Meeting 83-23 MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT 375 DISTEL CIRCLE,SUITE D-1,LOS ALTOS,CALIFORNIA 94022 (415)965-4717 SPECIAL MEETING BOARD OF DIRECTORS MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19, 1983 I. ROLL CALL President Daniel Wendin called the meeting to order at 7:42 P.M. Members Present: Katherine Duffy, Daniel Wendin, Nonette Hanko, and Richard Bishop. Members Absent: Edward Shelley and Harry Turner. Personnel Present: Herbert Grench, Jean Fiddes, and Stanley Norton. Craig Britton and David Hansen were present for the Closed Session. II. OLD BUSINESS WITH ACTION REQUESTED A) Discussion of Process for Filling Vacant Directorship in Ward 3 by Appointment H. Grench reviewed memorandum M-83- 114 of September 16, 1983, noting the Board had until October 13, 1983 to fill the Ward 3 vacancy by appointment. He stated a notice of vacancy had to be posted for at least fifteen days prior to the making of the appointment. Discussion .centered on .whether only those individuals who expressed an interest in running for the position should be considered in the appoint- inept process. N. Hanko stated that she felt that only those who had actually filed for election should be considered. S. Norton stated it would be highly irregular to limit who could apply for the position, and the majorityof the Board members present indicated they did not favor limiting who could apply for the seat. In response to a question from D. Wendin regarding whether the Board 'should continue to consider filling the vacancy through the election process, no member of the Board spoke in favor of having an election. The Board discussed the proposed application form, and R. Bishop stated he felt it was premature to ask applicants to discuss possible solutions for the District' s major issues. Following a discussion of question twoon page two, the Board concurred the question should be restated to ask applicants to discuss the major issues of the District today and in the next few years. D. Wendin stated the Board' s consensus that applicants be interviewed during a public meeting and that the interviews be conducted in a manner similar to that used by the League of Women' s Voters on candi- date nights. Motion: D. Wendin moved pursuant to Resolution 83-34 the Board hereby chooses not to proceed with the election process and to make the appointment pursuant to Section 1780 of the Government Code. N. Hanko seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Meeting 6. .-23 two Motion: D. Wendin mL d the posted notice peric zhall , begin Sep- tember 20, 1983 R. Bishop seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Motion: D. Wendin moved that applications would be due by 5 :00 P.M. , Wednesday, October 5, 1983. K. Duffy seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Motion: D. Wendin moved the interviewing be held and appointment made at the October 12, 1983 Regular Meeting provided, however, that if there will not be a quorum present for that meeting, the President may select another date up to and including October 13, 1983. R. Bighop seconded the motion. Discussion: D. Wendin stated that if there was a large number of candidates he would call a Special Meeting on another date for the purpose of handling other District business that would have been included on the October 12 agenda. The motion passed unanimously. Motion: R. Bishop moved the Board approve the application form with the following changes to question two on page two, 1) delete "in the next few years" and substitute the words "today and in the next few years" and 2) delete the question "What solutions do you suggest?" and substitute "Discuss- " . K. Duffy seconded the motion. Discussion: D. Wendin stated the Board' s consensus that applicahts could use additional sheets of paper, If necessary, to complete answers. The notion passed unanimously. Discussion centered on whether secret ballots should be used to select an appointee. S. Norton stated the selection process could be done by secret ballot. Motion: R. Bishop moved the Board conduct the election in the same manner as election of officers of the Board which is by means of individual secret ballot from each Board member. D. Wendin seconded the motion. The motion passed in the following vote: Ayes: D. Wendin, K. Duffy, and R. Bishop. No: N' Hanko. Director Hanko had spoken in favor of making the selection using the open ballot process. S. Norton stated that if the Board could not agree on a voting procedure at the October 12 meeting, the Board President could exercise his prerogative as arbiter of the Rules of Procedures to decide how voting should occur. He said if a majority of the Board disagreed with the President's decision, they could override the decision.

The Board of Directors of our homeowners association has asked us to contact; you to oppose continued use of the Hassler buildings and to encourage use of the pro- perty for open space only. The association board does not speak for all the Brittan Heights owners or tenants. In 1972 I hosted a meeting of people interested in acquiring the Hassler property for parkland (participants included then Supervisor Royer and the late Mr. Seeger, among others); hence, my interest in acquiring Hassler is longstanding. For many years we attempted to find a group that might ` be interested in using the Hassler buildings while the surrounding lands would be used for park and open space. While it may be very late in the game, I support the efforts of the San Mateo Arts Council to preserve the buildings for use by artists in the community. In recent years support for the arts seems to have been dwindling; this effort would be a tremendous boost to a valuable cultural resource. k I believe, however, that continued efforts toward the Arts Council's goal should be limited by two considerations. First. there must be reasonable assurances that funds are available to both restore and maintain all the buildings they anticipate using. Second, I also understand it is possible the Federal grant to help purchase the property will be withdrawn if the buildings are allowed to be used. If the Federal government is firm in their position, then the Arts Council's request should be denied lest the main purpose of acquisition--parkland and open space-- be lost. Since efforts to acquire Hassler have been ongoing for more than ten years, I think it would be worthwhile to take the relatively little extra time to determine if the Arts Council's proposal is viable; if it is not, then let us proceed with the acquisition so residents will be able to finally use the Hassler lands. Thank you for your consideration.

In 1979, when no other group or agency would help the Mid Peninsula Regional Open Space District with financing the purchase of this property, we in Brittan Heights formed a special assessment district to raise $300,000 for this purpose. Our understand"was that the buildings would be demolished (with the possible exception of one if a Ranger was to live there) and the area would be restored to open space. There was never a question of using any of the space for any other purpose, especially for commercial ventures or living quarters (as proposed by the San Mateo Arts Council). We strongly urge you to allow MPROSD to demolish the buildings and keep their promise to us and vote for the restoration of this property to open space only. Sincerely, C Julia M.

When area homeowners voted to assess fees on our own properties so that the MPROSD might purchase the Hassler grounds, the understanding was that the property would be kept as open space Without that understanding, I am sure that the measure would never have passed. The Arts Council proposal clearly fails to qualify as "open space" usage of the property. The fact that the proposal includes use of one of the buildings as living quarters makes the proposal even more objectionable. We hope that you share our concern for the preservation of open space on the Peninsula. Please join us in opposing this effort by a special-interest group to commandeer property that the public has paid for, so that all might enjoy it equally. Sincerely yours, )PI da4 k.

Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager; A. Watt, Environmental Analyst SUBJECT: North Santa Clara Solid Waste Management Authority Proposed Disposal Site Impacts Introduction: At your meeting of July 27 , 1983 , you asked that a presentation be made on the proposed disposal site search by the North Santa Clara Solid Waste Management Authority (SWMA) , with particular emphasis on the Bryan Canyon site. Representatives from the North Santa Clara Solid Waste Management Authority, as well as representatives of CROAKE, Concerned Residents Organized Against Killer Emissions, will be present to address you regarding the proposed Bryan Canyon site. The North Santa Clara Solid Waste Management Authority, with juris- diction over Cupertino, Los Altos , Los Altos Hills , Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, and unincorporated Santa Clara County, has been studying alternatives for long term disposal of solid waste. Their "Project Feasibility Report" , Draft - September 1983 - includes an Environ- mental Assessment focused on four alternative scenarios involving seven potential sites . This report gives a brief description of the project and discusses its potential impacts on District lands . A. Alternative Scenarios 1 . Out of Area Landfill . Waste from member jurisdictions would be hauled to a transfer station, loaded on tractor trailer trucks designef specifically for highway use, and transported to a landfill site in Kirby Canyon, San Jose, or Pacheco Pass outside Gilroy. The material would then be spread into layers, compacted by driving over it, and covered with clean fill at the end of each day. 2 . Process Landfill . Waste would be delivered to the transfer station (s) . Recyclable materials would be removed and the remaining material shredded and transported to Bryan Canyon for disposal . The processing would reduce the volume of garbage and also remove odors, so daily covering would not I be required. Recyclables would be sold. Bryan Canyon would have a capacity of about 25 years using this method. M-83-117 Paae two 3 . Energy Recovery. (Mass Burning) Waste would be brought to the transfer station (s) , transferred to larger vehicles, and delivered without processing to an energy recovery facility at the Kaiser Permanente Cement Plant. The waste would then be burned in furnaces, producing steam which will be used to generate electrical power. The power would be sold either to Kaiser or to a local utility. The residual ash and noncombustibles would be trucked to nearby Bryan Canyon. Exhaust gasses would pass through pollution control equipment and be discharged through a stack. Energy recovery could extend the landfill capacity to over 50 years. 4 . Energy and Materials Recovery (Refuse Derived Fuel) Garbage brought to the transfer station (s) would be unloaded and separated into recyclable, noncombustible and combustible portions. The recyclable materials would be sold and the noncombustible waste would be transported directly to Bryan Canyon. The remaining waste would be shredded and hauled to an energy recovery facility at the Kaiser Permanente Cement Plant. The processing increases the heating value of the waste. Ash would be disposed of in Bryan Canyon. This system has the advantage of maximizing recycling of recoverable materials and reducing the volume of disposed waste. B. Sites UnderConsideration 1 . Out of Area The Kirby Canyon landfill site is in south San Jose near Anderson Reservoir, approximately 26 miles one way from the nearest transfer station (Kifer Road) . The Pacheco Pass landfill site is east of Gilroy, approximately 43 miles one way. 2. Transfer Stations Transfer stations need to be located near areas where garbage is generated, and also have good highway access . The project transfer station (s) would be* at one of four sites in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale. The three potential sites on the north side of Sunnyvale are Libby Cannery, at the corner of Mathilda and California Avenues, Kifer Road, at the corner of Kifer Avenue and Commercial Street, and Ross Drive at the intersection of Highways 237 and 101 . The Palo Alto site is located on the former Los Altos sewage treatment plant on North San Antonio Road. 3 . Kaiser Permanente Cement Plant/Bryan Canyon The Bryan Canyon/Kaiser Permanente site includes both Bryan Canyon, a potential landfill site, and part of the adjacent Kaiser site, a potential location for an energy recovery facility. The 200 acre site is adjacent to Stevens Creek Reservoir and the City of Cupertino. At present, access is from Stevens Creek and Foothill Boulevards. The community has expressed concern about existing Kaiser related truck traffic on these residential streets . The study includes the option of constructing an alternate roadway access route to the Bryan Canyon area from Interstate 280. This route would require a new interchange at 280 north of the existing Foothill Boulevard interchange with a roadway across M-83-117 Page three vacant rolling land to Stevens Creek Boulevard just east of the Kaiser Permanente entrance. Another potential route for delivery of waste to Bryan Canyon is an existing railroad spur which connects with the Libby Cannery alternative transfer station. Bryan Canyon is surrounded on three sides by steep slopes which buffer noise and views except to the south and southwest. How- ever, the hillsides are prone to landslides which could result in higher than normal costs for construction or maintenance of roadways. The canyon drains toward Stevens Creek with underlying soils composed of clays with low permeability. Ground water is extremely limited. Oak woodland and oak savannah habitat cover 80 acres of the site, with California live oak the dominant tree. Another 80 acres support chaparral and woodland charappal. The 40 acre creek corridor is con- sidered the most diverse and valuable plant and wildlife habitat on the site - wildlife use this area for shelter, forage, and nesting. Sycamores and willows are the dominant trees. These habitats and the wildlife they support at present would be difficult to re-establish subsequent to landfill operations because of the topographic and drainage requirements of these communities . The Kaiser site is presently part of the cement plant facilities and is geologically similar to Bryan Canyon with landslide prone hillsides. However, the potentially active Berrocal Fault crosses the mass burning plant site. Additional studies of this fault are underway and will be included in the final environmental assessment. A ridge would screen most views of the facility. A single (RDF) or double (mass burning) stack would be visible along with intermittent white steam plumes. Development would result in loss of approximately 10 acres of oak woodland habitat on this already disturbed site. The alternate access road vicinity is largely agricultural with small areas of oak woodland and a minor wetlands habitat along a drainage ditch. There are no known rare or endangered species in Bryan Canyon, Kaiser, or along the alternate access route. Development would result in a 5 to 7 acre loss of agricultural and oak woodland habitat. No loss of wetland would occur. If a waste processing plant were built at the site, the main structure would be about as high as a four story building and cover an area of over two acres. An additional two acres would be covered by a convenience station for delivery of wastes