Motion: N. Hanko moved that the Board consider part 1 of this item. Discussion: S. Schectman presented the report on the first part of Agenda Item 2 to the Board. There is an immediate need to take action in the pending Half Moon Bay Coastside Foundation litigation. The court issued an order on Friday taking under submission the i Meeting 04-17 Page 3 question as to whether or not there are sufficient protests to warrant an election on the LAFCo approval of the annexation. At this time the District does not know the outcome or when the judge will rule.

Supplementary Agenda Item No. 213 — 2. Authorize President of the Board of Directors to Sign on Behalf of the District Written Arguments in Support of the Coastside Protection Program and to Take Such Other Steps as May Be Necessary to Comply with Any Potential Order of the Court that LAFCo's July 7, 2004 Approval of the District's Application for Annexation of the San Mateo Coastside be Placed on the November 2 2004 General Election Ballot for Voter Approval — (Report R-04-76). S. Schectman reported that this action is consistent with what the Board approved on Measure F in 1998. Due to the uncertainty of this matter General Counsel requested the Board to consider amending this agenda item to authorize the President of the Board or, in her absence or unavailability, the Vice President of the Board, to take the listed actions. Motion: J. Cyr moved that the Board authorize the President of the Board of Directors, or in her absence, the Vice President, to sign, on behalf of the District, written arguments in support of the Coastside Protection Program and to take such other steps as may be necessary to comply with any potential order of the Court that LAFCo's July 7, 2004 approval of the District's Application for Annexation be placed on the November 2, 2004 general election ballot for voter approval, as amended. N. Hanko seconded the motion, as amended. The motion passed 7 to 0. VIII. INFORMATIONAL REPORTS J. Cyr: Ranger Danielson gave him and a La Honda resident a tour of the Red Barn in La Honda. M. Davey: She congratulated the three incumbents who filed their candidacy without opposition. D. Little: He discovered that a potential candidate did take out nomination papers with Santa Clara County but ultimately decided not to file. Meeting 04-17 Page 4 K. Nitz: He had a question regarding an FYI item, specifically, C. Roessler's letter to Elizabeth Lotz of Sonoma State University pertaining to the Sudden Oak Death study. He wanted to be sure the District would receive a response and what would be the timeline. N. Hanko: She has received correspondence from Jim Warren regarding the District's good neighbor policy. C. Britton: 1. He mentioned the FYIs contained the request and response to Mr. McQueen regarding missing signage at Mt. Umunhurn as requested by Director, Siemens. 2. The FYIs also contained the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Survey. 3. He accompanied Lisa Killough for a presentation to a working group in Napa County attempting to form a new park district. They have no county park department. 4. He attended a City of Palo Alto meeting that continued the discussion of the regional trail through Foothills Park. 5. Kent Dedrick passed away July 17th. 6. The dusky-footed wood rat has stopped a project in Devonshire Canyon in San Carlos. 7. He spoke with Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District's Manager, Joe Donofrio, regarding the mail ballot assessment that would raise approximately $1 million per year. They received a 60% "yes" vote. They also discussed co-sponsoring one "not-so-annual" conference in September 2005. 8. The State Budget was signed and non-enterprise special districts would suffer a 10% loss of property tax revenue for 2 years. For the District, that equals out to approximately $4 million. If the District's debt service is exempted, that could bring it as low as $2.6 million. 9. The FEMA project for Page Mill Road has received approval to pay the District$33 1,000. 10. Jim Warren has been discussing the idea of an online discussion group with R. Jurgensen, Public Affairs Manager. This would provide a venue for staff to talk with residents online. At this time it would be more productive to have residents direct their questions/input to our staff at infogopenspace.org. J. Maciel reported that a theft had occurred at the Skyline Field Office. Equipment worth up to $15,000 was stolen. The San Mateo County Sheriffs Department is investigating the incident. IX. ADJOURNMENT At 8:25 p.m., the meeting was adjourned.

