Community colleges: leasing of buildings: sale of district property.

(1) Existing law allows the governing board of a community college district to lease temporary-use buildings. Existing law provides that any lease of a temporary-use building that is for more than a total of three years, or is under a lease-purchase contract, is subject to compliance with existing law providing for the construction of school buildings under the supervision of the Department of General Services pursuant to specified standards. This bill would allow the Los Angeles Community College District to lease a temporary use building that is 50,000 square feet or less for up to a total of 5 years without being subject to compliance with the above provisions of existing law regarding building standards. The bill would provide that this provision would not apply to leases with an effective date or effective renewal date that is after January 1, 2015. This bill would make a legislative declaration regarding the need for a special statute regarding the Los Angeles Community College District. (2) Existing law allows the governing board of a community college district to sell or lease any real property belonging to the district. Existing law requires the district to call for oral bids before accepting any written proposals to sell or lease district property. Existing law requires the board to accept an oral bid if it exceeds the highest written proposal by 5%. This bill would repeal the provisions relating to oral bids.
