                                   FISCAL NOTE
                               75th Regular Session

      TO: Honorable Kenneth Armbrister, Chair            IN RE:  House Bill No. 3585, As Engrossed
          Committee on State Affairs                              By: Greenberg
          Senate
          Austin, Texas
         
         
         
         
         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB3585 ( Relating 
to authorizing the General Services Commission to convey certain 
state-owned property to the City of Austin.) this office has 
detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB3585-As Engrossed
         
Implementing the provisions of the bill would result in a net 
impact of $0 to General Revenue Related Funds through the biennium 
ending August 31, 1999.
         
The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal 
basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions 
of the bill.

         
 
Fiscal Analysis
 
The bill would allow the General Services Commission to sell 
state property, located at Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, 
to the City of Austin.  Proceeds of the sale would be deposited 
into the state treasury and could only be used by the General 
Services Commission to relocate operations of the State Aircraft 
Pooling Board from Robert Mueller Municipal Airport to the Austin 
Bergstrom International Airport.
 
Methodolgy
 
It is estimated that the gain to general revenue from selling 
state property at Robert Mueller Municipal Airport would be 
$5 million.  It is assumed that the $5 million gain would be 
used to relocate the State Aircraft Pooling Board, resulting 
in no net impact to the General Revenue Fund.
The probable fiscal implications of implementing the provisions 
of the bill during each of the first five years following passage 
is estimated as follows:
 
Five Year Impact:

            Gain/(Loss) from   Savings/(Cost)

                               General Revenue Related Funds

               2002                    0
 
Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as 
the provisions of the bill are in effect.
          
The City of Austin anticipates that the estimated purchase price 
of $5 million will be adequately funded by the City of Austin 
Aviation Department capital fund.