Determine that the recommended actions are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)as set out in this report. 2. Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing acceptance of the Conservation Easement over the former Rose-Basich property from POST as an addition to the Coal Creek Open Space Preserve. DESCRIPTION (see attached map) The District is being offered a gift of a 5.09-acre Conservation Easement adjacent to Coal Creek Open Space Preserve. The easement was obtained by Peninsula Open Space Trust(POST)to preserve the property and to create an open space buffer when the District acquired the lands of Rose(Report R-82-27) and established Coal Creek Open Space Preserve in 1982. Since that time the easement area has remained undeveloped open space with only limited human modifications. This easement is important as a buffer between the open space land and an adjacent, improved parcel for preserving the natural resources within the easement area, and for protecting the viewshed from adjacent public lands. POST,which acquired the w easement at the Districts request, is no asking that the District accept the easement and continue monitoring it as part of its ownership and management of the surrounding Coal Creek Open Space Preserve. The property is located on a north-facing slope of the Santa Cruz Mountains within the Skyline Boulevard Scenic Corridor. The property is directly adjacent to Crazy Pete's Road,which is part of the Valley View Trail corridor and is one of the primary public access routes to the more remote portions of Coal Creek Open Space Preserve. The easement area serves as an open-space buffer zone that masks an adjacent developed residential parcel to the north from Coal Creek Open Space Preserve and the Skyline Boulevard Scenic Corridor that includes a section of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. The residential parcel is adjacent to the north boundary of the easement area. The easement area is surrounded on three sides by Coal Creek Open Space Preserve and is also visible from Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve to the west. Historically,the property was grazed by cattle and used for harvesting firewood. The property drains northwesterly to form a tributary to Coal Creek. The easement area originally consisted of a 5.09-acre parcel. However, following a lot line adjustment,the easement area is now encompassed within a larger 6.29-acre parcel. The easement area is primarily undisturbed woodland,which provides habitat for a variety of wildlife. Four distinct plant communities are found in the easement area. Mature coast live oak and canyon live oak trees dominate the oak woodland area, including several very large,apparently old growth trees. A mixed evergreen forest of Douglas fir,madrone,tan oak, coast live oak,and California bay is found in the 33o Distel Circle 650-691-E200 infoopenspace.org BOARD OF DIRECTORS:Pete Siemens,Mary Davey,led Cyr, GENERAL MANAGER: Los Altos CA 94022-1404 650-691-0485 fax www.openspace.org Deane Little,Nonette Hanko,Larry Hassett,Kenneth C.Nitz L.Craig Britton R-04-101 Page 2 northwest corner. A row of non-native shore pines grows along the southern side of the easement area, while small patches of grassland habitat are found in the middle area and in the southeast corner. There are some improvements on the easement area, including a water pipeline,a power line,a fenced garden plot, fence lines,and a capped wellhead. A house, a cabin, and a barn are located on the residential parcel adjacent to the easement area. The parcel with the conservation easement and the adjacent residential parcel are owned by the same private party. The private party has requested ingress and egress rights through a portion of Coal Creek Open Space Preserve. This matter is the subject of pending litigation between that party and the District. USE AND MANAGEMENT PLAN Planning Considerations The property is located within an unincorporated area of San Mateo County and zoned Resource Management(RM). The parcel, due to the lot line adjustment,could possibly be approved for a legal separate residential site. The conservation easement prohibits additional structures within the easement area,but structures could be built within the expansion area of approximately 1.2 acres. The easement also grants a trail easement anywhere within the easement area to POST and its successor. Use and Management Recommendations The conservation easement will be held solely by the District. The District will be responsible for monitoring and enforcing the conditions of the easement. The conservation easement allows the fee owner to: 1)take dead or downed trees,2)construct agricultural buildings subject to prior approval, 3)pasture and graze cattle,4)control predatory and problem animals,and 5)conduct other activities not inconsistent with the purpose of the conservation easement. The property will be maintained in a natural condition with no changes in land use, and no additional roads,non-agricultural structures or improvements will be constructed on the property. POST has prepared an Easement Baseline Documentation Report and a record of its annual inspections for the District to use when monitoring future activity on the property. Monitoring: Annual monitoring inspection and report to be performed by the District,probably by District volunteers trained to do such inspections. Public Access: Closed to the public at this time. Dedication: Indicate your intention to withhold dedicating the property-conservation easement as public open space at this time. Name: Name the easement as an addition to Coal Creek Open Space Preserve. CAA COMPLIANCE Project Description The project consists of the acquisition of an easement interest in the unincorporated area of San Mateo County comprising a 5.09-acre area of land,and the concurrent adoption of a Preliminary Use and Management Plan for the easement. The land will be permanently preserved as open space and maintained in a natural condition. CEQA Determination The District concludes that this project will not have a significant effect on the environment. It is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)under Article 19, Section 15317 and 15325 as follows: R-04-101 Page 3 Section 15317 exempts the acceptance of easements in order to maintain the open space character of an area. This acquisition will transfer an easement interest in the property to the District and ensure that the open space character of the property will be preserved. Section 15325 exempts transfers of ownership of interests in land in order to preserve existing natural conditions. This acquisition will transfer an easement interest in the property to the District and ensure that it will preserve existing natural conditions,including animal habitat. The actions proposed in the Preliminary Use and Management Plan are also exempt under Article 5, Section 15061(b)(3),as there is no possibility the actions will have a significant effect on the environment. TERMS&CONDITIONS The easement interest is being granted to the District at no cost. The conservation easement will remain on the property in the event of subsequent property ownership transfer. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Adjacent property owners in the area have been mailed written notices of this proposed acquisition. Prepared by: Thomas W.

