EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: City Council approved Resolution 2001-95 on July 17, 2001 authorizing the acceptance of a donation from the Estate of Robert H.Udall of 20.133 acres of land as an addition to the Reservoir Ridge Natural Area. The donation reserved a life estate on part or all of the property for Mr.Udall's widow,Mary Michie Udall. Mrs.Udall decided not to remain on the property but requested that the Natural Areas Program permit the current caretaker,Tim LeBau, to remain on the property. Staff has enjoyed and appreciated Mr.LeBau's residency on the site since Mrs.Udall moved in September 2002. Mr.LeBau has been acting in many ways as a caretaker for the property. He has consistently been a responsible tenant. He appreciates the intent of the Natural Areas program to restore the area, decline public access for the time,and eventually develop an educational center on the site. Entering into the following lease with Mr. LeBau will act as a benefit for the Natural Area. Mr.LeBau will be the only tenant on the site and will continue to expel trespassers, keep the gate leading to the. Udall Addition closed and generally watch over the property. P The lease was provided to the Natural Resources Advisory Board for review at its regular meetiv >, on May 7,2003. There was not a quorum at this meeting. Staff has received no negative comma s; from the Board and those board members in attendance had no concerns with the proposed lea. ,.
