Statute text

(a)In any county the board of supervisors may prescribe by ordinance a procedure alternative to that required by Sections 25526 to 25535, inclusive, for the leasing or licensing of any real property belonging to, leased by, or licensed by, the county. Any alternative procedure so prescribed shall require that the board of supervisors either accept the highest proposal for the proposed lease or license submitted in response to a call for bids posted in at least three public places for not less than 15 days and published for not less than two weeks in a newspaper of general circulation, if the newspaper is published in the county, or reject all bids.

(b)Leases or licenses of a duration not exceeding 10 years and having an estimated monthly rental not exceeding a dollar limit that may be established by ordinance of the board, or, if no ordinance is adopted, not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), may be excluded from the bidding procedure specified in subdivision (a), except that notice shall be given pursuant to Section 6061, posted in the office of the clerk of the board of supervisors, and if the lease or license involves residential property, notice shall be given to the housing sponsors, as defined by Sections 50074 and 50074.5 of the Health and Safety Code. The notice shall describe the property proposed to be leased or licensed, the terms of the lease or license, the location where offers to lease or license the property will be accepted, the location where leases or licenses will be executed, and any county officer authorized to execute the lease or license. If a lease or license is excluded from the bidding procedure, the actual monthly rental in the executed lease or license may not exceed a dollar limit that may be established by ordinance of the board, or, if no ordinance is adopted, may not exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000), the term of the executed lease or license shall not exceed 10 years, and the lease or license is not renewable.

(c)(1) The board of supervisors may, by ordinance, authorize the county officer or officers as are deemed appropriate, to execute leases or licenses pursuant to this section.
