Not me but some good news from Facebook.
It has been a tough week down at the City of Fairbanks. The loss of Sgt. Brandt has been excruciating. This morning, at our 7:00 am Finance Committee meeting, the City of Fairbanks budgeted to pay all costs associated with health care for 2016 for Sgt. Brandt's family and will be budgeting to pay health care costs in 2017 annual budgets (which we are working on now) and 2018. Fairbanks Memorial Hospital has stepped in and will not charge for any co-pays needed for future services. Big thanks to FMH. We also funded the costs associated with the transportation, care, services, etc. of Sgt. Brandt. Such a horrific and sudden loss for an officer who addressed us at our last Council meeting. His Memorial Service will be Sunday at the Carlson Center. I am proud and honored to be part of a City that just steps up and does the right thing, at a moments notice. With no questions. Certain things you just got to do. So proud to be a member of the Fairbanks City Council.
