The legislature hereby finds and declares the following: (a) Based upon information contained in a statewide property inventory, the state has both substantial real estate needs and resources. (b) The Department of General Services has developed a Riverside/San Bernardino Regional Facilities Study that utilizes the information contained in the inventory to create a framework of management principles and strategies to guide the state’s real estate decisions through the next 10 years. The plan incorporates strategies that consolidate state agencies, reduce the number of leased facilities, create a strong state presence in Riverside and San Bernardino, and improve access to the state’s clientele base. (c) The state’s real estate needs and the satisfaction of those needs, whether by redevelopment of existing state property, acquisition, leasing or construction, require thoughtful strategic planning and the coordinated effort of all departments.
