most surely entail large expendit-ores of future incnme for capital improvements.
No pshli-c provision has been made for dais expense and capital outlays for

The Bonrd is mortgaging the future of the District in its policy of selectively
using the power of eminent domain to acquire lands from unwilling owners at
pricvs much higher than would Wain if the District would expend its limited
funds on purchases of lands from hilling sellers.
Thu Dist,rict, has just published N list of some seven hundred parcpls that it

We question the haute and propriety of your "Note Issue of 1985" for the
following ceoaona-
�
The necessity was not fully explained. "Several land parcels coming on the
market in the nest eleven months" in vogue and purposely less than candid.
No explanation of available funds for lend acquisition was disclosed.
There were no listings of pending purchases and agreed purchase prices already
� committed but not disclosed in public meeting.
No figures or balance sheet showing the current financial condition of the
District was incorporated in the information given the public and taxpayers
� of the District.
� The Board has been capricious in assuming yn great a debt burden to be paid
by the tax payers of the District. Interest payments on all debt is becoming
| ` ^ the major expense item in the budget. =
The District has undertaken a study for the development of Skyline Benob which will
� most surely entail large expenditures of future income for capital improvements.
No public provision has been om6e for this expense and capital outlays for
land acgnloYciona from note proceeds.
� The Board is mortgaging the future of the District in its policy of selectively
using the power of eminent domain to acquire lands from unwilling owners at
prices mucb higher than would obtain if the District would expend its limited
funds on purchases of lands from willing sellers. �
The District has just Published a list of some seven hundred parcels that it
would wish to discuss acquisition of in secret meeLinga. The land owners
involved who are aware that their land is on this list are concerned that
their lands might be the target of the funds accruing from the "Note issue �
of 1985, " The broadness of this list of potential purchases is so unreasonable
as to cause great anguish to the landowners and cause the value of all this �
land to be adversely affected in the open market. Indeed, the properties �
involved are being damaged in value by inverse condemnation.
�
� The great preponderance of owners on the "list of 700'^ are not aware pf the
actions of the Board of D{.8.O.S.D, No individual or meao notice was made

For the above and other capricious, careless , secretive , arbitrary and
autocratic acts by the Board of Directors and Staff of M.R.O.S.D. the legality
and need for the "Note Issue of 1985" is endangered by probable legal action
t-:hich could CIOUd the issuance of notes by the underwriters.

TO: Board of Directors
FROM: M. Foster, Controller
SUBJECT: Approval of official Statement and Paying Agent for 1985
Promissory Notes
Discussion: At your meeting of February 13 , 1985 you approved a resolu-
tion providing for the issuance and sale of $4, 000, 000 of promissory
notes. The two remaining Board actions required to complete the trans-
action are to approve the final draft of the Official Statement and to
designate a Paying Agent. Our Bond Counsel , Carlo Fowler, is drafting a
resolution to cover both actions. Copies of this resolution, the final
Official Statement, and the proposed agreement with First Interstate Bank
will be delivered to you on Tuesday, February 19 .
The duties of the Paying Agent are to maintain a record of the registered
noteholders, issue certificates, make all payments on the notes and hold
the $320, 000 reserve fund. Investment of moneys in the reserve fund will
be under my direction.
First Interstate Bank is the Paying Agent on the $10. 6 million of notes
issued in 1977 and 1982, in addition to being the District' s bank. First
Interstate provides good service to the District and should, in my opinion,
be designated as Paying Agent for the new notes . The proposed fees are
reasonable and competitive.
Recommendation: I recommend that you adopt the resolution approving the
Official Statement and approving, authorizing and directing the execu-
tion of an agreement with First Interstate Bank of California.

