AGENDA ITEM
Proposed Preliminary Action Plan for the Implementation of the District's Basic Policy for Fiscal
Year 2000-2001
ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Review the proposed Preliminary Action Plan for the 2000-200 fiscal year, modify as necessary,
and adopt the Preliminary Action Plan.
DISCUSSION
The District's activities are guided by an annual Action Plan that implements the Basic Policy and
other Board policies. The Action Plan's function is to summarize the purposes and current
emphasis of the District's major programs, to identify key projects, to allocate budget, and to be a
basis for evaluation of progress.
The fiscal year 2000-2001 Action Plan reflects both extraordinary opportunities and success in
furthering the District's mission. The District proposal to annex the San Mateo County coast is
the most significant and complex project ever undertaken by the District. The Action Plan
identifies staff and consultant resources necessary to make this project successful.
At the same time, the District has experienced tremendous success over the past few years in its
acquisition efforts, and in its efforts to improve and publicize its lands for low-intensity public
recreational use. The District has now preserved over 44,000 acres of open space land on the
Peninsula. But with this success we have seen a dramatic increase in management responsibilities,
projects, and issues to be resolved. In spite of their best efforts, staff has not been able to keep up
with the demand for services, including work on some major planning and policy questions of
great interest to the Board and the public.
The proposed Action Plan includes new staff resources in several key areas that will allow District
programs to continue performing to the standard expected by the Board and the public. Each
Program Manger will highlight specific proposals and related projects and services during their
individual Action Plan presentations at this evening's meeting.

To Implement the
BASIC POLICY OBJECTIVE:
The District seeks to purchase or otherwise acquire interest in the maximum feasible area of
strategic open space land within the District planning areas, including baylands and foothills.
The District seeks to link its open space lands with federal, state, county, and city parklands
and watershed lands.
General Program Emphasis for 2000-2001
The program's emphasis will be to acquire the higher priority projects funded under the
District's Financing Authority. Lower priority properties will be pursued through long-term
options, available grant funding, bargain sales, and gifts. The District will continue to work
with Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) to acquire land and to further the District's overall
open space acquisition goals. The Enterprise Subprogram will focus on maximizing rental
income consistent with Open Space Management policies, and on maintaining and improving
District rental structures. The Land Protection Subprogram will focus on conducting
comprehensive land acquisition studies, monitoring land use planning activities surrounding
District preserves, and protect interests in land by resolving conflicts arising from easement
and encroachment issues. In the event the California Safe Neighborhoods, Clean Water, Clean
Air and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000 (Proposition 12) is passed by the voters in
March, this action plan may require amendment for final Board approval to provide for the
additional acquisition efforts that may be needed to respond to additional grant funds.

2000-2001
Negotiations and Special Projects Subprogram
Objective
To provide for the acquisition of all real property rights necessary to secure a recreational and open space
greenbelt in the foothills and baylands, including rounding out and improving public access to existing
preserves and connecting District preserves with other public lands.
Key Projects
1. New Land Commitments - Convert the budgeted funds in the New Land Commitments budget
category into open space lands, at desirable prices, focusing on the higher priority properties which
specifically protect the greenbelt - including rounding out and improving public access to existing
preserves, connecting to other preserves or public lands, and furthering the completion of the San
Francisco Bay Trail and Bay Area Ridge Trail with potential ultimate trail connections to the Pacific
Coast. Balance the desirability of the potential acquisition with the availability of limited funds,
including, if possible, private financing with favorable terms and obtaining trail easements.
2. Pursue Key Acquisitions - To protect the scenic ridgeline at the District's northern boundary, pursue
negotiations to acquire critical properties under threat of present or future development. Pursue
acquisition of important properties at District's southern boundary linking District lands with State
park lands including potential connection between the Bay Area Ridge Trail and Santa Cruz County's
Coastal Trail.
3. Alternative Acquisition Methods - Obtain Board approval on appropriate options, at market prices
or less, to acquire desirable properties that might be affordable upon the possible passage of
Proposition 12 and available funding which would result in additional funding for land acquisition.
Explore various alternative terms of purchase (installment purchases, defensible fee, etc.) to offer
advantages and incentives to landowners including formation of a possible assessment district, as well
as cost savings to the District.
4. Grants, Gifts, Bargain Sales and Joint Acquisitions - To augment lted acquisition funds,
explore new grant opportunities, and focus on acquiring open space lands through bargain sales,
and/or gifts where possible. Pursue the joint acquisition of appropriate properties with Santa Clara
County Parks near the Lexington Reservoir. Work closely with Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST)
to pursue grant opportunities to acquire lands that provide potential regional and coastal trail
r l
connections such as the POST owned Loma recta Ranch property, and lands that round out existing
open space preserves such as the POST owned Upper Bear Creek Redwoods and Guadalupe Land
Company properties.
Other Projects and Activities
1. Maintain a multi-year spending plan for open space acquisition which optimizes use of cash and
borrowed funds to accomplish acquisition goals within extremely tight budget constraints.
2. Complete the annexation process through the Local Agency Formation Committee in San Mateo
County to include properties which are outside of the District's current boundaries.
- 3 -
3. Continue to pursue sale or exchange of the "Teague Hill" surplus property.
4. Provide on-going acquisition planning and priorities input to the Planning team.
5. Explore additional methods to protect open space lands for less than the total cost of fee acquisition
(open space easements, acquisition of development rights, development dedication, exchange or sale
of development rights, cooperation with private individuals and groups, etc.).
6. Encourage other agencies to acquire through various means, including grants park and open space
lands, that are consistent with their goals and will help complete the greenbelt.
7. Initiate and maintain contacts with landowners, real estate appraisers and brokers, developers,
architects, engineers, zoning and planning officials, and financial institutions.
8. Maintain a relocation assistance program utilizing staff and consultants as necessary.
9. Compile current information on real estate market activity, including ordering preliminary title reports
on a timely basis for research into potentially available properties.
10. Catalog information of special interest, such as deed restrictions, encumbrances, financing and tax
considerations. This activity includes the establishment and continuation of a working relationship
with title companies and other information sources.

with private property owners in seeking balanced land use plans that will maximize open space
preservation.
3. Easement Monitoring - To protect and monitor District lands encumbered by private and public
easements and, conversely, protect District-owned open space easements where located on private and
public lands. When easements are potentially violated, resolutions will be sought that protect and
enhance open space values and minimize legal costs. Seek compliance with easements or, if
necessary, seek modifications to enhance open space protection. Use proper enforcement techniques
if conflict resolution can not be achieved.
4. Encroachment Reduction - To protect open space preserves from encroachments and preserve District
property rights. Work closely with Planning, Operations and Legal programs to achieve early
identification of potential encroachments and seek resolution by negotiations and enforcement, if

AGENDA ITEM
Initial Presentation of the Budget for Fiscal Year 2000-2001
ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATIONS 'Ceccz,_
1. Review the proposed budget for the 2000-2001 fiscal year.
2. Approve the Proposed Budget Guidelines for Board Conference Attendance.
The proposed budget for the 2000-2001 fiscal year will be presented again at your March 22 meeting for
final consideration and adoption. The controller's annual report will be presented at the March 22 meeting.
The Administration and Budget Committee will report to you at the March 22 meeting.
DISCUSSION
Overview
This report presents the proposed expense budget for the April 1, 2000,through March 31, 2001, fiscal
year. Staff will review the proposed budget at your March 8 meeting. The proposed budget for the 2000-
2001 fiscal year currently totals $33,235,331 and breaks down as follows:
Land Purchases $20,000,000
Debt Services $6,078,811
Operating Expenses $6,331,120
Public Access Improvements $490,150
Staff Facility Improvements $207,000
Coastal Annexation $128,250
The proposed$6,331,120 operating budget does not include any cost-of-living or other salary adjustments
for employees represented by S.E.I.U. Local 715 and office, supervisory, and management staff. Because
of union negotiations, and pending review of the salary and benefit classification study, exact adjustments
are not known at this time, but will be brought back to the Board at a later time.
In past years, estimated expenses have been included for various employee benefits. Because of the
District's April I fiscal year start date, and the pending status of union negotiations, exact contribution
rates are not known at this time, but will be brought back to the Board at a later time.

