SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE: Senate Rule 28.8
ASSEMBLY FLOOR: 79-0, 5/5/16 (Consent) - See last page for
vote
SUBJECT: State real property: disposition
SOURCE: Department of General Services
DIGEST: This bill authorizes the Director of the Department
of General Services (DGS) to dispose of a specified surplus
property, known as the California Highway Patrol (CHP) field
office in Stockton, California, and rescinds the prior surplus
authorization of a specified parcel, known as the Employment
Development Department's (EDD) Vallejo Building in Vallejo,
California.
ANALYSIS:
Existing law:
1)Provides that DGS may acquire and dispose of surplus state
AB 2904
Page 2
real property where that property is not needed by another
state agency and the Legislature has authorized disposal of
the property.
2)Authorizes DGS to sell, exchange, sell combined with an
exchange, or lease for fair market value the property known as
EDD's Vallejo Office building, located at 1440 Marin Street,
in Vallejo, Solano County.
3)Requires that the proceeds from the sale of surplus state
property be used to pay the principal and interest on bonds
issued pursuant to the Economic Recovery Bond Act, until the
principal and interest on those bonds are fully paid, the
final payment of which was made in the 2015-16 fiscal year,
after which these proceeds are required to be deposited into
the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties, a continuously
appropriated fund.
This bill:
1)Authorizes DGS to sell, exchange, sell combined with an
exchange, or lease for fair market value, upon terms and
conditions determined to be in the state's best interest, all
or any part of a former CHP field office in Stockton,
California.
2)Rescinds the surplus authorizations for EDD's office building
in Vallejo, California, due to continued need for its use.

ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT: According to DGS, "the surplus parcel
located in Stockton is the result of a statewide upgrading of
outdated and small existing field offices of the CHP. A new
office is under construction nearby. According to the CHP,
these locations no longer meet modern building codes, are not in
compliance with ADA, and lack women's locker room facilities."
In addition, DGS specifies that, "this bill also rescinds the
surplus authorization for the Employment Development
Department's Vallejo Office Building. Previously, an EDD
Partner and major building tenant intended to end the
partnership and seek a separate location. After the property
was declared surplus, the partner notified EDD that it no longer
intended to end the partnership and move out, so for the long
term, EDD will likely remain co-located with this partner."
