Proposed Anchorage Assembly ordinance would establish a process to remove the mayor - Alaska Public Media

Assembly Vice-Chair Chris Constant is the author of the ordinance. He says there’s already language in city code for removing Assembly and School Board members. His ordinance creates that language for the mayor.

May 9, 2022The Anchorage Assembly is set to consider an ordinance that would establish a process for removing a mayor, if the mayor violates the public’s trust.

“This is exactly the same standard that the Assembly is held to, that was established in 1993,” Constant said. “There’s nothing new here except we’re adding this to the executive branch.” Actions that would constitute a violation of the public trust include perjury, asking a municipal employee to break the law, refusing to follow an enacted ordinance or a “substantial” breach of city law.
