ROLL CALL President Teena Henshaw called the meeting to order at 7: 35 p.m. Members Present: Katherine Duffy, Daniel Wendin, Teena Henshaw, Edward Shelley, Harry Turner, and Richard Bishop. Member Absent: Nonette Hanko. Personnel Present: Herbert Grench, Craig Britton, David Hansen, and Jean Fiddes. II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES June 12, 198S R. Bishop stated that the word "land" in his statement in the fourth paragraph on Page Four should be substituted with the words "proposed eminent domain proceedings." J. Fiddes noted N. Hanko had requested at the June 26 meeting some additional corrections to the June 12 minutes. These corrections were: the word "unless" should be changed to "provided" and "at which time" should be changed to "otherwise" in the fourth paragraph of Page Three, and in the following paragraph, 'IS" be changed to "5b" and "T' be changed to 116". Motion: R. Bishop moved the approval of the June 12, 1985 workshop minutes as amended. H. Turner seconded the motion. The motion passed 5 to 0 with E. Shelley abstaining from the vote since he.did not attend the June 12 Special Meeting. H. Turner, referring to a letter to the Board dated July 15, 1985 from Julianna and David Wexler, 100 Crazy Pete's Road, Woodside concerning maintenance of Crazy Pete's Road, requested the Board add an item to the evening's agenda to discuss the Wexlerts concerns. Discussion centered on the appropriateness of adding an item to the Special Meeting's established agenda and the Board concurred that the President of the Board should be responsible for placing the matter on a future agenda, or having it considered initially as a Written Communication on July 24. III. NEW BUSINESS WITH ACTION REQUESTED A) Proposed Darling Property Addition to La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve (Report R-85-38 of July 11, 198S) - C. Britton pointed out the location of the 69 acre proposed acquisition on the wall map, noting the property was located west of La Honda Road (High- way 84) and north of the District's contiguous La Honda Creek Open Herbert A.Grench,Genera!Manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Nonette G.Hanko,Teena Henshaw,Richard S.Bishop,Edward G.Shelley,Harry A.Turner,Daniel G.Wendin Me,,,t 85-18 Page Two Spaca ProSet've. He stated the terms of the purchase agreement called for a total purchase price of $176,000 and provided for a down payment of $35,300 in cash with the balance payable over 10 years at 7% interest. D.' Hansen showed slides of the property and reviewed the use and management recommendations contained in the staff report. He noted that staff did not intend to publicize the site to any great extent at this time since access studies for the site needed to be done. Ed Clement, P.O. Box 153, Pescadero, a neighbor of the proposed acquisition discussed activities, including camping and the build- ing of fires, that currently occur on the site, and questioned how the District would patrol the property. He noted that neighbors in the area had been informing people on the property that they were trespassing. Mr. Clement stated .that he felt erosion control would be a constant problem on the property because of the logging that has occurred on the property in the past. D. Hansen explained how the District's Ranger staff patrolled District lands and noted that neighbors could assist the District by informing the Rangers of illegal activities occurring on the site. In response to a question from T. Kavanaugh, D. Hansen stated that staff was recommending the land be withheld from dedication until general use and acquisition patterns in the area were determined. Motion: R. Bishop moved that the Board adopt Resolution 85-35, a Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midponinsula Regional Open Space District Authorizing Acceptance of Agree- ment to Purchase Real Property, Authorizing Officer to Execute Certificate of Acceptance of Grant to District, and Authorizing General Manager to Execute Any and All Other Documents Necessary to Closing of the Transaction (La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve - Darling Property) , tentatively adopt the Interim Use and Management Plan recommendations contained in the staff report, name the property an addition to the La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve, and indicate its intention to withhold the property from dedication. H. Turner seconded the motion. The motion passed 6 to 0. IV. CLAIMS Motion: H. Turner moved the approval of the claims list SS-14 dated July 15, 1985. E. Shelley seconded the motion. The motion passed 6 to 0. V. CLOSED SESSION The Board adjourned to closed session on land negotiation matters at 8:05 p.m. T. Henshaw, prior to the actual adjournment, appointed 11. Turner Secretary Pro-Tempore with the Board's concurrence. ADJOURNMENT The Board reconvened to adjourn at 10:25 p.m. Jean H.

The development of 22 homes strung along the grasslands of the ridge top adjacent to the Preserve would be a marked intrusion upon the vistas and tranquility from Russian Ridge just to the South and would be a violation of the natural beauty of the ridge it- self where they were built. If the Peters Ranch parcel were acquired by MROSD plus private land easements, a 20-mile hiking trail from the bottom of Windy Hill to Saratoga Gap and beyond would be possible. We trust MROSD will take all possible means, including pur- chase, to prevent new homes within the Russian Ridge view. Thank you for your efforts. I Sincerely yours, I John E. and Joyce T. Todd I I I i I I WRITTEN CORM i�dCATION Meeting 85-19 July 24, 1985 i Portola Park Heights Property Owner' s Association July 24, 1985 District Directors Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District 375 Distel Circle, # D1 Los Altos, CA 94022 Dear District Directors, Our Property Owners Association is responsible for any regulations, maintenance or repair necessary for the private road to Skyline Blvd including the locked gate. Our organization has tried to work with the District since early March after our private primary access road was identified as a public trail . On July 2, 1985 Candace Stone met with Mr Hansen in another attempt to work together toward an amiable solution to the impact public access to Long Ridge Preserve has on our community . However there are several areas where Mr. Hansen and our organization disagree. We would like the Board to consider the following proposal outlined by our organization before making any long term decisions that will have a lasting effect on our community . 1 . A sign worded "private road: keep out" has been maintained at the gate area by our association. Signs should be worded to keep the public out, not our friends and neighbors. Alternate wording could read "road closed to the public. " Cautionary signing along the road will not be necessary if the public is not using the road. 2. Any maps distributed to the public should show our roads along with the boundries around our community marked private. Our organization has researched alternate routes to allow the public access to their lands without impacting the private road. 3. We would like to discuss with Mr Norton the legalities involving the use of private roads for public trails, insurance liability, fire protection measures, plus wording and placement of signs. 4. We would like to work with the District to establish mutually acceptable community boundries. The District should delineate a clear sep eration o private rivate and public use, provide a specific buffer zone to protect both public park users and private property owners. In the future we would like to see the staff work with us and before any proposals are submitted we would like to review them and be able to offer a counter proposal for the Board to also consider before voting on any issues that effect our community I 11 July 24, 1985 Page 2 Portola Park Heights Property Owner' s Association We would like to quote from a letter written to property owners by their elected officials after a 1979 property owner ' s meeting. "A great deal of concern was voiced at the meeting over infringements of our easements by public bodies. The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space people have aquired adjoining property on one side of us, and the Portola State Park has aquired more property adjoining us on the other, giving rise to concerns that there may be attempts to deny us use of easements across these properties (which give us two alternative routes of access) , or attempts to use our own roads for access by the general public . The meeting unanimously authorized your Committee to oppose such actions, and to spend limited amounts of funds to do so" . Both of these fears have come true by 1984. Mr Herb Grench, District Director , wrote in an explanatory letter to our neighborhood , "We do show all roads as trails on most of our property maps" . We feel NO road should be identified as a public trail,, unless it has curbs and sidewalks, or no vehicle traffic, except for Park Rangers. Our community has spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours protecting our easements and private property. Public and private Open Space Agencies seem to be working together to engulf our community. It is amazing that such a burden has been laid upon our community which for the most part is outside District boundries. Many of us have lived here for years, we have built our homes and cared for our land. Please, we are asking you to work with us, see our viewpoint , and compromise in areas that can be easily compromised. We wish to thank the Board for listening to our concerns and we are certain that when you review our proposal you will find it reasonable and acceptable.

