  • R. Local Government Profile
    2020 Approved General Government Operating Budget Appendix R Local Government Profile Geography Anchorage is located in south central Alaska situated on a broad plain at the head of the Cook Inlet. It lies slightly farther north than Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki and St. Petersburg. • Anchorage According to the United States Census Bureau, the Juneau municipality has a total area of 1980 square miles. Organization In 1975, the citizens of the Anchorage area ratified a Home Rule Charter for a unified municipal government. Under the Municipal Charter, the City of Anchorage, incorporated in 1920, the Greater Anchorage Are Borough, incorporated in 1964, and two small incorporated communities, Girdwood and Glen Alps were dissolved as of September 15, 1975, and the Municipality became their legal successor. Being a unified home rule municipality, the Municipality is responsible for a wide range of public services that are commonly provided through both a city and a county government. The chief executive officer of the Municipality is the Mayor, who is elected at-large to a three- year term and who may not serve more than two consecutive terms. Subject to confirmation by the Assembly, the Mayor appoints the Municipal Manager, the Municipal Attorney, the Chief Fiscal Officer, and all head of municipal departments.

A minimum of eight members of the Assembly must vote to override a veto by the Mayor. The legislative power of the Municipality is vested in the Assembly comprised of eleven members, elected by district, to three-year staggering terms and who may not service more than three consecutive terms.

  • Spotted Knapweed, Centaurea Stoebe, Early Detection and Rapid Response in Alaska
    Spotted Knapweed, Centaurea stoebe, Early Detection and Rapid Response in Alaska Gino Graziano Division of Agriculture, Plant Materials Center [email protected] 907-745-8127 Project Funded by the USFWS, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Summary Spotted knapweed, Centaurea stoebe, is targeted for eradication in Alaska because it presents a serious threat to natural and agricultural resources, and is present in few locations in Alaska. The enclosed report resulted from a 2 year project funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Through this project each infestation of spotted knapweed was visited to confirm its continued presence or absence. The project implemented outreach advertisements through radio, the Milepost, and fliers distributed to passengers of the Alaska ferry system to foster public participation in prevention and early detection. We suggest prevention activities for land managers which include ensuring clean equipment is used if brought from sources outside Alaska. Habitat suitability was modeled from the presence of existing locations with the assistance of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Finally, tasks to continue eradication and prevention efforts into the future are discussed. Introduction Spotted knapweed, Centaurea stoebe, is recorded as present or having occurred at 23 locations in Alaska. Of those original 23 locations only 5 infestations still persist. Infestations of such highly invasive plants are obvious high priorities for Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) in Alaska. Spotted knapweed is a notorious invasive plant that has infested millions of acres in the Western United States, and parts of Canada. Knapweed ranks 86/100 according to the Invasive Plant Ranking System for Alaska (Carlson et al.

  • 6 Transportation Analysis
    Interior Alaska Transportation Plan November 2010 6 Transportation Analysis 6.1 Highway Transportation Analysis The highway transportation analysis considers the following factors: Roadway Operations: planning assessment based on highway traffic forecasts. Safety: crash data assessment, special interest areas, safety plans (Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), SHSP), and predictive safety improvements. Roadway Conditions and System Needs: roadway system needs, planned improvements, resource needs (i.e. pipeline), railroad (grade separation), and local community access. Maintenance & Operations: maintenance stations, deferred and preventive maintenance, and maintenance management systems. Pavement Preservation and Management: pavement preservation, pavement management, and weight restrictions. Security: border crossing and the Alyeska Pipeline. Tourism Enhancements: scenic byways and rest areas (signage and accessibility). 6.1.1 Roadway Capacity Using the 2030 forecast traffic volumes, a comprehensive roadway capacity evaluation was completed for all of the major rural highways. A planning level assessment based on the existing highway characteristics and 2030 traffic forecasts revealed no major roadway capacity constraints. Under long-term conditions, all roadway facilities within the study area will continue to operate at a LOS C or better, with most facilities forecast to operate at LOS A and B. As discussed in Section Error! Reference source not found. Highway Traffic Forecasts, the potential impacts of future resource and economic development would have the greatest impact on rural highway operations. However, based on the future traffic operations assessment assuming a relatively average (i.e. medium growth) annual growth in highway traffic, traffic volumes would have to double or even triple on average in order to impact the capacity needs in the system.
