LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2629, as amended, Eggman. Department of Transportation: airspace under state highways: leases.

(1) Existing law establishes the Department of Transportation and provides that the department has full possession and control of all state highways and all associated property. Existing law authorizes the department to provide information regarding, and to lease, airspace under the interchange of Route 4 and Route 5 in San Joaquin County and on the northeast corner of Route 101 and De La Vina Street in the County of Santa Barbara, to a city, county, or other political subdivision or another state agency for emergency shelter or feeding program purposes, as specified, but only if there is no buyer.

This bill would delete the condition that the airspace may only be leased to a city, county, or other political subdivision or another state agency for emergency shelter or feeding program purposes if there is no buyer.

(2) Existing law authorizes the department, upon the request of the City of Stockton, to renew the lease executed pursuant to these provisions for the described airspace in San Joaquin County for the period requested by the city, but not to exceed 10 years, and authorizes, subsequent to that renewal, to agree to not more than 2 additional renewals of not more than 10 years each.

This bill would delete the conditions that the renewal not exceed 10 years and that, subsequent to that renewal, the department may agree to not more than 2 additional renewals of not more than 10 years each.

 Section 104.17 of the Streets and Highways Code is amended to read:

The lease shall be for one dollar ($1) per month. The lease amount may be paid in advance of the term covered in order to reduce the administrative costs associated with the payment of the monthly rental fee.

(b) A lease executed pursuant to this section shall also provide for the cost of administering the lease.

(c) The administrative fee shall not exceed five hundred dollars ($500) per year unless the department determines that a higher administrative fee is necessary.

(d) The Legislature finds and declares that the lease of real property pursuant to this section serves a public purpose.

(e) A lease executed pursuant to subdivision (a) for airspace under the interchange of Route 4 and Route 5 in San Joaquin County shall provide for the rescission of existing leases of this airspace between the department and the City of Stockton and for the refunding of any rent paid pursuant to those leases for periods any period commencing on or after January 1, 1988. Upon the request of the City of Stockton, the department may renew the lease executed pursuant to subdivision (a) for the airspace described in this subdivision for the period requested by the city.
