Meeting 86-03 Page 2
The Board discussed the problems relating to closure of the trail
to the public at Los Gatos Creek Park. D. Hansen stated the tempo-
rary closure of the trail was contingent upon survey work for the
fence being done by the County. K. Duffy asked for a progress report
from staff in one month on the status of the trail . R. Bishop sug-
gested that the trail be open to the public but signed to the effect
that "the trail is under construction, proceed with caution" . The
Board directed staff to respond to Mr. Ploss ' s letter. D. Hansen
noted that the fence which was part of the settlement agreement with
the Jesuits narrows parts of the trail.

the District 's Master Plan for Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve.
Larry Hassett , 22286 Skyline Boulevard, La Honda, stated that the con-
cept of the history center had not been discussed with 2M Associates

letter be referred to staff and that staff report to the
Board, at a time agreeable to them, on what ways the
proposals are compatible with the Master Plan. The

the Use and Management Plan for Skyline Ridqe Open Space Preserve
which will be presented to the Board in approximately one month.
V. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
William Obermayer, 3200 Long Ridge Road, La Honda, representing the
Portola Park Heights Property Owners ' Association , addressed the
Board concerning 1) the removal of a lock installed by the Association
on the gate at Jikoji , 2) the problems with hikers on the paved road,
and 3) information the Association obtained from title reports showing
the property owners ' right to road access .
D. Hansen stated that the gate in question is on District land and
that the District had placed a lock on the gate and had given the
combination to the homeowners . D. Hansen stated he had verbally
agreed to put a main gate lock on the Jikoji gate contingent upon the
Portola Park Heights residents signing a release stating they would
only use the gate in an emergency situation. W. Obermayer said that he
thought all individual owners might not sign such a release .
E. Shelley stated that this subject had been previously addressed at
the time of the last review of the Use and Management Plan for the
Long Ridge Open Space Preserve and the Board 's position had been con-
sistent with staff 's recommendation regarding the signing of the
release. He said staff should work with Legal Counsel to draft an
appropriate agreement and strive for a cooperative relationship with
the Homeowners ' Association. He noted that the lock will be installed
when the agreement is signed by the property owners .
Phyllis Cangemi , Director of the Whole Access Project, 517 Lincoln
Avenue , Redwood City, thanked the Board for the efforts to promote
Whole Access facilities and for allowing Burt Wallrich to make his

(Memorandum M-86-09 of January 16 , 1986)
H. Grench stated that S. Norton was to report to the Committee on
H. Haeussler 's December 11 letter regarding interpretation of the
Brown Act. S. Norton said he could report to the Committee in
about one month on this matter.
N. Hanko suggested that, in the meantime , the Committee could
finish its work on the eminent domain policy and proceed with its
other two charges relative to land acquisition outside District
boundaries and annexation. D. Wendin stated that it would be cru-
cial to formulate a questionnaire so the Committee would have some
idea of the direction the Board desires the Committee to pursue ,
particularly with respect to the Brown Act list.
Motion: D. Wendin moved that the Committee be directed to:
1) complete the existing eminent domain document to be
consistent with decisions made at the January 15 Snecial
Meeting; 2) in view of what has been adopted, prepare
draft alternatives for treatment of the Brown Act;
3) create a questionnaire to be brought back to the Board
to see if there is Board consensus on the Brown Act;
4) complete other drafting of policies concerning acqui-
sition of land outside District boundaries but within
the Sphere of Influence and annexation.
N. Hanko seconded the motion with a modification that a question-
naire should be prepared on the last two items stated in the motion .
D. Wendin concurred with the addition to the motion. The motion
passed 6 to 0 .
Janet Schwind, 11825 Skyline Boulevard, Los Gatos , asked for clari-
fication on the terms outside and inside the District as pertaining
to land acquisition and eminent domain policies . R. Bishop stated
that these terms apply to the District 's boundaries and N. Hanko
suggested that the Committee could prepare a list of definitions
which could be included in the prologue which would answer these
types of questions . In response to another question from J.
Schwind, R. Bishop said the Board had adopted the eminent domain
policy and had instructed the Committee to clean up the policy ' s
language based on decisions made at the January 15 Special Meeting.
Meeting 86-03 Page 4
E. Shelley stated the Board 's next action would be adoption of the

