IV. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS -
Lennie Roberts, 339 La Cuesta, Portola Valley, gave the Board an article published in the
Yosemite Members Association Journal which describes the term that relates to the Board's
decision to close some trails. The term is "recreational displacement," which refers to taking
surveys at parks. She thanked the Board very much for the trail use decision. She said people go
to open space preserves for the quiet experience.

Meeting 00-21 Page 2
Lynda L. Brothers, 351 Toriho Dr., #12, San Carlos, gave a handout to the Board and stated she
was present in an effort to honor her late mother's last wishes and locate a memorial bench for
her in the Palo Alto foothills. She requested that the location of the bench of site number one (1)
on the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve be moved about 200 feet. She listed a number of
advantages. She couldn't find any disadvantages to this request other than it was not the site the
District designated.
Peggy Cory, 3337 Ramona Street, Palo Alto, stated she was Ms. Brother's sister and gave some
personal background on why this request is so important to them. She stated that she is not
asking for a new bench site, but rather, that the present bench site be moved about 200 feet.
M. Davey asked that this request be given to Use and Management Committee. C. Britton gave
a brief history of the memorial bench program. B. Crowder also recommended the issue to the
U&M Committee. L. Brothers asked how long it would be before a decision would be made.
C. Britton answered he would consult with staff, it would have a low priority, and may take
several months. B. Crowder thanked Peggy and Linda for a very good presentation. M. Davey
reminded the presenters that the District has reduced staff at this time.
Staff member David Sanguinetti introduced the newest ranger, Susannah Anderson-Minshall,
who is assigned to the Skyline area. He gave some background information about her. The
Board welcomed her warmly.
V. ADOPTION OF AGENDA
Motion: P. Siemens moved that the Board adopt the agenda. J. Cyr seconded the
motion. The motion passed 7 to 0.
VI. ADOPTION OF CONSENT CALENDAR
C. Britton answered questions about claims 2177.
Motion: B. Crowder moved that the Board adopt the Consent Calendar, including
agenda item 6, Notice of Contract Completion for the Demolition of Fourteen
Minor Structures at Five Separate Sites, and Removal of Debris at Bear Creek
Redwoods Oven Space Preserve, agenda item 7, Appointment of Peace Officer;
and Revised Claims 00-13. J. Cyr seconded the motion.
Vote: The motion passed 7 to 0.
VII. BOARD BUSINESS
A. Agenda Item No. 1 - Consideration of Exercise of the Right of First Refusal to
Purchase Lands of the Russian Convent of Our Lady of Vladimir, Inc. and Approval o
Offer and Purchase Agreement Therefore (R-00-103)
Meeting 00-21 Page 3
C. Britton presented the history of the property. In 1998 the District negotiated the
right of first refusal in case the Russian Convent ever decided to sell the property. On
July 14, 2000 the District received a notice from the Convent indicating that they had
accepted an offer for $3.5 million and that the District had fifteen (15) days to bring the
matter to the Board. D. Woods presented a map of the property showing the
boundaries and other geographical features. He also presented slides of the property,
some of which were taken in 1998. He said the property would be named the Mills
Creek Open Space Preserve.
M. Williams said the right of first refusal allows the District to match any third party
bonafide offer to purchase the property. On May 12 the District received an initial
notice to sell from the Convent which shortened the process for the right of first
refusal. On June 26, the Convent listed their property for sale at $2.84 million. On
July 14, the District received a notice the Convent had accepted an offer from a private
party for $3.5 million. Representatives from the Convent said they received a total of
four offers, all in excess of the list price. As indicated by the multiple offers, and the
area's real estate market, staff feels that $3.4 million is representative of fair market
value for this scenic property. Staff recommends that the Board exercise the right of
first refusal and approve the attached purchase agreement. He explained the
agreement, which was similar to the 1998 agreement.
M. Davey asked if more stringent restrictions on ridgeline development played a part
on the nuns' decision not to build? D. Woods mentioned the District had
accommodated their building requests last year. K. Nitz asked how many building site
densities were applied to the property; D. Woods answered three sites.
D. Perrone, 316 Ridge Road, Woodside, said there are a lot of folks who want to see
more open space, particularly the Russian Convent site. He noted that other agencies
have bought smaller size parcels at higher purchase prices.
Al Bell, 12130 Skyline Blvd., Woodside, urged the Board to purchase the property. As
a member of Save Skyline Open Space, they've been working on making this property
public open space.
