"An Act making and amending appropriations and
reappropriations; making appropriations under art. IX,
sec. 17©, Constitution of the State of Alaska, from the
constitutional budget reserve fund; and providing for
an effective date."
Co-Chair Therriault provided members with work draft, 1-
GS2043\N, Utermohle, 4/26/00 (copy on file). He explained
that the proposed committee substitute was amended to
correct duplications and incorrect reappropriation language.
Section 19, page 68 was deleted. This was a duplication of
updated language under the Governor's Office in section 45,
page 78 and the Legislature in section 47, page 78.
Reappropriation language in section 58 (page 85) was
corrected to state:
Sec. 58. ELECTION DISTRICT 24. (a) Section 38(a), ch 2,
FSSLA 1999 is amended to read:
(a) The sum of the unexpended and unobligated balance
of the appropriation made in sec. 62(a)(3), ch 139, SLA
1998 (Boys & Girls Club for Muldoon Clubhouse -
$39,531) is reappropriated to the Department of
Community and Economic Development [REGIONAL AFFAIRS]
for payment as a grant under AS 37.05.315 [AS
37.05.316] to the Municipality of Anchorage for South
Fork Fire Department [FOR] equipment and land
acquisition
(b) The unexpended and unobligated balance of that
portion of the appropriation made by sec. 62(a), ch.
139, SLA 1998, that was awarded as a grant to the
Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center (50,000) is
reappropriated
(1)One-half to the Department of Community and
Economic Development as a grant under AS
37.05.315 to the Municipality of Anchorage as a
grant under AS 37.05.316 for the Northeast
Community Council to develop an area park

Services for payment as a grant under AS
37.05.316 to the Anchorage Boys and Girls Club,
Eagle River facility for tenant improvements,
program development, and the purchase of
equipment and supplies.
Co-Chair Therriault explained that there was also duplicated
language for the Department of Environmental Conservation
Unalaska's reappropriation between section 49 (page 80) and
section 66 (page 91). The duplicative language was deleted
from section 66 in the proposed committee substitute. He
pointed out that section 54, Kiawock reappropiation under
the Department of Environmental Conservation (page 83) would
also be deleted due to duplication.
Insert new bill sections to read:

amount of general funds/mental health appropriated by
sec. 3, ch. 85, SLA 1999, page 5, line 27, as amended

reappropriated by this subsection.
* Sec. B. Section A of this Act takes effect
immediately under AS 01.10.070(c).
Co-Chair Therriault observed that the amendment is a fund
source switch, which would free up money for the Department
of Transportation and Public Facilities match. Co-Chair
Mulder explained that the appropriation utilizes Temporary
Assistance to Needy Families funds from the FY01 budget.
There being NO OBJECTION, Amendment 1 was adopted.
Representative Austerman MOVED to ADOPT Amendment 2. Co-
Chair Therriault OBJECTED for the purpose of discussion.
Larsen Bay Water Storage Tank Replacement 150.0 GF
Representative Austerman explained that the condition is
critical. Following the December 6th, 1999 earthquake that
centered on the Kodiak Island region, registering 7.0 on the
Richter scale (HRV), the community water tank in the village
of Larsen Bay deteriorated completely. Presently they are
piping in water through a temporary system that doesn't
allow for filtering. This puts the village in a state of
noncompliance with the Surface Water Treatment Rule.
Co-Chair Therriault explained that he would maintain his
objection. He noted that there are no extra funds since
funding was used for pupil transportation.
Co-Chair Mulder asked to HOLD the amendment until the end of
the meeting. Representative Austerman WITHDREW the
amendment for discussion later in the meeting.
Co-Chair Mulder MOVED to ADOPT Amendment 3.
Add a new section to read:
*Sec -. ANCHORAGE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION.
(a) The amount earned by the investments authorized by
AS 37.15.410 and AS 37.15.420 of the International
Airports Construction Fund for the period February 28,
1999 to June 30, 2001, after any payment required under
U.S.C. 148, not to exceed $ 18,140,000, is appropriated
from the International Airports Construction Fund to
the Department of Transportation & Public Facilities
for construction costs of the Anchorage International
Airport Terminal Redevelopment Project.
(b) The appropriation in section (a) is contingent
upon approval by the signatory airlines in accordance
with the Anchorage International Airport operating
agreement.
Representative J. Davies noted that the amendment was a
duplication of Amendment 29. Amendment 29 was sponsored by
Co-Chair Mulder and Representative J. Davies. Amendment 3
was WITHDRAWN.
Representative J. Davies WITHDREW Amendment 4.
Representative J. Davies MOVED to ADOPT Amendment 5. Co-
Chair Mulder OBJECTED. Amendment 4 would add a new section:
Sec. ____ Learning Opportunity Grants. The sum of
$6,430,222 is appropriated from the general fund to the
Department of Education and Early Development for
payment as grants to each school district in an amount
equal to the school district's adjusted average daily
membership multiplied by $30.60, as Learning
Opportunity Grants to pay the costs of supplemental
student instructional programs to improve student
performance on the high school graduation examination
or benchmark examinations for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 2001.
Representative J. Davies stressed that the net effect would
be an addition of $630 thousand dollars. The increment would
hold most urban school districts harmless for the shift of
adjusted ADM. It would also increase the amount of money
available for rural school districts. Some of the rural
school districts were cut by a third through the new ADM
adjustments to the grant program.
Co-Chair Mulder commented that the funding was not provided
for in the operating budget. He stated that the spending
plan would not work if the amendment were adopted.
A roll call vote was taken on the motion.

