[2. 19-9139 Discussion and Possible Action to Approve a Renwal of a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, and EBX-GCW, LLC (Festina Lente Ranch) for the purchase and transfer of Golden-Cheeked Warbler conservation credits.]
AGENDA.ITEM NUMBER TWO IS DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE A RENEWAL OF A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO AND E B X G C W L L C, UM, FOR THE FAINA LENTE RANCH FOR THE PURCHASE AND TRANSFER OF GOLDEN CHEEK LER CONSERVATION CREDITS.
UM, THIS IS A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY FOR A ONE YEAR TERM, UM, WITH E B X G C W.
THIS IS MERELY AN EXTENSION OF THAT M O U TO ALLOW FOR UP TO THREE ONE YEAR TERMS FOR US TO BE ABLE TO, UH, FOR OUR APPLICANTS TO PURCHASE AND TRANSFER THOSE CREDITS TO OUR CONSERVATION BANKS FOR GOLDEN CHEEK WARBLER BECAUSE IF YOU'LL REMEMBER, WE DON'T HAVE ANY, THE PLAN ITSELF DOES NOT HAVE ANY GOLDEN CHEEK WARBLER, UH, PRESERVES OF OUR OWN.
WE ONLY HAVE THE CARS PRESERVES.
SO THIS IS THE WAY TO PROVIDE THE MITIGATION FOR THE GOLDEN CHEEK WARBLER.
ARE THERE ANY CHANGES TO THE CURRENT AGREEMENT? THE ONLY CHANGE TO THE AGREEMENT IS THE ADDITION OF THE TWO ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR TERMS THAT THEY COULD EXTEND TO.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A COUPLE OF EDITS ON
[00:05:01]
PAGE FIVE.UH, THE PUBLIC WORKS ADDRESS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED TO 1948 PROBAND STREET 7 8 2 1 4.
THAT'S WITH THEIR RECENT MOVE.
TONY, DID YOU GET THAT ADDRESS? YES, MA'AM.
AND ON PAGE EIGHT, CATHERINE RAMOS IS NO LONGER WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S CRITICAL TO HAVE A NAME THERE OR NOT, BUT WE CAN, WE CAN UPDATE THE NAME BEFORE WE GET THE SIGNATURES ON IT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS? GO AHEAD.
I HAVE A QUESTION TO CLARIFY THIS ACTION IS EXERCISING CURRENT LANGUAGE UNDER THE M O U TO EXTEND OR ARE WE ADDING LANGUAGE TO EXTEND? THIS WOULD BE A NEW M O U BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS M O U EXPIRED, SO THIS IS FOR A NEW TERM.
AND TO ALLOW AN ADDITIONAL TWO TERMS, THE PREVIOUS M O U ONLY ALLOWED ONE TERM WITH NO AUTOMATIC EXTENSION AND UNDER THE, UM, PROPOSED ACTION, WOULD ANY FUTURE EXTENSIONS REQUIRE THIS BOARD'S APPROVAL OR THOSE ADMINISTRATIVE? THOSE WOULD BE ADMINISTRATIVE UNTIL WE GET TO THE FOURTH YEAR, AND THEN WE WOULD NEED TO, UM, REAUTHORIZE THE M O U.
AND SO THEN THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY MATERIAL EDIT FROM THAT FIRST M O U TO THIS ONE, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DO I HAVE A MOTION MOVE TO APPROVE? SECOND, DID WE AMEND THE MOTION MOVE TO APPROVE WITH YOUR RECOMMENDED CHANGES? YES.
I SAID I JUST REALIZED AFTER I SAID, UH,
I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE EDITS AS NOTED WITH A SECOND.

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE.ITEM NUMBER THREE IS JUST APPROVAL OF THE SS E P H C P COORDINATING COMMITTEE MEETING SCHEDULE FOR 2020.
THAT IS UP ON THE SCREEN AND SHOULD BE ON YOUR SCREEN AS WELL.
WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT WE'LL USE ALL OF THESE DATES, BUT WE WANTED TO JUST GO AHEAD AND HAVE THEM AVAILABLE FOR USE.
SO THESE ARE AS NOTED AT THE BOTTOM.
THESE MEETINGS ARE SCHEDULED, BUT WILL BE CANCELED AS NEEDED AND IT ESSENTIALLY FOLLOWS THE SAME MEETING DATES THAT WE DID IN 2018 AND 2019.
I HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF EDITS.
UM, APRIL 25TH I BELIEVE SHOULD BE APRIL 28TH AND JUNE 14TH SHOULD BE JUNE 16TH.
WHAT WAS THE DATE IN APRIL BOB? 28TH, I BELIEVE.
WHAT WAS THE OTHER DATE? SIX 14 TO, I'M SORRY.
SIX FOUR TO SIX SIX I BELIEVE.
ALSO, A NOVEMBER 24 DATE IS, UH, TWO DAYS FROM THANKSGIVING.
YEAH, I, I IMAGINE THAT THAT ONE WILL PROBABLY BE CANCELED, BUT WE'LL GO AHEAD AHEAD AND KEEP IT, BUT WE CAN, WELL, LET'S, LET'S GO AHEAD AND CANCEL IT NOW.
THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE IT SCHEDULED FOR THAT MONTH.
UM, AND THEN IF WE NEED TO HOST ANOTHER MEETING, WE CAN DO THAT.
BE BY THE NOVEMBER 10TH MEETING IF WE NEED TO, TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER ONE.
SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND TAKE THAT ONE OFF AS WELL.
IS THAT IN A FORM OF A MOTION? ANYONE? I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE, UH, CHANGING THE APRIL 25TH DATE TO APRIL 28TH.
JUNE 14TH TO JUNE 16TH, AND REMOVING THE NOVEMBER 24TH SCHEDULE MEETING DATE.

[00:10:01]
UM, THIS IS A MITIGATION DETERMINATION THAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED, UH, IN MAY OF 2018.THOSE MITIGATION, DETERMIN LA DETERMINATION LETTERS ARE VALID FOR ONE YEAR.
SO THAT MITIGATION DETERMINATION EXPIRED ON MAY OF 2019.
THE REASON THE MITIGATION DETERMINATION LETTERS EXPIRE IS TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY CHANGES TO OUR FEE SCHEDULE AND THE PLAN FOR MITIGATION FEES.
AS THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHANGES PROPOSED AND NO CHANGES.
UM, PENDING FOR THE MITIGATION FEES, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE ONE YEAR EXTENSION AND THAT ONE YEAR EXTENSION WOULD TAKE IT TO MAY 9TH, 2020.
AND MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE APPLICANT IS AS SOON AS THE EXTENSION GETS APPROVED, THEY'RE READY TO AT LEAST DO ONE PART OF THE MITIGATION ENROLLMENT BEFORE THE END OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? DO I HAVE, GO AHEAD.
DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? UH, THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD IS, IS THERE A LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF EXTENSIONS THAT THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF EXTENSIONS, AND THIS IS OUR FIRST ONE.
AND I THINK FOR ANY FUTURE EXTENSIONS, WE JUST TAKE 'EM ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.
BUT MAINLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS THAT THERE'S BEEN NO CHANGE IN THE, UH, BIOLOGICAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND THAT THERE'S BEEN NO CHANGES IN OUR FEE SCHEDULE THAT WOULD AFFECT THE MITIGATION DETERMINATION.
SO THERE IS AN EVALUATION THAT IS DONE, UM, TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS NOT CHANGED.
IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT HAS CHANGED, THEN THERE WILL BE A FULL REVIEW THAT WILL BE DONE.
AND, UM, OUR CONSULTANT, JENNY BLAIR AND I TOOK, TOOK A LOOK AT IT AFTER MEETING WITH THE APPLICANT AND DETERMINED THAT WE WERE COMFORTABLE IN RECOMMENDING THE EXTENSION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
DO I HAVE A MOTION? MOVE TO APPROVE? I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
[5. 19-9116 Approval of minutes from the May 14, 2019, meeting.]
AND THE FINAL ITEM IS THE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FROM THE MAY 14TH, 2019 MEETING.ANY CHANGES TO THOSE MINUTES? NO CHANGES.
WILL MOTION FOR APPROVAL MOVE TO APPROVE? APPROVE.
AND I THINK THAT CONCLUDES OUR MEETING.
THAT'S THE FINAL ITEM ON THE AGENDA.
I GUESS IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT I ABSTAIN FROM THE VOTE 'CAUSE I WASN'T HERE, SO.
OH, FROM THE, FROM THE MINUTES? YEAH.
