For nearly 40 years,we have had access through The San Jose Water Works' property onto the former Cothran property. We rode there any time we wished,and also had overnight campouts,by invitation of the property owner. When Mid-Pen obtained the property we still were able to ride these trails,but for the last year- and-a-half we have been shut out of this area. We feel that we have a prescriptive easement to use the property,in light of the number of years we have ridden the trails. Summit Riders was given permission to put a water trough on the property,which we did,years ago,with the assistance of a Mid-Pen ranger. At no time has the Club received any complaints from the residents;we don't ride close enough to any of the homes to be seen,and have had cordial relations with any residents we've come in contact with. For many of our local riders;this property is the only place to ride in the winter months;be cause, the trails don't get muddy. We are hopeful that something can be done to again open up this area to equestrian use.

As noted in your letter, this area of the Preserve was originally owned by Cothran from whom the District purchased the property in 1990. In 2010, a neighboring property owner who accesses his private property across this road/trail installed a fence and started closing the gate across the road/trail resulting in blocking public equestrian and hiking access to the Preserve. I understand that District staff is talking with San Jose Water Company and the private property owners along this road/trail to resolve this closure and reopen this trail for public use. I encourage you to work with the District's Operation Manager, David Sanguinetti, by telephone at (650) 691-1200 Ext. 557 or by email dsanLuinetti(d)openspace.or 7, or the District's Real Property Manager, Michael Williams at (650) 691-1200 Ext. 542 or by email nlwilliams(iz),openspace.org to help the District resolve this matter and reopen this trail for the Summit Riders and public use.

SUMMARY On May 24, 2011, Carol Joyce, the District's Ombudsperson for many years, resigned from her position to take advantage of an employment opportunity in another state,leaving the District with the task to appoint another Ombudsperson to act as a liaison between District staff and the public to resolve citizen inquiries and concerns. On July 13, 2011 the Board approved a recruitment and selection process for a new Ombudsperson which delegated responsibility for screening the District Ombudsperson applications to LFPAC (See Report R-1 1-74) and charged the committee with returning to the Board with the top applicants. The committee interviewed Dr. Allen on February 22, 2012, and recommends that the Board appoint him to the position of Ombudsperson. Following is a summary of the Ombudsperson's duties; for the complete list of the Ombudsperson's role, duties, assignment and reporting responsibilities please see Attachment 2: a Listens to resident concerns. 0 Opens avenues of communication between residents and neighbors and the District. * Gathers information and educates residents on District policies or procedures and their purpose or effect. 0 Facilitates conflict resolution.

At its July 13, 2011 meeting,the Board of Directors approved the General Manager's recommendation for a selection process which included screening of the applications by LFPAC and a return to the Board with the top four applicants. The Board, it was decided, would then schedule interviews and appoint an Ombudsperson either at an upcoming Regular or Special Meeting.

