RE: AB 168 Acknowledgement of Enforceable Agreement between the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation and the City of Burbank for the Proposed SB 35 Project located at 910 South Mariposa Street, Burbank, Los Angeles County, California
Dear Mr. Salas,
This letter is a follow-up to the AB 168 tribal consultation concluded between the City of Burbank and the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation (the Kizh) regarding the proposed SB 35 Project located at 910 South Mariposa Street in the City of Burbank. The Project consists of one five-story residential structure containing a total of 30 condominium units and 43 subterranean parking spaces.
Per the Tribal Consultation between the City and the Kizh, the following language will be made part of the Project's conditions of approval:
• TCR-I: The Project applicant shall retain and compensate a professional Tribal Cultural Resources monitor procured or selected by the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation (the "Kizh" or the "Tribe"). Prior to the commencement of any "ground - disturbing activity" for the subject project at all project locations(i.e: both on-site and any off-site locations that are included in the project description/ definition and /or required in connection with the project, such as public improvement work). "Ground-disturbing activity" shall include, but is not limited to, demolition, pavement removal, potholing, auguring, grubbing, tree removal, boring, grading, excavation, drilling, and trenching. If cultural resources are encountered, the Native American monitor will have the authority to request that ground-disturbing activities cease within 50 feet of discovery to assess and document potential finds in real time. One monitor will be required on-site for all ground- disturbing activities in areas designated through additional consultation. However, if ground-disturbing activities occur in more than one of the designated monitoring areas at the same time, then the Project Applicant, doing business as Butterfly Gardens LLC, and the Kizh can mutually agree to an additional monitor, to ensure that simultaneously occurring ground-disturbing activities receive thorough levels of monitoring coverage. 275 EAST OLIVE AVENUE BURBANKCA.GOV

• The applicant and Lead Agency shall, in good faith, consult with the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation on the disposition and treatment of any Tribal Cultural Resource encountered during the Project implementation.
• TCR-2: Applicant shall provide written notice to the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation not less than 30 days prior to commencement of ground disturbing activities to ensure the "Tribe" has sufficient time to schedule adequate site monitoring personnel. • TCR-3: The Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation shall be responsible to retain sufficient monitoring personnel to meet its monitoring obligations during all phases of ground disturbing activities.

The Tribe shall charge a fee according to Tribal monitoring services at industry standards for the Tribal monitoring services of all ground disturbances. • TCR-5: The Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation Monitor shall complete monitoring logs on a daily basis, providing descriptions of the daily ground disturbing activities, including construction activities, locations, soil, and any cultural materials identified and available to the City upon request. The on-site monitoring shall end when grading and excavation activities of native soil (i.e., previously undisturbed) are completed, or when the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation Monitor has indicated that the site has a low potential for cultural resources, whichever occurs first. The Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation Monitor logs will identify and describe any discovered TCRs, including but not limited to, Native American cultural and historical artifacts, remains, places of significance, etc., (collectively, tribal cultural resources, or "TCR"), as well as any discovered Native American (ancestral) human remains and burial goods. The City shall request a copy of all field documentation from the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation Monitor. In addition, the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation Monitor shall provide the City a "closeout report" that addresses the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Monitor's role on the project and provides a summary of cultural findings, if any. • TCR-6: The Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians - Kizh Nation shall comply with applicant's site access and workplace safety requirements.
