Council Questions: The air district and greenhouse gases, or in the solar are those per Stat e law he's outside of the nec essary? You mentioned CCNR’s and some other nomenclature can you just define what y ou were talking about ? FORTAG Trail = Was Fred Watson or any of the FORTAG Team involved in this? Development Area Parks = Do we have the approximate size s of the parks? Is it true that parks 1, 2, 6, and 8 will have restrooms ? How many ballfields are t here in this development? So how do we know if one baseball field in that Southwest Corner satisfies the needs for a baseball field for that community called Marina Station ? How do we know th at there's enough baseball fields for the city, since we lost t he one that was planned for par k 2? Where those 2 baseball fields decided MINUTES for Special City Council Meeting of Wednesday, August 3, 2022 Page 5
during the master planning that had public engagement a few years ago that we referred to frequently? If we won't have any baseball fields in Northern Marina left and if we take th e baseball field here, so back to Lane's question, if we do a revision because we have to, because we've lost a couple amenities here that were part of our grand vision , w hat flexibility does M arina station have? be part of that revision? If we have a ba seball field at Park #5 at Marina Station, and we have a baseb all field, it's not ours, but it functions very well at Los A rboles Middle School, and we have baseball field s at Preston Park and Maybe we're going to have one maybe we're not going to have one at The Dune City Park next to the Sports Center , those that I just mentioned seem to represent North, Central and South Marina will it be this public process revisioning that will determine if we have enough baseball fields ; and what to do about it if we don't but that Marina Station sounds like it might be off the table to incorporate a baseball field if we find out tha t we need one there ? Do you know why we hav e in Marina Station planned 2 soccer stations and 1 baseball? Is there logic to that? You helped develop East Garrison, correct? When we talk about the footprints for the parks, and we’ve got $6.3 million to mitigate can we change a footprint to add things like pickle ball courts or things like that? Is there still time to negotiate what our residents might want ? Park maintenance, is there going to be a shar ed agreement between Marina and the developer? Will all the parks within the development be accessible to the public? Can y ou tell us w hat wou ld the total cost of this project would be w hen it ’s fully completed? Is M arina Station similar to the arra ngement th at we have with The Dunes ? Can the soccer filed that was eliminated from one park be placed in park 2? Why was the baseball field eliminated from park 2?
Berkley/Medina Dirk sen: we approve Resolution No. 2022-, approving the assignment of the development agreement related to the Marina Station Pr oject to 3 RD Millennium Partners and (2) read by title only in a way, further reading, and approve the first reading of ordinance 2022-, approving the first amendment to the development agreement related to the Marina Station project, and (3) that we come back and have a public information session to further discuss the parks.
Public Comments:
• Karen Andersen – Asked if Park 6 restrooms be av ailable to the Windy Hill Park users , will there be a f ence or border? Thanked everyone for their effort in protecting the ver nal pools.

• Ralph Sirtak – Spoke about the Boy S couts and using the American Legion building to hold meetings.
• Mike Owen – Asked about the FORTAG Trail on the eastern side; asked if the Maritime Chaparral ecosystem is allowed to flourish instead of being plowed under. Likes the idea the right-side trail goes by the landmark eucalyptus trees. Suggested trimming the northside of the eucalyptus trees to match the southside for aesthetic and safety reasons. Commented on saving the trees at the Dunes Park and never changing the footprint . Asked that along with bringing back the Recreation and Cultural Commission to include the Public Works, Commission to look at the infrastructure for these parks.
• Francine Rodd – Spoke about the First 5 Monterey County program and talked about a section in the General Plan that talks about childcare facilities, and it talks about Armstrong Ranch and industrial centers and that as the community grows that there would be a focus on childcare .
Hoping that as that section gets built out, we can look at setting aside some space for childcare. • Tommy Bolea – Asked if the parks will have artificial turf? Would prefer more indo or stuff such as daycare, swimming pool etc. Asked what was the lawyer litigation about? What percentage of the development is rentals when fully built out?
MINUTES for Special City Council Meeting of Wednesday, August 3, 2022 Page 6
• Jeff Holder – after seeing the amendment with the new trail systems coming , curious what the privacy is going to look like for the folks that have pr operty up against that that property line the fence line there? Also asked about the lighting concessions for the residents along that area. • John Laroco – Asked that as we're moving forward with informing the public on the bond measure coming forward and it looks like th ere's a lot of infrastructure that's been designed into the Marina Station phase if we can relay that information as we're informing the public going forward with the bond measure how we've pre -planned or how we're extending services, you know fire and schooling and additional services for the Marina.
• Brian McCarthy – Commented that it’s critical we continue to foster a good relationship with the developer, the community and the city and one way to do t hat is through the various commissions and boards ; and filling those boards with well qual ified community members who want to be engage. Provided a little background into the lawsuit/settlement agreement on Armstrong Ranch.