Lennie Roberts, 339 La Cuesta, Portola Valley speaking for the Committee For Green
Foothills, heartily endorsed the staff recommendation and said they are looking forward
to this future open space preserve. She said it was a remarkable piece of property, and
as open space, will be enjoyed for many, many years.
William Murray, 121 N. Balsamina Way, Portola Valley, encouraged the Board to
purchase the property, even at the inflated rate. He complimented the neighbors who
probably had a key role in making the purchase possible.
Meeting 00-21 Page 4
Motion: M. Davey moved that the Board determine that the recommended actions
are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) as set out in the staff report; adopt Resolution No. 00-46,
Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open
Space District Authorizing the Exercise of the Right of First Refusal and
Approval of Offer and Land Purchase Agreement, Authorizing Officer to
Execute Certificate of Acceptance of Grant to District, and Authorizing
the President of the Board, General Manager, or Other Appropriate
Officer to Execute Any and All Other Documents Necessary or
Appropriate to Closing of the Transaction (Mills Creek Open Space
Preserve - Lands of Russian Convent of Our Lady of Vladimir, Inc.);
adopt the Preliminary Use and Management Plan recommendations
contained in the staff report, including naming the property Mills Creek
Open Space Preserve; and indicate their intention to dedicate the
property as public open space. P. Siemens seconded the motion.
Discussion: D. Little is delighted that the District can purchase the piece of property.
He challenged the name of the preserve, which attaches itself to the
adjoining creek to the preserve for eternity. He does not think "Mills
Creek" is a good choice because the creek is not the prominent feature of
the preserve (the gorgeous views are) and the creek will probably not be
accessible by the public.
Amendment: D. Little moved an amendment that the name Mills Creek be a
temporary name and the naming of the preserve be referred back to the
Use and Management Committee for ultimate naming. J. Cyr seconded
the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0.
Discussion: J. Cyr voiced his approval of obtaining this piece of property. N. Hanko
voiced she would vote for this property acquisition but voiced sadness
over the nuns' loss of a retreat dream place. K. Nitz was personally
saddened by this acquisition as well, though he too would vote in favor.
Vote on the main motion: The motion passed 7 to 0.
The Board took a five-minute break.
B. Agenda Item No. 2 - Approval of License Agreement for Big Creek Lumber Company
to Cross Over District-Owned Land at Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve (R-
00-91)
i .
Meeting 00-21 Page 5
D. Dart introduced Eric Huff, Chief Administrator and Forester from Big Creek
Lumber Company ("Big Creek"), and Paul Ringgold, Director of Stewardship for
Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST). D. Dart gave a brief historical overview of the
property. The District was concerned with the road systems on the preserve that hadn't
been maintained for a number of years. Big Creek was very helpful in addressing many
of the District's concerns, especially in terms of ascetics, future visitor use, and the
road system. The Timber Harvest Plan was submitted in April, 2000 and was approved
by CDF on June 15, 2000. Two harvest inspections took place before the approval of
the plans. D. Dart reviewed some of the projects Big Creek agreed to perform: Big
Creek agreed not to harvest "old growth," typically considered trees that were here at
the turn of the century (100 years old); they agreed to replace the twenty-plus culverts
that need work; and they will regrade all the roads they use and close the duplicated
roads. In response to K. Nitz's question about the location of the roads, D. Dart
showed the location of roads and culverts on a wall map.
D. Little asked about the siltation and erosion problem. D. Dart responded that Big
Creek will put a down spout by the culvert so no more erosion occurs there.
D. Dart stated that this year's timber harvest plan was approved in mid-June, 2000;
operations began for marking and preparing the site in July, and timber harvest began
in mid-July. He reviewed the harvest process.
D. Little questioned the liability of the District should a car crash occur on Bear Creek
Road at the 12A gate entrance site. S. Schectman stated that a permit doesn't
automatically give liability to the District.
D. Dart stated that Big Creek would be performing routine maintenance on the roads
(water bars in good working condition and any potholes) for the term of the license
agreement.
B. Crowder congratulated D. Dart on a great presentation and report. She asked about
the duration of the agreement. D. Dart answered that the agreement would either
terminate with the end of this timber harvest plan (June 14, 2005) or by issuance of
Notice of Completion from CDF and the master plan.
