RECOMMENDATION(S):

DECLARE the real property located at 2395 Greenwood Drive in San Pablo (the Property) to be surplus and not needed for the present or future needs of the County.


APPROVE the donation of the Property to the City of San Pablo, a municipal corporation of the State of California (the City), as permitted by Government Code section 25365.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement and all ancillary documents necessary to implement the transfer of the Property on behalf of the County.

AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute a Grant Deed to transfer the Property to the City.

DETERMINE that the activity is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Article 5, Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA guidelines.

DIRECT the Director of the Conservation and Development Department (DCD) to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk.

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to arrange for payment of a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing, and a $25 fee to DCD for processing, the Notice of Exemption.

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause the Grant Deed to be recorded on behalf of the City of San Pablo in the office of the Clerk-Recorder.

DECLARE that the Notice to Convey Real Property was duly published in the Contra Costa Times in compliance with Gov. Code section 6061.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The property was acquired from LAFCO at no cost; it is being transferred to the City of San Pablo at no cost. The cost of County staff time related to the transfer of the property will be reimbursed by the Rollingwood Wilart Park Recreation and Park District Fund. (Fund 374000)

BACKGROUND:

On January 18, 2018, the Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) initiated proceedings to dissolve the Rollingwood Wilart Park Recreation and Park District (RWPRPD) following receipt of various reports that RWPRPD had closed its doors in 2016. LAFCO’s action was conditioned on the County stepping in as the successor agency. As the successor agency, the County became the owner of RWPRPD’s assets, including the subject property.

The subject property is the site of a community center that was used for many years for recreation programs and events for the Rollingwood Community. The City of San Pablo intends to once again operate the community center for community purposes.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Property is not needed for County purposes. If the Property is not transferred to the City of San Pablo, the County will continue to own the Property and to be responsible for the cost of maintaining it.
