February 26, 2021 The Honorable Michael J. Dunleavy, Governor Members of the Legislature Citizens of the State of Alaska In accordance with Alaska Statute (AS) 37.05.210, it is our pleasure to present the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the State of Alaska for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. This report has been prepared by the Department of Administration, Division of Finance. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data, and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the State. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects and reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the State. Statistical and demographic information are included to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the State's financial activities. INTRODUCTION Internal Controls The Department of Administration, Division of Finance, is primarily responsible for the overall operation of the State’s central accounting system. The State's system of internal controls over the accounting system has been designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Some component units operate outside the State’s central accounting system. Those component units are responsible for establishing and maintaining their own separate internal control structures. Audits The Division of Legislative Audit is the principal auditor of the State’s reporting entity. The audit of the CAFR was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS). The independent auditor’s report is the first item in the financial section of the CAFR and precedes the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and basic financial statements. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the State for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, are free of material misstatement. The audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence i The Honorable Michael J. Dunleavy, Governor February 26, 2021 Members of the Legislature Citizens of the State of Alaska supporting the amounts and disclosures in the CAFR, assessing the accounting principles used, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. In addition to the annual audit of the State’s CAFR, the State is required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s Uniform Grant Guidance 2 CFR Part 200. Information related to this single audit, including a schedule of expenditures of federal awards, the auditor’s reports on internal controls and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and a schedule of findings and questioned costs will be published at a later date under separate cover by the Division of Legislative Audit. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34 requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the State’s financial activities. This transmittal letter is intended to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditor’s report. PROFILE OF THE STATE OF ALASKA The State of Alaska was the 49th state admitted into the Union in 1959. The Alaska Constitution was adopted by the Constitutional Convention February 5, 1956, ratified by the people of Alaska April 24, 1956, and became operative with the formal proclamation of statehood January 3, 1959. There are three branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. The legislative power of the State is vested in a legislature consisting of a Senate with a membership of 20 and a House of Representatives with a membership of 40. The executive power of the State is vested in the governor. The judicial power of the State is vested in a supreme court, a superior court, and the courts established by the legislature. The jurisdiction of courts and judicial districts are prescribed by law. The courts constitute a unified judicial system for operation and administration.

    ALASKA STATE LEGISLATURE May 1, 2020 Dear Governor Dunleavy, As epidemiologists and researchers learn more about the novel coronavirus, there is a growing body of evidence indicating the use of simple cloth face coverings can reduce transmission of COVID-19 when infected persons may be experiencing asymptomatic shedding of the virus. This means wearing face coverings can help to reduce spread in places experiencing active community-based transmission or where social distancing may be hard to maintain (like the grocery store, post office and other places of business). As your administration lays out plans to reopen Alaska, we urge you to issue an additional COVID-19 Health Mandate requiring Alaskans to wear face coverings in public, including both essential and non- essential businesses. We share the hope that our economy will be limitedly impacted by the necessary protective measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and protect the lives of Alaskans, but we must proceed with great caution to reduce the danger of a significant second wave of infection as we attempt to return to a new normal. Wearing face coverings in public is a simple and highly effective measure we should all practice to protect one another, but the most effective way we can achieve this compliance will be through your leadership and guidance by issuing an additional health mandate. Thank you for your consideration, Sincerely, Representative Tiffany Zulkosky Representative Harriet Drummond Representative Matt Claman Representative Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins Representative Zach Fields Representative Geran Tarr Representative Andi Story CC: Commissioner Adam Crum, Department of Health and Social Services Dr.

