Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                             RS09742 

STATE BUILDINGS MANAGEMENT REFORM - This is the fifth in 
a package of six bills needed to improve cost-control and 
efficiency over management of state building facilities. 

At the present time the state does not have enterprise-wide 
knowledge of the real property it owns. Each agency maintains 
independent property records and the quality and existence of 
legal documentation is not certain. 

This legislation establishes a central registry or "integrated 
property records system" for all state-owned and leased real 
estate. The records, to the extent not already done, will be 
researched, documented and cataloged by the Department of Lands 
(DOL) and integrated into a comprehensive Geographic Information 
System (GIS) database. 

The database will include state-owned buildings and leases 
administered by the Department of Administration - Division 
of Public Works, institutions of higher education and all 
other state agencies. 

The following information will be available for free over the 
Internet: Ownership of land by primary classification (Federal, 
state, county, city and private), topographical maps, 
road-street maps, air photographs, site location of state owned 
and leased buildings and general information about those 
buildings. (Air photographs of Idaho is now near completion.) 

This information will, among other things, facilitate many 
state agency decisions regarding real estate as well as prove 
valuable to the public. 


                          FISCAL IMPACT 

DOL estimates this work will require 2 FTEs beginning in FY2001, 
total budgeted costs of $112,000 and 3-5 years to research, 
catalogue and legally document and perfect all of the state's 
real estate records. Offsetting this cost will be cost savings 
realized by state agencies. However, the amount of such savings 
cannot be determined.
