1 longer needed and may dispose of them by an affirmative vote
2 of at least three members.
3 (f)1. In reviewing lands owned by the board, the
4 council shall consider whether such lands would be more
5 appropriately owned or managed by the county or other unit of
6 local government in which the land is located. The council
7 shall 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 2. Notwithstanding subparagraph 1., any surplus lands
25 that were acquired by the state prior to 1958 by a gift or
26 other conveyance for no consideration from a municipality, and
27 which the department has filed by July 1, 2006, a notice of
28 its intent to surplus, shall be first offered for reconveyance
29 to such municipality at no cost, but for the fair market value
30 of any building or other improvements to the land, unless
31 otherwise provided in a deed restriction of record. This

4 the state prior to 1955 by gift or other conveyance for no
5 consideration from a fair association incorporated under
6 chapter 616 for the purpose of conducting and operating public
7 fairs or expositions, and for which the department has filed
8 by July 1, 2007, a notice of intent to surplus, shall be
9 offered for reconveyance to such fair association; however,
10 the agency that last held a lease from the board for
11 management of such lands may remove from the lands any
12 improvements, fixtures, goods, wares, and merchandise within
13 180 days after the effective date of the reconveyance. This
