Thomas Kavanaugh, 1726 Spring Street, Mountain View asked when the Board intends to implement the new State law regarding the Brown Act. H.

Proposed Addition to the Windy Hill Open Space Preserve (Martin Property) C. Britton, referring to report R-84-54 dated December 13 , 1984 , stated that the purchase price for the 3 . 3 acres is $100, 000 and is considered to be at the lower end of the value range based on real estate sales in the area. Herbert A.Grench,General manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Nonette G.Hanko,Teena Henshaw,Richard S.Bishop,Edward G.SreVey,Harry A.Turner.Daniel G.Wendin Meeting 84-28 Page two D. Hansen said that the acquisition will give the District flexibility in trails planning and that the District will work with the Town of Portola Valley in developing the trails plan. T. Kavanaugh asked if Portola Valley will be participating in purchasinc the property. C. Britton responded that the acquisition is not high in the Town' s priorities, and the Town will not be participating. Motion: H. Turner moved that the Board adopt Resolution 84-56, a Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeningula Regional Open Space District Authorizing Acceptance of Purchase Agreement, 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 (Windy Hill Open Space Preserve-- Lands of Martin) . N. Hanko seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. Motion: H. Turner moved that the Board tentatively adopt the use and management recommendations contained in report R-84-54, in- cluding naming the property as an addition to the Windy Hill Open Space Preserve, and indicate its intention to dedicate the property as public open space. N. Hanko seconded the motion. The motion pased 7 to 0. B. Proposed Addition to Coal' Creek Operi Space Preserve (Hybl Property) C. Britton summarized report R- 4-53 dated December 13, 1984, noting that a voluntary settlement had been reached with the property owner and that the final terms of purchase will be by stipulated judgment. He said that a $208 , 000 deposit was made and that Board approval was necessary for an additional $17 , 000 to make up the difference between the deposit and the $225, 000 arrived at by mutual consent as a fair price. D. Hansen reviewed the status of the use and management plan for the site which had been considered by the Board at its January 25, 1984 meeting. Discussion centered on notification of adjoining owners who had been notified when the Board had adopted a Resolution of Public Necessity to acquire the property. R. Bishop suggested that, since this action is very much like a new purchase, adjoining landowners should be re- notified and the final adoption of the interim use and management plan be held over until after the notification. D. Wendin added that the spirit of the Rules of Procedure would require another notification of adjoining owners. Motion: D. Wendin moved that the Board authorize expenditure of an additional $17 ,000 for acquisition of the Hybl property. E. Shelley seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. Motion: D. Wendin moved that the Board tentatively adopt the use and management recommendations contained in report R-84-53, tentatively name the site as an addition to Coal Creek Open Space Preserve, and indicate its intention to dedicate the parcel as public open space. H. Turner seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. I Meeting 84-28 Page three Motion: R. Bishop moved that the Board approve the settlement df the lawsuit involving the Hybl property for $225, 000 and authorize staff and counsel to enter into a stipulated judg- ment for the acquisition of the property. H. Turner seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. C. Annual Review of Relative Site Emphasis Plan and Use and Management Plan Review Schedule D. Hansen summarized report R-84-55 dated December 13, 1984, noting that the format includes current plans and proposed changes. He said Purisima Creek Open Space Preserve had been moved up in rank due to significant additions to the Preserve and that La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve had been added but is not highly emphasized. major emphasis of the Plan would include recreational development at Skyline Ridge, Purisima Creek Redwoods, Kennedy Road Area, and, to a lesser degree, Los Gatos Creek, San Mateo County Baylands, Hassler, and Long Ridge Open Space Preserves. D. Woods explained the legends used in the chart and funding priorities for each Preserve. There was some discussion about whether to move Hassler to a higher priority. H. Turner asked staff to evaluate moving the Preserve to a higher position, but subsequently withdrew the request when his ques- tions were answered. H. Turner suggested that staff look for outside leadership to restore the windmill at Windmill Pasture. H. Grench noted that staff had looked for an individual to lead such a group effort. D. Wendin stated the Board's wish that staff provide explanations of the Special Projects on the Site Emphasis Chart. Motion: N. Hanko moved that the Board tentatively adopt the revised Relative Site Emphasis Plan and the 1985 Use and Management Plan Review Schedule as contained in report R-84-55 and amended at the meeting. R. Bishop seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. VI. CLAIMS Motion: E. Shelley moved that the Board approve revised claims 84-23. T. Henshaw seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. VII.

