7.13. - Page 2 whether Section 3 % should be modified in terms of its application to the Port will occur as part of the pending review and update. The new section applying only to the City specifies that general law will provide the regulatory framework for acquisition and disposition of City property including leases unless the City Council chooses to set forth new regulations by ordinance. Under general law, a city may purchase, lease, receive, hold, and dispose of real property in any way that it choses provided that the disposition is for the common benefit (Cal. Gov't Code 37350). Further, the Planning Commission must prepare a report that indicates that disposition of the property conforms to the General Plan (Cal. Gov't Code 65402(a)). An alternative procedure under state law involves making a finding that the public interest and necessity require selling the property to the highest bidder, so this option is always available when other factors, such as conditions of development, are less important. (Ca. Gov't Code §37420- 37430) There are additional procedures for disposing of surplus property (Cal. Gov't Code §50568, and following, and 54220, and following) The Charter Ad Hoc Committee would then also consider development of an ordinance prescribing new rules for acquisition and disposition of property, so that it would be ready after the November election, should the voters approve the proposed Charter amendment. FISCAL IMPACT None. ALTERNATIVES 1. Do not authorize the Charter Ad Hoc Committee to proceed with an overall revision to the Charter. 2. Do not proceed with revisions to Section 3 % of the Charter.
