“I do think it is a fair characterization that the ADA parcel is larger, the one under consideration right now is larger, frankly, than than other 810 conveyances historically, and its purpose is not as explicitly defined as some have been historically.”

From the transcript
Have you ever used the conveyance procedure to transfer land before from the Department of Natural Resources to ADA, for example? Chair Giesel, John Krother again for the record. I will speak generally and then I will let my much more capable and detail-knowledgeable Director Collis speak to that with a little bit more specificity. The short answer is that there have historically been some conveyances under this 810 statute to other state agencies, but including ADA. I do think it is a fair characterization that the ADA parcel is larger, the one under consideration right now is larger, frankly, than than other 810 conveyances historically, and its purpose is not as explicitly defined as some have been historically.
