BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District v. Gary A. Eames, et al., CCC Sup. Ct. Case No. C15-02052. This was an action to acquire certain property by eminent domain in the Antioch area for the West Antioch Creek Channel Improvement project, a District and City of Antioch project. In exchange for title to the property, the property owner will be paid $3.9 million, of which the District will pay $1,850,000, and the City will pay $2,050,000. Each party will bear its own costs and attorney's fees in the litigation. The Board of Supervisors, acting as the District's governing body, authorized the settlement on June 11, 2019, in closed session, by a 5-0 vote. Judgment pursuant to the parties' stipulation was entered September 16, 2019.

This report includes final settlements of litigation matters handled by the Office of the County Counsel. This report does not include litigation settlements that were reported by the Risk Management Division of the County Administrator's Office as a consent item on the Board's open session agenda.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The report would not be accepted.
