Original Committee Reference: B. & P.
SUMMARY : Revises the terms of a previously authorized exchange
of state-owned surplus real property located in the City of
Santa Cruz (City).
The Senate amendments :
1)Permit the Adjutant General (AG) to determine whether the
entire armory site, or portions thereof, will be necessary for
a National Guard instruction camp.
2)Subject the transfer to current law, except that the City
shall have the first right of refusal to acquire all or part
of the armory site, as determined by the Department of General
Services (DGS).
3)Add affordable housing or other local government uses to the
list of permissible uses for the armory site.
4)Require DGS to consult with the AG in executing the transfer
of the DeLaveaga Park Property for the armory site.
5)Delete the requirement that the state's conveyance to the City
be subject to mutually agreed terms among DGS, the Military
Department, and the City and instead states that the City
shall be subject to terms and conditions that the director of
DGS deems is in the best interests of the state, which shall
include the requirement that the real property shall be used
as a municipally owned public golf course for as long as the
City determines and thereafter used, in perpetuity, as a
municipally owned public recreational area.
6)Delete the provision that DGS's transfer occur at no cost to
the City, except for processing and title fees.

7)Require that DGS and the AG concur in the terms and conditions
of DGS's conveyance to the City.
8)Make technical and clarifying changes.
EXISTING LAW :
1)Requires DGS to exchange with the City, state-owned property
that is currently leased to the City, and which is being used
as a portion of the DeLaveaga Golf Course, for City owned
property leased to the National Guard for training purposes.
2)Requires DGS to convey the Armory site to the City if it is
deemed to be surplus to the needs of the state and will be
used in perpetuity for recreational purposes.
AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY , this bill was substantially similar
to the version passed by the Senate.
FISCAL EFFECT : According to the Assembly Appropriations
Committee analysis, negligible fiscal impact. The bill only
changes the mechanism of a previously authorized disposition.
