The establishment of community councils is recognized in section 8.01 of the municipal charter: The assembly by ordinance shall provide for establishment of community councils to afford citizens an opportunity for maximum community involvement and self-determination. The ordinance shall include procedures for negotiation between the local government and each community council with respect to the duties and responsibilities of the community council. In this chapter 2.40, the assembly establishes basic community council procedures to implement self-determination and maximize community involvement through independent community councils.
(AO No. 2014-3(S), § 1, 2-11-2014)
The purpose of this chapter is to implement the charter by providing a direct and continuing means of citizen participation in government and local affairs. Community councils are intended to give:
A. 
The people a method by which they can work together for expression and discussion of their opinions, needs and desires in a manner that will have an impact on their community's development and services.
B. 
Governmental agencies a method for receiving opinions, needs, desires and recommendations of residents and groups.
C. 
Local governing bodies an improved basis for decision-making assignment of priorities for all programs affecting community development and individual well-being.
(GAAB 5.75.010; AO No. 2014-3(S), § 1, 2-11-2014)

1. 
Definition of the boundaries of the community council as set forth in sections 2.40.040D and 2.40.090; identification of boundaries by code reference and associated map number under section 2.40.040 is sufficient and preferred.

13. 
Conflict of interest. Community councils shall not endorse a candidate for federal, state or municipal elected office.
14. 
The community council shall not charge dues, or require other financial contribution as a condition of membership or participation. A community council may receive gifts, grants, contributions, or in-kind donations from members or others to meet the costs of its operations, including voluntary dues, provided that membership, participation, and voting privileges shall not be predicated upon payment.
(AO No. 2014-3(S), § 1, 2-11-2014)
A. 
Standards. The assembly shall define community council districts so as to group residents within natural communities and so as to recognize community desires as to boundaries. Natural communities are defined as areas within the municipality that are divided one from another by physical or traffic barriers, and that have common interests, and that have or are achieving a distinct identity by reason of geography, history, population, transportation and other factors. Population is not a criterion.
B. 
Procedures for changes in districts. Review and amendment of community council district boundaries shall adhere to the standards for defining district boundaries set forth in subsection A above, and follow a public process. Reviews shall occur periodically to ensure that community council district boundaries adjust through decades of neighborhood growth and change, and continue to reflect and represent actual neighborhoods, as follows:
1. 
Initiation and timing of boundary reviews. Review of community council district boundaries and the number of districts shall occur upon assembly or planning and zoning commission initiative or at the request of the mayor or one or more community councils; however, a comprehensive review of district boundaries and the number of districts shall occur at least once every ten years, following the release of decennial U.S. Census results and after assembly redistricting is acted upon and any court appeals are disposed of.
2. 
Public review process. For any review of one or more district boundaries, the planning department shall obtain public input and the participation of community councils on possible changes to community council district boundaries, and shall submit to the planning and zoning commission and assembly a report and recommendations on district boundaries. The planning and zoning commission shall review the report, and after conducting a public hearing, forward its recommendation to the assembly. Upon receipt of the recommendation, the assembly shall conduct a public hearing and by ordinance may adjust community council district boundaries. The assembly and the planning and zoning commission shall each solicit and consider the recommendations of community councils concerning changes in community council district boundaries.
C. 
Initial districts. Initially, the suggested district boundaries were those described in appendix A to GAAB 5.75.030B, a copy of which is available in the office of the municipal clerk.

(GAAB 5.75.040; AO No. 2014-3(S), § 1, 2-11-2014; AO No. 2016-27(S), § 1, 4-12-2016)
A. 
Notice and submission of proposals for review by community council. In supplement to the community council functions in section 2.40.050 and except where action must be taken on an emergency basis, the mayor shall be responsible for giving to community councils an opportunity to participate in the formulation of, and to review and comment upon, all land use, social and economic proposals which in the opinion of the mayor, the assembly, or the agency head involved, will have a significant impact on all or a substantial portion of district residents. Such notice shall not preempt due process requirements in code or regulation.