The District's general insurance costs (liability,property, auto,etc.)have been estimated for purposes of
this report. The overall insurance package will be presented at your March 22 meeting, and the actual
premium amounts will be included in the final budget report.
At this time,the proposed budget does not include funding for the potential management and operation of
Rancho San Antonio County Park in the operating budget. If negotiations are successful, and the Board
determines to undertake this project, staff will recommend a budget augmentation for Board review in
conjunction with any approval of the Rancho San Antonio County Park management agreement.
The proposed operating budget represents a 5.24%increase over the fiscal year 1999-2000 adopted budget.
This budget includes the proposed addition of five new full-time positions,the change from half-time to
two-thirds time for the Network Specialist,and a change from two-thirds time to full-time for the
Administrative Assistant/Human Resources position. The operating budget excludes expenses relating to
the Coastal Annexation($128,250).
Staffing Changes
Proposed in this year's budget are the addition of five new positions and minor changes to two existing
positions,as illustrated in the chart at the end of this narrative section. Detailed explanations by program
area,including justifications for the addition of new positions are as follows:
■ Planning Program
Propose to add Planner I position: The original draft 2000-2001 fiscal year budget included funding of
$31,500 for approximately half-time contract planner assistance on 13 projects and tasks. In comparison,
the current salary and benefit cost for the proposed additional Planner I position for 9 months is$35,765.
A full year would be$47,687. These additional salary and benefit costs would be significantly offset by
the reduction in ongoing contract planner costs,which have been deleted from the budget based on the
assumption that the additional position would be provided.
As an alternative to hiring permanent staff,the use of contract planners has several serious disadvantages
that have combined to prevent Planning from being able to initiate and coordinate contract planners
effectively on projects and to spend the full amounts budgeted.
■ Operations Program
Propose to add two(2)full-time Supervising Patrol Ranger positions, and two(2)full-time Lead Open
Space Technicians. Staff proposes the addition of two Supervising Rangers (Patrol)and two Lead Open
Space Technicians,for a total of four new positions in the 2000-2001 fiscal year. These additions were
discussed with the Administration and Budget Committee,and reviewed by the Board at your February 9,
2000,meeting,as part of the Operations Program Five Year Staffing Plan(see report R-00-24). These
additions are recommended to meet the needs of field staffs increasing workload,and to manage the
growing number of acres of land owned or managed by the District.
■ Administration Program
Propose to increase Administrative Assistant position from 60%to full-time: The Administrative
Assistant is a confidential position,integrally involved with all aspects of human resources, including
benefits administration,hiring,discipline,union negotiations,etc. With more recruitment and subsequent
demands on human resources,increased confidential and specialized support is needed. Increasing the
Administrative Assistant from two-thirds to full time will provide needed daily support and consistency in
administering the human resources program.
R-00-32 Page 3
Propose to increase Network Specialist position from half-time to 60%time: Daily routine maintenance
and troubleshooting of the District's computer hardware and software systems has been consuming
approximately 15-20 hours per week,at the main office alone. With the initiation of email capabilities at
the field offices in 1999-2000,there has been an increasing need to provide ongoing support to the field as
well. This, in addition to providing support for the District's network upgrade,will assume a greater role
in the overall administration and proactive adaptation of the District's computer resources. The minor
increase in the Network Specialist's hours will ensure that the technical and support needs of both the main
office and field offices are met.
A summary of the proposed staffing changes is shown below.

Target Average Six Percent Budget Growth Guideline for Operating;Expenses
The Board initially approved the target average 6%growth guideline for District operating expenses on
September 28, 1994(see report R 94-100). Operating expenses were defined to include salary and
benefits, services and supplies, and fixed assets. The cost of capital improvements relating to public access
and staff facilities were excluded from the operating expenses growth guideline. The guideline was
implemented during lean tax revenue years and designed to be a target average allowing,for example,one
year to be 5%and the next year to be 7%.
During the 1999-2000 budget review process,the Board reviewed and revised the 6%budget growth
guideline. The revised guideline generally reflects the original 1994 guideline,but better defines operating
expenses and special projects that may be considered outside of the guidelines. Under the revised 6%
budget growth guideline,operating expenses include salaries and benefits, services and supplies, and fixed
assets associated with the administration of the District's five programs. Expenditures for land acquisition,
capital improvements (including public access,field staff and administrative facilities),and special projects
are considered outside operating expenses. Special projects are non-routine large-scale projects that have a
cumulative expense of over$100,000,which may or may not result in major shifts to programs,or staff
increases. Examples include the coastal annexation study and recovery from a major natural disaster.
Since 1994,the only exclusion for special projects are those relating to coastal annexation;$378,165 was
excluded in the 1999-2000 adopted budget.
The 2000-2001 proposed operating budget is$6,331,120 and has been adjusted to exclude$128,250 for
annexation expenses. The adjusted operating budget is 5.4%over the 1999-2000 adopted operating budget
but does not,as yet, include adjustments for salaries and benefits. The Rancho San Antonio County Park
management expenses have been excluded from the operating budget because it is not known,at this time,
R-00-32 Page 4
whether or not the District will assume the management responsibility for the park. Although the expenses
would be offset by a one-time contribution by the County of Santa Clara to the District's general fund,the
annual expenses would be significant enough that consideration should be given to excluding them from the
operating budget or adjusting the 6%budget growth guideline upward. The guideline has been adjusted
upward on only one occasion in 1998-1999 when the resource management program was shifted from the
capital improvement program to the operating budget.
Increases in adjusted operating budgets and expenses,as compared with the guideline,are shown in the
following table:
FY 95-96 FY 96-97 FY 97-98 FY 98-99 FY 99-00 FY 00-01
Operating Budget >.9% >3.8% >10.3% >11% >7.4% >5.2%
Growth
Actual& >1.9% >4.1% >6.7% >11.5% >8.8% >4.7%
Projected
Expense Growth
Over the six-year period since the implementation of the 6%budget growth guideline,growth in the
operating budget has averaged 5.7%per year when compounded annually. Over the five-year period
ending in 1999-2000,growth in actual and projected expenses will also average 5.7%. A graph of the six-
year growth and additional two-year projections is shown in Attachment A.
Budget Review Process
The 2000 Administration and Budget Committee,composed of Directors Cyr(committee chair), Siemens,
and Davey,reviewed the proposed budget on the Board's behalf during a series of six open,publicly
noticed meetings in February. The committee work included reviewing the proposed Action Plan for each
program,the proposed 2000-2001 budget by program and category expense groupings(as well as by major
projects and activities),the 1999-2000 projected expenditures, and the 6%budget growth guideline for
District operating expenses. The committee members received for their review detailed sub-account
printouts for all the detail line items included in the proposed budgets.
Controller M. Foster met with the committee on February 25 to discuss projected revenues,debt service,
and a District cash flow analysis. The Controller's report will be presented to the Board separately at the
March 22 meeting. The Administration and Budget Committee will present their report to the Board at the
March 22 meeting.
Proposed Program Budgets
The following section on the 2000-2001 proposed budget is presented by program to facilitate your review.

the 1999-2000 adopted budget. Excluding debt service payments,the Acquisition Program budget is
$20,638,355. Controller M. Foster indicates that$20,000,000 would be available in 2000-2001 for
acquisition of land.
Salaries and benefits represent a 9.96%increase over the 1999-2000 adopted budget as a result of the first
full-year of funding for the Land Protection Specialist.
The Acquisition Program's emphasis during 2000-2001 is to continue focusing efforts on securing high
priority properties and completing several grant-funded acquisition projects. With the addition of the Land
Protection Subprogram,there is a 32%increase over the 1999-2000 adopted budget for services and
supplies to conduct engineering studies and environmental assessments. This subprogram focuses on the
protection of property rights of new and existing open space lands.
Fixed asset expenses directly related to land acquisition,such as appraisals, site engineering,escrow fees,
title insurance, and legal fees are budgeted at$125,000. This is a 26.7%decrease from the 1999-2000
budget,and reflects a reduction in legal fees. In addition,$12,000 is included in fixed asset expenses for
capital improvements to the Distel office building and$600 is provided for office equipment.
Improvements to the Distel office are not included in the operating budget.
Debt service payments are 9.6%above the 1999-2000 adopted budget,as a result of the two new note
issues during 1999. Debt service for principal repayment and interest on the District's land contracts and
note issues is budgeted at$6,078,811 for the 2000-2001 fiscal year. This amount includes the final
$25,000 installment of interest-free principal payment for the acquisition of the Urrere property in Sierra
Azul Open Space Preserve.
The 2000-2001 proposed budget for the Enterprise Subprogram is$111,775. The subprogram's proposed
budget is divided into two major areas: 1)ongoing regular enterprise activities,and 2)expenditures related
to the District's administrative office building. Funds budgeted for ongoing,regular enterprise activities
reflect a decrease of 5.2%below the adopted 1999-2000 budget.
Operating expenses for the office building are budgeted at$30,125 for the tenant space and will be handled
in a separate facilities account within the Enterprise Subprogram. Operating expenses for the portion of
the building occupied by the District are included in the Administration Program.
R-00-32 Page 6
In 1999-2000,projected net income from the District's enterprise properties is$626,230,an increase over
1998-1999 income of approximately 3.1%. Net income for fiscal year 2000-2001 is projected at
$683,000,a 9%increase as a result of leasing the Distel office space at current market rental rate,and the
new Bear Creek stables lease.

