07/11/2011 Leases are handled differently. Lease of more than one month of property under the City Council's jurisdiction shall be authorized by City Council resolution, and leases for a lesser period of time may be authorized by motion. Lease of real property under the Port's jurisdiction is pursuant to Section 48a of the Charter. Sale of lease of harbor lands is addressed separately in Section 48 of the Charter. City property may be exchanged for other property when the value of the property to be received equals or exceeds the value of property to be disposed of by the city; and WHEREAS, the proposed Charter amendment would revise Section 3'h, so that it is applicable only to the property under the City Council's jurisdiction, and provide the City with the same rights as general cities to purchase, lease, receive, hold, and dispose of real and personal property for the common benefit, subject to any additional provisions that the City Council might enact by ordinance. A new Section 3 3/ would be added to maintain the requirements that have been applicable to the Port under Charter Section 3 ' /2. A minor amendment would be made to Section 48a to ensure that it properly cross - references new Section 3 -3/4; and WHEREAS, the City Council is authorized and directed by statute to submit the proposed charter amendments to the voters.
