The majority favored first installing (2) speed bumps spaced 300 to 400 feet apart, with installation of Stop signs at the intersection of Dana Mesa Drive and Deadwood Drive needed. Mayor Gelff did not support installation of speed bumps, but felt that stop signs could be effective in slowing traffic. City Council Minutes 6 1-21-03 • • 1/21/2003 AGENDA ITEM H 1 a TO: George Scarborough, City Manager FROM: Mechelle Lawrence, Economic Development Manager SUBJECT: Consideration of a Proposed Stage Design at HistoricTown Center Park and License Agreement. RECOMMENDATION By motion: 1) Approve the proposed concept alternative for a stage at Historic Town Center Park; and, 2) Approve the construction license agreement and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City; and, 3) Direct the construction of proposed alternative concept without further review. A. Summary and Recommendation During 2002, Councilmember Bathgate expressed an interest in constructing a permanent stage at Historic Town Center Park(HTC Park). In response to Councilmember Bathgate's interest, the City received a generous offer (approximately $100,000 -$120,000 in value) from an anonymous donor to fund a stage. Additionally, long-time San Juan Capistrano resident and landscape architect, Mr. Michael Imlay, volunteered his professional services "free of charge" to create the design concept. These donations make a significant difference in realizing the construction of an actual, permanent stage because funding is not currently, nor planned to be, allocated in the City's Capital Improvement Budget. Without the generosity of the donor or Mr. Imlay, the project would most likely not occur for many years. With significant funding and design services available, a concept was developed and presented to the Cultural Heritage Commission, Parks, Recreation and Equestrian Commission, Design Review Committee, and Planning Commission during 2002. That original concept proposed a 90'long backdrop"wall"positioned above a 30"raised surface to create the elevation and separation desired. However,the City's commissions identified concerns regarding the project's proposed massing and its potential impact on known artifacts. As a result of these concerns, Mr. Imlay revised the project so that it removed the backdrop wall and replaced it with a 30' long flat, open area centered by two trellises. This new concept would require the City or organizations to rent canopies or tents to create the backdrop and screening needed. FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA. CC Agenda Item -2- January 21, 2003 The donor was disappointed that the concept had been reduced to a landscape feature centered by two trellises. (That design is provided as an Attachment 1 to this report and is not recommended for approval). Due to the donor's lack of interest in this design, Mr. Imlay developed a second alternative concept (Attachment 2)that would be supported by the donor and also address the issues identified by the commissions. That concept (Attachment 2) is recommended for the City Council's approval. Staff is also recommending that the City Council approve the proposed construction license agreement authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City, allowing the construction of the stage and direct the construction of Alternative 2 without further review. Staff notes that approval of the stage concept and license agreement this evening will allow the project to proceed with construction, which is anticipated to be completed in time for the San Juan Summer Nites Concert series this summer. B. Background 1. General Plan Designation: Specialty Park. 2. Zoning Designation: Community Park. 3. Environmental Processing: The construction of a stage is not a project under the definition of CEQA; however, issues related to cultural resources will be managed in accordance with CEQA and with City Council Policy#601 regarding resource management and protection. 4. Community Redevelopment Agency: This project is located within the Community Redevelopment ProjectArea; however,Agency funds will not be used for this project. 5. Prior Entitlements: None. 6. Commission/Board Review and Recommendations: Cultural Heritage Commission: On March 26, 2002 the Cultural Heritage Commission reviewed the original plan that proposed a raised stage area and 90' long solid back drop wall. The Commission reviewed the item and forwarded a recommendation of approval, commenting that: 1)the wing walls should be deleted in favor of non-permanent structure to allow for future sub-surface artifact studies, 2) no sub-surface digging (below the natural soil surface should occur), 3)the doors that were proposed in the 90' long wall should use the river style wood feature as found at the Mission, 4) the precise location of the stage should extend to the eastern edge of the park as much as possible to prevent possible disturbance to potential artifacts, 5)the approval of the project should not preclude the City's ability to retain the right to study and perform future excavations. CC Agenda Item -3- January 21, 2003 Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee met on three occasions. At their March 20, 2002 meeting the DRC requested that a band shell concept be considered by the designer. At their April 9, 2002 meeting, the DRC expressed concern regarding the permanence of the stage and the possible need to relocate it at a future date. It was then suggested that an alternative plan be developed to incorporate a"garden-style"trellis feature in lieu of solid walls leaving an open stage area (free of any permanent back drop