House Concurrent Resolution No. 21.
A concurrent resolution approving the conveyance of property to the State Building Authority and approving a lease between the State of Michigan and the State Building Authority relative to the Department of Natural Resources State Fish Hatchery Renovations Platte Project.
Whereas, 2001 PA 81 established the Department of Natural Resources State Fish Hatchery Renovations Project at a total authorized project cost of $23,300,000 (the State Building Authority (the "Authority") share is $20,000,000 and the State General Fund/General Purpose share is $3,300,000). The Authority's share of the project is composed of two components, the renovations of the existing Oden Fish Hatchery (the "Oden Facility") and the renovations of the existing Platte River Fish Hatchery (the "Platte Facility"); and
Whereas, The estimated project cost for the Oden Facility and the Platte Facility are $11,801,000 and $8,199,000, respectively, which in the aggregate is equal to the Authority's share of $20,000,000 for the Department of Natural Resources State Fish Hatchery Renovations; and
Whereas, The portions of the Oden Facility and the Platte Facility to be financed by the Authority shall be $11,801,000 and $8,199,000, respectively, which in the aggregate is equal to the share of the total authorized cost to be financed by the Authority; and
Whereas, The remaining $3,300,000 of the authorized State General Fund/General Purpose share will be used on various other state fish hatchery renovations around the State of Michigan; and
Whereas, Section 5 of 1964 PA 183, as amended, being MCL § 830.415, requires the approval of the State Administrative Board, the Attorney General, and the Michigan Legislature by concurrent resolution concurred in by a majority of the members elected to and serving in each house, with the votes and names of the members voting thereon entered in the journal, before land owned by the State of Michigan (the "State") may be conveyed to the Authority; and
Whereas, The site for the Platte Facility located in Benzie County is currently owned by the State; and
Whereas, Section 7 of 1964 PA 183, as amended, being MCL § 830.417, requires the approval of the State Administrative Board and the Michigan Legislature by concurrent resolution concurred in by a majority of the members elected to and serving in each house, with the votes and names of the members voting thereon entered in the journal, before the State may enter into a lease with the Authority upon a showing of a public purpose; and
Whereas, Providing additional space to be used by the State pursuant to the lease for the Platte Facility is a recognized public purpose; and
Whereas, A lease between the Authority and the State has been prepared providing for the leasing of the Platte Facility by the Authority to the State (the "Lease"); and
Whereas, The Executive Director of the Authority has furnished the Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee of the Legislature with information and documents relative to the Lease; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That the Total Facility Cost for the Platte Facility shall not exceed $8,199,000 (the Authority share is $8,199,000 and the State General Fund/General Purpose share is $0), plus interest charges on monies advanced by the State to meet the construction cash flow requirements of the Platte Facility, if any, of which not more than $8,199,000, plus interest charges on monies advanced by the State to meet the construction cash flow requirements of the Facility, if any, shall be financed from bonds issued by the Authority, exclusive of amounts necessary for reserves, interest, or other nonconstruction costs; and be it further
Resolved, That the Legislature hereby approves the necessary conveyances of property to the Authority as more particularly described in the Lease and attachments thereto; and be it further
Resolved, That the Legislature hereby approves the Authority acquiring the Platte Facility and leasing it to the State and hereby determines that the leasing of the Platte Facility from the Authority is for a public purpose as authorized by 1964 PA 183, as amended; and be it further
Resolved, That the annual amounts of "True Rental" for the Platte Facility shall be within or below the range of $620,000 and $800,000, as shall reflect variations that may occur in the components upon which the appraisal of True Rental was based, which amounts shall be certified by the appraiser and thereafter approved by the State Administrative Board and the Authority as authorized by 1964 PA 183, as amended; and be it further
Resolved, That the Lease is hereby approved by this concurrent resolution, and the Governor and the Secretary of State are authorized and directed to execute the Lease for and on behalf of the State; and be it further
Resolved, That, by hereby approving the Lease between the State and the Authority, the Legislature agrees to appropriate annually sufficient amounts to pay the rent as obligated pursuant to the Lease; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this concurrent resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Secretary of State, the Authority, and the State Budget Director.
