McBride Sr. High School (“McBride High School”) were relocated during the construction of the new school. The City of Long Beach (“City”) requires that the new location be dedicated as easements to the City, as described in Exhibit A and B of Resolution No. 121713-A, for maintenance and repair of these lines. Although the new easements are not located in areas that are used for classroom buildings, the granting of the easements will limit the District’s liability during the use of these areas (parking, field, etc.). Education Code Section 17557 provides that the District may dedicate easements if the Governing Board of Education (“School Board”) first adopts a resolution declaring its intent to dedicate the easements in a regular open meeting by a two-thirds vote. Resolution No. 120313-B was brought before the School Board on December 3, 2013, and was adopted, thereby meeting this requirement. Education Code Section 17557 also requires that the School Board hold a public hearing on the matter, and adopt a resolution authorizing the dedication of such easements. Resolution No. 121713-A, if adopted by the School Board, will authorize the District to dedicate the aforementioned easements to the City.
