I do not live in the hills of San Carlos, but rather in what is known as the "flatlands" of the city and I therefore an not protecting "my view*. Rather, I have come to believe in the last few years, after seeing the problems caused by too much growth too facto that My piece of property in open space should be preserved not only for the future, but for the present as well. I think that the creation of your Opens pace District testifies to the fact that a majority of other citizens agree with me. Please continue to be responsive to the needs of present and future generations, and take whatever steps necessary to preserve the beautiful Hassler lands, despite any obstacles which may be raised due to the buildinFe on the site. They are not -insurmountable. Thank you. Very truly yours, O�kdllk tj Stephanie Smith 24 SMHoward Avenue arlos WRITTEN COMMUNICATION (Meeting 78-21) RCC:Eiv 1978 JACK KA IMMEII 3221 OAITTAM AVI.

The Hassler property represents a transitional area from urban land use to openspace. Left in its natural state, Hassler will direct urban development into existing urban areas . In an area that has critical problems with air quality, noise and congestion, it is even more important to preserve Hassler. Laced with trails, direct access to the watershed from our urban areas will be available. We want to urge you to continue your efforts to acquire the Hassler property for park and openspace land. We feel that the District taking the lead in this direction is crucial considering the short-sightedness on the part of the city of San Carlos to acquire this land.

We are also prepared to pay for it in the sense of Bonds or whatever that is needed to raise the cash. once this prime area has been developed into housing, we will never have another opportunity to create a park there. I could go into the numerous arguments in favour of retaining it as open space, but I am sure that you have heard them all and are competent in weighing' the pros and cons.

Yes, I am very much in favor of the acquisition of the Hassler property. This property should be purchased by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District ITITH NO ALDITIONAL TAX PIONEY FROM THE CITIZIM OF SAN CARLOS. Nothing less was promised to us by representatives of your board during the campaign for the annexation to your District, and I believe those commitments should be honored. The money San "zrlos is putting into the District should adequately cover the cost of the acquisition of Hassler over a period of years. This is our last and only chance for open space. If it is not feasible for your Listrict to purchase this property, I would like to suggest that you recommend our withdrawal from the District to LAF,00. Yours very truly, Rub Seager (Mrs. George F. Seager) WRITTEN COMMUNICATION Meeting 78-21 STATE OF CALIFORNIA EDMUND G. BROWN JR., Governor DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE SACRAMENTO yea SEPTEMBER 20, 1978 TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL. OPEN SPACE DISTRICT The Department of Finance has reviewed all applications for critical unmet needs of special districts. We received requests from 50 counties for their independent and dependent districts, 53 cities for their subsidiary districts, and from 60 multicounty districts. The total requests were for $190 million; however, we have only $37 million to meet those needs. We made several assumptions when assessing the requests for additional funding. We assumed that all requests took into account the limits and conditions imposed by Chapters 292 and 332, Statutes of 1978 (SB 154 and SB 2212). We also assumed that all districts were anticipating a tax rate limit of 1 percent on unsecured properties when assessing their funding needs. The criteria used to make the allocation follows the guidelines set forth in Chapters 292 and 332. Section 16275 of the Government Code provides that the highest priority for allocation of funds shall go to districts which provide public safety services, specifically fire and police protection. These districts are to be maintained at the 1977-78 level of service. For any county that allocated all of its share of the $125 million to fire or police districts and yet still had unmet fire or police needs, we allocated the requested amount to the special fire or police districts in that county. We also allocated the full amount requested for multicounty and city-subsidiary fire or police districts. This initial allocation accounts for $27,167,657 of the $37 million available. The remaining $9,832,343 was allocated on a pro rata basis to all other critical unmet needs of districts that met the following criteria: 1. Provide public safety or health protection. 2. Are highly property-tax dependent. 3. Are unable to levy nonproperty taxes. The districts which we identified as meeting these criteria were those that primarily provide police and fire protection, flood control and levee maintenance, lighting, and mosquito and other pest abatement. The funding requests for districts which primarily provide these services were used to determine the pro rata share for each county's special districts, multicounty districts, and city-subsidiary districts. The total critical unmet need requests of these districts were $70 million. -2- Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Your requests for funds for the critical unmet needs of your district did not meet the criteria for high-priority funding needs set forth in Chapters 292 and 332. Although we realize your district has further funding needs, we have not been able to allocate any money to your district in light of the critical needs of other special districts in the State. Although it is clear that we have not been able to fund all the unmet needs of special districts, your requests and other data you have supplied will allow us to better analyze your funding problems in the future. If you have any further questions, please call (916) 322-2263. ROY M. BELL Director of Finance 6219E R-78-33 (Meeting 78-21 9/27/78 IMF Agenda item No. 1) or or MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT REPORT September 20, 1978 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Hassler Health Home Property Introduction: At your meeting of August 9, 1978 you considered a status report (R-78-28 of August 3) from me regarding the Hassler Health Home Property, and invited the San Carlos City Council to participate in a joint Public Hearing to assess current public attitudes regarding preservation of the site as open space. The Council considered the matter and declined the invitation. At your September 13 meeting you considered the matter further and decided tc hold a Public Hearing on your own at San Carlos High School on September 27 , at 7 :30 P.M. Discussion: The property tax and State surplus allocations fol- lowing the passage of Proposition 13 have left the District with only half of last year ' s tax revenue, and the prospects for future years are very uncertain. One effect of this is that the District has to assess priorities for expenditure of limited funds more carefully than ever. The current year's budget includes about $5 million for committed land purchases for the following projects : Project Location Comments Monte Bello Open Space Preserve Page Mill Road Area San Mateo County Escrow closed 8/23/78 Black Mountain Area Santa Clara & San In Escrow Mateo Counties Hassler Property Adjacent to San Carlos- $540,000 grant approved. Edgewood Rd. & I280 District ccmi.tment made on basis of San Carlos participation Edgewood Park Redwood.

