Alsworth, Sr., Mayor Myra J. Olsen, Deputy Mayor Randy Alvarez, Assembly Member Scott Anderson, Assembly Member Alvin Pedersen, Assembly Member Michelle Pope-Ravenmoon, Assembly Member Christina Salmon-Bringhurst, Assembly Member STAFF PRESENT: Nathan Hill, Borough Manager Kate Conley, Borough Clerk Mark Stahl, Finance Officer Danica Wilson, Community Development Coordinator GUESTS PRESENT Chuck McCallum, Fishery Advisor Bob Loeffler, Jade North, LLC 3 APPROVAL OF AGENDA Motion was made by Assembly member Alvarez to approve the agenda as presented. Motion was seconded by Assembly member Pedersen. There were no changes proposed. Motion passed unanimously by voice vote. 4 ADOPTION OF MINUTES Motion was made by Assembly member Pedersen to adopt the minutes of November 14, 2019 and January 21, 2020. Motion was seconded by Assembly member Alvarez. The Mayor called for changes or corrections. It was noted that the January 21 minutes, page 4, item 7d, Letter of Support to Denali - "Letter & Obligate" should say does not; and page 3 under finance, item G – should say PILD and PILT. Motion passed unanimously by voice vote Page 5 of 188 Regular Assembly Meeting February 18, 2020 with scrivener’s errors noted. 5 MANAGER'S & STAFF REPORTS a) Introduction of Guests – no guests were present. b) Manager's Report Mr. Nathan Hill presented a written report. In addition to the written report, he asked the Assembly for permission to continue working on law enforcement in the villages and on the escapement and regulation changes on the Kvichak. The Assembly did not have any objection to Mr. Hill’s suggestions. c) Consultant's Report Cotten - no questions Hirsch - no questions Loeffler – Mr. Bob Loeffler told the Assembly the Army Corps of Engineers has been working on a draft of the final EIS for cooperating agencies. Comments are due in 6 weeks. Mr. Loeffler has been working with Assembly members Ravenmoon and Salmon, and with Nathan Hill to identify cultural resources at the Amakdedori site. Assembly member Salmon said that the Igiugig Village Council had a good meeting with the Corps of Engineers about the Amakdedori site. She asked about an item on page 74 of the executive summary that says the Igiugig hydro will cause a cumulative effect on development. Mr. Loeffler said this could just be a catalog of unrelated projects. Mayor Alsworth said it may be that, because the hydro project is present before the Pebble site development, it be something Pebble is required to consider into the cumulative effect. Mr. Loeffler said he will get a better definition and pass along the information. A final EIS will likely be issued by the Army Corps by the first of summer. In the fall, they will rule on the wetlands permit, which is the only permit of consequence. No State permits have been requested by Pebble. d) Community Development Coordinator's Report Ms. Danica Wilson presented a written report. She highlighted the flooding in Newhalen and said there is not an emergency response procedure in the code. This needs to be discussed and developed in the future. Mayor Alsworth asked to see what other Boroughs have in their code. Assembly member Alvarez said to put it on the future agenda. e) Planning Commission Minutes - none f) Fisheries Report Mr. Chuck McCallum had presented a written report. He noted there is an upcoming Board of Fish meeting on March 8. Three proposals have been submitted from residents. One is about crab limits in Chignik, the other two are about Bristol Bay fishing areas. Mr. McCallum said he will 2 OF 5 Page 6 of 188 Regular Assembly Meeting February 18, 2020 attend the Board meetings. Assembly member Alvarez said he attended the Fish and Game advisory meeting last week where they discussed the Bristol Bay fishing proposals. The proposals are about using two hundred fathom nets and two permits in one boat. The proposal would allow use in Nushagak & Ugashik, but not Aleknagik or Naknek. g) Finance Report Mr. Mark Stahl presented a written report. He noted revenue is 120% of budget. This will help to offset the bond debt reimbursement the State is not paying this year. PILT, PILD, and raw fish tax bonuses will still come in later this year. The Borough may hit $3 million revenue on raw fish tax this year. Assembly expenses are at 75% of budget. and administration costs will come in under budget. Assembly member Alvarez asked about federal PILT payments. Mark explained it is from the Fed Govt for the park lands. PILT payments were $301,000 last year. Assembly member Ravenmoon said she had a lot of complaints last year about reporting and paying taxes online. Mr. Stahl said the form has been changed, but the finance department is looking at revamping the entire form. h) Lobbyist Report Assembly member Olsen said she is concerned about bills the Governor has introduced. She asked if the Borough would comment on any of the proposals. The Mayor said the Alaska Municipal League is on top of a lot of this. They provide information on upcoming hearings. Mr. Hill said that our lobbyist, Mark Hickey is keeping him apprised. i) Clerk's Report Ms. Kate Conley submitted a written report. She emphasized the importance of getting financial disclosure statements to APOC by March 15th. She also asked the Assembly to take a survey about the website. j) Superintendent's Report Mr. Ty Mase submitted a written report.

  • 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.

