Sec. 3.  The direct appropriations made by this act to provide for Capital Improvements under Sections 4, 5, and 6 of this act shall be disbursed for the purposes provided by this act upon warrants drawn by the State Disbursing Officer, which warrants shall not be drawn for any State institution, department, or agency until a requisition has been approved by the Director of the Budget and which requisition shall be approved only after full compliance with the Executive Budget Act, Article 1, Chapter 143, of the General Statutes. Any officer of this State or executive head of any institution, or any director, trustee, or commissioner of any State institution, department, or agency to which a direct or self-liquidating appropriation is made under the provisions of this act who votes for or aids in spending more money for any improvement for any institution, department, or agency than is appropriated therefor except as hereinafter provided, may be removed from office by the Governor. Any additional monies which may be received by means of a grant or grants from the United States of America or any agency or department thereof, or from any other source to aid in financing the cost of any of the improvements herein referred to may be placed by the State Treasurer in the same fund or in a separate fund and, to the extent permitted by terms of such grant or grants, with the approval of the Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission, shall be disbursed in the same manner and for the same purposes mentioned in this act, as detailed in Volume III of the 1971-73 Budget. Appropriations for purchase of land in Section 4 of this act are consolidated into one appropriation to the Department of Administration. Self-liquidating appropriations for student housing are on the basis of four thousand four hundred dollars ($4,400.00) per student and shall not exceed this amount per student for the stated project including equipment and furnishings. Prior to the execution of design or construction contracts in respect to projects to be financed in whole or in part with self-liquidating appropriations the Advisory Budget Commission shall approve the method of financing such project. Where direct appropriations are provided in this act for the purpose of furnishing movable equipment for any project, such funds for equipment shall not be subject to transfer into construction accounts except as authorized by the Advisory Budget Commission. However, fixed equipment funds so provided may be expended under construction accounts to the specific amount required for equipment attached or connected to the building for which it is intended.

Sec. 7.  When each project appropriated for in Section 4 of this act is placed under construction contract, direct appropriations therefor shall be encumbered to include all costs for construction, design, investigation, administration, movable equipment and a reasonable contingency. Surplus direct appropriations remaining in the project budget after encumbering costs described above shall be placed in a Project Reserve Fund credited to the Department of Administration. Use of this Project Reserve Fund shall be at the discretion of the Advisory Budget Commission, and solely to allow for award of contracts where bids exceed appropriated funds, on condition that such projects supplemented shall have been designed within the physical scope intended by the applicable appropriation or any authorized change therein, and all means to award contracts within the appropriation shall have been reasonably attempted in the opinion of the Advisory Budget Commission. At the discretion of the Advisory Budget Commission, any balances in the Project Reserve Fund shall revert to the original source.

Sec. 8.  The Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission are authorized and empowered to delete any CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT project or projects as provided in this act and substitute therefor any other CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT project or projects which on the request of the department, agency or institution, and in the opinion of the Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission, shall be deemed to be in the best interest of the State. Such substituted projects shall take precedence over" projects enumerated in this act within the limit of funds provided to the requesting department, agency, or institution in this appropriation.

Sec. 9.  The Advisory Budget Commission may, when in its opinion it is in the best interest of the State to do so, and upon the request of the department, institution, or agency, authorize an increase or a decrease in size, scope, direct or self-liquidating appropriation of any project or projects enumerated in this act within the funds available to that department, agency or institution.

Sec. 10.  There is authorized in Section 4 of this act, under the subheading of Western Carolina University, the sum of eight hundred sixty-five thousand dollars ($865,000.00) on a self-liquidating basis involving no appropriation of State funds, which, when supplemented and matched by private gifts and donations or funds other than those appropriated to Western Carolina University in the amount of eight hundred thousand dollars ($800,000.00), will provide a total of one million six hundred sixty-five thousand dollars ($1,665,000.00) for the purpose of constructing a stadium. No self-liquidating indebtedness for a stadium shall be incurred by Western Carolina University unless the Advisory Budget Commission shall have determined in its discretion, which determination shall be binding and conclusive, that (a) the University has received pledges for the construction of the stadium of gifts from individuals, corporations or funds other than those appropriated to Western Carolina University in the amount of not less than eight hundred thousand dollars ($800,000.00) and (b) the self-liquidating funds in the amount of eight hundred sixty- five thousand dollars ($865,000.00) will be provided pursuant to a financing program in conformity with the General Statutes of North Carolina which financing program shall provide for the retirement of such self-liquidating indebtedness within a reasonable period of time from the proceeds of anticipated receipts and other revenues received in connection with the use of the stadium.