and recyclable materials , a truck weigh scale station, and a vehicle maintenance and utility building. All waste handling would be contained in enclosed structures screened from views outside the site. A mass Burning Energy Plant would require a site roughly the size of two football fields. The principal structure required would be similar to a nine or ten story building covering two-thirds of a football field. It would include two exhaust stacks approximately 180 feet high. It is not yet known how high a steam plume might rise above the stacks . However, if the plume height were 100 feet above the stacks, the top of the plume would still be lower in elevation than the Kaiser M-83-117 Page four preheater tower. A refuse derived fuel burning plant would be similar to the mass burning plant in size and appearance, with the exception of a single instead of a double stack and steam plume. C. Report Suggested Mitigation Measures The Environmental Assessment compares environmental issues for the alternative scenarios . For the alternatives involving Bryan Canyon, only site visibility is considered unmitigatable or unavoidable, although partial mitigation measures are recommended. Site access, truck noise, and residential noise are all considered to have significantly adverse (or substantial) impacts, but mitigation measures are available to reduce them to insignificant levels. Habitat value loss is considered to have a moderately adverse impact which is considered mitigatable. Mitigation measures suggested for the visual impacts of the landfill areas include: phased revegetation to minimize the visible area of disturbed landscape, contouring slopes to blend with natural terrain, landscaping plans for screening operations and revegetation plans for final reclamation of the filled areas. No mitigations are suggested for the facilities proposed at Kaiser since the site would be visually a part of the existing Kaiser Cement Corporation industrial complex. Mitigations related to habitat value include: A detailed erosion/sedimentation control plan should be required prior to final project approval. This erosion control plan should include a comprehensive revegetation plan for completed landfill areas that considers not only the need to control erosion but also habitat value. Use of vegetation on interim and final soil cover to minimize erosion and maximize evapotranspiration of moisture. The responsibility for long term maintenance of the landfill after closure should be established prior to project approval. Long term soil erosion would likely require periodic repair of the soil cover layer. Implement erosion control and water quality mitigation measures to minimize potential biological impacts to the completed landfill surface due to erosion. Replant native tree species (particularly coast live oak or valley oak) where loss of native trees is required for project construction. A comprehensive revegetation plan for the completed landfill surface should be implemented. Consideration should be given to establishing a habitat of a value comparable to that which would be lost due to landfill operations. D. Potential District-Related Impacts A detailed analysis of environmental issues is presented in the Environmental Assessment including issues related to land use and applicable plans, traffic and circulation, air quality, noise, energy, aesthetic quality, public services, health and safety, geology and hydrology, biology and cultural resources. The Environmental Assess- ment is available at the District office for your review, or you can obtain a copy from North Santa Clara Solid Waste Management Authority at the meeting. M-83-117 Page five The District is most concerned over potential impacts in the Bryan Canyon area. The proposed out of area landfills are outside Dis- trict boundaries, and the proposed transfer stations are in previously urbanized areas with the exception of the Palo Alto site which con- tains approximately 5 acres of abandoned treatment ponds. The ponds, although not naturalT . provide resting and feeding areas for birds, and are located near the Baylands. The potential District related impacts associated with the Bryan Canyon project are as follows: 1. The Bryan Canyon area is designated as long term open space and permanent open space in the Cupertino General Plan. The Kaiser property ranks high on the District' s Master Plan scoring, particularly the upper, more visible ridges. The Kaiser excavations have already badly scarred much of the area. Designating Bryan Canyon as a landfill would destroy approximately 200 acres or more of undisturbed open space with a high habitat value. Revegetation of the completed landfill surface subse- quent to filling operations would represent only a partial miti- gation of such an impact. 2. Bryan Canyon is visible from the lower part of the Picchetti Ranch Area of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve as well as from parts of Monte Bello Road and the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve. Smokestacks, smoke plumes, and the fill itself would detract from the visual open space experience. Over the life of the landfill the topography would be gradually, but signifi- cantly, visibly altered. Landfill would change the natural canyon topography to a moderate slope with three crests. 3 . There are several parks used by hikers, equestrians, joggers and bicyclists in the surrounding areas. Stevens Creek County Park is approximately 5000 feet from Bryan Canyon and 1500 feet from the alternate access route. Three District Preserves Monte Bello, Fremont older, and Rancho San Antonio are all located in the vicinity. Park visitors could experience increased truck traffic, noise and odor, dust, and landfill gas (methane) emitted from the landfill if the process alternative is selected. Emissions from energy recovery facilities would increase air pollutants. Air quality would be lessened, further degrading the existing high particulate concentration. Unless properly contained, leachate from the landfill could contaminate groundwater. Potential pollution of air and water could indirectly affect surrounding District lands. 4 . The alternate access route crosses potential open space lands, and tree removal , grading and construction activities would destroy some of the natural quality of the St. Joseph' s Seminary property. There is the possibility however, of the new access road creating a better access to Rancho San Antonio County Park and the Open Space District Preserve. Cristo Rey Court, which provides access to Rancho San Antonio is only 150 feet from the access route. Recommendation: No aftion is required on this matter. Staff will continue to monitor this project closely and inform you as any new information becomes available. If you feel that action is required on this matter, it can be placed on a future agenda. }: :{.} ....... :v::: yy:•S.....•:;{:;i;...;}}1:hvti.;.;�,y}:•:.FA•;rv.; -r.: : ,. tic 'Wit-, �.•. x :ir:•}M';$v;•:•+s, :.t:j.� ,Y•{:.}• ..3.,'•\ ``� '.... .i::•.;:• .r.•..�'s�.:;.�.

Corporation Of Martinez, California at $5000 for the total project. District staff and the District consultant, Walter Keller Of Keller and | DdsekiOg Architects, have reviewed the bid and the qualifications Of the \ / bidding company and find all necessary Criteria to be in Order. The ^ architect3»estimate on this project was $5000, the exact amount Of the bid, l recommend that the bid of I .T.

