ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 93-2, SIDE A
Number 000
The meeting was called to order at approximately 5:45 p.m.
by Chairman Gary Davis. A quorum was not present for the
meeting.
CHAIRMAN DAVIS invited DEBRA BEHR, from the DEPARTMENT OF
LAW, to come back at a later date when more committee
members would be present to listen to her overview. The
discussion of HJR 11 and SJR 11 was postponed as well.
Chairman Davis decided to have BONNIE WILLIAMS make her
presentation since the teleconference was set up.
BONNIE WILLIAMS, CHAIR, GOVERNOR'S TASK FORCE ON REGULATORY
REVIEW, discussed the creation and mission of the task
force. She said the main objective of the task force was to
determine regulations that inhibit economic productivity.
Task Force members contacted various industries and inquired
about what regulations were most costly and elicited
complaints. The task force then developed recommendations
and changes to regulations and administrative codes.
MS. WILLIAMS said the three areas where the most complaints
were heard involved agriculture, mining, and underground
storage tanks. Other areas rendering complaints included
tourism, contamination, fishing guides, and EPA
(Environmental Protection Agency) drinking water. There
were also some unresolved items regarding state procurement
procedures involving private enterprise and the University
of Fairbanks.
MS. WILLIAMS noted that other findings included that many
mandates are placed upon the state by the federal
government, especially through the EPA. However, in many
cases, Alaska often increases the requirements.
MS. WILLIAMS said the task force membership included:
Charles P. Boddy, vice president of Usibelli Coal in
Fairbanks;
Edwin Bostrom, a farmer/beekeeper in the North Pole;
Craig Ingham, president of McKinley Bank in Fairbanks;
Sandra Jacques, D.C., an Anchorage chiropractor;
Gloria McCutcheon, president of Alaska Fish & Farm
Products, Inc., in Anchorage;
Roy Ricketts, executive director of Fairbanks
Industrial Development Authority;
Wayne Stevens, executive director of the Kodiak Chamber
of Commerce;
Kathleen Weeks, an Anchorage attorney who formerly
worked for the Pacific Legal Foundation;
Senator Bert Sharp and Representative Carl Moses.
MS. WILLIAMS acknowledged that the task force was somewhat
biased towards Fairbanks and the interior in terms of its
membership. She stated this was part of an effort to reduce
travel and communication costs.
MS. WILLIAMS stated that the task force would meet on
Saturday, February 27, to go over their draft copy of
recommendations and hopefully be able to finalize it for
publication. If not, there was a tentative meeting
scheduled for March 13 if needed. Once the draft is
finalized, Ms. Williams said she would look forward to
meeting with the committee and going into specifics as to
the task force's recommendations.
CHAIRMAN DAVIS adjourned the meeting at 6:00 p.m.
