Miyamoto -Mills Dj� C. Swanson 3A- A. Farrell General ISSUE: The Board of Directors' authorization by resolution is required to quitclaim easements. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the President of the Board of Directors and the Secretary of the District to execute a Quitclaim Deed to Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, 3466 -3470 Mt. Diablo Boulevard, Lafayette, on behalf of the District for a sanitary sewer easement and authorizing staff to record the deed with the Contra Costa County Recorder. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: None. BACKGROUND: In 1980, several lots adjacent to Mt. Diablo Boulevard in Lafayette were aggregated into a single parcel, and the "Corporate Terrace" office development was built on the site. The developer proposed that a new building occupy the area of an easement on the property where a public main sewer had previously been installed (Job 695 — Portion of Parcel 1). As a condition for quitclaiming the subject easement, the District required that the developer abandon approximately 150 feet of Job 695 public main sewer and a new terminal manhole be installed. The developer completed the required work and paid the District Quitclaim Fee in 1981, however, the District did not complete the quitclaim process at that time. The property is currently on the market, and the owner has requested that the District execute and record a Quitclaim Deed to clear the title for the subject easement area (now under an existing building). Staff has determined that the easement is no longer needed. See Attachment 1 for a map showing the easement to be quitclaimed.

RECOMMENDATION: Accept the contract work for the 2003 Cured -in -Place Pipe Project, District Project 5246, and authorize the filing of the Notice of Completion. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None related to this action. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Not Applicable. Filing the Notice of Completion is advisable under the California Civil Code, Section 3090. BACKGROUND: The District investigated corrosion of large and medium diameter reinforced concrete pipe using CCTV inspection over the past few years. In several reaches of pipe, it was clear that some remedial action was needed. Approximately 570 feet of cured -in -place pipe (CIPP) was installed inside the existing 30 -inch sewer on Bancroft Road in Walnut Creek by the 2003 CIPP Project. The District has previously used the cured -in -place method to rehabilitate sewers. This method is less disruptive than open cut and is useful in busy streets and areas with limited accessibility where there is no capacity issue. Approximately 700 feet of cured - in -place pipe was installed inside the existing 8 -inch diameter sewer on Moraga Way in Orinda by the 2003 CIPP Project. On June 19, 2003, the Board approved the 2003 Cured -in -Place Pipe project for CEQA/Permitting purposes. On July 17, 2003, the Board authorized the award of a contract for the construction of the project to Andes Construction, Inc. The Notice to Proceed was issued on August 27, 2003.

FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None related to this action. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Not Applicable. Filing the Notice of Completion is advisable under the California Civil Code, Section 3090. BACKGROUND: Planning conducted initial Corrosion Study TV inspection work on unlined concrete sewers between January 2001 and February 2002. Of the sewers TV'd, the 36 -inch Contra Costa Boulevard (CC Blvd.) sewer was identified as needing additional TV work due to severe corrosion, including exposed rebar, being found. Additional portions of the sewers were TV'd in July 2002. In September 2002 physical inspections were conducted at several locations on the CC Blvd. line. , On the night of Sept. 17, morning of Sept. 18, 2002, the CC Blvd. sewer was physically inspected and probed at five locations by Villalobos and Associates (V &A) with District personnel present. The physical inspections found that the actual severity of corrosion is greater than the TV inspections indicate. Even the pipe that appeared to be in good shape on the TV tapes had preliminary evidence of corrosion attack. The heaviest corrosion on the CC Blvd. sewer was from north of Viking Drive to north of Golf Club Road. The Contra Costa Boulevard Slip Line Project installed approximately 1,500 feet of 30 -inch segmental slip liner in this reach. On June 19, 2003, the Board of Directors (Board) approved the Contra Costa Boulevard Slip Line Project for CEQA/Permitting purposes.

Brennan A Farrell General ISSUE: Board approval of the Vessing Sewer Renovation Project, District Project 5646, is required prior to the filing of a Notice of Exemption under the District's California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Vessing Sewer Renovation Project, District Project 5646. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The total project cost is preliminarily estimated to be $1,255,000; however, this position paper only approves the project for CEQA/ Permitting and does not award a construction contract. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board of Directors may delay or decline to approve the project. If this project is not constructed, its condition will continue to decline and may result in structural failure. BACKGROUND: This project consists of rehabilitating approximately 6,400 feet of existing sewers between Oak Park Boulevard and Del Oceano Drive in Pleasant Hill. The existing lines are on a 6- to 36 -month cleaning schedule due to grease buildup and heavy roots. TV inspection has shown that the lines have several sags and many sections of cracked pipe. Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from the California Quality Act (CEQA) under CCCSD CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 since it involves replacement of existing sewer facilities at substantially the same locations and with the same purpose and level of activity as the facilities being replaced. Any capacity increases are for non - growth inducing, wet - weather purposes. This project also is exempt under CCCSD CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), since it can be "seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment." This certainty is based on information from CCCSD's 1989 Watershed 23 Sewer Replacement Project and 1990 County Gardens/Third Avenue Sewer Replacement Project Negative Declarations pertaining to construction of other hDesign \Position Papers\2003 \DP5646PP.doc Page 1 of 3 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: January 15, 2004 subject.

