Dear Friends,
This is by way of information ( not blame). Yesterday several of
us decided to explore the hiking trails at the Purisima Creek
site. We parked by the gate and enjoyed a great hike to the top.
However, when we came back one of our cars was broken into, window
smashed. This was between 11 am to 3pm. The vandals took a purse that
had been hidden. As you probably know, the first part of the
trail is used by local youths and is a mess — beer bottles, trash,
toilet paper. I don't know what can be done about it — we
certainly have been unpleasantly reminded to try to take the
usual trailhead precautions even though we are only several miles
from home.
Sincerely
r

Dear Ms . Fiant :
Thank you for your letter of April 14 regarding the vandalism
to your car at the Higgins-Purisima Creek Road entry to the
Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve on Sunday , April 13. We are
very sorry to hear of the destruction and theft that occurred.
Unfortunately, this area has had a history of troubles long be-
fore this incident occurred. I hope that you filed a police
report on the matter. In an attempt to help curb these problems ,
we have entered into a contract with the State Parks Department
to help us oversee the area out of their Half Moon Bay office.
They actually patrol and maintain the lower entry area to the
Purisima Preserve for the District. I am sending them a copy
of your letter and this reply for their information . Their
phone number is (415 ) 726-6238.
As a final note , we are designing a new parking area for the
lower Purisima Creek Preserve which will be more attractive and
secure. This should be complete within a year. Only by con-
sistent efforts by responsible Preserve users such as yourself
to report problems and District and State staff to change the
use patterns will we improve the image of this long abused area.
Please call me if you wish to discuss any of these matters i,n
greater detail .
Very truly yours ,

RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager;
D. Woods, Open Space Planner
SUBJECT: Crippled ChY |drenxs Society Agreement
Recommendation: | recommend that you approve the attached lease allowing the
Crippled Children«s Society of Santa Clara County, Inc. to construct riding �
ring facilities on a portion of the PicchmttY Ranch Area of the Monte Bello
Omen Soace Preserve adjacent to Camp Coatanoenaud authorize the President to
| sign it.
Introduction: At your July 35, 1984 Board Meeting you authorized a one year
lease to the Crippled ChY }6ren's Society of Santa Clara County to utilize a
portion of the PYcchatti Ranch Area for a riding ring. (See Memorandum M-84-66
dated July 19^ 1384 attached.) At that time you indicated an interest in �
entering into a more permanent lease with the Society to allow them to build �
and utilize more substantial structures on this Preserve for the riding ring. �
The ring would be utilized for their therapeutic riding programs" You
recently considered a letter dated March 13^ 1986 (attached) from the Society
�
. . �
regarding the proposed project and approved the attached response. �
Discussion: The implementation of o longer term lease was dependent on staff |
� completing the outside or Special Use Policies and the Board's adoption of |
� these policies. While policies have been drafted in rough form, they are not |
� yet refined enough for Board� perusal~ The Crippled ChYldrmnvy Society has been
looking for other |.areas to run their program but have had little success and
are now anxious to prepare for their summer program. | am recommending that
� we enter into a lease with the Crippled ChYldren/y Society now because they
� are willing to grant in return general public use of water and ,toilet facilities,
� and a certain amount of public use of the ring itself. They are also flexible �
/
| in allowing some changes or removal of the facility /f a trail route must pass
thrmuqh the area, and they are willing to indemnify the District for any
liability problem (except for negligence on the District's part) up to reaSonsabIm
limits.
The ring construction appears to be compatible with District design standards,
� and we are asking for design approval (see attached drawings) . A proposed
|
lease agreement has been worked out between District and Society staff, was
� approved in form by District Legal Counsel , and approved by the Society's
Board of Directors. �

Dear Ma-bers of the Board of Directors,
I am writing, once again, on behalf of Camp Costanoan regarding our
request to construct a riding ring. We have been waiting now since November
of 1984, for approval of this project. We do understand that District staff
have atte=ted to draft a policy for special use proposals, and that this has
been delayed. However, we are quite anxious to implement this project in time
for our summer program, which begins May 24. This project is made even more
urgent, and exciting, due to the fact that we will be contracting with All
Seasons Riding Academy, one of the foremast therapeutic riding programs for
the handicapped in the country, to provide a riding program for our children
this sumner! They believe it is vital to have a riding ring available
for the program, for reasons of safety and independence.
Please consider this a formal request for construction of a ring, as per
previous letters. Construction plans for the ring are attached. We would,
of course, bear all the expense for building and maintaining the ring, and
the District would be named as an insured under our insurance policy. Water
and toilet facilities are available near the site, and would be available to
the public. We would certainly be flexible and cooperative in any future
planning for trail use.
We have worked with District Staff, and believe that we can come up with
an equitable agreement. We will comply with any stipulations the District
may require. I urgently request that this matter be brought to your March 26
Board meeting, so that there would be sufficient time for an agreement to be
drawn up for approval at our April 21 Board meeting!
Sincerely,
Christine Fessler

MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
April 21, 1986
To: Board of Directors
From: Stan Norton, District Counsel
Subject: Eminent Domain Policies
When the Board considers adoption of the District' s
"Policies Regarding Use of Eminent Domain" at the April 23
meeting, I would ask that you consider two additional,
hopefully noncontroversial, provisions:
1. An addition to Section 6, "Road access for
ti trail purposes, " or a new section to be called "Perfection
of District' s title, " as follows (underscored) :
Notwithstanding any other provision of this
policy, the District may consider the use of
eminent domain to perfect rights in an existing
road for use for patrol purposes, and to perfect
title to any District property or District
interest therein.
Explanation. A matter has come up concerning a
recent acquisition- which makes it evident to me that the
District should retain the right to use eminent domain
to perfect title or clarify rights it already has or
claims in its properties.
2. An addition to the .gentence at the end of
Section 10, "Decisions of the Board, " as follows:
and upon the adoption of a resolution of necessity
(Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245. 220) it shall be
conclusively presumed that the Board has found such action
to be consistent with these policies.
Explanation. I want to eliminate any question as
to how it is to be determined that the Board has complied
with its adopted policies.
I will be pleased to elaborate further in closed
session if the Board wishes.

9 April 1986
To: Board of Directors
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District
From: Land Acquisition Policy Committee (Hanko,Bishop,Wendin)
Subject: Committee Report
Your committee met twice to develop language for your consideration vhich could
implement Director Hanko's proposed change in Section 1 of the pending policy on
use of eminent domain. This proposal vould restrict the use of eminent domain for
trails on improved,none subdividable property vithin clearly defined developed
communities (to be so designated in the District's Master Plan). The committee
takes no position on the merits of the suggested change.
The proposed amendment vould allov use of eminent domain for trails on these
kinds of property only if the trail vas vithin a scenic corridor or follows a route of
historic public use. Tvo different definitions of"scenic corridor" are presented.
The second provides for these to be designated as part of the District's planning
process,vhile the first vould depend on other agencies. No attempt is made to
define "historic public use". Such use would have to be demonstrated to the Board's
satisfaction during the public hearing process.
Your committee has also developed the enclosed uestionmaires on the issues
P q
relating to the Brown Act,the District's sphere of influence and annexation. Staff
can refresh your memories on any aspects of the lays governing these issues. As
vith the questionnaire on eminent domain,the nev questionnaires are intended to
give the Board,staff and the publican idea of the current thinking of individual
board members. After review of the responses and additional public discussion,ve
expect that your committee vill be able to prepare draft language for a policy. As
vith eminent domain,alternate language vould be developed vhere no clear
1 consensus has emerged.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO EMINENT DOMAIN POLICY
1. Improved property, not subdividable
Eminent Domain shall not be used to acquire all or any part
of an improved property that is not susceptible to further
subdivision, except as provided in Section 5 (Trails) below;
provided that clearly defined developed communities, which
are so designated in the District's Master Plan, shall not
be subject to the use of eminent domain except for any portion
of such property that lies within a scenic corridor or follows
a route of historic_ public use.
2. Unimproved property, not subdividable
Eminent Domain shall not be used to acquire all or any part of
an unimproved property that is not susceptible to further
subdivision if the property is in a clearly defined developed
community, which is so designated in the District' s Master
Plan, except as provided in Section 5 (Trails) below. Further,
until such time as the District has completed a revision of its
Master Plan and established a standard or standards which
identify such properties or categories of property that will
not be subject to eminent domain, all other unimproved property
not susceptible to further subdivision shall be subject to
eminent domain only when the Board has determined at a public

PROPOSED QUESTIONNAIRE REGARDING USE OF BROWN ACT
4/2/86
A. Brown Act Implementation
The California Brown Act requires that public notice be given identifying a
parcel prior to discussion of its acquisition in closed session. In answering
this questionnaire assume that any procedure we adopt is valid under the act
so long as the notice is reasonable. Also remember that this policy has
nothing to do with eminent domain; this subject is always proper in closed
session.
Please read the entire questionnaire before answering. Some questions may not
seem complete but there are supplementary questions further on. This was done
in an attempt to eliminate bias by the order and the way in which ideas are
presented. Please include any comments you may have for each section.

planning area?

