PROPOSITION  1

Ratification of Ordinance 964

Section 3-9 of the Home Rule Charter for the City and Borough of Wrangell provides that the borough-operated Wrangell Medical Center shall be operated by a board established by ordinance and elected by the voters. Because voters approved the transfer of the Wrangell Medical Center’s operations and maintenance to Southeast Alaska Health Consortium (SEARHC) at the borough’s October 2, 2018 Regular Election, and it is as a result no longer operated by the borough, the Assembly adopted Ordinance No. 964, which proposed amending the Charter by repealing Section 3-9.

Shall the Home Rule Charter of the City and Borough of Wrangell be amended to repeal Section 3-9, Wrangell Medical Center, as set forth in Ordinance No. 964?

               Yes        (oval)

               No         (oval)

The polls for said election will be open at 8:00 a.m. on the said day and will close at 8:00 p.m. on the same day.

Each voter must have the qualifications prescribed by state law.  A qualified voter shall vote only once per election and shall exercise that right at the polling place established in the designated Wrangell Precinct (James & Elsie Nolan Museum/Civic Center) and in which he/she resides within the borough boundaries of the City and Borough of Wrangell.
