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 Elena Fiant Draft response dA, MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT 375 DISTEL CIRCLE,SUITE D-11,LOS ALTOS,CALIFORNIA 94022 (415)965-4717 Ms . Elena Fiant Half Moon Bay Library 620 Correas Street Half Moon Bay , CA 94019 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 , David Wm.

Grench, General Manager � 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. � | � � � � � � | I LEASE AGREEMENT I This Agreement is made this day of , 1986 by and between the MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT, a public district under the laws of the.

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!

CRIPPLED CHILDREN 'S SOCIETY SPACE DISTRICTOF SANTA CLARA COUNTY President, Board of Dire tors Exec tive director Dated: 1-t-( -,7,3 Dated: / Attest: Di rict Clerk r APPROVED AS TO FORM: District CoIkTsel I' i ct l 1 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. I R-86-27 { (Meeting 86-10 April 23 , 1986) 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. i Also enclosed is a memoradum prepared by Tony Look on Criteria for Acceptable I Trails across Developed Properties. Your committee (and Tony)concluded that the points raised are consistent vith the proposed policy in Section 5 and no change is 1 required. 1 i �I 4/4/86 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 hearing that the property is clearly threatened by development or degradation of natural resources, except as provided in Section 5 (Trails) below. 9 .

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. Shall the District retain a list of property owners within the acquisition planning area? n n Comments: yes no 2.

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. Submitted: April 2 ,1986 Claude A.

Special District Budq and Financial Manag vent Using Small Computers TUESDAY, JUNE 109 1986 9:00 a.m. — 10:30 a.m. Micrcomputers in Financial Management Inexpensive and easy-to-use computer programs have become available which the financial manager can use for planning and decision making without being a computer expert.The purpose of this presentation is to discuss how qomputers may be used in financial management,clarify some of the terms used,look at some financial applications,and evaluate the use of small computers in Special Districts financial management.Topics include: The Financial Planning Process 0 The Management Process o Decision Making 9 Developing the Plan 0 Forecasting*Modeling*Testing e Small Computer Choices and Uses:Micros,Minis,Personal,Desktop, Laptop, Handheld, Portable 0 Some Management Considerations 9 Differences Between Computers 0 Conventional Computer Applications* Installation 0 Software 0 Identifying Needs e Glenn Reiter Stan Mills 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.

Britton, Assistant General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager; D. Woods, Open Space Planner; M. Gundert, Associate Open Space Planner 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. 1, �I+ 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. I . 1 ,y 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. 2 w 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: SNORT RANGE PARK PROPOSALS:- ACOUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT NEEDED BY 1982 . �n+V.iles foil icse.uoiiiae .' • �TeT x�g � �g PROJECT AREA •Te At eMlew;wf a KOwNR InSIIrO♦.wA UA1[L7 RYY.fw r{ a E y _i.ALWSO MARINA - � • _..-, �� 3����j$� i (L' � J 2.

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. 4 III. FUNDING FOR REGIONAL PARKS 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.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS WITH MEASURES "C" AND "A" FUNDS 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.

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. ica ed GRO TH-0E COUNTY PARK SYSTEM -SINCE 1970 T 0 40000 r A 30000 L A 20000 C R 10000 E /f/ S 0 i 1970 1975 1980 1985 YEAR L ;. 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. 9 i I t y 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. s ' 10 X , 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.

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. 13 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. Funds for acquisition and development come from the County Parks Charter Fund, whereas funds for operation and maintenance come primarily from the County Parks Charter Fund.
