(2) the city is free of debt or has satisfied each creditor with a method of repayment; and

(3) the city
(A) no longer meets the standards for incorporation of cities, as set out in AS 29.05 and 3 AAC 110.005 - 3 AAC 110.042;

(B) has ceased to exercise any of its mandatory powers; or

(C) is included within an organized borough that assumes, on an areawide, nonareawide, or service-area basis, all the rights, powers, duties, assets, and liabilities of the city.

(b) Repealed 1/9/2008.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, in determining whether a city is free of debt or has satisfied each creditor with a method of repayment, the commission will require an audit identifying all assets and liabilities of the city. For the proposed dissolution of a home rule or first class city, and for the proposed dissolution of a second class city that has undergone an audit in each of the three years immediately preceding the petition for dissolution, the audit must be performed by an independent certified public accountant. For the proposed dissolution of a second class city that has not undergone an audit in each of the three years immediately preceding the petition for dissolution, the department shall submit a written report identifying all assets and liabilities of that city.
