BILL NUMBER: SB 1119 INTRODUCED
BILL TEXT
INTRODUCED BY Senator Wolk
FEBRUARY 17, 2016
An act to amend Section 11011.24 of the Government Code, relating
to surplus state property, and making an appropriation therefor.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1119, as introduced, Wolk. Surplus state property: County of
Napa.
Existing law authorizes the Director of General Services to sell
or exchange, at fair market value based upon an appraisal approved by
the Department of General Services, all or part of a specified
parcel of state property only to the County of Napa upon those terms,
conditions, reservations, and exceptions the director determines are
in the best interest of the state, by January 1, 2015, and subject
to other requirements. Existing law requires reimbursement of the
Department of General Services for any cost or expense incurred in
the disposition of the property from the proceeds of the disposition
of the property. Existing law requires the proceeds from this sale to
be deposited in the Deficit Recovery Bond Retirement Sinking Fund
Subaccount until the bonds associated with this subaccount are
finally paid.
This bill would extend the period within which the sale described
above may be made to January 1, 2021. The bill would revise the
reference to the Deficit Recovery Bond Retirement Sinking Fund
Subaccount, given that the principal and interest on the bonds has
been provided and no more bonds are outstanding. Consistent with
requirements of the California Constitution, the bill would direct
that proceeds be paid into the Special Fund for Economic
Uncertainties, which is continuously appropriated. By depositing
money in a continuously appropriated fund, the bill would make an
appropriation.
This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to
the necessity of a special statute for the County of Napa.
Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 11011.24 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
11011.24. (a) Except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (c), the
Director of General Services may sell or exchange, pursuant to
Section 11011.1, at fair market value based upon an appraisal
approved by the Department of General Services, only to the County of
Napa, upon those terms and conditions and subject to those
reservations and exceptions the director determines are in the best
interests of the state, all or any part of the following real
property, by January 1, 2015, 2021,
after which date, if not sold or exchanged to the County of Napa, the
property is no longer surplus and shall not be available for sale or
exchange:
Approximately 850 acres of property, currently leased to or
controlled by the County of Napa as part of Skyline Park, located at
the Napa State Hospital, 2100 Napa Vallejo Highway, Napa, in the
County of Napa.
(b) An agreement for the sale or exchange of the property
identified in, and pursuant to, subdivision (a), shall require the
County of Napa to retain title to the entire property sold or
exchanged for use as a park or wilderness preserve, or in the event
of the future sale or exchange of that property by the County of
Napa, shall require the County of Napa, by recorded easement, to
limit future uses of the property to a park or wilderness preserve.
(c) An agreement for the sale or exchange of the property
identified in, and pursuant to, subdivision (a), shall preserve Napa
State Hospital's ownership and use of the property known as Camp
Coombs, and Camp Coombs shall not be part of the sale or exchange of
the property. An agreement for the sale or exchange of the property
shall include an easement, that shall be recorded, that provides Napa
State Hospital with access to Camp Coombs.
(d) 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 proceeds of the disposition.
The net proceeds of any moneys received from the disposition of the
property shall be paid into the Deficit Recovery Bond
Retirement Sinking Fund Subaccount, Special Fund for
Economic Uncertainties, as established by subdivision
(f) of Section 20 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
16418.
(e) The County of Napa may enter into an agreement with a
nonprofit land trust or nonprofit conservation entity for the purpose
of sharing the costs associated with making the sale or exchange
authorized by this section, provided that all the requirements of
this section, including, but not limited to, those of subdivision
(b), are met.
SEC. 2. The Legislature finds and declares that, because of the
unique circumstances applicable to the County of Napa, a statute of
general applicability cannot be enacted within the meaning of
subdivision (b) of Section 16 of Article IV of the California
Constitution. Therefore, this special statute is necessary.
