HB 500 HOUSE BILL NO. 500 by the House Rules Committee by request of the Governor, entitled: An Act making capital and other appropriations; and providing for an effective date. was read the first time and referred to the Finance Committee. The Governor's transmittal letter, dated February 12, 1996, appears below: Dear Speaker Phillips: I am pleased to transmit to you my proposed FY97 capital budget, a bare bones package of projects to meet basic needs of Alaskans. The state general fund level of $110 million for this budget is very limited in light of the massive capital needs throughout the state. But I believe it is responsible, given our efforts to close the states budget gap. In addition to limited state general funds, this budget maximizes the receipt of over $364 million of federal dollars. Over $280 million in federal highway and aviation funds alone are expected this coming fiscal year. Authorizations for new individual federal aid transportation projects will be submitted after the final State Transportation Improvement Plan is adopted late this month. Other state resources such as Alaska Housing Finance Corporation and the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority have been used to put forward additional capital dollars for housing and economic development projects. Although the appropriations bill lists projects in departmental order, I have attached a summary of the projects broken into the major categories that reflect my capital budget priorities: 1996-02-12 House Journal Page 2725 HB 500 Education Justice Development Transportation University Public Support Technology Health and Safety Capital Matching Grants to Communities I have also provided some preliminary information from the six-year capital plan that we are developing for presentation to the legislature and the public later this winter. I cannot overemphasize the importance of a multi-year capital plan for Alaska. It is an essential budget discipline tool that will improve predictability and stability in the budget process. In the past, we have had capital budgets swing from $147 million to $616 million and back down again in the space of five years. In-state construction companies and labor forces can not effectively meet such widely fluctuating budgets. Communities can not know whether to seriously consider local bonds or private sector financing instead of holding out for the possibility of free state money. You will see from the summary of total capital needs that we will hardly make a dent this year in the list of school construction and major maintenance projects, in rural sanitation or in deferred maintenance for state facilities. To address these larger needs, we are analyzing the viability of financing alternatives such as revolving loan programs and bonding. I am proposing one new financing arrangement for this years capital budget: revenue bonds for approximately $6 million in needed technology improvements such as the integrated criminal justice data network. Many of these improvements will help reduce operating costs in future years. Detailed information about the proposed capital projects will be provided by the Office of Management and Budget. I look forward to working with you on a responsible capital budget that addresses basic needs throughout Alaska. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor 1996-02-12 House Journal Page 2726 HB 501 HOUSE BILL NO. 501 by Representatives Therriault, Martin, Mulder, Toohey and Vezey, entitled: An Act requiring competition in local exchange telephone service. was read the first time and referred to the State Affairs, Labor & Commerce and Judiciary Committees.
