Abbors, General Manager Date: March 25, 2009 Re: Written Communication i i r EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE DRAFT RESPONSE PREPARED BY STAFF March 26, 2009 FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION Hartzig Family sandy@hatzis.org Subject: Your Email Dated March 5, 2009 Referencing Bear Creek Stables Dear Hartzig Family, Thank you for taking the time to send us a note describing your daughter's experience at Bear Creek Stables as your family celebrated her 51h birthday. Bear Creek Stables leases District property within the larger 1,345-acre Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve. Currently, the Preserve is the subject of a master planning process, and as such Bear Creek Stables has been one of the many topics of discussion. Responding in part to the many comments that the District has received in support of the stables operation, the District's Master Plan Ad Hoc Committee will be forwarding a Draft Plan to the full Board of Directors that is anticipated to include a recommendation for a long-term lease with a stables operation. We expect to invite the public to an Open House to present the Draft Plan recommendations during the summer of 2009. If you are interested in learning more about the master plan, please visit our project website at www.openspace.ory/masterplan. Also, please let us know if you would like to be added to our mailing list to receive upcoming meeting announcements and project newsletters by contacting Ana Ruiz, Project Planner, by phone at(650) 691-1200 or by email at aruiz@openspace.org. Sincerely, Nonette Hanko, Board President cc: MROSD Board of Directors Stephen E. Abbors, General Manager I r From: Sandy Hatzis [mailto:sandy@hatzis.org, Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 5:38 PM To: BOARD Cc: Ana Ruiz; Steve Abbors Subject: Thank you I am writing to express my gratitude and heartfelt thanks to everyone who has worked toward the preservation of the Bear Creek Stables at the Bear Creek Redwood Preserve. My child had a single birthday wish for her 5th birthday,and it was more than fulfilled during a two hour visit to the stables. Under the guidance of our host, Jenny Whitman, our daughter experienced the wonder and beauty of her favorite animal in a unique and wonderful manner. Her recount of the experience leaves me with no doubt that the experience has given her a wonderful everlasting memory of her 5th birthday. -- Mel, Sandy&Christina (5) Hatzis I I Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District P R-09-41 Meeting 09-08 March 25, 2009 AGENDA ITEM 4 AGENDA ITEM Approve Communications Site Lease Agreement Amendment and Exercise of Option with the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University, at Black Mountain, Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Approve and authorize the President of the Board of Directors to execute the attached Communications Site Lease Agreement Amendment and Exercise of Option with the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University. DISCUSSION At the meeting of November 22, 1988, the Board approved a Communications Site Lease with the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University (Lessee) (see report R-88-137). The Lessee has exercised the fourth option to the original Communications Site Lease which extends the lease an additional five years and also provides for a negotiated increase in the annual rent, starting at $40,404 (retroactive to November 22, 2008), and thereafter increasing 6.5%per year for each of the remaining four ears of this extension term. This is the last option p Y g Y p under the 1988 Communications Site Lease for additional five-year terms to be set at the then prevailing market rate, consistent with California Public Resources Code Section 5563. It is in the best interests of the District to approve the subject lease amendment because it provides the District with continued rental revenue at market rates with no new impacts to District land. FISCAL IMPACT As a result of this final amendment, District revenue for this communications site will increase by $46,812 over the five year period of the amendment as indicated in the table below. i R-09-41 Page 2 Current Proposed Communications Site Communications Site Lease Rent Lease Rent under Final Amendment First Year $37,584 $ 40 404 Second Year $37,584 $43,440 Third Year $37,584 $46,704 Fourth Year $37,584 $50,208 Fifth Year $37,584 $53,976 Total $187,920 $234,732 Additional Revenue $46,812 PUBLIC NOTICE Public notice was provided as required by the Brown Act. No additional notice is required. CEQA COMPLIANCE The activity authorized is not a project for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (Guidelines Section 15378) because the extension of an existing lease pursuant to the exercise of an option does not have a reasonably foreseeable possibility of resulting in a direct or indirect physical change to the environment. NEXT STEPS Upon approval of the lease amendment, staff will notify the Lessee of Board approval of this item. With the expiration of twenty-five year lease term in November 2013, staff and Lessee will begin negotiations on a new communications lease agreement in the spring of 2013 unless the lease premises are needed for public open space purposes in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 5563.

