6source of the funds used to acquire the property.

SB0689- 3 -LRB100 05548 MLM 15562 b

1the reason for the transfer and the intended use to be made of
2such surplus real property. The Administrator may deny any or
3all such requests by a State agency or agencies if the
4Administrator determines that it is more advantageous to the
5State to dispose of the surplus real property under paragraph
6(d). In case requests for the same surplus real property are
7received from more than one State agency, the Administrator
8shall weigh the benefits to the State and determine to which
9agency, if any, to transfer control of such property. The
10Administrator shall coordinate the use and disposal of State
11surplus real property with any State space utilization program.
12    (d) Any surplus real property which is not transferred to
13the control of another State agency under paragraph (c) shall
14be disposed of by the Administrator. No appraisal is required
15if during his initial survey of surplus real property the
16Administrator determines such property has a fair market value
17of less than $5,000. If the value of such property is
18determined by the Administrator in his initial survey to be
19$5,000 or more, then the Administrator shall obtain 3
20appraisals of such real property, one of which shall be
21performed by an appraiser residing in the county in which said
22surplus real property is located. The average of these 3
23appraisals, plus the costs of obtaining the appraisals, shall
24represent the fair market value of the surplus real property.
25No surplus real property may be conveyed by the Administrator
26for less than the fair market value. Prior to offering the

1surplus real property for sale to the public the Administrator
2shall give notice in writing of the existence and fair market
3value of the surplus real property to the governing bodies of
4the county and of all cities, villages and incorporated towns
5in the county in which such real property is located. Any such
6governing body may exercise its option to acquire the surplus
7real property for the fair market value within 60 days of the
8notice. After the 60 day period has passed, the Administrator
9may sell the surplus real property by public auction following
10notice of such sale by publication on 3 separate days not less
11than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to the sale in the State
12newspaper and in a newspaper having general circulation in the
13county in which the surplus real property is located. The
14Administrator shall post "For Sale" signs of a conspicuous
15nature on such surplus real property offered for sale to the
16public. If no acceptable offers for the surplus real property
17are received, the Administrator may have new appraisals of such
18property made. The Administrator shall have all power necessary
19to convey surplus real property under this Section. All moneys
20received for the sale of surplus real property shall be
21deposited in the General Revenue Fund, except that:
22        (1) Where moneys expended for the acquisition of such
23    real property were from a special fund which is still a
24    special fund in the State treasury, this special fund shall
25    be reimbursed in the amount of the original expenditure and
26    any amount in excess thereof shall be deposited in the

2        (2) Whenever a State mental health facility operated by
3    the Department of Human Services is closed and the real
4    estate on which the facility is located is sold by the
5    State, the net proceeds of the sale of the real estate
6    shall be deposited into the Community Mental Health
7    Medicaid Trust Fund.
8        (3) Whenever a State developmental disabilities

19demonstrate to prospective purchasers or bidders good and
20marketable title in any property offered for sale pursuant to
21this Section. Unless otherwise specifically authorized by the
22General Assembly, all conveyances of property made by the
23Administrator shall be by quit claim deed.
