MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Brian Chong, Assistant to the City Manager
DATE: 6/20/2018 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution Approving Phase 2 of the Moorpark North-
East Open Space Property Purchase Project, Located in the Vicinity
of Moorpark College, Including a Budget Amendment for $1,615,720;
a Purchase and Sale Agreement for 129.81 Acres of Open Space
from Waste Management, Inc., a Surface Waiver Agreement with the
California Resources Production Corporation, Inc. to Pre-identify
Two Oil Drilling Islands on the Site, and Finding That These Actions
Are Exempt from the Provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act
SUMMARY
Waste Management currently owns approximately 255 acres of open space east of
Moorpark College, within the Moorpark City limits. On October 18, 2017, the City
Council directed staff to purchase 125 acres of the open space using grant funding from
the County of Ventura (subsequently approved by the City Council on June 6, 2018)
and to enter negotiations with Waste Management to purchase the approximately 130
acres of the remaining open space within the City. On December 6, 2017, the City and
Waste Management entered into a Memorandum of Understanding that established a
price of $12,000 per acre and provided for the donation of one acre at no cost to the
City.
The City has now completed environmental due diligence on the property, and staff is
seeking City Council approval to acquire the remaining 129.81 acres, at an acquisition
cost of $1,545,720, which includes the one acre dedication by Waste Management.
Staff is also seeking appropriation of $70,000 to fund the additional acquisition costs
associated with the project, such as escrow, legal, and civil engineering fees. Like the
prior 125-acre purchase, the sales agreement consists of a Purchase and Sale
Agreement with Waste Management and a Surface Waiver Agreement with the
Item: 9.H.

California Resources Production Corporation (CRC), which has existing oil drilling rights
on the property.
BACKGROUND
Waste Management owns approximately 255 acres of open space within the City limits,
located east of Moorpark College. The City’s Moorpark North-East Open Space
Property Purchase Project consists of acquiring this property to protect it as permanent
open space and provide passive recreational uses, such as hiking trails, on the property
and to enable a connection to the adjacent trail system operated by the Rancho Simi
Recreation and Park District.
On June 6, 2018, the City Council gave its final approval to purchase 125 acres of the
open space at a cost of $1,500,000, using grant funding provided to the City by the
County of Ventura. The City is currently proceeding through the escrow process on that
property at this time.
Above: Previously-Approved 125-Acre Purchase Area (bordered in yellow)
On October 18, 2017, the City Council directed staff to enter negotiations with Waste
Management on its remaining property within the City limits. On December 6, 2017, the
City and Waste Management entered into a Memorandum of Understanding that
established a price of $12,000 per acre (the same price paid for the 125-acre purchase)
and provided for the donation of one acre at no cost to the City.

