	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1622, Thomson.  Surplus state property:  lease:  City of
Vacaville.
   Existing law authorizes the Director of General Services, with the
consent of the Department of Corrections, to let to the City of
Vacaville for a public purpose, for a period not to exceed 20 years,
specified real property, and authorizes the renewal of the lease upon
its expiration for an additional period not to exceed 20 years.
   This bill would extend the period for which the lease would be
authorized, and the period for which it may be renewed, to 40 years.

   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 14672 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   14672.  Notwithstanding Section 14670, the Director of General
Services with the consent of the Department of Corrections, may let
to the City of Vacaville for a public purpose, for a period not to
exceed 40 years, real property that belongs to the state and that is
retained by the state primarily to provide a peripheral buffer area,
or zone, between real property upon which is located the medical
facility and adjacent real property, where the director deems that
letting is in the best interests of the state.
   The lease provided for by this section may be renewed, upon its
expiration, for an additional period not to exceed 40 years.
  SEC. 2.  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:
   An existing agreement regarding the provision of municipal
utilities between the Department of Corrections and the City of
Vacaville expires on December 31, 1999.  In order to finalize the new
master agreement authorized by this act prior to the expiration of
the existing agreement, and to prevent the interruption of these
utilities, it is necessary that this bill take effect immediately.
