As a member of ROMP—Responsible Organized Mountain Pedalers,and a citizen who frequents the trails of Los Gatos and surrounding areas,I am appalled at the lack of timeliness(on your part),it has taken to get this issue resolved. I would like to see the immediate opening of the El Sereno Open Space Preserve;the fence torn down or an alternative route built as soon as possible. It has come to my attention through a flyer put out by COSA(Committee for Open Space Access),that a property owner on Sheldon Road has offered Mid-Pen an alternate route for trail users.I am also informed that you,the Board of Directors,have voted NOT to build this proposed route on the free property. I'm appalled by your lack of poor judgement refusing to redirect the trail on this free land,but by tying up the court system on an issue that could have seemingly been solved early this year. This is not the first instance I have read,where Mid-Peninsula Open Space employees and Board members have sat on their hands, while private citizens have waged the war on open access. The Mt.Uhumnum and Mt.Hamiliton areas are a hotbed of activity concerning gun-toting land-owners and citizens who would like access to these parklands. It seems Mid-Pen only takes a stance when the Mercury News gets involved or a lawsuit materializes. I would like to ask what you are doing currently to provide me access to El Sereno and would like a reply to my letter. I look forward to reading about what steps you have recently taken to planning an alternate trail/route, removing the fence from the existing trail head or other solutions that would quickly solve this on-going dilemma. Summer is upon us now—the best time to be out enjoying nature and the trails. I hope that you and the property owners of Sheldon Road could see eye-to eye and make a decision before the COSA lawsuit forces the hand of justice to prevail. While I'm happy if the lawsuit forces the issue of removing the illegal fence,I am saddened by the fact that citizens had to go to court to sue for the right to enter public property. Isn't that what you folks get paid for? Regards, 4 Linda Kahn Open Space s 1 • V! MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT DRAFT RESPONSE PREPARED BY STAFF FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION Linda Kahn 3051 Colonial Way #33 San Jose, CA 95128 Dear Ms . Kahn: The District' s Board of Directors reviewed your July 3 letter concerning the Sheldon Road access to our El Sereno Open Space Preserve at our regular meeting last night. We were somewhat disturbed by the tone of your letter, which perhaps was based on misinformation. For example, you may be under the impression that Mt. Hamilton and your very own city of residence, San Jose, are within the District boundaries , but they are not. We therefore receive no revenue from and have no responsibility for any lands in those areas. However, we are still glad to answer your questions to the best of our ability. We appreciate your interest in the recreational benefits , as well as the public accessibility, of our preserves . Although we are also concerned about providing access to our lands, recreational use is not always the primary reason for acquiring and preserving some properties . El Sereno Open Space Preserve was originally acquired to provide a scenic backdrop to the Los Gatos and Saratoga area. In addition, the protection of the native flora and fauna and watershed preservation were crucial. Recreational use was considered limited due to the poor access , lack of trails , and the steepness of the site. I The Board is aware of the increase of bicycle and pedestrian use of Sheldon Road, the conflict with the neighbors , and subsequent fencing which has occurred. Our Board and staff have worked to: 1) Locate an affordable regional access point along the northern boundary of the preserve, and 2) Encourage a reasonable compromise between COSA and the Sheldon Road neighbors . You mention an offer for an "alternative route" for trail users and refer to an article in the San Jose Mercury News . The area in question is not "free" and would not create safe regional public access to the site. The trail route that would utilize this parcel would simply transfer public use .,to Overlook Road, another private road. In addition, the high cost to complete the project precluded District' s ability to pursue the exchange. 201 San Antonio Circle,Suite C-135 • Mountain View,California 94040 • Phone:(415)949-5500 • FAX:(415)949-5679 General Manager:Herbert Grench Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Robert McKibbin,Teena Henshaw,Ginny Babbitt,Nonette Hanko,Betsy Crowder,Richard Bishop We continue to hope that solutions are found to resolve this issue but the District feels caught in the middle on this matter.

