STAFF REPORT
Since January 1988, the City Community Development Department staff has been
corresponding with the State Department of General Services regarding interest in
acquiring approximately 69.43 acres of vacant property, commonly known as Patton
Farms, and located in the general vicinity of Sixth Street, Ninth Street,
Del Rosa Avenue and Tippecanoe Avenue. Said property is vacant surplus land owned
by the State, and is currently offered for sale. Since January, the City has been
interested in buying the subject parcels for the development of affordable housing.
In June 1988, the Community Development Department was in contact by the Corps of
Engineers Real Estate Division expressing an interest in said land on behalf of
Norton Air Force Base for the development of approximately 400 units of off-base
housing for military personnel. Several meetings were held between the City,
Norton, and the Corps of Engineers. City staff also met with representatives of
the State Department of General Services regarding the acquisition of said land.
On August 29, 1988 all interested parties met again to discuss the purchase of
said property by the City at the market value price of $3,038,000.00, as agreed
upon by State and Corps appraisers. Upon approval by the Mayor and Common Council
the City proposes to open a fifteen (15) month escrow to acquire all 69.43 acres
with an earnest money deposit provided by Norton Air Force Base in the amount of
$300,000. In return, the City will provide the Corps of Engineers (on behalf of
Norton AFB) a transferable lease option which the Air Force will transfer to a
private developer once a developer is selected. The Corps of Engineers must
receive a transferable option from the City by no later than September 30, 1988, or
Norton AFB will lose its funding authorization from the project.
The State must receive approval of the Public Works Board before it can open escrow
and transfer title to the City. To effectuate this part of the process, the State
Public Works Board has called a special meeting to consider the City's request on
September 16, 1988. However, the State must receive an executed agreement from
the City before it can be approved by the State Public Works Board.
In order to meet each of the above stated deadlines, I am requesting a special
meeting of the Mayor and Common Council to be scheduled at 9:00 a.m., Wednesday,
September 14, 1988 so the Mayor and Common Council can consider the proposed
agreement between the City and the State of California.
I recommend adoption of the Form Motion.
