a) Elect to extend the term of the Exclusive Negotiations Agreement between the County of Santa Barbara (“County”) and PathPoint (“Owner”) for an additional period of six months, which will grant the County exclusive rights to negotiate with the Owner for the acquisition of real property and enable County staff to continue applying for competitive grant funds and/or other financing for that acquisition, and direct staff to notify Owner of such election; and