Umunhum Area of Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve Dear Judge Creed: The District ' s Board of Directors was pleased to consider the Grand Jury' s report regarding the Mt. Umunhum Area of the District ' s Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve at our meetings of June 21 and July 24 . We appreciate the Grand Jury' s fact-finding about this difficult access matter. This letter is the Board ' s response to the report and recommendations . 1) Preparation of a legal opinion regarding the public ' s right to cross the existing paved road on the way to the top of Mt . Umunhum is in process and is expected to be completed within six months . This is a very complicated matter and there are several major issues that must be researched. Of course, even when the opinion is completed, it will surely be contested by area property owners. 2) The District ' s self-restrictive policies regarding use of eminent domain do allow for its use as a last resort. However, the District has been able to negotiate over the last several years purchase of eight of the twelve properties that include the road without use of eminent domain. This approach has avoided negative landowner and public sentiment regarding use of eminent domain, expenditure of funds for legal "fees and court costs , and possible excess payments for the lands . Until the federal government completes its clean-up of the former Almaden Air Force Base, there is no good public destination point near the top. This completion, which could easily take another two years , allows time for preparation of the legal opinion and for further attempts to negotiate purchase of additional property rights along the road, before resorting to legal action. 3) District staff has been instructed to review and revise materials distributed to the public regarding access to the Mt. Umunhum Area so as to inform citizens more clearly about the existing situation. 201 San Antonio Circle,Suite C-135 • Mountain View,California 94040 • Phone:(415)949-5500 • FAX:(415)949-5679 General Manager:Herbert Grench Board ofDirectors:Katherine Duffy,Robert McKibbin,Teena Henshaw,Ginny Babbitt,Nonette Hanko,Betsy Crowder,Richard Bishop 4) The District ' s general manager, assistant general manager, and operations supervisor met with Sheriff Gillingham and his aide on July 2.

Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: C. Britton, Acting Land Manager; D. woods , Principal Open Space Planner; S . Marioni Cochran, Associate Open Space Planner SUBJECT: Amendment to the Use and Management Plan for Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve and Authorization to Solicit Bids for Reconstruction of the Deer Hollow Farm Access Bridge Recommended Actions : 1 . Adopt the amendment to the Use and Management Plan for the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve to allow for the reconstruction of the access bridge to Deer Hollow Farm. 2 . Authorize staff to advertise for bids for the reconstruction of the access bridge to Deer Hollow Farm in Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve in accordance with the plans and specifications to be presented. Discussion: At your April 25 , 1990 meeting, you adopted the Comprehensive Use and Management Plan for Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve (see report R-90-57 dated April 13 , 1991) . Several weeks after the plan was adopted, the assistant fire chief for the Town of Los Altos contacted District staff regarding the access bridge to Deer Hollow Farm. The assistant fire chief expressed concern over the structural condition of the bridge and whether it would safely accommodate fire and emergency vehicles . Adequate emergency vehicle access is an important concern to the Los Altos Fire Department, because of the high level of public activity that occurs in the farm area of the preserve. In response to the assistant fire chief ' s request , the District contracted with a civil engineer to evaluate the structural condition of the bridge. The engineer ' s structural analysis concluded that the existing bridge e should be limited to a maximum of six tons , well below the gross weight of a fire truck. The engineer recommended that the existing bridge be replaced with a new bridge meeting this additional weight requirement. R-91-91 Page 2 Staff discussed alternative emergency access routes into the farm with Los Altos Fire and Santa Clara County Central Fire Protection District. The farm complex is currently located within the jurisdiction of the Los Altos Fire Department. However, Central Fire Protection District often assists Los Altos Fire if an emergency occurs in the farm area, and will ultimately incorporate the farm area within its jurisdiction. The deputy fire marshal for Central Fire has also expressed concern over adequate emergency access into the farm complex. The most direct farm access route for Los Altos Fire and Central Fire is via St. Joseph' s Avenue or Cristo Rey Drive through Rancho San Antonio County Park. Both of these routes cross the farm access bridge before entering the farm complex. The alternative access is via Ravensbury Road and the road through Rogue Valley. The dirt road through Roque Valley is unsurfaced and often remains impassable during the rainy season. To make this a viable emergency access route to the farm, it would be necessary to resurface many sections of this road with baserock. This would not only be costly and detract from the aesthetic and wilderness quality of Roque Valley, it would also require continual maintenance . Based on input from Los Altos Fire and Central Fire, staff determined it was essential to reconstruct the bridge at Deer Hollow Farm for emergency vehicle access . Staff contracted with the engineer who performed the structure analysis of the existing bridge to prepare plans and specifications , and a construction cost estimate for the replacement bridge. Staff also contracted with a geotechnical engineer to do a soils and foundation study for the project. Plans and specifications for the replacement bridge are now complete and have been submitted to Santa Clara County for the required permits . The County Board of Supervisors has authorized the project to be implemented prior to their consideration of the Conditional Use Permit which is being prepared for the entire preserve. The Conditional Use Permit is being required as a "de facto" permit as it was determined early this year a Conditional Use Permit was never prepared prior to establishing the farm and ranger facilities . The plans have been reviewed and approved by the California Department of Fish and Game, and Santa Clara Valley Water District . The assistant fire chief for Los Altos Fire and the deputy fire marshall for Santa Clara County Central Fire Protection District have also reviewed and approved the plans . Construction costs for the replacement bridge are estimated at $115, 000 , assuming District staff initiates a portion of the site preparation work. Plan checking and building permit fees will be $1 , 422. A contract administrator may be employed to oversee the construction on behalf of the District. The construction period will last two to three months . -- --------------------- - - - -- -- R-91-91 Page 3 Seventy-thousand dollars has been budgeted for the project. However,the cost of the project was underestimated at the time of budget preparation due to the lack of a complete geotechnical study to determine the scope of required foundation work. Additional funds will be transferred from other scheduled projects not requiring urgent attention and unlikely to occur due to complications in obtaining permits . These projects are: 1) trail construction at Windy Hill Open Space Preserve; 2) Stevens Creek bridge construction at Monte Bello Open Space Preserve; 3) Alpine Dam restoration at Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve; 4) Ravensbury Road improvements at Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve; and 5) pedestrian bridge at Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve. Compliance with CEQA: The project contained herein is determined to be categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines .

Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: C . Britton, Acting Land Manager; D. Woods , Principal Open Space Planner; M. Gundert , Open Space Planner SUBJECT: Preparation of Plans and Specifications for Public Access Improvements at Windy Hill Open Space Preserve Recommended Action: Authorize staff to enter into a professional services contract with Callander Associates to prepare plans and specifications for public access improvements at Windy Hill Open Space Preserve in an amount not exceed $35 , 000 . Introduction: You adopted the Use and Management Plan for Windy Hill Open Space Preserve June 12 , 1991 (see report R-91-70 dated June 16 , 1991) . Staff was directed to prepare plans and specifications for the public access improvements at the Portola Road entrance to the preserve. Upon completion, the plans and specifications will be used to seek grant funding for implementation of the project. The plans and specifications are to be based on the conceptual plans for access improvements that were previously approved by the Town of Portola Valley when the lower portion of Windy Hill was acquired. The access improvements include widening Portola Road to provide a turning lane, entry driveway, and parking area for approximately 50 vehicles . Discussion: Three landscape architectural firms were asked to submit proposals for the preparation of plans and specifications for the access improvements . Two of the firms submitted proposals on June 24 . The third firm expressed interest in the project but , due to a busy workload, declined the invitation. The two proposals were closely examined, and the landscape architects were interviewed extensively. Additional information was requested from each to clarify their proposals . Staff recommends contracting with Callander Associates . Their proposal and interview presented a comprehensive analysis of the project, emphasizing the complex issues surrounding the highway improvement and undergrounding of utilities . This recommendation is based on the combination of various factors including: 1) extensive research of site development constraints; 2) investigation into the complexities involved in undergrounding R-91-89 Page 2 the utilities; 3) experience in preparing similar plans for the Town of Portola Valley; 4) experience working with District staff in developing public access improvement at Ravenswood Open Space Preserve; 5) lowest projected cost of professional fees; and 6) allowance for cost of reasonable changes . The projected cost of professional fees is $32 , 380 and breaks down as follows : A) Topographic Survey $7 , 080 B) Preliminary Design $5, 400 C) Construction Document $19 , 900 The projected cost compares to $35, 170 in the second proposal submitted by Hardesty Associates . Provisions for reimburseable expenses and additional tasks may be further negotiated before entering into contract. These are minor unanticipated tasks which have not been outlined in either of the two proposals , but may come to mind during the drafting of the final contract. The total amount of the contract will not exceed $35, 000 . Funds in the amount of $23 , 000 are included in the current budget. Additional funds are available, including $20, 000 for El Corte de Madera dump cleanup planning, but not specifically provided for in this project. The preliminary estimate for constructing the public access improvements is $250, 000 to $300, 000 . The complicating factors responsible for expensive professional and construction costs include: 1) the highway improvements requiring a large amount of imported fill and paving; 2) unusual drainage constraints relating to Sausal Dam and potential flooding; and 3) under- grounding utilities .

