RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the Grant Deed for a 120-acre land donation, dated May 12, 2016, from Wildlands, Inc., to Contra Costa County, located adjacent to Byron Airport, pursuant to Government Code 25355. (Project No. WO5330)

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause said Grant Deed to be delivered to Placer Title Company, 1508 Eureka Road, Suite 150 Roseville, CA, Escrow No. P-145523, for recording in the Office of the County Clerk-Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

In February 2014, the County Airports Division staff received a letter from Wildlands, Inc., which formally expressed an interest in donating 120 acres of real property to Contra Costa County located adjacent to Byron Airport. A portion of the property is within the runway safety area for Runway 12-30 and identified for land acquisition in the Byron Master Plan for long-term protection of the airport and potential runway extension areas. A long- term management endowment fund of approximately $106,000, transfers with the property, which is encumbered by a conservation easement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Negative action would not correspond with the Byron Master Plan for long-term protection of the airport or potential runway extensions.
