HOUSE BILL 1697
AN ACT to Permit the warren field airport commission to lease property for more than ten years.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 160A-272 reads as rewritten:
"§ 160A-272. Lease or rental of property.
Any property owned by a city may be leased or rented for such
terms and upon such conditions as the council may determine, but not for longer
than 1025 years (except as otherwise provided herein) and only if
the council determines that the property will not be needed by the city for the
term of the lease. In determining the term of a proposed lease, periods that
may be added to the original term by options to renew or extend shall be
included. Property may be rented or leased only pursuant to a resolution of the
council authorizing the execution of the lease or rental agreement adopted at a
regular council meeting upon 10 days' public notice. Notice shall be given by
publication describing the property to be leased or rented, stating the annual
rental or lease payments, and announcing the council's intent to authorize the
lease or rental at its next regular meeting.
No public notice need be given for resolutions authorizing leases or rentals for terms of one year or less, and the council may delegate to the city manager or some other city administrative officer authority to lease or rent city property for terms of one year or less. Leases for terms of more than 10 years shall be treated as a sale of property and may be executed by following any of the procedures authorized for sale of real property."
SECTION 2. This act applies only to the Warren Field Airport Commission.
SECTION 3. This act is effective when it becomes law.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 19th day of August, 2002.
