is expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement does not grant any rights, of any kind
or nature, in the real property owned by City.

expressly limited to the grazing of beef type cattle (i.e., no dairy or dairy type cattle), as set

LLAS Grazing Agreement Page 1 of 16
2.02. This Agreement shall terminate without further notice, unless terminated
earlier pursuant to the terms hereof, when the term specified in this Article II expires.
Contractor shall immediately vacate the LLAS upon the expiration or termination of this
Agreement. Any holding over by Contractor shall not constitute a renewal of this Agreement
nor give Contractor any rights under this Agreement or to the LLAS.
ARTICLE III
GRAZING FEES
3.01. During the term of this Agreement, Contractor shall pay to City $116.80 per
head per year, being $0.32 per day, for each dry cow, bull, cow/nursing calf pair and/or
weaned calf for grazing, payable on or before the tenth (lot) day of each following month.
On the last day of each month and at the final removal of the cattle from the LLAS, the cattle
will be gathered and counted by the Contractor, with the cooperation of the City and such

cattle from the LLAS by Contractor.
ARTICLE IV
EFFLUENT APPLICATION
4.01. Contractor hereby expressly agrees and stipulates that the primary purpose
and use of the LLAS is as an effluent disposal site for effluent produced by the City. Due to
LLAS Grazing Agreement Page 2 of 16
its intended purpose and issues related to weather, competing effluent demands, mechanical
and/or pumping difficulties and various other related matters, portions of the LLAS may not
receive effluent in quantities and at times necessary for optimum growth of crops for grazing
purposes on the LLAS. Additionally, Contractor hereby expressly stipulates and agrees that,
due to the above described issues, instances may occur in which portions of the LLAS may
receive effluent in excess of the quantities and at times within permitted parameters but less
than optimum to the ideal needs of crops.
4.02. The City shall have the sole right of control over each and every system of
effluent application and/or irrigation located upon the LLAS. The City reserves all rights in
and to the LLAS necessary to exercise whatever control it deems necessary, as it determines
in its sole and absolute discretion, to effectuate such irrigation and effluent application
activities. It is expressly agreed and understood that the City has the right to apply and/or
irrigate effluent upon the LLAS on such lands, at such times, and in such quantities, or to
refuse to apply and/or irrigate such effluent upon the LLAS, as it shall deem necessary, in its
sole and absolute discretion, or as required by regulatory authorities. Contractor shall have
no rights whatsoever regarding the effluent irrigation or application upon the LLAS,
including without limitation, the timing and amounts of irrigation or land application or the
lands upon which irrigation or land application shall occur, if any.
4.03. Contractor expressly recognizes and stipulates that the grazing of the LLAS
will be under a strict management regime. The management practices at LLAS are expected
to be dynamic in nature, and as such, it is anticipated that grazing management practices may
be altered during the term of this Agreement. It is hereby expressly understood and
stipulated by Contractor that only a portion of the LLAS, as dictated by City, shall be
LLAS Grazing Agreement Page 3 of 16
available for grazing by Contractor at any specific time. THE CITY SHALL HAVE THE
RIGHT TO DICTATE (i) THE NUMBER OF CATTLE GRAZED UPON THE LLAS; (ii)
THE TIMES AT WHICH THE CATTLE GRAZE UPON THE LLAS; (iii) THE AREAS OF
THE LLAS GRAZED BY CONTRACTOR'S CATTLE; AND (iv) ANY AND ALL
OTHER ASPECTS OF THE MANAGEMENT OF THE LLAS, THE IRRIGATION OF
THE LLAS, AND THE GRAZING OF THE LLAS, THAT CITY SHALL DEEM
NECESSARY OR ADVISABLE, IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the following conditions shall be imposed
upon the grazing of Contractor's cattle upon the plots at the LLAS:
i. Each application plot shall be managed individually. Further, each or some of
the plots may contain small livestock exclosure areas utilized to measure plant
material yield.
ii. Each plot must have a stand of forage that covers a minimum of 75% of the
ground surface prior to initiating, and during grazing.
iii. A 60 lb/ac/yr discount in the annual application of plant available nitrogen
(PAN) will be made in the defined effluent application rate to account for the
nitrogen recycled as a result of grazing the LLAS.
iv. The application of plant available nitrogen will continue to be further
discounted by the amount of residual soil nitrogen found in the application
plot immediately prior to the grazing activity.
V. Grazing is planned for 2 of the 4 crop management areas of the LLAS, and
will be rotated among the 4 crop management areas each year. The crop
management areas are approximately depicted on Exhibit `B", attached hereto
LLAS Grazing Agreement Page 4 of 16
and may be altered or amended by the City at any time during the term hereof.
It is understood by Contractor that cattle grazing is utilized by the City as a
harvest option to maintain the forage in an optimal growth pattern throughout
the year.
vi. Cattle stocking density shall be maintained at an average of less than 1 animal
unit per acre of land wherein effluent application occurs, per year, during
periods of grazing.
vii. Grazing shall be discontinued or the grazing population decreased when the
forage is grazed to a point of growth stress in which the forage is no longer in
an optimal growth pattern.
viii. Cattle shall be moved or grazing populations changed, as dictated by the City,
at grazing intervals to allow each application plot to continue a cyclical
pattern of (i) vegetative growth; (ii) removal by grazing; and (iii) regrowth,
throughout the year.
4.04. CONTRACTOR HEREBY RELEASES CITY, ITS ELECTED OFFICIALS,
OFFICERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES AND INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, FROM
