14670.25. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the director may let the Nurses Cottage at the Agnew’s Developmental Center in the City of Santa Clara and units 11 to 15, inclusive, of Building No. 7 at west campus of the center, and Buildings No. 213 and 215 at the Metropolitan State Hospital in the City of Norwalk, with the consent of the affected state agency, pursuant to Section 14670 for emergency shelters or feeding programs for a period of not more than five years to qualified nonprofit organizations.
At the end of the initial five-year period and every five years thereafter, the lease shall be reviewed to assure compliance by the lessee with the original purposes of the agreement and may be renewed if appropriate. Property let for that purpose shall be let for the amount of one dollar ($1) per month. The lease amount may be paid in advance of the term covered in order to reduce the administrative costs associated with the payment of the monthly rental fee.
Any lease executed pursuant to this section shall also provide for the cost of administering the lease. The administrative fee shall not exceed three hundred dollars ($300) per year, unless the director and the affected state agency determine that, because of complications in the lease agreement, a higher administrative fee is required.
(b) The Legislature finds and declares that the lease of real property pursuant to this section serves a public purpose.
(c) For purposes of this section, “qualified nonprofit organizations” include only those organizations which can demonstrate the ability to pay liability insurance and other costs of maintaining the leased property incurred in providing services for the homeless.
