Purchase of Surplus Flood Control District Property
December 15, 1992
Page Two
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
District is purchasing approximately 22.7 acres of land for the future expansion and reconfigura-
tion of the Lindsey Basin. The exact size and configuration of the basin is not known at this time
but will be determined within the next year. When the design and siting of the basin is
completed, there may be surplus property which the District would no longer require.
County is desirous of acquiring land in east county for a future East County Government Center
and this property would afford an acceptable location.
In the event that surplus property is available after completion of District's plans, County intends
to purchase, and District intends to sell to County, for the same price paid by District, 4 to 6
acres of said surplus provided that it is of adequate size and configuration for County's
purposes. At the time the surplus property is identified, the District will notify the County that
it has 90 days in which to declare its intention to purchase said property and proceed with all
required notifications.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
The County may lose the opportunity to purchase needed property at a more affordable price
than will be required in a few years time. The subject property is ideally situated for County
purposes. There may be no suitable land left to acquire in years to come which offers the same
affordabilty and location advantages.
