ACTION NARRATIVE
1:32:50 PM
CHAIR ROBERT MYERS called the Senate Transportation Standing
Committee meeting to order at 1:32 p.m. Present at the call to
order were Senators Kiehl, Shower, and Chair Myers. Senators
Micciche and Bishop arrived as the meeting was in progress.
SB 103-AMHS OPERATION & PLANNING BOARD
1:33:25 PM
CHAIR MYERS announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 103
"An Act repealing the Alaska Marine Transportation Advisory
Board; establishing the Alaska Marine Highway System Operation
and Planning Board; and providing for an effective date."
1:34:14 PM
ANDY MILLS, Special Assistant to the Commissioner, Department of
Transportation and Public Facilities (DOTPF), Juneau, Alaska,
stated that SB 103 would restructure the Alaska Marine Highway
Advisory Board (MTAB) based on recommendations from AMHS's
Reshaping Work Group. This group was formed by the governor's
Administrative Order (AO) 313. The group held 29 meetings and
produced an October 2020 report that made 29 recommendations to
the governor, including one to restructure the board.
He explained that the Alaska Marine Highway System Operation &
Planning Board (OPB) would be better suited to address AMHS
issues than MTAB because it would have additional resources and
information.
1:35:24 PM
SENATOR MICCICHE joined the meeting.
1:35:32 PM
MR. MILLS referred to page 14 of AMHS's Reshaping Work Group
report. He read, "The current MTAB is formed of capable
individuals but not structured to effectively challenge and help
the Alaska Marine Highway System with the large marine operation
planning and execution issues that it confronts." The work
group's recommendation was to produce a board that could focus
on operations and planning; one that would be well-grounded with
outside advice focused on business and financial practices. This
board would change member credential and reporting requirements.
1:36:33 PM
MR. MILLS paraphrased the sectional analysis for SB 103:
Section 1 AS 19.65.011 is amended to change the name
of the Alaska Marine Transportation Advisory Board
(MTAB) to the Alaska Marine Highway System Operation
and Planning Board. A short-term plan (for the
development and improvement of the Alaska marine
highway system) is also added to the department's
current statutory responsibility for development of a
long-term plan.
1:37:42 PM
Section 2 AS 19.65 is amended by adding a new
subsection to establish the new Alaska Marine Highway
System Operation and Planning Board in subsection 210;
outline Board membership and terms in subsection 220;
speak to officers and a quorum in subsection 230;
stipulated meeting rules in subsection 240; address
per diem and expenses in subsection 250; address
record inspection/copying in subsection 260; establish
the Department of Law as the Boards' legal assistance
in subsection 270; document the Boards' powers, duties
and functions in subsection 280; establish that the
Department of Transportation & Public Facilities will
provide staff support to the Board in subsection 290;
and define the word 'Board' for purposes of AS 19.65
in subsection 295.
1:40:37 PM
Section 3 repeals existing subsections 110 195
within chapter 65 which speak to the old MTAB.
Section 4 adds a new section to the uncodified law
of the State of Alaska to establish staggered terms
for Board members and identify that former MTAB
members are not prohibited from being reappointed to
the new Alaska Marine Highway System Operation and
Planning Board.
Section 5 - adds a new section to the uncodified law
of the State of Alaska to establish a deadline of
September 1, 2021, for the Board's initial reports, as
required under Section 2 of the proposal, to the
governor.
Section 6 - establishes an immediate effective date.
1:42:01 PM
SENATOR BISHOP joined the meeting.
1:42:07 PM
SENATOR MICCICHE stated that an ex officio member from each body
previously served on MTAB. He asked whether including ex officio
legislature members was considered or for a specific reason not
to include them.
MR. MILLS explained that the work group did not recommend
members from the legislature serve on the board. He was unsure
why but he thought part of the reason was to pivot to
restructure and operate the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS)
more as a business. He suggested that the work group
acknowledged that MTAB required a different skillset.
1:43:33 PM
SENATOR SHOWER stated his intention to amend the bill to add
legislative members to the Operating and Planning Board (OPB).
He expressed frustration at missteps the AMHS previously made,
including purchasing Alaska [fast ferries] that were later sold
at a loss, partly because offramps were not appropriately
designed. Currently, the legislature subsidizes a significant
portion of the ferry system costs. He wondered if the new
management structure would fail because the board lacked
sufficient authority and the management structure did not
include a chief executive officer. He expressed concern that the
state continues to spend money on an unsustainable system. He
recalled that the [Inter-Island Ferry serving Hollis and
Ketchikan] consisted of 70 percent private funding and 30
percent state funding. He said that system uses a hub and spoke
model with smaller vessels. He asked what actions OPB could take
besides studying issues and compiling a report. He said it seems
as though the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities
(DOTPF) would still run the system, so he wasn't sure OPB would
work.
