Section 14-2-26

Kilby property - Sale or lease by authority.

(a) The authority shall have the power to sell, convey and lease all or any part of the Kilby property and, as an aid to such sale or lease, to cause to be prepared by competent real estate experts a land use map and plan. No such sale or lease shall be made, however, except at public offering, on sealed bids or at auction, and upon such published notice as the authority shall determine to be necessary or desirable in order to attract the greatest interest from prospective bidders. Notice of any public sale or lease shall, in any event, be given by publication in at least three newspapers of general circulation published in the state at least three times, the first notice to be published not less than 60 days before the date of such public offering, the second notice to be published not less than 30 days nor more than 40 days before such public offering and the third notice to be published not less than 10 days nor more than 20 days before such public offering.

(b) The award of any property offered for sale or lease shall be made to the highest responsible bidder unless all bids shall be rejected as inadequate and other public offering shall be made upon notice republished as before. Any sale shall be for all cash or at least one-third cash and the balance payable in not exceeding three years, bearing interest at the legal rate, payable in such manner as may be specified by the authority and secured by a purchase money mortgage on the property sold. Each deed or lease to effectuate any such sale or lease shall be signed in the name of the authority by its president, to which the seal of the authority shall be affixed and attested by its secretary.

(c) The proceeds of each sale or lease of any such property shall be used first to pay the reasonable and necessary expenses of the sale or lease, and the balance remaining shall be paid to the State Treasurer and held by him in a special account and disbursed on order of the authority for any one or more of the following purposes:

(1) If none of the bonds authorized in this chapter shall be outstanding at the time of the sale or lease, the said remaining proceeds, to the extent necessary, shall be used to acquire land for and to construct, reconstruct and equip one or more facilities; and
(2) At any time while any of the bonds authorized under this chapter shall be outstanding, the said remaining proceeds shall be disbursed solely for payment, at their respective maturities of the principal of, and interest on, such bonds or to redeem bonds at the then applicable redemption price provided for in the proceedings under which such bonds may be issued.

(d) Nothing contained in this section or in any pledge made pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be construed to impose a lien on any part of the Kilby property, and the purchasers and lessees of the Kilby property, or any part thereof, shall not be obligated to assure that the proceeds of any sale or lease of any of the Kilby property are disbursed as are provided in this section.