Herbert A Grench,General Manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Nonette G.Hanko,Teena Henshaw,Richard S.B,shco,Edward G.Shelley,Many A.Turner,Daniel G.Wendin Meeting 84-27 Page 2 V. ADOPTION OF AGENDA D. Wendin stated that the agenda was adopted by Board consensus. VI. SPECIAL ORDERS OF THE DAY A. Declaration of Election Results and Administration of Oath of Office E. Johnson, ref-erring to memorandum M-84-104 dated December 5, 1984 stated that Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties had forwarded official results of the election and that the Board was required to declare Directors Henshaw, Shelley, and Bishop elected Directors for their respective wards. Motion: H. Turner moved that the Board declare T. Henshaw, E. Shelley, and R. Bishop as elected to the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. D. Wendin seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. The Oath of Office was administered by the Acting District Clerk. VII. NEW BUSINESS WITH NO ACTION REQUESTED A. Governmental Research Council Report H. Grench reviewed memorandum M-84-102 dated December 3 , 1984 and then introduced Robert Marks, Executive Director of the Governmental Re-: ! search Council of San Mateo. R. Marks explained that the Council has studied and worked with govern- mental agencies for 25 years. He expressed his appreciation for the time, materials provided, and cooperation given by the District's General Manager during the study. He also thanked Directors Bishop and Turner for participating in the interviews and apologized to Direc- tor Hanko for being overlooked. His comments focused on four of the Council ' s recommendations to the Board: 1) cooperation between the District and its neighbors to make areas more attractive; 2) annual meetings for planning purposes between the District and cities and counties, giving staffs and elected officials an opportunity for input and giving the public of the area a greater opportunity to give direction to the District; 3) joint budget sessions with San Mateo County leading to greater efficiency; and 4) an extensive survey of the public to determine what kind and how much development of District lands is desired. Board members discussed with Mr. Marks the misconceptions that exist among some organizations and individuals about the District' s purpose and charter, that it is not like the East Bay Regional Park District which the Research Council had used as an examole or model because the East Bay Regional Park District is a park district for two counties and because there is a division of responsibility between parks and recreation departments and the open space district in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. E. Shelley added his concurrence to other Directors when he reiterated that a number of the Council ' s recommendations are already being done and it may be just the degree of emphasis and speed with which the District is proceeding that differs from the recommendations. He mentioned the formulation of a master plan for the development of Sky- line Ridge Open Space Preserve, cooperation with the City of Mountain View at Deer Hollow Farm, and work by a committee to,..;ard achievina public transporation to District preserves. Meet-ing '84-27 page 3 a member of the Public Transporation Committee, invited the ;,7---pC ' s help in achieving that goal . To the Councils recommendation that the District conduct a public poll, several Board members responded that the poll would have to be care-fully constructed to get valid answers that would be useful to the District. K. Duffy said it would have to be done in conjunction with other park and recreation agencies because of the division of responsibility between the two kinds of entities. Gloria Sarin, 1344 Stambaugh Street, Redwood City, a recreation- leisure study graduate from San Jose State suggested leaving the land alone to balance the developed land and high tech that is prevalent in the area. She noted that intensive recreation is available elsewhere in our communities and that open space is for re-creating. D. Wendin thanked Mr. Marks for his presentation on behalf of the Board. R. Bishop noted the presence of Connie Barba and welcomed her to the meeting. VIII. OLD BUSINESS WITH ACTION REQUESTED A. Final Adoption of Revised Use and Management Plan for Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve D. Hansen sum-narized memorandum M-84-106 dated December 5, 1984. He said that no further public comments had been received on the use and management plan and that an overview of the Master Plan had been prepared to show how District and POST policies relate to the alterna- tives and proposals under consideration. D. Woods noted that t staff had added comments to the considerations in Table II attached to the report which could generate Board discussion. Discussion centered on how the Board should respond to the Management Options Analysis. Board members concurred that the Board should not inject itself into the planning process for the Master Plan and that it was inappropriate to establish a Board position at the present time. H. Grench noted that the next stage of developing the Master Plan is development of a draft plan by the Consultant for public and Board review, that there is concern that 2-M may proceed on one specific plan which may be unacceptable to the Board, and that therefore some feedback from the Board was desirable. D. Wendin expressed the consensus