RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute the Amendment to the Grant of Easement between Contra Costa County (County) and Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (District), dated December 3, 1985; and


DIRECT the Real Property Division of the Public Works Department to have the above referenced Amendment to Grant of Easement forwarded to the District for acceptance and recording in the Office of the County Recorder. Project No. 0678-6G5575

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

In 1985, the County purchased portions of the Iron Horse Corridor (IHC) from Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR) with monetary help from the District. In exchange for receiving the funds from the District, the County granted easements to the District, which only possessed lease agreements with SPRR. The Grant of Easement granted to the District on December 3, 1985 and recorded on December 9, 1985, states that the location of the easement area specified therein was based on the best information available at the time of execution, and allows the parties to amend the easements upon determination of a more precise location of existing or proposed facilities.

The District has now determined and mapped the precise location of their facility and would now like to amend the legal description and plat of the original 1985 Grant of Easement. All other terms and conditions of the original grant of easement will remain in full force and effect.

In December of 1985, the Board of Supervisors determined that the sale of easements to Central Contra Sanitary District was exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under State Guidelines, Section 15112.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The legal description and plat will not be correct.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