feature). It was thought that an open area would allow organizers to place temporary backdrops,tents, or canopies as needed for each event. The item was continued in order to develop a new alternative. The DRC reviewed that new concept (Attachment 1) on April 17, 2002 and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Planning Commission. Parks. Recreation, and Equestrian Commission: On April 15, 2002 the Parks, Recreation, and Equestrian Commission considered the original concept proposing a 90' long back drop wall. The Commission recommended that the design be revised to delete the wall. The Commission also suggested that pedestrian linkages or walkways be incorporated where possible. Planning Commission: On April 23, 2002 the Planning Commission reviewed both the original concept and the alternative (Attachment 1) and forwarded a recommendation to the City Council of approval of the trellis-style alternative concept. A. Project Description: There are currently two designs for a stage at Historic Town Center Park. They include a trellis alternative(Attachment 1)and the recommended design that incorporates a 30'long back drop wal I(Alternative 2). Both concepts require the approval of a license agreement, which is described below later in this report. Trellis Concept(Attachment 11: The trellis concept evolved as a result of undergoing the development review process and attempting to address concerns expressed by the various commissions. One of the constraints in designing and constructing a stage at the park is that it requires taking into consideration the needs of the many events, ensuring that the design is sensitive to the site's archaeology, and attempting to develop something that works effectively within an already developed site. With a great deal of effort, Mr. Imlay was able to conceive a design that proposed the following: Resting on top of a raised flat area that would serve as the staging area would be two 10' high rustic trellises that have flowering vines and landscaping. (The open area was proposed to be where the bands and speakers would be placed). The raised flat area would be supported by a 30" high rustic stone wall retaining a decomposed granite stage area with gentle slopes on either side to serve as access ramps. The ramps, comprised of decomposed granite, would create improved CC Agenda Item 4- January 21, 2003 loading and unloading of equipment and simultaneously meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for access. - The stone wall would comprise natural colors similar to those used for the Mendelson monument already situated at the park. - The "support columns" of the trellises would be built to allow for the attachment of "backdrop" materials for decorative and sound purposes. - Aside from the"support columns"the trellises the stage would not feature any solid wall or backdrop shell. - Accent lighting would be installed to "up light" the stage's architectural features. - In accordance with City Council Policy #601, an archeological monitor would be required during construction. - The stage area is the same place where temporary rented stages are located for the San Juan Summer Nites Concert Series (at the eastern portion of the park within the grass area).This area was selected in order to avoid known artifacts while at the same time ensuring that events remain visible to passers by on EI Camino Real. This location also ensures preservation of a meadow area for picnic goers, event patrons, and event booths. This concept was not endorsed by either Mr. Imlay or the donor. Recommended "Donor Endorsed"Design Alternative (Attachment 2): After considering the new design that evolved from the development review process (Attachment 1), the donor was concerned that the stage had become merely a raised area surrounded by trellises without any architectural statement, and a lost opportunity to create something that would be both beautiful and functional for future events. In response to these concerns, Mr. Imlay then developed a new proposal (Attachment 2)that was nearly identical except that it proposed a 30'back drop wall between the trellises. The new design is best described as: - This concept still proposes a 30" high rustic stone wall retaining a decomposed granite stage area with slopes on either side that serve as access ramps. The retaining wall would still comprise natural colors seen in the Mendelson monument situated at the park. Two 10' high rustic trellises with rustic peeler logs would still be proposed to have flowering vines and landscaping. Between the trellises instead of just an open area as proposed above would be a 30' long stage "shell" - 18' in maximum height tapered to 15' in height. The stage shell would use similar architectural details as found on the old Mendelson Inn and currently at the entrance to the Mission. Those CC Agenda Item -5- January 21, 2003 details include a terra cotta vent, simple rustic lighting for architectural accent, and smooth stucco in natural earthen tones , accented by aged brick at the base. - In accordance with City Council Policy #601, an archeological monitor would be required during construction. - The stage will be placed where temporary rented stages are typically located for the San Juan Summer Nites Concert Series (at the eastern portion of the park within the grass area). This area was selected in order to avoid known artifacts while at the same time ensuring that events remain visible to passers by on EI Camino Real. This location also ensures preservation of a meadow area for picnic goers, event patrons, and event booths. This concept is endorsed and supported