The 2000-2001 proposed Planning Program budget is$1,360,590 and represents a 21%decrease below the
1999-2000 adopted budget of$1,712,500. The proposed decrease is primarily due to decreases in services
and supplies and capital improvement projects.
The Planning Program's proposed operating budget for 2000-2001 is$765,440 and represents a 20%
decrease below the adopted 1999-2000 budget. Discounting the coastal annexation expenses of$361,665
for 1999-2000,which were exempted from the budget guideline as a special project,and$100,000 for
coastal annexation expenses in 2000-2001,the numbers represent an 11%increase over the adopted 1999-
2000 budget. The operating budget is comprised of salaries and benefits,services and supplies,and fixed
assets relating to office equipment. Two percent of the increase in the operating budget is due to the
proposed addition of an Open Space Planner I position,budgeted at 9 months of the fiscal year,or
$35,765. Background and justification for this additional position is provided later in this section of the
report.
Major planning projects involving significant consultant contracts make up a substantial part of the
services and supplies budget,and thus impact the operating budget. The Sierra Azul Area Plan is an
example. This project will serve as a pilot study for how to fully consider resources in preserve plans, in
accordance with the Resource Management Policies adopted in 1994. Environmental consultants are
currently working to collect the necessary baseline field data that will assist in the subsequent planning
process. This project is anticipated to require extensive Board committee discussion and public
participation,and continued planning consultant assistance. The estimated cost of consultant services in
FY 2000-2001 is$176,000. The second major project in this budget category is the Coastal Annexation
Study. Consultants are currently preparing the draft Service Plan, and getting ready to start the Fiscal
Impact Analysis and Environmental Document. The estimated cost of consultant services is$200,000.
Because there is a history of delays and under-expenditures on these and other large,complex planning
projects,these two projects are budgeted at 50%of the actual anticipated expenditures,or$88,000 and
$100,000, respectively.
As part of efforts to manage overall District budget growth, a budget guideline of$600,000 per year for
capital improvement projects(CIP)was introduced in 1994-1995. This cap was reduced to$500,000
beginning in 1998-1999 to account for the transfer of the resource management program from capital
improvements to the Operations Program operating budget. Grant income is considered above the
i
R-00-32 Page 7
$500,000 growth cap,allowing capital improvement budgets to exceed the cap by the amount of actual
development grant income. In October 1998,the Administration and Budget Committee reviewed the CIP
budget guideline for public access facilities,and agreed with staffthat the$500,000 guideline should be
adjusted from a 3-year average to a 5-year average,to distribute the impact of substantial short-term
fluctuations that ordinarily occur in the program. The 2000-2001 budget was prepared using this
methodology.
At the same time,the Committee reviewed a staff recommendation to establish a guideline for capital
improvements relating to field staff and administrative facilities. Prior to this,only public access facilities
were subject to a guideline. A guideline of$150,000 averaged over a 5-year period was established. This
budget was developed using this guideline. Attachment C outlines the guideline for the capital
improvement program,and shows the five-year figures for field staff and administrative facilities.
The 1999-2000 staff facility improvements budget of$135,000 included development of an employee
residence in the Mt. Umunhum area of Sierra Azul,and installation of a diesel fuel tank at the Skyline field
office. The diesel fuel tank installation is complete. The employee residence project was dropped when
staff secured a nearby rental residence that could serve the same purpose. The 2000-2001 staff facility
improvements budget of$105,000 includes projects to conduct a facilities study for the operations program
in the Foothills Area, structural improvements to the Annex at Rancho San Antonio,and engineering
studies to construct an employee residence at Bear Creek Redwoods. Budget for remodeling of the
Administrative offices is contained in the Administration budget
Attachment C shows the 5-year figures for capital improvement projects with the adjustments for
development grants and FEMA reimbursements. The 2000-2001 proposed CIP budget is$490,150.
Subtracting the projected development grant income of$35,000,and projected FEMA reimbursements of
$149,340,the adjusted CIP budget is$305,810. Averaged over a 5-year period,the CIP budget is
$392,752,which is 21%below the allowable guideline of$500,000. Projected grant income for 2000-
2001 is for additional El Corte de Madera Creek trail improvements and FEMA projects. Actual FEMA
reimbursements for 1999-2000 total$131,018.

- 00 projected CIP expenses are 531 720 or 14/o below the budgeted amo O $The 1999 2 0 o ected C S
P J l� � g
This projected under expenditure is due to cost savings on the Purisima Creek Road repair project and
several projects that did not move forward this fiscal year for a variety of reasons. The projects include the
design of parking for El Corte de Madera Creek,and repairs to Lawrence Creek bridge, also at El Corte de
Madera Creek Open Space Preserve.
Key CIP projects for 2000-2001 include additional FEMA repair projects at Purisima Creek Redwoods
and El Corte de Madera Creek,building demolitions and road and trail improvements at Bear Creek
Redwoods,and parking lot designs for El Corte de Madera and the Jacques Ridge area.of Sierra Azul Open
Space Preserve.
Justification for Additional Planning Staff
The need for an additional staff position in the Planning Program is based upon increased workload.
Several specific factors have caused workload to increase dramatically over the past few years:
■ Continued strong land acquisition efforts, including some lands with significant existing facilities and
public use that require intensive planning and management over several years.
R-00-32 Page S
■ Legal and land management issues related to encroachments and disputes about management
responsibility have dramatically increased.
■ Several serious storm events causing extensive damage to roads,trails and bridges,and a multi-year
backlog of major projects. The District has taken advantage of opportunities to obtain FEMA funding
to cover at least a part of the repair cost,but this has required a dramatic increase in staff time to
manage the grants and projects.
■ Increased efforts to create or update policy for land use and management have been needed due to
growing public use and recent District experience(ADA,resource management,dogs,rock climbing,
hang gliding,pigs,invasive vegetation,trail use, resource-based master planning and many internal
procedures).
■ Two new field offices have been planned and constructed,an expansion and remodel of the main office
space is currently underway,and many other staff facilities and infrastructure projects have been
completed or are underway.
■ The Coastal Annexation Study.
■ Specific public access planning and implementation has continued,but at a reduced rate due to the
above priorities. The projects that have been undertaken are almost exclusively based on grant
funding.
The District has always hired contract planners to help address excess workload until additional staff is
warranted and feasible. Contract planners are persons with general planning or design background,as
opposed to specialized planning or engineering consultants. They tend to be people who are looking for
either permanent employment or temporary,part-time employment. The District typically pays between
$30 and$50 per hour for contract planner services,compared to$75 to over$100 per hour for specialized
consultant services. Because of their mobility and temporary situation,contract planners are typically hard
to find and keep.
The budget for contract planners is carried in the individual project budgets or in budget categories for
unanticipated projects. The 1999-2000 fiscal year budget included funds for a half-time contract planner
to compensate for staff time on the Coastal Annexation project,and for help on several FEMA repair and
other construction projects.
The original draft 2000-2001 fiscal year budget included funding of$31,500 for approximately half-time
contract planner assistance on 13 projects and tasks. In comparison,the current salary and benefit cost for
the proposed additional Planner I position for 9 months is$35,765. A full year would be$47,687. These
P Po 1� Y
additional salary and benefit costs would be significantly offset by the reduction in ongoing contract
planner costs,which have been deleted from the budget based on the assumption that the additional position
would be provided.
As an alternative to hiring permanent staff,the use of contract planners has several serious disadvantages:
■ Contract planners have often been unavailable at the times or to the extent needed,and have sometimes
terminated the relationship,leaving the District with no alternative but to hire expensive consultants to
do the work.
R-00-32 Page 9
■ The District makes an investment in orienting these persons about the District in general,and on
specific projects and procedures,but often does not benefit from a long-term relationship.
■ IRS regulations preclude having these persons work regularly on site or in the role of staff,and it has
been very difficult to coordinate with contract planners on complex,changing projects when they
cannot be present in the office on an ongoing basis.
■ Since they are not employees,contract planners cannot do many necessary tasks,such as
communicating to the public about the District,reviewing or authorizing expenditures,or preparing
official letters or reports.
The above factors have combined to prevent Planning from being able to initiate and coordinate contract
planners effectively on projects and to spend the full amounts budgeted.
Overall,workload and economics indicate that the District would be better served by adding an additional
Planner I position than by continuing to rely so heavily on contract planning services,given the current
demonstrated need for a full-time staff member.

TOTAL S3,267,850 S3,233,774 S3,456,500
The 2000-2001 proposed budget for the Operations Program is$3,456,500. The addition of two Lead
Open Space Technicians and two Supervising Ranger(Patrol)positions accounts for the greatest
percentage of growth in the Operations budget. Priorities for the 2000-2001 proposed budget include the
continued growth of the Operations Program to address the acquisition of new lands and increased public
use of existing lands. Growth of the Resource Management Program continues to out-pace the balance of
the Operations Program.
At this time,the 2000-2001 proposed budget does not include funding for the management and operation of
Rancho San Antonio County Park in the operating budget. If negotiations are successful,staff will
recommend a budget augmentation for Board review in conjunction with any approval of a Rancho San
Antonio County Park management agreement. The 2000-2001 proposed budget does include continued
funding for Deer Hollow Farm. However,approval of an agreement with Santa Clara County for Rancho
San Antonio would necessitate additional funding for Deer Hollow Farm on the County's behalf.
The 2000-2001 proposed salaries and benefits budget is$2,424,550,a 2.7%increase over the 1999-2000
adopted budget. Two new Lead Open Space Technician positions and two new Supervising Ranger
positions are funded for nine months of the fiscal year to allow for a three-month recruiting and hiring
period. The addition of these positions was discussed in the Operations Staffing Plan,which was approved
by the Board at your February 9,2000 meeting(see report R-00-24). Vacancies created by promotions to
higher classifications may result in a more modest growth in salary and benefits than anticipated this year.
I
R-00-32 Page 10
The 2000-2001 proposed services and supplies budget is$820,450. This is 15.1%over the 1999-2000
adopted budget(7.5%over the projected expenses for 1999-2000). Substantial increases in fuel prices and
legal fees accounted for a significant portion of the over-expenditures for last year. Increases in road and
trail repairs to mitigate storm damage,the five—year replacement of body armor for rangers,and increased
uniform,equipment and training costs for new staff account for a significant portion of the growth in the
services and supplies budget.
The Resource Management project budget is$106,000(a 6.6%increase over 1999-2000),which is
included in the services and supplies budget. This budget funds numerous projects as described in the
resource management action plan. The most significant of these is the fourth year of the Russian Ridge
grassland management plan($41,000),and a continuation of the habitat restoration work being done at
Pulgas Ridge($26,000). The wild pig control program is budgeted for$20,000. However,actual
implementation of a wild pig control program will require Board approval of a Memorandum of
Understanding with Fish and Game,as well as a contract with a professional trapper.
The 2000-20001 proposed fixed assets budget is$211,500, an 8.6%increase over the 1999-2000 adopted
budget. The proposed budget is consistent with the five-year capital equipment schedule shown in
Attachment D. Four patrol trucks, (two additions and two replacements)account for$115,500. The
proposed budget also includes a$73,000 cost for a replacement for the 1989 Heston road-brushing tractor,
and attachments. Additional expenses include$8,500 for the completion of an upgrade of handheld radios.

