This claim is based on personal injuries sustained by Lori on March 28, 1977 at the parking lot area of the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve. She was injured along walk while walking home from school and decided to w a g the horizontal telephone poles marking the parking area. These telephone poles were held in place by steel stakes. One of the poles was not secure and moved causing Lori to fall and injure her leg on one of the steel stakes. The amount claimed as of this date is $9.00 for medical care. Estimated prospective damages as far as known for future medical and hospital expenses for plastic surgery is $1,000.00 All notices or other communications with regard to this claim should by sent to Mr. and Mrs. Steve Stuckey, parents of Lori, at P.O.

Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Proposed Acquisition of an Addition to Permanente Creek Park (Roman Catholic Archbishop Property) Summary: The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District can now fulfill its part of the intergovernmental parks project with Santa Clara County and the City of Sunnyvale by purchasing 199 acres of the Roman Catholic Archbishop property (St. Joseph' s Seminary ex- cess land) for $366 ,000 . Santa Clara County will be purchasing an additional 340 acres of the St. Joseph's property for a North County Park and also the 213 acre Sunnyvale Mountain Park adjacent to the Sanborn-Skyline County Park. Sunnyvale will use the proceeds of the sale for the acquisition of urban open space. State Roberti-Z 'berg funds in the amount of $137 ,820 would be used to help fund 119 acres of the District' s acquisition in a project already approved by the State. This acreage is particularly impor- tant in connecting the 371 acre Permanente Creek Park and the pro- posed North County Park. Background: On January 14 , 1976 the Board of Directors approved a motion to support the City of Cupertino' s County Park Study proposal, which included the possible acquisition of a portion of the St. Joseph' s property, located at the intersection of Inter- state 280 and Foothill Boulevard, as an urban regional park. At the July 28, 1976 meeting, the Board of Directors established a Board Subcommittee to explore possibilities for an intergovern- mental parks project with representatives of Santa Clara County, the City of Sunnyvale and the District. The Board acted to final- ize the agreement with the County on April 27, 1977. The project evolved as follows : A. Santa Clara County would buy Sunnyvale Mountain Park as an addition to Sanborn-Skyline County Park. B. Sunnyvale would use proceeds of sale for purchase of urban open space. C. Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District would partici- pate in the purchase of portions of the St. Joseph's pro- perty at least to the extent of the purchase price paid by the County to Sunnyvale for the Mountain Park. l I 8/16/77 Line 6 of report should read 11127 acre fth St. Joseph' s property" Carro ll Harrington R-77-36 Page two At the April 27, 1977 meeting of the Board of Directors, a res- olution was passed approving the application for grant funds under the Roberti-Z'Berg Urban Open Space and Recreation Program with a Permanente Creek Park Addition Acquisition as the proposed project. Funds received from this grant would be applied to the purchase of a portion of the Archdiocese property, providing a link between the existing District site and the new Santa Clara County park site to be acquired. Since the property is situated on a hillside above Permanente Creek Park it serves as a valua- ble scenic viewshed for the preserve as well as for residents of Los Altos, Los Altos Hills , Sunnyvale and Cupertino. Since previous reports (see R-77-18 dated 3/23/77) have already dealt with the characteristics of the site, the following dis- cussion is in summary form. Description of the Site: A. Size and Boundaries. The 199 acre property is bordered by the District' s Permanente Creek Park to the north, Kaiser- Permanente property to the south and west, and St. Joseph' s Seminary and the proposed County park to the east (see attached map) . B. Topography, Geology and Soils. The property is situated on a hillside with elevation varying from 400 feet to 1400 feet. Two tributaries of Permanente Creek and numerous minor steep sided drainage canyons form a series of parallel ridges. Soils appear to be of the Maymen-Los Gatos-Gaviota Association, on 30 to 75% slopes, severely ereoded, with medium to rapid run- off and high erosion hazard. The Shannon Fault touches the northeastern tip of the existing preserve and is 0. 3 miles or 0. 5 kilometers east of the proposed acquisition. C. Vegetation and Wildlife. The chamise chaparral community pre- dominates, with pockets of oak-bay woodland in narrow creek drainage canyons. A small grassy area on the ridge is revert- ing to brush. Wildlife associated with this type of community include mule deer, coyote, brush rabbit, hawks and rattlesnakes. Current Use and Development: A PG&E powerline and an associated unpaved service road cross the property in an east-west direction. The road affords access to the southern border of Permanente Creek Park and is frequently used by hikers and equestrians. A corner of the 80 acres not included in the State-funded project appears to be encroached upon by the Kaiser-Permanente quarry op- eration (see map) . R-77-36 Page three Planning Considerations : The MROSD draft Master Plan evaluation, which rates lands according to various open space values, shows the property as scoring highest in the following categories : view from scenic roads and highways, wilderness experience, scenic backdrop and composite score, and second highest in low intensity recreation, protection of natural vegetation and protection of agriculture. The property is within an unincorporated portion of Santa Clara County and located within Cupertino' s Sphere of Influence. Relationship to Regional Trails Plan: The draft MROSD Trails Task Force map schematically shows a trail routed through Permanente Creek Park connecting Los Altos with the main Santa Cruz Mountain trails. It could be located on the proposed acquisition. Potential Use and Management: The proposed acquisition represents an important link connecting the existing Permanente Creek Park and the proposed County park. Since the County plans a park offer- ing more intensive types of recreation, the areas would complement one another. For example, after hiking in the MROSD Preserve , vis- itors could use the Santa Clara County park picnic facilities , or vice versa. Interim Use and Management Recommendations : A use and management plan for Permanente Creek Park was adopted in February of 1977. The plan is scheduled for an update in February of 1978 with a comprehensive review in February of 1979. Specific physical improve- ment and long term use recommendations for this addition will be in- corporated in one of the following planning phases: (1) the update, if there is an urgent need for approval, (2) the review, or (3) in a cooperative management plan established with the County regarding the adjacent County park. A. The site should remain open at the present level of use by hikers and equestrians. B. The extremely small area of grassland is probably not suitable for grazing, but long term recommendations involv- ing vegetation management alternatives should be discussed in the comprehensive grazing plan for Permanente Creek Park expected to be completed by December of 1977. C. The existing unsurfaced road should be designated as a trail until an alternate route connection with the existing Park can be established. This road would be used for patrol purposes as well. Name: The proposed 119 acre acquisition would become part of the Permanente Creek Park and be unofficially known by the same name until the Board Subcommittee on site naming policies has completed its work. R-77-36 Page four Phasing of Acquisition: Title to