Item 3. Public Comment (INFORMATIONAL) None.

Item 4. Chairperson’s and Governing Board Members’ Report (INFORMATIONAL) Scott Sherman discussed the homeless encampment cleanup event held at the Home Depot. The event was with the San Diego River Park Foundation, Police Department, Park and Rec and Fish and Wildlife. It had been established for a while with over 100 bikes disassembled to be sold for parts. The River Rescue squad estimated 50,000 tons of debris. Trash was strewn all the way down to the river. Two dumpsters were filled with more work ahead. Luckily some homeless agreed to receive help from the City of San Diego. Another cleanup will be held next Wednesday with 4 dumpsters donated. If anyone would like to volunteer, please see Liz for more information. Scott thanked every who participated in this cleanup, including Julia. Julia Richards mentioned an invasive removal project in the same vicinity. She would like to bring this project before the Board in the future after the details are gathered. Ben Clay discussed how the remaining trash effects water quality and a key issue is removing the invasives. Also, taking care of new sprouts requires monitoring and maintenance. Gary Strawn participates in these cleanups. He mentioned there are two types of encampments; the ones they walk up to or the ones they can drive up to. It is a good idea to work with Caltrans to block street access for those areas they can drive up to. The difference in access results in removing sleeping bags versus mattresses. Item 5. Deputy Attorney General Report (INFORMATIONAL/ACTION) No report. Item 6. Strategic Plan Update 2018-2023 (INFORMATIONAL/ACTION) Julia Richards thanked Ben. The last couple meetings were spent reviewing the Strategic Plan Update. The final version is in the Board Book. She was in contact with various Board Members who had questions. Ben Clay stated Julia incorporated the comments during these meetings into a final version. If there are no questions, he asked for a motion. Scott Sherman moved for approval of Resolution 17-06 and Ruth Hayward seconded. Roll Call: Ayes: Brent Eidson, Scott Sherman, Deanna Spehn, Bryan Cash, Eraina Ortega, Dianne Jacob, Ben Clay, Ruth Hayward, Andrew Poat. (9-0-0) Item 7. Goal SD Plan for Soccer City San Diego (INFORMATIONAL) Ben Clay stated today’s meeting will focus on the river. The Board will have a chance to comment on the impacts of FS Investor’s project, parks, flooding and other plans.

Nick Stone partner FS Investors. His company wants to bring special projects in the form of soccer and boost SDSU football program. Given an opportunity at this site they will secure a soccer franchise - developing a mixed-use area where soccer is the anchor. That plan builds 25 acres of park with an additional 30 acres costing around $40 million dollars. Soccer is the fastest growing sport in the millennial cohort and the second most popular sport today. That fits well with Mission Valley, which is skewed towards 40-year old’s. Starting with a good population base that is likely to use the stadium, this project will provide activities for people and additional apartments will attract more visitors. The soccer stadium is compelling. The City of San Diego approved the Climate Action Plan for less than 50% of trips to be originated on site, not from car. Building enough houses for people to work there, live there and enjoy retail will make this possible. A tool to make this area compelling would need housing density. Three trolley stops are within walking distance. Integration of development along the river will draw people to spend time along the river. The single largest parking lot west of the Mississippi is an environmental concern. This proposal would allow filtration to happen, provide buffer and create integration of water features. The pictures seen here are past proposals over the years for this area and has housing and mixed-use development with a large park. The City of San Diego Climate Action Plan limits what can be developed at the site; however, the responsible thing to do is build a park for the people. People will attend a park on the south side of the property. FS Investors want to re-level the site to what it was. 55 acres of park is the result of this project. This development is valuable because it creates a tax base, 26,000 permanent jobs which would be tied to soccer and investors are committed to see this project completed by March 2020. Ben Clay the encroachment might need permitting which would delay the project. Has that changed at all? Nick Stone because the grade won’t change and converting from asphalt to permeable grasses, the City will provide expedited permits. They spent a lot of time discussing with the City. FS Investors thinks this area is permittable and an acre and a quarter will not stop the project. Scott Sherman asked if the 34 acres include the existing floodplain. Nick Stone responded of the 166-acre project, 34 acres and 12 acres are park designated. Dianne Jacob inquired is the park plan fixed? Have you considered the trail connection? If this is approved, who will maintain the park? Nick Stone responded $40 million is available so FS Investors would like to work with others to see what is most feasible. FS Investors is responsible for that area and they care about maintaining the quality of the park. If everything goes according to plan without litigation, construction starts in mid-2018 and would be completed in 2020. Ben Clay asked if someone does sue the project, does the timeline change? From the Conservancy’s perspective, a trail through Qualcomm has been a goal as described in the San Diego River Master Plan approved in 2013.

