(a) The board shall be the principal local public agent for the acquisition, lease disposition, and sale of real property transferred pursuant to the “Pryor Amendment”, except as otherwise provided in this section. The board may take title to property transferred pursuant to the “Pryor Amendment” within the area of the base that is either turned over to the board by the federal government at no cost or that is purchased. The board may sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of this property at full market value or at less than full market value in order to facilitate the rapid and successful transition of the base to civilian use. In any transaction involving the transfer of federal property, the board shall fully satisfy all conditions, requirements, and understandings with the federal government with respect to the use and disposal of that property. In the sale, lease, or disposition of real property, the board shall follow the procedures and make those determinations that are required of redevelopment agencies pursuant to Article 11 (commencing with Section 33430) of Chapter 4 of Part 1 of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code.
(b) (1) The board shall transfer all real and personal property received pursuant to this section and intended for municipal or county use, except for property subject to paragraph (4), within a reasonable period of time after receiving title to the property to the city or county with jurisdiction over the property, and all transfers pursuant to this paragraph shall be at no cost to the city or county except for the reasonable costs incurred by the board as a result of the transfer, management, servicing, maintenance, and enhancement of the property, and except for any payments required to be made to the federal government as a result of the transfer.
(2) The board shall transfer or lease all real and personal property received pursuant to this section and which is intended for private use, except for uses specified in paragraph (3), within a reasonable period of time after receiving title to the property. Any proceeds received by the board each year as a result of the sale or lease of the property, net of all costs incurred by the board as a result of the sale, management, servicing, maintenance, and enhancement of the property, and net of all payments made to the federal government due to the property, shall be divided as follows: 50 percent of the net proceeds received each year shall be paid to the city or county with jurisdiction over the property, and 50 percent of the proceeds shall be retained by the board to help finance its responsibilities for the reuse of Fort Ord, unless otherwise agreed upon by the city or county with jurisdiction over the property and the board.
(3) The board shall transfer or lease all real or personal property received pursuant to this section and which is intended for public utility use within a reasonable period of time, consistent with the orderly and economical provision of utility services to the area of Fort Ord, under terms and conditions the board may determine.
(4) Notwithstanding any other paragraph of this subdivision, the board may retain real or personal property received pursuant to this section as long as both of the following occur:
(i) The board determines that retention of the property is necessary or convenient to carrying out the authority’s responsibilities pursuant to law.
(ii) The board determines that its retention of the property will not cause significant financial hardship to the city or county with jurisdiction over the property.
(c) The board may mediate and resolve conflicts between local agencies concerning the uses of federal land to be transferred for public benefit purposes or other uses.
(d) The provisions of this title shall not preclude negotiations between the federal government and any local telecommunication, water, gas, electric, or cable provider for the transfer to any utility or provider of federally owned distribution systems and related facilities serving Fort Ord.
(e) This title shall not be construed to limit the rights of the California State University or the University of California to acquire, hold, and use real property at Fort Ord, including locating or developing educationally related or research oriented facilities on this property.
(f) Except for property transferred to the California State University, or to the University of California, and that is used for educational or research purposes, and except for property transferred to the California Department of Parks and Recreation, all property transferred from the federal government to any user or purchaser, whether public or private, shall be used only in a manner consistent with the plan adopted or revised pursuant to Section 67675.
