LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 687, La Malfa. State property: Crystal Creek Regional Boys' Camp. (1) Existing law generally authorizes the Director of General Services to let for a period not to exceed 5 years any real property of the state. This bill would, notwithstanding these provisions, authorize the director, with the concurrence of the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, to lease to the County of Shasta, the Crystal Creek Regional Boys' Camp located in Shasta County, for the purposes of operating a regional rehabilitative juveniles camp, subject to specified conditions, including a condition that precludes the state from unilateral termination of the lease prior to the county fully recovering its investment in the property. (2) Existing law requires that, except as otherwise specified by law, the net proceeds received from the lease or other disposition of surplus real property be paid into the Deficit Recovery Bond Retirement Sinking Fund Subaccount, a continuously appropriated account, until the bonds issued pursuant to the act are retired. This bill would declare that the lease of state property authorized by the bill does not constitute a lease or other disposition of surplus state property within the meaning of these provisions. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 14670.11 is added to the Government Code, to read: 14670.11. Notwithstanding Section 14670, the Director of General Services, with the concurrence of the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, may lease to the County of Shasta for a period not to exceed 20 years, approximately 29 acres of real property with improvements thereon, located in the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, approximately 25 miles west of the City of Redding, in the County of Shasta, known as the Crystal Creek Regional Boys' Camp. (b) The lease shall be entered into for the purposes of operating a regional rehabilitative juveniles camp, upon the terms and conditions deemed by the director to be in the best interest of the state. (c) The director may negotiate the provision of maintenance or other services as compensation for the lease of the property, but shall negotiate a lease condition that precludes unilateral termination of the lease by the state prior to the county fully recovering its investment in the property. SEC. 2. The Legislature finds and declares that the lease of state property authorized by Section 1 of this act does not constitute a lease or other disposition of surplus state property within the meaning of subdivision (g) of Section 11011 of the Government Code.
