The terms of the Lease provide for an Annual Report and an updated Business and Strategic Plan (Business Plan) be submitted annually by April 1 st AgLantis submitted the two attached documents on April 1, 2018 for its 2017 performance. Additionally, the Real Estate Environmental and Planning (BEEP) Committee recommended on February 14, 2018 that "the Board review the Farm update and make a decision about the future of the project." The REEP Committee had reviewed a quarterly update, but as the Annual Report was forthcoming, staff waited for the more comprehensive materials to put the matter before the Board. This memo is an assessment of the report elements and adherence to minimum performance goals outlined in the Lease and provides the facts as staff understands. Timeline On July 3, 2014 when the Lease commenced, a Land Use Permit was needed for Contra Costa County (County) to allow farming on the heavy-industrial zoned parcel. Per the terms of the Lease, "The District will apply for the initial land use permit within two months of the commencement of this Lease. The Tenant will be responsible for obtaining all other necessary permits prior to the commencement of any activity requiring a permit."After numerous meetings with the Airport Land Use Committee and Community Development staff, a County Land Use Hearing was held on December 21, 2015 and Central San obtained the Permit effective January 1, 2016, subject to 10 findings and 61 conditions of approval (COA). May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 356 of 534 Page 4 of 90 AgLantis/CoCo San Sustainable Farm Update May 17, 2018 Board Meeting Page 2 of 12 Of the total 61 COAs outlined in the Land Use Permit, Central San is responsible for six,' while AgLantis is responsible for the remainder. Many COAs pertain to operation restrictions and requirements to obtain building permits. While the County did not outline which of the COAs were the applicable conditions that needed to be satisfied to allow farming activities, both AgLantis and Central San completed specific COAs towards that end. Land Use Permit COA#4 states "Applicant shall be allowed to begin farming activities prior to requesting building permits for approved structures or buildings, given that all other applicable conditions of approval have been satisfied."This condition is consistent with the Lease as it does not require the greenhouse construction until the third operational year and allows traditional farming the first year. The following items were completed in 2016 and the beginning of 2017. Date COA Activity July #35 AgLantis submits Wildlife Management Plan to County. 2016 Sept #3 Central San and AgLantis jointly draft compliance report matrix; 2016 which AgLantis submits to County in addition to application and $500 deposit. Dec #46 Central San completes Public Works approved roadway 2016 #47 improvements including installation of safety signs, paving #48 driveway to meet minimum 100 feet of asphalt at each #49 entrance. Gates are relocated to 40 feet from street pavement. #50 Feb #39 Central San sends County letter confirming indemnification 2017 On January 30, 2017, the County sent a letter noting that the September 2016 Compliance Report and submittals were incomplete. A meeting was set up on March 24, 2017 with Department of Conservation and Development, Public Works, Central San and AgLantis to clarify the requirements and meet the COAs in order to begin farming activities. During the meeting Carolyn Phinney, AgLantis President, noted that construction of the greenhouse would follow a parallel timeframe as the traditional farming on the site. As such, County staff stated that the submittals of the COAs with proof of completion should be done at one time to avoid piecemeal submittals and additional costs for processing the compliance report. Central San is responsible for Condition No. 39 and Nos.46-50 of the Land Use Permit(Attached) May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 357 of 534 Page 5 of 90 AgLantis/CoCo San Sustainable Farm Update May 17, 2018 Board Meeting Page 3 of 12 Defining First Year of Operation Though the lease commenced on July 3, 2014, the County Land Use Permit, was not approved and effective until January 1, 2016. Exhibit D "Minimum Performance Standards included in Business Plan" outlines standards and goals to be included annually as well as specific Performance goals for the first three years of the lease term. This matters because functional operation of the Farm could not commence until January 1, 2016 at a minimum, delaying the start of the three-year performance goals. On July 20, 2017, the Board received a "Farm Status Update" presented by Danea Gemmell and Bethallyn Black of AgLantis. Staff presented an explanation of delays on the Farm project during 2016 owing to communication difficulties with the County and the recommendation to consider calendar year 2017 as the first operational year. Though this information was presented, the Board did not take any formal action at the meeting. In its Business Plan, AgLantis has presented and assumed 2017 as the first operational year and documented its activities accordingly.2 For purposes of the following discussion, the first year of operation has been assumed to be 2017, although the Board has not