Leavitt Engineering /Environmental Services Management Analyst REVIEWED AND RECOMMEND FOR BOARD ACTION: R. Leavitt C. Swanson A. ell Char o. General M; ISSUE: A public hearing is required to establish the La Sonoma Way Contractual Assessment District (CAD) No. 2002 -5. A public hearing is also required to create an assessment district pursuant to the procedure adopted under Proposition 218, which amended the California Constitution, Article XIII D, Section 4. RECOMMENDATION: Establish February 19, 2004, as the date for a public hearing regarding La Sonoma Way CAD No. 2002 -5 pursuant to California Constitution, Article XIII D, Section 4, and Streets and Highways Code, Sections 5898.20 and 5898.24. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: There are minor costs for publishing a legal notice advertising the public hearing and for staff preparation and attendance. These costs eventually will be paid by the CAD participants. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Select a later date for the public meeting - This would delay the CAD proceedings since the holding of a public hearing is required by law. 2. No action by the Board - No action will delay the CAD proceedings until a different public hearing date is set since the holding of a public hearing is required by law. BACKGROUND: On July 11, 2002, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution of intention to create La Sonoma Way CAD No. 2002 -5 for the purpose of installing sewer improvements on La Sonoma Way in Alamo (see Attachment 1). The proposed La Sonoma Way CAD No. 2002 -5 complies with the revised CAD policy approved at the February 1, 2001 Board of Directors meeting.

Freitas, Initiating Dept. /Div.: Administration /Human Human Resources Manager Resources REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION: C. Freitas R/Musprfives General ISSUE: David Rolley, C.C.C.S.D. Employees' Association President, has filed a grievance at Step Four of the grievance procedure. According to the Memorandum of Understanding between Local One and the District, Article III, Section 2.5, "the Board of Directors shall employ a neutral third party to hear the matter and recommend action to the Board." RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff to appoint an arbitrator to hear the grievance. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The District and the Union share the costs of grievances. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: None. An estimated cost of these services is $2000 per day. BACKGROUND: On September 16, 2003, the Union filed a grievance on behalf of the two provisional Plant Operator Ills who were being returned to Plant Operator II status. The Union asked the District to continue the employees in their provisional status and pay based on the Union's objections to revisions made to the Plant Operator II job classification description in 1999, which broadened the duties of the Operator II to handle duties previously performed only by Operator III's. (The Board may recall that the Union disputed the modifications to the job classification description and lost in a decision by the Public Employees Relations Board.) Since the date that the grievance was filed, one of the two provisional Operators has retired (Mr. James Zeiger). The other Operator (Mr. David Taylor) took the State certification test for Operator III and was recently notified that he passed the test. Even though the issue of the provisional appointments has been resolved with Mr. Taylor's promotion to Senior Operator, the Union wishes to pursue their grievance through the arbitration process.

