RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

On January 5, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved the proposed project and determined the Project was exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), under CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). The CEQA notice of exemption was filed on January 8, 2021.

The purpose of this project is to transfer property rights for the Lindsey Basin from the District to the City. Lindsey Basin is a local, non-regional flood control facility located in the City of Antioch. It was constructed with the intent to be owned and maintained by the local jurisdiction (the City) after Construction. Initial construction of the basin took place around 1988, with final modifications having been completed in 2007. Lindsey Basin is located on five Flood Control District-owned parcels that are to be transferred to the City of Antioch. In addition, several utility entities hold easements in the immediate vicinity of those parcels that will be included in the transfer. Lindsey Basin is situated along East Antioch Creek in the eastern part of the City of Antioch, Contra Costa County. The extents of Lindsey Basin lie southeast of Laurel Road, southwest of Neroly Road, and northeast of Highway 4.

The Project has been completed and in order for the City to accept ownership and maintain their facilities, it is necessary for the District to convey the parcels and easement rights.

The Notice of Intention to convey and assign property rights to the City was published in the East Bay Times at least one week prior to this Board meeting, as required by Government Code Section 6061.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District will continue to be responsible for the ownership and maintenance of a non-regional flood control facility located within a local jurisdiction (City of Antioch).
