SYNOPSIS

a long-range master plan of development
for the State Capitol Building and
remaining portions of the legislative
complex.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND
RECOMMENDATIONS

NONCOMPLIANCE WITH LEGISLATIVE
COMMISSION REORGANIZATION ACT OF 1984

The Office has not implemented a long-
range master plan of development for
the State Capitol building and the
remaining portions of the legislative
complex that addresses the improvement,
construction, historic preservation,
restoration, maintenance, repair, and
landscaping needs of the State Capitol
Building and the remaining portions of
the legislative complex.  (Finding 1,
pages 8-9)  This finding has been
repeated since 2009.

We recommended the Office take the
appropriate actions to implement a
long-range master plan as required by
State statute.

The Office stated they will continue to
take action to implement a long-range
master plan when a capital budget is
passed and once the Office has Board
approval to move forward.  (For the
previous Office response, see Digest
Footnote #1.)