HEARINGS Type of Action: CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING; ADOPT ORDINANCE Subject: CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND DISTRICT CODE CHAPTER 6.40 "HAZARDOUS WASTE HANDLING AND DISPOSAL CHARGES FOR CONDITIONALLY EXEMPT SMALL QUANTITY GENERATORS "; ADOPT THE ORDINANCE Submitted By: Initiating Dept /Div.: David Wyatt Engineering /Environmental Services Senior HHW Technician REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION. #I— �,Vqb 'IL 4 H. Th m b-. Swanson A. Farrell K. ATrn General ISSUE: The District Code requires that a public hearing be held prior to the Board of Director's adoption of an ordinance to amend District Code Chapter 6.40 "Hazardous Waste Handling and Disposal Charges for Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators." RECOMMENDATION: Conduct a public hearing to receive comments regarding a proposed ordinance to amend District Code Chapter 6.40 "Hazardous Waste Handling and Disposal Charges for Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators" ( CESQG). Adopt the proposed ordinance (see Attachment 1). FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Staff estimates that the recommended administration fee would generate approximately $4,500 per year in additional revenue and will assist in covering the cost of managing CESQG wastes. BACKGROUND: An important component of the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility (HHWCF) services is the collection of hazardous wastes from small businesses that qualify as CESQG under State and Federal regulations. The last review of the Hazardous Waste Handling and Disposal Charges for CESQG was completed in 1999. At the time, the Board of Directors adopted a revision to District Ordinance No. 212 that lowered the charges to CESQG program participants. The lowered charges were a result of reduced contract charges with Philip Services and alternative methods of disposal or recycling. Staff has reviewed the District's current charges for CESQG wastes and has concluded that these charges cover about 76% of the total cost to manage those wastes. In an effort to responsibly balance the costs to the CESQG participants, as well as keeping UAPosition Papers \HHW \CESQG 1- 15- 04 \CESQGPositionPaper1- 15- 04.doc Page I of 9 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: January 15, 2004 subject CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND DISTRICT CODE CHAPTER 6.40 "HAZARDOUS WASTE HANDLING AND DISPOSAL CHARGES FOR CONDITIONALLY EXEMPT SMALL QUANTITY GENERATORS "; ADOPT THE ORDINANCE expenses to the District in check, staff recommends adding an administration fee of $20 for each CESQG drop off to account for a portion of the total costs of managing the CESQG wastes. The current handling and disposal charges remain unchanged. The administration fee is calculated to recover most of the District's actual costs incurred in providing these services. In FY 2002/2003, this administration fee would have added an additional 22 %, or $4,500, to the overall CESQG charges, based on FY 2002/2003 CESQG participation figures. The current charges for small businesses only cover the costs for transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes. The proposed administration fee will recover the incremental labor costs for serving small business customers. The current and proposed small business charges do not include any costs associated with the construction and improvement of the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility. The proposed revisions to the CESQG charges were reviewed by the Household Hazardous Waste Committee on October 7, 2003. The Committee members reported the intention to revise the CESQG charges to the Board on October 16, 2003. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Conduct a public hearing to receive comments regarding a proposed ordinance to amend District Code Chapter 6.40 "Hazardous Waste Handling and Disposal Charges for Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators." Adopt the proposed ordinance (see Attachment 1). Page 2 of 9 UAPosition Papers \HHW \CESQG 1- 15- 04 \CESQGPositionPaper1- 15- 04.doc Attachment 1 ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT TO AMEND DISTRICT CODE CHAPTER 6.40 HAZARDOUS WASTE HANDLING AND DISPOSAL CHARGES FOR CONDITIONALLY EXEMPT SMALL QUANTITY GENERATORS WHEREAS, the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (District) operates a permanent Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility ( HHWCF) at 4797 Imhoff Place, Martinez, California; and WHEREAS, the HHWCF and its operating plan were designed to provide hazardous waste collection, handling, recycling, and disposal services to both residential customers and small businesses that qualify under state regulations as "Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators," generally referred to as CESQG; and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. 206 on August 6, 1998 adding Chapter 6.40 Hazardous Waste Handling and Disposal Charges for Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Code; and WHEREAS, Section 6.40.030 of the District Code provides authority for the Board of Directors, from time to time, to determine and adopt charges for handling and disposal of CESQG hazardous wastes; and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. 212 on November 19, 1999, revising Hazardous Waste Handling and Disposal Charges.

