22 (6) The Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement
23 Trust Fund shall determine which lands, the title to which is
24 vested in the board, may be surplused. For conservation lands,

1 lands are no longer needed and may dispose of them by majority
2 vote.
3 (f) In reviewing lands owned by the board, the council
4 shall consider whether such lands would be more appropriately
5 owned or managed by the county or other unit of local
6 government in which the land is located. The council shall
7 recommend to the board whether a sale, lease, or other
8 conveyance to a local government would be in the best
9 interests of the state and local government. The provisions of
10 this paragraph in no way limit the provisions of ss. 253.111
11 and 253.115. Such lands shall be offered to the state, county,
12 or local government for a period of 30 days. Permittable uses
13 for such surplus lands may include public schools; public
14 libraries; fire or law enforcement substations; and
15 governmental, judicial, or recreational centers. County or
16 local government requests for surplus lands shall be expedited
17 throughout the surplusing process. If the county or local
18 government does not elect to purchase such lands in accordance
19 with s. 253.111, then any surplusing determination involving
20 other governmental agencies shall be made upon the board
21 deciding the best public use of the lands. Surplus properties
22 in which governmental agencies have expressed no interest
23 shall then be available for sale on the private market.
24 Notwithstanding this section, any surplus lands that were
25 acquired by the state prior to 1960 by a gift or other
26 conveyance for no consideration from a municipality shall be
27 first offered for reconveyance at no cost to such
28 municipality, unless otherwise provided in a deed restriction
29 of record.

Amendment No. ___ Barcode 665522
1 Florida, commonly referred to as the "Teneroc Exchange", the
2 Legislature finds that the completion of the land exchange is
3 in the public interest; the lands currently owned by the Board
4 of Trustees which are to be conveyed to the City of Lakeland,
5 Florida, are no longer needed for conservation purposes; and
6 the lands proposed to be exchanged are considered to be of
7 equal value and no further consideration shall be paid by the
8 Board of Trustees or the City of Lakeland.
9 (b) Notwithstanding the requirements of Chapters 253,
10 259, and 270, Florida Statutes, the Board of Trustees and the
11 City of Lakeland, Florida shall consummate this exchange no
12 later than July 31, 2003. The Board of Trustees shall include
13 in the deed of conveyance to the City of Lakeland a deed
14 restriction that limits the use of the portion of the property
15 that was received by the Board as a donation to that of a
16 public purpose use by the City of Lakeland. The Board of
17 Trustees' deed of conveyance of the donated property shall
18 also contain a reverter that automatically reverts title to
19 the Board of Trustees if the City of Lakeland fails to use the
20 property for a public purpose.
