RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 51245
APPROVING THE FILING OF A NOTICE OF NONRENEWAL
OF THE WILLIAMSON ACT CONTRACT AFTER CLOSE OF ESCROW PERTAINING TO
THE POST MINDEGO RANCH PROPERTY
WHEREAS, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District("District"), upon close of escrow, will own
two parcels of land in unincorporated San Mateo County which are subject to a Land Conservation
Contract under the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 known as the Williamson Act; and
WHEREAS, the mission of the District includes preservation of open space and agricultural lands in
perpetuity so that acquisition of such contracted lands accomplishes the purposes of the Williamson Act;
and
WHEREAS,the procedures established by the County of San Mateo for administering such contracts
serve no useful purpose when land is owned by a park or open space agency preserving such lands' open
space and agricultural resources, yet such procedures can impose a procedural and financial burden on the
District's ability to efficiently carry out its operations; and
WHEREAS,the benefits of reduced property tax in exchange for such land preservation is no longer
relevant once the District has acquired such lands as the District is exempt from property tax in most
situations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors hereby:
I. Authorizes the General Manager of the District, pursuant to Government Code Section 51245,to file a
notice of nonrenewal with the Board of Supervisors of San Mateo County for Assessor's Parcel
Numbers 080-320-060 and 080-340-010, (currently subject to a Land Conservation Contract) and
upon close of escrow owned by the District.
2. Authorizes the General Manager as agent of the District to execute and submit all documents and take
such actions as may be necessary or convenient to accomplish the purpose of this Resolution, or to
comply with the requirements of the San Mateo County Code or the State Williamson Act, in order to
accomplish the nonrenewal of the contract described above.
