i <br /> * We are agreeing to fund or perform an initial survey of <br /> rare plants on city lands along amazon creek south of Amazon <br /> Park to a maximum contribution of $3,000. We are also <br /> agreeing to reperform this survey every 10 years. <br /> * We are agreeing to fund or perform a monitoring survey of <br /> existing rare plants within the same area once every 5 years <br /> to a maximum contribution of $2,000. <br /> * Both of the above monetary agreements are fully contingent <br /> on the availability of funds. USF &G well understands that in <br /> the Tight of BM 47 there is no funds currently available and <br /> are fine with this. In fact their response is that they will <br /> look for funds within their organization to help with the <br /> surveys. <br /> * We agree to notify the parties of the agreement prior to <br /> performing activities within the area which may impact the <br /> plants. <br /> Any of the parties to the agreement can terminate the <br /> agreement (without penalty) at any time by sending notice to <br /> the other parties. <br /> From the meetings I've had with NPSO and USF &W, the important <br /> thing to them has really been that a signed agreement has been <br /> reached and not at all to place additional burdens on the <br /> city. USF &W staff feel the agreement will be very good PR <br /> internally for them. NPSO has felt that the agreement was <br /> assure we don't change policy direction so quickly that they <br /> are not informed and given a chance to discuss. <br /> Thanks <br /> Johnny <br /> Page 2 <br />
