Negotiation began in 2002 and September 2004 NC A&T State University celebrated the sighing of Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) with the opening of the National Resources Conservation Services Eastern Regional Technology Center whose service area consisted of 24 states and the Caribbean area. The Greensboro Center was also home to the remote sensing lab. The Memorandum of Understanding says A&T has a working farm with modern facilities and farm equipment. NRCS will benefit from the use of this farm by being able to provide hands-on training to NRCS employees. NRCS can sponsor field studies that can serve as demonstrations to both NRCS trainees and also local and regional farmers. A negotiated action under Solicitation 5NC0075 resulted in a non-competitive award to locate the USDA Natural Resources Conversation Service's East National Technical Center and East Remote Sensing Laboratory on the North Carolina A&T State University Millennium Campus. |

Feb. 2, 2006, Action Item: Lease Agreement between the Greensboro Center for Innovative Development and UNCG and NC A&T, was considered by UNCG Board of Trustees. |
|
|
|
| BACKGROUND INFORMATION |
| |
- In September 2003, in order to create an efficient vehicle to manage the UNCG/NCA&T Joint Millennial Campus (JMC), a Separate 501(c)3 not-for-profit was established. The newly formed organization is known as the Greensboro Center for Innovative Development (GCID). The GCID (allegedly) is charged with the management and development of the properties that represent the JMC.
|
| |
- In September 2005, a Management Services and Development Agreement
(MSDA) between the GCID and NCA&T and UNCG was approved and executed by each party's respective board of Trustees. The MSDA formally established a working relationship between the two universities and the GCID for future development- Section I.F. of the MSDA states, "The Universities shall lease to GCID any or all property designated as the JMC, subject to necessary governmental approvals- Such leases shall be long term leases for nominal consideration. emphasis added
|
| |
- In order to facilitate the GCID's ability to perform its role as manager/developer it was determined by counsel for the universities and the GCID to pursue a master lease for the properties identified as the JMC. The lease document is based on a model previously used by several UNC campuses, including UNCG and NCA&T. This document has also been reviewed by the Office of the President.
|
|
 Action Item background information says, In September 2005 the MSDA formally established a working relationship between the two universities and the GCID for future development- Section I.F. of the MSDA states, "The Universities shall lease to GCID any or all property designated as the JMC. ""In order to facilitate the GCID ability to perform its role as managed/developer it was determined by counsel for the universities and the GCID to pursue a master lease for the properties identified as the JMC ( land owned by the State of North Carolina at the former Central North Carolina School for the Deaf and 75 acres adjacent the the NCA&T farm). Unambiguous no statutory NCGS: 116-198.34. (8b) NC A&T/ UNCG Joint Millennial Campus was designated Oct. 2003, emphasis added. |
| |
| § 116-198.34. General powers of Board of Governors. The Board may exercise any one or more of the following powers: (1) To determine the location and character of any project or projects, and to 1 acquire, construct, and provide the same, and to maintain, repair, and 2 operate, and to enter into contracts for the management, lease, use, or operation of all or any portion of any project or projects and any existing 4 facilities. |
 |
| Lacking and designated NCA&T/UNCG joint Millennial Campus, the Board of Governor lacked authority pursuant GS 116-198.34 (1) to enter into contracts for the management, lease, use, or operation of all or any portion of any project or projects and any existing facilities. |

| From Joseph Henderson (State Property Office Director) to Terrance Feravich, CC: John Webb Thursday, August 17, 2006 Subject: NCA&T-UNCG Joint Millennial Campus (email) |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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 |
