Building Commission
April 4, 2005
The Honorable, The Legislature:
Section
13.48(2)(e) stipulates that the Wisconsin State Building Commission shall report to the Legislature at each regular session the progress on projects authorized in the two preceding and current biennia. This report is submitted in accordance with that provision and covers the period from July 1999 through December 2004. Projects having budgets over $100,000 are listed in detail. Those of lesser amounts have been grouped for each agency as one item for the biennium in which they were authorized.
In summary, during this five and a half year period, the Building Commission approved projects with a total value of $1,871,768,474.05. Of that amount, $1,373,501,878.06 has been spent or encumbered, leaving a balance of $498,266,595.99 to be used to complete projects in progress. The sources of funds for the projects are either cash or borrowed funds which flow through the Building Trust Fund, the Capital Improvement fund, or agency operating budgets.
Each section of this report is organized by the state agency for whom the facilities are being built. The Wisconsin State Controller's Office and user agencies have provided information presented in this report. Building Commission staff has not attempted to verify the figures that were obtained by user agencies. The staff has merely assembled the material provided by each agency and presents it for your review.
Sincerely,
ROBERT G. CRAMER
Secretary
