I, Frank H. Murkowski, Governor of the State of Alaska, under the authority of art. III, secs. 1 and 24, of the Alaska Constitution, and under the authority of AS 44.19.028, reestablish a temporary interim advisory board as follows:
Background
On January 15, 2003, I signed Administrative Order No. 204 creating the temporary interim Marine Transportation Advisory Board and making other organizational changes in the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. On January 22, 2003, I signed Administrative Order No. 206 amending Administrative Order No. 204 to, in part, increase the membership of the Marine Transportation Advisory Board from nine to eleven members, provide for the appointment of the chair of the Marine Transportation Advisory Board, and make other miscellaneous amendments to the provisions of that Order. On May 1, 2003, I signed Administrative Order No. 209 amending Administrative Order No. 206 to, in part, further increase the membership of the Marine Transportation Advisory Board from 11 to 12 members.
The purpose of this Order is to reestablish and continue the Marine Transportation Advisory Board as constituted by Administrative Order Nos. 204, 206, and 209.
Marine Transportation Advisory Board
It is in the best interests of the people of Alaska, and necessary for efficient administration, that the Marine Transportation Advisory Board, as established by Administrative Order No. 204, as amended by Administrative Order Nos. 206 and 209, be reestablished and continued in order that it may continue to provide recommendations to the commissioner of transportation and public facilities on public policy related to that department’s exercise of the marine transportation functions assigned by law.
Therefore, the temporary interim Marine Transportation Advisory Board established by Administrative Order No. 204, as amended by Administrative Order Nos. 206 and 209, is hereby reestablished and continued. Those serving on the Marine Transportation Advisory Board on May 11, 2004, will continue to serve on the reestablished board.
The provisions of Administrative Order No. 204, as amended by Administrative Order Nos. 206 and 209, applicable to the Marine Transportation Advisory Board established by those Orders are applicable to the Marine Transportation Advisory Board as reestablished by this Order.
This Order takes effect immediately.
DATED at Juneau, Alaska, this 25th day of August, 2004.
/s/Frank H. Murkowski
Governor