taken formal action. Therefore, direction by the Board on whether to start Operational Year 1 in 2016 or 2017, as recommended by staff, is necessary to assess specific performance by AgLantis. Year 1 Performance Goals (Potentially 2017) The 2018 Business Plan outlines specific objectives for the first three years and general goals for the next five years. AgLantis does not state whether the specific objectives for the first operational year (2017) were achieved,3 however there is general discussion in the narrative, sprinkled throughout both documents, to assess performance compared to first year Performance Goals outlined in the Lease. • Amount of Produce provided to Food Bank or other non-commercial institutions The Annual Report did not indicate that produce was grown in 2017 nor specifically identify an amount of produce for the following year, but did identify plans to install irrigation after the Title 22 Permit was approved and noted that "Irrigation is essential because rain has been too unpredictable to even grow a winter cover crop.114 Crops from the greenhouse will be available by Year 4 to provide produce for the Food Bank.5 2 Pages 29 and 30 of Business Plan s Pages 29 and 30 of Business Plan a Page 3 of Annual Report s Page 34 of Business Plan May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 358 of 534 Page 6 of 90 AgLantis/CoCo San Sustainable Farm Update May 17, 2018 Board Meeting Page 4 of 12 • Construct perimeter fencing around all aboveground improvements (except fencing around green manure crop and some simple farm infrastructure to allow planting) Currently, no aboveground improvements have been constructed which would require perimeter fencing. In July 2017, AgLantis installed six-foot high chain link fencing along the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) as required by COA #15. • Plant a crop (such as green manure crop) - 5 acres In mid-2016 AgLantis started placing 25 acre-feet of wood chip mulch, donated by PG&E and EcoMulch. In 2017, a large donation of horse manure was placed on top of the wood chip structure to create a "lasagna compost" on the site. Bethallyn Black presented to the Board in July 2017 AgLantis' sustainable farming method, the Carbon Farming-No Till methodology, which AgLantis had substituted as an alternative methodology to planting a green manure crop. Central San did not approve nor take any action regarding the change in methodology. At the end of 2017, AgLantis planted a cover crop on top of the lasagna compost. However, with no rain in December 2017 or January 2018, the "drought killed what we planted.116 In addition to the specific performance objectives for the first three years, the Lease also requires general standards and goals that need to be addressed annually. The table below outlines these items and how AgLantis has responded to each in the 2017 Annual Report. It does not provide an assessment on the reasonableness of each item, but it serves as a checklist to show that these items were addressed.

Updates to Business Plan Submitted April 1 , 2018 Year 2 Performance Goals (Potentially 2018) The Business Plan outlines sixteen objectives to meet the second year Performance Goals stated in Exhibit D of the Lease.' • Plant a crop (such as green manure crop) - 5 acres As stated above AgLantis substituted the Carbon Farming-No Till methodology, to provide soil amendments. AgLantis addressed planting a 2018 crop as Objective No. 7 in the Business Plan. There are also plans to apply for grants to purchase Page 30 of Business Plan May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 360 of 534 Page 8 of 90 AgLantis/CoCo San Sustainable Farm Update May 17, 2018 Board Meeting Page 6 of 12 irrigation equipment after the Title 22 Recycled Water Permit is approved for agriculture. Staff initially requested irrigation plans form AgLantis on December 29, 2015. AgLantis experienced a number of delays in developing an irrigation plan. The first was when a pro-bono irrigation designer from the USDA - Natural Resources Conservation Service left the organization. The second plan was drawn by Bethallyn Black and a third prepared by a local engineer who donated time involved revising the site layout plant to reduce impervious surfaces. AgLantis resubmitted its final irrigation plan on April 27, 2018 with staff submitting the application to the Department of Drinking Water on May 3, 2018. A response is expected within the next two months which coincides with the plan to install the final connection and meter box. • Provide goods to a market or Donate goods to Food Bank or School District (Quantity as fourth in Business Plan) The Business Plan does not address the provision of goods to market in 2018. • Develop a teaching plan curriculum In spring 2018, Bethallyn Black, faculty in charge of horticulture, utilized Diablo Valley College students in spring 2018 to eliminate invasive exotic plant species from the Farm. While a teaching plan curriculum is not detailed, AgLantis cited many potential education partners in the Business Plan, including Contra Costa County Community College Board and John F. Kennedy University to develop relevant course offerings and create high-tech agriculture programs and certificates that include high tech greenhouse production and management