(DMSI) for Mailing Services, and Authorize Contract with Patsons Press for Printing Services for Fiscal Year 2009-2010 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Authorize the General Manager to extend the contract for graphic design services with Design Concepts for an amount not to exceed $50,677.00; 2. Authorize the General Manager to extend the contract for mailing services with Direct Marketing Solutions, Inc. (DMSI) for an amount not to exceed $23,000.00; 3. Authorize the General Manager to enter into a contract for printing services with Patsons Press for an amount not to exceed $93,500.00 for Fiscal Year 2009-2010. I DISCUSSION At your April 9, 2008 meeting, you authorized the General Manager to enter into a contract with Design Concepts of Mountain View for an amount not to exceed $43,100 (see Report R-08-58), with Direct Marketing Solutions, Inc. (DMSI) of San Francisco for an amount not to exceed $32,000 (see Report R-09-59), and with ImageX of Pleasanton for an amount not to exceed $104,000 (see Report R-08-60) for FY2008-09. These contracts were approved after a competitive proposal process in 2008 with the option to extend them through FY2009-10 and FY2010-11, subject to further Board approval. Graphic Design and Mailing Service Contracts Staff has worked with the graphic design and mailing service providers (Design Concepts and DMSI, respectively), on various projects over the last year and is satisfied with their services and the value provided. Both of these companies have delivered a high level of customer service and response to urgent service needs in a timely manner. Given the District's excellent overall experience with the quality and professional services provided by Design Concepts and Direct Marketing Solutions, Inc. (DMSI), staff recommends the District extend the contracts with Design Concepts and Direct Marketing Solutions, Inc. (DMSI) for FY2009-10 for amounts not to exceed $50,677.00 and $23,000.00, respectively. The increased amount of$7,577 for Design R-09-30 Page 2 Concepts will pay for special projects such as graphic design work for the Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve Master Plan and continued implementation of the new logo. The reduced amount of$9,000 for DMSI is an outcome of efficient processing and handling of the quarterly newsletter Open Space Views resulting in lower postage and distribution costs. Printing Services For printing services, staff recommends the District change from ImageX,the printing firm used during FY2008-09, and contract with Patsons Press, a Sunnyvale-based company, for FY2009- 10. Through unanticipated add-on costs (for example, charges for printing proofs, authors' corrections, and delivery) it has become cost prohibitive for the District to continue to contract with ImageX for printing services. Staff was able to stay within the current fiscal year budget only by obtaining project quotes and awarding printing jobs to other printers such as Patsons Press. Patsons Press has consistently provided lower quotes on printing projects such as invitations and trail brochures. In addition, ImageX's status as a print brokerage company resulted in an added layer of logistics. Therefore, staff recommends switching printers from ImageX to Patsons Press. Patsons Press had been the District's printer during FY2005-06, FY2006-07, and FY2007-08, and they participated in the District's competitive Request for Proposal process for printing ImageX because we believed ved services for FY2008-09. However, this contract was awarded to Ima g that their pricing would be more competitive. An option to extend the contract through FY2009- 10 and FY2010-11 was a part of this process. Of the 11 proposals reviewed at that time, Patsons Press was one of the top three printing firms considered based on cost estimates for sample projects (printing of the District's quarterly newsletter and trail brochures) and services provided. In order to recommend to the Board which firm to switch to from ImageX, staff reviewed both remaining firms in the group of top three printing firms and concluded that Patsons Press is the best candidate because it has over 40 years of experience in the printing industry, has produced relevant, high quality work samples, and is familiar with the District's print materials. Patsons Press is also FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council), has received an Environmental Achievement Award from the City of Sunnyvale, and regularly uses recycled content paper stocks and only soy-based ink, demonstrating experience using products that meet District environmental standards. Based upon highly competitive printing cost estimates (both current and historically), high quality samples provided and produced, and performance criteria such as timely response to District inquiries, quick turn-around on projects, and generally no charges for printing proofs, authors' corrections, and delivery, staff further recommends contracting with Patsons Press for FY2009-10 for an amount not to exceed $93,500.00. FISCAL IMPACT Funding for graphic design, mailing, and printing services has been included in the Public Affairs FY2009-10 budget. Final adoption of the proposed FY2009-10 Public Affairs budget by the Board at its March 25, 2009 meeting would authorize $167,177 to accomplish the Public Affairs graphic design, mailing, and printing projects planned for the next fiscal year. PUBLIC NOTICE R-09-30 Page 3 Public notice was provided as required by the Brown Act. No additional notice is required. CEQA COMPLIANCE This proposed action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act and no environmental review is required. NEXT STEPS Once Board approval is obtained,the graphic design, mailing, and printing services contracts for FY2009-10 will be executed, and Public Affairs staff will implement on an ongoing basis the graphic design, mailing, and printing projects planned for the fiscal year.