by both the donor and Mr. Imlay due to its ability to both address the City's commissions' concerns and to provide a positive, architectural accent to the area. Therefore, staff is recommending approval of this design. The Proposed License Agreement: The second aspect of the project description includes the Council's approval of a license agreement to allow the construction of the stage facility on public property. A license agreement is necessary because it allows the City to proceed with construction without having to incur the costs associated with the work. This approach allows the limited construction dollars to be stretched because the donor and Mr. Imlay are able to use their many business contacts to contribute toward the project allowing a cost effective and high quality project. Until the completion of construction the stage will remain in the donor's ownership and at that time, the stage will then be officially donated to the City and accepted as a City facility. At that time, a memorandum of understanding (MOU)will need to be approved by the City Council to outline the stage's provisions for use and maintenance. This use of a license agreement and MOU are routine items since the City occasionally enters into license agreements in order to allow for privately owned facilities, that provide a public benefit, to be built on public property. The license agreement is on file with the City Clerk's office. D. Issues: Stage: Issues related to the early plan's design in terms of its proposed size, massing, and potential impact to cultural resources were raised by all of the commissions (addressed earlier under Commission Review Section of this report). Each issue that was of concern to the commission was addressed through the development of the two alternative designs proposed this evening. Remaining at issue is whether the City Council supports the alternative, donor endorsed concept (Attachment 2) and license agreement allowing the project to proceed with construction. CC Agenda Item -6- January 21, 2003 E. Staff Analysis: The following is a summary of the various commissions' issues identified during the review of the early concept and staff's approach to addressing those concerns. * Cultural Heritage Commission's Concern Regarding Cultural Resources. To ensure that the construction of the stage enhances the historic integrity of the area, all concepts were carefully designed with this sensitivity in mind. For example, instead of requiring excavation of the site to support the structure, a berm-like structure building upon the existing grade (by adding more dirt to create the necessary elevation) is proposed. Since the Commission was concerned about stage potentially impacting archeological resources it is believed that this approach best minimizes the potential for disturbing resources. However because the information regarding artifacts in this area is not precise, an archeological monitorwill also monitorthe construction process. (Staff notesthatduring the soils testing process, which involved borings taken at 3' deep in the same locations as where the stage is proposed, no artifacts were discovered). Furthermore, there may be a need to trench in limited locations, and staff notes that this routinely occurs in the downtown under the assistance and supervision of archaeological professionals. In response to considering the original design that proposed the 90' long backdrop wall, the Cultural Heritage Commission recommended that a "more open" design be pursued. This was recommended in order to allow as much of the area to remain available for future resource survey work. The design that then emerged from those concerns proposed deleting the entire backdrop wall. However,that approach was not supported by the donor because of his concerns regarding both the aesthetics and functional aspects to a backdrop feature. Staff also concurred that the removal of the entire wall or backdrop was less functional since there would be no separation for performers and audience. For that reason,that concept is not recommended for the City Council's approval. Instead,the new alternative design (Attachment 2) which reduces the massing by more than 60' is recommended. • Parks, Recreation, & Equestrian Commission's Concern Regarding Security. The Parks, Recreation,and Equestrian Commission raised concerns about security issues related to having a 90' long back drop wall in the Park. The Commission recommended that the final design, at most, retain only the 30'center portion backdrop. The Commission also suggested a design that utilized a more open, trellis design. These concerns, coupled with the direction provided by the Cultural Heritage Commission, are addressed best by the final proposed design (Attachment 2). The Commission also directed that staff consider the opportunities for coordinating pedestrian walkways. However, the need to ensure that the use and set up of the park remains as flexible as possible results in staff recommending that the subject of linkages is believed to be adequately addressed sloping ramps are incorporated into the proposed design. CC Agenda Item -7- January 21, 2003 • Design Review Committee's Request for an Alternative Design. On three occasions the Design Review Committee met regarding the proposal. At the March 20, 2002 meeting the DRC requested that staff and the designer evaluate the opportunities for creating a bandshell concept instead of the 90'long backdrop wall design. On April 9th the project was reviewed again by the DRC and several members expressed concern regarding the permanence of the stage. It was suggested that a