opportunity to address the Board.
C. Information Regarding the Feasibility of Sheriff 's Patrol Assist-
ance in the Mt. Umunhum Area at the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve
(Report R-86-11 of January 16 , 1986)
J. Boland reviewed the staff report and discussed the types of
assistance the Sheriff 's Department could provide. He said a com-
bination of alternatives B and C could give good potential for
patrol in the Mt. Umunhum area. D. Hansen stated that specific
recommendations from staff will be presented in the forthcoming
Land Management Staffing Study and in the Use and Management Plan
for the Mt. Umunhum Area which will be presented to the Board in
the next month or two.
The discussion centered on the types of patrol needed in the area,
the possibility of additional motorcycle patrol, the compati-
bility of Sheriff' s deputies working with Rangers, Ranger
safety, and the type of training Sheriff' s deputies would have.
Warren Hergerton, 23631 Hicks Road, Los Gatos, discussed the
frequency of patrol he felt would be most effective , said he felt
motorcycle patrols were most effective, and offered to help staff
identify problem spots.
E. Shelley stated the Board' s consensus in support of a
combination of alternatives B and C in the staff report and
that staff should return with specific recommendations on
how to proceed as part of the Staffing Study and the Use and
Management Plan for Mt. Umunhum.
D. Annual Review of Relative Site Emphasis Plan and Use and
Management Plan Review Schedule (Memorandum M-86-07 of
January 15, 1986)
D. Woods reviewed the staff report and stated that the ideas
presented concerning Conservation Management Units would be
investigated further in terms of the Open Space Management
Planning Policies and brought back to the Board prior to
July 1 or, if possible, due to budget and staffing implications,
before the final 1986-1987 fiscal year budget is adopted.
He said staff would also be asking the Board to consider a
change in policy regarding the scheduling of use and management
reviews.
Motion: N. Hanko moved that the Board approve the Annual

D. Hansen reported that staff had not received to date a
definitive answer from the Santa Clara Valley Water District
regarding the No Trespassing signs at the trailhead leading to
the Priest Rock Area from Lexington Reservoir. He stated
Meeting 86-03 Page 5
that staff will continue to follow-up on the signs to assure
that more appropriate signing is installed. He said that
staff had received no further public comment on the Plan.
Discussion centered on whether or not the entire Limekiln
Canyon Area with the exception of the Carter property

issue be tabled until after the Board considered item eleven
on the agenda pertaining to the dedication status of District

and Management Plan for the Sierra Azul Open Space

Atwood Property Addition to El Sereno Open Space Preserve
-(Memorandum M-86-06 of January 14, 1986)
D. Hansen stated that staff had received no public comment on
the proposed plan.
Lorraine Ordal, 16654 Bohlman Road, Los Gatos, asked about
boundary plaques and if there were plans for a trail on the
property. D. Hansen replied that one of the reasons for
acquiring this parcel was internal trail potential, that
there is no adequate public access at this time to the site,
and that boundary plaques would be placed on the property.
Frank A. Nemec, Jr. , 16800 Bohlman Road, Saratoga, stated his
concerns relating to public access to the property and cited
some recent break-in incidents.
Motion: K. Duffy moved that the Board adopt the Interim Use
and Management Plan for the Atwood property addition
to El Sereno Open Space Preserve, including the naming,
as contained in report R-85-57 and that the property
be dedicated as public open space. N. Hanko seconded
the motion.
Discussion: K. Duffy stated she was recommending
dedication since the remainder of the El Sereno Open
Space Preserve was dedicated. D. Wendin stated that
it would be better not to dedicate immediately the
property unless there was aspecific reason. H. Grench
stated that his recommendation would be to declare
an intention to dedicate at this time, and if the dedica-
tion policy is adopted, the dedication could be made
by resolution at the end of the year.
Motion: D. Wendin moved that the motion be tabled until after
item eleven. of the agenda had been discussed. There

present during the discussion relating to the former Atwood
property and had requested permission to address the Board.
Dennis W. Bragg, 16830 Bohlman Road, Saratoga, questioned how
the District intended to use the property and what the access
would be in relation to his property. D. Hansen briefly ex-
plained the use and management planning process for new
acquisitions. He stated that the District intends to leave
the land as it is and that the public will not be encouraged to

at present, such access to the property is not possible.

Discussion: N. Hanko stated that she felt strongly
about not approving Board policies that affect future
managers and that there was nothing specific about
what the agreements should say. N. Hanko said that she
believes there should be as few restrictions as possible
on District employees regarding employment outside the
District that does not interfere with their District
work and that she did not want the Board to tie the
hands of employees as to the type of work they do as
long as it does not interfere with their work for the
District.
There was no second to the motion to amend.
The motion to adopt the Resolution passed 6 to 0 .
L. Dedication Status of District Lands and Proposed Changes in
Procedures (Report R-86-08, dated January 13,1986)
H. Grench reviewed the staff report noting that State law now
mandates that the dedication of public land must be done by
resolution. He said he was proposing a process whereby
at first and second readings the Board could state its intention
to dedicate a property. He added that in December of each year
a dedication report and resolution would be presented to the Board.
He stated that the first resolution currently before the Board
would confirm previous dedications.
Motion: E. Shelley moved that the Board adopt Resolution 86-5,
a Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Mid-
peninsula Regional Open Space District Ratifying

