E. Shelley seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Discussion: T. Kavanaugh protested that the sale of bonds violates Proposi- tion 13 by creating a new tax, and security for the bonds should be the property purchased rather than liens against all property within the District. R. Bishop replied the Board had been advised the transaction is legal . Motion: E. Shelley moved the adoption of Resolution 82-57, a Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Approving, Authorizing and Directing the Execution of an Agreement with First Inter- state Bank of California. N. Hanko seconded the motion. Discussion: H. Grench said the agreement distributed to the Board needs to be changed. S.

With E. Shelley and H. Turner abstaining from the vote, the motion passed unanimously. H. Turner stated he had been advised to abstain from the vote because of his association with Stanford University and was doing so reluctantly since he continued to feel he had no conflict of interest in the matter.

Woods reviewed the proposed revised Plan for Relative Emphasis of District Sites and the proposed use and management plan review schedule as set forth in report R-82-48, dated November 30, 1982.

D. Woods noted the El Sereno Open Space brochure could be altered and some signing installed to alert Preserve visitors of the parking situation. Motion to Amend: N. Hanko moved to amend the motion to include the review of the El Sereno Open Space Preserve during 1983. K. Duffy seconded the motion. Discussion: H. Grench noted the inclusion of a review of the El Sereno Open Space Preserve in the 1983 Use and Management Plan Review Schedule would probably dictate moving one of the preserves scheduled for a 1983 review into 1984. The motion to amend passed on the following vote: AYES: K. Duffy, B. Green, N. Hanko, and H. Turner. NOES: E. Shelley and R. Bishop. Motion to Amend: . N.

I or unable to be present at the January 19 meeting so am setting down some firther thoughts for your consideration. l.. I would like to command your staff for an excellent report (the December 10 memorandum) . 2. While I realize that all your constituents must be heard, I was surpr&sed that the meeting of December 15 was so overwhelm- ingly attended by dog training groups. This facet of dog owner use of District lands does indeF=d need to be considered by you, even though it may represent a minority of your constituents. I would suggest you try setting aside a special area for such dog training, an area currently little used by hikers, on a per- mit basis. Because issuance of permits and policing thereof re- quires special staff time , a modest fee should be charged for these permits. 3. The Site Evaluation Chart in the staff report is carefully made, and the Dog compatibility rating c6etainly represents the findings for each of the preserves. I believe, however, that there are some parts of the preserves that are more suitable for dog walking then others. For example, Windy Hill and MonteBello pre- serves rate low on the summary; However, large parts of these two preserves are grasslands with little shelter for wildlife; there- for these parts could be suitable for dog use. 4. 1 propose that you establish a test program of one year in selected portions of some preserves for dog walking and exercise such areas as the grasslands I mentioned above and other areas as recommended by your rangers) * Also, a special dog-training area could be established on a test basis (see no. 2 above) . All walking of dogs ddring this test period could be subject to permits issued by the District office--a sort of license available by mail to be carried by dog owners--to defray costs of administration. If this program is successful, a review of the permit fee could be-made. Such details as leashing and areas where dogs are permitted should be sukjsct to your rangers' recommendation. I appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Dog Committee Dilemma. Yours sincerely, (Mrs. )/ Elizabeth S.

Mid-Peninsula Regional Open Space District 375 Distel Circle Los Altos, CA 94022 i To Whom It May Concern: This letter is to address the proposed change of policy which would allow leashed dogs into the Open Space District. It is our hope that the Board will rule against this change. Volunteers from Wildlife Rescue, Inc. work regularly in conjunction with the rangers of the Open Space District whenever the rescue of a native wild animal is necessary. The District additionally provides an excellent site for release back into the wild of native rehabi- litated wildlife. The District is an ideal place due, in part, to the absence of dogs and the strict control of vehicular traffic . It is our feeling that the admission of dogs into the District would tend to disturb many forms of wildlife in their natural habitat and is not consistent with policies of ecological preservation. Further, on a practical basis, we fear that dog owners may not obey the leash requirement. While we appreciate companionable exercise with domestic animals , we hope that the Open Space District will continue its policies of careful and thoughtful open space preservation.

Pursuant to the District Securities Investigation Law of 1965 (Government Code, Sections 58750-58761) , this is to inform you and the Board of Directors that the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, 1982 Nego- tiable Promissory Notes , proposed to be issued by the District in the amount of $6 ,000,000 are not subject to prior investigation, report, and approval by the State Treasurer.

With increasing urbanization and incorporation of remaining open space into parkland, there are few places left in the South Bay where dogs and people may enjoy an outing together. I see this as a significant problem, as dogs are important members of many families which, having adopted them, have a responsibility for their well-being. Dogs , as well as people, need breaks from life r in the house or apartment. As an ardent defender of wildlife, I appreciate the problems caused by dogs running loose in our parks. I do not feel, however, that excluding all dogs is an equitable or even an effective solution. Strays will be a problem whether dogs under responsible control are prohibited or not. Also, there is little evidence that wildlife is more adversely affected by the scent or sound of domestic animals than it is by the corresponding indicators of human presence. It is the policy of the East Bay Regional Parks that dogs be on a leash in picnic areas and under physical or voice control on trails. I urge that you consider this policy for the M.R.O.S.D. parks as well. Regretfully, I am unable to attend the meeting of the Dog Committee on the evening of December 15 , but I am most, interested in this issue and would be pleased to discuss it with the committee at some future date or to help in any way to formulate a reasonable and fair policy for dogs in the Midpeninsula Parks.

It shows real appreciation for the job you are doin- for all of us to protect our precious open space. Now, a matter is being considered which interests me and that is whether dogs shall be allowed in our district open space areas. I feel they should not be. They have plenty o other open areas to visit and their `;abits and presence dtract from the quietness, serenity and concept of open space. I love my dogs, but I don't enjoy some of the things they do such as: making messes on my paths, (even tho trained not to. They are getting old and careless.) They chase and bark loudly at other little animals who have an equal right to exist in peace. Ky dogs chase whatever they see moving, stirring up a cloud of dust. They dig holes and disturb -round ani- mal homes, I've noticed. iilso some peoples' dogs (not mine) aren't friendly; or are too friendly! I feel open space is a very special protected environment for people who seek quietness and to enjoy what is there--not the troublesomeness of what dogs can bring to it. I hope you may agree with me. Very s.ncerely yours, Lois Crozier Hogle P.S. Please don't tell my dogs about this letter. I love them but want them to go only where approj:riate.

