AN OPEN LETTER TO
THE RESIDENTS OF SOLDOTNA:
In the past few weeks, there has been indication of some concern
on the subject of “Why Ted Grainge should remain on the City Coun
cil since he has moved outside the City and therefore has forfeited his
rights as a qualified voter.’’ We feel that an explanation is in order.
At the time Mr. Grainge was elected, he was a resident within
the City and was qualified, according to our election rules, to become
a Council member, if elected. After that time, he agreed to act as a
caretaker and live in a residence which is situated outside the City
limits. The term of this verbal agreement was for a year or less.
When he decided to do this, he submitted his resignation to tho
City Council. The Council, after considering the facts that it was a
temporary action and that he would still be attending Council meetings
and that his business investment inside the City did not change except
for more investment, determined that this was not an act for resigna
tion and therefore did not accept the resignation.
On April 21st, a written challenge was received from a qualified
voter of the City and an opinion was requested from our City attorney
which reads as follows:
“Although the language of Sec. 29.25.120 is not clear on the point
you want an answer for, and may be interpreted otherwise by the Su
preme Court someday, it would seem to us that its emphasis is on the
qualifications of a Councilman at the time he is elected x*ather than
.during his whole term. We would think that a reasonable rule adopted
by the Council governing the special situation of a councilman who
temporarily moves outside the City, but still remains active in its af
fairs, would be legal and would provide a solution to this problem.
We accordingly suggest that the following language be added to
•the present rule governing the qualifications for holding office on the
Soldotna City Council: ‘If during his term of office, a Councilman
moves outside the City limits, but does not intend to remain there
permanently, he may continue to serve as Councilman for the remain
der of his term, provided, in the opinion of the remaining Councilmen,
he continues to faithfully discharge his responsibilities to the voters.’ ”
In view of the above opinion, the Council feels that they should
endeavor to enact an election ordinance including rules of precedure,
within the next few weeks.
The Council would also like to inform residents that a financial
statement as of May 1st will be published shortly and any questions
regarding the financial statement will be taken up at a regular Coun
cil meeting. A budget for next year will also be presented.
Sincerely,
SOLDOTNA CITY COUNCIL