MR. MILLS pointed out that Senator Shower mentioned the Alaska
Class ferries; however, the fast ferries were the ones purchased
and sold. He agreed this raises a fundamental question. OPB's
effort was designed with board member expertise to inform its
decisions rather than for AMHS's competent operational staff,
busy with the day-to-day system operations, trying to squeeze in
time to analyze meaningful changes to the system. He deferred to
the deputy commissioner to speak to the board's authority.
1:47:20 PM
ROB CARPENTER, Deputy Commissioner of Surface Transportation,
Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOTPF),
Juneau, Alaska, on behalf of the administration, acknowledged
that the work group struggled to identify ways to accomplish
meaningful changes, barring going to a corporate model, such as
the ones used by the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation or the
Alaska Railroad Corporation. He envisioned that as Deputy
Commissioner, he would serve as DOTPF's designee, acting as a
liaison producing documents and providing direction to the
board. He compared that to an advisory board providing input but
not integrating or working with the agency on its mission. He
highlighted the benefits of keeping AMHS within the agency,
including allowing the department to address the multi-modal
aspects of Alaska's transportation system. If AMHS were a
separate corporation, it would not have the advantage of
conducting planning across all modes and all regions. He offered
his belief that having DOTPF staff serve on the board was
instrumental in giving the board power and authority. Second,
besides the board members with marine experience, other members
will bring business experience to the board. These members could
propose business decisions to create efficiencies that could
make AMHS more effective and able to achieve long-term
sustainability. He hoped that OPB would have sufficient power
and authority to be effective.
1:50:03 PM
SENATOR SHOWER highlighted that two ports are located in the
Mat-Su district. Although he supports the ferry system, which is
necessary because of Alaska's size, he was unsure what that
system should ultimately resemble. He opined that AMHS was
failing so another approach could achieve better results.
1:52:16 PM
SENATOR KIEHL agreed with Senator Shower that the board must
effectively challenge and help the department. He pointed out
the similarities between MTAB and the new OPB established by SB
103. SB 103 would set up OPB as an 11-member board. Just like
MTAB, OPB members will serve at the governor's pleasure, be
staffed by DOTPF and advise DOTPF's deputy commissioner.
However, OPB ultimately will not make any decisions. While he
appreciated the new board members' expertise, nothing currently
prevents the governor from appointing people with expertise. He
asked how the department could better integrate this group and
deeply involve OPB in long-term planning. He asked if OPB would
have a substantive role in the Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP) process so the board could also
consider things such as system maintenance. He was unsure if OPB
could participate in the budget process. He suggested that
someone other than the governor should appoint some members to
better insulate them from turnover. He asked what could be done
to involve the board in the department's actual work.
1:54:30 PM
MR. MILLS directed attention to the specific reporting
requirements on page 4 of SB 103. These requirements would
ensure that the board cannot omit crucial elements, such as
cost-saving or income-producing business or procurement
practices. He related his understanding that given the work
group's recommendations, the administration considers OPB as a
starting point. The administration was willing to discussing
ways this board could truly impact AMHS's operations and
planning to change AMHS's trajectory. He emphasized that this
was not a rehashing work group designed to maintain the status
quo; rather, it was evident that OPB could improve the system
for the coastal communities that AMHS serves.
1:56:24 PM
SENATOR MICCICHE said he agrees with the board composition and
member expertise except for the members established in
subparagraph (C), which read "two members, one of whom
represents an Alaska native organization or tribe and one of
whom represents a community served by the Alaska marine highway
system;". Instead, this language should read "representatives of
communities served by the AMHS, with one of those members
representing an Alaska Native organization." He explained that
the qualifications in subparagraphs (A) through (E) were system
related, but the Alaska Native representative must also
represent a coastal community served by AMHS.
He acknowledged that the board was viewed as a starting point
but expressed concern about the lack of a superior work product.
In his experience working in the private sector, to effectively
solve problems, the private sector would outline tasks and
establish deadlines for the board to meet. He suggested that the
bill establish specific work product deadlines for OPB's serious
consideration on a much more aggressive schedule. Since AMHS's
problems require action now, AMHS could garner statewide support
by highlighting that OPB recognizes it needs more effective ways
to conduct business. It would aggressively pursue those changes
to deliver outcomes in a reasonable amount of time.
