Mr. Jaskulak commented staff has been discussing this topic and developing potential funding
plans. The Board may want to continue this discussion in the future.
Director Riffle commented on the higher visitation rates since the start of the COVID-19
pandemic stating he does not think this visitation will lessen in the future. Director Riffle also
commented on the impact of climate changes through wildfire, drought, and the impact on
biodiversity stating the District should remain focused on all three areas and not just the most
pressing. Finally, Director Riffle commented that the focus on diversity, inclusion and awareness
should continue to be a key theme and focus at the District.
Director Kersteen-Tucker commented on the potential long-term impact of continued remote
working leading to fatigue for employees and suggested the District may be able to adapt to a
remote/in-office hybrid approach to work once staff returns to the office.
Mr. Jaskulak reported on some of the measures being taken by the District to combat employee
fatigue and stated staff will be returning at a future meeting with options for incorporating
lessons learned from remote working into the District’s work culture.
Director Kishimoto suggested the District can help promote open space as a way to unite people
of all backgrounds. Additionally, climate change continues to be a driving theme for the District
and suggested it may need to be its own goal with associated objectives in the strategic plan.

focus on fuel-reduction projects.
Mr. Jaskulak reported only preliminary conversations are occurring, and staff will report back to
the Board to receive direction once options are developed.

partner funding, such as the Highway 17 crossings. Partner funding for this type of projects
could potentially be delayed and impact project timelines.
Director Siemens commented on the need to increase the amount of parking for future projects in
anticipation of higher visitor use. Director Siemens also suggested the new administrative office
space may not all be needed for staff if more members of staff continue to work from home more
than before, stating additional space could be leased.
Director Riffle suggested additional focus and attention is needed on promoting various means of
accessing District preserves, including public transportation, bicycles, and virtual visitation.
Director Riffle commented on the work of the La Honda Public Access Working Group and the
large amount of staff time and support needed to support this effort. Increased engagement of the
coastside areas is needed as a large number of upcoming District projects are located in that area.
Meeting 20-28 Page 4
General Manager Ana Ruiz commented on the impact of remote working on District staff and
the need to be mindful of what new initiatives are added for the upcoming fiscal year. Ms. Ruiz
also provided responses to District comments, including the need to examine parking capacity at

District partnerships.
President Holman suggested the District may want to consider partnering or collaborating with
corporate partners for potential parking areas for shuttles, ideas to address employee fatigue, etc.
President Holman suggested holding a volunteer and docent charette to promote personal
interaction among them and suggested socially distant, small group gatherings with docents at
the preserves once it is safe to do so.
The members of the Board commented on the incredible job being done by staff in adapting to
the remote and changed working environment. President Holman suggested the District should
consider reducing the number of projects or initiatives in response to the current working
environment.
Director Kersteen-Tucker suggested expanding the District’s partnerships with the agricultural
communities and partner organizations on the Coast.
Ms. Ruiz commented corporate partnerships will be considered as the District continues its work
to expand multi-modal access to preserves and that coastside outreach would include the

Ms. Chan, Mr. Jaskulak, and Mr. Malone described potential focus areas for fiscal year 2021-22
(FY22), including preparations for the new administrative office, post-COVID adjustments,
adequate staff support and resources for wildfire resiliency efforts, management and response to
higher preserve use, net-zero impacts and resource management priorities, evaluation of e-bike
use, and fiftieth anniversary planning and activities.
Director Cyr inquired regarding the flexibility of the new administrative office to adjust with a
potential shift toward greater levels of remote working by staff.
Ms. Ruiz reported staff is looking at options for increasing flexibility to maximize the amount of
office space that may be leased and to maximize the efficiency of the District-allocated office
space.
Director Kishimoto suggested the District may want to reconsider the options for public
comment during virtual meetings to allow for live audio comment for the public.
Ms. Woodworth commented that at the beginning of the virtual meetings, staff and the Board
were concerned with the security of the meetings and the potential for “Zoom-bombing,” which
was prevalent in many public agency meetings. The virtual meeting technology allows for live
audio comment if the Board would like to provide additional direction on this topic.
The Board directed staff to bring forward an agenda item on this topic to a future Board meeting.
Director Kersteen-Tucker inquired how the District was taking steps to retain current District
employees.
Ms. Ruiz reported on wellness trainings offered by the District, adjustment of work schedules to
fit employee schedules, reduction of employee work hours upon request, etc.

