A district may lease any of its property to the State of California, a public agency of the State, a city, county, district, or other political subdivision of the State, whenever such a lease will benefit the district. Property may be so leased for monetary consideration or other benefit to the district without publishing notice or receiving bids if the board, by resolution entered upon its minutes, determines that the leasing is for the best interests of the district and will not interfere with the use of the property by the district for district purposes.