the 119 acres being acquired with State Urban Open Space and Recreation Program funds will transfer to the MROSD as soon as the escrow is closed. This area is shown as "A" on the attached map. The remaining 80 acre portion shown as "B" on the attached map, would be placed in a holding agreement with the title company while staff studies the impact of Kaiser-Permanente's quarry operations and possible en- croachment on the parcel. The District will, however, have pos- sessory ownership rights immediately. The possible encroachment is shown as "C" on the attached map. It is conceivable that a boundary realignment with Kaiser-Permanente could be developed which would allow Kaiser-Permanente' s acceptance of any encroached upon portion and in turn transfer to the District some other Kaiser- Permanente land west of the acquisition, perhaps including the PG&E power line service road which serves as a trail segment toward Black Mountain. Terms: Santa Clara County has negotiated the purchase as a whole of both the District and County funded acquisitions, based upon an independent appraisal which has been reviewed by the District. The District' s total cost would be $366 ,000 , and the corresponding acreage would be 199 acres based upon the indicated value of the land and upon the overall price. The 119 and 80 acre portions ac- count for $234 ,000 and $132 ,000 of the price, respectively. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board adopt the follow- ing resolutions : (a) Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Authorizing Acquisition of Property (Roman Catholic Archbishop of San Francisco - Document No. 77-A) (b) Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpen- insula Regional Open Space District Authorizing Acquisition of Pro- perty (Roman Catholic Archbishop of San Francisco - Document No. 77-B) It is further recommended that the Board approve the interim use and management recommendations contained in this report. Finally, it is recommended that the dates in sections 1 and 3 of the agreement with Santa Clara County approved by the District's Board of Directors on April 27, 1977 , be changed from June 30 , 1977 to August 31, 1977 so that the Board of Supervisors can complete its actions on the joint project.

Grantor reserves, as long as Grantor continues to own its remaining land (including land held in the name of The Roman Catholic Seminary of San Francisco, a California corporation) or any part thereof, all its water rights and claims to St. Joseph's Spring (located near the center of the SW-1/4 of the NE-1/4 of Section 17, Township 7 South, Range 2 West, M.D.B.&M. ) including without limitation any and all existing and future claims against others for damage to such spring, together with an easement appurtenant to and for the benefit of Grantor's remaining land (including land held in the name of The Roman Catholic Seminary of San Francisco, a California corporation) to inspect and maintain such spring, and to take, receive and use water therefrom, and incidental rights to install, inspect, maintain, repair and replace existing or necessary waterlines and related appurtenances (including without limitation waterlines from such spring to St. Joseph' s Reservoir) , and reasonable access rights for all the foregoing purposes. 10.

F 'r right to grand_ such easement to The Permanente Corporation, its successors and assigns, and/or dedicate the same for public or quasi-public utility purposes. 11. It is understood and agreed that the three following transactions, to which reference is made below, shall be handled through the single escrow provided for herein- below; and that all of such transactions shall close concurrently; and that in each the agreements to sell and purchase respectively are conditioned upon such a con- current closing: a. Agreement for Purchase of Real Property between The Roman Catholic Archbishop of San Francisco, as seller, and the County of Santa Clara, as purchaser, relating to the real property described in Documents Nos. 4889-1 and 4889-1B; b. Agreement for Purchase of Real Property between The Roman Catholic Archbishop of San Francisco, as seller, and the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, as purchaser, relating to the real property described in Document No. 77-A; and C. Agreement for Pvechase of Real Property between The r Roman Catholic Archbishop of San Francisco, as seller, and the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, as purchaser, relating to the real property described in Document No. 77-B. Attached hereto as Exhibit "A", and made a part hereof, is a drawing (numbered D-1310) prepared by Coleman, Selmi & Wright, Consulting Engineers and Surveyors, showing (area shaded) the property being acquired by the County of Santa Clara and the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, under the three transactions referred to herein- above, from The Roman Catholic Archbishop of San Francisco (Grantor) . 12. It is understood and agreed that this Agreement for Purchase of Real Property shall be executed and acknowledged (at least in duplicate) in recordable form so that either party may record the same. 13 . Each party agrees to proceed with diligence to the end that all such three transactions under said escrow shall be closed concurrently as expeditiously as practicable. In the event, however, that all such transactions are not closed concurrently through said escrow on or before December 31, 1977, Grantor, if not then in default and unless the 4. parties have extended the time for closing by mutual consent in writing, shall have the right to terminate the same without obligation to the purchasers; and in such event, the purchasers agree, at Grantor's request, to execute, acknow- ledge and deliver to Grantor a quitclaim deed or other docu- ment required to remove the cloud of said purchase agreements from the subject property. 14. All covenants, agreements, conditions, reservations and other obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive the closing of said escrow and delivery of any deed given pur- suant thereto. 15. It is understood and agreed that no realtor' s commission shall be payable to anyone as a result of this transaction. 16. It also is understood that neither a parcel map nor a sub- division map is required for this transaction; and District agrees to confirm this understanding by delivery of a letter to that effect to Grantor concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement. 17. Grantor reserves the right to complete its existing contrac- tual commitment for the removal and disposition of spoils in the vicinity of Permanente Creek, together with a right of entry, if required, for such purpose. 19. Grantor reserves the right, which shall be appurtenant to and for the benefit of its remaining land, to discharge surface and storm waters from such land, even though improvements thereon cause accelerated flow, through any now existing point of concentration onto the real property conveyed hereunder; subject, however, to any then applicable governmental statutes, ordinances or regulations pertaining to the same. 19. Grantor reserves an easement, from the conveyance made in said grant deed, appurtenant to and for the benefit of Grantor' s remaining land (including land held in the' name of the Roman Catholic Seminary of San Francisco, a California corporation) , so long as such land, or any part thereof, is owned by Grantor (or The Roman Catholic Seminary of San Francisco) , to continue to use the existing access road to the 1,600, 000 gallon water storage facility, known as St. Joseph' s Reservoir, which Grantor presently owns and maintains. Access for purposes of maintaining or using said reservoir shall be unrestricted except District may designate appropriate alternate reasonable routes of access to such facility and related waterlines and appurtenances , if necessary. If the facility is abandoned, such easement shall terminate. 5 .

Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Adoption of Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 1977-1978 Introduction: During the past fiscal year, the District has increased its land holdings by 1,140 acres for a total of 3, 860 acres. Other land acquisition, such as the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve addition, is in process. Comprehensive use and management plans have been adopted for nearly all of the District' s sites and are being carried out through site preparation, patrol and maintenance activities. The District has expanded its land negotiations , public communi- cations and governmental liaison activities as a result of the annexation of a portion of south San Mateo County last year. Based on the projects described in the Action Plan, which was tentatively approved by the Board of Directors at its May 11 and June 8 , 1977 meetings , a proposed budget for the 1977- 1978 fiscal year has been prepared by staff and reviewed by the Budget Subcommittee. A form of zero-base program budgeting was used which is based upon the items in the Action Plan. The accounting system the District employs reports expenditures by program for regular comparison with budget. Although the budget proposed herein is presented in line-item form, pro- jected costs by program in the form of extensive budget work-- sheets were presented to the Subcommittee. The memorandumt from the Budget Subcommittee (M-77-120 , dated July 5 , 1977) covers policy matters. The annual budget, therefore, repre- sents the total projected costs of the programs of the District, which are meant to implement the District' s Basic Policy. Significant changes and costs in each program are discussed later in this report. Although the budget to be adopted is the annual budget, the quarterly budget is also attached for ref- erence. Since the budget only represents the District' s revenues, reserves and expenditures , it is incomplete in de- scribing the full financial situation of the District. There- fore, the report of the Controller (R-77-34 , dated July 7 , 1977) should be considered with this report. Cash flow and borrow- ing power factors are discussed in the Controller' s report. R-77-33 Page two Revenues: Based on preliminary estimates of assessed valuation and on a continuation of the 10� tax rate, projected total tax revenues for the District would be approximately $3,541,400. In addition, State and federal grants totalling $221,500 are expected to be received within the coming fiscal year. Grant revenues from the 1976 State bond measure and from the second year of Roberti-Zlberg funding are not included since receipt of them cannot be counted on before July, 1978. Although income from rents and agricultural leases is not expected to be significant during the coming fiscal year, interest earned on invested funds should amount to about $180,000. The Board has recently taken action which will enable the District to borrow up to $10 million for land purchases, It is anticipated that $6. 6 million will be borrowed in this coming fiscal year, $4. 6 million of which will be used for payment of previous land commitments, and $2 million of which will be available for new land purchases. Although the availability of additional funds will place the District in a favorable position for the next one to three years, depending on the rate and cost of new acquisitions, and will allow the acquisition of threatened open space, repayment of borrowed funds will affect the flex- ibility of the District' s acquisition program in the future. Reserves: Available cash for land has been allocated so that approximately $2 million will be available for the 1977-1978 fiscal year, and the current land reserve fund will drop by $227 ,000 to about $1 million for land expenditures in the first half of fiscal year 1978-1979 , before new revenues are received. Reserves for operating expenses will be increased by about $30,000 to allow $250,000 for the first half of the 1978-1979 fiscal year. Reserves also include $799 ,300 in note sale proceeds for payments on installment contracts, and $582 ,100 for note retirement payments coming due in the 1978- 1979 fiscal year before tax revenues are received. As a matter of policy, it is proposed that the opportunities and Emergencies Reserves be increased by $300,000 to $1,000 ,000, particularly to give added fiscal security to the District, whose overall size, land holdings, land use and general activities have increased markedly. Expenditures: Since the Budget Subcommittee has reviewed the proposed budget in detail, only particular highlights in the Expenditures category will be discussed below. If there are specific questions raised during budget discussion at the Board meeting, however, I would be pleased to answer them. Debt Service: A new expenditure category called Debt Service has been added to this year' s budget. It reflects a total of about $1. 4 million in principal and interest payments on the proposed issuance of promissory notes and on installment pur- chase contracts. R-77-33 Page three Salaries and Benefits: There was considerable discussion with the Budget Subcommittee regarding salary increase funds. It is my recommendation that the Board approve funding for salary increases based upon the 6. 2% cost of living increase from March, 1976, to March, 1977 and allow an additional average 5% for merit increases. Since as an administrative matter, employee review dates are being changed from their anniversary dates of hire to the beginning of the first pay period in the second quarter (about October 1) for all employees, each indi- vidual raise this year would be prorated from the date of last review to October 1, and the actual increases would average about 5%. Most other public agencies in this area, in fact, are increasing salary ranges by about 5 to 6% this year and typically give in addition a 5% annual step increase within the range until the top of the range is reached (usually 5 years) . I feel it is important for the District to be able to maintain a capable and professional staff, and this can be aided with an equitable budget for increases. The amount presented in the proposed budget, however, reflects the Budget Subcommittee' s recommendation based on an 8. 6% overall increase, plus amounts needed to keep within the newly recommended salary ranges and a $2 ,000 contingency for promotions or job changes during the year. For the reasons given above the actual average increase would be about 4% effective October 1. A contingency has been included in Fringe Benefits if reexam- ination of District Personnel Policies indicates that regular, part-time employees should receive some benefits in addition to prorated vacation and holidays. This contingency was also included in last year' s budget; however, since the District' s ability to implement such changes is dependent upon the flex- ibility of Santa Clara County' s new payroll system, the oppor- tunity to investigate this possibility has been delayed. A contingency of $21,000 has also been included in the event the District must begin making contributions for unemployment compensation as the result of recent legislation. Since the implementation of this legislation is still being developed, it is unclear at this time how much the District will be required to contribute. There is a total of about $29,000 in contingency funds for Salaries and Benefits which reflect positions listed in the Action Plan as "possible" or "probable. " These positions are subject to further study and staff report as to their advis- ability, and would have to be approved by the Board before ex- penditures are made. Services and Supplies: Of the total budget of $231,280 for Services and Supplies, about $21,500 can be placed in the R-77-33 Page four contingency category. Fixed Assets : The Previous Land Commitments budget of $2. 