3:32:16 PM

REPRESENTATIVE NEAL FOSTER, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau,
Alaska, sponsor of HB 209, introduced himself.
3:34:45 PM
PAUL LABOLLE, Staff, Representative Foster, Alaska State
Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, set forth that HB 209 would
establish a water and sewer advisory committee. He said the
bill's general purpose was to find better ways of doing water
and sewer projects, look at new technologies, and address how to
better coordinate with federal agencies. He added that federal
funding parameters for new technologies would also be taken into
consideration by the advisory committee. He pointed out that the
bill had a zero-fiscal note because the advisory committee would
not have a travel budget and per diem for members.
REPRESENTATIVE FOSTER added that a report from the advisory
committee would be due on December 1, 2017.
3:35:55 PM
CHAIR BISHOP opened public testimony. He announced that seeing

the committee probably would not be meeting for the remainder of
the legislative session. He said the Senate Community and
Regional Affairs Committee was his first full chairmanship. He
set forth that the committee's members made up an all-star cast
that had drawn upon their tremendous amount of experience. He
expressed that his hope was the same members could serve on the
committee during the next session. He thanked committee aides
and staff members for their service as well.
3:38:54 PM
There being no further business to come before the committee,
