Title 12, Chapter 3, Section 251
( 12-3-251)
(a) The authority is directed, as soon as it deems it feasible to do
so, to set aside sufficient land on Jekyll Island to provide a
suitable plot for each county in the state for use for charitable
purposes. (b) The authorities having charge of the fiscal affairs of any
county desiring to use such plot shall file with the authority a
proposal setting forth the use to which such plot is to be placed,
the person or persons to have charge and control of the same, and
the nature of improvements to be placed thereon. Such proposal
shall also disclose how funds are to be secured for the improvement
and operation of the facilities. (c) If the authority deems such proposal to be in the public
interest and to the advantage of the state park, it may lease such
plot for a period not exceeding 20 years to the fiscal authority of
such county or to properly appointed trustees. Such lease shall
provide such restrictions, covenants, and conditions as the
authority deems proper and shall provide for the termination of the
lease upon violation of the provisions of the lease. (d) Should the authorities having charge of the fiscal affairs of
any county fail to claim and present a plan to improve on or before
March 1, 1960, the plot of land set aside for such county under this
Code section, the authority shall be under no further obligation to
furnish any such plot of land on Jekyll Island. |
