The Anchorage Assembly late Tuesday rejected Mayor Dave Bronson’s choice for municipal attorney, Mario Bird, without explanation while confirming two other Bronson appointees to head city departments.
Bird’s confirmation failed in a 4-8 vote. Three members often aligned with the Bronson administration — Jamie Allard, Randy Sulte and Kevin Cross — and Pete Petersen voted in favor of confirming Bird.
Top executives for Anchorage city departments are chosen by the mayor but must be confirmed by a vote of the Assembly, according to city law. Before the Assembly’s votes on Bronson’s chosen executives, Chair Suzanne LaFrance said that a leading principal of municipal law provides that “Assembly members must exercise their confirmation prerogative in good faith but need not provide reasons for refusing to confirm an appointee.
Also on Tuesday, the Assembly confirmed two other executives that Bronson had appointed alongside Bird: Courtney Petersen as leader of the Office of Management and Budget, and Michael Braniff as the Parks and Recreation Department’s director.
