TO:

Honorable Board of Supervisors

FROM:

Steve Alms, Manager, Real Property Services Division

SUBJECT:

Identification of Agency Negotiator, Real Property and Negotiating Parties Prior to Closed Session under Government Code Section 54956.8

 

RECOMMENDATION:

Pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.8, identify the following information prior to holding a closed session for the purpose of giving instructions regarding the possible purchase of real property.

 
 

Agency Negotiator(s): County Manager or his designee
Real Property at issue: 700-740 Bay Road, Redwood City
APN: 054-062-120, 054-062-130 and 054-062-140

Negotiating Parties: Sally S. Blatt, Director and Portfolio Manager,
RREEF America REIT II Corp QQQ, or its alternative designees

 
 

BACKGROUND:

Government Code Section 54956.8 authorizes the legislative body of a local agency to meet in closed session with its negotiator(s) to give instructions on the possible price and terms of payment prior to the purchase, sale, exchange or lease of real property by or for the local agency. However, prior to holding the closed session, the legislative body must hold an open and public session in which it identifies its negotiator(s), the real property or properties which the negotiations may concern, and the person(s) with whom its negotiators may negotiate. Staff recommends that the Board identify the information described above in open session prior to holding a closed session on the matter.

 

County staff has been exploring negotiations concerning the purchase of up to three improved parcels of real property identified as Assessor’s Parcels: 054-062-120, 054-062-130 and 054-062-140, located at 700-740 Bay Road in the City of Redwood City, owned by RREEF America REIT II Corp QQQ. The existing buildings would be improved by the County for medical and general office use.

 

The negotiator for the County will be the County Manager or his designee. The County will negotiate with Sally Blatt, and/or the owner’s designated representatives.

 

Approval of this recommendation contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 of a Healthy Community by supporting the development of improved access and provision of seamless and quality health care to citizens of San Mateo County and, in particular, to the residents throughout the southern portion of the County.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for purchase of the property would be from the Health System budget and Non-Departmental Reserves. The Health System expects to obtain grants for the project to mitigate the cost of alteration of existing improvements to make them suitable for medical office use.
