This, because my first expectation is that the letter will be read by someone whose eyes are more alert than the dull eyes of the bureaucrat; second, that the ideas discussed will be considered by a mind less self serving than that of the politician; and third, that it may serve to raise again issuer, ,and questions with which your policy making group has grappled in the past. In principle, is not the forceable condemnation of privately held lands by the state under the right of eminent domain, taking away citizens' property with the potential for displacing established res- idents, in the name of " increased efficiency" and the achievement of "higher production" (translate into "ease of management" and "more man days of use" in the case of a park) closely akin to the tunnel vision approach in the form of consolidated ownership which spurred the rapid and fairly recent destruction of much of rural agricultural America by agribusiness with government's blessing? Prior to, and during that period of recent history, it seems too few questions were being asked concerning the possible ultimate social cost to the country as a whole resulting from the eventual displace- ment of most of an important sector of our culture. And even now there appears to be little intensive evaluation of the defined goals of that movement or of related basic issues such as soil depletion, food quality, etc. in the context of consolidated farm ownership, although the questions raised in your own publication "The Unsettling., III of America" by Wendell Berry provide an interesting exception. )1y experience has been that people in the rural mountain areas I know have made a unique adaptation to their own environment and furthermore exhibit a keen awareness of the need for cooperation as reflected in their webs of effort to meet local problems and to in- tegrate with the wider community -_ too often these are just as delicate and tenuous as those of other animal and plant communities around us. I also believe that man's intellect allows him to continue to change; if a mountain resident having an emotional investment in his land sees new alternatives that will help maximize the intrinsic value of his land to him, and yes, to the wider community as well, he will make those choices (Having worked with the Forest Service and industry for some 30 years I any frankly skeptical of the ability of either bureacracy or big business to be that responsive. ) These are qualities I see in my neighbors and that I feel within myself in the management of my own land which has the Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail skirting its southwest corner. Because of these questions and observations, I believe decisions involving land and people must be made with extreme care. If there is indeed a parallel between the past destruction of rural agricultur- al America and the potential similar threat to rural mountain America, it seems although in any specific case we may be talking about only a few scattered individuals and families here and there, the Passenger Pigeon syndrome probably applies: When there are so many, should we worry about the few? Sincerely, cc Tony Look, Sempervirens Fund Terrai Fieldhouse Midpeninsula Open Space District Forum Russell Cahill M-80-18 (Meeting 80-3 2/27/80 Agenda Item No. 1) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT MEMORANDUM February 19, 1980 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager PREPARED BY: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager SUBJECT: Clarification of Dedication Status, Monte Bello Open Space Preserve (Former Boy Scout Parcel) Discussion: On January 23, 1980 the Board received and accepted the subject one-acre parcel as an addition to the list of undedicated District lands (which was submitted on January 9, 1980) . However, this parcel had already been dedicated on February 14, 1979 , by Resolution No. 79-13, as a part of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. The confusion was caused by the combining and reseparating of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve and the Saratoga Gap Open Space Preserve, which had the effect of transferring the parcel from one preserve to another. We have now instituted a card system which is categorized by open space preserve and further separated by parcel, as acquired from each ownership. We are confident that our new system will keep accurate track of parcel dedication status as well as other vital information on each parcel and preserve. Recommendation: Since this parcel was previously dedicated by Resolution No. 79-13, it is hereby recommended that the Board rescind its action of January 23, 1980 which received and accepted this parcel for the list of undedicated District lands. R-80-4 (Meeting 80-3 2/27/80 MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT Agenda Item No. 2) REPORT February 19, 1980 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager; S. Sessions , Land Manager; C. DiGiovanni, Environmental Resource Planner SUBJECT: Determination of Public Necessity - Proposed Addition to Monte Bello Open Space Preserve (McNiel Property) Introduction: This 97 acre property located on Page Mill Road near Skyline Boulevard is adjacent to the boundary of the City of Palo Alto and adjoins the District' s 2, 500 acre Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. Contained within Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, the property primarily consists of a southwest-facing grassland slope, with a maximum elevation of 2,200 feet, that forms the headwaters of Stevens Creek. This creek, which contains resident rainbow trout, passes through the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve and Stevens Creek County Park and empties into the Stevens Creek Reservoir. Soils on the property are shallow and have been subject to extreme erosion conditions resulting from intensive horse grazing practices. Because of its location, topography and soil types, this property is critical in the protection of Stevens Creek' s water quality. This property is a key regional trail link and it is strategically situated near the intersection of Page Mill Road, Skyline Boulevard, the paved portion of Alpine Road which leads to Portola State Park, and the unpaved portion of Alpine Road which serves as a trail to Portola Valley. Because of its open character and high visibility, any development on the property would detract from the scenic nature of Skyline Boulevard, a State designated scenic highway, and Page Mill Road, which has been designated a scenic road by the City of Palo Alto. One of the attractions of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve is the feeling of being in a remote area where even the existing development detracts from the wilderness experience. This property represents a logical and vital extension of the bound- aries of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. The loss of the prop- erty would seriously impact regional trail development, scenic resources, water quality, and the wilderness value of adjacent public i land. I R-80-4 Page Two i A. Description of the Site (1) Size, Location and Boundaries . The 97 acre property is located in an unincorporated area of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties: 94. 