Resolution No. 2026-001, Accepting a Drainage Easement in the El Cerrito Area.

Riverside County has accepted a perpetual drainage easement in the El Cerrito Area of California through Resolution No. 2026-001, granting the County the right to operate, maintain, inspect, and utilize a drainage pipeline within a legally defined parcel tied to Parcel Map No. 23271 and Temescal Canyon Road. The easement was granted by the Western Municipal Water District of Riverside County, with the legal boundaries and plat details outlined in Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively, which are recorded with the Riverside County Clerk & Recorder’s office. The agreement permits essential drainage activities including construction, repair, and access for maintenance while strictly prohibiting any alterations to ground elevations, installations, or alignment changes without prior written consent. The transaction is administratively documented with an accounting string of 537020-20000-3130500000 ZC60065D Z2055 and utilizes journal vouchers for billing, with no formal line-item pricing, contract value, or procurement-related cost structure identified. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15060(c) and 15061(b)(3) was established to support categorical exemption from environmental review, and all activities are confined to the easement area without extending to neighboring properties or utilities. The County Surveyor, David L. McMillan, serves as the primary point of contact, and the submission deadline for related documentation was October 30, 2025, though the easement itself was executed on December 3, 2003, and recorded on December 30, 2003, with the current posting date reflecting a forecasted administrative update in January 2026. No federal acquisition regulations, standard contract clauses, or procurement evaluation factors apply, as this is a local land use and easement conveyance matter governed by county law and environmental statutes rather than federal contracting procedures.
