BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On January 1, 2020, Napa County entered into Space License Agreement No. 20-008D with Silver Rose to use the Golf Course Parking Lot at the Calistoga Fairgrounds as a space for employee parking during construction of Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley. Agreement 20-008D was scheduled to end on December 31, 2020. On December 8, 2020, Agreement No. 20-008 was amended and reinstated to allow Silver Rose continued use of the Golf Course Parking Lot by extending the term to December 31, 2021. At this time, the Agreement was assigned a new number, No. 210198B.
On June 8, 2021, Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 210198B allowed Silver Rose to temporarily expand their use of space beyond the Golf Course Parking Lot and into the RV Parking area between June 7 and June 30, 2021, to provide for additional employee parking during construction of road improvements associated with construction of Four Seasons.
On December 14, 2021, Amendment No. 2 to Space License Agreement No. 210198B assigned all rights and obligations of the Agreement to Calistoga Vines Lessee, Inc. (new owner of Four Seasons), amended the agreement to allow employee parking to support operation of Four Seasons, extended the term of the space license on a month-to-month basis (not to exceed 12 months), and increased monthly compensation from $1,500 to $3,000.
On December 13, 2022, Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 210198B extended the term of the Agreement through June 30, 2023, with the consent of the City of Calistoga, which had entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the County for the Property. The City of Calistoga has now terminated the purchase and sale agreement and their consent for leasing is no longer required.
Approval of Amendment No 4 to Amended and Restated Space License Agreement No. 210198B will extend the term of the agreement through June 30, 2024, at the same monthly rental rate.