5 acres are within Santa Clara County and 2. 5 acres are within San Mateo County. It is bounded by the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve to the north and east, Page Mill Road to the west, and private property to the south. The Los Trancos Open Space Preserve is located less than 0. 25 miles to the northeast on Page Mill Road, and the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve is less than 0. 25 miles to the southwest on Skyline Boulevard (see attached map) . (2) To2ography, Geology and Soils. Elevation ranges from 1,880 feet near Stevens Creek to 2, 200 feet at the northern border of the property. Soils on the property on slopes of from 5 to 30 percent are subject to moderate and severe sheet erosion. On steeper 50 to 75 percent slopes, soils are subject to very high erosion hazard and very rapid runoff. The property is contained within the San Andreas Rift Zone which is mapped as running through the site in a northwest- southeast direction. (3) vegetation and Wildlife. Grassland is the dominant plant community on the site. Horse grazing has resulted in fair to poor range quality, and the entire grassland area has been severely invaded by star thistle, an undesirable range plant, due to overgrazing. i Approximately 18 acres in the immediate stable and corral area have been completely stripped of vegetation, and it would take a number of years to restore the area to its natural condition with intensive restoration management. The Stevens Creek corridor is wooded with oak, madrone, and bay. The grassland and woodland should provide habitat for coyote, rabbits, hawks, bobcat, and perhaps even the California mountain lion which has been sighted in the vicinity. The property is currently overrun by ground squirrels, but the restoration of the grassland should stabilize the squirrel population and greatly enhance the variety of wildlife which frequent the property. I B. Planning Considerations, The 94 . 5 acres within Santa Clara County are zoned Agricultural, subject to a 20-160 acre minimum lot size based upon a slope density formula (areas within this zoning category are currently under a moratorium by the County pending further studies) . The 2. 5 acres within San Mateo County are zoned Resources Management, 5-40 acre minimum lot size. Since the San I I I R-80-4 Page Three Mateo parcel is below the 5 acre minimum, it is not in and of itself a buildable parcel. In this situation, San Mateo County would relinquish its zoning authority to Santa Clara County. The property is within the Sphere of Influence of the City of Palo Alto, but outside their Urban Service Area. The City has zoned adjacent lands Open Space, 10 acre minimum lot size; however, discussions with the City indicate that they have no intention of annexing this area. Acquisition for open space purposes has been found to be in conformity with the General Plans of all three jurisdictions. The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District' s Master Plan evaluation, which rates lands according to various open space values, indicates that the property has a medium high composite rating. The entire property is under a Wiliamson Act Land Preservation contract. C. Relationship to Regional Trails. The Master Trails and Pathways Plan for Santa Clara County shows a network of trails inter- secting on the property with access to the existing Stevens Creek trail and Alpine Road, Page Mill Road, and the proposed Skyline Corridor trail. D. Current Use and Development. Until a few months ago, a stable and riding school were operated on the property, and 40 to 50 horses were maintained. Development consists of the following: (1) A pole barn, 80 feet by 160 feet (2) A doublewide house trailer (3) A single wide house trailer (4) A "lounge room, " 20 feet by 24 feet, frame construction, on a pier foundation (5) A small "tack room, " frame construction (6) A large metal barn and two small sheds (7) Perimeter and interior fencing and corrals (8) Appurtenant septic and water systems A dirt road enters the property from Page Mill Road and descends to the metal barn located near Stevens Creek. Two reservoirs for watering livestock are located on the central portion of the property. one is an acre in size and currently operating and a smaller one is washed out. R-80-4 Page Four E. Potential Use and Management. The property could be incorp- orated into the existing and planned trails system on the ad- jacent Monte Bello Open Space Preserve and could provide a con- nection to the Los Trancos Open Space Preserve from the Alpine Road trail. Initial management should concentrate on restoration of the grassland and stabilization of soils for the protection of water quality, soil conservation, wildlife habitat restoration, and the improvement of scenic resources . once this restoration is underway, the property would become an integral part of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve which is anticipated to become one of the major hiking areas on the Midpeninsula. F. Use and Management Recommendations. (1) The site as shown on the attached map should remain closed to public use for at least one growing season while intensive grassland restoration is underway. A trail corri- dor will be established to allow access for hiking. (2) Staff should study the potential use of existing structures, with the possible relocation of the pole barn to the Ranger Yard for use as a truck port. Further recommendations would be made after staff has had an opportunity to study the property more closely. G. Name. It is recommended that this property be named as an addition to the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve/Page Mill Road Area. H. Dedication. It is recommended that this property be dedicated as public open space land. I. Terms. District staff had been working with Dolores McNiel, at her request, during 1978 and the early part of 1979, to acquire this critical parcel. An appraisal of the property has been com- pleted and offers to purchase the property were made accordingly. Because of Mrs. McNiel' s illness, negotiations were suspended. Staff has now been contacted by representatives of Mrs. McNiel 's estate. However, because of the number of people involved and a possible disagreement on the part of the heirs, it is necessary for the District to pass a resolution of intention to acquire. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, Finding and Requiring that the Public Interest and Necessity Require the Acquisition of Certain Properties for Public Use, to Wit: for Public Park, Recreation and Open Space Purposes, Describing the Properties Necessary Therefore and Authorizing and Directing its Retained Legal Counsel to do Everything Necessary to Acquire All Interests Therein.

Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Authorization to Create and Fill Two Additional Ranger Positions Introduction: Attached is report R-80-3 from S. Sessions to me regarding the creation of new Ranger positions. In a recent meeting with staff, the Budget Committee reviewed field staffing requirements and analyzed the effects of the new positions on the Land Management budget guidelines. Discussion: The Land Manager' s report discusses the reasons for adding two Ranger positions. The Land Management budget guidelines were addressed in this fiscal year's budget report (see report R-79-24, dated June 7, 1979) and adopted by you. However, the guidelines did not take into account the possible loss of "free" CETA Ranger Aide positions. If you decide to approve the creation and filling of two new Ranger positions, then you must be prepared to either increase the guideline base for fiscal year 1980-81 by $34 ,000, cut elsewhere in the Land Management budget, or determine some combination of the two. It is my opinion that given the level of activity called for in the Action Plan and in various adopted site use and management reports the full increase (or close to it) will be necessary. Recommendation: It is recommended that you approve the creation and filling of two additional Ranger positions. It is further recommended that you state your willingness to increase the Land Management budget guideline base by up to $34, 000 for fiscal year 1980-1981, with the exact amount to be determined during the budget process for the coming fiscal year. If Proposition 9 on the June statewide ballot should pass, the effects on the District ' s revenue may be substantial. We might be faced with the same kind of situation (and probably worse) as we were after the passage of Proposition 13. To be fair to them, the new Rangers would be hired with the fact made clear that Proposition 9 could have an effect on their jobs. I � Dom MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT REPORT February 19, 1980 I TO: H. Grench, General Manager I FROM: S. Sessions, Land Manager I SUBJECT: Request to Increase Ranger Staff and Land Management Budget Guidelines I Introduction: The District is presently functioning without the benefit of a Ranger Aide construction crew. In order to meet j budgeted construction commitments and maintain District preserves in a safe, usable condition, I recommend that the District create two new regular Ranger positions and not refill the Ranger Aide positions. This would provide the District with eight Rangers, five in a patrol mode and three with construction priority. Background: In April 1979, the Board of Directors authorized the General Manager to hire two additional patrol Rangers (Report R-79-16, dated April 19, 1979) in order to provide adequate patrol of District sites. This authorization brought the total number of Rangers to six from four. Thus, two Rangers could be on duty throughout the day during peak weekend use. This schedule is now in effect, and the attached charts (Exhibit A and B) show the typical patrol coverage with one Ranger available for construction during winter months and the proposed patrol/construction schedule. The CETA-funded Ranger Aide program, whereby the District relied on two CETA-funded aides to handle assigned construction tasks and assist regular staff, was not discussed in the April report. When CETA funding was lost in August 1979, the Board authorized interim funding to retain the aides until December 31, 1979 (see memorandum M-79-119, dated August 16, 1979). The aides voluntarily terminated prior to December 31, and positions were not refilled primarily because of the difficulty in attracting qualified applicants on a temporary basis. Discussion: The recommendation to replace the temporary aide positions with permanent Rangers is based on several factors. 1) FY79/80 Budgeted Projects - Various site protection, maintenance, and development tasks identified for the construction crew are i estimated to require some 2000 person hours to complete. i i i ................ R-80-3 Page Two 2) Projected Tasks - It appears that the construction work-load for next fiscal year will be equal to or greater than this year' s load. Impacts from sites such as Windy Hill and the Bridgeman property and from projects like Monte Bello Open Space Preserve development are unknown at this time. 3) Operations - In addition to the construction tasks, operations would be enhanced by the flexibility provided by additional Ranger positions. Crew rotation, patrol backup, and emergency assistance are some advantages that would be provided by the additional Rangers. 4) Patrol and Construction Coverage - The District provides an average of 5 1/3 patrol units (40 hour week equivalent) and 2 2/3 construction units during the average week when a Ranger is used for construction. The proposed structure would allow 5h patrol units and 2� construction units, thereby increasing patrol capability without reducing construction efficiency. This increased effectiveness would provide added depth to the Ranger organizational structure. For example, the use of Rangers instead of aides would provide the District with fully trained staff in the field, capable of enforcing District ordinances and assisting the public while performing construction tasks. 5) Personnel - A single Ranger class encompassing both construction and patrol was recommended by the District' s personnel consultant. Needed talent, i.e. , emphasis for construction or patrol, is determined in the hiring process. Flexibility within the Ranger staff is achieved by utilizing talents as needed at any given time. 6) Future Requirements - As the number and use of District sites grows and as additional demands are placed on staff, more Rangers will be required. The physical layout, geographical constraints, and complexity of patrol may require the creation of an inter- mediate supervisor level in the Ranger organization. In the future, it may be desirable to hire entry level Ranger Aides to provide a training base and a degree of upward mobility within the organizational structure. The addition of the Hassler Health Home site may require an addition of one more Ranger. However, it is felt that the present proposal allows the flexibility necessary to provide some patrol coverage to Hassler and other areas until development and use necessitate added staff. If the District provides or helps to provide management of the Edgewood site for a year or two prior to San Mateo County management, demands on District staff would also be increased. 7) Budget - Direct and indirect costs for two new Rangers for the balance of this fiscal year would amount to approximately $14 ,550. Unused funds within the Land Management salaries and benefits accounts would provide the dollars to fund these positions this fiscal year. R-80-3 Page Three Budget impacts forfiscal year 1980-81 would amount to an estimated $34 , 000 . Vehicles and major equipment require- ments would be provided by current inventory. Salary costs associated with the addition of two Rangers are some $150 more per month, at entry level, than salary costs for two Ranger Aides. Conclusion and Recommendations: It is my opinion that the advantages of Ranger staff versus aide staff far exceed the dollar differences when viewed in terms of staff professionalism and flexibility. The increased patrol capability is warranted, based on current and projected demands, and the development/maintenance program necessitates the construction crew requirements. Therefore, I recommend that you propose to the Board of Directors that they accept the concept of increasing the Land Management Budget guidelines by an amount equal to two Ranger positions and authorize you to hire two Rangers. i EXHIBIT A Ranger Mon.

Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Status of State Legislation of Interest to District Introduction: On December 12, 1979 you considered a mem- orandum from me on Recommendation for District Positions on Various State Legislation (see M-79-156) . You adopted the recommended positions on legislation held over from 1979 , took positions (including a "no-position" position) on three items proposed by the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) , and referred back to Committee a fourth EBRPD proposal. Since that time the Legislative Committee has met twice, including a meeting on February 20 to discuss the following items: 1) MROSD sponsored bills 2) EBRPD sponsored bills 3) Miscellaneous State legislation of interest to District a) Status of 1979 bills b) Additional bills MROSD Sponsored Bills: The legislative calendar in Sacramento, which apparently came out about February 8 , took many people by surprise because it called for a February 15 deadline for submission of new legislation. We were expecting an April date. As a result, staff had to complete work very quickly on proposed legislation we had been considering and would ordinarily have brought to the Legislative Committee and Board before it was introduced. The immediate problem was to find authors for two bills and to submit draft language by the deadline. This was accomplished on February 14 in Sacramento with the aid of the District' s Legislative Consultant. The Legislative Committee has reviewed and approved the proposals. The first proposal includes various amendments to Public Resources Code sections pertaining to regional park and open space districts. An attachment dated February 13 describes M-80-17 Page two the proposed amendments. Assemblyman Kncx has agreed to carry this bill. Due to the press of time we have coordinated only with EBRPD so far. The second proposal seeks to overcome a problem with the conditions of sale imposed by the Legislature in passing the Gregorio bill for the Edgewood site. The attachment dated February 20, 1980 describes the proposal. Senator Dills has agreed to carry the necessary legislation. Our efforts have been coordinated with San Mateo County. EPRPD Sponsored Bills: Attached is a letter dated February 5, 1980 and accompanying material from Michael Manley, the EPRPD lobbyist. The language proposed does not respond to the concerns which I related to you on December 12. However, I have been assured that our concerns would be taken into con- sideration when the actual bill was drafted in Sacramento. When that language is available, I will return to you on the matter. Miscellaneous State Legislation of Interest to District: Bob Beckus has furnished a status report on the various pieces of proposed State legislation on which you have taken positions. The status of these bills is quite satisfactory in light of the positions and action categories you assigned for them (see attached table dated February 19, 1980) . Additonal bills which have been identified as of interest to the District are summarized in the table below. others will come to our attention. The Legislative Committee has gone over these bills in some detail.

(2) That you authorize the President to send a letter to each of the three other regional park and open space district boards of directors seeking their comments and support on the proposed amendments to the Public Resources Code. (3) That you authorize the President to send a letter to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors advising them of the bill regarding the Edgewood site and seeking their support. (4) That you adopt the recommended positions and action categories on the additional bills and State prop- positions summarized herein. The Legislative Committee concurs in these recommendations. They feel, however, that the level of District effort in informing your constituency about the potential effects of Proposition 9 on District programs should be discussed and decided by the full Board.

