Motion: W. de Wit moved that the Board approve the Written Communication as amended. R. McKibbin seconded the motion. The motion passed 5 to 0. Vill. BOARD..BUS A. 1994-1995 Salary R District's Office, Supervisory, and Manage ment Staff (Report R-94-_35) C. Britton reported that the 1994 salary survey data reflects that the majority of surveyed agencies have not yet determined 1994 cost of living adjustments (COLAs) but, those that have, have increased ranges by 0% to 3.5%. He said the CPI index data shows a 1.3% change for all urban consumers category and a 1.0% change for the urban wage earners and clerical workers category in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area and that he recommends a 2.5% across-the-board cost-of-living salary adjustment effective April 1, 1994 for office, supervisory and management staff. Motion: B. Crowder moved that the Board approve the 1994-1995 salary pay plan, including a 2.5% salary range adjustment for the District's office, supervisory, and management staff. R. McKibbin seconded the motion. The motion passed 5 to 0. B. Acceptance of Insurance Coverage for 1994-1995 (Report 94-40) J. Fiddes reported that the District's insurance broker, Flinn, Gray & Herterich, submitted a bid package for auto, umbrella liability, public entity errors and omissions coverage, and fidelity bond insurance coverage totaling $138,950. She said the total is $334 less than the 1993-1994 insurance premiums. She added that staff will do a thorough analysis of the District's overall insurance program in the coming year and will report back to the Board. Meeting 94-10 Page 3 Skip McIntyre of Flinn, Gray & Herterich said premiums are down because the District has been lass-free in the past year and has an exceptional risk management program. Motion: R. McKibbin moved that the Board accept the package (property and general liability), auto, umbrella liability, public entity errors and omissions coverage, and fidelity bond insurance coverage bid totalling $138,950 from Flinn, Gray & Herterich based on the quotations from CIGNA, General Accident, Fireman's Fund, Swett & Crawford, and Chubb for the period of April 1, 1994 through March 31, 1995. B. Crowder seconded the motion. The motion passed 5 to 0. C. Adoption of Budget for Fiscal Year 1994-1995 (Report R-94-34) C. Britton noted that the Board had reviewed the proposed budget at its March 9 meeting and that there had been no changes or additional comments. He said that staff proposed filling the second, regular full-time planning technician position effective April 1. Motion: R. McKibbin moved that the Board adopt Resolution 94-14, a Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Adopting the Budget for Fiscal Year 1994-1995. N. Hanko seconded the motion. The motion passed 5 to 0. Motion: R. McKibbin moved that the Board authorize the filling of the second, regular full-time planning technician position effective April 1, 1994. N. Hanko seconded the motion. The motion passed 5 to 0. M. Foster, the District's Controller, presented long-term cash flow projections covering four different assumptions of revenue and operating expense growth, and the amount of funding available for land purchases during the period 1994-2004 under each set of assumptions. He concluded that if CALPAW'94 is not approved and no other significant source of new revenue is found, the continuation of a meaningful land acquisition program would be dependent upon tight control of operating expense growth. He said that CALPAW's passage has a significantly favorable impact on the District's financial model, not only funding $60 million of near-term acquisitions, but allowing the District to store its excess debt capacity until the end of the decade resulting in a healthy, steady, manageable acquisition program. D. Appointment of Auditor for 1993-1994 Fiscal Year (Report R-94-38) M. Foster said that Deloitte and Touche has served as the District's auditors for the last fifteen years. He said that the estimated fee of $11,250 is about 40-50% below their normal fees. He noted that different staff from Deloitte and Touche conduct the audit each year. Motion: N. Hanko moved that the Board appoint Deloitte and Touche as the District's auditors for the fiscal year 1993-1994. R. McKibbin seconded the motion. The motion passed 5 to 0. Meeting 94-10 Page 4 E. Adoption of Revised Employee (Ranger) Residence Policies (Retort R-94-37) J. Escobar reviewed the reasons for revising the District's residence policies. He said that after the Board's adoption of the Employee Residence Policies, the General Manager will approve administrative guidelines for the residence program. Motion: B. Crowder moved that the Board adopt the Employee Residence Policies. R. McKibbin seconded the motion. The motion passed 5 to 0. F. Revision of District's