(a) The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(1) There is no complete inventory of all state real property holdings containing information on present use, characteristics of the holding, or its value.
(2) Both the Auditor General and the California Commission on State Government Organization and Economy have found that there is state-owned real property which is presently unused and should be declared surplus, and that there is little or no internal or external review to determine if lands could be declared surplus.
(3) The Auditor General, in a report entitled “California Could Earn Millions of Dollars from Better Management of its Excess Land,” also found that the state is losing money by retaining property which is not being used. This deprives the General Fund of revenues which could be generated by the sale or transfer of surplus land.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature to improve the state’s management of its real property holdings by delegating to the Department of General Services the responsibility for maintaining a central inventory of the state’s real property holdings.
(c) It is also the intent of the Legislature that the staff of the Office of Space and Real Estate Services of the Department of General Services be utilized for the implementation of Section 11011.15.