The remainder of the house is to become a District multi-purpose facility. Cost of permanently isolating a portion of the house for a Ranger residence is now estimated at $6500 and is included in the FY 83-84 budget. Multi-use improvements are estimated at $6000 and are included in FY 83-84 budget. Improvements are expected to be completed by January 1984 . 3 . Staff recommends that if the cabin next to the lower house cannot be moved to Hidden Villa Ranch, it be demolished and the site returned to a natural state. Status: Hidden Villa no longer is interested in moving the structure, so demolition plans will proceed. 4 . The agreement between the City of Mountain View and the District will be amended to reflect a change in usage and location of the pool. Other changes regarding trail mainte- nance and alignment and fire protection may be incorporated in the agreement in March 1983 . Status : The agreement of March 1983 reflects the change in location of the pool being utilized by the City. Mountain View pays all costs for maintenance of the pool and equipment. 5 . The City of Los Altos Fire Chief is urging the District to improve the main water system for fire protection leading from the Mora Drive storage tank to the structures on the valley floor. The project will be phased and accomplished over a period of three years at an estimated cost of $5000. The first phase will include installation of a new 4" meter and 300 ' section of pipe. Costs of material and labor will be shared with the City of Mountain View on this project. Status : The first phase of this project, which will connect to the upper house, is scheduled to be completed this fall. Before starting work, an engineer will be consulted to pro- vide detailed specifications . In the second phase, it is the intent to connect the new 4 inch line to the lower residence and multi-use facility. The Los Altos Fire Department has indicated that public group uses of the lower residence may not be allowed until adequate water pressure for fire protection is provided to the building and other additional requirements are met. New Use and Management Recommendation 1 . An equestrian stile should be installed at the top of the ridge on the High Meadow Trail to discourage motorcycle access in this area. Cost is estimated at $250 with funding included in FY 83-84 budget. D. Natural Resource and Agricultural Management Existing Use and Management Recommendations 1 . The perimeter grassland area and upper ridge will be disced each spring to provide fuel breaks . Lower meadows will be mowed to decrease fire hazard and to control the spread of thistles. Status : Discing was completed in the spring at a cost of $800 . New Use and Management Recommendations 1 . The oak and eucalyptus trees along the entrance trails through the Preserve and Deer Hollow Farm are old and prone to losing limbs and falling during periods of storms and hot weather . i September 22, 1953 Page two 3.

Recommendation: I would recommend that none of these organizations be selected at this time. However, should there be an interest by any Board member or member of the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve Upper House Proposal Criteria Formulation Committee to review the sub- mittals in detail, the Board could delay the decision until they have had a chance to scrutinize the material. Proposed occupancy would have to be delayed if further time is required for review, and the applicants should be informed that a final decision would not be made until the October 26 Board Meeting. If the Board wishes not to choose any applicant at this time, the solici- tation procedure could be continued. While District staff originally recommended removalor demolition of the structure, the process of soliciting proposals could be readvertised to further search for a more compatible use for the house than those currently submitted. The existing tenants have been excellent and would be willing to stay during the interim period of time. I believe readvertising would be the best procedure to follow at this time, and we would develop a new timetable for consideration at the October 26 meeting if that is the Board 's decision. MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT MEMORANDUM September 22, 1983 TO: H. Grench, General Manager FROM: D. Hansen, Land Manager SUBJECT: Disposition of Upper House - Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve Staff was charged on April 20, 1983 (see memorandum M-83-04 , dated January 14 , 1983 and memorandum M-83-41 dated April 7 , 1983) with soliciting an appropriate long term use by a compatible organization for the upper house at Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve. Under direction of the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve Upper House Proposal Criteria Formulation Committee, criteria were formulated and approved by the Board, and Land Management staff proceeded to adver- tise, hold two open houses, and accept initial proposals for the use of the house. The timetable for the selection of the potential tenants was as follows: A. Board of Directors Approval of April 13 , 1983 Proposal Criteria B. RFP' s Solicited May 25, 1983 C. Open House (s) June 11 and June 18 , 1983 D. Deadline for Submittal of Proposals July 22, 1983 E. Selection Process Including Month of August, 1983 Possible Further Open House F. Board Selection of Organization September 14, 1983 G. Proposed Occupancy Date October 14, 1983 Groups submitting proposals were informed that a decision would not be made on September 14, 1983, but would be delayed until the Board ' s September 28 meeting. It should also be noted, that since this property is currently occupied by tenants, a minimum of 30 days notice would be required to vacate the property. Therefore, the occupancy date would have to be somewhat flexible to allow for an orderly vacation, especially as winter approaches. Proposals submitted were as follows: Group Proposed Uses 1.

District staff should periodically seek the aid of tree surgeons to assist in removing or trimming hazardous portions of trees at the entrance to the Preserve and along the road- way to Deer Hollow Farm. The estimated cost for this year' s work is $1500 and is included in FY 83-84 budget. E. Brochure A folded brochure is available on site and by request from the District office. F. Visitor and Site Protection New Use and Management Recommendations 1 . The recent meeting that was held between County Park and District staff, in which Rancho San Antonio 's management concerns were discussed, indicated that because more in- tense use patterns are developing in the County Park, a formal joint management agreement is needed. District staff will prepare this document to be discussed further and approved by both agencies. G. Dedication The site is dedicated public open space with the exception of the 80 acre former Roman Catholic Church property, withheld from dedication to allow for the possible exchange of land with adjacent property owners. The dedication status should remain the same. Recommendation: I recommend you tentatively adopt the use and management plan for the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve as contained herein, and the recommendations for the upper house as contained in the attached memorandum to me from David Hansen. R-83-40 Page five C. structures and Improvements In addition to the storm damage caused to trails on the Preserve, one of the animal sheds at Deer Hollow Farm was destroyed when a large oak fell on the building. Plans for a slightly larger animal shed were made, and the plans were reviewed and approved by District staff for conformance with the surrounding farm structures. Construction of the building is currently underway and should be completed by mid-October. At your meeting of April 13, 1983 , you discussed the proposed uses of the upper and lower houses . You adopted criteria for seeking a lessee for the upper house and accepted the timetable for action on lessee solicitation (see memorandum M-83-41 , dated April 7, 1983) . In addition, you reaffirmed your policy on the use of the lower house as a multi-purpose facility and Ranger residence and asked staff to return to you with a recom- mended policy on the use of the facility. 1 . Disposition of Upper House The District should offer, by public notice, rental of the upper house under a long term lease for uses by an organi- zation or organizations having goals and uses compatible with those of the District. An open house could be held in March 1983 after notifying many organizations. An interim rental for a minimum of six months should be arranged while the selection process is in effect. The selection process should be completed by June 1983 , but could be extended another six months if necessary. Status : Refer to the attached memorandum to me from David Hansen concerning. analysis and selection of upper house proposals. Existing Use and Management Recommendations 2. The lower house will be maintained by the District for both a Ranger residence (pending adoption of the Ranger Residence Policies and Plan) , District special use facility, and changing room for the Mountain View pool use. Because of the excellent location, offering good surveillance and response time to the busiest of District preserves, it is felt that a portion of this house could be isolated for a Ranger residence. The remaining portion - the living room, dining area, sun porch and kitchen - could then be used for special District affairs, such as conferences, docent classes, and other District training sessions . The re- maining one room and bath could be utilized by the City of Mountain View as a changing room for the swimming program. The estimated cost of remodeling the Ranger residence section is approximately $4500 and was not included in the FY 82-83 budget preparation. Some funding is available this fiscal year to begin remodeling, but the bulk of it will be requested next fiscal year. The projected average annual upkeep and maintenance for the total structure is expected to be $750 a year. This figure includes costs for a new roof amortized over several years. Mountain View will be asked to pay for any improvements to the changing room area. Status : A portion of the house is maintained as a Ranger reside.nce and a portion is designated for a changing room R-83-40 Page four the center of the orchard in a boggy state well into the summer months and eaten,-.away at the roadway surface and bank. A culvert should be installed under the roadway to carry the water, and the Ranger staff should work with the staff of the City of Mountain View to install a gravel-lined drainageway through the orchard. Cost is estimated at $250 and was not specifically included in FY 83-84 budget preparations . 