Consideration of an Amendment to the Memorandum of
Understanding with the Bias Aguilar Adobe Foundation for the Bias
Aguilar Adobe Nature Education Facility Grant Project (CIP 07403)
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to
the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of San Juan Capistrano and the
Bias Aguilar Adobe Foundation for the Bias Aguilar Adobe Nature Education Facility
Grant Project, to extend the expiration date from June 30, 2016, to June 30, 2017(CIP
07403).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In May 2011, the State of California awarded the City a $498,434 Nature Education
Facility (NEF) Grant for repairs to the Bias Aguilar Adobe building, which have been
completed, and for certain site improvements, which will be completed later this year.
The Bias Aguilar Adobe Foundation offered to provide volunteer services for some of
the site improvements, and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was entered into
between the Foundation and the City for these volunteer services. The MOU has
expired and needs to be extended. Staff recommends that the City Council extend the
MOU through June 30, 2017. The proposed amendment is included as Attachment 1.
The City Council approved a contract for construction of site improvements on
September 6, 2016, and construction will commence in October. The volunteer work by
the Foundation will be coordinated with the other site improvement work. In order to
ensure adequate time to complete the improvements, it is recommended that the MOU
be extended through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT :
There are no fiscal impacts by extending the expiration date of the MOU to June 30,
2017.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The City has complied with all applicable provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), and on May 15, 2012, the City Council adopted a Mitigated
Negative Declaration and approved a Mitigation Monitoring & Reporting Program for the
project. However, this action of extending the MOU is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of CEQA
Guidelines because the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378 of the
CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, and the action
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or
indirectly.
