The committee was called to order. A quorum was present.
09:35 - Colorado School of Mines
Dr. John Trefny, President of Colorado School of Mines (Mines), gave an overview of the functions and building deficiencies of the Center for Teaching and Learning Media (formerly the Green Center), and the need for approval of an emergency supplemental request. The college requests an emergency supplemental of $1,550,997 for the completion of an addition to the center in FY2005-06 in order to avoid escalating construction costs. Attachment A, prepared by Legislative Council Staff, outlines the supplemental request. Attachment B is a Mines response to a staff question from Attachment A. Dr. Trefny explained that the bid for the project was updated as of December 9.
In response to a question regarding funding of the project through private donations, Dr. Trefny clarified that the original Green Center project was for $25 million for asbestos abatement and other improvements. Since then, the scope of the project has shifted. This is the first stage of the larger project. A discussion of this point ensued. Mr. Jim Cole, a lobbyist for Mines, explained that the Joint Budget Committee (JBC) authorized $2.3 million with a footnote, which footnote was later vetoed by the governor.
