Sue,

I apologize for the tardy response, I have been in Oklahoma all week in the field with limited access to the internet.

For the most part, your statement below is correct. The city does not anticipate mechanized maintenance in the zone 1 native
grass areas, however they are requesting the right to be able to maintain the mid story through the removal of saplings and other
volunteer woody vegetation. The zone 1 turf grass areas would be mowed areas. Each of these areas includes large containerized
tree supplemental planting where the clearing removes any canopy. The exact location of these trees is not specifically called out,
but my understanding is the intent is to maintain or if possible improve the current canopy. Also recognize that I require woody
vegetation for the successful implementation of restoration, so I will be pushing for as many trees as I can get. That being said, I
am having a construction planning meeting with the City on Monday, the purpose is to iron out some of these details as I need to
start working up a quantities list and engineers estimate for the project. If necessary, I may be able to provide more detail for you
on Tuesday.

Thanks for working with me on this project. I do believe we can get this right so both the human use and water quality benefits
can be realized within the park.

Have a great weekend,
Emmett

Emmett,

Just to confirm what we discussed in the field on Nov. 1. In the buffer drawings you submitted on Oct 2, 2017. The area
designated for Zone 1 turf grass with woody vegetation will most likely be maintained area, however the native grasses would be
used, and the area designed for Zone 1 native ground cover with woody vegetation would include low growing herbaceous
vegetation that would not be maintained by mowing or other mechanical means. Is that correct?

Thanks,