DISCUSSION The fines for District parking violations have remained at$25.00 for many years. The Board adopted revised District Land Use Regulations (see report 04-80) which included revisions to Section 801.1 (Parking). As part of the revision process, sub-sections were added regulating illegal parking in a handicapped-marked space and parking in non-designated areas. Currently no fine amount is set for either violation. A review of the District's current Schedule found that the District's fine schedule is lower than that of surrounding agencies (see Appendix A—attached). Parking violations continue to be a problem of special concern at Rancho San Antonio Park, and it is important that the District's fines reflect those of neighboring agencies, and reflect cost of living increases over the years. District parking citations are handled as a civil, rather than criminal matter, and so the parking fine schedule is adopted separately from the bail schedule, which was previously adopted by the Board for the other Ordinances.

Amend Resolution No. 04-13 to delete the requirement that the District ombudsperson be a District resident; and 2. Approve the Procedures for Interviews for the Ombudsperson. DISCUSSION On May 26, 2004,the Board adopted Resolution No. 04-13 establishing a plan for appointment of a citizen ombudsperson in conformity with the San Mateo Local Agency Formation Commission's Conditions of Approval of the Coastside Protection Program(see Report R-04-57). (This plan was amended by Board on September 22, 2004 by adoption of Resolution 04-34.) Accordingly the Board has called a Special Public Meeting for the purpose of initial interviews of the applicants scheduled for October 20, 2004 beginning at 5:00 p.m. It is recommended that Board approve the attached Procedures for Interviews for Ombudsperson to be utilized for the first and second rounds of the interview process. In the District's promotion of the Ombudsperson position, it is stated that residency in the District boundaries is required. This requirement was not part of LAFCo's conditions, but rather the District's Resolution. Three of the seven applicants reside outside the District boundaries. In light of the fact that the District has many people it serves and many people who support the District who reside outside the District,and in order to enable the Board to interview all applicants, it is recommended to further amend Resolution No. 04-13 to eliminate the requirement that the Ombudsperson be a constituent of the District. This recommendation is supported by your Legislative, Finance and Public Affairs Committee. The following amendment to the resolution is recommended as follows: Section Two. The Committee's recommendations shall include: a description of the ombudsperson's role and duties;the desired qualification criteria, whether the ombudsperson is to be a volunteer or compensated; the proposed term of appointment;the proposed application for Ombudsperson; and other necessary or desirable terms of appointment.

As a result of the Board's evaluation of the Controller's performance for the Fiscal Year 2003- 2004, the Ad Hoc Board Appointee Evaluation Committee recommends a salary increase of 3 point per annum retroactive to April 1, 2004. 2. Adopt the attached resolution approving the Controller's Employment Agreement to reflect an adjusted salary of$17,000 per annum. DISCUSSION The Board conducted its annual evaluation of the Controller's performance at its August 25, 2004 Special Meeting and was extremely pleased with Mike Foster's performance and service to the District. The Ad Hoc Board Appointee Evaluation Committee, composed of Directors Cyr, Davey and Siemens, was instructed to serve as the District's negotiator and was directed by the Board to meet with the Controller to review his compensation. The Controller's Employment Agreement calls for an annual performance review and consideration of any proposals by the Board or the Controller to modify or amend the Agreement. It is also possible for the Board to award a salary adjustment and grant a meritorious award of up to 5%. However,the Controller requested that he not be awarded a meritorious increase even though the Board felt he deserved consideration for the highest award. The Committee recognized that the original Employment Agreement with the Controller was entered into on August 23, 1995. The original Agreement is somewhat dated in form, so we have asked General Counsel to prepare a new Employment Agreement to update and incorporate previous amendments and modernize the Agreement. The Committee recommends that, based on the Controller's past performance, the Board approve a salary adjustment for the Controller, increasing his annual salary to $17,000 (an increase of 3 points) retroactive to April 1, 2004. This salary adjustment takes into consideration the Controller's past performance and the increase in the cost of living.

