ACTION NARRATIVE 3:24:06 PM CHAIR KURT OLSON called the House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee meeting to order at 3:24 p.m. Representatives Holmes, Thompson, Saddler and Olson were present at the call to order. Representatives Miller and Johnson arrived as the meeting was in progress. 3:24:19 PM ^Confirmation Hearings Confirmation Hearings Alaska State Board of Public Accountancy Alcoholic Beverage Control Board State Board of Registration for Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors State Assessment Review Board Board of Barbers and Hairdressers Board of Chiropractic Examiners Alaska Labor Relations Agency Board of Marine Pilots Board of Marital and Family Therapy Board of Certified Direct-Entry Midwives Board of Nursing Occupational Safety and Health Review Board Board of Examiners in Optometry Board of Pharmacy State Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Board Board of Professional Counselors Board of Psychologist and Psychological Associate Examiners Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers Real Estate Commission Board of Social Work Examiners Board of Veterinary Examiners Workers' Compensation Appeals Commission Alaska Workers' Compensation Board 3:24:28 PM CHAIR OLSON announced that the first order of business would be confirmation hearings of the various boards and commissions. 3:25:05 PM KONRAD JACKSON, Staff, Representative Kurt Olson, Alaska State Legislature, stated members received a copy of the memo from the Chief Clerk's office listing the appointees to the various boards and commissions. The memo also lists the appointment dates and terms that they have served. He stated that all the members have taken an opportunity to review resumes and so far have not expressed any concerns with the qualifications of any of the appointees. He offered to read the names of the boards or commissions and the appointees. He said he will then pass around the memo for members' signatures, and as members know a signature on that memo does not signify any member's vote for or against an appointee, but is to advance the names to a joint session. He then read, as follows: Alaska State Board of Public Accountancy Karen Brewer-Tarver Wayne Don Alcoholic Beverage Control Board Ethan Billings Ellen Ganley State Board of Registration for Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors David Hale Colin Maynard Richard Rearick Kathleen Schedler State Assessment Review Board James Mosley Board of Barbers and Hairdressers Darae Crews Brittany Hutchison Kevin McKinley Deanna Pruhs Board of Chiropractic Examiners Dr. James Heston Renee Robinson Alaska Labor Relations Agency Tyler Andrews Matthew McSorley Board of Marine Pilots Robert Richmond Board of Marital and Family Therapy The Very Rev. John Downing Board of Certified Direct-Entry Midwives Cheryl Corrick Board of Nursing Rochelle Lehrer Denise Valentine Occupational Safety and Health Review Board James Montgomery, Jr. Timothy Sharp Board of Examiners in Optometry Dr. Forrest Messerschmidt Board of Pharmacy John Cotter Lori DeVito Christopher Kim Theodore Mala, Jr. State Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Board David Carey Kathleen Lind James Parietti Board of Professional Counselors Lillian Mitchell Board of Psychologist and Psychological Associate Examiners Al Levy Christian Muntean Joel Wieman Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers Lance Cook Real Estate Commission Anita Bates Stacy Risner Board of Social Work Examiners Marilyn Kerr Board of Veterinary Examiners Dr. Nelson Priddy II Dr. Tamara Rose Workers' Compensation Appeals Commission Stephen Hagedorn James Rhodes Alaska Workers' Compensation Board Charles Collins, Jr. Linda Hutchings Amy Steele Richard Traini, Jr. Patricia Vollendorf 3:29:45 PM REPRESENTATIVE THOMPSON asked whether Mr. Jackson had read the nominees to the Board of Professional Counselors. CHAIR OLSON stated Mr. Jackson had done so. 3:30:12 PM CHAIR OLSON, after first determining no one else wished to testify, closed public testimony on the confirmation hearings. 3:30:41 PM REPRESENTATIVE HOLMES commented that she appreciated having time to review the list. She said she discussed the names with her caucus and no one had any concerns at this point. She stated in terms of due diligence that everyone seems to be perfectly acceptable. She thanked everyone who put their names forward. She said she understands it takes time for people to serve on the boards and commissions. She restated her thanks for people agreeing to serve. CHAIR OLSON shared Representative Holmes sentiments. He also related his understanding of what it takes to serve given the scrutiny people currently receive. He expressed his gratitude that people are willing to serve. 3:31:33 PM REPRESENTATIVE SADDLER commented he previously served as staff to the Governor's Boards and Commissions. He said the names of those being reappointed were familiar. He expressed concern that some people served through their term limits, went off a board or commission for a term, and then were appointed again. He suggested new people should have a turn. REPRESENTATIVE THOMPSON agreed. He also noticed some board members who have served two terms. He pointed out some people are appointed late in the term and actually serve little more than one term. In those instances the board or commission does not receive the benefit of the board member's expertise for two full terms. CHAIR OLSON also agreed. He noted that this has also happened and has affected residents from the Kenai Peninsula Borough. 3:34:05 PM REPRESENTATIVE JOHNSON moved the confirmation of appointees referred to the House Labor & Commerce Standing Committee for consideration to the joint session of the House and Senate for consideration. He would also like to note that a member's signature on the report in no way reflects the member's vote during the joint session. There being no objection, the confirmations were advanced. 3:34:41 PM The committee took an at-ease from 3:34 p.m. to 3:36 p.m. HB 269-COMMON INTEREST COMMUNITIES 3:36:37 PM CHAIR OLSON announced that the final order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 269. "An Act relating to the amendment of a declaration that creates a common interest community." 3:36:44 PM JAMES WALDO, Staff, Representative Lindsey Holmes, Alaska State Legislature, explained that HB 269 would amend the Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act (UCIOA) to allow 80 percent of the homeowners to vote to extend timeframes on condominium projects. He characterized the bill as one that tweaks the UCIOA. 3:37:28 PM CHAIR OLSON, after first determining no one else wished to testify, closed public testimony on HB 269. 3:37:53 PM REPRESENTATIVE JOHNSON moved to report HB 269 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, HB 269 was reported from the House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee. 3:38:15 PM ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the committee, the House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 3:38 p.m.
