Fremont Older Open Space 330 Distel Circle Los Altos, CA 94022-1404 Dear Board Members, Today I was at Hunters Point from 0920 until almost 1000 waiting for the group to show up from the parking lot at Prospect. Since I gather there was a change of plans and the meeting took place at the parking lot (according to info from another biker) I was not able to partake but would like to provide some input into the decision making process. I personally use the hills all of the time to hike, ride my horses, and my bicycle and have done so for the past 11 years. I live on the Mount Eden side but have easy access to Stevens Creek Park and the Open Space. My feelings are that all should be allowed to use all of the trails without specific designations, one way directions, or other restrictions. There are "bad apples" in all of the groups. I have seen bikers, hikers, and equestrians be rude and ride or behave in irresponsible ways that can endanger all. However, that does not mean we should close things down because of the behavior of some. If everyone behaves in a courteous manner, rides single file while passing, does not speed, maintain control of bikes and animals, gives notice of passing, asks if it is permissible to pass horses, etc. we can all continue to use and enjoy the open spaces. Perhaps, strong notice must be given to those who do not use the trails in a responsible manner. Tickets for speeders, etc. may become necessary. The word will get out that improper use of the trails will be costly. Please add this information to that you gathered in the parking lot. I am strongly in favor of open use of the open space. Sincerely yours, Mary M. Reeve EdD, RN Associate Professor San Jose State University OCT 2 f Open Space MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT November 10, 1994 DRAFT RESPONSE PREPARED BY STAFF FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION Mary M. Reeve 23555 Mt. Eden Road Saratoga, CA 95070 Dear Ms. Reeve: Thank you for your October 22, 1994 letter regarding trail use at Fremont Older Open Space Preserve. The Board of Directors considered your letter at its regular meeting on November 9, 1994. I'm sorry you missed the trail use workshop on October 22. The workshop started with a brief staff presentation at the Prospect Road parking lot followed by group discussion. Then, the group headed up on the preserve to the Toyon Trail to look at specific trail use problems that came up during the discussion. Approximately 25 people attended the workshop. We received many positive comments and good suggestions, all of which will be considered in developing the trail use designations for the preserve. Most of the workshop participants share your views about keeping the trails open to multi-use. District staff will be looking at specific improvements that can be made to the preserve trail system to make them more suitable for multi-use. In addition, District rangers will continue to enforce the 15 mph speed limit on all preserve trails. The proposed trail use designations for Fremont Older Open Space Preserve are tentatively scheduled for review by the Board in December. If you are interested in attending, please contact the District office at (415) 691-1200 the beginning of December to find out the specific date of the meeting. Sincerely, Ginny Babbitt President, Board of Directors cc: Board of Directors 330 Distel Circle Los Altos, California 94022-1404 Phone: 415-691-1200 FAX: 415-691-0485 Board of Directors:Pete Siemens,Robert M(Ki bb in, reena I I enshaw,Ginny Babbitt,Not iette Ila nko,Betsy Crowder,Wim de Wit R—ONSE ACTION PROPOSED BY STAFF President Acknowledge/Respond Director Acknowledge/Respond Staff Acknowledge/Respond B o b Gorman Draft Response Attached 8 7 1 Green Ave n u e Staff to be Directed to Prepare Draft Sa n Bruno , CA 94066 Response for Board Conslderat ion per Board DSrective(s) No Response Necessary Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District 330 Distel Circle Los Altos , CA 94022- 1404 Gentlemen , I was hiking this past monday , October 24 , at Purisima Creek Redwoods . Starting at Whittemore Gulch Trail head , I had made a wide loop through the park , including the Grabtown/ Bald Knob Trails , and was returning back up Whittemore Gulch Trail . I was startled out of a reflective mood by two young men on trail bikes careening down the steep trail at breakneck speed ( far beyond the 15 MPH limit ) . I had to literally leap off of the trail in order to avoid them . There was no attempt to slow down and no attempt to apologize . Continuing on up the trail I kept noticing many blind curves in the trail with steep drop-offs on the side . What if , I thought , they had barreled around a curve and the leap to avoid them had landed me down a steep ravine with a broken back ? It was a very real and most unsettling prospect . Trail bikes on this trail , I thought , is a disaster just waiting to happen . My question to you is this : does the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District have a good insurance policy to cover the inevitable tragic accident ? If not , the ensuing litigation could easily bankrupt your fine organization : a frightening prospect ! Continuing up the trail , I kept noticing deep ruts in the trail gouged out by a parade of trail bikes . The silt stirred up by all the traffic was , through many stretches of the trail , a half- inch deep . In all the years I ' ve been hiking Purisima , I ' ve never seen anything like it . One good rain storm will create an avalanche of mud down this trail . And those ruts will be carved so much deeper by rains that extensive trail rebuilding will become necessary . Do you have a contract with the local trail bike association to have them provide free labor to repair all the damage ? � Please understand that I think that there is a place for trail bikes in open space preserves such as Purisima : on wide fire-lane type roads . There is not nearly the danger of creating deep ruts and hikers are not obliged to leap into Poison Oak or down ravines to avoid the inevitable speeding riders . 1 plead with you to permanently debar trail bikes from steep and narrow hiking trails such as Wittemore Gulch Trail . i l i I look forward to your reply on this matter in the very near future . Yours truly , Bob Gorman I I i I i I i i I i I i I O C7 ' � aC'► i i Open Space MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT November 10, 1994 I DRAFT RESPONSE PREPARED BY STAFF Bob Gorman FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION 871-Green Ave. i San Bruno, CA 94066 i i i i Dear Mr. Gordon: i i Thank you for your recent letter regarding mountain bikes on open space preserves. At our Regular Meeting last night, the District's Board of Directors considered your letter; we-are sorry you had a bad experience during your October 24 visit to Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve. . II The District wants to accommodate a variety of trail users, including hikers, runners, bicyclists, and equestrians. We are concerned about the safety of all preserve visitors, and are trying to reduce conflicts on District trails. Volunteers and staff are distributing a trail etiquette brochure, we have established a 15 MPH speed limit for bicycles, rangers are patrolling on bicycles, and we have an active volunteer trail patrol program. Our rangers have spent hundreds of hours using radar to educate trail users throughout the District. We believe that multiple-use trails can work. As trail users become better informed, we expect to see a reduction in trail conflicts in the future. The Board anticipates reviewing the trail use element of the Use and Management Plan for Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve early next year. At that time, detailed study of trail conditions, use and impacts will take place, and more comprehensive solutions to these conflicts can be formulated. Staff added your name to the list of persons to be notified about workshops on the plan for this preserve and to the District's trail use mailing list, to notify you of future meetings regarding trail use issues. We welcome and encourage your participation.

