RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE a publication of a Notice of Intention (“NOI”) to convey one Fee parcel, identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 074-080-034, to the City of Antioch (City) through a Grant Deed, pursuant to Government Code Section 25365. (Project No. 4500-80A855; TG0855) (CP#22-31) (District V)


DECLARE that this Board will meet on December 13, 2022, at 9 a.m. or thereafter, in the Board’s Chambers, County Administration Building, 1025 Escobar Street, Martinez, California, to consummate the conveyance.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to publish the attached NOI in a newspaper published in the County pursuant to Government Code Section 6061.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No Fiscal Impact.

BACKGROUND:

On March 24, 2020, the County purchased a 4.79-acre vacant parcel located along the southerly side of Delta Fair Boulevard, identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 074-080-034 (Property), from the City for the sum of $1.00. The Property was purchased for future development of a facility for the County’s Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division (H3), for use as a navigation and assessment center, emergency shelter, transitional housing and/or permanent support for homeless individuals.

The grant deed conveying the Property to the County contains two specific deed restrictions, one of which is the right by the City to reenter and take possession of the Property if the County fails “to commence construction of the facility for the Approved Use within two years after recording of the grant deed.” Due to various circumstances, including the Covid-19 pandemic, the County has been unable to break ground on the project in the two-year timeframe. As a result, the City has elected to exercise its right to take possession of the Property.

The County is prepared to comply with the City’s decision and both parties have determined that a grant deed is the most appropriate method to revest all of the County’s right, title and interest in the Property back to the City.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

County will not have fulfilled their responsibilities in the grant deed, which may cause the City to take action to enforce their reversionary interest in the Property.