The Y
fiscal year 2000-2001 Public Affairs Program budget shows a .10 %decrease from the
proposed
1999-2000 fiscal year adopted budget. While certain accounts are proposed for increases(such as
purchases of computer equipment in fixed assets),the overall decrease is accomplished through smaller
reductions in other accounts,while the program continues to be funded at an aggressive level.
Salaries and benefits are 10.46%less than 1999-2000 budget amounts,accounted for by the projected
vacancy of the Public Affairs Manager and Visitor Services Supervisor positions in the early part of the
2000-2001 fiscal year.
Public Affairs'total proposed budget includes approximately$28,250 in expenses related to the coastal
annexation project. These expenses are for development of informational materials and are not included in
the operating budget.
The proposed services and supplies budget includes general services and supplies,publications, special
projects,and visitor services. There is an increase of 5.90%over last year's budget,which includes
$10,000 for visitor map reprints and printing cost increases, $2,900 for new indoor tabletop display boards
and new table, and$2,250 for promotional products to distribute at events and displays.
R 00-32 Page 11
It is proposed that$8,400 be budgeted in the 2000-2001 Public Affairs Program fixed assets budget for
purchase of a new computer system, and a laptop and computer projector for use District-wide.

Special Projects&Office Facilities $65,000 $35,000 1 90,000
TOTAL $1067,700 $1 022 150 1 S1,169,8001
The 2000-2001 proposed Administration Program budget represents a 9.56%increase over the 1999-2000
adopted budget. While there are minor changes proposed to staffing,the increase is primarily a result of
the cost of capital improvements to the 330 Distel office facilities,and the addition of election year
expenses.
The salaries and benefits category includes your board appointees'salaries, currently budgeted at$192,200.
Salaries for members of the Administration Program staff are shown at $366,850. Also in the salary and
benefits category is$30,000 for Directors' compensation. We are considering elimination of the exemplary
service awards program for office,supervisory,and management staff due to declining participation,
thereby reducing the budget by$25,000.
As the service center for most District operational and administrative activities,the services and supplies
budget of$296,150 includes funding for such basic items as: Postage($16,000),
Telephone($203,500),Auditor($14,000), Office Equipment Leases($22,000),and Utilities and
Maintenance($33,000). To offset the possible elimination of the exemplary service program,we are
recommending adding$4,000 to enhance the annual staff recognition event.
This category also includes election expense calculated at$28,000(assuming only one of three wards will
require an election),$14,000 for technology consultant and software/hardware expenditures to upgrade the
District's network operating system, and$15,000 for personnel consultant to fulfill recommendations in the
Operations Program Review for morale assessment. These one-time expenses account for the bulk of the
24.28%increase in this category from the 1999-2000 budget.
Operating expenses for the administrative office building have increased to 80%(rather than 50%)of
shared expenses due to office expansion.
Proposed in this year's budget is a total of$5,100 for Board member attendance at conferences and
seminars, as outlined in Attachment E,Proposed Budget Guidelines for Board Conference Attendance.
The fixed assets category,which includes new and replacement equipment and furniture,is increased
45.59%over the 1999-2000 budget. Improvements to structures include$75,000 for office expansion.
This includes$12,000 for roof repair at Distel Circle,$13,500 for furniture and built-ins during office
remodel, and$6,300 for computer equipment and network server upgrade. The operating budget excludes
$90,000 in capital improvements expenses for the Distel administrative office.

Proposed Budget Guidelines for Board Conference Attendance
Objective: It is important that Board members are afforded the opportunity to keep
current on Legislation, policies, practices and other matters pertinent to District
business. Therefore, a modest amount of money should be budgeted each fiscal
year for Board attendance at conferences and seminars directly related to open
space preservation and management of parks and open space agencies.
1 . Each fiscal year, a total of $5,100 will be budgeted for Board member
attendance at conferences and seminars directly related to open space
preservation and/or administration of parks and open space organizations, to be
allocated as follows:
A. Out-of-Area/State: $3,000 total to provide for 2 conferences at an estimated
amount of $1,500 each.
B. Local: $300 per Board member, or $2,100 per year.
2. Attendance at out-of-area/state conferences will be assigned as follows: one
conference for the President, or his/her designee, to attend the annual Special
Parks Districts Forum; and one California Special District Association training for
a newly elected Board member, or a Board-approved and Board-assigned
conference for an alternate member in the event there is no newly elected
member that year.
3. Each Board member may elect to attend appropriate local conferences or
seminars related to District business up to his/her annual budgeted allowance
without further Board approval. Attendance at such a conference or seminar
will be reported to the Board in advance of attendance, and a summary report of
the conference itself will be reported following attendance.

were also reported in the preserve on Feb. 3.
Jan 2 A Portola Heights resident reported hearing firearms discharged in Long Ridge OSP near Peters Creek and
Portola Heights Road. A San Mateo Sheriff's deputy and three rangers checked the area but were unable to
locate any suspects. B. Downing, D. Danielson.
Jan. 2 Two hikers called on a cell phone to report that they had become lost in Monte Bello OSP at nightfall. Their
exact location was not given and phone contact was lost. A search was conducted and the hikers were
eventually located at a private residence on Montebello Road. L. Paterson, B. Downing, D. Danielson.
I Jan. 4 T. Randall responded to a report of a vehicle fire on Mt. Umunhum Road in Sierra Azul OSP. CDF
extinguished the fire and determined that a body was present. T. Randall provided crime scene security and
traffic control until Santa Clara County Sheriff's deputies responded. The case is being investigated as a
suicide.
Jan. 5 A man believed to be responsible for illegal trail construction was contacted by a ranger at the site of the
construction in La Honda Creek OSP. He initially denied constructing the trail. The next day he e-mailed the
office, stating he was responsible. The person was written a letter of admonishment and issued a written
warning. W. Phillips, B. Malone, D. Sanguinetti.
Jan. 8 Staff has received several reports of subjects using paintball guns while playing war games in the drainage
below the dam at Thornewood OSP. Rangers have increased patrol of this area.

Jan. 29 An organized group of about seventy people participated in an unauthorized running event that staged in
Huddart County Park and entered Teague Hill OSP. The event combined running with the consumption of
alcoholic beverages. The group's motto is "a drinking club with a running problem." The primary organizer
was issued a citation for littering (with flour) and failure to obtain a permit. D. Danielson, L. Paterson.
Jan. 29 A man was observed working on his car near a District gate in Sierra Azul OSP, who said the car broke down
right after buying it from the neighbor. He said he needed to find his girlfriend, and then left District property

Dear Mr. Pugh:
This letter is in response to your request to Board member Betsy Crowder for an after-hours
permit ride on Windy Hill Open Space Preserve. Ms. Crowder asked that I respond to your
request.
As you may recall, you were granted a one-time permit for your event last year. In a letter dated
June 25, 1999 (attached) you were notified of this, and informed that you would need to plan
future equestrian events to ensure that your event finishes by the regular closing time for the
preserves, in compliance with District regulations.
Official sunset on Friday June 16, 2000 is at 8:30 PM. If you wish to plan an event that would
end by 9:00 PM, then please complete the attached permit request form, and return it to my
attention.
Sincerely,
Gordon C. Baillie

Dear Betsy,
Thank you for your assistance last year with getting a permit for our
Moonlight Ride on Windy Hill. We had 19 riders that represented a
variety of equestrian organizations including San Mateo County
Volunteer Horse Patrol, Los Viajeros, Los Altos Hounds, Menlo Polo
and San Mateo County Horseman's Association. The trip to the top
was easy. Behind us the last rays of sunlight shone on Silicon Valley
below. We watched as the fog slowly crept up from the ocean as we
ate dinner. The sun set, the fog enveloped us, and a chill wind started
blowing. A few minutes after leaving the top, we emerged from the fog
bank, and the moon shone bright in the starlit sky. Before us was a
beautiful vista of the Bay area below with thousands of twinkling lights.
Everyone had a great time and appreciated the opportunity to enjoy
the district property.
I would like to arrange a permit for a Moonlight ride on Windy Hill,
this year on Friday, June 16'. Moonrise is at 8:31 PM and it will be a
99.9% full moon. We will ride out of Portola Valley at 6: 15, have a
cate
red dinn
er in the parking lot, return to Portola Valley, and be off
the Preserve by 10:00 PM. We agree to the Permit conditions of last
year. Please let me know who to contact for this.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,

Re: Plain English Marketing Award
Dear Craig:
As you know, we were privileged to serve as Stone & Youngberg's counsel in preparing the
first cover-to-cover plain English official statement for the District's financing last August. Because it
was so well received, we reprinted it at our expense in order to satisfy the unexpected nationwide de-
mand for copies.
We also decided to publish a full-color brochure about how it was done. .We have distributed
the brochure at industry gatherings, including the California Public Finance Conference held in San
Francisco last September and the Health Care Finance Conference held in New York last November.
As mementos of each conference, we also designed and distributed cocoa mugs and private-label cocoa
mix using a phonetic "plain English disclosure" logo which we have registered with the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office and are distributing this week at the Florida Public Finance Conference.
The brochure, sadly, is now out of print, but we are working on a new brochure for national
distribution. Together with the cocoa mugs and mix, these comprised our campaign to spread the word
about plain English disclosure. On March 16, 2000, at a ceremony in Palm Springs, the national Legal
Marketing Association (see www.legalmarketing.m g) will present us with an award for best law firm
marketing campaign of 1999!
We are gratified that it all started here with the District, and we are amazed at the impact of
plain English disclosure, coast-to-coast. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve on the District's
financings.
Very truly yours,
Edsell M. Eady, Jr.

