Section § 22500

Explanation

If a water district board decides that certain property is no longer needed, they can choose to sell or lease it. They must do this in a way that benefits the district, and they can sell or lease it to the state, cities, counties, or other governmental bodies.

When a board determines by resolution entered upon the minutes that any property of the district is no longer necessary for district purposes, the district may for a valuable consideration sell or lease the property upon terms that appear to the board to be for the best interests of the district. Sales and leases authorized under this section include sales and leases to the State and to cities, counties, districts and other political subdivisions of the State.

Section § 22501

Explanation

This law allows a district to lease out the rights to extract minerals or hydrocarbons from its property. However, they can only do so if the board decides it's advantageous for the district and officially agrees that such activities won't disrupt the property's use for district purposes.

A district may lease the right to produce any minerals or hydrocarbons in any property held by it upon the terms the board deems most beneficial to the district after the board has found by a resolution entered in its minutes that the lease may be carried out without interfering with the use of the property for district purposes.

A district may sell, convey, lease, give and take options and contracts of sale upon, and otherwise deal with property acquired by it through a collector’s deed, including sale to a former owner or holder, on terms and at a price approved by its board.

Section § 22505

Explanation

This law allows a district to lease its property to various government entities such as the State of California, a city, or a county. The lease should be beneficial to the district and doesn't need public notice or competitive bidding. However, the district's board must formally agree that the lease is in the district's best interests and won't disrupt its use of the property.

A district may lease any of its property to the State of California, a public agency of the State, a city, county, district, or other political subdivision of the State, whenever such a lease will benefit the district. Property may be so leased for monetary consideration or other benefit to the district without publishing notice or receiving bids if the board, by resolution entered upon its minutes, determines that the leasing is for the best interests of the district and will not interfere with the use of the property by the district for district purposes.

Section § 22506

Explanation

This section allows a district's board to lease out district property if they decide that the leasing won't conflict with how the district uses the property. The leasing must be beneficial to the district and the board must agree that the terms of the lease are in the district's best interests.

When a board determines by resolution entered upon the minutes that any property of the district may be leased for a use or purpose that will not interfere with or be inconsistent with district uses or purposes, the district may, for a valuable consideration, lease the property for such use or purpose upon terms that appear to the board to be for the best interests of the district.