2 . An informal agreement between Pacific Gas and Electric and the District was reached for road maintenance on the PG&E road within the Preserve. The District's share (50%) for repairs completed last spring amounted to $900. The agree- ment should be continued between the District and PG&E. The estimated cost for the year is $500 and was included in FY 83-84 budget. 3 . During the spring, portions of the Rogue Valley Trail were brushed through the cooperative efforts of the California Conservation Corps and District staff. The trail was widened at the same time to cut down on the amount of brushing required in subsequent years. Completion of the project is anticipated this fall . 4 . Switchbacks on hillside trails are being bypassed by trail users. Barriers should be installed to prevent the cross- cut trails . Cost is estimated at $200 and was included in FY 83-84 budget. 5. A temporary bridge constructed in Wildcat Canyon following the winter storms should be replaced with a more permanent structure. In addition, a portion of the trail through Wildcat Canyon is in need of realignment. Cost is estimated at $300 with funding included in the FY 83-84 budget. 6. Additional repairs to the bridge near Deer Hollow Farm are required within the upcoming fiscal year. Estimated cost is $2500 and will be included in FY 84-85 budget preparation. B. Signing At your May 25, 1983 meeting, the issue of roadside signing at Cristo Rey Drive was addressed (see memorandum M-83-58, dated May 19, 1983) . It was pointed out that the City of Los Altos has improved signing for Cristo Rey Drive on Foothill Boulevard and that the Santa Clara County Park and Recreation Department is intending to install a park directional sign on Foothill Boulevard. Existing Use and Management Recommendations 1 . The proposed County Park sign to be installed at Cristo Rey Drive on Foothill Boulevard should include the word "Preserve" . If that is not possible, staff will return with an assess- ment of the adequacy of the new street signing. Status: The County agreed to include the word "Preserve" on the sign, and it is currently on order. 2 . A trail sign indicating the direction of the Preserve entrance should be installed in the area of the parking lots on the County Park. Status: Provisions for complementary signing would be included in the formal joint management agreement which is currently under consideration. R-83-40 Page three 2. At your meeting of February 24 , 1982 (see memorandum M-82-22, dated February 8, 1982) , you concurred with the design of the proposed County Park bridge and agreed that road easements be exchanged between the County and District. Staff is to return to the Board with plans outlining the final appearance of the bridge. In addition, you recommended the District invite the Cities of Mountain View and Los Altos to parti- cipate in the joint planning process for the Preserve, the County Park, and Deer Hollow Farm when the County is ready to begin its planning. Status,: At your meeting of July 28 , 1982 you concurred with the final design of the proposed bridge. The bridge has received funding in the County budget for FY 1983-84 and will be constructed as soon as an exchange of easements is com- pleted. The County is in the process of drafting the ease- ment description which will be presented to you for your acceptance. The County has been informed of the District's interest in joint planning with the District and cities of Mountain View and Los Altos when the County is ready to proceed with site planning. 3 . The County has requested that the pipe gate at the St. Joseph Avenue entrance to the park be locked at night, starting in November 1982 . Staff concurs with this and believes it will deter much of the off-hours use of the site. District Rangers will assist in opening and closing this gate as they do on the main County Park entrance gate. Status: The gate has been locked during the night hours since November 1982, and night use on the Preserve has been substantially reduced. 4 . Staff will investigate an alignment for an equestrian/hiker trail which would connect the Mora Drive trail to the east end of the Preserve and the County' s equestrian parking lot. Members of the Trails Council will be asked to participate in this planning. Status: The Peninsula Open Space Trust has indicated an interest in fundraising for this project. If this is not possible within the next nine months, planning should pro- ceed and funding made available in FY 84-85 budget preparation. Preliminary cost is estimated at $3000 . 5 . As the use of the Preserve increases, it is becoming apparent that additional security will be required at Deer Hollow Farm. The City of Mountain View and District staffs will investi- gate fencing and/or alternative trail routes which could allow closure of the farm during specified times . Status: Fencing and/or alternative trail routes continue to be investigated by the District and the City of Mountain View. Beginning this month, the City will be attempting to close the farm on Mondays to allow for otherwise difficult main- tenance projects to be conducted. It is hoped closure can be accomplished with a signing program to inform visitors of the new policy. New Use and Management Recommendations 1 . The orchard at Deer Hollow Farm and road adjacent to the orchard have suffered from drainage problems since the heavy winter storms. A spring above the orchard has kept R-83-40 Page two II. Planning Considerations Use and management of the Preserve is closely linked with activities on the adjacent County Park and Deer Hollow Farm. Joint planning for these facilities is essential to insure proper use and manage- ment of the entire area. A meeting has been held between staffs of the County Parks Depart- ment and District to discuss the status of various cooperative planning and management projects . In respect to Rancho San Antonio Park and Preserve, the focus of the discussion was related to 1) current management problems and the development of a formal joint management agreement, 2) progress of bridge construction and exchange of easements, and 3) joint planning for newer areas of the Park involving the District, City of Mountain View, and City of Los Altos . III. Use and Management Recommendations The following use and management recommendations include existing recommendations contained in the last review (report R-82-43) , the final adoption of that review (memorandum M-82-124) , the report on roadside signing (memorandum M-83-58) , and new recommendations now being proposed. A. Access and Circulation Roads and trails on the Preserve suffered extensive storm damage during the winter of 1982-83 . Repairs were made as soon as possible to re-open the trails; however, some of the repairs were temporary and are in need of additional work. The areas most affected are the main patrol road passing through Deer Hollow Farm, Wildcat Canyon Loop Trail , and the connecting trail between Ravensbury and Mora Drive. Repair costs to date are approximately $4 ,045. On April 27 , 1983 you adopted Resolution 83-10 authorizing the General Manager to seek federal disaster assistance funds to aid in the repair of various storm damage projects. The District received $3,692 from this program for repairs to trails at the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve. This amounted to 75% of the total requested amount for this site. Earlier this month, an emergency3epair at a cost of $400 was completed on the bridge entering the Deer Hollow Farm area. Since this is the main trail and patrol route, the project received high priority and measures were immediately taken to insure safety. Additional work will have to be completed within the upcoming year. Last month, the pedestrian bridge adjacent to the permit parking area was crushed beneath two fallen trees. The bridge was repaired at a cost of $400. Existing Use and Management 1 . Five hundred feet of trail between the Mora Drive gate and Ravensbury Trail will be realigned. Volunteer assistance will be sought. Status: Realignment of the trail has been postponed until spring,, 1984 . Trail work during the past eight months has centered around repairs of storm damage, including a washout on this trail . A culvert was installed in April at a cost of $125 . Cost of trail realignment is estimated at $750 and is included in current budget.

Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager; D. Woods, Open Space Planner; M. Gundert, Associate Open Space Planner SUBJECT: Use and Management Plan for Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve Introduction: The use and management plan for Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve was last reviewed at your November 10, 1982 meeting (see report R-82-43 , dated November 5 , 1982) , and received final adoption on December 8 , 1982 (see memorandum M-82-124 , dated November 30 , 1982) . In accordance with the final adoption of the Relative Site Emphasis Plan Review Schedule, Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve is a highly emphasized site and as such will most likely continue to be reviewed on an annual basis. I . Site Description and Use The Preserve is comprised of 592 contiguous acres located adjacent to the Rancho San Antonio County Park in the Los Altos-Cupertino foothills . There have been no additions to the Preserve since the time of the last review. A physical description of the site is con- tained in the November 10 , 1982 review. Use of the Preserve remains at a high level with visitors to the site being comprised primarily of hikers, runners , equestrians, and parti- cipants in the environmental education programs offered by the City of Mountain View and Environmental Volunteers . Use of the Preserve has increased since the site was last reviewed according to recent estimates made by the Ranger staff . Average weekly use of the Pre- serve by hikers and runners is estimated at 4000, comprised of 1000 visits per day on weekends and 400 per day on weekdays . Average equestrian use of the Preserve is estimated at 25 visitors per weekend day and 12 per day midweek. The winter storms caused considerable damage to many of the trails and collapsed a structure at Deer Hollow Farm. Some trails, in- cluding the most popular Wildcat Canyon Trail , were closed for approximately a month. There have been occasional short term trail closures this summer due to a large number of trees falling across trails .

Britton, Assistant General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: W. Tannenbaum, Real Property Representative; D. Hansen, Land Manager; D. Woods, Open Space Planner; M. Gundert, Associate Open Space Planner SUBJECT: Proposed Addition to Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve - Mt. Umunhum Area (McCoy Property) Introduction: The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has been offered the opportunity to purchase approximately 60 acres of land located east of Highway 17 in an unincorporated area of Santa Clara County. The property is situated east of Mt. Umunhum between the peaks of Mt. Umunhum and Bald Mountain. The property consists of two north-facing ridges overlooking the Almaden Valley and southern San Jose. A. Description of the Site. 1. Size, Location and Boundaries . This 60 acre property is located south of the City of San Jose and is bounded by private property on all four sides (see attached map) . Located outside the Dis- trict' s boundary but within the District' s Sphere of Influence, the property is also within the Sphere of Influence of the City of San Jose. Loma Almaden (Mt. Umunhum) Road cuts through the southeast corner of the property. The property is approximately 23� miles southwest of the intersec- tion of Loma Almaden Road and Hicks Road. The summit of Mt. Umun- hum is one-third mile due west of the property. 2. Topography, Geology and Natural Landscape. The property is com- prised of several north-facing ridges and intervening canyons. The southern portion of the site nearest Loma Almaden Road is moderately sloped with several level grassy areas. The northern reaches of the site are much steeper; an intermittent tributary to Guadalupe Creek is located in the northeastern corner of the site. Elevations range from 2600 feet along the southern border to approximately 2100 feet to the north. R-83-39 Page Two Vegetation on the property is characteristic of this region of the Santa Cruz Mountains (Sierra Azul) . Chaparral communities of manzanita, ceanothus, chamis , and an occasional knob cone pine (Pinus Attenuatta) predominate the dry hot slopes of the ridges with several grassy meadows on the level areas of the site. Nearly pure stands of bay laurel trees line the trails at the southern area of the site. B. Current Use and Development. The property has an extensive road and trail network for its relatively small size. There are two access roads to the site from Loma Almaden Road. The easternmost access road enters the property in the southeastern corner, and is aligned diagonally across the site to the northwest corner. This road eventually connects with the El Sombroso trail network and on to the Kennedy Road area of the Preserve. The road provides easement access to six parcels beyond this site. A road maintenance and use agree- ment exists between the six parcel owners and current owner of the property. A 3. 57 percent share of the costs is associated with the proposed acquisition. This amounted to a cost of $32 when the road was last graded in 1980. The second access to the site is an easement across the adjoining property entering the southwest corner of the site from Loma Almaden Road. The road winds through the site, eventually joining the aforementioned road at its junction with Loma Almaden Road. Two small trails branch from the road and wind through the property to the northwest corner. Two small sheds are located on the site, one of which has collapsed. The sheds are located in the southern part of the site. Other improvements on the site are a well, metal holding tank, and an uncovered 2 foot by 4 foot telephone box. C. Planning Considerations. The property is zoned Hillside by the County of Santa Clara, which requires a 20 to 160 acre minimum lot size per dwelling unit based upon a slope density formula. The site would be one building site. The site is currently under a Williamson Act agricultural contract which, according to the Government Code, would be terminated upon acquisition by a public agency. Open space use of the land is in conformance with the General Plans of the County of Santa Clara and the City of San Jose. The site did not receive a rating in the District 's Master Plan since it lies outside the District boundaries. D. Potential Use and Management. The site should be managed as a natural area and be open to hikers and equestrians gaining access from Loma Almaden Road and adjoining properties. Parking for 2 to 3 cars is available at a roadside turnout adjacent to the eastern access road. R-83-39 Page Three E. Interim Use and Management Recommendations. 1. The standing and collapsed sheds and holding tank should be removed from the site, and the disturbed area returned to a natural state. 2. The gate located at the property line on the southwest access road should be replaced with a District pipe gate. The cost is estimated at $1000. 3. The maintenance and use agreement for the eastern access road should be continued with the District and six involved parties. 4. Boundary plaques should be installed where appropriate. The cost is estimated at $30. 