P. Siemens asked who was counting the board feet of trees felled by Big Creek. D.
Dart said that the District is the residual timber owner and will count the number from
the timber receipts submitted by Big Creek. He and J. Isaacs have initiated a forest
monitoring program at Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve. He explained the
purpose of the program to monitor the effects of the logging and the forest succession
to take place in the next five to ten years. D. Dart stated one area is being used as a
"control area." He spoke of giving an informative presentation to the Board about all
Meeting 00-21 Page 6
the activities at Bear Creek Open Space Preserve, including the demolition project and
this monitoring project at a future meeting.
B. Crowder is delighted that the District has staff members who know about forestry
and timber harvesting.
K. Nitz asked about the "Mellots" property, which does not include the peak, whether
it was included in the harvest. D. Dart stated that Big Creek has timber rights to that
parcel.
Motion: J. Cyr moved that the Board determine that the recommended actions are
categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) as set out in the staff report; and authorize the General Manager
to execute the License Agreement with Big Creek Lumber Company for
access at Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve. D. Little
seconded the motion.
Discussion: J. Cyr appreciates working with Big Creek. He was impressed with the
detail that went into this plan.
Vote: The motion passed 7 to 0.
Paul Ringgold stated that on behalf of POST, they are satisfied with the work Big
Creek has done, as well as that of the District. Eric Cull enjoyed working with the
District as well. He stated that by milling the wood, he felt that his company was
preserving open space as well. J. Cyr asked where the items are shipped. Mr. Cull
said that the majority of items goes to a place called Eco Timber in Berkeley and then
all over the world.
C. Agenda Item No. 3 - Proposed Addition of Silva Property to the Skyline Ridge Open
Space Preserve (R-00-97)
D. Woods stated that this acquisition was exciting for many reasons: Most importantly,
the property is surrounded by Skyline and Russian Ridge Open Space Preserves. The
property also included the last privately-owned Page Mill Trail area. The property is
very scenic and forms a beautiful mosaic of grassland of the Stanford sky ridge all the
way down to the state park. D. Woods demonstrated the property on wall maps. He
stated that approximately 97 acres on the west side of Alpine Road is being retained by
the sellers, but the District will have the first right of refusal on the property.
D. Woods showed slides of the property to the Board, noting certain geological and
natural aspects of the parcel.
Meeting 00-21 Page 7
D. Woods said the Use and Management Committee recommendations are fairly
standard calling for the site to remain closed. The District would routinely patrol the
property, and would remove the potentially hazardous materials. The District would be
naming the property as an addition to the Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve. The
report asks the Board to indicate their intentions to dedicate the land as public open
space.
B. Crowder asked about the grazing aspect. D. Woods asked J. Isaacs to review the
property, and, generally speaking, the staff feels that this is a good practice for this
area. J. Cyr said the issue of grazing continues to surface. He suggested we learn
about grazing from the gentleman who has been doing it for fifty years.
K. Nitz questioned that should a house fire take place where the caretaker is living,
would the District provide alternate housing for the caretaker"? C. Britton said the
house would be insured. S. Schectman checked the CC&R's which stated that the
caretaker is restricted to the 2-bedroom structure. M. Williams provided some personal
information about the caretaker. M. Williams reviewed the terms of the agreement
(included in the staff report) and stated that this acquisition was very fulfilling as he had
been working on it since his start at the District.
Motion: P. Siemens moved that the Board determine that the recommended
actions are categorically exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) as set out in the staff report; adopt Resolution No.
00-47, Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula
Regional Open Space District Authorizing Acceptance of the Purchase
Agreement, Authorizing Officer to Execute Certificate of Acceptance of
Grant to District, Authorizing the President of the Board, or Other
Appropriate Officer to Execute Grant of Life Estate and Authorizing
General Manager to Execute Any and All Other Documents Necessary
or Appropriate to Closing of the Transaction (Skyline Ridge Open Space
Preserve - Lands of Silva); tentatively adopt the Amended Use and
Management Plan recommendations contained in the staff report,
including naming the property as an addition to the Skyline Ridge Open
Space Preserve; and indicate their intention to dedicate the property as
public open space at this time. N. Hanko seconded the motion.
Discussion: B. Crowder and N. Hanko thought the acquisition was fabulous and
noted the Board had wanted this parcel for as long as they've been on the
Board. The Board and General Manager congratulated D. Woods with
his fine reporting on this project.