Foster, employing him as the District Controller; and WHEREAS, the Agreement provides for an annual review of Controller's performance and an annual compensation review, which the Board has completed; and WHEREAS, the Board desires to adjust Controller's annual compensation to include a three point salary adjustment, increasing his salary to $17,000 per year retroactive to April 1, 2004; WHEREAS, The Board and the Controller desire to update, modernize and incorporate previous amendments into the original District Controller Employment Agreement by entering into a new Employment Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District does authorize the President of the Board of Directors to execute the attached District Controller Employment Agreement which incorporates an increase in the Controller's salary to $17,000 per annum based on a three percent cost of living salary adjustment, retroactive to April 1, 2004. III Regional Open Sp."ze ------------- R-04-99 MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT Meeting 04-21 CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF OPEN ST'ACE PRESERVAI-ION October 13, 2004 AGENDA ITEM 6 AGENDA ITEM Authorize an Amendment to the Contract with District Auditor, Macias, Gini & Company, and Authorize the General Manager to Expend a Total of $28,361 for Auditing Services for Fiscal Year 2003/2004, Which Represents $6,308 Over the Current Contract Amount GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Authorize an amendment to the contract with District auditor Macias, Gini & Company as set out in this report; 2. Authorize the General Manager to execute any required amendment and to expend a total of $28,361 for auditing services for fiscal year 2003/2004, which represents $6,308 over the current contract amount. DISCUSSION In 2002 the District entered into a three-year agreement for auditing services with Macias, Gini& Company, as the lowest bidder in the Request for Proposal process. The 2003/2004 fiscal year contract amount for auditing services was quoted as$22,053. Fiscal year 2003/2004 was the first year for the required implementation of Government Accounting Standards Board(GASB) 34. GASB 34 included numerous additional requirements, including depreciation schedules for District structures and improvements, on-site visits, additional interviews,etc. In addition to the added requirements,the auditors discovered an inconsistency between documents in the District's recent bond refinancing reserve requirements, which required the auditors to consult with personnel responsible for the District bond issue. As a result of these two factors, and the fact that District staff could not fully anticipate the intricacies of the new depreciation schedules,the actual cost of the audit substantially exceeded the $22,053 quoted. District staff discussed the overages with Macias, Gini &Company and referred to the contract requirement that states that any significant additional time necessary would be discussed in advance. The auditing staff did not fully comply with this portion of contract, giving advance notice only for the bond refinancing correction discussions. In discussing the total overages with Macias, Gini &Company management the District staff suggested, upon Board approval,to pay $6,308 of the total overage amount. This additional amount is not expected to cause an overage in the District's total consulting services budget. Therefore, no additional budget appropriations will be necessary. b Prepared : p Y Sally Thielfoldt Assistant General Manager Contact person: Same as above 33o DIstel Circle 650-691-12oo info@openspace.org BOARD OF DIRECTORS:Pete Siemens,Mary Davey,Jed Cyr, GENERAL MANAGER: Los Altos CA 94022-1404 650-691-0485 Fax www.openspace.org Deane Little,Nonette Hanko,tarry Hassett,Kenneth C.Nitz L.Craig Britton Regi onal Tl Open tce i� � R-04-103 Meeting 04-21 MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT October 13,2004 c.rJ.AIII AI ING 30 YI:ARS OF OVEN Sf'A(;F PR SI'RVAH ON AGENDA ITEM 7 AGENDA ITEM Approval of a Lease Modification/Supplement of Ground Lease for Communications Structures with the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA), Black Mountain, Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Determine that the recommended actions are categorically exempt from th lifornia Environmental Quality Act. 2. Adopt the attached Resolution approving the Lease Modification/Supplement of Ground Lease for Communications Structures with the FAA,Black Mountain,Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve. DISCUSSION At your meeting of August 10, 1983,you approved a five-year lease with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)with four five-year options for a communications facility located at Black Mountain, Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve. At your meeting of June 23,2004 you were advised that the District had agreed to the exercise of the final FAA Option through September 30,2009. In accordance with Section 5563 of the California Public Resources Code,the District can lease property for a maximum term of 25 years under certain conditions. A subsequent staff review discovered that in 1993 the District had agreed to a one-year lease extension. Because of this one-year lease extension in 1993,the current final lease option is for only four years instead of five(the second and third five-year options were exercised from October 1, 1994 through September 30, 2004). Lease Modification/Supplement Staff has negotiated the terms for the final four years of the lease,ending on September 30,2008. The market rent over the four-year lease term is a fixed rent of$2,632 per month,which is an increase from the current rent of$2,015 per month. This rental rate represents a four-year average of market rent for this site factoring in 7% annual increases. The fixed market rent is preferred by the federal government and is to the District's advantage as a portion of the later-year increases are received in the earlier years. The calculation of the proposed rent is as follows: Year Base Rent 7% Increase Monthly Rent Oct. 1,2004-Sept. 30,2005 $2,215.87 $155.11 $2,370.98 Oct. 1,2005 -Sept. 30,2006 $2,370.98 $165.97 $2,536.95 Oct. 1,2006 -Sept. 30, 2007 $2,536.95 $177.59 $2,714.54 Oct. 1,2007 -Sept. 30, 2008 $2,714.54 $190.02 $2,904.55 Subtotal $10,527.02 Average Rent $2,631.75 Round-up $2,632.00 33o Distel Circle 650-691-1200 info@openspace.org BOARD OF DIRECTORS:Pete Siemens,Mary Davey,Jed Cyr, GENERAL MANAGER: Los Altos CA 94022-1404 650-691-0485 fax www.openspace,org Deane Little,Nonette Hanko,Larry Hassett,Kenneth C.Nitz L.Craig Britton R-04-103 Page 2 USE AND MANAGEMENT On December 8, 1982,the District adopted a communications policy for the existing facilities at Black Mountain entitled Policies for the Black Mountain Communications Facilities(see Memorandum M-82-119, November 19, 1982). This policy states that new lease renewals will be considered on a case-by-case basis. As a continued use of existing communication facilities is what is currently being proposed,the Communications Site Lease and Agreement is in compliance with the objectives of the above-referenced communications policy. CEQA Determination The project involves the leasing of existing public land and its ongoing maintenance, involving no expansion of use. It is categorically exempt from CEQA(the California Environmental Quality Act)under Article 19, Section 15301 as follows: Section 15301 exempts the operation,repair,maintenance,permitting, leasing, licensing,and minor alteration of existing public or private structures and facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. Recommendation Staff supports the Lease Modification/Supplement because the continued use of an existing communications facility provides increased rental income to the District and conforms to District policy.

