SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 82
(By Senators Bowman, Boley, Jenkins, Kessler, Lanham, McCabe, Minard, Minear, Weeks and White)
[Originating in the Committee on Government Organization]

Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study placing the maintenance of the Cultural Center under the direction of the General Services Division in the Department of Administration.

Whereas, The Director of General Services Division currently has responsibility for all state buildings on the grounds of the Capitol, except the Cultural Center; and
Whereas, The Cultural Center has special security and maintenance requirements because it offers weekend and evening hours, maintains the West Virginia Veterans Memorial and archives priceless artifacts, historical documents and art collections; and
Whereas, The Cultural Center currently hires and trains its own staff so that these unique maintenance issues are addressed ; and
Whereas, It is unclear whether there would be a cost savings to the state to have the General Services Division oversee the maintenance of the Cultural Center; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby requested to study placing the maintenance of the Cultural Center under the direction of the General Services Division in the Department of Administration ; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2006, on its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance.
