Grench, General Manager PREPARED BY: S. Sessions, Land Manager SUBJECT: Monte Bello Open Space Preserve Site Plan Introduction: The application requesting site and design approval of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve site plan was Presented to the Palo Alto Planning Commission on May 28, 1980, and District staff reaffirmed the Board's desire to locate a parking area in the proposed "G" location. By a Unanimous vote, the Planning Commission denied the application. The Commissioners ' primary concern was the location of the proposed parking area. Discussion: The Planning Commission clarified its action by indicating its desire to have the District consider a parking area and restroom structure in the Los Trancos Open Space Preserve in an area known as the riding ring. Further, the Commission referred the trails element of the site plan and the request to remove the cisterns and structures located on the site to city staff for a determination of jurisdiction with regard to these elements. The Planning Commission also gave the District the option of appealing the Commission' s decision before the Palo Alto City Council or Preparing a new proposal that would be acceptable to the Planning Commission. Subsequent to the Commission' s action, city staff informed District staff that the trails element had been accepted by the Commission and referred to the City' s Architectural Review Board; they also stated that the removal of the cisterns and structures was to be handled at the staff level through a demolition Permit process. Based on this information, the Board must again take the parking area and the restrooms under consideration. Some available options are the following: A) After consideration of the intended uses of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve, including the handicap emphasis, the Board could reaffirm its decision to locate a parking lot in M-80-46 Page Two area "G" and then appeal the Planning Commission' s decision to the Palo Alto City Council. B) Implement the Monte Bello site plan and develop all elements of the plan except the parking area and restrooms. The present Los Trancos Open Space Preserve parking lot and the shoulders of Page Mill Road would be used for parking. C) Elect to develop a parking area on the Los Trancos Open Space Preserve. This alternative, though not consistent with project objectives, could provide for adequate parking. Staff has, at the Planning Commission's recommendation, re- evaluated the riding ring area of the Los Trancos Open Space Preserve for use as a parking lot. A possibility exists whereby the District could develop a 70-car parking area and remove the existing parking lot. The resulting parking area would not totally relate to the Monte Bello site and could have a tendency to overload the Los Trancos Open Space Preserve. Other possible parking sites were investigated and found undesir- able for a variety of reasons. Therefore, the Board of Directors should reaffirm the District' s goal to develop the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve essentially as planned and select an option that would facilitate implementing the proposed site development plan. Recommendation: It is recommended that you proceed with option A herein so that this regional preserve has a parking area which, among other things, is as safe as possible, is located on the Monte Bello side of the road (to minimize pedestrian crossing) , is visible from Page Mill Road, has adequate sight distance, and which relates directly to the trail system of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. It will be up to Board and staff to con- vince the Palo Alto City Council of the wisdom of this location. Hopefully, the Council will defer to your considered (even agonizing! ) decision as public representatives with considerable expertise in regional open space planning. R-80-32 ee (Meeting 80-13 6/11/80 Agenda Item No. 2 ) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT REPORT June 5, 1980 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager PREPARED BY: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager SUBJECT: Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve Acquisition Follow-up (Former Lands of Fine) Discussion: On April 9, 1980, by Resolution No. 80-20 you accepted and approved a purchase agreement to acquire the subject property. At the same time, by consensus, staff was authorized to attempt to assume the First Deed of Trust as a part of the purchase price and in the amount of approximately $90,000 at an annual interest rate of 5% . Accordingly, the District was able to assume this Deed of Trust at the close of escrow. The original note required that the full principal. amount was due and payable on or before January 1, 1982 . Staff has suc- cessfully negotiated a new, fully amortized note, secured by a Deed of Trust on the property. The terms of the new note would be as follows : 1. Principal amount $89, 600 (the District has made two monthly payments which have reduced the principal from the assumed amount of $89 , 670. 56) 2. Fully amortized over 5 years 3. Annual rate of interest 5% 4 . Payments to be made in 5 annual installments of 1/5 of the principal plus accrued interest on the unpaid balance These are considered to be very favorable terms for the District, and if approved by the Board the Deeds of Trust and other documents would be placed in escrow for closing on June 30, 1980. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Directors authorize the President and other Board members to execute the installment note and further authorize the President or other appropriate officer to execute the Deeds of Trust for simultaneous closing in Santa Clara and San Mateo County. DO NOT DESTROY THIS NOTE: When paid, this note and the Deed of Trust must be surrendered to the First American Title Insurance Company with request for reconveyance.

Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Adoption of Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 1980-81 Discussion: At your meeting of May 28 , 1980, you considered a staff report on the Presentation of Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 1980-81 (report R-80-24 of May 22 , 1980) . No action was requested at that time. The proposed budget was developed under the assumption that Proposition 9 would not pass , and the voters indeed rejected the measure. It is now time to take action on the budget and on the Open Space Management budget policies. Included in the attached materials are reports from the Budget Committee and Controller to aid you in your decision. Recommendations : The following actions are recommended : (1) Adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Adopting Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 1980-1981. (2) Adopt the revised Open Space Management Budget Policies presented in report R-80-24 of May 22 , 1980. When final projected revenue figures are forwarded by Santa Clara and San Mateo County, a g "final" budget will be prepared for your consideration. At that time, expenditure adjustments can be made to reflect any further Board action. Salary range actions will be considered under a separate agenda ite (see report R-80-29) . R-80-28 (Meeting 80-13 6/11/80 Agenda Item No. 3 b) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT REPORT June 6 , 1980 TO: Board of Directors FROM: M. Foster, Controller SUBJECT: Analysis of the Proposed Fiscal Year 1980-81 Budget The attached Cash Flow Projection shows the impact of the pro- posed fiscal year 1980-81 budget on the District' s cash posi- tion. Cash Position If projected June land purchases close on schedule, the District will begin the new fiscal year with cash and short-term invest- ments of approximately $6 .8 million. This amount is sufficient to cover debt service, operating expenses, reserve requirements, and previous land commitments without any cash flow problems. Revenue 1. Basic Property Tax Revenue is budgeted at $3 .32 million - $2 . 3 million for Santa Clara County and $1. 0 million from San Mateo County. This assumes a 14% increase in Santa Clara and a 12% increase in San Mateo. 2. Debt Service Property Tax Revenue of $1.3 million is budgeted to cover the principal and interest payments required by the District' s pre-Proposition 13 debt. 3. Interest Income is budgeted at $250,000. This compares with projected'interest income during fiscal year 1979-80 of over $950, 000 . Three factors account for the low budget estimate. First, due to computer systems problems, Santa Clara County employed a procedure for apportioning interest from the pooled investment fund that over-paid the District by about $160,000. The budget assumes this will be reclaimed by the County during the 1980-81 fiscal year. Second, projected interest yields are expected to be about 30% less than avail- able this year. Third, the budget estimate assumes that a majority of land purchases will occur in the first six months of the fiscal year. If major acquisitions are again delayed, the interest projection will be exceeded. R-80-28 Page Two 4. Grant Revenue is budgeted at $805 ,000, reimbursing the District for portions of the cost of the Edgewood, Crittenden, and Maridon properties. 5. Enterprise Revenue is projected at $31 ,500. Associated direct expenses in fiscal year 1980-81 are budgeted at $15 ,000. 6. Grant Anticipation Notes totalling $1 million are available from the District' s bank covering payments or deposits re- quired in acquiring the Hassler property. The bank will re- quire evidence of the grant and a written bond council opinion. 7. Other Revenue of $1,000 consists of contributions and fines. Reserves Fiscal year 1979-80 projected year-end reserves consist of $4. 07 million of restricted reserves and $2.75 million in the general fund. The budget assumes that the District will completely expend the restricted reserves and reduce the general fund re- serve to $1.45 million. However, a new Emergency Reserve of $1. 5 million is being created. Land Acquisition Funds The District' s reserves and projected revenues provide funding for $7 . 9 million of land purchases in fiscal year 1980-81. Debt Capacity The District' s debt capacity is more than $18 million. After making the July payments, we will have $5.7 million of debt out- standing. Therefore, given favorable bond market conditions and the defeat of Proposition 9 , 1 recommend that the District issue $3-$5 million of additional negotiable promissory notes during the 1980-81 fiscal year.

