North Slope Borough website centralizes services, public records and notices

The North Slope Borough website serves as the official hub for municipal information, consolidating department contacts, meeting agendas, press releases, and public records access for Utqiagvik and village communities. That centralized access matters because it shapes how residents monitor assembly actions, track capital projects, and respond to emergency and community notices across the Arctic jurisdiction.

North Slope Borough website centralizes services, public records and notices
Source: alaskamigratorybirds.com

The North Slope Borough maintains a centralized website that provides the borough mayor and assembly offices, department listings, contact information, and links to services residents use every day. The site presents the borough mission to support healthy, culturally rooted communities across a large Arctic jurisdiction that includes Utqiagvik and village communities. It lists core departments such as Administration and Finance, Assembly and Clerk, Capital Improvement Program Management, Public Works, Iñupiat History Language and Culture, Wildlife Management, Planning, and others.

The site is the authoritative source for assembly agendas and minutes, ordinances, press releases and public records requests for borough government. It posts borough news and press releases including project announcements, capital improvement updates, and community notices, and maintains meeting calendars and agendas for the assembly which meets monthly. Practical contact details are published on the site, including the borough physical address at 1274 Agvik Street, Utqiagvik, the main phone line at 907 852 2611, and a general email for questions at info@north-slope.org.

For residents across Prudhoe Bay and the Deadhorse area, Point Hope, Wainwright and other North Slope villages, the website is a primary source for procurement and RFP postings, department contacts for public works health and wildlife, and municipal announcements including emergency notices. Public records and ordinance postings on the site enable community members to follow policy changes, review the legal framework guiding borough actions, and obtain documentation needed for oversight and participation.

Institutionally, a centralized online presence concentrates the borough s public information in one place, which can reduce confusion and improve access for remote communities. The availability of assembly agendas and supporting materials in advance of monthly meetings supports civic engagement by giving residents the opportunity to follow deliberations, submit public comment and track capital improvement planning that affects local infrastructure and services.

Residents who need official documents, meeting schedules or departmental contacts are directed to use the North Slope Borough website as the primary reference, and to contact the borough offices using the published address phone number or email for specific inquiries and public records requests.