M507EN COMMUNICATIONS There were no written communications. VIII. BOARD BUSINESS A. Authorization for Staff to Issue Request for Proposals and Initiate Process to Provide Public Information and Review the Proposals for the Buildings and Facilities at the Former Almaden Air Force Station . Mt. Umunhum. Sierra Azul Open S2= Preserve (=q R- 94-10b) R. Anderson noted that the Board had authorized staff to prepare to solicit offers for the lease, use and/or improvement of the former Almaden Air force Station buildings and infrastructure at its Board meeting of May 25, 1994. He said an assessment of buildings on Mt. Thayer has since been completed and was attached to the Board report (R-94-106) and that pertinent portions of the draft Request for Proposals (RFP) had also been included with the report. He continued that he had prepared a scope of work that the District would have to do to complete the process of planning for the ultimate disposition of the property and that it would be the most complex use and management plan the District has ever done. He said the criteria to be used to evaluate proposals include: 1) minimal impacts on the site and surrounding region, especially environmental impact on wildlife, native vegetation, hydrology, traffic, visual impact of buildings, and through access by adjacent property owners; 2) supports or is compatible with low-intensity public recreation along with public benefit; 3) provide revenue and/or minimize cost to District; and 4) qualifications of the proposer. He said that the Department of Corrections will be notified, along with others who have expressed an interest. R. Anderson proposed mailing the RFPs and press releases about November 9 followed by a public hearing in Los Gatos to review the request for proposals. C. Britton added that the meeting would include showing slides of the buildings, Board comments, and questions from the audience and suggested November 30 or December 7 as possible meeting dates. Following discussion, G. Babbitt announced that December 7 would be the best date for the Board, and that the location would be announced at a later date. Upon further discussion, 7:30 was announced as the starting time for the meeting. R. McKibbin suggested voting on the proposal before continuing the process; he said he would vote against the proposal because he believes the buildings should be demolished. R. Anderson noted that a potential communication lease might help to fund a demolition project. R. McKibbin responded that preserves should remain preserves, and having some other use on the site is not compatible with preserve use. Meeting 94-28 Page 3 Motion: N. Hanko moved that the Board authorize staff to issue the request for proposals and to initiate the process to provide public information and review proposals for the buildings and facilities at the former Almaden Air Force Station located at Mt. Umunhum. P. Siemens seconded the motion. The motion passed on the following vote: Ayes: P. Siemens, G. Babbitt, N. Hanko, B. Crowder, and W. de Wit. Noes: R. McKibbin and T. Henshaw. R. Anderson noted that a site visit will take place approximately one week after the workshop for the purpose of allowing potential proposers to look at the site. He said this would be a noticed Use and Management Committee meeting and other Board members could attend, and suggested the meeting be on Thursday, December 15 at 10:00 A.M. He distributed copies of the planning process that was prepared to respond to the grand jury recommendations and to implement goals and policies for planning and management. Discussion centered on the cost of razing the buildings. C. Britton noted that the RFP process may help to determine interest by others that may help with the cost of demolition. He said the Corp of Engineers has not completed the toxic clean-up. P. Siemens suggested that after the costs are known, the District could apply for a clean-up grant from the federal government. B. Authorization to Work with Town of Woodside to Establish Up to Six Legal Lots for the Surplus Pro M at Teague Hill Cl= Space Preserve and for General Manager to Negotiate a Contract with Enshallah Real Estate and Development Consultants (Rrt R- 94-105) R. Anderson noted that entitlements are the chief obstacles to selling the property. Staff research indicates a lot line adjustment mechanism based on lots of record that existed each time the property was legally subdivided may be the best approach. He noted that D. Blackman has identified a number of parcels that could be reconfigured, adding that the research has been completed and indicates that the District should actively pursue the lot line adjustment to create the legal parcels necessary to market the surplus property and to address the slope density constraint. He said that staff proposes retaining Geraldine Steinburg of Enshallah Real Estate and Development Consultants to assist in its application and negotiations with the Town of Woodside. N. Hanko asked if there is anything in the Towns ordinances that guarantees the District could develop legal lots. S. Schectman said that state law allows the District to do lot line i n d explained that the Subdivision Ma Act allowed the District to create the adjustments and P P 35 acre parcels. She said that, with respect to Woodside's ordinances, usually lot line adjustments must comply with the city or county zoning ordinance regarding minimum lot size and the slope density formula. She said some slope density formulas have room for interpretation and flexibility and the District should investigate whether this is an available approach. P. Siemens asked for clarification on the procedure, wanting to clarify if the lot split will be the end of the process and whether the District would have to go through the entire map act process. R. Anderson responded that, if the process becomes more than a lot line adjustment, staff would report back to the Board on further procedures. P. Siemens said he would like the end result to be the District having buildable individual lots to sell. C. Meeting 94-28 Page 4 Britton noted that what the District would like to have agreement that each lot has a density of three and sell the parcels on that basis. R. McKibbin asked for clarification on the financial terms with Enshallah, especially if the parcels are sold on an option basis rather than outright, and whether the 3% commission is based on when the option is purchased or when the option is exercised. C. Britton responded that it would normally be when the sale is consummated. He continued that, although the Board may grant him the authority to negotiate the contract, staff would still present the contract to the Board since budget funds would have to be transferred. He said Enshalla's hourly costs will be charged against the 3%. R. Anderson noted that staff will not have a lot of time from Enshallah's initially and could work on a not-to-exceed basis. Motion: T. Henshaw moved that the Board authorize the general manager and legal counsel to work with the Town of Woodside to use a lot line adjustment mechanism to establish up to six legal lots accommodating the necessary slope density to qualify as buildable sites, while preserving the maximum possible amount of public open space. P. Siemens seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. Motion: T. Henshaw moved that the Board authorize the general manager to negotiate a contract with Enshallah Real Estate and Development Consultants to assist and represent the District in its dealings with the Town of Woodside and in marketing the property N. Hanko seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. C. Cancellation of November 23 Regular Meeting; (RR=rt R-94-109) C. Britton reported that staff does not see the need for a second meeting in November at this time. Motion: B. Crowder moved that the Board cancel its November 23 Regular Meeting. g g R. McKibbin seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0. IX. INFORMATIONAL REPORTS C. Britton reported that: 1) the management team had met with four staff members of the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department and plans to meet with them again after their reorganization early in 1995 to discuss working together on common interests; 2) he met with Patrick Sanchez of San Mateo County Parks and Recreation to discuss Bay Trail connections and management; 3) a San Jose Mercury columnist had erroneously reported that the District was cooperating with other public agencies to acquire the Mountain Winery g �in Saratoga; he added that to the de the District could help f -, degree p facilitate acquisition by a non-profit, the District would be interested; 4) J.

