LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

Existing law establishes a procedure by which a city may sell a public building and site dedicated to a public use, including requiring the city to adopt a resolution of intention, receive protest to the sale, and hold a special election on the proposition of the sale.

Existing law specifies that this procedure is an alternative to specified other authority for cities to dispose of city-owned property.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.

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

SECTION 1.

Section 37420 of the Government Code is amended to read:

37420.

The provisions of this article are alternative to Sections 37350 and 37351 of this code and any other authority granted by law granting authority to cities to dispose of city-owned property.
