Income management through the proper collection of royalties, <br />rents, and rights-of-way payments for the permanent funds. <br />f. By. intensive management and development of the trust lands the <br />Board of ~4nd Commissioners will increase the revenues to the <br />trusts thereby providing the use of more general fund monies for <br />allocatio1;1.,.to other state uses and purposes. The Board of Land <br />Commissioners is one of the largest income producing agencies <br />in state service. <br /> <br />Issues: The issues which confront the Land Board all are variants of the. <br />question of how to general maximum return. The present land commissioners <br />look to increase revenue by: upgrading grazing lands, instituting a rotating <br />timber harvest, issuing long term commercial leases based on percentages of <br />the business gross, sales where a peak value may be captured, and by mineral <br />leases with an advance minimum royalty clause which encourages production <br />and discourages speculation. Fees and charges are being increased by the <br />Land Board to offset any increase in costs which result from the more <br />aggressive management. <br /> <br />II 1. ACTIVITIES <br /> <br />In the m~nagement of state trust lands, our agency administers over 3,000 <br />surface leases and 8,000 sub-surface leases. This activity requires many <br />field inspections and appraisals, numerous evaluations for damage claims on <br />mineral extraction and production, a close personal relationship with all <br />our lessees, and the continuing cooperation with and evaluation of the <br />programs of other state, local, and federal agencies in order to determine <br />the effect our land management operations have on the existing programs and <br />policies of these other political sub-divisions, all, however, in terms of <br />good and wise land use and the const~(utional charge of our agency. <br /> <br />fY76-77 <br /> <br />fY77-78 <br /> <br />FY78-79 <br /> <br />ReVenues Generated: <br /> <br />9,818,568 <br /> <br />11,435,487 <br /> <br />14,922,584 <br />(estimate) <br /> <br />Perccnt~g~ uf Increase <br /> <br />8.1% <br /> <br />16.5% <br /> <br />30.5% <br /> <br />lV. \\;':S<lU\\C;':S <br /> <br />Employees: Full (-me FTE's-28, <br /> <br />Part time FTE's-O <br /> <br />LlIHl AJminist2rcJ: <br /> <br />Acres <br /> <br />Fee C0ntrol <br /> <br />3,000,000 Surface Acres <br />4,000,000 Sub-surface (mineral acres) <br /> <br />E;ls~mcn t <br /> <br />TOTA: <br /> <br />Same as above. <br /> <br />14 <br />
