(c) This transfer must be made in the same manner as timber revenues from other common school trust lands. No deduction may be made for the resource management cost account under RCW 79.64.040. The portion of the appropriation in this section that represents the value of the land transferred must be deposited in the natural resources real property replacement account.

(3) Property subject to lease agreements under this section must be appraised at fair market value. Lease terms must be fifty years with options to renew for an additional fifty years. Lease payments must be lump sum payments for the entire term of the lease at the beginning of the lease. The department shall calculate such lump sum payments using professional appraisal standards. These lease payments may not exceed the fee simple purchase price based on current fair market value and must be deposited by the department to the common school construction account in the same manner as lease revenues from other common school trust lands. No deduction may be made for the resource management cost account under RCW 79.64.040.

(4) All reasonable costs incurred by the department to implement this section are authorized to be paid out of the appropriations. Authorized costs include the actual cost of appraisals, staff time, environmental reviews, surveys, and other similar costs and may not exceed one and nine-tenths percent of the appropriation.

Fee transfer agreements for properties identified in subsection (1) of this section must include terms that perpetually restrict the use of the property to the intended purpose. Lease agreements for properties identified in subsection (1) of this section must include terms that restrict use of the property to the intended purpose for the term of the lease. Transfer and lease agreements may include provisions for receiving agencies to request alternative uses of the property, provided the alternative uses are compatible with the originally intended public purpose and the department and legislature approves such uses.

(7) The department and receiving agencies shall work in good faith to carry out the intent of this section. However, the department or receiving agencies may remove a property from the transfer list based on new, substantive information, if it is determined that transfer of the property is not in the statewide interest of either the common school trust or the receiving agency.

(8) By June 30, 2017, the state treasurer shall transfer to the common school construction account any unexpended balance of the appropriation in this section.