Discussion: Open Space America (OSA) is hosting and coordinating the next international open space conference. The conference will be held May 3-7 , 1992 in Cape May, New Jersey. A group of people in the east is busy putting the conference together. As was the case for the 1990 International Open Space Conference hosted by the District, co-sponsors are being sought to lend prestige to and provide funding for the event. Thus far, the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Marin County Open Space District, East Bay Regional Park District, and Prudential-Bache have joined OSA in co-sponsoring the meeting. A minimum contribution of $1,000 is required. As a co-sponsor, the District would receive national and international recognition in the conference program. We would help in open space information-sharing and in building of political support, which should accrue back to the District , making the contribution well justified. Although this item was not specifically budgeted, $1 , 000 should be available due to expected lower District travel expenses than were anticipated at budget preparation time.

Hanko, President SUBJECT: Replacement on Finance Committee Recommended Action: Approve my replacement of Director McKibbin with Director Crowder on the Finance Committee. Discussion: Director McKibbin has informed me that because of the press of his schedule he feels that he will not be able to devote sufficient time to the Finance Committee and would rather focus his attention to other District business . Director Crowder has agreed to replace him. 201 San Antonio Circle,Suite C-1 35 • Mountain View,California 94040 • Phone:(415)949-5500 • FAX:(415)949-5679 General Manager:Herbert Grench Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Robert McKibbin,Teena Henshaw,G inny Babbitt,Nonette Hanko,Betsy Crowder,Richard Bishop Open Space MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT TO: Board of Directors FROM: H.

This bill would enact the Coastal and Riparian Resource Bond Act of 1992. Your Assembly District, including the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, have, of course, benefitted greatly from such bond acts and would again if this one is approved by the voters. I assume that the content of SB 710, as well as other park and resource bond acts in the hopper, will eventually be merged with AB 72 (Assembly Member Cortese) , the Governor ' s proposal . In the meantime we respectfully request your support of the SB 710 component.

Haeussler, Jr. 1094 Highland Circle Los Altos, CA 94024 July , 5, 1991 Trail Use Subcommittee MROSD 201 San Antonio Circle Mountain View, CA 94040 Re: Trail Use Guidelines At your first meeting on May 23, 1 felt the subcommittee was following the same procedure as the Trail Use Policy Committee, in that : Use of material submitted by MROSD staff as the basis for deliberations, and listening to the public comments on this staff material only. It seemed to me there was no seeking of other ideas or possible formats from the public. I feel that the staff presented Chart A has a "negative" tone to it in that its title refers to "conflicts" , and the added "use impacts" . Lets start with a positive outlook on trail use. For example: All trails are multi-use trails, and will remain so until such time as they are deemed unsafe for specific purposes. Only after just cause and complete and fair public hearings may a trail be deemed unsafe and closed to specific use or uses . But first, I propose an intensive effort to determine just what the trail use public want in their trails . This could entail board member and staff meetings with various trail using groups at their regular meetings; sending teams onto the trails to interview people using the trails on their desires (on weekdays as well as weekends ) ; public notice meetings to which the public is invited to present their views . CO Some of my thoughts on trails are: Where possible, trails shall be part of a loop so the user does not have to retrace the same route to return to the starting point. Each preserve, where possible, should have one-half hour, hour, two hour, etc. loops, signed accordingly with distance, approximate time to traverse, and possible difficulty of use. Where trails must be narrow (crossing steep terrain) there could be two somewhat parallel trails, one for each direction (divided highways?) , to make the trail multi-use. There should be more areas on the trail where people could stop, rest, enjoy the view, and even picnic(even tables ) . These are some of my immediate thoughts on the subject. I realize that if you go to the public it will take time - I will possibly be 76, not 75 as quoted in the newspaper, but so be it if the public is to really be involved. Harry H.

