HEARING ON DELAYED PROJECTS APT TO BE POSTPONED — The scheduled hearing for higher education capital outlay in the Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Subcommittee No. 2 on Wednesday, April 14, 1999, will probably not include the late submitted projects. The projects approved by the Board of Governors at its November 1998 meeting, and not included in the Governor's initial budget, have been added by a Department of Finance letter in late March. The projects are those listed below:

DISTRICT/COLLEGE	PROJECT DESCRIPTION	PHASE	REQUEST	DOF LEVEL
Contra Costa CCD, Diablo Valley College	Life Sciences Renovation	p	368,000	195,000
Los Rios CCD, Folsom Lake Center	Instructional Facility, Phase IB	p	1,537,000	1,537,000
Mendocino-Lake CCD, Mendocino College	Science Building	p	194,000	243,000
Merced CCD, Merced College	Interdisciplinary Learning Center	p	219,000	276,000
Palomar CCD, Palomar College	High Technology Laboratory/Classroom Bldg.	p	715,000	942,000
Rancho Santiago CCD, Santiago Canyon	Learning Resource Center	p	278,000	278,000
Riverside CCD, Riverside College	Learning Resource Center	p	1,094,000	918,000
San Luis Obispo County CCD, Cuesta College	Library Addition/Renovation	p	472,000	472,000

State Center CCD, Madera Center	Academic Facilities, Ph. Ib	p	541,000	541,000
Victor Valley CCD, Victor Valley College	Advanced Technology Building	p	442,000	575,000
Yuba CCD, Woodland Center	Science Building	p	202,000	202,000
Proposed Additional Category B-2 New Start Sub-Total			20,751,000	21,110,000

I have spoken with the Legislative Analyst (LAO) and the Subcommittee consultant regarding these projects. The LAO indicate that they have not reviewed the projects and will not be ready to address any issues specific to the projects. The Subcommittee is generally amenable to giving time for review.

It is unlikely that any issues specific to any project will be discussed. If you choose not to attend the hearing due to the unlikelihood of the project being heard, nothing bad will happen. The worst case scenario is that the project will be put over to a subsequent hearing to allow time for your participation.

This is likely to occur regarding these 13 projects in the hearing scheduled in the Assembly for next Wednesday, April 21, 1999.

I will be at both hearings and report on the outcomes.
