Surplus state property: County of Napa.

Existing law authorizes the Director of General Services to dispose of state surplus property, subject to specified conditions, including authorization by the Legislature. This bill would authorize the director 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. The bill would require any agreement for the sale or exchange of the property to include a provision that requires the County of Napa to retain title to the property for use as a park or wilderness preserve, or in the event of a future sale of that property by the county, require the county, by recorded easement, to limit future uses of the property to a park or wilderness preserve. The bill would require that any agreement for the sale or exchange of the property preserve Napa State Hospital's ownership and use of a specified area known as Camp Coombs. The bill would also require 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. The bill would require the net proceeds of any moneys received from the disposition of the property to be paid into the Deficit Recovery Bond Retirement Sinking Fund Subaccount, a continuously appropriated fund, thereby resulting in an appropriation. The bill would permit the County of Napa to enter an agreement with a nonprofit land trust or nonprofit conservation entity for the purpose of sharing the cost associated with the sale or exchange authorized by this bill, provided all its other requirements are met. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Napa.
