Notice of Meetings

On Tuesday, January 24, 2012, the Little Hoover Commission will conduct a public hearing on property management in California. The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. in Room 2040 of the State Capitol in Sacramento.

The Little Hoover Commission is taking a broad look at the range of property interests held by the state and the process in which these properties are managed, a topic that has seen renewed interest among state leaders and changes in the law relating to the reporting of state property utilization. The Commission’s goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of how the state holds and manages its various property interests and to identify specific areas where the process can be improved.

At the January 24, 2012 hearing, the Commission will hear from the owner of a private real estate company who was the first director of the Governor’s Office of Asset Management, and from a former director of the Department of General Services. The Commission then will hear about government asset management from a senior fellow from The Urban Institute. Following her testimony, the geographic information officer from the California Technology Agency will speak about the benefits of using mapping technology in managing assets. Finally, the Commission will hear about management of California fairgrounds from the director of the state’s Division of Fairgrounds and Expositions in the Department of Food and Agriculture.

There will be an opportunity for public comment at the end of the hearing. The Commission also encourages written comments. Immediately following the hearing, the Commission will hold a business meeting in the Legislative Counsel Conference Room in the Lower Level of 925 L Street, Sacramento.

On Monday, January 23, 2012, the Property Management Subcommittee of the Little Hoover Commission will hold an advisory committee meeting on current property management practices within state agencies. The meeting will begin at 1:30 p.m. in the Legislative Counsel Conference Room in the Lower Level of 925 L Street, Sacramento.