Hansen, Land Manager; D. Woods, Open Space Planner SUBJECT: Final Adoption of the Relative Site Emphasis Plan Review Schedule Introduction: The Annual Review of the Relative Site Emphasis Plan and Use and Management Plan Review Schedule was presented to you on December 8, 1982 (see report R-82-48 , dated November 30, 1982) . At that meeting minor revisions were indicated, and both items received tentative adoption. Discussion: The revisions discussed were as follows: 1) Changing the special signing designation to D/*A for the Monte Bello Preserve. The "D" indicates that the current planned signing for the site is expected to be completed in FY 82-83 . In addition, though, staff foresees more special signing being recommended in the next review of the use and management plan, thereby requiring funds to be allocated in FY 83-84. 2) Changing the planning priority designation to "C" for the El Sereno Preserve. This was suggested to accelerate use and management planning efforts in response to the issue raised concerning adequate and safe parking. 3) Adding the El Sereno Preserve and possibly dropping another preserve or preserves from the 1983 Use and Management Plan Review Schedule. The revised 1983 schedule is attached, indicating two changes : the inclusion of the El Sereno and Costanoan Way Preserves and the deferment of Stevens Creek Shoreline Nature Study Area. No further continents have been received on the report since your December 8, 1982 meeting. Recommendation: I recommend that you adopt the revised Relative Site Emphasis Plan and 1983 Use and Management Plan Review Schedule as contained herein.

Gundert, Associate Open Space Planner SUBJECT: Final Adoption of Interim Use and Management Plan for the Recent Addition to Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve (Robin Property) Discussion: At your December 8, 1982 meeting you approved the acquisition of the former Robin property as an addition to the Limekiln Canyon Area of Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve (see report R-82-47 , dated December 2, 1982) . You also approved withholding the property from dedication at that time and tentatively adopted the interim use and management recommendations contained in the report. Final approval of the interim use and management recommendations and naming the property an addition to the Limekiln Canyon Area of Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve was deferred until your January 12, 1983 meeting to allow time for public comment. To date, staff has received no public comment. Recommendation: I recommend you approve the interim use and management plan, including the name for the property, as contained in report R-82-47 for the addition of the former Robin property to the Limekiln Canyon Area of the Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve. I R-83-2 (Meeting 83-1 AL. AA, January 12 , 1983) WL MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT REPORT January 7 , 1983 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager PREPARED BY: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager SUBJECT: Proposed Addition to Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve (Lands of Crist - Exercise of Option) Background: In 1981, you took the following three separate actions to acquire lands owned by the Crist Family adjacent to Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve: 1) October 28, 1981 (report R-81-46 , dated October 23 , 1981) you approved the purchase of a 120-acre parcel off Alpine Road (parcel I on the attached map) . 2) At the same meeting, you approved a lease-option agreement for a 92-acre parcel west of the then existing Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve (parcel II on the attached map) . 3) December 16 , 1981 (report R-81-50 , dated December 10 , 1981) you accepted a gift of the remaining 40-acre parcel off Alpine Road (parcel III on the attached map) . Parcel 1 (120 acres) and Parcel 111 (40 acres) were withheld from dedication pending the outcome of your decision on the exercise of option for parcel 11 (92 acres) . Discussion: The period for exercise of the option for parcel II is the month of January, 1983 . This parcel of land is an integral portion of the District' s Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve and was included in the annexation that you approved on November 10 , 1982 . In addition to being a critical part of the preserve, portions of the existing (and probably the ultimate) trails system pass through this area. Use and Management: Assuming this property is approved for purchase, the following interim use and management recommendations from the original report would continue to apply: 1) Preserve boundary plaques will be placed where appropriate. 2) The existing trail will be repaired as needed. 3) The existing grazing lease will be continued pending the management review of the entire preserve, currently scheduled for August, 1983. R-83-2 Page 2 Dedication: I recommend that this parcel and the adjoining 120 and 40 acre parcels to the south be dedicated. These parcels were withheld from dedication pending the final decision on this lease-option parcel. Name: I recommend that this parcel become an addition to Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. Terms: The purchase of this parcel under the terms of the Option requires a full purchase price of $260 ,000 for the 102 . 2 acres being acquired (shown as 92 acres in the original report) , or $2 ,544 per acre. The purchase would necessitate a down payment of $50,000 from the New Land Commitments budget category (1982 Negotiable Promissary Note Funds) , with the balance of $210 ,000 payable over six years at 8% per annum. Recommendation: I recommend that you approve the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Authorizing Exercise of Option By Acceptance of Agreement to Purchase Real Property, Authorizing Officer to Execute Certificate of Acceptance of Grant to District, and Authorizing General Manager to Execute Any and All Other Documents Necessary or Appropriate to Closing of the Transaction (Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve - Crist Property) . I further recommend that you dedicate this property as open space., as well as dedicate the adjoining 120 and 40 acre parcels formerly owned by the Crists , name the site as an addition to the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve, and reaffirm the interim use and management recommendations included herein.

Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager; A. Watt, Environmental Analyst SUBJECT: Demonstration Burn for the Chaparral Management Program Background: In the winter of 1981 the first phase of a prescribed burn was completed on the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve under an Urban Forestry Grant, utilizing a plan prepared by consultant Jason Greenlee. Since the time of that successful burn, District staff has been pursuing funding sources to complete Phase Two of the plan. One potential program being pursued has been the California Depart- ment of Forestry's "Chaparral Management Program" , utilizing heli- torch burning in older stands of chaparral to aid in wildfire pro- tection and watershed and wildlife enhancement. Much of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve was outside the State Responsibility Area (S.R.A. ) , where the Chaparral Management Program was authorized. Through District efforts, SB 1680, which was introduced by Senators Alq_uist and Keene and subsequently became law, now also allows C.D.F. to do controlled burning on public or private lands adjacent to an S.R.A. if fuel accumulation there would threaten the S.R.A. This is the case on the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. Discussion: While staff is in the process of submitting an application to the State for the Chaparral Management Program on a long term District project, C.D.F. is willing to complete a demonstration burn on an area near the summit of Black Mountain, as shown on the attached map, which was not included in the original Greenlee plan. C.D.F. feels a wildfire in this area would pose the most immediate threat to the adjoining S.R.A. lands and to private residential areas in the canyon below. The long term objective would be to construct a better fuel break on the ridge and give long term protection to all wild- lands in the area. C.D.F. is also willing to complete the demon- stration as soon as possible, and has suggested a date of January 17 for burning. The C.E. .A. requirements for the project would be g P 7 completed by C.D.F. with District assistance, and written permission for the burn is forthcoming from the Palo Alto Fire Department, which has jurisdiction over the area. Hidden Villa, Inc. , Kaiser, and the Black Mountain antennae lessees have been notified of the demonstration. Public notification will be carried out by the District as soon as a firm burn date is settled. The total area of the demonstration burn has not yet been determined, although it is not expected to exceed more than 2-3 acres. I_ M-83-8 Page two Recommendation: I recommend that you approve the request from the California Department of Forestry and staff to allow a demonstration helitorch burn under the State ' s "Chaparral Management Program" to be carried out in the immediate vicinity of the Black Mountain summit on the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve when C.E.Q.A. and local fire agency jurisdiction requirements have been satisfied and immediate site neighbors have been informed. � � j�f �• a � YB � � � ll� /� r��./��r� 1 A j ../`�— � �°• roc�,-w��, . !!i ry• ti STATE JURISDICTION - e (State Responsibility Area) o ` COMPLETED BURN ARE r 1981) A !{ r (Winte `` Demonstration Q , .�. .•�,:.; •�'�:� :�''•• �. �-�•� Bur-n Area \ �_ � ' ° f ,:S`r i'�' +. �'i':r':...• / _ j tee, `_. �, ." i.'1�nO5e+r'.

Gundert, Associate Open Space Planner i SUBJECT: Dedication Status of District Lands Introduction: In accordance with the Board' s adopted Dedicated Lands Policy (see memorandum M-79-146 , dated November 21 , 1979) , an annual report indicating the status of District lands as dedicated or un- dedicated public open space is to be presented to you in January of each year. The dedication status of District lands was last presented to you at your January 13 , 1982 meeting (see report R-82-01 , dated December 28 , 1981) . The Dedicated Lands Policy states: "Normally, undedicated lands within the District ' s boundaries will be held for future dedication to park or open space purposes, only after the necessary planning, boundary adjustments, provision for permanent access and other changes in configuration, which may involve the disposal or exchange of all or portions of such lands , have been completed. " Throughout the year the individual undedicated parcels are reviewed as part of the use and management planning process, and any change in dedication status occurs at that time. Discussion: The attached table categorizes the dedication status of all District lands by preserve and planning area (as amended in the Revisions to the Open Space Use and Management Planning Process Report, memorandum M-82-62 , dated June 16 , 1982) . In 1982 , 1991 acres of land were acquired, an increase of approximately 17% . In addition, 207 acres of land which were in a "purchase pending" status at the time of the last dedication status report have since closed escrow. The 102 acre Crist parcel, which is a pending purchase, has been included in the table, bringing the total acreage count owned by the District to 12 ,865 . Of the total, 20% or 2571 acres, is in the undedicated status, while the remaining 80%, or 10 ,294 acres, is dedicated public open space. It is also of interest to note three new preserves--Coal Creek, Whittemore Gulch Redwoods, and Skyline Ridge--were added to the District list of dedicated preserves in 1982. R-83-1 Page two In addition to the lands held in fee by the District are 767 acres of land in the form of open space easements and four road/trail easements. Additions within 1982 consist of 245 acres of easements and two road/trail easements. Parcels of land which are currently undedicated should be reviewed for a status change at the time of use and management plan review. Two parcels (formerly the Crist parcels) , were originally withheld from dedication at the time of acquisition since they were non- contiguous with the Preserve. Acquisition of the adjacent 102 acre Crist property will be presented to you for consideration on January 12, 1983 . If approved, this acquisition would connect the entire Preserve and enable dedication of the formerly non-contiguous parcels . A third parcel probably to be recommended for a status change is the 21 acre former P.M. and Associates parcel. At the time of acquisition, the property was withheld from dedication until such time as the seller made a commitment to retain the adjacent 2 acre parcel. Since the seller has decided to retain the 2 acre parcel with the transfer of development rights from the 21 acre parcel, the 21 acre parcel will probably be recommended for dedication at the time of use and management review. Finally, the parcel (actually several parcels) purchased from Bridgeman as part of the Long Ridge Open Space Preserve could be considered for dedication. Recommendation: I recommend that you review and accept the attached report on the dedication status of District lands . DEDICATION STATUS OF OPEN SPACE MMS Approx. Approx.

Grench, General Manager PREPARED BY: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager SUBJECT: Consent to Transfer Promissory Note - Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve Discussion: On January 27 , 1982 you approved the purchase of the Skyline Ranch Property (see report R-82-6 dated January 21, 1982) . As a part of that acquisition, the sellers, Skyline Ranch, Inc. , financed $1,500 ,000 of the purchase price by accepting a secured promissory note for a five-year term at 8% interest. The purchase agreement requires that the District consent to any transfer of the beneficial interest in that note. The corporation is now being dissolved, and because of the number of shareholders, a liquidating trust is being created to accept the District' s note payments for redistribution to the shareholders (there are 37 ,304 shares outstanding with in excess of 40 share- holders) . It is in the District 's best interest to have these notes transferred to the liquidating trust. Please refer to the attached letter from the Counsel for Skyline Ranch, Inc. Recommendation: I recommend that you consent to the transfer of the Note and Deed of Trust by Skyline Ranch, Inc. and authorize the President of the Board to sign the form of consent.

