PRC §5006.5: The department may lease any interest in real or personal property that the department deems necessary or proper for the extension, improvement, or development of the state park system.

The department may lease any interest in real or personal property that the department deems necessary or proper for the extension, improvement, or development of the state park system. A lease described in this section shall require the consent of the Department of General Services, unless consent is waived by the Department of General Services. Payment from state money in excess of one thousand dollars ($1,000) a year shall not be made pursuant to any such lease unless money equal to or exceeding one-half of the excess over one thousand dollars ($1,000) is made available for expenditure by the state for this purpose by some person, corporation, public district, municipality or political subdivision other than the state, or by the United States or a federal agency. A lease shall not be executed under this section until the department has first consulted with the planning commission of the county in which the department proposes to lease lands for park or recreational purposes. This section shall not apply when the Department of General Services leases land for the use of the Department of Parks and Recreation under Section 14669 of the Government Code.
