ISSUE: The Board must conduct a public hearing to declare land as un- needed and
authorize staff to execute lease agreements.
RECOMMENDATION: Set December 20, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. as the date and time for a
public hearing to consider declaring the property located at 5501 Imhoff Drive in
Martinez (APN 159 - 140 -052) as currently un- needed, and authorizing the General
Manager or her designee to amend the current lease with County Quarry Products LLC
(County Quarry) for an extended term of less than ten years.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None by this action. If, after conducting the public hearing, the
Board authorizes extension of the lease, the District will receive substantial additional
rental income.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board may decline to establish the
recommended public hearing date or may elect to choose a different date; however, a
public hearing must be held and the property must be declared as "currently un-
needed" if the lease is to be extended.
BACKGROUND: The District purchased the property currently leased to County
Quarry and used for concrete and asphalt recycling as buffer for the treatment plant.
That is, the land is to be used for District operations, if needed; or if not needed, to
generate revenue through rental for uses compatible with the treatment plant. The
Sanitary District Act requires that the Board hold a public hearing if property is to be
declared as "currently un- needed" so that it can be leased.
The District has been leasing the seven acre parcel at 5501 Imhoff Drive to County
Quarry for the past 27 years (see Attachment 1 for site map). County Quarry is a
concrete and asphalt materials recycling operation. The recycled material is a
construction grade aggregate sold and used for roadbed and other uses. New
aggregate, asphalt, and concrete are also sold at the site. Over a number of years, the

District became concerned about County Quarry's performance regarding pile height,
dust, traffic, and their storage of old equipment on the property. The lease was
extended for calendar year 2011 and again for 2012 to allow time for County Quarry to
demonstrate that is could comply with the District's performance expectations. Staff
has closely monitored performance for the past 22 months and can report substantial
compliance. The Real Estate Committee recommends that the property be declared as
"currently un- needed ", but that the lease is extended for a relatively short term to
provide additional time for monitoring and evaluation of County Quarry's performance.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Set December 20, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. as the date
and time for a public hearing to consider declaring the property located at 5501 Imhoff
Drive in Martinez (APN 159 - 140 -052) as currently un- needed, and authorizing the

extended term of less than ten years.
