could get worse.
"You know you're living on bor
rowed time," he said.
Funding for such work comes from the
state and is allocated to the OUS. Current
ly the University receives approximately
$3.8 million for capital repair funds, but
Hecht said the University would need
about three times that amount to main
tain the building's current conditions
while continuing with some repairs.
'That would be enough just to keep
us even every year," he said.
He said the OUS approached the
state Legislature last year with a pro
posal to increase funding for repairs
that would cover the $500 million over
the next 10 years, but it didn't pass.
"Because the state financial picture
was so bleak last year, we could not
advance the bill," he said. "It would
have really solved a lot of problems."
He said another way of getting
funding is to seek out donations. As
people become more interested in the
University, many decide they want to
donate funds to contribute to repairs
or to new buildings, such as with the
Lillis Business Complex.
"We've had a number of buildings
that have been fixed up and improved
that way, "he said.
Milo said the geography department's
main office entrance and lunchroom in
Condon Hall have undergone remodel
ing, including fresh paint and new cabi
nets, thanks to alumni donations.
But not all departments and col
leges are able to raise the money nec
essary for needed repairs, Hecht said.
"Unfortunately, not every building
on campus has been able to get a
donor," he said.
Despite a tight budget, Hecht said
two main areas — utility systems and
building roofs — have been well
maintained in terms of leaks and de
creased power outages.
"Those are two big success stories,"
he said.
However, Associate Vice President
for Budget and Finance Frances Dyke
said she doesn't see overall conditions
getting better anytime soon.
"Until we get a financial reinvest
ment from the state, we're not going
to get any better," she said.
Dyke said if Measure 30 fails, it will cre
ate a greater build-up of deferred costs.
However, "we're not out of the woods
even if Measure 30 passes," she said.
She added that Facilities Services is
doing the best it can under the cir
cumstances.
Hecht said he has hope for the fu
ture of campus buildings although it
is a widespread problem.
"Everybody's struggling with this," he
said. "Everybody's tiyingto find a solution"
He said he feels students are the
most important reason for keeping
buildings up to par.
"The reason we're all here is for the
students to get their education," he said.