Obermeyer 22400 Skyline Boulevard, Box 16 La Honda, CA 94020 Subject: Portola Park Heights Road Dear Property Owners: This letter is in reply to your March 21 letter to our Board and subsequent notes from William Obermeyer received after the meeting in our offices on April 2 attended by Obe, C. Touchatt, C. Doose, David Hansen, and Craig Britton to discuss the road and other issues pertaining to the Portola Park Heights area. First, when we update the District ' s Master Plan for your area we will see if we can show the developed residential area as grey and appropriately captioned. You will have an opportunity to review the draft map before it goes to our Board. Enclosed is the documentation requested at the meeting, including title reports and a letter to Don Campbell regarding our mainten- ance obligation for the road. As was stated at the meeting, the District will continue to pay our required share for road repair and maintenance. The ideal situation from our point of view, how- ever, would be to have the District as a voting member of the Association and have our road maintenance Policies considered as an alternative for a possible new agreement for the road. These Policies consider usage frequency of the road rather than lineal frontage as a' basis for shares. I have attached a copy of these Policies for your consideration. Regarding the use of the road by hikers and equestrians, be they Portola Park Heights residents or the general public, we do not wish to perpetuate or encourage conflicts with the vehicular traffic Herbert A.GrenCh General Manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy.Nonette G.tianko,Teena Henshay.RiCh3rd S.Bishop,Edward G.Shetjar_Raw_ _I A—Tw-not. Portola [lark Ilei(jI -ProF)erty Owners Associ�jtiojj April 1-2 , 1985 Pa(je two accessing your lands. The road has never forinally been signed or designated as a trail , but we do show all. roads as trails on most of our property maps, and the route is certainly an ideal one for recreational use crossing Long Ridge in a north-south direction. Because the District owns underlying fee title to the road/trail where it crosses District lands, it would not be overburdened by allowing foot or equestrian traffic on the road . However, we would like to eliminate any hazardous situations which might effect the safety and welfare of the general public. To alleviate the vehicle/pedestrian/equestrian conflicts, we pro- pose that our planning staff meet with representatives of the Portola Park Heights group and local South Skyline Association members on-site to determine an ideal trail alignment which could bypass the narrow switch-back sections of the road. Please telephone David Hansen to set a date for this meeting. in the interim, we would also like to sign the road to forewarn vehicle and non-vehicle traffic of the potential conflicts. Regarding liability on the road, the District carries liability insurance- policies to protect the District for all District properties, including for roads and trails. But we will have to obtain a legal response from our Counsel on any insurance obligation we may have regarding your liability when crossing District lands over access easeii, *,!-Its_ This will be answered in a separate reply from Stan Norton, the District ' s Legal Counsel. I would like to reiterate strongly that we desire to allow you con- tinuing legitimate vehicular access over the District ' s Long Ridge property, but hope you will consider as well the public' s legitimate recreational access to their lands. We hope you will participate in the site use and management planning process in which we try to balance various needs. I am sure that we can come to a reasonable solution for all parties concerned.

Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Further Discussion of Policies Regarding Procedures Pursuant to Brown Act Amendments, Acquisition of Land Outside District Boundaries and Annexation. Discussion: At your meeting of July 10, 1985 the Eminent Domain Committee presented its third report to you, and Director Wendin reviewed versions one and two of the Committee's revised draft land acquisition policies (see Memorandum M-85-108 of July 3, 1985) . At that meeting, you stated that Board and public reaction to the remaining policies relating to procedures pursuant to the Brown Act amendments, acquisition of land out- side District boundaries, and annexation would be considered at your July 24 meeting. Copies of these draft policies were distributed as part of Memorandum M-85-108. Recommendations: The Committee placed this item before you originally on the July 10 agenda for presentation, discussion, and public exposure only, but not for Board action to adopt policies. At your July 10 meeting, President Henshaw stated that it was her intention that the Board would not take any final votes to adopt any of the subject policies until all seven members of the Board could be in attendance. This is an item that will be on the July 24 agenda. Copies of the proposed policies were mailed to you for the Board's previous meeting of July 10. Please contact the District office at (415)965-4717 if you need another copy of the draft policies. The meeting will start at 7:30 P.M. and this will be the first agenda item.

Hansen, Land Manager SUBJECT : Wording Approval for Cautionary Signing for Long Ridge Open Space Preserve In accordance with the timetable approved by you at your July 10 meeting, staff was to return to you with cautionary signing approved by District Counsel. As Counsel will not have a full opportunity to review the material until early in the week of Your meeting, the staff report will be distributed on July 24 .

Hansen, Land Manager SUBJECT: Long Ridge Road Signing Introduction: At your meeting of July 10 , 1985 you approved an interim solution to alleviate the multi-use conflicts on the north entry road of the Long Ridge Open Space Preserve (see report R-85-37 , dated July 5 , 1985) . As anticipated in the timetable in that report, staff has installed signs on the road to temporarily close most of the route to trail use. In addi- tion, the maps given out to interested public have been changed to show that there will be some realignment of the trail route, and that the road has not been highlighted as a trail route . Discussion: An intermediate step to open the road to trail use with cau- tionary signing was included in the adopted recommendation of July 10 . A permanent solution is to be presented at your first meeting in August for later implementation. This intermediate step would require placing new signing which would state: 4 TRAIL USERS G The road ahead is open for combined resident vehicular and public and neighborhood trail use. Please stay to side of road. It is approval of this language which is the agenda item topic for July 24 . This step would allow the area to be used much as it has been in the past with the difference being addition of the cautionary signing. Although this could remain as a permanent solution, staff feels that for safety reasons portions of the road should be closed to public trail use as part of the permanent solution. I An option mentioned in the previous report but not adopted would be to omit the intermediate step and leave the road closed to trail users until the permanent solution was implemented. Implementation would best be done in the fall when the bypass trails could be more readily built after the first rains . The trail could, however, be built sooner if it were consi- dered an emergency by the Board. However, other pressing trail development or use and management projects would be delayed. Staff preference is to implement a permanent solution in the fall . I M-85-115 Page Two Legal Counsel Stan Norton has reviewed preliminarily the signing for both the temporary and permanent solutions and will present a written re- port on the permanent signing at your August 14th meeting. Recommendation: I recommend that you approve the cautionary signing as outlined in this report and direct staff to open the road to public trail use once the signing has been installed.

