Brief Description:  Relating to the 1989-91 capital budget.

SPONSORS:Senator McDonald.

BACKGROUND:

State government operates on a two-year fiscal period, beginning on July 1 of each odd-numbered year and ending on June 30 of the following odd-numbered year.  A capital budget is adopted for each fiscal biennium, providing appropriations for construction projects, repairs, and other capital improvements of the facilities of state agencies and institutions.

SUMMARY:

The 1989-91 capital budget is amended to modify the reappropriation of moneys previously appropriated for capital projects of the Department of Trade and Economic Development, the Department of Transportation, and the University of Washington.  Supplemental appropriations are also made for two new capital improvements at the University of Washington (the exterior repair of Denny Hall and a power plant boiler).

In addition, a 1990 appropriation for the construction of school facilities is modified to clarify the application of state law provided for the use of capital appropriations for the purchase of works of art.
