The City of Oakland was granted certain salt marsh, tide and submerged lands in 1909 and 1911. In 1965, the City was legislatively authorized to convey a certain portion of this land to the Peralta Junior College District for the construction, maintenance, development and operation of a junior college, provided that the transfer to the District is subject to the public trust, that the City or District maintains a channel for the flow of water between Lake Merritt and the San Antonio Estuary, and that any revenue received by the City for the transfer be used for purposes that are in the general statewide interest.