The District may, under the provisions of Section 5540 and 5563 of the Public Resources Code, lease property owned by the District for a period of up to twenty-five (25)years, and the Board of Directors finds that the premises to be leased for Communication Facilities remains temporarily unnecessary for park and open space purposes and considers that amendment of the lease of such premises for Communication Facilities is in the public interest, on the terms hereinafter set forth. Section Two. The Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District does hereby approve the Lease Modification/Supplement between the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District and the Federal Aviation Administration, a copy of which is attached hereto and by reference made a part hereof, and does hereby authorize the General Manager to execute said Lease Modification/Supplement on behalf of the District.

This ad is part of our campaign to mobilize community pressure on the Navy, which has been highly effective over the last two years. Our campaign drove the Navy to the negotiating table with Save The Bay last winter and prompted the Navy to reconsider its 2001 proposal for a partial cleanup. We accomplished this by prompting more than 1000 citizens to send letters and emails to the Navy demanding a full cleanup, written requests from U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer and U.S. Representative Anna Eshoo, and a letter from sixteen community organizations to the Navy. We are at a critical moment in the campaign. Under tremendous pressure to respond to the community, the Navy is hosting an informational open house about Site 25 on Thursday, October 14, in Mountain View. We are organizing the community to ask the Navy to fully cleanup its mess, acutely aware that the Navy is likely to release its revised cleanup proposal in early 2005. There is much at stake. Moffett Field was once part of a continuous band of pristine tidal marshes along the South Bay shoreline and a critical part of the Bay's ecology. During the Navy's occupancy, it turned 260 acres of wetlands that had been diked and separated from the Bay into a catch basin for stormwater runoff loaded with DDT, PCBs and other dangerous chemicals. It also disposed of jet fuel and other toxic wastes in a landfill along the shore of the Bay. With the adjacent salt pond restoration effort commencing, there is an opportunity to restore this band of wetlands, but this cannot happen if the Navy does not commit and do a full clean up of all the toxins. Thank you to Buder Engel and Friends, a top-notch advertising agency that donated its time to create this insightful ad. We are especially grateful to the hundreds of Save The Bay members and supporters who have participated in this campaign. I hope you can join us on October 14 to ask the Navy to protect San Francisco Bay.

