SB 48-PERS CONTRIBUTIONS BY MUNICIPALITIES
5:54:46 PM
CHAIR DYSON announced that the next order of business would be
SB 48. He reported that he has had extensive conversations with
Mr. Barnhill and agrees with his analysis of the bill. He stated
that the proposed committee substitute (CS) mirrors the language
of the House bill.
SENATOR COGHILL moved to adopt the work draft CS for SB 48,
version 28-LS0444\U, as the working document. There being no
objection, version U was before the committee.
5:56:11 PM
DAVID SCOTT, Staff, Senator Donny Olson, sponsor, provided
information on SB 48. He explained that the 2008 PERS
contribution floor does not apply to those communities who have
lost 25 percent of their population.
SENATOR DYSON asked if that mirrors the language in the
companion House bill.
MR. SCOTT said that is his understanding.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI asked how many municipalities this applies
to.
MR. SCOTT said it applies to three. There are more than three
communities that have lost 25 percent of their population, but
they do not have any PERS employees.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI asked if SB 48 has the impact of waiving
fees and expenses.
MR. SCOTT said no. He said it was his understanding that the
municipalities still must pay their bill to the PERS system.
5:57:44 PM
MIKE BARNHILL, Deputy Commissioner, Department of
Administration, answered questions related to SB 48. He
explained that there is a retroactive date in the bill and a
reduction in the rate of interest to the federal reserve rate,
plus 3 percent.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI inquired which three communities are
affected by the bill.
MR. BARNHILL said Galena, Pelican, and Atka.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI asked how much they owe.
MR. SCOTT answered that Galena owes about $500,000, and he
didn't know about the other two.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI asked how much debt was rolled back.
MR. BARNHILL said he hadn't run the numbers, but it might get
rid of it entirely.
SENATOR COGHILL said it sounds like these communities are under
duress.
5:59:27 PM
GREG MOYER, Galena City Manager, testified in support of SB 48.
SENATOR DYSON inquired how much it would save Galena.
MR. MOYER answered said if it is retroactive it may take it out
completely.
SENATOR DYSON asked for a report, after the first of the year,
on how it worked out.
6:01:05 PM
SENATOR COGHILL moved to report SB 48, version U, from committee
with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note. There
being no objection, CSSB 48(STA) was reported from the Senate
State Affairs Standing Committee.