As you can see from the shareholder listing on Exhibit A to the Trust Agreement, there are a large number of shareholders of the Corporation and it would be totally impractical ractical to transfer the Note and Deed of Trust directly to such individuals. Therefore, we are creating a liquidating trust (with George Duff and Joe Wasserman as the Co-Trustees) , which by its terms gives the Trustees all powers necessary to receive payments under the Note and Deed of Trust and to fulfill all obligations of the Corporation under the Note and Deed of Trust. Please give me a call if you have any questions or comments whatsoever and, if you think it appropriate for any reason, I will be happy to come the meeting on Wednesday, January 12.

Grench, General Manager CONTRIBUTORS: C. Britton, C. MacDonald, D. Hansen, J. Fiddes SUBJECT: Program Evaluation for 1982-83 and Setting of Priorities r for 1983-84 Introduction: The purpose of the Program Evaluation on January 12 is (1) to review progress since July 1 on the key projects and activities, as stated in the 1982-1983 Action Plan, for each of the District' s programs and subprograms, and (2) to present for your consideration proposed objectives, as well as key projects and activities, for each of the programs and subprograms as the basis for the draft 1983-1984 Action Plan. The evaluation materials for the various programs and subprograms are attached. Program evaluation and setting of priorities is one part of an overall system which is summarized in the following chart (dates are approxi- mate) JANUARY Evaluate progress with respect to goals for 1st half of fiscal year. Adopt new tentative priorities for next .fiscal year. MARCH Adopt tentative Action Plan for new fiscal year. - - - - - - - - - - March-June Budget JUKE Ccirmittee meets Adopt Action Plan and budget for new fiscal year. AUGUST Review progress with respect to goals for prior fiscal year. Open Space Acquisiti Program. The general focus of the Open Space Acquisition Program for the 1983-84 fiscal year is the continuing effort to secure an urban green- belt in the Midpeninsula foothills and baylands. The additional funds available as a result of the 1982 note issue necessitate - an increasingly energetic acquisition program. The Land Analysis Subprogram is being eliminated, as the projects and tasks are more appropriately added to the subprograms that are directly benefited (Negotiations and Special Projects) . The two "backlog" projects remain, and completion of both is anticipated by the end of the coming fiscal year. The Enterprise Sub. program focus has been shifted from a proactive direction for new agri- cultural uses, to a more land management based process. This shift is In line with the clarification- of Board policy- relating to structures and agricultural uses on District lands. The concentrated effort will be to tighten the Enterprise rental process and update procedures -tomaximize net income, compatible with the Open Space Management policies. Open Space Management Program Planning, Design and Development Subprogram: New key projects in the 1983-84 fiscal year include defining better the District' s role in the planning and implementation of the Bayfront Trail, shifting the pre- scribed burning project to utilize the CDF Chaparral Burn Program, developing better strategies for the disposition of District structures and completing the planning study for the Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve. Operations, Maintenance and Volunteer Subprogram: With increasing acreage and public demand for the use of District sites, the Operations, Maintenance and Volunteer Subprogram will implement a revised scheduling and deployment program of field staff and resources. Other changes include concentrating on" more timely implementation of use and manage- ment projects for both immediate site protection needs as well as ongoing maintenance, increasing volunteer support by 50% for site development and maintenance, and overseeing the disposition of various structures on four current and two projected District sites. Public Communications and 'Governmental' Liaison Program The major changes in the proposed 1983-84 objectives and key projects and activities for the Public Communications Program are the deletion of references to the 10th Anniversary Celebration, which will end in May 1983. Except for this re-wording, the basic objectives of each sub- program remain the same as for 1982-83 . Under Public Participation and Education, three 1982-83 key projects have been dropped because they will be completed this year and one new project has been added. Under Public and Private Liaison, a new project has been added to replace a 10th Anniversary project. The rotating schedule of presentations by Board and staff members will be moved to "other typical projects and activities" and replaced by a joint meeting with the San Mateo County Parks and Recreation Commission. One new project has been added to the Media Subprogram. General Management and Program Support Program In the General Management and Program Support Program two key projects have been completed and do not reappear for 1983-84. One new project has been .added to be sure planning is being carried out for possible future needs. Recommendation: I recommend that, after discussion and possible modi- fication, you accept the program evaluation for the first part of 1982-83 and that you tentatively adopt the key projects and activities for 1983- 84. M-83-3 -, Page , 3 OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION PROGRAM Negotiations Subprogram The objective of the Negotiations Subprogram is to provide for the acquisition of all real property rights necessary to secure a recreational green- belt in the foothills and baylands, utilizing the major portion of the District' s income. 1982 - 1983 Key Projects and Activities 1. Convert the budgeted funds in the New Land Commitments budget category into strategic open space lands at desirable prices (fair market value or less) including, where possible, private financing with favorable terms. PROGRESS - During the first half of fiscal year 1982-83 , the Dis- trict acquired an additional 1,270 acres of land (for a total of 13,529 acres) at a total cost of $4,705,000 (an average of $3,700 per acre) . Of this total expenditure, $3,310,000 was paid in cash, and $1,395,000 was financed privately at rates of 9% or less. One of the most satisfying projects was the completion of a long term agreement with Hidden Villa, Inc. , which will provide for acquisi- tion of open space easements on 1,600 acres of land. This year' s expenditure. secured an easement over 240 acres at a total District 4 cost of $144,060. In 2. Expend the Previous Land Commitments "backlog" by completing the purchase of the Hassler and Novitiate properties. PROGRESS - Although neither parcel has been acquired, we are com- pleting trial preparation (expert witnesses and legal guidelines) to conclude the Hassler project this fiscal year. The Novitiate project continues to involve extensive legal work, but recent favorable court decisions have put the project back on track. 3. Work with Peninsula Open Space Trust to complete at least one acquisi- tion project that significantly furthers the District' s overall open space goals. P PROGRESS - As a part of the District' s Coal Creek Open Space Preserve acquisition, P.O.S.T. received a gift of 23 acres of land lying easterly of Alpine Road and a gift of a conservation easement Aver a five acre parcel on Crazy Pete ' s Road. Also, as a part of a recent District addition to Saratoga Gap Open Space Preserve , P.O.S.T. received a gift of a 17-acre homesite fronting on Highway 9 near Skyline Boulevard. M-83-3 Page 4 Proposed 1983-84 Objective-- The objective- of the Negotiations Subprogram is to provide for the acqui siti on of all real property rights necessary to secure a recrea- tional greenbelt in the foothills and baylands, . utilizing the major portion of the Distict's income. Proposed 1983-84 Key Projects and Activites 1. Eliminate thee- Previous Land Commitments backlog by completing the acquisition of the Hassler and Novitiate properties. 2. Convert the budgeted funds in the New Land Commitments budget cate- gory into strategic open space lands at desirable prices (fair market value or less) including, where possible, private financing with favorable terms. 3. Work with Peninsula Open Space Trust to complete at least one acqui- sition project that significantly furthers the District' s overall open space goals. M-83-3 Page 5 OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION PROGRAM -:Land Analysis- Subprogram The objective of the Land Analysis Subprogram is to provide the background information needed to carry on an effective land acquisi- tion program. 1982 - 1983 Key Projects and Activities 1. Analyze in conjunction with Open Space Management Programs particular geographic areas of the District, such as the baylands, to develop acquisition recommendations and project costs. PROGRESS - Pertinent data were obtained which resulted in acquisition decisions for three new open space preserves {Coal Creek, Whittemore Gulch, and Briggs Creek} , work also continued on the `baylands but has not been completed. 2. Continue gathering current information on areas and projects of interest, including updating zoning and general plan information, and development potential and proposals. PROGRESS - we obtained various information, including legal descrip- tions and mapping data for annexation.of District owned and leased land adjacent to Mt. Melville, Russian Ridge , and Mt. Umunhum. The San Mateo County Skyline Study was followed and analyzed. Zoning information, annexations , and general plan data were: gathered for the Hassler project. Slope-density studies were initiated on six parcels considered for open space acquisition. Proposed 1983-84 Objective This subprogram to be absorbed by the Negotia- tions and Special Projects Subprograms. M-83-3 Page 6 OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION PROGRAM Special Projects Subprogram The objective of the Special Projects Sub- program is to establish a broad base for the acquisition program by coordinating District efforts with other public and private agencies and by developing additional acquisition revenue sources. 