Description of Appropriation: Subject to Board approval, funding distributed by this bill shall be used by the Office of State Lands and Investments to fund projects that will preserve and enhance the asset value of common school surface and mineral lands held in trust by the State of Wyoming.

 

Assumptions: The case load for capital investments and projects that will preserve or enhance the value of state common school trust land will increase, but it will not require additional full time staff. There will be an increase in contractual services. Furthermore, the increased amount of funding would allow the agency to consider seasonal/part-time positions necessary to efficiently and effectively complete Board-approved trust preservation and enhancement projects. 

 

Source of Revenue Decrease:  One percent (1%) of the CSPLF revenue received in the prior fiscal year will be deposited into the Common School Trust Land Management Account. 

 

Assumptions: The CSPLF would be decreased by the same amount that would go into the newly created common school trust land management account as shown above, thus the funds available for investment would decrease and thus investment income would decrease.  Based on the yields shown above, investment earnings in the CSPLF would decrease as follows:

FY 11-$2,230,000 x 2.4% = $53,520; FY12-$1,900,000 x 2.7% = $51,300; FY13-$1,675,000 x 2.7% = $45.225