To proceed most efficiently with the comprehensive project, staff completed the
surveying and environmental studies on the full 255 acres of Waste Management’s
holdings at the time the initial 125-acre purchase was being pursued. The Purchase
and Sale Agreement for the remaining acquisition is also based on the Purchase and
Sale Agreement for the 125-acre purchase as well. The location of the currently
proposed 129.81-acre acquisition is shown below:
Below: Currently Proposed 129.81-Acre Purchase Area (bordered in yellow)
DISCUSSION
The attached Purchase and Sale Agreement (Attachment 2) contains the following:
• Escrow Instructions: The Agreement includes escrow instructions for the real
estate transaction, including a purchase price of $1,545,720.
• Reservation of Mineral Rights by Waste Management: Waste Management
reserves its ownership of mineral rights on the property, including the existing
oilfield lease over the property.
• Oilfield Operator Maintains Environmental Liability for Oilfield Activities:
The California Resources Production Corporation currently has rights to operate
674
Honorable City Council
6/20/2018 Regular Meeting
Page 4
an oilfield on the site, which contains eight active oil wells and two reserved
future drill sites. CRC will maintain environmental liability for oilfield-related
environmental damage.
• Limitation on Construction of Apparatus Visible from 118 Freeway:
Permanent drilling apparatus in connection with mineral rights extraction shall not
be visible from the 118 Freeway. During construction of such drilling apparatus,
however, construction equipment (such as a crane) may be temporarily visible
from the 118 Freeway during construction.
• Future Use Restrictions on Property: Waste Management wants to maintain a
buffer distance from such development and its Simi Valley Landfill and Recycling
Center. As such, residential uses and “sensitive receptors,” as defined by the
Ventura County Air Quality Assessment Guidelines (such as schools, hospitals,
and day care centers), are prohibited. A Visitor’s Center, however, is specifically
allowed on the property, should the City desire to construct one in the future.
Fracking
At the June 6, 2018 City Council meeting regarding the Purchase and Sale Agreement
for the 125-acre purchase area, the City Council directed staff to ask CRC if they would
voluntarily accept a prohibition on fracking on the full purchase area that the City is in
the process of acquiring, while recognizing that the City does not have regulatory
authority to compel such a prohibition. While CRC declined to insert such a prohibition
into the Surface Waiver Agreement, CRC staff did advise that they have no intent of
ever fracking on the site, that the local geology is not conducive to fracking, and that
there would be significant state regulatory hurdles for them to ever engage in fracking
on the site.
Future Oilfield Activity
On April 27, 1948, the County of Ventura issued Special Use Permit (SUP) No. 23 to
the Union Oil Company to operate an oilfield over the subject site, as well as adjacent
areas located in portions of the City of Simi Valley and unincorporated Ventura County.
Special Use Permit No. 23 will expire on October 29, 2033. The SUP authorizes CRC,
the successor to the Union Oil Company, to undertake oil and gas exploration and
extraction anywhere within the 255 acres comprising the Moorpark North-East Open
Space Property Purchase Project, with the SUP serving as the discretionary land use
decision for the oilfield. While land use authority for the site transferred from the County
to the City when the City incorporated, the City can only require ministerial permits
(such as building permits) from the City’s Community Development Department for new
wells during the term of SUP No. 23. Oilfield operations beyond that date would require
City approval of a modification to that permit, or approval of a new Conditional Use
Permit. Both are quasi-judicial actions by the City Council. It should be noted that the
675
Honorable City Council
6/20/2018 Regular Meeting
Page 5
County’s conservation easement would also not apply to CRC’s current SUP No. 23
rights, because CRC’s rights from the County SUP predate the conservation easement.
Because of the potential conflict between CRC’s rights to construct oilfield apparatus
anywhere on the site and the City’s open space preservation and recreational trail
system goals, staff and representatives from CRC met to discuss how the two uses can
develop cooperatively. The discussions were very productive, as neither the City nor
CRC wants a recreational trail and an oilfield drill site to be located next to each other.
The result of the discussions is a “Surface Waiver Agreement” between the City and the
CRC, which is provided as Exhibit D to the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
Under the Surface Waiver Agreement, CRC agrees to reduce its rights to build new drill
islands from the entirety of the 255 acres within the City to just the current sites and two
future pre-set drill islands within the current purchase area (shown below). None of the
sites are visible from the 118 Freeway. With certainty as to where future drill sites may
be located, surety exists that the City can then design and construct a recreational trail
system across the property without conflict that a drill site will be built right next to a trail.
Above: Current Drill Sites (yellow), Future Three-Acre Drill Sites (Pads A and B), and
Access and Utility Easements (Blue)
676
Honorable City Council
6/20/2018 Regular Meeting
Page 6
The Surface Waiver Agreement also requires an access and utility easement to be
granted to CRC to its current and future drill sites. The Agreement also contains a
clause allowing the City and mineral rights owner (and, by extension, CRC) to relocate
the existing or future access and utility easements by mutual consent. Thus, there is a
mechanism to relocate current dirt roads on the site, if needed to construct the City’s
desired trail system. Finally, as part of the Surface Waiver Agreement, CRC will
maintain liability for any environmental damage caused by its oilfield activities.
Environmental Due Diligence
The City has completed civil engineering work and multiple environmental studies on
the entirety of the 255 acres of Waste Management-owned open space within the City
limits, including the area currently being considered for purchase. A Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment, a Geophysical Survey to locate oilfield-related
infrastructure, and a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment were completed by the
City to comply with the All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI) standard under the federal
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)
and the state’s Carpenter-Presley-Tanner Hazardous Substance Account Act.
The environmental studies found levels of contamination expected from historical oilfield
activities stemming from eight active oil wells and related infrastructure, including
inactive wells, pipelines, and access roads that were historically sprayed with oil for dust
suppression. The City’s environmental consultant concluded that the current conditions
at the site, combined with the City’s planned future use, do not pose a threat to the
public. Trails would not be built adjacent to existing and future oil wells, so there would
not be a threat posed from that interface. The contaminated soil caused by the old
roads is essentially encapsulated beneath pavement. If a trail is constructed over an
area of degraded pavement, repaving those areas would prevent the public from
coming into contact with contaminated soil.
As mentioned above, CRC will retain responsibility for the oilfield-related environmental
contamination and remediation of the site pursuant to the proposed Surface Waiver
Agreement (Attachment 4) between the City and CRC. Execution of the Agreement is
required as a condition of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
CEQA
The Community Development Director has reviewed the recommended City Council
actions proposed in this report and determined that they are categorically exempt from
the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Director has
concluded that approval of the property acquisition for open space purchases, including
approval of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Surface Waiver Agreement, is
exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15317 of the CEQA Guidelines, which
677
Honorable City Council
6/20/2018 Regular Meeting
Page 7
specifically exempts the acceptance of fee interests or easements in land in order to
maintain the open space character of the area. The Director has further concluded that
the proposed project is also exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15325, which
exempts the acquisition of land to preserve open space and specifically includes the
acquisition of land for park purposes. This conclusion is consistent with the City
Council’s past finding that the prior 125-acre acquisition was exempt from CEQA.
Furthermore there is no substantial evidence that the recommended City Council
actions will result in significant effects on the environment due to cumulative effects,
unusual circumstances, adverse effects on scenic resources within a state scenic
highway, or historic resources, and the site is not on any of any list of hazardous waste
sites compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. Accordingly, no
further environmental documentation is needed.
Ongoing Maintenance
Based on the maintenance costs incurred by the City for other open space holdings,
staff estimates ongoing annual maintenance costs of $11,000 per year for this property
to complete brush clearance as required by the Fire Code, which would be performed
by the City’s weed abatement contractor. When a trail system or other improvements
are developed, annual maintenance costs will increase accordingly. Staff will
incorporate funding for ongoing maintenance during the City’s Mid-Year Budget
process, with a proration of the $11,000 annual costs, dependent on when the City
completes acquisition of the property.
Funding Source
The City has received, among other things, $3,717,026 in environmental mitigation fees
from Tract Map No. 5463, which is known as “The Masters” neighborhood being built by
Toll Brothers. According to the project’s Development Agreement, these funds are to
be used by the City “for open space preservation purposes.” Staff recommends that
these funds, currently in the City’s Endowment Fund, be used to complete the currently-
proposed acquisition. The attached Resolution (Attachment 1) would allocate these
funds.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the open space acquisition will cost $1,545,720, to be taken from the Tract
Map No. 5463 environmental mitigation fees that must be used only for open space
preservation purposes. An additional $70,000 appropriation is also requested for
acquisition costs, such as escrow costs and legal fees. Ongoing annual maintenance
costs of an estimated $11,000 per year will be added to the mid-year Budget, based on
the actual acquisition date.