Re: Criteria For Acceptable Trails across Developed Properties
I was asked to submit criteria for the placement of trails
across private properties , which may or may not be developed , by
the acquisition of in-fee title for a trail corridor.
The following is an attempt to bring criteria to your attention;
it is by no means all of the alternatives.
1 . Preference should be given to placing trail out of the
line-of-sight of occupied buildings.
2. Preference should be given to a minimum set-back of 500 feet
from occupied buildings with the stipulation that #1 above
is taken into consideration.
3 . Preference should be given to the placement of trails along
a perimeter boundary of the property.
4 . The minimum width of the trail corridor should be 20 feet
and the maximum 50 feet.
5 . Trail must have safeguards to prevent entrance by motorized
vehicles.
6 . Trail corridors must have ranger patrols at consistent inter-
vals.
7 . Agency should be required to sign the trail corridors with
private property signs at frequent intervals.
8 . Plantings of native shrubs/trees will be accomplished at the
desire of the private property owners consistent with the
surrounding vegetation and terrain.
9. Agency will not be required to fence the trail corridor
although private property owners could do so outside of the
trail corridor boundary.
10 . Trail corridor need not be a permanent location if a more
ideal site is acquired.
11. Value of the trail corridor will be appraised by a recognized
appraiser with the privilege of joint appraisals if agency and
owner agree to share costs. If not in agreement , agency can
proceed to appraisal and acquisition offer. If still not in
agreement, agency can proceed to acquire by legal means.

10:45 a.m. — 11:50 a.m. Microcomputers in Budgeting
The budget is basic in any District. Most budgets go through numerous revisions before being finally accepted, and several
more changes after that as the budget period unfolds. During budget preparation,most managers and Boards require several
estimates,usually with a number of"what if. ..?"questions.With a small computer,you can quickly change and model several
projected revenue and cost estimates,and other variables such as interest rates, inflation, cost of living, and more.The new
programs require a minimum of training and practice and can be used almost immediately by most persons familiar with budget
preparation. This seminar will cover:
Defining Budgets 0 Planning and Control * Types * Variable or Flexible o Zero Base 0 Short-term or
Long-term 9 Policies*Categories e Budget Line Items*Budget Input*Testing Decisions*Sensitivity
Analysis e Examples*
Glenn Reiter
12:00 noon — 1:00 p.m. Luncheon
1:00 p.m. — 4:50 p.m. The afternoon program will consist of a series of small group
demonstration-workshop sessions.
You will have an opportunity for hands-on practice with several different types of computers and software programs.You do not
need prior computer experience. Each workshop session will take approximately 45 minutes.
Using Electronic Spreadsheets in Budgeting In this session you will use electronic spreadsheet programs which
demonstrate how you can set up a spreadsheet custom fitted to your district budget format. You can insert or change any
variable and keep departmental budgets separately but link them with your overall District budget, allowing departmental
changes to be reflected in the District budget automatically.
Using Graphics in Financial Management This session will demonstrate how graphics programs can produce precisely
drawn and attractive pie charts,bar charts and line graphs from your financial data which can be displayed on a video tube or
printed out,either in black and white or color.Graphs can be recalled to change values or enter new ones.Built-in math functions
can perform various statistical analyses.
Cost and Cash Analysis&Control The use of small computers and software to analyze cost and cash flow,to aid decision
making,and to graphically display results will be demonstrated in this session. Examples dramatically illustrate the potential of
microcomputer-aided analysis for identifying,isolating and dealing with hidden and difficult to detect costs,and to manage cash.
Financial Databases Database management programs are the basis for an integrated financial management program.This
session will show how you can organize individual items of financial information into electronic files and records,and to add to or
delete from any file or record.You can reorder the information in almost anyway you can think of,and get the results out in a form
you can use.

SUBJECT: Request to Utilize Part of Picchetti Ranch Area for Riding Ring
Introduction: The Crippled Children's Society of Santa Clara County leases Camp
Costanoan in Stevens Creek County Park. The Society has been searching for an area
close to the camp to build and utilize a horseback riding ring as a part of their
therapy program. They have asked to use a small level site on the District's
Picchetti Ranch Area which is immediately adjacent to their camp. Staff has been
discussing this matter and touring the sites with Christine Fessler, Director of
Recreation and Respite Services for the Society over the past several months.
Discussion: Staff requested that the Society first exhaust all possibilities for use
of areas which might be found nearby on Santa Clara County park property (see attached
correspondence) , including the existing riding ring on adjacent County land about one-
half mile to the north of their camp. While the County was willing to allow this use
at the existing ring, the condition of the road and the long distance made this site
unfeasible. Other close-in sites were found inappropriate or unavailable.
The site on District property is a small , open, level area of about one-fourth acre
above the camp, covered with grass, some baccharis and star thistle (see -nap attached) .
An old trail/roadbed that has been used as a trail in the past and is included in
future District and County trail plans for the area passes directly through the site.
While no specific plans have been formulated for this site, any permanent structures
in the area could hinder planning for final alignment and use of this trail . For
this reason, staff is not willing to recommend the construction of any permanent
facilities as proposed by the attached architectural plans submitted by the Society.
The use of the ring would be basically an exclusive use, even though the Society has
agreed to allow public use. For this and other reasons, the proposal is subject to
your Procedure for Reviewing Special Use Proposals of MROSD Land and Facilities (copy
attached), and is thus before you for approval at this time.
Staff finds that use of the site as requested would be acceptable under the conditions
listed below. The Crippled Children s Society 9 has agreed to these conditions but
will probably be requesting a more long term or permanent use of the site.
Conditions:
1 lease e e period would be for one year and limited to a maximum of four horses at
any one time.
2) A temporary shelter and hitching rails could be constructed adjacent to the area
after approval of design and site location by District staff. These structures
would be removed at the end of the lease period.
M-84-66
3) Star thistle and other grasses could be cut on the site, but dust control measures
should be instigated as recommended by District staff.
4) Added liability insurance should be carried by the Society with the District nam,
as co-insured to the satisfaction of the District's insurance carriers.
5) The general public should continue to be allowed use of the area.
6) All costs and responsibilities for this facility would be borne by the Crippled
Children's Society.
7) Any efforts to secure a permanent location for the horse ring should be directed
toward County park property.
Recommendation: I recommend that you approve the attached lease and direct the Presi-
dent to execute the lease to allow the Crippled Children's Society of Santa Clara
County to utilize a portion of the Picchetti Ranch Area as a riding ring under the
terms and conditions outlined by staff in this report and the attached lease.

MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
Procedure for Reviewing Special
Use Proposals of MROSD Lands and
Facilities
Adopted by
Board of Directors
August 23, 1978
Definition of Special Uses
Routine uses of District property will be administered by the staff
under existing policy guidelines. The following Procedure will be
used for porcessing special proposals for uses of District proper"Itv
which would require Board approval. Such uses would include those in-
volving long-term District commitment, contracts or leases; an event or
series of events with special circumstances; concessionary or exclu-
sive uses; and uses involving fincncial or other commitments valued
at more than $3,500. Proposals may be initiated by Board, staff or
other party or parties both public and private.
Step 1 - Proposal Presented to Staff: (Initial response within 4 weeks)
At this point staff will generally identify specific issues that
should be addressed relative tothe proposal including possible need
for an environmental impact study. After one or more meetings be-
tween staff and the applicants, the proposal would either be:
a) dropped by mutual consent, not to be pursued further un-
less resubmitted;
b) referred by staff to the Board Use Review Committee; or
c) referred by staff directly to the full Board crith specific
action requested;
d) denied by staff, which may be appealed to the Board Use
Review Committee by the applicant.
Step 2 - Committee Review: (Initial response by Board Use Review
Committee within 4 weeks of referral)
The Committee will first determine whether to recommend that an ad
hoc committee be created by the Board. Proposals, once accepted for
consideration by the Board Use Review Committee or assigned to an
ad hoc committee, would be thoroughly explored with staff as to their
feasibility and identifying specific issues such as public benefit,
costs, liability, etc. The responsibility for responding to questions
raised by the committee and for providing factual background material
would generally be borne by the applicant. The first meeting of the
committee at which the proposal is considered shall be a publicly
noticed meeting. Thereafter all individuals and the press who have
over
Pa ti e
g 1
i
requested notice shall be informed of further meetings on the pro-
posal :hut public notice is not required. After consideration by
i
the cc-..sttee, the proposal, would either be:
a) dropped by mutual consent, not to be pursued further
unless. resubmitted;
b) referred to the full Board with specific action recommen-
ded; or
c) referred to full Board 'for discussion with no action
t
recommended; or
d
} denied b the. y committee, which may be appealed by the
applicant
p� to the full Board.
Steo 3 - Board Review
If referred to the full Board by staff or committee, the Board
would either:
a) accept the recommendation of staff or committee with
possible modifications, and if necessary amend the
Site Use and Management Plan to reflect the proposed
changes;
r--
b) refer the-proposal to an appropriate committee for furt.
study; or
c) upon a finding of sufficient urgency, act contrary to the
recommendation of staff or committee without referral
to the appropriate committee.

Dear Mr. Hansen:
At the request of the Crippled Children's Society of Santa Clara
County, I checked several sites about Camp Costanoan for use as ,
a horseback riding ring. It is my opinion that the area most
suitable for such a facility is a small, level clearing west
of the camp' s upper picnic area indicated on the enclosed map
by an "X" within a red circle.
This site is sufficiently level to permit construction of a
fifty foot by seventy-five foot riding ring, yet has enough
slope to provide for adequate drainage (to prevent a mudhole
from developing) .
In order to prevent the proposed riding ring from obstructing
the access road which bisects the site, the design provides
for two twelve foot wide gateways at opposite ends of the
enclosure which would remain open at all times, save when the
riding ring is actually in supervised use . Since the horses
are boarded elsewhere within the camp, there would be no pro-
vision for locking the gates.
The aesthetic-impact of the design would be minimized by
planting vines (Hahn's Ivy) so that in the future, the chain-
link fence would appear as a green wall rather than the all too
common (and unsightly) grey metal of an unadorned installation.
For the above reasons, and the obvios beneficial aspects of
a riding ring for the handicapped residents of Camp Costanoan,
I hope that you will seriously consider granting the use of
the aforementioned site for the purpose of a horseback riding
ring.
Sincerely yours,
W. 4)a4is L rsen

