MEMORANDUM
March 7, 1975
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
SUBJECT: Open Space Resources Program
Introduction: At the February 26, 1975 meeting, the Board
of Directors instructed the General Manager to return on
March 12, 1975 with the following items :
(1) Recommended Ranger Job Description and salary range
(2) Plan for storage of fire and maintenance vehicle
(3) Recommended specifications for above vehicle
Discussion: The draft Ranger Job Description is attached.
The recommended salary range was determined by carefully
analyzing salaries of positions with comparable duties and
responsibilities in other nearby public agencies. In addi-
tion, checks were made against statewide data which is on
hand. Consideration was also given to equity in salary
compared to our existing staff. The recommended monthly
salary range is $931 to $1208. It is anticipated that an
individual will be hired near the lower end of the range.
This range is intended to be current (March, 1975) . Salary
ranges of General Manager appointees will be reviewed at
budget preparation time in accordance with adopted policy.
The attached memorandum (M-75-43) dated March 6, 1975 and
entitled "Alternative Storage Recommendations for Vehicle
Type A" from Jon Olson to me reviews vehicle storage plans.
Another attached memorandum (M-75-47) which is attached from
Jon Olson to me, dated March 7, 1975 and entitled "Ordering
of Fire and Maintenance Truck" outlines the situation with
respect to ordering the fire and maintenance vehicle. The
adoption of the attached resolution will be necessary to
order through the State pool.

MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT
MEMORANDUM
March 6, 1975
TO: H. Grench, General Manager
FROM: J. Olson, Land Manager
SUBJECT: Alternative Storage Recommendations for Fire and
Maintenance Vehicle
My long-range recommendation is that Vehicle Type A should be
stored at either Fremont Older Preserve or Permanente Creek Park
if and when the District acquires these sites. The decision
as to which of these sites to use would be based in part upon
the proximity of the site to the ranger' s residence (possibly
on-site) . Since this information is unknown at this time, we
will have to wait until a ranger has been hired before a deci-
sion is made.
It is unlikely that we will receive delivery of this vehicle
until after June 1 of this year, by which time the District may
have acted on the above sites. If no decision has been made,
or if it is not feasible to use the sites during June or July,
I would recommend, preferably, that storage space at a garage
near the District office be rented or that an assigned staff
person take the vehicle home each day if there is a suitable
storage area at their home. The space would have to be secure
and immediately accessible by staff day or night. This recom-
mendation would be intended to cover only that period from when
we receive delivery of the vehicle until a permanent storage
space was available on District property.
There are other factors involved in determining whether or not
the vehicle should be taken home by a staff person. These would
include:
1. Geographic location of residence.
2. Suitable storage at residence.
3. Frequency of calls necessitating response by staff
person after 5: 00 P.M.
4. Potential for on-site tenants to respond to calls
rather than staff persons.

MEMORANDUM
March 7, 1975
TO: H. Grench, General Manager
FROM: Jon Olson, Land Manager
SUBJECT: Ordering of Fire and Maintenance Vehicle
I have contacted the City of Palo Alto and Santa Clara County
regarding purchasing and specifications for the "Type A"
maintenance and fire truck. Both of these agencies purchase
their four-wheel-drive pick-up trucks through the State of
California General Services Administration.
Each year the State GSA develops specifications for vehicles
most commonly used by State, county and other local agencies.
These vehicle types include sedans, two and four-wheel drive
pick-up trucks and police cars. All of these vehicle speci-
fications include heavy duty axles, springs, cooling systems
and transmissions. The State charges counties and local
agencies 1% of the vehicle price for this service.
The State then solicits bids from all the major manufacturers.
This year' s low bid for trucks was submitted by Dodge, there-
fore if purchased through the State the truck would be a
Dodge.
The specifications are for a basic vehicle equipped with
the heavy duty equipment mentioned above. The dealer handling
the State contract for the Bay Area is Dodge Center in Red-
wood City.
A further aspect of the State contract allows special equip-
ment such as a winch, utility body, step bumper, etc. to be
ordered by the local agency at dealer cost plus 10% . This
special equipment is installed by the local dealer.
Dave Brodie, Purchasing Director for the City of Palo Alto,
and Dan Littleman, who is in charge of vehicle procurement
for Santa Clara County, have advised me that the simplest,
M-75-47 Page two
quickest and cheapest way for the District to purchase a vehicle
would be through the State program. The District is eligible
to purchase through the State General Service Administration.
Incidentally, the Palo Alto fire truck that the Board inspected
and all of the County Park and Recreation pick-up trucks were
purchased through this program.
Based on the above I am recommending that we purchase the truck
through State GSA. In order to proceed it will be necessary
for the Board to pass the attached resolution at the March 12
meeting. Delivery of the truck would be approximately 75 days
after the order has been placed or about mid-June. I would
recommend that the truck be painted white, with the MRPD logo
applied to both doors.
If the Board approves the above recommendation and resolution,
I will proceed to obtain quotes on the "slip on" water tank
and pump with delivery of the tank and pump to be concurrent
with delivery of the truck.

