The Governing Board is asked to adopt Resolution 23-24-023, which approves the exchange of district property located at 674 Allard Avenue in the City of Eureka and authorizes the Superintendent or designee to finalize and execute the Agreement for Exchange of Real Property attached as Exhibit A to the resolution.

[Note: The attachments to this agenda item will be made available at the Board meeting prior to discussion of the agenda item.]

Education Code section 17536 permits the school district to exchange any of its real property for real property owned by another person or private business firm. Before ordering the exchange, the board must adopt a resolution by two-thirds vote, declaring its intention to exchange the property. A property exchange provides the District with the flexibility to enter into an agreement that directly furthers the express purpose of the District. 

The Board convened a 7-11 Advisory Committee pursuant to Education Code section 17387, et seq. to advise the board regarding the use or disposition of the property located at 674 Allard Avenue, in the City of Eureka. The 7-11 Committee recommended the Board declare the property surplus. On June 6, 2019, the Board adopted Resolution No. 18-19-036, declaring the property surplus to the District’s need. On August 6, 2023, the Board adopted Resolution No. 23-24-003, declaring the property “exempt surplus land” pursuant to Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(I). This resolution authorizes a property exchange pursuant to Education Code section 17388 and is exempt from the other provisions in the Education Code.