training. • Increase volunteer's participation by 15% from previous year An additional fifteen volunteers in 2018 are needed to comply with this metric. Year 3 Performance Goals (Potentially 2019) Performance Goals for the third year are outlined as follows: • Provide remaining fencing around food crops and aboveground improvements • Provide goods to a market or Donate goods to Food Bank or School District (Quantity as forth in Business Plan) • Get Building Permit and construct Green House • Provide a teaching facility and start sustainable curriculum • Complete long term Strategic Plan • Submit Performance Requirements for Years 4, 5 & 6 (which shall be subject to approval by District) May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 361 of 534 Page 9 of 90 AgLantis/CoCo San Sustainable Farm Update May 17, 2018 Board Meeting Page 7 of 12 The Business Plan identifies eighteen specific objectives for the third operational year, however does not identify construction of the greenhouse among these objectives, but only loosely states construction within the next five years. Further detail within the Plan identifies that "2023 may be the first year of significant production."$ Discussion on the greenhouse construction schedule is discussed in more detail in the Section Farm Updates and Schedule below. Third Year of Operation Discussion To be consistent with the timing discussed in this memo, the third year is assumed as 2019. As outlined below, this language clearly suggests that the understanding of Central San at the time the Lease was negotiated is that by the third year there would be substantial progress on development of a productive farm. The Lease specifically considers the third year and provides opener for renegotiation of rent and recycled water terms after the third year is reached. Per Section 2.2 Rent, "It is the intention and expectation of the Parties that during the Term, the Sustainable Farm project will generate revenues from donations and the sale of farm products and related services. It is further understood and agreed that it will take several years for the Sustainable Farm prosect to reach a level where it may generate funds sufficient to pay Rent in excess of the One Dollar($1.00) per year... it is agreed that within ninety (90) days from the expiration of the third year of the Term, the Parties will meet and confer to discuss the potential viability of the Sustainable Farm project and paying additional Rent to District." Per Section 4.10 Utilities, "District will permit Tenant to connect to District's facilities for the use of recycled water, which recycled water will be provided at no cost for a minimum of three (3) years and thereafter shall be metered separately and billed to Tenant or may continue to be free of charge at the sole discretion of the District." With the timeframe of the Land Use Permit process taking until January 1, 2016, it seems that delay has caused the 10-year term to run out-of-sync with the first three- year Minimum Performance Standards as outlined in Exhibit D. The referenced Lease terms for rent and recycled water are effectively tolled to run concurrent with the operational Performance timeframe. Clarifications to AgLantis Annual Report and Business Plan AgLantis has made several statements in both the Annual Report and Business Plan that which Central San staff is not in agreement and may require clarification and correction. 8 Page 34 of Business Plan May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 362 of 534 Page 10 of 90 AgLantis/CoCo San Sustainable Farm Update May 17, 2018 Board Meeting Page 8 of 12 1. AgLantis contends that additional C-3 Requirements were added to the Farm by Central San. "We learned that Central San in paving the fill station driveway was going to pave the first 100 feet up to the farm gate as described in the Land Use Permit, but Central San would have exceeded the 10,000 square feet allowed without tripping C-3, and they would have had to mitigate for their fill station, so instead Central San did not complete the connection to the farm and stopped around 9,977 square feet (or some such) leaving the farm to deal with the consequences of Central San's construction project and requiring the farm to pave approximately 25 feet of land not rented by AgLantis and not described as our pavement in the lease or LUP."9 Response: It is difficult to understand why so much emphasis is given to this issue as typical C.3 storm water mitigations for impervious surfaces include directing runoff to adjacent landscaping that are self-retaining and providing zero runoff from the site. Since the Farm is effectively "heavy duty landscaping with a purpose" and encompasses a site that is 14.8 acres in size, C.3 mitigations should be straightforward and easy to address. C.3 requirements consider rooftop areas as impervious surfaces. Based on the design that AgLantis submitted for the Land Use Permit, the approved site plan includes 6,048 square feet of Greenhouse rooftop, 1,000 square feet of barn rooftop, and approximately 36,000 square feet for the access road and parking area. This, in and of itself, exceed the 10,000 square feet C.3 impervious surface exemption and would require onsite mitigation of storm water runoff. AgLantis is now seeking to modify its site