The Town of Los Gatos would contribute half the local share. This matter will be before you soon with my positive recommendation. Another potential project which may come before you soon involves at least 400 acres of land in the Los Altos Hills area (Neary/Semas property) . In order to make acquisition feasible, private fund- raising in the local area will probably be necessary, and the prospects look promising. Although it is not anticipated that you will make a decision on September 27 regarding whether to proceed with the Hassler project, questions you will be considering and which the public might address include the following: (1) Assuming that the District/County park and open space project goes forward on the State college site, how important is it that the Hassler property also be preserved and why? (2) Since the City Council has decided that the City cannot participate in the foreseeable future, is there enough public support for acquisition that substantial funds can be raised through local donations and for creation of an assessment district? Conclusion: It must be emphasized that the District has made no decision to acquire the Hassler property. San Francisco, owner of the property, has been before the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors on several occasions and has opposed any rezoning to less intensive use. Inquiries regarding purchase or development continue to come to San Francisco, San Carlos and San Mateo County. It is not clear whether the intense public concern which developed when the State was considering the site for a correctional facility would re-emerge when the next use proposals become fully public. Undoubtedly, it would depend upon the importance area residents really place upon preservation of the open space and upon the acceptability of particular uses that might be proposed. Recommendation: No action is being recommended at this time. As a result of the Public Hearing the Board may wish further infor- mation from staff and may schedule the item for a future agenda. M-78-194 (Meeting 73-21 9/27/78 Agenda item No. 2) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT I, MEMORANDUM September 22, 1978 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager PREPARED BY: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager SUBJECT: Acceptance of Covenant and Reservation in Grant Deed- - Stanford Property On June 14, 1978 the Board authorized the extension of escrow closure on the subject property, as it was to the mutual benefit of both par- ties to include explicit language in the Grant Deed regarding future use of the property. That action set the final date for close of escrow at September 29 , 1978. During the interim, we have worked with the Stanford staff to prepare acceptable wording in the form of the attached "Covenant and Reserva- tion" . This document details the elements of the original donor ' s wishes that the land be kept in a natural condition and be available to Stanford for educational purposes. If ratified, this wording would be appended to the Grant Deed and duly recorded. The Stanford Trustees have already reviewed and approved this document, and are now prepared to conclude this transaction in accordance with our original purchase agreement. Recommendation: It is therefore recommended that the Board approve the attached resolution accepting the "Covenant and Reservation" for inclusion in the Grant Deed and authorize the appropriate officer to sign said document on behalf of the District. CB:pl RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT APPROVING GRANT DEED AND AUTHORIZING OFFICER TO EXECUTE COVENANT AND RESERVATION AND CERTIFICATE OF ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT TO DISTRICT AND REAFFIRMING AUTHORIZATION OF GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO CLOSING OF THE TRANSACTION (MONTE BELLO OPEN SPACE PRESERVE-STANFORD PROPERTY) The Board of Directors of The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District does resolve as follows: Section One. The form of deed wherein The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University, a bogy having corporate powers, as grantor, and The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, a public district, as grantee, including the Covenant and Reservation contained therein,as affixed hereto, and is hereby approved, and the President or other appropriate officer is hereby authorized to execute same on behalf of the District, and execute a Certificate of Acceptance with respect thereto. Section Two. Sections Three and Four of Resolution #78-7 are hereby ratified and confirmed. M-78- 192 (Meeting 78-21 9/27/78 *%1 Agenda item No. 3) a MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT MEMORANDUM September 21, 1978 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager PREPARED BY: A. Crosleyr District Clerk SUBJECT: Amendments to Rules of Procedure and Clarification Attached for Board consideration is a resolution to amend three sections of the District' s Rules of Procedure. Amendments: One amendment would conform Section 2 . 30 of the Rules of Procedure with recent Board action to provide that Board members' compensa- tion for meeting attendance from September 1, 1978 through June 30, 1979 shall be $37 .50 per meeting, with a monthly maximum of $75. 00. The second amendment, in Section 1. 