Submitting New By-Laws

1. Pass by-law change through general membership. 
2. Email full updated draft by-laws with change to the below organizations. Note: The draft document should reflect the changes, but they do not have to be marked up.
   1. Clerk’s Office:  wwmasmc@anchorageak.gov 
   2. FCC Office: info@communitycouncils.org
3. The following steps will be taken by the Muni

1.  
   1. The Clerk’s Office will send the document to the Municipal Ombudsman for review.
   2. The Ombudsman will review the document for conformity with Municipal Code, Chapter 2.40 – Community Councils.
   3. After the review, the Ombudsman will advise the Clerk’s Office and the Council of their determination and recommendation.
   4. If the document is determined to be conforming and the recommendation is acceptance, the Clerk’s Office will submit the by-laws to the Assembly for acceptance. They will go through the Assembly process and be finalized when accepted by the Assembly.
   5. If the Ombudsman determines that the bylaws are nonconforming, the Ombudsman will inform the Council and the Clerk’s Office regarding the nonconforming elements of the document.
2. When possible, CC info@communitycouncils.org so that your Council website and internal files has all draft and accepted versions of the updated by-laws.
3. By-Laws are not official until accepted by the Assembly.
4. The Clerk’s Office and the FCC keep records of Community Council by-laws.
