at April 26 meeting Board of Directors on options for filling
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Ward 4 vacancy
330 Distel Circle
Los Altos, CA 94022
Dear Fellow Directors:
It is with mixed feelings that I announce my resignation from the Board of Directors of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District as of May 25, 1995. My five years of service on
the Board have been tremendously rewarding; however, the demands of my work greatly limit
the time and attention that I can provide to the District. Therefore, it is time that I relinquish
my seat to someone with as much dedication -- but with much more time -- to serve the Open
Space District.
Years of undaunted and driven devotion by the public, the board, and the staff inspired me to
join the District Board. I am deeply proud to have served with and for these dedicated people
who have created a world-renowned treasure of lands rich with natural, recreational, and
educational opportunities despite its metropolitan influence. My leaving the District Board
member by no means ends my commitment to supporting a balance of nature, beauty, and
recreation in the Bay area.
I have enjoyed many accomplishments on the District Board, and certainly I leave many
challenges unresolved. Yet, I have absolute confidence, especially in the District's staff, that
its lands and the resources will be managed as best possible. Although I may not be with you,
know that I whole-heartedly support you and wish you well.
Sincerely,
Ginny Babbitt

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am writing to you as a result of having received a
warning notice last week for walking my leashed dog at
the Russian Ridge unit. I assumed that the ban on dogs
was not capricious or purposely discriminatory. So, I
asked for the reasons for the ban. The conversation
with the ranger raised some questions that I would
appreciate having answered.
She stated that a concern about dogs was the feces
that they might leave behind. In view of the fact that
any number of wild animals -- particularly those
similar to dogs, such as coyotes and foxes -- will
deposit similar scat, I ask why you consider domestic
canine feces to be more objectionable? If you do so on
the basis of domesticity and that they are not part of
the natural biota, then I must respectfully ask how you
justify allowing horses on the trails. Also, since I
have not seen evidence of any sanitary facilities
provided for humans, it must be assumed that human
urine and feces are regularly deposited within the
preserve. With respect to the potential for disease
transmission, human feces must be considered to be a
greater risk for humans than dog feces. With respect
to the potential for disturbing wildlife, I would
assume that human waste would be similar to that of any
other predator, including dogs. Which leads me to my
next question.
She further stated thatthere was concern about
disturbing wildlife. Humans are themselves 'a
significant disturbance by their very presence. The
mountain bikes that are allowed are a particular hazard
to California Newts, Banana Slugs, snakes, toads,
lizards and numerous other small animals that would not
normally be stepped on by hikers; yet, you allow the
bikes. However, more to the point: was this particular
rationale based on any citable, veer-reviewed study by
biologists or game management specialists, or was it
just something the board felt to be self-evident? It
is my impression that the experience of ranchers has
been that individual dogs are rarely a threat to
livestock and certainly never while under supervision.
The problem has historically been with feral and/or
domesticated animals running in packs that have been
problems. The California Fish and Game Code
specifically prohibits allowing dogs to harass animals
that are not game animals being pursued legitimately
during open season; therefore, the state provides you
with a means of control . Why is it then necessary to
exclude dogs for concern about them disturbing
wildlife?
While hiking, I noted a closed trail that
specifically excluded bikes and horses because of the
erosion resulting from their use. Since dogs have low
impact on the terrain -- they are even easier on the
ground than Vibram soles -- dogs would seem to have
less permanent effects on the total system than horses
or bikes. Is then political expediency the reason that
you allow horses and bikes and not dogs?
If you are pandering to the influence of what are
typically economically-advantaged horse owners, I point
out that dog owners certainly outnumber horse owners by
a ratio of at least 1000 to 1 . Are you really serving
the community equitably by allowing horses and not
allowing dogs? Horses are usually a means of
transportation. For many of us, our dogs are our
friends and companions, however. we find it as
objectionable to go somewhere without our dogs as some
would find it to be forced to leave their children
home. Do you prohibit seeing-eye dogs? Would it not
be possible to at least open certain trails to dog
owners?
Lastly, I point out that with the more frequent
attacks by mountain lions upon joggers and even bikers,
you should be giving consideration to protection of
users of the preserves. I could well imagine that if
someone were killed or seriously hurt by a mountain
lion you may well find yourself in litigation as a
result of prohibiting users from any effective means of
protection or deterrence from attacks. Would you
rather hikers carry firearms, or be allowed dogs for
protection?
Sincerely,
4yde H. S n�cer