16 would include the District Clerk as one who could officially adjourn a meeting for lack of a quorum. The third amendment would include the President of the Board as an authorized signatory of checks, warrants, withdrawal applications and claim forms in amounts less than $50, 000. The current rules provide that two out of three signatories (Treasurer, General Manager, District Clerk) are needed, but it is often difficult to get the two signatures needed during the summer months when many people are on vacation. The Presi- dent is already an authorized signatory for documents in amounts greater than $50,000. Clarification: The Board normally sets Special Meetings to consider specific agenda items. The Rules of Procedure, however, make no dis- tinction in the final setting of the printed agenda items be- tween Regular and Special Meetings. In practice, only items especially chosen by the Board have been placed on Special Meeting agendas, with rare exceptions. It is the intent of staff to continue this approach to preparing Special Meeting agendasf but it is felt the Rules of Procedure should remain unchanged to give the flexibility, if needed, to add important items to agendas. M-78-192 Page two Of course, for Special Meetings only items on the noticed agenda can be considered. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Amending Rules of Procedure. AC:jb Resolution No. RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT AMENDING RULES OF PROCEDURE The Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District does resolve that the Rules of Procedure adopted on January 10, 1975 by Resolution No. 75-25 (and as subsequently amended) are hereby amended as follows : Section One. Section 1.16 shall be amended to read: 1.16 Quorum. At any meeting of the Board a majority of the Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of busi- ness. When there is no quorum the President, or Vice-President, or the District Clerk, or any other member of the Board of Direc- tors, shall adjourn such meeting. Section Two. Section 2 .30 shall be amended to read: 2.30 Compensation of Directors and Payment of Expenses . Members of the Board shall receive fifty dollars ($50.00) for each atten- dance at Board meetings. From September 1, 1978 through June 30, 1979 members of the Board shall receive $37 .50 for each attendance at Board meetings. They shall not receive any other compensation, and a Director shall not receive pay for any more than two meetings in any one calendar month. Members of the Board may be allowed actual necessary traveling and incidential expenses incurred in the performance of official busi- ness of the District as approved b the Board PP Y Section Three. Section 2,40 shall be amended to read: 2. 40 Financial Instrument Signatories. (a) The authorized signatories to checks, warrants, withdrawal applications and Santa Clara County claim forms of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District in amounts less than $50, 000 shall be those of any two of the following three officers: (i) the President, (ii) the Treasurer, (iii) the General Manager, and (iv) the District Clerk. (b) The authorized signatories to checks, warrants, withdrawal applications and Santa Clara County claim forms of the Midpenin- sula Regional open Space District in amounts of $50, 000 or greater shall be the following officers: (i) the Treasurer or in his/her stead the President, and (ii) the General Manager or in his/her stead the District Clerk. -2- M-78-,195 (Meeting 78-21 All 9/27/78 rAgenda item No. 4) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT MEMORANDUM September 21 , 1978 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager PREPARED BY: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager SUBJECT: Exchange of Easements with PT & T on Monte Bello Open Space Preserve/Picchetti Ranch Area The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company is proposing to under- ground certain utilities that currently exist as overhead lines across a portion of the subject property. The existing lines traverse the Picchetti Ranch Area from Montebello Road to Stevens Canyon Road passing through the orchard area and the seasonal lake. The staff feels that it is highly desirable to eliminate these overhead lines , as this increases the aesthetics and overall integrity of the site. Not only is the Telphone Company paying for the entire installation as one of their routine projects (which in itself is very valuable to the District) , they have graciously agreed to install the under- ground facilities along the general alignment of a trail that the Land Management staff finds ideal for pedestrian access from Stevens Canyon Road. This means that as a result of this utilities installa- tion, we will be provided with a nearly completed hiking trail includ- ing the construction of abutments for the bridge to cross a minor creek on the property. In order for PT & T to commence construction it is necessary for the District to provide the necessary easement rights. After construc- tion, PT & T would quitclaim their interest in the overhead easement as outlined in the attached letter. Recommendation: It is therefore recommended that the Board accept and adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Approving An Easement Deed Granting Rights for Underground Telephone Utilities to Pacif- ic Telephone and Telegraph Company, Authorizing Officer to Execute Said Deed and Authorizing General Manager to Execute Any and All Other Documents Necessary or Appropriate to Closing of the Transac- tion (Portions of Picchetti Ranch Area) . After construction, the quitclaim deed from PT & T will come before the Board for acceptance. CB:pl RESOLUTION NO.