7 million will be used for payments on lands previously purchased by the District. The budget for New Land Commitments of $2 million cash will be supplemented by $2 million in bor- rowed funds. Additionally, the opportunities and Emergency cash and borrowing power could be used if circumstances arose. Site Acquisition Expense refers to the cost of outside services related to acquisition such as appraisals, legal fees, title fees and relocation benefits. A ccn,f:ingency of $10,000 has been included in the event an addi- tional or replacement vehicle is needed. The Structures and Improvements budget of $69 ,000 is tentatively allocated as follows: 1. Fremont Older Open Space Preserve $19 ,400 2. Permanente Creek Park $20,800 3. Picchetti Ranch $15,250 4. Saratoga Gap Open Space Preserve $ 1,500 5. North Foothills Open Space Preserve $ 500 6. Black Mountain Open Space Preserve $ 500 7. El Sereno Open Space Preserve $ 2 ,000 8. Los Trancos Open Space Preserve $ 250 9. Eldridge/Burns Properties $ 91000 A contingency of $50,000 has been included under Field Equip- ment in the event a modification or replacement of the pre- sent radio communications equipment is necessary due to acqui- sition of land in the annexed area. Expenditures by Program: 1. Land Acquisition. The proposed budget is based upon a 6. 7 million land acquisition program. Of this amount $2.7 million would be used for projects already in process, and $4 million would be used for new projects. Of this latter amount, $2 million would be derived from cash re- serves and revenues and $2 million would be made available from a second issue of promissory notes. Any new direct installment purchases would be additional. R-77-33 Page five The irony is that according to available data, hillside land costs seem to be rising faster than the rate of increase of assessed valuation for the District as a whole. Therefore, holding the 10� tax rate and spending $4 million for new commitments will not go as far as would be hoped in secur- ing open space. This stepped-up level for the District's acquisition pro- gram will undoubtedly require additional staff and/or con- sultant resources over the next one or two years. Although the final decisions on the best way to implement the pro- gram will await the recommendations of the new Land Acqui- sition Manager, which position is currently being filled, a real estate aide position is included as a contigency item in the budget, and funds are allocated for consultant (or temporary) help in land negotiations. Total contingency funds in this program amount to $43,000, including legal fee contingencies of $25,000. The respective roles of the District' s gifts program and that of the newly formed Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) should become clear this year. About half of the Land Endow- ment Specialist' s time will be involved in getting POST underway. The Acquisition Services budget also includes about $12 ,000 for acquisition services supplied to the Dis- trict by POST. It is expected that $25,000 of additional funds will be raised by POST for its first year operations. 2. Land Management. Approximately $26 ,000 has been allocated for contingent positions in this program. The necessity for these positions will generally depend upon the number, size, location and use of open space acquisitions by the District during the coming fiscal year. Site related ex- penses have been divided into the following categories; (a) Site Preparation, which refers to one-time-only projects such as demolition or removal of refuse; (b) Site Operation and Maintenance, which includes ongoing patrol and mainten- nance activities; and (c) Fixed Assets - Structures and Improvements, which includes tangible items such remodeling, trail construction, signs, parking, etc. A-,small portion of the expenditures in the above categories can be considered expenses relating to "enterprise activities" , or expenses which relate to an income-producing activity for the District such as grazing or house rental. The budget does not reflect loss of potential income due to use of structures for land management purposes. In almost all cases, however, the site plans currently preclude simply rental use or the houses are not in fullv rentable condition. When a rentable house is occupied by a caretaker, for example, and the rent is lower than market value, the lost revenue can R-77-33 Page six be viewed as a land management expense. At Permanente Creek Park the naturalist' s residence could be rented on the open market but is supplied free in connection with the day camp program use of the cities involved. The total contingencies in this program amount to about $103,000. of this, $50,000 is for a possible new communi- cations system in connection with two-county operations, and $10 ,000 is for contingent site-related expenses for open space areas which might be acquired in the annexed area. The balance lies mainly in the contingent positions described above and in a $10,000 for a possible vehicle 3. Public Communications. Expenditures for public communi- cations and governmental liaison activities have been combined for the forthcoming fiscal year in keeping with the draft Action Plan. There are no major changes in this program, but a portion of Drafting Technician and secre- tarial time has been allocated under Salaries and Benefits. A sum of $1,000 has been budgeted under Library and Sub- scriptions for an audio-visual presentation. 4. General Management and Program Support. Whenever possible, expenses related to particular programs have been placed in those budgets. A contingency has been included for additional office space rent, in the event more space is made available or the District changes its office location. Alternative sites are presently being investigated. Other changes in the General Management category are minor in nature. It should be emphasized that much of the budget under this category could in principle be allocated to the other programs, but it is simply convenient to put shared expenses under this category. Contingency funds of $13,000 are included here. Analysis: The diagram below indicates how the average dollar of total revenue ($10,553 ,400) is allocated among programs. The Land Acquisition Program, including land acquisition reserves, accounts for almost 95% of total revenue. By comparison, General Management and Program Support account for less than 2%. The Board budget policy guideline regarding the Land Management budget implies that about 11. 7% of tax revenue should be allo- cated to this progran, in the 1977-1978 fiscal year. Since only one site has been acquired in the San Mateo County portion of the District so far, it is assumed that the guideline should still be largely based upon Santa Clara County tax revenue. If it is assumed that one-half of the contingency funds for sites in Santa Clara County will be spent, then analysis indi- cates that 11. 5% of that tax revenue portion will be spent for r R-77-33 Page seven i this program. The $60, 000 in contingency funds attributable to new Sn San Mateo County sites yet to be acquired is about 6% of the San Mateo County tax revenue. Overall, program costs would be about 10. 6% of total tax revenue. The State reimbursem ents for Home o e Owners and a Business Invento ry Tax Relief and the prior years redemptions have been included in tax revenue. 4 Land Acquisition (80.1 ) Land Management (3. 60 Public Communications (0. 3G) r General Management & (14. 1�) Reserves\ Program Support (1. 90 .` Reserves : FY 78-79 Operating Funds (0. 3,�) Opportunities & Emergencies (2. 80 Land Acquisition (11.0 } Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpen- insula Regional Open Space District Adopting Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 1977-1978, with the change that an average salary increase guideline of 11. 2% rather than 8. 6% be approved (actual increases about half that figure) . This change would increase Salaries and Benefits by about $2,500. When final projected tax revenue figures are received from the counties, a "final" budget adjusted in the Revenues and FY 1978- 1979 Land Acquisition Reserves categories will be presented for consideration. The changes are not expected to be great. HG:jg MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE I DISTRICT July 8, 1977 Preliminary Budget -for Fiscal Year_ 1977-78 Quarter 1 2 3 4 Annual I. REVENUES A.