Director’s determination that the proposed approvals of the Purchase and Sale
Agreement and the Surface Waiver Agreement are exempt from CEQA pursuant to
Section 15317 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 17 Categorical Exemption), which
specifically exempts the acceptance of fee interests or easements in land in order to

cooperation with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s due diligence review of the Property, whether by

the Buyer that may incur with respect to the Property under any environmental laws; or (H) any cause
of action or theory of any kind as a result of, in connection with or in any way related to, the
ownership and operation of the Property. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that matters shall not
be excluded from Claims based on the fact that Seller is alleged or proven to have been negligent,
actively or passively, or to be strictly or absolutely liable, except that Claims do not extend to matter
which are based on claims made by an individual or entity other than the Buyer which are determined
by final non-appealable judgment to have been solely caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller agrees that Claims shall not include (i)
any of the Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any claims for wrongful death, bodily injury
or damage to tangible personal property arising from any events or occurrences which occurred prior
to the Closing, or (iii) any claims based on Seller failing to perform or discharge its obligations under
any written contracts or agreements Seller has entered into with respect to the Property but only to
the extent such obligations accrued or arose prior to the Closing.

20.Default by Buyer.
IN THE EVENT THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED BY SELLER DUE TO A
FAILURE OF THE CLOSING TO OCCUR AS A RESULT OF A BUYER
MATERIAL DEFAULT, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE
IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE
DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF SUCH BUYER

INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH BUYER MATERIAL DEFAULT.
THEREFORE, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT A REASONABLE
ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET MONETARY DETRIMENT THAT SELLER
WILL SUFFER IN THE EVENT THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED AS A
RESULT OF A BUYER MATERIAL DEFAULT IS AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO
THE DEPOSIT, AS THEN CONSTITUTED, TOGETHER WITH ANY
INTEREST EARNED ON THE DEPOSIT. THIS AMOUNT SHALL BE THE
FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR A BUYER MATERIAL
DEFAULT RESULTING IN A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE
PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT
INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF
CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO
CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO
CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677. SELLER
HEREBY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE
SECTION 3389.

