II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
2:24:55 PM
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD moved and asked unanimous consent that
the Legislative Council approve the agenda as presented.
CHAIR HANNAN, seeing no objections and no changes, moved on
to the next action item.
III. RATIFICATION OF SANCTIONED CHARITABLE EVENTS
A. KENAI RIVER JUNIOR CLASSICAUGUST 11, 2021
B. TED STEVENS KENAI RIVER CLASSICAUGUST 18, 19, &
20, 2021
C. KENAI RIVER WOMEN'S CLASSICSEPTEMBER 9, 10, & 11,
2021
2:25:13 PM
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD moved and asked unanimous
consent that Legislative Council ratify the
Chair's sanctioning of the following charitable
events per AS 24.60.080 (a)(2)(B):a) Kenai River
Junior ClassicAugust 11, 2021; b) Ted Stevens
Kenai River ClassicAugust 18, 19, & 20, 2021;
and c)
Kenai River Women's ClassicSeptember 9, 10, &
11, 2021.
CHAIR HANNAN objected for purposes of discussion and said
she wanted to make sure members knew that the events that
she had previously sanctioned she had also verified their
501(c)(3) status. She asked if there was any discussion or
objection to the motion.
SENATOR STEDMAN asked what the cost of entry fees for
elected officials would be for these three events.
CHAIR HANNAN said she did not recall.
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD said she had attended them in the past
and that legislators must submit a finding of exactly how
much they spent and put it on their disclosure form. She
said it all depends on what a legislator receives; if they
receive the basket, if they go fishing one day, two days,
if they have a guest with them, it varies, she thought hers
was around $400 but could not recall exactly. She said she
believed she spent a half-day fishing.
SENATOR STEDMAN said that for future meetings it would be
nice to see the dollar amount that would be typical, even
if it was entertainment, a play, whatever it is, so that
members have an idea what kind of value is being offered to
elected officials at the Committee.
CHAIR HANNAN agreed that she would do that next year,
assuming she retained her position as Chair of Legislative
Council. She said she knew that this was an event that has
been sanctioned for a number of years and was not sure if
its prices changed from year to year, but she would make
sure and include those next year.
SENATOR BISHOP said that in the future it would be
interesting to see how much the dispersion is for these
nonprofits, such as the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, etc.
He said he was interested to see a breakdown of how that
money gets allocated to each group.
CHAIR HANNAN clarified for her understanding and for staff
direction and said that currently sanctioning of charitable
events does not require a follow-up report from that
501(c)(3) to report back regarding their spending. She
stated that Council sanctions on the front end rather than
in a report after the fact. She asked Ms. Geary to please
confirm.
JESSICA GEARY, Executive Director, Legislative Affairs
Agency, stated that Chair Hannan was correct; there was no
reporting back to the Agency on events that Legislative
Council has sanctioned or ratified. She said it was a
separate transaction outside of the Legislature.
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD said that if Legislative Council asked
for the breakdown of the Kenai River Classic events, they
would have to do it for all events, including Skits, which
is an event that she always struggles with. She said she
knew it was not sanctioned this year, but if it is for one,
then members must do it for all events.
CHAIR HANNAN asked if there was any more discussion. Upon
hearing none, she removed her objection and said that the
above events had been ratified for 2021.
IV. COMMITTEE BUSINESS
A. AMENDED COVID-19 POLICYPUBLIC ACCESS TO LEGISLATIVE
FACILITIES
2:29:45 PM
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD said that she had questions and
concerns regarding this motion, but then moved that
Legislative Council adopt the COVID-19 Mitigation Policy
dated May 14, 2021, amended June 15, 2021.
CHAIR HANNAN objected for the purpose of discussion.
