Mayor Dave Bronson named Mario Bird as his acting chief of staff. Adam Trombley’s last day with the Municipality was April 4. Trombley voluntarily resigned to focus on his family and personal matters, the mayor said in a statement.
“I have nothing but gratitude for Adam, and the work he has accomplished for the people of Anchorage over the last number of years. He is a consummate professional, diplomat, and experienced leader,” Bronson said. “I will dearly miss his presence at City Hall and wish him all the best going forward in his career. I am confident he will be successful wherever he goes.”
Bird previously served as senior policy advisor for Bronson, who had earlier named him city attorney, but was confronted by a hostile Anchorage Assembly on the appointment.
“Having Mario serve in an acting capacity will provide stability and continuity to the Administration. I thank him for his willingness to lead while we undergo the process of finding a permanent Chief of Staff,” Bronson said.
