<<Capital Outlay

     Sec. 250. (1) This section applies only to projects for community colleges.

   (2) State support is directed towards the remodeling and additions, special maintenance, or construction of certain community college buildings. The community college shall obtain or provide for site acquisition and initial main utility installation to operate the facility. Funding shall be comprised of local and state shares, and the state share shall include 50% of any federal money awarded for projects appropriated in this act. Not more than 50% of a capital outlay project, not including a lump-sum special maintenance project or remodeling and addition project, for a community college shall be appropriated from state and federal funds, unless otherwise appropriated by the legislature.

   (3) An expenditure under this act is authorized when the release of the appropriation is approved by the state administrative board upon the recommendation of the director of the department of management and budget. The director of the department of management and budget may recommend to the state administrative board the release of any appropriation in part 1 only after the director of the department of management and budget is assured that the legal entity operating the community college to which the appropriation is made has complied with this act and has matched the amounts appropriated as required by this act. A release of funds in part 1 shall not exceed 50% of the total cost of planning and construction of any project, not including lump-sum remodeling and additions and special maintenance, unless otherwise appropriated by the legislature. Further planning and construction of a project authorized by this act or applicable sections of the management and budget act, 1984 PA 431, MCL 18.1101 to 18.1594, shall be in accordance with the purpose and scope as defined and delineated in the approved program statements and planning documents. This act is applicable to all projects for which planning appropriations were made in previous acts.

   (4) The community college shall take the steps necessary to secure available federal construction and equipment money for projects funded for construction in this act if an application was not previously made. If there is a reasonable expectation that a prior year unfunded application may receive federal money in a subsequent year, the college shall take whatever action necessary to keep the application active. If federal money is received, the state share shall be adjusted accordingly as provided by this act.

   Sec. 251. If matching revenues are received in an amount less than the appropriations contained in this act, the state funds of the appropriation shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of matching revenue received.

   Sec. 252. (1) The director of the department of management and budget may require that community colleges and universities that have an authorized project listed in part 1 submit documentation regarding the project match and governing board approval of the authorized project not more than 60 days after the beginning of the fiscal year.

   (2) If the documentation required by the director of the department of management and budget under subsection (1) is not submitted, or does not adequately authenticate the availability of the project match or board approval of the authorized project, the authorization may terminate. The authorization terminates 30 days after the director notifies the joint capital outlay subcommittee of the appropriations committees of the intent to terminate the project unless the joint capital outlay subcommittee of the appropriations committees convenes to extend the authorization.

   Sec. 253. The appropriation included in part 1 for university and community college planning project authorizations allow for the completion of program statements and schematic planning documents. These projects will not receive cost and construction authorizations in subsequent budget acts unless there is sufficient bonding capacity available under the state building authority’s statutory bond capacity limit.

     Sec. 254. The design scope of the skilled trades training complex project at Washtenaw community college, authorized for planning in 2008 PA 278, is hereby revised to renovation of occupation education and advanced manufacturing buildings for the purposes of supporting occupational education and training.  The project title is hereby revised to skilled trades training program renovations. The total estimated cost of this project is $14,800,000.00 (state share $7,400,000.00; community college share $7,400,000.00).>>

forward as a work project and expended for a statewide longitudinal

     (2) If funds become available, the department shall allocate

 

up to $500,000.00 to a community-based program that trains and

 

employs parolees to collect donated food for use by food banks. The

 

program shall be administered through a partnership of 2 Michigan-

 

chartered nonprofit organizations. At least 1 of the nonprofit