1:59:30 PM
MR. CARPENTER highlighted that OPB needs to be in place as a
sounding board, but it must also be an apolitical board driven
by business-oriented members interested in making decisions
using aggressive timelines. He said the new board must consider
AMHS's current maintenance and recapitalization plans.
2:00:52 PM
CHAIR MYERS recalled the work group essentially recommended
minimizing politics for the board. He suggested establishing
longer board terms, such as five or eight years to avoid
wholesale board turnover. Since board members would serve three-
year terms under SB 103, a governor could replace all board
members during a single gubernatorial term.
MR. MILLS responded that he could not speak for Boards and
Commissions, but he recalled that their staff suggested the
standard three-year terms. However, the administration was
willing to consider longer terms.
2:02:07 PM
CHAIR MYERS noted that SB 103 reduced updates to the long-term
plan from five years to three years. However, placing updates
too close together would change it from a planning process to a
planning-to-plan process. Participants would not have time to
think through and reflect on the updates. He suggested keeping
the updates at five years.
MR. MILLS responded that five years was a long time for board
service. He related his understanding that the impetus was that
a short-term plan would apply pressure to the group to work on
specific issues actively.
CHAIR MYERS was unsure that applying pressure to the board was
as crucial as applying pressure to DOTPF.
2:04:10 PM
SENATOR BISHOP asked if the board would actively develop AMHS's
budget.
MR. CARPENTER responded that he envisioned OPB would operate
similarly to how the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority
(AMHTA) or the University of Alaska, Board of Regents operates.
OPB would compile a one-year budget and make recommendations to
the governor to provide the legislature with another
perspective, which may help depoliticize the process. He
recalled that any changes or deviations made to AMHTA's budget
would require an explanation by the legislature or the governor.
He said the planning process should include budget interaction,
which is not yet in the bill.
SENATOR BISHOP asked if the board would actively develop AMHS's
budget. He said it makes sense to base it on a five-year plan to
coincide with the STIP funding.
2:07:14 PM
SENATOR KIEHL agreed with Senator Bishop. He recalled that the
Board of Education serves at the governor's pleasure. The board
is briefed on the governor's proposed budget and then it votes
to approve it. He suggested the bill would need a slight
structural change to accomplish this.
2:08:16 PM
SENATOR SHOWER asked which agency or person has the authority to
execute the board's recommendations.
MR. CARPENTER answered that under SB 103, OPB would submit its
recommendations to DOTPF's commissioner, who would make the
final decisions. He recommended that a DOTPF staff serve on the
board as a liaison between the agency and the governor. He
envisioned that person would work with the board to develop a
consensus on issues and ways to accomplish them. This liaison
could also provide information and guidance to the commissioner
and the governor on the board's approach and rationale used to
make board recommendations.
SENATOR SHOWER agreed that it is critical to involve DOTPF in
the process; however, the commissioner will ultimately make
decisions, which has happened for a long time. It might be time
to consider a different model, but the commissioner could still
have someone serve on the board to coordinate efforts.
[SB 103 was held in committee.]
SB 105-ROAD SERVICE AREA CONSOLIDATION
2:11:40 PM
CHAIR MYERS announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 105
"An Act relating to road service area consolidation."
CHAIR MYERS stated that SB 105 was requested by the Fairbanks
North Star Borough.
2:12:11 PM
MICHAELLA ANDERSON, Staff, Senator Robert Myers, Alaska State
Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, on behalf of the sponsor,
paraphrased the sponsor statement:
Senate Bill 105 provides second class boroughs with
the ability to consolidate two or more road service
areas (RSAs) if the boards representing those RSAs
request consolidation and no new parcels are added to
the single new service area.
A road service area is a taxing jurisdiction
established at the request of the voters within a
geographical area to provide certain services within
their specific area. Voters establish their
boundaries, the maximum mill levy imposed on real
property for the purpose of road maintenance services,
and a board that determines the level of road
maintenance services and directs contractors to
perform these services. Members of the board are
nominated by the mayor and confirmed by the borough
assembly.
Beginning in 1972, and in the years that followed,
RSAs benefited from state shared revenues (SSR) for
local road construction and improvements. SSR
reductions through the 1990s prompted RSAs to hold
elections to establish tax revenue caps to supplement
the reduced state funding for local roads. Existing
RSAs also resisted annexations of new parcels and
roads to their service areas leading to the formation
of new RSAs. Of the five second class boroughs in the
State of Alaska that have RSAs (Fairbanks, Mat-Su,
Kenai, Kodiak and Ketchikan), the Fairbanks North Star
Borough has, by far, the most RSAs at 103. The next
largest borough by RSAs is the Mat-Su Borough with 16.
