Martinez, Executive Director DATE: August 8, 1995 SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A QUITCLAIM DEED FROM HUD FOR CERTAIN PROPERTY IN NORTH RICHMOND SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE Board Resolution No. 3756 ACCEPTING, on behalf of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa,that certain Quitclaim Deed, dated and delivered July 21, 1995, from the Secretary of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD)for certain Housing Authority owned property in North Richmond, described in Exhibit A, and DIRECT the County Real Property Division to have the Quitclaim Deed recorded in the Office of the County Recorder. Il. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND Pursuant to a Disposition and Development Agreement between the Contra Costa Redevelopment Agency (Redevelopment Agency)and Community Housing Development Corporation of North Richmond(CHIC), dated September 13, 1994, the Redevelopment Agency has been working for the last 2 years to acquire all the sites on the block bounded by Chesley, Third, Grove, and Second in North Richmond for a 52 unit affordable senior housing complex to be developed by CHDC. The Housing Authority owned one of these sites which has two vacant public housing units, 212 Grove and 1553 Third. The Redevelopment Agency and the Housing Authority have been going through the eminent domain process regarding the site and determined the fair market value of the site to be $72,600. The property has been conveyed to the Redevelopment Agency by stipulated judgment and the$72,600 will be paid to the Housing Authority pursuant to the terms of the judgment. Because the property was owned by the Housing Authority as a public housing site, it was encumbered by a Declaration of Trust recorded by HUD which prohibited the Housing Authority from selling the site without HUD approval. Prior to completing the eminent domain process, it was necessary to solicit HUD's approval. On July 21, 1995,HUD delivered a release of the Declaration of Trust by Quitclaim Deed to the Housing Authority for that property. The stipulated Judgment transferring title to the Redevelopment Agency and the Final Condemnation were recorded on July 24, 1995. The purpose of this action is to remove the Declaration of Trust from the record title to the property. IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Should the Board of Commissioners elect to not to accept the Quitclaim Deed and direct that it be recorded, future development of affordable senior housing at that site in North Richmond might be jeopardized by a cloud on the title.