With the approval of the board, the district manager may bind the district, without advertising and without written consent, for the payment for supplies, labor, or other valuable consideration furnished to the district, in amounts not to exceed three thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500) . All purchases shall be reported to the board of directors at its next regular meeting. Reason: This additional language will make it clear that the exercise of supervision and control by the general manager includes the appoint- ment of all employees not directly appointed by the board and that such employees serve at the general manager's pleasure. The parallel is to Sec. 5538: Administrative officers: Professional services. The board shall appoint a general manager, who shall be the chief administrative office of the district, and a controller, and may appoint other February 13, 1980 Proposed Changes in Public Resources Code Sections Relating to Regional Park and Open Space Districts Listed below are the pertinent sections of the Public Resources Code with our proposed changes noted by crossing out certain existing language and adding new language in italics. In addition, the reasons for the proposed changes are given. 1. Sec. 5547 Minor change for consistency with Sec. 5535 Ordinances, resolutions, and motions . The board of directors shall act only by ordinance, resolution, or a motion duly recorded in the minutes of the meeting. The ayes and noes shall betaken upon the passage of all ordinances or resolutions, and entered upon the journal of the proceedings of the board. An ordinance, resolution or motion shall not be passed or become effective without the affirmative votes of at least a majority of all the members of the board. The enacting clause of all ordinances passed by the board shall be in these words: "Be it ordained by the Board of Directors of the (giving the name) District. " All resolutions and ordinances shall be signed by the president of the board and attested by the secretary, administrative secretary or clerk, and all ordinances shall be published once within 30 days after adoption, in a newspaper of general circulation printed, published, and circulated in the district. Reason: The addition of the indicated words would make this section consistent with Sec. 5535 and would allow an "admini- strative secretary" or a "clerk" to attest to resolutions and ordinances if given that duty under Sec. 5535, which reads : ` rage four for checks or warrants drawn- in payment of obligations and demands against the district. Authorized signatories shall be selected from members of the board of directors of the district, the general manager of the district, a-n4 the admini- strative secretary or other such officers or employees as may be designated by the board. A minimum of two signatures shall be required on all checks and warrants. The controller shall keep an account of all receipts and dis- bursements, and shall deposit all money received by him in a depository or depositories selected by the board of directors. Reason: This change would make it clear that the board has the power to designate other signatories for the convenience of the district. In our case, for example, we wish to designate the assistant general manager. 5. Sec. 5580 Clarification of powers of districts to employ assessment district procedures. (New section) 5580. Benefit' Assessment Procedures. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a district may, with the approval by a 2/3 vote of the members of its board of directors, and without obtaining the consent of any other local legislative body, fully utilize the provisions of the Improvement Act of 1911 (Streets and Highways Code Sec. 5000 et seq. ) , the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 (Streets and Highways Code Sec. 10000 et seq. ) and the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Streets and Highways Code Sec. 8500 et seq. ) , with respect to territory within its boundaries and to carry out the purposes of this article. Reason: While our district counsel is of the opinion that regional park and open space districts organized under Public Resources Code Sec. 5500 et seq, can probably utilize the improvement and assess- ment proceedings of the improvement acts of 1911, 1913 and 1915, he states the matter is not free from doubt. This is due in part to the different language used in each Act to describe the local agencies that may use its provisions. (See Streets and Highways Code Secs. 5005, 10003, 8503) This amendment would make clear that regional park and open space districts could utilize the three commonly used assessment district acts in the sole discretion of the board of directors expressed by a 2/3 vote of its membership. Page three subordinate officers, and shall fix their compensation and duties. Such appointees shall hold office at the pleasure of the board. They shall give such bonds and in such amounts as the board may require. The board may consolidate any of such offices in one person. The board may also provide for an assistant to any officer of the district, who, when appointed by the board, may perform any act that his principal may perform, when authorized to do so by the board. The board may from time to time contract for or employ any professional services required by the district, or by the board, or by any officers of the district. 3. Sec. 5551 Changes for consistency with Sec. 5535 Secretary or administrative secretary: Powers and duties. The secretary of the board or the-administrative secretary, or the cZerk, as the case may be, shall countersign and affix the seal to all contracts and conveyances on behalf of the district, shall act as secretary to the board and keep a record of its proceedings, and shall perform such other duties as may be imposed upon him by the board ef ellreeterrs appointing authority or by this article. The administra-14ve seeretary shall give his full t4me diarring efflee heeaFs te the af fairs ef thet. Reason: Consistent with Sec. 5535 the "clerk" should be included in Sec. 5551. "Appointing authority" is substituted for "board of directors" since the general manager may be the appointing authority for an administrative secretary or clerk. The last sentence appears to be unnecessary, since work assignments are under the control of the appointing authority. If the sentence were to stay, then for consistency, the "clerk" should also be added. 4. Sec. 5552 Authorized signatory clarification Controller: Powers and duties: Signatories for checks or warrants. The Controller is the custodian of the funds of the district and shall make payments by check or by warrant drawn upon the district' s depositories for obligations that have been first approved by a majority of the board of directors at a meeting thereof. The board of directors also may, by resolution and under such terms and conditions it may prescribe there, authorize the controller to pay demands against the district, without the prior, specific approval of the board, that are for any purpose for which an expenditure has been previously authorized in the district's adopted budget and which do not exceed the amount of expenditure so authorized. Demands so paid shall be pre- sented to the board of directors at the next regular meeting for its review and approval. If the funds of the district are maintained solely in the county treasury, the county auditor shall exercise the powers otherwise conferred by this section on the controller. The board of directors shall by ordinance authorize signatories February 20, 1980 PROPOSED CHANGE IN CONDITIONS OF SALE BY STATE OF EDGEWOOD SITE PROPOSED LEGISLATION: Eliminates section relating to retention of mineral deposits by State (as defined by Section 6407 of the Public Resources Code) in Chapter 792 of the Statutes of 1978. Section 1: Chapter 792 of the Statutes of 1978 shall be amended as follows: All of Section 3 is hereby deleted. Section 2: All other sections of said Chapter 792 shall remain in full force and effect. BACKGROUND: The original legislation (Chapter 792) reserves certain mineral rights to the State as described in Public Resources Code Section 6407. These mineral deposit reservations include surface rights of entry and pre- sent the following problems: 1) The retention of mineral rights and/or surface rights of entry have not been appraised by the State. A new valu- ation of the property would waste precious time and most assuredly result in a reduction in the value of the prop- erty and less money to the State. 2) The retention of surface rights for mineral exploration and/or extraction has jeopardized a $950,000 federal Land and Water Grant that the County and the District have already secured for the project. Even the retention of mineral rights below 500 feet below the surface of the property may have an adverse effect on the grant. SUMMARY: It appears that this Chapter of the Public Resources Code, Section 6401 et seq. specifically exempts "land acquired by the State for public use" (Section 6403(f) ) . Since this property was acquired for public use, i.e. , the "Edgewood State College Site," this is the basis for elimination of this section.

