50282
. (a) Each contract shall provide that on the anniversary date
of the contract or such other annual date as is specified in the
contract, a year shall be added automatically to the initial term of
the contract unless notice of nonrenewal is given as provided in this
section. Each contract shall also provide that after five years, and
every five years thereafter, the city, county, or city and county
shall inspect the interior and exterior of the premises to determine
the owner's continued compliance with the contract. If the property
owner or the legislative body desires in any year not to renew the
contract, that party shall serve written notice of nonrenewal of the
contract on the other party in advance of the annual renewal date of
the contract. Unless the notice is served by the owner at least 90
days prior to the renewal date or by the legislative body at least 60
days prior to the renewal date, one year shall automatically be
added to the term of the contract.
(b) Upon receipt by the owner of a notice from the legislative
body of nonrenewal, the owner may make a written protest of the
notice of nonrenewal. The legislative body may, at any time prior to
the renewal date, withdraw the notice of nonrenewal.
(c) If the legislative body or the owner serves notice of intent
in any year not to renew the contract, the existing contract shall
remain in effect for the balance of the period remaining since the
original execution or the last renewal of the contract, as the case
may be.
(d) The owner shall furnish the legislative body with any
information the legislative body shall require in order to enable it
to determine the eligibility of the property involved.
(e) No later than 20 days after a city or county enters into a
contract with an owner pursuant to this article, the clerk of the
legislative body shall record with the county recorder a copy of the
contract, which shall describe the property subject thereto. From and
after the time of the recordation, this contract shall impart a
notice thereof to all persons as is afforded by the recording laws of
this state.
