Analysis

Summary

Approves a standard State Building Authority (SBA) lease between the SBA, the State and Michigan State University relative to its Chemistry Building Renovations and Cooling Tower project.   The property is also conveyed to the SBA.  This project received planning, cost, and construction authorizations under previous Capital Outlay budget acts and is currently under construction.

Legislative approval of the resolution, a statutory requirement, enables the SBA to issue debt instruments to finance the state's share of the project's construction cost.

 

The Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee (JCOS) approved the resolution, with recommendation.  The Department of Management and Budget also recommends approval.

 

Fiscal Impact

Legislative adoption of the resolution commits the state to annually pay rent to the SBA until its debt obligations are fully satisfied.  The annual GF/GP high/low rental range of $1,345,000 to $1,759,000 is provided consistent with PA 183 of 1964. The actual true market rental amount, within or below the respective range, will be determined when the project is completed and has been independently appraised.
