SB 19-BOUNDARIES OF ROAD SERVICE AREAS  3:31:46 PM CHAIR BISHOP announced the consideration of SB 19 and noted that version W was adopted last week. RENNIEVA MOSS, Staff, Senator John Coghill, advised that the difference of opinion she mentioned during the last hearing about the meaning of AS 29.35.450(c)(3) is clarified in proposed Amendment 1. SENATOR STEDMAN moved Amendment 1, labeled 29-LS0326\W.1. 29-LS0326\W.1 Shuts 3/10/15 AMENDMENT 1 OFFERED IN THE SENATE TO: CSSB 19 ( ), Draft Version "W" Page 3, line 8, following "area": Insert "; (6) to a change in the boundaries of a road service  area to include a parcel that is partially located in the  road service area if roads maintained by the service area  provide the only access to the parcel"  CHAIR BISHOP objected for discussion purposes. MS. MOSS explained that the bill now does two things. First, if a parcel is in two separate service areas, the borough assembly can vote to place both sections of the parcel in one service area. Second, if a parcel is in a road service area and the homeowner has to use the roads in the service area to access that parcel, the borough assembly can put the entire parcel into the service area. She noted that the owner of a $20,000 parcel with a 1.89 millage rate would pay an additional $38 in taxes. 3:34:19 PM SENATOR HOFFMAN joined the committee CHAIR BISHOP removed his objection and found no further objection so Amendment 1 was adopted. He opened public testimony. 3:35:11 PM MICHAEL BREDLIE, Rural Services Manager, Fairbanks North Star Borough, testified in support of SB 19. He explained that the borough has 105 road service areas with dozens of parcels that are either partially in a road service area or in two separate road service areas. Efforts to place a parcel in one road service area under the existing statute have been unsuccessful because no one from the service area turned out for the election. This legislation will allow the borough to change the boundaries without borough approval. SENATOR STEDMAN moved to report CSSB 19, [29-LS0326\W] as amended, from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). CHAIR BISHOP announced that without objection CSSB 19(CRA) was reported from the Senate Community and Regional Affairs Standing Committee.
