Access North Slope Borough Municipal Services and Notices via Website

The North Slope Borough directs residents of Utqiaġvik and the villages of Atqasuk, Anaktuvuk Pass, Kaktovik, Nuiqsut, Point Hope, Point Lay and Wainwright to centralized municipal services and notices through its official website and departments. The borough, which spans nearly 95,000 square miles across northern Alaska, uses its online presence to publish service information, community events and the proceedings of the North Slope Borough Assembly.

On the borough site, visitors are told: "On this website, you can access information about the services we provide along with important upcoming community events and the proceedings of the North Slope Borough Assembly. Visitors can also find information useful in planning a trip to see this beautiful part of the world that we call home." That language frames the site both as a hub for municipal business and as an introduction to the region’s cultural and tourism resources.

Residents looking for official communications should consult the "Latest News" section, which the borough describes with the subheading "Find out what’s going on & stay up to date." One recent item listed under Latest News is titled "NSB Press Release – Doyon Rig Incident" and is dated January 23, 2026; the posting on the borough site provides the title and date but no further details in the text available for this report. The borough posts press releases and notices online, making the site a key point of contact for developing events and municipal announcements.

Local governance and community priorities are prominent on the site. Mayor Josiah Patkotak is identified as the North Slope Borough Mayor, and the borough’s stated mission reads: "The North Slope Borough is committed to having healthy communities, economically, spiritually and culturally. The borough works with the tribes, cities, corporations, schools, and businesses to support a strong culture, encourage families and employees to choose a healthy lifestyle, and sustain a vibrant economy." The site also highlights cultural preservation with the header "Preserving the Iñupiat culture" and invites readers to "Find out more about the People of the Arctic in one of the earth’s most challenging environments."

For direct contact and routine business, the borough provides a single contact block: North Slope Borough, P.O. Box 69, Utqiagvik, AK 99723; phone 907-852-2611; email info@north-slope.org; street address 1274 Agvik Street. Those lines remain the primary public points of access listed for questions about services, events or assembly proceedings.

For residents across the region’s widely dispersed communities, a centralized online hub can reduce the friction of obtaining notices, filing requests and tracking assembly business. Expect municipal updates, press releases and event postings to continue appearing on the borough site; for specific procedures, forms or the full text of the January 23, 2026 press release on the Doyon Rig Incident, contact the North Slope Borough directly.