In the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe. San Francisco, California, Bond Counsel, interest on the

SECURITY
The Notes are payable from limited ad valorem property taxes levied upon
all taxable property within the District by the Board of Supervisors of Santa
Clara County and by the Board of Supervisors of San Mateo County, and
allocated to the District under applicable law, and other legally available
funds of the District including, but not limited to, subventions received from
the State in lieu of property taxes, certain federal and State grants, and
interest earned on invested funds.
The Resolution constitutes a contract between the District and the Holders
of the Notes and any additional parity notes which may be issued pursuant to
appropriate resolutions. The covenants and agreements set forth in the
Resolution shall be for the equal and proportionate benefit, security and
protection of all Holders of the Notes and any additional parity notes which
may hereafter be issued without preference, priority or distinction as to
security or otherwise of any of such obligations over any of the others by
reason of the number or date thereof or the time of sale, execution and
delivery thereof.
The Notes are co-equal to and are secured on a parity with the District's
1982 Negotiable Promissory Notes in the outstanding principal amount- of
$4,800,000 and certain other outstanding obligations of the District, as
described in the section "District Financial Information" and in the
District's Audited Financial Statement for the Year Ended June 30, 1984
(Appendix A to this Official Statement).
For the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Notes,
until the principal of and interest on the Notes are paidor until there is a
sum in the treasury of the District set apart for that purpose sufficient to
meet all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as they become
due, the District shall annually set aside a portion of the limited ad valorem
taxes levied upon all taxable property within the District by the Board of
Supervisors of Santa Clara County and by the Board of Supervisors of San Mateo
County, and allocated to the District under applicable law, sufficient to pay
such interest and principal that will become due before the proceeds of a tax
levied at the next general tax levy will be available. See "The Resolution
Flow of Funds" below.

to be expended thereunder, and any proceeds thereof shall be deposited in the
Acquisition Fund.
When the purpose for which the Notes were authorized to be issued has been
accomplished, any balance of money then remaining in the Acquisition Fund
shall be transferred to the Note Fund referred to below.
The District's allocation of the ad valorem property tax levied by Santa
Clara and San Mateo Counties will be deposited with the District. From the
tax proceeds or other available funds of the District, the Controller is
required to deposit as soon as possible after the receipt of such taxes which
become delinquent after April 10 of each year the interest coming due on the
1982 Notes and the 1985 Notes on the next December 15, together with one-half
the principal coming due on such date (except in the case of the deposit
required following the April 10, 1985 tax delinquency date, which with respect
to the 1985 Notes shall equal the full amount of the principal and interest
due on December 15, 1985). From the tax proceeds or other available funds of
the District, the Controller is required to deposit, as soon as possible after
the receipt of such taxes which become delinquent after December 10 of each
year, the interest coming due on the 1982 Notes and the 1985 Notes on the next
June 15, together with one-half the principal coming due on the December 15
next succeeding such June 15. Instead of making the deposits described above,
moneys in the Reserve Fund may be applied toward the redemption at their
maturity of the last outstanding 1985 Notes.
The deposits for the 1985 Notes described above shall be made to a
separate fund which is to be designated "Midpeninsula Regional Open Space
District 1985 Promissory Note Fund" (the "Note Fund"), which shall be held by
the Controller and used solely for the payment of principal and interest on
the 1985 Notes. At least 5 business days prior to each interest payment date
and each principal payment date on any of the 1985 Notes, the Controller shall
transfer to the Paying Agent an amount sufficient to pay the interest and
principal next coming due on the 1985 Notes.
There shall likewise be deposited in the Note Fund any money received on
account of interest accrued on the Notes from March 1 , 1985 to the date of
delivery and actual payment of the purchase price thereof.
Reserve Fund
An amount equal to 8% of the original principal amount of the Notes shall
be deposited from the proceeds of their sale in a separate account held by the
Paying Agent at its principal office in San Francisco, entitled "Midpeninsula
Regional Open Space District 1985 Promissory Note Reserve Fund" (the "Reserve
Fund"). Thereafter, there shall be maintained in the Reserve Fund an amount
equal to the lesser of 8% of the original principal amount of the 1985 Notes
or one-half the principal plus one-half the interest coming due in the year
ending the next December 15 with respect to all such 1985 Notes which are then
outstanding (the "Reserve Requirement").

The District's allocation of tax revenues is the sum of the District's
apportionment of the taxes produced by the one dollar tax rate in nearly one
thousand tax code areas in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. In accordance
with Chapter 6 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, the tax increment derived by
the increase in assessed valuation in each tax code area is apportioned to the
taxing entities within the code area in the same proportion as in the prior
year, subject to certain modifications for change in jurisdiction or new
incorporations. Thus, the increase in the District's allocation of taxes
varies directly with the increase in the assessed valuation within the
District.
Unlike some special districts in California, as a multi-county special
district, the District receives 100% of its allocation of collected taxes