Gundert, Associate Open Space Planner SUBJECT: Use and Management Plan Review for the Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve I I Introduction: Review of the Use and Management Plan for the Whittemore Gulch Redwoods Open Space Preserve was last presented to you at your January 25 , 1984 meeting (see report R-84-04 , dated January 18 , 1984) . Since that time a major acquisition was added to this Preserve and the name d o P risima Creek Redwoods i pre - dominant e t u ee e woods Open Space Preserve reflecting the e g P P g P dominant geo ra hic feature on the site. Whittemore Gulch was retained as an area name for that original portion of the Preserve. The addition, 1662 acres in size, was approved for acquisition at your April 18 , 1984 meeting (see report R-84-21 , dated April 13 , 1984) . The Save-the-Redwoods League assisted in the acquisition by contributing $2 ,000 ,000 toward the purchase. I Adoption of the Interim Use and Management Plan for the addition was pre- sented at your May 23 , 1984 meeting (see memorandum M-84-52 , dated May 17 , i 1984) . In November 1984 the District applied to the State for a development grant for the Preserve under the California Park and Recreation Facilities Act of I ' 1984 (Proposition 18) . The District has been notified that the project was funded by the State Legislature. The original grant request was for ! $166 ,600 but the award by the State was $150 ,000 . The Peninsula Open Space Trust agreed to fund 100 of the project, or $16 ,600 needed to make up the difference. I . Site Description and Use I The 2511 acre Preserve is located on the western slope of Skyline Ridge, bounded by Skyline Boulevard, Huddart County Park, and the pro- posed Redwood Park area to the east, Tunitas Creek Road to the south, Walker Gulch and Higgins-Purisima Road to the west and private property to the north. I Visitor use tends to concentrate around the three access points on the three corners of the Preserve. The northernmost access is approx- imately 4 . 6 miles south of Highway 92 on Skyline Boulevard and accom- modates approximately 12 vehicles . Use on the north ridge leading from this access is primarily by hikers and equestrians . Up until last week use was limited to the north ridge trail , but the connecting trail be- tween the north ridge and Harkins Ridge has now been cleared of Scotch broom and diverted around a slide area. Efforts to clear the connecting trail actually started several months ago when volunteers began clearing the Scotch broom off the overgrown route . The re-opening of the trail was completed with the assistance of a trail contractor and San Mateo R-85-40 Page Two County Juvenile Court crews. The second access to the site is at the junction of Purisima Creek Road and Skyline Boulevard, approximately two miles south of the north access. A CalTrans pullout located several hundred feet south of this area accommodates approximately 7 vehicles . In addition, Huddart County Park is located directly across Skyline Boulevard, and a stile accommodating hiker and equestrian traffic is located near the CalTrans pullout on the County Park boundary westerly of Skyline Boulevard. An equestrian stile was donated to the District and now allows horseback riders into and out of the Preserve. Motorcycle access problems in this area have been curtailed. The third access on the western end of the Preserve is from Half Moon Bay where Higgins-Purisima Road and Purisima Road intersect. Road- side parking for four vehicles is currently accommodated at this site. The majority of the illegal use occurring on the site is in this area and includes motorcycle use, shooting, illegal camping fires, and littering. Given the remoteness of this area and the difficulty in District rangers patrolling the area regularly, you approved a manage- ment agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation through the Half Moon Bay office to patrol the lower part of Purisima Creek Canyon. This agreement has been very successful in beginning to curtail many of the illegal activities , as State staff have been very responsive to the problems in the area . A fourth area warrants brief mention only because it has historically been a source of motorcycle access. This is from an existing gated entrance along Tunitas Creek Road. Actions are being taken to end the motorcycle encroachments in this area. Since the last review and addition of the Purisima Creek Canyon to the Preserve, Ranger-staff efforts have centered around maintaining a presence on the site via patrol , upgrading emergency access throughout the site, and resolving emergency communication needs in the canyons . A new communications system coordinated with San Mateo County and in- volving new portable radios is being implemented to aid site patrol . Also assisting in maintaining a presence on the property is one of the District Rangers, now residing on Skyline Boulevard in the house adja- cent to the northern parking area. II . Planning Considerations The Preserve is within San Mateo County and portions are zoned Resource Management (RM) and Timber Preservation Zone (TPZ) . The uppermost area of the Preserve falls within the Skyline Scenic Corridor while the lower area near Higgins-Purisima Road is in the Coastal Zone. Develop- ment occurring on the Preserve could be subject to review by the County of San Mateo, the California Coastal Commission, and CalTrans. The District' s Land Management Planning Process provides for periodic review and update of site Use and Management Plans by the Board of Directors. Preserves, such as Purisima Creek Redwoods, which are more highly emphasized, are usually reviewed once a year. In addition to this review, a public workshop was held on June 27 , 1985 to solicit public input into the planning process and the District Land Manager and Operations Supervisor attended a meeting of the Kings Mountain Association to discuss Purisima Creek development and the current wildfire danger on July 18 , 1985. Public notification for the work- shop included all adjacent property owners, interested parties who have requested to be on the site ' s mailing list and local newspapers R-85-40 Page Three (e.g. , Peninsula Times Tribune, San Mateo Times, Country Almanac) . The application for the Proposition 18 grant, which provides funding for improved parking areas and trail system and the construction of a backpack camp, has served as a model for the formulation of this Use and Management Plan review. The grant project itself is only a conceptual plan which was adopted by the Board in November for use in securing funding. The recommendations contained in this report reflect a refined plan which has evolved from further in-depth field studies and public involvement. The attached table shows the various tasks, timelines , and cost estimates for the Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve development project. III. Use and Management Plan The following Use and Management Plan includes review and new recom- mendations for the Use and Management Plan of the original Whittemore Gulch Redwoods Open Space Preserve as well as the Interim Use and Management Plan for the Purisima Canyon addition. The revised plan will cover the next two years. A. Access and Circulation Currently parking is limited to the three previously described areas accommodating approximately 23 cars. The proposed plan for development, reflecting the suggested plan as outlined in the Proposition 18 Development Grant, includes reconstruction of these three areas to accommodate a total of 30 passenger