From the transcript
The Municipality of Anchorage has a different licensing structure as the— in that we are the only municipality in the state that does it, that it governs and enforces child care codes. The rest of the state outside of the municipality is under the jurisdiction of the State of Alaska's Child Care Program Office, and we have jurisdiction from Peters Creek South to the Kinnik River Virgin north. And typically we have between 93 and 94 licensed child care homes in that range, in that jurisdiction. Right now we have 92, so we're kind of right on track. And we normally run between 95 and 97 centers, and right now we have 98.
