IV. OTHER COMMITTEE BUSINESS
a. FY19 Proposed Budget
CHAIR KITO, with apologies for the delay, announced that
Legislative Council had selected Jessica Geary as the new
Executive Director for the Legislative Affairs Agency.
a. FY19 Proposed Budget
CHAIR KITO noted for members that the FY19 Proposed Budget
had already been transmitted to the House Finance Committee
and wanted to make it official with Council. He stated for
the record that Council had completed an action in November
2017 and his goal was to make sure that the action was
consistent with what he understood as far as the budget
moving forward, and that the full Finance Committee had the
opportunity to review some of the changes that might need
to take place because of the action taken by Council in
November. He said he would be making a brief statement to
the House Finance Subcommittee later today. He then asked
for a motion.
12:41:17 PM
VICE CHAIR STEDMAN moved that Legislative Council per AS
24.20.130 approve the FY19 Legislative Council Proposed
Budget and transmit to the House and Senate Finance
Committees for their review and action.
SENATOR MICCICHE objected to the motion to clarify that his
vote today was to move the budget to the respective
subcommittees for review and was not approval of the budget
as transmitted. Chair Kito confirmed that was the case for
all Council members a vote was not an approval of the
budget but rather to move the budget forward in the
process. Senator Micciche removed his objection.
The motion passed without objection.
There being no further business before the committee,
Legislative Council adjourned at 12:42 p.m.
12:42:20 PM
