condition including health and safety considerations, type, size,
current use, enrollment and space by grade level, information on
specialized educational spaces, functionality of space, energy
efficiency information, date and cost of original construction, date
and cost of any major remodeling or renovation, operations and
maintenance information and expenditures, and other data elements as
determined by the joint legislative audit and review committee.
(5) By January 1, 2009, the joint legislative audit and review
committee shall provide a report to the appropriate legislative fiscal
committees on the following: (a) A proposed scope of work for the
facility condition and inventory system pilot project; (b)
identification of current sources of school district facility
information and where the data resides; (c) recommended criteria for
evaluating school facilities; (d) potential school district
participants; (e) an implementation plan for the pilot group of school
districts; and (f) a review of other states' scope and use of public
school facility condition and inventory information.
(6) By January 1, 2010, the joint legislative audit and review
committee shall submit findings and recommendations on the pilot
program to the appropriate legislative fiscal committees. At a
minimum, the final report must include the following: (a) A summary of
data collected and analyzed for each participating school district; (b)
an analysis of study and survey data for several participating school
districts compared to an independent facility assessment; (c) a
cost/benefit analysis of expanding the pilot to school districts
statewide, including potential timelines; (d) possible methods and
frequency for collecting, inventorying, updating, and sharing facility
information; (e) possible interaction of a facility condition and
inventory system with the statewide first responder building mapping
system and other data collection efforts that are ongoing; (f) methods
that allow for the efficient transfer of information between school
districts and the facility condition and inventory system; and (g)

Infrastructure Investment System (08-2-859)
The appropriation in this section is subject to the following
conditions and limitations: The legislature intends to begin a process
of reevaluating the policy goals and priorities for the allocation of
the infrastructure assistance program funds through the use of
information that is available and reviewed each biennium by the
infrastructure programs.
(1) The appropriation in this section is provided solely for the
office of financial management, in cooperation with the department of
community, trade, and economic development, the department of ecology,
the department of health, the transportation improvement board, and the
office of the state treasurer to develop an implementation plan. The
implementation plan will also be developed in consultation with
existing and potential state infrastructure program grant and loan
recipients, other stakeholders, and the legislature. The
implementation plan will identify options for the organization and
coordination of appropriate state infrastructure assistance programs
into an improved infrastructure investment system. The implementation
plan must identify opportunities for the improved infrastructure
investment system to achieve the following:
(a) Ease of access to program information and applications;
(b) Access to technical assistance;
(c) Coordination of program investment to ensure that all budget
and tax support from all state sources is disclosed and considered as
a total package of assistance. This includes the identification of
taxes paid by taxing districts and regions and the benefits received
from those same districts and regions;
(d) The promotion of strategic investments of state resources that
are aligned with state policy goals, which includes laws,
administrative rules, and program policies;
(e) The reduction of the cost of private market borrowing for
jurisdictions with higher costs;
(f) The identification of additional revenue for local
infrastructure; and
(g) Effective and efficient program administration.
(2) The development of an implementation plan must build upon prior
studies and inventories of infrastructure programs and a further
analysis of the major local infrastructure assistance programs. The
implementation plan must be based on analysis, including the following:
(a) The utilization of state grants, loans, and interest rate
subsidies to rate payers and local tax payers;
(b) A comparison of state policy goals, which are primary
considerations in determining project funding decisions, with the
actual funding decisions, the criteria used to rank proposals, and the
performance measures used to monitor the success of the programs;
(c) The compilation of the total amount of assistance received by
jurisdictions over the past five biennia;
(d) A comparison of the terms of a sample of low-interest loans
provided to public infrastructure projects with the terms of private
market borrowing that the jurisdictions would have been able to obtain.
The sample of loans must include different types and sizes of projects
and jurisdictions; and
(e) An identification of funds leveraged with state infrastructure
resources.
(3) The legislature also intends to use information from the
multiple infrastructure assistance programs to provide direction for
future funding priorities. The legislature will base those priorities
on information from infrastructure assistance programs, including the
programs' recommendations for the following:
(a) Needed investment for the different types of infrastructure
projects over the next six years;
(b) Funding allocation of the projected existing state
infrastructure assistance resources to those types of projects;
(c) Reallocation of existing state resources for infrastructure
projects; and
(d) New and existing local and state revenue sources to address
unfunded local infrastructure needs. In estimating the needed
investment for different types of infrastructure projects,
infrastructure assistance programs may include in their recommendations
new types of projects that are not authorized in statute.
(4) The implementation plan and analysis must be completed by
December 1, 2008.

