RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
DECLARE County’s intention to sell said Improvements under the Purchase Agreement and Terms and Conditions of Sale attached hereto.
APPROVE the Notice of Intention; and, DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to publish Notice of Intention in the Contra Costa Times and Martinez News-Gazette pursuant to Government Code Section 25363.
The Board sets August 31, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. at 255 Glacier Drive, Martinez, California, as the time and place where oral bids will be received and considered.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County anticipates receiving a minimum of $2,500 per residence in revenue from the public residential improvement sale. 100% General Fund
BACKGROUND:
The residential improvements were previously used by Friends Outside, a nonprofit community organization assisting incarcerated individuals and their families and storage for the Sheriff-Coroner’s Department. Since 2011, the residential improvements have been vacant and have become a health and safety issue due to their deteriorating condition and trespassers. It has been determined that residential improvements are no longer necessary for County purposes. County staff recommends designating the residential improvements as surplus and selling the improvements “as is” at public auction. It has been determined that this activity is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15064.5 using criteria outlines in Section 5024.1 of the CEQA guidelines, which was previously approved by the Board on May 10, 2016 (CP#15-37).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would continue to own and maintain the subject improvements.
