ISSUE
A resolution of the Board of Directors is required to execute quitclaim deeds for existing easements and
authorizing staff to record the documents with the Contra Costa County Recorder.
BACKGROUND
As part of the South Orinda Sewer Renovations, Phase 8, District Project 8461, Central San's sewer line
was relocated from 7 Lost Valley Drive to existing road right-of-way. Now that that sewer line is no longer
through the property, Central San no longer needs its easement rights and should quitclaim those rights in
order to unencumber the property.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS
Decline to quitclaim the existing easements that are not in use. This is not recommended since it could
create a cloud on the title of the affected lot and may cause the property owners to seek legal action to
clear the title.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
None. The quitclaim was planned as part of the South Orinda Sewer Renovations, Phase 8 project.