The appropriation in this section is subject to the following
conditions and limitations: Planning funds are provided solely to
lease/develop state office buildings and facilities for the department
of information services on the "Wheeler block" of the east capitol
campus. The office buildings shall be constructed and financed so that
agencies' occupancy costs per gross square foot or per employee will
not exceed 110 percent of comparable private market rental rates per
gross square foot or per employee. The comparable general office space
rate shall be calculated based on recent Thurston county leases of new
space of at least 100,000 rentable square feet adjusted for known
escalation clauses, expected inflation, and differences in the level of
service provided by the comparable leases as determined by the
department in consultation with the department of general
administration. In addition to the department of information services,
state agency tenants shall include the state patrol and general office
facilities for small agencies and offices. The department shall design
and operate the general office facilities for small agencies and
offices as a demonstration of the efficiencies gained from the
integration of office space and telecommunications and computer
technology. The demonstration project shall provide office space,
furniture, and telecommunications and computer technology as a single
package. The facility shall be designed so that small agencies and
offices can move in and out of the facility without the typical moving
expenses that result from individual agency ownership of furniture and
technology. The facility for small agencies and offices shall also
provide for staffing and space efficiencies resulting from central
reception, and support services and spaces. The department of general
administration shall coordinate with state agency tenants of the
existing general administration building that will not be relocated to
the new facilities of the "Wheeler block" for occupancy of state-owned
or existing leased facilities ((vacated by the state patrol or the
department of information services)) within Thurston county prior to
relocation to new or not currently state-owned or leased facilities.
The department shall consider alternatives for backfilling vacated
state patrol or department of information services leased facilities
when possible.

Flood Protection Study (08-2-855)
The appropriation in this section is subject to the following
conditions and limitations:
The legislature finds that levees across the state provide
protection to hundreds of communities from flooding. Many of these
levee systems are old, built with substandard materials, and were not
designed to provide the level of protection that the communities behind
them need. Recent decertification of levees in King and Pierce
counties by the United States army corps of engineers indicates a
growing problem with levee maintenance. As more levees are
decertified, land behind those levees is considered to be located in
the regulated floodplain. Because of this, many homeowners and
businesses must obtain flood insurance, and new construction projects
must meet strict new building codes.
Therefore, the appropriation in this section is provided solely for
the department to conduct a study to determine the number of
decertified levees in the state and to identify strategies for
recertifying the levees so that they provide optimum protection for the
communities protected by the levees. The department must prioritize
areas to include in the study based on population and the economic
impact of potential flood damage.
The study shall include the following components:
(1) A working group of levee managers to advise and inform the
study;
(2) A technical review of the structural integrity of levee
systems;
(3) An inventory, map, and rate the effectiveness of existing levee
systems; and
(4) The development of strategies and actions needed to improve the
existing levee system and to ensure certification by the United States
army corps of engineers for one-hundred year flood protection.
The study must be completed and a report provided to the
appropriate legislative committees by July 1, 2009.

state park, fish and wildlife habitat, natural area preserve, natural
resources conservation area, open space, housing and essential
government services, or recreation purposes. The approved list of
projects is identified in the LEAP capital document 2007-5, developed
((March 20)) April 19, 2007.
(((3))) (2) Property subject to lease agreements under this section
shall be appraised at fair market value. Lease terms shall be fifty
years with options to renew for an additional fifty years. Lease
payments shall be lump sum payments for the entire term of the lease at
the beginning of the lease. The department shall calculate such lump
sum payments using professional appraisal standards. These lease
payments may not exceed the fee simple purchase price based on current
fair market value and shall be deposited by the department to the

appropriations. Authorized costs include the actual cost of
appraisals, staff time, environmental reviews, surveys, and other
similar costs.
(((5))) (4) Intergrant exchanges between common school and other

(((6))) (5) 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. Transfer and lease agreements for
properties identified in subsection (1) of this section must include

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))) (7) The department shall execute trust land transfers that,
after the deduction of reasonable costs as provided in subsection
(((4))) (3) of this section, eighty percent of the total value of
transferred property is timber value and is deposited in the common
school construction account. To achieve the eighty percent
requirement, the department may choose to lease properties originally
intended as transfers.
(((9))) (8) On June 30, 2009, the state treasurer shall transfer
all remaining uncommitted funds from this appropriation to the common
school construction account and the appropriations in this section
shall be reduced by an equivalent amount.