Box 942896 Sacramento,CA 94296 Dear Mr. Radosevich, I am writing to express my strong support for the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District's application for two grants from the Habitat Conservation Fund program to preserve coastal riparian habitat and endangered andronomous salmonids and trout habitat. The first $282,500 matching grant in the Riparian Habitat category will use funds to help acquire the 157- acre Arroyo Leon property,home to fifteen special status species,on the western boundary of the Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve. The property fronts a half-mile segment of the Arroyo Leon,a perennial stream with a well-developed,dense multi-storied riparian corridor. Red alder,the dorninant species within the corridor,and other riparian species,grow across the slopes from the property's north ridge to the streambed on the south side of Arroyo Leon. Wet soils have formed from the abundance of springs,and the moist conditions are enhanced by the heavy fog drip that occurs nearly year round. The result is a gradational mix of riparian and mixed evergreen forest on the watershed slopes. An estimated 50%of the property can be considered riparian woodland on the basis of its plants and wet soils. The second$500,000 matching grant in the Anadromous Salmonids and Trout Habitat category will use funds to help acquire the 15 1-acre Rapley Ranch property,home to eight special status species, on the northern boundary of the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. A feature of this property is Mindego Creek,which is important as a spawning and nursery area for the federally threatened steelhead,and is a potential habitat for the endangered Coho salmon,which historically were present,downstream in San Gregorio Creek. Recently,a project to restore an area of San Gregorio Creek about one half mile from its mouth has been started by the San Gregorio Environmental Restoration Center and the San Mateo County Resource Conservation District. Acquisition of the Rapley Ranch property will protect a key headwater for San Gregorio Creek, thereby providing an essential link in preserving anadromous salmonid habitat. These factors make the acquisition and preservation of the Arroyo Leon and Rapley Ranch properties a high priority for the District,and I urge you to assist in funding these projects,and thereby ensuring these properties are permanently protected. Together with the adjacent District open space preserves,these acquisitions enlarge and connect the riparian corridors of the peninsula,as well as enrich the habitats that are key to protecting steelhead and Coho salmon. Thank you for your consideration.

Box 942896 Sacramento, CA 94296 Dear Mr. Radosevich, I write to you in support of Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District's efforts to secure funding for two grants that will allow for the purchase and protection of two distinct properties in San Mateo County. The first matching grant, for$282,500 is for the 157-acre Arroyo Lean property on the western edge of the Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space District. This property is the home to fifteen special status species, riparian woodland environments and a perennial stream that serves the riparian corridor. I The second matching grant, for$500,000,is for the 151-acre Rapley Ranch property on the northern boundary of the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. This property is the home to eight special status species. It is also the source of Mindego Creek, a spawning and nursery area for the steelhead, as well as a potential habitat for the endangered Coho salmon. Protection of the Rapley Ranch property will allow for the preservation of key watersheds for the San Gregorio Creek and these endangered aquatic species. Both properties are available from willing sellers only, and their current owners are very interested in preserving these two important properties. It is my hope that you will support Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District's grant efforts that will result in the extension of San Mateo County's significant open space areas.

We served a total of 929 children ages 6 to 18. We are pleased to have been able to share Hidden Villa's mission of multicultural understanding and environmental awareness with so many children. Thanks to the generosity of so many, we were able to award a total of 404 scholarships; 225 scholarships were in the Residential Programs, meaning that 60% of our residential campers attended with some level of financial assistance. Day Camps awarded a total of 178 scholarships. Our programs ran exceedingly well last summer — due largely in part to your contributions that helped us provide a quality educational and recreational experience for our diverse program participants. We are fortunate to have individuals like you who allow us to continue building an outstanding program that draws so many committed staff, volunteers, and program participants to Hidden Villa. We'd like to especially recognize the efforts and express our gratitude to Ranger Francis Reneau for her help in educating our 2004 Summer Camp Staff about the Mid Peninsula Open Space District.

