We have already done a lot of work on updat ing the ge neral plan, is all that being scrapped and are we starting from scratch or all the work that ’s already been done going to be capitalized?

Agrees with having an aggressive timeline. Hops the community will get engaged in this project.
• Jeff Markham – Asked if the name of the volunteer could be identified? • Nancy Amadeo – It was asked how does the two documents (general plan and Cypress Knolls specific plan) rate si de by side but Cypress K nolls is in the Base Re use Plan ar ea, will this be coordinated with the base reuse plan even if FORA no longer exists?

Council Questions: With the lighting , Did you say that some of them tha t's going to be led and solar was not a possibility? What would be the hue of the lighting ? Will it be warm will there be at night dialed down? Will there be more green features? Will recycled water be used? Is it possible to have sheltered benches? Is Ginkgo a local tree? How will you bring this project to life? Were you able to consult with the Marina folks about th e landscape palette? What will the lan dscape look like directly surrounding the memorial area? Why was t he original timeline delayed? Has there be en any comparative analysis done to compare the use of resources such as watering and fertilizing for 15 years to keep it green and looking nice even though It's going to undergo quite a bit of a foot traffic compared to the environmental cost of replacing a natural turf eve ry 15 years ? Has there been a comparative financial contrast made for the 2 options of natural turf versus unnatural turf? Would it be possible, before we make a final decision on natural turf versus artificial turf, if we could have some kind of analysis of environmental impact ? How would we keep artificial turf clean? Did your team look through the design guidelines for native species that might be appropriate for this location ? Have you seen the Toyon growing down by the amphitheater ? How large would the Gink go be when installed? How much of a tree fill is there already with those large cypress so close? Do you think that the large trees are existing would afford us in this case the chance to be patient with slower growing natives? If we wanted to grow something quickly, would it be possible to have some slow growing species concurrently with fast growing species, such as the natural willow?

Public Comments:
• Grace Silva-Santella – Strongly discourage the use of ginkgo because it needs a denser clay soil that we cannot provide and will not get enoug h water ; and s trongly urge council to consider Catalina Ironwood. Commented on the proposed garbage enclosures. Concerned about the natural turf and appreciates there will be a cost analysis on it. Hopes Bianca ’s company takes a close look at Windy Hill and Vince DiMaggio and see that the struggles that Public Works Department have to deal with in managing and maintaining turf. Assumes a separate water meter will be put in for this project so the library is not covering the cost of watering. Need to give serious consideration to synthetic turf and not natural turf.
• Mrs. Dillon – Spoke about the lighting in the rende ring and concerned about the light pollution close to the mar shland and the impacts on the nesting birds and other animals, would like better clarification on the lighting. Likes the Ginkgo tree, it’s a pretty tree. Opposes covered seating. • Nancy Amade o – Commented on the lan dscaping and likin g the layering of plants. Concerned about the maintenance of whatever plants will be placed in this area and concerned about the turf.
Council might consider growing ground cover type of plants that can be walked on. • Brian McCarthy – Commented on the li ghting and the plants. Agrees Council should look at the Catalina Ironwood. Spoke about the Monterey Cypress truly being a native to th is area. Advocate of dark sky compliant lighting and the premises of dark sk y lighting is that you use only the light you need where you need it and the brightness. Noticed that there is some “up lighting and asked what is the purpose of that lighting this is on park land? • Jeff Markham – Wanted to congratulate Miss Konic, on a job well done, beautiful design.
c. City Council consider adopting Resolution No. 2022-130, approve draft revisions to the concessionaire a greement with Chaparral Country Corpo ration, In c. of Woodside CA to provide recreational facilities and pro grams to the public at th e Marina Equestrian Center Park ; and a uthorizing the City Manager to execute the revised agreement on behalf of the City sub ject to final review and approval by the City Attorney.
Council Questions: What will be done to minimize the parking o f trailers in terms of living arrangements from occurring? How often will the animal waste be removed from the site? How many fire extinguishers are required per building? Can we require more insurance from the concessionaire due to the asbestos ? Is there a r isk of transferring asbestos from ho rse to rider? What kind of requirements are in place if injury occurs? Would the city be made of aware of any catastrophic injuries? What are the p rocedures? Can we put language in the agreement that states they mu st report to us within a certain number of hours an accident or injury? Has the city received any funds , a good faith deposit to move this along? Would it seem reasonable if waste removal frequency was at least the same frequency that we currently have there? Will horsed be stabled in the concrete buildings on the western boundary of the facility? what benefits they that they'll have for perspective volunteers to comply with the section 2 (k) of the concessionaire ’s agreement? What is different about this lease That Staff thinks is reasonable for for-profit lessee to be able to afford to pay for the cost to maintain the facility ? Is there a language in this agreement that's different than the other concession aire agreements where we could expect this tena nt to be able to afford responsibilities They're given when it comes to repairs and upgrades ? There's a 365-day unilateral notice that either city or con cessionaire can give before terminating or vacating the site, is there a penalty if the concessioner p ulls out due to capital reserves being drained?

