hearing. Notice of the date, time, place, and purpose of the hearing
shall be published once not less than 10 nor more than 20 days prior
to the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation printed and
published in the city, or, if there be no such newspaper printed and

public places in the city not less than 10 nor more than 20 days
prior to the date of the hearing.

32950.5. Whenever it becomes necessary to remove, relocate, or
alter any property devoted to a public use as a result of
condemnation proceedings brought by the authority, the cost of such
removal, relocation, or alteration shall be paid by the authority.

32951. Except when approved by the legislative body, by ordinance
or resolution, property being used as a facility for the parking or
storing of motor vehicles shall not be acquired by an authority,
unless the project to be furnished or constructed which necessitates
the acquisition of the existing facility when completed will provide
a parking capacity at least three times the parking capacity provided
by the existing facility.
If this section is held invalid, no existing parking facility may
be acquired by an authority.

32951.5. Section 32951 shall not apply where the project to be
furnished or constructed is to be leased by the authority to the
city.

32952. The authority may lease any project acquired by it pursuant
to this part to the highest responsible bidder after a notice
inviting bids has been published in the city pursuant to Section 6066
of the Government Code. If there is no newspaper of general
circulation printed or published in the city, copies of the notice
shall be posted in at least three public places in the city.
Publication shall be commenced or notice posted not less than 15 days
prior to the date set in the notice for the opening of bids.

rental to be paid under the lease. The notice shall recite that
there is reserved to the authority the power to fix and determine the
rates to be charged by the bidder for the parking or storing of
motor vehicles.

valid is received upon the original advertising, the authority need

bids as provided in this chapter once every year.

32957. Sections 32952 to 32956, inclusive, shall not apply to the