SUBJECT: Proposed Riding Ring
Dear Ms . Fessler:
Thank you 'for your letter of March 13 , 1986 regarding your proposal
to construct a riding ring on a portion of the Monte Bello Open
Space Preserve. Our Board of. Directors considered this letter at
our March 26 meeting.
We appreciate your patience in waiting until our policies for out-
side special use proposals have been approved by this Board. How-
ever, it appears that these policies will not be ready for Board
action for at least another two months .
Staff has indicated that due to your willingness to provide public
amenities , flexibility for future District trail planning needs ,
and occasional use of the facility proposed, they will be drafting
an agreement for District Board approval at our April 9, 1986
meeting. This should allow time for your Board 's approval on
April 21.
I suggest that you continue to work with our staff to complete
the draft agreement for our approval.
Very truly yours ,

Dear President Eschoo and Members of the Board
At our April 9 , 1986 Board meeting the Board of Directors of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District considered Supervisor
Nolan's proposed ordinance banning the sale and use of fireworks
in unincoporated areas of San Mateo County. The District already
has a ban against use of fireworks on District lands .
Our Board voted unanimously to support the ordinance. District
foothill preserves get a lot of use on the evening of July 4 for
viewing displays along the Bay plain, and our Rangers are out in
full force to protect. the safety of the public and of District
lands. July, of course , is a month of high fire hazard.fireworks is a regular, but lesser, g problem at other (Use hof
e
year. ) Because some members of the pubicwantto times
light
as well as to view them, the Rangers have a busy and sometimes
difficult time. Especially difficult are situations where the
incidents occur near the edge of District lands , and it is unclear
as to whether or not they occurred on or off District lands. It
would be. ve.ry helpful, therefore , if our Rangers could enforce,
and possibly cite under, both a County ordinance, which they are
empowered to do, and the District regulations.
We urge you to adopt the proposed ordinance.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Brandt:
Thank you for your recent letter expressing your interest in the Mt. Umunhum
area and concerns regarding inaccessibility of certain roads and trails. The
District's Board of Directors considered your letter at our April 9 meeting.
The District shares your enthusiastic interest and fully recognizes the unique
open space values of these lands.
Over the past few years, we have embarked on a program to acquire and preserve
as much of this area as possible. There is now a total of 2285 acres of open
space in the Mt. Umunhum Area of the Sierra Azul Preserve which now encompasses
properties extending from Hicks Road to the top of Mt. Umunhum. 1 have enclosed
a map showing you the District's lands and boundaries. As you can see, our
sphere of influence extends only to Loma Prieta, and from that area south we
have no jurisdiction or intent to acquire land. I would suggest you-contact
the County regarding lands and roads in that area.
The trail and road system on the Sierra Azul Preserve is being expanded as various
properties are acquired. In fact, .the most recent acquisition in progress, the
former Almaden Air Force Base, includes the addition of Mt. Umunhum Road which
will ensure public rights from Hicks Road to the top of the. mountain.
At this time, all of the trails and roads on the Preserve are open to the public
for hiking and riding. When the g acquisition
sitio n of the Air Base ro
M
property is complete,
t. Umunhum Road wi
ll also clearlybe accessible for public access as far as
the upper
pp gate near the structural facilities. The area immediately surrounding
the
h building
s will
1 be temporarily closed during a two year planning phase in
an attempt to minimize security problems.ms
Our planning process for the Mt. Umunhum Area will be underway by this fall
and we will be encouraging public involvement through a series of workshops
and hearings. We have added your name to our mailing list so that you will be
notified of these meetings, and we hope you will attend. We look forward to
your continued support in our endeavors to preserve this beautiful area for
the public enjoyment.

I. OVERVIEW
Since its creation in 1956, the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation
Department has established 31 separate regional parks encompassing over
36,000 acres. These regional parks provide a diversity of recreational
Opportunities in a�wide variety of settings, including examples of many of
Santa Clara County s finest natural areas.
The majority of these park lands have been purchased, some have been leased,
and.a small amount has been acquired through dedications.
Almost 2/3 of the existing regional park acreage has been added since the
passage of County Charter Measure "C" by county voters in 1972. Measure "C"
required that the County set aside a specified amount of money annually for
a ten year program of regional park acquisitor and development. This
assured source of funding made it possible for the County Parks and
Recreation Department to embark on an ambitious program to expand the
regional park system to meet the increasing recreational needs of Santa
Clara County's growing population.
The original ten year park acquisition and development program initiated
through the passage of Measure "C" was extended for five more years in 1978
when voters approved County Charter Measure "A". Measure "A" extended the
parks acquisition and development program through 1987 and modified the
funding formula to allow a portion of the revenues raised to be used for
park operation and maintenance.
As the expiration of Measure "A" approaches, the emphasis within the
regional parks program is shifting away ra mm a3or and acquisitions and
toward ma_k- g_exa�ting_C6unty_Rark lards rrt .Ge ac e . i Te an �3-t7n _-by the
public. The recently-adopted 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan of the County
Parks and Recreation Department provides a blueprint for regional parks
acquisition and development projects totalling over $40 million to
accomplish these objectives.

