CALL TO ORDER    CHAIR HANNAN called the Legislative Council meeting to  order at 2:24PM in the House Finance Committee Room.  Present at the call were: Representatives Edgmon, Foster,  Hannan, Stutes, Tilton, Tuck; Senators Bishop, Reinbold,  Stedman, Stevens.    Members absent: Representative Claman; Senators Hoffman,  Hughes, Micciche, and Shower.    Ten members present.    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.      VII. ADJOURN    CHAIR HANNAN said there was nothing further on the agenda  and adjourned.    3:34:54 PM
