INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
| To: | Scott C. Stiles
| From: | Omar Sandoval
| | Dept.: | General Manager
| Dept.: | General Counsel
| | Subject: | Authorization for an extension of the 60-day Surplus Land Act notification of interest deadline due to COVID-19. (Action Item) | Date: | 4/28/2020 |
|
| | | | | | | | As required by the Surplus Land Act, on March 12, 2020, the District sent a notice of availability to the State, public agencies, and other interested parties providing notification that the District intends to sell or lease the Longsdon Pit property located at 12261 and 12263 Chapman Avenue in the City of Garden Grove. Under Government Code 54222(e), interested parties are required to provide the District written notification that they are interested in purchasing or leasing the property within 60 days, or May 11, 2020.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the various declarations of a national, state, county and local emergencies, the District and many businesses are experiencing major disruption in regular business and economic activities, such that it may make it difficult for interested parties to respond to the District’s notice of availability within the required 60-day period. Consequently, staff is recommending that the Board of Directors authorize an extension of the 60-day deadline for another 60 days from May 11, 2020 to July 10, 2020. Staff will send an amended notice of availability extending the notification of interest deadline by 60 days to July 10, 2020.
