SENATOR TAYLOR brought SB 275 (DISPOSAL OF REAL PROPERTY BY DOTPF) ) before the committee as the next order of business. RON LIND, Director, Administrative Services, Department of Transportation & Public Facilities, explained the legislation gives the authority to dispose of land at airports or at facility sites just as they have been doing for the highway excess properties. Currently, if they have an airport site and there is some land they want to trade with the municipality or they want to dispose of to a municipality, they have to notify the Department of Natural Resources who then works with the municipality and DOT, and SB 275 is an attempt to put the process all in one agency. Number 245 SENATOR TAYLOR asked for an explanation of the differences in a proposed committee substitute that was before the committee. MR. LIND said the difference basically relates to a concern identified by the Department of Natural Resources. There are numerous municipalities that still have land entitlements and they wanted to assure that if they are actually conveying the land to a municipality and not trading it for another piece of property, that that would count against the municipal land entitlement. The same section in the bill expanded it in a minor way to take care of public facility sites as opposed to just airport sites. Number 280 SENATOR LITTLE asked if it was correct that if the municipality purchases the land for full price, it would not be credited against their land entitlement, and MR. LIND acknowledged that was correct. Number 295 SENATOR JACKO moved that CSSB 275(JUD) be adopted. Hearing no objection, the motion carried. SENATOR JACKO moved that CSSB 275(JUD) be passed out of committee with individual recommendations. Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
