FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the City of St. Louis did not respond to our fiscal impact request.



Officials from the Office of the Governor (GOV) did not respond to our fiscal impact request. However, in response to a similar proposal from the current session, GOV assumed the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agency.



Officials from the Office of the Attorney General assume costs that could result from passage of this proposal could be absorbed within existing resources.



Officials from the Office of Administration - Division of Design and Construction (COA) note they currently occupy 2000 square feet in this building at no cost. If sold, COA would be required to pay rent to the new owner or find other space. Including utilities and janitorial costs, COA's annual cost would be $42,000. COA assumes even though costs would approximate $42,000 per year for replacement space, this cost would be offset by the sale value of the property. COA states the property value is unknown at this time but would be well in excess of $42,000.



Oversight assumes the sale of property would occur in FY 2003, at an unknown price, resulting in unknown income in FY 2003 and a loss of $42,000 annually thereafter.
