2727 ALHAMBRA AVENUE, MARTINEZ
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDATION
MODIFY September 14, 1993 Board approval of lease for
2727 Alhambra Avenue, Martinez (Teamsters Building) with
the General Truck Drivers, Warehousemen, Helpers and
Automotive Employees of Contra Costa9County, Local 315,
for use by the Health Services Department.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT
Modification of the September 14, 1993 Board approval will
reduce the level of financial commitment required for the
lease.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The lease agreement approved by your Board on September
14, 1993 for use of the Teamsters Building in Martinez
contained a provision for approval of a hazardous
materials report by the County prior to execution of the.
lease. This provision was included since a service
station had been located on this site over 30 years ago.
The completed report indicates subsurface contamination
of undetermined extent and origin on the site. The level
of contamination does not constitute any threat to
health.

County staff, working in cooperation with Teamster
representatives, ordered further investigation, including
establishing three monitoring wells . It is believed that
the contamination is a result of the service station, but
testing by two different laboratories does not absolutely
confirm this . The Teamsters are continuing to work with
County Environmental Health staff to monitor this
situation.
County Counsel has advised that the risk to the County as
a public agency for purchase or lease as the majority
tenant in this site can be substantial and unlimited.
The site would have been a valuable asset for use by the
Health Services Department due to its proximity to
Merrithew Hospital. However, the potential liability as
determined by County Counsel precludes further
consideration of purchase or substantial use of the site_.
It is the opinion of County Counsel that the County could
be a minor tenant at the site and enter a license
agreement for use of parking spaces . Therefore, it is
recommended that the September 14, 1993 approval be
modified to reflect a reduction in the amount of space to
be leased and authorization to enter into a license
agreement for use of parking spaces .