Representative J. Davies MOVED to ADOPT Amendment 7. Co-
Chair Mulder OBJECTED.
Representative J. Davies noted that the Amendment 7
appropriates $450,000 from the general fund to the
Department of Administration for the City of Kenai. The
appropriation funds the Kenai Coastal Trail/Bluff
Restoration project. The trail is in danger due to erosion
Co-Chair Therriault suggested that the City of Kenai should
have considered the use of their municipal matching grant
for the item.
A roll call vote was taken on the motion to adopt Amendment
7.

Chair Therriault noted that the project was on the list, but
that there were not enough funds.
A roll call vote was taken on the motion to adopt Amendment
9.

Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC)
Low Income Weatherization $5.4 million dollars
($1.4 million federal receipts & $4.0 million Corp.
receipts)
Representative J. Davies spoke in support of the amendment.
The program has been one of the more successful in terms of
providing energy efficiency. The item can reduce the demand
on Power Cost Equalization.
Co-Chair Therriault spoke in support of the program and
noted that funds for the program have doubled over the last
year. The item received $1 million in state funds in FY00.
It would receive $2 million dollars in FY01.
Co-Chair Mulder clarified that the total appropriation is
$3.4, of which $2 million dollars are corporate receipts and
$1.4 million dollars are in federal funds.

Chair Mulder OBJECTED.
Sec. ___ DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND EARLY DEVELOPMENT
The sum of $602,900 is appropriated from the general
fund to the Department of Education and Early
Development, Schools for the Handicapped, for the
educational cost of children placed in out-of-state
residential treatment for the fiscal year ending June
30,2000.
Representative J. Davies discussed Amendment 11. He
explained that the amendment would fund educational costs of
children placed in out-of-state residential treatment
schools for the handicap. There are 56 children in the
custody of either the Division of Family and Youth Services
or the Division of Juvenile Justice that would benefit from
these services.
Co-Chair Mulder noted that the amendment would fund a
supplemental request. He explained that the supplemental
request has exceeded the allocation by $9 million dollars.
He acknowledged that the costs would need to be paid in the
FY01 budget.
Representative J. Davies pointed out that part of the
purpose of a supplemental budget is to deal with unforeseen
disasters. He emphasized that it does not make sense to push
caseload driven expenses out of the budget because of the
cost of natural disasters.
A roll call vote was taken on the motion to adopt Amendment
11.
IN FAVOR: Davies, Grussendorf
OPPOSED: Austerman, Bunde, Davis, Foster, Kohring,
Williams, Therriault, Mulder
Representative Moses was absent from the vote.
The MOTION FAILED (2-8).
Representative J. Davies MOVED to ADOPT Amendment 12. Co-
Chair Mulder OBJECTED.
Statewide Highways and Aviation Maintenance ($971.4)HWCF
Statewide Highways and Aviation Maintenance $971.4 GF
Central Highways and Aviation (528.6) HWCF
Central Highways and Aviation 528.6 GF
Representative J. Davies spoke in support of the amendment.
The Highway Working Capital Fund (HWCF) is made up of money
agencies have contributed to replace vehicles that have
reached the ends of their useful lives. The appropriation of
$1.5 million from the HWCF would impact the cash flow of
this fund. All departments including the Department of
Transportation and Public Facilities will either have to
delay replacement of vehicles or finance replacements.
Financing costs would be spread as a cost to the fund,
resulting in increased charges for all departments.
If the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities
does not receive an appropriation for $1.5 million dollars,
the department would be unable to reopen maintenance
stations and would have to close additional maintenance
stations and some rural airports.
Co-Chair Mulder spoke against the amendment. He observed
that the Highway Working Capital Fund is available for
appropriation. He concluded that vehicles would be leased
instead of purchased. He stressed that it was a choice
between opening maintenance stations and buying new vehicles
and acknowledged that the issue would have to be revisited
in the next year.
Representative J. Davies pointed out that it costs more to
lease vehicles and that the fund was created to allow
agencies to save money.
Representative G. Davis cautioned that it would be a bad
precedent to rob from the Fund.
A roll call vote was taken on the motion to adopt Amendment
12.
IN FAVOR: Davies, Grussendorf
OPPOSED: Austerman, Bunde, Davis, Foster, Kohring,
Williams, Therriault, Mulder
Representative Moses was absent from the vote.
The MOTION FAILED (2-8).
Amendment 13 was HELD.
Amendment 14 was WITHDRAWN as unnecessary.
Representative J. Davies MOVED to ADOPT Amendment new 15.
(h) The sum of $100,000 is appropriated from statutory
designated program receipts (AS 37.05. 146(b)(3)). to
the Department of Administration, office of public
advocacy for operating costs for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 2000.
Co-Chair Mulder stated that he is a co-sponsor of the
amendment. He explained that the funding source would be
fees received by the Office of Public Advocacy (OPA) for
management of public guardian accounts. If this amendment is
not approved OPA might not be able to pay all vendors in a
timely manner, which may undercut its ability to continue to
secure contractual services at a rate substantially below
the market rate for private attorney
There being NO OBJECTION, Amendment 15 was adopted.
Representative J. Davies MOVED to ADOPT Amendment 16. Co-
Chair Therriault OBJECTED.