Clyde H. Spencer PREPARED BY STAFF
2141 Muirwood Ct. FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION
San Jose, CA 95132
Dear Mr. Spencer:
Thank you for your March 31, 1995 letter supporting increased access for dogs on District open
space preserves. The District's Board of Directors reviewed your comments at our Regular Meeting
last night. Your letter has been forwarded to the Board committee appointed to investigate the issue
of access for dogs.
The District allows dogs on leash at 6 of our 23 preserves: Pulgas Ridge, Windy Hill, Foothills,
Long Ridge, Fremont Older, and St. Joseph's Hill. Guide and service dogs under physical control,
specifically licensed to assist the blind, deaf, or disabled may go anywhere on the preserves with
their owners. Current access allowed evolved during the period from 1983 to 1987. Based on
continued support for additional access for dogs, the Board of Director's Dog Use Committee
initiated a study process in September 1993 to carefully review the current program for dog access.
A summary of the current status of our review of dog access is attached for your information.
During the past year and one-half, District staff and a citizen's task force, under the charge of the
Dog Use Committee, have conducted extensive research on the policies and experiences of other
agencies regarding dogs, and on academic or scientific research on the issue. Very little hard
evidence was available and the policies and opinions ranged widely among agencies. Research is
currently focused on which of our preserves might be appropriate to open up to leashed dogs and
under what criteria. Also, draft criteria have been developed for reviewing potential for an
experimental off-leash subarea. A public meeting before the Dog Use Committee to review the
results of this research is anticipated in May. After review by the committee, the issue will come
before the full Board.
I appreciate your various comments on this issue, and they will be given careful consideration.
Your name has been added to the list of persons to be notified of meetings regarding increased
access for dogs on District preserves. I hope you will attend to further express your views.
Sincerely,
Pete Siemens, President
Board of Directors

SUBJECT: Board Member Compensation Donations
Dear Colleagues :
This study came about as a result of the Committee ' s
interest in exploring ways by which individual Board members
could donate compensation on a voluntary basis to specific
District funds or projects .
The Committee is sending to the Board District Legal
Counsel ' s memo on this subject as an informational report . We
are also requesting the General Manager to comment on how he
would administer such a program.
The Committee suggests that each Board member should feel
free to participate or not on a voluntary basis; that individual
participation could be decided on monthly and anonymously (or
not) according to the wishes of the individual donor.
As a guide for individual recognition under this program,
the Committee suggests the use of the Board' s already adopted
Gifts Recognition Policy, under the section titled Unsolicited
Gifts :

MEMORANDUM
April 3, 1995
TO: President Siemens and Board Members
FROM: Susan M. Schectman, Legal Counsel
SUBJECT: Tau. Consequences of Donation to District of Boardmembers' Compensation
Issue
The Board is considering a program which would allow District Boardmembers to donate all or
a portion of their monthly compensation to the District. The Board has requested an opinion
concerning the feasibility and tax consequences of such a program.
Summary
Boardmembers who wish to make a donation of their compensation to the District have two
alternatives:
(1) A Boardmember may elect to receive the full compensation due him or her and make a
donation of all or a portion of it back to the District. The Boardmember will be taxed
on the full amount of the compensation received. However, the Director will be entitled
to a charitable deduction for the donation up to 50% of adjusted gross income.
(2) A Director may agree in advance to forego all or a part of his or her compensation
before it is earned. If this income is waived, it will not be taxable income to the
Director. No charitable deduction will be available. The Director may not direct that
the foregone income be applied to a designated project. However, the District can
publicly recognized the special contribution made by the Director by foregoing
compensation and can give special recognition to him or her by identifying the amount
of cost savings and the types of projects this savings enabled the District to accomplish.
This choice has the most tax advantages to the Director, yet has the same financial
benefit to the District as Scenario One. This seems the better choice for a Director who
wishes to forego compensation.