Hanko, H. Turner and D. Wendin SUBJECT: Budget for 1980-81 Fiscal Year The Committee has met over the last several months to consider the budget proposed by staff for fiscal year 1980-81. In doing this, we assumed that Proposition 9 would fail, which fortunately came to pass. Otherwise, we would be continuing with the budget process. The Budget Committee recommends adoption of the. Action Plan and Budget Resolution presented by staff after several specific issues , listed below, have been addressed by the Board. We suggest that these issues be addressed one by one before con- sidering the overall budget. In addition, the Board will take independent action adopting revised salary ranges. 1. Clarification of the budget limit formula for the Open Space Management budget. 2. Setting of the tax rate to include additional revenues to cover pre-Proposition 13 debt. 3. Change of effective date of salary range changes for General Management appointees to July 1 from first pay period in August. 4 . Adoption of a Program Evaluation Format. 5. Agendizing a discussion of office space. 1. & 2. Land Management Guideline Clarification and Tax Rate. Items 1 and 2 are covered in H. Grench' s report to the Board at the May 28 meeting (report R-80-24 , dated May 22, 1980) . The Budget Committee recommends adoption as presented. 3. Effective Date of Salary Range Changes. Under Board policy, salary range changes adopted at the time that the District' s salary administrative system was put into effect, are effective the first pay period in August. This date was chosen to accommodate the Santa Clara County payroll R-80-30 Page Two system then being used. The District now uses the Wells Fargo Bank payroll system under which any effective date can be handled with minimum difficulty, including a retroactive raise if this should even be necessary. The Budget Committee recom- mends changing the effective date to July 1 to make it consis- tent with most other agencies in the area, and in particular with the agencies surveyed. This change gives a minor one-time benefit to our staff at a one-time cost of $3 ,600 to the District. 4 . Adoption of a Program Evaluation Format. Each subprogram is evaluated separately, although some may be combined if staff believes that they should be evaluated to- gether. A written summary report by staff is provided at each step. In January: a) Staff reviews progress on key objectives and projects in the current Action Plan since July 1. b) Staff presents preferably no more than two key objectives or projects for the following fiscal year. c) Board members discuss the presentation and give feedback to staff on staff ' s or other key object- tives and projects, and on priorities. d) Staff incorporates its reports and its understand- ing of Board' s thinking into the draft Action Plan, including a one or two sentence priority summary. In August/September: a) Staff reviews progress on Action Plan since January with fine tuning of the objectives and Action Plan if required. Special purpose workshops should be held as needed. In order to get the process started, the Budget Committee recommends that the January process be performed for the first time in August or September 1980, with a review of key objectives and projects in the 1979-1980 Action Plan. 5. office Space. The Budget Committee recommends that the issue of lease renewal be agendized at the June 25 , 1980 meeting. The Budget Committee felt no urgency in having the Board consider the long-term issue. However, the Budget Committee recommends that staff re-analyze the criteria presented in its earlier reports and agendize dis- cussion before the end of 1980.

Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Action Plan for Implementation of the Basic Policy of the Midpeninsula Regional open Space District for the 1980-1981 Fiscal Year Introduction: At your meeting of April 23 , 1930 , you ten- tatively adopted the Action Plan for Implementation of the Basic Policy of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District for the 1980-1981 fiscal year (see report R-80-18 , dated April 16 , 1990) . This Plan was used as a guide in the development of the new budget. The working assumption for the Action Plan and budget was that Proposition 9 would not pass, and therefore , revenue was predictable. The voters turned down the measure on June 3 , and the Action Plan need not be revised. Discussion: The proposed Action Plan is attached. Changes have been made from the original version in accordance with the discussion of April 23 . One important recommendation in the April 16 report was that you determine the most effective way to evaluate District progress for fiscal year 1979-90 and beyond. Evaluation pro- cesses were considered by the Budget Committee with input from staff and are discussed in the Committee report. I heartily concur with the Committee' s recommendations for an improved ongoing evaluation process for the effectiveness of District programs. Recommendation: It is recommended that you adopt the attached Action Plan for Implementation of the Basic Policy of the Midpeninsula Regional open Space District for the 1980-1981 Fiscal Year. It is also recommended that you adopt the pro- gram evaluation process recommended by the Budget Committee. The format, or some of the content of the Action Plan, par- ticularly the "Priorities for Current Year" , may be revised later as a result of the evaluation process. ACTION PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BASIC POLICY OF THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT FOR THE 1980-1981 FISCAL YEAR I. Open Space Acquisition Program II.

Special Projects To Implement the BASIC POLICY OBJECTIVE: The District will purchase or otherwise acquire interest in the maximum feasible amount of strategic open space within the District planning areas. A. Negotiations Subprogram Summary i This subprogram includes the continuation and initiation of contracts with landowners, realtors, and other appropriate individuals in order to convert the major portion of the District's income (including tax revenue, current grants, State surplus and •borrowing power, if feasible) into commitments on major properties throughout the District. Priorities for Current Year The District will, concentrate its efforts on the purchase of high priority parcels at desirable prices (market value or less) , and secondarily will seek opportunity acquisitions (bargain prices or outright gifts) of other parcels, within budget and cash constraints. Typical Projects and Activities 1. Maintain and initiate contacts with landowners, real estate appraisers and brokers, developers, architects, engineers, zoning and planning officials, and financial institutions. 2. Explore various alternatives to offer advantages to landowners, as well as to the District, regarding terms of purchase (e.g. , options, installment purchases, defeasible fee, etc. ) . 3. Explore additional methods to protect open space lands for less than the total cost of fee acquisition (open space easements, acquisition of development rights, development dedication, cooperation with private individuals and groups, etc. ) . 4. Maintain a working relationship with Peninsula Open Space Trust in order to enhance the possiblity of bargain sales, gifts and fund raising efforts. 5. 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 and gift oppor- tunities. 6. Institute eminent domain proceedings, in the extraordinary case, in the event negotiations fail to produce an agreeement on terms of purchase where the parcel involved is key to the District' s program. Required Staff Resources 60% of time of Land Acquisition Manager 20% of time of Real Estate Research Analyst 30% of time of Secretary-Land Acquisition and Public Communications 100% of time of temporary Land Acquisition uisition Representative ( 1/2 year remaining on contract) .

Land Analysis SL _,rogram Summary This subprogram is designed to determine the present status of parcels located within the District and serve as a guide as to which parcels are most significant to the District in terms of planning for acquisition and meeting the District' s stated objectives. Priorities for Current Year Existing and new information will be compiled which will aid in negoti- ations for parcels. opportunities for bargain purchases may be identified as a result of this subprogram. Typical Projects and Activities 1. Develop acquisition recommendations and projected land acquisition costs in conjunction with Open Space Management Program. 2. Compile and maintain information of real estate market activities. 3. Gather information on local, State and Federal regulations (e.g. , zoning, subdivision and urban services, and on restrictions or plans contained in general plan elements and other planning studies. 4.

