The Anchorage Assembly overrode Mayor Dave Bronson’s veto of an ordinance that lets the Assembly make nominations and oversee a nomination process for the body's youth representative, rather than leaving nominations only to the Youth Advisory Commission.
said that the previous nomination process for a youth representative, a position created in 2017, led to an “unintended and unacceptable abridgement of the separation of powers” between the Assembly and the mayor’s office.Anchorage Assembly changes how its youth member is picked, drawing criticism from city’s Youth CommissionThe ordinance “also seeks to widen the pool of potential youth participants,” the memorandum said.
Under the new ordinance, the Youth Advisory Commission can still put forward nominations for a youth representative. Now, Assembly members — rather than just the commission — can select young people for the pool of nominees. The Assembly chair makes the appointment, and youth representatives then must be confirmed by the Assembly. They participate in Assembly meetings and work sessions, but their votes are only preferential and don’t count toward passing or failing ordinances and resolutions.
