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 SARE PROPERTY
WHEREAS, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District ("District"), upon close of escrow,
will own a parcel of land in unincorporated San Mateo County which is 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 Number 056-430-010, (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.
