REGULAR AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
On November 21, 2016, County of San Benito, City of Hollister, and San Benito High School District entered into an inter-agency agreement to work on the County's Regional Park project and closure of Nash Road between West Street and Monterey Street.
The southern half of Nash Road is located in the County, while the Northern half is located in the City.
Currently, Nash Road is closed temporally during the school year from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, Monday through Friday. As part of the agreement, the San Benito High School District would enter into a 99-year lease with the County for the County Regional Park, and upon permanent closure of Nash Road, would transfer fee title to the County.
On September 24, 2019 the Board authorized CAO to negotiate the terms of a shared-use agreement with the San Benito High School District for construction and shared use of a parking lot on the High School Campus. The Parties are interested in the construction of a shared-use parking lot on the High School Campus, to be funded by the County.
The shared lot would mutually benefit the High School District and the broader community within the County of San Benito, using High School facilities and the County's Regional Park.
The Lease shall commence upon the confirmation of all parties meeting certain conditions.
County will contribute $196,500 to fund the parking lot.
County will install a pedestrian crosswalk and reflective pedestrian crossing signs or an enhanced crosswalk with lights and lighted warning signs, as reviewed and approved by the County's Resource Management Agency.
The parties will complete closure of Nash Road and the associated transfer of fee title of land for the future Regional Park property to the County under the Interagency Cooperation Agreement.
See the attached Lease Agreement For Construction and Joint use.
