Guam § 60900 - Legislative Statement.

§ 60900. Legislative Statement.

I Liheslaturan Guåhan finds that the Department of Land

Management (DLM) has applied with the Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA) under the Hazard Mitigation Grant

Program for funds to construct its administration building. The

DLM desires to use the funds received from the FEMA under the

Hazard Mitigation Grant Program awarded under Project Number

HMGP DR 1446, Project # 15 to construct a building complex to

house the operations of the Department of Land Management. The

Department proposes to construct the government of Guam

building facility on Block 24, in the municipality of Hagåtña.

More importantly, I Liheslaturan Guåhan finds that the

authorization of funds to be received from FEMA is strictly for

the funding of the proposed construction of the government of

Guam building facility on Block 24, and that I Liheslaturan

Guåhan and I Maga’lahen Guåhan cannot transfer or redirect the

funding to any accounts other than for the expenditures of the

proposed building construction on Block 24, Hagåtña.

The proposed construction of the government of Guam

building facilities on Block 24, Hagåtna, is particularly described

as shown on Re-Subdivision Survey Map, drawing number I4-

06T702, L.M. Check No. 273FY2008, and recorded under

document number 799055, November 24, 2009, prepared by

Professional Land Surveyor No. 68, Paul L. Santos.

The Department of Land Management, with the advisement

from the Attorney General’s Office and pursuant to § 75105 of

Chapter 75, Title 21, GCA, solicits assistance and is requesting

approval from I Liheslaturan Guåhan for development authority

of government-owned parcels: Lots 1NEW-2; 1NEW-3; and

1NEW-R6, within Block 24, affected by the consolidation and

property boundary realignment of fractional lots within Block 24.

The deletion of these substandard parcels, the pre-war lots, also

known as fractional parcels within Block 24, municipality of

Hagåtña, would provide both private and government-owned

parcels the highest and best use for development.

I Liheslaturan Guåhan authorizes the Department of Land

Management to complete the land exchange negotiated with the

privately-owned fractional parcel Lot 317, within Block 24, and

the government-owned parcel Lots 1NEW-2 and 1NEW-3, as

shown on survey map recorded on Document No. 799055. The

exchange is for lots of the same size and with the same basic lots

via the re-alignment of boundaries.
