What is the status of the Deltana Borough?
Question: What is the status of the borough issue in Delta Junction? The Local Boundary Commission (LBC) and Alaska Department of Commerce, Community & Economic Development (DCCED) were to hold public hearings before the borough proposition was to go to a public vote. Nothing has been said since LBC responded to the public comments last March/April.
Answer: The staff to the Local Boundary Commission is scheduled to submit their draft review of the Deltana Borough Commission Petition for public review and comments within two weeks. The public will have four weeks to review and comment on their report. The LBC staff will hold a public information meeting around this time. The LBC will hold hearings at a later date. The Deltana Borough Commission may also hold public information meetings separate or in conjunction with the state process.
After public hearings and completion of the LBC staff review and recommendations, the LBC will determine (1) to allow local residents to hold an election and (2) when such an election will be held. Presently, a date for such an election is not known.
