Subject:256 24th Street, Richmond - Transfer of Property to Contra Costa County
FISCAL IMPACT:
Closing costs related to the transfer of title are estimated to be approximately $6,600, which will be paid by the
County with budgeted funds in the Health Services Department.
BACKGROUND:
In 1989, the County entered into a 20-year Facility Lease with Albert Loo, Jr. and Alice G. Loo for three parcels of
improved land, including a 7,000 square foot building and parking lots located at 256 24th Street in Richmond.
The Health Services Department Mental Health Division occupied the premises until 2008, when they vacated the
building and relocated their operations to San Pablo.
The Facility Lease was essentially a purchase agreement that provided title to the property would transfer to the
County
upon the final Facility Lease payment.
The County made its last payment to the property owner on May 31, 2010. The Facility Lease has been on
month-to-month holdover since that time. In accordance with the Facility Lease, the property owner is to deliver a
Grant Deed into escrow for the transfer of the properties to the County, and the County will pay transfer taxes,
recording fees, the cost of title insurance, and escrow charges. The property owner has delivered the Grant Deed into
escrow as required.
The building remains vacant, and County staff are working with the City of Richmond to renovate the building for
occupancy by the West Contra Costa Family Justice Center.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not accept the Grant Deed to 256 24th Street in Richmond from Mr. Loo, and title to the property
will not transfer to the County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
