Transfer or lease of real property owned or controlled by political subdivision
• procedure in case of qualified title
(1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section and subject to subsection (3) of this section, whenever any political subdivision possesses or controls real property not needed for public use, or whenever the public interest may be furthered, a political subdivision may sell, exchange, convey or lease for any period not exceeding 99 years all or any part of the political subdivision’s interest in the property to a governmental body or private individual or corporation. The consideration for the transfer or lease may be cash or real property, or both.
(2) If the ownership, right or title of the political subdivision to any real property set apart by deed, will or otherwise for a burial ground or cemetery, or for the purpose of interring the remains of deceased persons, is limited or qualified or the use of the real property is restricted, whether by dedication or otherwise, the political subdivision may, after the county court or governing body thereof has first declared by resolution that the real property is not needed for public use, or that the sale, exchange, conveyance or lease of the real property will further the public interest, file a complaint in the circuit court for the county in which the real property is located against all persons claiming any right, title or interest in the real property, whether the interest be contingent, conditional or otherwise, for authority to sell, exchange, convey or lease all or any part of the real property. The resolution is prima facie evidence that the real property is not needed for public use, or that the sale, exchange, conveyance or lease will further the public interest. The action shall be commenced and prosecuted to final determination in the same manner as an action not triable by right to a jury. The complaint shall contain a description of the real property, a statement of the nature of the restriction, qualification or limitations, and a statement that the defendants claim some interest therein. The court shall make such judgment as it shall deem proper, taking into consideration the limitation, qualifications or restrictions, the resolution, and all other matters pertinent thereto. Neither costs nor disbursements may be recovered against any defendant.
(3)(a) At least 30 days before listing or placing real property for sale, exchange or conveyance, a political subdivision shall notify the Department of Transportation of its intent to sell, exchange or convey the real property if the real property is within 100 feet of a railroad right of way or is within 500 feet of an at-grade rail crossing.
(b) The department shall share the advance notice with private providers of rail service that might be interested in obtaining the real property to facilitate the current delivery or future expansion of rail service. Notwithstanding the benefit of receiving advance notice, a private provider of rail service may not obtain or enter into negotiations to obtain the real property until the political subdivision offers the real property for sale, exchange, conveyance or lease to the general public. As used in this paragraph, "general public" includes private providers of rail service.
(c) Paragraph (a) of this subsection does not apply:
(A) To light rail corridors and any other rail corridors excluded by rule of the department;
(B) If the proposed sale, exchange or conveyance of the real property is to a provider of rail service; or
(C) To the proposed sale, exchange or conveyance of easements.
(d) The department shall adopt rules to implement this subsection. The rules may include provisions that:
(A) Identify rail corridors within which a political subdivision is not required to provide notice of intention to sell, exchange or convey real property within 100 feet of a railroad right of way or within 500 feet of an at-grade rail crossing.
(B) Establish a process for providing advance notice to private providers of rail service.
(4) Unless the governing body of a political subdivision determines under subsection (1) of this section that the public interest may be furthered, real property needed for public use by any political subdivision owning or controlling the property may not be sold, exchanged, conveyed or leased under the authority of ORS 271.300 (Application and administration of ORS 271.300 to 271.360) to 271.360 (Lease requirements), except that it may be exchanged for property that is of equal or superior useful value for public use. Any such property not immediately needed for public use may be leased if, in the discretion of the governing body having control of the property, the property will not be needed for public use within the period of the lease.
(5) The authority to lease property granted by this section includes authority to lease property not owned or controlled by the political subdivision at the time of entering into the lease. A lease under this subsection shall be conditioned upon the subsequent acquisition of the interest covered by the lease.

City council's decision to sell publicly owned prop­erty pursuant to this sec­tion was legislative, as it did not entail an adjudicatory applica­tion of pre-existing criteria to concrete facts and therefore was not judicially reviewable by writ of review.