Sincerely, Erik Nolen Allen, Ph.D. APPLICATION FOR OMBUDSPERSON Erik Allen 8/2/2011 W I I am submitting this letter of interest regarding the Ombudsperson position. I have been looking specifically for an opportunity that would allow me to use my skills in conflict resolution and mediation to enhance organizational effectivness. I am dedicated to the creation of an impartial, fair process where faculty,staff, and students can be heard. I am committed to being an unbiased advocate that can assist in the alternative dispute resolution process. 2. 1 have completed Mediator Certification Training hosted by the Santa Clara County Dispute Resolution Program and I plan on attending the Ombudsman training program hosted by the International Ombudsman Association. I have a Ph.D. in higher education from Saint Louis University. My undergraduate degree was in psychology and I have taken additional graduate coursework in counseling psychology. 3. 1 have mediation experience at Vanderbilt University in the Office of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity where I acted as the primary investigative officer in cases involving student misconduct. At Saint Louis University, I worked in the Department of Leadership and Higher Education where I mediated student and faculty disputes regarding grades,student conduct and other academic matters. I also have four years of experience conducting various duties for University Housing Services and the Department of Art and Design at San Jose State University. I have coordinated the writing of departmental reports, surveys, training, evaluations,policies,procedures, and budgets. I have provided members of the university with information regarding regulations, laws, accreditation standards, and guidelines. I also have years of experience constructing effective working relationships with members of the community(see attached resume for time periods). Supplemental Questionnaire 1. 1 have resolved many conflicts, both formally and informally. As I mentioned in the above comments, I remain an unbiased, impartial advocate to ensure a fair process. I let both sides openly communicate in a safe environment. I have fbLuid that letting people communicate,otlen fixes most disputes. Many conflicts are simply a result of miscommunication. If there is a genuine conflict that cannot be resolved by communication alone, I help facilitate a process where both parties can come to a compromise or agreement. I also educate all parties involved regarding pertinent policies, regulations,and procedures that may have contributed to the conflict. Z. Working in a university environment,I deal with challenging customer service type complaints on a weekly basis. The most challenging cases I have dealt with are ones that involve disputes between faculty and students regarding academic matters. Students often claim that they have been wronged in.some way(received incorrect grade, biased treatment,accused of cheating,etc.) and it has been my job to investigate these claims. It requires me to balance the needs of the student and the faculty member in order to come to a fair solution. Once again, f must remain impartial and unbiased. 3. 1 feel the Ombudsperson will probably have to deal with the complaints of private land owners regarding the use of Open Space property, as well as their own property. I would assume that there are disputes on usage that need to be resolved on a regular basis. 4. 1 personally enjoy spending time hiking in the Midpeninsula Open Space area and would enjoy the opportunity to contribute to the District's mission of preserving land for the people of northern California. f feet the District provides members of the community with an invaluable service that enhances residents' quality of life.

Midpeninsula Regional • ( Open Space District P R-12-23 Meeting 12-11 April 11, 2012 AGENDA ITEM 5 AGENDA ITEM Field Enforcement Activity Report for Calendar Year 2011 and Ten-Year Field Activity Summary GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATIO Accept the Calendar Year 2011 Miscellaneous Enforcement Activity Summary and the Ten-Year Field Activity Summary. SUMMARY This report continues the transition, started in 2010, from the previous data collection and presentation method, to a system which is based on a complete electronic input Access database. The previous system used a combination of manual record keeping, Excel spreadsheets, converted into a less sophisticated Access database. Since the report covers the last ten years, it needs to be understood that the data from the previous system (first eight years) is not going to be as accurate as the data from the last two years. Therefore, violation occurrences and trends will be more accurate as we proceed with the new system data and the old system data is reduced in the coming years. As such, the total violations on District property in calendar year(CY) 2011 increased by 5.3% over CY2010. Parking and Parking-After-Hours violations accounted for 49.6% of the total violations in the past year, with Rancho San Antonio experiencing the greatest number of parking violations of any District preserve as expected, due to the nature of its parking and use. Total bicycle violations decreased by 12.3% over the previous year. This continues a downwards trend that started in 2007. Bicycle accidents also dropped from a high of 40 accidents in 2009 to 22 accidents in 2011. R-12-23 Page 2 In 2010 the number of off-road vehicle incidents was highlighted. It had jumped from 15 incidents in 2009 to 38 incidents in 2010. We believe this was due to a rash of motorcycle violations coming from a neighboring property onto El Corte de Madera Open Space Preserve. The number has decreased to 26 incidents in 2011, which we believe is the result of increased enforcement activity by District Rangers targeting the violators. These efforts will continue to be made a priority in 2012. DISCUSSION Since April 1995, staff has given the Board written monthly reports on emergency incidents and enforcement activities on District land. At the end of each year, the Board receives a summary of that year's data as well as a comparison to previous years. Information for this year's report was generated from the new Incidents Database, which was placed in service for data collection on January 1, 2010. In prior years the creation of this report relied mostly upon manual data collection methods, which were more prone to error and had limited data collection capabilities. Therefore data up to and including 2009, was imported from the previous system, while 2010 and 2011 data has been electronically collected and entered into the new Enforcement Data Base System. In addition, we are continuing to refine the current database to collect the desired information and improve the presentation of information and analysis from the system for the future. Three summaries are presented for Board review in this report: the CY2011 Miscellaneous Enforcement Activity Summary(Appendix A), and the Ten-Year Field Activity Summary (Appendix B.1). Also provided is a summary of the actual violation codes, listed in order of frequency of occurrence(Appendix B.2). Note that information for prior years in Appendix B.2 is not complete due to the incomplete information gathered in the earlier data gathering process. Graphical representation of trends is shown in appendices C and D. The Miscellaneous Enforcement Activity Summary(Appendix A) lists, in chronological order for the past year, contacts made or reports taken by staff of potentially serious, violent, or other criminal activity on or near District land. This is not a comprehensive list of incidents but reflects incidents of special interest or concern. The Ten-Year Field Activity Summary includes violations of District Land Use Regulations, emergency responses, criminal activity, and mutual aid incidents. Only contacts that resulted in some form of written record, such as a District incident report, written warning, citation, or mutual aid assistance report have been included in these summaries. General assistance to preserve visitors, informational contacts, and verbal warnings are not included. Trends and Issues • Violations of District Ordinances continue to be the primary enforcement focus of District Rangers, as noted in Appendix B.2. • After-hours parking violations were the highest occurring violations (331). i R-12-23 Page 3 I • Dog leash violations are the most common face to face violation (227 violations) followed by after-hours use (206 violations). I • Recorded dog violations increased slightly from 331 violations in 2010 to 348 violations in 2011, but the numbers for both off leash and dogs prohibited violations have been very stable over the last three years.

