Napa County Municipal Code Ch. 2.97 Leasing of County-Owned Real Property

The purpose of this chapter is to authorize the county, as permitted by Government Code Section 25537, to utilize an alternate procedure for the leasing of county-owned real property to that procedure prescribed by Government Code Sections 25526 to 25535 in order to reduce the costs involved in the award of such leases and to increase the flexibility of the county when dealing with unusual circumstances where short-term leases of low market rental value are involved.

(Ord. 1053 § 1 (part), 1993: prior code § 2550)

Real property owned or leased by the county may be leased or subleased in accordance with the following procedure rather than the procedure required by Government Code Sections 25526 through 25535:

A. The board of supervisors shall authorize and the public works department shall post in at least three public places for not less than fifteen days and publish for not less than two weeks in a newspaper of general circulation published in the county a call for bids to lease or sublease the real property. The call shall contain a general description of the property (including any limitations on permitted uses), the location of the property, the length of lease to be considered, and the time, date, and place at which award of the lease will be considered by the board of supervisors.

B. At the time, date, and place set in the call for bids, the board of supervisors shall either accept the highest responsible bid or reject all bids.

(Ord. 1053 § 1 (part), 1993: prior code § 2551)

Notwithstanding Section 2.97.020, real property owned or leased by the county may be leased or subleased by the county in accordance with the following procedure rather than the procedure required by Government Code Sections 25526 through 25535 if the term of the lease or sublease will not exceed five years, is not renewable beyond that time, and the actual rental value does not exceed two thousand dollars:

A. At least one week prior to approval of the lease or sublease by the board of supervisors, notice of intention of the county to enter into a lease or sublease under this section shall be published by the public works director in a newspaper of general circulation published in the county; shall be posted in the office of the county clerk and clerk of the board of supervisors; and, if the lease or sublease involves residential real property, shall be given to the housing sponsors as defined by Sections 50074 and 50074.5 of the Health and Safety Code.

B. The notice required by subsection (A) of this section shall describe the property to be leased or subleased, the terms of the lease or sublease agreement, the location where the lease or sublease agreement will be executed, and that the agreement shall be subject to approval by the board of supervisors and execution on the board's behalf by the Chairman (or in his absence the vice-chairman) of the board.