DISCUSSION The a si nment of the Administration and Budget Committee the "Committee" is to review the s ( ) g g proposed FY2009-10 budget to ensure it remains fiscally conservative and provides the financial r m as described in the District Action Plan resources to accomplish the District's work program p p. g (Report R-09-43). In addition, the Committee reviews and ensures that the previous year's Committee recommendations have either been accomplished or tabled until the following year. The Committee met five (5) times with the General Manager, District Controller, the department i managers and various staff. After reviewing the duties and responsibilities of the Committee, the Committee began with an analysis of the District's financials by the District Controller. Given current economic conditions and a possible reduction in tax revenues, the District Controller indicated that the FY2009-10 operating budget should not exceed $13,500,000 or just over 50%of projected tax revenues of$26,660,000. The Controller indicated that the coverage ratio was 138%, which meets the 100%minimum Coverage Ratio Guideline. This Guideline is calculated by dividing the difference of the tax revenues less operating expenses by the sum of debt service plus $2 million. Maintaining a ratio of at least 100%ensures that $2 million will be set aside to service additional debt issued to fund purchases of new land. The proposed FY2009-10 budget was well within the Operating Expense and Operating Growth (7%) Guidelines. The Operating Expense Guideline tracks operating expenses as a percentage of projected tax revenue. The ratio for the proposed FY2009-10 budget is 50.6%, but is expected to be 49% assuming actual operating expenditures at 97%. The District's Operating Growth Guideline limits the average annual growth in operating expenses to 7%. The proposed FY2009-10 $13,500,000 operating budget is $I99,411 under the 7% growth guideline of$13,699,412. Assuming 97% actual expenditures during the fiscal year, the District would be under the 7% growth guideline by $405,000. R-09-42 2 After reviewing the proposed individual department artment budgets, and incorporating the changes during the budget process, the Guidelines were revisited to confirm that the budget was still within both Guidelines. During the department presentations the following additional Guidelines and documents were presented to the Committee: 1. Capital Improvement Program Guideline 2. Five-Year Staff Facilities Plan Guideline 3. Property Management Annual Income & Expense Budget 4. Operation Department's Five-Year Equipment Schedule 5. Integrated Resource Planning and Management Budget. All Guidelines were met with the exception of the Capital Improvement Program Guideline, which was $32,089 over the target of$700,000 per year averaged over a 5-year period. The Committee found this acceptable given: 1)the proposed projects are important and are an integral part of the Planning Department action plan, and 2)the historical average of actual expenditures versus approved budget for this Guideline is 56% over the last five years. Details of how each Guideline was met were discussed in the initial board report on the proposed FY2009-10 budget(Report R-09-19) as presented at the February 25`" Board meeting. A review of the FY2008-09 Committee recommendations confirmed that all recommendations have been met with the exception of conducting a Board bu dget et workshop with the full Board. ard. The he FY2009-10n Committee had decided to table the Board budget workshop and re-evaluate it i t recommendations. ABC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FY2009-10 The Administration and Budget Committee recommends that the Board: 1. Accept the recommendation of staff to approve the proposed FY2009-10 budget. 2. Direct staff to develop a method to project full operational costs for expected new land purchases. 3. Schedule a special workshop with the full Board to discuss budget ratios and guidelines. FISCAL IMPACT Approval of the proposed FY2009-10 budget by the Board will authorize $44,941,222 to accomplish the District's work plan for FY2009-10. i PUBLIC NOTICE Public notice was provided as required by the Brown Act. No additional notice is required. i R-09-42 3 CEQA COMPLIANCE This proposed action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act and no environmental review is required. NEXT STEPS If approved by the Board, staff will begin implementing the FY2009-10 Action Plan effective April 1, 2009 and the approved FY2009-10 budget. Prepared by: Elaina Cuzick, Principal Management Analyst (acting) Contact person: Curt Riffle, Chair-Administration and Budget Committee I i ji Midpeninsula Regional I Open Space District R-09-45 Meeting 09-08 March 25, 2009 AGENDA ITEM 8B AGENDA ITEM Adopt the Budget for Fiscal Year 2009-2010 including a Two Point Five (2.5) Percent Salary Increase for all General Manager Appointed Employees. GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATIONS I Approve a two point five (2.5) percent salary increase for the Office, Supervisory and Management employees at the beginning of the applicable