vehicles (in- cluding handicapped parking) and 5 to 10 equestrian trailers . Each of the three gravel parking areas will accommodate approximately 10 vehicles . The proposed changes in this plan also include im- provements to the trail system to provide a loop-trail network. These proposed changes are further described in the following sec- tion under "New Recommendations" . Existing Use and Management Plan 1 . The conditions of the main road and trail descending from the parking area and connecting southwardly to the Harkins fire trail will be evaluated and, if feasible, a recommendation to improve to patrol road specifications will be made at the next Use and Management review. Status : The main road leading from the parking area is very steep, and realignment of the roadway or a trail bypassing the steep section should be considered. This roadway was cleared of the encroaching Scotch broom by Juvenile Court crews this summer. The connecting trail to Harkins Ridge was also cleared through volunteer and Court crew efforts, and a trail construc- ted to bypass a slide. Geotechnical advice on the soil insta- bility in the slide area showed the reopening of the road to be prohibitively expensive. Beyond the slide, however, the road was graded to patrol standards. Annual maintenance of this section of trail is estimated at $500 and was included in the current year' s budget preparation. 2 . The Harkins fire trail will be improved and maintained for patrol purposes. Status : This project is complete. Annual maintenance of the trail isestimated at $500 and was included in the current R-85-40 Page Four year ' s budget preparation. 3 . Purisima Road will be kept open for year-round patrol . Status : Purisima Road was graded in the spring. Annual main- tenance is estimated at $1500 . 4 . The new parking area adjacent to Skyline Boulevard is open and ungated. At the present time, this poses no problem. However, in the event a nighttime loitering problem arises , a gate should be installed at the entrance and locked at night, when necessary. Status: A gate is unnecessary at the present time. However, redesign of the parking area (including gating which will discourage nighttime problems) is to be considered in the grant project (see new Use and Management recommendations be- low for proposed parking area project) . 5. The existing pipe gates at the lower and upper ends of Puris- ima Road will remain until replaced with gates conforming to District design standards along with hiking stiles . Status: This item was rescheduled and will be done as part of the grant project. Cost is estimated at $1400 . 6 . A pipe gate and a hiking-equestrian stile will be installed at the Tunitas Creek road entrance to the Preserve. Status: This project will be incorporated into the grant project. Cost is estimated at $900 . 7 . Gates, fencing, and equestrian stiles will be placed at all access points necessary to restrict off-road vehicle access . The access points include: a) the Harkins fire trail , at its intersection with Comstock Road; b) the bridge to Whittemore Gulch; c) the west end of the road to the north side of Pur- isima Creek. The last two gates will be necessary in order to allow parking in the large area beyond the present owner' s gate at the main road. They will also protect District prop- erty when the main access gate is left open for logging trucks . Status: Agate has been installed at Comstock Road. Additions to the site and completion of the logging have eliminated the necessity of the other two gates . 8 . The bridge over Purisima Creek will be repaired at an estima- ted cost of $500. Status : The repairs to the bridge are scheduled for this summer. 9 . A motorcycle barrier will be installed across the new motor- cycle path that has been pioneered from Skyline Boulevard. Status: The motorcyle barrier is in place and effective. 10 . In conjunction with regular Use and Management Plan review, staff should study the feasibility of developing a parking area at the Higgins-Purisima entrance, the trail system including interconnecting trails and internal trail system routes , natural resource protection and various management options . Status: The above issues were considered in the formulation R-85-40 Page Five of the grant application, and new Use and Management Plan recommendations are contained in this report. New Use and Management Recommendations 1 . The three existing parking areas should be redesigned and reconstructed. The north ridge parking area will be designed to accommodate equestrian parking. In addition, both the north ridge and lower Purisima Creek parking areas will be designed for increased security (i.e. , perimeter fencing and gating) . Cost is estimated at $69 ,000 and has been included in the fiscal year 1985-1986 budget and is to be refunded by the State Grant. 2 . The trail system will be improved to include: a) a connecting trail from Whittemore Gulch to the North Ridge trail ; b) a connecting trail from Soda Gulch to Harkins Trail; c) two physically-limited trails; d) minor improvements to existing roads and trails . Cost is estimated at $26 ,200 and is par- tially funded in the fiscal year 1985-1986 budget and is to be refunded as a part of the Grant. 3 . Fencing, gates , and stiles will be installed at the three parking areas and other appropriate points of access . Cost is estimated at $23 ,500 and is included in the fiscal year 1985- 1986 budget and is to be refunded as a part of the Grant. B. Signing Presently, signing is limited to boundary identification plaques. In order to be consistent with other Preserves in the mid-range of the Relative Site Emphasis Plan, the signing program should be expanded to include a map and regulatory sign at the parking areas, trail directional signs throughout the trail system, wildland signs at all secondary points of access , and "Preserve Boundary/Private Property" signs where trails lead onto private property. Existing Use and Manageme t Plan 1 . Preserve boundary plaques and wildland signs should be placed at visitor entry points where appropriate. Status: Complete. 2 . A map and regulatory sign should be installed at the north ridge parking area. Status : The project was rescheduled to be included in the grant project (see new Use and Management Plan recommendations below for proposed sign project) . 3 . Trail directional signs should be placed where necessary to clarify the trail system. Status : The project was rescheduled because the trail system was not adequately open and has now been included in the grant project. 4 . Property boundary (Private Property) signs should be placed where trails enter private property. Status: This project is complete. New Use and Management Recommendations 1 . A map and regulatory sign will be installed at each of the R-85-40 Page Six three parking areas. In addition, a site identification sign will be installed at the north ridge parking area. Cost is estimated at $4900 and is included in the fiscal year 1985- 1986 budget and will be refunded as a part of the grant. 2. The trail system will be signed with the standard District trail directional signs . Cost is estimated at $1500 and is partially funded in fiscal year 1985-1986 and will be refunded as part of the grant. 