5. Staff should request the telephone company to place a cover on its equipment box. 6. The well on the site should be secured. F. Dedication. This property should be withheld from dedication as public open space to allow for future transfer of development rights or other property rights or to allow for trade if advisable. G. Naming. This property should become an addition to the Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve - Mt. Umunhum Area. H. Terms. The total purchase price stipulated in the attached Purchase Agreement will be $72 ,000 payable in cash at the close of escrow. On a per acre basis this figure represents a payment of $1200 per acre. Market indications and staff estimates place the value of the subject property at well in excess of $1200 per acre. Hence, this parcel would be acquired on a bargain sale basis. Funds for this purchase would come from the Opportunity Purchases Budget category. Recommendation: I recommend you adopt the accompanying Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Authorizing Acceptance of Agreement to Purchase Real Property - Bargain Sale, Authorizing Officer to Execute Certificate of Acceptance of Grant to District, and Authorizing General Manager to Execute Any and All Other Documents Necessary to Closing of the Transaction (Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve - McCoy Property) . I further recommend you tentatively adopt the interim use and management recommendations contained in this report, including the naming, and that you indicate yourintention to withhold the property from dedication.

As you know, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has now acquired the adjacent Hassler property and is in the process of restoring and maintaining that site as public open space in perpetuity. We are interested in maintaining not only the integrity of the District's Hassler property, but also the current open space quality of the Benedetti lands, which we regard as an integral part of the total landscape unit in this area. I have attached copies of two previous District letters to Mr. Neal Martin and the Planning Commission on the subject property which commented on our concerns with the impacts of this plan. The overall site development density remains far too high in our judgment, especially on the chaparral covered ridges on the southwestern half of the site. The overall visual and physical impact of this development would be immense on the open space lands to the west and south. All of the lands designated as undeveloped should be dedicated in perpetuity as open space. The District would be willing to accept title to those dedicated lands running from the southwestern corner of the property up to the emergency access road coming off Brittan Drive. This is a natural extension of the District lands to the south and east. Any other remaining open space should be retained by the city or held and maintained by a homeowners ' organization formed for the new development. A public pedestrian easement should be dedicated over the emergency access road. We would like to request as well that a small 5-10 car parking area for local neighborhood use be developed at or near the end of Brittan Drive for those hikers to park and enter to utilize the open space and to follow a future trail descending from the emergency road down the riparian corridor to the Hassler property. Protection of the watershed area during and after construction Herbert A.Grench.General Manager Board of Directors:Katherine Dulty,Barbara Green,Nonette G.Hanko,Richard S.Bishop,Edward G.Shelley.Harry k Turner.Daniel G.Wendin Page two I is also of primary concern to the District and could be accom- plished by constructing water impoundments on the subject property (above proposed public open space) to trap sediment. Maintenance of those impoundment- areas should again be carried out through the C.C.&R.s by a local homeowners ' organization. All perimeter landscaping around the proposed development should be appropriate native plants which should also offer some degree of fire protection as well as softening the impacts of the development and make a transition from the adjacent natural landscape. This may be difficult, however, in any areas approved for development which are on shallow-soiled chaparral covered slopes. f Thank you for considering our requests and concerns on this project.

As you know, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District is actively pursuing the acquisition of the adjacent Hassler Health Home property and is therefore particu- lar) interested in the impact of the Benedetti project on the Y P h future open space preserve. We have some comments on hydrology gy and drainage and on vegetation and wildlife, specifically as d these matters affect the Hassler property, an on potential public trails and impacts as follows: A. Hydrology and Drainage While this section mentions the plan to fund a study of the capacity of Cordilleras Creek with recommendations for im- provements, the findings of this study should be incorporated into the planning and decisi on-making for the project. P g g P 7 The site should also be evaluated for debris flow potential, such as that which occurred elsewhere in the Bay area in January 1982, and the effect of development on increasing that potential. Slope failure and debris avalanches would threaten the adjacent Hassler property and the Canyon Hospital, which lie directly downstream in the Cordilleras Creek drainage. There are now accurate methods for predicting debris flow potential (given the right rainfall conditions) as well as methods for diminishing the hazards. B. Vegetation and Wildlife The project would create a "blockade" of development across the present corridor of wildland which extends from San Francisco watershed lands (Game Refuge) through Benedetti and Hassler properties, and Edgewood County Park. As mitigation, the DEIR recommends building an 8 foot high cyclone fence with a 2 foot by 2 foot hole for wildlife in the western corner, away from the proposed residential areas. Herbert A.Grench.General Manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duly,Barbara Green,Nonette G.Hanko,Richard S Bishop.Edward G Shelley.Harry A Turner.Daniel G.Wendin Page two considerably narrow the existing wildlife This fence would cons y g � corridor, funneling animals very close to Interstate 280. Wildlife on the undeveloped Benedetti lands would not be protected from disturbance by pets and residents. Fencing off the entire undeveloped portion of Benedetti may be a better solution and would leave a larger corridor and reduce the project's impacts on wildlife. C. Potential Public Trails and Impacts No mention is made of potential trail connections from the Hassler development to the adjacentproperty, which will become public open space when acquired by the District. The District feels very strongly about the following general issues raised by this proposed development and its specific impacts: 1. All the mitigation measures suggested by the consultant should be required in approval of the plan. I 2. The proposed density is too high for the location and would detract from the open space quality of adjacent lands, such as Hassler. There should be a gradual tran- sition from the dense development around Crestview Drive, through Benedetti to Hassler. Both the Benedetti and Hassler properties were envisioned as open space in the San Carlos long range plan, so high density housing for Benedetti would represent a radical change. 