Local Government

The Municipality of Anchorage is the third and final level of government for Anchorage residents. This level of government most likely has the greatest impact on residents because it deals with pertinent issues such as public safety (police & fire), public transportation, libraries, museums, and parks & recreation. Unlike the two other levels of government, city government only has two branches, executive and legislative.

Legislative Branch
