ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 94-8, SIDE A
Number 001
The Senate Community & Regional Affairs Committee was called to
order by Chairman Randy Phillips at 9:01 a.m. He noted that
Senator Taylor was absent due to undergoing back surgery out of
state and that Senator Leman was unable to get back to Juneau
because of inclement weather. Because the committee lacked a
quorum, he said only testimony would be taken on the calendared
legislation.
Number 005
SENATOR RANDY PHILLIPS introduced SB 203 (MUNICIPAL POLICE
SERVICES) as the first order of business. Because there were no
witnesses in Juneau or on the teleconference network to testify on
the legislation, the committee moved on to the next item on the
calendar.
Number 030
SENATOR RANDY PHILLIPS brought SB 255 (STATE POLICY ON HUMAN
RESOURCE DEVELOPMT) before the committee as the next order of
business.
Number 050
BRUCE GERAGHTY, Deputy Commissioner, Department of Community &
Regional Affairs, speaking to a work draft of a proposed committee
substitute, said it is a good work draft, with the exception of the
first sentence in subsection (g). The way the Job Training Council
is constructed in federal law it does not give much latitude to
include the membership of the other departments on the Council.
The language in that sentence is broad enough that it could cause
problems for the departments if they are not there at the table
participating with Council business. He suggested that the overall
direction of that section would not be radically changed with the
deletion of the sentence.
Number 095
SENATOR ADAMS restated his intention to propose an amendment to the
bill which would add the Department of Fish and Game to the list of
departments named in the bill.
Number 110
There being no other witnesses to testify on SB 255, SENATOR RANDY
PHILLIPS stated it would be back before the committee at its next
meeting.
Number 115
SENATOR RANDY PHILLIPS brought SB 2 (PAY EQUITY BASED ON VALUE OF
WORK) before the committee as the next order of business.
Number 120
SENATOR ADAMS moved that SB 2 and its accompanying fiscal note be
passed out of committee with individual recommendations. The roll
was taken with the following result: Senators Adams and Zharoff
voted "Yea" and Senator Randy Phillips voted "Nay." The Chair
stated the motion failed and that the bill would be back before the
committee at its next meeting.
Number 135
SENATOR RANDY PHILLIPS brought SB 39 (RETIREMENT CREDITED SERVICE
& BENEFITS) before the committee as the final order of business.
ROXANNE STEWART, staff to Senator Jim Duncan, directed attention to
a proposed amendment to SB 39. She explained it would allow the
cost of living increases that occur while a person is reemployed to
be added on to their retirement benefit after they retire the
second time.
Number 165
SENATOR PHILLIPS stated that SB 39 would be held over until the
next meeting, and he requested that a fiscal note be provided for
the additional provision to the bill.
There being no further business to come before the committee, the
meeting was adjourned at 9:12 a.m.