Summary of the Conservation and Reinvestment Act (CARA), H.R. 701
(See Reverse Side for State Funding Estimates)
This year, Congress has a unique opportunity to invest more than $2.8 billion from offshore oil and gas revenues for
parks, wildlife, coastal impact and restoration programs, as well as a variety of other conservation programs. The
bipartisan Conservation and Reinvestment Act (CARA, H.R. 701), which passed the House Resources Committee in
1999, represents the best opportunity to achieve significant and permanent conservation funding in this Congress. Like
most legislation, this bill could be strengthened, and conservation leaders will be working to ensure that the bill is
environmentally sound. CARA funds the following programs:
Title I Impact Assistance and Coastal Conservation 1 billion
P $
Title II land and Water Conservation Fund $900 million
Title III Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Fund $350 million
Title IV Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Program $125 million
Title V Historic Preservation Fund $100 million
Title VI Federal and Indian lands Restoration $200 million
Title VII Conservation Easements and Species Recovery $150 million
Title VIII Payment-in lieu-of-Taxes $200 million
Impact Assistance and Coastal Conservation: This provision provides funding to states and territories,
including Great Lake states, for coastal/marine conservation efforts: states that have OCS development
would also receive "impact assistance" funding to mitigate the harmful impacts of drilling activities.
Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF): Since its enactment in 1964, LWCF has been responsible for
the acquisition of nearly seven million acres of protected land and open space, and the development of
more than 37, 000 state and local parks and recreation areas. CARA equally apportions the LWCF fund.
with $450 million distributed to federal lands and $450 million distributed to states in matching grants.
�. Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Fund: Sometimes referred to as "Teaming with Wildlife,'' the Wildlife
,.
Conservation and Restoration Fund gives state fish and wildlife agencies funding for game and non-game
species, but without the excise tax. Interest generated under this provision will provide funding to the North
American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA).
.� Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Program (UPARR): UPARR authorizes matching grants for recreation
' I !: projects in economically distressed urban communities. Whether it's funding a new big city park.
' revitalizing a 19th Century landmark, or creating an urban soccer or baseball field, UPARR has been
integral to a healthy and safe urban community life. From 1978-1995, UPARR awarded almost $228 million
`'' for 1,300 grants to 400 local jurisdictions in 42 states
Historic Preservation Fund (HPF): The HPF provides matching grants to encourage private and non-federal
investment in historic preservation efforts nationwide, and assists state and local governments. Indian
tribes, among others, expanding and accelerating their historic preservation activities nationwide. HPF
grants serve as a catalyst and "seed money" for preserving and protecting our nation's irreplaceable
heritage for this and future generations. Since 1968, more than $800 million in grant funds has been
awarded.
Federal and Indian lands Restoration: This provision provides for a coordinated program on federal and
Indian lands to restore degraded lands, protect resources threatened with degradation, and protect
public health.
Conservation Easements and Species Recovery: This provision provides annual and dedicated funding for
conservation easements and funding for landowner incentives to aid in the recovery of endangered and
threatened species.
Payment In Lieu of Taxes: Interest generated from CARA would match the annual congressional
appropriations for the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) Program, with a $200 million limit, PILT helps
communities offset the loss of revenue when open space is placed in community stewardship.

What You Can Do Now: When you visit your Congressional Delegation, urge them to keep up the
momentum to bring CARA to the House Floor for a VOTE by calling upon them to:
• Urge House Leadership for a Vote Now
• Deliver "One Minute" floor statements calling for a CARA vote
• Join you for LWCF press conferences and site visits
• Talk to editorial boards in their Congressional Districts
• Write Opinion Editorials
• Seek improvements in the legislation
And, don't forget to thank those Members of Congress who cosponsored H.R. 701!
What You Can Do When You Get Home - 4 Easy Things!
a, 1. Utilize Your Friends and Allies
w j The most important method for strengthening the LWCF campaign at the local level is to organize
champions to serve as ambassadors. Whether working with elected officials, newspaper editors,
or the public-at-large, a well-organized network of community leaders creates a power base that
effectively can be used to carry out the goals of the campaign.
A Few Tips: * Use your connections with community VIPs who can make a difference in
advocating for LWCF * Create a diverse network of allies * Communicate with VIPs on a
regular basis.
2. Get Your Member of Congress to Deliver "One Minute Floor Statements"
Call your Member of Congress (U.S. Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121) and ask them to deliver
"One Minute Floor Statements" in support of getting a floor vote for the Conservation and
_ Reinvestment Act (CARA, H.R. 701). The more Members who stand up on the House floor asking
for a vote on CARA, the more momentum we will have in revitalizing LWCF.
A Few Tips: * When you call your Member's office, ask for the aide working on LWCF (or the
environmental aide.) * Explain your purpose and whom you represent.
3. Organize a Site Tour
Our greatest asset in the campaign to revitalize the Land and Water Conservation Fund is the
legacy of successful projects and partnerships that LWCF has made possible. One of the best
ways to further the cause is to get your representative or senator out of the office and into a park,
playground, wildlife refuge, trail or other place that has benefited from LWCF.
A Few Tips: * Use the opportunity as a media hook. * Include a diverse group of local activists
and site users in the event. * Pick a rain date.
4. Set an Editorial Board Meeting with Your Local Newspaper
Editorials educate the newspaper's readers on important topics of the day, shape public
attitudes, make or break electoral candidates, and affect key policy decisions at the local, state,
and national levels. Meeting with your local editorial board is an important strategy in any
campaign. Providing your editorial writers with information on the Land and Water Conservation
tt Fund will help those in your community learn about this important program.
A Few Tips: # Write a letter asking for an appointment and always make a follow-up call. #
Always organize a group of LWCF activists, but keep your group small. * Meet with your group
before hand to decide who will say what. * Remember the purpose of the meeting is to provide
the editorial writer with information about your issue. * Take fact sheets and other supporting
documents.
Land and Water Conservation Fund: Keep the Promise Now!
Why the Promise Must be Kept: In 1964, Congress made a promise to the American people by
creating the land and Water Conservation Fund, a visionary program, that reinvests offshore oil and gas
revenues to create parks and protect America's natural heritage. LWCF has been an American success story,
responsible for the acquisition of nearly seven million acres of parkland and open space and the development
of more than 37,000 state parks and recreation projects. But, over the years, the LWCF promised was broken
with LWCF funds diverted for non-conservation and recreation purposes. Now, its time for Congress to keep its
promise and make LWCF a permanent part of the American landscape. Here's why:
I
• Combined estimates from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, U.S.
Forest Service, and Bureau of Land Management total a $10-12 billion backlog.
• Sprawl and the loss of open space have become a primary concern for our
communities.
• Outdoor recreation represents one of the most vigorous growth areas in the U.S.
* , economy, with public lands supporting much of this recreation.
• The enormous popularity of soccer and other youth sports has created an
unprecedented-and unmet --demand for new playing fields.
I
Why NOW? This year Congress has a unique opportunity to invest more than $2.8 billion from offshore oil
and gas revenues for parks, wildlife, coastal impact and restoration programs, as well as a variety of other
conservation programs, through the bipartisan Conservation and Reinvestment Act (CARA, H.R. 701), which
passed the House Resources Committee in 1999, and now enjoys the support of 302 cosponsors - or two-thirds
of the House of Representatives. In addition, President Clinton has proposed a similar permanent investment in
conservation funding through his Lands Legacy Initiative.
Americans for Our Heritage and Recreation (AHR) is a national organization of conservation and civic leaders,
park and recreation directors, outdoor recreation enthusiasts, and the sporting goods industry committed to full
and permanent funding for LWCF. Along with our nation's governors, mayors, and grassroots organizations
nationwide. AHR believes that CARA represents the best vehicle to achieving a revitalized LWCF.
What's In CARA? House Resources Committee Chairman Don Young (R-AK), the committee's ranking
member, Representative George Miller (D-CA), and the bipartisan group of 302 Members of Congress who
cosponsored H.R 701 are to be commended for their leadership. In addition to the unprecedented funding for
wildlife, conservation easements, historic preservation, coastal assistance, and other conservation programs.
CARA incorporates the tradition of LWCF by providing on an annual basis:
• Full funding for LWCF at its authorized $900 million level .
• Equitable allocation of funds between the federal and state programs, with $450 million for 0g"�, =,
. x xa• z..��;
federal LWCF and $450 for state matching grants '
• Traditional use of stateside funds for recreation enhancement
• Revived Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Program (UPARR) funded at$125 million
What's Not? In advancing this bill, CARA can be improved by:
Providing that the full$450 million in federal LWCF funding will be spent each year
i0 Recognizing the need to protect regional lands of national significance
• Recognizing that LWCF matching grants should not supplant state general funds, if states can adequately
match the LWCF grant, they should not be penalized by fluctuating annual budgets
• Ensuring that the Department of the Interior has adequate funding to manage LWCF
The clock is ticking . . . Right now, we have a unique opportunity to make the Land and Water Conservation
Fund the true and permanent fund that its makers intended. But time is of the essence. If H.R. 701 is to
advance this year, it must be voted on by the full House of Representatives this spring. It's up to you.

