RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT Board Resolution No. 3765 AUTHORIZING the Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa to execute a certain Extension and Modification of Oil and Gas Lease between the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa and Fleet Oil Co., a California Corp. to acknowledge the change in ownership of the lessee, by Mesne Assignment of record, and to extend the"working date"of the original lease. II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND Pursuant to Board Resolution No. 3655, approved on September 22, 1992,the Housing Authority and Fleet Oil Company entered into a subsurface Oil and Gas Lease and a Memorandum of Oil and Gas Lease for certain Housing Authority owned property in Brentwood. Subsequently,Fleet Oil Company assigned the lease,by Mesne Assignment of record,to its partners which are now collectively called"Lessee". The original Lease required that the lessee commence drilling operations on the leased land on or before the"working date"which was defined as 3 years from the date of execution of the Lease. The Lessee anticipates that they will be able to start drilling within the next year. The Lessee is,therefore, requesting that the Housing Authority extend the working date for an additional 2 years, or for a-total of five(5)years. The Extension and Modification acknowledges the change in ownership structure for the Lessee and changes the working date to five years from the date of execution for the original Lease. All other terms of the Lease and the Memorandum stay the same. Staff is recommending that this Extension and Modification of the Lease be effective as of September 21, 1995. IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Should the Board of Commissioners elect to not to authorize the execution of the Extension and Modification of Oil and Gas Lease,the lessee would not be able to drill nor provide the yearly compensation to the Housing Authority.
