Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost
There is no cost to execute and implement the Joint Use Agreement; therefore, there is no fiscal impact or change to net County cost.
 
Background
The County of El Dorado, Community Development Agency Transportation Division (Division) is currently in the process of finalizing the U.S. 50/Missouri Flat Road Interchange Improvements - Phase 1B Project (Project).  As part of this process, the Division is clearing title encumbrances on parcels of land that the County acquired as part of the Project.  These parcels will be granted to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) once the titles have been cleared.
 
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has several preexisting easements on County parcels that need to be removed.  This Joint Use Agreement will facilitate PG&E quitclaiming their easements and provide a Joint Use Area that is beneficial to both the County and PG&E.
 
Reason for Recommendation
Before the County can transfer the parcels to Caltrans, the County must clear the titles of the parcels of any and all encumbrances, including easements of utility companies.
 
Clerk of the Board Follow Up Actions
1) The Clerk of the Board will obtain the Chair's signature on the Joint Use Agreement.
2) The Clerk of the Board will return all fully executed original documents to Transportation for final processing.
