SENATOR RANDY PHILLIPS introduced SB 164 (MUNICIPAL INCORP/RECLASSIFICATION/DISSOLUTION) as the first order of business. Number 015 DARROLL HARGRAVES, Chairman of the Alaska Local Boundary Commission testified from Ketchikan on the teleconference network. He said the legislation addresses a series of changes to Title 29 as suggested in the LBC's report to the legislature. Number 070 DAN BOCKHORST, Department of Community & Regional Affairs, serving as staff to the LBC testified via teleconference from Anchorage. He said the department has reviewed SB 164 and finds that it does address many of the issues which the Local Boundary Commission raised in its 1992 report to the legislature. Mr. Bockhorst said a number of other issues have arisen since the report was made and he would be forwarding a letter to the committee outlining suggested changes to the legislation. Included is adding provisions which discuss and permit merger and consolidation of home rule governments. Also, they recommend some minor housekeeping amendments to the statute which they think are appropriate or necessary in the course of their work on this matter. Mr. Bockhorst said as SB 164 presently exists and with the changes that the department is proposing, there is zero impact as far as the department is concerned. Number 225 FRANCES HALLGREN, a member of the Alaska Local Boundary Commission, noted she was present in Sitka listening to testimony on SB 164. SENATOR RANDY PHILLIPS said SB 164 would be held in committee pending receipt of more information from Mr. Bockhorst on further suggested changes to the legislation.
