HBCSD Corruption

Proof of the lie:

The Quimby Act does not apply to school districts selling surplus property. 

The Naylor Act does apply to school districts’ surplus property but did not become operational until January 1, 1998.  HBCSD sold the Community Center to the city of Hermosa Beach in February 1978.

(1) According to The Resolution of Intention to Sell and Prescribing the Terms Thereof and the MOU, Exhibit G contained in the Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Pier Avenue School, HBCSD sold the Pier Avenue School Community Center to the city 40% below fair market price to retain priority leasing rights for classrooms, office and storage space when HBCSD enrollment surpassed 1,266 students as it did from 2010-2018.

(2) The Naylor Act is Article 5 of the of Part 10.5 School Facilities (17210-17653), Chapter 4 Property: Sale, Lease, Exchange (17385-17561).  The Naylor Act description as defined in section #17485:

“The Legislature is concerned that school playgrounds,

playing fields, and recreational real property will be lost for

those uses by the surrounding communities even if those communities

in their planning process have assumed that the properties would be

permanently available for recreation purposes.  It is the intent of

the Legislature in enacting this article to allow school districts

to recover their investment in surplus property while making it

possible for other agencies of government to acquire the property

and keep it available for playground, playing field or other outdoor

recreation and open-space purposes.” (Added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277,

Sec 3.  Effective January 1, 1997.  Operative January 1, 1998.)

(3) The Naylor Act did not become operational until January 1, 1998.  HBCSD sold the Community Center to the city of Hermosa Beach in February 1978.

(4) See also: OTHER FACTS:  Providing false information in the EIR (and therefore to the Coastal Commission) regarding the CDE Naylor Act regulations as it applies to North School.

(5) The Quimby Act was enacted in 1975 NOT in 1968 as claimed by HBCSD Attorney Terry Tao at the May 31, 2016 Joint meeting one week before the Measure S $59M vote.  The Quimby Act allows cities and counties to require that developers set aside either land for parks or pay fees for community park improvements.  The Quimby Act has nothing to do with HBCSD selling Pier Avenue School for less than fair market value to the city.