3 . Signing for the backpack camp would be similar to that at the Black Mountain backpack camp. Cost is estimated at $300 , and funding will be requested in the fiscal year 1986-1987 budget. C. Brochure At the present time there is no brochure available for the site. A xeroxed map of the site with directions is available from the District office . Existing Use and Management Plan 1 . A standard, folded 8�xll brochure should be provided on site. Status : This project was dropped in anticipation of providing an interpretive brochure as part of the grant project. New Use and Management Recommendation 1 . An llxl7 interpretive brochure similar to Los Trancos and Monte Bello Open Space Preserves will be provided on-site. Estimated cost of production and first printing is $2300: Funds were not provided by the grant project and will be re- quested in fiscal year 1986-1987 budget preparation with poten- tial refunding by Peninsula Open Space Trust. D. Structures and Improvements Staff has investigated the feasibility of developing a backpack camp. The District' s first backpack camp opened in Spring 1985, and staff is currently gathering management information which will prove helpful in managing similar facilities . The distance from off-site thoroughfares to the backpack camp site seems to be an important factor in promoting responsible use. In addition, po- table and emergency water, patrol, and emergency communication are important factors to consider. A site has been identified midway between Skyline Boulevard and Higgins-Purisima Road adja- cent to Purisima Road approximately 2 miles from a thoroughfare, yet adjacent to a patrol route. Water is available, and once improved will provide potable and emergency water. However, the site does not presently have an adequate emergency communications capability. For this reason, we are only recommending organized group camping at this time, while staff explores alternative methods of management, for example, using a resident manager, phone, radio, etc. Existing Use and Management Plan 1 . The structure will be operated as an enterprise account, and enterprise will be responsible for conformance to local building codes. The structure was designated to become a Ranger residence at such time as increased use warranted a change. R-85-40 Page Seven Status: A carport was constructed complying with County building codes and requirements. A Ranger residence was established in the fall of 1984 . 2. The owner of the trailer parked on District property adjacent to the entry road off Tunitas Creek Road will be requested to relocate the trailer to the owner ' s own property. Status: The trailer has been relocated to the owner' s property. New Use and Management Recommendation 1 . A backpack camp will be developed to accommodate 12-24 visitors. It will be equipped with an emergency water supply and potable water. The first three years of operation, use will be re- stricted to organized groups of 12-24 individuals in size. Use will be by permit only. During the three year period, alternative management options will be explored, including a campground host program, to allow for increased and more di- verse use. Cost is estimated at $2500 with funding to be re- quested in fiscal year 1986-1987 budget preparation. The pro- ject is included in the grant. 2 . One or two restrooms will be installed at each of the three parking areas and one at the backpack camp. The style will be similar to restrooms located at the Monte Bello parking area. Restrooms accommodating wheelchairs will be located at the lower Purisima and upper Purisima parking areas. Cost is estimated at $28 ,100 and is funded in the fiscal year 1986- 1987 budget. The project will be refunded as part of the grant. 3 . Staff will explore possibility of providing drinking water from nearby Skyline Water District service lines. E. Natural Resources and Agricultural Management Existing Use and Management Plan 1 . The debris located adjacent to the main trail will be removed. This can possibly be accomplished by a volunteer organization or the California Conservation Corps. Status: This project has been partially completed by District staff . 2 . Staff will encourage a student research project on the site to determine a method by which the invasive undesirable vege- tation (Scotch and French broom) can be eliminated. Status : Some library research has been completed which indi- cates the most practical method of removal is by mechanical means and hand removal on a continuing basis. Juvenile Court crews have been used for broom removal on this site, and staff will continue to seek their assistance in the future. 3 . The contractors will be allowed to continue removing already cut hardwood logs (from Tunitas Creek Road area) , but will not be allowed to cut any more. Rangers will monitor the log re- moval until completed and make sure the area is left in an acceptable condition. Status: The removal is complete and the area left in an acceptable condition. R-85-40 Page Eight 4 . The revegetation proposal , as described in memorandum M-84-52 , which is part of a State Grant program, will be evaluated . Status : The conditions to qualify for the State Grant program required an intent to continue the harvest of redwoods, which is precluded by the conditions of the District' s grant from Save-the-Redwoods League. Therefore, the project was not pursued. New Use and Management Recommendations 1 . The District will work with the California Division of For- estry in maintaining adequate emergency fire access, identi- fying other fire management concerns and complete a Preserve wildfire management plan. F. Visitor and Site Protection Existing Use and Management Plan 1 . District staff will continue working with the California Depart- ment of Parks and Recreation on a joint management plan for the property. Status : Staff reached an agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation in Spring 1985 whereby State Rangers patrol the Higgins-Purisima area of the Preserve in exchange for District staff patrolling the State owned Rancho Raymundo property. Re- sponse to the District' s recent request of the State to increase patrol has helped to curtail illegal activities. 2 . The site will be regularly patrolled via Purisima Road. Status: In addition to Purisima Road, the Harkins fire trail and North Ridge trail are patrol routes on the site. New Use and Management Recommendations 1 . Due to the anticipated increase in use of the site once the grant project is complete, Ranger patrol will need to increase. It is estimated Ranger patrol will be doubled upon completion of the parking areas and first year improvements. G. Compliance with CEQA In October 1984 the Board approved the application for Grant Funds under the Regional Competitive Program of the California Recreational Facilities Act (1984) . At that time, staff determined the project was categorically exempt. Since there are no significant changes in the project, asoutlined in this Use and Management Plan, a categorical exemption is appropriate. Staff, though, recognizes that specific plans for the construction of parking areas may require further consid- eration under CEQA Guidelines and would return to the Board for review of site specific plans and CEQA documents if necessary. H. Dedication The entire Preserve has been dedicated. Recommendation: I recommend that you tentatively adopt the Use and Man- agement Plan as presented in this report for the Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve. rT Zri��r.!1"r� �r��__ -•i,��r,� -YW��i;ice r( i M �� `i il�iC rY Y Y i i7 11 Y i■l��tl i i• yN Y 1[lt�l1 Y 1 �t=pYYi . 77. `t��,jr !I' i �/17 ,\�� v,,,,1, r r if, •(•�� .r �.-j't SITE MAP iso'SKYLINE BQUI =VRDA —� 1935 PURISIMA CREEK REDWOODS OPEN SPACE PRESERVE 'e LF".se:L40kout 0 r ° f .f� ■�� Existing hiking/equestrian trails -1\-j% ��. ,,�',,�, ((` a�•7.

Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager; D. Hansen, Land Manager; A. Cummings , Environmental Analyst SUBJECT: Proposed Addition to Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve, Mt. Umunhum Area (Lands of Oden) Introduction: The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District currently has the opportunity to purchase approximately 69 acres of land located east of Highway 17 within unincorporated Santa Clara County. The prop- erty, bisected by a portion of Loma Almaden (Mt. Umunhum.) Road, adjoins the southern boundary of the District' s existing Mt. Umunhum Area of the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve and directly connects the District-owned properties on the eastern face of Mt. Umunhum with one another. A. Description of the Site 1. Size, Location and Boundaries This 69 acre property is located south of the City of San Jose (Almaden Valley) on the east-facing slopes of Mt. Umunhum. Two portions of the District-owned Mt. Umunhum Area border the site to the north with an intervening private property, and private property surrounds the site to the east, south, and west. This property connects the non-contiguous portions of the Mt. Umunhum. Area (former McCoy and Mariscal properties) with the main Mt. Umunhum Area (see map attached) . The property is located on both sides of Loma Almaden Road approx- imately 3 miles southeast of the intersection of Loma Almaden Road and Hicks Road. Loma Almaden Road continues on to the summit of Mt. Umunhum. It is outside the District's boundaries but within the District ' s Sphere of Influence. The property is also within the Sphere of Influence of the City of San Jose. 2. Topography, Geology and Natural Landscape The property consists of a ridge and knoll extending southeast from the steep east-facing slopes of Mt. Umunhum. Here, the Loma Almaden Road is less steep. It follows the crest of the ridge, which, as with the road, roughly bisects the property from east to west. A knoll directly south of the road offers sweeping views of the Santa Clara Valley, Mount Loma Prieta, and the summit ridge of Mt. Umunhum. A very active spring on the southern boundary flows into Herbert Creek and Almaden Reservoir and is utilized as a main R-85-39 Page Two water source for adjacent neighboring residences. This spring apparently has a good year round flow of cold water. It was flowing actively when staff visited the site this past week. Elevations range from a high of 2920 feet in the northwestern corner to a low of 2520 feet along the northeastern boundary. Vegetation is principally brushy chaparral species such as man- zanita, coffeeberry, and ceanothus , as well as knobcone pine, scrub oak, and bay trees. Property soils are of the Los Gatos-Maymen Association, derived from shale. B. Current Use and Development There are a number of dirt roads on the property, branching from the paved Loma Almaden Road. The road closest to the eastern boundary branches both to the north and to the south. The southern branch is currently used by adjacent property owners who have easement rights through the property, and is in excellent condi- tion. This road is entered through a locked gate. It parallels the eastern boundary, loops west around the knoll through private property, and passes the spring on the southern boundary of the site before again entering private property. The adjacent property owner has an ease- ment to take water from the spring and has installed a spring box and numerous water pipes . There are no other known structures on the prop- erty. The northern branch connects with the road system on the former McCoy and Marsical properties . One branch loops west along the property line to the former Stour Investments property, and then returns to Loma Almaden Road. Another branch eventually connects with the El Sombroso Trail network and leads on to the Kennedy Road Area of the Preserve. As part of fire protection efforts in the recent Lexington fire, a 150 foot wide firebreak was bulldozed along the ridge through the for- mer Stour Investments property, and on up through private property to the Mt. Umunhum summit ridge. This firebreak appears to be also in a por- tion of the Oden property and could eventually become part of a trail system accessed from the subject property. It connects with a ravine just below and west of the summit of Mt. Umunhum, which could provide a scenic and direct trail route to the summit. Another road branches south from Loma Almaden Road near the western boundary of the site. It leads to a house on private property, and eventually to a road system along the east facing slopes between Mt. Umunhum and Loma Prieta. 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. 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 out- side the District boundaries and was not included at the time the Plan was prepared. R-85-39 Page Three D. Potential Use and Management The purchase of this property will give the District fee title to a substantial portion of Loma Almaden Road. This will give the Dis- trict control of access to existing District holdings on the east facing slopes of Mt. Umunhum and provide a potential trailhead access point midway up the mountain. The site should be managed as a natural area and be open to hikers and equestrians gaining access from Loma Almaden Road. Parking would be available at several roadside turnouts adjacent to Loma Almaden Road. The Loma Almaden Road is currently blocked by a locked gate recently installed one-half mile below the subject property. Public access to this property is only possible by foot beyond the gate at the present time. E. Interim Use and Management Recommendations 1. Boundary plaques should be installed where appropriate. The cost is estimated at $30 . Funding is available in the current budget. 2. A gate should be placed across the road branching north from Loma Almaden Road near the eastern boundary of the property to limit motorcycle access . The installation of this gate at the road ' s entrance will be done in lieu of a previously adopted recommenda- tion at the time of the Mariscal acquisition which called for a gate approximately 200 feet down the road at the Mariscal boundary. 3 . A gate should be placed on the road leading to the former Stour Investments property and firebreak. Cost is estimated at $700, and funding is included in the current fiscal year' s budget. F. Dedication This property should be withheld from dedication as public open space to allow for future transfer of development rights or to allow for trade if advisable. G. Naming This property should be named as an addition to the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve - Mt. Umunhum Area. H. Terms The total purchase price as stipulated in the attached Purchase Agree- ment would be $172 ,500 ($2500 per acre) payable in cash at the close of escrow. Funds for this purchase would come from the New Land Commitments budget category. Recommendation: I recommend that you adopt the accompanying Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Authorizing Acceptance of Purchase Agreement, Authorizing Officer to Exe- cute 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 - Oden Property) . I further recommend that you tentatively adopt the Interim Use and Manage- ment Plan recommendations contained in this report, including naming the property as an addition to the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve, Mt. Umunhum Area, and indicate your intention to withhold the property from dedication.

Grench, General Manager I RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager; J. Boland, Operations Supervisor SUBJECT: Road Maintenance on Upper Crazy Pete' s Road, Coal, Creek Open Space Preserve Introduction: On July 15 , 1985 you received the attached letter from Juli and David Wexler regarding the ongoing road maintenance of the upper quarter-mile section of Crazy Pete' s Road (see map attached) . Staff has offered a solution outlined below to the Wexlers that is consistent with your attached Policies for Road Maintenance Agreements. However, they still wish to address the Board on the matter, since part of their concerns have dealt with staff' s response, or the alleged lack of it, to the road repair itself. Discussion: For the past two years staff has met with the Wexlers and Lynda Rose, the other road resident, and reached an informal verbal agreement on road repair responsibilities which has included funding on a strict one- third-per-party arrangement. This verbal agreement was a good faith effort on the staff' s part to work with the Wexlers and Lynda Rose in assuring that the road was maintained. This also was with the understanding that a written agreement would eventually be negotiated when the lawsuit over the road between a former property owner on the road, Mr. Hybl , and Lynda Rose had been resolved. This lawsuit is on appeal and continues to cloud a final written road agreement. The current Use and Management Plan for the site states that, although a verbal agreement had been reached with other adjoining owners on Crazy Pete' s Road for interim road repairs , the District would not participate further in repairs until the formal written road maintenance agreement had been done (see report R-84-25 dated May 8 , 1984) . Since the adoption of the Use and Management Plan, work was completed on the road by District staff in the early fall of 1984 that included brushing, scraping, sweeping, and some minor pot-hole filling. The thin asphalt screen surface has continued to deteriorate, and despite some honest differences of opinion with Mr. Wexler about the required level of repair and timing, staff did agree to aid in funding a better repair job this summer. Since that com- mitment was made, heavy trucks hauling out materials from the District' s demolition project contributed to the road deterioration. Estimates obtained last year to increase the level of repair were on the order of $4600. District funds earmarked for this work in the current � budget are only $500 and a n additional $ 1000 would be required in addition ion to some Ranger labor time) to pay the one-third District share, assuming R-85-41 Page Two the bids are the same as last year. More pressing funding priorities and budget constraints have dictated that the budget for repair on the road be minimal this fiscal year. Recommendation: I recommend that you direct staff to attempt to enter into a formal road agreement for Upper Crazy Pete' s Road with Lynda Rose and the Wexlers based on your adopted Policies for Road Maintenance Agree- ments, taking into account the possible outcomes of the lawsuit regarding the road construction. I also recommend that you authorize an overrun of up to $1000 in the District' s roads account to aid in completing the repair on the road and that you encourage staff to work in concert with the other property owners in accomplishing this repair before the winter rains arrive as based on the verbal agreement made in 1984 and contingent on securing the more long-term written road agreement. The first source of money to fund the overrun would be from the Open Space Management budget categories that end up being underspent. 1.

Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District shall only enter into road maintenance agreements which are consistent with existing goals and policies of the District, including protection of the natural beauty and ecological balance of any District lands in- volved. The agreements must take into account minimizing District costs over time, both for repair and maintenance as well as to minimize fire hazards, litter, unwarranted noise , erosion , negative visual impacts, disturbance of wildlife and vegetation , illegal vehicular use , and any other negative consequences of road im- provement. Site use and management plans shall address desired access road standards, repair, and improvement and shall identify other usage . 2. The District shall encourage road repair or maintenance to achieve a minimum rural standard necessary for District use. This is in- tended to discourage impervious surfacing , over-engineering, the extensive use of cut and fill or unwarranted vegetation removal along District-owned or access-easement roads, unless such work is considered necessary due to extreme grade or some other unusual or hazardous circumstances. Where another participant (s) in an agree- ment wants a higher level of road improvement (e.g. , asphalt surfacing) or maintenance without a demonstrated need of or benefit to the District, that party or parties shall bear the additional cost. The burden of proof that a higher level of road improvement is necessary or beneficial to the District and would in fact save the District money over time shall rest with the party desiring that improvement. Where an existing road is above the standards necessary for District use, participation by the District will be considered on a case by case basis. Every effort should be made to utilize preventative maintenance methods on the roads, including keeping drainage channels open and in good repair, trimming of encroaching or disruptive vegetation, regularly scheduled grading, and using of crushed rock or rip rap as necessary for stabilizing road base problem areas. 3. Road maintenance agreements entered into by the District will normally be legally binding documents. If the total cost of a given proposed road maintenance project is greater than $5000 , the proposed agree- ment shall be presented to the Board for approval. The determination for the District on what form the agreements should take shall be made by the General Manager or designee with advice from District Legal Counsel. Policies for Road Mai -:!nance Agreements (Page t 4. District participation in its share of costs of repair and mainten- ance for a mutually used roadway shall be made on vehicle usage by District personnel, the public permitted' by District , and District tenants. Access roads to District lands shall be gated where general public vehicular use. is not allowed; the District' s share of road maintenance shall not include the factor of general public vehicular use when other parties to a road agreement wish to have the road ungated and the District consents. The percentage share for payment shall ordinarily be determined by using the average number of vehicle trips per month made over the measured length of mutually utilized road. Where damage is caused by circumstances other than use, the sharing of the expenses shall be negotiated on a case by case basis. Equestrian, pedestrian, or bicycle usage shall not normally be considered for determining participation in costs for road repair. However, if that usage is shown by the party concerned to have a significant detrimental effect on repair and maintenance costs, the party responsible for the detrimental effect shall pay the extra costs. 5. All road agreements shall be made for a period of at least one year, and contain provision for periodic review of usage figures and District cost shares.

I feel this is a major departure from our previous discussion, and one which puts the value of such a transaction back up past the $1 ,000 , 000 mark. Your "new" idea is still pegged at $10,000 per acre and is nearly double the District's appraised value. Rather than belabor this further, maybe we should agree to suspend discussions as you suggest in the final paragraph of your letter. Sinc ely%,- nc-41 g rit�tonSR WA L.

UPDATE ON KINGS MOUNTAIN ASSOCIATION MEETING, July 18th Concerning the development for public use of the Purisima Canyon Open Space Preserve: The Midpcninsula Regional Open Space District is actively seeking input and suggestions regarding this development, and seeking opportunities to discuss planning for this Preserve with neighbors and local residents. To this ena, MROSD Land Manager David Hansen will attend the Thursday KMA meeting at the Kings Mountain Community CenterjFirehousc. If fire conditions permit it, the District's Chief of Operations, Jim Boland, will also attend. This is an active 'outreach" effort on their part. They want to provide information, discuss plans and alternatives, receive suggestions, and make every effort to function as conscientious good neighbors. They are more than willing to have additional meetings with Kings Mountain residents at other times in the next several weeks, if the community desires it. Please pass your comments along to KMA President Jim Warren at 851-7075. — Jim Warren MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT MEMORANDUM July 16 , 1985 TO: D. Hansen, Land Manager FROM: J. Boland, Operations Supervisor SUBJECT: Fire Update Numerous fires of suspicious origin have occurred on and adjacent to District property over the past two weeks. District Rangers have responded to and assisted with the suppression of almost all of these fires . Additionally, during the height of the "high fire danger" period, all District sites were closed to the public from July 9 to July 11 , 1985 . Several District rangers worked extended shifts , and the "crew" team suspended construction and maintenance activities in lieu of fire pre- vention patrol during portions of the two week period. Listed below is a chronological account of fire activity since July 1, 1985 : July 1 Major grass/brush fire in Los Altos Hills . Approximately 12 homes destroyed. Three District rangers assisted with the suppression of the fire. Cause: suspected arson. July 4 A string of arson fires set in the early morning along Monte Bello, Stevens Canyon, Mt. Eden Roads and State Highways 9 and 35 . District lands affected: Picchetti , about 1 acre, and Saratoga Gap at 1 . 5 acres . The California Department of Forestry, Central Fire and Stevens Creek Volunteer Fire Departments responded and suppressed all fires. No District personnel were contacted until late the same morning . July 6 - District Ranger staff began posting additional high danger signs at Preserve entrances. July 7 - Major grass and brush fire starts near Lexington Reservoir, south of Limekiln Canyon. Three District Rangers respond and assist until released by California Department of Forestry at 9 :30 p.m. Cause : suspected arson. Fire Update 7/16/85 Page Two July 8 Small grass and brush fire starts in Sanborn/Skyline County Park near the youth hostel . Five District Rangers respond and assist with the suppression of the fire. Boride bomber also used to knock down the flames. Cause: suspected arson. July 9 All District Preserves are closed due to high fire danger. Small grass and brush fire starts on Monte Bello Ridge at the C. Roustin property. Five District Rangers respond along with Central Fire; minimal loss. Cause: suspected short in overhead power line. July 10 All District lands remain closed. At approximately 8 : 30 p.m, a string of 3 arson fires were set in Stevens Canyon near Redwood Gulch Road, all on pri- vate property. Two District Rangers responded along with the Stevens Creek Volunteer Fire Department and Central Fire. Approximately 1 acre each. Descriptions and partial license numbers of 5 associated vehicles were recorded and relayed to the arson investigator. July 11 At 12 : 30 a.m. one District Ranger responds to report of possible string of fires along State Highway 9; however, unable to locate. At 1 : 30 a.m. three District Rangers respond to report of smoke odor along State Highway 35 near Kings Mountain. Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Department also responds. After 3 hours of searching, two District Rangers locate a smoldering redwood stump adjacent to several houses off Comstock Road. Cause: Children suspected of playing with matches on the tree stump earlier in the day. July 12 - With exception of Sierra Azul and Los Gatos Creek, all District sites are re-opened. July 15 - Report of smoke coming from site of earlier grass/brush fire at Sanborn-Skyline County Park. One District ranger responded and was cancelled before arrival . Cause: possible reignition of a hot spot from earlier fire. The ranger staff continued to operate under a high state of readiness for any subsequent fires which may occur on or adjacent to District property. Acreage totals (District land burned) - Sierra Azul approximately 200 acres (Carter, Mt. Thayer, Mt. Umunhum) - Saratoga Gap approximately 1 . 5 acres - Picchetti Ranch - approximately 0 .5 acres r i Harry H.