The Board of Directors of The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District does hereby authorize the granting of an easement to Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company for rights to install and maintain underground telephone utilities, and appurtunates theretoon portions of the Picchetti Ranch property as set forth on Exhibit A, as attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. Section Two. The President ofthe Board or other appropriate officer is authorized to execute any deeds) granting easement title to said property. The General Manager is authorized to execute any and all other documents in escrow necessary or appro- priate to the closing of the transaction. Section Three. The Board of Directors finds that the granting of this easement is in accordance with the Basic Policy of the District and is not detrimental to the open space character of the Picchetti Ranch site.

Where it does not follow the pole line the route will be selected by our engineer and a representative of the Park District. The estimated start date is September, 1978. Upon final completion of our work, including the removal of the pole line, a Quitclaim Deed will be prepared by the Telephone Company covering, the area of the pole line to be removed. All work involved will be at Telephone Company expense. If this is agreeable, please have the original copy of the right of way grant signed and notarized and return to me in the enclosed envelope.

Grench, General Manager PREPARED BY: J. Olson, Land Manager SUBJECT: Approval of Budget Contingency Funds for CETA Positions The budget report dated August 30 , 1978 contained reference in the land management section to CETA funds which would allow for the filling of two Ranger Aide positions during FY 1978-79 . These Ranger Aides would be involved in a series of construction and maintenance projects and fire patrol. The District' s current contracts through September 30 , 1978 are expir- ing. These are reflected in the adopted budget in the sum of $8 ,300 which show both as revenue and expense items. Santa Clara County has approved a CETA title IV project from October 1, 1978 through September 30, 1977 . The current appropriation from Congress runs through December of 1978 ; therefore, we have a committed grant of $5,450 . It is anticipated th t this funding will be extended by Congress to include the remainder of the federal fiscal year, from January 1 through September 30, 1979 . Therefore staff is requesting authorization to receive as revenue and disburse as salaries, the following: a) $5, 450 covering the period from October 1, 1978 through December 31, 1978 . b) authorization to expend $10 ,850 if granted to cover the period from January 1, 1979 through June 30 , 1979 . This authorization would give us an additional $10 ,850 through July 1, 1979, $5,450 would also be available for the first three months in the following fiscal year to cover the remaining three months of the grant. The total monies received from the grant will be approximately $21,750 .

Grench, General Manager PREPARED BY: M. Foster, Controller SUBJECT: Approval of Budget Contingency Funds for Computer Service I recommend that the Board fund the $1,000 for computer services shown as contingent in the approved 1978-79 budget. The $1,000 would be used to add an additional column to our monthly budget variance reports. Currently the budget variance report shows only a comparison of actual expenditures to the year-to-date budget. Based on discussions with the staff, I believe that cost con- trol could be improved if the reports also included a comparison of actual expenditures to the annual budget - i.e. , how much is left in the budget. I have found that this is how the program leaders think and plan, and our financial reporting should reflect this approach. The $1,000 is required for reprograming and a slight increase in computer time.

Although I supported this legislation in the Assembly , the bill , with added amendments , was defeated in the Senate during the waning hours of this year ' s session . I realize the tremendous difficulties this imposes upon special districts such as yours which rely entirely upon the property tax . Unless a special session is called in the meantime , it appears that we must hope for the speedy passage of a remedial measure when the Legislature reconvenes in January. You may be assured of my efforts on your behalf. Please stay in touch with me regarding your situation . Sincerely, VICTOR CALVO Assemblyman , 21st District VC : jm I Revised C-78-18 September 27 , 1978 Meeting 78-21 14IDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT C L A I M S Amount Name Description �12 $ 28.00 Diversified Transportation, Inc.
