6 WHEREAS, the state of Idaho has acquired the real property and improve-
7 ments located at 514 W. Jefferson, Boise, Idaho; and
8 WHEREAS, a recently completed Capitol Mall Master Plan indicates that

11 agencies, an additional facility is needed; and
12 WHEREAS, a legislative task force has analyzed the various options avail-
13 able for this property and has recommended an approach that would save and
14 remodel a portion of the existing structure for historical reasons, and pro-
15 vide a significant addition to the existing structure for functional purposes;
16 and
17 WHEREAS, the Department of Administration is charged with the management
18 of multiagency office space constructed through the Idaho State Building
19 Authority and is directed to operate any property acquired for the Capitol
20 Mall.
21 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the Second Regular Ses-
22 sion of the Fifty-sixth Idaho Legislature, the House of Representatives and
23 the Senate concurring therein, that the Legislature hereby authorizes and pro-
24 vides approval for the Department of Administration to enter into an agreement
25 or agreements with the Idaho State Building Authority, under such terms and
26 conditions as may be reasonable and necessary, to provide for the remodel of,
27 and construction of an addition to, the Ada County Courthouse.
28 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Capitol Commission shall adjust the time-
29 table of the Capitol renovation project as necessary to allow the remodeled
30 and expanded facility authorized herein to be available for occupancy during
31 the time occupants of the Capitol Building are required to relocate.
32 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the legislative department shall determine the
33 use and allocation of space on the first and second floors of the recon-
34 structed office building at 514 W. Jefferson, Boise, Idaho, and that the
35 design and configuration of such interior space on the first and second floors
36 shall be developed in cooperation with, and subject to, the approval of the
37 President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Represen-
38 tatives or their designee(s).
39 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution constitutes authorization
40 required by the provisions of Section 67-6410, Idaho Code.
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.
