Sr. Right of Way Agent Engineering /Environmental Services REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION: T. Brightbill - Senior Engineer �-.,, A I D. Gemmell — Environmental Services Division Manager w�7 K. Alm Roger S. Bailey J. Petit — Director of Engineering Counsel for the District General Manager ISSUE: Prior to entering into any lease of real property owned by the District for a term not to exceed 10 years, the Board must conduct a public hearing. The subject property must be used for compatible uses and for public benefit, and the leased property also must be declared unneeded for District purposes during the term of the lease. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the General Manager, or his designee, to lease portions of the parcel located at 4737 Imhoff Place, Martinez (APN 159 - 150 -057), for a term not to exceed 10 years; and declare the property as unneeded for District purposes during the terms of the leases. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The District will receive additional rental income. The actual amount will depend on the individual lease and agreement terms. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The alternative to this action is to abandon lease income. BACKGROUND: The District currently issues various short-term leases, not exceeding 10 years, on warehouse spaces (bays) located on the property at 4737 Imhoff Place, Martinez. This property is located directly west of the District Headquarters Office Building. The 4737 Imhoff Place building is a warehouse structure consisting of 11 bays. The District historically has utilized some of the warehouse spaces for its own needs, which vary from time to time, and leased the unneeded warehouse spaces to obtain revenue for the District. Nearly 10 years ago, the Board adopted Resolution 2005 -052 which authorized the General Manager, or his designee, to negotiate, execute and administer leases for the warehouse spaces. The authority to lease the unneeded warehouse spaces will cease in June 2015 and staff is requesting a similar resolution be adopted to facilitate leasing the unneeded warehouse spaces over the next 10 -year period.
