    Sec. 217.  2001 2nd sp.s. c 8 s 415 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:

FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES

    Trust Land Transfer Program (02‑2‑010)

 

    The state building construction account and the educational capital construction account appropriations in this section ((is)) are subject to the following conditions and limitations:

    (1) The total appropriation is provided to the department solely to transfer from trust status or enter into thirty-year timber harvest restrictive easements for certain trust lands of state-wide significance deemed appropriate for state park, fish and wildlife habitat, natural area preserve, natural resources conservation area, open space, or recreation purposes.

    (2) Property transferred under this section shall be appraised and transferred at fair market value.  The value of the timber transferred shall be deposited by the department to the common school construction account in the same manner as timber revenues from other common school trust lands.  No deduction shall be made for the resource management cost account under RCW 79.64.040.  The value of the land transferred shall be deposited in the natural resources real property replacement account.  These funds shall be expended by the department for the exclusive purpose of acquiring real property of equal value to be managed as common school trust land.

    (3) Property subject to easement agreements under this section shall be appraised at fair market value both with and without the imposition of the easement.  The entire difference in appraised value shall be deposited by the department to the common school construction fund in the same manner as lease revenues from other common school trust lands.  No deduction shall be made for the resource management cost account under RCW 79.64.040.

    (4) All reasonable costs incurred by the department to implement this section are authorized to be paid out of this appropriation.  Authorized costs include the actual cost of appraisals, staff time, environmental reviews, surveys, and other similar costs.

    (5) Intergrant exchanges between common school and other trust lands of equal value may occur if the exchange is in the interest of each trust, as determined by the board of natural resources.

    (6) Prior to or concurrent with conveyance of these properties, the department, with full cooperation of the receiving agencies, shall execute and record a real property instrument that dedicates the transferred properties to the purposes identified in subsection (1) of this section for a minimum period of thirty years.  The department of natural resources, in consultation with the receiving state agencies, shall develop policy to address requests to replace transferred properties subject to the recorded property instrument that are no longer deemed appropriate for the purposes identified in subsection (1) of this section.

    (7) The department and receiving agencies shall work in good faith to carry out the intent of this section.  However, the department or receiving agencies may remove a property from the transfer list based on new, substantive information, if it is determined that transfer of the property is not in the statewide interest of either the common school trust or the receiving agency.

    (8) The department shall execute trust land transfers and easements such that ((80 percent of the)) all of the educational capital construction account appropriation in this section is deposited in the common school construction fund.  To achieve the 80:20 ratio between the educational capital construction account appropriation for timber, and the state building construction account appropriation for land, the department may offset transfers of property with low timber-to-land ratios with easements on other properties.

    (9) On June 30, 2003, the state treasurer shall transfer all remaining uncommitted funds from ((this)) these appropriations to the common school construction fund and the appropriations in this section shall be reduced by an equivalent amount.

    (10) The appropriations in this section ((is)) are provided for a list of projects in LEAP capital document No. 2001-42, as developed on June 7, 2001.

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 218.  Agencies shall expedite the expenditure of appropriations for the job creation and infrastructure program in order to:  (1) Maximize additional private employment opportunities associated with capital expenditures; (2) expediently renew and repair a wide variety of state facilities and infrastructure; and (3) minimize reappropriations for work under this section to those projects that have been encumbered and are substantially underway by June 30, 2003.  Agencies shall implement the job creation and infrastructure program within the agency's current level of employees.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 219.  The following conditions apply to appropriations for the job creation and infrastructure program:  (1) Agencies shall contract permitting, design, and construction services wherever appropriate; (2) the department of general administration shall coordinate contract and project management services to meet the completion goals of this section; (3) agencies may petition the office of financial management to use agency staff or to separately contract project management services for individual projects on an exception basis by demonstrating that this approach is more cost effective and necessary to meet the timeline goals in this section; and (4) to carry out the provisions of sections 201 through 224 of this act, the office of financial management may assign responsibility for design, construction, and other related activities to any appropriate agency.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 220.  To ensure that job creation and infrastructure program appropriations are carried out in accordance with legislative intent, funds shall not be allotted until project lists are approved by and on file with the office of financial management.  Allotments for appropriations shall be provided in accordance with the capital project review requirements adopted by the office of financial management.  No expenditure may be incurred or obligation assumed against job creation and infrastructure program appropriations until the office of financial management has approved the allotment of the funds to be expended.

    The office of financial management shall report the following information to the appropriate fiscal committees of the legislature by December 1, 2002:  (1) A list of projects by agency that are funded for job creation and infrastructure improvement; (2) a status report on each project noting percent completion; and (3) an explanation of why any appropriation remains unexpended.  Agencies shall make this information available to the office of financial management upon request.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 221.  The office of financial management shall establish a process to monitor the progress of the projects that received appropriations in the job creation and infrastructure program and may subsequently redirect any unencumbered funds from projects whose timelines are not being met to finance other projects in any other agency.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 222.  A supplemental capital budget is hereby adopted and, subject to the provisions set forth in this act, the several dollar amounts herein specified, or so much thereof as shall be sufficient to accomplish the purposes designated, are hereby appropriated and authorized to be incurred for capital projects during the period ending June 30, 2003, out of the several funds specified in this act.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 223.  If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the act or the application of the provision to other persons or circumstances is not affected.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 224.  This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes effect immediately.
