III. RECITALS:
A. WHEREAS the Cities, County, CVAG, CDFG, FWS and The Nature
Conservancy (TNC) cooperated in the preparation of the Coachella
Valley Fringe-Toed Lizard Habitat Conservation Plan ("HCP"), which was
implemented through an agreement signed by the Cities, County, FWS,
and TNC on April 21 , 1986 ("HCP Agreement");
B. WHEREAS the HCP and HCP Agreement provided for the acquisition and
protection of important habitat lands for CVFTL, and provided that
acquisition be funded primarily through a mitigation fee, initially set at
$600 an acre and later dropping to $100 an acre, to be collected from
landowners who obtain grading or building permits from the Cities or
County;
C. WHEREAS the FWS issued an ESA section 10(a) incidental take permit
("Permit') to the Cities and County to authorize take of CVFTL resulting
from land development and other activities covered by the HCP;
D. WHEREAS CDFG did not sign the HCP or authorize incidental take of
CVFTL associated with the HCP because a permitting process had not
been established under CESA at the time the HCP was developed, but
CDFG nonetheless participated in implementation of the HCP;
E. WHEREAS the California Department of Fish and Game and the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service have previously issued letters in regard to
certain projects expressing concern relative to Fringe-toed Lizard habitat
issues concurrent with the execution of the Memorandum of
Understanding, DFG shall provide letters to CVAG jurisdictions that no
additional permits are required for take of FTL.
F. WHEREAS the HCP and the Implementing Agreement were amended
whereby CNLM assumed the obligations of management from TNC.
G. WHEREAS the HCP and the Implementing Agreement were amended on
September 1 , 1998, to permit the use of mitigation fees and other
available funds to acquire high priority sand source and corridor lands
within the blowsand ecosystem outside the boundaries of the Coachella
Valley Preserve and the Willow Hole/Edom Hill Reserve necessary to
maintain suitable habitat for the Coachella Valley Fringe-toed lizard.
Page 2
H. WHEREAS the Parties have concluded that the HCP may not protect the
supply of sand through sand source and transport areas that are
essential to maintain habitat for the CVFTL on two of the three
preserves established by the HCP, and may not provide sufficient
funding for acquisitions to protect these sand source and transport
areas;
I. WHEREAS the Cities, County and CVAG have been working with the
FWS and CDFG to develop a new Multiple Species Habitat Conservation
Plan ("MSHCP") for the Coachella Valley pursuant to ESA, CESA, and the
Natural Community Conservation Planning Act, Fish and Game §2800
et seq. ("NCCP");
J. WHEREAS the Parties agree that the CVFTL can best be protected by
inclusion of the species in the MSHCP, but desire that certain measures
be implemented on an interim basis through this MOU to protect the
CVFTL until the MSHCP is in place; and
K. WHEREAS the Parties intend this MOU to supplement and not supersede
or amend the HCP and HCP Agreement.
IV. THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:
A. MUTUAL OBLIGATIONS OF ALL THE PARTIES:
1 . The Parties agree that during the term of this MOU, the greatest
priority for land acquisition shall be acquisition of parcels in
Section 8, Township 4S, Range 6E; land along Ramon Road and
land along Palm Drive that falls within the sand source and
transport areas identified in the Coachella Valley Mountains
Conservancy Memo dated June 29, 2000 (Exhibit A). Funds
previously collected under the HCP or provided pursuant to the
terms of this MOU may be used to purchase lands within these
sand source and transport areas; land acquisitions in sand source
and transport areas shall otherwise be made using the process
described in the HCP and HCP Agreement.
2. The Cities, County, CVAG, FWS and CDFG shall diligently work
to complete an MSHCP that provides for conservation of the
CVFTL and other species. To that end, the Cities, County,
CVAG, FWS and CDFG commit to present to their respective
decision bodies the proposed MSHCP in a form sufficient for
adoption by September 1, 2002. CVAG, CDFG and FWS
Page 3

progress of MSHCP planning and address problems as they arise.
B. OBLIGATIONS OF THE CITIES, COUNTY AND CVAG:
1 . During the term of this MOU, the Cities and County shall

Cities and County generate during this period pursuant to the
terms of the HCP. The CVAG jurisdiction signatories agree to
reinstate the $600 per disturbed acre mitigation fee. It is agreed
that to the extent the mitigation fees are insufficient to satisfy the
$2 million contribution, the Cities and County may make up any
shortfall through grants or donations they have received for this
purpose, but in no event shall the cities or county be required to
fund any portion of the contribution from their general funds. It
is agreed that to the extent the mitigation fees are insufficient to
satisfy the $2 million local contribution within the time period of
this MOU, that the shortfall shall be remedied through loans or
other sources. If money is borrowed for the shortfall, the
mitigation fee will continue to be collected until such time as the
loans are made whole. It is further specifically understood that
under no circumstances does this MOU obligate the General fund
of any signatory jurisdiction.
2. The County immediately shall adopt as development guidelines
the standards in Exhibit B for land use development occurring
within sand source and transport areas in Section 8, Township
4S, Range 6E.' The County shall also within 90 days of the

any changes in the development standards set forth in Exhibit B
during its review and adoption of land use ordinances for these
areas.

Highways Administration, shall mitigate all direct and indirect
impacts on CVFTL from widening of Palm Drive through the

the permit, HCP and HCP Agreements shall remain in effect.
D. OBLIGATIONS OF CDFG:
