Senate Resolution No. 119.

A resolution to honor K-9 State Trooper Fix on the occasion of his retirement from the Bay City State Police Post.

Whereas, State Trooper Fix began his tenure as a K-9 trooper at the Bay City State Police Post in 1995, and after a short while, found his permanent home with handler Trooper Joseph LaBelle; and

Whereas, On the first tracking Fix was assigned to, he was able to successfully apprehend a homicide suspect in the city of Saginaw, therefore, starting his career off on a stellar note; and

Whereas, During his first six months of duty, Trooper Fix was also placed on the case to track a suspected murderer, who was one of Michigan's top ten most wanted individuals, and was able to find him with the help of a SWAT Team in Clare County after a three-mile track; and

Whereas, In the winter of 1995, Fix continued his success as a K-9 trooper and was able to disarm a suspect in Gladwin County, who had assaulted a family member, and held the individual until the SWAT Team could reach the site; and

Whereas, During August 1998, Trooper Fix captured an attempted homicide suspect in Ogemaw County, and again, disarmed the criminal and held him until the SWAT Team was able to arrest the man; and

Whereas, In March 1999, Fix, while en route to a tracking in northern Michigan, was hit by a snowplow during a blizzard. He was badly injured, and the Department of State Police was prompted to consider retiring him; and

Whereas, Against all odds, he underwent surgery at the Veterinary Hospital at Michigan State University, where he was given a 30 percent chance of full recovery; and

Whereas, After almost seven months of rehabilitation, Trooper Fix was brought back to his home in Bay City and began the second half of his amazing career as a K-9 trooper; and

Whereas, Fix continued his amazing career in July 2000 by locating a suspect who had assaulted a sheriff in Arenac County, while working with a SWAT Team and led them to the swamp where the criminal was hiding; and

Whereas, In one of his most heroic efforts after his injury, Fix saved the life of an elderly man with Alzheimer's by tracking him down after he was reported missing during a snowstorm in December 2000; and

Whereas, During the last track Trooper Fix was part of in September 2001, after a three-mile pursuit, he apprehended an individual who had broken free from the Saginaw County Sheriff's Department and had eluded the authorities; and

Whereas, Fix has been honored by his community on many occasions, specifically for his impressive record as a narcotics dog and an instructional tool in community safety programs; and

Whereas, Since 1995, K-9 Trooper Fix has shared his life with Trooper Joseph LaBelle and his family; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we hereby honor K-9 State Trooper Fix on the occasion of his retirement from the Bay City State Police Post and his handler Trooper Joseph LaBelle; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Trooper Joseph LaBelle as evidence of our respect and heartfelt thanks.

Whereas, Section 5 of 1964 PA 183, as amended, being MCL § 830.415, requires the approval of the Board of Trustees of Washtenaw Community College (the "Educational Institution"), the State Administrative Board, and the Michigan Legislature by concurrent resolution concurred in by a majority of the members elected to and serving in each house, with the votes and names of the members voting thereon entered in the journal, before land owned by the Educational Institution may be conveyed to the State Building Authority (the "Authority"); and

Whereas, The site for the Technology Education Building (the "Facility") is currently owned by the Educational Institution; and

Whereas, Section 7 of 1964 PA 183, as amended, being MCL § 830.417, requires the approval of the State Administrative Board and the Michigan Legislature by concurrent resolution concurred in by a majority of the members elected to and serving in each house, with the votes and names of the members voting thereon entered in the journal, before the State of Michigan (the "State") may enter into a lease with the Authority upon a showing of a public purpose; and

Whereas, Providing additional space to be used by the Educational Institution pursuant to the lease for the Facility is a recognized public purpose; and

Whereas, The Executive Director of the Authority has furnished the Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee of the Legislature with information and documents relative to the Lease; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the Total Facility Cost for the Washtenaw Community College Technology Education Building shall not exceed $21,121,600 (the Authority share is $10,499,900, the State General Fund/General Purpose share is $100, and the Educational Institution share is $10,621,600), plus interest charges on monies advanced by the State to meet the construction cash flow requirements of the Facility, if any, of which not more than $10,499,900, plus interest charges on monies advanced by the State to meet the construction cash flow requirements of the Facility, if any, shall be financed from bonds issued by the Authority, exclusive of amounts necessary for reserves, interest, or other nonconstruction costs; and be it further

Resolved, That the Legislature hereby approves the necessary conveyances of property to the Authority as more particularly described in the Lease and attachments thereto; and be it further

Resolved, That the annual amounts of "True Rental" for the Facility shall be within or below the range of $885,000 and $1,110,000, as shall reflect variations that may occur in the components upon which the appraisal of True Rental was based, which amounts shall be certified by the appraiser and thereafter approved by the State Administrative Board and the Authority as authorized by 1964 PA 183, as amended; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this concurrent resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Secretary of State, the Authority, the Board of Trustees of Washtenaw Community College, and the State Budget Director.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the concurrent resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Hammerstrom moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 43.