The amendment groups deferred maintenance issues. He
stressed that there will be more costly repairs in the
future if the deferred maintenance is not addressed.
Co-Chair Therriault noted that the House funded deferred
maintenance for the Department of Corrections at $600
thousand dollars.
A roll call vote was taken on the motion to adopt Amendment
16.

Williams, Therriault, Mulder
Representative Moses was absent from the vote.
The MOTION FAILED (2-8).

OPPOSED: Austerman, Bunde, Davis, Foster, Kohring,

Chair Therriault OBJECTED.
AHFC Chugach View Renovation $2,000,000
AHFC Eyak Manor Renovation $1,600,000
AHFC Senior & Statewide Deferred
Maintenance and Renovation $975,000
Representative J. Davies spoke in support of Amendment 19.
He noted that the amendment would fund three of the highest
priority projects for the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation
(AHFC). They would be paid for with AHFC bond funds issued
under their GO authority.
Co-Chair Therriault spoke against the amendment. He noted
that funding was restored in the FY00 budget and added that
they are attempting to include the projects in a bond
package. He noted that there is $1,522,200 dollars in the
budget for statewide-deferred maintenance.
Representative J. Davies WITHDREW Amendment 19.
Representative Grussendorf MOVED to ADOPT Amendment 20 as
amended. Co-Chair Mulder OBJECTED.
Department of Transportation & Public Facilities
Marine Transportation Projects
Section 1, page 34, insert after line 21
Add project: Alaska Marine Highway System:
Sitka Shuttle Vessel $6,900,000 Federal Receipts
Representative Grussendorf spoke in support of the
amendment.
(TAPE CHANGE, HFC 00 - 137, SIDE 2)
Representative Grussendorf noted that federal funds could be
used for the appropriation. Representative Williams spoke
in support of the amendment.
Co-Chair Mulder questioned if additional federal
authorization would result in other items being bumped off
the list. Representative Grussendorf responded that there
are always projects that are unable to go forward.
Representative Austerman spoke in support. He maintained
that a fast ferry would be a logical step for the ferry
system in Southeast Alaska.
Vice Chair Bunde spoke in opposition.
Representative J. Davies stressed that the vessel is a
critical part of the Southeast Transportation Plan.
Representative G. Davis spoke in support. He observed that a
fast ferry could provide savings. He questioned if the ferry
had been designed.
Vice Chair Bunde pointed out that savings would only be
achieved if an older slower boat, with more crew, were
eliminated.
KURT PARKAN, DEPUTY COMMISSIONER, DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC FACILITIES provided information on
the amendment. He noted that the department received $31
million dollars in federal authorization for FY00. The
department requested $69.0 million dollars in federal
authorization for FY01 and is prepared to go out for a RFP
within a couple of months. The estimated cost is $38 million
dollars. The project is in the Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP) plan.
Mr. Parkan explained that authorization would allow the
project to continue. The department would be able to capture
federal funding without loss of other projects.
Co-Chair Therriault observed that the federal match has been
reduced.
Co-Chair Mulder asked if another vessel would go off line.
Mr. Parkan could not identify which vessel would go off-
line. The Plan depends on the shuttle vessels.
Co-Chair Mulder expressed concern that the number of vessels
would not be reduced.
Mr. Parkan emphasized that the department cannot prove their
ability unless the first vessel is built. Representative J.
Davies pointed out that older vessels cannot be removed
unless there are new vessels to replace them. Representative
Austerman agreed and emphasized the need to complete the
first step.
Representative Grussendorf stressed that the tides in the
Sergius Narrows create difficulties with passage. The fast
ferry could alleviate problems with passage during low
tides.
A roll call vote was taken on the motion to adopt Amendment
20.
IN FAVOR: Davies, Davis, Grussendorf, Williams, Austerman