Rules of Procedure to Incorporate Brown Act Changes (LR=rt R-94 39) C. Britton reported that on April 1, 1994 legislation becomes effective that makes a number of substantive changes to the Brown Act and that the District's Rules of Procedure require amendment to reflect the changes. He stated that a mini-workshop/study session is being planned to brief the Board on these changes in more detail. P. Siemens suggested an appendix attached to the Rules of Procedure would be helpful in understanding exactly what is required for agenda formats, closed sessions, etc. C. Britton said the Board's new legal counsel could be assigned the project. Motion: N. Hanko moved that the Board adopt Resolution 94-15, a Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Amending the District's Rules of Procedure. B. Crowder seconded the motion. The motion passed 5 to 0. Ix. INFORMATIONAL REPORTS R. McKibbin requested a report on legislative status, and C. Britton responded that he talks with R. Heim weekly and will keep the Board informed of activities in Sacramento. He said there have not been any meaningful debates to date on the State's budget. R. Anderson reported that the District was awarded a $132,000 grant to improve public access at Windy Hill Open Space Preserve from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. J. Escobar reported there were three bicycle accidents on District preserves and two resulted in broken shoulders. He said the accidents occurred at St. Joseph's, Sierra Azul, and Fremont Older Open Space Preserves. M. Smith reported that a VIP tour for Santa Clara County officials was planned for Saturday, May 14 and the Board confirmed that date. He said all Board members were invited to attend and it would be a noticed meeting. C. Britton distributed a staff activities memo and an action plan and workshop calendar. He said a Board workshop on acquisition preservation methods will be held on May 18 at 7:30 P.M. C. Britton reported that he and M. Smith attended a CALPAW meeting and presented a map, which was produced by the Bay Area Open Space Council, that will be included in a campaign mailing. He said he and M. Smith volunteered at a CALPAW '94 phone bank. Meeting 94-10 Page 5 C. Britton reported that he received a letter from Patrick Sanchez of San Mateo County regarding a joint meeting with the Parks and Recreation Commission to discuss the San Francisco watershed, designation of trails for bicycle use, and funding. C. Britton said that he and M. Smith will meet with Tom Campbell on April 1, and B. Crowder, P. Siemens, and R. McKibbin said they would like to attend. C. Britton said that if there are no Board objections the hiring process will begin for the unfilled, budgeted Land Acquisition Secretary position. There were no objections expressed. X.

In the new Rules of Procedure, section 1 . 54, Closed Sessions, paragraph four, requires public report on action taken and the vote or abstention of every board member. I trust that the above requirement means that EVERY board meeting will have minutes -published, even though there in no action taken and no votes taken. If this is not the case, than I request that final paragraph be added to Section 1 . 54 to the effect that all closed session meetings will have minutes published. I realize there are no minutes published on the closed sessions . Harry H. Haeussler, Jr. Open Space MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT DRAFT RESPONSE PREPARED BY STAFF FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION Mr. Harry Haeussler 1094 Highland Circle Los Altos, CA 94024-7016 Dear Harry: Thank you for your April 13 letter regarding the recent change in the Rules of Procedure about closed sessions. The Board of Directors reviewed your letter at our Regular Meeting last night, and once again we thank you for your continuing interest in the District and its activities. In accordance with the recent changes in the Brown Act and as noted in the fourth paragraph of the new Section 1.54 of the Rules of Procedure, after any closed session, the Board will reconvene into open session prior to adjournment and will publicly report any action taken in closed session and the vote or abstention of every Board member present. These reports may be made orally or in writing. Since this "reporting out" of closed sessions will be done as part of the open public meeting, the minutes for the meeting will reflect the report of any action taken, as well as the vote or abstention of each Board member present. The District has published minutes for all regular and special meetings of the Board of Directors, even meetings held for a particular closed session item. In the spirit of the "new" Brown Act, future minutes will allow members of the public to review the reported actions or votes taken by the Board in closed session.