Delgado/Berkley: to continue to 10:30 pm. 5-0-0-0 Motion Passes by Roll Call Vote MINUTES for City Council Meeting of Tuesday, October 18, 2022 Page 8
Council Questions Continued: Do you know how much chaparral concession here has in capital reserve? The language i n the concession agreement in terms of the provi sions for default and non - compliance are equal to or exceed what the prior concession agreement had, correct? The insurance that the city maintains to ensure against losses from unanticipated events related to a concession agreement that we have in place will covered the city in the event that something would happen that we hadn't planned, correct? Since this agreement really pretends a lot of additional development and an increase in the value of what's on the property, I didn't see any sections related to the security of the facility and is that something that might be needed? Is there any language in the agreement addressing discounts for Ma rina residents, veterans or other groups that we might deemed important? There’s language about inspections, notice or non-notices inspections, what exactly are we inspecti ng? Do we have any quality parameters or a checklist of what we're inspecting, or what we should be inspecting ? Could the city create a general inspection checklist? RPF, d id you know that there was a security deposit required? Where did the $850,00 0 in CIP funds come from and how lo ng has it been sitting there? And is it, or is it not from the National Park Service as was mentioned by another Co uncil member? Can the NPS funds be used to offset for you know, rides and things like that?
Questions to Chaparral: Can you confirm if you plan on stabling horses in those concrete buildings that some people have told us are not, you know, appropriate for horses around the Western edge of the property? If the concession here wishes to st able horses and those concrete block buildings or stalls, Can we first get a letter from a animal care, facility, if they are safe and humane to keep horses in those concrete block b uilding? What benefits does the Chaparral plan to offer perspective volunteers to comply with that section that has been newly added to our agreement that you shall provide reasonable outreach to try to attract volunteers? Do you plan on providing any free tours or free lessons? What’s going to happen with the Star Riders? Do they stay and contin ue where they are , what’s their future? Could you provide access to you r premises for voluntary community events when it's not conflictual with your normal operations and with your management approval? BERKLEY/BURNETT: TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 2022 -130, APPROVE DRAFT

MINUTES for City Council Meeting of Tuesday, October 18, 2022 Page 9
• Krystal Giacomelli – Spoke about being the treas urer for the Marina Equestrian Association and provided financial information on what it really costs to run the Marina Equestr ian Center, which includes weekly dumpster dumping, monthly utility bills and the monthly rent. Spoke about the dedicated volunteers who provided lesson at a low cost. Asked to let the MEA stay until the new concessionaire comes on board in January.
• Barry Pasquarosa – Spoke about the Christina Marie Star Rider Scholarship program and what it has to offer to people with special needs and the differently abled and the help this program provide for the veterans with PTSD. Wanted Council to be aware that you know there is an organization out there and we do get grant s and donations, we basically fulfill our way of helping the public. Please keep us in mind. Keep all the valuable work that's being done to keep going with it.
• Nichole Fisher – Why would volunteers w ant to volunteer for a for-profit corporation and what is that draw? Spoke about the MEA paying rent for 20-years and asked where those funds have gone to. Are they in the NPS fund? Are they being used on the facility that’s going to Chaparral? What fees are going to be charged to membe rs of the public who wish to use the facility in the f uture? Asked about the city’s list of inventory that was due to the MEA by October 15th. Will the grounds still be available to the public once the MEA leaves and until the new concessionaire moves in ? Who will maintain that property between now and t hen? Why is the city now wanting to conduct their own events at this facility, when they never have in the past? • Jeff Markham – Marina has been given a gift in this Marina Equestrian Center and been fi ghting about it so much that we ’re losing fact that we could actually lose the facility if we don ’t work together. Would like to encourage us to just accept the situation and move on.
