RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute and deliver notice to the State of California, Department of Transportation (Caltrans) waiving a 90-day notice and protest period, and agreeing to accept a portion of Circle Drive into the County road system following relinquishment by the state, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code section 73, as recommended by the Public Works Director.


FIND that the Real Property transaction between the County and Caltrans is exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the common sense exemption (CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3)).

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Caltrans proposes to relinquish a portion of Circle Drive to the County. This has been determined based on the understanding that the limit of the relinquishment is within the County’s jurisdiction and the County is currently maintaining Circle Drive. The County is in agreement to accept the portion of Circle Drive.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will continue to maintain a portion of Circle Drive that is not in the County road system.
