The parties agree to amend Agreement FCD2015G007 as follows:
Reference Original Agreement:  RECITALS: WHEREAS;
WHEREAS, to complete construction authorized by said Resolution, the DISTRICT will be required to do 
work within the PROPERTY, an area over which FLAKE has leasehold rights; and
WHEREAS, to complete construction authorized by said Resolution, the DISTRICT has performed 
Phase 1 Construction of the planned 3 PROJECT Phases within the PROPERTY, an area over which FLAKE 
has leasehold rights.  During Phase 1 construction certain FLAKE ranching facilities were removed and others

WHEREAS, the timing of additional Federal cost share funding to complete the Vineyard Road FRS Rehab 
Project (PROJECT) is unknown thereby causing uncertainty in the timing of  Phase 2 PROJECT Construction

adversely impacted permanent ranching facilities, FLAKE has agreed to surrender rights he possesses over the

amendment is needed, the annual fee paid to FLAKE will be no less than the original annual fee under the original 
agreement of $70,000 per year and potentially could be a greater amount subject to negotiations based on 
justification documentation to be provided by FLAKE at the time.
