(a) In determining whether dissolution of a city is in the best interests of the state under AS 29.06.500(a) or 3 AAC 110.280, the commission may consider relevant factors, including
(1) the extent to which
the city is providing services, receiving revenue, and incurring
debt;
(2) whether a government or
organization other than the state is willing and able to provide all services
and facilities necessary to meet the needs of the community;
(3) whether dissolution of the city is likely
to endanger the health, safety, or general welfare of residents in or near the
city proposed for dissolution;
(4)
the effect that the proposed dissolution will have on the harmony of relations
among residents of the city proposed for dissolution, and between the residents
of the city and others residing near the city;
(5) the social and economic impacts of the
proposed dissolution on other municipalities or communities in the
state;

proposed dissolution on the long-term stability of the finances of other

commission reflecting the legal standards and principles that guide commission
action in furthering the development of maximum local self-government with a
minimum number of local government units.
(b) Absent a specific and persuasive showing to the contrary, the commission will presume that a petition for dissolution of a city within an organized borough promotes a minimum number of local government units in accordance with art. X, sec. 1, Constitution of the State of Alaska.
