JAC Index 02092016 pm1 2/9/2016 12:15:15 PM Ross: Meeting called back into order Capital Construction Connolly: move to delay project for a year Stubson: Casper main office building – notified by city 4+ years ago that there were safety, life issues equaling 8 or 9 M. Building is worth 2M. State allowed remaining in building because they are working on replacing the building. Appropriate to leave this in. Perkins: Leased office space. Appropriate to leave this in. Harshman: Code issues on a 60 year old building. Repayment schedule. Will be a one stop shop. Efficiency. Payback? Ross: Microphone, identify yourself. Catellier: AandI construction management. Repayment schedule shows about a 17 year payback. Ross: lease space? Catellier: leasing about 75,000 sq. foot. Ross: lease cost Catellier: get back with you Hastert: Ross: Additional amendments Wasserburger: Strike line 7 on page 27, page 19, line 23, UW Science Initiative Ross: Remove science initiative Wasserburger: yes. Total cost 109M. Over the top for the money we have right now. Ross: Money appropriated already? Richards: Traunch 3 money Discussion of money Harshman: Future of state diversification is well educated students. Will pay dividends long after we are gone. Richards: Correction. 8 M for tier 1 engineering. 750,000 for science. Wasserburger: UW given x dollars. Think about the forecasted CREG report. Money available for alternative projects. Long term effects. Ross: Motion failed. 2/9/2016 12:28:17 PM Nicholas: Move page 9, payback for High Bay Facility, move to top of list above state facilities. 5.4M. Letter g moved to first priority . Ross: Show of hands.7 in favor to 5 against. Nicholas: move to make study number 2 Perkins: What is A – health and safety issues. Move the study above the building? Nicholas: Talking about A and H. My understanding is that is the building and the study is page 10 A Richards: Total amount for appropriations exceeded the money we needed from the federal funds. 1.486 M came from GF. No rationale to why we applied that amount to A. We needed to make up the money. Perkins: Moving million dollar study above the forestry shop building? Nicholas: It does not matter to me if it is in front of or behind the shop, just want it up in the list in either place. Forestry building is below the state facility. Ross: Motion passed. Richards: Clarification 1 – Fed funds coming to WYDOT in pattern based upon project completion. A large portion of those funds will be used for maintenance of funds also. WYDOT may be able to use funds more expeditiously so funds may materialize faster than expected. WWAMI study, last item, listed on page 8, did not include the 300,000 in the priority list so we have a draft amendment to put it in last. Burns: I move the amendment as written. Ross: Amendment adopted Burns: Question on J – top of page 10 property purchases, north of campus. For specific buildings going in now or for future? Boswell: Intent of the request is for property purposes related to the science initiative but there may be other purchases included. Burns: Are the properties delineated? Boswell: no. Engineering building, primarily rental properties. Guess is that the 3M would be primarily spent at 9th and Lewis for science initiative. 2/9/2016 12:38:34 PM Ross: Section 4 Richards: page 13, lines 21 and 22 is a placeholder. Committee action. Based on what was spent before Burns: Does it take action on our part? Harshman: We amended 9M on level 3? Richards: You did not. Harshman: Is this the place to put that? Number brought from the select committee. Move to add 9m in there for level 3 design. Up to 9M. Ross: out of prior funds Richards: State facility construction account Stubson: level 1 and 2 costs were less than budgeted. Did those dollars flow back or can they be used for this purpose too? Richards: We can revert those if you would like. Stubson: yes, do it in this bill? Richards: Good to have the motion. There is 211,000 in dept of health, never expended. Could pull that back with the level 1 and 2. Nicholas: Amend the motion to include that. Perkins: the 40,000 expense of the task force. Richards: only for the legislative membership. State employee costs covered by their agency. First year language was that the Governor could appoint people outside of government Ross: Bringing money back is friendly amendment. Vote on the total amendment. Adopted. 2/9/2016 12:43:13 PM Ross: Wy state vet lab, section 5. Land acquisition honor farm. Page 16 – Stubson: SIPPA pages – Harshman: one page chart from LSO Stubson: Add 2 m for 17 and 18 for a total of 4 M for Casper project. Page 17 line 23, page 20, line 21 would be 12 M. Reduce state health facility FY17 on line 21, page 17 to 20M. UW science initiative, add 400,000 to both years so 24.4 M for each years appropriations. Page 19, line 23 24.4M Harshman: LSO chart Motion adopted 2/9/2016 12:47:44 PM Nicholas: Section 9 question. Richards: Funds from SIPPA, severance tax distribution. Not contingent on strong investment earnings. Used to back up SIPPA in FY17 and 18. 145M appropriated from SIPPA, also using the account for the backstop. So guaranteeing 245M dollars so last 45 M won’t be guaranteed from statutory reserve or SIPPA Greear: Harshman: Work that in general operations bill Nicholas: Should it be put in this bill? Harshman: In a general operations bill Richards: SRA amount 5%, about 104M, may use loans. SIPPA would be first tier. These funds and SRA would be second tier. Wasserburger: Are we required to pay SIPPA funds back and is there an interest rate? Richards: no interest rate. Obligation for future legislators to the extent investment income is not realized. Connolly: Obrecht: Technical correction Connolly: If we don’t want the capture of the 1% to automatically guarantee these projects, we could get rid of lines 6 – 15 on page 19 and get rid of section 9. Is that true? Obrecht: yes, make conforming amendments Connolly: I make the motion to not do the guarantee. We are setting up the equivalent here. I would rather not guarantee the projects with that one percent. Ross: motion failed Section 10 Section 12 is end of the bill Burkhart: Section 12, move to add to list 144 beds at medium security prison. Perkins: making it effective immediately is 3 months earlier. What is the concern? Burkhart: The department asked for that. Would like to get started as soon as possible. Money comes out of the Permanent Land fund. Perkins: I thought you were talking about the 13, 5 for the build out. Burkhart: I am talking about the 13, 5 . Lampert: Reason for approval upon signature for WMI facility – is to avoid displacement costs. Three months makes a difference Ross: Motion adopted. Richards: need to move that as well. Fits best here Ross: Clean up on the engineering building and UW – match language. Unable to hear testimony Richards: 167.1 M Ross: moved, seconded, adopted Ross: Nicholas: unable to hear. When budget reductions, lack of funding, removed funding requests. Had they been in and reviewed by us. If you look at the London Library for 8M. It is a build out and remodel. Pulled out due to lack of funds. This should be considered by JAC. Community College came back to me. Payout sheet. GF at 4.9M. LCCC has said if you give us 2.5M, we will build out the rest. We are getting two for one on the dollars. Move to add 2.5M to the list for the London library. There is no level 3 funding. We have paid for level 2. Modal rankings. Seconded. Ross: Is there sufficient funds? Richards: Net effect is increase of transfer from the LSRA fund to GF in the operating bill. If you want to appropriate LSRA dollars in this bill, that is another option. Ross: Our out of SIPPA? Nicholas: appropriate place Division – Motion failed. Ross: State funded capital construction Roll call vote: 5 minute break 2/9/2016 1:05:19 PM 2/9/2016 1:19:14 PM Harshman: Land purchases effective immediately.

Option 2, surface parking on College. Carried. Roll call vote, as further amended. 9-3, carried. General government appropriations Richards: Office of the Governor, footnote 1.
