RECOMMENDATION(S):

DECLARE that this Board on September 26, 2017, approved a Notice of Intention to Sell Real Property (Notice) located at 343 Rodeo Avenue in Rodeo (Property). Said Notice was duly published in the Contra Costa Times in compliance with Government Code Section 25363. (Project No.: WLG131)


ACCEPT a bid from Meles Eleyh, a married man, as to an undivided 50% interest; Romena Jonas, a single woman, as to an undivided 25% interest and Ashur Abbasi, a single man, as to an undivided 25% interest as tenants in common (Optionee) in the amount of Eighty Five Thousand Dollars ($85,000) for 343 Rodeo Avenue in Rodeo, California.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

APPROVE the Option to Purchase Agreement (Agreement) with Optionee for the above property.

AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors to execute the Agreement and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute any necessary extensions provided for in said Agreement, on behalf of the County.

AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors to execute a Grant Deed to Optionee on behalf of Contra Costa County (County).

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to deliver a certified copy of this Board Order with the Grant Deed to Fidelity Title Company 10562 S. De Anza Boulevard, Cupertino, CA 95014 for recording in the Office of the County Clerk-Recorder, upon performance and compliance by the Optionee of all terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The County will receive $85,000 from the public auction sale of this Property. Funds will help offset demolition costs. 100% General Fund

BACKGROUND:

The Property is the site of the former Rodeo Veterans building occupied by War Memorial Hall Association (Association). In 2008, the lease with the Association was terminated and the Association relocated to Pinole. The building was vacant from 2008 to 2017 as a result of significant interior and water damage making it a public nuisance. In July 2017, the building was demolished.

On September 26, 2017, the Board of Supervisors determined said property to be surplus and no longer needed for public purposes. The Notice of Public Land Sale set November 30, 2017 at 2:00 P.M., as the time and place where oral bids would be received and considered. The highest bid received for the real property, in accordance with the terms and conditions of sale approved by this Board was $85,000 by Optionee, at which time the amount of $6,000 was deposited as an option-bid deposit to secure completion of the transaction.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will continue to own and be responsible for the maintenance of the subject property.
