Egan for a select legislative committee to study the pipeline in depth. In the Senate journal supplement no. 6, March 3, 1971, the committee was appointed to work with existing state agencies and such other agencies the governor might request.

Committee members are: Senator Chancy Croft, Chairman Senator Clifford Groh Senator Willie Hensley Senator Lowell Thomas, Jr. Representative Mike Colletta Representative Marty Farrell Representative Andrew Harwick Representative Edward Naughton Because of the impact of the pipeline, the scope of the committee was broadly defined and asked to explore and report on the following: 1) The economic impact of the pipeline, prior to, during, and after construction, with particular attention to the effect on Alaska business, labor, government and our transportation and communication systems. 2) The environmental impact including Alaska's policy towards environmental protection and coordination with federal and local agencies. Particular emphasis should be given to the governmental structure designed to handle this area and any needed additional legislation. 3) Accruing state development including roads and highways, harbors and airfields. 4) Necessary governmental expansion including public facilities and governmental services such as schools, water and sewer systems, police protection, fish and game law enforcement, to mention a few. 5) State economic regulation of the pipeline generally and as it affects our royalty and severance tax income specifically, and control of potential abuses such as anti-trust restraint of trade and the inflationary aspects of construction. 6) Choices of action related to means of transporting oil and gas, their adv3ntages and disadvantages. 7) The legal aspects of the proposals and their relation to other state problems and activities. 8) Alaska's natural resource policy including description of existing and potential resources, possible future development and their relationship to the proposed pipeline. 9) Such other areas as designated by the presiding officers. ----------------------- Page 11----------------------- RECORDS OF THE JOINT PIPELINE IHPACT COHHITTEE 4 drawer legal size vertical file.

Planning Commision Mr. Harold Tobey, City Attorney, Anchorage Mr. V~rnon Wiggins, Div. of Planning, Gr. Anchorage Borough TESTIMONY OF MR. WILLIAM ' CURTIS, CITY MA NAGER - PALMER --introduces Messrs. Berrier, Christianson and Nordale who have worked for over six years on the bill. --many flaws in the old bills, Titles 29 & 30, that municipalities have lived with for years. Gives example of how Assessment Section did not work, which was changed by legislative action last year. --tried to make document a workable one, not burdening cities or boroughs; yet no substantive changes made in it. --have not tried to change concept of boroughs and cities. --Alaska Municipal League has agreed proposed bill is a good com- promise measure. --AML hopes that the hearings and action on bill will be held down to working on a good~ administrative code-don't want to get in- volved in changing basic city-borough concept. --turned meeting over to Bill Berrier who will show where appreciable changes have been made in the code-don't want to go item by item, just where appreciable changes have occurred. Sen. Rader noted that he did not want to see this just as a recodification of the law. He said that if the committee can help to ease friction between the city and the borough, he hopes that it will do so. TESTIMONY OF MR. BILL BERRIER, ATTORNEY, CITY & BOROUGH OF JUNEAU --an entire recodification of existing law, its arrangement differs, and its simplicity differs. --this change most significant of all-Chapter 8-Classification of Municipalities -under this bill only two classes of cities (1st & 2nd) -incorporated community of over 400 people are mandatorily made a 1st class city. ----------------------- Page 24----------------------- Senate-Hbuse Joint Hearing MU.nicipal Code 7:30 p.m. 2/22/71 Continuation of Mr. Berrier's testimony: --pulled Home Rule powers together into one section. --29.18.180, page 12 - change in transitional assistance --29.23.060, page 15 - smoothed out assembly procedures ~-29.23.170 & 29.23.270, ~gs. 22 & 24 - question of executive veto powers clarified. Mayor or Borough Chairman is given a line item veto over budget items. --29.23:310, page 26 - School Boards. Section is shortened as much is now contained in Title 14. Made no substantive changes ·but it appears so because of cross reference to Title 14. --29.28.130-250, pages 36-38. Recall. At a recall election, the successor to the recalled person does not run at the same election. -~29.33.030, page 39. Provision added that borough assembly also collects s aJes and use tax as well as property