Conversion Land Acquisition (08-1-950)
The appropriations in this section are subject to the following
conditions and limitations: The appropriations are provided solely for
acquisition of working forest lands at risk of conversion to nonforest
uses. The legislature finds that the chronic loss of working forest
lands threatens the long-term prospects of the timber products
industry, which in turn threatens the long-term economic return for the
beneficiaries of state trust lands. Acquisition of these conversion
lands is intended to help stabilize the primary source of revenue to
trust land beneficiaries. The department shall submit a report to the
appropriate committees of the legislature by October 1, 2008,
indicating the lands purchased under this section, showing the
locations, acres, purchase price, and within that purchase price, the
value of the property attributed to the future value of timber harvests
given an expected rate of return for timber lands, and the value of the
property attributed to future development of the property. It is the
intention of the legislature to lease or otherwise acquire the
development rights of these conversion lands and retain them as long-term working forest lands under the sustainable harvest plan. Working
forest lands acquired under this section shall be managed at a level
equal to or greater than seventy-five percent of the expected harvest
under the sustainable harvest plan. The appropriation provided in this
section shall lapse unless chapter 504, Laws of 2007, or similar
provisions contained in other legislation, is enacted prior to June 30,
2007. No amounts appropriated in this section shall be expended on the
central cascade land exchange unless one of the two following
conditions are met: (1) The four Stemilt parcels in T21R20E are
excluded from the exchange; or (2) the four Stemilt parcels in T21R20E
are included in the exchange and the department and Chelan county, as
chair of the Stemilt partnership, agree on a plan for eventual
ownership, disposition, and management of the four Stemilt parcels.
The department shall manage cash balances in the natural resources real
property replacement account such that cash balances are sufficient for
the treasurer transfers required in section 6030 of this act. The
department may also transfer funds from the land bank subaccount of the
resource management cost account to the natural resources real property
replacement account to ensure sufficient cash balances.

foot eligibility, kindergarten student headcount shall not be reduced
by fifty percent.
(2) The legislature has made a commitment to phase in all-day
kindergarten programs beginning with the 2007-08 school year. However,
the legislature finds that one potential barrier to successful

that meet the requirements of an all-day kindergarten program. The
office of the superintendent of public instruction, in consultation
with the school facilities citizen advisory panel, shall examine
alternatives for addressing school facilities needs for all-day
kindergarten programs, including adapting existing unused space,
creating innovative public-private partnerships and partnerships with
early learning providers, shifting the location of current programs

requirements: (a) Upon completion of the purchase of the property, the
seller shall retain $5,750,000 of the sale proceeds in a restricted
investment account, reserving such funds for capital costs associated
with development of its principal heritage center to be located within
the city of Seattle. Principal and accrued earnings in such an account
shall be available for expenditure by the seller when the seller or the
city of Seattle has executed a construction contract for either a new
facility or improvements to an existing structure to serve as the
principal heritage center to be operated by the seller within the city;
and (b) in the event that the conditions of (a) of this subsection are
not met by June 30, 2017, the entire amount in the restricted account
shall be transferred to the state general fund and shall represent a
recovery of the state's contribution towards the development of the
museum. In the event of such a transfer, the rightful ownership of the
property by the Washington state convention and trade center shall not
be impaired.
(8) Department of information services: Enter into a financing
contract for an amount approved by the office of financial management
for costs and financing expenses and required reserves pursuant to
chapter 39.94 RCW to lease develop or lease purchase a state general
office building and facilities for the department of information
services on the state-owned property called "the Wheeler block" in
Olympia. The office buildings shall be constructed and financed so
that agencies occupancy costs per gross square foot or per employee
will not exceed 110 percent of comparable private market rental rates
per gross square foot or per employee. The comparable general office
space rate shall be calculated based on recent Thurston county leases
of new space of at least 100,000 rentable square feet adjusted for
known escalation clauses, expected inflation, and differences in the
level of service provided by the comparable leases as determined by the
department in consultation with the department of general
administration. In addition to the department of information services,
state agency tenants shall include the consolidation of state patrol
offices and general office facilities for small agencies and offices.
The department of information services shall design and operate the
general office facilities for small agencies and offices as a
demonstration of the efficiencies gained from the integration of office
space and telecommunications and computer technology. The
demonstration project shall provide office space, furniture,
telecommunications, and computer technology as a single package. The
facility shall be designed so that small agencies and offices can move
in and out of the facility without the typical moving expenses that
result from individual agency ownership of furniture and technology.
The facility for small agencies and offices shall also provide for
staffing and space efficiencies resulting from central reception,
support services, and spaces. The office of financial management shall
certify to the state treasurer: (a) The project description and dollar
amount; and (b) that all requirements of this subsection (8) have been
met. Should the department of information services choose to use a
financing contract that does not provide for the issuance of
certificates of participation, the financing contract shall be subject
to approval by the state finance committee as required by RCW
39.94.010. In approving a financing contract not providing for the use
of certificates of participation, the state finance committee should be
reasonably certain that the contract is excluded from the computation
of indebtedness, particularly that the contract is not backed by the
full faith and credit of the state and the legislature is expressly not
obligated to appropriate funds to make payments. For purposes of this
section, "financing contract" includes but is not limited to a
certificate of participation and tax exempt financing similar to that
authorized in RCW 47.79.140.