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD said that she thought policy was moving
in a good direction in that individuals were not being
forced to wear face coverings which was great. She said
that there was a policy adopted on May 14 and the amendment
was made June 15, 2021. Under 1, Section 2, where it said
unvaccinated individuals were strongly encouraged to wear a
mask in any public setting, so, that was pretty much
someone's life, if a person declined to wear a face
covering because of a medical condition or disability, this
policy did not require proof in the form of medical
documentation that was where this policy used to end. Now
it reads: legislators and legislative employees must work
to the confidential ADA accommodations process with
Personnel. She said she wanted to make sure she was not
misinterpreting this in any way. She said she was concerned
that it could be interpreted that if a person-a member of
the public, a legislator, or anybody who is unvaccinated
that chooses to not wear a face covering, that this may
have some requirements to have to go through an ADA
process. She then asked for clarification from the Chair.
CHAIR HANNAN asked Ms. Geary to address the Vice-Chair's
concerns.
MS. GEARY said that section is supposed to go with 1 "an
individual legislative office or agency may require masks
be worn during the delivery of in-person services" and
because they would not be asking for vaccination status,
there is that statement strongly encouraging masks to
unvaccinated individuals. If there were a situation where
somebody wanted to mask in their office, and they had
someone come in who refused to wear a mask, that is what
this is referencing; that one would not have to show
medical documentation. Legislative employees should go
through the ADA process, the public need not. That would be
an individual decision for that office.
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD clarified that the public would not
have to go through this process, there would be no
segregation of the public within the Capitol over
vaccination status, and that this would only apply if one
was going into someone's office who is requiring a face
covering.
MS. GEARY said that the Vice-Chair was correct.
CHAIR HANNAN noted that the script was not updated to
reflect today's date and asked the Vice-Chair to please re-
read the motion with today's date.
2:33:29 PM
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD moved that Legislative Council adopt
the COVID-19 Mitigation Policy dated May 14, 2021, amended
June 16, 2021, with recommendations, suggestions, and
advice that members heard today.
REPRESENTATIVE TILTON asked who would be making decisions
for the individual LIOs located in each community.
MS. GEARY said the discretion for the LIOs was currently a
multi-pronged approach, so whatever was passed in this
Committee today would also apply to the LIOs. However, if
there were an outbreak or a building closure, those
individual LIO officers do have some latitude for making
those decisions. The intent was that they would be fully
open to the public as before, but there could be a
situation where a particular LIO would have to be handled
slightly differently. That decision would be made in
consultation with herself and the Chair.
REPRESENTATIVE TILTON confirmed that the policy overall
falls back to the policy here and the individual LIOs on a
case-by-case basis and very rarely should there be some
different situation that would require consultation by Ms.
Geary and... she then asked to be reminded of who the other
consultant for changes would be.
MS. GEARY stated that it would be the Chair of Legislative
Council.
REPRESENTATIVE TILTON asked if there would be a
notification sent out to the individuals who resided in
that LIO.
MS. GEARY said that the intent would be that the LIO
Officer would post signage or send an email regarding the
closure.
REPRESENTATIVE TILTON said she wanted to make sure, though
it might be obvious, that this policy regarding Legislative
facilities opening up to the public included the Capitol as
well.
CHAIR HANNAN confirmed this was true.
REPRESENTATIVE TILTON thanked her and said she wanted to
have that on the record as this discussion centered on
LIOs.
SENATOR REINBOLD said that looking at the whole policy, she
wanted to get on the record that she believed there had
been 70- or 80,000 people who had COVID-19 who said the
vaccination does not have any additional benefit. She said
she did not want to violate any Civil Rights, any HIPAA
laws, she did not want any part of the mask policy reversed
and did not want anybody segregated like what she described
was happening in the stores such as Costco and Fred Meyer,
even at...
CHAIR HANNAN asked the Vice-Chair to please keep her
comments to the policy at hand.
