Sincerely, Ana María Ruiz General Manager iiiMeasure AA Bond Annual Accountability Report FY2018-19 Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve by Zhao Han iv Measure AA Bond Annual Accountability Report FY2018-19 Bond Oversight Committee: Midpen is pleased to present our fourth Measure AA Bond Annual Accountability Report. MAA, approved by voters in 2014, is a $300 million bond measure to accelerate land acquisition, environmental restoration and public access within the District. We present this report to you to fulfill two key tenets of this legislation— transparency and accountability—by highlighting MAA project progress and providing an overview of bond expenditures for FY2018-19. As committee members, your role is defined and authorized by Midpen board policy, adopted on August 12, 2015, which states: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————— The Committee has the following three responsibilities for each of the years the Measure AA general obligation tax is collected, or revenues expended: —————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Review Plan expenditures on an annual basis to verify conformity with the Expenditure Plan —————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Review the District’s Annual Audit and Annual Accountability report and present the Committee’s findings to the Board at a public meeting —————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Review any proposed amendments to the Expenditure Plan —————————————————————————————————————————————————————— The Committee Chair shall report the Committee’s findings at a public meeting of the Board of Directors. The Committee shall not have authority to recommend, advise, or direct any such matters that may fall under its responsibility to review. The Committee is not advisory to the Board of Directors and has no power to determine how General Fund monies are spent. The Board of Directors retains its authority to make such decisions and determinations. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————— As of the end of this reporting period, Midpen has spent a life-to-date total of $58.4 million in MAA bond funds. Midpen spent a total of $10.2 million on MAA projects in FY2018-19, with $48.2 million spent in previous reporting periods. Through leveraging $3.3 million in grants and partnership funding, along with an additional $2.7 million in interest income from the bond proceeds, available MAA bond funding has increased to $306 million total. MAA projects are grouped into 25 portfolios. Projects are completed or underway in 20 of the 25 portfolios, with progress in the current reporting year spanning 18 portfolios. Additional efforts in support of the MAA portfolios are also noted in Portfolio Expenditures. Looking ahead, Midpen continues to invest in projects across the 25 MAA portfolios. The adopted Budget and Action Plan for fiscal year 2019-20 includes projects in 15 MAA portfolios. We thank you for your time and service to our community, including the inspection of this accountability report, which supports the health of the environment we all share. Sincerely, Stefan Jaskulak Chief Financial Officer Message from the Chief Financial Officer to the Bond Oversight Committee Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve by Alisha Laborico MISSION The mission of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District is to acquire and preserve a regional greenbelt of open space land in perpetuity, protect and restore the natural environment, and provide opportunities for ecologically sensitive public enjoyment and education.

This report reflects MAA expenditures from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019. The structure of this document is guided by MAA ballot language, specifically Priority Portfolio Actions by Region, beginning on page 7. The MAA expenditure plan with 25 priority actions and project portfolios were the culmination of the vision planning effort that began in 2002. The public portion of this visioning process spanned 18 months and defines Midpen’s strategic direction for the next 40 years. In total, the vision plan yielded a list of 54 priority actions. The top 25 priority actions were subsequently incorporated into a ballot initiative. In 2014, voters approved Measure AA, a $300 million general obligation bond, designed to fund these top 25 priority actions as described in the MAA expenditure plan. This MAA accountability report is arranged in parallel with that expenditure plan to facilitate review. Projects are grouped into 25 key project portfolios organized by geographic area within District boundaries. No changes in portfolio allocations are proposed for this reporting period. In the future, should a shift in portfolio allocations be needed, the MAA Bond Oversight Committee will be advised. Bond Oversight Committee Connection with Budget and Action Plan In keeping with its role of reviewing retrospective expenditures, this committee is not charged with reviewing the budget or other prospective information, unless it is provided as part of an explanation of a proposed portfolio allocation adjustment. There is, of course, a synergy between the budgeted and actual expenditures, and the following information is provided as context for, and insight into, Midpen’s management of MAA spending. Each year Midpen embarks upon a priority-setting and budgeting process with the board, allowing for at least a six-month planning process. The Budget and Action Plan is approved prior to the start of the fiscal year. Within the budget, there is a Measure AA Projects Budget Overview, which provides a prospective view into the next year’s planned spending. Bond Issuance, Size and Look-Back Period In June 2014, voters approved MAA, a $300 million general obligation bond fund to protect natural open space lands, open preserves or areas of preserves to public access, construct public access improvements, such as new trails and staging areas, and restore and enhance open space land, including forests, streams, watersheds and coastal ranch areas. In August 2015, Midpen issued its first tranche of $45 million in general obligation bonds to cover three years of planned project expenses, as well as the legally permitted look-back period of 60 days prior to the board’s certification of election results. In February 2018, Midpen issued its second tranche of $50 million in general obligation bonds to cover project expenses planned for approximately the next three years. 2 Measure AA Bond Annual Accountability Report FY2018-19 Portfolio Allocations and Expenditures The rollup below shows how much of the total MAA expenditure plan allocation has been used on a life-to-date basis. The following chart shows the portfolio allocations approved in the expenditure plan and the life-to-date expenditures in each portfolio through June 30, 2019. For details, please reference the financial report on page 76, which contains actual expenditure numbers and remaining allocations.