OPPOSED: Bunde, Foster, Phillips, Mulder, Therriault
Representative Moses was absent from the vote.
The MOTION FAILED (5-5).
Representative J. Davies MOVED to ADOPT Amendment 21. Co-
Chair Mulder OBJECTED.
*Sec. . EXXON VALDEZ OIL SPILL RESTORATION FUND. (a)
The legislature finds that
(1) as a result of the judgment entered by the United
States District Court in the criminal case United
States of America v. Exxon Shipping Company and Exxon
Corporation, No. A90-015 CR. the state received
$50,000,000 in restitution "to be used by the State of
Alaska... exclusively for restoration projects. within
the State of Alaska, relating to the 'Exxon Valdez' oil
spill":
(2) the money received by the state in restitution is
held in the "Exxon Valdez oil spill restoration fund,"
established by the Department of Revenue, to implement
the judgment; and
(3) the appropriation in (b) of this section is made
in order to achieve the purposes set out in the court's
restitution order described in (1) of this subsection.
(b) The unappropriated and unobligated balance of
income accrued on or before June 30, 2001. in the fund
described in (a)(2) of this section is appropriated to
the Department of Fish and Game for the purpose of
restoring. replacing, or enhancing resources or
services injured or lost as a result of the Exxon
Valdez oil spill through a multiple-year project to
provide for coordination among the Department of Fish
and Game, the Department of Environmental Conservation,
the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council, the North
Pacific Research Board, and similar entities, of
fisheries and contaminants research and monitoring
projects financed or carried out by those entities in
this state and the North Pacific waters.
* Sec. -. LAPSE PROVISION. The appropriation made by
sec. (b) of this Act is for a capital project and
lapses under AS 3 7.25.020.
Representative J. Davies explained that the amendment would
appropriate some of the interest and unobligated balance of
the $50 million dollars in the EVOSS Fund to the Department
of Fish and Game to continue the efforts of restoration. The
Department of Fish and Game would coordinate with the
Department of Environmental Conservation and the Trustee
Council to carry out long-term projects.
Co-Chair Mulder expressed concern that the language is
nebulous. He stated that he would not be as reluctant to
support specific projects and emphasized that EVOSS funds
are limited.
Representative J. Davies argued in support. He suggested a
conceptual amendment to bring specific projects to the
Legislative Budget and Audit Committee. Co-Chair Mulder
agreed that the request could be presented to the
Legislative Budget and Audit Committee without additional
authorization.
In response to a question by Representative G. Davis, Co-
Chair Mulder estimated that there is $250 thousand dollars
in interest.
Co-Chair Therriault agreed that if the amendment were not
adopted that specific projects could be brought to the
Legislative Budget and Audit Committee for consideration.
Representative J. Davies observed that the Legislative
Budget and Audit Committee has become increasingly reluctant
to approve projects without legislative direction. He added
that the conceptual amendment would give clear direction to
the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee.
A roll call vote was taken on the motion to adopt Amendment
21.
IN FAVOR: Davies, Grussendorf
OPPOSED: Austerman, Bunde, Davis, Foster, Kohring,
Williams, Therriault, Mulder

Development, early development, head start grants, for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001.
Representative J. Davies explained that the purpose of the
amendment is to make headway on Head Start funding. He noted
that general funds would be freed for statewide Head Start
projects.
Co-Chair Mulder argued against the amendment. He observed
that the Matsu Youth facility would be opened. He
acknowledged that the Governor's request was not fully
funded. There has been level funding for three consecutive
years.
Representative J. Davies pointed out that the amendment
would be a net zero. Fewer than 30 percent of the eligible
children are being reached.