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD said that she wanted to make sure that
did not happen and she wanted to have on the record that
because of so many people who have had COVID, even, they
believe, before the test was available, in addition to
doctor's diagnosis, in addition to the T-cell test, which
she said she was getting the next week and described as a
T-Cell immunity test that has been approved by the CDC as
well as antigen tests that a lot of people with natural
immunity to COVID and there is no sense in them taking
that, so she wanted to make sure that that is also,
comprehensive natural immunity, is a very important, good,
long-lasting. She continued that Cleveland Clinic and also
the Washington University have put out some very good
information in regard to that.
CHAIR HANNAN asked if there were any further questions
about the policy.
SENATOR BISHOP asked the shelf-life of this policy.
CHAIR HANNAN said she believed that once Legislative
Council instituted this policy it is the policy until
members amended the policy.
MS. GEARY confirmed that the Chair was correct.
SENATOR STEVENS agreed with the Chair that some policies
used by members today go back years and remain in effect
until they are changed.
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD said she forgot to speak to Item IV,
and said that regarding close contacts, that sometimes one
might not know if they were in close contact or not. When
it says that the Legislature would follow CDC guidelines,
obviously it changes a lot, and that she had concerns that
the Legislature would not be able to keep up with the ever-
changing guidance and would simply do their best. She said
that, for the record, it may not be perfect, but that
people would try to follow the guidance, but suggested
amending "will" to "may" or "try" or something to allow for
space in case it became an issue later.
REPRESENTATIVE TILTON spoke to her concern about the
challenges and complications in following CDC guidelines by
people with different opinions about what CDC guidelines
were. She wondered how members could take care of that
going forward and was concerned that the word "will" leaves
no leeway for interpretation.
MS. GEARY said one of the big differences is that during
session the Legislature had a contractor that was
responsible for ensuring up-to-date CDC guidance was being
followed. After this special session, there is no longer a
contractor so it will be personal responsibility for the
individual to work through public health and whatever means
they choose to. She believed it would be good practice for
the Legislature to follow CDC guidance, but there was
nothing in this policy as far as follow-up or consequences.
She asked Representative Tilton if that answered her
question.
REPRESENTATIVE TILTON said that it helped.
SENATOR STEVENS said he believed members knew this day was
coming, it had been a long time protecting this building
and protecting Legislators and staff. He thanked Ms. Geary
and her staff for doing a tremendous job limiting the
exposure of COVID-19 within the Capitol Complex. He said
everyone should be very, very proud of this work, including
reaching about 80% vaccination rates. He asked what the
impact of public access to the Capitol would be to the
Legislature's contract with Beacon. He also asked Ms. Geary
to help him understand that there will no longer be any
Beacon staff within the Capitol.
MS. GEARY said that the Legislature's contract with Beacon
would end June 30, but they had been asked to stay for the
week after the special session adjourned so that members
and staff traveling back through Canada could get their
pre-travel testing, but that services would be very
limited, such as one Beacon employee strictly doing
testing. She said he brought up a good point, but she
thought this committee would need to make any decisions
about extending the contract to include testing for the
public.
SENATOR STEVENS thanked Ms. Geary.
REPRESENTATIVE TILTON asked Ms. Geary since the contract
will end and there is another special session planned,
there would not be Beacon employees at the Capitol during
that time unless Legislative Council enacted a change.
MS. GEARY confirmed that Representative Tilton was correct;
there will no longer be a contract with Beacon. If this
committee wanted to contract with Beacon again that would
be up to this committee. LAA would likely recommend doing
an RFP or something similar, however that is not currently
up for discussion.
REPRESENTATIVE TILTON thanked Ms. Geary for her work and
said this is a day she had been looking forward to and had
been hoping for some time to return access of the Capitol
to the Alaskan public.
CHAIR HANNAN noted that while it is not in the policy, the
key fobs that staff and legislators have had been shut down
so they only work at two entrances. She said that when this
policy is amended, it was her understanding that the key
fobs would once again work for entrance and egress from the
building.
MS. GEARY confirmed that she would gladly let Maintenance
know that they could reactive everyone's key cards and
would send out a notice to the building occupants so they
would know they are no longer restricted.
