To Waive the Sale or Lease of Surplus Property - Waivers (CA Dept of Education)
To Waive the Sale or Lease of Surplus Property
The following are examples of language that has previously been used when state board has considered sale or lease of surplus property waivers.	Education Code § 17455.
The governing board of any school district may sell any real property belonging to the school district or may lease for a term not exceeding 99 years, any real property, together with any personal property located thereon, belonging to the school district which is not or will not be needed by the district for school classroom buildings at the time of delivery of title or possession. The sale or lease may be made without first taking a vote of the electors of the district, and shall be made in the manner provided by this article.
Rationale: The language indicating that the sale of the property is to be made in the manner provided by this article is to be waived since the District is asking that several provisions of the article be waived and consequently, the sale will not be made in the manner provided in Article 4.
Education Code § 17466.
Before ordering the sale or lease of any property the governing board, in a regular open meeting, by a two-thirds vote of all its members, shall adopt a resolution, declaring its intention to sell or lease the property, as the case may be. The resolution shall describe the property proposed to be sold or leased in such manner as to identify it and shall specify the minimum price or rental and the terms upon which it will be sold or leased and the commission, or rate thereof, if any, which the board will pay to a licensed real estate broker out of the minimum price or rental. The resolution shall fix a time not less than three weeks thereafter for a public meeting of the governing board to be held at its regular place of meeting, at which sealed proposals to purchase or lease will be received and considered.
Rationale: The stricken language to be waived provides for the governing board to establish a minimum price and receive sealed proposals for the purchase of the property at an identified meeting of the District’s governing board. The District is requesting that the requirement of sealed proposals to purchase the property be waived, allowing the District to negotiate the sale of the Former Oasis School Site with an interested purchaser. As the District cannot predict in advance the timing of negotiations with interested purchasers, it cannot at the time of adopting the resolution contemplated by this Section 17466 know when proposals must be brought back to the governing board for consideration. The District intends to utilize the services of a broker to advertise and solicit proposals for the purchase of the Former Oasis School Site, and bring proposals to the governing board when necessary to consider the approval of a sale.
Education Code § 17468.
If, in the discretion of the board, it is advisable to offer to pay a commission to a licensed real estate broker who is instrumental in obtaining any proposal, the commission shall be specified in the resolution. No commission shall be paid unless there is contained in or with the sealed proposal or stated in or with the oral bid, which is finally accepted, the name of the licensed real estate broker to whom it is to be paid, and the amount or rate thereof. Any commission shall, however, be paid only out of money received by the board from the sale or rental of the real property.
Rationale: The stricken language to be waived provides for the District to receive sealed proposals and oral bids to purchase the property at an identified meeting of the District’s governing board. The District is requesting that the requirement of sealed proposals and oral bidding to purchase the property be waived, allowing the District to negotiate the sale of the Former Oasis School Site with an interested purchaser.
Education Code § 17469.
Notice of the adoption of the resolution and of the time and place of holding the meeting shall be given by posting copies of the resolution signed by the board or by a majority thereof in three public places in the district, not less than 15 days before the date of the meeting, and by publishing the notice not less than once a week for three successive weeks before the meeting in a newspaper of general circulation published in the county in which the district or any part thereof is situated, if any such newspaper is published therein.
Rationale: The stricken language to be waived assumes that the Board would be setting a specific meeting to receive proposals for the purchase of the Former Oasis School Site. Such a requirement, however, will be removed pursuant to the language stricken within Education Code Section 17466. As modified, the District would still be required to provide notice of its adoption of a resolution of intent to sell the property, but the posting of that resolution and notice in a newspaper would no longer be tied to an established date to receive proposals.
Education Code § 17470.
(a) The governing board of a school district that intends to sell real property pursuant to this article shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the former owner from whom the district acquired the property receives notice of the public meeting prescribed by Section 17466, in writing, by certified mail, at least 60 days prior to the meeting.
(b) The governing board of a school district shall not be required to accord the former owner the right to purchase the property at the tentatively accepted highest bid price nor to offer to sell the property to the former owner at the tentatively accepted highest bid price.
Rationale: The stricken language to be waived assumes that the Board would be setting a specific meeting to receive proposals for the purchase of the Former Oasis School Site. Such a requirement, however, will be removed pursuant to the language stricken within Education Code Section 17466. As modified, the District would still be required to take reasonable steps to provide notice to the former owner, but the provision of such notice would no longer be tied to an established date to receive proposals.
Education Code § 17472.
At the time and place fixed in the resolution for the meeting of the governing body, all sealed proposals which have been received shall, in public session, be opened, examined, and declared by the board. Of the proposals submitted which conform to all terms and conditions specified in the resolution of intention to sell or to lease and which are made by responsible bidders, the proposal which is the highest, after deducting therefrom the commission, if any, to be paid a licensed real estate broker in connection therewith, shall be finally accepted, unless a higher oral bid is accepted or the board rejects all bids.
Rationale: The stricken language to be waived provides for the District to receive and open sealed proposals and oral bids to purchase the property at an identified meeting of the District’s governing board. The District is requesting that the requirement of sealed proposals and oral bidding to purchase the property be waived, allowing the District to negotiate the sale of the Former Oasis School Site with an interested purchaser. Education Code § 17473.
Before accepting any written proposal, the board shall call for oral bids. If, upon the call for oral bidding, any responsible person offers to purchase the property or to lease the property, as the case may be, upon the terms and conditions specified in the resolution, for a price or rental exceeding by at least 5 percent, the highest written proposal, after deducting the commission, if any, to be paid a licensed real estate broker in connection therewith, then the oral bid which is the highest after deducting any commission to be paid a licensed real estate broker, in connection therewith, which is made by a responsible person, shall be finally accepted.Final acceptance shall not be made, however, until the oral bid is reduced to writing and signed by the offeror.
Rationale: The entire section is to be waived because the District, in negotiating an agreement to sell the Former Oasis School Site, will not be accepting oral bids.
Education Code § 17474.
In the event of a sale on a higher oral bid to a purchaser procured by a licensed real estate broker, other than the broker who submitted the highest written proposal, and who is qualified as provided in Section 17468 of this code, the board shall allow a commission on the full amount for which the sale is confirmed. One-half of the commission on the amount of the highest written proposal shall be paid to the broker who submitted it, and the balance of the commission on the purchase price to the broker who procured the purchaser to whom the sale was confirmed.
Rationale: The entire section is to be waived because the District, in negotiating an agreement to sell the Former Oasis School Site, will not be accepting oral bids. Education Code § 17475.
The final acceptance by the governing body may be made either at the same session or at any adjourned session of the same meeting held within the 10 days next following.
Rationale: Modification of the section would remove the requirement that the governing board accept a proposal at the same meeting received, and would instead allow the governing board to consider proposals received and, as desired and appropriate, direct further negotiation.
The preceding sections, which are section 17455, 17466, 17468, 17469, 17470, 17472 through 17475, have strike-out but indicate the exact language being waived and is still valid.