  • Letter from Anchorage Assembly Members Urging the Alaska Legislature to Change State Law to Allow Judges to Consider Out-Of-State Convictions in Setting Bail
    DRAFT LETTER FROM ANCHORAGE ASSEMBLY MEMBERS URGING THE ALASKA LEGISLATURE TO CHANGE STATE LAW TO ALLOW JUDGES TO CONSIDER OUT-OF-STATE CONVICTIONS IN SETTING BAIL March 14, 2018 HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE Rep. Matt Claman, Chair Sen. John Coghill, Chair Rep. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, Vice-Chair Sen. Mia Costello Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux Sen. Pete Kelly Rep. David Eastman Sen. Bill Wielechowski Rep. Chuck Kopp Sen. Click Bishop Rep. Lora Reinbold Rep. Charisse Millett Rep. Louise Stutes Rep. Tiffany Zulkosky Dear Chair Claman, Chair Coghill and Judiciary Committee Members, Thank you for your service. We write today urging you to promptly hold committee hearings on and advance HB295/SB150 for floor action. These bills were introduced at the start of the Legislative session and have sat in your respective Judiciary Committees for 54 days of a 90-day session without a hearing or any other action. If you do not take action, dangerous criminals will continue to be released into our communities to threaten the public and commit more crimes. Prior to passage of SB91, judges in Alaska used their discretion to assign bail, considering all factors relevant to protecting the public and assuring appearance at future criminal proceedings. SB91 created the mandatory Alaska 2 Scale (AK-2S) to determine bail for persons charged with crimes. AK-2S went into effect in January of this year. It soon became clear that there were serious problems. Specifically, the new bail system does not allow judges to consider out-of-state convictions. Passage of these bills would close this loophole.

    Center for Caucus Reform and Legislative Accountability 2020 Candidate Positions on Corrupt Practices in the Alaska Legislature /akleads /akleads akleadership.com/survey /akleads /akleads akleadership.com/survey 2020 Candidate Positions on Corrupt Practices in the Alaska Legislature LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN Dear Fellow Conservative, Alaska Conservative Leadership's Center for Caucus Reform and Legislative Accountability is committed to helping Alaska's legislators pursue and develop a culture of legislative accountability that preserves the public trust. 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

  • Support for CSHB 41
    To: Representative Dan Ortiz [email protected] RE: Support for CSHB 41 Dear Representative Ortiz, April 17, 2020 On behalf of the Alaska Mariculture Task Force (Task Force), I would like to express strong support for the Senate Finance Committee Substitute version of HB 41, which would accomplish several priority recommendations of the Task Force, as a part of a larger plan to fully develop the mariculture industry in Alaska, with a goal to grow a $100 million per year industry in 20 years. The Task Force members recognize the difficult circumstances that cut short legislative action on CSHB 41. However, it was still a great disappointment to be dead in the water although the bill was in its last committee of referral after efforts by industry, successive administrations and the Legislature for five years to pass this important enabling legislation. The Task Force believes that growth of the mariculture industry can play an important role in Alaska’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 disaster; however, passage of CSHB 41 is central to fully enabling that economic potential. If there is a chance for the Legislature to come back into session, please consider passage of this bill as a priority. In 2016, Governor Walker established and appointed members to the Task Force by Administrative Order No.280, with the directive to provide recommendations to develop a viable and sustainable mariculture industry. In 2018, the Task Force completed a statewide comprehensive plan in order to accelerate the development of mariculture - the Alaska Mariculture Development Plan (attached is a brief summary of the full Plan).

  • March 13, 2017 the Honorable Jonathan Kreiss
    March 13, 2017 The Honorable Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, Chair The Honorable Gabrielle LeDoux, Vice Chair House State Affairs Committee Alaska State House of Representatives State Capitol Juneau, AK 99801 Sent by email: [email protected] [email protected] Re: ACLU Analysis of HB 74, Concerning the Federal REAL ID Act Dear Chair Kreiss-Tomkins and Vice Chair LeDoux: Thank you for the opportunity to testify about House Bill 74, which would create a new system in Alaska for issuing driver’s licenses and identity cards. The American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska appreciates the committee’s hearing our concerns and considering the recommendations we set out below. Governor Walker has introduced HB 74 in response to the demands of the Federal REAL ID Act of 2005.1 Under REAL ID, a person who wishes to use a state-issued driver’s license or identity card to enter a federal facility or to pass through a federally controlled checkpoint—for example, to enter a military base or to board a plane—will only be able to use a license or card that complies with the standards of REAL ID (a “compliant” card). Alternatively, a person without a compliant state-issued license or card could use a federally-issued form of identification, such as a U.S. passport or military identification card. Unfortunately for Alaskans who hold their privacy dear, the REAL ID standards include sharing information about license and card holders in an unprecedented, multi-state database that will contain information about virtually every driver’s license and identity card holder in the United States.

    Bradners’ laska Legislative Digest A- Commentary on Alaska issues and policy PUBLISHERS: Mike Bradner, Tim Bradner / Business Office: (907) 440-6068 / 3037 South Circle Anchorage, AK 99507 / Fax: (907) 345-5683 Digest No. 1/2021 Jan. 22, 2021 Senate: Seasoned hands at the helm The state House, split 20-20, has yet to organize but the Senate organized itself quickly and smoothly last week, dispelling fears that differences among the 13 Republicans would cause delays. Senate leaders include experienced hands Sens. Peter Micciche, R-Kenai, as President; Bert Stedman, R-Sitka and Click Bishop, R-Fairbanks, as Finance Committee cochairs, and Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, as Rules chair. Sen. Shelley Hughes, R-Mat-Su, is Majority Leader. Senate organizers threw the hard-right crowd a bone by giving Sen. Lora Reinbold, R-Eagle River, chair of the Judiciary Committee. There are seven Senate Democrats. As expected, Sen. Lyman Hoffman, D-Bethel, joined the Senate Majority, as he has in the past. Rural lawmakers representing large districts must be pragmatic and often set aside partisan affiliations to represent constituents. The Senate’s new leaders, all experienced, also know it is better to have the canny Hoffman inside the tent than outside. Fears of control by Mat-Su, governor averted There were fears initially that the Senate would wind up being controlled this year by hard conservative senators from the MatSu with Gov. Mike Dunleavy pulling strings behind the scenes. In that scenario, the key issue would have been the governor’s push for large Permanent Fund dividends, which most senators feel can’t be afforded.
