RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Notice of Intention to assign two utility easements to the Bay Area Infrastructure Financing Authority (BAIFA), located in the City of Martinez and described within the boundaries of Parcel 63538-1 and 63539-1 pursuant to Government Code Section 25365. [Project No. 4660-6X4172–(CP#16-47- SCH#2013102020)].


DECLARE that this Board will meet on February 2, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. or thereafter, in the Board’s Chambers, County Administration Building, 1025 Escobar Street, Martinez, California 94553, to consummate the assignment.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to publish the attached notice in the Contra Costa Times pursuant to Government Code Section 6061.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Contra Costa Transportation Authority Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The County acquired property rights in connection with the I-680 North Express Lanes Project on behalf of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA). CCTA does not have the ability to hold title. In order for the easements described within the boundaries of 63538-1 and 63539-1 to be properly maintained, it is necessary for the County to assign said easement rights to BAIFA.

On November 15, 2016, the Board of Supervisors adopted the previously approved Initial Study Negative Declaration/Environmental Assessment with Finding of No Significant Impact for the I-680 North Express Lanes Project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

BAIFA will not have the necessary rights to properly maintain and repair the above described easements, that are part of the high occupancy vehicle express lanes off of I-680, and the County will continue to hold and be responsible for these rights unnecessarily.