2:44:43 PM
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD moved to amend the policy to include
after the word "will" the word "strive" under IV in the
Covid-19 Mitigation Policy.
CHAIR HANNAN asked if members were clear on the amendment
and asked if there were any objections.
SENATOR STEVENS objected.
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD said that committing to guidance was an
absolute commitment, saying the Legislature was submitting
to the federal government CDC guidance did not make sense
to her. She thought the Legislative body needed to set
their own policies, because the CDC guidance has been all
over the map on many, many different things and they have
taken complete U-turns on many, many things. She suggested
that the Legislature could say they would not, or they
would, but she thought striving was a positive word that
moved the policy in the right direction but would not hold
the Legislature beholden to the CDC which has been wrong
over and over again.
SENATOR STEVENS said he heard what Vice-Chair Reinbold was
saying, but the CDC has been the gold standard of all of
this, and he would hesitate to change that in any way. He
thought the way the policy was written was just fine, and
members want to keep protecting this building as has been
done in the past and make sure there are no outbreaks here.
He was against that amendment.
REPRESENTATIVE TILTON said she was in favor of the
amendment. She was looking to have the Capitol open, but
believed that saying the Legislature would follow CDC
guidelines but then saying that there is no personal
responsibility that we are basing this on means that the
word "strive" would be a better fit. She said the question
earlier of how close contact tracing and testing was
handled by a contractor became controversial and could
become again if the Legislature had locked themselves in to
the word "will."
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK said that this was for people who had
tested positive, and he would think that someone who had
tested positive would want to do everything in their power
to protect others and protect themselves and it was really
easy to look up and see what the latest guidelines are.
There is personal responsibility in that; to say that the
Legislature would strive to follow means that you can
intentionally fall short but still prove that you strove to
follow guidance. He said he would prefer to keep it as it
is, and at this time he would not be supporting the
amendment.
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD said she could give an example of her
sister, who was a stay-at-home mom, did not-
CHAIR HANNAN asked her to keep her comments to the motion
to amend.
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD said that this was pertinent. They were
telling her what she could and could not do in her own
home. She said she was a homeschool mom who found it very
invasive, the contact tracing, and that was a violation of
her freedoms and she basically asked them to step back.
This, she said, she did not want to be told by the CDC, who
some are calling the Cult of Public Health, to be telling
people what to do in their individual homes, so she thought
it was a positive compromise to strive to follow them but
to be told that that the Legislature was beholden to the
CDC, she thought was just wrong.
CHAIR HANNAN called for a vote on the motion to amend Item
IV of the Covid-19 Mitigation Policy, adding "strive" after
"will".
2:48:57 PM
A roll call vote was taken.
YEAS: Representative Tilton, Senator Reinbold
NAYS: Representatives Edgmon Foster, Hannan, Stutes, Tuck;
Senators Bishop, Stedman, Stevens.
The amendment failed 2-8.
CHAIR HANNAN removed her objection from the initial Covid-
19 Mitigation Policy, said that members had had an
opportunity to discuss, and it was time to vote.
2:50:05 PM
A roll call vote was taken.
YEAS: Representatives Edgmon, Foster, Hannan, Stutes,
Tilton, Tuck; Senators Bishop, Reinbold, Stedman, Stevens.
NAYS: none.
The motion passed 10-0.
V. COMMITTEE BUSINESS - EXECUTIVE SESSION
A. SPECIAL SESSION PER DIEM
2:50:57 PM
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD moved that the Legislative Council go
into Executive Session under Uniform Rule 22(b)(3),
discussion of a matter that may, by law, be required to be
confidential. The following individuals may remain in the
room or on-line: Jessica Geary, Sant? Lesh, Megan Wallace,
Emily Nauman, any Legislators not on Legislative Council,
and any staff of Legislative Council members.
2:51:23 PM
Council went into Executive Session.
3:19:47 PM
Council came out of Executive Session.