Melton, Controller SUBJECT: Analysis of the Proposed Fiscal Year 1977-78 Budget. The attached Pro-Forma Funds Statement (Table 1) displays in tabular format the impact of the proposed FY 1977-78 budget on the District's cash and debt capacity balances. The District begins the new fiscal year with an estimated cash balance of $2 ,234 ,000 plus $11,978 ,000 of unused debt capacity. Early in the new fiscal year the District plans to issue negotiable promissory notes totalling $4 ,600 ,000 in order to finance planned land acquisitions and to provide funds for the early retirement of certain outstanding notes issued as part of installment purchase contracts. An additional $2 ,000 ,000 note issue is projected during the latter part of the year to finance additional land purchases. Revenue for the year, excluding proceeds from note sales , is projected at $3,953 ,000. This substantial increase over last year is primarily due to revenue that will be received from the San Mateo County portion of the District for the first time this year. Budgeted cash expenditures total $9 ,069 ,000 , of which $6 ,735 ,000 is targeted for land purchases. An additional $1,438,000 is budgeted for payment of principal and interest on outstanding notes. In addition to the note sales mentioned above, it is projected that notes totaling $2 ,600r000 will be issued as part of installment purchase contracts for land. This combined with the cash budgeted for land purchases provides $9 , 335 ,000 for land acquisition, almost four times the amount budgeted for land last year. This is consistent with the Board' s policy of an accelerated acquisition program and is made possible by the District making maximum use of its borrowing power through the sale of negotiable promissory notes. If the program reflected by this budget is carried out, the District will end the fiscal year with cash funds of $3 ,718 ,000 of which $1,381,000 will be reserved for debt service and other specified purposes. An additional $1,000,000 will be reserved for opportunities and emergencies. The District will end the year with just over $10, 000,000 in outstanding debt and $4,000,000 of debt capacity unused. Any decision to incur debt beyond the $10,000,000 level should be closely analyzed for impact on the remainder of the District' s program. There does not appear to be any cash flow problem this year, barring a major unexpected land purchase opportunity during the first half of the fiscal year.

Hanko, E. Shelley and H. Turner) SUBJECT: 1977-78 Budget Dear Colleagues: The subcommittee met in four different sessions (June 1, 8, 13 and July 5) . We discussed the Action Plan and its relationship to proposed new or contingency staff positions; data on average salary increases and updating of salary ranges and the 10 cent tax rate presently imposed by the District (See attached report from Harry Turner) . Salaries for individual employees are set by the General Manager; however the Board of Directors maintains control of the overall average salary increases for the district employees through the budget process. Several parameters must be considered in establishing these average increases. It is appropriate and it has traditionally been the policy of this Board to key the increases to the average salary increases within the private sector (i.e. the taxpayers) of the district. Additionally we must consider salary increases for comparable positions in other public agencies and the Consumer Price Index for the Bay Area. We must also take into account the fact that MROSD is a relatively young agency with most employees developing rapidly in their proficiencies. Recommendations It is recommended that the board approve an overall average increase in the payroll of somewhat less than 4 percent to be used to increase salaries in October. The annual rate of salary increases will be 8. 6 percent, which is intended to include an average merit increase of 2 . 4 percent above inflation. This is 0. 6 percent point more merit increase than the private sector and is being recommended because of the general youth of the agency. It is further recommended that the Board adopt the the salary ranges as recommended in the Manager's report of June 30, that $9500 be used to bring all employees to the bottom of the salary ranges and $2000 of contingency for use by the General Manager. It is further recommended that the District continue with the present 10 cent per hundred tax rate. N11:rh M-77-121 MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT 745 DISTEL DRIVE, LOS ALTOS,CALIFORNIA 94022 (415)965-4717 July 5, 1977 To: The Budget Committee From: Harry Turner Subject: The expenditure budget for 1977-78 Introduction This analysis is undertaken from the perspective that property tax revenues should not take advantage of increased assessed valuation to provide, as some have said, Iva bonanza of revenue." Rather, District revenues should be adjusted as closely as possible to maintain our "service levels". Since over 80 percent of District expenditures are to acquire land for public benefit, the problem becomes one of comparing the rate of inflation in the lands the District seeks to acquire with inflation in the District's total assessed valuation. Price inflation in potential open space land acquisitions Because of the time lag in assessing undeveloped property outside the urban areas, sufficiently precise and complete information about inflationary rates are not available. There are, however, many indicators that the prime open space lands are rapidly increasing in value. This is particularly true with lands with good access, which often are high priority items for the District. The current housing boom, which is supported by a large accumulation of pent-up demand, available mortgage money, and a rapidly expanding general economy, is causing foothill prices to rise rapidly. Large parcel acquisitions which were made for $1,000 or less per acre just three years ago are now in the realm of $3,000 per acre. Consideration of these facts alone would indicate an inflationary rate of 30-40 percent per year. As the urban areas extend into the open spaces, it is probable that the undeveloped lands begin a process of accelerated inflation that closes the price gap with the developed areas. This process could easily produce 30-40 percent inflation for a few years until parity is nearly achieved. The District is finding that in some instances that it is not feasible for it to purchase a large parcel of desirable open space without forming a partnership with another public agency. One example is the proposed 50-50 partnership with the City of San Carlos to acquire the Hassler Health home Herbert A.Grench,General Manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Barbara Green,Nonette G.Hanko,George F.Seager,Edward G.Shelley,Harry A.Turner,Daniel G.Wenclin property for a total price of about $7,000 per acre, The District's share, $3,500 per acre, is the highest it has ever committed to a large parcel acqui- sition. There are some instances when smaller, but essential acquisitions, are extremely expensive. Recently, a 64-acre parcel was acquired to protect the public interest in the Fremont Older Preserve for $8,000 per acre. All factors considered together indicate an inflationary rate of at least 20 percent Rer year and possibly as high as 30-40 