Number 0001

HB 309 - NAMING ATWOOD BLDG IN ANCHORAGE
Number 0026
CHAIRMAN KOTT announced the committee would hear HB 309, "An Act
naming the Robert B. Atwood Building," sponsored by Representative
Cowdery.
Number 0065
ANNETTE DEAL, Legislative Staff to Representative John Cowdery,
Alaska State Legislature, informed the committee that HB 309 was
moved out of the House State Affairs Committee the previous week.
She informed the committee, while referring to a proposed committee
substitute (CS), that the last sentence was added which specifies
the date for the naming of the building. She stated there is also
a change in the first sentence where the date March 31, 2002, was
also added. Ms. Deal said the reason for the change is a lease
provision currently exists between the state and the Bank of
America Building. The current name is to remain with the building
until the Bank of America lease expires or the tenant relinquishes
its lease which could be at an earlier date than what is specified
in the lease.
Number 0136
CHAIRMAN KOTT noted there is a proposed committee substitute that
includes the lease dates. He informed the committee members that
the lease agreement extends up through March 2002. He said, "We
can't rename it until that point in time or the owners in the state
agree to an earlier change."
Number 0175
REPRESENTATIVE GAIL PHILLIPS asked who will be designated as the
entity or person in the state who would make that decision by the
year 2002, if the name isn't changed or if there is a problem. She
asked if the word "state" should be identified.
Number 0217
MARCO PIGNALBERI, Legislative Assistant to Representative John
Cowdery, Alaska State Legislature, came forward to testify. He
stated he has had discussions with Keith Gerkin and Dugan Petty of
the Division of General Services, Department of Administration.
That division would handle any lease changes or naming changes
subsequent to the lease.
Number 0251
REPRESENTATIVE PHILLIPS asked if that is standard procedure and it
doesn't need to be identified in the legislation.
Number 0262
MR. PIGNALBERI responded in the affirmative.
Number 0270
REPRESENTATIVE BRIAN PORTER said it is his understanding that if
there is an agreement to change the name before December 30, 2002,
that the only alternative they have is to name it the Robert B.
Atwood Building and not something else.
CHAIRMAN KOTT indicated there were no further questions or
witnesses to testify.
Number 0298
REPRESENTATIVE PORTER made the following motion: "I would move
that we move from committee -- adopt Version E, dated 1/23/98, and
having adopted that with the same vote, then move from committee CS
for HB 309 with individual recommendations."
Number 0318
CHAIRMAN KOTT explained there are two motions before the committee.
One is to adopt the committee substitute Version E. The second
motion is to move the bill from committee.
Number 0333
MR. PIGNALBERI indicated the correct version is Version B.
Number 0359
REPRESENTATIVE PORTER said, "I would amend my motion to Version B,
dated 1/26/98."
CHAIRMAN KOTT clarified the motion was to adopt Version B. Without
objection, Version B was before the committee.
CHAIRMAN KOTT explained the second motion is to move Version B from
committee with individual recommendations and with the accompanying
zero fiscal note. He asked if there was an objection. There being
none, CSHB 309(RLS) was moved out of the House Rules Standing
Committee.