Anderson reported that the Los Trancos Fault Trail had been renovated. He noted that the . 1987 Use and Management Plan had specified that the Fault Trail be closed to bicycles but the restriction had never been implemented on a portion of the trail until the oversight was discovered during the renovation.

I DISCUSSION i At your August 24, 1988 meeting, you asked to be informed ahead of any action that may be I taken regarding the closing of any trail to bicycle or equestrian use. Attached is the November 1, 1994 memorandum and chart from John Escobar to me, outlining this year's trail closure recommendations. These recommendations have been forwarded to the Trail Center for review. Staff will report to you any comments received from the Trail Center. Since the only added closures this year are newly constructed or repaired trails, staff does not anticipate significant comment. If we receive any comments following your meeting, staff will provide informational reports at subsequent meetings. I intend to approve staff recommendations on trail closures, contingent upon your comments and any public input at your November 9 meeting.

Closures are designated as seasonal and interim seasonal closures, and are based on concerns for trail safety and resource damage during extremely wet conditions. In the past, interim closures have identified trails closed because of trail safety concerns pending the adoption of the trail use guidelines. Newly constructed trails with unconsolidated trail treads are placed in the seasonal closure category for the first winter season. Although the Board has adopted Trail Use Policies and Guidelines, the permanent status of trails now in the interim closure category will not be determined until trail use guidelines are actually applied to specific trails through the use and management planning process. As in past years, I recommend that these trails remain closed to bicycle and equestrian use. Past closures and new closure recommendations are outlined on the attached chart. An asterisk identifies the new closures. Page 2 Nov'enlhcr I. 1994 PROPOSED SEASONAL AND INTERIM TRAIL CLOSURES TO BICYCLISTS AND EQUESTRIANS (See definition of "Seasonal" and "Interim" below.)

BACKGROUND On May 18, 1994 you conducted a Special Board Meeting Workshop on Open Space Preservation Methods (see report R-94-60). The Board, staff, and public participated in discussing the pros and cons and rating the various preservation methods on a scale of 1 to 100. The summary of the workshop discussion on the options method (excluding right of first , 4 refusals) is as follows: OPTIONS Includes option to purchase terms specified in option contract and optionee has option to buy or not buy). lease with purchase option contract for lease with an option for I purchase which contains essential purchase terms) l Pros: Buys time; fixes price when can't purchase immediately; revokable; keeps agencies' funds more fluid; may negate effects of inflation; no management expense; encourages public interest in public acquisition; good tool if trying to assembly contiguous properties; with lease may gain control of resources during option period; owner may like security of having a willing buyer; facilitates seller's tax planning; no liability. i i Cons: May not be able to purchase and therefore lose option funds; may not have control; complexity issues; may create false expectation in public; subject to market forces both pro and con; no public access or limited public access; no direct public benefit; hard to renegotiate; The group rated options to purchase and lease with purchase options approaches to land preservation: 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 I I R-94-116 Page 2 I Relative Cost (in comparison with other methods) High - 0 Medium - 12 Low - 96 Stewardship High - 0 Medium - 2 Low - 98 Length of Time Permanent - 0 Middle - 0 Temporary - 100 Sales/Negotiation Difficulty Complex - 18 Middle - 73 Easy - 18 Use in Q n- Space Land Preservation Often - 21 Sometimes - 70 Seldom - 7 Public Acceptance High - 16 Medium - 67 Low - 16 E=uencv of Use by Others Public Often - 24 Sometimes - 52 Seldom - 22 Private Often - 32 Sometimes - 64 Seldom - 2 MROSD (should use) Often - 24 Sometimes - 71 Seldom - 16 In summary, an option basically buys time at a relatively low cost, but is not a permanent preservation method. At your meeting of July 27, 1994 (see report R-94-83) you adopted a rating system for prioritization of land acquisition opportunities utilizing twelve (12) properties as a basis (see attached chart entitled Acquisition Priorities Based on Functions and Other Factors of Open Space). This chart includes the ten (10) properties currently under option. The failure of Proposition 180 on the June ballot, which would have provided $36 million in acquisition funds to the District and the District's limited resources made it necessary to examine both the current and long-term acquisition program in terms of a systematic priority system. On September 28, 1994 you authorized proceeding with the issuance of a new note issue for acquisition of open space land (see report R-94-97). These notes will yield approximately $5.4 in additional acquisition funds. Based upon the cash flow analysis included in the report, the District will have available a limited amount of acquisition funds for the foreseeable future. It is therefore imperative that the District carefully analyze purchase opportunities, as the District will not be able to acquire all of the land n to complete the greenbelt under existing �l necessary P g g funding constraints. I DISCUSSION Qption Defined An n r is a contract in which n person option or) sell option to purchase one pe so (the optio o ) agrees to se land or rights in land to another person (the optionee) on terms specified in the option contract. The optionee has the choice (option) to buy or not buy. The optionee pays the optionor for the right to make that choice, but there is otherwise no penalty for deciding not to buy. In contrast, if parties enter into a contract to purchase, the seller can require the buyer to pay the price and take title to the land. i i R-94-116 Page 3 tion P yment The price paid for an option is usually based upon the loss of investment opportunity by the optionor, because ordinarily, the optionor does not continue to actually market the property and probably cannot actually sell the property during the option period. Other considerations on the optionor's part are any anticipated increases or decreases in real estate market during the option period; the delay in being able to sell a property that in turn delays receiving investment funds; and the loss of interest income from the delay in receiving the proceeds of the sale. The price paid for an option is often more related to interest rates than land values. Current Options Analyzed Since the District cannot afford to acquire all of the 40 or so desirable properties currently available for purchase, the new priority system has helped staff to analyze the current options accordingly. For purposes of the recommendations to you, each option parcel is discussed individually, with a separate recommendation. In addition, the recommendations are summarized on the attached Current Options chart. Ho g - This "option" to acquire the last 884 acres of the EI Corte de Madera Open Space Preserve does not require a final decision until March 1, 1995. It is assured that staff will be recommending that the District complete this acquisition; however, the final decision does not have to be made at this time. Recommendation - Defer final decision prior to March 1, 1995. Wool - While this 1300 f acre property would be a desirable addition to the La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve, the land lies outside the District boundaries. Also, many changes have occurred relative to the availability of this property since the owners first indicated an interest in selling to the District. This property may no longer be available for sale. However, the site continues to be a desirable location for a San Francisco garter snake release program and within the constraints of limited staff time and funding, we would continue to try to find non-District funding sources for this property. Recommendation - On a limited basis, continue to seek non-District funding sources and monitor the availability of the property. Acronico - This is the spectacular "Devils Canyon" property that would make an ideal addition to Long Ridge Open Space Preserve. Since the District originally secured this option, a grant in the amount of$325,000 has been awarded from the Habitat Conservation Fund. We are still hoping for an additional grant from the "Access Fund" climbing group. Recommendation -Proceed with acquisition as a part of the current grant project. Semnervirens Fund - This 116 acres at Saratoga Gap would make an exciting addition to the Long Ridge Open Space Preserve and help complete the connection between the Ridge Trail and the Skyline to the Sea Trail. This option was originally negotiated so that the 50% bargain purchase price would facilitate a future grant that would enable Sempervirens Fund to contribute to the DEKA Associates property already acquired by the District. In order to continue with i R-94-116 Page 4 opportunities for future grants, this option should be extended, at no cost if possible. Recommendation - Obtain a no cost option extension. General Convention - This is a desirable acquisition in the Los Gatos Creek watershed area of the Sierra AM Open Space Preserve. However, because of the low cost of the property, it may be possible to find another interested and compatible purchaser, such as Santa Clara Valley Water District or the San Jose Water Company. If this cannot be accomplished, it could be that POST would acquire the property to hold for future sale to the District either through a t � P Perty g � or exchange transaction. Recommendation - Work with other organizations to acquire this property on a compatible basis. Johnson, et al. - This 329-acre property is located between Mt. Umunhum Road and Loma Prieta Road, and would provide a critical trail connection between existing District lands in the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve. Although no grants are available, the trails system advantages of this property make it a very desirable purchase. Recommendation - Exercise option with District funds. North - This 100-acre property surrounding Reynolds Road is the gateway to the Hicks Road portion of the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve which makes this property very desirable. However, the fact that Reynolds Road is a public road makes this property slightly less necessary to the District's purpose. If it could be acquired on a longer-term basis, or in some other creative manner, it would be a more desirable acquisition. Recommendation - Attempt to extend the option, explore the possibilities of partial interest acquisition or renegotiate terms if possible. POST (Liles) - This 63-acre property near Soda Springs Road is included in a successful Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program Grant as administered by Caltrans. The property will help to provide for a necessary trail connection from the Limekiln-Kennedy Road area of Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve to the Cathedral Oaks area of the preserve. It is anticipated that one-half the cost of this acquisition will be reimbursed through grant funds. Since this option is simply oral in nature, staff will proceed with orderly acquisition of this property after the grant contracts are executed. Recommendation - Acquire as part of an approved grant project. Lee - This 20-acre property on Weaver Road is surrounded by District land in the Cathedral Oaks area of the Sierra AM Open Space Preserve and as such would be highly desirable. However, because of the high unit cost and lack of grant funds, the property scores lower on a priority basis. It would be helpful if this option could be extended or the property acquired on a long-term basis. Recommendation - Extend the option or renegotiate the terms if possible. R-94-116 Page 5 Gmy/Coelho - This option represents a 7.55% interest in the Big Dipper Ranch in which the District already holds an approximate 47% interest. The entire ranch would make a highly desirable addition to the Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve and eventually provide a connecting trail system to Portola State Park along the historic "Page Mill Road" alignment. Although there are no grants available for this acquisition, the relatively low cost to gain a majority interest in this property is an unequalled opportunity. Recommendation-Exercise the option to acquire this additional property interest. Summary and Conclusion As noted in the attached Current Option chart, the recommended action could potentially cost the District a total of$30,000 in "lost" option payments. This would only be true if staff were unsuccessful in extending or renegotiating the North and Lee options. An additional $10,000 would be lost if the District is unsuccessful in finding a compatible buyer for the General Convention property. As mentioned earlier in this report, option fees are based primarily on interest rates. Since these three properties represent a total purchase cost of $901,000 to the District, the option payments represent a 4.4% interest payment on these funds. This is approximately the interest rate the District received on its invested funds over the last year. District funds are invested on a highly liquid and conservative bases to insure safety and immediate availability of District funds. Therefore, the option payments that might be lost represent a fair cost for the option rights acquired by the District for these transactions. If these three properties had sold to the District, 4.4% is the minimum investment rate these land owners could anticipate in the market. Even so, it is hoped that these final three properties can be acquired in some way, thus providing the District opportunities to acquire these properties. Prepared by: L.