plan to reduce impervious surfaces and this revised site plan needs to be approved by the County. The Lease states that all permit conditions imposed by the County as part of the Land Use process are the Farm's responsibility. Section 5.1.1 of the Lease states "Tenant shall not look to District for any satisfaction or execution of any conditions imposed by a land use permit that are not in the District's control or jurisdiction." Central San retained control of the frontage property along Imhoff Drive for access and did not include this area in the Lease. AgLantis and Central San ratepayers who use the automated recycled water fill station have access. The Land Use Permit LP14-2051 (Conditions #46 to #50) required frontage improvements that included paving "the first 100 feet of the access driveway, measured from the existing edge of pavement of Imhoff Drive into the property, to allow vehicles to pull completely off the roadway and still remain on a paved surface, and to prevent dust, gravel and debris from spilling onto Imhoff Drive." 9 Page 2 of Annual Report and page 28 of Business Plan May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 363 of 534 Page 11 of 90 AgLantis/CoCo San Sustainable Farm Update May 17, 2018 Board Meeting Page 9 of 12 In 2016, County Public Works approved improvement plans which were designed to meet the required roadway improvements identified under the Land Use Permit, including approximately 4,400 square feet of pavement for the driveway approaches (22 feet wide and 100 feet long). There were no C.3 mitigations required as the work stayed under the 10,000 square foot exemption for impervious surfaces. Dr. Phinney asserts that Central San left out 25 feet of pavement, up to the farm gate, which is outside of her Lease. This section was constructed with Class 2 Aggregate Base at 95% compaction. The improvements were inspected by Public Works and finaled in December 2016. Central San was not required to pave up to the farm gate and the sign-off from the County further proves this fact. Dr. Phinney also asserts that "Central San could have processed a separate permit for their fill station or fulfilled C-3 with self-treatment on the east side of the Kiewit property." There is nothing in the Lease that suggests an obligation for Central San to provide AgLantis a reservation on the C.3 exemption area or that it is inappropriate for Central San to utilize the exemption, especially when it should be considered that almost half of the paving was a COA for the Land Use Permit. 2. Contra Costa Fire was not engaged during the Land Use Permit process and has disallowed recycled water for fire. We have encountered another unexpected barrier. It was always discussed that the farm would use recycled water for fire as no potable water is available on that section of Imhoff that leads to the farm or any other tenant. After the March 24, 2017 meeting Dr. Phinney went to talk to the Fire Department. The person at the desk provided helpful information and went back to talk to the Fire Marshall, who said he had never heard of this farm and that Fire should have been consulted before the Land Use Permit was issued. We were told a special permission would be needed to use recycled water for fire. Later conversations took place with Fire Inspectors by Mike Milani and also with Dr. Phinney. We were both told that same thing, that special permission would be required. Then, the Fire Marshall disallowed such use.'° Response: Fire suppression is a requirement related to the building permit necessary for the greenhouse, for which AgLantis is responsible in obtaining Advisory Notes are provided at the end of the Land Use Permit Conditions. Advisory Note F states "Prior to applying for a building permit, the applicant is strongly encouraged to contact the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (Fire) to determine if additional requirements and/or additional permits are required as part of the proposed project." 10 Page 3 of Annual Report and page 29 of Business Plan May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 364 of 534 Page 12 of 90 AgLantis/CoCo San Sustainable Farm Update May 17, 2018 Board Meeting Page 10 of 12 As part of the Land Use Permit process, the full application and site plan were routed to various agencies for comments which are used to develop the conditions of approval. Fire was no exception and received plans on September 16, 2014 from County Department of Conservation and Development. Tad Leach of Fire responded on October 1, 2014 wtih the following comment "Any development on this parcel shall be subject to review and approval by the Fire District." As discussed previously AgLantis has chosen to construct the greenhouse on a parallel track as initiating traditional farming onsite. Fire suppression is a requirement related to the building permit necessary for the greenhouse, for which AgLantis is responsible in obtaining. The Land Use Permit allows farming as an allowable use for the Heavy-Industrial zoned parcel. It does not allow the construction of the greenhouse until after a building permit application is reviewed and approved. 