The City of Soldotna is a
first class city operating under a “Council/Manager” form of
government. Most of our powers are described in Title 29
of the Alaska Statutes. Under a “Council/Manager” form of
government, the City Manager is the Chief Administrative
Officer, executing the laws and ordinances, and administering
the government of the City in accordance with directions and
policies established by the City Council.
We hope you, residents and visitors alike,
will find our online presence useful and informative.
Peter A. Micciche, Mayor
Mayor
The Office of Mayor is an
elected position who serves as the ceremonial head of
government, executing official City documents on authorization
of the governing body. The Mayor presides over City
Council meetings, may take part in discussion of a matter before
the governing body, may vote in the case of a tie, and has
limited veto power. The Mayor appoints members to City
Boards and Commissions.
The Mayor is elected at large
and serves a term of three years.
City Council
The Soldotna City Council is
the legislative body of the City of Soldotna, and is comprised
of six members, all of whom are elected at large to designated
seats. A council member's term is three years.
The City Council enacts the laws of the city, sets the mill rate
for property taxes within the city, approves the annual budget
for the city, and appropriates funds to provide for city
services. Through ordinances, resolutions and budget adoption,
the council establishes policies and directives which are then
executed through administration. The council selects the
City Manager. (To send an
