Action Plan for the Implementation of the Basic Policy of the Midpeninsul
Regional Open Space District•, Accept Staff's Program Evaluation Report of the
Fiscal Year 2007-08 Action Plan—(Report R- 8-73)
S. Abbors introduced the staff report reviewing the 2007-2008 Action Plan.
N. Hanko said that this is the first time the Board had reviewed the previous
year's action plan and she said she understood it should be done with S. Abhors
being new. She suggested that if they will be reviewing the previous year's action
plans in the future that the review comes before the new action plan is presented
so that the Board can review what was done in the past year and what was not
completed. S. Abbors said he could look at the timing. He said he reviewed the
minutes from 2007 and said that a review of the action plan had occurred in early
May 2007. He said he understood what she was requesting and said that staff will
be looking at ways to better streamline the process and reporting.
K. Nitz said it would be difficult to do because the year is not finished and staff
needs to begin looking into the next year's planning,
C. Riffle said lie had a similar thought as N. Hanko and explained how he was
doing something similar with his day job. He said having this document earlier
would help the Board as a tool in evaluating the Board Appointees and what was
accomplished.
C. Riffle said he noticed that there were several items that were not commented
on and he asked if those items were not done, or did S. Abbors just ask staff`to
focus on the key projects. S. Abbors said he asked staff to focus on the key
projects and not focus on each item.
P. Siemens said that it seems like they have two reports and maybe they can make
do with one report. He said in one report they can evaluate what happened and
3
also propose what will be done in the next year. S. Abbors said that in a strategic
planning model there is an adjustment each year.
Real Property Department. M. Williams began his presentation by reviewing the
progress under the New Land Commitments heading. He reviewed the highlights
under the Property Management Program heading and he said the negotiated lease
amendment for one of the houses on Driscoll Ranch was important because it
provided a staff facility on that property. He said that they also entered into a
couple of grazing leases, which involved working with the Operations and
Planning department staff.
P. Siemens asked about the work done on the lease for the Bear Creek Stables.
M. Williams said that in the prior fiscal year, work was done on that lease. but not
a lot of work was done during the last fiscal year due to being short staffed.
K. Nitz referred to page 5, number 4 and asked for clarification about the
Williamson Act. M. Williams said that in unincorporated Santa Clara County, the
Williamson Act contracts are done with the county; but if the Williamson Act
contracts are in a town or city, that jurisdiction oversees the contracts. K. Nitz
asked why San Mateo County was not included. M. Williams said that it is a
much more complex issue.
K. Nitz referred to page 6, number 10 asked if anything happened about
cataloging information because it seems like an important item. M. Williams said
that the information is entered into the real property database and it has been
integrated with the Planning department's GIS database.
C. Riffle commented that the department did a lot of work. He said that it looks
like the District has received over $9.2 million in grants over the last year. M.
Williams said that this was certainly a big year and POST was very instrumental
in getting the largest grant.
C. Riffle asked when D. Woods retired and M. Williams said he retired in
December 2006. C. Riffle suggested that the District's historical kiiowledgc that
D. Woods has should be captured on tape and he asked how that could be
accomplished. S. Abbors said he would look into it.
K. Nitz referred to page 11, number 3 and said that the progress bullet did not
mention purchasing the Hicks Creek Stables property. M. Williams clarified that
the Board approved the purchase this fiscal year, but much of the planning and
due diligence was done in the previous fiscal year. S. Abbors further clarified that
the K. Nitz wanted the word "acquisition" added to the list as a possible method
to resolve encroachments. K. Nitz agreed.
K. Nitz referred to page 12, number 7 and asked if a procedural guide for
encroachment was developed. M. Williams said that M. Reeves was working on
the document.
4
K. Nitz referred to page 12, number 8 and asked about the Use and Management
Planning Process. S. Schectman said that this in the Legal Action Plan and she
gave an update about the project.
P. Siemens asked about the rental house on Driscoll and about the water system.
He asked if a new well was dug, or if the water for the house was tied into the
water system for the other structures. M. Williams said that after more testing it
looks like they may be able to use the existing well and gave detailed information.
Planning Department. M. Freeman reviewed the Planning Department's
p
accomplishments on projects during the past fiscal year. He said that one of the
major accomplishments was in staffing by filling four essential vacancies. Under
Long Range Planning he referred to the Coastside Protection Program. M.
Freeman said that both master plans kept the ad hoc committees busy throughout
the year.
N. Hanko suggested that the whole Board be able to attend an ad hoc committee
meeting discussing a master plan because it would have great value to have the
full Board attend. She said that Board members not assigned to a particular ad
hoc committee would otherwise get the information "cold". S. Schectman said
that if a quorum of the Board attends an ad hoc committee meeting it became a
full Board meeting requiring public notice. In contrast, non-committee Board
members can attend as observers only. M. Freeman said he understood what the
Board members were asking and that he would work on a meeting format that
would involve the full Board. S. Abbors said they could work on a calendar
showing upcoming committee meetings. P. Siemens suggested having a calendar
accessible on the website and S. Abbors said the staff could make possible.