garden-like design be developed. On April 17, 2002 Alternative 1/Trellis Style concept(Attachment 1) was endorsed by the DRC. However that design has since been refined to include a 30' long back drop wall (Attachment 2). It is recommended that in order to move the project forward, that the City Council determine that the proposed design is consistent with the architectural quality and integrity demanded for public projects and that the design satisfies the intent of the commissions' concerns. * Planning Commission Concerns. The Planning Commission reviewed plans on April 23, 2002 and endorsed the trellis style concept(Attachment 1). At that time, it was suggested that working drawings with design details be brought back before the DRC for consideration prior to the project's construction. However, due to the quality the new alternative (Attachment 2) along with the availability of funding and free design services, it is recommended that the Council determine that the proposed project is consistent with the architectural quality and integrity demanded for public projects and that the design satisfies the intent of the commissions' concerns. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council, by motion: 1) Approve the proposed concept (Alternative 2) for a stage at Historic Town Center Park. and, 2) Approve the construction license agreement and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement on behalf of the City: and, 3) Direct the construction ofAltemative 2 without furtherconsideration. approve the new design project (Attachment 2) and direct its construction. H. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: A donor has approached the City with an offer to fund the project. The donation is anticipated to be from $100,000 -$120,000. Long time resident and landscape architect, Mr. Michael Imlay, has donated his expertise and time to create the concepts presented this evening. With the exception of staff processing time, actual costs associated with the project are minimal. I.

RECOMMENDATION By motion: 1) Approve the proposed concept design for a stage at Historic Town Center Park, subject to conditions, and, 2) Approve the construction license agreement and authorize the Mayorto execute the agreement on behalf of the City. A. Summary and Recommendation The Mayor expressed an interest in having a permanent stage constructed at Historic Town Center Park because it has become a successful location for hosting community events. To facilitate these events many improvements have already been made to the Park, including the installation of turf, fencing, monumentation, electricity, signage, and a walkway. However, because there is no stage at the park, organizations must rent one. Over time, these rentals represent significant costs to the non-profits that conduct regular annual events at the Park. Additionally, the lack of a permanent stage precludes other community organizations from even considering holding events at the Park due to the high rental costs involved. The City then received a generous offer from Gary Campbell to donate the construction of a permanent stage in his wife's name, Collene Thompson Campbell. He wanted to find a way to help the City and at the same time celebrate Collene's many contributions to the community. The costs for designing and constructing a stage could reach as high as $100,000. Funding for a stage was not allocated in the City's Capital Improvement Budget and most likely would not have occurred for several years depending on funding availability. In moving forward with a design, long time San Juan Capistrano resident, Michael Imlay,who is also a landscape architect, approached the City with a generous offer to design an attractive and workable concept. FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA:` Agenda Item -2- May 21, 2002 With funding available, a concept was developed by Mr. Imlay in consultation with the Mayor, staff, and Mr. Campbell. That concept was then presented to the Cultural Heritage Commission, Parks, Recreation and Equestrian Commission, Design Review Committee, and Planning Commission. The commissions identified important issues that were ultimately incorporated into the final concept that is recommended for the City Council's approval this evening. Staff recommends that the City Council: 1)Approve the proposed design concept for the Historic Town Center Park stage project, subject to conditions and 2) Approve the proposed construction license agreement and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement on behalf of the City, allowing Gary Campbell to construct the stage. Approval of the stage concept and license agreement will allow the project to proceed with construction, which is anticipated to be completed in time for the final San Juan Summer Nites Concert in September. B. Background 1. General Plan Designation: Specialty Park. 2. Zoning Designation: Tourist Commercial (CT). 3. Environmental Processing: The construction of a stage is not a project under the definition of CEQA; however, issues related to cultural resources will be managed in accordance with CEQA and with City Council Policy#601 regarding requirements for resource management and protection. 4. Community Redevelopment Agency:This project is located within the Community Redevelopment Project Area; however, Agency funds will not be used for this project. 