Master Gardener Program. The Master Gardener Program would provide a full range of educational services including workshops, classes, weekly talks, an annual plant sale, and other services subject to the availability and capacity of local Master Gardener volunteers. The portions of the Community Farm site designated for use by the Master Gardener Program are included in Sub -Area 7. Also included in Sub -Area 7 is a Learning Center building (including restrooms) and a Community Garden (to expand the City's Garden Patch program) to be developed and operated by the City, along with a row crop/general agricultural area to be farmed by a yet -to -be -determined operator. Sub -Area 16 is designated in the Master Plan with a preferred use as an orchard, a vineyard, and a linear native habitat buffer. The Community Farm Master Plan includes the following Phasing Plan: Phase 1. Establish safe access, essential utilities (water connections, sewer, storm water control, electrical services, outdoor lighting), accessible driveways and parking, restrooms, fencing, pathways, drinking water, irrigation connections and park furnishings for the safe and comfortable use of the Master Gardener Program Demonstration Garden and the Garden Patch plots; • Phase 2. Development of the Master Gardener Program Demonstration Garden; • Phase 3. Expansion of the City's Garden Patch program including garden plot construction, storage building, fencing, seating, and water services; • Phase 4. Construction of the Learning Center with associated outdoor gathering and landscape improvements; • Phase 5. Development of the row crop area in Sub -Area 7; • Phase 6. Development of the orchard/vineyard and landscape buffer in Sub - Area 16. Following approval of the Community Farm Master Plan, the FY 2019/20 CIP included $350,000 in funding towards designing the first phase of the Community Farm (CIP No. 20772). That funding has continued in successive CIP budget years and is included in the FY 2022/23 CIP budget. The 2021/22-2022/23 City Council Work Plan includes Design of Phase I of the Bernal Community Farm as a "Priority A" project, and in the recent mid-term budget discussions the City Council affirmed its commitment to retaining this funding for the project. At the time the Community Garden Master Plan was approved the implementation was anticipated to include negotiations with the Master Gardeners at such time as construction of the initial phases of the Master Plan was approved. However, in 2019 the Master Gardeners reached out to City staff to advise that UCCE required an MOU be in place for the Master Gardeners to formally fundraise for the development of the Page 3 of 5