Grench, General Manager PREPARED BY: J. Fiddes, Administrative Assistant SUBJECT: Adoption of New Salary Ranges Introduction: At your meeting of May 23, 1979, you received and accepted the May 1979 comprehensive report on Salary, Fringe Benefits and Personnel Systems prepared by Mr. Gary Foss, the District's personnel consultant. You also con- sidered a report from me and adopted a series of recommendations for implementation of the study (see report R-79-18 of May 16 , 1979) . According to the Foss report, the procedure for up- dating the District ' s salary survey was to be implemented during the April-June period each year so new salary ranges could be set in conjunction with the annual adoption of the budget. The salary survey for the 1980-81 fiscal year has been completed. The process that was involved, the survey results, and my recommendations for new salary ranges are discussed herein. Discussion: A. Procedure: The salary survey for the 1980-81 fiscal year was conducted in accordance with the procedures outlined in Mr. Foss ' May 1979 report and his November 1979 Salary Survey Study, the update and fine-tuning of the May report (see also my memorandum M-79-155 of December 6 , 1979) . The District classes of Secretary, Ranger, Real Estate Research Analyst, Environmental Management Planner, Public Communi- cations Coordinator, Administrative Assistant, and Land Acquisition Manager were selected for surveys in accordance with the November recommendations. All District classes were checked to see if there had been any qualification changes, responsibility changes, class concept changes, or internal status changes since the completion of the November Salary Survey. It was determined that the District classes had not changed. Based on the criteria outlined in the Salary, Fringe Benefits and Personnel Systems report, the following cities, counties, districts, and private groups within the greater San Fran- cisco-Oakland Metropolitan geographical area were contacted for salary survey information: R-80-29 Page Two City of Palo Alto City of San Mateo City of Sunnyvale City of Hayward Santa Clara County San Mateo County East Bay Regional Park District East Bay Municipal Utility District Association of Bay Area Governments Western Management Group Survey At each organization, pertinent information was first requested about general salary changes that had occurred since October or that were expected to occur within the near future in order to ascertain the "big picture" of what was happening at each organization in terms of salary increases. Each position used as a comparable at the organization for the District classes to be surveyed was reviewed. In each case, the comparables were reviewed to determine if any changes (i.e. , qualifications, concept, responsibilities, changed status) had occurred since October in the position which would indicate that the position was no longer a valid comparable for the survey. Once it was ascertained that the comparables were still valid, necessary salary information was gathered, including current salary, date of last increase or future increase, and schedule of future salary reviews for each comparable position in the organization. In addition, each organization was requested to send a copy of the job specification for each comparable and an updated salary plan to the District as soon as possible. B. Salary Survey Data: The information gathered during the salary survey is reflected on the attached salary survey data sheets for the seven District positions surveyed and on the attached Table A entitled "Percentage Salary Increases for Surveyed Organizations" . Based on the data, salary increases in the ten comparable organizations surveyed range from 6% to 11% with an average of 8-9%, and with most organizations giving an across-the-board increase to their employees. At the writing of this report, two of the other organizations, the City of Sunnyvale and the East Bay Regional Park District, are still in the process of negotiating salary increases for the coming year with their respective employee associations and unions, and the City of Palo Alto will adjust salaries of its management employees in July. Additionally, the City of Hayward has not yet settled on police salaries (used as a comparable for the District ' s Ranger position) . R-80-29 Page Three C. Fringe Benefits: It should be noted that the District' s survey was focused primarily on information pertaining to salary increases and did not investigate in depth additional fringe benefits that employees in the comparable organi- zations may have received. No great changes were picked up, however. I feel that the salary survey for fiscal year 1981-82 should focus on benefits as well as on salaries, since the new fringe benefit plan for District employees that was recommended by Mr. Foss in his May report will have been implemented by that time. A full report to the Board on the implementation of this plan will, hopefully, be presented in the near future. However, it should be noted that the District has continued to maintain direct cost fringe benefits for its employees, and since June 1979, these costs have increased by 15%. D. Salary Changes : According to your policies, you would be considering four factors in making salary range changes, namely, the District' s salaries with respect to the ten surveyed groups, the President 's wage guidelines, current trends in the private sector, and the change in the cost of living. Each factor will be discussed in turn. In the following discussion, a technical distinction will be made between an increase of so many points for District salaries and an overall percentage increase. Because the District' s salary tables were developed in one percentage point increments, salary changes of 8, 9, and 10 points, for example, in the tables compound to 8. 