2:13:01 PM
MS. ANDERSON said municipalities currently do not receive any
state-shared revenues for road service areas (RSAs). She
explained that SB 105 would address an issue facing the vast
majority of RSAs in the Fairbanks North Star Borough (FNSB) by
adding a new exception to allow timely consolidation of two or
more RSAs without a vote by their residents. Instead, it would
enable the affected RSA boards to agree to the changes as long
as no new parcels were added or removed.
MS. ANDERSON continued to paraphrase the sponsor statement:
While greater efficiencies and lower costs in
maintaining local roads could be achieved through
consolidating some RSAs, borough assemblies do not
have the power to adjust service area boundaries
without voter approval. Separate elections are
required for each of the RSAs subject to
consolidation, and these elections typically fail to
turn-out voters. Consolidation efforts led by RSAs
themselves, as proposed under SB 105, would lead to
greater efficiency and reduced costs through economies
of scale and less contract administration by borough
administrators.
MS. ANDERSON said this bill does not allow FNSB's mayor or
assembly to consolidate RSAs without RSA boards requesting
consolidation.
2:14:27 PM
MICHAEL BREDLIE, Rural Services Manager, Fairbanks North Star
Borough, Fairbanks, Alaska, spoke in favor of SB 105. His
division manages the road service areas (RSAs) throughout the
Fairbanks North Star Borough (FNSB). As a second-class borough,
FNSB receives its road construction and maintenance powers
through service areas. Currently, FNSB's 103 RSAs maintain a
total of 498 road miles.
He provided a brief history of RSAs in the borough. The
borough's first RSA was established in 1965 and a second one was
added in 1969. Between 1973 and 1979, 20 RSAs were established.
All but two of the 67 RSAs were established between 1981 and
1986. In the 1990s, 13 RSAs were established, with the final one
formed in 2002.
This liaison could also provide information and guidance to the
commissioner and the governor on the board's approach and
rationale used to make board recommendations. During the mid-
1970s, the RSAs received $2,500 per mile for maintenance and
operations (M&O). This became the majority, if not the entire
revenue obtained by the service areas. By the 1990s, the M&O was
reduced to $1,400 per mile, declining until 2003 or 2004, when
state revenue sharing ended. At the time, the reduction in state
revenue sharing prompted many RSAs to hold elections to
establish revenue tax caps to supplement and replace their state
revenue-sharing funds. From 1991 to 1997, 74 RSAs instituted
revenue tax caps.
MR. BREDLIE related his understanding that RSA commissions
resisted annexing new parcels and roads to their service areas.
In response, the administration decided to form new service
areas. He said this increase in RSAs appears to correspond with
state shared revenue that FNSB received from 1972 to 2004.
He offered his belief that no other borough in the state has
this issue. Alaska has five second-class boroughs with road
service area powers. FNSB has 103 RSAs, the Mat-Su Borough (MSB)
has 16, Ketchikan Gateway Borough (KGB) has 10, Kodiak Island
Borough (KIB) has four and the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) has
one large RSA split into five regions.
MR. BREDLIE explained that FNBS's RSA consolidation process was
difficult. First, elections are required to consolidate two or
more RSAs if the voters reside within the existing service
areas. Next, the borough must hold open house meetings, the
assembly must approve the election ordinance to authorize the
RSA elections for residents in the service areas. Finally,
holding an election to consolidate each service area is costly,
he said. Currently, FNSB has 13 contractors who perform
maintenance in its 103 RSAs. Some contractors maintain one RSA
and others maintain from 10 to 20 service areas.
2:18:40 PM
MR. BREDLIE explained that consolidating service areas would
provide greater efficiencies and better prices for contractors,
which could result in less contract administration. In terms of
staff, consolidating RSAs could reduce contract administration
costs and increase staff's presence to assess road conditions in
RSAs. Concerning RSA commissions, consolidating RSAs would
reduce the number of seats. He said that 266 of the 426 RSA
commissioner seats are filled, which is a 38-percent vacancy
rate.
2:19:34 PM
CHAIR MYERS asked how much money FNSB would save by
consolidating RSAs.
MR. BREDLIE responded that he was unsure, but FNSB would save
contractor and administrative costs.
