Acting as the governing body of Contra Costa County: AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to accept said Assignment of Easements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Contra Costa County Department of Information Technology

BACKGROUND:

Located at 2555 Harbor Street in Pittsburg, on Assessor's Parcel No. 088-220-010, the communications tower and its associated buildings that house electronic equipment, were constructed for the fire station, also located on the site, approximately forty years ago to support the fire station's operations. In addition to supporting fire services, it is now a microwave repeater for the County that supports another County communication site located in the hills of Pittsburg.

The prior owner of the property, Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD), transferred this property, known as Fire Station #85, to the City of Pittsburg in 2012 with recorded document 2012-0147178. In this document, CCCFPD retained easement rights for (1) the purpose of the existing communication tower site; and (2) access for ingress and egress to the communication tower over the rest of the parcel.

Contra Costa County Department of Information Technology (DoIT) has been operating and maintaining this site for many years. The assignment of these easement rights will allow DoIT to continue to operate and maintain the site for County purposes.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The easements will not be assigned to the County, and Contra Costa County Fire Protection District will remain responsible for maintenance and repairs to the easements.
