If the commissioner is to make a decision or determination under this chapter concerning a village for which no village entity is formally recognized under 3 AAC 190.110 - 3 AAC 190.150, the commissioner will first consult with a meeting of village residents. A meeting of village residents will be convened and conducted under the procedures set out in 3 AAC 190.210 - 3 AAC 190.290. After the first meeting of village residents held under 3 AAC 190.210 - 3 AAC 190.290, the commissioner will, in his or her discretion, consult with and obtain the views of the residents by the village referendum method set out in 3 AAC 190.270, rather than convening a meeting, if use of the referendum method has been approved by a prior village meeting.
