Establish Alaska Building Fund
An Act establishing the Alaska public building fund; and providing for an effective date
For Immediate Release: February 26, 1999
Contact: Representative Jeannette James at (907) 465-3743.
Alaska has an enormous problem with maintenance of its public facilities. Funds are not allocated for on-going maintenance, so we are forced to continually repair and replace our existing facilities at great expense.
House Bill 112 would establish the Alaska public building fund as a special account in the general fund. It would also create an agreement whereby the occupants of state-owned buildings would pay "rent" into this fund. The money collected could be appropriated by the Legislature to pay use, management, operation, maintenance, and depreciation costs.