to connect with new employees, ongoing retention of employees, and frequent communication
with staff regarding changes due to COVID-19 to provide a sense of stability.
President Holman inquired regarding options for balancing additional staff to support wildfire
resiliency against potentially delaying other District projects if current staff is reallocated to
wildfire resiliency efforts.
Mr. Malone commented on potential options, including additional staff to oversee fuel
management projects, additional grant funding, shifting project priorities away from Measure
AA projects, etc.
Director Siemens suggested additional staff may be needed soon in order to support fuel
management and wildfire resiliency projects rather than wait to hire them later.

on District preserves.
Director Riffle commented on higher visitation rates and the impact of new preserve users on
staff capacity to meet visitor needs. Director Riffle suggested a working group of various
preserve users may be helpful in examining the topic of e-bike use at District preserves due to
the various opinions of users and stated the public is eager to have additional guidance on this
topic.
Director Kersteen-Tucker inquired regarding the report on the carrying capacity of preserves as
studied by the Science Advisory Panel (SAP) will be presented.
Mr. Malone reported the SAP is studying the impact of public access and also the positive
benefits of public access.
Natural Resources Manager Kirk Lenington reported staff plans to bring the information from
the SAP in summer 2021.
Director Kersteen-Tucker suggested working with other organizations on the e-bike pilot
program to help inform regional e-bike usage and to potentially shorten the timeline for the
project. Additional data is needed to understand the impact on unpaved trails and supports
allowing e-bikes on paved trails, which are often used as a commute route.
Director Siemens suggested prioritizing the e-bike pilot project to allow the District to give
additional guidance on the topic sooner.
Director Hassett spoke regarding the impact of high visitation on preserve neighbors, including
overflow parking negatively impacting neighbors. Director Hassett also spoke in favor of
prioritizing the e-bike pilot project.
Director Kishimoto spoke in favor of taking a measured approach to e-bike regulations rather
than prioritizing the pilot project over other District projects.
Meeting 20-28 Page 7
Directors Riffle and Kishimoto spoke in favor of focusing on the work at Lehigh Quarry
including continuing the ad hoc committee.
President Holman spoke in favor of net zero impacts from District projects and stated impacts
may need to be studied on a localized level and part of the focus should be avoiding impacts and
raising consciousness regarding the impacts of projects.

regarding the timeline for the e-bike pilot program.

AGENDA ITEM 3
AGENDA ITEM
Amendments to the Conflict of Interest Code
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution amending the Conflict of Interest Code to make minor updates to the list of
positions required to file Form 700 (Statement of Economic Interests).
SUMMARY
State law requires all public agencies, including the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District
(District), to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code (Code) and update it biennially. The Code
designates positions required to file Form 700 - Statement of Economic Interests, which is a
public document intended to identify the staff members who are involved in making final
decisions that bind the District. The District’s clerk, legal department, and human resources
department have identified some minor updates to the list of positions in the District’s Code.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to Government Code Section 87306.5, every two years the District is required to review
its Conflict of Interest Code (Code) and submit a notice to the code-reviewing body, the
California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). The Code lists District employees who
must file Form 700, in which they are required to disclose economic interests in certain entities
that are engaged in business with the District.
The list of designated positions contains employee classifications that are involved or participate
in making decisions that may foreseeably have a material effect on personal financial interests,

