City owns certain open space property, commonly known as Pastures#1 and#2, <br /> adjacent to property owned by Spotorno, and the City is willing to lease such Pastures to <br /> Spotorno on the terms and conditions as provided in the Lease. <br /> B. Spotorno desires to lease the Pastures and is agreeable to the terms and conditions of <br /> this Lease. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises herein, the parties agree as <br /> follows: <br /> 1. Lessor leases to Lessee for cattle pasturage/grazing purposes the real property <br /> depicted as Pasture#1, approximately 62 acres, and Pasture#2, approximately 41 acres, in <br /> Exhibit A to this Lease (the Pastures) for cattle grazing as provided in the City of Pleasanton <br /> Happy Valley Golf Course Grazing/Resource Management Plan by Sage Associates dated Nov. <br /> 2001 (the Grazing/Resource Management Plan). <br /> 2. Because the significant amount of fence repair work needed at the Pastures which <br /> Lessee will need to carry-out to make the Pastures usable by cattle, as well as the requirement <br /> that the City subject the Pastures to a burn program(which would have a cost to City) if there <br /> was no grazing program, City shall charge Lessee rent as follows: <br /> (a) for years one to three of the term of this Lease, Lessee shall pay no rent, <br /> but be required to fix and maintain the Pasture fences, and graze cattle on the <br /> Pastures as required by this Lease and the Grazing/Resource Management <br /> Plan; and <br /> (b) for years four and five of this Lease, so long as Lessee has cattle graze the <br /> Pastures as required by the terms of this Lease and the Grazing/Resource <br /> Management Plan, Lessee shall pay one-half(1/2) of the a variable rate <br /> charged by the City and County of San Francisco Public Utilities Commission <br /> (Commission) for similar watershed property that the Commission leases for <br /> grazing purposes in Alameda County; the rate shall be based on animal unit <br /> months (AUM), i.e., the number of cattle on the property for certain periods <br /> of time. <br /> 3. Lessee shall keep no more than twenty-two (22) units on the Pastures at any time, <br /> unless prior written approval is given to the Lessee from the City's Rangeland Manager and the <br /> Page 1 of 6 <br />