3. The people of San Carlos cared enough about open space values to assess themselves to help pay for the Hassler property. The development as proposed. would detract from and, in fact, partially defeat what they are trying to accomplish. I Please let us know if you need any further clarification of the points we have raised. i Sincerely, Herbert Grench General Manager HG:jc cc: Richard Bishop, Director MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT 375 DISTEL CIRCLE,SUITE 0-1.LOS ALTOS,CALIFORNIA 94022 (415)965-4717 April 26 , 1982 Mr. Neal J. Martin Director of Planning San Carlos Planning Department City of San Carlos 666 Elm Street San Carlos, CA 94070 Re: Benedetti Development Proposal: Potential EIR Topics Dear Mr. Martin: We have received your Notice of Preparation of March 23, 1982 inviting us to comment on the proposed EIR. The lands of Benedetti are surrounded on three sides by undeveloped open space areas - San Francisco watershed lands to the north and west, and the Hassler Health Home property to the south. To- gether with San Mateo County's Edgewooa Park to the south of Hassler, these prime rolling foothill lands form a continuous greenbelt and wildlife corridor adjacent to the urban areas of San Carlos and 'Aedwood City. The proposed development would cut into this open space corridor and have significant impact on its vegetation, wildlife, soils, water quality, drainage, and natural visual amenities. Although the information currently provided does not specify the location of the proposed 149 housing units, the top of the ridge and the small flat at t'he end of Brittan Avenue are the only developable parts of .the property. The rest is a steep southeast facing bowl, densely covered with chaparral and oak, with streams draining down through the eastern side to the Hassler property. Soils are unstable and prone to landslides, and a minor fault runs through the property. All these elements would be impacted by potential development. Densely clustered three story units built along the scenic ridgeline would impact one of the highest and most visible points in the area. The Midpeninsula Regional open Space District would like the Environmental Impact Report to address these impacts and any other impacts related to the contiguous wildlands. We are particularly concerned with the project's potential impact on the 293 acre Hassler property. In January 1982, the District adopted a Resolution of Public Necessity to acquire this property from the City of San Francisco. The District plans to demolish Herbert A.Grench.General manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy.Barbara Green,Nonette G.Hanko,Richard S.Bishop.Ednard G.Shelley.Harry&Turner.Daniel G weendin Page two the existing buildings, revegetate the developed area, and make the property an open space preserve. , This action was supported by the local neighborhoods through their formation of an assess- ment district to aid in the acquisition of this property. We would be interested in reviewing the draft EIR when it is available. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the project at this time. Please contact Alice Watt in our office if you need further clarification of our concerns. Sin ly, *L. raig Britton Assistant General Manager LCB:ic cc: Joe Judge Fred Endicott Paul Benchener A. V MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT 375 DISTEL CIRCLE,SUITE D-1,LOS ALTOS,CALIFORNIA 94022 (415)965-4717 September 19, 1983 Honorable George Deukmejian Governor, State of California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Deukmejian: Assembly Bill 555 relating to hazardous recreational activities by Assemblyman Campbell has been passed by the Legislature and is before you for consideration. In order to continue to provide traditional parks and recreation services, public agencies need to have restored some of the tort immunity which has been eroded by court decisions over the last few years. The problem is particularly true nowadays when so many plaintiffs and legal counsel see the agencies as having "deep pockets" , but in reality our pockets are almost empty. In our particular case tree climbing, swimming where lifeguards are not provided, and hang gliding are examples of hazardous recreational activities. On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, I respectfully urge you to sign AB 555.

Following are staff responses to your concerns. With respect to the amount of area affectiedp � thequarry operation, the area leased to the Dempseys is approximatefy„ten ac es otal and the amount that will be ultimately disturbed is about 40 acres. At present, approximately ten acres are disturbed, which includes the equipment area as well as the exca- vated area. In the next five years, approximately two additional acres will be disturbed. In response to the concern of haphazard surface disturbance during the life of the quarry, the consultant, Peter Twight, will establish physical limits in order to restrict surface disturbance to specific areas over the next five years. It would be difficult to establish limits more frequently because the small size of the operation keeps growth of the site at a minimum (two acres over the next five years) . The recommendation that partial reclamation should be required of any areas which are phased out of operation permanently has been added as a condition of the permit. It should be stressed, however, that since all excavations will be used until the final quarry floor and slope have been established, the likelihood that early reclamation will take place on some parts of the quarry is small. In terms of the request for strict enforcement of hauling limitations on weekends and holidays, the County will act as an enforcer as complaints are received. i Finally, in response to the request to increase the $1000 bond for performance upon abandonment of the site. The combination of these two bonds should re- sult in a properly cleaned up and reclaimed site after the quarrying operation has ceased. Parenthetically, the above amounts are increased with each review to correspond with the Consumer Price Index for the Bay Area. Once again, thank you for your evaluation of the project. i Sincerely, David C.

Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Board Assignment to Dog Committee At your meeting of September 14, 1983 a request was made of staff to send the Board' s charge to the Committee. The original charge to the Committee of May 10, 1978 was "to study the question of whether dogs should or should not be allowed on District lands, and report back to the full Board when the study is completed. " The Dog Committee 's report dated January 25, 1983 and considered at your February 23 meeting satisfied the basic assignment. Recommendations 5 and 6 of the Dog Committee 's report said: "5 . The committee be directed to continue studying the subjects of dog obedience, field, and search and rescue trainings as to availability of areas for these different types of training needs and as to compatibility with other District preserve uses. "6 . The committee agrees to monitor the program during the one-year trial period, review staff evaluation at completion of the trial period, and report to the Board as to the program's effectiveness. " The recommendations were not specifically acted upon. Although number 6 was not adopted, staff will be reporting to the full Board at the end of the trial period. On March 23 in considering the Test Program to Allow Dogs on Select Preserves (see memorandum M-83-34 dated March 16 , 1983) , President Green stated your "consensus that the Dog Committee should address the issue of special dog training uses on District preserves, " and Director Hanko "requested the minutes indicate the Dog Committee was to address the subject of tracking. " The test program was adopted on April 13 with no further charge to the Committee. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - --- C- -ns 83-18 M ing 83-24 September 28, 1983 MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT C L A I M S # Amount Name Description 15626 $ 12.40 Amerigas oxygen/Acetylene Tank Rental' 15627 71. 75 Barron Park Supply Co.