Vote: The motion passed 7 to 0.
Meeting 00-21 Page 8
D. Agenda Item No. 4 - Authorization to Hire Rana Creek Habitat Restoration to Finalize
Results from the Russian Ridge Grassland Management Project, Continue Restoration
Efforts, and Develop a District-Wide Seed Increase Program(R-00-101)
J. Isaacs stated the item before the Board was to authorize the General Manager and
staff to hire Rana Creek. The item has three components: (1) To continue the
restoration efforts at Russian Ridge for an additional 20 acres; (2) To finalize the
multi-year grassland management project at Russian Ridge (the comprehensive report
that will come to the Board in the winter); (3) To develop a district-wide seed increase
program.
Staff has learned about grassland restoration the past three years. One of the most
important facts is that restoration is about eliminating invasive plants, not just about star
thistle. It's also about increasing the diversity of native grass species.
Component one of the contract is to burn twenty acres in five acre blocks throughout
the preserve. This component will cost about $35,000. Component two involves the
comprehensive report, which will give the bigger picture of grassland restoration and
the management strategies that are available to us. The report will be taken to
CaIEPPC (California Exotic Pest Plant Council) and hopefully Restoration Notes, and
Native Grassland Brief Letter. This report will cost about $7,000.
The last component of the program is the seed increase program. The District was so
successful with the Russian Ridge reseeding that the program has spread District-wide.
The District collected 10 pounds of seed this year. Rana Creek cleans the seed, tests
the seed, plants it, and harvests it.
D. Little asked if Rana Creek had commercial interests in selling seeds in the
commercial market. J. Isaacs explained that Rana Creek is a "one-stop shop," with a
restoration component and nursery trade to promote native plants. B. Crowder asked
about the company's size. J. Isaacs answered it was very large, around 50,000 acres.
K. Nitz asked if this was the end of the burning and treatment of the area. J. Isaacs
said that question will be decided in the winter when all the data is available. She
provided a cost break-down of this project: In 1997, the District spent $43,000, in
1998, $48,000, in 1999, $48,000. So far, $139,000 has been spent on this preserve.
The proposed restoration efforts and the report will total $181,000.
C. Britton suggested the Board may want a special meeting on this subject to fully
understand the options to this plan and they may want to invite neighbors and other land
management agencies to that meeting.
Meeting 00-21 Page 9
B. Crowder stated that she thought that these types of projects are the best thing the
District is doing. The Board members congratulated J. Isaacs on a job well done.
Motion: P. Siemens moved that the Board determine that the proposed project is
categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) based on the findings contained in the staff report; Authorize
the General Manager to Execute a contract with Rana Creek Habitat
Restoration to 1) finalize the Russian Ridge Grassland Management
project, 2) continue restoration of 20 acres, and 3) develop a District-
wide seed increase program with a budget not to exceed $51,000 in fiscal
year 2000-2001. J. Cyr seconded the motion.
Vote: The motion passed 7 to 0.
C. Britton stated that J. Isaac's presentations are very good; he's pleased she's working
for the District and glad her work is acknowledged. He also acknowledged the
professionalism and knowledge of staff, particularly Dennis Dart who spoke on a
previous agenda item this evening.
E. Agenda Item No. 5 Approval of Salary Adjustment and Meritorious Pay Award for the
General Manager and Approval of Amendment to General Manager's Employme
Agreement; As a Result of the Board's Evaluation of the General Manager's
Performance for the Period of March 10, 1999 through March 9, 2000 and
Compensation Review for the Position, the Ad Hoc Board Appointee Evaluation
Committee Recommends a 4% Meritorious Pay Award Based on the General
Manager's Performance and a 15% Salary Adjustment Consisting of an 8.8% Parity
Adjustment and a 6.2% Cost of Living Increase, Retroactive to March 9, 2000, Adopt
the Resolution Amending the General Manager's Employment Agreement to Reflect an
Adjusted Salary of$126,884.01, a 4% Meritorious Pay Award Totaling $4,416.36, and
an Increase in Severance Compensation from 3 Months to 6 Months - (Report R-00-
100).
K. Nitz reviewed the findings of the Board Appointee Evaluation Committee to give the
General Manager a 6.2% Cost of Living Increase, an 8.8% parity increase, and a 4%
meritorious pay award based on his performance last year. The second part of the
recommendation is to change his severance compensation from 3 months to 6 months.