pay period of April 1, 2009. The five-year Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the represented District Field Employees Association provides a two point five (2.5) salary increase in Year 4, which commences with the 2009-10 fiscal year. 2) Adopt the attached Resolution approving the budget for FY2009-10 and the amendment to the Classification and Compensation Plan (Exhibit A to the Resolution) reflecting the two point five (2.5) percent salary increase for all District employees. DISCUSSION The proposed FY2009-10 budget was presented for initial review at your February 25, 2009 meeting (Report R-09-19). The budget is presented again for your final consideration and approval (see). The $44,941,222 budget breaks down as follows: Table I - District Budget District Budget % of Total Budget Operating Budget Salaries & Benefits $9,998,606 22.25% Services & Supplies $3,501,394 7.79% Total $13,500,000 30.04% 2 Fixed Assets Property $142,027 .3% Management Public $1,101,500 2.5% Access/Planning Staff Facility $915,000 2.0% Improvements Other Special $1,060,000 2.4% Projects Unanticipated CIP $25,000 .005% TOTAL $3,243,527 7.2% LAND PURCHASES $20,378,775 45.3% DEBT SERVICE $7,818,920 17.4% TOTAL, $44,941,222 100% Note: Since the presentation of the initial FY2009-10 budget at your February 251h meeting, a couple of changes in the overall budget have been introduced. First, the operating costs for the Guadalupe Land Company were not included which total $23,575 for the year. This expense is reflected in Table 1 —District Budget, which increased Land Purchases from $20,335,200 to $20,378,775 as shown above, as well as the bottom line from $44,917,647 to $44,941,222. Secondly, $29,146 has been transferred from Salaries and Benefits to Services and Supplies as the Operations department will not be hiring the half-time Seasonal Ranger as discussed at the March 11 th Board meeting(Board report 09-27). Salaries and Benefits was decreased from $10,027,752 to $9,998,606 and Services and Supplies increased from $3,472,248 to $3,501,394. This adjustment did not affect the total operating budget or the bottom line. Further details of the FY2009-10 proposed budget are included in Exhibit B to the Resolution— Budget Summary. Included in the proposed FY2009-10 budget is a two point five (2.5)percent salary increase for all General Manager appointed employees, including the District Field Employees' Association, which was approved by the Board at your meeting of August 9, 2006 (Report R-06-86) as part of a five-year Memorandum of Agreement(MOA) with the represented field employees. At your meeting of August 9, 2006, you also approved certain benefit enhancements for the Office, Supervisor and Management Employees, which are included in this proposed budget. The Office, Supervisory and Management employees of the District are not a represented group. Therefore, any salary adjustment proposed for the non-represented employees is approved annually by the Board of Directors. The General Manager's recommendation included in the attached resolution includes a two point five (2.5)percent salary increase for this group of employees, which is the same as the represented field employees per the MOA. No salary increases for the Board Appointee positions are included in the budget, as the Board approves those, if any, after the appointees' annual evaluations. Any salary increases for Board appointees will then be included in the District's mid-year budget adjustment process. 1 3 FISCAL IMPACT Approval of the proposed FY2009-10 budget by the Board will authorize $44,941,222 in spending to accomplish the District's work plan for the next fiscal year.

DISCUSSION In accordance with Section 1.53 of the District's Rules of Procedure, this list of annual claims for FY2009-2010 is submitted for the Board of Director's review and approval (please see page 2 of report). All proposed annual claim items are appropriated in the proposed FY2009-2010 budget, which was presented to the Board earlier tonight (see report R-09-45). Staff will submit a revised annual claims list during the annual mid-year budget process to reflect any changes that are needed. I Staff is also proposing to add an annual claim recusal statement to be read by the Board President for Directors Hanko and Davey on their economic conflict of interests in AT&T and/or Verizon claims that are currently presented at every regular Board meeting. The purpose of this annual recusal statement is to enable Directors Hanko and Davey to meet their conflict of interest recusal responsibilities with respect to Verizon and AT&T at one annual meeting, rather than being required to repeat the same recusal statement at each regular Board meeting at which claims are presented. If approved, recusals on AT&T and/or Verizon claims by Directors Davey and Hanko will not need to be made at each regular Board meeting. The debt service claims list reflects payments required by current outstanding District debt. Exhibit A lists the District's current debt service annual claims for FY2009-2010, and Exhibit B provides a detailed list of debt service obligations.