The Board further finds that it is appropriate that this category of HHWCF users should compensate the District for costs associated with the handling, transportation and disposal of CESQG hazardous wastes which are not provided for under the current District sewer service charge program, and the most equitable and least administratively complex system is to charge individual CESQG users the established cost noted in Table 6.40.030 and an administration fee of no less than $20.00 for each drop off. 6.40.020 Recovery of Costs The District shall collect charges from each eligible business that participates in the HHWCF's CESQG program to recover the actual cost of properly transporting and disposing of the particular hazardous wastes collected from the participating business and administering the CESQG program. 6.40.030 Method for Determining and Adopting Charges A. The District Board of Directors shall adopt charges for handling and disposal of the various categories of CESQG hazardous wastes accepted at the HHWCF, from time to time, by ordinance upon a two- thirds vote, after having conducted a properly noticed public hearing, at which oral and written presentations could be made, as part of a regularly scheduled meeting. B. The handling and disposal charges will be determined based on the costs paid by the District for the particular packaging and disposal /recycling methods used at the HHWCF for each category of CESQG waste, and shall include an administration fee. C. The HHWCF accepts a variety of wastes that are required to be packaged and disposed of by different methods. From time to time, those methods may change based on the marketplace, and on evolving regulation. UAPosition Papers \HHW\CESQG 1- 15- 04 \CESQG6.40ExhibitA.DOC Page 6 of 9 Nothing in this chapter is intended to limit the variety of packaging and disposal methods employed by the HHWCF staff. The primary methods currently employed, as described further below, are bulking, loose- packing, and lab- packing. Bulking. Wastes are emptied from the original container accepted by the HHWCF into larger transportation containers (55- gallon or 250 - gallon drums), or the HHWCF's storage tanks prior to being transported off -site. The unit (per gallon) charge for bulked waste, to be applied to on the actual volume of waste accepted by the HHWCF, will be the actual unit cost paid by the District to transport and dispose of the waste at an authorized recycling or disposal facility. 2. Loose - Packing. Wastes in the original container accepted by the HHWCF are placed into 55- gallon drums, 1 cubic yard tubskids, or other transport containers without absorbent/cushioning material. Partially full original containers occupy the same amount of space as full containers in a drum, tubskid, or transport container. Charges to be applied to each size of original container accepted by the HHWCF will be determined by dividing the unit transportation /disposal cost the District pays per drum, tubskid, or transport container by the number of original containers of a particular size that can be placed in a drum, tubskid, or transport container. 3. Lab - Packing. Wastes in the original container accepted by the HHWCF are placed into 55- gallon drums together with absorbent/cushioning material. Partially full original containers occupy the same amount of space as full containers in a drum. Charges to be applied to each size of original container accepted by the HHWCF will be determined by dividing the unit transportation /disposal cost the District pays per drum by the number of original containers of a particular size that can be placed into a drum. D. A schedule of hazardous waste handling and disposal charges for conditionally exempt small quantity generators is presented in Table 6.40.030 at the end of this chapter.

REAL PROPERTY Type of Action: AUTHORIZE AGREEMENT subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH DAVID DEUTSCHER COMPANY FOR PROFESSIONAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND NEGOTIATE LEASE AGREEMENTS FOR THE KEIWITT AND LAGISS PROPERTIES submitted By: Randall M. Musgraves Initiating Dept. /Div.: Administration REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION. graves K. Alm General ISSUE: Authorization of the Board of Directors is requested for the General Manager to execute a professional services agreement for property management with David Deutscher Company. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to execute a professional services agreement for property management with David Deutscher Company, and direct staff to negotiate lease agreements under this contract, including the Lagiss and Keiwitt properties. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The contract with David Deutscher Company, a local property management and commercial real estate firm, for services is based upon the overall lease income of the properties. This arrangement would stimulate the maximum lease income compatible with District facilities and requirements. Staff believes that even with the most advantageous lease agreements for all District lease parcels, annual property management expenses would be approximately $20,000; there would also be annual lease commissions on newly leased District property. Existing lease revenue is $421,000 per year, and staff estimates that lease revenue could increase by approximately $300,000 to $600,000 annually on District properties. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Continue with the current property lease arrangements where the Director of Administration or his staff oversees lease agreements and property management for the District. As an ancillary duty, this has a lower administrative cost, but would limit the District's ability to act expeditiously on possible business or lease opportunities. A second alternative to this agreement would be to use another real estate firm for property management of existing lease property and to develop new lease Page 1 of 6 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: January 15, 2004 subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH DAVID DEUTSCHER COMPANY FOR PROFESSIONAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND NEGOTIATE LEASE AGREEMENTS FOR THE KEIWITT AND LAGISS PROPERTIES arrangements. There appears to be no economic advantage to using another firm without the existing experience and knowledge of District properties. BACKGROUND: The Board has expressed interest in increasing the lease income from District property provided that the lease use is compatible with District functions. The District owns various parcels of property around the Treatment Plant perimeter that act as "buffer" zone, as well as buildings at 4737 Imhoff Place and the existing County Animal Control facility. Presently most of the District's lease property is underutilized in the present real estate market; the Lagiss property is used for cattle grazing at $600 annually, and the Keiwitt property is used for horse grazing