Sec. 11.  There is appropriated under Section 4 of this act the sum of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) as a supplement to a previous appropriation and authorization in connection with the construction, equipping and furnishing a new State Art Museum Building. It is the intent of the General Assembly of North Carolina that this appropriation of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) shall be reserved and used with funds previously appropriated and with funds derived from other sources such as private gifts, grants and other non-State funds made available by individuals, corporations, foundations and others; and shall be used as requested by the State Art Museum Building Commission, subject to the approval of the Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission. The provisions of this act relative to reversion shall not be applicable to this appropriation.

Sec. 12.  The Director of the Budget is authorized and empowered to transfer, as between the three institutions, the appropriations made in this act for the North Carolina School for the Deaf, the Eastern North Carolina School for the Deaf, and the Governor Morehead School, and as between the eight training schools under the jurisdiction of the Board of Juvenile Correction, the appropriations made to any of them, when in his opinion it shall be deemed to be in the best interest of the State.

Sec. 13.  The Director of the Budget is authorized and empowered to advance, from the land-purchase appropriations made in this act, funds necessary for purchase of recreational land for which there is either no specific appropriation or only a partial appropriation, when reimbursement of such advances will be later effected by the federal Bureau of Outdoor Recreation.

Sec. 14.  There are appropriated in Sections 4 and 5 of this act certain lump sums of funds specifically to the Department of Correction; the Department of Conservation and Development, Division of Forestry; the Department of Conservation and Development, Division of State Parks; and the Department of Water and Air Resources from the General Fund; and to the State Highway Commission from the Highway Fund. Such lump sums of funds shall be used for specific projects of CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS from time to time and in accordance with the priority needs of the respective agencies, and as approved by the Advisory Budget Commission generally as described and set forth in Volume III of the Budget. In the case of the Department of Water and Air Resources, the lump sums of monies are intended by the General Assembly primarily to supplement funds from federal and/or local sources for projects approved by the Advisory Budget Commission to accomplish the purposes indicated in this act. The proportion of State funds to be provided as supplement to federal and/or local funds shall be in accordance with formulae of the federal agency or in reasonable proportion as approved by the Advisory Budget Commission.

Sec. 15.  Subject to any transfers and changes between appropriations as permitted in previous sections of this act, the appropriations for CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS made in this act shall be expended only for specific projects set out in this act. Construction of all CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT projects enumerated in this act shall be commenced or self-liquidating indebtedness with respect thereto shall be incurred commenced on or before December 31, 1972; if construction on such project or projects has not been commenced or self-liquidating indebtedness has not been incurred on or before December 31, 1972, then the direct appropriation for such project or projects shall revert to the original source, and the self-liquidating appropriation shall lapse; except that direct appropriations may be placed in the Project Reserve Fund; provided, however, that subject to the approval of the Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission this deadline with respect to both direct and self-liquidating appropriations may be extended when, in the discretion of the Governor and the Advisory Budget Commission, existing circumstances and conditions warrant such extension.

Sec. 16.  Any unencumbered direct appropriation balances remaining in the CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT funds of 1969 appropriated for construction and equipment shall revert to the original source on December 31, 1971; provided that the Governor and Advisory Budget Commission may grant further extension for specific projects in such cases where conditions warrant.

Sec. 17.  The several departments, institutions, and agencies of the State are fully authorized and empowered to make application or applications to any agency or agencies of the United States of America for grant-in-aid for the construction of the several projects in this act and within the scope and intent of the projects enumerated in this act and to expend the same in accordance with the terms of such grants which are not contrary to the laws of this State. The Advisory Budget Commission and the Department of Administration, in its pertinent divisions, shall be furnished in advance with copies of all requests for federal funds and this information shall be kept current.

Sec. 18.  This act shall be in full force and effect July 1, 1971.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 29th day of June, 1971.
