    Upon transfer of this property, the parcel shall become part of the Washington State University Lind dryland research unit.  Any and all lease income derived from current leases on the property shall be deposited in a dedicated Washington State University local account for the benefit of the Lind dryland research unit.

    (3) The department of natural resources shall sell the real property legally described as lots 28 and 29, block 10, Neilson Brothers plat,  City of Lind, Adams county and the proceeds of the sale shall be deposited into the permanent common school fund.
