Overview

The Michigan Capital Outlay process encompasses the budgetary and administrative functions devoted to the financing and planning for the acquisition, construction/renovation, and maintenance of facilities used by a state agency, public university, or community college.  General operational practices and procedures are contained in the Management and Budget Act (1984 PA 431), the State Building Authority Act (1964 PA 183), the annual Capital Outlay Appropriations Act (2003 PA 193), and the formal policies of the Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee (JCOS).  Act 431 contains numerous oversight and approval action steps that define the respective roles of the Executive and Legislative Branches.

Most major state-owned facility renovations and new construction projects are financed by the State Building Authority (SBA).  This is accomplished through the issuance of revenue bonds.  Debt service on these bonds is provided annually in the Capital Outlay budget bill’s SBA rent line items.  Rent is often referred to as “true” rent because it is based on the facility’s economic or market value.  The SBA has a statutory bonded indebtedness ceiling, currently set at $2.7 billion.

 

Summary of FY 2004-05 Major Budget Issues

State Building Authority Rent

            Included is a funding shift from the CMRS Emergency Telephone Fund of $6 million to GF/GP monies.

Military Construction

            Included are authorizations to renovate over 190,000 sq. ft. of space at a cost of $13 million at the Baker-Olin complex to consolidate military administrative and maintenance staffs; and, $18.5 million to construct a new company headquarters building at Camp Grayling.  Federal monies provide all but $500,000 of this financing.

Department of Transportation Facilities

            State Trunkline Fund monies will finance a new Houghton maintenance garage at $2.2 million and, $1.8 million to complete the Atlanta maintenance garage expansion.

State Agency Major Special Maintenance

            Per target agreement, all $2 million of GF/GP appropriations have been eliminated.

 

Budget Changes from FY 2003-04 YTD Appropriations:

(as of 8/20/04)

JCOS        Change

1.  DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET

    a.  Major Special Maintenance

The recommendation is that GF/GP appropriations for special maintenance for the departments of Corrections, Community Health, State Police, Management and Budget, and the FIA be transferred to a single undesignated line item.

·                     Corrections, ($711,700)

·                     Management and Budget, ($244,100)

·                     Family Independence Agency, ($188,400)

·                     Community Health, ($171,300)

·                     State Police, ($87,800)

It would then be DMB policy to only expend funds for emergency repairs that involve health and safety issues.  This will be the third year that this policy is in effect regardless of line item designation.

Per target agreements, the JCOS recommends elimination of GF/GP items.

1.  GENERAL SECTIONS

 Sec.  204.  Michigan Goods and Services– DELETED

Prohibits purchase of non-Michigan goods and services if comparably priced Michigan goods and services are available.

The Executive deletes this language.

The JCOS recommends restoration of current language.

2.  DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

Sec. 301.  Watchtowers at Maximum Correctional Facilities– DELETED

New maximum security prisons are to include manned and operational watchtowers. 

The Executive deletes this language.

The JCOS recommends restoration of current language.

 

Sec. 302.   Prison Facility Locations– DELETED

The Executive deletes this language.

The JCOS recommends restoration of current language.

3.  LUMP SUMS AND SPECIAL MAINTENANCE

Sec. 602.  State Owned Building Demolitions– MODIFIED

The Department of Management and Budget may demolish any state owned building as designated by law.  Also, each state agency, university, and community college is to annually report to DMB the status of authorized building demolition projects.

The Executive amends this to provide that each state agency, university, and community college will provide notification to the Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee (JCOS) of a planned building demolition.  If not disapproved by the JCOS within 30 days, the demolition will be deemed authorized.

The JCOS recommends eliminating universities and colleges from the requirement and that the 30 day disapproval period is not valid when the Legislature is out of session for at least 15 days.

 

4.  DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT & BUDGET

Sec. 902. (New)  Prohibits Expenditures for Leased Facilities, Various State Agencies –NEW

Prohibits various departments from expending operational funds for specific leases of non-State owned facilities unless the DMB Director objects.  This covers 23 lease agreements spread among the departments of Civil Service, Community Health, Labor and Economic Growth, State Police, DMB, and the FIA.  The DMB Director must report any exceptions, and justification for, to the appropriations committees, fiscal agencies, and State Budget Director by the end of the fiscal year.

The Executive recommends this language.

The JCOS recommends concurrence.

5.  DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Sec.  1201 (2).Airport Improvement Projects, Local Match  – MODIFIED

The federal government has lowered the required local match from 10% to 5% for almost all airport improvement/safety projects.  This replacement language reflects the new federal matching requirement.

The Executive recommends this language.

The JCOS recommends concurrence.

Sec.  1205.Handicap Bus Lifts Maintenance Reporting Requirement

Provides a reporting requirement related to maintenance of wheelchair lifts by transit agencies; provides sanctions

for failure to repair nonoperational lifts by certain milestone dates.  This section is largely identical to Section 732

of Public Act 361 of 2004 (HB 5528), the FY 2004-05 state transportation budget act.  However, the new section

exempts nonoperational wheelchair lifts from reporting requirements if the transit agency documents that the lifts

 will be replaced with new vehicles byAugust 1, 2005.

The bill contains a repealer of Section 732 of Public Act 361 of 2004.
