COMMUNICATION FROM GOVERNOR

SURPLUS PROPERTY DISPOSITION PLAN NO. 1 OF 1985

The Secretary to the Governor presented the following communication from His Excellency, the Governor:

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Governor's Office

Harrisburg

March 18, 1985

To the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

By the authority vested in me by Article XXIV.4 of the act of ~~l~ 1, 1981 ( p . ~ . 143, p ~ ~ . 48) entitled 's~isposit ion of corn. monwealth Surplus Land," I retransmit herewith the 1984 Surplus Property Disposition Plan, which was originally submit- ted for your consideration during the past legislative session. Due to adjournment of the General Assembly sine die, however, there was insufficient time for both chambers to take final action upon the 1984 surplus property ~ i ~ ~ ~ ~ i ~ i ~ ~ plan.

The annual Surplus Property Disposition Plan, required by Act 48 of 1981, provides for the systematic management of Com- monwealth-owned real estate assets and the efficient disposition of surplus holdings. The Plan also ensures that all conveyances are made for fair consideration predicated upon fair market value.

Contained in the Plan for I984 are eight (8) properties whose usefulness to State Government has ceased. However, their desir- ability and value for other purposes is substantial. The properties vary in size, nature, and geographic locations. Any special con- siderations, such as zoning restrictions, retention of mineral rights, and easements and leases presently in effect, have been identified for each parcel.

Pursuant to Act 48 of 1981, the Plan was transmitted to the Chairmen and the Minority Chairmen of the House and Senate State Government Committees. The House and Senate Commit- tees conducted joint public hearings on September 18, 1984, and October 26, 1984, as a part of their review of the Plan and advised the Department of General Services of their findings.

The Department of General Services also invited public com- ments on the Plan through publication in the Pennsylvania Bulle- t&, Vol. 14, No. 35, Saturday, September 1, 1984. In addition, Pursuant to Act 48, the Department requested and received the Attorney General's review of the Plan for form and legality.

Legislative consideration of the sale of the contained in the Plan will result in substantial benefits to the Com- monwealth, including the return of idle real estate to local tax rolls, the reduction of state exposure to liability and other insurance risks, and the elimination of excessive security and mainte- nance costs.

I , therefore, again transmit to you and urge your approval of the 1984 Surplus Property Disposition Plan.

Mr. PETRARCA. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Repre~entative Pitts is correct. There was a misprint in Leg-

islative Reference. Instead of 14 weeks, it was 13 weeks. It is being corrected right now up in Legislative Reference.

The reason the resolution was put in in the first place is because, as you all know, Pennsylvania has been devastated with all unemployment compensation. This is just t o extend this for 1 more year until we work out our problem. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

CONSIDERATION OF HR 25 RESUMED / car" Gruitza Murphy Taylor, F. E. Cawley Gruppo Nahill Taylor, J. J.



Mr. PETRARCA. Mr. Speaker, we sent up to Legislative Reference a correction to HR 25 to add the 1 day like Repre- sentative Pitts said, but there is a delay up there, and not to hold the House any longer, I talked to Representative Mand- erino and he is in concurrence, along with Representative Pitts, that we just suspend the rules, add the 1 day, and we will get out of here.

Mr. Pitts, is that all right with you? Mr. PITTS. Instead of 1 day, you meant 1 week. Change 13

to 14; that is the proposed amendment, I think. Mr. PETRAKCA. From 13 weeks to 14 weeks. Yes, Mr.

Speaker. The SPEAKER pro tempore. House rules would forbid this

action on a bill, hut since the proposal before us is a resolution and not a bill, the Chair will permit this action with the approval of the House at this time.

Mr. PETRARCA. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

RULES SUSPENDED


Mr. PETRARCA. Mr. Speaker, 1 move that the rules be temporarily suspended for the purpose of considering an amendment to HR 25 which is not yet in print.

On the question, Will the House agree to the motion?

Irvis, Speaker

A majority of the members elected to the House having voted in the affirmative, the question was determined in the affirmative and the motion was agreed to.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The rules are temporarily suspended at this time for the purpose of that change in HR 25.

Will Mr. Pitts please make the motion to make the change that he desires, and then we will recognize the minority leader, Mr. Ryan. Or does Mr. Ryan prefer to speak prior to the motion?

Mr. RYAN. Yes. Mr. Speaker, thank you. I just wanted to point out to the members and really to the

Speaker that what we have done is something very unusual. 1 concurred in it; I voted with it; and it was done really to accel- erate today's meeting with a resolution. I would not want this House or the Speaker to think for a moment that we would concur in actions such as this on a bill pending before the House.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair thanks the gentleman, and the Chair also stated that it being a resolution was