I witnessed an incident that was totally counter to the intent, and rules, of MPROSD and have written to bring it to your attention. Toward the end of our hike I distanced the group and was the first person to reach the automobiles parked along Allen Road. I had just emerged from the redwood forest through which the service road trends when I noticed a group of five youths circumventing the small cattle pond located northwest and downslope from the parking area. The group was lead by a post-pubescent teenager carrying what proved to be a BB gun, two pubescenucarrying fishing rods, and two pre-teens each carrying large buckets, nets and other collecting paraphernalia. Obviously a big-game hunt with all the intentions of those who would take a Siberian Tiger with their bare hands. I watched this curious ensemble, the shirtless teenager in the lead, with his attentive and submissive group following lockstep in descending order by age and height. The leader, out-in-front and zig-zagging back-and-forth in an effort to raise "game" was taking pot-shots with his gun at any form of flying animal that he happened to cross paths with; primarily blackbirds in and around the pond. I watched these logistics of big game hunting for several minutes; the shirtless leader out front zigging and a zagging while his rag-tag "army" split and coalesced doing their best to maintain pace and footing while fighting brush. Finally something different happened. The shirtless leader suddenly ran out front of the group and, either by sheer luck or the knowledge of what types of animals like to hunker down under boards (I was too far away to see where he found it) the shirtless leader dropped to all fours and sprang up shouting ebulliently with an adult snake in hand. He immediately thrust his snake clutching arm into the air and performed a "jig" while shouting triumphantly. It reminded me of a silver back mountain gorilla proclaiming his territory and supremacy. Next he signaled his pre-teen junior subordinates (a.k.a. the corporals) to come forward at which point one corporal produced a muslin sack which he dutifully held wide-open while the leader dropped the snake into the sack and secured the top with a tie. While these events were unfolding I was walking up the service road toward the automobiles intermittently halting, in plain view, to observe and consider. (My first consideration was the nature of the gun; BB gun, 22 caliber rifle or what). Having P.O. Box 620502 Woodside, CA 94062 Page 2 attained the road while the aforementioned activities were being played out I walked several dozen yards in the direction of the entrance to Allen Road, located a high point at the top of the potrero containing the pond, and proceeded to nonchalantly lie down, legs in front resting my upper body on my elbows; facing squarely this band of young hunters joyously and resolutely walking perpendicular to the slope in my direction. Finally they made notice of me; and immediately changed their course a full 45 degrees of arc to avoid me. Well, not being one to shy away from adversity, especially when confronted by resolute hunters who surely could on a moments threat make me into something approaching bait for the bear, I stood up and walked their way. Almost immediately they changed course yet again at which point I too changed course, walking across contour and descending to the point where we would, and did, meet. Here is the crux of the conversation that transpired between me and the shirtless leader: "You boys live around here?" "Yes." "Do you know you're on public land? This is a preserve owned by the MidPeninsula Open Space District; a publicly funded agency that purchases and maintains land for the public." "Yes." "if a ranger saw you with that gun on Open Space property do you know what he would do to you." "No." "Probably arrest you." "Oh." "It's against the law to carry firearms on Open Space property, let alone hunt in a Preserve." "Oh." "What do you have in the muslin sack." "A snake" "Do you know it is against the law to collect animals on Open Space property?." "No." "What do you plan to do with the snake." "Give it to my uncle. He collects snakes." "Why don't you turn the snake loose so it can live a free and full life." "OK. (bag opened, turned upside down, snake drops out and slithers away)." "There will be more of us in the future. Keep your antennas up and you'll live longer." "Yes Sir." P.O. Box 620502 Woodside, CA 94062 Page 3 So it was a comical encounter with a curious display of teenage macho, warrior- hunter mentality, and fortuitous encounter of a "preservationist" and a motley crew of would be tiger hunter. Maybe the District should sign the preserves (especially the fresh water habitats in which animals abound) telling people snake collecting, fishing, bird-shooting and tiger taking is taboo. Observe living things, don't molest them. Yours, 10".k Robert Zatkin P.O.

Box 620502 Woodside, CA 94062 Dear Mr. Zatkin: Thank you for your April 18, 1994 letter regarding your experience with "big game hunters" at La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve. At our regular meeting last night, the District's Board of Directors reviewed your comments. We are pleased that you took the time to notify us of the incident. The Board appreciates your effort to protect wildlife. District staff is in the r p ocess of installing new regulation signs on open space i preserves. These signs will inform the public that possessing firearms and disturbing wildlife are not allowed. We hope you will continue to enjoy the open space preserves.

