REVIEW OF BUILDINGS AND PROPERTY OWNED BY
BJECT: THE COUNTY IN THE MARTINEZ COMPLEX AREA
E.IFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S ) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
That the County Administrator order a review of all
buildings and grounds in the County Complex area to
ascertain the following:
1. Is the property being adequately maintained.
2. Is the County getting the best possible use
out of its holdings.
3 . Is the property still an asset or becoming a
liability.
4 . Should the County consider selling any of
the property in the County Complex area.
BACKGROUND:
Due to financial constraints the maintenance of many County
properties has deteriorated at an alarming rate over the
past few years.
What may have been a shrewd purchase in the past may now be
a liability as the County' s needs have changed over the past
10 years.
I am requesting that a report on this matter be presented to
the Board of Supervisors as soon as possible.

Dear Supervisor McPeak:
The three following county owned properties.have been in
disrepair, appearing almost derelict, for over five years:
1127 Escobar
1139 Escobar
_ 1136 Escobar
Informal requests from residents to county officials have
resulted in no action - and the condition of the properties
continues to decline. As you can see from the enclosed
photographs, the houses are in need of repair, painting and
proper landscaping care.
Property values are being lowered by the lack of proper
maintenance to buildings or grounds. It seems irresponsible
for the County to buy and use property in neighborhoods which
they are unwilling to maintain on, at least, an average scale.
Please find enclosed the signatures of property owners in the
adjoining area. We need your help with this problem immediately
as lack of proper and reasonable maintenance is having an
economically destructive consequence on homes in the area.
Please help us get this problem resolved as soon as possible.
Yours truly,
Beverly Dutra
1251 Escobar Street
Martinez, CA. 94553