Resolution Number 86-6 from Section 1 of the Resolution ,and
with the addition of the interests in the Limekiln Canyon
area parcels (excluding the former Carter property) pre-
viously dedicated at the present meeting to Exhibit "A" of

Meeting 86-03 Page 8
Discussion: C. Britton advised that he had not been
present when the Board voted to dedicate the Atwood
property and that he urged the Atwood property not
be dedicated in order to allow for a potential trade
of property rights.
Discussion centered on the Board' s right to change
its previous dedication action for the Atwood property.
E. Shelley stated that the purpose of dedicating the
Atwood property had been to bring the property' s
dedication into line with a policy the Board had not
as yet considered and that dedication had occurred
by motion and not by resolution. H. Grench suggested
that the Board reconsider its former motion in light
of the information provided by C. Britton and with-
hold the property from dedication at this time.
Motion: D. Wendin moved that the Board reconsider its vote on
the dedication of the Atwood property. H. Turner
seconded the motion.
Discussion: E. Shelley asked for a ruling from Legal
Counsel. S. Norton stated he had no difficulty with
the Board' s current action. N. Hanko stated that if
the Board was considering changing its dedication
position, the individuals who had addressed the Board
and who were present when the property was dedicated
should be notified and the item should be placed on
a future agenda. E. Shelley stated that, in his
opinion, it would be appropriate to reconsider the
dedication motion as the Board could always later
vote to dedicate the property.
Robin Marks said he is a prospective buyer for the
property adjacent to the Atwood property and advised
that an easement crosses the Bragg property and pro-
vides access to the Atwood property. He questioned
what affect dedication of the Atwood property would
have upon this easement. S . Norton stated he would
prefer the property be undedicated, noting that once
a property or easement was dedicated it was difficult
to undedicate.
The motion to reconsider the vote on dedication of
the Atwood property passed 6 to 0.
E. Shelley requested that staff advise the members of the
public who had been at the meeting during the Atwood agenda
item of the Board' s action pertaining to dedication of the
Atwood property.
Motion: D. Wendin moved that the Board amend the motion to
read as it was stated in the staff report and indicate
its intention to dedicate the property as public open
space. E. Shelley seconded the motion. The motion
was withdrawn to clarify better the Board' s action.
Motion: D. Wendin moved that the Board rescind the earlier
motion on the adoption of the Interim Use and Manage-
ment Plan for the Atwood property addition to El Sereno
Open Space Preserve including dedication of the property.
H. Turner seconded the motion. The motion passed 6 to 0 .
Meeting 86-03 Page 9
Motion : D. Wendin moved that the Board adopt the Interim Use
and Management Plan for the Atwood property addition
to the El Sereno Open Space Preserve, including the
naming, and withhold the property from dedication.
E. Shelley seconded the motion.
Discussion : Discussion centered on notification of
those individuals who had attended the meeting
earlier in the evening and public notification on use
of the Preserve. R. Bishop stated that anyone with
objections could be heard at a future Board meeting.
E. Shelley stated that the members of the public
who had been in attendance be notified by staff that
the reason for the change in vote was to allow for
possible trade of rights of parts of land to
neighboring land owners. N. Hanko stated that the
District notification policies should be changed to
provide that neighbors are notified of actions at the
first step of an acquisition and not wait until the
planning process has been completed.
The motion passed 6 to 0.
Motion: R. Bishop moved that the Board adopt Resolution 86-6,
a Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Mid-
peninsula Regional Open Space District Adopting an
Amended Policy for the Dedication of District Lands.
E. Shelley seconded the motion.
Discussion: N. Hanko stated it should be made clear
that when the Board states intention to dedicate
property it is not legally dedicated until the
resolution is adopted in December to dedicate
various properties.
Motion: E. Shelley moved to table the motion to adopt
Resolution 86-6 in order to complete consideration
of Resolution 86-5. D. Wendin seconded the motion.
The motion passed 6 to 0.
The motion to adopt Resolution 86-5 passed 6 to 0.
Motion: R. Bishop moved that the Board remove the motion to
adopt Resolution 86-6 from the table. E. Shelley
seconded the motion. The motion passed 6 to 0.
The motion to adopt Resolution 86-6 passed 6 to 0 .
H. Grench asked if there were any other undedicated properties
that would be prime candidates for dedication. K. Duffy stated
that she believed the Board had been too timid with conferring
dedication status on District lands. H. Grench said that a
prime area to consider dedication is Sierra Azul where there
are many pieces of disconnected land. N. Hanko stated that
she thought dedication should be withheld until after Santa
Clara County completes its open space plan which may include
new regulations that could affect the Mt. Umunhum Area.
