Joint Government Affairs/Strategic Planning Committees (Oris Friesen, Mike Keeling, Steve Peters, Kurt Jonckheer)
- Privatization
Mike Keeling reported that the Privatization RFP is still waiting to be reviewed by the Joint Committee on Capital Review (JCCR). Senator Dean Martin remains concerned about several items in the RFP.
- Legislative Activity Ð progress report
Mike reported that the ATIC Broadband Development Authority bill has been drafted and reviewed by the Legislative Council. It has accordingly been modified to be folded into the Greater Arizona Development Authority (GADA) within the Department of Commerce (DOC). We now need to attach this to some existing legislation, but first we need to get approval from the DOC, so we need to schedule a meeting with Gil Jimenez, the Director of DOC.
- Citizens Clean Election Commission (CCEC) debates
ATIC has been selected to conduct a Primary and General Election debate for the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) election on behalf of the Citizens Clean Election Commission (CCEC). The Board reaffirmed its commitment to proceed as planned. The signed contract will be submitted to the CCEC prior to the February 27 deadline. We will need to have the venue and major responsibilities in place by May 3, 2004.
