The state Department of Administration has identified several buildings and properties, including some in Madison, that could potentially be sold or leased in the next two years.

DOA Secretary Mike Huebsch provided a list of properties to the State Building Commission Tuesday. He emphasized that there is no plan to sell or lease any of the buildings at this time.

“No decisions have been made in this regard,” Huebsch wrote. “Any possible transactions must be prudent, logicial, and in full compliance with the relevant provisions” of the 2013-15 state budget.

The list includes all 32 state-owned heating and cooling plants, including the Charter Street plant that provides service to UW-Madison; the Badger Road State Office Building on Madison’s South Side, which houses the Department of Employee Trust Funds; the Knapp House, the former governor’s mansion that has housed education graduate students; a hangar at Dane County Regional Airport; and underutilized land at the Hill Farms State Transportation Building in Madison.

Other buildings listed around the state include telecommunications towers and related infrastructure, the Northern Wisconsin Center in Chippewa Falls, the Ethan Allen School in Wales, the Wiscraft Workshop Administration Buildings in Milwaukee and underutilized land at the Southern Wisconsin Center in Union Grove.

Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison, a Building Commission member, rejected the possibility of selling certain buildings, particularly if the state still has to use the services provided by the facility.

“It’s ripping off the taxpayers,” Risser said. “It would create another layer of middlemen who cash in on taxpayer dollars.”

DOA plans to determine the value of the properties and put together a cost-benefit analysis and other data to ensure any transactions follow the law, while providing value and reducing risk, Huebsch said.

Huebsch’s letter did not list the fair market value of the buildings “due to the complexity of such a determination as well as the negative impact premature disclosure of such information could have on any future negotiating process.”

The state budget required DOA to provide the list to the commission by July 1. The budget authorizes DOA to sell or lease state-owned property if the department determines it is in the best interest of the state.