There are a number of locations within the District that
are attractive and secluded, and are potentially excellent
locations for wilderness experience. These sites are not com-
patible with open space uses which involve substantial amounts
of human activity; they are, however, fully compatible with
such open space uses as wildlife and vegetation protection,
water production, the protection of the public from natural
hazards.
Acquisition Policy
1. THE DISTRICT WILL ACQUIRE, THROUGH PURCHASE AND DONA-
TION, LAND OR RIGHTS IN LAND TO PROVIDE FOR THE WILDER-

D. TRAILS
Walking, bicycling, horseback riding and backpacking are
among the most rapidly growing forms of recreation in the United
States. There is a great need for more, and more easily acces-
sible, public trails and pathways to accommodate these growing
forms of recreation. The need to conserve fuel accentuates
the desirability of public trails in and near urban areas. Easy
accessibility through trails is an important factor for public
enjoyment of open space.
The District believes that all levels of government have a
role to play in developing a comprehensive trail and pathway
system within the District. Various methods to establish trail
rights of way, including both purchase of fee and acquisition
of trail easements, are available to all levels of government.
Eminent domain powers for trails are available to the District.
The District intends to take a strong lead in planning for,
and to participate in the implementation of recreational trails
that have regional significance.

no intensive development of the hills and mountains surrounding
the valley will be permitted. Carefully regulated low density
development should be allowed only in a manner that will pre-
serve the integrity of the natural landscape. Scenic ridgetops
which surround the valley should be preserved in their natural
state. Water bodies - including creeks, streams, lakes, marshes
and other wetlands - and areas adjacent to them should be pro-
tected for their value as scenic open space areas.
Acquisition Policy
1. THE DISTRICT WILL ACQUIRE, THROUGH PURCHASE AND DONA-
TION, LAND OR RIGHTS IN LAND FOR THE PRESERVATION OF
THE SCENIC BACKDROP.
B. VIEW FROM SCENIC ROADS AND HIGHWAYS
Within the District there are a large number of roads and
highways traversing scenic rural areas. Leisurely travel on
these roads can be a pleasurable recreational and open space
experience. Some of the views from these roads have been given
protection by scenic highway zoning; others are relatively un-
protected.
Preservation of the view from a scenic highway does not
necessarily require the acquisition of property, nor the right
of the public to enter onto the property viewed. Use of scenic
easements or Williamson Act agreements are also useful for this
purpose.
The District believes that all jurisdictions should protect
their key scenic corridors by zoning and by other restrictions
prohibiting roadside advertising and other development incom-
patible with the scenic quality of the roadside and landscape.

