California Code, Public Resources Code - PRC § 5080.36.1

(a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the department and the City of Malibu are in the process of entering into an operating agreement for the purpose of negotiating a concession contract that would require the City of Malibu to repair and refurbish, and operate, the Malibu Pier, and that the standard 20-year term is insufficient to enable the City of Malibu to amortize the type and scale of repairs and improvements that the department will require the City of Malibu to make.

(b) The department and the City of Malibu may enter into an operating agreement for the repair, refurbishment, and operation of the Malibu Pier for a period not to exceed 30 years if the operating agreement also requires the rent to be reviewed and adjusted at least every five years to reflect economic conditions in the area in which the pier is located.
