  5    Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
  6        WHEREAS, Section 67-5708A, Idaho Code, requires all state agencies to per-
  7    form a comprehensive analysis of their building facility lease(s) and evaluate
  8    all viable alternatives to meet long-term facility needs  including  acquiring
  9    facilities  with  appropriated  funds  and  leasing  facilities from the state
 10    building authority; and
 11        WHEREAS, agencies, with assistance from the Director of the Department  of
 12    Administration,  are required to select the lease or purchase alternative that
 13    provides suitable facilities at the lowest responsible cost to  the  taxpayer,
 14    including residual value; and
 15        WHEREAS,  the Legislature desires the Director of the Department of Admin-
 16    istration to annually provide a report on building facility leases, the course
 17    of action on each lease recommended, the timeline  in  which  the  recommended
 18    action  is to be taken and the estimated long-term savings of taxpayer dollars
 19    expected, measured in both historical and present value dollars; and
 20        WHEREAS, the Legislature desires the Legislative Services Office to  inde-
 21    pendently  review the purchase or lease alternatives recommended by the Direc-
 22    tor of the Department of Administration; and
 23        WHEREAS, to the extent the recommended course of action is to  lease  from
 24    the Idaho State Building Authority, a Concurrent Resolution is required.
 25        NOW,  THEREFORE,  BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the Second Regular Ses-
 26    sion of the Fifty-fifth Idaho Legislature, the Senate and the House of  Repre-
 27    sentatives concurring therein, that the Director of the Department of Adminis-
 28    tration  shall  provide  to the First Regular Session of the Fifty-sixth Idaho
 29    Legislature and annually thereafter a report of all  state  building  facility
 30    leases. The report shall include the course of action and timeline recommended
 31    for  each lease that will provide the lowest responsible cost to the taxpayer,
 32    including residual value, measured over the time the facilities  are  expected
 33    to  be  needed. If the recommended course of action is to lease from the Idaho
 34    State Building Authority, the report shall provide a suggested Concurrent Res-
 35    olution for each facility or  appropriate  combination  of  facilities  recom-
 36    mended.
 37        BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislative Services Office shall indepen-
 38    dently  review  all  leases  recommended  by the Director of the Department of
 39    Administration as described in Section 67-5708A, Idaho Code.  For  all  leases
 40    not  recommended,  the  Legislative  Services Office shall establish a plan to
 41    review and make periodic reports regarding such leases by July 1, 2002.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                       RS10187

This concurrent resolution is a key "next step" in improving 
the state's management of its building facilities as required 
under Section 67-5708A, Idaho code.

This resolution directs the Director of the Department of 
Administration to provide the 2001 legislature with a report 
of all state building leases. The report will include the 
course of action and time line recommended for each lease 
or group of leases that will provide the lowest responsible 
cost to the taxpayer, including residual value, measured 
over the time the facilities are expected to be needed.

If the recommendation is to lease from the State Building 
Authority, the Director shall provide a suggested concurrent 
resolution for legislative approval.

This resolution also directs the Legislative Services Office 
to independently review and report on the recommendations of 
the Director and, over the next twenty seven months as part of 
its routine audit of agencies, review all other state leases 
and report to the legislature.

                           FISCAL NOTE

No negative fiscal impact. The scope of work contemplated by 
this concurrent resolution will be preformed with existing 
staff and resources.

There will be a huge positive fiscal impact resulting from 
this work as the state's facility management plan focuses on 
building occupancy cost options and alternatives. Particularly 
from the standpoint of choosing the alternative or option 
that provides the least responsible cost to the taxpayer, 
including residual values, measured over the time the building 
facility is expected to be needed.
