             CSHB 466(FIN) am ADAK REUSE AUTHORITY                            
                                                                              
  CHAIRMAN TORGERSON  called the Senate Community & Regional Affairs           
 Committee meeting to order at 2:05 p.m.  He then brought CSHB
(FIN) am before the committee as the first order of business and           
 outlined changes made in a draft CRA SCS.  The first change is to             
 page 1, lines 8 and 12, which changes the lead agency from the                
 Department of Community & Regional Affairs to the Department of               
 Commerce & Economic Development.  The second change is to page 2,             
 lines 20 through 22, which deletes the language "In case of a tie             
 vote on a motion or resolution pending before the authority, the              
 motion or resolution shall be presented to the governor and, if               
 approved by the governor, is considered adopted by the authority."            
 It is replaced with the language "Action may be taken and motions             
 and resolutions may be adopted by the authority only upon an                  
 affirmative vote of a majority of the full membership of the                  
 authority."  The third change is to page 3, line 2, where                     
 subsection (c) was rewritten to state all employees are employees             
 of the authority or contract employees and that the contract does             
 not exceed two years.                                                         
                                                                               
 SENATOR KELLY commented that the new language in subsection (c) is            
 a recognition that this is a transitional authority.  He                      
 acknowledged to Senator Zharoff that, if necessary, a contract                
 could be renewed after the two years.                                         
                                                                               
 Number 058                                                                    
                                                                               
 REPRESENTATIVE CARL MOSES, prime sponsor of HB 466, stated his                
 agreement with the proposed changes.                                          
                                                                               
 Number 102                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR KELLY moved the adoption of SCS CSHB 466(CRA).  Hearing no            
 objection, the Chairman stated the motion carried.                            
                                                                               
 Number 120                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR KELLY moved SCS CSHB 466(CRA) be passed out of committee              
 with individual recommendations.  Hearing no objection, it was so             
 ordered.
