Fiscal Analysis
The bill would authorize the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental
Retardation to transfer certain real property to the Texas Panhandle
Mental Health and Mental Retardation.
Methodology
The savings to General Revenue are based on 3% of the year 2000 facility
replacement value ($3.93 million) and represent the costs of major repair
and renovations that the facility would require. The industry norm for
these costs is 3-5%.
It is assumed that the transfer of the real property would result in a
loss of potential revenue to the Capital Trust Fund equal to the
appraised value of the property ($4,298,186) .
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated. The costs of facility repair and renovation to the local
community center are offset by savings it realizes from not having to
pay rent or debt service to acquire a facility in which to deliver
services.
