North Slope Borough Website Centralizes Services, Meetings, Contact Information

The North Slope Borough’s official website consolidates the region’s municipal structure and service information for residents of Utqiaġvik (Barrow), Prudhoe Bay/Deadhorse, Point Hope, Wainwright, Anaktuvuk Pass, Atqasuk, Kaktovik, Nuiqsut and Point Lay. The site outlines the borough’s governance framework, including the Mayor’s Office and Assembly membership, and lists departmental responsibilities that shape daily life across the North Slope.

Key departments identified on the site include Administration and Finance; Assembly and Clerk; Capital Improvement Program Management; and Planning and Community Services, along with other units that coordinate core municipal functions. The borough’s scope of services described online encompasses public safety, borough-run health and social services, solid waste management, and education support through school district budgeting and oversight. Capital projects and press releases are published to keep residents informed about infrastructure priorities and local government actions.

The website functions as the authoritative resource for practical information residents rely on. Contact information for elected officials and department staff is available, enabling direct communication on local issues. Assembly meeting schedules and public notices are posted to facilitate transparency and community participation. Updates on capital projects give residents insight into timelines and funding priorities that affect roads, facilities and essential services across the region.

For communities in the remote Arctic environment of the North Slope, centralized access to municipal information matters for safety, access to services and civic engagement. Timely press releases and public notices can provide critical updates on service changes, emergency responses and decisions that influence local budgets and the delivery of health, education and waste services. Consolidated contact directories and departmental descriptions help residents identify the right office for concerns ranging from social services to planning and capital improvements.

By presenting governance structure, departmental roles and schedules in one place, the borough website aims to improve communication between local government and the communities it serves. Residents seeking to follow assembly business, inquire about a specific service or track a capital project will find the site a primary source for official notices, schedules and departmental contacts relevant to daily life across North Slope communities.
