Bill > S108

This bill authorizes Johnston County to construct, renovate, improve, and repair buildings on the campuses of Johnston Community College, bypassing certain standard state regulations for community college construction. The county can finance these construction projects through various means, including using Article 8 of Chapter 159 of the General Statutes and may use county property as security for financing agreements. While the county is exempt from some typical construction regulations, it must still comply with specific state articles related to building standards. Before beginning any construction, the county and the college's Board of Trustees must create a memorandum of understanding that outlines each party's roles and responsibilities to ensure timely and cost-effective project completion. Once construction is finished, the county will lease the new or improved buildings to the college under mutually agreed terms. The bill is effective immediately and applies specifically to construction projects coordinated by the county for the college's use and purposes.
