RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the conveyance of an easement for utility purposes to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), pursuant to Government Code Section 25526.6. Project No.: 0676-6P1017 CP#16-27


DETERMINE that the conveyance of said easement is in the public interest and will not substantially conflict or interfere with Contra Costa County as the Housing Successor to the Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency’s use of the property.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute the Easement Deed on behalf of Contra Costa County as the Housing Successor to the Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency.

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause said Easement Deed along with a certified copy of this Board Order to be delivered to the grantee for acceptance and recording in the office of the County Clerk-Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Bay Point Utility Undergrounding District #31 funds.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County (County), as the Housing Successor to the County Redevelopment Agency, owns certain real property located off Mims Way in Bay Point. The County has requested that PG&E, Comcast and AT&T underground their utility line in the area of Bailey Road. The Project consists of relocation of overhead utilities either into a main trench within the roadway or under the sidewalk within the Project boundary. As a project partner to PG&E, the County formed Underground Utility District #31 to provide right of way acquisitions necessary for the utility relocation. The purpose of this Project is to beautify the area by removing the visible overhead electrical cables and also to improve reliability of service so that power, phone and cable lines are less susceptible to outages due to storms.

On December 20, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved the Project and determined the Project is exempt from CEQA (CP#16-27).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board approval, PG&E would not have the necessary land rights to underground its facilities.
