3 AAC 110.370 - Best interests standard for cities within an organized borough
(a) In determining
whether reclassification of a city within an organized borough is in the best
interests of the state under
AS
29.04.040(a), the commission
may consider relevant factors, including the
(1) fiscal impact to the state;
(2) need for the city to have authority to
levy a property tax, and at what rate, to provide essential municipal services;
and
(3) need for the city to
exercise the power of eminent domain.
(b) The commission may make a determination
that reclassification is in the state's best interest, subject to legislative
review in the manner provided by art. X, sec. 12, Constitution of the State of
Alaska. In those circumstances, legislative review of a reclassification
proposal does not eliminate the requirement for voter approval of a
reclassification proposal under
AS
29.04.040.
