If such transfer be made to the University of California or to any other public agency empowered to operate a hospital facility the transfer of control or ownership may be made with or without the payment of a purchase price by the transferee and otherwise upon such terms and conditions as the parties may mutually agree, but if the transfer be to a community nonprofit corporation, the board of supervisors shall comply with all other provisions of law relating to the sale, lease, or transfer of public property by a county; and provided that in any event the transaction shall include such terms and conditions as the board of supervisors find necessary to insure that the transfer will constitute an ongoing material benefit to the county and its residents.The intent of this section is to permit the implementation of programs for the consolidation of public hospital services in order to permit the more effective use of existing hospital facilities and retard the spiraling costs of medical care.(Amended by Stats. 1972, Ch. 709, Sec. 4.)
