- Conduct effective management for the heating, cooling, and lighting of existing facilities with an increased emphasis on energy conservation activities.
- Provide project management for construction projects on state and federal property.
- Program: Army, Facilities Operation and Maintenance
- Original Funding Level: $954,576.00
- Summary of Budget Reductions: $97,946.00.
- Areas Reduced: All mandatory reductions plus all programmed Armory painting projects.
The exterior paint program insures that the exteriors of these armories will retain their structural integrity and enhance aesthetics. The 24 armories are recommended to be repainted every 8 years, or, three armories per year. The end of 2001 has brought the program on line and up to date for scheduling. The implementation of the base budget reduction will curtail this maintenance plan.
The elimination of upkeep for the exterior of buildings allows for more deterioration of the building materials and structure by allowing moisture and insects the opportunity to penetrate the walls and joints if left uncovered. If left unprotected, this deterioration becomes more costly to repair. The paint program preserves the exterior appearance of our state buildings, which in turn, reflects on the dignity of public ownership.