    ALASKA STATE LEGISLATURE WHILE IN SESSION WHILE IN ANCHORAGE STATE CAPITOL 1500 W BENSON BLVD JUNEAU, AK 99801 ANCHORAGE, AK 99503 (907) 465-3704 (907) 269-0169 May 5, 2020 Mayor Ethan Berkowitz 632 W 6th Avenue Suite 840 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Dear Mayor Berkowitz, Thank you for your leadership during this challenging and unprecedented time. We appreciate your frequent briefings and inclusion of medical professionals, business leaders, and neighbors. We are writing today with deep concern regarding early distribution of the CARES Act funds that did not make it to many small businesses in Anchorage. As of April 16, over 5,000 Alaskan businesses have received emergency relief loan funds through the Federal CARES Act. However, during a recent discussion with Anchorage Community Land Trust (ACLT), we learned that a substantial number of businesses located in Anchorage’s economic opportunity zones have not been able to access those loans. According to a survey conducted by ACLT, many small businesses located in these economic opportunity zones are experiencing significant barriers in qualifying or applying for these federal loans. As the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loans were specifically created to retain employees, small businesses with less than 50 employees that do not have sophisticated relationships with large financial institutions, a robust bookkeeping system, are seasonal, or are recent start-ups are left unable to access these loans. The net result of the above barriers means many small businesses located in Anchorage’s economic opportunity zones, specifically those that are minority and women-owned, are unable to access the financial resources needed to sustain their operations during the COVID-19 related mandatory closures.

  • House Passes Supplemental Budget, After Serious Disruption One Lawmaker Held up Business for Over an Hour
    News Sports Neighbors Capital City Weekly Alaska Outdoors Opinion Letters Obituaries House speaker Bryce Edgmon, I-Dillingham, left, speaks with Rep. David Eastman, R-Wasilla, during the House floor session on Wednesday, Feb. 26. 2020. (Peter Segall | Juneau Empire) House passes supplemental budget, after serious disruption One lawmaker held up business for over an hour By Peter Segall Wednesday, February 26, 2020 5:36pm ❙ NEWS STATE & LEGISLATURE The Alaska House of Representatives nearly unanimously passed the supplemental budget introduced by Gov. Mike Dunleavy earlier this month. Members of the House added no amendments to the governor’s budget, and representatives from both parties commended the governor in his choice of appropriations. / But Wednesday oor session was signicantly disrupted by Rep. David Eastman, R-Wasilla, who was nearly ejected from the chamber. Eastman’s rst disruption came when he introduced an amendment that would have removed $5,000 meant to go to a court settlement with Planned Parenthood. Eastman objected on the ground the money was meant to go to an organization that provided abortions, but many of his colleagues noted the state had lost a case in court and was simply following the law. “This has absolutely nothing to do with where you fall on this issue,” said Rep. Lance Pruitt, R-Anchorage. “Just because we are the state and we do not like it, doesn’t not mean we cannot pay it.” House Speaker Bryce Edgmon, I-Dillingham, admonished Eastman several times for veering o topic as Eastman began to discuss abortion rather than the specic appropriations within the bill.

However, HB 159 and SB 116 contain provisions that could hinder Alaskans’ access to valuable ad-supported online resources, impede their ability to exercise choice in the marketplace, and harm businesses of all sizes that support the economy. To help ensure Alaskan businesses can continue to thrive and Alaskan consumers can continue to reap the benefits of a robust ad-supported online ecosystem and exercise choice in the marketplace, we recommend that the legislature undertake a study of available approaches to regulating data privacy before moving forward with enacting the onerous, and in some cases, outdated provisions set forth in these bills.

Toward that end, the Center has authored and distributed to all legislative candidates our 2020 Corrupt Practices in the Alaska Legislature Candidate Survey. Surveys were sent to all candidates by electronic mail on August 4, 2020. The Center welcomed suggestions for this year's survey from our supporters and donors. The ten topics that were finally chosen for this year's candidate survey highlight several issues of concern that Alaska legislators have faced in recent years and that are likely to resurface in the future. By raising these issues now, we hope to prepare both voters and future legislators to understand and form an opinion about them before being faced with a decision on whether to maintain the status quo within the legislature or chart a new and better course. As of this writing, a number of candidates have yet to review their survey and submit their responses on these very important issues. If your candidate has not yet done so, please encourage them to complete their survey