5. Prior Entitlements: None. 6. Commission/Board Review and Recommendations: Cultural Heritage Commission: The Commission reviewed the original plan calling for a stage with a 90' long solid back drop wall on March 26, 2002. The Commission reviewed the item and forwarded a recommendation of approval,with the following comments: 1) the wing walls should be deleted in favor of non- permanent structure to allow for future sub-surface artifact studies, 2) no sub- surface digging (below the natural soil surface should occur), 3) the doors should use the river style wood feature as found at the Mission, 4) the precise location of the stage should extend to the edge of the park as much as possible to prevent Agenda Item -3- May 21, 2002 possible disturbance to potential artifacts, 5)the approval of the project should not preclude the City's ability to retain the right to study and perform future excavations. Design Review Committee:The Design Review Committee met on three occasions to review the proposal. At the March 20,2002 meeting the DRC requested that staff and the designer evaluate the opportunities for a bandshell concept instead of the proposed design, which called for 90' long solid back drop wall feature. The design team then returned to the April 9, 2002 meeting. During that time, the DRC expressed concern regarding the permanence of the stage and the possible need to relocate it at a future date. It was then requested that an alternative plan be developed that would incorporate a garden style feature without the solid walls thereby leaving the stage area completely free from any permanent solid wall back drop feature. It was thought that this approach could allow the incorporation of tents, backdrops, or canopies to meet the specific needs of each user. It was also thought that this alternative approach would provide the most flexibility.The meeting was continued to allow for additional time to be spent on developing an alternative concept that would respond to the DRC's concerns. The DRC reviewed the alternative plan on April 17, 2002 and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Planning Commission. Parks. Recreation. and Equestrian Commission: On April 15, 2002 the Parks, Recreation,and Equestrian Commission considered the original proposal that called for a 90' long solid back drop wall feature and recommended that: the proposed concept be approved subject to the removal of the wing walls (leaving the center portion as a backdrop for events) and that pedestrian linkages or walkways be incorporated where possible from the stage. Planning Commission: On April 23, 2002 the Planning Commission reviewed both the original concept and the alternative plan and forwarded a recommendation to the City Council of approval of the alternative plan. C. Project Description: 1. Proposed Design Concept The process of designing a stage for the Historic Town Center Park requires considering the needs of the events and at the same time ensuring the design is sensitive to the site's history and archaeology.What has been developed has taken these items in consideration. The proposed concept for approval is as follows: A 30" high rustic stone wall retaining a decomposed granite stage area with slopes on either side that serve as access ramps. The stone rock wall will Agenda Item -4- May 21, 2002 be in natural colors similar to the colors seen in the Mendelson monument already situated at the park. On top of the raised area there will be two 10' high rustic trellises that will have flowering vines and landscaping. The two 10' high rustic trellises will be placed on either side of a 30' long open area. The open area will be where bands and speakers will be staged. The support columns of the trellises will be designed to allow for the attachment of backdrop materials for both decorative and sound attenuation as needed or wanted. Aside from the columns there will be no permanent solid walls as part of this design, thereby allowing for as much flexibility as possible. Accent lighting may be installed at a later time for up lighting of the architectural features. Ramps comprised of decomposed granite are situated on either side of the stage and will create easier and safer loading and unloading for equipment and people. The ramping on either side also meets the requirements of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) for access requirements. • In accordance with City Policy 601, an archeological monitor will be required during the construction phase of the project. • The stage area is proposed to be placed where temporary rented stages are typically located for the San Juan Summer Nites Concert Series (at the eastern portion of the park within the grass area). This area was selected in order to avoid artifacts while at the same time ensuring that events remain visible to passers by on EI Camino Real. This location also preserves a wide meadow area for picnic goers, event patrons, and booths. 2. Proposed License Agreement: The second part of this project includes the proposed license agreement which allows the construction of the facility on public property. The stage will, for some time, remain in ownership by Gary Campbell until such time that it is officially donated. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) will need to be developed to outline the provisions for use and maintenance of the facility. The City routinely enters into license agreements. Agenda Item -5- May 21, 2002 M Issues: There were three areas where issues were raised: 1) Stage: Issues related to the project's size, massing, security, and protection of cultural resources were raised by all of the commissions (addressed under Commission Review Section of this Agenda Item). Each issue was addressed through the development of an alternative plan. What follows is a synopsis of how each Commission's concern was addressed. 