A RESOLUTION of the Board of Trustees of Northern Michigan University (i) approving (a) a form of construction and completion assurance agreement (the "Construction Agreement"), by and among the State Building Authority (the "Authority"), the State of Michigan (the "State") and the Board of Trustees of Northern Michigan University, a Michigan constitutional body corporate (the "Educational Institution"), providing for the rights, duties and obligations of the Authority, the State and the Educational Institution with respect to the Educational Institution's Fine and Practical Arts Project and the site therefor (the "Facility") during the construction, renovation and/or equipping of the Facility and prior to the conveyance of the Facility to the Authority, (b) the conveyance of the Facility to the Authority, (c) a lease (the "Lease"), by and among the Authority, the Educational Institution and the State, for the purpose of leasing the Facility to the State and the Educational Institution and (d) an easement agreement (the "Easement Agreement") between the Authority and the Educational Institution, if necessary in connection with the entering into of the Lease, and (ii) providing for other matters related thereto.

 

WHEREAS, the Authority has been incorporated under and pursuant to the provisions of Act No. 183, Public Acts of Michigan, 1964, as amended ("Act 183"), for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, furnishing, equipping, owning, improving, enlarging, operating, mortgaging and maintaining buildings, necessary parking structures or lots and facilities, and sites therefor, for the use of the State, including institutions of higher education created pursuant to Section 4, 5, 6 or 7 of Article 8 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 (the "State Constitution"), or any of its agencies; and

 

WHEREAS, the Educational Institution has been maintained and created pursuant to Sections 4 and 6  of Article 8 of the State Constitution; and

 

WHEREAS, the State and the Educational Institution desire that the Authority finance the acquisition, construction, renovation and/or equipping of the Facility in consideration of (i) the Educational Institution granting a license to the Authority to enter upon the site of the Facility (the "Site") in order to undertake such construction, renovation and/or equipping, (ii) the Educational Institution undertaking on behalf of the Authority the oversight of such construction, renovation and/or equipping and (iii) the Educational Institution conveying the Facility to the Authority on or prior to the date of its completion, and the Authority is willing to provide such financing in consideration of the items described above; and

 

WHEREAS, in accordance with the Construction Agreement, the State and the Educational Institution desire that the Authority acquire the Facility on or prior to the date of its completion, and lease the same to the State and the Educational Institution, and the Authority is willing to acquire the Facility and lease the same to the State and the Educational Institution; and

 

WHEREAS, the Site is presently owned by the Educational Institution, the Facility will be constructed by the Educational Institution on behalf of the Authority, and it is intended that the Site and the Facility be conveyed to the Authority by the Educational Institution; and

 

WHEREAS, the acquisition of the Facility by the Authority for use by and lease to the Educational Institution and the State is necessary in order for the State and the Educational Institution to carry out necessary governmental functions and to provide necessary services to the people of the State as mandated or permitted by constitution and law, and the use of Act 183 to accomplish such acquisition represents the most practical means to that end at the lowest cost to the State and the Educational Institution; and

 

WHEREAS, Section 7 of Act 183 provides that the Lease shall be approved by the Authority, by the State Administrative Board of the State and by concurrent resolution of the Legislature of the State concurred in by a majority of the members elected to and serving in each house and if the Lease is for an institution of higher education existing or created pursuant to Section 4, 5, 6 or 7 of Article 8 of the State Constitution, then in addition, the Lease shall be authorized by the institution of higher education and signed by its authorized officers and, accordingly, it is necessary that the Educational Institution authorize and approve the Lease; and

 

WHEREAS, if it is determined that (i) the Authority will require an easement from a public road to the Facility over real property owned by the Educational Institution so that the Authority has access to the Facility, (ii) the Educational Institution will require for future use certain easements through the Facility, (iii) the Authority and the Educational Institution will require an agreement to share a common structural wall or (iv) the Authority will require an easement over real property owned by the Educational Institution so that the Authority has sufficient parking available in connection with the reasonable use of the Facility, then in order to meet any such requirement, it may be necessary for authorized officers of the Educational Institution to approve an Easement Agreement to provide for such easements or the sharing of a common structural wall, as the case may be;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION THAT:

 

             1.        The plans for the Facility, as filed with the Educational Institution, are hereby approved, and the execution and delivery, for and on behalf of the Educational Institution, by the Vice President for Finance and Administration or other appropriate officer of the Educational Institution of the architectural and construction contracts for the Facility are hereby ratified, confirmed and approved.
