SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Joint Resolution 14 authorizes the Property Control Division of the General Services De-
partment (GSD) to sell state-owned land at 3235 South Halagueno in Carlsbad, 600 West Arring-
ton in Farmington, 301 West De Vargas Street in Santa Fe and at South Alameda in Las Cruces
for amount no less than the appraised value established by the Taxation and Revenue Depart-
ment. The County of Santa Fe would have the right of first refusal to purchase the Santa Fe
property. GSD would consult with the U.S. Department of Labor as to the disposition of sale
proceeds.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The proposed transactions would result in additional revenues from the sale of the properties. It
is not clear what restrictions would be placed on the revenues due to the source of funding to
purchase and construct these buildings. Under the Reed Act, the federal government may retain
equity in the buildings and may constrain use of these revenues. The resolution includes a re-
quirement to consult with U.S. DOL prior to using sale proceeds.
To the extent that a land sale facilitates consolidation of the operations from DOL, HSD or other
agencies into one-stop centers, the resolution may result in lower cost for state agencies for utili-
ties and maintenance of other buildings and would improve access to state services.