at $1 per month. There is also existing lease income from the spaces at 4737 Imhoff Place, and existing property leases with County Quarry and Contra Costa Topsoil. There are two issues for immediate consideration of alternative uses of District property. First, the District has received notification of the Conco development north of the District's treatment plant. This proposed development would affect District property leased by Contra Costa Topsoil. The second issue is the expanded use by the County Quarry of the north portion of the Keiwitt property. Additional property may be needed on the south side of the Keiwitt property to accommodate additional County Quarry activities. Staff would also like the District to consider alternative uses of the remaining Keiwitt property and Lagiss property. Staff discussed with the Board the various opportunities to lease District owned property and increase rental income, while maintaining uses compatible with District facilities. Based on Board input, staff is requesting that David Deutscher Company pursue such lease agreements. The specific parcels are as follows: 1. Lagiss Property (approximately 49 acres) 2. Keiwitt Property (approximately 33 acres) 3. Animal Shelter (available April 4, 2004) 4. 1.5 acres near the Household Hazardous Waste Facility Attached are the previously discussed criteria regarding the feasibility for lease proposals (Attachment 1) and information on possible lease opportunities for the parcels (Attachment 2) listed above. Also attached, is a spreadsheet displaying eight conceptual proposals the District has recently received (Attachment 3). Page 2 of 6 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: January 15, 2004 subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH DAVID DEUTSCHER COMPANY FOR PROFESSIONAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND NEGOTIATE LEASE AGREEMENTS FOR THE KEIWITT AND LAGISS PROPERTIES The amount of the property management contract with David Deutscher Company is under the limit normally requiring Board approval, but staff felt it was appropriate to have the Board actively involved in this process. As leases are negotiated, the Board will be kept informed and approve the final lease documents. David Deutscher Company was selected as the property management firm due to his extensive history with the District, his aid in recent property evaluations, and his reputation and experience as a property manager in the community. District staff has reviewed the rate and terms of the contract and found them favorable compared with similar firms. The District contacted others in the field as to the reasonableness of fees, including Mr. Michael Clancy, President of the Contra Costa County Board of Realtors. The contract runs for one year, with automatic renewal annually, unless either party wishes to end the contract. While the annual cost of this property management agreement is subject to several factors, the expense to the District is between 1 to 4% of the lease amount; there is also an annual commission associated with new leases that is part of the lease negotiation process. Such agreement terms are designed to encourage the maximization of lease income to the District, compatible with District operations. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize the General Manager to execute the property management contract with David Deutscher Company and direct staff to negotiate lease agreements for the Lagiss and Keiwitt properties. Page 3 of 6 Attachment 1 PROPERTY LEASE CONSIDERATIONS IN PRIORITY ORDER 1. Legal constraints - The Keiwitt property has limitations due to the airport. Any leasing must ensure that there is not an increase in birds to the area. In addition, there is a height restriction for buildings on the property. Only single story buildings can be located on the property closest to the airport. The height restriction gradually decreases the further from the airport the building is located. 2. Public access — The property was purchased as buffer to minimize odor complaints. The District does not want to create additional complaints by leasing to uses where the public would complain of odors. 3. Community concerns — The District needs to be sensitive to increased traffic, noise, dust and aesthetics in order to avoid or minimize community complaints. 4. Income — The District has an opportunity to increase its revenue. 5. Maintenance costs — Staff believes it is in the District's best interests to minimize maintenance and repair costs so as not to negatively impact net lease income. 6. Environmental impacts — Leasing opportunities should support the District's mission statement regarding protecting the environment. 7. Recycle water usage — Staff continues to look for ways to meet our permit requirements, including increased recycle water usage by our tenants. 8. Improvement costs — The Board commented that they do not desire to seek debt financing to develop the properties into office space or business parks. Page 4 of 6 DISTRICT LEASE PARCELS LAGISS PARCEL Attachment 2 A local developer has contacted staff with a proposal for the entire 33 -acre parcel for recreational use, possibly a nine -hole golf course. Staff considers the proposal very conceptual and will discuss the components at the Board meeting. A component of the proposal may encompass the relocation of Contra Costa Topsoil to the Keiwitt Property. This relocation is a likely outcome of the Conco development proposal and the widening of the Waterbird Way access road. The widening of the road will significantly impact the current use of and access to the property. Staff has had preliminary discussions with the tenant and has received positive interest in the proposed relocation. KE/W/TT PARCEL Staff is proposing to develop a consortium of environmental businesses on the Kiewitt property that would be a positive image for the community and the District. The District has received proposals from a greenhouse landscaping company; a tree growing company involved in composting; plant growing, green waste recycling, and corporation yard; and the relocation of Contra Costa Topsoil that sells topsoil, compost and ground cover. All companies have agreed to work with the District to increase recycled water usage, support the pollution prevention and Master Gardener programs, and are willing to provide their products to the District at cost or at a reduced rate. This concept helps to improve the District's property at little or no cost. ANIMAL SHELTER Staff has received comments from a valve manufacturer of interest in the lease of the Animal Shelter site. Use would include both the modest office area and a portion on the site for storage and warehousing of material. Staff has begun very preliminary discussions with the District's Property Manager regarding the most beneficial use and lease income opportunities. As plans become more feasible and /or viable, staff will return to the Board for a request to negotiate a lease agreement.
