17482
. The governing board of a school district may, with the
approval of the county board of supervisors, sell or lease any
building of the district together with the site upon which the
building is located, without complying with any other provisions of
this article, provided that the county board of supervisors finds
that all of the following conditions exist:
(a) The sale or lease is to be made to an incorporated nonprofit
tax-exempt community or civic organization with a membership
comprised predominantly of persons residing in the community in which
the building and site are situated.
(b) The building is not suitable for school purposes.
(c) The building has an historic value and its preservation and
utilization for the benefit of the community will best be ensured by
sale or lease to an organization specified in subdivision (a).
(d) The sale or lease is to be executed for a consideration to
enure to the school district reflecting the fair market value of the
property, or its fair rental value, as the case may be, except that
the sale may be executed for a consideration that is less than the
fair market value of the property if all of the following conditions
exist:
(1) More than 50 percent of the buildings on the site have been
designated as historically significant by the State Historical
Resources Commission.
(2) For a period of 25 years, commencing with the date that
possession of the property is transferred, the building or buildings
designated pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be used and maintained for
public benefit as an historical resource, and the site shall
otherwise be available for public access and use, including, but not
limited to, park and recreational uses. Any violation of this
condition shall result in the automatic reversion of title to the
property so transferred, without remuneration, to the transferor
school district. The condition set forth in this paragraph does not
prohibit any use of the site that is necessary or appropriate to its
use and maintenance for historical purposes.
(3) The consideration paid is equal to or greater than the sum of
the actual cost of the acquisition of the property by the school
district and the actual cost of any capital improvements made to the
property.
(e) Adequate provision has been made in connection with the sale
or lease transaction to protect the district against all civil
liabilities which might arise in connection with any use of the
building and site.