Open Space MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT R-94-110 Meeting 94-29 November 9, 1994 AGENDA ITEM Amendment to Land Exchange Agreement to Effect Lot Adjustment at Kennedy Road Entrance to Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATIOW �._ 1. Adopt the accompanying resolution authorizing an amendment to an agreement to exchange interests in real property with Mr. T. W. Ireland and accepting an open space easement over a portion of Mr. Ireland's property. 2. Reaffirm your adoption of the use and management recommendations contained in Report 94-11, including naming the property as an addition to Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve and indicating your intention to dedicate the property being received as public open space. � I DISCUSSION At your February 9, 1994 meeting, you adopted Resolution 94-10 approving an exchange of real property interests with T. W. Ireland (see report R-94-11). Mr. Ireland owns and occupies a residential property at 15294 Kennedy Road, Los Gatos. His property is located adjacent to and immediately easterly of the Kennedy Road entrance to Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve. At the time of the initial exchange, Mr. Ireland thought that his property was of sufficient size to exchange an area twice as large as that which he was receiving, as required by the District. When the lot line adjustment was processed by the Town of Los Gatos, it was discovered that Mr. Ireland's property was not large enough to accommodate the exchange as originally structured, because his remaining land would be below the minimum lot size required under the zoning regulations. The original agreement has been renegotiated, and the areas to be exchanged are now of equal size. However, the District will now receive an open space easement over a portion of Mr. Ireland's property equal in size to the exchange area. The portion of Mr. Ireland's property covered by the easement abuts the District's preserve and will be left in its natural state in perpetuity. The original agreement remains unchanged in all other respects: Mr. Ireland's ability to develop the recreational portion of his property remains limited to agreed upon uses, and he will support a future parking lot development for the Kennedy Road access to the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve. I I 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 R-94-110 Page 2 The use and management recommendations adopted at your February 9, 1994 meeting remain unchanged. They are: The area received by the District should remain as is, forming a natural boundary between the preserve and Mr. Ireland's homesite. Name: The property should be named as an addition to Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve - Kennedy Limekiln Area. Dedication: Indicate your intention to dedicate the property as public open space. Prepared by: L. Craig Britton, General Manager Merwin A. Mace, Real Property Consultant Contact person: Same as above i RESOLUTION NO. I RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING ACCEPTANCE OF AN AMENDED AGREEMENT TO EXCHANGE INTERESTS IN REAL PROPERTY, AUTHORIZING OFFICER TO EXECUTE A DEED FOR THE REAL PROPERTY BEING RELEASED, AUTHORIZING OFFICER TO EXECUTE CERTIFICATE OF ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT TO DISTRICT (DEED AND CONSERVATION AND OPEN SPACE EASEMENT) AND AUTHORIZING GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO THE TRANSACTION (SIERRA AZUL OPEN SPACE PRESERVE - LANDS OF IRELAND) The Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District does resolve as follows: Section One. The Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District does hereby accept the offer contained in that certain Amendment to the Agreement to Exchange Interests in Real Property between T. W. Ireland, Trustee, and the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District dated October 31, 1994, a copy of which is attached hereto and by reference made a part hereof, and authorizes the President or appropriate officers to execute the Agreement on behalf of the District. Section Two. The President of the Board or other appropriate officer is authorized to execute the Deed granting the real property interests being conveyed by the District. Section Three. The President of the Board or other appropriate officer is authorized to execute a Certificate of Acceptance to the deed conveying fee title to the property being acquired by the District. Section Four. The President of the Board or other appropriate officer is authorized to execute a Certificate of Acceptance to the Conservation and Open Space Easement being granted to the District. Section Five. The General Manager of the District shall cause to be given appropriate notice of acceptance. The General Manager is further authorized to execute any and all other documents necessary or appropriate to the transaction. Resolution No. Page 2 Section Six. The Board of Directors finds that the granting and releasing of the real property interests is in accordance with the Basic Policy of the District and is not detrimental to the open space character of Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve. Section Seven. The Board of Directors finds and determines that, pursuant to Section 5540.5 of the Public Resources Code of the State of California, this exchange of rights and obligations is of equal value and is necessary for park or open space, or both purposes. AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT TO EXCHANGE INTERESTS IN REAL PROPERTY THIS AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT TO EXCHANGE INTERESTS IN REAL PROPERTY is made and entered into by and between T. W. IRELAND, as Trustee under an Agreement of Revocable Trust dated September 8, 1992 , (hereinafter referred to as "Ireland") , and MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT, a Public District, (hereinafter referred to as "District") . RECITALS A. Ireland owns a parcel of land at 15294 Kennedy Road, located in the Town of Los Gatos, County of Santa Clara, State of California, identified as Assessor Parcels 537-15-016 and 537-15-017 (as shown on the map attached hereto as Exhibit "A") . B. District owns an adjacent parcel of land, also located in theTown of Los Gatos, County of Santa Clara, State of California, and identified as Assessor Parcel 537-15-018 (as shown on the map attached hereto as Exhibit "A") . C. On February 9, 1994 , Ireland and District entered into an Agreement to Exchange Interests in Real Property ("Agreement") , a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Review by the Town of Los Gatos of the real property exchange created by said Agreement revealed that the Agreement could not be completed as executed, because in doing so the lands of Ireland would be reduced below the minimum lot size under the town zoning regulations. E. Ireland and District wish to amend the Agreement in such a way as to accommodate the requirements of the Town of Los Gatos, while preserving the original intent of both parties. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD AS FOLLOWS: 1. Exchange of Fee Title.