of the Board that individual members be free to comment through staff on the options but that comments should not be construed as endorsements. He re-stated that the Board could serve as a seven member resource to the consultant. Motion: E. Shelley moved that the Board receive the report for informational purposes only and refer it to the consultant. K. Duffy seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. Motion: E. Shelley moved that the Board adopt the Revised Use and Management Plan for Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve as contained in report R-84-51. H. Turner seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. R. Bishop wanted the record to show that the Board action was for the present use and management for Skyline and was independent from the planning being done by the District consultant. Meeting 84-27 page 4 B. Final Adoption of Interim Use and Management Plan for Addition to Wind- Hill 0--en Space Preserve (Lands of Fiore) D. Hansen su-moiarized memorandum M-84-101 dated November 30, 1984 noting that no further public comment had been received and that escrow had closed on the property. Motion: R. Bishop moved that the Board adopt the interim use and management plan contained in report R-84-44 and dedicated the property as public open space. H. Turner seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. C. Los Gatos Creek Park Fence Bid D. Hansen, referring to memorandum M-84-105 dated December 5, 1984, stated that staff and District consultants had discussed the fencing project with several local fencing companies, but none had bid in the second round except Central Fence Company. He said that the second bid did not decline from the first due to labor intensive methods required to drive fence posts by hand rather than digging holes and pouring cement. The Company indicated that the cost could be lowered if access to the job were possible through the adjacent Sisters of Charity property. Motion: D. Wendin moved that the Board accept the $116,250 bid from Central Fence Company to complete the fence at Los Gatos Creek Park, authorize the General Manager to sign the contract, and authorize a change order to reduce construction cost by $1. 20/lineal foot (or a total of $6936) by allowing Central Fence to enter the property from the Sisters of Charity pro- perty, if feasible. N. Hanko seconded the notion. The motion passed 7 to 0. IX. NEW BUSINESS WITH ACTION REQUESTED A. Proposed Addition to the Mt. Umunhum Area of the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve (Barlow Property) W. Tannenbaum summarized report R-84-52 dated December 5, 1984 and pointed out the location of the 120 acre site on the map. He said that the cost of $833 per acre represents a favorable purchase price. D. Hansen stated that the property has three geographic areas and landscapes and that the ridgetop will offer potential parking site. He continued that access is via Mt. Umunhum Road and that the existing roads and trails should be open to hikers and equestrians. Motion: K. Duffy moved that the Board adopt resolution 84-49, a Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Authorizing Acceptance of Purchase Agreement - 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 (Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve Barlow Property) . N. Hanko, seconded the motion. Discussion: Tom Kavanaugh, 1726 Spring Street, Mountain View ash how much of the property is outside the District, and D. Hansen replied that 40 acres are outside the District boundaries. N. Hanko added that it is all within the Dis- trict ' s Sphere of Influence. The motion passed 7 to 0. Meeting 84-27 page 5 Mot_:cn: K. Du-_1"_-Fv moved that the Board indicate its intention to with- hold the property from dedication at this time and tenta- tively adopt the Interim Use and Management Plan reco=, .enda- tions contained in the report. H. Turner seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. B. Rescheduling of Second December _.Meeting H. Grench su=,arized memorandum M-84-100 dated December 3, 1984 . He said that a second meeting in December is advisable. .Motion: H. Turner moved that the Board reschedule its second Regular Meeting in December from December 26 to December 19 at 7 :30 P .M. T. Henshaw seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. X. INFORMATIONAL REPORTS D. Hansen reported that a field trip to Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve was attended by 35 people. T. Henshaw added that participants were in all age groups. D. Hansen noted that 3 Preserve users had been bitten by dogs at High Meadow Stable, that the horse population was down from 57 to 23 and that the owner is not getting rid of manure as quickly as required. District staff has been looking at alternate stable sites and will report back to the Board. D. Hansen said that Brendan Leary, track coach at Mountain View High School had met with Rangers and is helping staff to formulate an etiquette bro- chure for runners . Mr. Leary will conduct voluntary monitoring sessions of runners. T. Henshaw volunteered to work with the runners on the eti- quette brochure. C. MacDonald pointed out the new portable District display in the lobby and said it could be set up in many different configurations and at different locations in public buildings. XI. CLAIMS Motion: N. Hanko moved that the Board approve revised claims 84-22. T. Henshaw seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. XII.