1. THE DISTRICT WILL CONSIDER ACQUIRING, THROUGH PURCHASE

TION OF THE VIEW FROM SCENIC ROADS AND HIGHWAYS, IF
SUCH LAND ALSO HAS OTHER SUBSTANTIAL OPEN SPACE VALUE
OR IF SUCH LAND IS PARTICULARLY THREATENED BY INAPPRO-
PRIATE DEVELOPMENT.
Subcommittee
Draft 3/4/75
VII. OPEN SPACE FOR THE PROTECTION OF AGRICULTURE
Agricultural land - including orchards, farms and grazing
lands, has traditionally been an important form of open space
in the District. In the past, this land has provided visual
and functional buffers between urbanized centers. However, as
sprawling urbanization proceeded, vast agricultural lands
were subdivided and developed. The prime agricultural soils
of the District have largely been covered by homes, industry
and pavement. Few economically viable agricultural enterprises
remain.
The District believes that lands with value for agriculture
should be identified as potential agricultural preserves. Those
agencies having jurisdiction should discourage urbanization and
encourage retention of agricultural use. Urban services should
not be extended to such land. Use of the Williamson Act should
be encouraged and other means of permanently preserving agri-
cultural land should be investigated and implemented by appro-
priate governmental agencies.
The District also believes that local jurisdictions should
preserve remnants of orchards and other agricultural lands
within urban areas as educational and historical reminders of
the agricultural heritage of the Santa Clara Valley.
Acquisition Policies
1. THE DISTRICT WILL CONSIDER ACQUIRING, THROUGH PURCHASE
AND DONATION, LAND OR RIGHTS IN LAND WHICH IS USED FOR
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IF SUCH LAND ALSO HAS OTHER
SUBSTANTIAL OPEN SPACE VALUE.
VIII. OPEN SPACE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF MINERALS
The evaporation ponds found in the baylands of the District
are the first stages in the harvesting of appreciable quantities
of salt. There are also mineral extraction sites , particularly
gravel and limestone quarries, in the foothill and mountainous
areas. While in some cases these mineral recovery operations
have served to preserve both land and water open spaces, they
have also damaged or substantially altered the natural environ-
ment.
The District believes all mineral recovery activities should
be carefully regulated by appropriate jurisdictions in order to
minimize damage to the environment and to insure that extraction
sites and salt ponds are ultimately returned to a more natural
condition.

Subcommittee
Draft 3/4/75
I . OPEN SPACE FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATURAL VEGETATION
Much of the natural beauty of the remaining open spaces in
the District is due to the abundance, diversity and in some cases
uniqueness of the natural vegetation. This vegetation, from the
low growing pickleweed of the bayland marshes to the majestic
redwoods of the Santa Cruz mountains, provides the necessary
habitats for a great variety of wildlife. The vegetation is of
inestimable value in reducing soil erosion, decreasing runoff
and aiding water absorption in watershed areas, as well as
greatly improving air quality. The diversity of vegetation found
in the District' s marshes, grasslands, forests and chaparral also
provides outstanding educational and nature appreciation oppor-
tunities to the area' s residents.
The valuable vegetative resources of the District are threat-
ened in many ways, not only by the pressures of urbanization but
by logging, grading, land filling (particularly in the baylands) ,
certain intensive recreational activities and quarry operations.
The District believes that human activities which destroy
vegetation should be strictly regulated by the appropriate govern-
mental agencies. Rare or endangered plant species should be
protected by governmental agencies. Provisions must be made for
enforcement of these regulations, and for restoration of natural
vegetation whenever possible.
Acquisition Policies
1. THE DISTRICT WILL ACQUIRE, THROUGH PURCHASE AND DONATION,
LAND OR RIGHTS IN LAND FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATURAL
VEGETATION.
2. THE DISTRICT WILL ACQUIRE AND PRESERVE REPRESENTATIVE
EXAMPLES OF MAJOR VEGETATIVE COMMUNITIES.
II . OPEN SPACE FOR THE PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE
Each species of wildlife has its own intrinsic value and con-
tributes to the quality of life around us. This generation and
future generations must have the opportunity to observe and enjoy
the wild creatures which inhabit the nearby open spaces. The
opportunity to study this wildlife can add greatly to our knowledge
of the effects of human intrusion on the natural environment.
Human settlement of this area and the resulting conflicts with
nature have had harmful effects on the wildlife of the region.
Gone are the grizzlies, cats and condors that once roamed freely

Draft
1/2/75
The District believes that open space necessary for low
intensity recreation must be preserved while it is still avail-
able. Such land must also be protected from concentrations
of human activity so that the natural setting is not substan-
tially disturbed. Low intensity recreation requires little
investment in buildings, utilities or other facilities, and
is frequently compatible with other open space uses.
Acquisition Policies
1. THE DISTRICT WILL ACQUIRE, THROUGH PURCHASE AND DONA-
TION, LAND OR RIGHTS IN LAND FOR LOW INTENSITY RECREA-
TION.
2. THE DISTRICT WILL COOPERATE WITH AND CONSIDER JOINT
VENTURES WITH APPROPRIATE AGENCIES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOW INTENSITY RECREATION.
B. INTENSIVE RECREATION
The District defines intensive recreation as recreation
in which there is a concentration of human activity in a limited
area. Such activity generally requires the construction of
facilities such as ballfields, swimming pools, playgrounds,
campgrounds and buildings. Although such recreational oppor-
tunities are essential in a well-rounded society, the District
believes that the provision of necessary facilities is mainly
the responsibility of school districts, cities, the County and
of private enterprise where appropriate.
Acquisition Policies
1. THE DISTRICT WILL CONSIDER ACQUIRING, THROUGH PURCHASE
AND DONATION, LAND OR RIGHTS IN LAND WHICH IS VALUED
FOR INTENSIVE RECREATION IF SUCH LAND ALSO HAS OTHER
SUBSTANTIAL OPEN SPACE VALUE.
2. THE DISTRICT WILL CONSIDER ENTERING INTO COOPERATIVE
PROGRAMS WHEREBY OTHER AGENCIES (PUBLIC AND PRIVATE)
WILL PROVIDE RECREATIONAL FACILITIES ON DISTRICT LAND,
IF OTHER SIGNIFICANT OPEN SPACE VALUES WILL BE PRO-
TECTED.
C. WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE
The District defines wilderness experience as a form of
recreation which is, basically, "communing with nature" in a
quiet, secluded natural area. Areas suitable for this exper-
ience should be free from the visual signs, sounds and smells
of civilization, and should provide a sense of isolation and
privacy.

