Anchorage Municipal Ombudsman Darrel Hess alleged in a memo sent Thursday morning that an “executive” working in Mayor Dave Bronson’s office was viewing surveillance footage of the ombudsman’s office.

The memo comes just eight days after former Municipal Manager Amy Demboski alleged rampant inappropriate behavior and cited actions she believed were illegal in an 11-page demand letter penned by former Gov. Bill Walker’s Chief of Staff Scott Kendall — who currently works as an attorney at Cashion Gilmore & Lindemuth.

On Wednesday, Alaska’s News Source submitted a public records request for messages sent from Bronson’s deputy chief of staff between Dec. 19, the day former Municipal Manager Amy Demboski was fired and yesterday, Jan. 18. The request specifically asked for all emails, memos and text messages that contained words like “surveillance video” and “ombudsman.” Alaska’s News Source has not received a reply.

“The employees perceive the alleged statements by the executive to be an attempt to intimidate them not to contact the Ombudsman’s Office,” Hess wrote.