Craig Britton, General Manager From: Matt Freeman, Senior Planner Date: October 13, 2004 Re: Progress Report—El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve Watershed Protection Program Year one construction activities at the Preserve are nearly complete. The contractor has finished installing all of the new culverts, and the rock fords are expected to be completed by the end of this week. Frequently-spaced rolling dips and waterbars have been installed along sections of the Methuselah, Timberview, Springboard, and Gordon Mill patrol roads. A few remaining punch list items will be completed over the next two weeks, including application of baserock to armor the road surface in a few key locations, and installation of erosion control materials in preparation for the rainy season. Tim Best, the Project Engineer, and Craig Beckman, Skyline Area Construction and Maintenance Supervisor, have conducted thorough inspections of the work to date. For the most part, they are satisfied that the contractor's work meets the project's objectives and will result in a significant long-term reduction in erosion. However, due to dry soil conditions and the difficulty of bringing large amounts of water to the more inaccessible work sites, in some locations the construction activities have generated more dust and loose soil than was anticipated. To prevent erosion at these locations and to provide an opportunity for the freshly shaped rolling dips to "settle in", staff feels that there would be benefit in keeping the roads closed to the public until the winter rains have soaked in to the soils and further compacted the road surface. These closures would need to apply to much of the southern half of the Preserve in order to effectively direct visitor traffic away from all of the construction areas. The northern half of the Preserve would remain open, providing opportunities for hikers and cyclists to continue enjoying the Preserve throughout the winter months. The Planning and Operations Departments will finalize our recommendations for your review this week. Should you approve these temporary closures, signs would be installed on-site, and informational materials would be posted on the District's website and sent to project stakeholders and interested parties. 330 Distel Circle 650-691-1200 info@openspace.org BOARD OF DIRECTORS:Pete Siemens,Mary Davey,led Cyr, GENERAL MANAGER: Los Altos CA 94022-1404 650-691-0485 fax www.openspace.org Deane tittle,Nonette Hanko,Larry Hassett,Kenneth C.Nitz L.Craig Britton Regional Open Sp..ce MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT (JJEBRA'I'ING 30 YFARS OF OPEN SPACE PRESFRVA-110N � TO: Board of Directors FROM: L.

To give you some background, the District is an independent, California special district(public agency with an elected Board of Directors)whose mission is to acquire and preserve a regional greenbelt of open space land in perpetuity, protect and restore the natural environment, and provide opportunities for ecologically sensitive public enjoyment and education. Many mountain bicyclists enjoy our preserves. Your ad "Ranger dodging. Sweet." (copy enclosed)was probably meant to appeal to the juvenile in all of us and as such, is harmless,but it has nevertheless left a bitter aftertaste. Here's why: The attitude you portray to sell your liquid is troubling because it shows a lack of concern for the environment and a lack of understanding regarding the responsibilities of public land managers. Racing down hills is, I'm sure, almost as sweet now as it was when we were all teenagers. But now we've own u and we should know that as a result of the type of behavior that is ICI ff p encouraged in your ads, our public lands are facing tough problems, including erosion and sedimentation of streams. Is this really a"Big Deal?" Absolutely. There are streams in the e pp Y Midp ninsula area that support federally protected steelhead and coho salmon habitat. Riding on not direct ly contributes to destroying illegal and closed trails fueled b our fluids or y Yl g g YY endangered species habitat in preserves that are being fragmented (and systematically destroyed) in. One of our Rangers' 'pristine terra O ited nst access into relatively uninhabited, by repeated senseless y p most important jobs is to make sure that bicyclists stay off prohibited trails so they don't upset the ecological balance. Instead of dodging Rangers, I know of some cases in which bicyclists hope that Rangers will do just the opposite and help them"get out of Dodge," as it were. That's when they've hit a tree or wiped out and tumbled down a steep embankment because they thought that posted regulations were only created for wimps and not for them. Our rangers regularly rescue, and often call for helicopter evacuation, to save their lives. 33o Distel Circle 650-691-1200 info@openspace.org BOARD OF DIRECTORS:Pete Siemens,Mary Davey,Jed Cyr, GENERAL MANAGER: Los Altos CA 94022-1404 650-691-049S fax www.openspace.org Deane Little,Nonette Honko,Larry Hossett,Kenneth C.Nitz L.Craig Britton Riders that ignore regulations are a small percentage of the population, as most of them use the preserves responsibly.

This outcome was greatly facilitated by Sumudu Welaratna and Matt Sagues of our Planning Department,and by Kerry Carlson and Frances Reneau of our Operations Department. District Field staff initially recognized unauthorized use of an area of El Sereno Open Space Preserve that shares a boundary with a residential parcel adjacent to Highway 17 south of the Cats Restaurant. The primary question was the exact location of the boundary line,about which even the District's past property information was unclear. The private-property owner believed the boundary to be uphill of a Eucalyptus grove, and at a location where dirt roads intersected with an old road used by the District. The private property owner had cleared brush for fire protection. Planning and Operations staff took the Trimble GPS unit to the site to map the area of the boundary in question, and then translated that information onto a professionally prepared set of maps. These maps clearly indicated that the property owner's activities were well within the Preserve's boundary. We presented this information and the maps to the private property owner, and explained to him that, although we felt the information was correct,only an actual survey could precisely define the boundary location. We further explained that such a survey would be costly to both parties, and would very likely indicate that the boundary was in the same general area as indicated by the District's GPS unit. We then suggested that the simplest solution would be for both parties to agree to respect the boundary location as depicted by the GPS information. The private property owner approved of this approach,in writing, and agreed to immediately cease his unauthorized use of District land. This process has saved the District considerable funds,improved communications and understanding with an adjacent neighbor,and quickly resolved a boundary dispute. Regional Open Sp, _e �..

