RECOMMENDATION(S):

As the Governing body of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District:


APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the conveyance of Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District) property identified as a portion of Assessor’s Parcel Number 138-142-005, located along Castle Rock Road north of Pine Creek Road in Walnut Creek (Property), to Contra Costa County (County), as recommended by the Interim Chief Engineer, pursuant to Section 31 of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Act, and Government Code Section 25365. (Project No.: 0662-6R4112)

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DETERMINE said Property to be surplus and no longer necessary for District purposes and required by the County for the purpose of constructing the Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements-Central and East County Project (Project).

AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors to execute a Grant Deed on behalf of the District.

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause said Grant Deed to be recorded in the office of the County Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

On July 24, 1979, the District acquired the Property for flood control purposes.

The County intends to construct the Project in order to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility, as well as increase driver awareness at existing crosswalks near schools in East and Central Contra Costa County.

The District’s Property is necessary for the Project as a work space in order to, restripe the crosswalk, install asphalt landing, detectable warning surface treatment and an asphalt path on the east side of the crosswalk for trail access to neighborhoods, near North Gate High School. The District has agreed to convey the Property to the County.

On February 10, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved the Project and determined the Project is exempt from CEQA (CP#14-36).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, the County will not have sufficient work space to construct pedestrian improvements in connection with the Project.
