Authorize the Mayor to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement for parcel DD #40766 -01 -02 provided that the Agreement is substantially similar to the attached • Term Sheet. 2. Approve a Budget Amendment in the amount of $175,000 from the Unappropriated Park In Lieu Reserves, 010 -3767, to account number 7021 - 05100515. DISCUSSION: Folllowing the passage of Senate Bill 124 (Johnson, 2001), the City has worked with Caltrans and California State Parks to attempt to secure two parcels near Superior and PCH for the Sunset Ridge Park project. After extensive talks during 2005 involving State Senator John Campbell, the state Department of General Services, Caltrans, and the City, we have tentatively agreed at a staff level to secure both parcels of land with the City being the fee simple owner of the two parcels, rather than just leasing the large parcel from State Parks and operating it as a locally- operated unit of the State Park system. The tentative agreement includes the purchase of the small (1.88 acre) parcel at a price of $175,000 (see attached map). In December 2004, the local Caltrans staff and the City Council agreed to a sale price of $49,400 for this property — but that agreement was hampered by the California Transportation Commission's Airspace Advisory Committee's (AAC) negative recommendation on that sale. Staff believes that the CTC • will agree to the $175,000 price, provided that the attached Term Sheet is adhered to.
