RECOMMENDATION
title
Approve and authorize Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 270026B (FC) formally Agreement No. 324 (FC) with the City of Napa, changing the requirements for initiating escrow and expediting the remaining agreement actions. (No Fiscal Impact; Discretionary)
body
BACKGROUND
On April 15, 2008, the District and City of Napa entered into Agreement No 324 (FC) for the purpose of exchanging property in and around Lawrence Street to establish a realigned Lawrence Street right of way and facilitate construction and operation of the Napa River/Napa Creek Flood Protection Project. Since then, the Agreement has been executed in phases but is still not fully complete.
The existing Agreement specifies that all exchanges be accomplished through an escrow process. In an effort to expedite implementation of the remaining agreement terms, this amendment proposes to eliminate the requirement to use escrow if both parties determine it is not needed for a property transfer. Additionally, the amendment acknowledges the portions of the agreement that have been completed and establishes a timeframe for the remaining tasks.
