RESOLUTION NO. 77-14
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT
CHANGING NAME OF AGENCY FROM MIDPENINSULA
REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT TO MIDPENINSULA
REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the Midpeninsula Regional Park District was
created in November, 1972 for the primary purpose of acquiring
and preserving open space lands on the midpeninsula; and
WHEREAS, open space lands are being acquired and
preserved for scenic enjoyment, guiding urban form, protec-
tion of natural vegetation and wildlife, protection of
agriculture and low -intensity outdoor recreation and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors desires to eliminate
confusion which has existed regarding the goals and activities
of the District as an open space agency as distinguished from
a traditional parks and recreation agency; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors believes that the inclu-
sion of the word "park" in the District's name has been a primary
cause of such confusion; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors believes changing the
word "park" to "open space" in the District's name would sub-
stantially aid in clarifying to the public the goals and activ-
ities of the District; and
WHEREAS, the use of the words "open space" would also
assist in generally educating the public about the concept and
importance of open space preservation; and