1.1 Waiver of Surface Rights. Mineral Owner permanently waives any and all rights
Mineral Owner possesses to use the surface of the Property (i.e. from the ground
surface to 500 feet below the ground surface) granted to Mineral Owner (or
Mineral Owner’s predecessor in title) by Waste Management pursuant to the
Lease or any other easements or rights granted to Mineral Owner (or Mineral
Owner’s predecessor in title) no matter how or when or from whom such rights
were obtained that may continue in force over said Property, except for and
reserving the limited surface access and use rights provided in Section 2 of this
Agreement.
1.2 Mineral Interest. Subject to Section 1.1 above, Mineral Owner specifically
reserves any and all other rights and interest it has in the Property, whether via
ownership or lease, including, but not limited to, the right to slant drill into, under,
through or across the Property from such other lands other than the Property for
the production of oil, gas, hydrocarbons, and other minerals from the Property
500 feet below the ground surface, in accordance with applicable laws.
1.3 Delivery of Documents. To give effect to the terms contained herein, the City and
Mineral Owner shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or obtain the execution,
acknowledgment, and delivery of such further documents as provided in this
Agreement.
1.4 Consent and Approval of Mineral Owner’s Operations. Without waiving any of
its governmental rights or powers, including without limitation, land use and
permit requirements, for itself and for its successors in interest, the City does
hereby expressly consent to and approve (in its proprietary capacity as a Party to
this Agreement) the exercise and enjoyment by Mineral Owner, its successors and
assigns, of its said retained mineral rights and the rights appurtenant and
incidental thereto, and the other easements and rights granted to Mineral Owner
(or Mineral Owner’s predecessor in title) by Waste Management pursuant to the
Lease or any other easements or rights granted to Mineral Owner (or Mineral
Owner’s predecessor in title) no matter how or when or from whom such rights
were obtained that may continue in force over said Property.
1.5 Confirmation of Mineral Rights. The City hereby recognizes and expressly
confirms Mineral Owner’s mineral rights pursuant to the Lease as modified
hereinabove, and nothing herein contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
be an abridgement or limitation thereof except insofar as the surface rights of
entry appurtenant and incidental thereto have been hereinabove waived, and the
City hereby agrees for itself, and its successors in interest, as a covenant running
with the Property, which covenant is hereby created, never to contest the title of
Waste Management or of Mineral Owner to said retained mineral rights, or to
D-3

