RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 1 to the RPV I PVPLC Management Agreement to amend Exhibit
A, the Map of the Preserve Properties that are Managed by the PVPLC, to reflect the
removal of the Archery Range Property from the Preserve and the addition of 7 acres to
the Preserve resulting from the reconfiguration of the boundary limits of Gateway Park as
approved by the City Council at its April 1, 2014 meeting.
BACKGROUND
At its April 1, 2014 meeting, the City Council agreed to enroll the recently acquired 58-acre
Malaga Canyon property into the Preserve, remove the 40-acre Archery Range Property
from the Preserve, and reconfigure the Preserve boundary with Gateway Park resulting in
an additional 7 acres added to the Preserve. In addition, the Council, via the adopted
motion, directed Staff to come back with an amendment to the Management Agreement
between the City and the PVPLC to reflect these changes to the Preserve. This evening,
the Council is being asked to approve Amendment No. 1 to the RPV I PVPLC
Management Agreement amending the map of the Preserve properties managed by the
PVPLC .
DISCUSSION
On November 1, 2011, the City Council approved the Management Agreement between
the City and the PVPLC that describes the Preserve management responsibilities for both

entities. Attached to and incorporated as part of the Management Agreement, as Exhibit
A, is the Map of the Preserve Properties Managed by the PVPLC. Pursuant to the
Council's action at its April 1s1 meeting, the Map of the Preserve properties has been
amended to reflect the following changes (see attachment):
1. The removal of the 40-acre Archery Range Property from the Preserve; and,
2. The reconfiguration of the Preserve boundary with Gateway Park which adds 7
acres to the Preserve.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Management of the Malaga Canyon Property
As noted earlier, the Council agreed to enroll the recently City acquired 58-acre Malaga
Canyon open space property into the City's Palos Verdes Nature Preserve at the April 1st
meeting. However, because the PVPLC highlighted the importance of having a
conservation easement recorded over the property prior to the lands being enrolled in the
Preserve and commencing management, the attached Exhibit is not being modified to
include Malaga Canyon at this time. Discussions continue between the City and the
PVPLC on the final wording of the conservation easement. Once there is an agreement on
the final conservation easement language it will be brought to the City Council for approval.
At that time, Exhibit A to the Management Agreement will be updated to include the
Malaga Canyon Property. Staff anticipates this being completed within the next few
months.
Clarification of Trail Maintenance Responsibilities
At the April 1st meeting, Councilman Knight suggested that the trail maintenance section of
the Management Agreement be clarified. Staff intends to make this clarification to the
Management Agreement at the time the Council is asked to amend the PUMP's Preserve
Trails Plan (PTP) to include the Malaga Canyon property.
FISCAL IMPACTS
As reported in April 1st Staff Report, Staff anticipates a small fiscal impact resulting from
the removal of the Archery Range Property from the Preserve since trail signage and
maintenance on the property would become the responsibility of the City. Staff estimates
this cost to be $500. Staff does not anticipate any fiscal impact from the reconfiguration of
the Preserve boundary with Gateway Park.
CONCLUSION
Based on the information provided herein, Staff recommends that the City Council approve
Amendment No. 1 to the RPV I PVPLC Management Agreement amending Exhibit A, Map
of the Preserve Properties Managed by the PVPLC, to reflect the removal of the Archery
Range Property from the Preserve and to add 7 acres to the Preserve resulting from the
reconfiguration of the boundary limits of Gateway Park.
