Thank you for your cooperation in this effort. I look forward to a successful session. With best regards. Sincerely, /s/ Walter J. Hickel Governor" 1994-01-10 House Journal Page 1995 EO 88 EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 88: Transferring the responsibility for establishing an adventure-based education program from the Department of Community and Regional Affairs to the Department of Health and Social Services. was read the first time and referred to the Health, Education & Social Services and Finance Committees. The following fiscal note(s) apply: Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Education, 1/10/94 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Community & Regional Affairs, 1/10/94 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Health & Social Services, 1/10/94 The Governor's transmittal letter, dated January 10, 1994, appears below: "Dear Speaker Barnes: Under the authority of art. III, sec. 23, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting an Executive Order relating to the transfer of responsibility for adventure-based education from the Department of Community and Regional Affairs to the Department of Health and Social Services. Adventure-based education programs have shown considerable success as an effective tool to instill positive values and an increased sense of responsibility and self-worth in some at-risk, troubled, or delinquent juveniles. The transfer of this program to the Department of Health and Social Services will provide an additional treatment option for some of these youth. My Administration is committed to providing a full spectrum of services to children and youth who, for whatever reason, come into contact with law enforcement or social service agencies of the state. My goal is to see that each and every individual is treated appropriately given his or her circumstances. 1994-01-10 House Journal Page 1996 EO 88 To achieve that goal, I have supported implementation of a family centered services model in the division of family and youth services. The adventure-based program represents one small but useful piece in the continuum of services and sanctions we must have in place to meet the challenges the youth of today pose to our juvenile justice system. Sincerely, /s/ Walter J. Hickel Governor" EO 89 EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 89: Moving the enforcement of size, weight, and load standards for vehicles operating on the state highway system, and the authority to issue overweight and oversize permits for vehicles operating on the state highway system, from the Department of Commerce and Economic Development to the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. was read the first time and referred to the Transportation Committee. The following fiscal notes(s) apply: Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Commerce & Economic Development, 1/10/94 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Transportation & Public Facilities, 1/10/94 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Public Safety, 1/10/94 The Governor's transmittal letter, dated January 10, 1994, appears below: 1994-01-10 House Journal Page 1997 EO 89 "Dear Speaker Barnes: Under the authority of art. III, sec. 23, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting an Executive Order relating to the enforcement of size, weight, and load standards for vehicles operating on the state highway system and to the authority to issue overweight or oversize vehicle permits. The Order transfers, from the Department of Commerce and Economic Development (DCED) to the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT/PF), the authority to enforce vehicle size, weight, and load standards and to issue permits that allow the operation of overweight or oversize vehicles on the state highway system. Under existing statutory authority found in AS19.10.060, DOT/PF has the duty to adopt standards governing the size, weight, and load of vehicles operating on the state highway system; this is consistent with its duty to manage, operate, and maintain the state highway system under AS44.42.020. However, DOT/PF is denied the ability to fully perform these statutory duties because it has neither the authority to enforce size, weight, and load standards, nor the authority to issue permits that allow exceptions from those standards. The enforcement of vehicle size, weight, and load standards is presently accomplished, in part, through weighing stations operated by DCED at strategic locations along the state highway system. Operation of these weighing stations would transfer to DOT/PF on the effective date of the Order. In issuing overweight and oversize vehicle permits, DCED consults with and obtains the concurrence of DOT/PF because DCED does not have the expertise necessary to interpret and apply the sometimes technical and complex DOT/PF standards under which the permits must be issued. Transferring overweight and oversize vehicle permitting to DOT/PF would place that function in the agency best equipped to perform the function. The enforcement of vehicle size, weight, and load standards is an integral part of the operation and management of the state highway system. By integrating the management functions for the state highway system as contemplated by the Order, DOT/PF will be able 1994-01-10 House Journal Page 1998 EO 89 to more effectively manage the state highway system. The result is that state highways will be better protected, at no increase in cost, with better service to the traveling public. Sincerely, /s/ Walter J. Hickel Governor" EO 90 EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 90: Moving the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation from the Department of Revenue to the Department of Commerce and Economic Development, and transferring the duties of the science and engineering advisory commission to the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation. was read the first time and referred to the Labor & Commerce Committee. The following fiscal note(s) apply: Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Revenue, 1/10/94 Zero fiscal note, Dept. of Commerce & Economic Development, 1/10/94 The Governor's transmittal letter, dated January 10, 1994, appears below: "Dear Speaker Barnes: Under the authority of art. III, sec. 23, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting an Executive Order relating to the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation (ASTF) and the science and engineering advisory commission. 1994-01-10 House Journal Page 1999 EO 90 The Order transfers the ASTF from the Department of Revenue to the Department of Commerce and Economic Development. The purpose of this transfer is to integrate the state's science and technology activities within the state agency responsible for the comprehensive economic development of the State of Alaska. The Order also eliminates the science and engineering advisory commission (located in the Office of the Governor) and consolidates its functions and duties with those of the ASTF. The ASTF has the knowledge and the resources to serve in an advisory capacity to the governor and the legislature as well as to perform the original functions of the foundation. These two transfers will serve to streamline the state's commitment to the development of resources through the application of science and technology. Given budget constraints, the elimination of somewhat duplicative efforts also will improve the efficiency of government. Sincerely, /s/ Walter J. Hickel Governor" The Speaker recognized Senators Zharoff and Kelly who advised that the Senate is in session and ready to do business.