1982 - 1983 Key Projects and Activities 1. Eliminate the current grant project backlog, specifically the Hassler and Novitiate projects (see Negotiations Subprogram) , and keep abreast of grants available to the District. Submit at least one Land and Water Conservation Fund acquisition grant request if program is funded, and secure the Coastal Conservancy Wetlands Enhancement grant. Continue follow-up on the Mt. Umunhum project and bring it to a conclusion.. PROGRESS - An additional $47,000 was available for fiscal year 1982- 1983 under the SB 174 Urban Grant program and an application was approved to allocate $32,500 to the Novitiate project and $15 ,500 to the .Hassler project. The District' s 1980 Park Bond Act project (Skyline Scenic Corridor Acquisition) was completed with the acquisi- tion of Coal Creek Open Space Preserve, and the remaining $330 ,000 reimbursement from the State has been requested. The Land and Water Conservation' Fund program has not been funded again (as yet) , so no new applications were submitted. The Wetlands Enhancement Grant proposal was turned down initially, but the Coastal Conservancy has expressed an interest in pursuing the project. Work has continued on the Mt. Umunhum project involving several avenues of approach, and the project seems to be nearer a conclusion (one way or another) . 2. Test the market and, if possible at favorable terms, market a new District note issue for land acquisition purposes. PROGRESS - The District successfully marketed $6 ,000,000 in new notes at the favorable rate of 8. 8% . 3. Seek and encourage agencies and groups to undertake sole or joint acquisition projects which will preserve additional open space. Attempt to initiate at least one joint project with Santa Clara County. Secure a grant from Save the Redwoods League to assist in the purchase of Whittemore Gulch Redwoods Open Space Preserve. PROGRESS - Several c r with Santa cooperative projects Clara County are in the germination stage , but the Count has not committed to an 5 g Y Y at this point. The Whittemore Gulch funding assistance has not been secured, but efforts will continue. 4. Complete the Thornewood and Picchetti leases. PROGRESS - Both leases were completed, and the projects turned over to Open Space Management during the renovation staae4 - f M-83-3 Page 7 Proposed 1983-84 Objective . The objective of the Special Projects Sub- program is to establish and maintain a broad base for the acquisition program by coor- dinating District efforts with private and other public agencies , to develop_ additional acquisition revenue sources, and to provide the special information necessary to a successful acquisition program. Proposed "1983-84 Key Projects and Activities 1. Eliminate the Hassler and Novitiate joint project backlog (see Negotiations Subprogram) and keep abreast of grants available to the District. Submit at least one Land and Water Conservation Fund .grant request, at least one Coastal Conservancy grant request, and at least one Roberti-Z 'berg grant request, .if programs are funded. 2. Seek and encourage agencies and groups to undertake sole or joint acquisition projects which will preserve additional open space. Initiate at least one joint project with Santa Clara County. 3 Analyze, in conjunction with Open Space Management Program, Particular geographic hic areas of the District such as the San Mateo County ba lands to develop acquisition recommendations and project costs. i M-83-3 ` Page 8 OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION PROGRAM Enterprise Activities Subprogram The objective of the Enterprise Subprogram is to manage all the revenue producing activities in such a way as to maximize income from enter- prise accounts consistent with Land Management policies. 1982 - 1983 Key Projects and Activities 1. Administer all leases and rent al accounts. PROGRESS - Between July 1, 1982 and December 31, 1982 revenue from residential, agricultural and communications tenancies was $36 ,738. Staff has drafted a new ground communications lease agreement form to be used in conjunction with renewed antenna leases. In addition , three residential structures were re-rented, and two antenna leases are being renegotiated. 2. Prepare a cost/benefit study on all revenue producing structures that will remain pursuant to Board policy. PROGRESS - A detailed study has been completed on the telecommunica- tions sites located on Black Mountain. With the results of this research, staff initiated and the Board adopted a revision of the policies for communications sites. A single special study on all rental structures does not appear to be warranted; it is preferable to treat each structure separately as repair and rental decisions come along. 3. Initiate a comprehensive study of compatible agricultural and rec- reational revenue producing uses of District lands. PROGRESS - Board policy on agricultural uses of District lands has been clarified in that a reactive mode is to be followed. There- fore, studies of compatible agricultural uses are to be handled on a case by case basis in conjunction with use and management plans. The areas currently identified for such uses on Monte Bello, Picchetti , and Thornewood sites are currently being analyzed. The legislation allowing 50 year leases may play an important part in the future viability of such leases. 4. Complete an overall cost/benefit study on grazing leases. PROGRESS - Grazing leases should be approached on the basis of vegetation management and fire suppression rather than purely a cost/benefit analysis. Therefore, existing grazing leases have been continued on a status quo basis until Open Space Management completes the necessary studies , presumably on a preserve by pre- serve basis. III�I M-83-3 Page 9 Proposed 1983-84 Objective The objective of the Enterprise Subprogram is to manage all the District' s revenue producing activities in such a way as to maximize income from Enterprise accounts consistent with Open Space Management policies and to explore new compatible activities. 1983-84 Key Projects -and Activities 1. Administer all leases and rental accounts, updating rental rates and other lease conditions as opportunities arise, to maximize income consistent with Open Space Management policies.. 2. Carry out maintenance and improvements to rental houses to keep buildings and grounds in a safe, sanitary, and attractive condition and to increase net rental income. 3. Prepare costAenefit studies on a case by case basis as major repair and rental decisions arise. yj ,y M-83-3 Page 10 OPEN SPACE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Planning, Design and Development Subprogram The objective of the Planning, Design, and Development Subprogram is to provide short term and long range acquisition planning and the formulation and review of use and manage- ment plans and special plans. 1982-1983 Key Projects and Activities 1 . Continue to develop, review, -and coordinate the implementation of Board approved use and management plans in accordance with site emphasis policies, including participation in final preparation of lease agreements for the Picchetti and Thornewood sites. Conduct a study for the use of the building area at Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve and seek a restoration project for gully erosion on Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. PROGRESS - Use and management planning is currently on schedule with a new one year schedule adopted with the annual relative site emphasis review completed in December. Attention has continued to be focused on the Monte Bello development project and the Windy Hill Trail project. Use and management recom- mendations have been prepared for the District' s 8 acquisitions so far this fiscal year and reviewed for 3 District planning areas. The Thornewood and Picchetti lease agreements have been consummated, and Open Space Management remains involved in planning through the two site review committees. A planning study has not yet begun of the building area at Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve. There have been preliminary discussions on a restoration project for the gully erosion on Monte Bello Open Space Preserve with the City of Palo Alto. Staff has completed work on the all-site brochure. 2. Continue the liaison efforts in conjunction with the Open Space Acquisition Program, where appropriate, for the planning of multi-jurisdictional projects , involving other agencies and non-profit groups. Work with the County of Santa Clara, Coastal Conservancy, and Navy for planning and implementation of Moffett section of Bayfront Trail. Work with P.O.S.T. and Portola Valley on planning and implementing a loop trail through Windy Hill Open Space Preserve. PROGRESS - Staff continues to plan for the implementation of the Bayfront Trail in two locations with several other agencies and P.O.S.T. Additional funding is being sought from both the Coastal Conservancy and CalTrans. EIR and development plan review has continued for the Edgewood Park site. Planning for trail access with the City of Cupertino through Seven Springs Ranch to Fremont Older Open Space Preserve was not a success. Liaison has continued with other trails organizations and committees, lncludinq the Midpeninsula Trails Council, Santa Clara i County Trails and Pathways Committee, and San Mateo County Bikeways Committee. Staff has been actively involved in the planning and implementation of the Windy Hill Open Space Preserve Loop Trail with both P.O.S.T. and the Portola Valley community. The project is 50% completed. 'M-83-3 Page 11 3. Complete evaluation of the first phase of the pilot Monte Bello burn project and, if the data is positive, continue with the next phase of the project in 1982-83 . Continue to seek funding for the baylands enhancement projects, and begin a comprehensive grazing study for the Skyline ridge area. PROGRESS - The staff evaluation of the first phase of the pilot Monte Bello burn project was positive, and staff has been pursuing funding of the next phase through the C.D.F. "Chapparral Burn Program" . Funding was sought, but not successfully, for the baylands enhance- ment project. A comprehensive grazing study of the Skyline ridge area was begun. Complete revision as appropriate of all land management policies and present in a coherent reference form. PROGRESS - Revision was completed of the Use and Management Planning Process, including an index to other policies. Further comprehensive revisions appear unnecessary. Two new Open Space Management policies have been adopted by the Board of Directors, which include policies for road maintenance agreements and Ranger residency. M-83-3 Page 12 Proposed 1983-84 Objective The objective of the Planning, Design and Development Subprogram is to provide short term and long range acquisition planning and the formulation and review of use and management plans, specific site development plans, and special plans.