As I told Malcolm, I've watched this fragile jewel churned up by mountain bikes, silently, long enough. I've got to do what I can to swing the useage balance back towards popular enjoyment of the woodland experience, and away from yet another thrill ride for an immature few. Most recent observations, by my wife and myself, Saturday (March 26), the main Purissima Creek trail (old logging road), within a mile of the parking lot: The trail surface is being churned into deep sneaker-sucking muck, by the bikes. Malcolm agreed that some pictures might help describe the situation. The next weekend I took some photos in the first mile of the main trail. Prints are attached. These show some of the scores of 20-40 yard sections that are muddy and deeply rutted. In years past (I've hiked these trails since 1978) before bikes, even in the wet seasons the trail surface was an intact mat of leaves and pine needles, and one could walk past and leave no mark. The bikes cut thru this layer, leaving an impassable muck. In the past, long after the rains, run-off would trickle directly across the trail, in clear tiny 1-2' wide streams, which a child could step across (I've watched parents ease baby-strollers across). Now the ruts trap and elongate these little runoff streams, to make the 30-yard pits. Note further that the "trail" now is being widened, as the bikers cut farther out into the fragile ferns and i flowers to avoid their own ruts. The photos only suggest the impact, as the 8'-wide easy-walking path becomes a 40'-wide impassable gumbo, in scores of places in the first mile or so. The situation has dramatically reduced the use of the trail by parents with little kids and by old-timers. It is certainly less enjoyable for the rest of us. This is based solely on our observations and local conversations; I really have no statistics on use patterns. There's more. On that Saturday, three apparently otherwise sane young men PP e Y Y g had actually biked off the trail and were churning thru the creek!!! That creek is a bit of heaven! it's gorgeous! Not even a footprint since the loggers left 70 years ago.... salamanders, newts, frogs, minnows, probably steelies, and more ...and now they must try to survive the bikers? When confronted, the bikers laughingly pointed out that there were no signs posted that specifically told them to stay on the path. i!!! Good point.. Maybe a sign requiring common sense might help. I got no photos of their creek-bed mud-ruts, to show you, however. i Speaking of wildlife, we saw several bike-squashed banana slugs and two squashed newts, in that brief 1-mile hike. Hikers can usually see `em and help them across the trail out of danger. Not bikes. I have no numbers on kill probabilities, but this might be relevant: Hikers flatten -31 sq.in. per yard (size 9 sneaker Q3" X 11" in a 28" stride). Bikes flatten -162 sq.in. per yard (3" wide tread X 36 X 1.5 to cover the fact that the back tire rarely overlaps the front track). That means bikes squash more that 3 1/2 times as much area as hikers. Couple that with the fact that people can usually see and avoid stomping on the little beasties, and bikes never avoid them, and your relative kill ratio is obvious. Add the fact that there are now hundreds of yards of ruts for the little guys to struggle over, and to be exposed during the struggle, and you see my heartbreak. I'll not dwell on the mud-splashes, nor on the times we've had to leap into the bracken to avoid the speeding loonies on bikes. You've heard all that enough already. My focus is on the bikers' wet-season impact on the greenery, on the little beasties, and on people of all sizes who are being deprived lately of this otherwise magnificent deep green mountain stream experience. I understand vour need to provide a balanced pattern of use, to satisfy the needs of all, not just of those who cherish the beauty of the woods. I submit that a seasonal restriction could be fe asible easible compromise. Close the it p e trail to bikers from November thru April. This area is particularly vulnerable in the wet season, and exquisitely enjoyable, on foot. Its unique value simply cannot be experienced in the sweaty haze of the bikers uphill grind or the pounding downhill blur. This particular trail should not be dedicated essentially solely to bikers in the winter. There must be some local gravel roads that would satisfy the bikers' need to sweat uphill and speed down- hill, in the winter. (Note that I do have a mountain bike that I use appropriately, and have a couple kayaks that I use a lot, and that I'm not a crotchety old coot. I can understand how bikes can move people into a woodland experience. But I maintain that irresponsible bikers must not be allowed to destroy the woodland nor the critters, nor the experience for other people.) Anything you can do to protect this fragile treasure in its most vulnerable time would be appreciated. If an opportunity arises in which my personal input could be of value, please let me know. If I can help gather useful data, or take measurements, or replace the signs that get ripped down daily, or such-like, let me know.

