Board approves recording grant deeds transferring two parcels to Amador Water Agency
Summary
Supervisors approved a resolution to record grant deeds that clear title for water and sewer parcels previously transferred in a 2003 asset agreement to the Amador Water Agency (AWA).
The Amador County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 14 approved a resolution authorizing the county to record grant deeds for two parcels to Amador Water Agency (AWA) to clean up an omission from a 2003 asset transfer agreement.
County staff explained AWA has operated and maintained water infrastructure on certain parcels but the recorded property conveyances were incomplete. The board approved the resolution so the deeds can be recorded and AWA can have clear title to the parcels it has operated since the 2003 transfer.
The staff report described the action as a corrective, administrative step to match recorded real‑property records to the earlier transfer agreement. The resolution directs staff to prepare and record grant deeds; AWA still must execute any acceptance documents required on its side.
Outcome: Motion to approve the resolution was made by Supervisor Brian Onetto and seconded by Supervisor Jeff Brown; the board voted unanimously in favor. The resolution will be recorded with the county recorder’s office to formally convey the parcels to AWA on record.
Ending: The action resolves a paperwork discrepancy and clarifies ownership and maintenance responsibilities for the water/sewer infrastructure at issue.
