3 AAC 110.042 - Best interests of state

In determining whether incorporation of a city is in the best interests of the state under AS 29.05.100(a), the commission may consider relevant factors, including whether incorporation

(1) promotes maximum local self-government, as determined under 3 AAC 110.981;

(2) promotes a minimum number of local government units, as determined under 3 AAC 110.982 and in accordance with art. X, sec. 1, Constitution of the State of Alaska;

(3) will relieve the state government of the responsibility of providing local services; and

(4) is reasonably likely to expose the state government to unusual and substantial risks as the prospective successor to the city in the event of the city's dissolution.