Azule Preserve Kennedy Road Area { I have been very aware of MROSD and land use over the past several years. As a taxpayer I have strongly { urged MOSD to make available the lands we have bought by providing safe and convienent access. I knew of no complaints by the public or by neighboring landowners where there have been parking facilities provided. The low-key and unobtrusive type pang facil- ities have added safety to the public by keeping vehicles 1 from parking on roadsides and in neighboring driveways . Further, where parking space has been provided the public 1 entrance to the open space has been better defined and neighbors have not been plagued with trespassing over their property by persons desiring to use the open space. I have discussed the proposed plans for Kennedy Road with ROSD staff and it appears the best and most l6gical solution to a potential dangerous and nuisance situation. l Harr H.

Sincerely yours, Teena Henshaw, President Board of Directors TH :ej 41/1cc: MROSD Board of Directors Herbert A.Grench,General Manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Nonette G.Hanko,Teena Henshaw,Richard S.Bishop,Edward G.Shelley,Harry A.Turner,Daniel G.Wendin MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT 375 DISTEL CIRCLE,SUITE D-1,LOS ALTOS,CALIFORNIA 94022 (415)965-4717 July 16 , 1985 Honorable Alfred Alquist, Senator (Identical letter mailed to California State Legislature Senator Rebecca Morgan) State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Senator Alquist: Assembly Bill 1456 by Assemblyman Clute is in its third reading on the Senate Floor. This bill would make citrus fruit fairs and county fairs eligible for grants under the 1984 Park and Recreation Bond Act. As an active participant in the Bond Act measure, I know that the voters were told that the proceeds would go to cities , counties , and districts which have traditionally provided park, beach, recreation and historic preservation services. There is so much competition for the limited funds among worthy projects that their distribution should not be further diluted by allowing citrus fairs , etc. to qualify. I respectfully request that you vote against AB 1456 . Sincerely yours, Herbert Grench General Manager HG:ej cc :VMROSD Board of Directors Senator Farr R. Heim, California Advocates , Inc.

A LAW CORPORATION 415 323-6636 POST OFFICE BOX 705 PALO ALTO,CA 94302 July 10, 1985 David William Hansen Land Manager Mid Peninsula Regional Open Space District 375 Distel Circle Suite D1 Los Altos, CA 94022 Re: District Access to Grandview Drive Dear Mr. Hansen: On April 22, 1985 1 wrote to you a letter which was in response to your letter of April 19, 1985 and, very specifically in response to a November 29, 1983 Memo prepared by your legal intern. I note that I have not as yet received a response from you to any of the points which I have raised. This again puts you on notice that, except to such extent as your employees act as peace officers when they traverse Grandview Drive they and any invitees of the District are trespassers when they try to or actually do gain access to the Schilling Lake area. From your silence I assume that, upon mature consider and investigation you have ascertained that my position is correct and that you will respect the same. Very truly yours, Edward Nelson EN/cl cc: Ms. Barbara Seitle San Mateo County Board of Supervisors Honorable Rebecca Morgan Honorable Robert Naylor Mid-Peninstda Regional Open District Board of Directors MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT 375 DISTEL CIRCLE,SUITE 0-1,LOS ALTOS,CALIFORNIA 94022 (415)965.4717 July 16 , 1985 Mr. Paul E. Sagers, Director General Services Agency County of Santa Clara 1555 Berger Drive, Building 3 San Jose , CA 95112 Dear MrI.—Sage rs: Thank you for your letter dated June 6, 1985 regarding County Communi- cations Service contracts . I can fully appreciate the County's interest in defraying some of its costs for providing radio communications ser- vices to non-County entities. It is my understanding that your basis for cost-sharing J.s to recoup a prorated amount of your operations expenses from those users of County dispatching services which do not contribute a reciprocal or similarly valued service. Additionally, I have learned that a random sampling of District related radio traffic was used to determine roughly the District's annual share. In the interest of equity I wish to call to your attention a variety of contributions our rangers routinely make to various County departments of public service at no cost to the County. 1) District rangers, by virtue of a mutual aide agreement, provide primary patrol , fire suppression, maintenance, and after-hours security services for the Rancho San Antonio County Park located in Los Altos. 2) District rangers , on a secondary response basis , routinely provide mutual aide assistance to County Park personnel at the Sanborn Skyline and Stevens Creek County Parks. 3) District rangers have occasionally given assistance to County sheriffs deputies off District land as an interim measure until additional County units have arrived on the scene. 4) District rangers routinely assist County Animal Control officers with the apprehension, confinement, and transport of stray or injured animals both on and off District land. Wendin Herbert A.Grench,General Manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Nonette G.manko,Teena Henshaw,Richard S.Bishop,Edward G.Shelley,Harry A.Turner,Daniel G. Mr. Paul E. Sagers July 15, 1985 Page Two 5) District rangers often give assistance to the Central Fire Protec- tion District on emergency matters such as wild-land fires, res- cues , medical assists , and traffic accidents. 6) The District, in concert with the County, has constructed new trails , installed hiking/equestrian stiles and erected informational signs on County park property at its own expense. It is for the reasons which I have listed, among others, that I believe more than an off-setting reciprocity of services does exist and should continue for quite some time. Therefore, I propose that the fee of approx- imately $2 ,000 per year for radio dispatching services be eliminated from the contract agreement. Should you wish to arrange a meeting to explore this matter further, I would be happy to attend along with the District's Land Manager, David Hansen, and Operations Supervisor, Jim Boland. Thank you.