• Joshua Dome – CEO Resource Environmental, pointed out that the #1 and 2 bidders were not responsive of your specifications of holding the right licenses and certifications as specified in your big documents.

• Nestor Reyes – Commented about Resource Environmental’s bid protest letter and has no merit.

Council Questions: Did you factor in We looked at the m arch rate prices for our rentals to do factor in at all? How many people are paying below market rentals, and what that is costing our city for not being at market? Have we have done an analysis of what that differential is what the actual differential is between in-place residents and what the current market rate is? Public Comments
• Les Martin – Commented on the below market rate rents and the need to raise them. Asked about 17th Regiment Court and wh y th ey look the way the y do , a re they not a part of Abrams Park? Also commented on the Community Homel ess Solutions homes and why they are not being maintained.
• Denise Turley – Noted that the two properties that Mr. Martin spoke about do no t belo ng to Abrams or Preston Park even though they are geographically with in those neighborhoods. Noted that the market survey that was done was full of errors and missing information. • Tommy Bolea – Was not aware that Abrams was a non -profit in that area . Commented Marina being the biggest lan dlords in the city and now seeking a bond when the city is making ton s of money and exempt on property taxes.
• Liesbeth Visscher – Wanted to know if the city is making a profit there, or is the city losing money? Would there be room for a rent survey, so that the city can optimize their investments and being landlords there?
• Paula Pelo t – Responded to some of the questions and concerns of the prev ious speakers.
Commented on the bond on that property and the operating budg et Noted the city is not losing money, we are maintaining an asset.

Council Questions: Although there is it discrepancy between in-place units and moving rental amounts per month that’s a little skewed due to the higher cost of sewage, water, etc. does that affect the discrepancy, or is it applied evenly to move in and in -place residents? Do we consider long-term moving to solar is that something we can plan for; does it make sense for these 2 pro perties? Would you think that it would financially pan out for us long term, because these are qui te a number of buildings, and we pay 10% utilities?
Public Comments:
• Liesbeth Visscher – Questioned whether we receive a daily report on the nightly s ecurity being billed for? Are all area checked four times per night or a quarter of the area? Will tenants be able to contact the security Company directly if they have any issues? MINUTES for Special City Council Meeting of Wednesday, August 3, 2022 Page 9
• John Laroco – Asked what is ou r current interest rate that we're paying on P reston Park? Why, hadn't we looked at potentially refin ancing? If we can refinance, can we take some of those funds right now to pay towards the debt principle as opposed to just interest? • Paula Pelot – Answered the previous speaker ’s questions about paying down the loan. Have no other option tha n to refinance when we can. Commented about putting money awa y in the reserves. Hopes that we can save enough for a new p arking lot. Mentioned that this disparity between the old and new units that are being rented is that people who've been here for a long time do not have upgraded units. They don’t get “new” they get “repairs”.

Pulled by member of the public, was agenda item 8g(1) Council Que stions: Why are you allocating 400 K. and 415K versus just a 100 K for the Dunes s o, could you explain that and why? Is it better to do this in 2 steps , in the future you come back to us for more design allocation for the Dunes City Park, then increasing it, say 7 00,00 or 800,000 tonight ? Because we're trying to balance tr ee conservation preservation with maximum utilization of the park for things like ball fields and other activities. Is it possible that ball fields won't be able to be included if we maximize tree conservation, and you know and minimize grading in order to protect the trees?