in this area. Several other species are presently threatened
with extinction by the continued intrusion of people on the open
spaces which provide the food, nesting and resting areas necessary
for wildlife survival. Although some species can adapt to this
urbanization, others can survive only if their habitats are
preserved in a natural state, largely undisturbed by people.
We are fortunate to have in the District a great variety of
natural areas which provide diverse habitats for numerous species
of wildlife. The marshes and saltponds provide a valuable feed-
ing and nesting area for a variety of waterfowl, small mammals
and marine life. These baylands also lie along the Pacific Fly-
way and thus provide a sanctuary for waterfowl and migratory birds
which roam far beyond the borders of the District. The chaparral,
grasslands, forests and streams of this area each contribute to
the support of a great diversity of birds and animals.
The District believes that governmental agencies must take
appropriate action to protect wildlife in general, those species
unique to this area, and particularly those animals and birds
which are on the State or Federal lists of rare and endangered
species.
Acquisition Policies
1. THE DISTRICT WILL ACQUIRE, THROUGH PURCHASE AND DONATION,
LAND OR RIGHTS IN LAND FOR THE PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE.
2. THE DISTRICT WILL CONSIDER ACQUISITION AND ESTABLISHMENT
OF SPECIAL PRESERVATION AREAS IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE
HABITATS OF RARE OR ENDANGERED SPECIES FOUND IN THIS AREA.
III. OPEN SPACE FOR OUTDOOR RECREATION
A. LOW INTENSITY RECREATION
In this commercial and mechanized society, one of the most
rewarding experiences can be the escape from the noise and
pressures of an urban center to the peace and quiet of un-
spoiled open spaces. Here, where there is little development
and few people, an individual may rejuvenate body and spirit
with such activities as walking, horseback riding, picnicking
and kiteflying, or by simply observing and communing with
nature. Such recreational lands have even greater value when
they can be easily and quickly reached from home or work.
This accessibility will become increasingly important as the
fuel shortage becomes more acute.