AGENDA ITEM 4
AGENDA ITEM
50th Anniversary Celebration Preparations
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATIONS
Discuss approaches for and provide input on options for Board involvement and timely decisions
as planning progresses, including options to guide staff with resource decisions, consideration of
Board liaisons for planning key components, and mechanisms for public input and partner
coordination, etc.
SUMMARY
In 2022, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (Midpen) will celebrate 50 years of
open space preservation, natural resource protection and ecologically sensitive public access.
Plans are under development to commemorate the milestone with a year-long celebration of
Midpen’s founding, evolution and accomplishments to connect constituents to the next 50 years
of open space preservation, natural resource protection and ecologically sensitive public
recreation. This item was previously discussed by the Legislative, Funding, and Public Affairs
Committee (LFPAC) on November 17. The General Manager and LFPAC recommend that the
Board of Directors (Board) review and provide input on the proposed celebratory priorities for
the 50th anniversary and consider formation of an ad hoc committee to guide the event
preparations. At the December 9, 2020 Board meeting, the Board voted to continue this item to
December 16, 2020, to allow for a more robust discussion on the options for Board involvement
in the planning and decision-making process.
DISCUSSION
Founded by voter passage of Measure R in 1972, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space
District will celebrate 50 years of accomplishments in 2022. To mark the occasion, staff has
initiated planning for a series of events throughout the 2022 calendar year. This milestone
anniversary provides an opportunity to celebrate the agency’s founding, evolution and
accomplishments and look forward to the next 50 years. A key objective for sharing Midpen’s
legacy story widely is to increase public awareness and positive regard for the agency, deepen a
collective understanding of why open space is important, and engage and celebrate our diverse
partners, volunteers, Board and staff for our collective accomplishments. See Attachment 1 for
the proposed scope of priority elements to be included in the anniversary year celebration.
The following are highlights of the anniversary celebration plan:
R-20-148 Page 2
• ANNIVERSARY LOGO – to give a cohesive brand to celebration materials.
• SCIENCE SYMPOSIUM – A science-themed symposium convened by Midpen could
allow researchers, land managers, partners and the public to discuss the latest findings in
natural resource management, such as wildlife connectivity, vegetation management, fire
resilience, ecosystem protection, GIS mapping, Sudden Oak Death and more. Following
the symposium, an inclusive anniversary gathering for diverse partners can serve as a
capstone to the celebration with speakers, honorees or awards.
• FILM/VIDEO – A professionally produced documentary on “The Preservation of Public
Open Space” could help people understand the benefits and complexities of preserving
and maintaining open space. Ideally, the full-length film could be featured on local
broadcast television, though we will produce as separate segments of approximately 10
minutes to be used online and in other ways.
• EXPANDED OUTREACH - Anniversary-themed outreach events and activities will be
interspersed throughout the year as a foundational element of the public celebration. We
will increase the amount of tabling we do throughout the District at community events
and in preserves. Anniversary-themed docent-led hikes, a hike/visit challenge and
partnership events, such as community rides, will be considered.
• MEDIA SUPPORT – a cohesive plan for both earned and paid media to promote events
and stories related to the 50th Anniversary, through advertising, briefings and news
releases.
The Board’s review of and input on the full suite of ideas being proposed will help staff properly
scope, resource load and budget for a successful celebration of 50 years of accomplishments in
open space preservation, natural resource protection and ecologically sensitive public access. In
addition, the Board is asked to consider formation of an ad hoc committee to help provide timely
guidance as part of the preparations. As this work proceeds, decisions will need to be made in
quick fashion to ensure that all the preparations are completed on time and within budget.
FISCAL IMPACT
Budgeting will begin upon finalization of the scope. The FY21 budget includes $15,000 for
anniversary planning. This initial funding is proposed to cover graphic design and approximately
three months of professional service consultant fees for event planning and video production
assistance. Initial ballpark budget expectations will be developed for the items outlined in
Attachment 1. If a symposium and/or celebratory gathering is pursued, costs can be significantly
offset by entrance fees and sponsorships. Actual budgets will be developed with consultant
assistance as the scope evolves.
BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW
This item was reviewed by the Legislative, Funding and Public Affairs Committee on November
17, 2020. The Committee suggested adding bus tours similar to those created for the Special
Park District Forum in 2019 to allow partners to visit Midpen preserves and project. The scope
document has been updated to show that this may potentially be accomplished by adding mobile
workshops to the symposium. The Committee also discussed adding VIP tours, partner
celebrations and the potential to solicit additional funding support from partners or corporate
R-20-148 Page 3
sponsors. Discussion also included opportunities to tie-in an open house for the new
administrative office and the potential to name a trail in honor of Green Foothills founder Lennie
Roberts who has been instrumental in Midpen’s success. The Committee discussed an
appropriate budget range of $200,000 to $400,000 and supported the formation of an ad hoc
committee of the Board to provide continued involvement and timely decisions as planning
progresses.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice was provided as required by the Brown Act.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
This item is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act.
NEXT STEPS
Upon Board approval, staff will move forward with releasing requests for proposals for event
planning assistance and video production with the goal of beginning engagements in April to
finalize the anniversary plan scope, timeline and budget in June 2021.