We appreciate your heartfelt concerns and the time and effort you took to document them. The Board is also concerned about this specific case and the general impacts of mountain bike use. Wet conditions certainly exacerbate the impacts, and we have instituted seasonal closure of some trails to bikes and horses, such as the Whittemore Gulch Trail in Purisima, and trails in other preserves. The closure of the Purisima Creek trail would have more constraints on users and be more difficult to enforce because it is the main connection to a large number of trails within the preserve from the coast side. In addition to asking staff for their opinion on this potential seasonal closure, the Board has directed or is currently involved in the following short-term and long-range courses of action that should help address this problem: 1. We have directed staff to study ways to improve the drainage and/or trail-surface material so that it does not get so muddy, and possible placement of barriers, such as rail fences where appropriate, to prevent encroachment into the vegetation. 2. The District will continue to patrol, sign, and conduct educational outreach in cooperation with local bicycle groups and shops to encourage responsible riding. We are expanding these efforts on all fronts. - 3. As budget, staff, and cooperative arrangements allow, the District intends to study and monitor trail conditions, use, and impacts on the resources. We are in the process of , formulating specific policies and guidelines for resource management. We hope to identify new ways for field staff, volunteers, environmental and conservation organizations, and.user groups to work together towards this end. 330 Distel Circle Los Altos California 94022-1404 • Phone:415-691-1200- • FAX:415-691-0485 Board of Directors:Pete Siemens,Robert McKibbin,Teena Henshaw,Ginny Babbitt,Nonette Hanko,Betsy Crowder,Wim de Wit i Mr. Tom Clifford April 28, 1994 Page two 4.

DISCUSSION In October 1991, the District entered into an agreement to acquire the 280-acre Vidovich property as an addition to Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve. Escrow on the property closed on January 5, 1993. Soon after the acquisition, adjoining property owners on Olive Tree Lane contacted the District expressing concerns over the potential for public access into the preserve via Olive Tree Lane. The residents had been troubled by parking and entry into the Vidovich property and related undesirable activities for many years in spite of posted no parking signs and gates and fences to prevent access. Olive Tree Lane is a subdivision on a private road located off Magdalena Avenue on the northeast end of the former Vidovich property. The 13 lot subdivision is located in unincorporated Santa Clara County, although the homes have Los Altos Hills addresses. On January 30, 1993, District staff met with the Olive Tree Lane residents on-site to begin a dialogue to address the concerns about public access. While the District wanted to continue the patrol access it had used for a number of years, a right that ran with the Vidovich property acquisition, the residents wanted assurance and assistance against public access into the preserve via their street. At the January meeting, staff clarified that the District did not want to encourage public access through this area (see report R-92-28 of February 10, 1993). A February 5, 1993 follow-up letter to the neighbors from the Planner Manager was copied to the Board. At its February 10, 1993 meeting, the Board adopted the preliminary use and management plan for the Vidovich property addition to Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve (see report R-92-28). The meeting with the residents was discussed, including the staff s reassurance to the neighbors that public access was not intended and would be discouraged. At the residents' request, the District's research attorney provided an analysis of the District's rights of access over Olive Tree Lane and the street's position relative to public 330 Distel Circle • Los Altos, California 94022-1404 • Phone: 415-691-1200 • FAX: 415-691-0485 Board of Directors:Pete Siemens,Robert McKibbin,Teena Henshaw,Ginny Babbitt,Nonette Hanko,Betsy Crowder,Wim de Wit General Manager:L.Craig Britton access. This analysis indicated that the District had established patrol/maintenance access rights both through prior use and through the acquisition of the adjacent property. The analysis did not support the resident's assertion that there was no potential right of public access; however, in both the analysis and in subsequent discussions with the residents, it was recognized that public access via Olive Tree Lane is not practical or desirable from either party's standpoint. Over the past year, District staff have cooperated with Olive Tree Lane residents on two projects to resolve the access situation. The District cooperated with the residents in the installation of a new fence and gate to replace the existing deteriorated and damaged fence and gate. The District contributed funds equivalent to a standard District vehicle gate toward the cost. The new gate and fence are the property and maintenance responsibility of the residents. The District will benefit because the old gate was difficult for rangers to open and close. The District has placed signs on the new gate that indicate that this is not a public entry point and gives alternate locations. Also, the District's draft brochure for the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve does not indicate Olive Tree Lane or other neighborhood access points in