3%, 9. 4%, and 10.5% overall, respectively. 1. Salary Survey Data: Table B shows the array of comparable salaries. The MROSD salaries have been shown as current salaries plus 9 points (my recommended increase) . When this array is compared with that from the November survey, it is found that the District's average position in that labor market would be maintained. Table C illustrates graphically where the District salaries would fall for increases in the range of 6 to 11 points (encompassing the percentage spread for the agencies surveyed) . I have reached the following conclusions from studying this data: (a) An increase of 8 to 10 points would keep average District salaries in the mid or above-mid range; 7 points would be a significant drop compared to the November survey; 11 points would be a substantial increase with respect to the comparable group. (b) As stated above, a 9 point increase would keep the District's position about the same. (c) A 10 point increase would put average District salaries in a better competitive position. R-80-29 Page Four It should be emphasized that the use of salaries in comparing positions is an art and not a science, since there is no perfect comparable for any position- Furthermore, the District 's salary structure takes into account various factors such as the relative importance, responsibility, and training needed for the jobs in each of the District 's programs, as well as comparisons of those jobs relative to the labor market. 2 . Presidential Guidelines : The President ' s wage guidelines allow up to 8.5% average salary increases, including merit and cost-of-living adjustments but excluding pro- motional increases. (This is a simplified way of ex- pressing the guidelines. ) These guidelines are not man- datory for public agencies. The federal government can, however, impose sanctions on federal contractors and apply pressures on non-contractors for exceeding the guidelines. Merit increases connected with annual performance evalu- ations for District employees range up to 5 points. If the President' s guidelines were strictly followed, salary range changes would, therefore, have to average considerably less than 8. 5%. 3. Private Sector Increases: Reliable data is very difficult to obtain on private sector wage increases. Table A shows that for the Western Management Group Survey the top of the average range increased by 7. 9% and 6% for their Secretary A and Administrative Assistant positions, re- spectively. Other direct information from Mr. Foss and from individuals knowledgeable about raises specific employers in this geographical area are granting (or that have been negotiated) generally indicate total increases in the 8% to 9% range, probably not including effects of promotions or reclassifications. 4. Cost of Living: The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the most commonly used measure of the change of the cost of living and was identified in the June 1979 Foss report as the measure to track. The Bay Area CPI for all Urban Con- sumers increased by 9.9% from October 1979 (the effective date of the last salary range increases) to April 1980. The change from October 1979 to July 1980 is projected at 12% to 14% depending upon whether an extrapolation of the data past April 1980 (the latest results) is calculated from the February 1980 to April 1980 rate of change or from the April 1979 to April 1980 average rate of change. The CPI calculation has come under re- newed attack, with the critics feeling that housing costs are overemphasized in the calculation and lead to over- estimates of CPI annual increases of 2% to 5% for the average consumer. It is a policy decision of the Board as to the relative importance of these four factors in setting wage scales. R-80-29 Page Five From my point of view as a manager trying to attract and retain a high quality, motivated staff to carry out District programs in your behalf, I would like to see salaries increased by at least 9% and preferably 10% . The former would pretty much hold the District' s present position with respect to the labor market, and the latter would strengthen it slightly. Further- more, even 10% does not keep pace with the estimated CPI changes, although the housing cost considerations would miti- gate the difference. It seems quite important to the merit increase concept in the new salary plan that the merit in- creases be real-dollar increases in order to reward employees in a way that is concretely realized in the additional items they can buy and enjoy. I recognize that you have to balance this consideration, with which I 'm sure you agree, with other factors, such as the Presidential guidelines and the current experience of your constituency in keeping up with the cost of living. Table D lists current salary ranges and what