THE REGIONAL PARKS PLAN
A. ADOPTION OF THE REGIONAL, PARKS PLAN IN 1972
' The County's regional parks system has grown from a total of approximately
13,000 acres in 1972 to over 36,000 acres at present. The blueprint for the
growth that has occured during this period has been the regional park system
outlined in "A Plan of Regional Parks for Santa Clara County". This Plan
was adopted as an element of the County's General .Plan in 1972, and was
subsequently incorporated, with some modifications, into the "Regional
Parks, Trails, and Scenic Highways Plan" adopted as an element of the
General County's Ge
Y al P lan in 19
80.0.
B. THE "PLANNING FOR PARKS AND RECREATION" STUDY
Adoption of the "Plan of Regional Parks for Santa Clara County" in 1972 was
preceded by the "Planning for Parks and Recreation" Study, completed in
1971. This study, which included a survey of recreation demand and an
space existed in the county.
inventory of existing parks, concluded that a shortage of recreational open
Over 60 sites were evaluated and rated as
potential park areas. The study recommended the adoption of a 10-year park
acquisition and development program.
C. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE REGIONAL PARKS PLAN
The Regional Parks Plan, adopted in 1972, set forth the following goals for
the regional park system:
1) The utilization of the county's finest natural resources to meet park
and open space needs,
2) The provision of a balance oftypes of regional
geographic distribution, g parks in a balanced
3) An integrated park system with maximum continuity and a clear
relationship of elements - using scenic roads and trails as important
linkages in the system,
4) The use of parks to give form and livability to urban areas, and
5) The provision of recreation facilities for those activities most
needed by the people of the county.

D. GENERAL, DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The Regional Parks Plan is somewhat general in nature. It represents a
desirable ultimate pattern of regional parks toward which specific park
programs can be directed.
The regional park system proposed in the Regional Parks Plan envisioned a
necklace of regional parks in the foothills and Baylands around the urban
area. These parks would provide urban dwellers with recreational
opportunities to experience the diversity of Santa Clara County's natural
environments within a reasonable travel distance from the urban area.
The Plan also envisioned a network of streamside park chains along the major
streams which traverse the valley. The hiking, bicycling, and equestrian -
trails within these linear parks would provide recreatonal opportunities ~
within the urban area as well as links to the regional parks and open space
lands in the Baylands, foothills, and mountains.
Regional parks around water conservation reservoirs were also proposed to be
major components of the regional park system.
The Plan recognizes the need for neighborhood, community, and citywide
parks, but does not specifically show them, since the emphasis of the Plan
is on regional parks.
E. DISTINCTION BETWEEN SHORT- AND LONG-RANGE PROPOSALS IN THE PLAN
The Regional
nai Pa
rks Plan Lan ad
opted in 1972 distinguished between short- and
long-range park proposals. The short range proposals indicate park
acquisition and development projects that were felt to- be needed by 1982,
while the long range proposals indicate the desired ultimate pattern of
regional parks. The short range proposals that formed the basis for County
Charter Measure NC" are indicated below:

F. RESPONSIBILITIES FOR IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN
j Although the major
g � emphasis in the Regional Parks Plan was on regional parks
to be provided by the County, it was clearly intended that other local ,
state, and federal agencies would also be involved in the Plan's
implementation.
The Plan proposed, for example, that Congress create a national wildlife
refuge in the Baylands of Santa Clara County, and that the State of
California expand Henry Coe State Park.
It also included some city parks which by reason of their size, functions,
or locations were considered to be of regional significance (e.g. San Jose's
Alum Rock Park, Palo Alto's Foothill Park, Mountain View's Shoreline Park,
etc.).
In addition, various joint projects involving the County, the cities, and
other agencies (e.g. the Santa Clara Valley Water District) were proposed in
the Plan. Streamside park chains and trail systems passing through the
urban area were proposed for implementation in a variety of ways, including
actions by individual cities, the County, or the cities and the County
working together.