Summary of the Conservation and Reinvestment Act (CARA), H.R. 701
(See Reverse Side for State Funding Estimates)
This year, Congress has a unique opportunity to invest more than $2.8 billion from offshore oil and gas revenues for
parks, wildlife, coastal impact and restoration programs, as well as a variety of other conservation programs. The
bipartisan Conservation and Reinvestment Act (CARA, H.R. 701), which passed the House Resources Committee in
1999, represents the best opportunity to achieve significant and permanent conservation funding in this Congress. Like
most legislation, this bill could be strengthened, and conservation leaders will be working to ensure that the bill is
environmentally sound. CARA funds the following programs:
Title I Impact Assistance and Coastal Conservation $1 billion
Title II land and Water Conservation Fund $900 million
Title III Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Fund $350 million
Title IV Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Program $125 million
Title V Historic Preservation Fund $100 million
Title VI Federal and Indian Lands Restoration $200 million
Title VII Conservation Easements and Species Recovery $150 million
Title VIII Payment-in lieu-of-Taxes $200 million
Impact Assistance and Coastal Conservation: This provision provides funding to states and territories,
including Great Lake states, for coastal/marine conservation efforts; states that have OCS development
would also receive "impact assistance" funding to mitigate the harmful impacts of drilling activities.
Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF): Since its enactment in 1964, LWCF has been responsible for
the acquisition of nearly seven million acres of protected land and open space, and the development of
more than 37, 000 state and local parks and recreation areas. CARA equally apportions the LWCF fund,
with $450 million distributed to federal lands and $450 million distributed to states in matching grants.
5,_ ,
. Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Fund: Sometimes referred to as "Teaming with Wildlife," the Wildlife
Conservation and Restoration Fund gives state fish and wildlife agencies funding for game and non-game
;., species, but without the excise tax. Interest generated under this provision will provide funding to the North
American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA).
Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Program (UPARR): UPARR authorizes matching grants for recreation
projects in economically distressed urban communities. Whether it's funding a new big city park,
revitalizing a 19th Century landmark, or creating on urban soccer or baseball field, UPARR has been
4 integral to a healthy and safe urban community life. From 1978-1995, UPARR awarded almost $228 million
for 1,300 grants to 400 local jurisdictions in 42 states
Historic Preservation • T F -
e rvation Fund (HPF). he HP provides matching grants to encourage private and non-federal
investment in historic preservation efforts nationwide, and assists state and local governments, Indian
tribes, among others, expanding and accelerating their historic preservation activities nationwide. HPF
grants serve as a catalyst and ''seed money"for preserving and protecting our nation's irreplaceable
heritage for this and future generations. Since 1968, more than $800 million in grant funds has been
awarded.
Federal and Indian lands Restoration: This provision provides for a coordinated program on federal and
Indian lands to restore degraded lands, protect resources threatened with degradation, and protect
public health.
Conservation Easements and Species Recovery: This provision provides annual and dedicated funding for
conservation easements and funding for landowner incentives to aid in the recovery of endangered and
threatened species.
I
Payment In lieu of Taxes: Interest generated from CARA would match the annual congressional
appropriations for the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) Program, with a $200 million limit. PILT helps

Land and Water Conservation Fund: Keep the Promise Now!
Why the Promise Must be Kept: In 1964, Congress made a promise to the American people by
creating the land and Water Conservation Fund, a visionary program, that reinvests offshore oil and gas
revenues to create parks and protect America's natural heritage. LWCF has been an American success story,
responsible for the acquisition of nearly seven million acres of parkland and open space and the development
of more than 37,000 state parks and recreation projects. But, over the years, the LWCF promised was broken
with LWCF funds diverted for non-conservation and recreation purposes. Now, its time for Congress to keep its
promise and make LWCF a permanent part of the American landscape. Here's why:
• Combined estimates from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, U.S.
Forest Service, and Bureau of Land Management total a $10-12 billion backlog.
• Sprawl and the loss of open space have become a primary concern for our
communities.
• Outdoor recreation represents one of the most vigorous growth areas in the U.S.
* ; economy, with public lands supporting much of this recreation.
• The enormous popularity of soccer and other youth sports has created an
unprecedented-and unmet -- demand for new playing fields.
Why NOW? This year Congress has a unique opportunity to invest more than $2.8 billion from offshore oil
and gas revenues for parks, wildlife, coastal impact and restoration programs, as well as a variety of other
conservation programs, through the bipartisan Conservation and Reinvestment Act (CARA, H.R. 701), which
passed the House Resources Committee in 1999, and now enjoys the support of 302 cosponsors - or two-thirds
of the House of Representatives. In addition, President Clinton has proposed a similar permanent investment in
conservation funding through his Lands Legacy Initiative.
Americans for Our Heritage and Recreation (AHR) is a national organization of conservation and civic leaders,
park and recreation directors, outdoor recreation enthusiasts, and the sporting goods industry committed to full
and permanent funding for LWCF. Along with our nation's governors, mayors, and grassroots organizations
nationwide, AHR believes that CARA represents the best vehicle to achieving a revitalized LWCF.
What's In CARA? House Resources Committee Chairman Don Young (R-AK), the committee's ranking
member. Representative George Miller (D-CA), and the bipartisan group of 302 Members of Congress who
cosponsored H.R 701 are to be commended for their leadership. In addition to the unprecedented funding for
wildlife, conservation easements, historic preservation, coastal assistance, and other conservation programs,
CARA incorporates the tradition of LWCF by providing on an annual basis:
• Full funding for LWCF at its authorized $900 million level
• Equitable allocation of funds between the federal and state programs, with $450 million for '=
federal LWCF and $450 for state matching grants
• Traditional use of stateside funds for recreation enhancement
• Revived Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Program (UPARR) funded at $125 million ;
What's Not? In advancing this bill, CARA can be improved by:
• Providing that the full $450 million in federal LWCF funding will be spent each year
Recognizing the need to protect regional lands of national significance
• Recognizing that LWCF matching grants should not supplant state general funds, if states can adequately
match the LWCF grant, they should not be penalized by fluctuating annual budgets
• Ensuring that the Department of the Interior has adequate funding to manage LWCF
The clock is ticking . . . Right now, we have a unique opportunity to make the Land and Water Conservation
Fund the true and permanent fund that its makers intended. But time is of the essence. If H.R. 701 is to
advance this year, it must be voted on by the full House of Representatives this spring. It's up to you.

What You Can Do Now: When you visit your Congressional Delegation, urge them to keep up the
momentum to bring CARA to the House Floor for a VOTE by calling upon them to:
• Urge House Leadership for a Vote Now
• Deliver "One Minute" floor statements calling for a CARA vote
• Join you for LWCF press conferences and site visits
• Talk to editorial boards in their Congressional Districts
! Write Opinion Editorials
Seek improvements in the legislation
And, don't forget to thank those Members of Congress who cosponsored H.R. 701!
What You Can Do When You Get Home - 4 Easy Things!
I. Utilize Your Friends and Allies
The most important method for strengthening the LWCF campaign at the local level is to organize
champions to serve as ambassadors. Whether working with elected officials, newspaper editors,
or the public-at-large, a well-organized network of community leaders creates a power base that
effectively can be used to carry out the goals of the campaign.
A Few Tips: * Use your connections with community VIPs who can make a difference in
advocating for LWCF * Create a diverse network of allies * Communicate with VIPs on a
regular basis.
2. Get Your Member of Congress to Deliver "One Minute Floor Statements"
Call your Member of Congress (U.S. Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121) and ask them to deliver
''One Minute Floor Statements" in support of getting a floor vote for the Conservation and
Reinvestment Act (CARA, H.R. 701). The more Members who stand up on the House floor asking
for a vote on CARA, the more momentum we will have in revitalizing LWCF.
A Few Tips: * When you call your Member's office, ask for the aide working on LWCF (or the
environmental aide.) * Explain your purpose and whom you represent.
3. Organize a Site Tour
Our greatest asset in the campaign to revitalize the Land and Water Conservation Fund is the
legacy of successful projects and partnerships that LWCF has made possible. One of the best
ways to further the cause is to get your representative or senator out of the office and into a park,
playground, wildlife refuge, trail or other place that has benefited from LWCF.
A Few Tips: * Use the opportunity as a media hook. * Include a diverse group of local activists
and site users in the event. * Pick a rain date.
4. Set an Editorial Board Meeting with Your Local Newspaper
Editorials educate the newspaper's readers on important topics of the day, shape public
attitudes, make or break electoral candidates, and affect key policy decisions at the local, state,
f and national levels. Meeting with your local editorial board is an important strategy in any
campaign. Providing your editorial writers with information on the Land and Water Conservation
' 14 ( Fund will help those in your community learn about this important program.
\ �
A Few Tips: * Write a letter asking for an appointment and always make afollow-up call. *
Always organize a group of LWCF activists, but keep your group small. * Meet with your group
Y before hand to decide who will say what. * Remember the purpose of the meeting is to provide
the editorial writer with information about your issue. * Take fact sheets and other supporting
documents.

