The contract shall be automatically renewed in the same manner as contracts are renewed and extended, or noticed for nonrenewal, under the Williamson Act (Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 51200) of Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code). Upon the request of the owner or lessee, the director shall reexamine the payment rate for the contract at five-year intervals, considering the then current management costs and, with the concurrence of the owner or lessee, make any needed adjustments in rates for the remainder of the contract term.
