    AN ACT Relating to the sale of port property; and amending RCW 53.08.090.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

    Sec. 1.  RCW 53.08.090 and 1981 c 262 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

    A port commission may, by resolution, authorize the managing official of a port district to sell and convey port district property of less than ((twenty-five hundred)) ten thousand dollars in value.  ((Such)) The ten thousand dollar limit specified in this section shall be adjusted annually based on the governmental price index established by the department of revenue under RCW 82.14.200.  The authority shall be in force for not more than one calendar year from the date of resolution and may be renewed from year to year.  Prior to any such sale or conveyance the managing official shall itemize and list the property to be sold and make written certification to the commission that the listed property is no longer needed for district purposes.  Any large block of ((such)) the property having a value in excess of ((twenty-five hundred)) ten thousand dollars shall not be broken down into components of less than ((twenty-five hundred)) ten thousand dollars value and sold in ((such)) the smaller components unless ((such)) the smaller components be sold by public competitive bid.  A port district may sell and convey any of its real or personal property valued at more than ((twenty-five hundred)) ten thousand dollars when the port commission has, by resolution, declared the property to be no longer needed for district purposes, but no property which is a part of the comprehensive plan of improvement or modification thereof shall be disposed of until the comprehensive plan has been modified to find ((such)) the property surplus to port needs.  The comprehensive plan shall be modified only after public notice and hearing provided by RCW 53.20.010.

    Nothing in this section shall be deemed to repeal or modify procedures for property sales within industrial development districts as set forth in chapter 53.25 RCW.
