BY STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
1 A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
2 STATING FINDINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE AND PROVIDING THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF
3 ADMINISTRATION, UPON APPROPRIATION OF ITS BUDGET REQUEST RELATED TO THE
4 BORAH POST OFFICE, SHOULD TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO FACILITATE AND COM-
5 PLETE THE ACQUISITION OF THE BORAH POST OFFICE IN THE NAME OF THE STATE OF
6 IDAHO AND MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR THE USE OF THE STATE.
7 Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
8 WHEREAS, real property located at 304 North 8th Street, and commonly known
9 as the Borah Post Office, is currently available to the state of Idaho, with-
10 out monetary consideration, through the United States as federal surplus prop-
11 erty for use pursuant to Section 203(k)(3) of the Federal Property and Admin-
12 istrative Services Act of 1949, as amended (40 U.S.C. 484(k)(3)), and in
13 accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Department of
14 the Interior; and
15 WHEREAS, the property is comprised of approximately 1.40 acres with a
16 four-story building, plus basement, and consists of approximately 79,879
17 square feet (64,472 net rentable square feet) and 34 total parking spaces; and
18 WHEREAS, the Department of Administration has submitted the required
19 application papers to acquire the property and has specifically conditioned
20 such application on the approval of the Legislature of the acquisition, spe-
21 cifically the appropriation required for operation, maintenance and repair;
22 and
23 WHEREAS, if acquired, it is anticipated that the state could relocate
24 state agencies into the Borah Post Office, both in the currently available
25 space (approximately 26,400 square feet) and as current leases expire and
26 would eventually utilize most of the space in the Borah Post Office for the
27 functions of government and to meet the state's office space needs; and
28 WHEREAS, the state's long-term space needs would be efficiently and cost-
29 effectively served by the availability of the Borah Post Office.
30 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the Second Regular Ses-
31 sion of the Fifty-seventh Idaho Legislature, the House of Representatives and
32 the Senate concurring therein, that the Department of Administration, upon
33 appropriation of its budget request related to the Borah Post Office, should
34 take the necessary steps to facilitate and complete the acquisition of the
35 Borah Post Office in the name of the state of Idaho and make it available for
36 the use of the state.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 14004c1
This concurrent resolution approves of the Department of
Administration taking necessary steps to finalize the acquisition
of the Borah Post Office from the United States, pursuant to
federal surplus property laws. It is contemplated that the
Department of Administration would sublease available space
directly to state entities.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no cost of acquisition as the federal statutes allow for
the conveyance without monetary consideration. The Department of
Administration has requested spending authority of $650,000 for
FY2005 to cover costs of operation, maintenance and repair.
Operation, maintenance and repair costs are generated from tenant
lease payments.