This is comparable with the 260 parking citations in 2011. • Recorded bicycle violations decreased from a high of 368 violations in 2009 to 250 violations in 2011. Bicycle speed and night riding rose slightly, as shown on the chart below. The number of Closed Area violations tends to vary according to the weather since trails are not generally closed during dry periods. 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 12008 2009 12010 12011 FM Violationsa ` 1.

Preserve Off District Lands-Skyline Location 99 Crazy Pete's Road Dec 03 District Rangers received a report from Mountain View dispatch of a suspicious 6 CDF 1 IR 11S275 circumstance in the preserve. A male had run away from his female companion, into the SMCSO 1 preserve, and had not returned. Rangers were first on scene and obtained information from the female companion. The woman said that after inhaling a single hit of a marijuana cigarette,the male had"gone berserk"and run into the woods. He had not returned after 90 minutes,so the woman returned to the preserve parking lot and called for assistance. San Mateo County Sheriff and CalFire responded. The man returned,and was checked for medical issues and also for being under the influence of drugs. He was covered with scratches and blood on his face, neck, arms and legs. After being cleared,the man was transported by a deputy to a location where he could be picked up by a taxi. The woman was transported by a friend. Preserve Russian Ridge Location Dec 06 A District powered wheelbarrow,with a value of$7,000,was stolen from the preserve. 2 SMCSO 1 IR 11 S279 The wheelbarrow had been cable-locked to a tree near the Horseshoe Lake dam at the end of the work day Friday. When the crew returned to work on Tuesday the equipment was missing. A thorough search was conducted and eventually tracks from the equipment were found leaving the Preserve. The San Mateo Sheriffs office was requested and took a report. There were no witnesses or suspects identified. Preserve Skyline Ridge Location Horseshoe Lake Dec 28 A person who was hiking,experienced chest pain and possibly lost consciousness. EMS 5 2 AR 11F392 was activated. District Rangers and fire responded and found the patient on a single track SCCF 3 trail. The patient was treated and taken by wheel litter to the trailhead. The victim was taken to the hospital by ground ambulance. Preserve Rancho San Antonio Location Dec 28 Two juveniles were reported to be riding motorcycles in the preserve. Two District 2 IR 11F393 Rangers responded, located,and stopped the motorcycles. Both juveniles were issued JCR's(citations)for operating motorcycles on District Lands and were released to one of the juvenile's uncles.

