Authorization to Pay for Election Services Rendered in Connection with the Local Agency
Formation Commission Registered Voter Protest of th Coastside Protection Program in the
Amount of$26,486.69 '
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMME DATION
Authorize the General Manager to pay for election services rendered in connection with the
Local Agency Formation Commission Registered Voter Protest of the Coastside Protection
Program in the amount of$26,486.69.
DISCUSSION
On June 5, 2003 the Board adopted the Resolution of Application for Annexation and Sphere of
Influence Amendment for the Coastside Protection Program (see Report R-03-54). The
annexation process, which was conducted by the San Mateo Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCo), included holding a protest hearing in which landowners and voters from
within the annexation area could submit written protest. The protest hearing on the Coastside
Protection Program was held on June 11, 2004. The San Mateo County Election Office was
responsible for validating registered voter signatures on the written protests, counting the
protests and reporting the results to LAFCo, as well as to the Superior Court.
The total cost of these services that have been billed to the District is $26,486.69. There are
sufficient funds in the fiscal year 2004-2005 Planning Department budget, Program 37
(Coastside Protection) to pay for the election services rendered.

AGENDA ITEM 4
AGENDA ITEM
Approve revision of the position classification title ano"gpecification for:
Community Programs Supervisor; and /
Land Acquisition Manager.
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECO DATION
1. Amend the Position Classification and Compensation Plan to change the titles of the
Community Programs Supervisor position to Community Affairs Supervisor, and the
Land Acquisition Manager to Real Property Manager.
2. Approve amendment of the class specification for each of the above positions to reflect
changed responsibilities.
DISCUSSION
Community Programs Supervisor: The Community Programs Supervisor position became
vacant this past spring and at that time the District hired an outside consultant, Management
p P g g
Partners, Inc., to conduct an organizational analysis of the department. Based upon
recommendations from this consultant as well as discussions with the management team, the
functions of this position have been changed somewhat. Although the position's primary
functions all remain, the position has been broadened to include some responsibility for media
relations. Also added to the class specification is responsibility for monitoring the District's
website to ensure consistency and appropriateness of the message. These changes, while
somewhat minor, suggest that the position is better titled as Community Affairs rather than
Community Programs (Supervisor).
Land Acquisitions Manager: In August 2003,the Board approved the reorganization of the
Acquisition Department to include filling the vacant Land Acquisitions Manager position. The
change in the department's name from Land Acquisition,to Real Property occurred as part of the
annual budget approval process in March 2004. The class specification for the manager position
needs to be updated to reflect the departmental name change and spell out the various programs
that fall within the scope of the position.

AGENDA ITEM 5
AGENDA ITEM
Authorize the General Manager to increase the contract aplQunt by $2,480 for the redesign of the
District's Web Site with Yellowduckdesign, Inc. from e original contract amount authorized by
the Board of$28,000, for a total of$30,480.
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the General Manager to increase the contract amount by $2,480 for the redesign of the
District's Web Site with Yellowduckdesign, Inc. for a total contract price of$30,480.
DISCUSSION
At the May 26, 2004 Board Meeting, the Board approved a contract with Yellowduckdesign, Inc.
in the amount of$28,000 to redesign the District's web site. After approval of the contract,
District staff found that Yellowduckdesign, Inc. had made a$1,120 calculation error in the
nonprofit/public agency discount. Thus, the purchase order was written for only $26,880.
During the course of building the new site, District staff decided that it was important to include
planning project updates and notices in the Content Management System (CMS). This system
was built to allow staff, with limited web skills, to post information that is updated frequently,
such as Board meeting agendas, minutes, reports, press releases, and outdoor activities. The total
cost for adding planning updates to the CMS tool is $900.
Then, prior to the launch of the new site scheduled for October 13, 2004, our Internet Service
Provider(ISP), Bell South, decided to migrate our web site data to a new server. The data
migration was done incorrectly, and as a result, the District lost the database structure that the
consultants had built for the new web site and the CMS. The consultants spent numerous hours
working to resolve this problem with the ISP, including time spent dealing directly with their
technicians and time spent recovering the data that was "lost" according to the ISP, as a result of
the data migration. Yellowduckdesign worked above and beyond contractual expectations in
order to resolve this problem and they will not charge District for the time and labor spent with
the ISP to recover our data. This is a very significant cost savings to the District and staff very
much appreciates their consideration and assistance with this difficult and time-consuming
process.
Despite this, and the fact that Yellowduckdesign was able to recover our data, additional work
needs to be done to rebuild the database structure that was lost in the data migration process.
They now need to "repopulate"the database and repost the web site pages. The additional cost
to the District to rebuild the database structure and repost the web site pages is $2,700.