order to divert the public to the formal preserve entrances. District staff also cooperated with Olive Tree Lane residents in preparing the attached agreement to formally record the District's right of patrol access, and to "avoid enlargement of public use" of Olive Tree Lane by persons accessing the preserve. Residents of Olive Tree Lane have a pedestrian access gate to which they and their guests will have keys. Although there was early discussion of allowing other local residents to "buy-in" to the access by paying a fee, residents on the street have now agreed that this is impractical and inappropriate. The attached agreement was reviewed by District legal counsel. Prepared by: Randy Anderson, Planning Manager Contact person: Same as above EASEMENT DEED THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this day of , 1994, by and between the undersigned individuals, hereinafter referred to as "OLIVE TREE OWNERS" and the MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT, hereinafter referred to as "DISTRICT." WITNESSET WHEREAS, DISTRICT is the owner of certain parcels of land including those commonly known as Santa Clara County Assessor's Parcel Numbers 336-33-012 336-34-014 351-08-001 351-08-002 which are collectively identified as "Parcel One" on the map labeled Exhibit "A" as attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof; and WHEREAS, OLIVE TREE OWNERS are the owners of those certain parcels of land commonly known as Santa Clara County Assessor's Parcel Numbers 336-35-057 336-35-084 336-35-060 336-35-061 336-35-056 336-35-062 336-35-063 336-35-090 336-35-064 336-35-089 336-35-053 336-35-052 336-35-065 which are collectively identified as "Parcel Two" on said Exhibit "A;" and WHEREAS, the Olive Tree Owners assert that the road is their private property and dispute the right of the DISTRICT to use an existing road through the parcel for maintenance, repair and patrol; WHEREAS, by this Agreement, the parties wish to facilitate the patrol by the District but do not intend to create any new burdens relating to the existence, maintenance, or repair of the road; WHEREAS, DISTRICT and OLIVE TREE OWNERS each desire to resolve their differences by setting out the scope of DISTRICT's use in writing; NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, OLIVE TREE OWNERS and DISTRICT mutually agree as follows: 1 Easement. OLIVE TREE OWNERS shall convey to DISTRICT and DISTRICT hereby accepts from OLIVE TREE OWNERS the following interest in Parcel Two: A non-exclusive easement for patrol, maintenance and repair of Parcel One for vehicles of DISTRICT officers, employees, contractors and agents. The easement shall be 20 feet in width and shall follow the approximate alignment of the existing road over Parcel Two commonly called Olive Tree Lane through said Parcel Two as delineated on Exhibit A, hereinafter called the Roadway Easement. 2. Relocation of Road. DISTRICT understands that OLIVE TREE OWNERS may desire to change the location of the Roadway Easement and agrees to such relocation, provided that the points of entry and exit remain substantially unchanged. Any such relocated Roadway Easement shall be as good or better than the existing Roadway Easement at least 20 feet wide and at least equal in condition. Any and all costs associated with such relocation, including any surveying and recording costs, shall be the responsibility of OLIVE TREE OWNERS. When OLIVE TREE OWNERS have received necessary governmental approvals for any proposed relocation of the Roadway Easement, DISTRICT agrees to effect such relocation by executing any reasonably necessary documents (the Easement Deed), in accordance with Olive Tree Owners' survey, which describe the Roadway Easement in particularity. It is further understood and agreed that the Map ("Exhibit "A") shall be an acceptable representation of the Roadway Easement to be conveyed to DISTRICT until such time as a survey shall be completed and the legal description recorded as a part of the Easement Deed as provided above. The recorded legal description will then merge with and be incorporated into this Easement Deed thus superseding and replacing the Map of the Roadway Easement being conveyed to the DISTRICT. 3. Maintenance and Construction Costs. Neither party shall be required to maintain or upgrade the Roadway Easement for the other party's use or purposes or for the use or purposes of any third party. 4. Gates. Costs of repair and maintenance of gates will remain with the party originally installing the gate, or as mutually agreed in writing. Each party may, at their election and expense, install a lock on the other party's gate. The party installing the lock shall provide the combination or key, as appropriate, to the other parties. 5. Avoidance of Enlargement by Public Use. DISTRICT agrees that the existing road is private property subject to this easement and DISTRICT will post the gate closest to the boundary between DISTRICT lands and those of OLIVE TREE OWNERS, advising that the property is private and that trespassing is prohibited. The DISTRICT will not promote or encourage use of the roadway by the public. The parties will cooperate in keeping entry and exit gates closed and locked. 6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and when executed, separately or together, shall constitute a single original instrument, effective in the same manner as if the parties had executed one and the same instrument. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers to be effective as of the date of final execution by DISTRICT in accordance with the terms hereof.

