Public Safety Partnership Commission

At a glance

• What: Ordinance AO 2026-62 would enact Anchorage Municipal Code section 4.50.120 to create a commission on public safety. Original sponsors: Brawley, Perez-Verdia and Assembly Member Rivera (not on the roll in these minutes). Later versions renamed it the Anchorage Public Safety Partnership Commission: AO 2026-62(S) and AO 2026-62(S-1) (both from Brawley and Perez-Verdia).
• Where it stands: the public hearing, continued from May 26 and reopened and continued to July 21, was held and closed on July 21, 2026. Perez-Verdia's motion to approve the S-1 version died for lack of a second. The minutes record no further action.
• Testimony: 25 people testified; the minutes do not record their positions.
