Dear God, we come before You this morning                                     
calling upon Your presence before this body.  Give                             
our senators clear minds, energetic spirits, good                              
imaginations, the use of the intelligence You've                               
created within them, and an eagerness to represent                             
to the best of their abilities the people of this state.                       
                                                                               
Forgive us when our egos get in the way, when self                            
interests overpower the good of the whole, and                                 
when our walk is not representative of our talk.                               
                                                                               
Give us, O God, the ability to admit when we are                              
wrong and the courage to bring correction to our                               
ways that move contrary to Your will.                                          
                                                                               
When this day is complete help each of us to look                             
back upon it and give thanks for having done the                               
best that we could do.

Dear Mr. President:                                                            
                                                                               
In accordance with art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am         
transmitting a bill establishing capital project matching grant                
programs for municipalities and unincorporated communities, and                
establishing local share requirements for other capital project grants         
to municipalities, named recipients, and unincorporated communities.           
                                                                               
The capital project matching grant programs and the local share                
requirements for other capital project grants have two main                    
objectives.  One objective is to encourage a sense of local ownership          
in capital projects by requiring municipalities, unincorporated                
communities, and named grant recipients to participate financially in          
them.  This local participation will help grantees to determine their          
highest priorities and help ensure that only the most important and            
cost-effective projects are undertaken.  The second objective is to            
leverage the use of state money in the financing of capital projects,          
which will be a particularly important policy to adopt given the               
expected decline of state revenue in the future.  In addition, the new         
capital project matching grant programs for municipalities and                 
unincorporated communities provide an orderly and thoughtful                   
planning and review process that involves local communities, the               
executive branch, and the legislature.                                         
                                                                               
There is a distinction between the new capital project matching grant          
programs and the new local share requirements for other capital                
project grants.  It is intended that the new matching grant programs           
be used for relatively small capital projects proposed by                      
municipalities and unincorporated communities, and that the new                
local match requirements for municipalities, named recipients, and             
unincorporated communities apply to other types of larger capital              
projects funded through grants made under AS 37.05.315 -                       
37.05.317.                                                                     
                                                                               
The focus of this bill is the proposed new capital project matching            
grant programs in AS37.06.  Much like a block grant program,                   
these programs would establish two funds (one with individual                  
accounts for all municipalities and one with individual accounts for           
all unincorporated communities participating in the state's revenue-

SB 88                                                                        
sharing program) from which small-scale capital projects can be                
funded by project-specific appropriations.  (I am also transmitting a          
companion bill making appropriations to the two funds, as the first            
step in this funding process.)  The projects would be selected and             
prioritized at the local level, well before each year's legislative            
session, and a prioritized project list would be submitted to the              
governor for inclusion in the capital improvements program.  The               
governor would provide the legislature with reasons for any                    
differences between the local list and the capital improvements                
program submitted to the legislature.  In each case, the projects              
funded by the appropriations would be subject to local financial               
match requirements, including allowances for in-kind matching                  
contributions.  In addition, under the bill the same local match               
requirements and in-kind allowances would be extended to all grants            
currently made to municipalities, named recipients, and                        
unincorporated communities under AS37.05.315-37.05.317.                        
                                                                               
My Office of Management and Budget has prepared a section-by-                  
section description of the bill which is available for your review.            
                                                                               
The net effect of the bill is that all capital project grants to               
municipalities, named recipients, and unincorporated communities               
would be subject to local financial match requirements, regardless of          
whether they are funded through the capital project matching grant             
programs established by this bill or under the existing provisions of          
AS37.05.315 - 37.05.317 as amended by this bill.                               
                                                                               
This bill is important because it expands the role of local                    
communities in determining the capital improvements and capital                
projects that will best suit their local needs.  It is also important          
because of the precedent it sets in requiring a local stake in capital         
projects and because it allows limited state financial resources to            
support a greater number of needed capital projects than otherwise             
would be possible.  For all of these reasons, I seek and encourage             
your support for this bill.                                                    
                                                                               
      Sincerely,

Governor's transmittal letter dated February 3:                                
                                                                               
Dear Mr. President:                                                            
                                                                               
Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution,          
I am transmitting a bill making appropriations totaling $67,000,000            
for capital project matching grant programs in the Department of               
Administration and the Department of Community and Regional                    
Affairs.                                                                       
                                                                               
Today I am also transmitting a companion bill that establishes those           
programs in statute, to provide funding for essential capital projects         
in municipalities and unincorporated communities and to establish              
local share requirements for these projects.                                   
                                                                               
As provided in the companion bill establishing the two capital                 
project matching grant programs, the appropriations to the two funds           
will be allocated under two formulas to individual grant accounts for          
municipalities and unincorporated communities.  My office of                   
management and budget will provide information that shows the                  
allocation amounts that would result from these appropriations under           
those formulas.  Subsequent project-specific appropriations will be            
necessary for municipalities and unincorporated communities to draw            
project grant money from their individual grant accounts.  The                 
appropriations requested in the attached bill assume that                      
municipalities and unincorporated communities will contribute a local          
share toward each capital project, which will maximize limited state           
money for those projects.                                                      
                                                                               
These appropriations will help improve Alaska's health centers,                
senior centers, women's shelters, youth centers, and other structures

SB 89                                                                        
essential to providing quality social and health programs in local             
areas of our state.  Also, these appropriations may improve our                
energy systems, provide weatherization to save energy in funded                
projects, and make other improvements for more efficient program               
administration in funded projects.  Finally, these appropriations will         
be available to provide essential infrastructure to encourage economic         
development, especially in the rural areas of our state.  Alaska must          
have up-to-date capital structure and technology in order to                   
successfully compete in today's rapidly changing markets.                      
                                                                               
I seek and encourage your support for this bill.
