Rexroad - disagrees w/ those comments; wants fees to be exactly what they are, not one penny less/or a penny more; never voted against, but got red flags & wants to understand; wants to protect taxpayer; we made decision on solar panel - good with 300% increas.

Recommended Action 7.02

started at 2:43 pm - returned from recess right before 7.02

Phil Hogan addressed board.

Yamada - would be nice to know who owns the parcels. & potential for productivity w/ water.

McGowan - question re: requiring mitigation for Ag Infrastructure - from ag use, existing ag use to go to non ag use; wineries allowed in the A-1; duane, so Mariani's and, are exempt? yes - different deal, different criteria; opened public hearing;

Lynnel - wants it removed for in-lieu fee, wants them to go towards mitigation easement - to preserve ag land, not collect fees. as to mitigation ratio, they think it should be 2/1; mitigation bank - support concept; Helen - not sure she understands issue of in-lieu fees concept: Lynell if those fees, the money going directly to a project, don't see it in the ordinance;

Matt - we want to be bold about agriculture

McGowan - bundle up the 5 acres? Matt - Pollock - level of fee? mike - if fee were more, could we trust them? Lynnel ag futures alliance recommends mitigation banking, so when small development, etc.

Scott Stone - y.c. farmer & rancher, issues re: project size - 40 acres of in lieu fees- perhaps change to 10-20 acres; 40 acres large amt.; class 2 and 1 soils, a ton of land that isn't in those circles, one recommendation would be to look at the whole county, and looking at all lands; the HCP is currently in process, needs to be able to develop some type of program; on mitigation banking - suggests we develop some mitigation ranches, and have them held by the ranchers; questions: Mike, the mitigation banking, how does that get funded? the developers who need credits, usually swainson's hawk or xxx;

Lynnel prefers a mitigation bank; Yamada - in lieu fees, aren't they a one size fits all? Lynnel, there may be some instances where the mitigation may not be there.

Scott Stone: when people come over to y.c. the hcp, the lib. will have a list of peo. in these banks; Mike - wants to discuss the; Mary Kimball - representing Yolo Land Stone - re: ag mitigation banks, they are doing mitigations, so why not put these two items together? also, was concerned about who owns the banks, the yolo land trust is well poised to help board; Mary, if you take the flexibility away; the 2-4 mile radius, they believe in strategic, thinks they are taking away the flexibility; does not support a 1:1 ratio.

K.C. supports higher ratios.

Jim Burchill - re: 2:1 mitigation, does not have 2-4 mile radius, thinks puts car before the horse; thinks synergy wants new language in ordinace to clarify and set clear

Mark Wilson - Duane - what does it cost to put in an acre of grapes? Wilson, depends on the land, range $8,000 - 20,000; could say that a rule of thumb is that it takes 7 1/2 years to 8 or more to get pay back on initial investment; Mark Wilson- thinks were all tremendous comments, good comments, need to review matter longer; thinks process is not fully vetted; thinks a lot of concepts, habitat plan, thinks need to work on this at the committee level, don't think they are their yet, there was no consensus on final - don't want to make competing levels, need a good one for y.c.

****Board - Mike o.k. w/ in-lieu of fees; not going to support 2 mile radius; has radical question, assuming that all easements are in perpetuity - if I am farmer, I have to be concerned about my property; last thing, they asked the group to meet on this; Matt: Closed public hearing; Matt: is adament of in-lieu fee, agrees w/ mike re: 2 mile zone; not opposed on the 2:1 deal, but 1:1 ratio does not mean a lot; it really more about location, will go w/a 1:1 with some type of location requirement.

Mike - you may consider a bonus. Matt- protect the higher quality soils.

Yamada - to follow up on those comments; has questions for Eric - feels a sense that we need to take a position: how is the ag mitigation ord. guiding our general plan, etc; are these all working together; David Morrison - the best preservation plan is through the general plan; board has expressed earlier, that they want to protect greenbelts, by focusing 2-4 mitigation ratio; Morrison, if the board wants staff to go back and review, we ask that you direct staff to review specific issue; has in-lieu mitigation issues - may be hard until they are set up.

Question would be who fronts the $ and get refund with time; the other issue is the location; if the board wants further direction - the board has set up;

Yamada likes the 2:1 for mitigation, don't quite understands how davis does it, they stack it, but now they say they don't; Supports the 2-4 mile radius for mitigation, as a priority, but doesn't think a one size fits all works; the In-Lieu's - likes to keep some flexibility, under very restricted conditions; on mitigation banks, want to speak more; the homes in perpetuity, there should be penalties for early withdrawal; (what is the current ratio for development in woodland)

Chamberlain - is against the in-lieu fee.

Helen- some developers - can they pay the in-lieu fee and have the staff deal with it? ask staff how much $ do we hold in fees? Morrison, about 1/2 million - haven't been able to have relationship - what staff wants to do is leverage;

Matt- wants it to be more direct - shouldn't be Helen- does care how they spend the $ Matt -

***Mike it’s regarding the in lieu-of, we have a number of folks that want to do a residential project - thinks they should be able to pay mitigation ord.

Helen - thought the economic development was well done, it really sets up the sacog connector study, infrastructure needs to preserve agriculture;

4:49:23 - MIKE MOVED/Helen second: 4/1 noes: Rexroad
Mike moved that the ordinance remain at: 1:1 RATIO; maintain in lieu fees of $10,100; Reduce to 5 Acres instead of 40; Leave the 2 & 4 mile radius; IN THE MEANTIME, THOSE INTERESTED IN CREATING A MITIGATION BANK; PHIL POGLEDICH - ASKED BOARD TO EXEMPT THOSE PROJECTS who have submitted applications and that are ALREADY IN the pipelines;

in meantime those who are interested in addressing mitigation counsel: Seconded by Helen;

Helen - concerned about the radius, that would be a very high impact there - so now changing to direct mitigation - thinks it’s appropriate, but to just say - concerned about radius thing; but supports at that time;

Phil Pogledich - consider exempting item that are already in the pipeline, ones that we have already would be a significant impact about 3 projects, David Morrison, addressed board;

Matt - is disappointed in the outcome;

Duane - amends to only construct on class 5 soils - only A JOKE - NO CLASS 5 SOILS!
-------
04:52:45 - restated motion- mitigation ratio, could address later;

yamada - wants to be on record that indicates she does not support a 1:1 mitigation ratio
