RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the conveyance of surplus real property to Stephens & Stephens X, LLC (Grantee), in accordance with the Agreement between Contra Costa County and the Grantee Named Herein (Agreement) and pursuant to Government Code Section 25526.5.


DETERMINE that the estimated value of approximately .722 acre property previously acquired for the State Route 4 West Gap Project is less than $25,000.00, and that the property is no longer necessary for County or other public purposes.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

AUTHORIZE the Interim Public Works Director, or designee, to execute the Agreement on behalf of the County.

AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute a Quitclaim Deed on behalf of the County.

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause said Quitclaim Deed to be delivered to the Grantee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Contra Costa Transportation Authority Funds.

BACKGROUND:

In 1998 the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) and the County entered into Agreement No. 87 for the County to provide right of way services for the State Route 4-West Gap Project (Project). The terms of the Agreement included the County initially taking title for various property rights for the Project and to transfer those rights to the appropriate parties at a later date. Agreement No. 87 is on file at the Public Works Department.

In 2010 the County acquired the real property described in the Exhibit “A” (Property) as part of the settlement with Asbury Graphite, Inc., in connection with the Project.

As part of the Project, several utilities were relocated on and under the Property and easements rights have been conveyed to the appropriate parties. Because of the size and location of Property, and the easements which limit its use, its value does not exceed $25,000.00.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County and CCTA would continue to needlessly expend funds to maintain the property.
