Lands may be leased in tracts of such size and shape as the governing body may determine. Before executing a lease of any such property, the governing body shall in open meeting, by not less than a two-thirds vote of its members, adopt a resolution declaring its intention to lease the property. The resolution shall describe the property proposed to be leased in such manner as to identify it, specify the minimum rental and term for which it will be leased, the form of the lease or agreement, and one variable, biddable factor, on which bids will be received, and fix a time not less than three weeks thereafter and place for a public meeting of said governing body, at which meeting sealed proposals to lease will be received and considered. The resolution shall, before the date of such meeting, be published once a week for three successive weeks in one or more newspapers of general circulation in the county where the property is situated.
This section shall not apply to the renewal or extension for a fixed term not exceeding the original term of leases or operating agreements initially issued for a fixed term.
The State Lands Commission may in its discretion exempt particular leases or operating agreements from the procedure required by this section and Section 7053 where by reason of the small size of the property or drainage, actual or imminent, such procedure would in the judgment of the State Lands Commission in the particular case be impractical.
