CHAIR SAM KITO called the Legislative Council meeting to  order at 9:50 a.m. in Room 519 (House Finance) of the State  Capitol. Present at the call were Representatives  Guttenberg, Stutes, and Kito; Senators Giessel, Kelly,  MacKinnon, Micciche, and Stedman. Present on teleconference  were Representatives Claman, Edgmon, Ortiz; Senator  Coghill. Representatives Millet, Drummond (alternate);  Senators Hoffman and Costello (alternate) were absent.  Representative Eastman (alternate) joined during the  executive session.    II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA    CHAIR KITO said that added to the revised agenda was a  small change to the Records Policy that had previously been  discussed by this Council. Once that item was complete,  Council would go into executive session to conduct  interviews for the Legislative Affairs Agency executive  director position and then would adjourn. He asked for a  motion to approve the agenda.    9:52:50 AM  VICE CHAIR STEDMAN moved that Legislative Council approve  the agenda as presented.    The motion passed without objection.    III. OTHER COMMITTEE BUSINESS  a. Records Policy    CHAIR KITO said that at the last meeting, Council had  temporarily authorized the Human Resources Manager to view  video footage in accordance with the Records Policy. The  Human Resources Manager was not explicitly identified, and  the committee agreed that, at least until the next meeting,  the Human Resources Manager would be allowed to have access  while conducting an investigation. The proposal before  Members today is a slight re-wording of that portion of the  policy, which states that the Human Resources Manager has  the authority, in the conduct of a personnel investigation  to view video footage. This would be a permanent part of  the Records Policy, so that it would not come before  Council again.    9:54:17 AM  VICE CHAIR STEDMAN moved that Legislative Council add the  following language to the Records Policy (Section IV.  Security Camera Policy, 2. Confidentiality of Materials.):  and, (4) use by the Human Resources Manager employed by  the Legislative Affairs Agency in the course of a personnel  investigation.    SENATOR MACKINNON said that Council was in the course of  looking at policies and there was a proposal to have a  third-party investigator in the course of that  conversation. She said she had not objections to adopting  this change as it goes forward, but should that policy be  adopted by Legislative Council, this particular line may be  amended to include a third-party investigator.    CHAIR KITO said that Legislative Council will be looking at  that issue when the rest of the Records Policy is brought  before the committee and will make sure that whoever needs  access will have access appropriately.    The motion passed without objection.    IV. EXECUTIVE SESSION  a. Executive Director Applicant Interviews    9:56:01 AM  VICE CHAIR STEDMAN moved that Legislative Council go into  executive session under Uniform Rule 22(b)(2) and (3) for a  personnel matter to conduct interviews for the executive  director position. Crystal Koeneman, David Scott, and any  Legislators not on Council are welcome to stay in the room.    The motion passed without objection.    Legislative Council went into executive session.    12:52:57 PM  Council came out of executive session.    NOTE: the audio cut out during the Chair's calling Council back to order.   VICE CHAIR STEDMAN moved that Council move forward with the  number one selection for the Legislative Affairs Agency  director. Chair Kito clarified that Council is voting to  direct the Human Resources Manager to make an offer to the  number one selected candidate.    A roll call vote was taken.    YEAS: Claman, Edgmon, Guttenberg, Ortiz, Stutes, Eastman  (minority alternate), Coghill, Giessel, Kelly,  MacKinnon, Micciche, Stedman, Kito    NAYS: None    The motion passed 13-0.    CHAIR KITO said they would be coming back with a formal  announcement at the next Legislative Council meeting,  currently scheduled for Monday, February 5, 2018.    Chair Kito noted for the record that Representative Seaton  and Senator Egan both were present for the executive  session.    Chair Kito went on to say that Council appreciated everyone  who applied for the position and everyone that interviewed.  He thanked everyone for their participation and for taking  time on a Saturday to attend the meeting.    There being no further business before the committee,  Legislative Council adjourned at 12:55 p.m.    12:55:54 PM
