LD 2237, Page 1 - 119th Legislature, FIRST REGULAR Session

	Sec. 1. Authorization for lease for emergency youth shelter. Resolved: That,
notwithstanding the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 5, chapter 154,
the Commissioner of Corrections and the Commissioner of
Administrative and Financial Services may enter into a ground
lease with Youth Alternatives, Inc. for up to 2 acres of land
outside the fence of the Maine Youth Center in South Portland for
an emergency youth shelter and for no other purpose. The
original term of the ground lease may be for up to 30 years with
those renewal options and other provisions as the commissioners
in their discretion determine appropriate as long as the
provisions are compatible with programs at the adjacent Maine
Youth Center. The monthly rental fee may be reduced below market
rates in the commissioners' discretion.

FISCAL NOTE

The Department of Administrative and Financial Services and
the Department of Corrections will incur some minor additional
costs to negotiate a lease for the rental of up to 2 acres of
land near the Maine Youth Center. These costs can be absorbed
within the departments' existing budgeted resources.

This bill authorizes the commissioners of these departments to
set a monthly rental fee below market rates. The rental fee to
be charged is not expected to significantly increase General Fund
revenue.

SUMMARY

This resolve authorizes the Commissioner of Corrections and
the Commissioner of Administrative and Financial Services to
enter into a lease with Youth Alternatives, Inc. for an emergency
youth shelter.