I had thought that Dick Trudeau had earlier sent copies of these resolutions to Herb Grench, but I may be mistaken. Please be assured that I will keep you advised as to the progress of this legislation, although as of now I do not have definite authors for either bill. The third bill, not yet drafted, would require a city or county, as appropriate, to submit to the Regional Park Agency any proposed zoning or land use change involving lands not pre- viously developed which are within 1,000 feet of a district park. According to that bill, regional park districts would not have a veto power over such development, but would have input and power to review and comment on proposed developments within the Ilencroachment zone" . I will keep you informed as to the status of this bill also. Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information. Cordially, IF Michael--A.'<Ma_n MAM:sli Enclosure cc Richard C.

ABSENT: Directors none. i i ( I I I I LEGISLATION CONCERNING BOARD COMPENSATION The 1978 Legislature passed AB 854 which changed both the manner and the amount of compensation for members of boards of directors of regional park districts. That legis- lation increased the amount of monthly compensation that a board member could receive in any one month to $200 . 00, and allowed compensation for board members at the rate of $50.00 per board meeting and $25. 00 per committee meeting, field trip or district public hearing. This method of compensation has proved to be cumbersome and unequal in its application insofar as members of the board of directors of the East Bay Regional Park District are concerned. While all board members attend the same num- ber of total meetings of district bodies, some attend more committee meetings than others and for this reason board members are not paid equally. This bill would solve that problem by doing away with any compensation for attendance at committee meetings, field trips, etc. , and instead allow compensation at the rate of $100. 00 per public meeting of the board. It would not change the total amount of compensation that may be received by any director in any one month, which would stay at $200 .00 per month. Additionally, this legislation would allow the board of directors of a regional park district to allow its members to participate in the medical and/or dental plan which is avail- able to permanent employees of the district. In this connection, this benefit is currently available to members of boards of school districts and other similar public bodies. I There is no State cost, either direct or indirect, implicit in this legislation. fMr.•� ^r s t WERf13 a u_RSM, j 3 DEC 101979 EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT SA`'"""'Gt-tow urrwE € RESOLUTION No. 1979-12-292 pI!

ABSENT: Directors none. iT EXPLANATION OF PROPOSED BORROWING LEGISLATION The Public Resources Code has, for many years, authorized a regional park district to borrow up to $200,000.00 for the purpose of building revenue producing projects . The East Bay Regional Park District which is sponsoring this legislation, utilized this borrowing authority a number of years ago in an effort to construct a golf driving range at Tilden Park in the East Bay hills. Since the passage of Proposition 13 the East Bay Regional Park District has been investigating various enterprise fund operations which would supplant the need for property tax reve- nues. One such project that has been proposed is the construction of a small marina at one of the district' s shoreline parks. However, inflation has made the existing $200,000. 00 borrowing limit totally inadequate for the purposes of constructing any reasonably sized revenue producing facility. This legislation would increase the $200,000 .00 limit, replacing it with a limitation of five percent of the district' s general fund and development fund budget in a year. This would allow the district to borrow approximately $900 ,000 .00, based upon its budget this year, but it would also provide a flexible borrowing limit which would not require constant legislative change as inflation increases over the years. The present law requires that any such indebtedness must be paid within a period not to exceed five years , and at an interest rate not to exceed eight percent per annum. These limitations would not change and would effectively limit the amount of borrowing in which the district could engage. BILL NO. StP1--01q/0I`)P0Sh/ T AC'UON AUTHOR SUMMARY.

