THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 1. (1) The state administrative board, on behalf of the
state, shall offer to and may convey to Delta county, for fair
market value, all of certain state-owned property located in the
city of Escanaba, Delta county, Michigan, and more particularly
described as follows:
Lots 1 through 12 of block 11, original plat of the city of
Escanaba, lots 17 and 18 of block 11, original plat of the city of
Escanaba, and the east 100 feet of the present 20 foot alley
dividing block 11, together with the public office building erected
thereon; and lots 14, 15, 16, block 11 of original plat of the city
of Escanaba.
(2) The description of the property in subsection (1) is
approximate and, for purposes of the conveyance, is subject to
adjustments as the state administrative board or the attorney
general considers necessary by survey or other legal description.
(3) The property described in subsection (1) shall include all
surplus, salvage, and scrap property or equipment remaining on the
property as of the date of the conveyance.
(4) The fair market value of the property described in
subsection (1) shall be determined by an appraisal prepared for the
department of technology, management, and budget by an independent
appraiser.
(5) The state administrative board shall not withdraw an offer
to convey under subsection (1) unless at least 90 days have elapsed
and the offer has not been accepted.
(6) The conveyance authorized by this section shall be by
quitclaim deed approved by the department of attorney general.
(7) The state shall not reserve oil, gas, or mineral rights to
the property conveyed under this section. However, the conveyance
authorized under this section shall provide that, if the purchaser
or any grantee develops any oil, gas, or minerals found on, within,
or under the conveyed property, the purchaser or any grantee shall
pay the state 1/2 of the gross revenue generated from the
development of the oil, gas, or minerals. This payment shall be
deposited in the general fund.
(8) The state reserves all aboriginal antiquities including
mounds, earthworks, forts, burial and village sites, mines, or
other relics lying on, within, or under the property with power to
the state and all others acting under its authority to enter the
property for any purpose related to exploring, excavating, and
taking away the aboriginal antiquities.
(9) The net revenue received from the sale of property under
this section shall be deposited in the state treasury and credited
to the general fund. As used in this subsection, "net revenue"
means the proceeds from the sale of the property less reimbursement
for any costs to the state associated with the sale of property,
including, but not limited to, administrative costs, including
employee wages, salaries, and benefits; costs of reports and
studies and other materials necessary to the preparation of sale;
environmental remediation; legal fees; and any litigation related
to any conveyance under this section.