2:20:12 PM
SENATOR MICCICHE asked what problems FNSB encountered by adding
RSA consolidations to the ballot for municipal elections.
MR. BREDLIE answered that each RSA election would be held
outside the municipal election because voters are located in
different areas and separate taxing jurisdictions. He stated
that FNSB's Clerk's Office incurs substantial time and costs to
administer elections given the large number of RSAs.
2:21:34 PM
SENATOR SHOWER recalled that a similar bill was previously
introduced. He asked whether FNSB asked its residents whether
they wanted to consolidate RSAs.
MR. BREDLIE answered no. He acknowledged that former Senator
Coghill introduced a bill during the last legislature, but it
did not pass.
SENATOR SHOWER asked whether the purpose of SB 105 was to
provide FNSB with a method to consolidate its RSAs without
obtaining sufficient support from residents.
MR. BREDLIE responded that SB 105 would give the borough an
additional tool to join two or more service areas without an
election when the road commissions agree. He remarked that FNSB
would still reach out to residents; that the process still
requires approval by RSA commissions and the assembly.
2:24:36 PM
SENATOR SHOWER asked who currently appoints the commissioners
and whether this process would give the mayor additional
authority.
MR. BREDLIE responded that the mayor appoints commissioners and
the assembly confirms them.
SENATOR SHOWER said it seems as though this process will give
the mayor additional power.
2:25:28 PM
SENATOR BISHOP asked whether FNSB's Assembly supports SB 105.
MR. BREDLIE responded that the request for SB 105 was initiated
by FNSB's legislative committee, which is comprised of assembly
members, the mayor, and legal representatives. He surmised that
assembly members support SB 105 since the assembly passed a
resolution.
SENATOR BISHOP asked for a copy of the resolution.
MR. BREDLIE agreed to provide it.
2:26:32 PM
SENATOR MICCICHE stated that RSA members are elected in the
Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB). KPB regularly experiences
problems with vacancies. He surmised that people would prefer to
have elected officials make the final decisions although he
agreed that would consolidate some power. He offered to consult
with KPB on whether it supports the concept.
2:27:42 PM
CHAIR MYERS asked if FNSB passed an ordinance earlier this year
for all road commissioner terms to expire in June 2021.
MR. BREDLIE responded that in 2019, an ordinance changed the
commissioner's terms from two to three years to allow for
staggered terms. In the meantime, FNSB will send out
applications to all commissioners and draw to decide which ones
are one, two or three year terms, he said.
CHAIR MYERS offered his view that the mayor would appoint every
commissioner if this bill were to pass. Given that the mayor
would like to consolidate RSAs, the mayor could impose a litmus
test for applicants.
MR. BREDLIE explained that half of the commissions expire each
year. He related that prefilled applications are sent to all
commissioners by April. Once the applications are signed, the
applications are forwarded to the mayor and to the assembly. He
said he did not envision this process changing, but the terms
will be staggered.
2:31:00 PM
JILL DOLAN, Attorney, Fairbanks North Star Borough, Fairbanks,
Alaska, in response to whether SB 105 would ultimately give more
power to the mayor, said any boundary change must be made by
ordinance. Although this bill would require that service area
boards make recommendations and request to consolidate RSAs, the
elected officials will make the ultimate decision.
2:31:51 PM
MS. DOLAN explained that FNSB cannot run elections for service
areas with the regular municipal election because the precinct
boundaries do not align with the service area boundaries. The
borough must determine voter eligibility for each service area.
She explained that consolidated RSAs requires elections be held
in each service areas being combined, which means that ballots
are separately accounted for in each RSA election.
2:32:25 PM
SENATOR SHOWER said the 2020 election included local, state,
federal elections in Alaska. Thus, voters were handed multiple
ballots. He was unsure why the RSA elections could not be given
on the same day as municipal elections.
MS. DOLAN responded that municipal and state election districts
share the same precinct boundaries. She said FNSB's Clerk's
Office runs the elections. Voters must first request their
ballots for service area elections in person. The clerk must
determine in which RSA area the person resides since the ballots
for each service area must be counted separately. The municipal
clerk advised that RSA elections should not be held at
concurrent with municipal elections, she said.
2:34:37 PM
SENATOR MICCICHE asked how many households comprise the largest
service area.
MR. BREDLIE answered that the College RSA maintains about 20
miles of road serving over 1,000 households.
[SB 105 was held in committee.]
2:36:00 PM
There being no further business to come before the committee,
Chair Myers adjourned the Senate Transportation Standing
Committee meeting at 2:36 p.m.