DISCUSSION Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program The Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program is sponsored by the California Transportation Commission. It provides grants to local, state, and federal agencies and nonprofits for projects related to the environmental impact of public transportation facilities included in an adopted state or local transportation program. Projects must provide additional mitigation to that required by the related project. Applications for the 1995-1996 fiscal year are due on November 21, 1994. In April, the Resources Agency will send the list of recommended projects to the Transportation Commission. In July, the Commission will approve projects to be funded. Grants are normally limited to a maximum of$500,000 each. The program emphasizes projects that are ready-to-go and can be completed in a two-year period. { Sierra Azul Resource Lands Project Description The full project involves acquisition of four parcels totalling 209 acres of land east of Lexington Reservoir County Park. The property would become an addition to Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve. Two trailhead staging areas would be developed; one in Limekiln Canyon and one in Soda Springs Canyon. The project also includes construction of associated pedestrian and bicycle trails and a ranger residence. The trails will fill a major gap by connecting the county park with the preserve. Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve has a major trail systems offering hiking, bicycling, and equestrian opportunities. The components and benefits of the project were fully discussed in previous grant applications (see reports R-93-36 and R-93-37). 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 j i i i R-94-112 Page 2 Previous Grant Apvlications for This Project The District previously submitted the Sierra Azul Project to the Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program in November 1992, based on the project's relationship to the proposed Lexington Interchange Project. The District applied for $500,000 out of a total budget of$1.2 million. However, this application was not funded. Staff resubmitted the project to the next grant cycle (see report R-93-117 . The application was for $500,000, with the District contributing $784,940 in matching funds and in-kind services. This application was partially successful. The District received a $340,000 matching grant, which covered two of the four proposed acquisitions and one of the two proposed staging areas. It includes acquisition of the 69-acre Hogan property in Limekiln Canyon, and the 63-acre Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) property in Soda Springs Canyon, and development of a small staging area, trail, and ranger residence in Limekiln Canyon, as well as associated maps, brochure, and signs. Since the project is not yet fully funded, the District recently applied to the Habitat Conservation Fund for a matching grant of $212,000 to cover the two remaining acquisitions, the 32-acre Kirschbaum parcel and the 45-acre Zelhart parcel, both adjacent to Soda Springs Creek. (see report R-94-95.) If the project is funded, the District would be responsible for paying the $212,000 matching portion, which must come from a non-State source. This application is for the acquisitions only, and does not include any development of trails or staging areas. Reapplication This reapplication to the Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program for $207,400 includes acquisition of the Zelhart and Kirschbaum parcels applied for in the Habitat Conservation Fund proposal, as well as development of a staging area on the POST property and associated connecting trails. If this reapplication is successful, the money could be used to help pay the District portion of the match for the Habitat Conservation Grant. Prepared by: A.

