II. SUMMARY OF TESTIMONY & DISCUSSION Senator Mufi.a Barnes Next on the agenda is Bill No. 521-31 (COR) An Act to Add a New §40135.1 to Chapter 40, Title 5 Guam Code Annotated Relative to Creating the Mayors' Council of Guam Revolving Fund. The intent of this bill ladies and gentlemen is to established a Revolving Fund under the control and custody of the Mayors' Council of Guam. The bill authorizes the Mayors' Council of Guam to raise funds through fundraising efforts as approved by the Council, solicit corporate sponsorship, and to accept contributions that are solely beneficial to the Mayors' Council of Guam, and shall be used to fund Mayors' Council of Guam sanctioned programs, projects and special events. I will note for the record that a lot of the Mayors do have that special fund within their villages, but

as well know, the Mayors' Council of Guam comprises of the officers, the President, Vice President, the Secretary and the Treasurer. So that would be for the Mayors' Council of Guam and their sanctioned programs which does differ from the village Mayors. So on that list for 521-31 we do have Mr. Angel Sablan who signed up and the Vice President, Mayor Hofmann and Mayor Gumataotao. We'll go ahead and start with the Vice President.

Vice Mayor Robert Hofmann The intent and we appreciate you again for helping introducing this. The intent and idea around this is that the Mayors' looks to host intramural sports this is the ability for corporations to do this. Although it seems that it is in the same for the inauguration side, the inauguration has to be specific because it's located in a specific side of the chapter about the term and the ceremony of office. This specifically handles what we do with sports wise, what we do with donations if we're doing any kind of relief funds or anything that we're going to do together as we go out and make drives. A lot of it are for our programs with our man amko, our youth, so this helps us establish that fund. Thank you.

Senator Muna Barnes Thank you. Mayor Gumataotao.

Mayor Ben Gumataotao I support this bill because with all this activity that we have in our villages, like even for Thanksgiving, I would like to give food to the people that are very low income or don't have income at all for that matter. So I normally solicit to my other businesses around the area. So if you allow that and as long as we have the accountability, it would be nice to allow us to do that. Thank you.

Senator Muna Barnes Thank you Mayor Gumataotao. Mr. Sabalan.

Angel Sablan, MCOG Executive Director Thank you Senator. As you stated correctly, each of the 19 villages have the authority to establish their own Municipal Council revolving fund. We do have a Mayors' Council Revolving Fund, as you know you appropriated funds to our Mayors' Council Revolving Fund for the grass cutting at the schools. So it is already established, we're only doing this to again codify it because one of the points that the OP A brought up was that there was nothing in statute to allow us to as a Council by itself to establish this

fund. We've been audited now two years in a row for these funds that we put in here, the dues that each of the Mayors and Vice Mayors take out of their own paychecks every two weeks. The proceeds that we get from the Liberation funds and we also put money there from the grants we are now getting from the Department of Interior, so it is a fund that is existing but to codify would only give the opportunity to tell the OP A that yes, we are allowed by law to have these funds and to have the Treasurer and the President and whoever the signatories are. And it tells you what is going to happen with the fund, but thaes the way I feel we've been operating without it being law, so we're just asking that it be codified. For us it's a non-controversial bill and it does not require any money except the time we take here to have this public hearing. We again appreciate your support for this bill. Thank you.

Senator Muna Barnes Thank you very much. Mayor Savares.

Mayor Savares I just want to clarify this is just to codify the fund. However, we just want to make sure that there are approved minutes for all approved expenditures, except for the grass­cutting invoices that come in from the schools. Any other funding in the fund should have minutes to support the expenditure. Thank you.

Senator Muna Barnes Thank you very much Mayor.

Vice Mayor Robert Hofmann Just a final comment, because it's a fund that's probably listed on the government books, can we make sure that it's not transferrable and that no one can touch it. The balances that in there are generated by the Mayors and is available to the Mayors, and we don't want anyone to look and say look the Mayors have $200,000 let's use this and redirect it. So if it can be protected it, we would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Senator Mufi.a Barnes Thank you Mayor Hofmann. We'll go ahead and make that notation and amend the bill. With that being said, do any of my colleagues have any questions? Senator Ada.

of The Legislative Secretary Tina Rose rvtuiia Barnes

On page 2 line 13, (d) the Treasurer or the Council's designee ... is there a reason why you have that in there? Council's designee, I thought the Treasurer is just a Treasurer ... no one else should be able to ...

Angel Sablan, MCOG Executive Director The Treasurer is also a Mayor, and sometimes they are overwhelmed with the work they do in their own villages. And this is just receive reports, to receive receipts or whatever, or to make out receipts. So we do use people within our office to that and then give it to the Treasurer when he or she is available. It's just so that the Treasurer doesn't have to drive from where he's at down to the Mayors' Council of Guam to be able to do these documentations on a daily basis, so we do that in our office ... as an agent of our Treasurer.

Senator Muna Barnes Thank you very much. Senator Respicio.

