Number 001
EO 93 & EO 94
CHAIRMAN KELLY called the Senate Labor and Commerce Committee
meeting to order at 1:35 p.m. and announced EO 93 and EO 94 to be
up for consideration.
LAMAR COTTON, Deputy Commissioner, Department of Community and
Regional Affairs, said that the Department went through a review to
see if there was an overlap of responsibilities, particularly in
the area of rural economic development. One of the conclusions was
that both DCED and DCRA thought DCRA has a stronger outreach in
rural Alaska and, because of distance and staffing, it is more
appropriate to manage Alaska Regional Organization (ARDOR) programs
in that department.
DONNA TOLLMAN, Association of Alaska ARDORS, said that they have no
objection to the change.
Number 101
GUY BELL, Director, Division of Administrative Services, DCRA, said
the Department supported EO 93. He said the transfer would
strengthen the rural service component of the ARDOR program.
SENATOR KELLY said he didn't see any interest in taking any action
on the Executive Orders and would let them sit unless something
came up in the future.
SENATOR KELLY adjourned the meeting at 1:40 p.m.
