February 19, 2021

An act to amend Section 50533 of the Government Code, relating to local government.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 807, as introduced, Wieckowski. Public square: construction of building.
Existing law regulates public property of a local agency, as defined. Existing law defines the term “public square” for these purposes and authorizes the construction of a public building thereon if the legislative body of the local agency finds that is the best use for that land. If the public square is located in a city and it is the intention of the city to grant or lease the public square to the county, existing law authorizes granting or leasing the public square to the county for the construction by the county of the proposed public building.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 50533 of the Government Code is amended to read:

50533.
 If the legislative body of the local agency in which the public square is located finds that the highest and best use to which the land may be put is the erection thereon of the proposed public building, it may provide by ordinance that the public square may be used as a site for the proposed public building or, if located in a city and it is the intention of the city to grant or lease the public square to the county, that it the public square may be granted or leased to the county for the erection thereon by the county of the proposed public building.
