From the transcript

This budget uses one-time funds to preserve essential services for now but the municipality will likely face difficult decisions next year. I encourage everyone to take part in the upcoming Fiscal Future Summit conversation with Chair Brawley and Member Baldwin Day on Friday, October 30th, from 10 to 4 at the UAA Student Union. Lastly, I urge assembly members to approve my administration's S version of AO 2026-108 tonight, which is co-sponsored by members Silvers and Gerker. Technologies like the Real Time Crime Center are powerful public safety tools. They help APD locate missing persons, receive information from victims, and bring violent criminals to justice.