Abbors Date: April 6, 2012 Re: FYIs a • ' ( Mid peninsula Regional Open Space District Memorandum DATE: April 11, 2012 TO: MROSD Board of Directors i THROUGH: Steve Abbors, General Manager FROM: Ana Ruiz, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Stevens Creek Shoreline Nature Study Area(Site 25) Clean-up This memorandum provides an update on the site cleanup activities that are planned at the District's 55-acre Stevens Creek Shoreline Nature Study Area. Background The District's Stevens Creek Shoreline Nature Study Area is located in the Mountain View baylands, adjacent to Moffett Field. This small Preserve forms part of a larger seasonal pond that serves as Moffett Field's stormwater retention basin, known as Site 25. Since 1953, during the Navy's operation of Moffett Field, this fully diked seasonal pond has been part of the storm water management system for the western portion of Moffett Field. Over many decades, this retention basin had been collecting surface runoff with suspended, contaminated sediment. This retention basin continues to collect runoff to this day, however, the sources of contaminants have been recently isolated and either remediated or contained. The contamination that has previously accumulated within Site 25 is the subject of a remediation effort that has spanned nearly 20 years. The Navy is responsible for the environmental cleanup at Site 25 and has been working with numerous agencies, including the US Environmental Protection Agency and California Regional Water Quality Control Board, to prepare a remedial action plan for this site. Extensive investigations at Site 25 have confirmed the presence of DDT, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), lead, and zinc (chemicals of concern) at levels requiring remediation. Cleanup Approach After many years of discussion with the various regulatory and oversight agencies, and in consultation with US Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish and Game, the Navy has finalized an approved Remedial Design/Remedial Action Work Plan for Site 25 and is expecting to begin cleanup work shortly. The cleanup will consist of the excavation of sediment at known hot spots that contain elevated levels of the chemicals of concern. Remedial goals have been established to be protective of ecological receptors, which were based on known sensitive bayland wildlife, and set for a tidal marsh scenario. The tidal marsh scenario is comparatively more protective than the scenarios of a managed pond or storm water retention pond, and addresses the District's concerns of not precluding a future restoration of the property to tidal marsh. The selection of areas to be excavated was based on prior investigations, including numerous soil samplings. Sediment removal is scheduled to take plan in summer-fall 2012. Areas that need to be cleared of pickleweed will be done using manual tools with a biologist present to monitor the clearing. Temporary dams will be deployed within the seasonal pond to partition the pond into three zones beginning in May 2012. Water from each zone will be pumped to other zones to allow the work to occur. To address concerns regarding contaminant dispersal due to water pumping, effluent samples will be taken daily at the pump discharge point and a field meter will monitor turbidity. If results detect changes that are much higher than baseline levels, pumping will cease and the operation will be reassessed. Confirmation samples will be taken after sediment excavation is completed to verify the attainment of the do-not-exceed Remedial Goals at each excavation site. The Navy's Operations and Maintenance requirements for the cleanup work include ecological monitoring,replanting of salt grass and pickleweed, and inspections of the re-vegetation work. Also, the Remedial Design/Remedial Action Work Plan includes biological and ecological protection measures, including pre-construction surveys, site inspections, and documentation, to protect listed and special status species. Also, preconstruction photo surveys of existing infrastructure will be conducted so that possible impacts related to the cleanup activities can be assessed and appropriate repairs can be made. A District permit to enter has been provided to the Navy to allow the work to commence, including all preconstruction surveys and mobilization. The San Francisco Bay Trail (which traverses the edge of District Property) will be closed on the east and west sides during work hours. Notice of actual closure dates will be provided to the Association of Bay Area Governments, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the District at least 3 weeks in advance of the closures. The District will post these closures at the site and on our District webpage.

The OSA was created by the Legislature in 1993, at the behest of the community, in order to preserve key portions of Santa Clara County's natural environment. At that time, PRC Section 35159 required bidding on all contracts above $10,000. Other open space districts in California and the Bay Area, however, have a $25,000 threshold for bidding. AB 2388 amends PRC Section 35159 by raising the threshold for requiring bidding and Board approval of the lowest responsible bidder from $10,000 to $25,000. In addition, PRC 35159 requires that the OSA adhere to lowest responsible bidding requirements for all services including planning, management training and other routine administrative functions. This compels the agency to select the lowest bidder— regardless of the qualifications of the contractor. AB 2388 also removes the requirement that services be subject to lowest responsible bidding procedures and, as a result, the OSA will ultimately spend less money because the lowest cost service provider frequently provides less overall service. 330 Distel Circle Los Altos,CA 94022 65o.69i.1200 F 65o,691.048S www openspace org i We urge you to support this critical change in the OSA's enabling legislation. AB 2388's sensible amendments will in the long run save taxpayers money, result in more efficient and effective protection of public open space lands and allow OSA to create more opportunities for public recreation.
