The easement shall be effective from its date of recording and shall continue so long as the Easement Area -2- is used for golf course purposes. In the event the Elks Club or its successors in interest discontinue the use of'the Easement Area as part of 9 hole or more golf course then the easement shall terminate and the use and possession of the Easement Area shall revert to the City.

The parties hereto understand and agree that in order to establish and maintain two viable golf course holes on the Easement Area referred to in paragraph 1 above it will be necessary that some -3- chemicals be applied to the Easement Area for pest, fungus and weed control. In order to minimize the potential impact of the application of chemicals on the Easement Area, the Elks Club agrees that it will limit its use of chemicals to those chemicals identified on the attached schedule and that the frequency of application of said chemicals will also be in accordance with the attached schedule. The parties agree that the Schedule of Permitted Chemicals may be amended from time to time to add chemicals, to delete chemicals and to modify the frequency of application of chemicals. Amendments to the schedule may be requested by the City or the Elks Club, but shall only be adopted with the approval of both the City and the Elks Club, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. CITY CHEMICAL USE COVENANT. The City agrees that in the event the area lying north and west of the Easement Area is sold by the City for private development, then the City will place restrictions on said area as a covenant running with the title to the area sold, which restrictions will limit the use of chemicals on said area and which restrictions will be no less restrictive than the chemical use restrictions applicable to the Easement Area. In the event that said area lying north and west of the Easement Area is developed by the City for public use, said chemical use restrictions shall also be applicable to the City's use of chemicals on said area. PERMITTED AND REQUIRED MONITORING. a. The Elks Club agrees that the City shall have the right to monitor and inspect application of chemicals to the Easement Area but that the City shall have no obligation to monitor or inspect. The Elks Club acknowledges that it shall be the sole obligation and responsibility of the Elks Club to see that; (i) only approved chemicals are applied to the Easement Area; (ii) chemical applications are accomplished in accordance with manufacturers directions; and (iii) that all chemical applications to the Easement Area are accomplished in accordance with any applicable state or federal requirements. The Elks Club further agrees that the City shall have access to all Elks Club records relating to chemical applications of any kind within a reasonable time after the City's written request for such access. The City shall also have the right to install and maintain monitoring wells along the South and East boundaries of the Easement Area for the purpose of monitoring the presence of chemicals in the ground water flowing from the 4 o 10. Easement Area onto and under the City's property located south and east of the Easement Area. b. The City agrees that if it sells the area north of the Easement Area for private development that it will install monitoring wells along the north line of the Easement Area to monitor chemicals in the ground water flowing from said Area onto and under the Easement Area and that it will make the test results of the water samples collected from said wells available to the Elks Club within a reasonable time after receiving a written request for said test results from the Elks Club. If the City discontinues its monitoring along the South and East boundaries of the easement area, it may also discontinue its monitoring activities along the North line of the Easement Area. SUSPENSION OF CHEMICAL USE BY THE ELKS CLUB. The City shall have the right to order the Elks Club to suspend the application of chemicals on the Easement Area if the City determines in good faith and based upon reasonable evidence collected as a result of its monitoring activities that the continued application of certain chemicals on the Easement Area presents an imminent danger to the public health and safety.

We now have a proposed written agreement that we believe reflects the parties' agreement. We would like to get the agreement executed as soon as possible so that the Elks can do the grading and seeding of the golf hole area yet this fall. This is to both parties' advantage as it increases the likelihood that the Elks will be able to complete the golf hole construction during the 1998 construction season. The City cannot begin the construction of Foster Road until the golf hole construction is complete. It is unlikely that the Elks will be able to do the grading and seeding this fall if the agreement is not executed by October 21. The Elks' survey of the golf holes and the City's surveys of the Foster Road extension and the easements are not yet complete. Therefore, the agreement attaches general descriptions of these areas and provides a right to each party to approve the other party's final survey. Chuck $chmadeke has met with the Elks and the Elks concur with the general alignment of the road that is attached to the agreement. Under this alignment, an attempt will be made to preserve the large oak tree. In order to save the two oak trees at the end of the road extension we would have to encroach on the Meardon property to the west. The State Code requires a public hearing prior to a City's disposition of property by sale or lease for a term of more than three years. Conveyances are not being made at this time but once executed, the agreement will require the City to make conveyances in the future. Therefore, I believe it is necessary to hold a public hearing prior to the Council's execution of the agreement. A Special Meeting has been called for Thursday, October 16 in order to set a public hearing on the Council's intent to execute the agreement. A resolution authorizing execution of the agreement will be on the October 21 agenda. CC: Steve Atkins Dale Helling Chuck Schmadeke Karin Franklin Marian Karr Prepared by: Eleanor M.