A. REVENUE SOURCES AND EXPENDITURE PURPOSES
Revenues for the Count ark sy
stem
Y em P currently
sources, including: Y come from several different
Property tax revenues (currently the park system's main revenue source)
Grants from state and federal agencies
Concession revenues (e.g. boat rentals at reservoir parks)
Fees (e.g. park admission fees, facility user fees)
Interest on funds on deposit
' County park funds are spent for either of three basic purposes:
Acquisition of park lands,
Development of park lands, and
Operation and maintenance of park lands.
B. PASSAGE OF MEASURE "C" IN 1972
Introduction
The rapid growth of the regional park system has been made possible by
acquisition and development funds provided by the Parks Charter Fund created
as a result of County Charter Measure "C" in 1972.
Purpose of Measure "C"
The purpose of Measure "C" was to expand and develop the County's system of
regional parks by providing an assured, adequate, and predictable source of
funds. In contrast to previous parks acquisition programs which were funded
through the passage of parks bond measures, Measure "C" established a
"pay-as-you-go" program, thus avoiding bond interest charges.
Basic Provisions
Measure "C" provided that each year for ten years, the County would set
aside for park acquisition and development purposes an amount equivalent to
that which would be raised by a property tax of 10 cents per $100 assessed
valuation.
The Charter measure provided that these monies were to be spent only for
parks acquisition and development, with a minimum of 50Z of the money to be
spent for acquisition. It provided no funding for park operation and
maintenance.
Although the funding formula estabiished, by Measure "C" was based upon
property tax calculations, the monies allocated for this purpose were not
required to come solely from property tax revenues (e.g. grants and other
revenue sources could also be included). Measure "C" did not increase
taxes; it simply required that a portion of existing tax monies be earmarked
for regional parks.
Approval by Voters
Measure "C" was approved by county voters in June of 1972 with a vote of
196,472 (63.7%) in favor and 111,746 (36.3%) against.
C. PASSAGE OF MEASURE "A" IN 1978
Purpose of Measure "A"
As new park lands were acquired and developed under Measure "C", the County
found it increasingly difficult to provide funds for the proper operation
and maintenance of these new park lands. The basic purpose of Measure "A"
was to recognize this problem by allowing a portion of the County parks
Charter funds to be used for operation and maintenance,(0&M)
Basic Provisions
Measure "A" authorized the Board of Supervisors to allocate up to 30% of
each year's County parks Charter monies for County park operation and
maintenance. Previously, Measure "C" funds could only be used for park
acquisition and development. _
Measure "A" also extended the County parks program 5 years beyond its
original 1982 expiration date and continued the requirement that a minimum
of 50% of the parks fund be used for acquisition.
Approval by Voters
Measure "A" was approved by county voters in November of 1978 by a vote of
239,825 (73.1%) in favor to 88,217 (26.9%) against.

A. AMOUNT OF REVENUE RAISED
Total Amount to Date
Between 1972 and June 30, 1984, over $71 million in Charter Fund revenues
were raised. Of this amount, $40,873,000 was spent on acquisition and
$13,555,000 was spent on development.
Total Amount Through End of Program
By the time the Charter Fund expires in June of 1987, a total of more than
$102 million in revenue will have been raised. . $53,455,042 and $33,576,865
will have been spent on acquisition and development, ,respectively. Park
operation and maintenance accounts for the remainder of the expenditures.
B. AMOUNT OF PARK LAND ACQUIRED
Over 23,000 acres of park lands have been acquired through purchase or lease
since Measure "C" went into effect in 1972. This figure includes new parks
and expansions of previously-existing parks.

C. PARK DEVELOPMENT ACCOMPLISHED
The majority of the charter funds which have been spent on park development
to date have been used to expand camping facilities, construct trails,
construct new parks, and make improvements to existing parks. Improvements
to existing parks include refurbishing park offices, improving/installing
roads, wells and irrigation systems, and improving access for the physically
handicapped.

;. V. THE 5-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN {CIP) FOR PARKS
r
A. GOALS OF THE 5-YEAR PLAN
The County's 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan for Parks was adopted by the
Board of Supervisors in June, 1985 with the following goals:
1) Upgrading existing park facilities to minimize future maintenance and
operation expenses,
2) Acquiring lands to enhance existing parks and "round out" the
boundaries,
3) Developing projects which will increase the public use of parks,
generate increased revenue, reduce safety.hazards, and minimize
operational costs,
4) Providing infrastructure to make the parks more usable,
5) Linking and improving park and trail access, and
6) Participating in joint projects with cities.
The Capital Improvement Plan assumes that' a fund balance and continuing
interest earnings will be available after Measure "A" expires in June, 1987.
B. AMOUNT TO BE EXPENDED
The 5-Year Plan identifies acquisition and development projects totaling
over $40 million between FY 84/85 and FY 88/89.
C. PROPOSED
P 0 OSED PROJECTS
Acquisition n
The acquisition projects proposed in the 5-Year Plan are relatively modest
in size. None of the projects entail land purchases in excess of 200 acres.
The emphasis on the acquisitions proposed in the 5-Year Plan is on acquiring
smaller, strategically-located parcels which will "round out" County park
boundaries or link County parks with one another or with other nearby
publicly-owned parks and open space lands.
These acquisitions will have to occur as "opportunity purchases"from
willing sellers, since it is the policy of the Board of Supervisors not to
exercise the County's power of eminent domain to acquire lands through
condemnation for County parks purposes.