These preliminary investigations focused on: 1) the capped well sites and aboveground storage tanks associated with past oil drilling activities; 2) the former and current stock corral areas; and 3) the equipment maintenance area where aboveground storage tanks containing gasoline and diesel were used to fuel ranch vehicles and equipment(Attachment A). The District entered into a contract with Northgate Environmental Management, Inc. (Northgate) in January 2008 to fully characterize the extent of contamination and need for remediation in the Driscoll Ranch area of La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve (see R-08-30). Northgate completed contamination investigations at the former Driscoll Ranch property in December 2008, which included the collection of surface and below ground soil samples within R-09-28 2 the areas of concern, as identified above, as well as an evaluation of the human and environmental risk posed by the contaminants based on continued livestock grazing use and the introduction of low-intensity public use. The results of these investigations and evaluations were presented to the California Regional Water Quality Control Board(RWQCB) in a Remedial g Investigation (RI) Report for review and approval in December 2008. Acting in their capacity as the regulatory oversight agency for the site, the RWQCB reviewed the RI Report and met with District staff and Northgate on January 13, 2009 to discuss recommended changes to the report. The final RI Report, which incorporates these changes, was submitted b the District on January I Y � p g Y 23, 2009 and approved by the RWQCB on February 4 2009. In the RI Report,Northgate concluded that the current site conditions do not present a hazard to either human health or the environment. This conclusion takes into account continued use of the property for cattle grazing and potential introduction of low-intensity recreation as envisioned in the La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve Draft Master Plan. Although remedial measures are w Northgate does recommend additional follow- up not recommended for either soil or groundwater,No g up tasks to prepare the site for public access and ensure that management activities on the do not have a negative impact on either human health or the environment. These property g p recommendations are listed below: Recommendations: 1. Dismantle and remove the remaining infrastructure at the tank farm area, including removal of piping that is buried at shallow depths. 2. Abandon the inactive water supply well in the vicinity of the tank farm area. 3. Remove and dispose of refuse located at the refuse disposal site in the vicinity of the tank farm area and perform confirmation soil sampling to ensure no contamination exists in the soils underlying the disposal site. 4. Prepare a Soil Management Plan to document current soil conditions and define soil handling procedures at the areas of concern. (NOTE: The Soil Management Plan will provide guidance on soil handling, disposal or reuse procedures, and health and safety provisions for workers who might encounter the soils if projects are implemented that disturb soils at these specific locations.) As previously discussed, the RWQCB approved all of the recommendations made by Northgate in the RI Report. Therefore, no remedial measures for soil or groundwater, other than naturally occurring biodegradation, are necessary. The RWQCB requires full implementation of the recommended actions described above prior to introducing public access to the site, and submittal of the Soil Management Plan no later than December 31, 2009 for review and approval. Implementation of these final actions is included as part the Driscoll Ranch Remediation Project, a Key Project in the District's FY2009-10 Action Plan. i R-09-28 3 FISCAL IMPACT The Real Property Department's budget for FY2009-10, which is scheduled for final review and approval by the Board of Directors on March 25, 2009, includes $50,000 for completion of the recommended actions described in this report. The $50,000 project budget will be used to fund the recommended$20,000 contract amendment with Northgate to prepare the required Site Management Plan. Staff anticipates the remaining $30,000 will be sufficient to pay for the implementation of all other remaining final actions, as required by the RWQCB. The District entered into an agreement with Rudy Driscoll Jr. of Driscoll Ranches LLC to compensate the District for expenses incurred during investigation and any subsequent v ICI regulatory compliance actions related to the aboveground tank site at the Lower Ranch Area. According to the Lease Agreement for the property, this site was determined to be the responsibility of Driscoll Ranches LLC. Northgate is separately tracking their expenses for services related to the Lower Ranch Area to facilitate the transmittal of these monthly invoices to Driscoll Ranches LLC for reimbursement. All expenses billed to Rudy Driscoll Jr. by the District to date have been paid. Final invoices for expenses related to the Lower Ranch Area site will be transmitted this month and final reimbursement from Driscoll Ranches LLC is expected by this summer. Total expenses related to the Lower Ranch Area site investigation are 42$13, .79.8 PUBLIC NOTICE Public notice was provided as required by the Brown Act.No additional notice is required. CEQA COMPLIANCE This project consists of additional actions to address soil contamination at the former Driscoll Ranch property, including the completion of a Soil Management Plan and the removal of refuse and abandoned infrastructure on the property. The District concludes that the actions authorized under this contract will not have a significant effect on the environment. It is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under sections 15304, 15306 and 15330 of the CEQA Guidelines as follows: Section 15304 exempts minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation, which do not involve removal of mature, scenic trees except for forestry and agricultural purposes. This project applies under Section 15304 because the recommended actions will involve only minor alteration to previously disturbed areas and will not impact an environmental resource. Section 15306 exempts basic data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation activities that do not result in major disturbances to an environmental resource. This project applies under Section 15306 because the contaminant investigations will involve only basic data collection and minimal disturbance to previously disturbed areas and will not impact an environmental resource. R-09-28 4 Section 15330 exempts minor actions to prevent, minimize, stabilize, mitigate, or el iminate the release or threat or release of hazardous waste or substances. This project applies under Section 15330 because the refuse removal and site cleanup will mitigate the potential for hazardous chemicals at the site. NEXT STEPS The recommended tasks identified in this report will be completed with continued assistance from Northgate. Staff anticipates the completion of all remaining tasks during the upcoming construction season and the completion of the Soil Management Plan by December 31, 2009.