General Manager:L.Cr,ig Brition
Discussion
CAVEAT: In answering this question, I can review certain general tax principles for the Board.
I am not attempting to advise any Director individually concerning his or her personal tax
liability. Directors who wish to participate in this program should consult their own tax adviser
to determine how such a program would affect them personally.
Donation of a Directors' compensationg
could fall into three scenarios with the following tax
consequences:
Scenario l: Director Smith is entitled to $500 in compensation for January. Smith
receives the $500 and makes a $200 donation back to the District.
Rem: Smith has received $500 in taxable income. The taxable income is
reduced by a $200 charitable deduction. The District qualifies as a charitable
organization for charitable deduction purposes. The total amount which may be
donated for deduction purposes may not exceed 50% of the Director's adjusted
gross income.
Scenario Two: Director Smith is entitled to $500 in compensation for January. He
instructs the District that he does not wish to receive $500 and instructs the
District to send him only $300.
Result: If a Director refuses compensation already earned, the result may very
well be the same as Scenario One: the Director has received $500 in taxable
income and made a $200 charitable contribution to the District. This is due to
a tax principle known as the "Constructive Receipt Doctrine" which provides that
a person who has earned income but refuses payment thereof is still taxable on
the full income earned.
However, if the Director instructs the District in advance of earning compensation
that certain compensation will be waived or foregone, the Director will not be
taxed on the amount of compensation foregone. A charitable deduction is not
available for the amount foregone because it has never been earned.
Scenario Three: Director Smith is due $500 in compensation in January. He instructs the
District that he only wishes to receive $300 and instructs the District to direct the
$200 he would otherwise have received to an earmarked special project of the
District, such as building a trail, a memorial site, or other specified project.
Result: If a Director refuses compensation already earned, the result is the same
as Scenario Two: he will be taxed on the full amount earned and be entitled to
$200 charitable deduction.
2
If the Director instructs the District in advance that the $200 in income will be
waived, the Director should not direct the District to use the $200 he would
otherwise have earned to a specific project. If he does so, he risks creating a
situation where the full amount will be taxable income to him. Tax law holds
that, where a person has the right to receive income but directs that it be paid
elsewhere, that person is still chargeable with that income. To avoid this, the
Director must make sure that the income is never earned and thus cannot be
designated for expenditure on a specific project.
However, even where the income is waived, the District Board of Directors can
recognize Directors who have foregone compensation by giving them special
public recognition. For example, annually, the Board could recognize such
Directors, acknowledge the amount of compensation foregone and the resulting
savings to the District, and acknowledge the types of projects the Board was able
to accomplish as a result.
If a Director wishes to participate in this type of program, the arrangements should be set up
properly in writing prior to earning income. The Director's instructions can be accepted by the
Board as an agenda item or by the General Manager.

assist and represent the District in its dealings with the Town of Woodside to secure the
necessary approvals to proceed with the sale of the surplus property at Teague Hill Open
Space Preserve.
2. Approve a maximum $20,000 budget expenditure for Phase Two of Enshallah's services
and a maximum$5,000 budget expenditure for engineering services and application filing
fees for a total additional authorization of $25,000.
DISCUSSION
When the Teague Hill property in Woodside was originally purchased by the District in 1988,
the acquisition was approved with the understanding that the District could not afford the total
purchase price of $7,500,000 without recapture of a significant portion of the purchase price
(see report R-88-59, dated May 15, 1988 and report R-88-87, dated July 18, 1988). Two 35-
acre parcels were created by the District in the least objectionable part of the property to be sold
for residential subdivision.
At your regular meeting of October 26, 1994, you authorized 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 while preserving the maximum possible amount of public open space. You
also authorized the general manager to negotiate a contract with Enshallah Developments, Inc.
in the amount of $10,000 to assist and represent the District in working with the Town of
Woodside and in marketing the property (see report R-94-105).
Geraldine Steinberg of Enshallah has completed the first phase of research and discussions with
Woodside officials. She has obtained very positive results in clarifying the potential and process
for using lot line adjustments to create saleable parcels. This effort centered on a very detailed
review of the history of parcelization of the property since the Spanish land grant to the present
and review of the District's powers under the Subdivision Map Act. Based on these discussions,
Woodside Town officials have agreed that the District has a basis for filing an application for
certificates of compliance on up to seven parcels (six saleable parcels and the open space
remainder). This application is approved administratively. The certificates would then be

