Title
Real Property Acquisitions for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Projects
BODY
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Proposed resolution authorizing the County Executive to accept conveyances of real property for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Projects.
ITEM TYPE: Consent Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Richardson, Henry, Kamptner, Herrick
PRESENTER (S): N/A
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: Execution of Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects may require the acquisition of real property, whether by easement or full title. Under Virginia Code §15.2-1803, deeds conveying real estate to a locality are valid only when accepted by the locality and executed by a person authorized to act on behalf of the locality.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Quality Government Operations: Ensure County government’s capacity to provide high quality service that achieves community priorities
DISCUSSION: Though the Board of Supervisors approves all Capital projects through the adoption of an annual Capital budget, the attached resolution (Attachment A) would clarify and confirm the authority of the County Executive to accept conveyances of real property necessary for the completion of those approved projects. The efficiency of government would be improved by confirming this current practice through a resolution.
BUDGET IMPACT: This resolution would have no budgetary impact.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board approve the resolution authorizing the County Executive to accept conveyances of real property for Capital (CIP) projects, provided that the deeds for such conveyances are approved as to form and content by the County Attorney.