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATIONS ,. Authorize the General Manager to enter into an Agreement with Ecological Concerns Inc., for a total contract amount not to exceed $77,666.02, to perform maintenance and monitoring of native revegetation in Phase I of the Skyline Ridge Tree Farm Restoration Project. The contract will run for three years. I DISCUSSION Landform restoration and replanting of the Phase I Area of the Skyline Ridge Tree Farm Restoration Project was completed in November 2008. Approximately 270 container plantings and 140 acorns were installed, and two (2) acres were seeded with native grass mix. As with many restoration sites, the Phase I area will require active maintenance for the first several years to ensure that native vegetation becomes successfully established. Site maintenance includes hand weeding of planted locations, watering plantings twice per month during the dry season, and controlling invasive species on the site as a whole. Equally important to the success of the restoration project is close monitoring of the site to ensure that it attains specific standards of plant survival, plant health and vigor, and maximizes percent cover by native species. Due to the Skyline Staff s current amount of reoccurring annual maintenance (road/trail repair and brushing, parking lot repair and cleaning, staging area cleaning and brushing, restroom cleaning, etc.) in addition to their many individually scheduled skilled projects, staff does not have the capacity to add another large reoccurring maintenance task to the ongoing work program for the next three years. It is more cost effective to enter into a three-year contract with a landscape maintenance firm to ensure the successful ongoing implementation of regular watering, weeding, and monitoring of this restoration project. Additionally, a multi-year agreement maximizes the efficiency of the contracting process, and ensures that the site receives consistent care within the critical plant establishment period. I r 2 Staff released a Request for Bids in February 2009. A pre-bid meeting was held on site on February 19, 2009. Five (5) contractors attended. Addenda clarifying certain issues that arose after release of the bid package were released on March 9 and March 11, 2009. One sealed bid, from Ecological Concerns, Inc (Santa Cruz, CA) was received on March 16, 2009. Ecological Concerns, formerly known as Central Coast Wilds, is a well-respected landscape contractor firm focusing solely on native habitat restoration. They offer a broad range of services within this field, ranging from seed collection and plant propagation to construction of restoration sites, and have extensive experience in maintaining and monitoring native plantings. Having reviewed the bidder's qualifications, and the bid proposal, staff recommends awarding the contract to Ecological Concerns, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $77,666.02. FISCAL IMPACT The FY2009-10 Budget includes $28,000 for contracted maintenance for the Skyline Ridge Tree Farm Restoration Site. In FY 2010-11 and FY2011-12 expenditures at this same level are anticipated for this key project. i PUBLIC NOTICE Public notice has been provided as required by the Brown Act. No additional public notice is required. CEQA COMPLIANCE A mitigated negative declaration for the Skyline Ridge Tree Farm Restoration Project, including the work under this contract, was prepared by District staff and certified in September 2007 (State Clearinghouse Number 2007092093). NEXT STEPS If approved by the Board, the contractor will begin site maintenance in April, 2009, following issuance of a Notice to Proceed. Quarterly monitoring reports will be submitted to District staff, and an annual monitoring report will be submitted each February.

DISCUSSION The Skyline Field Office Remodel is one of the Key Planning Projects included in the District's FY2009-2010 Action Plan. The project intends to address infrastructure deficiencies, accommodate future projected staff growth, improve staff work environment, and utilize sustainable practices while incorporating cost effective strategies. Four design options have been created to date. Board members have expressed interest in creating an Ad Hoc Committee to review the design, cost, and policy implications of each remodel option before presenting recommendations to the full Board of Directors. Consent of the full Board is needed to create a Facilities Improvement Ad Hoc Committee. If approved by the Board, the President would also like to appoint three Board members to the Committee at tonight's meeting. FISCAL IMPACT The creation of a compensable Facilities Improvement Ad Hoc Committee may have a minor impact to the FY2009-2010 operating budget depending on how many meetings are convened and if the maximum daily ($100) and monthly ($500)compensation limits for all committee and regular/special Board meetings are reached by committee members. Funding was not proposed I R-09-51 Page 2 in the FY2009-2010 budget for a new compensable Board committee, but it is possible the cost may be absorbed by the $25,000 that has been budgeted for Board Director fees next fiscal year. In addition, recommendations from the Ad Hoc Comm ittee p ittee for additional tasks to be completed by the project architect Tanner Hecht may potentially require a contract amendment. The FY2009-2010 project budget, which was presented to the Board of Directors earlier tonight for final approval, includes $445,000 to complete the design, permitting, and bidding phase for the Skyline Field Office Remodel. PUBLIC NOTICE Public notice was provided as required by the Brown Act. No additional notice is required. CEQA COMPLIANCE Staff concludes that creation of an Ad Hoc Committee does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Therefore, the recommended action is exempt. Future action taken by the Board to implement the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendations for the Skyline Field Office Remodel will be subject to CEQA review at that time. NEXT STEPS If approved by the Board, staff will proceed with scheduling the first Facilities Improvement Ad Hoc Committee meeting during the week of April 6, 2009 to begin project discussions.

