SIGNIFICANT ISSUES

•

Section 13-6-3 NMSA 1978 requires ratification and approval of any trade of real

property belonging to a state agency that involves a consideration of one hundred

thousand dollars ($100,000) or more.

•

The property control division of the general services department has title to a building

located on the university of New Mexico campus in Bernalillo county, "the state of New

Mexico health department building currently housing the state laboratory, the office of

the medical investigator and the veterinarian diagnostic services and located at 700

Camino de Salud on land owned by the Board of Regents of the University of New

Mexico"

•

The property will no longer be needed by the state when the new state laboratory is

finished and should be sold to the Board of Regents of the University of New Mexico for

cash or property or services in lieu of cash, traded for real estate that is owned by the

Board of Regents of the University of New Mexico and located in close proximity to the

new state laboratory or otherwise transferred to the Board of Regents of the University of

New Mexico by a combination of such a sale and trade

•

Senate Joint Resolution 12 of the first session of the forty-fifth legislature ratified and

approved a proposed sale of the building to the Board of Regents of the University of

New Mexico but such a sale is no longer desired;
