	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1527, Yee. State property: sale.
   Existing law authorizes the Director of General Services to
dispose of state surplus property, subject to specified conditions,
including authorization by the Legislature.
   This bill would require the director, prior to January 1, 2009, to
enter into negotiations to sell, at fair market value, upon those
terms and conditions determined by the director, a specified parcel
of state property located in the County of San Mateo and the City and
County of San Francisco to any interested 3rd party, with the Daly
City Redevelopment Agency afforded the right of first refusal, as
specified. The net proceeds of the conveyance would be paid into the
Fair and Exposition Fund, a continuously appropriated fund, for the
benefit of a specified district agricultural association, as
provided, thereby making an appropriation. The bill would require
reimbursement to the Department of General Services for any cost or
expense incurred in the disposition of the property from the Daly
City Redevelopment Agency or other purchaser. This bill would also
declare the Legislature's findings that the sale of this state
property does not constitute a sale of surplus state property, as set
forth in specified existing law.
   The bill would declare that it would take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.
   Appropriation: yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 19622.5 is added to the Business and

Agricultural Association associated with negotiating the sale of the
real property of the District 1-A Agricultural Association.
   (b) The Department of Food and Agriculture in coordination with
the Department of General Services, no later than June 1, 2013, shall
provide to the Legislature a report analyzing the business
operations of the District 1-A Agricultural Association for the
previous five years and make recommendations identifying the best use
of the property. Recommendations may include, but are not limited
to, continued operation as a district agricultural association or the
sale or lease of any and all parcels.
  SEC. 2.  Section 11011.27 is added to the Government Code, to read:

   11011.27.  (a) The Director of General Services in consultation
with the Department of Food and Agriculture, prior to January 1,
2009, shall enter into negotiations to sell, at fair market value
with an all cash sale or cash equivalent without any conditions
relating to entitlements, to any interested third party, with the

identified in subdivision (a) for less than its fair market value.
   (c) Upon acceptance by the Department of General Services of any
bid, offer, or proposal, the Daly City Redevelopment Agency shall

subject parcel to the Daly City Redevelopment Agency at fair market
value.
   (d) If the Daly City Redevelopment Agency exercises its right of
first refusal or enters into negotiations with the Department of

sale of the property described in subdivision (a) at least at its
fair market value but for no less than the accepted bid, proposal, or

use of the property as entitled with its existing zone designation,
generally required for all real estate appraisals and as governed by
the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
   (f) If the Daly City Redevelopment Agency and the Department of
General Services have not entered into a written agreement for the
purchase of the property within the time limit specified in
subdivision (d) without unreasonable delay, the Director of General
Services may sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the property as
provided by law.
   (g) An agreement for the sale of the property identified in
subdivision (a) shall require a purchaser to develop the property for
uses consistent with the general plan of the City of Daly City, any
amendment to that general plan, any specific plan amendments to any
specific plan, and the Bayshore Revitalization Redevelopment Plan.
   (h) The Department of General Services shall be reimbursed for any
cost or expense incurred in the disposition of the property
described in subdivision (a) from the Daly City Redevelopment Agency
or other purchaser.
   (i) The net proceeds of any moneys received from the disposition
of any parcel of property described in subdivision (a) shall be paid
into the Fair and Exposition Fund for the benefit of the District 1-A
Agricultural Association.
  SEC. 3.  The Legislature finds and declares that the disposition of
state property authorized in Section 2 of this act does not
constitute a sale or other disposition of surplus state property as
set forth in Section 9 of Article III of the California Constitution
or subdivision (g) of Section 11011 of the Government Code.
  SEC. 4.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:
   In order for the Director of General Services to sell the property
described in Section 2 of this act at the earliest possible time, it
is necessary that this act take effect immediately.
