Official statutory text
(a) The department may lease, for any use, all or any portion of any parcel of real property acquired for forestry and fire protection purposes if the director finds that the use would be compatible with the department’s use.
(b) Rent shall be based on the fair market value of the property when used for the purpose for which it is leased.
(c) The lease term shall not exceed 5 years. All leases entered into pursuant to this section shall be subject to the approval of the Department of General Services.
(d) No lease shall be entered into that extends beyond the 5-year period unless the Legislature has reviewed and approved the proposed lease as part of the annual budget process, or the Public Works Board has determined that the proposed lease could not have been presented to the Legislature for review and approval in the course of its consideration of the Budget Bill and that it would be adverse to the interests of the public to defer that review and approval to a time when the Legislature next considers a Budget Bill. Upon making that determination, the board may review and approve the proposed lease after giving at least 20 days’ written notice to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and to the chairperson of the fiscal and appropriate policy committees of its intended action. All actions taken by the board pursuant to this subdivision shall be reported to the Legislature in the next Governor’s Budget.