Representative J. Davies explained that the amendment would
appropriate AIDEA funds available through a one-time
dividend to a capitalization fund for Power Cost
Equalization.
Co-Chair Therriault observed that the AIDEA dividend funds

Rural Power Systems Upgrades 540,000 CF
(ED99)
Representative J. Davies noted that the legislature has
appropriated general funds for Rural Power Systems upgrades
in SLA 92, 93, 95, 96 and 97. These funds have been used to
match other state, local and federal funds to complete
projects in many rural communities. This appropriation
equates to $45.0 thousand dollars each for projects in 12
rural communities. Participation by the Denali Commission
($7.8 million) helps expedite a longstanding state program
to complete electrical system upgrades. Improvements
include: re-sizing generators, re-balancing of electrical
loads, line loss assessments, line extensions, powerhouse
construction and other electrical generation and
distribution system repairs or upgrades which bring the
systems into compliance with National Electric Code and
Rural Utilities Services standards, prevent hazardous
conditions and enhance system reliability.
Co-Chair Therriault observed that the Denali Commission does
not require a match. He pointed out that there is
approximately $1.4 million dollars in the budget for some
state participation. He argued that there is already state
participation.
Representative J. Davies acknowledged that there is limited
state participation but argued that additional help is
necessary to make the cost of providing power in rural
Alaska more efficient.

dollars in U.S. Department of Energy grants for the
development of wind/fuel cell hybrid systems and battery
storage applications in rural Alaska. He noted that this

Representative J. Davies explained that this amendment would
provide funding to address the projected waitlist of

that the waitlist is substantial and that the appropriation
would bring the wait to almost zero. He added that if help
is not available that some individuals would need to turn to
welfare.

Petroleum Reserve - Alaska impact program."
Representative J. Davies stressed that the language was in
the Senate version.
Co-Chair Therriault explained that the intent is to require
the actual list of projects that would be funded from the
NPRA account.
Representative Grussendorf observed that there are a number
of revenues that come to municipalities in lieu of taxes. He
stressed that this item is being singled out for different
treatment.
Co-Chair Mulder observed that discussions with the Senator
from Kotzebue resulted in discussion of a 50/50,
local/statewide, approach to the revenues.
Representative J. Davies stressed that the intent is to help
local communities that are impacted. The funds are not
viewed as statewide impact funds. He noted that other
communities are not asked to use their impact funds to
benefit the state. Congress provided the money as a local
impact.

Therriault OBJECTED for the purpose of discussion.
Add a new section to read:
*Sec -. ANCHORAGE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION.
(a) The amount earned by the investments authorized by
AS 37.15.410 and AS 37.15.420 of the International
Airports Construction Fund for the period February 28,
1999 to June 30, 2001. after an payment required under
U.S.C. 148, not to exceed $ 18,140,000, is appropriated
from the International Airports Construction Fund to
the Department of Transportation & Public Facilities
for construction costs of the Anchorage International
Airport Terminal Redevelopment Project.
(b) The appropriation in section (a) is contingent
upon approval by the signatory airlines in accordance
with the Anchorage International Airport operating
agreement.
Co-Chair Mulder observed that the amendment was co-sponsored
by Representative J. Davies. He explained that the allows
the airport authority to expend the interest income from the
bonds for the cost of the on-going project. It is contingent
on support of the signatory airlines at the airport.
Vice Chair Bunde stated that he would support the amendment
with the conditional approval by the signatory airlines.
Representative J. Davies pointed out that the money would
accrue to the project and that the scope is not changed. The
amendment does not cause an increase in contribution by any
of the operating airlines.
There being NO OBJECTION, Amendment 29 was adopted.
Representative J. Davies MOVED to ADOPT Amendment 30. Co-
Chair Mulder OBJECTED.
Add a new section to read:
*Sec. Department of Health and Social Services
The sum of $700,000 is appropriated from general funds
to the Department of Health and Social Services for the
Infant Learning Program for the fiscal year ending June
30, 2001.
Representative J. Davies explained that the amendment would
support the Infant Learning Program. The conference
committee on the Operating budget funds the Governor's
requested increment of $700,000 GF to eliminate the wait
list for this program with interagency Receipts. The source
of the funds is the recent 5-year Fetal Alcohol
Syndrome/Fetal Alcohol Affect federal grant obtained by
Senator Ted Stevens. He stressed that the concern is the
shift in the funding source.
• The children on the Infant Learning Program wait list
are 50% delayed and do not tend to have FAS.
• Alaska has one of the nation 's highest estimated rates
of alcohol-related risk factors and a high rate of
births where alcohol was present during pregnancy.
• The purpose of the new federal grant is not to use the
funds to supplant state general funds but provide funds for
a statewide, comprehensive FAS prevention, intervention and
service delivery project. Much needs to be done to address
this entirely preventable cause of birth defects to Alaska's
children.
Co-Chair Mulder acknowledged that funding was redirected
from the FAS program.
Representative J. Davies stressed that the concern is with
the funding source not the amount. He stressed that
prevention can save over a million dollars in a child's
lifetime.
Insert a new section after section 69 (effective dates) as
follows:
Representative J. Davies noted that the appropriation is not
fully funded. Mr. Spencer observed that there would be
enough funds to get started. He noted that the department

