Acting Mayor Austin Quinn-Davidson has a soft spot for municipal workers who have worked through the pandemic.
She has authorized four hours of extra vacation time, so workers may leave early or take a half-day off, as they choose.
In a letter to the municipal employees, Quinn-Davidson wrote that it has been a “very challenging year,” and that beginning Monday, each of the workers will get that extra four hours of leave deposited in their accounts, to use as they wish.
“While 2020 has brought many changes to our daily lives, your commitment to the residents of the Municipality has been steady,” her letter said.
“You make the lives of Anchorage residents easier and happier in so many ways. Thank you for service and support,” Quinn-Davidson wrote.
For workers, such as code enforcers who make $24 an hour shutting down businesses on behalf of the mayor’s emergency order, that is a $100 Christmas bonus in the form of time off.