recorded with the county. Subsequently, Enshallah would submit a lot line adjustment map for
review by the Planning Commission for conformance with zoning. After approval by the
Planning Commission, the map would be recorded and the legally saleable parcels would exist.
They would still be subject to the proving of access, geotechnical, and septic system feasibility
at the building permit stage.
Enshallah's initial $10,000 budget for services to represent the District has been expended. A
new authorization of$20,000 to continue these services through the submittal and review phase
(Phase Two) is requested at this time. Costs will also be incurred for preparation of the lot line
adjustment map by Brian, Kangas, Foulk, Civil Engineers, who have performed the previous
studies of the site for the District and others, for filing fees for certificates of compliance with
the Town, and for a preliminary soil percolation assessment. These costs are estimated roughly
at $5,000 at this time, for a total requested additional authorization of $25,000. There is
sufficient budget in the planning consultants category to cover these costs. All of Enshallah's
fees would ultimately be credited against their real estate commission should they represent the
District in the sale of the property.

AGENDA ITEM
Transfer of La Point Scenic Easement to the Santa Clara County Open Space Authority
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the accompanying resolution approving and authorizing execution of the Scenic Easement
Transfer Agreement with the Santa Clara County Open Space Authority.
DISCUSSIO
At your June 30, 1975 meeting, you adopted Resolution 75-14 accepting the gift of a 20-acre
scenic easement from Merrill E. and Dorothy J. La Point (see report R-75-93, dated June 27,
1975). Although located approximately seven miles due south of the southernmost edge of the
District's sphere of influence, this easement was accepted as a gift and recorded just prior to the
tax sale. This was a creative opportunity to assure that this property would be preserved, while
declining to assume fee title and any liability associated with the tax delinquency and/or ongoing
property tax obligations. Because of the property's location, it was hoped that a similar agency
might one day be formed that would assume the preservation benefits of this easement.
Now that the Santa Clara County Open Space Authority has been officially created to preserve
desirable open space lands in most of the balance of Santa Clara County, they have been offered
a gift transfer of this scenic easement. In fact, it is with great pleasure that our District is able
to offer the Open Space Authority its very first parcel of open space for permanent preservation.
Board President Siemens and I attended the Authority meeting of March 23, 1995, were
introduced, and their Board expressed appreciation as they approved this proposed gift
transaction.

The Board of Directors of the MidPeninsula Re Space District does resolve as
Regional Open P
follows:
One. The Board of Directors of the Mid peninsula Regional n
Section0 e pe g Open
Space District does hereby approve that certain Scenic Easement Transfer Agreement
between the Santa Clara County Open Space Authority and the Midpeninsula Regional Open
Space District dated March 15, 1995, 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 Quitclaim Deed granting the real property interest (Scenic
Easement) being conveyed by the District.
Section Three. 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 closing of the transaction.
Section Five. The Board of Directors finds and determines that, pursuant to
Section 5540 of the Public Resources Code of the State of California, the no cost transfer of
this Scenic Easement furthers the purposes of the District because this property lies outside
the District boundary and is more appropriately and adequately owned, managed and
operated by the Santa Clara County Open Space Authority. Further, the Board of Directors
finds that the granting and releasing of this real property interest is in accordance with the
Basic Policy of the District in that this transfer will maximize the opportunity for
preservation of open space, will foster cooperation between these government agencies to
preserve open space and will most efficiently utilize available government resources in
managing open space.

