RECOMMENDATION(S):

As the governing body of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District), APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the conveyance of real property located in Alamo to the State of California, Department of Transportation (State), identified in Exhibit “A”, of the Grant Deed (State Parcel No. 63615) and in accordance with the Right of Way Contract, for the purchase price of $5,000, pursuant to Government Code Section 25526.5.


DETERMINE that the Real Property transaction between the County and the State under the threat of condemnation are ministerial acts and are therefore statutorily exempt from CEQA, pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15268. (FC Permit 610-19)

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DETERMINE that the real property described in the right of way contract is no longer necessary for District purposes and its estimated value does not exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000).

AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute the Right of Way Contract on behalf of the District;

AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute a Grant Deed on behalf of the District in consideration for the payment received in full in the amount of $5,000.

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause said Grant Deed and a certified copy of this Board Order to be delivered to the Grantee for recording in the office of the County Clerk-Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$5,000 to be deposited into Flood Control Zone 3B Property Management.

BACKGROUND:

The District acquired the real property in the 1980’s and 1990’s for flood control purposes. The State is now requesting that the District transfer the portion of property no longer necessary for flood control purposes to the State for access and maintenance of the slope supporting Southbound Interstate 680 in this area. Real Estate Division staff have determined that the value of the property being conveyed to the State does not exceed $25,000 (Govt Code §25526.5).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District will continue to own and be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of excess property no longer necessary for District purposes.
