Neil,
One additional follow up to close out the items referenced in the staff report. During the Zavoral Site (Site) inspection
on July 27, 2017 the WCD and City staff identified a location where one small gully is developing on the south side of the
power poles. Through discussions between Tiller Corporation (Tiller) staff and Argo Navis Community Solar Garden
(ANCSG) representatives, it has been determined that ANCSG will monitor and address the repair of the minor gully as
appropriate upon mobilization to the Site. Repair of the gully may include but not be limited to filling and seeding the
gully, with repairs limited to the immediate area where the gully is occurring to minimize impact to the adjacent seeded
areas.
I will be in attendance tomorrow to answer any additional questions.
Regards,
Nathan Franzen

Mr. Soltis:
The purpose of this email is to provide the City with a statement regarding the transfer of responsibility for Tiller
Corporation's Reclamation Plan to Argo Navis Community Solar Gardens, as requested by the City. Argo Navis and Tiller
have negotiated an agreement whereby Argo Navis will assume responsibilities for the remaining vegetative monitoring
and maintenance obligations under the Tiller Reclamation Plan for Phase 1-4 areas and we understand that these
obligations extend for a minimum of five years to December 31, 2021. Argo Navis has also negotiated a lease
amendment with the underlying landowner to provide Argo Navis with access to the portions of the Reclamation Area
outside of Argo Navis' facility to accommodate ongoing vegetative management activities. Argo Navis' agreement to
assume remaining Tiller vegetative maintenance responsibilities under the Reclamation Plan are contingent upon
completion of all regulatory requirements for Argo Navis to proceed with construction of its solar garden project.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Thank you,
Neal Poteet