Agreement with California Department of Forestry and Fir -Protection to Use Radio
Frequencies
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATI
Authorize the general manager to enter into a contract agreement with the State of
California, Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF) to use state licensed radio
frequencies for mutual aid incidents and training.
DISCUSSION
For the past several months, staff has been working on securing the use of several new
mutual aid fire and law enforcement frequencies. The use of these frequencies will improve
the field staff's ability to communicate directly with other emergency service providers.
Over one-half of District lands are within the jurisdiction of CDF. It is essential for District
field staff members to communicate effectively with CDF when responding to fires and other
emergencies on District preserves and adjacent lands. The attached agreement allows for the
use of specific CDF radio frequencies for this purpose. This is being offered at no cost to
the District and is subject to termination by either party with seven (7) days written notice.
In addition to the CDF frequencies, the District recently acquired a FCC license for "fire
blue," a Santa Clara County mutual aid fire frequency, and authorization to use
"CLEMARS," the California Law Enforcement Mutual Aid System.

NEIGHBORHOOD WORKSHOP
Skyline Boulevard gate ® Portola Heights Road
Tuesday, April 25, 1995
6:30 p.m.
The District's 1991 use and management plan for the Long Ridge Open Space
Preserve includes a recommendation to link the Long Ridge and Skyline Ridge Open Space
Preserve with a section of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. With the recent purchase of the
property needed to complete the trail connection, the District now plans to build the trail
segment later this spring. As planned, the trail will cross Portola Heights Road near the
Skyline Boulevard gate and generally follows the alignment of an existing roadbed down to
Peters Creek.

Subject: Long Ridge Open Space Preserve - Rights of the Portola Park Heights Homeowners
Relating to Easements Over District Lands
Dear Ms. Stone:
As we discussed, this letter is being sent to you based upon your kind offer to pass the information
on to the association members. The District would also be willing to meet with the group to
discuss this matter further if that is your wish. The purpose of this letter is to clarify the rights of
the Portola Park Heights Homeowners Association and its members relating to easements over
District land. The District hopes that this letter will help avoid future potential problems and
ensure a smooth working relationship with our Portola Park Heights neighbors.
After one of the January winter storms, one of the association's members was seen cutting trees on
District property on the Long Ridge Open Space Preserve. The District investigated the
circumstances thoroughly, and determined that the action appeared to be unauthorized and
unwarranted. The District has decided, however, to refrain from taking further action in this
instance and wants to take the opportunity to emphasize the importance of working together in
advance to resolve such matters. This approach lessens the possibility of decisions or acts which
could expose your association or its members to the risk of substantial legal liability.
The association's members, who are property owners, have an easement through District property,
and a right to maintain the easement in an open and safe condition. As an easement owner,
however, your rights are specifically limited. Before the association or any easement holder enters
and makes changes to District land for the purposes of maintaining and exercising easement rights,
the association or easement holder must be able to prove that the work is necessary to protect or
i f work, u does i anyway, that
those rights. If someone cannot rove the necessity o the o but t exercise P h' �
person faces a risk of liability for damages done to District land.
Unauthorized cutting of trees is a violation of both state law and District regulations.
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Land Use Regulation Section 702.1 provides:
No person shall damage, injure, collect, or remove any plant or tree or portion
thereof, whether living or dead, including but not limited to flowers, mushrooms,
bushes, vines, grass, turf, cones and dead wood located on District lands.

The basic value of a tree that is 12 inches in diameter exceeds $2,500. State law provides for
either double or triple damages for the wrongful cutting of trees (Code of Civil Procedure Section
733; Civil Code Section 3346.) The cutting or removal of trees with a circumference more than
39" at 4 1/2 feet off the ground also violates San Mateo County ordinances.
The District views the cutting, felling and/or removal of trees on District property as a very
serious matter. In the management of its lands, the District takes such action with extreme caution
and reluctance. Therefore, any concerns you may have regarding trees on District land should be
resolved with District staff prior to taking any action without District permission. The District
requests that the association and its individual members contact District staff before starting any
maintenance work whenever you have concerns about interference with your access rights.
Thank you for sharing this letter with the members of the Portola Park Heights Homeowners
Association. The District wants to work with its Portola Park Heights neighbors in a cooperative
manner. Good communication between us will help preserve g reserve the fights of your association and its
members while protecting and preserving the Districts property and the rights of the public.
Sincerely,