Alaska Marine Highway System:
Overhaul, Rehabilitation, and Mandatory Training
4,800,000
Representative Williams explained that the appropriation
supports annual vessel overhaul and shore facility
maintenance programs - ($450,000). He argued that the cut in
vessel maintenance would be spread across the fleet and
hasten the continued deterioration of the aging ships. He
noted that the remaining $150,000 thousand dollars is for
Standards for Training, Certification and Watchkeeping
(STCW) that would be reduced by a third ($150,000). The
Alaska Marine Highway System is on a fixed schedule to
ensure compliance with STCW regulations by the February 1,
2002 deadline. Failure to achieve fleet-wide STCW
certification would jeopardize crew certification needed to
meet summer service requirements in 2002.
Co-Chair Therriault noted that the item is currently flat-
funded at last year's level. He maintained his objection.

first 10 projects under school construction and finish the

Co-Chair Mulder explained that there are projects within the
Anchorage allocation that are soft in terms of being able to
be delivered to the street in time. The department requested
authorization to begin the International Airport Road-
Diamond Boulevard Reconstruction if another project is not
ready.
Representative J. Davies pointed out that the amendment
would allow the next project that is ready to be funded if

maintenance, and depreciation costs related to space of
covered buildings managed under an agreement with the
Department of Administration."
The appropriations to DOT/PF made by the Senate in the
operating budget are incompatible with this
legislation. The intent was to operate and maintain
state buildings in a more businesslike, cost-effective
manner, and to begin addressing the extensive backlog
of deferred maintenance problems. The diversion of
funds from the Public Building Fund for other purposes
means the loss of a large part of the money collected
to begin addressing these deferred maintenance
problems, resulting in continued deterioration of the
facilities. Some of these problems are urgent,
including facilities that right now have leaking roofs
and window vapor seals.
This use of funds to subsidize the DOT/PF operating
budget would also clearly be contrary to AS 3
7.07.080(e) which requires that the agency providing
the service (the Public Building Fund) must charge for
the services based on actual costs or a cost allocation
method.
Representative J. Davies maintained that the appropriation
is an inappropriate use of the Public Building Fund.

This grant program was funded in FY00 and it is the
intent of the legislature to continue funding it
through FY01. The legislature recommends that $136,800
of the funds will be used for grants, and $52,000 will
be used to administer the grants program.

It is the intent of the legislature that the
appropriation for the Small Business Development

Co-Chair Therriault noted that the amendment adopts Senate
intent language.
Representative J. Davies MOVED to AMEND Amendment 37: Change

24.
DENNY DEWITT, STAFF, REPRESENTATIVE MULDER explained that
the amendment would be to delete section 24(a). He observed
that the language was inserted to authorize additional
funding to Occupational Licensing for FY00. He noted that
similar language is in the legislation for FY01. Both
sections have immediate effective dates. If the legislation
were signed subsequent to the operating budget it would
disallow funding for FY00.

senate version was quite open in regards to general economic
development. The amendment was tightened to speak
specifically to the Matanuska-Susitna Borough for Point
MacKenzie port development and associated rail line
improvements within the borough. The interest would accrue
to the general fund.
Representative Grussendorf pointed out the original funds
came out of the Railbelt Energy Fund. He maintained that
