MARCO PIGNALBERI, Legislative Assistant to Representative John Cowdery Alaska State Legislature Capitol Building, Room 422 Juneau, Alaska 99801 Telephone: (907) 465-2693 POSITION STATEMENT: Presented HB 309. ACTION NARRATIVE TAPE 98-1, SIDE A Number 0001 CHAIRMAN PETE KOTT called the House Rules Standing Committee meeting to order at 5:32 p.m. Members present at the call to order were Representatives Kott, Phillips, Porter and Williams. Representative Nicholia arrived at 5:34 p.m. HB 309 - NAMING ATWOOD BLDG IN ANCHORAGE Number 0026 CHAIRMAN KOTT announced the committee would hear HB 309, "An Act naming the Robert B. Atwood Building," sponsored by Representative Cowdery. Number 0065 ANNETTE DEAL, Legislative Staff to Representative John Cowdery, Alaska State Legislature, informed the committee that HB 309 was moved out of the House State Affairs Committee the previous week. She informed the committee, while referring to a proposed committee substitute (CS), that the last sentence was added which specifies the date for the naming of the building. She stated there is also a change in the first sentence where the date March 31, 2002, was also added. Ms. Deal said the reason for the change is a lease provision currently exists between the state and the Bank of America Building. The current name is to remain with the building until the Bank of America lease expires or the tenant relinquishes its lease which could be at an earlier date than what is specified in the lease. Number 0136 CHAIRMAN KOTT noted there is a proposed committee substitute that includes the lease dates. He informed the committee members that the lease agreement extends up through March 2002. He said, "We can't rename it until that point in time or the owners in the state agree to an earlier change." Number 0175 REPRESENTATIVE GAIL PHILLIPS asked who will be designated as the entity or person in the state who would make that decision by the year 2002, if the name isn't changed or if there is a problem. She asked if the word "state" should be identified. Number 0217 MARCO PIGNALBERI, Legislative Assistant to Representative John Cowdery, Alaska State Legislature, came forward to testify. He stated he has had discussions with Keith Gerkin and Dugan Petty of the Division of General Services, Department of Administration. That division would handle any lease changes or naming changes subsequent to the lease. Number 0251 REPRESENTATIVE PHILLIPS asked if that is standard procedure and it doesn't need to be identified in the legislation. Number 0262 MR. PIGNALBERI responded in the affirmative. Number 0270 REPRESENTATIVE BRIAN PORTER said it is his understanding that if there is an agreement to change the name before December 30, 2002, that the only alternative they have is to name it the Robert B. Atwood Building and not something else. CHAIRMAN KOTT indicated there were no further questions or witnesses to testify. Number 0298 REPRESENTATIVE PORTER made the following motion: "I would move that we move from committee -- adopt Version E, dated 1/23/98, and having adopted that with the same vote, then move from committee CS for HB 309 with individual recommendations." Number 0318 CHAIRMAN KOTT explained there are two motions before the committee. One is to adopt the committee substitute Version E. The second motion is to move the bill from committee. Number 0333 MR. PIGNALBERI indicated the correct version is Version B. Number 0359 REPRESENTATIVE PORTER said, "I would amend my motion to Version B, dated 1/26/98." CHAIRMAN KOTT clarified the motion was to adopt Version B. Without objection, Version B was before the committee. CHAIRMAN KOTT explained the second motion is to move Version B from committee with individual recommendations and with the accompanying zero fiscal note. He asked if there was an objection. There being none, CSHB 309(RLS) was moved out of the House Rules Standing Committee. ADJOURNMENT Number 0412 CHAIRMAN KOTT adjourned the House Rules Committee meeting at 5:37 p.m.