percent. Comprehensive surveys by the District staff of potential acquisitions in the recently annexed area on the Bay side of southern San Mateo County indicate that land is generally more expensive than the acquisitions that have been made so far. The list of only top-priority possibilities in the area is long and includes magnificent open space parcels that are quite developable, especially since money is now available to support development of many of these parcels. After acquisitions have been made in southern San Mateo County, the District will have better information about price and rate of price increase, In the meantime a prudent and responsible approach requires that the District not risk underfunding its' ability to deliver what was advertised during the recent annexation election. The District should be careful to keep faith with the expectations of the citizen-led campaign to attach the additional area to the District. This would mean at least one more year of experience to acquire the necessary information. The expenditure budget The remainder of the budget, after land acquisition, consists of less than one-fifth of the total budget. In this area cost rise of existing activities should be held to, or ;below, the rate of income increases experienced by the taxpayers in the District. Salary increases above this rate should only reflect promotions or especially meritous performance. Elsewhere, the budget will increase in response to increasing public use on the increasing amount of open space land acquired. Public recreational use of land that essentially is in its natural state is low cost, however. The increase in size of the land management budget with respect to the overall budget cannot exceed 0.8 percent per year and during the coming year its proportion will be about 11 per cent, with appropriate adjustments to reflect that essentially all of the revenues from the new part of the District will go for open space land acquisition. We expect to spend 18 percent of the budget for land management during 1986-87. Property tax revenues Despite the apparent very rapid rate of price increase in the District's principal activity, open space land acquisition, tax revenues have grown at a more moderate pace. Last year's increase was 10 percent and the increase during the prior year was 15 percent. Indeed, the District might have already experienced erosion in the purchasing power of it's land acquisition budget. The change in assessed valuation next year is now known to us. The increases in the San Mateo and Santa Clara portions of the District are 23.9 percent and 14 percent, respectively, and the District's assessed valuation increase is 16.8 percent. Summary An unchanged tax rate of 104 per $100 of assessed valuation should produce revenue sufficient to approximately maintain the District's "service level". Given the substantial uncertainties, we judge the risk of losing purchasing power is somewhat greater than the likelihood of increasing it. The revenue increase will be less than our lowest estimate of the inflationary rate in the lands we seek to acquire. The planning figure for total revenue is $3.3 million.

HG: jg R-77-28 Alamo emm MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT REPORT May 10, 1977 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Action Plan for Implementation of the Basic Policy of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District for the 1977-1978 Fiscal Year Introduction: Since March, 1974 the District has been oper- ating on the basis of an annual action program which imple- ments the Basic Policy and other policies of the District. The Action Plan has been very useful in structuring activ- ities and priorities, in allocating budgets, in evaluating progress, and in summarizing for people the activities of the District. Discussions held at the February 2, 1977 Goals Workshop were helpful to staff in preparing for Board consideration the attached update of the Action Plan for Implementation of the Basic Policy of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District for the 1977-1978 Fiscal Year. Discussion: The proposed Action Plan is intended to outline the District' s major programs for the coming fiscal year, and to function as a general basis for planning over the next five-year period. During recent months , staff has been exploring various alternative forms to the 1976-1977 Action Plan which might better reflect the priorities of the programs of the District. There are a few structural changes in the Action Plan recommended for this year; the recent workload has precluded sufficient exploration of further possible changes until next year. The proposed Action Plan for the 1977-1978 fiscal year is divided into the following categories: 1. Land Acquisition Program A. Negotiations Subprogram B. Donations Subprogram C. Land Analysis Subprogram D. Special Projects Subprogram R-77-28 Page two 2. Open Space Management Program A. General Land Administration Subprogram B. Planning, Design and Construction Subprogram C. Operation, Docent and Maintenance Subprogram 3 . Public Communications Program A. Media Subprogram B. Public Liaison Subprogram C. Public Education and Participation Subprogram 4. General Management and Program Support As the outline shows, the former Public Communications and Governmental and Private Liaison Programs have been combined into one program, since the activities in each are so closely interrelated. Furthermore, this structure more closely rep- resents the relative priority and balance among programs as set by Board policy. Additionally, general management and program support activities would no longer be considered a separate program, but rather as a part of and support for the three major programs. The level of activity in the Public Communications Program will undoubtedly depend upon whether or not a grant is re- ceived from the National Endowment for the Arts for the sup- port of Public Education and Awareness. The 1976-1977 Volunteer, Docent and Intern Subprogram has been incorporated into the other subprograms of the Open Space Management Program. Docent activities, which require close coordination with ranger staff, will be combined into the Operation, Docent and Maintenance Subprogram. While the Action Plan appears generally similar to last year's Action Plan, it reflects a distinct change in District orien- tation, particularly moving from a general planning period to functioning as an operating agency as District lands are open and as public awareness and use of the lands increases. As discussed at the April 27 Board meeting, the District's financial position with respect to land acquisition has changed considerably due to the recent commitment of avail- able funds to major acquisitions. As indicated in the pro- posed Action Plan, it will be important for the Board and staff over the next several months to establish the rate of land acquisition in terms of available financing and to set land acquisition goals. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board review the proposed Action Plan, modify it as appropriate, and tentatively adopt the updated Action Plan, which will then be used as the basis for formulation of the budget for the 1977-1978 fis- cal year. Final adoption of the Action Plan would occur at the time the budget is adopted.

