AGENDA SECTION:
CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The County is acquiring right-of-way, a retaining wall easement, and a temporary construction easement from the San Benito County Water Conservation and Flood Control District (County Water District) for purposes of construction of the Union Road Bridge. The County negotiated the purchase of real property on a parcel owned by the County Water District (APN 020-280-035). Due to the small size, the County's appraisal indicated a fair market value below the County's adopted minimum value payment for right-of-way acquisitions ($2,500.00), so the County offered $2,500.00 for the property rights being acquired.
The Board of Directors for the County Water District adopted a Resolution (County Water District Resolution 2022-14) at its regular meeting on April 27, 2022, authorizing the District Manager to sign the Property Purchase Agreement and convey the grant deeds and easement grants to the County. The County Water District has requested that the Board of Supervisors approve the Property Purchase Agreement before the District Manager signs and delivers the grant deeds and easement grants. Given the short time-frame to complete Caltrans' right-of-way certification process, the grant deeds and easement grants are presented for the Board's approval as to form, with a request that the Board authorize the Interim RMA Director to accept the grant deeds and easement grants on behalf of the County as soon as the County Water District delivers fully executed grant deeds and easement grants on the approved form, so that the Interim RMA Director can deposit them immediately into escrow for expedited processing.
Resolution No. 2022-__, approving a property purchase agreement, approving the forms of grant deeds for right of way, a retaining wall easement, and a temporary construction easement for the Union Road Bridge project, authorizing the Interim RMA Director to accept executed grant deeds and easement grants delivered by the County Water District, and authorizing payment of $2,500.00 for such purchase, is presented for the Board's consideration.
