San Mateo County Municipal Code Ch. 2.51 Leasing of County Property

The following procedure is hereby established for leasing County-owned real property as an alternative procedure to that required by sections 25526 through 25535 of the Government Code.

(Ord. 4324, 08/15/06)

The Board of Supervisors may lease for a term not exceeding 99 years any real property belonging to the County and not needed for County purposes during the term of the proposed lease.

(Ord. 4324, 08/15/06)

Before ordering the lease of any property the Board of Supervisors shall, in a regular open meeting, adopt a resolution declaring its intention to lease said property, which resolution shall describe the property in such manner as to identify it, specify the minimum rental, and the terms upon which it shall be leased, shall call for bids on the proposed leasing and shall fix a time not less than three weeks thereafter for a public meeting of the Board at its regular place of meeting, at which sealed proposals to lease will be received and considered.

(Ord. 4324, 08/15/06)

Notice of adoption of the resolution and of the time and place of holding the meeting shall be given by the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors by posting a certified copy of said resolution in three public places in the County, not less than 15 days before the date of the meeting, and by publishing a certified copy thereof for not less than two weeks in a newspaper of general circulation published in the County.

(Ord. 4324, 08/15/06)

The said resolution may contain a provision that upon opening the written bids for the said lease, oral bids shall be called for by the Board, and if upon such call for oral bids any responsible bidder offers to lease said property for a rental exceeding by at least 5% of the highest written proposal, the highest oral proposal submitted by such person shall be finally accepted.

(Ord. 4324, 08/15/06)

The Board of Supervisors must accept the highest bid submitted for said leasing or else reject all bids.

(Ord. 4324, 08/15/06)

The final acceptance by the Board of Supervisors may be made either at the same session at which the proposals are considered or at any meeting of said Board held within the thirty (30) days next following.

(Ord. 4324, 08/15/06)

The County Manager or his designee may, without calling for bids, negotiate and execute leases of real property owned by the County for a non-renewable term not to exceed ten years and actual monthly rentals not to exceed $100,000.00 for any such lease, provided that notice is given pursuant to Government Code section 6061, posted in the office of the County Clerk, and, if the lease involves residential property, is given to housing sponsors (as defined by sections 50074 and 50074.5 of the California Health and Safety Code). The notice shall state that, upon approval of the Board of Supervisors, the lease will be executed by the County Manager or his designee on behalf of the County and shall describe the property proposed to be leased, the terms of the lease, and the location where the lease will be executed.

Before any such lease is executed on behalf of the County or becomes effective, the Board of Supervisors must first adopt a resolution, by majority vote, authorizing the County Manager or his designee to execute such lease.