SPEAKER STUTES moved Legislative Council authorize Special
Session per diem payments retroactive to May 20, 2021, for
the First Special Session of the Thirty-Second Alaska State
Legislature.
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD objected.
CHAIR HANNAN said she would allow members to speak to the
motion.
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD said she would like to make a friendly
amendment to the motion by adding "physically present in
Juneau" after the word "members."
SENATOR STEDMAN objected.
CHAIR-HANNAN offered discussion to the amendment.
SENATOR STEDMAN said that when members are called into
Special Session, all of their districts were different in
geographical size, how many mayors, how many school boards,
so on and so forth. He said some of them were vast and
spread out such as Representatives Foster's and Edgmon's
districts, with massive geographical districts; if they
wanted to go back to the district from a Special Session to
be in one of their district communities, he did not think
it was fair to exclude them and make it a requirement for
them to be in Juneau. He said during a Special Session,
some members, depending on committee assignment and roles
they play, are busy every day. He said a good portion of
members were not busy and would go home or to their
district for meetings, but must come back on a moment's
notice for meetings in Juneau which did not allow these
members to seek employment during Special Sessions and was
highly restrictive.
Also, he wanted to encourage a broad age spectrum of
society to come to Juneau and do their civic duty which
would include men and women with families and children; and
spoke to the difficulty of finding a home or rental in
Juneau, let alone the difficulty in guessing when Session
might end and find lodging in advance for the right amount
of time. He thought it was far too restrictive to require
that kind of verbiage, to be in Juneau. Also, he added,
when one files for per diem, all records were public and
the media always went in and checked travel records, per
diem records, and they knew the ones who were in the
building, who was present, who worked, who was in and out
working, and so on and so forth. It would be noticed by
one's constituents and the news media if one was a loafer
and was collecting per diem, it would not be secret. It
would be up to an individual elected official and their
constituents to form a relationship that ensured continued
support for that elected official. He said he believed it
was too restricted, the amendment should not be adopted, he
did not think it was in the interest of a broad spectrum of
elected officials in Juneau, in particular members with
families and members with large geographic districts.
SPEAKER STUTES said she would echo the good Senator's
comments and again would like to bring to light the fact
that when members went home to their local communities it
did not mean they were not carrying out their Legislative
business. As an example, she said the Anchorage LIO was
very active with committee meetings when members,
particularly from the Anchorage area, have access to that
LIO and that Judiciary had several meetings during this
Special Session out of Anchorage, so she thought it unfair
to "punish them," so to speak, when they were indeed
carrying out State business outside of Juneau.
SENATOR STEVENS said that COVID-19 had really taught the
country some lessons, that many people were forced to work
outside their offices, work at home, and while he did not
want that to happen in the Legislature too much,
occasionally legislators have had meetings in which members
had been out of the building, either at their Juneau
lodging or their District homes, but participated online.
It seemed to him that members had a good honor system, it
had worked well in the past, where they had put down the
per diem they thought they deserved, and it was reviewed by
staff and the public. He thought leaving out the "in
Juneau" would be a job well done for members.
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD said she thought the public was very
disappointed because of the budget and the reduction of
PFD, she thought the Legislature was on very thin ice with
the ethics law. The Legislature, she said, was not on the
road system so travel is very expensive. She understood
that especially during tourist season the cost was
prohibitive, but she also believed the intent for per diem
is why members were in Juneau for the most part, so she
remained in support of her amendment but was open to
further discussion at a future date.
CHAIR HANNAN saw no further discussion and asked for a vote
on the above amendment.
3:26:42 PM
A roll call vote was taken.
YEAS: Senator Reinbold.
NAYS: Representatives Edgmon, Foster, Hannan, Stutes,
Tilton, Tuck; Senators Bishop, Stedman, Stevens.
The amendment failed 1-9.
CHAIR HANNAN called for a vote on the main motion.
3:27:30 PM
A roll call vote was taken.
