C. Britton gave some history about the property and area to be discussed, stating
that earnest negotiations began in 2002. He then turned the staff presentation over
to D. Woods. D. Woods presented a PowerPoint slide show starting with the
components of the project and reviewing a map of the areas involved—
specifically what areas would be exchanges, and the conservation and trail
easements. He stated that as part of the exchange, there would be a $2 million
financial guarantee from Hanson. The financial guarantee would be in place after
Meeting 06-17 Page 3
the stabilization plan was in place and would guarantee financial restitution to the
District if any land movement occurred after the stabilization work was
completed.
C. Britton said that balloon analysis helped determine the"Area A" and "Area B"
lines. D. Woods said that no trees would be removed from the area(s). D. Woods
reviewed the property the District would receive, showing the 61-acre parcel and
the 46-acre parcel, outlining the PG&E roads, which follow the PG&E, towers on
the land. C. Britton said that PG&E will retain a right to use the road, but the
District will own the road and it will complete the trail connections at the
Preserve.
D. Woods pointed out that this property was an important link to the regional trail
system. This project will give the District control of Montebello Road. He
reiterated that PG&E would retain a right to use the road to maintain their
equipment and towers.
M. Williams reviewed the terms of the exchange agreement adding that approval
of this item requires a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors.
J. Cyr asked what might trigger cancellation of the financial guarantee. D. Woods
responded that it would be the District's receipt of a satisfactory ridgeline
easement. There is a County ridgeline easement, but it does not include the
ridgeline the District owns. J. Cyr asked other clarifying questions which were
answered by S. Schectman.
K. Nitz asked how far apart the monuments would be. D. Woods said that it was
up to the District to decide the distance between monuments. K. Nitz asked what
the monuments looked like and D. Woods said they would be 2-inch pipes.
K. Nitz asked how many monuments needed to move and how far the movement
needed to be. D. Woods answered that only one monument needs to move and
that the minimum movement is 10 feet. C. Britton added that the movement
could be in any direction toward the quarry(including movement caused by an
earthquake). District staff will monitor the monuments 4 times per year or with
24-hour notice to the Quarry if the District feels they need to view an area.
D. Woods gave clarifying answers on how the monument movement and possible
failure might occur adding that the District would use the help of a geo-technical
consultant.
N. Hanko asked S. Schectman about language in the staff report and S. Schectman
said the language she was looking for was only in the attached Resolution.
Meeting 06-17 Page 4
D. Little asked if the $2 million guarantee was the upper limit. D. Woods said it
was if the slope failure goes past the B-line, the $2 million is the top limit;
however, once that limit is reached the Conservation Easement would enable the
District to get relief from the Quarry.
Motion: L. Hassett moved that the Board adopt the proposed exchange of
real property at Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve for
additions Of Hanson Permanente Cement property to Rancho San
Antonio and Monte Bello Open Space Preserves (Santa Clara

N. Hanko reviewed the Legislative, Funding and Public Affairs Committee's
report. She said there were several meetings discussing the best site for the Lois
Crozier-Hogle memorial bench, deciding that the best place was a highly used
trail with a high point and good visibility. She gave background information as to
why Crozier-Hogle deserved a memorial bench, the main reason being that she
was a founder of the Committee for Green Foothills (CGF).
C. Britton introduced Holly Van Houten, the new Executive Director, who was
sitting in the audience and he said that CGF would provide the overall cost of the
bench and pay for its installation.

project,but an important trail connection. He also acknowledged G. Betz who
was sitting in the audience.
J. Roddenberry reviewed the staff report by showing a PowerPoint slide
presentation. He gave the regional context of the project. This would be the first
connection with Palo Alto's Foothills Park allowed by a change in the policy at
Foothill's Park to allow non-Palo Alto residence entrance to the park. The trail
connects Los Trancos Open Space Preserve to Foothills Park, providing a
connection to the Bay Area Ridge Trail. Staff worked with Palo Alto Open Space
to make sure that the trail connection worked for them as well. The trail
connection will be a hiking-only trail to stay consistent with Foothills Park trail
use. J. Roddenberry showed photos of the trail and property area of the project.
G. Betts addressed the Board, stating that the City of Palo Alto's Council voted
unanimously for this trail proposal. He applauded staff on the proposed trail
alignment.
L. Hassett asked clarifying questions regarding non-Palo Alto residents entering
Foothills Park. G. Betts said that Palo Alto staff would carefully monitor the use
of the new trail alignment.
L. Hassett had concern that the equestrian trail led up to the new trail; however
there was not a loop trail for the equestrians,just a dead-end. J. Roddenberry said
the trail did dead-end; however staff felt there was not much equestrian usage and
that there is an exit through a neighboring property.

N. Hanko said that she thought this was a good opportunity to start the project
fresh.
K. Nitz asked what Jakaby's intent was and M. Manning said that Jakaby was an
engineer and that it was not the intent to limit to one manufacturer. D. Simmons
clarified the legal view of the language omitted.
K. Nitz wanted to know if the permitting process had already begun. M. Manning
said that they have been awarded the Resource Agency permits and that it is
staff s hope that the agency will extend the permits to next season. P. Siemens
asked if San Mateo County Planning was holding up permits for the project. M.
Manning replied that due to staffing changes, they are looking to streamline the
permit process between agencies.

it is routine. K. Nitz also asked if the bidders were required to have a bid bond

Schectman said she did not feel it raised valid issues and that there
were more issues involved.
J. Cyr was concerned that the timing for this project is late into the
season and he was bothered that there were no permits in place yet.
C. Britton said that there had been difficulty in obtaining San
Mateo County P
un permits. M. Freeman gave more background on the

County Planning Director and they are working on getting a staff
