No. 7521-6D8467
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to creeks. The FC District proposes applying for acquisition funding for two unrelated
properties. The grant requires that the properties be acquired from willing sellers. Both
properties are currently for sale on the real estate market. This grant, if received, will pay
the majority (90%) of the cost associated with the acquisition of the property.
The first property is located at 760 Minnesota Avenue, Brentwood, at the confluence of
three FC District-owned creeks. Acquisition of portions of the property is already in the
Zone 1 Marsh Creek Watershed Plan. The acquisition is supported by many local
stakeholders, including the City of Brentwood and the Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed.
The second property is known as the Pacheco Marsh parcel and is located at the mouth of
Walnut Creek / Pacheco Slough in the Martinez area. The adjacent marshland parcels
were purchased in 2001 in partnership with the Muir Heritage Land Trust and the East
Bay Regional Park District. The 2001 acquisition omitted one parcel because it was not
for sale at that time. That parcel has subsequently become available for sale and is well
timed with this grant opportunity.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this resolution is not approved, the properties, which are currently for sale, may be
purchased by other parties, thus preventing their acquisition by the FC District.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
