SENATE BILL NO. 169
"An Act relating to missions and measures to be
applied to certain expenditures by the executive
branch of state government and the University of
Alaska from the state operating budget for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2000; and providing for an
effective date."
Senator Parnell explained SB 169. He said there were
several amendments to be submitted by himself and other
members.
Senator Parnell MOVED amendment #1. He offered a brief
explanation. WITHOUT OBJECTION it was ADOPTED.
Senator Parnell MOVED amendment #2 on behalf of Senator
Leman. He offered a brief explanation. Senator Adams
queried the intent. He said the language in amendment #2
would jeopardize the bill.
(The arrival of Senator Leman was noted.)
Senator Parnell asked Senator Leman to explain his intent
to having this amendment included in the bill.
The committee took a brief at ease.
Co-chair Torgerson reconvened the committee.
Senator Parnell WITHDREW amendment #2. WITHOUT OBJECTION
it was WITHDRAWN.
Senator Parnell MOVED amendment #3. He offered a brief
explanation. He MOVED an amendment to amendment #3, page
1, line 18, to delete "achieving the mission of the mining
sector". Senator Adams asked about how the amendment would
read with this deletion regarding page 2, line 21. Senator
Parnell explained this. Co-chair Torgerson said he felt
something should be deleted. (There followed a brief
discussion between Co-chair Torgerson and Senator Parnell.)
BRUCE CAMPBELL, staff to Senator Phillips was invited to
join the committee. He made a spelling correction page 1,
line 18 and said "sector" should read "section". Senator
Parnell moved to WITHDRAW amendment to amendment #3.
WITHOUT OBJECTION it was WITHDRAWN. Senator PARNELL then
moved amendment to amendment #3, page 1, line 18, delete
"sector" and insert "section". WITHOUT OBJECTION the
amendment to amendment #3 was ADOPTED. Further, WITHOUT
OBJECTION amended amendment #3 was ADOPTED.
Senator Parnell WITHDREW amendment #4.
Senator Parnell MOVED amendment #5, page 10, line 7 of the
bill. Delete "more than 180 days;" and insert ";".
WITOUTH OBJECTION it was ADOPTED.
Senator Parnell MOVED amendment #6, page 2, line 9. He
explained all "DOA" reference from here and anywhere in the
bill be conformed to read "ADMIN". WITHOUT OBJECTION it
was ADOPTED.
JACK KREINHEDER, Senior Policy Analyst, Office of
Management and Budget was invited to join the committee.
He said they supported the bill. He noted, however, some
specific concerns by agencies.
Mr. Kreinheder asked about amendment #4, which had been
withdrawn. There was concern on page 27, regarding CSED.
Senator Parnell said he chose not to move this amendment
because it was included in SB 49.
Senator Leman had brief comments. Senator Parnell
responded. He said this would get as close as to how well
CSED was serving the public. Mr. Kreinheder said they
would be happy to work with Senators Parnell and Leman
regarding this matter.
Senator Parnell MOVED amendment #7, page 27, line 29 insert
"and"; delete line 30 and renumber. Senator Leman noted
that he got many complaints in his office to Court orders.
Mr. Kreinheder said this should be referred to CSED. His
impression was that the overall mechanism of error tracking
is problematic within itself. Their preference would be at
this time to delete this wording. Senator Leman said he
would not object at this time, but that it was an area that
needed to be worked on.
WITHOUT OBJECTION amendment #7 was ADOPTED.
Mr. KREINHEDER noted concern with page 28, lines 14, the
average time between notices of violation of Title 4. The
concern was with the workload. Senator Parnell also shared
the same concern. It was his understanding this was a roll
forward with language from SB 49. He would have no problem
with the deletion of this material as it was not an
effective measure as currently drafted. Senator Leman said
he had no comment.
Senator Parnell MOVED amendment #8, page 28, to delete line
14 and renumber accordingly. WITHOUT OBJECTION it was
ADOPTED.
In response to a question by Senator Adams, Mr. Kreinheder
said he felt in most cases the performance measures do not
set out specific targets but rather a measure. Therefore
tracking a particular measure would be difficult.
Senator PARNELL moved CSSB 169 (FIN). Senator Adams
OBJECTED. By a roll call vote of 6 yeas (Torgerson,
Parnell, Leman, Wilken, Green, Phillips) and 1 nay (Adams)
(Donley, P.Kelly absent) it was REPORTED OUT with
individual recommendations and accompanying fiscal notes
for all state agencies in the amount of zero.
The committee took a brief at ease.
Co-chair Torgerson reconvened the committee at
approximately 10:05 A.M. He called SB 157.
