Armories: sales: local agencies.

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 that an armory be offered for sale to a local agency, as defined, prior to being offered for sale to private entities or individuals, as provided. The bill would also require the Department of General Services to maintain a list of armories authorized for sale in a conspicuous place on its Internet Web site and to provide local agencies and, upon request, members of the public, with electronic notification of updates to the list of properties.
