RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Ordinance No. 2019-35, authorizing the Public Works Director, until January 1, 2025, to acquire real property if the purchase price does not exceed $100,000, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Government Code Section 25350.60 authorizes the board of supervisors of a county to authorize, by ordinance, a county officer to perform any and all acts necessary to approve and accept for the county the acquisition of any interest in real property, provided the authorization specifies procedures for the exercise of the authority and establishes a dollar limit on any purchase price. Government Code Section 25350.60(c) specifies that the authority granted by ordinance under Government Code Section 25350.60 may not be effective for more than five years.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 16, 2014, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2014-18, which amended section 1108-8.002 of the Ordinance Code to authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, to acquire any interest in real property if the purchase price does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). In accordance with Government Code section 25350.60, Ordinance Code section 1108-8.002 will expire January 1, 2020, unless renewed by the Board.

The attached Ordinance No. 2019-35 amends Ordinance Code section 1108-8.002 to authorize the Public Works Director, until January 1, 2025, to acquire any interest in real property where the purchase price of the property does not exceed $100,000.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Ordinance Code section 1108-8.002 will expire.