B. 
On and after January 1, 2014, land use notice to community councils shall meet or exceed the requirements for community council notice specified in municipal code section 21.03.020H and summarized in Table 21.03-1. In recognition that special land use permits for marijuana-related land use is a significant change for all communities within the municipality, neighborhood responsibility planning guidelines are provided to assist in neighborhood engagement.
1. 
Neighborhood engagement without liability to community councils. Meaningful engagement in neighborhood responsibility planning is a benefit to the owner/operator of a marijuana retail establishment and nothing in this chapter, title 10, or title 21 regarding special land use permits and municipal licenses for marijuana retail establishments may be used to infer or create community council liability. For purposes of neighborhood engagement, marijuana retail sales establishments and the respective owner/operator of any marijuana retail sales establishment are collectively referred to as "marijuana retailers".
2. 
Neighborhood responsibility planning guidelines for marijuana retail sales establishments (marijuana retailers). Assembly issuance of special land use permits for the retail sale of marijuana under AMC title 21 and the related licensing and regulation of marijuana retailers under AMC chapter 10.80 require the marijuana retailer to meaningfully engage in neighborhood responsibility planning with residents and other neighborhood businesses to mitigate concerns such as odor, parking, and security. To provide community councils and marijuana retailers assistance in fostering a mutually beneficial relationship for the community, these guidelines are made available. As soon as practicable, applicants for a State of Alaska license to operate a marijuana retail sales establishment within any community council district, and the duly authorized representative(s) of the community council, are encouraged to engage in neighborhood responsibility planning and endeavor to:
a. 
Establish a point of contact for each licensed marijuana retailer, with the name and contact information, including an after-hours contact for community alerts and assistance.
b. 
Establish the community council's preferred method of communication, including a designated point of contact, and contact information.
c. 
Develop a schedule of mutual engagement and outreach to the community council and immediate residents and property owners within 500 feet of the establishment to touch base and mitigate any potential issues. For Chugiak-Eagle River, mutual engagement and outreach for marijuana retail establishments located within a community council district identified on Map 1 and Map 2 of section 2.40.090 of this chapter, will include the community council, residents and property owners within 1,000 feet of the establishment, and the Chugiak-Eagle River Advisory Board established in section 4.60.105.
d. 
Develop a resolution process which outlines how problems and issues of mutual concern will be brought forward and addressed by the marijuana retailer, community council, residents, and/or other businesses.
e. 
Identify and designate two individuals authorized to speak on behalf of the marijuana retailer at community council meetings.
f. 
Encourage community council member participation by the marijuana retailer and identify the preferred months for the licensed marijuana business to attend by representative.
g. 
Address other matters of concern identified by either the applicant or the council.
h. 
Develop a memorandum of understanding, to include all items discussed, the detail on items concluded, and the plan for any items still in progress.
3. 
Neighborhood responsibility planning is an informal process. Neighborhood responsibility planning is intended to facilitate ease of integration of the new business into the community. To assist with development, an outline of planning topics and potential provisions meeting the intent are set out for ease of reference and adaptation in Exhibit B.[1] Exhibit B provisions may be expanded and revised to reflect particulars of the neighborhood responsibility planning engaged in by the marijuana retailer with the community council.
[1]
Editor's note — Said exhibit is included as an attachment to this title.
C. 
Response to community councils. In the event of a written communication from a community council requesting information, recommending municipal action such as, but not limited to, inclusion of items on the Capital Improvement Project list, or modification of municipal law or policy, or acting upon a municipal proposal submitted pursuant to subsection A of this section, the appropriate municipal officials shall respond within 30 days or such shorter time as may be reasonable. The response shall include the reasons for the municipal position. If a detailed or informative response will require more than thirty days to complete, the community council shall be given the information timely available within 30 days, and a date by which the response will be completed.
D. 
Safeguarding fair, efficient and equitable community council relations and practices. The assembly may request review and recommendation from the office of the ombudsman or other assembly designee to assist in maintaining appropriate procedures and support with respect to community council duties and responsibilities. Such request may be from the assembly chair, the Assembly Rules Committee, or by action of the assembly. Bylaw review and items relating to actions or inactions of community councils and community council officers may be referred to the Assembly Rules Committee.

A. 
Purpose. The community council maps of this chapter have the following purposes:

Provide residents of the municipality with a clear and accurate set of descriptions for all community council districts and their boundaries, together in one accessible document, and in a consistent format;
2. 
Ensure that residents can easily read, understand, and define their community council district boundaries;
3. 
Document future changes to community council district boundaries in this section.
B. 
Map interpretations. The community council maps in this chapter shall be interpreted as follows:
1. 
A community council district boundary line on the map that follows a street, highway or railroad or the meanderings of a river or creek on the map shall be interpreted as following the centerline of the street, highway, railroad, river, or creek.
2. 
A community council district boundary line on the map that follows a property line or section line on the map shall be interpreted as falling on that property or section line as it existed on the 22nd day of July, 2003.
3. 
A community council district boundary line on the map that follows the boundary of a public land or facility that is shaded on the map shall be interpreted as falling on the boundary of that public land or facility.
4. 
Where a community council district boundary line on the map does not follow a road, stream, property boundary, or section line, and instead follows some other prominent physical feature such as a ridgeline between watershed valleys, the community council district boundary shall be interpreted as falling on the feature that is labeled alongside the boundary line.
5. 
The boundary of a community council that abuts, adjoins or is adjacent to either Turnagain Arm or Knik Arm of Cook Inlet extends seaward to mean low or lower water.

To facilitate Assembly acceptance, the Ombudsman will notify a community council of any nonconformity requiring correction. Bylaws deemed by the Ombudsman in conformity with Chapter 2.40 will be presented by assembly information memorandum from the Municipal Clerk at the next assembly meeting following notification from the Ombudsman, or as soon as practicable."
"The filing period for new or amended bylaws is 120 days from the effective date of this ordinance, subject to an automatic extension for up to 90 additional days upon the community council filing written notice to the Municipal Clerk. In the absence of new or amended bylaws timely filed with the Municipal Clerk, the bylaws in Exhibit A shall be deemed in effect until acceptance of new or amended bylaws by the Assembly. In place of a provision not accepted by the Assembly, a comparable bylaw provision in Exhibit A may be substituted by the Assembly in the acceptance."