749
offer any hindrance or obstruction to the exercise or enjoyment of the same by
Mineral Owner.
2. Reserved Operations Area and Access Easement.
2.1 Exclusion of Reserved Operations area. Mineral Owner and City agree that a
portion of the Property, as depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit C and
described in Exhibit C-1, attached hereto and incorporated herein (the “Reserved
Operations Area”), is excluded and reserved from this Agreement and shall
continue to be used by Mineral Owner for its present and future operations, and
will not be subject to any long-term conservation instrument recorded on the
Property. Mineral Owner shall have the right to continue to exploit, explore for,
develop, or produce minerals with wells drilled on the surface of the Reserved
Operations Area or from locations outside of the Property. Mineral Owner further
retains the right to exclude all others, including the City, from the Reserved
Operations Area for safety reasons. If the City needs access to such designated
areas, the City shall notify Mineral Owner in writing, and both shall agree on
terms for temporary access, in a safe manner, that allows for the City’s necessary
operations.
2.2 Grant of Access and Utility Easement. In addition to the appurtenant rights
already possessed by Mineral Owner in connection with its mineral rights in the
Property, the City grants to Mineral Owner a non-exclusive express easement
over, under, upon, through, and across the area depicted in Exhibit C, and
described in Exhibit C-2, attached hereto and incorporated herein (the “Access
and Utility Easement”) for the purposes of access, ingress and egress to, from and
over the Access and Utility Easement area and onto the Mineral Owner’s fee or
leasehold for private utilities consisting of such pipeline and power line purposes
as exist and may be necessary in association with Mineral Owners present or
future use and operations over Mineral Owner’s fee or leasehold. Should
inclement weather or natural phenomena render the Access and Utility Easement
impassable or should there be a need for emergency access, Mineral Owner shall
notify the City of such necessity and the Parties shall agree to a mutually
acceptable temporary access route. Additionally, should the City and Mineral
Owner deem it in the best interest of both Parties, an alternative route and
positioning of the Access and Utility Easement may be identified and utilized
should there be a mutual agreement among the Parties.
2.3 Use of Access and Utility Easement. The Access and Utility Easement shall only
be used for such private utility purposes stated above and access to and from
Mineral Owner’s fee or leasehold. Mineral Owner shall comply with all laws,
rules, and orders of all federal, state, county and local governments or agencies
that may be applicable to use of the roadway, including but not limited to, those
applicable to the transportation of hazardous materials.
2.4 Reservation of Future Drill Site Operations Areas and Easements. If the City
acquires the fee interest in the adjacent 130 Acres, the City agrees to grant to
D-4
12853-0046\2193857v1.doc
750
Mineral Owner and Mineral Owner retains the right to exclusively utilize two (2)
parcels of land (“Drill Sites”) located on the 130 Acres that shall be excluded
from any long-term conservation agreement and may, at Mineral Owner’s sole
discretion, be used as drill sites and for future operations of whatever nature with
respect to the exploration for, exploitation of mining and production, processing,
transporting and marketing of oil, gas and/or other minerals from Mineral
Owner’s fee or leasehold or in connection with the conduct of other activities
associated with the ownership of the oil, gas and mineral interests in the Property
or surrounding fee or leasehold. Drill Sites shall each be limited to three (3) acres
in size and shall be located as closely as reasonably possible surrounding the
location center points identified as “Moorpark Pad A” and “Moorpark Pad B”
on Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof. It shall be stipulated,
however, that no newly constructed Drill Site have a clear line of sight to
Highway 118 as presently situated south of the Property. The City shall inform
Mineral Owner of any contemplated non-temporary use of the Drill Sites by City
prior to such use and Mineral Owner reserves the right to reject any such use of
the Drill Sites that may materially and adversely impact Mineral Owner’s current
or future use of the location(s).
Contemporaneously, if the City acquires the fee interest in the adjacent 130 Acres,
the City agrees to grant to Mineral Owner and Mineral Owner retains the right to
a thirty foot (30’) wide non-exclusive right-of-way, pipeline and power line
perpetual easement to and from each of the two (2) Drill Sites (“Reserved
Easements”). Said Reserved Easements shall be located in the clearest,
convenient and most reasonable location as determined by Mineral Owner for
access by Mineral Owner to and from the Drill Sites, access roads and Mineral
Owner’s infrastructure and facilities. Mineral Owner shall be allowed to
temporarily exceed the size and width of the Drill Sites and Reserved Easements
only for the time periods of actual construction and drilling operations. Mineral
Owner shall be responsible for the permitting, construction and maintenance of
any improvements related to its use of each Drill Site Area and Reserved
Easements (the City shall bear any cost or expense of activities of the City or its
designees, successors, tenants, assigns, successors-in-title, and mortgagees within
the Property). Mineral Owner shall notify the City in writing as provided in
Section 14 below of the location of the Reserved Easements prior to using said
Reserved Easements. Mineral Owner shall also notify the City in writing prior to
temporarily exceeding the size and width of the Drill Sites and Reserved
Easement for the time periods of actual construction and drilling operations and
provide the approximate size and width of the area required for such temporary
use.
Mineral Owner may, at any time, request that the City execute a separate,
recordable document in a form agreeable to Mineral Owner memorializing the
Drill Sites and/or the Reserved Easements. The City shall promptly deliver such
document(s) to Mineral Owner.

maintain the Reserved Operations Area, Access and Utilities Easement, Drill Sites
and Reserved Easements (“Reserved Sites”) in essentially the same condition as it
existed as of the date of this Agreement, subject to modifications necessary for
Mineral Owner to conduct oil and gas operations. the City shall not be
responsible for maintenance costs or maintenance of the Reserved Sites unless the
City, its assigns or, by extension, the public jointly use the Reserved Sites in
which case both the City and Mineral Owner will share in the maintenance cost
proportionate to usage.

Owner are granted in perpetuity, shall run with and be appurtenant to Mineral
Owner’s title to the minerals beneath the Property or Mineral Owner’s