Subject: NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING: Gate Replacement & Other Amenities
Dear Neighbor:
I am enclosing a site plan for the proposed replacement of the electric gate at the Skyline
Boulevard entrance to your driveway. Additional changes outlined on the site plan include
realignment of the Fowkes driveway, fencing, signing and landscaping. I believe all of the
concerns raised at the February 9, 1993 neighborhood meeting at the Fowkes home have
been addressed.
I would like to schedule an evening meeting to explain the components of the plan 'on the
ground.' I will hold a meeting at the gate location on Wednesday, April 19 at 6:00 p.m.,
when I can walk you through the plan and answer any questions. If you cannot attend on
April 19 and would like to meet, please give me a call. Perhaps we can schedule another
time or discuss your concerns over the telephone.
I recently met with a representative of a company specia!*-*,ig in security gate systems.
They designed the proposed system which consists of two eight-foot gates, two motor
operators to open and close the gates, a digital keypad and a backup battery system for the
gate motors. As designed, the gates will open automatically when vehicles are exiting.
Also, a safety feature will be installed which keeps the gates open until a vehicle passes
beyond a specified point (in either direction) before the gate closes.
The digital keypad can hold LIP to 10 different codes, allowing each household a separate
code to trigger the gate-opening mechanism. I am hopeful that this provides enough code
options. If more than one code per household is needed, a different model keypad will be
required at a slightly higher cost.
Portable transmitters are available. The cost is dependent upon how many are ordered.
Purchase of a transmitter will be the responsibility of each homeowner, however, I can
coordinate the purchase. They will cost $25.00 if 1-5 are ordered, $20.00 if 6-10 are
ordered, or $17.50 if 11 or more are ordered.
I would like to schedule the Fowkes driveway realignment later this month, followed shortly

thereafter with the gate and electrical system installation. Trail construction is tentatively
scheduled for May. However, the trail construction will not occur until the gate, driveway
and fencing installation is complete.
Please feel free to call me at (415) 691-1200 if you have any questions. Otherwise, I will
see you on April 19.

Thank you and the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District for your generous offer to assist with
our effort to secure supplemental funding for the various parks\recreation\open space agencies in
San Mateo County.
I am sorry for the delay in responding to your letter of March 8, 1995 but as you know we have
had to slow down a bit while we bring the schools and libraries on board and sort out the various
players. As Wim deWit has undoubtedly told you this has been no easy task.
You are included on our list of suggested steering committee members. The first steering committee
meeting is scheduled for May 12, 1995 at 8:30 A.M.. Details will follow from Patrick Sanchez.
I'm sure the expertise and experience of the district staff and volunteers will be extremely valuable
as we formalize a program to present to the voters.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Administrative Guidelines for Administrative Leave Program for Managers
Effective April 1, 1995, an administrative leave program will be established for management
level employees. The following guidelines will apply:
1. Management employees will be granted 40 hours of administrative leave time on January
1 of each calendar year.
2. Administrative leave time must be taken in one hour minimum increments and cannot be
carried over from one calendar year to another.
3. No more than 8 hours of administrative leave time may be added to vacation time for
purposes of extending a scheduled vacation, unless additional use of administrative leave
is approved in advance by the general manager.

more administrative leave hours than the portion of the year worked, the manager will
reimburse the District the difference.

administrative leave hours for the remainder of that calendar year.

Dear Mr. Siemens.
Thank you for your recent letter in which you express your concern regarding budget cuts
affecting the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC).
You will be pleased to know that I consider the activities of BCDC of great value to the state
of California. By opening up over one hundred miles of the San Francisco Bay to
recreational activities, the BCDC has helped to stimulate the economy while conserving vast
areas of land for public parks, and the Bay itself for sensitive marine habitats and shipping
purposes.
As a member of the Budget Committee, please be assured that I will do my best to ensure
that the BCDC is financially able to continue serving these vital functions. This will include
an effort on my part to see that the BCDC retains its institutional autonomy from the
California Coastal Commission. At this point, I can not predict the outcome of this proposal,
but I have already spoken to the Governor's staff, Secretary of Resources Doug Wheeler,
about my opposition. I hope that is helpful Despite budget constraints, we must work to
ensure that sensible environmental programs remain intact.
Once again, thank you for your letter. Please continue to keep me informed about your
opinions on issues facing the legislature.
Sincerely,
JIM CUNNNEE

