ISSUE: A resolution of the Board of Directors is required to accept, amend or quitclaim
easements and to authorize staff to record documents.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution accepting an amendment to a grant of
easement from Contra Costa County, and authorizing staff to record documents with
the Contra Costa County Recorder.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The District will incur no direct costs, beyond staff time, to
record this amendment to the original grant of easement..
ALTERNATIVEWCONSIDERATIONS: The Board could decline to accept the
amendment; however, this is not recommended since it would restrict the District's
ability to perfect and adequately enforce the District's land rights along the Iron Horse
Corridor, formerly the Southern Pacific Railroad right of way.
BACKGROUND: In 1985 -86, the District
purchased easements from Contra Costa
County and the Contra Costa County
Redevelopment Agency for existing and
future sewers in the former Southern Pacific
Railroad right of way (now referred to as the
Iron Horse Corridor) when Contra Costa
County purchased the right of way from
Southern Pacific Transportation Company
(SPTC). Because of the lack of surveying
information for property boundaries, utility
locations and engineering for future
pipelines, coupled with the short time frame
to acquire the property, language was
added to the original grants of easement to

allow for adjustment of easement descriptions once the location of the existing and
future sewers were known.
On November 6, 2008, the Board approved a memorandum of understanding with
Contra Costa county and the Contra costa county Redevelopment Agency detailing
the process for amending the sewer easements within the Iron Horse Corridor and
adopted a resolution accepting the first easement amendment. On July 1, 2010, the
Board adopted a resolution to accept the second easement amendment. Staff now
recommends adopting a resolution accepting the third easement amendment.
Subsequent easement amendments will be brought to the Board for consideration as
the survey and document preparation work is completed.

grant. of easement from Contra Costa County for an Iron Horse Corridor parcel located
in the City of Pleasant Hill (District Project 1541 — Parcel 10 *), and authorizing staff to
record documents.
