08:20 AM -- Department of Labor and Employment FY 2009-10 Cash-Funded Requests

Mr. Mike Cullen, Director of the Unemployment Insurance Program, Division of Employment and Training, Department of Labor and Employment, came to the table to present two FY 2009-10 cash-funded capital construction requests. Committee members were provided with descriptions of the Internet Self-Service project and the Roof Replacement project at 251 East 12th Avenue, both prepared by Legislative Council Staff (Attachment G). Mr. Cullen described both projects, and responded to comments from the committee. Representative Sonnenberg expressed support for the projects, but voiced concern about approving cash spending authority for work that is not urgent and can wait. He stated that agencies should make sure that cash funds are spent on work that is truly necessary at this time.

Representative McFadyen expressed concern with receiving a draft letter from the Department of Personnel and Administration, which was distributed to committee members (see Attachment H), in response to a request for information about the Department of Corrections' bid for a new central office in Colorado Springs. She suggested that the committee request additional and more detailed information about the bid process. Ms. Esgar returned to the table and explained that a full review of the bid process was never completed, but was stopped mid-stream because the project was withdrawn. Ms. Esgar offered to work with Representative McFadyen to provide the information.