Middlefield Rd. #32 Mountain View, CA 94043 June 10, 1991 Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District 201 San Antonio Circle Mountain View, CA Old Mill Office Center Bld.0 Suite 135 Dear Gentle people, I would like to thank the rangers who came to our aid on Friday, May 24 at Monte Bello Ridge Preserve. It turned out that we did not need them, but it was comforting to know they were there. I do have a concern. When I went to find a phone to get help, I discovered that there is not a public phone on Skyline Blvd. between Skylonda (hiway 84) and the fire station near Saratoga Gap. I chose to go to the fire station. This took me almost 20 minutes . Had this been a serious injury or condition, it could have been life threatening. The Skyline and Ridge trails have been getting a lot of good press recently and my concern is that this publicity may draw unprepared and inexperienced hikers to the area without having any way of getting help if they need it. Does the phone comany have plans install cellular phones along skyline as thepy have done on hiway 17, 101 and other roads? Is there anything I can do to further my concern? Please inform me about this issue. Sincerely, BJ Hem Open Space MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT June 28, 1991 BJ Hem 500 Middlefield Road, #32 Mountain View, CA 94043 Dear BJ Hem: Thank you for your June 10, 1991 letter regarding rangers who came to your aid at Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. I am pleased to hear that the situation was not serious. I understand your concern about the lack of a public telephone in the area. A telephone was installed several years ago. Unfortunately, it was repeatedly vandalized and subsequently removed by the telephone company. We do have plans to install a phone next year at Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve, where it can be better protected by our ranger staff. In the meantime, you may want to contact CalTrans and Pacific Bell about the possibility of providing an emergency phone along Skyline Boulevard, Sincerely, L.

The California winners are the Asilomar Board of Directors in Pacific Grove, the California Coastal Commission in San Francisco, and the California Recreational Trails Committee in Sacramento._ The program's California administrator, the California Department of Parks and Recreation, announced the California winners this week. The Take Pride in America awards recognize outstanding volunteer, grassroots efforts by individuals and groups in protecting and preserving our natural and cultural resources. The Asilomar Board of Directors of the Pacific Grove-Asilomar Operating Corporation is honored for its restoration of about 60 acres of dunes in the Asilomar State Beach and conference grounds. Working in conjunction with the California Department of Parks and Recreation, this non-profit organization directed the installation of over two miles of trails and boardwalks to help preserve the dunes while accommodating public use. Interpretive displays and materials were developed to enhance public awareness about the sensitivity and unique qualities of the Asilomar dune environment. The California Coastal Commission, headquartered in San Francisco, won for sponsoring the annual Adopt-A-Beach program. For six years, the commission has organized this statewide coastal clean-up involving hundreds of volunteers from public and private groups. The program also includes education and community awareness activities. The annual statewide Trail Days was the award-winning project for the California Recreational Trails Committee in Sacramento. In 1990, over 5,000 volunteers participated in more than 110 projects to build, maintain and clean up trails. The committee is appointed by the Governor to advise the Director of the Department of parks and Recreation in the development and coordination of the California trails system. more r, California Department of Parks and Recreation June 7, 1991 Page 2 Nearly 800 nominations for the 1990 awards program were considered from 47 states and the District Of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Britton, Land Acquisition Manager M. Hale, Public Communications Coordinator J. Fiddes , Administrative Services Manager D. Woods , Principal Open Space Planner J . Escobar , Operations Supervisor RE: Move to 330 Distel Circle This is to advise you that The Steinberg Group has just given me a revised project schedule for the 330 Distel remodel . The current projected move-in date is now out to mid February. The primary reason for this extension is that schematic design, scheduled for completion in three weeks , actually took eleven weeks to accomplish. This was primarily due to the many layers of review and comment required by the District ' s composition and the desire to obtain input from as many people as possible at this stage. Additionally, the consulting engineers have recommended that we extend the project construction period by two weeks to be more realistic. I will be working hard with The Steinberg Group to try to stay on this new schedule , but will keep you informed if there are additional delays . 201 San Antonio Circle,Suite C-1 35 • Mountain View,California 94040 • Phone:(415)949-5500 FAX:(415)949-5679 General Manager:Herbert Grench Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Robert McKibbin,Teena Henshaw,Ginny Babbitt,Nonette Hanko,Betsy Crowder,Richard Bishop Claims No. 91-14 Meeting 91-24 Date: July 24, 1991 REVISED MIDPENINSLJLA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT # Amount Name Description 961 250.00 Acme and Sons Sanitation Sanitation Services 962 208.23 Barron Park Supply Company Equipment Parts 963 595.00 Diane Blackman Reimbursement--Training Registration 964 13.48 Baker Graphics, Inc.