tax. --Under Planning and Zoning; the entire map and planning is new law. --29.33.250-290, pge 54. Additional areawide powers. Eliminates need to go to L09al Affairs Agency to add additional areawide powers. Clarifi~s ·how" 1st & 2nd class cities shall exercise powers transferred from the city. --29.38.010-050, page 55. Local Affairs Agency has been taken out "of picture" re the question of additional areawide powers. No longer submit to LAA.prior to ele6~ion. --29.48.030, page 57. More illustrative of entire form of bill than it is a chang~ in itsself. Currently powers of city are spelled out in detail.. This has been changed to a skeleton or "blueprint" in proposed AML bill. --29.48.040-100, pages 61-63. Essentially codifies existing law which is not statutory law. (discussion involving Berrier, Merdes & Rader whether there are grandfather rights re utilities, whether any attempt to change existing law.) -attention called to 29.48.100, page 64, re which provisions of law shall prevail in case of conflict. --29.48.050(c), page 61, repeats "essentially what was put into Title 29 by legislature last year. Is almost verbatim duplicate. --29.48.190, page 67, puts in a provision fixing the current fiscal year for all municipalities - uniform date of July 1st. Also changes method of passing ordinances. --29.48.270, page 70, gives emergency disaster powers to all munici- palities. --29.48.310-330", pages 70-71, new law. --29.53.090-180, pages 74-78, the omission is most appreciable change. Omits boat tax of from $5-$15, which means that boats will be taxed at full and true value. --29.53.240, page 80, does away with requirement that tax foreclosure· list must be filed on the same day that it is published. --29.53.360, page 84, Deed to boroughs and cities. Title to land within cities goes to cities; within boroughs goes to boroughs. (discussion involving Berrier, Rader re whether title should be held by borough). --Berrier calls attention to Section (c), page 84 which establishes priorities of public use. --29.53.385, page 85, if either municipality takes land for public use, must pay unpaid taxes an~ assessment to the other municipality. (discussion by Berrier & Merdes re possibility of recording deed within 2 years. Berrier has no objection.) ----------------------- Page 25----------------------- Page Three Senate-House Joint Hearing Municipal Code 7:30 p.m. 2/22/71 (Discussion involving Christiansen, Merdes, Rader re advisability of recording deed within 2 year period.) --29.53.410, page 86, Sales & Use Tax. Addition of power to levy a use tax for a general law municipality. (Clarificati6n of general law municipality to mean a home rule city) -~29.58.010-040, page 88, Tax Anticipation Notes is added as there is no general law authority to issue tax anticipation notes at present. --29.58.205, page 91, Provides that no election is required on revenue bonds is new language. - --Special assessments and servic~ areas all tied together into one special assessment procedure. --29.63.010, page 94, May assess state property for local improve- ment districts. - (Merdes says should seriously- consider assessing federal property also. Discussion follows re merits of assessing federal & state property .. involving Me~des, Rader, Sharp, ~nd Berry-who said that the impact of assessment on state budget a few years ago was only $5,000). -Berry agrees to get new figures and give to Machyowsky. (Further discussion regarding who votes for state when an agency votes on the petition process.--ASHA is doing it at this moment-Rader asks whether to clarify should designate Dept. of Adminstration to vote-discussion involves Sharp, Rader, Berry, Merdes. Attention called to page 94, lines 18-22.) --29.73.010, page 113, Actionable claims against a municipality- certain limitation on claims against the state wording taken and exemptions have been added. Berrier called it the LITTLE TORT CLAIMS ACT. (discussion follows involving Berrier, Rader, Machyowsky, and Rader re what has been included and/or excluded from 29.73.010~ Merdes says very substanti~e change and something to consider seriously with lots of back- up figures etc.) -Merdes asks that insurance ~carriers for cities and boroughs what insurance rate would be if bill passes with this section left in. Discussion followed regarding reclassification of· cities involving Rader & Berrier. Also dealt with school obligations ....would cities have to maintain.- their own schools (Kotzebue, Bethel) Rader suggests create 1 more class of city to take care of the school problem. TpnTTMONY-OF-MR. JAMES NORDALE, ATTORNEY - KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH --4th class cities, even though over 400 population are not auto- matically reclassified as 1st class- cities. 