(m) Summarize yearly management and monitoring activities within annual reports as outlined in the PMP. Provide a yearly work plan and budget. 2. Reporting and Coordination Tasks a. Reporting requirements will be pursuant to the PMP, but will also include a monthly report of activities and tasks accomplished. b. The Scope and Cost includes time and costs to allow CNLM staff to attend meetings (80 hours total), to coordinate activities with the City of Carlsbad's Preserve Steward, and to provide support to Senior Planning Staff. Additional funds will be required if additional time (above the 80 hours) are required for such meetings. 3. Exceptions to Management Tasks CNLM and City expressly agree that CNLM has no responsibilities for either trail management or fuel zone management. City, as property owner, retains all such related responsibilities. CNLM and City recognize and agree that this description of the Services is based upon certain costing assumptions that may require changes both to this Exhibit A and to Exhibit B ("Compensation"). These include the following: • The costs of implementing the PMP are based on the management and monitoring assumptions provided in Section 4.2 and the Cost provided in Exhibit B of this agreement. • The PMP proposes areas where fencing should be installed to protect the preserve areas. The City will pay for all fence installation expenses. CNLM will maintain these fences. Fencing is used to protect properties and usually allows for less enforcement and patrolling. If the City decides not to build some of the fences that were proposed in the PMP, CNLM will have to increase patrolling and enforcement hours and costs. • The Services does not include the removal or follow up maintenance of the palm grove within the Calavera Lake/Creek area, which will be removed by the City as part of project specific mitigation efforts. It is assumed that there will be 5 years of follow up maintenance performed by the City as required by most permit-required mitigation. • The Services does not include tasks associated with trail planning or construction. It does not include costs to restore undesired trails with Special Agreement CNLM 08/08 native vegetation, or block these trails with fencing, such as those at Calavera Lake. The Services does not include post-fire management and monitoring tasks. This includes, but is not limited to, new fence installation, major fence repair or fence replacement, post-fire nonnative plant control, erosion control, post-fire biological monitoring and other activities associated with post-fire conditions except as mutually agreed upon and separately funded by the City.