The District is a public agency that was formed by voter initiative in 1972 to preserve,protect, and enhance open space lands in the San Francisco Bay Area. The District owns and manages St. Joseph's Hill Open Space Preserve, which is located less than one-half mile from the project site and immediately north of Lexington County Park and east of Los Gatos Creek Trail. The District is concerned about the potential negative effects that the proposed project may create recreational opportunities in the area. After reviewing on the natural resources and pp S the DEIR, it appears that the environmental document does not adequately address a number of important issues and is missing critical property ownership information. Please accept the following comments regarding the scope and content of the DEIR: 1. The project description includes plugging the existing outlet pipe with concrete once it becomes obsolete. Unfortunately,the DEIR does not analyze the physical removal and disposal of the facility as an alternative to plugging in place. Please explain the feasibility and environmental concerns associated with the removal of the old outlet pipe. 2. Please add a map showing the trails and public agency ownership and management of lands located within 1,500 feet of the project site overlaid with the location of the proposed new facilities. 3. According to the DEIR,at least one parking facility on Alma Bridge Road would be closed to the public for an extended period of time and used as a temporary staging area. Please show on a map the location of the parking areas and parking spaces that will be temporarily inaccessible to the public during construction. Please include the location of other parking slots and vacant spaces that will be made temporarily available for visitors who wishes to access nearby trails and open space lands. 4. Please explain the recreational impacts,if any,that may result on other local trails and parks as visitors seek alternate recreational opportunities to avoid the construction area. 5. The DEIR identifies the need to temporarily reroute trail traffic during construction. Please show on a map the alignment of the temporary trail reroute and the location of signs, flagmen,barricades,etc., that will be in place to ensure public safety and compliance. 6. According to the DEIR,monetary costs for the preferred alternative are lower,but the environmental impacts greater when compared to the option of retrofitting the existing outlet 33o Distel Circle 650-691-i2oo info@openspace.org BOARD OF DIRECTORS:Pete Siemens,Mary Davey,Jed Cyr, GENERAL MANAGER: Los Altos CA 94022-1404 650-6gi-0485 fax www.openspace.org Deane Little,Nonette Hanko,Larry Hossett,Kenneth C Nitz L.Craig Britton A µM cep:;a„==.. facility. Several potential operational disadvantages are identified as reasons for eliminating the retrofitting alternative, such as potential earthquake damage and increased maintenance and monitoring due to corrosion. Please elaborate by explaining the likelihood of each identified disadvantage,the extent of the potential inconvenience(i.e. short term versus long term), and the ability to correct the operational problem if it does occur. 7.

In addition,we adopted a more aggressive approach to informational outreach—with some success. Since registration began on September 8,2004, we have been able to sign up the Kings Mountain School and we are in the process of arranging a requested docent-led hike for the Seacrest School in Half Moon Bay. Pacifica's Oceanview School has expressed an interest in participating in next spring's Spaces& Species classes.

The purpose of the Plan is to enhance the restoration plan produced by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). I've enclosed a copy of our Plan for your information. We're confident that our alternative, complementary Plan offers full protection to Bair Island's inherent environmental features, while providing enhanced opportunities for low- intensity public access, education, and understanding of the island's unique qualities. I'm sure you'll agree that only through such involvement and understanding can the peninsula commurity gain a flail appreciation of Bair Island's environmental values and the need for long- term, sensitive stewardship of this unique open space, in the midst of an intense urban setting. We will be formally presenting our Plan to the FWS at its public hearing on September 22nd as our official comment on that agency's restoration plan and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The comment period for the FWS plan and EIS ends on October 12, 2004. Seeing that our restoration proposal is quite consistent with the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District's stated mission, Redwood City's Plan would gain a great deal of additional standing if the District was to add its endorsement, within that comment period. Either Councilmembers Rosanne Foust or Barbara Pierce, or I will be calling you shortly so we can discuss how we might best proceed. In addition to the City's Plan, I have also attached excerpts from our presentation to the City Council: an outline of the City's goals for Bair Island, a comparison of elements of our Plan with that of FWS, the City's recommendations, and an encouraging letter from Craig Manson, Assistant Secretary for Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, in the U.S. Department of the Interior.
