The negotiations between the City and UNOCAL for the acquisition of
the abandoned gas station site on the corner of Marine and Park
Avenues on Balboa Island are nearing completion. The City received
an appraisal for $670,000 and offered that amount to UNOCAL which
indicated verbally its acceptance within the next week to ten days.
Acquisition of this site will enable the construction of the new fire
station to proceed. The County Health Department has supervised
the removal of all contaminated soil and is prepared to issue a
clearance for construction on the site with a requirement for
continued ground water monitoring. UNOCAL will be responsible for
this monitoring and will retain liability for any lingering
contamination. Funds for this acquisition have been budgeted and
the attached Resolution provides certain tax advantages to UNOCAL
and serves as an inducement for them to complete this sale.