Castle Rock State Pat,— reliminary General Plan Addendum #,- March 2000
Castle Rock State Park is a place of outstanding scenic beauty
possessing the vestigial wilderness dualities of the Santa Cruz
Mountains, linked through biocorridors with other remnant natural
ecosystems of the region. A management philosophy of protecting
wildness guides visitors through the scenic vistas, interesting
vegetation, and unique landforms.
The park lands and adj
acent open space appear as interconnected
wildlands recovering from previous human use. The visitor's quest
for open space and solitude are met through an integrated system
of trails and protected natural areas. Encounters with the most
significant park values intensity as visitors penetrate deeper into
these forested canyons. An environmental ethic guides responsible
behavior and minimizes visitor impacts on the natural systems.
There is a heightened awareness of the significance and sensitivity
of park resources and the effect recreation may have on the health
of the ecosystem, with recognition to preserve this area for future
.generations.
Page 59, Par. 1: Resource management program development and
implementation is contingent upon the availability of funding. The Department
should continue efforts to secure funding necessary for the success of this and
other unitwide management programs.

preserve, and interpret significant resources, and promote natural processes.
Sensitive plant communities, wildlife habitats, and geologic features will receive
special protection. Visitor use will be carefully monitored and managed on a few
trails through the natural preserve. These selective trails will be designed for
access with the least impacts, allowing visitors an opportunity to experience the
wildness and serenity of the park, without disturbing critical habitats.

springs are equally fragile, supporting a tall grass meadow and stands of willow,
bay, and hazelnut. This is the only place of occurrence of this rare and fragile
feature in Santa Cruz County.
Goal: Maintain, protect and perpetuate the Travertine Springs area of Castle
Rock State Park.
Guideline: The Department should develop and implement a specific area plan
that provides for the protection and preservation of the Travertine Springs
features occurring in the park.
Page 86, Insert after Goal:
Partridge Farm Area Land Use Management and Development
The management intent is that the Partridge Farm Area provide the primary
access contact and orientation for visitors to Castle Rock State Park. For most
visitors, this entrance area will serve as the main trailhead parking and
transitional zone between the park's wildland areas and the urbanized setting
from which they come. Management will establish a new park headquarters area
on this site that provides basic visitor services and information, with programs
stressing park values and recreational opportunities. The open-air interpretive
shelter will exhibit known natural and cultural features, and occasionally serve as
an outdoor classroom.
_ New facilities will be esthetically designed to blend
with their surroundings and respect the environment and its preservation. The
entry experience for visitors to Castle Rock State Park, through Partridge Farm,
will prepare visitors for a wildlands experience they will get when entering the trail
system beyond.
Page 5 of 11
Castle Rock State Pai,. . reliminary General Plan Addendum March 2000
Future management and use of the Partridge Farm Area will be guided through
proper site planning and on-going evaluation of resource conditions, as well as
understanding visitor and operational needs. The introduction of public access
and use to this site will transform some of the current open space to developed
parking, buildings, and outdoor use areas. However, the predominance of open
space will be preserved and native vegetation reestablished to provide wildlife
habitat and serve as a buffer between facilities and surrounding natural areas.
Visitors can be oriented to the appropriate use areas and informed about the
resource values and park rules and regulations. The Department will focus on
mitigating visitor impacts in sensitive resource areas, establishing the initial
public contact and operating functions, and improving access for people with
disabilities.
An overall site plan will be prepared for the Partridge Farm Area, reflecting a
phased approach to future development (see guidelines). This proposed change
in land use will involve the design and construction of parking lots and entrance
road in areas previously developed before the land became a state park. The
design process will integrate facilities and vehicle and pedestrian circulation into
the site with the least impacts on resources and surrounding activities. This site
transformation and changes in the patterns of use will occur incrementally. The
first phase of new parking at Partridge Farm will be managed for the primary
visitor access and use of the Castle Rock Ridge area. Initially, any spaces
retained in the -main parking lot could serve as a secondary
access for trail use. Roadside parking will be removed along the highway
outside both of these parking areas. The Partridge area parking will serve first
time visitors and others coming to the park headquarters office, as well as for
special events. Visitors will be directed to trailheads and designated perimeter
parking areas, depending on their interests and need for visitor services.
Ultimately, the goal is for Partridge to become the primary entrance and day use
parking area, where visitor use can be effectively managed and resources
protected.
Page 86, Guideline 1, fourth sentence: Day use parking, including overnight
parking for trail camps, and visitor facilities should be provided to support
program needs. These facilities will be located away from sensitive areas.
Page 86, Guideline 2: Establishment of day use parking

eliminate physical barriers, and provide equal accessibility
to all programs and facilities.
Support facilities will be designed for
accessibility in accordance with ADA guidelines, and sited with minimal impact
on resource values.
Prior to facility development, a resource assessment will be implemented in order
to direct management on development, use limitations, and public access to the
Partridge Farm Area and its surroundings. The restoration and protection of the
natural communities in the area will offset unavoidable impacts associated with
any development. As well, there is a commitment to provide quality interpretation
of the natural and cultural values therein. Such interpretation is intended to
stimulate an awareness and appreciation by all park visitors to share in the
protection and preservation of these resource values.
Guidelines:

continuous review and periodically updated as new information becomes
available. Additional State and Federal guidelines may also apply.
Page 88, Par. 1: GUIDELINES FOR MULTIPLE AREAS
The management intent for wildland areas surrounding the Partridge Farm and
proposed natural preserve is to preserve natural resource values, protect cultural
sites and features and to provide access opportunities. Recreational activities
will be managed and regulated to minimize visitor impacts on resources.
Designated trailheads along State Highways 9 and 35 will be improved with
upgrades in safety, services, and visitor orientation.
The following goals and guidelines pertain to the management and use of areas
outside the natural preserve and the Partridge Farm Area: including rock
climbing, parking and access, trail camps, and the protection of historic sites and
features.

Open Space District Board Endorses Proposition 12 on March 7 Ballot
Los Altos, CA—At its regular meeting of January 12, 2000 the Board of Directors of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District adopted a resolution in support of State Proposition 12 on the
March 7, 2000 ballot. Proposition 12, known as the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air,
and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000, is a$2.1 billion State bond measure which, if passed by the
voters,will be the first such measure put into place since 1988. In addition to funds allocated to parks and
open space agencies throughout the State on a per-capita basis, there will be millions of dollars available
in competitive grant funds. The District estimates it will receive between $5 million and $6 million in per-
capita funds, and intends to apply for the maximum practicable number of grants for meritorious projects.
An added benefit of this bond measure is that it will provide $55 million to the San Francisco Bay
Area Program of the State Coastal Conservancy. This is the same program from which the District
recently secured a $3 million grant toward acquisition of the Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve.
Funds in this program are earmarked for use in the nine-county Bay Area only, and will provide grants
for many long-overdue recreation, acquisition, facilities, and other projects.
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 45,000 acres of diverse open space and
manages 24 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 Nvards, each represented for a four-year term by an

Open Space District Board Urges Long Term Preservation of Stanford Open Space
Los Altos, CA—The Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has adopted a
resolution urging Stanford University to provide clear and significant long-term or permanent protection for open space
areas of the campus as part of its long-range Community Plan. The resolution, discussed and adopted at the Board's regular
meeting on January 12, 2000, recognizes the vast economic and cultural benefits that Stanford provides to this area, and the
correspondingly significant environmental impacts.
The Board members agreed that the draft Community Plan produced by Stanford does not provide the level of
detail needed to clarify the university's future plans. It particularly fails in providing for any permanent or even long-term
definition of the use of open space areas to the south and west of Junipero Serra Boulevard and Foothill Expressway,and
straddling Interstate 280. The Community Plan is intended to cover the 4,017-acre portion of the campus in unincorporated
Santa Clara County.
"The use and development of the Stanford campus,particularly regarding open space, are issues of critical
importance to the District and to all the communities and jurisdictions of the San Francisco Peninsula,"said Board member
Nonette Hanko. "The future development of the campus is unquestionably the most significant project remaining to be
under-taken on the Peninsula."
Board member Mary Davey, who is also a member of the advisory Community Resource Group examining the
plan,added, "Stanford has a vast level of development and impact, and is requesting entitlements for an additional two
million square feet of buildings and 3000 housing units. It is entirely appropriate that the plan provide permanent protection
for these open space holdings as a mitigation of the cumulative development impact. The current draft plan does not provide
that detail."
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 45,000 acres of diverse open space and manages 24 open space preserves.
Funding is provided by a small share of the annual total property tax revenues collected within District boundaries.The

Resolution No. 00-02
Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District
Urging Stanford University to Offer,and Santa Clara County to Require,Permanent Protection of Significant Open Space
Areas in the Stanford University Community Plan
Whereas,Stanford University provides vast economic and cultural benefits to the communities of the San Francisco Peninsula,and
has correspondingly significant environmental impacts;and
Whereas, Stanford University is subject to the same General Plan,zoning,and other land use controls and standards as any other
private institution;and
Whereas,Stanford University is currently requesting renewal of its General Use Permit from Santa Clara County,which addresses
development in the 4,000-acre portion of the 8,000-acre campus which lies within unincorporated Santa Clara County;and
Whereas,Stanford University is proposing approximately 2 million additional square feet of educational,institutional,and
commercial buildings,and over 3,000 additional housing units,which will have a significant cumulative impact on the community
and the environment on the Peninsula;and
Whereas,Stanford lands include open space lands south and west of Junipero Serra Boulevard and Foothill Expressway that
provide vital recreational opportunities,an open space buffer between burgeoning urban areas,and wildlife corridors extending
through adjacent parks and preserves and riparian corridors to the Santa Cruz Mountains and to San Francisco Bay; and
Whereas,The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District manages six open space preserves in the same critical watershed as the
Stanford open space lands,and has as its Mission and Basic Objectives the preservation of a regional greenbelt,linking District and
other key resource lands;and
Whereas,Santa Clara County has required that Stanford University prepare a Community Plan,addressing the seven required
elements of a General Plan under California law; and
Whereas, Stanford University is internationally renowned as a leader in scientific,cultural, and technical fields,and through this
Plan has the opportunity to demonstrate leadership in the field of environmental and community planning;and
Whereas, Stanford University submitted a draft Community Plan to Santa Clara County on November 15, 1999,that failed to
provide clear definition of future use or protection of critical open space areas, and respond to other vital community concerns.
Now,Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District urges Stanford
University to offer,and Santa Clara County to require,a Community Plan that:
Provides permanent protection of open space areas in sufficient proportion to mitigate the significant cumulative impact of the
requested development entitlements,and reflecting the community value and environmental sensitivity of the open space lands:
Responds to conununity input and provides a level of detail adequate for review of future plans and policies;
Reflects the General Plans and zoning of the adjacent communities and San Mateo County in the Community Plan, including the
Urban Growth Boundary of the City of Palo Alto;
Requires the discretionary review of current and future projects under 5.000 square feet in areas outside the core campus:
Provides a more specific and higher standard of environmental management and monitoring of current and future use, to protect
resources such as creeks,unstable slopes,and archeological sites.

