SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Joint Resolution 12, Granting Approval to GSD for the Transfer of Approximately Two
Acres of Land and Improvements in Taos County from GSD to the Town of Taos, authorizes the
transfer of approximately two acres of land and improvements located in Taos County to the
Town of Taos. A private non-profit entity currently provides alcoholism counseling and
detoxification services in the facility. The Property Control Division (PCD) of the General
Services Department (GSD) owns the site. The transfer will be contingent upon the Town of
Taos paying the expenses to transfer title. The Capitol Buildings Planning Commission will
review the transfer prior to closing.
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES
GSD notes that:
•
The program housed in the facility is the Taos Detox Center, which has provided
rehabilitation and detoxification services for many years. The Center is a not a state agency,
and the property transfer to a local entity achieves proper alignment of ownership and
responsibility for the program, which is a local government function.
