About half of the staff positions are vacant in Anchorage’s Controller Division, and as a result, the city has contracted with private firms for up to $2 million total in professional accounting services over the next three years in order to accomplish work usually done by the city’s own employees.
Earlier this month, the Assembly approved contracts with three firms — Altman, Rogers & Co., Floyd Advisory LLC and Wilks Consulting Services, Inc. Funding for the contracts largely comes from the budget for the currently unfilled labor in the Controller Division, according to Yutrzenka. The contracts can be used by any department in the city to assist if needed.
Staff vacancies have become a growing issue within Mayor Dave Bronson’s administration in several city departments. Assembly members say they are worried about the destabilizing effects and possible long-term impacts, and that they don’t know the full scope of the problem.
A nEW dirECtIOn. Well, he warned us that we were all going to get f**ked.
Wonder if the fact that the average housing price in Anchorage is now over half a mil has anything to do with it.
The state is incapable of hiring as I’ve applied for 30+ jobs have certifications and accounting degree, still no offers of employment
Wow, I wonder what happened to the valuable professionals who used to work for the municipality? Chased away by a dumpster fire of a clusterfuck of a shitstorm known as the Bronson administration? Say it ain't so.
Everyone is leaving Anchorage. At least the smart people. The unions have ruined our city, and the media, dat be you, was complicit.
