SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On October 19, 2021, the Board of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the County of Monterey, hereafter referred to as the “the Successor Agency”, approved the sale of Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 117-221-034, hereafter, referred to as the “Property”, an approximately 30,900 square foot agricultural parcel located near Cayetano Street and the Pajaro Community Park, from the Successor Agency to Berkshire Investments LLC, for a fair market value purchase price of $35,500.
California Assembly Bill 1X 26, enacted on June 28, 2011, dissolved all California redevelopment agencies effective February 1, 2012, through amendments to the California Health and Safety Code (the “Amended Code”). Pursuant to Sections 34173, 34175, and 34176 of the Amended Code, the Successor Agency assumed the rights, duties, and obligations of the Redevelopment Agency. Under the Amended Code, all property owned by former redevelopment agencies must be disposed of, either through sale or other disposition, in accordance with a Long-Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP) approved by the California Department of Finance (DOF). The Successor Agency’s LRPMP was approved by the DOF Oversight Board on April 17, 2014. The LRPMP designates the Property to be sold to an adjacent landowner for fair market value. Health and Safety Code Section 34191.5(B) states that proceeds from the sale of the Property are to be distributed to identified taxing entities, including the County.
On October 19, 2021, the Board of the Successor Agency approved the sale and recommended approval of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the County and Pajaro Sunny Mesa Community Services District (PSMCSD) regarding the allocation of the County’s net proceeds from the sale of the Property, a total of $5,142.81, to PSMCSD for the benefit of the Pajaro Community Park. This request aligns with the County’s strategic initiative to support programs and services that promote healthy choices in collaboration with communities.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Office of County Counsel-Risk Management reviewed and approved the MOU as to form. Upon Board approval, the PWFP Director will execute the approved MOU between the County and PSMCSD.
FINANCING:
Staff time to prepare this report and MOU is funded from the Successor Agency, Fund 406 Appropriation Unit HCD010. Health and Safety Code Section 34191.5(B) requires that the net proceeds from the sale are to be distributed to identified taxing entities. The County’s portion of net sale proceeds are proposed to be distributed to PSMCSD following the execution of the MOU.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS’ STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
If approved, this action supports the Board of Supervisors’ Strategic Initiative for Economic Development. Conveyance of the County’s portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Property to PSMCSD economically supports the Pajaro Community Park.
