SYNOPSIS

• (17-01) The Office has not completed or
implemented a long-range master plan of
development for the State’s Capitol Building
and legislative complex.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

UNIMPLEMENTED LONG-RANGE MASTER PLAN

The Office of the Architect of the Capitol
(Office) has not completed or implemented a
long-range master plan of development for the
State’s Capitol Building and legislative
complex.

During testing, we noted the Office has not
completed or implemented a long-range master
plan of development for the State Capitol
Building and the remaining portions of the
legislative complex that addresses the
improvement, construction, historic
preservation, restoration, maintenance,
repair, and landscaping needs of the State
Capitol Building and the remaining portions
of the legislative complex.  (Finding 1,
pages 9-10)  This finding has been repeated
since 2009.

We recommended the Office take appropriate
action to implement its long-range master
plan, or seek a legislative remedy.

Office officials accepted our recommendation,
noting they will continue to take action to
implement a long-range master plan.  (For the
previous Office response, see Digest Footnote
#1)
