[PR72-65]. Antioch Area. District V. DATE: February 7, 2006 PAGE: 2 Financial Impact: Revenue in the amount of$198,000.00 from the sale of County-owned surplus property will be deposited into the County's General Fund, Account No. 9921. Reasons for Recommendations and BackEround: In 1960, the County acquired title to the real property located at the northeast corner of Lone Tree Way and Heidom Ranch Road from the Lone Tree School District for use by the County Superintendent of Schools for a program for mentally challenged children. In April 1971, the County Board of Education resolved that it no longer had a need for the Lone Tree School property. The property was not offered for sale at that time because it did not meet the minimum land use or zoning requirements. The property was rezoned and the County sent letters of interest to other government agencies. LUHSD responded to the County's letter stating they were interested in purchasing the property. This property is no longer required for County use and LUHSD intends to use the property for classroom facilities. In addition to the purchase price of$198,600.00, the property is encumbered with the "Sand-Creek - Lone Tree Way Special Benefits District" levy in the amount$159,924.07 that LUHSD will be responsible for. A condition of the Purchase and Sale Agreement requires that if LUHSD sells the Property for more than the purchase price within two (2) years of recordation of the grant deed, LUHSD agrees to pay the County one-half(%) of the difference between the sale price and the purchase price. If, within two (2) years from recordation of the grant deed, LUHSD exchanges the Property for other property and cash, LUHSD agrees to pay the County one-half('/2) of the cash compensation. The Board previously approved a Notice of Negative Declaration on Environmental Significance [PR72-65] which was filed with the County Clerk on July 5, 1973 and this Notice is still applicable to the conveyance of the property to LUHSD. Consequences of Negative Action: The County will own the property and be responsible for paying the "Sand-Creek - Lone Tree Way Special Benefits District" levy in the amount of$159,924.07. THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Adopted this Resolution on February 7, 2006, by at least a four-fifths vote as follows: AYES: Uilkema,Piepho,DeSaulnier,Glover and Gioia NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None RESOLUTION NO. 2006/ (Gov.
