HB 42-JOE WILLIAMS, SR., COASTAL TRAIL
1:41:10 PM
CHAIR CHARLIE HUGGINS announced HB 42 to be up for
consideration.
SENATOR FRENCH moved Version \A as the working document. There
being no objections the motion carried.
1:41:32 PM
MR. JOS GOVARS, staff to Representative Jim Elkins, presented HB
42. Joe Williams Sr. was the mayor of Saxman for many years and
a well-respected citizen. Mr. Govars noted the many letters of
support in the packet of proposed legislation.
1:43:05 PM
CHAIR HUGGINS asked Mr. Govars if there was any opposition to HB
42.
MR. GOVARS replied no one has contacted Representative Elkins'
office with opposition. He has heard some negative talk around
Ketchikan referencing Mr. Williams in a personal nature.
CHAIR HUGGINS commented HB 42 was not new construction; it was
naming an existing trail.
MR. GOVARS agreed. The trail has been in place more than 8
years.
SENATOR JOHN COWDERY commented that opposition is frequently
personal.
MR. GOVARS replied naming something could always be problematic.
SENATOR COWDERY asked Mr. Govars if negative talk was
representative of the community of Ketchikan.
MR. GOVARS answered no.
CHAIR HUGGINS asked for an explanation of the fiscal note.
MR. GOVARS explained in the House Community and Regional Affairs
Standing Committee, the fiscal note from the Department of
Transportation and Public Facilities (DOTPF) regarded placing
the sign. The DOTPF estimated a cost of around $2,000, which
they later decided to fund. There was a fiscal note adopted in
the House Transportation Standing Committee, which the DOTPF
would fund.
1:46:32 PM
CHAIR HUGGINS asked for testimony and heard none.
SENATOR COWDERY moved HB 42 out of committee with individual
recommendations and attached fiscal notes. There being no
objection, the motion carried.