Development
Proposed development projects to improve accessibility and usability -of
County parks are varied. They include the improvement or installation of
access roads, parking facilities, restrooms and shower facilities,
irrigation systems, landscaping, and fencing.
D. OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE (O&r4) COSTS
Park operations include facilities planning and personnel management. Park
maintenance includes such activities as maintaining park buildings and
facilities, keeping trails open, maintaining landscaping, collecting
ar e
gba g and controlling
litte
r.
er.
In 1985, the County Parks and Recreation Department had a permanent staff of
85 people, compared to a staff of 79 in 1972 when Charter Measure "C" was
adopted and the major expansion of the regional park system began.
Permanent staff levels are augmented by temporary, seasonal staff.
The costs of operating and maintaining the County"s system of regional parks
was $4.4 million in FY 84/85 and $4.7 million in FY 85/86. The current
level of funding for operations and maintenance is determined primarily by
the provision in Charter Measure "A" which states that no more than 30% of
the funds set aside for regional parks purposes under Measure "A" can be
spent for operations and maintenance.
As more of the existing parklands are developed and the use of County parks
increases, it is likely that the costs of operating and maintaining County
parks will increase. At the present time, however, there are no specific
estimates available regarding potential future OW costs.

VI. WHAT REMAINS TO BE DONE TO COMPLETE THE REGIONAL PARK SYSTEM
PROPOSED IN THE 1972 PLAN F REGIONAL PA S?
A. SHORT RANGE PROPOSALS
Most of the short-range projects proposed in the 1972 Plan that were to
occur by 1982 have been accomplished. In some instances more land has been
acquired than was originally proposed to be purchased, in some instances
less. In additio
n, some major purchases not included in the 1972 Plan have
occurred as a result of unforesee
n opportunities
ies
pPortu which arose.
The park land acquisitions originally proposed in the ten-year regional
parks acquisition and development program totalled 7,950 acres. The actual
amount of park land acquired to date is approximately, 23,000 acres.
IMPLEMENTATION OF MEASURE 'C' SHORT RANGE ACQUISITION PROPOSALS
The table below compares the amount of land originally proposed to be acquired in
conjunction with Measure 'C' and the actual amount acquired.

B. LONG RANGE PROPOSALS
Establishment of New Parks ")
The core lands for most of the regional parks proposed in the 1972 Plan of
Regional Parks have already been acquired. Implementation of the following
long range proposals, however has not occured:
San Antonio Valley Park (remote Diablo Range),
San Felipe Valley Park (in the Diablo Range just south of Grant Ranch),
Castro Valley Park (in the Santa Cruz Mountains, west of Gilro
Hidden Valley Park (in the Santa Cruz Mountains s near Los Altos
l os Hills),
Shoreline Park (the salt ponds north of Mountain View's' Shoreline
Park),
Pacheco Creek Streamside Park (in the Pacheco Pass area of South
County),
Pajaro River Streamside Park (in the South County along the Santa
Clara/San Benito County line),
North Fork Pacheco Reservoir Park
Pacheco Reservoir Park (in the southern part of the Diablo Range)*
Canada de los Osos Reservoir Park (in the southern part of the Diablo
Range)*
. Bear Creek Redwoods Park (proposed State park in Santa Cruz Mountains
near Los Gatos).
Expansion of Existing Parks
The 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) allocates over $17 million for
park expansion. This money has not been allocated for large land
acquisitions, but rather for opportunity purchases of properties which will
"round out" existing park boundaries or will make existing County parks more
accessible and usable by linking them with one another or with other nearby
publicly-owned parks and open space lands.
The funds in the CIP for expansion of existing parks will complete most of
the expansions of existing parks proposed in the Regional Parks Plan, with
the possible exception of the following proposals shown on the Plan:
Santa Teresa County Park (expansion northward along the ridge)
Sanborn County Park (expansion northward to Highway 9)
Streamside Park Chains in the South County:
Llagas Creek Park Chain
Uvas Creek Park Chain
* Proposals dependent upon whether the reservoirs involved are ever
constructed
12
In addition, it is not known whether there are sufficient funds in the CIP
to complete the major linear parks and trails proposed in the North County
along streamsides (e.g.'Guadalupe River,*Coyote Creek
,-Los Gatos Creek) and
the Baylands area. This uncertainty stems, in part, from the lack of
specific implementation plans and programs for some of these proposed linear
parks/trail systems. It also stems from unresolved Issues regarding the
County implementation responsibilities for these proposals viz-a-viz those
of the cities and other agencies.
Development of Existing Parks
The 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan allocates over $30 million for park
development. Park development includes the improvement or installation of
irrigation systems, landscaping, access roads, parking facilities, restrooms
and shower facilities, and fencing.

APPENDIX
County Budget Fund Accounts -
Within the County budget, money for the County Parks and Recreation De artment
come from two different fund accounts: The County Parks Charter Fund and the
General Fund.