M. Freeman said that the Resource Management Strategic Planning was the most
substantial inter-departmental effort they worked on. He was pleased how well
the fire management policy review went considering it is a controversial topic.
M. Freeman reviewed the highlights under Conservation Grazing, including plans
for Skyline and Tunitas. He said that over time it will show that grazing is
benefiting valuable agricultural resources. M. Freeman gave project updates for
the Public Access Improvements.
C. Riffle referred to page 9 and thanked M. Freeman for listing all of the
unanticipated projects. He said that was a real eye-opener. C. Riffle referred to
page 2 and the deferred Basic Policy revision and said he did not see it in the 08-
09 Action Plan and asked if it was deferred until the 09-10 Action Plan, M.
Freeman said that was correct and gave the reasons.
M. Davey said it was a remarkable achievement to add the twenty unanticipated
projects on top of the work Planning already was doing and she complemented
the staff on doing so well.
J. Cyr said that planning is critical in having a long range plan for the master plan
of preserve. There were big chunks of new property that dove-tailed into the
5
master planning process. He said the master planning is resource based,
intelligent, and worth the effort.
K. Nitz referred to page 2, number I and asked if the LAFCo requirements
regarding the basic Policies for the Coastside Protection Program needed to be
done by a certain date. S. Schectman said that there was not a date stated in the
LAFCo decision regarding the due date for a Basic Policy update.
K. Nitz referred to page 2, number 3 regarding the Thornewood resource
assessment plan and asked if that was something S. Schectman had been referring
to previously. M. Freeman said that S. Schectman was talking about an update of
the Use and Management Planning Process. M. Freeman said that staff had done
a comprehensive Use and Management Amendment that was a review of trail
opportunities throughout the whole preserve.
K. Nitz referred to page 3, number 4 and asked if staff is plotting the invasive
plants into the GIS. M. Freeman affirmed.
K. Nitz referred to page 3, number 5 and asked for an explanation of the Best
Management Practices and asked if that was the same as number 4 in the
Operation's Manual. M. Freeman said that this was a joint project with the
Operations Department.
L. Hassett asked when the Shilling Lake assessment would be coming to the
Board. M. Freeman said that there is a very preliminary draft document that has
been received. He said he thought the document might be ready to come before
the Board in August, L. Hassett said his main concern about this project would be
connected to problems above the dam. He said he hoped that the Legal
Department would review any document before it came to the full Board.
L. Hassett asked for clarification about the start of the Thornewood project and
whether the work would begin in a few months. M. Freeman said that staff is
ready to go now, but the hold up is finalizing the grant and getting the grant
funding. He said they have all of the permits to do the project. P. Siemens asked
about the amount of the grants. M. Freeman said they were $180,000.00.
P. Siemens asked if the no parking signs would be installed at the same time the
work begins at the El Sereno parking lot that is about to start. M. Freeman said
the NO parking signs would be installed at the same time.
Operations Department. D. Sanguinetti said the Operations plan update would be
presented in two parts, first with the field information presented by him and
second would be the resource management area presented by C. Roessler. He
reviewed the new positions added to the Operations Department. D. Sanguinetti
reviewed phase four of the El Corte de Madera Creek Watershed Protection Plan.
He said that the Skyline crew enjoy working on this project. He said the crew had
also laid out the North Leaf Trail and said the bicycle community is appreciative
of this project.
6
L. Hassett said he wanted to compliment the Bridle Trail at Dennis Martin. He
said he was on the trail, and said it resolved the issue of a trail being right up
against private property. He said C. Beckman did a phenomenal job laying out
the new trail.
C. Riffle complimented the Operations staff and in particular D. Sanguinetti for
transitioning into his new position as the Operations Manager.
i
K. Nitz referred to page 2, number 2 and asked about the new digital radios and if
the project moved forward. D. Topley replied and gave an update on what was
accomplished last year. He said a pilot program was tried out and proved to be
successful. Ile said they are trying to obtain a second frequency, but this could
take several years to obtain. D. Topley said that they are still on target to meet the
three-year project timeline, however, he added that they may need to go out to
five years. P. Siemens asked if the District would purchase more mobile repeaters
since they work. D. Topley said their goal is to go out to bid for proposals to have
one person to do the whole project.
Board members complimented staff on the inter-departmental staff cooperation
that has occurred to accomplish the number of projects that are being worked on.
Resource Management Program. C. Roessler presented the programs projects,
highlighting several key projects. She reviewed the five-year strategic plan and
said this project was worked on by several departments. She said that staff
focused on eight major areas included forest and fire management, grassland
management and grazing, vegetation management, water quality protection,
cultural resources, public outreach and coordination among other departments.