Develop, review, and coordinate the implementation of Board approved use and management plans in accordance with Relative Site -phssis Policies, including completion of a planning study for the Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve. 2. Continue the liaison efforts of multi-jurisdictional projects, specifically to define the various roles of the District and other agencies and non-profit groups for the planning and implementation of the Bayfront Trail. 3. Continue to plan with California Department of Forestry for the Monte Bello Burn Project and continue with the next phase of the project. 4 . Develop a responsible timetable and plan for reaching decisions on the disposition of District structures. M-83-3 Wage 13 OPEN SPACE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Operations, Maintenance and Volunteer Subprogram The objective of the Operations, Maintenance and Volunteer Subprogram is to provide respon- sible stewardship of District lands by providing j those public safety, maintenance, and resource protection services necessary for the effective management of these lands. Part of the objective of this subprogram is to increase public education regarding features and proper use of these lands . 1982-1983 Key Projects and Activities 1 . Continue to provide a responsible level of stewardship of Distract lands, making most efficient use of available resources, and accommodate planned increases in public use in accordance with adopted site emphasis policies. PROGRESS - An active training program, totaling approximately 302 person hours this fiscal year, is continuing to help improve the quality of services provided by the District Ranger staff. Major incidents to which staff responded include four small fires totaling 7.5 acres burned, a suicide at Los Trancos, a fatal vehicle accident on Skyline Boulevard, a rattlesnake bite at Rancho San Antonio, and a few indecent exposure and drug related incidents. i District Rangers have issued 78 citations and 168 written warnings and made several hundred additional law enforcement contacts involving verbal warnings. All newly acquired property has been r added to existing patrol beats, with the heavily used Rancho San Antonio Preserve continuing to receive additional attention on weekend patrol. The Lead Ranger program continues successfully with the implemen- tation of the long-term organizational structure currently showing three full Ranger teams under the Operations Supervisor. After a pilot program staff has. implemented an open space intern program. Rangers have provided extensive input into the Ranger Residence Policies and background research for the dog policies currently under review. 2 . Implement approved and funded portions of site use and management plan recommendations as scheduled. Complete a comprehensive maintenance and operations plan for District preserves, including formalization of the District 's preventative maintenance program. PROGRESS - Implementation of approved and funded use and management recommendations has progressed, but is approximately two months behind schedule due to Ranger time spent on the Monte Bello and Windy Hill Open Space Preserve development projects. Further background data has been gathered on a comprehensive maintenance and operations plan for the District preserves, but this project, including the preventative maintenance program, has not been completed. M-83-3 Page 14 3. Incorporate site hazard identification and mitigation responsi- bilities into existing patrol and maintenance services. Provide the planning staff with a detailed facilities analysis and hazard assessment on newly acquired properties during the transfer period when responsibilities shift from Open Space Acquisition to Open Space Management. PROGRESS - Site hazard identification and mitigation responsi- bilitiei have been incorporated into existing patrol and mainte- nance services. The facilities analysis and hazards assessments are being provided during the transfer from Open Space Acquisition to Open Space Management. 4. Conduct a docent interpretive program, focusing on meeting in- creasing needs and program demands, using Los Trancos Open Space Preserve, Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve, Monte Bello Open Space Preserve and other appropriate sites. Continue to conduct spring wildflower walks at Edgewood. Increase significantly volunteer support for site development and maintenance. PROGRESS - The docent program has experienced some program growth. Docent training has continued with the District maintaining a group of about 60 docents . Regularly scheduled tours and programs have accommodated over 800 people. Docent-led wildflower walks are scheduled for the months of March to June at the Edgewood County Park and Los Trancos Open Space Preserve. Special docent- led walks are also scheduled from December through May in con- junction with ,the .District's 10th Anniversary program. Volunteer support for site development and maintenance has increased sig- nificantly within the last six months, with over 150 individuals aiding on various projects. 5. Oversee structure demolition on the Hassler property and secure and maintain those buildings that will remain. PROGRESS - This project has not yet begun as the property has not yet been acquired. ICI-83-3 Page 15 Proposed 1983-84 Objective The objective of the Operations, Maintenance and Volunteer Subprogram is to provide responsi- ble stewardship of District lands by furnishing those public safety, maintenance, and resource protection services necessary for the effective management of these lands.

