FISCAL IMPACT:
100% General Fund. The General Fund will be reimbursed upon the sale of 1750 Oak Park Blvd., to a home builder and a portion of 1700 Oak Park Blvd., to the Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District.
BACKGROUND:
On February 9, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with the Dahlin Group, Inc. (Dahlin), to provide real estate planning services for the Oak Park sale of surplus properties.
The County has been in discussion with the City of Pleasant Hill and the Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District about the possible development of 1700 and 1750 Oak Park Boulevard. Changes in the three agencies’ proposed projects have resulted in a change in the proposed location of a residential subdivision. Due to those changes, a second contract with Dahlin is required for additional planning services.
The previous contract with Dahlin expired on August 31, 2018. County Staff and consultants are currently in the planning process and still require assistance from Dahlin.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Dahlin contract is not approved, County staff will not be able to move forward with planning process, which would delay placing the property on the market.
