BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The University of California and Dale Chapman, our current lessee of the 1.1 acre tree research plot at the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility, have requested continuation of the lease in the name of the University of California. The Chapman Forestry Foundation lease expires June 30, 1989. The University would like to continue the variety trial planting program at White Slough for the period July 1, 1989 to June 30, 1997. Because of the lonq-term nature of the tree research, the University needs relatively long commitments and lead time in order to plan their trial planting program. The concept of this Lease Agreement has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. The current lease has no rental amount and the proposed lease would also have no rental amount for the 1.1 acres involved, 6Ja Ronsko Works Director r JLR/FEF/ma cc: Wastewater Treatment Supervisor r - k 9 f l APPROVED: J ' %� + FILE NO.