She reviewed staff s work on Sudden Oak Death, including monitoring outbreaks
of Sudden Oak Death and public education outreach efforts.
N. Hanko said she had heard that earthquake disturbance of the earth was injuring
the trees' roots and asked if that was possible. C. Roessler said that they are
hiring a tree pathologist who is both a specialist on Sudden Oak Death and
specializes in root diseases of oak trees.
C. Roessler reviewed the Slender False Brome treatment program and public
outreach efforts. She said they submitted a grant application to fund the public
outreach and treatment on private property. The District received $18,000 from
that grant. N. Hanko asked if taking photographs from year to year would help
and C. Roessler said that they do some photo-monitoring.
K. Nitz asked for clarification about putting the information in GIS. C. Roessler
said that some of the information is in the GIS in polygons that represent size. and
those are areas that are very large, other areas are input as dots to indicate the
general locations.
N. Hanko asked if staff could give a tour of the Russian Ridge area that has been
burned so that they could see first hand the work being done at that preserve. C.
7
Roessler said that they can lead a tour, but that the Board members could go to the
site on their own and she gave directions where to park. She described what they
would see. S. Abbors said that staff would put together a tour for the Board and,
as part of their management retreat, they will look at what a comprehensive
monitoring program is going to cost.
C. Roessler said that staff worked very closely with Public Affairs to develop the
ARMS (Advanced Resource Management Squads) Volunteer program. The
ARMS program will allow individual volunteers to work on a designated project
on their own, without District staff.
L. Hassett commented on the slender false broom project public outreach project.
He said they have hit a bottleneck with the environmental review. He said that
the District has not communicated well with the Old La Honda Road Association
about where the District is in the process. He said he was still receiving questions
from that group. C. Roessler said that she is in contact with a representative of
the association.
G. Baillie introduced a new Operations staff member, Sonya Morrison, as the
half-time training coordinator. Ms. Morrison said she was very excited to work at
the District and that she loves her job. The Board welcomed her.

department's accomplishments. He said the first installment of the Visitor
Estimate Survey project on eight preserves and currently the second installment is
taking place on eight more preserves. He reviewed the ARMS program and its
implementation. He spoke about the new District logo. Mt. UmunIlLini has been
revitalized and staff is collecting letters of support, and he gave information about
what is happening with the project in Washington, DC. R. Jurgensen said that the
District had held ten big events.
K. Nitz referred to page 3, number 3 and asked when the Good Neighbor Policy
brochure would be available. R. Jurgensen said the brochure is almost completed,
and said that the brochure will go to LFPAC for review and approval.
K. Nitz asked for a small, simple brochure showing all of the District' preserves.
not as large as the Escape to Open Space brochure. R. Jurgensen said that staff
can work this out. K. Nitz asked how many Tails and Trails books were left and
R. Jurgensen said that there are 500 books.
C. Riffle referred to page 11, number 5 and asked who was leading the District
Funding Measure effort, R. Jurgensen said that staff began doing preliminary
research and have determined that it needs to be more broad-based than just the
Public Affairs Department. N. Hanko added that from the polls that were done,
they showed that the public was not ready for a funding measure. R. Jurgensen
said that staff received information from the public poll and he reviewed some of
what they learned.

reviewed some key projects including District Funding and budgeting. He
complimented E. Cuzick on guiding the budgeting process and M. Foster for his
finance support.
G. Sam said that they made significant progress on the District's information
technology needs. He said that the field offices can now access the District
network and the next plan is to install an intranet which will allow them to access
other forms and files from the internet so that documents will not need to be
transported from office to office. All field staff now have e-mail capability.
G. Sam said that the core quality services were maintained and enhanced in the
Human Resources program. He said staff worked on approximately 25 different
recruitments. G. Sam said they streamlined their recruitment processes.

the work that goes into drafting the letters.
C. Riffle complimented G. Sam's transition into his job. He also wanted to
compliment him, E. Cuzick and staff on the budgeting process. He said he
thought that went well this year. G. Sam said E. Cuzick did an extraordinary job
especially since this was her first time through this process.
Legal Services Program. S. Schectman gave some comments and said that most
of the key projects for Legal have already been mentioned because the Legal
Services Department's key project is to support the other District Departments. S.
Schectman said that they provided transactional and land protection services to
the Real Property department. They also provided assistance in the General
Manager recruitment process. She said that the El Sereno permit lot project was a
key project in her department. S. Schectman thanked D. Simmons for his work
on the Water Master's decree regarding the San Gregorio Creek Watershed.
K. Nitz referred to page 10, and asked if the Board had seen the revised Board's
Policy on Improvements on District Lands. S. Schectman affirmed that they had
seen this and reviewed the section about authorizing rental of District structures
for commercial use or for employee residences, and that is the component the
Board reviewed.