Open Space 1 R-94-115 MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT Meeting 94-29 November 9, 1994 AGENDA ITEM Amendment to the Use and Management Plan for El C de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATIONS -� L _ �--I Tentatively adopt t the amendment to the Use and Management Plan for El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve to include the demonstration trail realignment project as outlined in Exhibit 2. Upon completion of the demonstration trail project, the new trail realignment will be incorporated into the existing trail plan as a multi-use trail. DISCUSSION Use of the El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve has increased dramatically in the past several years. It is now commonplace on weekends for all roadside pullouts adjacent to the ` preserve's entrances to be filled to capacity with preserve visitors' vehicles. In addition, a majority of the parking spaces available at the Skeggs Point Rest Area are occupied by preserve visitors. Preserve use is predominantly from mountain bicyclists who are attracted to the preserve for its "technical" trails. These technical trails are unauthorized trails with grades far exceeding District standards. Most of the unauthorized trails are remainders of a motorcycle club trail system created under an agreement with the former owner prior to the District's purchase of the property. Other unauthorized trails are a result of shortcutting or visitors reopening old logging skid roads. i The existing trail plan for the preserve identifies only the wide patrol roads or suitable old logging roads that predate the District's purchase of the property. The unauthorized trails were gg g P P P Perh' not incorporated into the original trail plan because of their substandard characteristics, and in some cases, severe erosion potential. The designated trail plan for the preserve includes 17 miles of trail. There are 21 miles of unauthorized trails. In late 1993, staff began to post notices at the trailheads, directing visitors to remain on the designated trails. Staff also handed out flyers in the parking areas. An on-site public workshop occurred in February, 1994 to explain the planning process for creating a trail plan for the preserve. Those in attendance were also informed that some of the unauthorized trails would be closed immediately. Those trails identified for immediate closure were either considered potentially hazardous or had severe erosion potential. 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 R-94-115 Page 2 The workshop, attended by approximately 55 people, also gave attendees an opportunity to provide public input. Public comments focused primarily on allowing bicycle use to continue on the preserve. According to the bicyclists present at the workshop, the steep, narrow trails provide an experience unavailable anywhere else in the Bay Area. Numerous bicyclists voiced their concern over closing or altering the technical experience this preserve provides, and it was noted that this preserve is attracting bicyclists from the entire Bay Area region. Thefirst to in formulating a trail plan involves an inventory of all trails on the reserve and step g P rY P an identification of their characteristics including grade, side slope, width, and cross slope. Shortly after the workshop, staff began inventorying the preserve's trail system. The inventory is now approximately 90% complete. On October 19, 1994, a meeting of the Use and Management Committee (Directors Crowder, Hanko and de Wit) was held focusing on trail use at El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve. The meeting was attended by approximately 30 people. Staff presentations centered on the planning process, the creation of a citizen task force to assist staff in formulating a trail plan, and a demonstration trail realignment project. The idea of creating a task force, representing various points of view, including bicyclists, neighbors, hikers, and equestrians, was well received by the Use and Management Committee and the public. Staff has spoken to a number of people interested in serving on the task force. Someone with considerable trail construction experience has agreed to be on the task force, as has Director Crowder, the chair of the Use and Management Committee. Another public workshop will be held on November 5, 1994 to examine the demonstration trail realignment project (see Exhibits 1 and 2). Staff would like to move forward with this project before the trail plan is complete for several reasons: 1) It will serve as a field example for the Use and Management Committee and task force to examine together, by providing foundation for testing the trail design and construction standards necessary to formulate a trail plan. 2) If successful, it will serve as a model for other areas of the preserve that staff and the task force will need to consider. 3) It will create an opportunity for volunteer involvement during construction and/or realignment of the trail segments, as a demonstration of how much volunteer involvement can be expected in implementing the trail plan. The demonstration trail project involves the closure of several sections of the unauthorized trail system and realignment of other sections. Upon completion of this demonstration project, the remaining and realigned portions of trail will be incorporated into the existing trail plan for the P reserve and desig nated as a multi-use trail. Exhibit 3 shows the trail profile as it currently R-94-115 Page 3 exists, as well as the realigned trail alignment after completion of the demonstration trail project. The resolution of the trail plan for the preserve is anticipated to involve construction of new connecting trails between existing sections that meet standards, while eliminating trails that are unsafe or causing resource damage. The proposed demonstration trail is intended to test this theory, while the task force is intended to allow people from different points of view to work together in studying and resolving the issue.

DISCUSSION At your July 17, 1991 meeting, a number of alternative type faces and styles were presented to the Board for consideration as part of a standardized preserve entrance sign (see report R-91- 94). The Board agreed on a standardized style and a consistent typeface. The Board's Legislative, Finance, and Public Affairs Committee discussed the issue of District name visibility on preserve signage at its meeting of June 9, 1994. The committee approved the staff recommendation that for any upcoming preserve entrance signs, the District name should be significantly increased in type size and the preserve name italicized. Due to its relative lack of visibility, the entrance sign to Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve was chosen as the first to be replaced (with two signs, one for each direction of travel on Route 35). Board approval of the modification to the type style is sought prior to contracting for new signs to be manufactured. i A mock-up of a sign illustrating the proposed change is attached.

We believe the draft revised General Plan and DEIR provide a sound framework for guiding Santa Clara County into the next century. County staff and the General Plan Review Advisory Committee should be applauded for their dedicated effort in bringing the General Plan up to date. In general, we are pleased to find that the revised General Plan mirrors the existing plan in providing policy that will ensure the preservation of hillsides areas. More specifically, we would like to strongly support the analysis and mitigation measures that relate to urban growth boundaries. Coordination of city and County land use planning policies and joint agreements for areas along the urban fringe will greatly assist in shaping and softening the urban edge and reduce environmental impacts on our remaining open space resources. Our concerns with the revised General Plan as reflected in the DEIR focus on meeting the growing demand for parks and open space and regulating inappropriate land uses in the hillside areas. In the Public Services chapter of the DEIR, we feel the cumulative impact of future development and population growth on park and open space resources is not fully addressed. The plan describes environmental impacts that may result from a projected increase of 8,207 people in the unincorporated areas but does not consider this in relation to the environmental impacts that will come from the tremendous growth anticipated in the incorporated areas of the county. Mitigation Measure 2, described on page 5N-26, may reduce the impacts resulting from growth in the unincorporated area but not the overall cumulative impact from regional growth, which is estimated at more that 100,000 people in the next 10 years. The overriding question is how to meet the growing demand for park and open space resources in the next fifteen years. We would like to see policy statements strengthened to recognize that both acquisition and development of parks and open space are needed to mitigate the impacts of growth. The summary statement in the introduction of the Parks and Recreation chapter clearly presents the challenge in meeting a growing public demand for parks and open space with limited funding and need to protect natural resources from overuse. A balance between acquisition and development is necessary if we are to meet the challenge. The environmental impacts resulting from policies and implementation measures that emphasize development of park resources may lead to loss of natural areas and overuse of existing facilities. Policies that attempt to more aggressively implement Open 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, Vim de Wit Page 2 Space Preservation 2020 Task Force priorities should be included. The economic climate is unpredictable and recovery may open up new opportunities for land acquisition. The revised General Plan should contain policies that are flexible enough to respond to a changing economic climate and best meet the growing park and open space needs of the county. A potential significant impact that has not been addressed in the DEIR relates to dedications of open space through residential and non-residential development. Policy R-LU 20 on page B-71 of the draft plan requires such dedications under paragraph 2. Open space dedications associated with clustering can significantly impact public agencies that may be expected to manage these lands. It may be necessary to better define the criteria for open space lands that are suitable for dedication to the county or agencies such as ours. On page 5A-26, of the DEIR, policies permit clustering provided the resulting open space is dedicated permanently. It goes on to state this can be accomplishedd with dedication of open space easements to the county. In the Park and Recreation chapter, complimentary policies that support the acquisition and management of these dedicated lands should be-included along with the means to address the financial impact of these potential dedications on the parks and open space agencies. The potential impacts resulting from these policies then need to analyzedd in the DEIR. The District supports mitigation measures under Land Use Compatibility on page 5A-31 that would deny golf courses in areas designated for agriculture. We would also contend that golf courses should be denied in Hillside areas because they can not be compatible with the landscape and resources of the Hillside areas and are growth inducing. If golf courses continue to be permitted in the Hillside areas, stringent criteria should be established defining acceptable limits for grading, traffic, and impacts on vegetation, watersheds and wildlife habitat. In addition, policies need to be strengthened to provide a basis for linking open space dedications to golf courses and other non-residential developments, and to clarify that golf courses do not constitute open space land for the purpose&of mitigation. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the DEIR. We anticipate submitting additional comments on the revised General Plan at your'November 29 meeting and look forward to participating in the planning process.

