AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Appropriating Funds for Lockeford Street Improvement Project
Right -of -Way Acquisition ($20,000)
MEETING DATE: April 18, 2018
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt resolution appropriating funds for Lockeford Street
Improvement Project right-of-way acquisition, in the amount of
$20,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Over the past year, Public Works has been working on the design
and environmental documents for the Lockeford Street
Improvement Project. Since this project is receiving Federal
funding, California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) is responsible for the approval of the
environmental documents and oversight of the right-of-way acquisition.
The project requires right-of-way from two parcels located at 115 and 121 East Lockeford Street. The
areas needed are generally 3.5 -foot -wide strips and are 188 and 394 square feet, respectively. On
December 20, 2017, Council authorized the City Manager to execute all documents related to the
Lockeford Street Improvement Project right-of-way acquisition and appropriated $30,000. At that time,
the initial indication from CalTrans was that an appraisal would be required and then the City would be
allowed to proceed with the acquisition directly (because the estimated property cost was less than
$10,000). After granting environmental approval, CalTrans notified staff that the right-of-way acquisition
would require an additional third party appraisal reviewer, as well as a third party acquisition company.
On December 20, 2017, Council authorized the City Manager to execute all right-of-way acquisition
documents and appropriated $30,000. This authorization was requested to expedite the right-of-way
acquisitions and took place prior to Staff being advised by CalTrans that a third -party appraiser reviewer
and acquisition company was required.
Contracts have been executed with the appraiser and State -required third party appraisal reviewer and
acquisition company, leaving minimal amount of funding available for the right-of-way purchase. Staff
requests that an additional $20,000 be appropriated to provide for any additional CalTrans right-of-way
requirements and/or higher -than -anticipated purchase prices.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The long-term fiscal impact is negligible. Funding requested will cover the
land acquisition costs and various processing and recording fees
associated with the proposed acquisition. This project does not impact the
General Fund.