Nick Stone because of the price of the project people will care about the quality of the park. Having a team meeting to discuss potential options ensure park design accommodations. Colton Sudberry Sudberry Properties is a master plan developer and other communities in the area. Their concern is lack of infrastructure for roadways. He would like to see a park plan with supporting infrastructure. The FS proposal will take time to get permits. Furthermore, the City’s contribution to the park and the investors are exempting themselves from $51 million dollars of park fees. Please read and understand the initiative. Nick Stone with respect to the development fees, the intent is for a small building. Rather than build land, a park will be in place. It was modelled per the City’s directions. From a park stand point, its $20 million dollars more; not having a park is degradation to the river. Ben Clay are there discussions of what is in the initiative and what can happen? When the public speaks, how will their voice be heard? Nick Stone some things can be modified, others can’t. The environmental side can’t. The contract would be made available to the public through their website. The public will be informed of changes. FS Investors wants to figure out how the groups can work together. Ben Clay as a state agency he mentioned being inclusive. Ben requested the 2010 flood pictures of Qualcomm Stadium be displayed. Water was pumped out of the stadium, flooding happens – how will insurance be obtained and flood potential reduced? Nick Stone said detailed analyses have been run to re-balance the soil. Pushing the earth back to where it was will improve the flooding situation. Ruth Hayward noted that area flooded 2ft deep and stayed that way for a couple weeks. Before the freeway, there was a bridge and Murphy Canyon flooded. Drainage needs to be considered. The history of flooding has nothing to do with where the stadium stands. Greg Shields introduced himself as design consultant FS Investors. FS Investors have performed technical studies of the site. They intend to process a Conditional Letters of Map Revision Based on Fill (CLOMR F) to raise structures a minimum of 2ft out of the floodplain. A floodway is along the edge of the pavement that won’t be encroached. Floodplains can be raised; that is feasible. A buffer between Murphy Canyon Creek to allow overflow of 75ft, the area will be mitigated. Scott Sherman responded most of the issues come from Murphy Canyon Creek. There has not been a breach into the park for a long time because the City of San Diego keeps the channel clear. Greg Shields added raising the elevation of the river floodplain will ameliorate flooding. The development will be setback a minimum of 75ft. and provide a place to catch sediment transported from Murphy Creek – protection against the development. Dianne Jacob asked have you done calculations in relation to rainfall and how often the park will be underwater?

Greg Shields responded they are in the process. Berming the trail will reduce chance of inundation. It is unlikely velocities would compromise bank stability. Ben Clay asked how the banks will be stabilized. He then thanked the speakers. Item 8. Proposition 1 Grant program (INFORMATIONAL/ACTION) Julia Richards stated the attachment in the Board Book has metrics of Round 1 and 2 achievements. For Round 1 and 2 for the Conservancy’s Proposition 1 (Prop 1) grant program, 24 concept proposals were received, 13 were approved for funding allocating approximately $5.4 M ($5,438,818.66). 7 invasive control and restoration projects totaling 38 acres, 2 acquisitions totaling approximately 112 acres, 3 water quality enhancement projects, 1 multiple-benefit public access project (Mast Park, Santee), 4 projects are located in disadvantaged communities, the total amount of matching funds for these 2 rounds exceeds $6 M. Other state agencies have updated their guidelines so SDRC will reach out for suggestions. Andrew Poat the matching funds exceed awarded amount? That’s good news. Ben Clay walked the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot, and became aware of the invasive removal process and the need to follow up with herbicide treatment. Removing trash and debris will also improve conditions. Julia Richards remarked Proposition 1 Round 3 will provide a notice of available funds in September 2017, April 2018 concept proposals are due and full applications due June 1, 2018. Ben Clay mentioned extensions may be needed because staffing capacity of partners permitting delays or cash flow issues. Brent Eidson asked how much money is available for Round 3? Julia Richards responded SDRC will provide that during the next Board Meeting. Item 9. San Diego State University Research Foundation (INFORMATIONAL) Julie Lambert thanked the Board for allowing San Diego State University Research Foundation (SDSURF) to conduct this work. Invasives along Alvarado Road have been removed as well as 180 tons of trash biomass. The canopy has opened up and 1 year after restoration native plants have recovered. Before restoration, palm trees dominated. After restoration, native plant species such as arroyo willow and bulrush are increasing. Andrew Poat asked what is the main source of trash. It is important to understand the source to prevent it from happening in the future. Julie Lambert responded encampments bring all types of items including mattresses, televisions and barbeques. Homeless have not returned since they cleaned that area. At the junction of the City’s reach which connects to SDSU, flooding has decreased. Previously this area flooded a few buildings. It was a 5-10-year event; however, this year a bigger storm of 10-25-year event occurred. Gary Strawn asked if invasive removal upstream affects downstream.