2) Conditions of Approval for the Project: Staff is recommending that certain conditions of approval apply to the construction of the stage projectto ensure issues raised during the development review process are addressed. 3) Construction License Agreement: The only issue is the need for a memorandum of understanding to be entered into at a later date between Gary Campbell and the City. Slaff Analysis: 1) Stage: Cultural Heritage Commission's Concern Regarding the Protection of Resources. To ensure that the construction of the stage enhances the historic integrity of the area, the design was carefully developed and considered. Instead of requiring excavation of the site, a berm-like structure is recommended to create the needed raised surface. Additionally, the landscape architect is investigating alternative construction approaches that will avoid any impact to artifacts. The Commission was concerned about the location impacting known resources. As a result the project will be placed as far east as possible. An archeological monitor will be required to be in place in accordance with City Council Policy#601 to oversee the construction process. The Cultural Heritage Commission also recommended that an open trellis design be pursued in order to allow as much of the area to remain available for future resource survey work. The recommended alternative has no solid backdrop walls and provides much more available surface area for possible future survey work. Agenda Item -6- May 21, 2002 Parks, Recreation, & Equestrian Commission's Concern Regarding Park Security. The Parks, Recreation, and Equestrian Commission raised concerns about security and a 90' solid back drop wall design. The issues were whether the City would be able to ensure that the wall design was not an attractive place for graffiti and other possible illegal or illicit behavior. The Commission recommended that the final design, at most, retain only the 30' center portion backdrop, and delete the two proposed 30' wing walls. The Commission urged a design that utilized a more transparent trellis approach. These concerns, coupled with the direction provided by the Cultural Heritage Commission, were addressed through the alternative design. The Commission also directed that the project consider the opportunities for coordinating pedestrian walkways from the stage to existing walkways. During the development of construction details,the design team will incorporate a link from the stage to any existing walkways, as is possible. As other amenities are added to the park, staff can consider additional linkages. A condition of approval to require that staff investigate and develop, where possible, pedestrian linkages is included as a condition of the City Council's approval. Design Review Committee's Request for an Alternative Design. On three occasions the Design Review Committee met regarding the proposal. At the March 20,2002 meeting the DRC requested that staff and the designer evaluate the opportunities for a bandshell concept instead of the proposed design. As mentioned, the design team and staff returned to the April 9th meeting with additional information. During the April 9, 2002 meeting, several members of the DRC expressed concern regarding the permanence of the stage and suggested that the designers consider providing a second alternative that would incorporate a garden style feature (sans the solid walls). The DRC requested that the design team return on April 17, 2002 to consider this alternative approach. The revised plan was presented and received endorsement by the Committee. Planning Commission Concerns for Details to be Further Considered. The Planning Commission reviewed the plans on April 23, 2002 and endorsed the overall concept. Staff suggested that working drawings with design details be brought back before the DRC for consideration prior to construction. 2) Conditions of Approval for the Stage Project: Staff is recommending that the following conditions apply to the construction of this project: Agenda Item -7- May 21, 2002 a) Digging associated with the construction of the project shall avoid penetrating below the natural soil line as much as possible and only be carried out if alternative approaches have been considered and archaeological monitoring is in place. b) The precise location of the stage should extend to the edge of the Park as much as is functionally possible in order to avoid artifacts. C) Linkages between pedestrian walkways shall be coordinated where possible. 3) Construction License Agreement: Because the stage will technically be under the ownership of Gary Campbell during the construction process, and anticipated to be donated to the City at a future date, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) will need to be developed to ensure that issues regarding facility usage and maintenance are communicated. The memorandum of understanding will be developed and returned to the City Council in the next several months following approval of the project this evening. There are no other issues related to the proposed license agreement, and it is recommended thatthe City Council approve the license agreement and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Donor Gary Campbell has approached the City with an offer to fund the project. Volunteer professionals have donated their design expertise to yield the concept presented this evening. With the exception of staff processing time, actual costs associated with the project are minimal. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: *Blas Aguilar Adobe *Chamber of Commerce ALTERNATE ACTIONS 1.