4th class cities beco~e 2nd class cities even if excess of 400 population. ----------------------- Page 26----------------------- Page Four Senate-House Joint Hearing Municipal Code 7:30 p.m. 2/22/71 --Local Boundary Commission is required to review classification or cities within 2 years and make recommendations to legislature. (Discussion followed re reclassification of cities involved Nordale, Merdes, Rader, Swanson, Moore and Machyowsky. Rep.-Moore asked to have explanation of bill, particularly interested in getting title to land; is pushing for 1st class city right now-must translate explanation into Eskimo for his people.) Sen Merdes said that he would like to see the testimony 'summarized; it might help to have a more lasting effect. Sen.'Merdes suggested that it might be in order to have a committee report spread on the Journal or in a Journal Supplement. Berrier said that he would help in summarizing testimony. Mr. Warren Christianson then testified re the full and true value taxation of boats. He said it'was a very minor part of the act, but one that the AML committee recognized would be very sensitive especially to Southeasterners. (Discussion followed re merit of full and true value taxation of boats-involved Christianson, Merdes, M. Miller, Machyowsky.', Question was asked what would happen if city did not have personal property tax now. - intention not to limit any local muni- cipality from giving exemption; altho assessor is still required to put 100% true value on it. Now are two methods to assess boat ... on weight or on value. If municipality wants to exempt, that is their prorogative. Any thought to put limit on true value??) Sen. Merdes suggested that all Southeasterners would want to make sure that thi~ option did exist. ' --29.53.020 does not list exemptions; thereby leaving option to cities to put in, ac~ording to Mr. Christianson. Sen. Merdes asked Mr. Machyowsky's opinion on whether, in fact, things can be exempted from taxation that are not written in the code. Mr. Machyowsky said that present law as far as general law-no~ home rule law- would require taxation of all real and personal property except that for which the re- quired exemption is in writing. He said that 29.53.0~0 confirms the present law. Sen. Merdes asked Mr. Machyowsky to'come up with-language to clarify this section, which would grant additional exemptions. All legislators present agree to make the language explicit. --Business Inventory tax, exemption and personal property exemptions were then discussed by M. Miller, Swanson, Rader, Moore, Bruce, Nordale, Sharp, Christianson. Nordale and Fairbanks group agree to clarify language re power of home rule cities and general law to exempt from taxation. --Question of Use Tax, pages 86 & 87, line 24 on down, was brought up. (Discussion involving, Rader, Merdes & Sharp re intent of this legislation) RECESS FROM 9:35 to 9:55 p.m. o ----------------------- Page 27----------------------- 1. ,; t :. :::. .:.L V t: ;~ (: I )aLe - IIc) l t : : I..; ,} 0 i n t }j (, ,~, I> J n IS fJiltnici.pal C()de '/:30 p.m. 2/22/71 --Christian:30n states after roce~JS that after conferences ;':ith. some of the member~·.i during the break, the AML fel tit would be VIell to point out that there are many areas of conflict tl~2.t have been intentionally avoided. One of these is the buildi~g code area. He said that this proposed bill is offered as a "platform on which to build". Didn't Vlant the bill not to pas s because of "hang UpSIl or conflicts re some parts. Asked to have different bills introduqed for controversial portions rather than lose whole municipal code bill, if feel controversial areas, please take out now. (Building Code 29.33.070-245) TESTIMONY OF MR. ROBERT SHARP, CITY MANAGER - ANCHORAGE --Didn't work on committee, but feels that they did good job with the instructions that they had. It accomplishes purpose; hope to see fit to enact this bill this session. --Anchorage did not agree with all of bill and will bring some of these areas to the committee's attention. --Anchorage was represented on the AML legislative committee and has agreed to support the Municipal Code. TESTIMONY OF MR. HANK OSTROSKY - NAKNEK --Have taxing problem in Bristol Bay with area of land that is classified as a federal reserve. Represents a third of the vote in the total borough. --Do not have planning & zoning, power of school or taxing over this area - generally, hard time getting any change through to change from 2nd to 1st class borough ... school bonds etc. --Want to know if some way that they can obtain jurisdiction over this area or else exclude them from elections. (discussion follows involving Machyowsky,- Ostrosky, Merdes, Rader re problem in Bristol Bay. Merdes requests that Sig Strandberg look into the matter) Rep.