Finally, as a result of the problems caused by the ISP and at the recommendation of the
consultants,the District has switched to a new ISP called Aplus.net. This company is ranked
highly among other ISPs nation-wide, is known for a high level of customer service and
reliability, and has a lower monthly fee than Bell South.
Please find below a breakdown of the costs and purchase order increase:
$28,000.00 - Board Approved Contract Amount
$26,880.00 - Original Purchase Order Amount Reflecting True Discount
$ 1,120.00 - Savings
+ $ 900.00 - Planning Project Updates addition to CMS
+ $ 2,700.00 - Work needed to fix problems caused by ISP
+ $ 3,600.00 Amendment to Purchase Order
Total increase in excess of original Board approved contract amount= $2,480.00

Open Space District Approves Redrawn
Ward Boundaries
-- Wards 6 and 7 to Represent Coastside Residents --
LOS ALTOS, CA [November 10, 2004] —The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District's Board of
Directors voted last night 6 to 1 on a final redistricting plan,which has resulted in two wards, Wards 6
and 7, expanded to represent about 30,000 constituents in the Coastside Protection Area.
Reapportionment of the ward boundaries was necessary in order to democratically represent coastside
residents who became District constituents when the Coastside Protection Program became official on
September 7,2004.
The District's commitment to establishing a public participation process for reapportionment of the
District's Ward boundaries was noticed in a February 2004 District Resolution, and was also a condition
of the San Mateo Local Agency Formation Commission's(LAFCo)approval of the Coastside Protection
Program in April of this year. In late October and early November, the District held public meetings in
Half Moon Bay, Pescadero,and at the District's Skyline Boulevard field office to obtain public input on
how the District's ward boundaries should be redrawn.
A total of about 30 people attended the public meetings and personally gave input on the redistricting
alternatives to include the Coastside Protection Area,and another 20 people provided input via a survey
on the District's Web site. Results of the public comment clearly showed the one-Ward and two-Ward
scenarios were the top choices of coastsiders for democratic representation of their community.
Ward 6 Director Larry Hassett,who is the only Board member who currently lives adjacent to some of
the District's open space land, and whose Ward is now one of two Wards extended to include part of the
Coastside Protection Area said, "Although the one-Ward scenario was a consideration among coastside
residents,the two-Ward scenario is a tribute to the coast. Receiving many inquiries from the public during
this process made me realize that having two directors represent the coastside would allow the sharing of
the workload and provide greater Board availability and access for coastside residents."
The San Mateo County Farm Bureau echoed a similar opinion and supported the two-Ward scenario
because under this configuration there would be a Board member election every two years,rather than
every four years,providing greater opportunity for a coastside resident to become a District Board
member.
I
j By law,the Open Space District is limited to a maximum of seven wards,each of which has to contain
roughly the same number of people. Since the Coastside Protection Area includes a population of about
30,000,the District had to reapportion all of the existing wards to include the new constituents and make
sure that each Ward contained approximately 100,000 individuals.