the new ranges would be assuming 8, 9, and 10 point across-the-board in- creases. The cost to the District for a 9 point increase would be about $37,000 for the 1980-81 fiscal year. E. Internal Relationships : As mentioned earlier, no changes were found in the Job specifications for either the com- parable positions or the District' s positions. Changes for the other agencies were predominantly across-the-board this year. You will remember that the November 1979 update included a fine tuning for the comparables that were used and for the appropriate internal relationships for District salary ranges, so it is not surprising that no further changes are now indicated. Although some fiddling with internal relationships could be attempted to fine tune the fine-tuning, a single change seems to affect everything else. It seems best to live with the plan for a year and see how jobs change or are projected to change rather than to make internal changes at this time. Therefore, I am recommending an across-the-board increase of 9 points. F. Effective Date: According to the policy that you adopted in June 1979, annual salary changes due to range changes would become effective annually at the start of the first pay period in August (August 4 this year) . This was recommended to you to allow sufficient time for implementation of changes through the County payroll system. Since the District has gone to a bank payroll service, changes can be made more readily and need not be effective at the start of a pay period. Moving the date to July 1 would reduce the lag time between the survey and implementation, and would exactly relate the salaries to the budget year. It would give employees raises a month earlier than anticipated, which for this coming fiscal year could be translated for a 9 point increase into an R-80-29 Page Six additional approximately 0.9% increase in total pay over what employees would have received with the August effective date. Recommendations: I recommend that you take the following actions : (1) Grant an across-the-board increase of 9 points in salary ranges of all General Manager appointees covered by the salary plan (see Table D) . (2) Modify your policy so as to implement salary changes corresponding to range changes on July 1 of each year, starting in 1980.

June 6, 1980 R-80-25 _.eeting 80-13 00 6/11/80 • Agenda Item No. 8 ) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT REPORT June 2 , 1980 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND REPARATION: S. Sessions, Land Manager, and C. DiGiovanni , Environmental Resource Planner SUBJECT: Proposed Land and Water Conservation Fund Application Discussion: The Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund program, as administered by the Department of Parks and Recreation of the State of California, is a major source of supplemental funding for local park agencies. Last year, the District submitted an application for a $35,000 matching grant for development of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve (report R-79-32, dated August 16 , 1979) . The project was not selected for fiscal year 1979/80 funding. Staff recommends that the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve project application be resubmitted in the same form this year, since competition for funds varies with each application period, and this is an excellent project under the criteria. A description of the project, which was contained in last year' s report, is as follows. Description of the Monte Bello Development Project This project proposes development of the 2 ,600 acre Monte Bello Open Space Preserve to improve accessibility and expand recrea- tional opportunities by providing a parking area, trails and restrooms (see attached map) . A Use and Management Plan for the Preserve, which includes development of the facilities pro- posed for the grant application, has been preliminarily adopted by the Board (report R-79-29 considered July 11, 1979) . Development of the Preserve would expand recreational oppor- tunities to include short, leisurely walks and strenuous hikes, R-80-25 Page Two equestrian trails and a self-guided nature trail. A nature interpretive program offering guided walks would be developed. A trail to a spectacular canyon overlook would be designed to serve the physically limited. The project also includes improvement of the newly designated backpack camp. When considered together with other adjacent public lands, development of the Preserve would open up further a 6 ,300 acre greenbelt which extends from Arastradero Road in Palo Alto to Saratoga Gap. The project's proximity to a State and an inter- state highway and its location only 20 minutes from a city center makes the Preserve regionally accessible from the entire Peninsula. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpenin- sula Regional Open Space District Approving the Application for Land and Water Conservation Funds - Monte Bello Open Space Preserve Development Project. The Land and Water Conservation Fund is a program whereby appli- cations from agencies throughout the State are considered for funding on a competitive basis. If an application is selected for funding, then a contract is entered into which commits the District to following through with the project as described in the application. RESOLUTION NO.