Senator Byron Sher Wins State Funds for Midpeninsula Regional
Open Space District's Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Purchase
Los Altos, CA—In response to a year-long lobbying effort by Senator Byron Sher(D-Stanford),
the California Wildlife Conservation Board last week approved a$2 million grant to help fund the
public acquisition and preservation of the Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve above the Town
of Los Gatos. The District will use this grant to help acquire the upper 805 acres of the 1,065-acre
Preserve, currently owned by Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST).
Last year, the District acquired the lower 260 acres of this preserve for S 15 million. At that time,
POST agreed to borrow commercially and contribute $10 million to purchase the upper 805 acres. Since
last December, the District, with the help of Senator Sher, successfully obtained a total of S5 million in
grant funds toward the purchase of this property from POST, which is working to raise $5 million in
private funds toward the purchase. With the new $2 million Wildlife Conservation Board grant, the
previous $3 million Coastal Conservancy grant, which Senator Sher helped obtain from the Bay
Conservancy account established by Sher's legislation in 1999, and the private funds being, raised by
POST, this property will be permanently protected and preserved as open space on behalf of the public,
for today and for all future generations.
"The Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve truly is a unique open space treasure in our
area," Sher said. "We've worked hard this past year to ensure that this acquisition took place and I'm
very pleased at the Wildlife Conservation Board's action." Senator Sher's and the District's efforts will
help to preserve critical habitat for a number of species, including the threatened red-legged frog, the
Southwestern pond turtle, the California tiger salamander, and at least 7 other species listed either by the
State of Federal government as requiring special protection. Overall, 90 species of birds, _3)2 species of
mammals and 22 species of reptiles and amphibians are known to occur on this site.

In his capacity as a chair of the Senate Budget Sub-committee, which oversees state natural
resource programs, Sher led efforts in this year's state budget to provide $18.5 million in unallocated
funds for the Wildlife Conservation Board, for use in just this sort of project. Senator Sher and State and
regional officials went on a walking tour of the property last fall in order to see for themselves the
rugged terrain, sensitive wildlife habitats, and natural beauty of the Bear Creek Redwoods property.
"We are one big step closer to seeing the permanent protection of this entire property as public
open space," said Craig Britton, District General Manager. "Thanks to Senator Sher's efforts and the
Wildlife Conservation Board members, the Bear Creek Redwoods acquisition is nearly complete."
Located at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains, north of Lexington Reservoir and State Route
17, Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve has long been a high priority for the preservation
because of its natural resources, wildlife habitats, and public recreational opportunities, and is also a top
priority in the Santa Clara County 2020 plan. It is an approximately 20-minute drive from downtown
San Jose, and within just 30 minutes of several million people living in the greater Southern San
Francisco Bay area. The site's level grassland hilltops, which offer vistas of the entire Santa Clara
Valley, and its rugged canyons and forested hills are well-suited for low-intensity public recreational
use. Its direct access to Lexington Reservoir County Park and proximity to State Route 17 give it even
more potential as a recreational destination from throughout the Bay Area. Trail connections in the
region, including to the Bay Area Ridge Trail and the Los Gatos Creek Trail, would be greatly enhanced
and would provide new access to thousands of acres of existing open space lands.
Mature redwood and Douglas fir forests, which are very unusual to find on the bay side of the
Santa Cruz Mountains, give the new Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve a unique
environmental value. Successful preservation efforts will ensure that these natural resources are
permanently protected, thus providing future generations with the opportunity to enjoy unspoiled open
space.
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 45,000 acres of diverse open space and
manages 24 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.

Open Space District Schedules Meetings to Review Trail Access Policv
Los Altos, CA-- The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District,extending from the City of San
Carlos south to near Loma Prieta Mountain, is a public agency which has preserved over 45,000 acres of
diverse open space and manages 24 open space preserves. The District manages a public trail system
featuring 219 miles of unpaved "wildland" trails,mostly in steep, rugged terrain. Seventy eight percent
of these trails are open to multiple use, including mountain bicycles, In recent years, the District's Board
of Directors has become aware of a growing concern from the public over the limited opportunities
available to hikers and equestrians for a tranquil nature experience on the District's open space preserves.
The Board has also been concerned about the difficulty and cost of managing mountain bike use
compared to hiking and equestrian use. A three-member ad hoc committee of the Board was directed by
the full Board to revisit the Trail Use Policy, adopted in 1990, and to return to the full Board with
recommendations on methods to address this issue. Recently a proposal was developed for review and
discussion at a public meeting of the Trail Policy Committee.
In order to immediately improve tranquil nature study opportunities in the District's open space
preserves, a total of 13.6 miles of existing trails are proposed to be closed to bicycle use. No changes are
proposed for hiking or equestrian access. To minimize the impact on bicycle users, the 13.6 miles of trail
closures are proposed in preserves which have very limited existing bicycle access: Foothills, La Honda
Creek, Los Trancos, Picchetti Ranch,Pulgas Ridge, Teague Hill, and Thornewood.
A proposed change in the District's Trail Use Policy is to introduce a long range goal to create a
trail use ratio of 35 -40% hiking or hiking/equestrian trail use, to 60% - 65% multiple use (including
bicycles). The initial trail use changes would bring the ratio to 30% - 70%. The long range target ratio
would be achieved in the future as new lands and trails are added to the system, through individual trail
use designations, or by designating entire new preserves for hiking and equestrian use only.

Dear Board of Directors:
l
Thank you for giving new consideration to the use of Mid-Pen's land 1
iv gi`v'i 1g oppor*lanities for tranquil nati_ire experiences, and not thrill-
seeking recreationists.
The great gift your district gives us is the opportunity to escape
from
the fast pace of the Bay Area lifestyle into the peace of nature. And
that peace is often interrupted by a couple of speeding bicyclists
rushing by.
I will never be convinced they are out for the enjoyment of nature;
not at the speed they prefer.
I would amend your Current Trail Use Designations by removing both
Purisima Creek Redwoods and Windy Hill and moving them into the
preserves proposed to be closed to all bicycle use. For these reasons:
1. Upper Alpine Road provides a very adequate parallel bicycle route
from the valley floor to Skyline. In addition, Coal Creek Preserve
increases the available bicycle use in that area. Therefore, Windy Hill
woulu be better left to those 1r shing a tranquil experience, without
speeding bicycles.
2. Purisima Creek Redwoods is another area which duplicates the
bicycle experience of Corte Madera, and Bear Gulch West, and Tunitas
Creek Road. This area is difficult to manage, is a very popular hiking
area, and deserves to be left to those wishing a tranquil experience in
nature.
Best Wishes and Good Luck in pursuing your go

To the Board of Directors:
This letter is regarding the District's Trail Use Policy and Trail Use Guidelines and
Mitigation Measures.
I believe that several concepts should be considered in trail use policy.
• The vast majority of users are intelligent and considerate, and rules created for the l
unintelligent and inconsiderate minority should not interfere with the experience of
the majority of users.
• Excessive rules and their necessary enforcement expenses(or flagrant disregard)
detract from the primary mission of the district. Special-interest users should bear the
costs and perform the mitigation necessary for the pursuit of those special interests.
• Rules should be as simple and straightforward as possible, and minimize conflicts
between various interest groups.
With these concepts in mind, I propose a radical notion for debate(bear in mind that I am
primarily a hiker, rarely a mountain-biker and never an equestrian).
• As many trails as possible should be designated multiple use.
• Formally recognized equestrian and cyclist organizations should be responsible for
monitoring their respective users.
• Hikers should be encouraged to report inconsiderate behavior,trail destruction
(including muddy zones made impassable), equestrian feces left on the trail or refusal
to safely share right-of-way.
• The district will tally complaints and designate specific preserves off-limits to special
interest users if a certain number of complaints for that specific preserve are filed.
• Preserves may be re-opened if the number of complaints(arbitrary cut-off values
pre-determined)for all preserves declines. This gives the special-interest
organizations incentive to monitor their users and enforce codes of conduct. Rather
than hiker vs. equestrian vs. cyclist vs. MROSD,the special-interest groups should be
motivated towards internal enforcement of appropriate conduct within their own
groups. Rules cannot substitute for common sense nor can they substitute for
special-interest groups instilling appropriate behavior among their peers.
Though the concept of opening all trails to all non-motorized users may seem frightening,
common sense among special-interest users would dictate that their use of some trails
would not be appropriate. Equestrians who used narrow trails which would not allow a
hiker to pass safely should generate a hiker complaint and potential loss of preserve
rights. Similarly, a cyclist might use that narrow trail,but dismount and carry the bike to
the side allowing passage--not doing so would generate a complaint and potential loss of
usage rights. Special-interest organizations, with feedback from the District's complaint
log, would have the role of advising their members on inadvisable routes. This would
reduce the district's role to an open or closed policy at the preserve level (based on
complaints)rather than trail-by-trail monitoring and seasonal micromanagement. The
intelligent individual should be allowed to use common sense rather than having arbitrary
rules dictated.
These ideas would require the development of formal relationships with special-interest
groups and a more formal method of registering complaints or infractions. The end
result,however, should be one of increased cooperation rather than antagonism.
Sincerely,
es A.
