This is not evidence of silence. The 2024 recordings have not yet been audited.

Written-record minimum only. Multi-part exchanges may be compressed in the minutes, so the number retains a plus sign until audio is checked.

Paraphrase

Public-safety responses to alcohol needed enforcement, treatment, education and community support rather than one isolated measure.

Aglukark opened a wide-ranging committee discussion about the beer and wine store, public intoxication and safety.

Official minutes ↗
Paraphrase

Eliminating the public-facing Public Safety Committee would be a step backward and weaken Inuit participation and public oversight.

Aglukark made the statement before council defeated the proposed conversion to an internal working group 3–4.

This section does not treat moving or seconding a motion as a vote. Unanimous results without individual names remain collective records. “Absent,” “Conflict,” “Abstained” and “Not in office” are kept separate.

HOW TO READ THIS FILE

Presence, moving a motion, questioning and voting are different records

Attendance reproduces the City’s quarterly grids and separates formal council meetings from committees, hearings and workshops. Motion counts cover 35 written motion records from 2025 and available 2026 registries through August 25. “Substantive” removes agenda and minutes approval, in-camera transitions and adjournment. The question number is a minimum from written minutes; audio may raise it. None of these numbers proves how much work a member did outside the chamber.

For a mayor, council voting is treated separately: the mayor normally votes only to break a tie. Committee participation can create a different voting record.
