements,” but did not specify what settlements it would pay. But during Tuesday’s meeting, Office of Management and Budget director Courtney Petersen confirmed to Assembly members that the money would only go toward one or more of three possible settlements. Those involve Heather MacAlpine, former director of the city Office of Equal Opportunity; Amy Demboski, former municipal manager, and Roger Hickel Contracting, the construction management company involved in a controversial and stalled project to build a homeless shelter.
Assembly Chair Christopher Constant on Wednesday said he doesn’t yet know for sure to which parties the city will direct the money, or how much of the $827,500 each will receive. However, “reason would tell us that it can’t be Hickel” because the company is suing for a much larger sum, Constant said.for an alleged breach of contract and failing to deal in good faith. The company claims the city owes it more than $2.4 million for work it did on the proposed navigation center and shelter site in East Anchorage. It’s also asking for damages and attorneys fees.
