RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT Grant Deed conveying 13 Contra Costa County Successor Agency (former Redevelopment Agency) owned Parcels, identified as Assessor Parcel Numbers: 147-050-043-8, 147-050-044-6, 147-050-047-9, 148-120-012-7, 148-180-047-0, 148-180-048-8, 148-180-049-6, 148-221-016-6, 148-221-030-7, 148-360-014-2, 148-360-024-1, 148-360-031-6, and 172-100-038-6 (“Parcels”), which are portions of the Iron Horse Trail Corridor from the former Redevelopment Agency to Contra Costa County, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34180 and 34181(a). (Project No. 4500-6X5489)


DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause said Grant Deed to be recorded in the office of the County Clerk-Recorder.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff costs related to the acceptance are covered by the Successor Agency Administrative budget. Other sources of funding will continue to be used to maintain the Iron Horse Trail Corridor. Since the properties are being conveyed for continued public uses, there is no cost for the land.

BACKGROUND:

The former Redevelopment Agency is conveying 13 Parcels that are part of the Iron Horse Trail Corridor. As part of the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency, the disposition of the Parcels to Contra Costa County (County) is necessary in order for them to retain their public use. The Contra Costa County Oversight Board adopted Resolution 2018-3 on January 24, 2018, directing the Contra Costa County Successor Agency to the Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency to convey the Parcels to the County; and the Department of Finance reviewed the Oversight Board resolution and approved the action on April 13, 2018.

The County’s acceptance of the Parcels, will not cause any new effects on the physical environment. The July 9, 2019 Board Agenda also includes a Notice of Exemption prepared by the Department of Conservation and Development under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Article 5, Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Parcels will not retain the public use of the Iron Horse Trail Corridor if they are not conveyed to another public agency.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Iron Horse Corridor is used for bicycle and pedestrian transportation and recreational opportunities for families. Accepting the Parcels will ensure its continued public use.