The primary spending for the period July 1, 2018-June 30, 2019 was in engineering and construction associated with opening the western part of Bear Creek Redwoods Preserve (MAA21) to the public. These activities included completing a new parking lot, installing a new vault-toilet restroom, completing an accessible pathway around Upper Lake, installing a new bridge, and opening 6 miles of new and improved trails. Another focus area was completing the remaining site improvements at the Cooley Landing Park next to Ravenswood Preserve (MAA02), in partnership with the City of East Palo Alto, which include new motion- activated roadway lighting, a free-standing restroom, an outdoor classroom area, a path around the education center to complete a loop trail, secondary unpaved trails, and a new entry sign. Also in this reporting period, we demolished dilapidated structures in the Twin Creeks area of Sierra Azul Preserve (MAA23) to restore riparian habitat and protect water quality, constructed a new section of the Oljon Trail in El Corte de Madera Creek Preserve (MAA04), and prepared construction documents for the Ravenswood Bay Trail project. Midpen actively seeks land acquisition opportunities for conservation and preservation. We added 240 acres to Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve (MAA03), 190 acres to La Honda Creek Preserve (MAA05) with the purchase of the Woodruff Redwoods property, and 1.87 acres to El Sereno Preserve (MAA19), including a portion of the Acquinos Trail. In addition to direct spending on MAA projects, Midpen has prioritized key initiatives in support of MAA portfolios, including land acquisition negotiations, usage surveys, operational infrastructure improvements, environmental assessments, geotechnical studies and habitat restorations. Although the Bond Oversight Committee review is primarily focused on actual MAA expenditures, additional accomplishments not funded by MAA but that support these projects have been included to help provide a sense of the work required to move them forward, which sometimes involves partnership collaborations. These accomplishments are described in detail in the portfolio expenditure summary starting on page 14. Midpen’s annual audited financial statements can be found at openspace.org/financials. Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve by Mike Kahn/Midpen 4 Measure AA Bond Annual Accountability Report FY2018-19 Of the $10.3 million expended in this reporting period, $2.2 million was related to land acquisition and related expenses, which represents 21.6% of all spending for the period.

The following section provides a high-level glimpse of anticipated expenditures based on the approved fiscal year Budget and Action Plan and operational workload. This is provided for contextual purposes and to demonstrate the managed progress Midpen is making toward MAA projects. Next year’s report, covering FY2019-20, will include the sixth year of MAA funding. Based on the approved FY2019-20 budget, planned life-to-date spending is estimated to exceed $65 million, or approximately 22% of the $300 million bonding capacity authorized under Measure AA. The capital program for FY2019-20 continues progress on many phased projects, with a concentrated effort on expanding public access at Bear Creeks Redwoods Preserve (MAA21) and upper La Honda Creek Preserve (MAA05), Ravenswood Preserve (MAA02) trail connections, and Mindego Ranch pond restoration at Russian Ridge Preserve (MAA09). Finally, portfolio allocations include estimated land acquisition costs. Because purchases are primarily opportunity driven, estimates are not tied to a specific time frame, as we do not know when properties and/or rights will be available for purchase. The real property department actively pursues targeted opportunities for land purchases, as well as the purchase of property rights and easements, so purchase expenses may be realized as future opportunities become available.

This bond funding allocation may be shifted if needed following the board of director’s approval, however, for this reporting period, no deviation from the original expenditure plan is proposed. Portfolio expenditures listed in the description represent all project costs that have been deemed eligible for MAA reimbursement from inception through June 30, 2019. Portfolios that have no incurred expenditures are included in this report to keep continuity from year to year. Additional contextual information is included in notable accomplishments, project challenges and potential next steps, as well as the tables and charts associated with each portfolio. Although the Bond Oversight Committee review is primarily focused on actual MAA expenditures, additional accomplishments not funded by MAA but that support these projects have been included to help provide a sense of the work required to move them forward, which sometimes involves partnership collaborations.