IV. OPEN SPACE FOR GUIDING URBAN FORM
Uncontrolled urban sprawl and leapfrog development have been
destructive to agriculture, have made efficient local government
difficult and provision of urban services costly, and have aggra-
vated pollution and transportation problems. This destructive
and wasteful process of urban development must be controlled by
careful planning and proper land use regulations , and by the phased
extension of urban services. To this end the District encourages
and supports the efforts of the cities, the County and the Local
Agency Formation Commission to enact and enforce land use policies
and regulations to guide urban form and to confine urban develop-
ment within Urban Service Areas. The District believes that the
boundaries of these areas should be strictly limited to reflect
the anticipated five year growth plan which they are intended to
represent.
Along with the planning and regulation of development, perman-
ent open spaces on the urban fringe should be acquired to induce
compact development and to limit urban sprawl. It is this critical
open space which is particularly threatened by development that
is also most valuable for guiding urban form.
Acquisition Policy
1. THE DISTRICT WILL ACQUIRE, THROUGH PURCHASE AND DONATION,
LAND OR RIGHTS IN LAND FOR GUIDING URBAN FORM.
V. OPEN SPACE FOR SCENIC PRESERVATION
A. THE SCENIC BACKDROP
The slopes and ridges of the mountains which are visible
from the Santa Clara Valley floor are especially valuable
as a scenic resource. Bodies of water, including the Bay, the
reservoirs, and streamsides, are valuable elements of the
natural landscape and important scenic resources as well. The
scenic value of land and water areas can be greatly diminished
if urban development is allowed to encroach upon them.
Preservation of the scenic backdrop does not necessarily
require the acquisition of the property in fee simple, nor
does it require public access to the property. The public
interest is retained through less-than-fee acquisition, such
as scenic easements, or through use of the Williamson Act.
The District believes that all jurisdictions should enact
and enforce reasonable zoning and land use regulations so that
-6-
no intensive development of the hills
4surrounding the valley
will be permitted. Carefully regulated low density develop-
ment should be allowed only in a manner that will preserve the
integrity of the natural landscape. Scenic ridgetops which
surround the valley should be preserved in their natural state.
Water bodies - including creeks, streams, lakes, marshes and
other wetlands - and areas adjacent to them should be pro-
tected for their value as scenic open space areas.
Acquisition Policy
1. THE DISTRICT WILL ACQUIRE, THROUGH PURCHASE AND DONA-
TION, LAND OR RIGHTS IN LAND FOR THE PRESERVATION OF
THE SCENIC BACKDROP.
B. VIEW FROM SCENIC ROADS AND HIGHWAYS
Within the District there are a large number of roads and
highways traversing scenic rural areas. Leisurely travel on
these roads can be a pleasurable recreational and open space
experience. Some of the views from these roads have been given
protection by scenic highway zoning; others are relatively un-
protected.
Preservation of the view from a scenic highway does not
necessarily require the acquisition of property, nor the right
of the public to enter onto the property viewed. Use of scenic
easements or Williamson Act agreements are also useful for this
purpose.
The District believes that all jurisdictions should protect
their key scenic corridors by zoning and by other restrictions
prohibiting roadside advertising and other development incom-
patible with the scenic quality of the roadside and landscape.

VI . OPEN SPACE FOR THE PRESERVATION OF UNIQUE SITES
A. HISTORICAL AND ARCHEOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Substantial cultural and educational benefits can be de-
rived from preserving the historic and archeologic remnants
of our past. Within the District there are a number of identi-
fied points of historical or archeological significance, as
well as many sites of probable significance.
The District believes that local jurisdictions should
attempt to identify historical and archeological sites, and
implement ordinances and programs' for their preservation and
restoration.

2. THE AVAILABILITY OF COOPERATION FROM OTHER PUBLIC
AGENCIES OR PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS IN MEETING THE COSTS
OF PRESERVING AND OPERATING HISTORIC STRUCTURES AND
FACILITIES WILL BE AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CONSIDERING
ACQUISITION.
B. GEOLOGICAL AND TOPOGRAPHICAL FEATURES
There are within the District a number of unique land forms,
outstanding view sites and areas of geological interest. For
example, in the San Andreas Rift Zone, which runs the length
of the District, there are some exceptional places to view the
results of earth movement along that fault. These and many
other unique features can provide an exceptional educational
or recreational experience. The District believes these sites
should be identified and preserved.

OPEN SPACE VALUES .
IX. OPEN SPACE FOR THE PROTECTION OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
A. AIR QUALITY
Because of the nature of the Santa Clara Valley air basin,
the area' s population and present means of transportation, air
pollution is a significant problem in the Valley. It causes
harm to human health, and damage to property, animal and plant
life, including agricultural crops. The greatest single con-
tributor to the frequently severe air pollution is the auto-
mobile. Containment of urban sprawl can help to limit the
problems of pollution by the automobile. The vegetation and
water surfaces of the open spaces of the District contribute
greatly to the cleansing of pollutants from the air and the
regeneration of oxygen.
B. WATER QUALITY
Water produced within the District is used for a variety
of purposes, such as domestic water supply, agricultural irri-
gation, groundwater rechrage, recreation, and water supply for
native vegetation and for wildlife. The quality of water
produced can be adversely affected by human activity on lands
within the watersheds.
C. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
Certain areas within the District are subject to earthquake
fault rupture, landslides and tsunamis. While all of the
District land is subject to earthquakes, the degree of risk
to life and property varies significantly with. location. For
example, slope, soil condition, proximity to earthquake faults
and underlying rock structure are important factors when
evaluating geologic hazards.
D. FIRE RISK
Most of the Santa Cruz Mountains is rated as extreme fire
hazard area due to poor access, slow response time for fire-
_10-
VII . OPEN SPACE FOR THE PROTECTION OF AGRICULTURE
Agricultural land - including orchards, farms and grazing
lands - has traditionally been an important form of open space
in the District. In the past, this land has provided visual and
functional buffers between urbanized centers. However, as
sprawling urbanization proceeded, vast agricultural lands were
subdivided and developed. The prime agricultural soils of the
District have largely been covered by homes, industry and pave-
ment. Few economically viable agricultural enterprises remain.
The District believes that lands with value for agriculture
should be identified as potential agricultural preserves. Those
agencies having jurisdiction should discourage urbanization and
encourage retention of agricultural use. Urban services should
not be extended to such land. Use of the Williamson Act should
be encouraged and other means of permanently preserving agricul-
tural land should be investigated and implemented by appropriate
governmental agencies.
The District also believes that local jurisdictions should
preserve remnants gf -orchards and other agricultural lands within
urban areas as educational and histo-rical reminders of the agri-
cultural heritage of the Santa Clara Valley.

