FISCAL IMPACT:
The County anticipates receiving a minimum of $60,000 in revenue from the public auction sale of this Property.
BACKGROUND:
The Property is the site of the former Rodeo Veterans building occupied by War Memorial Hall Association (Association). In 2008, the lease with the Association was terminated and the Association relocated to Pinole. The building had been vacant since 2008 and had significant interior and water damage making it a public nuisance. In July 2017, the building was demolished leaving a 5,824 sq. ft. vacant lot. The Notice of Completion was approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 19, 2017. County staff recommends designating the property as surplus and selling the property "as is" at public auction. A Notice of Exemption (CP #16-44) was filed on September 28, 2016.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would continue to own and maintain the subject property.
