We want a safer community. So, um, with that, I would continue to encourage my colleagues to, uh, to vote to postpone and continue the public hearing and, and commit to continue to work on this. Okay, I don't have any other members in the queue, um, so the motion on the floor is to reopen the public hearing and continue this item to the meeting of July 21st with the intent of holding a work session in that interim time. So members may proceed to vote.
After hearing emotional testimony from families who lost loved ones to police shootings, the Anchorage Assembly voted 8-4 Tuesday to postpone debate on a substitute version of a public safety oversight commission that would give APD and other agencies voting seats.

The Anchorage Assembly voted 11-1 Tuesday to transfer a 9.6-acre Heritage Land Bank parcel to Alaska Natural Burial, a nonprofit that will create Anchorage's first natural burial cemetery. The move addresses the city's burial space shortage after Anchorage Memorial Park reached capacity and a 2024 cemetery bond failed.
