Analysis

Summary

To approve standard State Building Authority (SBA) lease agreements among the SBA, the State and the respective universities for Capital Outlay projects as shown in the table below.  These properties are also conveyed to the SBA by the resolutions.  Each of these projects received planning, cost, and construction authorizations under previous Capital Outlay budget acts.  The projects are under construction, or some cases completed

Approval of these resolutions is the final remaining legal requirement to allow the SBA to issue both short and long-term debt instruments to finance the State's share of each project's construction costs.

The Department of Management and Budget recommends approval.

State Fiscal Impact

Legislative adoption of these resolutions commits the State to annually pay rent to the SBA until its debt obligations are fully satisfied.  The cumulative annual GF/GP low-to-high rent payment range of $7,285,000 to $9,386,000 is provided consistent with the State Building Authority Act (PA 183 of 1964).  The actual rental amount, within or below the respective ranges, will be determined by an independent appraiser when each project is completed.  Payments to the SBA begin after the long-term bonds have been issued.
