           SUMMARY  

          This bill reauthorizes the Director of General Services (DGS), 
          with the consent of the Department of State Hospitals (DSH), to 
          lease a building at Patton State Hospital (PSH) to a nonprofit 
          corporation or local government, for up to 20 years, in order to 
          provide services to elderly persons.

           FISCAL EFFECT  

          Minor ongoing lease revenue. (Current lease revenue on this 
          building is about $26,000 annually.)

           COMMENTS  

           1)Background  . Legislation enacted in 1986 authorized DGS to 
            enter into a lease for the same building at PSH for up to 20 
            years. That lease, with the Highland Senior Center (HSC)-a 
            non-profit providing adult recreation and social 
            activities-expired in 2006. The HSC subsequently signed a 
            five-year lease, which expires in November 2013.

           2)Purpose  . According to the author's office, the HSC is seeking 
            another 20-year lease in order to secure financing and grants 
            in order to support their programs, which serve over 3,600 
            seniors from the surrounding communities.
