This bill established the Alaska Marine Transportation Advisory Board and set out its powers and duties in Alaska Statute AS 19.65.011 and AS 19.65.110-195, made conforming amendments, and provided an effective date of June 5, 2008. The board was expanded by one seat (from 11 members to 12) with the addition of a representative from the Southwest System under Senate Bill 24 effective September 1, 2013.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT Alaska Marine Highway System Fund Notes to the Financial Statement For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2015 NOTE 1 -

Alaska Marine Highway System Fund The Alaska Marine Highway System Fund was established July 1, 1990. All gross revenues generated from the operation of the Alaska Marine Highway System are accounted for and remitted in accordance with AS 19.65.070 which mandates that the money shall be deposited in the Alaska Marine Highway System Fund. Marine Highway Capitalization Account The Marine Highway Capitalization account was established within the Alaska Marine Highway System Fund June 30, 2009. An estimated $9 million in general funds was reappropriated to the new Capitalization Account. Access to this new funding will be restricted and will only occur with approval by the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee. An unexpended and unobligated balance of funds for the off-set of higher fuel costs, estimated at $1.25 million, were reallocated in Chapter 13, SLA 10, Sec 11(c) to the Marine Highway Capitalization Account. In FY2012 and FY2013, a total of $6.55 million of unexpended and unobligated balance of funds for the off-set of higher fuel costs were reallocated to the Marine Highway Capitalization Account. In FY2014, $11.0 million of funds were transferred to the AMHS FY15 Capital Fund for vessel overhaul projects and $3.0 million in funds were transferred to the AMHS Deferred Maintenance capital fund.

NOTE 2 -

CIP Program Component The Alaska Marine Highway System budget includes a component which authorizes positions directly related to capital projects. Beginning in FY2001, the salary cost of time charged directly to capital projects is not recorded in the Alaska Marine Highway Fund. The cost of time charged to administration or overhead is recorded in the Alaska Marine Highway Fund.

NOTE 3 -

Interest Earned on the Fund In FY13, the Alaska Marine Highway Fund began receiving the interest earned on its fund. This interest is recorded as unrestricted revenue and is reflected on the Combining Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance Statement.

NOTE 4 -

Operating Overhaul Overhaul expenditures that are included in the Operating Budget are limited to small maintenance items that arise while the vessels are operating and do not include capital overhaul expenditures. Large vessel overhaul and deferred maintenance items are included in the Capital Budget. In FY2015, the Vessel Overhaul and Deferred Maintenance Capital Budgets totalled $15.0 million.

NOTE 5 -

Additional Fuel Trigger Appropriation In FY15 the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) appropriated $7.2 million in excess fuel trigger funds to AMHS in order to maintain ferry service as published in the AMHS 2015 summer schedule.