It is expected that the meeting will not be rescheduled. After the Board"s November 9 meeting,the next regular meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, December 14, 1994. The Midpeninsula Regional Open,Space District,extending from the City of San Carlos to the Town of Los Gatos, is a public agency which has preserved over 36,000 acres of diverse open space and manages 23 open space preserves. Funding is provided by a small share of the annual total property tax revenues collected within District boundaries. The District permanently protects wildlife habitat,watershed, and a variety of ecosystems,restores damaged natural resources,and provides trail improvements for passive recreational use by the public. The District's goals are to acquire a continuous greenbelt of protected open space lands for public use and enjoyment,and to preserve open space for future generations to enjoy.

According to our Board representative, Pete Siemens and Planning Manager, Randy Anderson, their last meeting with, you was last year on October 20, at which time draft lease amendments were discussed. Since then we understand that some relatively minor issues have been addressed by you. However, the most serious issues pertaining to your obligations under the lease remain unresolved. In a final attempt to resolve these issues, the Board has appointed an ad-hoc committee consisting of Directors Siemens and Nonette Hanko, together with our new legal counsel, Sue Schectman and Planning Manager, Anderson. They will be visiting the site on November 10 at 10:00 a.m. to review the current status of the work that has been done, as well as the work to be done. We will need to have access to the interior of the buildings, so our Planning Manager will be calling you to work out arrangements for this. On a future date following the site inspection, the committee will wish to arrange a meeting time to further discuss these issues with you. Our Board is seriously concerned that so much time has elapsed without a resolution of these conflicts. Sincerely, Ginny Babbitt President, Board of Directors GB/dw c.c. MROSD Board of Directors S.

Law Office of Historic Preservation State Department of Parks & Recreation P. 0. Box 94296 Sacramento, CA 94296 Dear Ms. Law: In these days of reduced budgets for special projects, it is important for the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space,District to leverage its property tax—based funding with other sources. To this end, the District has applied to the Santa Clara County Historical Heritage Commission for a grant to restore the Homestead House in the Picchetti Ranch Area of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. I'd like to ask for your help in ensuring that funding for this project is made available from the Commission. The Homestead House is the oldest structure of the historic Picchetti Ranch, built by Italian immigrants in the early 1870s. The District would like to stabilize and restore the structure to the period of its original construction, stopping the deterioration and then rehabilitating the building. The District has a long—term plan for complete restoration of the Picchetti Ranch, and has already finished restoring a number of important historical buildings on the site. This project is of great significance to the historical agricultural heritage of Santa Clara County, being one of the few surviving remnants of everyday ranch life at the, turn of the century. The home is listed in the Santa Clara County Heritage Resource Inventory and the National Register of Historic Places, and has in the past received funding from the Commission and the State Office of Historic Preservation toward the District's restoration efforts. It would be very helpful if you wrote a letter directly to Mr. Paul Bernal, Chairperson of the Santa Clara County Historical Heritage Commission, endorsing award of this grant to the District. Write to Mr. Bernal at 70 West Hedding Street, San Jose, CA 95110. Attached is a sample letter of support that you may .wish to use as a guide in preparing your letter. It would be most useful if your letter was received by the Commission as soon as possible. We would also appreciate it if you provided our office with a copy. Thank you for your continuing support of the District and it's regional open space and recreation programs.

Picchetti Ranch is an excellent example of the type of family—operated ranch and winery that was prevalent In Santa Clara Valley at the turn of the century. It is listed in the Santa Clara County Heritage Resource Inventory and the National Register of Historic Places. Restoration of the Homestead House, the oldest structure on the site, is vital to the preservation of this valuable historical resource for use by present and future generations. The District has a long—term plan for complete restoration of the Picchetti Ranch, and to date has completed restoration of a number of important historical buildings on the site. I believe this proposal is Ideal for the Historical Project Grant program. It will encourage the recognition and appreciation of a unique historical resource in Santa Clara County. It is my hope that the Santa Clara County Historical Heritage Commission will support this effort and fund the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District's project.

This is a crucial service to your readers, many of whom no doubt use the Mercury's coverage and endorsements as a primary source of information prior to voting. I know that the Mercury is also interested in helping to"get out the vote" and your coverage goes a long way toward that end. In light of this, I think it is unfortunate that the Mercury provided little or no coverage of, and made no endorsements in,the races for the three contested seats on the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. Since the District is a property tax-based special district, it would seem appropriate for the Mercury to provide its readers with information to assist them in making an essential decision on their representatives. In addition, the District has three contested seats, a situation which has not occurred before. Especially here on the peninsula,where the Mercury's presence is increasing, the importance of the Open Space District is such that your readers deserve to be fully informed. I hope that in future elections, you'll consider a wider coverage of the District, so that your readers can base their voting decisions on informative reporting, thoughtful editorials and endorsements, and complete information.