VIII. OPEN SPACE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF MINERALS
The evaporation ponds found in the bay, s of the District are
the first stages in the harvesting of ap _iable quantities of salt.
There are also mineral extraction, sl particularly gravel and
limestone quarries, in the foothi14 re . While in some cases
these mineral recovery operations have served to preserve both land
and water open spaces, they have also damaged or substantilly al-
tered the natural environment.
The District believes all mineral recovery activities should
be carefully regulated by appropriate jurisdictions in order to
minimize damage to the environment and to insure that extraction
sites and salt ponds are ultimately returned to a more natural con-
dition.

fighting vehicles, lack of water, flammable vegetative cover
steep slopes, climate conditions, and accumulated brush. It
is in the public interest to minimize the use of high fire
risk areas for human habitation.
E. FLOODING
Certain baylands and creeksides within the District are
subject from time to time to flooding. When urban development
occurs in these areas human life and property are endangered.
Flood hazard is aggravated by development, which reduces the
area available for absorption of rain water by the soil.
Summary
The District believes that land use planning and zoning poli-
cies should be implemented by local jurisdictions to limit, or
in some cases prohibit, development in areas which present a sig-
nificant risk to public health and safety.

MEMORANDUM
To Board of Directors, Midpeninsula
Regional Park District
From Larz Anderson, Planning Consultant
Subject: Review of Master Plan information
4
1. Volunteers and your staff have recently completed coloring
a multitude of maps which show open-space characteristics
of the non-urban lands within the MRPD. Herb Grench,
Don Weden, and I have made a preliminary review of these
maps , and we believe that it would now be appropriate
for Board members to peruse them. I therefore recommend
that:
A - Each Board member examine the series of maps in
order to:
1) Ascertain whether each map does, in fact,
portray in a reasonably accurate manner that
information which it is intended to portray.
(For example: does the map showing "open space
for intensive recreation" show the relative rating
of lands, when evaluated for their suitability
for intensive recreation?) and
2) Identify any anomalies; that is, ratings of
individual land units which ,just don't seem to
fit into the general rating system.
2. Two maps have been prepared which indicate the results of
applying alternative policies in order to evaluate the
relative importance to the MRPD of each "land unit". Map
19-A represents a "weighting" of values which represents
our preliminary estimate of Board policies; Map 24-A
represents an "equal weighting" of each open space category.
These weightings are indicated on the attached table.
We would like to get individual Board members' reactions
on whether or not Map 19A appears to reflect the relative
values held by the MRPD Board--and some indication of what
type of changes should be made to make it more reasonable
or more accurate.

Review of Master Plan information Page Two
3. After we get the Board input outlined above, we will:
A. correct any errors that have been identified
B. re-run the program, utilizing the relative weighting of
scores that evolve as a result of Board review
4. Concerning the timing of Board review: we would like to get
Board review as soon as possible. We realize, however, that
the map review may take several hours for each Board member,
and that this time may not be immediately available. I would
like to suggest that Board members' written comments be
turned in to the District office no later than Monday,
March 17.
5. Concerning the timing of completion of the Master Plan: I
believe we are nearly finished with the data analysis ; the
Board has reviewed basic policies; Santa Clara County is
progressing with graphics for the report. It would appear to
be appropriate for us to proceed with the assembly of a first
draft of the Master Plan. I will therefore schedule my time
so that I can get back to work on this program, and complete
the project in a timely manner.