Produce a special 10th Anniversary progress report and provide for mass public distribution. PROGRESS - Initial planning for a 10th Anniversary progress report has been underway since last spring. A draft of the text is being prepared for Board approval in January. A staged mailing to each household in the District is planned. 2. Print and distribute two issues of Openspace, one of which is a special 10th Arr-iversary issue in early fall, 1982 , and increase distribution by 50%. PROGRESS - The special 10th Anniversary issue of the Openspace newsletter was printed at the beginning of November and mailed to about 3,300 sub- scribers. Approximately 4,200 additional copies were distributed through the library systems and at various pick-up points, including the District office. This represents a 50% increase in distribution over the last newsletter. The Openspace mailing list has grown by about 200 names since July, and $460 in contributions had been received from 40 "paid subscribers" as of December 17, 1982. This is the largest total contribution received for the newsletter during any comparable period to date. 3. Hold at least one event commemorating the District's 10th Anniversary. PROGRESS - The following 10th Anniversary events took place during Octo- ber, November, and December: October 23, 10th Anniversary kick-off hike on new Monte Bello Nature Trail; October 27, P.C.C.

Develop, in cooperation with the Open Space Management Program,, an experiment designed to measure the impact of a specific informational effort on public awareness and use of one or more District sites. 2. Print and distribute three issues of the Openspace newsletter and obtain additional outside funding to increase distribution by 50% . M-83-3 C Page 18 LIC COMMUNICATIONS AND GOVERNMENTAL LIAISON PROGRAM Public and Private Liaison Subprogram The objective of the Public and Private Liaison Subprogram is to work with other public agencies and private organizations to secure legisla- tive remedies to the problems created by reduced levels of funding and to complete projects of mutual concern. 1982-1983 Key Projects and Activities 1. Accomplish priority items for fiscal year in District' s legis- lative Program utilizing services of Legislative Consultant. PROGRESS: The following progress has been made since July 1, 1982 on top priority items in the Legislative Program for the 1982 half of the two-year session. (1) The District' s share of the property tax was protected. (2) AB 2521, an, MROSD-sponsored bill to allow lease by Dis- .rict for a term of up to 50 years for park, recreation, open space, and historic preservation purposes, and to conform use of facsimile signatures to other State law, was signed by the Governor. (3) SB 1680, an MROSD-sponsored bill to allow State Division of Forestry to do controlled burning adjacent to State Respon- sibility Areas, was signed by the Governor. (4) SB 1214 , an MROSD-opposed bill that could have given away public rights in wetlands, failed. (5) The Burleigh-Murray Ranch was designated for transfer to the State Parks Department. 2. Involve other agencies and organizations in the District' s 10th Anniversary Observance. PROGRESS : An invitation to other agencies and organizations to participate in the 10th Anniversary observance yielded an excellent response from such groups as the Midpeninsula Trails Council, the Audubon Society, the Trail Riders, Nature Explora- tions, and the California Road Runners - all of whom scheduled special hikes, trail rides or other events in connection with the Anniversary. The Coyote Point Museum invited the District to preppre and install a 10th Anniversary exhibit, "Celebrate Open Space" , for a 3-month showing, and the City of Sunnyvale has indicated an interest in hosting the exhibit in the spring. The Peninsula Conservation Center gift shop offered to sell copies of the "Celebrate Open Space" poster, as did the gift shop at the Coyote Point Museum. The "Not-So-Annual Regional Park and Open Space District Con- ference" hosted by the District on December 4th, was another successful event attended by Board and staff representatives of the East Bay Regional Park District, the Marin County Open M-83-3 Page 19 Space District, the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District, and MROSD. At least a dozen organizations will be involved in the final Anniversary event on May 14, 1983. 3. Continue the rotating schedule of informational presentations to public agencies and private organizations with particular emphasis on county and city planning departments and city coun- cils that Board members consider top priority and where they are able to participate.