Over the past few months,the District has been presented with a number of awards for a couple of the public affairs community outreach programs. In June of this year, the "Kids' Art of Open Space"project won the "Outstanding Program, 1994"award from the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA). That group also awarded the District an "Honorable Mention" for the children's environmental awareness coloring poster, "You Have A Place In Open Space." More recently, the National Association of Government Communicators (NAGC) announced that the "Kids' Art of Open Space"poster had won an award in the International Blue Pencil competition in the visual design category; the actual placement of the award won't be announced until the December,5 awards lunch. Then,the National Association for Interpretation(NAI) awarded second place to the "You Have A Place In Open Space"poster. These awards are high praise from such qualified groups! Many thanks are due to a number of people who participated, especially Jo Combs for her hard work in assisting to make these projects successful. In particular, her work on the concept and the rhymes for the"You Have A Place In Open Space"poster was invaluable. Carleen Bruins and Patty Quillin were also extremely important in making that poster a success, and are to be congratulated. In addition, Carleen attended the NAI conference and accepted the award on behalf of the District, in front of a crowd of over 1,000 people! Here are a few comments from the judges who reviewed the"You Have A Place In Open Space"poster for the NAI: "Clever use of verse- coloring is a nice activity to "Seems very age-appropriate, fun, inviting with lots increase the time that the kids are in contact with of info" the idea" "Really clever rhymes!" "The design is a great concept" "Cartoon illustrations are friendiv and fun to color" "A banana slug - is there such a beast?" (obviously not a Californian!) "Nicely done,excellent idea, looks like money well- spent. We need more of this type of community outreach project!" Thanks again to the staff involved for making these projects truly award-winning! 330 Distel Circle • Los Altos, California 94022-1404 • Phone:415-691-1200 • FAX:415-691-0485 Q Board of Directors:Pete Siemens,Robert McKibbin,Teena Henshaw,Ginny Babbitt,Nonette Hanko,Betsy Crowder,Wim de Wit l DISTRIBUTED ^'" BOARD FETING OF 11/8/1994 NOVEMBER 9, 4 San Mateo County Board of Supervisors Hall of Justice and Records 401 Marshall, Redwood City, CA 94063 Dear Members of the Board: On Feb. 9 of last year, after having attended the first meeting of the Alternative Funding Committec(AFC) I appeared before this board and referred to the AFC as the "Santa Claus" Committee. Now, 19 months later,you have their wish list and recommendation for yet another tax measure on the ballot. During those months I kept abreast of AFC progress, and, in the final weeks, after seeing a draft of the final report, I attended the last two meetings as designee of AFC Member Dean McHan. As a result of my effort, a correction was made. Specifically, the number of revenue producing golf courses which could be supported on public lands was increased from 1 to 4. This was consistant with the conservative estimate made by ERA, experts in this field, in their 1989 study funded by tax dollars, which was reaffirmed by Chris Yoshi of that firm. At the final meeting of AFC, I attempted to incorporate the ERA estimate into a firm recommendation that this non-tax source of revenue be pursued. The final report, which recommended yet another citizen's committee be established to "... investigate and develop non-tax based sources of revenue." remained unchanged, I cast the lone vote in opposition to the report. Subsequently, I prepared a minority report and presented it to the Park and Recreation Commission. I also obtained the full concurrence of AFC Member Dean McHan in the content of that report. In the words of that great statesman(who's name eludes me) "it's time to stop nibbling at the fringes". Take the bull by the horns and throw it out of the arena. Stick with the facts, and pursue the course of action suggested in that minority report. Perhaps, with the help of reclaimed water, we may eventually have those Green Foothils envisioned by the architects of the 1-280 corridor. And, maybe our Convention Bureau won't have to send visitors to Santa Cruz. I am aware of the MROSD response to my report, which they did not have the courtesy to copy me on. It is obvious that the current MROSD board has no interest in revenue producing recreational uses of open space land. Therefore, I recommend that this board pursue the creation of a county wide Regional Park and Open Space District with powers, under current state law, to carry out most elements of the AFC Final Report AND the minority report. As a pre-requisite to such an effort, I urge this board to authorize a survey be taken, similar to the Godbe Survey(and at no greater cost) which you authorized for the AFC. This survey should test the willingness of voters and property owners to support the use of 1% of public lands for revenue producing recreation, including at least four golf courses. It should further gauge public support for implementation of the Reclaimed water Master Plan, and related assessments, in that context. In addition, a traffic survey should be made to assess the impact of the proposed land use. Results of the survey, which one would expect to be positive, could be incorporated as an information in the voter survey. Other informations, designed to elicit support of the proposal(as was done in the AFC survey) Should be incl;"A-4a Your leadership is being put to the test. It's time to fish or cut bait.

Foster, Controller SUBJECT: Mid-Year Financial Review CONTROLLER'S REPORT Attached are unaudited financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 1994. I Exhibit A contains the District's September 30 balance sheet compared to our audited position on March 31. Our cash balance is essentially unchanged due to the very low level of land acquisition expenditures. These land purchAses, which totaled only $135,000, are listed in Exhibit F. It should be noted that about half, $5.6 million, of this cash balance are reserve funds to secure outstanding public notes and, therefore, not available to fund District expenditures. The District's level of bonded indebtedness is now about 80% of our statutory debt ceiling, providing ample room to accommodate our planned January 1995 sale of promissory notes. Exhibit B shows our six month revenues compared to the same period a year ago and to the twelve month budget. Tax revenue during the April-June period was over budget by $95,000 (3%) due to higher than expected secured tax receipts from Santa Clara County. The 1994- 95 assessed valuation report from San Mateo County indicates July-March revenue from that county will be 1-2% below budget expectations. Initial 1994-95 receipts from Santa Clara County are also running below budget estimates. It is likely that overall tax revenue will be 1 to 2% below the annual budget. Six month property tax receipts are 9% below 1993 receipts because of the large increments of'prior year taxes we received last year due to both counties implementing the Teeter Plan. Under the Teeter Plan, we received a final advance of unpaid prior taxes in 1993-1994 and will no longer receive this element of tax revenue. The unusually large amount of "other" revenue relates to insurance and legal claims. Exhibits C, D, and E review six month operational and development spending against the twelve month budget (C), versus the time-phased six month budget (D), and compared to the same period last year (E). The District spent 42% of its total twelve month administrative, operations, and development budget during the first six months. This is below the level at this time last year (46%) and a bit lower than the level of the prior four years (41%, 45%, 48%, 46%). By program, six month spending versus twelve month budget was 330 Distel Circle 9 Los Altos, California 94022-1404 e Phone: 415-691-1200 *�FAX: 415-691-0485 Board of Directors:Pete Siemens,Robert McKibbin, leena Henshaw,Ginny Babbitt,Nonette Hanko,Betsy Crowder,Wim de Wit M-94-01 Page 2 Administration 44%, Public Affairs 44%, Operations 51%, Acquisition 31%, and Planning 22%. As usual, the most underspent category is Structures and Improvements. The planning staff estimates that about half of the budgeted expenditures for Structures and Improvements will slip into next year. It is also anticipated that the $150,000 budgeted for Land Option Fees and $100,000 of the budget for Building Improvements will not be spent. Six month spending was $276,800 (11%) below the time-phased program budgets, closer to budget than in most prior years. Half of the variance is in the Structures and Improvements category and will not be made-up in the second half. As shown in Exhibit E, administration, operational, and development spending was down 4% from last year's spending rate. Salaries were up 12% and benefits were up 17% (PERS) but this was offset by significantly reduced spending on Structures and Improvements. Overall, the financial results of the first six months indicate revenues and expenditures are consistent with the District's long-term financial plans.