A concurrent resolution to change the scope of the Computer Technology and Academic Center project at Kellogg Community College.

Whereas, The Kellogg Community College-Computer Technology and Academic Center renovation and construction project was authorized with a total cost of $12,000,000 in 1998 PA 538; and

Whereas, Kellogg Community College has requested to include additional campus-wide improvements in the project scope, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration upgrades and pedestrian walkways; and

Whereas, Kellogg Community College has estimated that the total cost to construct these improvements is $4,517,000; and

Whereas, Kellogg Community College has agreed to fund the increase in the project cost of $4,517,000, with the state commitment remaining at $5,999,900; and

Whereas, Pursuant to section 246 of 1984 PA 431, as amended, being MCL § 18.1246, the authorized cost of projects shall only be established or revised by specific reference in a budget act, by concurrent resolution adopted by both houses of the legislature, or inferred by the total amount of any appropriations made to complete plans and construction; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the Michigan Legislature recognizes the need to increase the total authorized cost to construct the new Kellogg Community College-Computer Technology and Academic Center project to an amount not to exceed $16,517,000 (State Building Authority share $5,999,900; State General Fund/General Purpose share $100; and the Kellogg Community College share $10,517,000); and that the legislature intends to continue to appropriate funds for construction subject to the limitations herein stated, in amounts not to exceed the authorized cost, subject to the ordinary vicissitudes of the legislative process; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the State Budget Director, the Director of the Department of Management and Budget, and Kellogg Community College.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the concurrent resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Hammerstrom moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,

Statements

Senators Shugars, McManus, Koivisto and Gougeon asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Shugars' statement is as follows:

I received a copy of a letter to the editor of the Kalamazoo Gazette, and I would like to read it. I think it is very thought-provoking on how much God is in our society. It is by two middle school children the title is, "Blessing Brings Peace."

"As our nation is facing this great time of tragedy people all around our country are looking to God. We see the words 'God Bless America' written on billboards and businesses; many of us find these words to be of great comfort in our time of loss. However, our schools feel that we can not even mention God's name after something like this has happened. In the halls of West Middle School the words 'bless America' were posted. We were left as students to wonder who is suppose to bless America? I mean come on, a student or teacher blessing America is not really going to make a difference, even our countries leaders are turning to God for guidance in these present troubles, so why, ask, can't our schools.

We find this troubling and discouraging that we have drifted so far from God that we can not even ask for his blessings in the schools for fear of offending someone. We address this issue with hopes that our school will see that whether all students believe that God exists simply asking for his blessings brings peace to many of us."

This is by two middle school students, Amy and Amanda Norris.

Senator McManus' statement is as follows:

I want to make a statement this morning thanking the body in total, individual Senators, clerks, and others who mailed me notes and letters and provided flowers and so on, on the death of my brother last week. It's all very much appreciated by myself and by the whole McManus family.

My brother fought the battle in Texas from February until ten days ago. He finally just gave out, and he is the youngest brother in the family. It is a very tragic loss from that standpoint, but his quality of life had deteriorated to where he is probably in a better place now.

My purpose this morning, though, is to thank you all for the assistance you gave me during the process.

Senator Koivisto's statement is as follows:

I just want to make note for the body that we had a major economic event that happened yesterday that we are paying very close attention to in the Upper Peninsula. Bethlehem Steel announced that they are filing for bankruptcy. We have some legislation here that we have been trying to move that would give steel companies a tax break for using hematite oil, which is produced in my particular area. It has just been bogged down; we have gotten nowhere with it.

Once again, we have a steel company declare for bankruptcy. We have a couple steel companies in this state that could use a little help.

I just wanted to make a note of what's happening economically because it is going to come home to roost here with our minds and with the other steel companies that are currently headquartered in Michigan. We have a measure that would help. If you would make an inquiry to myself, I will tell you where that bill is, but we are making no progress with it, unfortunately.

Senator Gougeon's statement is as follows:

Members will recall last week, I spoke for a moment on the floor about our K-9 dog Fix from Bay City and his handler Joe LaBelle. Today there is a resolution commending the career of Fix and Trooper Joe LaBelle. I would encourage all members who have not had an opportunity to sign on to the Senate resolution to do so before we close today.

I want to thank particularly Colonel Robinson and others who have sent me a letter indicating that this dog will indeed have a life here in Lansing, and in fact, will not be euthanized as was my concern previously. The resolution will be presented later this month at the Bay City State Police Post. If any of the Senators would like to attend, I will provide you with additional details.

By unanimous consent the Senate returned to the order of
