(b)  It is the expectation of the legislature that the University of Wyoming will use the additional endowment provided by this section to establish endowed chairs to be used to recruit or retain faculty with established reputations for excellence whose presence will enhance the educational quality and reputation of the University of Wyoming.  It is expected that these faculty members will be of sufficient quality to command a salary higher than that normally paid a faculty member.  It is the expectation of the legislature that the community colleges will use this endowment to recruit or retain faculty, either permanent or visiting, with special skills in instruction or to otherwise improve the academic and vocational quality of educational and outreach capabilities at their colleges.

(c)  Not later than October 1, 2005 and 2006, the University of Wyoming and each Wyoming community college shall report to the joint education interim committee and the joint appropriations interim committee regarding the expenditures made from the endowments under this section.".

The board of land commissioners shall hold title to and administer the homestake lands through the 2005 legislative session. The board of land commissioners shall create an advisory management team consisting of not more than nine (9) members representing, as equally as possible, the various multiple uses contemplated for the homestake lands, including hunting and game management, livestock grazing, snowmobiling and other recreation, forestry, historic preservation and land conservation.  The board of land commissioners in cooperation with the management team, shall submit to the legislature, prior to December 31, 2004, a recommendation for management and administration of the homestake lands after the 2005 legislative session.

(b)  Thirty million dollars ($30,000,000.00), or as much thereof as is necessary, is appropriated to the state land board from the budget reserve account for the purposes of this section.

(c)  Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this section, two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00), or as much thereof as is necessary, is appropriated from the general fund to the state land board for necessary expenses required to review the land as provided in subsection (e) of this section and to administer the land through the 2005 legislative session.

(d)  After consultation with members of the state land board, the Wyoming legislature finds that purchase of the homestake lands by the state of Wyoming is feasible and desirable to maintain open spaces, a historical recreation area, traditional agricultural and timbering uses and turkey, elk and other species of wildlife for the citizens of Wyoming on all or a portion of the homestake lands and prevent possible subdivision of the lands which would impair those uses.

(e)  In preparing and submitting a report and recommendations to the Wyoming legislature, the land board shall specifically address at least the following areas:

(i)  The report and recommendations shall contain information relating to reasonable revenue estimates from ownership of the lands attributable to agricultural leasing, timber production, recreational income, possible income from leases with the Wyoming game and fish commission, Wyoming parks and cultural resources commission, or any private organizations and any other possible uses;

(ii)  A complete and comprehensive appraisal of the lands including the amount of property taxes currently being paid to local governments on the lands.  The property shall be retained on the tax rolls and the land board shall recommend sources for state or private payment of future taxes;

(iii)  The result of meetings or hearings with interested persons and governmental entities in the area, state agencies and other members of the Wyoming public.  The report shall make recommendations regarding how the lands should be managed and administered in the future;

(iv)  Possibilities for future exchanges of some portions of the lands with the federal government to increase access to existing federal lands, increase timber available to sustain private timber production in the area, recreational, agricultural and other values of importance to the Wyoming public and portions of the lands, if any, that might be suitable for privatization and public sale in the future;

(v)  Any other matters of significance as determined by the members of the state land board.
