Representatives Claman, Guttenberg, and Senators  Kelly and Micciche joined the meeting after roll call.  Representatives Millett and Drummond (alternate) were  absent.    II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA    VICE CHAIR STEDMAN moved that Legislative Council approve  the agenda.    The motion was approved without objection.    III. CONTRACT APPROVALS  a. Wasilla LIO  b. Amendment to Haight & Associates - Capitol Security  Camera System    a. Wasilla LIO    TINA STRONG, Procurement Officer for the Legislative  Affairs Agency, stated that the current lease agreement  between the Legislative Affairs Agency and Wasilla Station,  LLC, for office space currently occupied by the MatSu LIO  and Legislators' district offices in Wasilla, is due to  expire July 31, 2017, with no renewal options available.  Under AS 36.30.083, there is a provision where we may  extend a real property lease for up to 10 years if a  minimum cost savings of at least 10 percent below the  market rental value of the real property at the time of the  extension would be achieved on the rent due under the  lease. The market rental value must be established by a  real estate broker's opinion of the rental value or by an  appraisal of the rental value.    She said the Agency contracted with Bond Filipenko  Commercial Properties, LLC to determine the market rental  value of the property; we received their fair market rental  analysis and it is their opinion that the market rental  value of the property with a full service lease is between  $2.40 and $2.50 per square foot. Per AS 36.30.083, the  Agency offered Wasilla Station, LLC a rate of $2.16 per  square foot for a five-year lease extension with five one- year renewal options at our option. Wasilla Station, LLC,  accepted the offer. She recommended Legislative Council  approve the lease extension for the MatSu office space  located at 600 E Railroad Avenue for a price of $2.16 per  square foot.    DISCUSSION FOLLOWED, in response to Senator Mackinnon who  noted that the list of occupants included a former  Legislator no longer in office. The list was updated to  remove Representative Gattis and add Representatives  Talerico and Johnson. Representative Eastman stated that  the space was functional, he had received no complaints and  saw no reason to change office space at this time.    9:05:07 AM  VICE CHAIR STEDMAN moved that Legislative Council approve  Lease Extension with Wasilla Station, LLC for the time  period August 1, 2017 through July 31, 2022 in the amount  of $179,574.84 per year (excluding CPI-U adjustments each  July 1).    The motion passed without objection.    b. Amendment to Haight & Associates - Capitol Security  Camera System    MS. STRONG addressed this item as well. She said at the  June 26, 2015, Legislative Council meeting, Representative  Bob Herron as Chair of the Security Subcommittee of  Legislative Council received approval to contract with  Haight & Associates to design and prepare contract bidding  documents for the Capitol Security Camera System and to  provide construction administration in the amount of  $54,280. Haight & Associates is seeking approval for an  additional $5,015 to continue construction administration  through August 31, 2017. The construction administration  includes the camera configurations and system programming  during installation. They are working closely with our  camera system contractor Alcan Electrical & Engineering,  Inc.    She noted that attached to the memo each member had in  their packet was Haight & Associates price summary for this  request. There are existing Security Camera Capitol funds  available for this amendment to the Haight & Associates  contract.    In response to a question by the Chair, Ms. Strong  confirmed that the security camera contract was to install  cameras in all the Capitol Complex buildings, although none  are yet installed. Alcan has been working on wiring and  waiting until adjournment before they begin installation  work. Haight & Associates was contracted to oversee the  project and respond to Alcan questions as they arise. In  response to a follow-up question by the Chair, Ms. Strong  confirmed that Haight & Associates were spending more time  than anticipated responding to Alcan Electrical's questions  and management of the project; they believed the additional  funds requested today would carry them through the end of  their part of this project. In response to a question by  Representative Stutes, Ms. Strong confirmed that the  project was scheduled for completion by August 31, 2017,  and neither contractor anticipated needing additional funds  prior to completion.    9:08:53 AM  VICE CHAIR STEDMAN moved that Legislative Council approve  an amendment to the Haight & Associates Contract in the  amount of $5,100.    The motion passed without objection.    There being no further business before the committee,  Legislative Council adjourned at 9:10 a.m.    9:09:21 AM