YEAS: Representatives Edgmon, Foster, Hannan, Stutes,
Tilton, Tuck; Senators Bishop, Stedman, Stevens.
NAYS: Senator Reinbold.
The motion passed 9-1.
VI. LEASE EXTENSION
A. FAIRBANKS LIO
3:28:18 PM
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD moved that the Legislative Council
approve Renewal No. 1 of the lease for the Fairbanks office
space in the amount of $206,312.16.
CHAIR HANNAN objected for purposes of discussion and asked
Mr. JC Kestel, LAA Procurement Officer, to come forward to
speak to the Fairbanks lease extension.
JC KESTEL, Procurement Officer, Legislative Affairs Agency,
said the current lease agreement between AlaskaUSA Federal
Credit Union and the Legislative Affairs Agency for office
space in Fairbanks will terminate July 31, 2021. He said
there were five lease renewal options available under the
lease agreement, each for a one-year period. He said the
Agency was seeking Legislative Council's approval to
proceed with Renewal No. 1 for the lease for the period of
August 1, 2021, through July 31, 2022. If Legislative
Council approved Renewal No. 1 of the lease, he said it
would leave four one-year renewal options remaining and the
renewal period would exceed $35,000 in one fiscal year,
therefore Legislative Council's approval would be required.
Attached to the memorandum, he said, was additional lease
information and he would be happy to answer any questions
that members had. He noted one small mistake he had made on
the lease information sheet: at the top in the occupants
section, it listed that there was staff for Representative
Tuck at this LIO, however, that staff member was now a
staff member for Representative Kriess-Tomkins.
SENATOR STEVENS said when he was Chair Hannan's
predecessor, this council dealt a lot with this Fairbanks
issue and that office space and members went back and forth
several times about the others in Fairbanks who wanted to
have offices in North Pole, so at one point the North Pole
offices were going to be let go, and then at another point
it was going to be kept. He then asked Mr. Kestel to bring
the Council up to date on what other offices were being
occupied in Fairbanks for staff.
MR. KESTEL said the North Pole office was still occupied,
and he believed it was in the process of being moved out of
by Representative Prax's office and staff, and they would
be relocating into the Fairbanks LIO. He said that after
the election, there was a vacancy in the Fairbanks LIO
caused by the Representative from District 6 requesting
office space within his district in Tok. That left an empty
office in Fairbanks, allowing for savings to relocate
Representative Prax into the Fairbanks LIO, and as of June
30, he projected that they would be fully moved out of the
North Pole office.
SENATOR STEVENS thanked Mr. Kestel.
VICE-CHAIR REINBOLD wanted to hear from the Fairbanks
members.
SENATOR BISHOP said that he hated moving and noted there
was a savings of $897 in this one year lease from the prior
year's lease with the CPI adjustment going the other way.
He asked if a two-year option was considered since the
number is going south.
MR. KESTEL said that LAA had not looked at the two-year
option because of the way the leases are structured; it
would require an amendment with the landlord and for them
to agree to a two-year renewal period and that attempt was
not made.
SENATOR BISHOP spoke about the Representative from Tok and
how he wished he was still in the Fairbanks LIO and that it
seemed closer for him and to different parts of his
district.
CHAIR HANNAN made a joke about hunting and the member from
Tok and members laughed. She then said that Senator Stedman
was next to speak.
SENATOR STEDMAN said that if he heard correctly,
Representative Kreiss-Tomkins was going to have a staff
member in Fairbanks. He then made a joke followed by more
laughter.
CHAIR HANNAN made a joke then asked if there was more
discussion, and upon hearing none, removed her objection
from the motion and requested a vote.
3:34:15 PM
A roll call vote was taken.
YEAS: Representatives Edgmon, Foster, Hannan, Stutes,
Tilton, Tuck; Senator Bishop, Reinbold, Stedman, Stevens.
NAYS: none
The motion passed 10-0.