To: MROSID Board of Directors From: Tina Hugg, Open Space Planner 11 -n4 Date: March 25, 2009 Re: HVAC ductwork repairs Two leaks in the Administration Office ceiling were discovered over Presidents' Day weekend (February 14-16, 2009) and were determined to originate from cracks in the HVAC ductwork on the roof. Monster Mechanical, who performs regular maintenance on the existing system, identified possible repair options and associated costs. Monster Mechanical observed that the HVAC ductwork on the roof has deteriorated over time and cracks have appeared in the metal seams and joints. In addition, ductwork panels that were once convex and shed water are now concave and allow water to pool, leading to rust. It was also observed that the plenums, which enter into the building, have settled over time causing the metal flashing to cave inwards so that water collects around the ductwork. Previous leaks have been attributed to water seeping through metal seams. Monster Mechanical prepared a list of treatment options for staff to consider. Due to the current budget climate and the uncertainties of long-term building occupancy, staff has selected an economical solution, which would last about 5 to 7 years and require periodic maintenance every 2 to 3 years. The work, which is underway, includes scraping out areas of rust, re-sealing seams and cracks with tape, painting over the applied tape, re-flashing the plenums to shed water, painting the ductwork to protect it from poncling water, and installing cross supports to help pull up the concave panels so that they once again shed water properly. The estimate for this work is $7,500. Field staff will complete periodic re-painting of the ductwork every 2 to 3 years. The long-term solution to the deteriorating ductwork is replacement, which Monster Mechanical has estimated to cost between $50,000 and $60,000. In addition, the HVAC unit is expected to reach the end of its useful life span in approximately 7 years. In June 2008, the estimate to replace the unit itself was $92,000. Budgeting for replacement of the HVAC unit and ductwork would need to be considered in 3 or 4 years should the District decide to remain in the current Administrative Office building for longer than 7 years. Next Steps Monster Mechanical will finish completing the selected repairs as described above. ` Midpeninsula Regional Memorandum • " Open Space District To: MROSD Board of Directors From: Tina Hugg, Open Space Planner II Date: March 25, 2009 Re: Update on the Administrative Office Remodel Project This update is being provided to the Board regarding the current status of the remodel project as of March 19, 2009. • City of Los Altos comments regarding the permit drawing set have been addressed and the revised set will be submitted for final approval. • Staff and Tannerhecht have been preparing the Bid Package documents. • Data loggers have been tracking ambient temperatures in a variety of workplace areas that continue to have noticeable and problematic fluctuations.

The Planning Department reviewed the request p( d for a$13,800 contribution and has 1 concluded that the stream gage data provides a direct public benefit to the District by protecting fisheries habitat and water resources on District lands. The District owns and manages 34% of the SG �- Creek watershed and holds water rights in USGS, Watermaster, and SGERC installing the SG Creek basin. low-flow staff plate and turbidity meter. The District has funds available to fund this project through the end of the water ' year under a budget code specifically designated for El Corte de Madera Creek and SG Creek water quality and flow monitoring. Staff recommends District funding of the stream gage to maintain the continuity of this important data set, support anadromous fisheries management, and protect watershed integrity and water quality on the coastside.

