Armories: sales: San Diego Armory.

Existing law authorizes the Director of General Services, with the approval of the Adjutant General, to lease and sell real property held for armory purposes, subject to legislative approval. Existing law establishes the Armory Fund and requires that all proceeds from the sale or lease of armories be deposited into the fund, for use, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for specified purposes related to armories. This bill would require the Director of General Services, with the approval of the Adjutant General, to offer an option to purchase a portion of the Military Department's San Diego Armory, as specified, to the San Diego Center for Children, a nonprofit organization. The bill would, if the Department of General Services and the San Diego Center for Children do not reach and complete an agreement, as specified, authorize the sale of the armory pursuant to the above-referenced procedures. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of San Diego.