SUMMARY Founded by voters in 1972, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (“District”) has protected, in perpetuity, 62,000 acres of open space containing 26 preserves and more than 220 miles of trails that serve Santa Clara, San Mateo, and a portion of Santa Cruz counties. The District’s preserves provide a scenic backdrop to the region offering residents places for hiking, biking, horseback riding, or simply connecting with nature, close to home. Throughout its 41-year history the District has used taxpayer dollars wisely, leveraging funds to bring in state, federal, and private grant money, and providing annual audits in a transparent public process. The District is governed by a publicly elected board of directors. Over the years, the number of acres and miles of trails the District owns and maintains have steadily increased, as have the number of visitors and the cost of land. Expanding public access, restoring sensitive environments and purchasing land are costly, yet are high priorities for the public. To reinforce and expand these types of services and resources, the Board of Directors is placing this funding measure on the June 3, 2014 ballot. $300 million in General Obligation Bonds will be sold. The bond repayment would be financed by an annual property tax override based on a tax rate not to exceed $3.18 per $100,000 of assessed value of property owned per year. This Expenditure Plan outlines priority actions identified by the public and proposed by the District to be funded with bond proceeds. Part B describes each priority action and describes what goals it will achieve. Part C of the Expenditure Plan describes the establishment of an independent Citizen Oversight Committee. Measure AA Ballot Language, as approved by voters on June 3, 2014 84 2.PRIORITY ACTIONS The priority actions listed below are the result of a process that combined scientific analysis with broad public engagement to create a shared vision for the future of the District and the region’s open space. Each priority action may address one or more of the following as more specifically described in the table Priority Actions, By Region attached to this Expenditure Plan: •Improved hiking, biking, and equestrian opportunities •Protection and preservation of redwoods, natural open spaces, the scenic beauty of the region and coastline, critical habitats •Restoration of creeks to protect water quality •Reduction of forest fire risk Priority actions are distributed throughout the District as depicted on the map attached to this Expenditure Plan. If approved, the bond proceeds would be allocated to fund the capital improvements necessary to implement the priority actions listed below. Note: the number associated with each priority action does not denote its priority level, but is only used for identification purposes to correlate with the locations depicted on the map. The estimates associated with each priority action are in 2014 dollars. These are estimates only, and the actual costs may change in implementation. The District may annually review and propose amendments to the Expenditure Plan to provide for the use of additional federal, state and local funds, to account for unexpected revenues, or to take into consideration unforeseen circumstances. The District shall act on no more than one package of amendments each fiscal year. The District shall establish a process for proposed Expenditure Plan amendment(s) which ensures that the Citizen Oversight Committee is included in the development. Upon completion of this process, amendments(s) to the Expenditure Plan must be passed by a two-thirds majority of the District Board in a publicly noticed meeting.

Measure AA Ballot Language, as approved by voters on June 3, 2014 90 EXHIBIT B TAX RATE STATEMENT An election will be held in the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (the "District") on June 3, 2014, to authorize the sale of up to $300 million in bonds of the District to provide public access and acquire, restore, and preserve open space throughout the District as described in the ballot measure. If the bonds are approved, the District expects to sell the bonds in several series over time. Principal and interest on the bonds will be payable from the proceeds of tax levies made upon the taxable property in the District. The information contained in numbered paragraphs 1 - 3 below is provided in compliance with sections 9400-9404 of the Elections Code of the State of California. 1. The best estimate of the tax which would be required to be levied to fund this bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the first series of bonds, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is $1.00 per $100,000 of assessed valuation in fiscal year 2015-16. 2. The best estimate of the tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund this bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the last series of bonds, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is $2.90 per $100,000 of assessed valuation in fiscal year 2044-45. 3. The best estimate of the highest tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund this bond issue, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is $3.18 per $100,000 of assessed valuation in fiscal year 2034-35. Voters should note that the estimated tax rates are based on the estimated ASSESSED VALUE of taxable property on the respective County's official tax rolls, not on a property's market value. Property owners should consult their own property tax bills to determine their property's assessed value and any applicable tax exemptions. Attention of all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon the District's projections and estimates only, which are not binding upon the District. The actual tax rates and the years in which they will apply may vary from those presently estimated, due to variations from these estimates in the timing of bond sales, the amount of bonds sold and market interest rates at the time of each sale, and actual assessed valuations over the term of repayment of the bonds. The dates of sale and the amount of bonds sold at any given time will be determined by the District based on its needs for funds and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will be sold will depend on the bond market at the time of each sale. Actual future assessed valuation will depend upon the amount and value of taxable property within the District as determined by the respective County Assessor in the annual property value assessment process.
