Mr. Montes provided a verbal report. He stated due to pending litigation
between the City and the District challenging the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) document, that prior to consideration of the stockpile
permit, the Council should get an express stipulation from a representative
of the District, preferably District's Counsel, that the issuance of the permit
will not be used in the underlying matter against the City to prejudice any

of the arguments that the City is making in that case. He stated there is a
section in the Public Resources Code, Section 21167.3(b) that requires
that a responsible agency, in this case the City, make an assumption that
the underlying environmental impact report complies with the provisions of
CEQA, which at this point, the City is arguing it does not, so we want an
understanding that approval of the permit does not prejudice the City's
right to continue to argue non - compliance with CEQA.
Stan Brankiewicz, legal counsel for the District, introduced the District's
Civil Engineer, Mark Kohler, Environmental Consultant, Duane Vander
Pluym from Rincon Consultants, and John Sinutko, Director of
Facilities /Maintenance and Operations. Mr. Brankiewicz provided exhibits
showing the stockpile plan, overhead view of the site, and plan elevations.
He stated that he is authorized by the District to stipulate that with the
approval of the grading and stockpile permit that the District will not use
the approval against the City in the pending CEQA action.
Mr. Montes examined the exhibits and asked the applicant to confirm the
stockpile permit is for approximately 6,266 cubic yards of soil to a height of
10 -feet with a 2 -1 maximum slope.
Mr. Kohler, confirmed the permit is for 6,200 some odd cubic yards of soil,
10 -feet maximum in height and with a 2 -1 maximum slope.
MOTION: Councilmember Mikos moved to direct staff to issue a grading and
stockpile permit to the Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD)
including a stockpile of 6,266 cubic yards of soil at a height of 10 -feet with a 2 -1

remaining details of the permit and being reliant on VCCCD's representative's
stipulation that the issuance of the permit would not be used by VCCCD against
the City of Moorpark in the underlying action.
