Digest: (1) Existing law provides that the state is divided into agricultural districts within the boundaries of which district agricultural associations may be formed. Existing law provides that District 1a is the County of San Mateo and the City and County of San Francisco. This bill would create District 1b, which consists of all of that real property that is a portion of District 1a that is commonly known as the Cow Palace, and would prescribe certain matters applicable to officers of District 1a and District 1b. The bill would, among other things, (A) authorize the Department of General Services to dispose of all or any portion of the real property that composes District 1b pursuant to a public bidding process, as provided, (B) prohibit District 1b from entering into any contract, lease, or other agreement affecting the useor operation of that real property for a period that exceeds 3 months, (C) require those contracts, leases, or agreements to contain a certain cancellation notice, (D) authorize the department to be reimbursed for reasonable costs or expenses, (E) authorize bonds involving District 1b property to be paid from the proceeds of any disposition of District 1b property, (F) require the Director of General Services to report specified information to the chairs of the fiscal committees of the Legislature 30 days prior to executing a transaction for the disposition of the real property, (G) require the director to include a reservation to the state of mineral rights in the disposition of the real property, (H) require the net disposition proceeds to be deposited into the District 1b Disposition Fund, which the bill would create in the State Treasury, and (I) require the department to report annually to the Legislature on the status of the disposition of the real property. This bill would require District 1b to be abolished and all funds in the District 1b Disposition Fund to be transferred to the General Fund upon sale of all property that composes District 1b. This bill would also declare the Legislatures findings that the disposition of this state property does not constitute a sale of surplus state property, as set forth in specified existing law. (2) The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of, an environmental impact report on a project that it proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not have that effect. CEQAgenerally requires a lead agency to prepare a mitigated negative declaration for a project that may have a significant effect on the environment if revisions in the project would avoid or mitigate that effect and there is no substantial evidence that the project, as revised, would have a significant effect on the environment. CEQA also provides some exemptions from its requirements for specified projects. This bill would exempt the disposition of the state real property or buildings subject to the bill that is made on an as is basis from designated provisions of CEQA. The bill would also exempt from those provisions of CEQA the execution of the purchase and sale agreement or the exchange agreement for this property or these buildings if the disposition is not made on an as is basis and the close of escrow is contingent on a specified requirement and compliance with CEQA. (3) This bill would authorize the Director of Finance to provide a General Fund loan in the amount of $500,000 to a certain item of the Budget Act, which relates to the Department of General Services, and to adjust the amounts appropriated in that item that are provided for the purposes of supporting the management of the states real property assets in order to accommodate any increase in workload or other costs to the Department of General Services to implement this bill. By authorizing adjustments to certain appropriated amounts in the Budget Act, the bill would make an appropriation. »Less
