The Board must also declare the property as unneeded for District purposes during the term of the lease. May 6, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 24 of 239 Page 2 of 2 BACKGROUND Board Policy No. B P 043 - Buffer Property Management was approved on April 15, 2021. This new policy set criteria for leasing buffer properties, that are located between the treatment plant and the surrounding properties not owned by Central San. Currently, three tenants on buffer properties require extensions to their lease agreements. All three buffer properties meet the criteria set forth in BP 043. The Lagiss property is comprised of approximately 48 acres, located northwest of the Martinez Treatment Plant on Assessor's Parcel No. 159-140-042. The County Quarry property is located at 5501 Imhoff Drive, northeast of the Martinez Treatment Plant, Assessor's Parcel No. 159-140-052, and consists of 7.58 acres. The Triangle property is located directly west of the Household Hazardous Waste Facility and west of the Martinez Treatment Plant on a portion of Assessor's Parcel No. 159-150-057 and is approximately 0.7 acres. ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS A public hearing is required. The Board may decline to establish the recommended public hearing date or may elect to choose a different date; however, if the properties are to be leased, then a public hearing must be held to declare the properties as "currently unneeded". FINANCIAL IMPACTS The District will receive additional rental income. The actual amount will depend on the individual lease and agreement terms. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Real Estate, Environmental, and Planning Committee will review this matter at its meeting on May 3, 2021 to make recommendations for the public hearing at the May 20, 2021 Board meeting. The setting of the public hearing date was not reviewed by a Board Committee. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION Set a public hearing for May 20, 2021 at 1:30 p.m. to receive comments on declaring District-owned properties commonly known as "Lagiss", "County Quarry", and the "Triangle" as currently unneeded for District purposes and authorize staff to execute and administer lease agreements with terms not to exceed ten years.
