Senator Johnson offered the following concurrent resolution:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 13.
A concurrent resolution to increase the total project cost of the General Campus Renovations project at St. Clair Community College.
Whereas, The St. Clair Community College—General Campus Renovations project was authorized in 2002 PA 530 with a total project cost of $9,000,000. This figure takes into account the veto of Section 411 of 2002 PA 530; and
Whereas, St. Clair Community College has estimated that the total cost to complete the General Campus Renovations project has increased to $13,000,000; and
Whereas, St. Clair Community College has agreed to fund the increase in the project cost of $4,000,000, with the state commitment remaining at $4,500,000; and
Whereas, Pursuant to section 246 of 1984 PA 431, as amended, being MCL § 18.1246, the authorized cost of projects shall only be established or revised by specific reference in a budget act, by concurrent resolution adopted by both houses of the legislature, or inferred by the total amount of any appropriations made to complete plans and construction; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the Michigan Legislature recognizes the need to increase the total authorized cost for the St. Clair Community College—General Campus Renovations project to an amount not to exceed $13,000,000 (State Building Authority share $4,499,800; the State General Fund/General Purpose share $200; and St. Clair Community College share $8,500,000) and that the legislature intends to continue to appropriate funds for construction subject to the limitations herein stated, in amounts not to exceed the authorized cost, subject to the ordinary vicissitudes of the legislative process; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the State Budget Director, the Director of the Department of Management and Budget, and St. Clair Community College.
