Summary

The California Constitution generally prohibits the making of a gift of any public money, or thing of value. Existing law authorizes a city to purchase, lease, receive, hold, and enjoy real and personal property, and control and dispose of it for the common benefit, and to lease property owned or held or controlled by it, or any of its departments, as prescribed. This bill would authorize a city to dispose of real property, as provided, or provide compensation to a private entity, if the legislative body of the city is presented with, or presents, substantial evidence that the disposition of the property or provision of compensation would stimulate job creation and economic development within the boundaries of the city, and that the amount of private benefit provided would not outweigh the amount of public benefit received through the disposition of the property or the provision of compensation. The bill would provide that the disposition of real property or provision of compensation under these circumstances would not constitute a gift of public funds under the California Constitution.
