 28        BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Capitol Commission shall adjust the  time-

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                            RS 11878

This concurrent resolution provides authorization to the
Department of Administration to enter into agreements, as may be
necessary, with the Idaho State Building Authority to finance the
remodel, and construction of an addition to, the office building
at 514 W. Jefferson, Boise, Idaho (the site of the old Ada County
Courthouse).  The remodeled/expanded building would be used to
house Legislative offices and Committee rooms and other agencies
of state government as determined by the Department of
Administration.
                          FISCAL IMPACT

This concurrent resolution would create minimal fiscal impact to
the State.  An existing bond issue for which the state is
currently appropriating $1.1 million in permanent building fund
monies will be paid up in September of 2002 (School for the Deaf
and Blind).  The appropriation made to fund that payment would
simply be continued for the facility authorized in this
resolution.  Total estimated project costs are approximately $17
million.  Based on estimated project costs and current interest
rates, a 25-year bond issue would require annual lease payments
of approximately $1.2 million. The first annual lease payment
would commence after construction is complete, in the spring of
2004.

This resolution would also save the state significant rent and
multiple moving costs (up to $3.5 million in General Funds) by
aligning the timetables of the Capitol Commission project and
this project.