Continue regular communications with the media in accordance with the District's policy statement regarding open information and cooperation. PROGRESS : Regular communications with the media were maintained through news releases, telephone calls, and personal contact with reporters , editors and freelancers. The District continues to receive an ever-increasing volume of press coverage. Network television also responded to District news releases with coverage of the Picchetti Winery lease on Channel 7 and 11. The possi- bility of producing a short videotape for broadcast on local cable television is also being considered. 2. Prepare special materials for the media related to the District's loth Anniversary celebration. PROGRESS: A series of special news releases, photographs and background materials were sent to the media to announce the 10th Anniversary celebration. The response has been gratifying: three newspapers devoted their entire front page to the District 's "Celebrate Open Space" photo, the San Jose Mercury ran a smaller version of the photo on page one of its "living" section, and announcements of the various anniversary events have appeared in most of the papers . In addition, at least two newspapers ran editorials commemorating the District's 10th Anniversary. The San Francisco Examiner ran a special feature about the District 's first ten years and the San Mateo Times chain printed a "rave review" of the Coyote Point Exhibit in which the District's history was summarized. 3. Develop and implement procedures for encouraging public use of District sites in accordance with site emphasis policy guidelines and the Open Space Management budget. PROGRESS : Procedures for encouraging public use of District sites through the media are being developed through careful coordination with the Open Space Management staff, which is asked to review news releases before they are sent out so that information about r with access to sites is both accurate and in accordance w it site emphasis guidelines, 14-83-3 Page 22 Proposed 1983-1984 Objective The objective of the Media Subprogram is to inform the public about the District's activities through news stories and features in the press and other media as appropriate.

M-83-3 Page 23 GENERAL MANAGEMENT AND PROGRAM SUPPORT The. objective of General Management and Program Support is to provide overall coordination, direction, and an admini- strative base for all District activities so as to maximize the accomplishment of the Board' s policies and directives. 1982 - 1983 Key Projects and Activities 1. Provide necessary interpretation, coordination, direction, and admini- strative base, including on-going review and updating of personnel- related matters , for District's staff and programs in order to carry out Board policies, Action Plan, and specific actions according to written and unwritten Board priorities. PROGRESS - As in the past, progress must be based upon overall results in each program area, and progress appears to be very good. Major accomplishments include the consummation of the Thornewood and Picchetti leases; the Hidden Villa open space easement agreement; the adoption of road maintenance and ranger residence policies;- the loth Anniversary extravaganzas at -Coyote Point Museum and the_ University Club of Palo Alto; ' and the completion of administrative activities for the November election. 2. Forecast future revenues and develop strategies to provide necessary funding to carry out the Board' s programs and priorities, including issuance of new note issue, if feasible and financially sound to do so. PROGRESS - In accordance with the Board' s action of December 8 , a new note issue in the amount of $6 million was completed. The Controller continued to make various cash flow forecasts, and his investment of temporarily idle District funds yielded 13.2%. for the first six months of the fiscal year on District portfolio investments. 3. Provide required functions for the election of District directors in Wards 1, 2, 5, 6. PROGRESS - Completed. Because of the three contested elections , the time requirements for these functions were considerable and slowed work on personnel study implementation. 4. Continue to promote an atmosphere conducive to generating a creative team effort, including one staff workshop retreat and one all-staff "event" in conjunction with the District' s Tenth Anniversary celebrations. PROGRESS - The management/administrative staff continues to meet weekly to review regular activities, as well as to work together on various projects, while the entire office staff meets as a group bi-weekly in order to keep everyone informed of "what' s happening" and to discuss matters relating to the group as a whole. The ranger staff meets on a regular basis each Friday, and the respective staffs in each of the four major program areas have held individual group meetings. Management/ administrative staff members held an all-day retreat in December at Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve in order to brainstorm for the coming fiscal year, and the fruits of this effort include the proposed objectives and key projects and activities section of this program evaluation material. As yet, an "all-staff" event has not been planned in conjunction with the District ' s Tenth Anniversary activities (any ideas are welcome! ) . The staff had its annual holiday pot-luck in mid-December.

In response to your question about the meaning of Los Trancos in Spanish, I must admit that we're not absolutely sure. The two definitions we've discovered so far are "stumps" and "strides" , and there is also a theory the proper spelling is Troncos, not Trancos.

Box 10 Mountain View, CA 94042 January 6, 1983 Mr. Herb Grench, General Manager Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District 375 Distel Drive, Suite D1 Los Altos, CA 94022 Dear Herb: It is our understanding that dogs are being considered permissible on certain preserves within the open space district. As caretakers of Deer Hollow Farm at Rancho San Antonio, we strongly urge you not to allow canines on this particular preserve. We have found dogs to be extremely incompatible with our farm animals' safety and daily routine. It is not unusual to see the goats, sheep and chickens frantically scatter when a dog appears in the barn yard (whether accompanied by an owner or not) . The problems we currently experience with dogs even though their presence is prohibited will be compounded if dog use of the preserve is officially sanctioned. The physical safety of our animals would definitely be in question. We have been educating thousands of children as to the importance of preserving the land and the wildlife that inhabit it. Deer presently graze throughout all of Rancho and in close proximity to the farm area. Why tamper with this established relationship between humans and wildlife by allowing dogs? We ask that you consider our recommendation to not allow dogs at Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve. Their presence is not compatible with the pro- gram we sponsor and the "caretaker" philosophy we foster and promote. If you have any questions, please contact me.