I 1 M-80-13 (Meeting 80-3 2/27/80 MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT Agenda Item No. 5) MEMORANDUM February 20, 1980 TO: Board of Directors FROM: M. Foster, Controller SUBJECT: Renewal of Investment Authority Discussion: My authority to invest temporarily idle funds expired on January 24, 1980 according to the provisions of Resolution 79-9. The advantage to the District of maintaining its own direct investment program remains as great as it was a year ago, and I, therefore, request that you extend my investment authority for another year. The current Investment Goals and Guidelines are outlined in Exhibit "A" . The changes from last year are (1) the deletion of "California" which preceded the words "banks and savings and loan associations" , in Guideline 8, (2) the elimination of the prior Guideline 10 specifying preferred check signers, (3) the insertion of a new Guideline 10 specifying that all securities stand in the name of the District, and (4) the addition of Guide- lines 12 and 13 which document procedures for and controls over wiring funds and purchasing securities through our bank investment department. RESOLUTION NO. 80- RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT AUTHORIZING CERTAIN BOARD EMPLOYEES TO INVEST TEMPORARILY IDLE FUNDS IN SECURITIES ALLOWED BY GOVERNMENT CODE. WHEREAS, the District needs to maximize its yield on temporarily idle funds in order to help meet land acqui- sition objectives; and WHEREAS, Government Code, Sections 53630 et. seq. authorize the District to invest inactive funds in securities currently yielding interest rates higher than the Santa Clara County Fund; and WHEREAS, the District can improve its yield on temporarily idle funds without sacrificing financial safety or flexibility; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED as follows : Section One. The Board of Directors of the Midpenin- sula Regional Open Space District does hereby authorize the Controller, or in his/her absence, a District employee author- ized to act on his/her behalf, to invest temporarily idle funds according to the Investment Goals and Guidelines attached here- to as Exhibit "A" and by reference made a part hereof. Section Two. Before any particular investment the Controller shall consult with the General Manager, or a District employee authorized to act in his/her behalf, to determine anticipated cash flow needs of the District. Section Three. This Resolution supersedes Resolution No. 79-9 adopted January 24 , 1979. This Resolution shall no longer be in effect as of February 27, 1981, unless extended in time, and inactive funds shall then be deposited in the Santa Clara County commingled investment fund. Exhibit "A" Investment Goals and Guidelines GOALS Goal 1. Capital Preservation Temporarily idle funds shall be invested in a conservative manner such that funds can always be withdrawn at, or just below, full invested value. Investments that offer opportunities for signi- ficant capital gains and losses are excluded. Goal 2. Liquidity Temporarily idle funds will be managed so that normal operating cash needs and scheduled extraordinary cash needs can be met on a same day basis. Investments will be sufficiently liquid to provide a steady and reliable flow of cash to the District to insure that all land purchases can be made promptly (within two weeks) . Goal 3. Income Temporarily idle funds shall earn the highest rate of return that is consistent with capital preservation and liquidity goals and the Government Code. GUIDELINES 1. Determination of Idle Funds. The Controller will prepare a complete cash flow projection prior to all investment decisions. This cash flow projection will be reviewed and evaluated by the General Manager. The General Manager is responsible for desig- nating the maximum amount of funds available for investment in each month. 2. Contingency Reserve. A contingency reserve of between $500,000 and $1,500, 000 shall be maintained with the Santa Clara County Treasurer. The General Manager is responsible for determining the size of this contingency reserve. 3. Non-Invested Funds. Idle District funds not otherwise invested will be deposited with the Santa Clara County Treasurer. 4. Selection of Investments. The Controller is responsible for selecting specific investments that fit within the amounts and maturities designated by the General Manager. The Controller is also responsible for directing security transactions. 5. Investment Instruments. Investments shall be limited to those allowed by the Government Code. 6. Diversification. Investments other than insured or col- lateralized deposits at banks and savings and loan asso- ciations shall be diversified. 7. Marketability. For investments other than deposits, the breadth of ownership and number of securities outstanding will be sufficient to establish a secondary market in which investments can be readily converted to cash without causing a material change in their market value. 8. Acceptable Banks. Bankers' Acceptances and Negotiable Certificates of Deposit may be purchased only from banks and savings and loan associations with over $500,000,000 of deposits. 9. Acceptable Collateral. Securities collaterizing bank or savings and loan deposits must be rated "A" or higher. 10. Investments in Name of District. All investments purchased shall stand in the name of the District. 11. Reporting. The Controller shall report all security trans- actions to the Budget Committee no later than the next Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors after any trans- action has been made. The Controller shall submit a complete listing of the investment portfolio to the Budget Committee by the fourth Wednesday of each month. 12. Wiring of Funds. Wiring of funds from the District bank account for purchase of investments shall in each instance require prior written authorization of check signatories authorized by the applicable Board resolution. Authorization shall specify the destination of the wired funds and the security to be purchased. 13. Purchase of Securities through Bank. The Controller is authorized to purchase securities through the investment department of the District' s bank. The Bank shall be instructed in writing to only purchase securities in the name of the District and that all matured funds shall be returned to the District's bank account. M-80-16 (Meeting 80-3 2/27/80 Agenda Item No. 6) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT MEMORANDUM February 5 , 1980 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Revised Budget for Fiscal Year 1979-1980 Introduction: On June 13 , 1979 you adopted the preliminary budget for the 1979-1980 fiscal year (see report R-79-24 of June 7 , 1979) . That budget reflected assumptions regarding estimated tax revenues and State aid based upon the previous fiscal year. As it turned out, in July 1979 the Legislature, in adopting AB 8 , allocated no direct bailout to special dis- tricts but did allocate a larger share of the property tax to them than in the previous fiscal year when there were bailout funds for special districts. Discussion: It would now be appropriate, as was done in times past when final projected tax revenues were available, to adopt a revised budget for the current fiscal year. The attached sheets, which are a mark-up of the adopted preliminary budget, indicate recommended changes. The explanations below are keyed to the numbering system for the line items on the sheets. Only previously Board-authorized expenditure budget changes are in- cluded. Comments I. Revenues A. Tax revenues reflect AB 8 allocation formula. C. , D. Updated figures from the counties E. No direct State aid under AB 8 F. No special debt service revenue is forthcoming this fiscal year. G. Updated estimate based upon projected cash flow. H. Grant from Committee for Green Foothills now included. I. District CETA program funding cut off M-80-16 Page two III. Expenditures A. 1, 2 Adjusted for rescheduling payments on an installment contract B. 3 , 4 Add about $16 ,000 additional needed for Associ- ate Land Acquisition Representative (10/27/79) and reduce by $3 , 000 for transfer to C.4 . C. 3 Add $4 ,160 for personnel services (8/22/79) CA Increased by $4 ,800 to cover Legislative Con- sultant contract extension (12/12/79) C. 11 Reduce by $1, 000 to help cover Legislative Consultant fees (12/12/79) D. 2 Reduced to balance net change in projected revenues The bottom line of all of this is that there would be about $1 million less budgeted for new land commitments this year than preliminarily budgeted. However, the District could dip into reserve funds allocated for the first half of the 1980 - 1981 fiscal year if additional land acquisition opportunities arise. Recommendation: It is recommended that you adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Adopting Revised Budget for Fiscal Year 1979 - 1980. ie 13, 1979 EXHIBIT A MIDPENDWEA REGICNAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 1979-80 I.

Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: S. Sessions, Land Manager, and Cynthia DiGiovanni, Environmental Resource Planner SUBJECT: Proposed Forestry Grant Application The State of California Department of Forestry administers a grant program funded by the California Urban Forestry Act of 1978 which allocates monies on a matching basis for projects which improve or maintain urban forest resources. Funding criteria emphasize innovative management techniques which can be applied to other areas of the State and which are educational in nature. Projects are typically in the $20, 000 to $30, 000 range. The filing deadline is March 3, 1980 and funding becomes available on June 1, 1980. Land Management staff is in the process of preparing an appli- cation for a controlled burning program at the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. The Board approved the preliminary use and management plan for the Preserve on July 11, 1979. This plan contained the recommendation that a fire management plan for the site be prepared by a consultant and $2, 000 was budgeted for this item. The grant would cover the cost of the plan, the first year' s burning program, District administrative costs, and the develop- ment of an interpretive trail. The District' s matching share would be in-kind services in the form of California Construction Corps and District labor.

The problem we are trying to solve stems from the fact that SB 2124 (enclosed) which offered the site for sale at fair market value to San Mateo County and this District, called for the State to retain mineral rights. li That clause was inserted in 1978 at the behest of Senator Dills. The problem is that the approved $950,000 federal Land and Water Conservation Fund grant is in jeopardy for two reasons. One is that the feds would view mining now or in the future as incompatible with the park and recre- ation purposes for which the grant would be given. A second is that retention of mineral rights would decrease the valuation of the property, and they would not be able to approve the States' appraisal which did not take this into account. The County, District and State have agreed on the price for the property based upon the States ap- praisal, and everything is ready to proceed if the problem can be solved. Retention of the mineral rights would be very diffi- cult to appraise, could lead to protracted disagreements , between the parties and would logically decrease the income to the State from the sale. Incidentally, we have done considerable research to determine the results of geological surveys which have been done, and could find no evidence of viable mineral deposits. Senator Dills has offered to carry a bill to delete Section 3 from Chapter 792, Statutes of 1978 so that the property can be sold in full fee. As I understand it, the M;c =­­Af­Z­11­W­—A T­­n­­1'_W-A- Honorable Marz Garcia State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 February 21, 1984 Page two Senator's chief concern has been that the State should• retain mineral rights when surplus State lands are sold to private parties.

The problem we are trying to solve stems from the fact that SB 2124 (enclosed) which offered the site for sale at fair market value to San Mateo County and this District, called for the State to retain mineral rights. That clause was inserted in 1978 at the behest of Senator Dills. The problem is that the approved $950,000 federal Land and treater Conservation Fund grant is in jeopardy for two reasons. One is that the feds would view mining now or in the future as incompatible with the park and recre- ation purposes for which the grant would be given. A second is that rentention of mineral rights would decrease the valuation of the property, and they would not be able to approve the States' appraisal which did not take this into account. The County, District and State have agreed on the price for the property based upon the States' ap- praisal, and everything is ready to proceed if the problem can be solved. Retention of the mineral rights would be very diffi- cult to appraise, could lead to protracted disagreements between the parties and would logically decrease the income to the State from the sale. Incidentally, we have done considerable research to determine the results of geological surveys which have been done, and could find no evidence of viable mineral deposits. Senator Dills has offered to carry a bill to delete Section 3 from Chapter 792, Statutes of 1978 so that the n erstand it the As Iud 'n full fee. ,sold �. can be o property Herbert A.Grench,Genera!Manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Barbara Green,Nonette G.Hanko,Richard S.Bishop.Edward G.Shelley,Harry A.Turner,Daniel G.Wendin » I Honorable Bob Naylor State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 February 21, 1980 Page two Senator' s chief concern has been that the State should retain minteral rights when surplus State lands are sold to private parties. We would be most appreciateive if- you would co-author his bill and help us to complete this important project for the citizens of the area.