Approve the creation of a land acquisition manager job classification and eliminate the assistant general manager/land acquisition manager job classification. 2. Approve the attached job specification for land acquisition manager, and assign it a salary range of Step Number 277 to 302 with a corresponding monthly salary of $4,442 to $5,696. 3. Authorize staff to fill the full-time land acquisition manager position, contingent upon passage of Proposition 180 (Californians for Parks & Wildlife 1994) in June 1994. 4. Approve the changes in the real property representative job specification and authorize staff to fill this full-time position. 5. Authorize the general manager to designate one of five program managers as assistant general manager, with a range of three points to five points to be added to the program manager's base salary as approved by the general manager for the assistant general manager assignment. DISCUSSION Land Acquisition Manager The proposed land acquisition manager position (see attached job specification -- Attachment A) would replace the vacant assistant general manager/land acquisition manager position. The primary focus of the land acquisition manager position is to direct and implement all activities related to open space acquisition, relocation, and enterprise. The recommended salary range for this position is Step Number 277 to 302, with a corresponding monthly salary of $4,442 to $5,696 and an annual salary of$53,300 to $68,357. For internal relationship purposes, the proposed salary range is equivalent to the salary range for the planning manager and operations manager positions (see attached District pay plan schedule - Attachment B). The proposed salary range is slightly above (+2.9%) the median salary range for comparable positions in other agencies (see Attachments C and D). 330 Distel Circle Los Altos, California 94022-1404 • Phone: 415-691-1200 FAX:415-691-0485 Board of Directors:Pete Siemens,Robert McKibbin,Teena Henshaw,Cinny Babbitt,Nonette Hanko,Betsy Crowder,Wim de Wit i R-94-54 Page two The land acquisition manager position would only be filled if Proposition 180 (CALPAW '94) passes in June 1994. The land acquisition manager position will play a critical role in enabling the District to purchase crucial open space properties in a timely manner with the funds allocated through Proposition 180. However, if Proposition 180 does not pass, the filling of this position would be postponed until such time as the District's financial resources for acquisition projects improves. Until a land acquisition manager is hired, or an alternate staffing plan is proposed if Proposition 180 does not pass, the program's incumbent staff members (real property representative, research attorney, and secretary) will continue to report directly to the general manager. Real ELQpgM ftresentative The reall property representative position is responsible for overseeing the enterprise program, which contributes approximately $425,000 to the District budget each year, and assisting with land acquisition projects. Immediately upon its filling, this position will help to relieve the general manager of various acquisition responsibilities, which is absolutely necessary so the new general manager can focus his attention on his new overall District responsibilities. This position will provide crucial assistance to the land acquisition manager if Proposition 180 passes. If Proposition 180 does not pass, this position will play an important role in maintaining contact with land owners, maintaining communications with other agencies, and completing highly specialized acquisition grant projects. The full-time real property representative position is currently vacant. The current salary range for this position is Step Number 257 to 282, with a corresponding monthly salary range of$3640 to $4668 and an annual salary of$43,682 to $56,019. An acquisition consultant, working approximately twenty hours per week, performs some of the duties of the position. It is recommended that the full-time position be filled at this time, and not be contingent on the passage of Proposition 180. Attachment E shows proposed changes in the real property representative job specification. Assistant General Manager Appointment The assistant general manager responsibilities include handling the day-to-day activities of the District in the general manager's absence and acting on behalf of the general manager on various projects as assigned. One of five (assuming a land acquisition manager is hired) program managers will be appointed assistant general manager by the general manager. The assistant general manager designation will be assigned, reviewed annually, and rotated, if feasible.

DISCUSSION One of the key projects in the 1994-1995 Negotiations and Special Projects Subprogram focuses on alternative acquisition methods and calls for staff to "explore with the Board of Directors at a study session additional methods to protect open space lands for less than the total cost of fee acquisition (open space easements, acquisition of development rights, development dedication, exchange or sale of development rights, cooperation with private individuals and groups, etc.) especially in this time of extremely tight budget constraints." Geoff Ball of Geoff Ball & Associates will facilitate the workshop. Invitations to attend the workshop have been extended to representatives throughout our open space preservation community, including other open space districts, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Peninsula Open Space Trust, Trust for Public Lands, The Nature Conservancy, and Bay Area Open Space Council. A copy of the letter invitation and list of invitees is attached. Light refreshments will be served from 7:00 to 7:30 P.M. The workshop will begin at 7:30 P.M. Prepared by: Jean H.