Re: Open Space News Spring 1995
Thank you for a delightful and informative newsletter. I never know when
it will arrive in my mailbox, but when it does I stop whatever I'm up to, brew
a cup a tea, curt up in my favorite chair and read it - the Open Space News -
cover to cover.
I have a request. Would you please identify the pictures you use of open
spaces in your newsletters. I have hiked into the Duveneck Windmill
Pasture Area from Rancho San Antonio, from Rhus Ridge Road, and from
Hidden Villa. But, I don't recognize where the photo on page 1 was taken
from. I suspect Rhus Ridge. Anyway, I think a photo identifier would add
another interesting dimension to the newsletter. I love to be able to take my
newsletter to work and say, "Look, this is the trail to Duveneck Windmill
Pasture Area from Rhus Ridge. The trail is right off Moody Road, and goes
straight up for .9 miles. It's a killer during the hottest part of summer. But
worth the effort." Anyway, that's my request.
Thanks, for listening.

Open Space District Offers Support For
Bay Conservation And Development Commission
Los Altos, CA -- At its regular meeting last night, the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula
Regional Open Space District passed a resolution urging continued State support and funding for the San
Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC).
Since its formation in 1965, BCDC has been the agency responsible for protecting the San
Francisco Bay and shoreline. It has effectively controlled and slowed development and expansion of
landfill that would otherwise have resulted in dramatic and irreparable loss of Bay surface, sensitive
wetlands, crucial habitat, and much-needed public access areas. Governor Wilson recently declared his
intent to delete funding for BCDC, transferring its responsibilities to the Coastal Commission and/or
other agencies, which do not have the resources, experience, or local representation to effectively carry
out the long-term tasks of BCDC. The Board's resolution will be sent to Governor Wilson and to State
Senator Alfred Alquist, Chair of the Budget and Fiscal Review Committee.
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 37,000 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. There are
approximately 20,000 - 30,000 acres of land still at risk of being lost to development within the District's
planning area.
The District is divided into seven geographic wards, each represented for a four year term by an
elected Board member. The Board holds public meetings on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each
month at 7:30 p.m., at the District offices.

RESOLUTION NO. 95-11
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
SUPPORTING CONTINUED FUNDING FOR THE
SAN FRANCISCO BAY CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District fends
that the San Francesco Bav Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC)provides a unique and
crucial service to the communities around the Bay Area ; and
WHEREAS, BCDC has proven itself to be the most effective, efficient, and successful agency
in restoring the Bay's natural shoreline and enhancing economic development opportunities for local
communities; and
WHEREAS, BCDC is an important participant in the development of the San Francisco Bay
Trail, a 400-mile trail system that will encircle the Bay, providing for public access, recreation,
environmental education, and habitat preservation for the nine Bay Area counties, including a
significant portion within District boundaries; and
WHEREAS, since its creation in 1965, BCDC has been involved in and largely responsible
for reducing the felling of the Bay from an average of 2,300 acres per year to nearly zero;for helping to
increase public access to the Bay shoreline from four miles to 110 miles;for helping to increase the
surface of the Bay by 800 acres;for assisting in the permanent protection of 99,000 acres of Bay
wetlands;for working toward the acquisition of 10,000 acres of wetlands wildlife habitat; and
WHEREAS, BCDC has shown great leadership in encouraging sound design for facilities on
the Bay, and has been directly responsible for much of the public access around the Bay; and
WHEREAS, with the momentous changes taking place around the Bay, and the opportunities
for the future of Bay shore preservation and public access, BCDC is even more crucial than ever if the
Bay shoreline is to be maintained and enhanced; and
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the Governor to consolidate BCDC with the California Coastal
Commission, which would dilute and weaken the effectiveness of BCDC to the point where the precious
natural resource of the Bay will be threatened.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula
Regional Open Space District strongly encourages the State Legislature and the Governor to maintain
BCDC in its existing form with at least its current level of funding, and to abandon plans to consolidate
this agency with any other agency.