3. AgLantis assertion that Central San staff were instructed to interfere with Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) approval "One Central San staff member told Dr. Phinney he had been instructed to make efforts to interfere with the ALUC's approval of the farm. It took nearly a year for the AL UC to finally approved the farm on May 15, 2015. Response: As the Planning and Development Services Division Manager, I was assigned by the General Manager to serve as Project Manager for the Sustainable Farm and chief point of contact, starting in December 2012 to present day, approximately five and one-half years. During that time, I have never been told to nor did I interfere with the approval process or give an instruction to staff working on the project to interfere. 4. There is an incorrect timeline presented and representation of the vote to approve the farm lease. The Central San Board approved the Lease with AgLantis on April 17, 2014 in a 4-1 vote, not on October 3, 2013 in a unanimous vote.12 The motion on October 3, 2013 directed staff to pursue a lease with CoCo San Sustainable Farm covering the west side of the property and formed an Ad Hoc Committee to negotiate terms of a lease. " Page 27 of the Business Plan 'Z Pages 10 and 27 of the Business Plan May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 365 of 534 Page 13 of 90 AgLantis/CoCo San Sustainable Farm Update May 17, 2018 Board Meeting Page 11 of 12 5. There is an inaccurate amount cited for expenditures related to the May 8, 2015 Kickoff event. Central San spent approximately $4,800 on expenses and $3,600 on staff time to host over 200 guests. The correct total is $8,393.55 and not "$25,000 plus staff time."13 Farm Updates and Schedule At the July 20, 2017 meeting, Board members expressed frustration at the lack of progress on the Farm and wanted to make a motion to have it treated more like a project with a budget, schedule, completion date and quarterly updates. Since the matter was not agendized for action at that meeting, it was the consensus of the Board to have a future agenda item. An item was placed on the August 17, 2017 consent calendar to adopt a project schedule approach, with quarterly updates and accept the milestone dates presented at the July 20, 2017 meeting. The item was continued with unanimous support by the Board, because it did not include milestone dates related to the County Land Use Permit, nor did it include a realistic budget for the next 12 to 18 months. On November 16, 2017, Dr. Carolyn Phinney presented an updated project schedule and budget and answered specific questions. The Board approved a motion to receive the updated project budget and schedule for the CoCo San Sustainable Farm and directed staff to limit Farm-related work to that contractually required of Central San by the Lease and Land Use Permit. The Annual Report and Business Plan did not provide updates to the project schedule and budget presented to the Board in November 2017. In a response to an April 2, 2018 request to update the Annual Report with this information, Dr. Phinney emailed the following response: "No, I'm sorry, you are making requests that are not part of the lease. As I told you previously, I do not have time to do anything more. I already added a Strategic Planning section to the Business Plan that is not part of the lease requirements. All of this took me more than two months of work. I need time to engage in the other activities required for AgLantis. Please read what I sent you. One of my board members suggested that Central San is trying to cripple us with non-lease requests to make us fail. We speak to this in the Business Plan." 13 Page 11 of the Business Plan May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 366 of 534 Page 14 of 90 AgLantis/CoCo San Sustainable Farm Update May 17, 2018 Board Meeting Page 12 of 12 Potential Modification of Minimum Performance Standards As previously discussed, the Board needs to provide clarity on the start of the first operational year. Staff has recommended this as 2017 to provide reasonable accommodation for communication difficulties with the County and Land Use conditions completed by Central San. Formally defining the start of operations allows clear assessment of the Minimum Performance Standards outlined in the Lease. As presented, the current schedules that AgLantis submitted on April 1, 2018 with respect to the third year, do not demonstrate that produce will be provided to the Food Bank or other non-commercial institutions in 2019. Separately, and of equal importance, the attached documents do not demonstrate that greenhouse will be constructed per Exhibit D of the Lease. The schedule provided in the Business Plan deviates from milestone dates presented to the Board on November 17, 2017. In particular, construction of the greenhouse has changed from completion by December 31, 2019 to "Goals for the next five years" in the Business Plan with no date. Based on the schedules submitted, the project activities may not comply with the minimum performance standards for the third year. This suggests to staff that future discussions may be necessary to either revise the Business Plan schedules, modify the Minimum Performance Standards or the future of the project as a whole. Therefore, it may be appropriate for the Board to consider this and other actions for both the future and near term of the AgLantis CoCo San Sustainable Farm project.