Julie Lambert continued SDSU property and Caltrans property has not flooded because the creek opens up downstream which allows more area for water to dissipate. There are a couple options with the university. The section leading to Adobe Falls will be a future grant proposal and funds to support continuation for ongoing maintenance. Dianne Jacob asked how this area will be maintained. There seems to be a lack of long term funding. This issue arose in Lakeside and she would like this discussion to be on the next agenda. She stated 95% of the trash weight is from homeless. Scott Sherman thanked Julie for her work in that area. Maintenance is key. He is interested in expedited permitting and making the maintenance process easier. The maintenance channel involves many land owners so coordinating is necessary. Julie Lambert the sediment has been dislodged. During wet season after the restoration, water keeps moving sediment. The size of the pebbles have increased. SDSURF is still investigated the diversity of algae community, which is a good sign. Levels of bacteria, E. coli, are below the benchmark; however, water samples in Grantville E. coli are above benchmark by orders of magnitude. Ruth Hayward asked if this provided research opportunities for the university. Natalie Mladenov professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at SDSU discussed how the project helps the engineering department with graduate and undergraduate involvement. One student won awards for her presentation. A number of faculty are involved. Ben Clay thanked the presenters. Item 10. Resource Conservation District of Greater San Diego County (RCDGSDC)

(INFORMATIONAL) Sheryl Landrum introduced herself as the Executive Director of the Resource Conservation District of Greater San Diego County (RCDGSDC). She is excited to work with SDRC. They have extensive coverage in San Diego – 2,886 acres. They are grant funded, managing 20 grants and some of their programs include fire prevention and education, natural resources services and storm water pollution prevention. She has an efficient staff of 9. Projects include school garden, Tijuana community garden which is the largest in San Diego County and a pollinator program. This organization works with others on conservation plans, helps people with erosion, runoff and other affected resources. Through the watershed education, RCDGSDC gives presentations to about 4,300 students a year. These programs are sustained and growing without the need for grant funds. They developed school gardens in underserved communities. The Tijuana River Valley is the largest community garden in San Diego County. Slots are available for expansion. The first Carbon Farm Plan is in development. Additionally, they have a student watershed stewardship program. Ben Clay asked if they work at the Balboa Park pollinator restoration. Sheryl Landrum responded they do not. Lastly the scholarship program supports 5 students in the environmental field. RCDGSD is a special district.

Ruth Hayward mentioned contributing to SDRC restoration projects by giving native plants to be installed throughout the watershed. Gary Strawn discussed a garden project at the Edgemoore Barn in Santee. He would like additional support from Sheryl, if possible. Scott Sherman asked if Sheryl works with property owners for community gardens. Converting vacant land for a garden would be useful. Sheryl Landrum agreed gardens would be a good idea. They helped the County manage property. Ben Clay thanked Sheryl and suggested SDRC and RCDGSDC work together. Item 11. Executive Officer’s Report (INFORMATIONAL) Julia Richards mentioned future agenda items can be requested by board members, similar to the Water Board. The Conservancy has met with San Diego State University and the SDSU Research Foundation to discuss possible opportunities for invasive removal; Julia attended a del Cerro community meeting and scheduled a meeting with local home owners’ association to discuss invasive removal. The Conservancy has met with Padre Dam MWD, City of Santee and San Diego State University and the SDSU Research Foundation to discuss possible opportunities for a flood control project at Sycamore Creek. The permanent Environmental Scientist position was approved which becomes effective July 1, 2017. It was estimated 150,000 lbs. (75 tons) of trash removed at the Home Depot cleanup. She thanked Scott Sherman’s office, the San Diego River Park Foundation, San Diego Police, Department of Fish & Wildlife, the SDPD’s Homeless Outreach Team (HOT), and EDCO for their help. Scott Sherman appreciates Julia’s work. Item 13. Adjournment Meeting adjourned at 3:05 pm