Senator Respicio Thank you very much Madam Chair. Good morning Mayors and Vice Mayors. I want to recognize your oversight Chair for this bill and a series of bills that we're having a hearing on this morning. I want to speak about what Mayor Hofmann said about not having this comingled. My suggestion is that if we're going to do this bill, we should just authorize you to have a separate checking account. Not only separate and apart from the general fund, actually apart from the General Fund... and I make that point very clear because when this legislature established the recycling revolving fund and you're supposed to be able to tap that as your resources and to a certain extent you have. But you're always having to deal with the will of bureaucracy. I want to ask a couple of things and we have a good opportunity here to set something up that's going to be good for the Mayors' Council. Is this where the Liberation proceeds go?

Angel Sablan, MCOG Executive Director Presently, yes.

Senator Respicio Yes ... so if you're amenable Madam Chair, we should just codify that and say this is where the Liberation Day proceeds go because your Chair, when she moved to amend the distribution of those proceeds, you know you get a percentage, the First Lady gets a percentage that would be my second suggestion. My first of course would be that you

open you own checking account. And we've done that for the farmers group. They get an appropriation from the General Fund they get their money up front about $100,000 and then they go to the bank and deposit it there.

Angel Sablan, MCOG Executive Director We have actually set-up a separate checking account simply because we had to take the check from DOA from the grass-cutting and deposit that into the revolving fund. So we have actually already established that.

Senator Respicio This is going to set you back if it were adopted this way. Whatever your efforts were, were outside what the law authorized you and I commend you for moving forward ... sometimes you just have to do it anyway. If the bill was to pass as is, it's going to set you guys back and I know that's not the intent of the author. And someone at the Executive branch is going to read this and maybe even the Attorney General and not a Public Auditor might say that you're not authorized to have your own checking account outside the General Fund. The other thing is like what the Mayor of Piti said, if he solicits money for Piti, those funds should be available for Piti. Do you think then that this Revolving Fund will have 19 accounts under it? Or one account but a balance sheet for each village? Is that how you do it now?

Angel Sablan, MCOG Executive Director Well it shouldn't happen that way Senator because each village has its own Municipal Council Revolving Fund. So if Mayor Gumataotao solicits and the donor says it's for Piti then it would go to the Piti Municipal Council Revolving Fund. It wouldn't go the Mayors' Council Revolving Fund.

Senator Respicio Is there a law that recognizes that?

Angel Sablan, MCOG Executive Director Yes. It is codified right now that each village has the authority to establish their own checking account. It's also called non-appropriated funds for each village.

Senator Respicio So you've been depositing your money into the Mayors' Council revolving fund?

Angel Sablan, MCOG Executive Director Only his $25 dues every 2 weeks.

Mayor Gumataotao When I solicit from a company and I'm given $500, I deposit into my own Municipal Planning Council's account. Then whenever we want to spend that money, we call a meeting of the Council to get authorization to use the money. Then the auditor would come in once a year or whatever and audit that. That's the most important part to make sure that accountability is there.

Senator Muna Barnes It was also recommended by the public auditor that these things be codified because it was noted as one of the demerits or concerns that she had. So we're just fixing it. Any other questions?

Senator Respicio Anything else you can think of to make this bill reflect what you practice today? That's all I have.

Senator Muna Barnes Thank you Senator Respicio. I do want to say that it is very important that those amendments would be in accordingly. And Senator Respicio you are right, we want to make sure that the Mayors not just get this legislation codified, at the recommendation of the auditor, but to make sure that their hands are free to utilize the funds as what was requested for, and make sure that they have that authority. Thank you very much for your support in that effort.

Senator Respicio And the last thing you ever have to worry about is having to wait for someone say that it's okay to use the money that you raised. So this bill would make that true separation and empower you the way that this committee has committed to.

Senator Muna Barnes Thank you. If there are no other questions on Bill 521-31 (COR), I will call this Bill No. publicly heard. Anyone else wishing to present written testimony, they can do so by sending it to 155 Hesler Place, Hagatfia Guam 96910, or [email protected]. Saina Ma' ase.

TESTIMONY ON BILLS 520-31(COR); 521-31(COR), AND 522-31 (COR)

Buenas Yan Hafa Adai!. For the record, my name is Mayor Franklin M. Taitague from the beautiful and historic village of lnalahan. On behalf of the members of the MCOG, I wish to express my sincerest gratitude and Dungkulo na Si Yu'os Ma'ase to the Chairman and members of the Committee on Municipal Affairs, Tourism, Housing & Recreation for the opportunity to receive testimonies on Bills 520-31 (cor), 521-31 (cor) and 522-31 (cor). Furthermore, my hats off to you Senator Tina R. Muna Barnes for your due diligence in sponsoring the bills that would greatly enhanced the MCOG. Un Dungkulo lokue na Respetu yan Agredisemiento for your responsive legislations that have greatly assisted the MCOG in serving the citizens of our beautiful island.

Now approaching my 4th Term as a Mayor, Bill 520-31 provides the MCOG the flexibility on who can administer the oaths of office at the commencement ceremony of each new term and the authorization to use funds from our annual budget and to solicit funds for the purpose of defraying the cost of our Inauguration Ceremony. As a long time Treasurer of the MCOG, Bill 521-31 will greatly enhance the needed revenue generating options of the MCOG Revolving Fund and required actions necessary for the control and accounting of all expenditures. Annual election of new officers is often a challenge with the MCOG. However, a two year term will strengthen and allow the officers for more time to confront issues and matters affecting the Council and the public we serve. Bill 522-31 as written, will provide for this needed change.