These funds combined with District funds will enable continued operation of the stream gage through the end of the current water year. Further dialogue with resource agencies and local political representatives will be needed to secure funding for long- term operation of this stream gage. San Gregorio Stream Gage Funding Request March 2009 Page 2 of 3 f Open Space D Regional Memorandum • • Open Space District Usefulness of the Stream Gage Data The stream gage provides valuable data for the District and its constituents as described below: Protection of Water Q Y ualit and Aquatic Habitat The 2003 Coastal Annexation Area Service Plan (Service Plan) assigns protection of watershed integrity and water quality as one of the District's rim efforts in the Coastside region, a g Y q Y primary g followed immediately by protecting sensitive resources such as special-status species habitats (p. 10). Funding this stream gage supports both of these efforts since: 1. SG Creek is designated as critical habitat for federally threatened steelhead salmon and federally endangered coho salmon; 2. The State Water Quality Control Board has listed SG Creek under Section 303(d)of the Clean Water Act as impaired by sediment; 3. The SG Creek watershed is adjudicated under San Mateo County Superior Court(1993 Decree) and has been assigned a Watermaster. The 1993 Decree does not set minimum flows nor mandates that users provide funds for a stream gage to manage flows; and 4. The CA Coastal Commission identifies SG Creek in the Top 10 of 100 Critical Coastal Areas for preservation and restoration of natural resources due to the presence of protected species, habitat restoration opportunities, large public ownership in the middle and upper reaches (primarily District), and relatively small human population. Protection of Domestic and Agricultural Water Supply The Service Plan also sets Permanent Policy PA.2, which states that the District will work with lessees of District land and owners of land in which the District has an agricultural easement interest to provide technical assistance to secure water rights for the continuation or establishment of viable agriculture consistent with the protection of sensitive habitats (p. 14). Funding this stream gage will help secure and protect existing and future District water rights both for domestic supply and agricultural/conservation grazing use necessary to support District-managed leases within this watershed, including the Driscoll Ranch grazing lease and numerous residential tenant leases. Facilitation of Other Key District Goals and Functions District water rights also facilitate fire protection and pond management by allowing legal water diversions for onsite water storage. Also, water rights can facilitate specific recreational uses and amenities that require water use, such as visitor centers or an environmental education classroom/laboratory. Protection of Public Financial Investment San Gregorio Creek water rights are a property right purchased with taxpayer dollars. Continued gage operation helps protect these public financial investments while supporting biological resources and aquatic habitat. Consistent with District Mission Part of MROSD's mission is `to protect and restore the natural environment'; funding this stream gage supports the mission because without a healthy lower watershed, the fisheries on MROSD land in the upper reaches will be limited or non-existent.

Two other suspects were nearby. Fill units were called because of the dog's aggressive behavior and the lack of cooperation of the owner. The owner admitted he knew his dog was required to be on- leash. Then the owner allowed the dog to lunge twice at the ranger, who pulled but did not extend his baton. The owner reacted by threatening the ranger with physical violence if he touched his dog. The dog owner was cited for"Interfering with a Peace Officer in the Performance of their Duties", while the other two suspects received written warnings. Proper notifications were made to the Operations Manager for the deployment of defensive equipment by a District Ranger. O:\Enforcement Activity Reports\2009 Monthly Summaries\February 2009-Monthly Enforcement Summary.doc I 7 A vehicle was found parked off of Page Mill Road at Monte kilo OSP, between MB05 and MB04. Two subjects were contacted inside the preserve who told the ranger they were just out hiking. Suspicious, the Ranger walked along the disc line and waited for both subjects, who eventually walked out of the brush, each carrying a rifle. The Ranger confiscated their rifles and a pocket knife. Both subjects were cited for firearms prohibited. San Mateo and Santa Clara Sheriff Departments responded, determined the guns had not been fired, and returned the guns to the subjects, upon releasing them. 18 A visitor to lower Purisima Creek OSP called the Skyline Field Office and reported seeing a dead puppy in a box about '/2 mile up the Purisima Creek Road. Rangers met the visitor and located a box with a dead cat at the location reported. Animal Control was called and they took possession of both the box and the cat. A letter thanking the rangers for their compassionate response has since been received and placed in their personnel file. 19 The Los Gatos Police Department received a report that teenagers had been seen digging holes on the Jones Trail at St. Joseph's Hill OSP. A responding District Ranger found bicycle jumps had been constructed along the side of the trail. No suspects were located and the jumps were removed. 24 District rangers were called to assist with capturing an Emu that had escaped from a residence in the Portoia Heights Area, near Long Ridge OSP. The Emu was located and captured in the preserve. The owner was issued a Written Warning for"other pets prohibited." 26 District maintenance staff discovered vehicle tire tracks in the grassland at Bear Creek Redwoods OSP. Ranger staff located the tracks and an open gate adjacent to Highway 17. The chain had been cut to allow entry. 26 Two construction workers heard a woman calling for help, down a drainage in Monte Bello OSP. The woman had been outside in the rain since she got her vehicle stuck in the mud two days earlier off of Monte Bello Road. She advised she had a dog that belonged to a friend that was no longer with her. After Palo Alto Fire evaluated her, she and her vehicle were taken to the dog owner's residence. She was arrested for grand theft of the dog by Santa Clara Sheriffs Dept. The resident/owner of the dog was taken by rangers to the trail, where the dog was safely located and returned. 28 Two adults and a juvenile were cited for entering the Almaden Air Force Station in Sierra Azul OSP.