The Board of Directors of Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has scheduled a professionally facilitated workshop on Wednesday, May 18, 1994, beginning at 7:30 P.M. at the District's offices. The purpose of this workshop is for the Board to develop, with the assistance of the public and invited experts, an exhaustive list of open space preservation methods (i.e. fee title, conservation easement, right of first refusal, etc.). As a part of the dialogue we hope to create a list the advantages and disadvantages that may be unique to the various preservation methods and develop some statements and conclusions about the role of public agencies, land trusts and other individuals and groups relative to the potential success of these various techniques. Most of these preservation methods have already been identified and many have been explored in detail through actual practice; however, our Board of Directors, and especially the new members, would like a better understanding of the process and successes achieved throughout the Bay Area. I hope you and/or selected members of your staff and board will be able to join us. A copy of the final report would be available in the weeks following the workshop. ' There will be light refreshments served beginning at 7:00 P.M., May 18, 1994 at 330 Distel Circle, Los Altos, CA 94022. Please RSVP, including the names and number of participants, to Susan Dale at (415) 691-1200. Thank you for taking the time to assist the District with this important workshop. The conclusions we reach will help to guide the District's open space acquisition program in the future.

I would like to requ,.:,t that you take this opportunity to exercise Condition `H' which was placed on the original Use Permit issued in 1981. At that time, the Town Council required the dedication of a trail easement on the Fogarty property `parallel to and in proximity to Skyline Boulevard', when such an easement would connect with developed public trails, or public trails could be improved within a reasonable amount of time following dedication of the easement. The District is currently in the process of building a segment of the Bay Area Ridge Trail on the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve which will form one of the links needed to exercise this condition. The trail currently under construction is part of the planned,400-mile Bay Area Ridge Trail. When completed, this continuous section of the Ridge Trail will extend from the southern tip of the Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve to the intersection of Langley Hill Road and Skyline Boulevard, a distance of about seven miles. Another trail construction project scheduled for this fall will extend this continuous section of the Ridge Trail another five miles south to Saratoga Gap. In addition,a three mile segment of the Ridge Trail is already dedicated on the Windy Hill Open Space Preserve. The northern trail connection on public land involves construction of a short segment of trail on the Windy Hill Open Space Preserve. The preserve abuts the Fogarty property to the north and an existing trail is located near the preserve boundary. With approximately 1,500 feet of trail construction, the connection could be made. Construction of this section of trail could occur as early as fall, 1994, if the easement across the Fogarty property is dedicated.

Passage of this bill, and repeal of 1990's voter-approved Proposition 117,would lead to serious funding cuts to public agencies throughout the state. The Habitat Conservation Fund is crucial in the continuing efforts of these agencies to preserve and protect California's wildlife habitat and fragile natural resources. In addition, this voter-mandated funding is one of the last remaining sources of funds for environmental projects. These protected resources help to make California a great place to live and work. The voters have already spoken on this issue; the Habitat Conservation Fund should continue to be used for the acquisition and protection of fragile and threatened habitat. Thank you for your efforts to see that this source of funding for wildlife habitat is maintained.

A copy of the resolution is enclosed. ' The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District is a tri-county special district and encompasses portions of Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Santa Cruz Counties. Santa Clara County is our "home" county for purposes of special district representation on LAFCO since the portion of Santa Clara County within the District boundaries is the area of greatest assessed value (Government Code Section 56332B). Assuming a majority of independent districts adopt a resolution requesting LAFCO representation, we look forward to working with your special district, as well as all the other independent special districts in the county, on the process to seat special districts on LAFCO.

I have used these trails on a regular basis for the past ten years and I've never seen them in better condition than now! District employees have done an outstanding job maintaining and improving the preserve by removing obstacles, trimming brush, and grading trails on a regular basis. MPROSD's excellent maintenance Pram ro provides another important program P benefit by enhancing my personal safety. Your staff's presence is evident by the superb condition of the preserve, and is an effective deterrent to those who think they can abuse the park or its' visitors unnoticed. I do not have to sacrifice security for solitude if I choose to run alone. I believe my positive experiences are representative of the majority of trail users, judging from the smiles and friendly greetings I exchange with passers- by. I am very grateful for the efforts MPROSD staff have put forth educating and responding to the public, making the park safe and enjoyable for all users. Will you kindly pass my thanks and appreciation on to the appropriate staff? I'm looking forward to many more years of running and riding up to St. Joseph's Hill, and the rewarding view at the top!
