RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, a purchase and sale agreement with the City of Pittsburg to sell the City one property at the corner of Harbor Street and California Avenue (APN 086-214-025), and a second property at the corner of Harbor Street and Bliss Avenue (APN 088-171-037) for the purchase price of $591,209 for the two properties (“Purchase Price”), as recommended by the Public Works Director, Pittsburg area, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code section 960.


DETERMINE that said properties were acquired on Contra Costa Transportation Authority’s behalf for highway purposes, and that the properties are no longer necessary for those purposes. (Project No. 4660-6X4287, SCH#2000112007)

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

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

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause said Grant Deed and a certified copy of this Board Order to be delivered to the City for acceptance and recording in the Office of the County Clerk-Recorder.

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to transfer the amount of the Purchase Price to CCTA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact. Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) will receive $591,209 in revenue from the sale of the properties to the City of Pittsburg.

BACKGROUND:

In 2001, the County acquired, on behalf of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA), one property at the corner of Harbor Street and California Avenue (APN 086-214-025), and a second property at the corner of Harbor Street and Bliss Avenue (APN 088-171-037), in Pittsburg for highway purposes. The properties were acquired entirely with CCTA funds. The County was responsible for acquiring right of way for the project on CCTA’s behalf because CCTA did not have right of way staff. The properties are more particularly described in Exhibits “A” and “B” attached to the Grant Deed.

The properties are no longer needed for the project or for other highway purposes. CCTA has requested that the County dispose of the properties. The City of Pittsburg will purchase the Properties for landscaping, parking and future redevelopment within the Railroad Avenue Specific Plan area. Because the properties were purchased with CCTA funds, after the sale is complete the purchase price will be returned to CCTA.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County would continue to own and be liable for the maintenance of these Properties.