Additionally, general management and program support activities would no longer be considered a separate program, but rather as a part of and support for the three major programs. The level of activity in the Public Communications Program will undoubtedly depend upon whether or not a grant is re- ceived from the National Endowment for the Arts for the sup- port of Public Education and Awareness. The 1976-1977 Volunteer, Docent and Intern Subprogram has been incorporated into, the other subprograms of the Open Space Management Program. Docent activities, which require close coordination with ranger staff, will be combined into the Operation, Docent and Maintenance Subprogram. While the Action Plan appears generally similar to last year's Action Plan, it reflects a distinct change in District orien- tation, particularly movingfrom a general planning period to functioning as an operating agency as District lands are open and as public awareness and use of the lands increases. As discussed at the April 27 Board meeting, the District's financial position with respect to land acquisition has changed considerably due to the recent commitment of avail- able funds to major acquisitions. As indicated in the pro- posed Action Plan, it will be important for the Board and staff over the next several months to establish the rate of land acquisition in terms of available financing and to set land acquisition goals . Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board review the proposed Action Plan, modify it as appropriate, and tentatively . adopt the updated Action Plan, which will then be used as the basis for formulation of the budget for the 1977-1978 fis- cal year. Final adoption of the Action Plan would occur at the time the budget is adopted. HG:jg R-77-28 a� toe MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT REPORT May 10, 1977 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Action Plan for Implementation of the Basic Policy of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District for the 1977-1978 Fiscal Year Introduction: Since March, 1974 the District has been oper- ating on the basis of an annual action program which imple- ments the Basic Policy and other policies of the District. The Action Plan has been very useful in structuring activ- ities and priorities, in allocating budgets, in evaluating progress, and in summarizing for people the activities of the District. Discussions held at the February 2, 1977 Goals Workshop were helpful to staff in preparing for Board consideration the attached update of the Action Plan for Implementation of the Basic Policy of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District for the 1977-1978 Fiscal Year. Discussion: The proposed Action Plan is intended to outline the District's major programs for the coming fiscal year, and to function as a general basis for planning over the next five-year period. During recent months, staff has been exploring various alternative forms to the 1976-1977 Action Plan which might better reflect the priorities of the programs of the District. There are a few structural changes in the Action Plan recommended for this year; the recent workload has precluded sufficient exploration of further possible changes until next year. The proposed Action Plan for the 1977-1978 fiscal year is divided into the following categories: 1. Land Acquisition Program A. Negotiations Subprogram B. Donations Subprogram C. Land Analysis Subprogram D. Special Projects Subprogram Page four B. Donations Subprogram Summary This subprogram will include informing landowners and other appropriate people of the District's donations program, through personal contact, brochures, speeches, newspaper articles and advertising in order to obtain donations of land or other assets to the District. Emphasis will be given to the tax savings and varied arrangements which can be made to benefit both the donor and the District. Expected Results It is expected that at least one significant land donation will be made to the District as a direct result of efforts in this subprogram, and that the resultant publicity will generate more inquiries about donations. Typical Projects 1. Complete formation and coordinate with private Peninsula Open Space Trust which will raise funds for open space acquisition. 2. Develop relationships and landowners directly and through intermediaries in order to encourage gifts of land. 3. Distribute donations brochure which describes the tax benefits and other advantages of donating land to the District. 4 . Use an introductory letter which will introduce landowners to the District' s program and policies and suggest they consider donation. The letter will be for introductory purposes and will be followed by intense personal contacts. 5. Promote the donations program of the District through speeches given by Board and staff members. 6. Chart progress of donations program and review for effectiveness.

THE DISTRICT WILL PURCHASE OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRE INTEREST IN THE MAXIMUM FEASIBLE AMOUNT OF STRATEGIC OPEN SPACE WITHIN THE' DISTRICT, INCLUDING BAYLANDS AND FOOTHILLS. Implementation: Land Acquisition Program A. Negotiations Subprogram Summary This subprogram will include the continuation and initiation of contacts with landowners, realtors and other appropriate people in order to obtain the maximum number of opportunities to acquire property fo r the District.t i t. Expected Results It is expected that several opportunities will occur for the District to obtain high priority parcels at desirable prices (market value or less) , and to obtain parcels of less than high priority at bargain prices. Typical Projects 1. Maintain and initiate contacts with landowners, real estate appraisers and brokers, developers, architects, engineers, zoning and planning officials, and financial institutions. 2. Publicize, through news articles and speeches, the land acquisition program of the District, thereby increasing chances that people will contact the District regarding land purchase opportunities. 3. Explore various alternatives to offer advantages to landowner as well as to the District regarding terms of purchase (e.g. , options and tax relief considerations) . 4. Institute eminent domain proceedings, in the extroaordinary case, in the event lengthy , negotiations fail to elicit an agreement on terms of purchase and the parcel involved is key to the District' s program. 5. Evaluate staff resources needed to implement land acquisition program in expanded District, considering present and future acquisition funds and financing, and develop job specifications and hire personnel as required and approved.

Special Projects Subprogram Summary This subprogram will include Projects which are undertaken in order to broaden the Land Acquisition Program and make it more effective. Expected Results Increased contact with staffs of other agencies and with non-profit acquisition institutions should heighten their awareness of the District's acquisition program. Acquisition-related activities will be accomplished on an efficient, systematic basis, and the District may be the recipient of at least one grant as the result of timely application to the appropriate sources. Typical Projects 1. Develop multi-year spending plan for land acquisition- which optimizes use of cash and borrowed funds to accomplish acquisition goals. 2. Make timely application for grants available to the District and review information newsletters periodically which contain such data. 3. Utilize consultants to investigate and/or negotiate in special situations. 4. Utilize consultants for relocation activities. 5. Initiate and maintain contacts with non-profit charitable institutions (Trust for Public Lands, Sempervirens Fund, etc. ) to coordinate action being taken on lands of open space significance. 6.

This subprogram includes the site-specific real estate analysis process which is needed to implement the Master Plan of the District. Expected Results Existing and new information will be compiled which will aid in negotiations for parcels. A comprehensive map system will be established to provide the District with an efficient, readily available source of information about land within the District' s boundaries. It is expected that opportunities for bargain purchases will be identified as a result of this subprogram. Typical Projects 1. In conjunction with Open Space Management Program, develop acquisition recommendations. 2. Gather information on real estate market activities. 3. Gather information on local, State and federal regulations (e.g. , zoning and subdivision) and on restrictions or plans contained in general plan elements and other planning studies. 4. Gather information on special considerations such as deed restrictions, utility availability, and financing and tax considerations. 5. Continue work on gathering and maintaining a comprehensive and efficient map system which contains the data necessary for effective negotiations. 6. Continue to gain knowledge of land use laws and status of current legal issues.

