State real property: City of Imperial.
- Authorizes the sale of the CHP El Centro office building to the City of Imperial for use as a police department.
- Exempts the property sale from environmental review requirements to expedite the transaction.
- Requires proceeds from the sale to cover bond-related costs before going to the state's emergency fund.
Senator Padilla's legislation authorizes the sale, exchange, or lease of the California Highway Patrol El Centro Area office to the City of Imperial, creating a targeted exception to standard state property disposition procedures. The property, located at 2331 U.S. Highway 86 in Imperial County, would transfer to municipal ownership under terms determined by the Director of General Services to serve the state's interests.
The bill establishes specific parameters for the property transaction's financial structure. When state bonds are involved, proceeds from the sale or lease must first cover bond-related expenses, including review costs and bond counsel fees. Net proceeds would then flow to the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties, following constitutional requirements for surplus property sales. The legislation also exempts the transaction from environmental review requirements typically mandated under state law.
The bill's findings cite Imperial's current lack of a dedicated police department facility as the primary rationale for this targeted approach. The property's existing law enforcement purpose aligns with its intended municipal use, supporting the legislation's creation of a special statutory process for this specific transfer rather than relying on general surplus property procedures.
