Meetin Date: pril 21, 2026
TITLE:
Acceptance of Real Property Transfer for Central Coast Blue Regional Recycled Water Authority; APNs 060-543-016 and 060-543-007
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution approving and accepting the transfer of real property to the City of Pismo Beach and directing the City Manager to execute a certificate of acceptance and all related documents necessary to transfer the Central Coast Blue Regional Recycled Water Authority Facility Site to the City of Pismo Beach.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this report is for the City of Pismo Beach to accept the Central Coast Blue Regional Recycled Water Authority (Authority) Facility Site. This action is necessary to facilitate project financing through the State of California and is consistent with both the Central Coast Blue Joint Powers Agreement and applicable Government Code provisions.
The Authority was established in 2022 as a Joint Powers Authority pursuant to Articles 1 through 4, Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of the California Government Code. Prior to the formation of the CCB Authority, the City of Pismo Beach acquired the Facility Site, located in the City of Grover Beach and identified as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 060-543-016 and 060-543-007 (“Facility Site”, Figure 1). In accordance with the Joint Powers Agreement, the City subsequently transferred ownership of the Facility Site to the CCB Authority within sixty (60) days of the Agreement’s effective date.

Need for Transfer Back to the City
Since the departure of other city partner agencies from the project and JPA, the City of Pismo Beach has assumed lead agency responsibility for all aspects of the project, specifically including fiscal responsibility. In order for the City of Pismo Beach to secure financing for the Central Coast Blue project through the State of California, ownership of the Facility Site must be transferred back to the City. This transfer is a necessary step to meet state financing requirements. Section 1.6.2.iv of the Joint Powers Agreement authorizes the CCB Authority to lease, acquire, hold, or dispose of real property, providing the Authority with the legal ability to complete this transfer.
Land Transfer Acceptance Process
To accept the land transfer, the Council must:
Accept the transfer of the CCB Facility Site, identified as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 060-543-016 and 060-543-007;
Authorize the City Manager to execute a Certificate of Acceptance for the Grant Deeds and any other necessary and related documents to complete the transfer of the Facility Site to the City of Pismo Beach; and
Direct the City Clerk to record, or cause to be recorded, the Grant Deeds and all associated documents with the San Luis Obispo County Recorder upon full execution and notarization.
Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) approve and accept the transfer of property to the City of Pismo Beach and direct the City Manager to execute a certificate of acceptance and all related documents necessary to transfer the Central Coast Blue Regional Recycled Water Authority Facility Site to the City of Pismo Beach.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the transfer itself. However, this action is an important step in enabling the City of Pismo Beach to secure a State Water Board State Revolving Fund low-interest financing for the Central Coast Blue project.
