And so, uh, want to acknowledge that. The second thing to say is, in terms of having a work session in the future, I think the assumption would not be that we are picking one version or the other. I know my co-sponsor and I have talked about potentially bringing forward another version, but not before we've had some sense from the body what direction you'd like to go, you know, looking, knowing there were other amendments. And so, um, and so I would urge support for postponing this. It is, and again, it is not to say that, that it is only postponing for the purpose of taking up one version.
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.
