Intent language was not included in the motion.
DAVID TEAL, DIRECTOR, LEGISLATIVE FINANCE DIVISION clarified that
the House action relates to items 3 and 4. The difference between
these items is $280 thousand, which is the same as between items
7 and 8. These are transfers. Number 9 is a general fund cut of
$280 thousand. This amount was transferred from village public
safety officers to marine enforcement. There is no real impact in
terms of the bottom line. The Senate approach would take
interagency receipts from the Department of Fish and Game. The
intent is to keep the [Woldstatd and Stimson] vessels
operational.
There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered.

amounts for the Legislature (see motion sheets). There being NO
OBJECTION, it was so ordered.
Chair Harris pointed out that item number 3 under the Department
of Administration is not intent language. Senator Green MOVED to
ADOPT the House numbers minus $100 for item 3.
Senator Hoffman noted that Alaska Public Officers Commission was
eliminated in the Senate. He observed that the House numbers
would be below the previous year's budget and questioned how the
Commission would be able to operate.
Chair Harris observed that legislation is pending which would
provide the additional funding needed. Senator Green noted that
there is also funding in the Lieutenant Governor's budget.
Mr. Teal explained that the Governor's budget reduced the item
[Alaska Public Officers Commission] by $500 thousand, but $200
thousand was transferred to the Lieutenant Governor's Office to
maintain some functions. He explained that because the House and
Senate budgets both included the transfer it cannot be included
in conference. The money must be moved to APOC administratively.
If more money were required it would go into the fiscal note
accompanying the legislation pertaining to APOC [SB 119}.
There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 4:30 p.m.
