ACTION NARRATIVE
TAPE 93-11, SIDE A
Number 001
The Senate Community & Regional Affairs Committee was called
to order by Chairman Randy Phillips at 9:14 a.m. Because
only Senator Adams and Senator Phillips were present, the
Chairman stated that no action would be taken on the
calendared bills other than the taking of public testimony.
The first item on the agenda was SB 102 MUNICIPAL PROPERTY
TAX EXEMPTIONS).
RUPE ANDREWS, a member of the Capital City Task Force of the
American Association of Retired Persons, stated their
opposition to SB 102. The task force feels that even though
there are some real concerns on the part of municipalities,
a property tax is warranted for disabled veterans in Alaska
and for the senior citizens.
Mr. Andrews said it has a been policy to keep our senior
citizens in Alaska and for them to be able to remain in
their homes. He suggested that the legislature, the
Administration and the senior themselves have to develop a
more comprehensive policy, and, to that end, perhaps a task
force could be formed to see how some specific policies
towards the senior citizens of the state can be formulated.
Number 105
DUANE GUILEY, Director of School Finance, Department of
Education, informed the committee that the department had
made an error on the fiscal note provided with SB 102. He
stated the department would prepared a revised fiscal note
based on the legislation as it currently exists.
Number 110
CHAIRMAN RANDY PHILLIPS stated testimony would be taken on
SB 88 (CAPITAL PROJECT GRANTS) and SB 89 (APPROP: CAPITAL
PROJECT MATCHING GRANTS).
JACK FARGNOLI, Office of Management & Budget, Office of the
Governor, stated he was present to respond to questions.
Number 140
The final order of business was SB 42 (LOCAL SALES TAX ON
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES).
BRYCE EDGMON, staff to Senator George Jacko, directed
attention to a proposed committee substitute which would put
a cap on the number of communities that would be involved by
affecting communities that have a population 2,500 or less
in a municipality.
Lacking a quorum, CHAIRMAN RANDY PHILLIPS adjourned the
hearing at 9:22 a.m.
