(a) Any person who wants to obtain a lease for marine activities in state marine waters shall request a lease from the board at the time of filing an application.
(b) Upon receipt of a completed application and authorization of a lease, the board shall:
(1) Negotiate with and grant a lease to the applicant; or
(2) Conduct a public auction and grant the lease to the highest qualified bidder.
Public auctions shall be conducted in accordance with chapter 171.

In establishing and following internal procedures for lease applications, the board shall attempt to minimize costs to those applicants submitting completed applications.
