EXECUTIVE SESSION
SPEAKER REGISTER
9:50:37 AM
I. CHAIR SAM KITO called the Legislative Council meeting to
order at 9:50 a.m. in Room 519 (House Finance) of the State
Capitol. Present at the call were Representatives
Guttenberg, Stutes, and Kito; Senators Giessel, Kelly,
MacKinnon, Micciche, and Stedman. Present on teleconference
were Representatives Claman, Edgmon, Ortiz; Senator
Coghill. Representatives Millet, Drummond (alternate);
Senators Hoffman and Costello (alternate) were absent.
Representative Eastman (alternate) joined during the
executive session.
II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
CHAIR KITO said that added to the revised agenda was a
small change to the Records Policy that had previously been
discussed by this Council. Once that item was complete,
Council would go into executive session to conduct
interviews for the Legislative Affairs Agency executive
director position and then would adjourn. He asked for a
motion to approve the agenda.
9:52:50 AM
VICE CHAIR STEDMAN moved that Legislative Council approve
the agenda as presented.
The motion passed without objection.
III. OTHER COMMITTEE BUSINESS
a. Records Policy
CHAIR KITO said that at the last meeting, Council had
temporarily authorized the Human Resources Manager to view
video footage in accordance with the Records Policy. The
Human Resources Manager was not explicitly identified, and
the committee agreed that, at least until the next meeting,
the Human Resources Manager would be allowed to have access
while conducting an investigation. The proposal before
Members today is a slight re-wording of that portion of the
policy, which states that the Human Resources Manager has
the authority, in the conduct of a personnel investigation
to view video footage. This would be a permanent part of
the Records Policy, so that it would not come before
Council again.
9:54:17 AM
VICE CHAIR STEDMAN moved that Legislative Council add the
following language to the Records Policy (Section IV.
Security Camera Policy, 2. Confidentiality of Materials.):
and, (4) use by the Human Resources Manager employed by
the Legislative Affairs Agency in the course of a personnel
investigation.
SENATOR MACKINNON said that Council was in the course of
looking at policies and there was a proposal to have a
third-party investigator in the course of that
conversation. She said she had not objections to adopting
this change as it goes forward, but should that policy be
adopted by Legislative Council, this particular line may be
amended to include a third-party investigator.
CHAIR KITO said that Legislative Council will be looking at
that issue when the rest of the Records Policy is brought
before the committee and will make sure that whoever needs
access will have access appropriately.
The motion passed without objection.
IV. EXECUTIVE SESSION
a. Executive Director Applicant Interviews
9:56:01 AM
VICE CHAIR STEDMAN moved that Legislative Council go into
executive session under Uniform Rule 22(b)(2) and (3) for a
personnel matter to conduct interviews for the executive
director position. Crystal Koeneman, David Scott, and any
Legislators not on Council are welcome to stay in the room.
The motion passed without objection.
Legislative Council went into executive session.
12:52:57 PM
Council came out of executive session.
NOTE: the audio cut out during the Chair's calling Council
back to order.
VICE CHAIR STEDMAN moved that Council move forward with the
number one selection for the Legislative Affairs Agency
director. Chair Kito clarified that Council is voting to
direct the Human Resources Manager to make an offer to the
number one selected candidate.
A roll call vote was taken.
YEAS: Claman, Edgmon, Guttenberg, Ortiz, Stutes, Eastman
(minority alternate), Coghill, Giessel, Kelly,
MacKinnon, Micciche, Stedman, Kito
NAYS: None
The motion passed 13-0.
CHAIR KITO said they would be coming back with a formal
announcement at the next Legislative Council meeting,
currently scheduled for Monday, February 5, 2018.
Chair Kito noted for the record that Representative Seaton
and Senator Egan both were present for the executive
session.
Chair Kito went on to say that Council appreciated everyone
who applied for the position and everyone that interviewed.
He thanked everyone for their participation and for taking
time on a Saturday to attend the meeting.
There being no further business before the committee,
Legislative Council adjourned at 12:55 p.m.