AGENDA ITEM 6
AGENDA ITEM
Reject All Bids for the Administrative Office Project located at 5050 El Camino Real, Los Altos, CA
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATIONS
1.Reject all bids received for the 5050 El Camino Real Administrative Office Project.
2.Authorize the General Manager to re-solicit bids from the list of prequalified contractors.
SUMMARY
The purpose of the 5050 El Camino Real Administrative Office Project (Project) is to repurpose
an existing commercial office building located at 5050 El Camino Real in Los Altos, CA for use
as the main administrative office for the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District).
The main scope of work includes interior insulation, interior building system upgrades including
a new energy-efficient heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) system, exterior building re-
siding and roof repairs, rooftop solar panels, plumbing repairs and upgrades, re-paving and
parking re-striping, electric vehicle charging stations, drainage and utility improvements, and
interior space reconfiguration to accommodate open work areas and space to host public
meetings and public gatherings.
District staff issued a Request for Bids to eleven (11) prequalified contractors on November 2,
2020 and received four (4) bid proposals on November 30, 2020. After a careful review of the
bids, the General Manager recommends rejecting all bids and soliciting new bids to complete the
project, pursuant to state law.
BACKGROUND
Contractor Pre-Qualification Process
On August 20, 2020, staff released a contractor pre-qualification solicitation on BidSync.com to
solicit interested contractors. Staff also reached out to six (6) firms via email and phone calls.
Seventeen (17) general building contractors submitted qualification packets on September 10,
2020. The pre-qualification solicitation was also published in the newspaper per the District’s
public bidding process, pursuant to Public Resources Code section 5594. On November 18,
2020, the results of the pre-qualification process and a list of eleven (11) pre-qualified
contractors was presented to the Board through an FYI memo.
R-20-150 Page 2
DISCUSSION
A Request for Bids was issued on November 2, 2020 to the 11 prequalified contractors and the
documents were uploaded to BidSync. As legal notices were posted in the San Jose Mercury
News and San Mateo County Times and on the District website during the contractor pre-
qualification process, additional legal notices were not required for this Request for Bids. A non-
mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on November 16, 2020 with nine total contractors in
attendance.
The District publicly opened the bids on November 30, 2020. Upon careful review of all of the
Bid Proposals, staff together with the General Manager determined that it would be in the best
interest of the District to reject all bids and re-solicit bids from the list of prequalified
contractors.
Public Resources Code section 5594 provides that the Board may reject all bids and re-advertise.
Proposed Re-Bid
Staff will coordinate with the prequalified bidders to re-solicit bids for the project on a timeline
that will facilitate overall adherence with the project schedule as closely as possible.
FISCAL IMPACT
Rejection of bids results has no fiscal impact to the District’s budget.
BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW
No Committee review has previously occurred for the recommended award of contract.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice was provided as required by the Brown Act.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
In accordance with the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the
proposed project is categorically exempt from CEQA under Section 15301, Existing Facilities.
This exemption consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, or minor alteration of
existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, involving negligible or no
expansion of existing or former use and allows an increase up to a 2,500 square feet addition.
The scope of work for this project is consistent with the description of this exemption.
NEXT STEPS
Upon approval by the Board of Directors, the General Manager will reject all bids and re-bid the
Project. The Board will consider award of contract at a meeting in early 2021.