Motion: P. Siemens moved that the Board adopt the recommended actions. D.
Little seconded the motion.
Vote: The motion passed 7 to 0.
Meeting 00-21 Page 10
VIII. INFORMATIONAL REPORTS
M. Davey: 1. She stated it was a wonderful evening, given the District acquisitions and the
staff presentations. 2. She stated we are now coming to a close on the Stanford EIR; the
remarks to the County are now in and being evaluated. The District will have a comment on
the EIR, provided by Randy Anderson. 3. There was a Community Resource Meeting last
week regarding the draft EIR: the upshot was that the draft EIR doesn't speak to permanent
open space preservation, nor does it speak about permanent housing on the campus. The hope
is that this EIR will save the foothills and it will be completed by October, 2000.
P. Siemens: 1. He stated that Los Gatos voted to give POST a grant of$50,000. 2. He took
a walk with POST staff members and some contributors to explain coastal annexation and he
gave a brief description of District relations with POST.
N. Hanko: 1. She noted that both she and M. Davey gave R. Anderson their private opinions
regarding the Stanford Draft EIR. She instructed the Board members that her written reports
were provided to them this evening. She also had a constructive meeting with the Planning
department member from Palo Alto who wrote Palo Alto's position. He relayed the city's
concerns to her, and she passed those to R. Anderson. In this way, perhaps the District would
be a force on this issue. 3. She and B. Crowder had a super time at the Volunteer Event this
past weekend. She stated it was wonderful and stated that J. Isaacs made a fantastic
presentation that was well-received by the audience. The presentation that Frank Gilcrest gave
on John Muir was excellent and mesmorizing. At the event, both B. Crowder and she received
applause on the Board's behalf for their position taken on the policy on trail closures.
B. Crowder: 1. She concurred that the Volunteer Event was absolutely wonderful. 2. She
went on a full moon hike led by docent Roger Meyers. 3. She reported that this past Sunday
the South Skyline Association had their annual potluck overlooking Yerba Buena. The
highlight of that evening was a fire safety presentation given by Patrick Congdon. 3. She and
Lori Raymaker were to meet with Rod Brown on Friday regarding the biking issue.
J. Cyr has been anticipating attending the fire (controlled burn) at Russian Ridge Open Space
Preserve.
D. Little: 1. He was at Russian Ridge OSP on Sunday and he noticed that the back-burn areas
had a lack of star thistle in these areas. 2. He spoke with some folks in the biking
community, Dani Weber and Rod Brown, regarding the trail closure issue, which he saw as a
management issue.
K. Nitz passed, no FYI's to report.
Meeting 00-21 Page 11
C. Britton: 1. He reported that Monte Sereno has given $12,000 for the purchase of Bear
Creek Redwoods OSP. 2. The Kerns property in Los Altos Hills has been approved by the
town council for housing; there will be an appeal to this decision. 3. The Board was
expecting the Santa Clara Valley Water District resolution this evening, but it has been
postponed until August 9. He had a copy of their full survey. 4. He distributed a copy of the
Wisconsin study for each Board member. 5. He also distributed the Oakland study regarding
mountain bikes. 6. He announced the District had completed the audit as of March 31, 2000.
7. He mentioned the Management Team Retreat process. They completed a working plan for
this issue. 8. He brought the Board up-to-date on the Alma Fire Station. The District is out
of the picture at this time and the station will be saved. 9. He announced the hiring of the
Planning Manager, who is Cathy Woodbury, and she will start with the District on August 14.
He gave some background on her. 10. He was offered the opportunity to be on Bay TV
tomorrow with Rodney Brown regarding the biking issue.
D. Dolan: 1. Every year the Board members need to complete a Form 470 and they are due
July 31. 2. She reminded everyone about the staff recognition event scheduled for Friday,
September 15, 2000.
S. Jensen: 1. She reported she received 37 media interviews and 68 media calls regarding the
Convent sale. 2. She reported that Kristi Webb and Lori Raymaker are working on the
history of the District for the first exhibit in the newly-constructed Los Altos History Museum.
3. She attended a Green Party meeting and made a presentation and reported most of the
Green Party members were supportive of the District's decision on trail policy.
David Sanguinetti gave an update on the fire/controlled burn situation. The field staff and the
CDF crew black-lined the area to be burned so the District is now ready to perform when the
time and weather conditions permit.