Wetland Buffer Zone are lands bordering marshes which protect wetland species from human disturbance and provide habitat for marsh wildlife during periods of high water. Because wetland buffer zones are an integral part of wetland habitat, we advocate the protection of such areas when development projects are permitted near a wetland. 2. Bond Act Monies. Proposition 18 with $370 million and Proposition 19 with $85 million, both passed in the June 1984 California primary election provide a significant opportunity for the state to invest in the health and productivity of bay area wetlands. We encourage the state to maintain wetlands restoration and acquisition as one of their most important priorities in the expenditure of these monies within the bay area. 3. Enforcement. Strict enforcement of existing wetlands statutes such as Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the federal Rivers and Harbors Act is essential to the preservation of bay area wetlands. We call upon the Army Corps of Engineers, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Regional Water Quality Control Board to provide adequate funding for wetlands enforcement and to move rapidly in issuing citations and prosecuting violations of these important wetland laws. 4. Marsh Restoration is a viable and valuable means for repairing previous damage to wetlands. It is our policy to actively search out and identify those sites suitable for restoration and to strongly support such efforts. 5. Mitigation for wetland loss is only acceptable if there is no net loss of wetland acreage, Mitigation acreage is of equivalent habitat value, and mitigation is accomplished within the same drainage basin as the proposed development or at least within the same county.. Monitoring and enforcement of mitigation to insure project success shall be done on a six month basis for ten years 'after the development is completed. 6. Salt Ponds are historic baylands* which have been diked and developed to function as evaporation sites in the commercial production of salt. Numberous species of waterbirds have grown to favor these created environments over surrounding baylands of lower salinities. We urge that local and regional agencies, particularly BCDC, recognize the important habitat values of salt ponds and work to protect them as working salt producers or as wildlife habitat. 7. Seasonal Wetlands are areas which become saturated or inundated during the winter. These include diked historic wetlands now used in agriculture which often flood during the rainy season. Seasonal wetlands provide an important habitat for migratory wildlife in the Bay Area. Because seasonal wetlands are an essential part of the total Bay Area wetland resource, we urge their retention and protection. 8. Water. The quality and quantity of water flowing into S.F. Bay determines the overall character and the health of the bay wetlands ecosystem. We advocate that water quality and quantity standards which protect the ecological values of S.F. Bay be established. We urge the State Legislature to establish and maintain programs to monitor bay water quality with specific emphasis on urban/industrial toxic substances and chemicals contained in agricultural drain water. R-85-02 (Meeting 85-01 January 9 , 1985) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT REPORT January 4 , 1985 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager; M. Gundert, Associate Open Space Planner 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 undedi- cated 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 11 , 1984 meeting (see report R-84-03 , dated January 4 , 1984) . 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 , but only after the necessary planning, boundary adjustments , provision for permanent access and other changes in config- uration, 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 plan- ning process , and any change in dedication status occurs at that time. Discussion: The attached Table A summarizes the dedication status of all District lands by preserve and planning area. Table B is a listing of the dedication status of lands acquired since December 31 , 1983 , and Table C is a listing of current undedicated parcels and an explanation of their undedicated status . In 1984 , 3015 acres of land were acquired, bringing the total number of acres in fee title land held by the District up to 16 ,973 . In addition to this figure, the District acquired 178 acres of lesser interests in land in the form of open space and trail easements. The total number of acres of easements held by the District is 1563 . Included in these to- tals are pending purchases , including 58 acres at Mt. Umunhum and the 15 acre Hybl acquisition. In the easement category, there are a total of 102 acres pending (34 acres - Mt. Umunhum purchase, 68 acres - Guen- ther, Lohr) . The District ' s total open space, including the pending acquisition, is 18 ,609 acres . Of the 16 ,973 acre total , 14 ,015 acres are dedicated (834) , and 2, 958 acres are undedicated (170) . Most of the undedicated acreage is in the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve. Undedicated parcels of land are re- viewed for a status change at the time of use and management review. During 1984 , no parcels previously undedicated were dedicated at the Page 2 R-85-02 time of use and management review. Parcels of land which are currently undedicated and should probably be considered for dedication status at the time of use and management re- view include the former properties of Catalano, Rose and Fernandez . Additionally, the District 's open space easement obtained as part of the District 's 50% share of the acquisition price of the Edgewood property should certainly be considered for dedication. Recommendation: I recommend that you review and accept this report and attached summation of the dedication status of District lands .

Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager; D. Woods, Open Space Planner SUBJECT: Adoption of New Relative Site Emphasis Plan and Use and Management Plan Review Schedule Introduction: The annual review of the Relative Site Emphasis Plan and Use and Management Review Schedule was presented to you at your December 19 , 1984 meeting (see report R-84-55 dated December 13 , 1984) . You tentatively adopted the Plan and Schedule and asked that the Plan include an explanation of the special projects . Discussion: The attached Plan for Relative Site Emphasis reflects all the proposed changes which were discussed at your meeting of Decem- ber 19 , 1984 . On the right side of the Funding/Staffing Priorities chart staff has indicated more specifically what special projects may be considered in the upcoming fiscal year. Two additional modifications to the chart have been made at your request. 1) The funding priority for Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve brochure has been changed to high priority with a "b" desig- nation which indicates the District will fund the project or a portion of the project if alternative funds are unavailable. 2) The funding priority for the Duveneck Windmill Pasture Area special project (repair of the windmill) will have a "b" designation. There have been no additional public comments received since the last meeting. Recommendation: I recommend that you adopt the new Site Emphasis Plan and the 1985 Use and Management Plan Review Schedule as presented here- in.

A., a December 20, 1984 William S. Briner, Director Department of Parks and Recreation Office of Grants Administration P.Q. Box 2390 Sacramento, Ca 95811 Dear Mr. Briner: The Midpeninsula Trails Council is a citizen advisory council whose membership represents the hiking, running, bicycling, and equestrian interests in.!the bay area. The MTC membership includes five hiking groups including the Sierra Club, four trail councils, three public agencies, two running groups, fourteen horsemen's organizations, and many concerned and active individuals. I am writing on behalf of the MTC because we would like to express our support for the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District's two Proposition 18 Grant Proposals. Both projects, the Purisima Creek Redwoods Public Access Project and the Kennedy Road Area Public Access Project, are sorely needed in the bay area and will increase access to two lovely open space areas which have already been acquired and only need to be imDroved. The Projects were submitted in the Regional Competitive category and your consideration of both projects would be gratefully appreciated by the MTC and the millions of Californians living in the bay area.

The District has been in existence for over twelve years. During that time, the District has acquired extensive landholdings in both Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. As principal LAFCO, we have reviewed and processed virtually all of the acquisition and expan- sion proposals. Our experience with the District over the years has been consist- ently positive. District staff work carefully with property owners and local jurisdictions to resolve most issues or points of conflict well before matters reach the LAFCO hearing stage. We have found that proposals are uniformly consistent with the policies and master plan objectives of the District. While Santa Clara County has vested your agency with the authority to process this proposal, I hope that your Commission will consider the contribution the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has made in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties over the years.

The petition which you sent last summer was not addressed to the Board and was handled at the staff level . Unfortunately you did not receive information which either was sent or was meant to be sent. Your recent letter has clarified what "trail" you were re- ferring to in the petition. The District has adopted no trails plans on private property in the Lambert or Peters Creek area other than where rights are owned by the District on the Long Ridge and Skyline Ridge Preserves. No maps or EIRs have been made of proposed trails in the same general area other than mapped loop trails on District lands which are shown on the current site maps (enclosed) . There are no tapes, internal memos, consultant studies, or letters to and from other agencies on proposed trails on private lands in the area. I have enclosed all recent use and management plans for the Long Ridge and Skyline Ridge Preserves which outline current and some planned uses for the District lands in the area. These plans have certainly been reviewed and commented on by several members of the Portola Heights Association over the past several years at regular public meetings of our Board of Directors. The District is certainly interested in the potential of connecting District lands with State parklands adjacent and to the west of the Long Ridge Preserve as a part of the District' s ongoing open space acquisition program. These connections could occur within any area between the two agency lands where there is the potential for available Herter,A.Grench,General Manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Noriette G.Hanko,Teena Henshaw,Richard S.Bishop,Edward G.Shelley,Harry A.Turner,Daniel G.Wendtn Porto'-a Heights As iation December 20, 1984 Page Two land parchases . This has not involved, however, any "secret" plans for trail or property linkages by the two park agencies. Quite often the Preservation of open space includes partial acquisitions of prop- erty hcldings, less than fee acquisition or, in -fact, trail easements in scenic areas. All these methods have occurred in the area of your concern and all fall within the mapped areas of the District ' s Master Plan and Sphere of Influence. The District ' s staff and Board are interested in working as good neighbors in the general Lambert and Peters Creek areas on matters of mutual concern regarding future District acquisition, planning, or management of lands.
