above mentioned signed original document and observed the following:
• All Public Works related items, of the "Road Maintenance Agreement According To Policy', are found to be
acceptable.

3. Have this BOCC Hearing item not placed on the next available agenda as neither part of the Consent Agenda nor the
Regular Agenda.
Consequences:
• Not terminating the agreement will make it appear as if the operator is still bound to the terms of the
agreement even though the land use case has expired and no longer is valid for its permitted use.
Impacts:
• The files maintained by Clerk to the Board will not accurately reflect the reality of the situation.
Costs (Current Fiscal Year / Ongoing or Subsequent Fiscal Years):
• There is no direct cost impact for the County if this agreement is terminated.

Option 2. The Departments of Planning Services, Public Works, Oil and Gas Energy, and the County Attorney's Office are
recommending approval of the termination of the Road Maintenance Agreement According To Policy for