Our fees will be as follows: 1. Our fee will be $500 for examining a trans- cript of the proceedings for the formation of the district and a transcript of the proceedings for one annexation of territory to the district and reporting to the Board of Directors of the district on the validity of these proceedings. 2. For preparing proceedings for the authorization and private sale of approximately $10,000, 000 principal amount of ten-year notes in four or more series and for rendering our approving opinion on each series of notes issued our fee will -be computed at the rate of $1 per $1, 000 principal amount of notes on the first issue of notes (which we understand will be in the amount of $4,000, 000 to $5, 000, 000) and at the rate of $0 . 75 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes of each subsequent series, subject to a minimum fee of $500 for each subsequent series of less than $500, 000.

Agenda item No. 5) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT MEMORANDUM July 11, 1977 TO: Board of Directors FROM: J. Melton, Controller SUBJECT: Appointment of Auditor for 1976-1977 Fiscal Year Background: Every year since inception the annual audit of the District's financial records has been performed by Elmer Fox, Westheimer & Co. These services have always been rendered in a professional and timely manner. In addition, the staff of Elmer Fox, Westheimer, particularly Mr. Niall Quinn, has on a continuing basis provided valuable advice to the District in the operation of its accounting system. The continuity of all of the District's audits having been performed by the same firm was especially valuable during the preparation of the official statement relating to the issue of the District' s negotiable promissory notes. During this period when additional note issues will probably be undertaken, I feel it will be in the District' s best interest to maintain this audit continuity. For this reason, I chose not to request proposals from other auditing firms this year providing Elmer Fox, Westheimer' s fee remained competitive. The $1,700 fee quoted this year is $200 greater than last year' s fee and still below the fee bid by a competitor two years ago. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board appoint er Fox, Westheimer & Co. as its auditors for fiscal year 1976-1977, and that the President accept the submitted pro- posal (copy attached) on behalf of the District.

Drive Los Altos, California 94022 We are pleased to submit this proposal covering the examination of the financial statements of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District for the year ended June 30, 1977. The scope of our services will be similar to our examinations for the previous years, including preparation of twenty copies of the financial statements, preparation of a condensed financial statement for publication, and of the annual report to the State Controller. Our examination will be made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and will include tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we consider necessary to enable us to render an opinion on the fairness of your financial statements. It is not contemplated that we will make a detailed examination of transactions nor that we will necessarily discover embezzlements, defalcations, or other fraudulent acts should any exist. We will, however, inform you promptly of any findings which appear unusual or abnormal. Our fee for these services will be based on our normal per diem rates plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Based on the premise that your personnel will assist in preparation of schedules as discussed and give us timely assistance in locating invoices, statements, and other supporting documents which we will require, we estimate that our charges for these services will be approximately $1,700. We will not exceed that fee unless unforeseen circumstances should arise which would require us to expand the scope of our work. If such circumstances should arise, we will immediately contact your administration to arrange a mutually agreed adjust- ment. We can start the field work at any time, given a week's notice. Any services required in connection with the District's negotiable promissory note offering g will be billed in addition at our regular per diem rates. If these arrangements meet with your approval, please sign the duplicate copy of this letter in the space provided and return it to us. dE _ The Board of Directors Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District June 28, 1977 Page 2 ' I Thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal. We hope we may again service the District this year. Very truly yours, Of Elmer Fox, Westheimer & Co. NHQuinn:mm Enclosure Accepted this 13 day of July 1977. MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT By Daniel G. Wendin, President R-77-32 AA. (Meeting 77-18 , VL Agenda item No. 6) lwtlof 36M 0 4am MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT REPORT July 6 , 1977 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Recommended Salary Range Adjustments Introduction: The District's Personnel Policies adopted by t E-e Board on , September 10 , 1975 , give the Board of Directors responsibility for approving job descriptions and salary ranges for full-time regular District positions. With the exception of a salary range review which was conducted for the Assistant General Manager (Land Acquisition Manager) , Land Manager and Administrative Aide positions in 1975 , there has been no subsequent comprehensive salary range review for full-time regular positions. Since that time, the Board has also established other full-time positions. Discussion: During the budget preparation process, staff has reviewed the job descriptions and responsibilities of full-time regular District employees and compared these posi- tions with comparable positions in other Bay Area public agencies. Using the midpoint of the average of the most comparable posi- tions for each District position, a range factor was applied to determine a competitive revised salary range. In those cases where one or more District positions of equivalent respon- sibility had revised salary ranges that were close, the ranges were averaged together and made the same. The percentage in- creases in the salary ranges of different positions differ for a variety of reasons, such as: (a) Management and non-management positions are not always reviewed by other agencies at the same time or given the same percentage increases. (b) Depending upon when individual District positions were established or last reviewed, the percentage of salary range data from other agencies which is up to date will differ. (c) Comparable positions from other agencies are some,- times eliminated so that other comparablesmus-t be found, some of which may have different salary ranges than the comparables previously used. R-77-32 Page two (d) Positions in larger public agencies are peri- odically upgraded, so that a certain type of position may be upgraded during a year that another type of position is not upgraded. (e) As with other public agencies, there is much room for flexibility in job descriptions and the expec- tations of a new position may be determined to some extent by the individual filling the position. When there are several different levels of respon- sibility for a particular type of position in another agency, the performance of the individual can affect the comparable chosen. Conclusion: The recommended revised salary ranges for full- time regular positions represents the most up-to-date data available, including a 5.5% projected increase for those agencies who had not, as of this date, completed negotiations for salary range adjustments. As indicated, no range change for secre- tarial positions is being recommended at this time. A new secretarial job description and corresponding salary range will be presented to the Board prior to October 3 , 1977 . Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board adopt the revised salary ranges for full-time regular District employees as set forth in the attached list, to be effective October 3, 1977. This effective date has been chosen to correspond to a new administrative procedure for salary changes. In the past each individual performance review has been made near the anniversary date of employment. Now all reviews will be made in the month of August and the change forms processed through payroll in September so that all changes will be effective the first day of the first pay period which starts in the second quarter (October 3 this year) .
