From Joseph Henderson to Terrance Feravich, CC: John Webb Thursday, August 17, 2006 Subject: NCA&T-UNCG Joint Millennial Camus (email)

Terry:

I have now read the agreement, lease, background info put out by GCID. GCID articles of incorporation and bylaws, and reviewed the pertinent general statues. It appears to me that A&T and UNCG set out on a course that was from the beginning contrary to the current statues governing millennial campuses.

Clearly, background info on GCID, the articles and bylaws, anticipate GCID taking title to the land and buildings and managing the real property of the campus. Yet, Chapter 116, Article 21B, contemplates the handling of real property pursuant to Chapter 146 except for the limited a case of disposition by lease of space (only) not exceed a term of ten years.

A transfer of the real property to GCID (by leaser or otherwise) would remove the Department of Administration, Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations and Governor and Council of State from any oversight of the real property transactions. While we may have the latitude to do it (the lease), I am certain uncomfortable with the concept which I believe circumvents the Legislative intent.

The formation of and purpose of the GCID raises other questions. As a creation of the two campuses, are its meetings open to the public and are its records subject to the public records law? should they be? What was intent of the two trustee boards and what is the desire of the Board of Governors?

Given the appointment/election process for directors of GCID, how much control, if any, do the boards of trustees of the two institutions and the Board of Governors retain over the actions of GCID? It's hard to say who is in charge but my reading of the bylaws indicates the trustees and Board of Governors may have little say over, little knowledge of GCID' s actions except with GCID' cooperation.

It seems the cart is before the horse. If the real estate on the millennial campus is to be managed as contemplated by the agreement and lease, the General Assembly should be consulted and the legislation changed to allow it without manipulation or circumvent current statues.

In the interim, we will work with...and the campus to efficiently handle all contemplated real estate transactions. Emphasis added

Bridgette L. Chase, Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, August 8, 2006 Email to Mr. John R. Merrill, Executive Director GCID indicated. This letter is in regards to SFO #5NC0075 for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service in Greensboro, North Carolina. Please carefully review your proposal for the project located at the North Carolina A&T University Campus, Greensboro, North Carolina and submit your best and Final Offer (BAFO) no later than close of business on August 15, 2006. Emphasis added.

August 14, 2006 Terrance Feravich email to Joe Henderson, John Webb, CC Robert Nelson; John Merrill: I was hoping that we might have an opportunity to sit

and walk through any hurdles that you see in proposed lease between NCA&T/UNCG joint Millennial Campus and GCID. Talking with John of Friday. I've learned that he has gained a significant commitment from the USDA for up to a 50,000 sq. ft. new building. While they understand that we are working hard at getting things properly set-up for all parties and are being patient, my sense is that it would be in the best interest of this new venture to get that first client off to a healthy and timely start. I'll be in Raleigh Wednesday for a couple of meetings ... and would welcome the opportunity to work the issues that you are see in the lease. I know that John Merrill is also pretty flexible this week is well. Sorry to be a bit of a pest with this important issue and I appreciate your understanding.