Katherine Anderton
Executive Director
Save-the-Redwoods League
114 Sansome Street, Room 1200
San Francisco, CA 94104-3823
Dear Ms. Anderton:
In commemoration of the District's 1990 International Open Space Conference,held at
the Hyatt Rickeys in Palo Alto, Save-the-Redwoods League and the District dedicated a
memorial grove off the Purisima Creek Trail in the Purisima Creek Redwoods Open
Space Preserve. It was dedicated as the"International Open Space Conference Memorial
Grove," and it is shown as such in the grove map. The District would like to propose a
renaming of this grove as the"Wangari Mura Maathai Grove." Denise Price at your
office advised us to send this letter as the formal request to rename this memorial grove.
Ms. Maathai, founder of Africa's Green Belt Movement was a key and very inspirational
speaker at the International Open Space Conference. Recently, she was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize,becoming the first African woman and the first conservationist to win
the world's most prestigious civilian honor. More than 30 million trees have been
planted across Africa in the nearly three decades since the Green Belt Movement began.
Philanthropist Richard Goldman from the Bay Area noted: " She believes in the
environment and worked at it, and on top of that did a lot of wonderful work in human
rights. She is the consummate good citizen." Since Ms. Maathai contributed significantly
to the International Open Space Conference and has dedicated almost 30 years of her life
to preserving the environment, it would only be fitting to rename this grove in her honor.
Please let us know if there is any further action needed by the District, or if you should
have any questions. If you are in agreement, I would report this matter to the Board of
Direct .for a formal resolution.
Sin rely,
L. Craig Britton, General Manager

Dear Mr. Radosevich
I am writing to express Water Board staffs' 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. Our Region's Basin plan has
identified these as existing beneficial uses for the named subwatersheds in coastal San Mateo.
The first S282,500 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
dominant 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 151-acre Rapley Ranch property,home to eight special status species, on the
northern boundary of the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. A predominant 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. 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 along a
predominant creek in San Mateo County.
These factors make the acquisition and preservation of the Arroyo Leon and Rapley Ranch properties a
high priority for the District, and we 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.

MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF OPEN SPACE PRESERVATION
November 15,2004
Honorable Arnold Schwarzenegger
Governor, State of California
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Governor Schwarzenegger:
On behalf of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District,I am writing to express my concern regarding the
State's new policy to halt all new land acquisitions by State Parks, WCB, and conservancies,if ownership and
management of those lands will impose any new costs on the state.
Apparently,this new policy is based on the premise that the Department of Parks and Recreation does not have
sufficient funds to maintain the land once it has been purchased. Yet, since 1998, fees for use of state parks have
increased by$17 million,but this has been offset by a$17 million reduction in state general funds to support parks.
During this period,the state's general fund has increased by 25%,while the amount going to the Department of
Parks and Recreation declined by 16%. If usage fees for the state's parks were further increased and remained
within the Department of Parks and Recreation,funds for land management of current and future properties would
not be an issue.
Granted,there are means for the state to purchase lands in areas with wealthy donors,but this creates a situation
where park expansion will be determined by the wealth of an area and interested donors,not the needs of the public
or the value of the natural resources to be protected.
As you may know,California's population continues to expand at a rate of 600,000 people per year and demand for
State parks is at an all time high. State parks had 86 million visitors last year.Beaches and campgrounds are
booked months in advance. The State park system is not just a priceless environmental asset; it is a major
economic asset as well, generating over$2.6 billion in visitor spending and more than$6 billion in total economic
activity for the State.
In 2000 and 2002,California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 12 and 40,which provides for$10.1
billion dollars for new parkland acquisition and recreation programs. It is evident that Californians recognize the
value and need for a state park system that not only grows along with the state,but also is a valuable asset to its
citizens.
It is essential for the California State Park system to grow and expand to fit the needs of its constituents. Therefore,
I respectfully request that you revisit this policy.This proposed moratorium on new or expanded parks runs counter
to the wishes of California's voters.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS BY DATE
Date
4 J. Smith, F. Reneau, and T. Lausten were hiking in the Rincon Creek drainage of Sierra Azul
when they discovered an abandoned marijuana cultivation site. They found dead plants in the
seedling stage. The site appears to have been used for several years and expanded this year.
Near to the cultivation area there was a campsite with sleeping bags, trash, hoses, fertilizer,
pesticide, and food. A report was completed and the Santa Clara County Marijuana Task Force
was notified.
5 A sports car driven at a high rate of speed failed to negotiate a turn on State Highway 84 near the
Red Barn. The vehicle struck a power pole, crashed through the white plank fence and rolled
over into the La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve. The downed power line caused a two-to
three-acre grass fire. The driver was transported to the hospital by LifeFlight air ambulance. He
was also arrested by the CHP for driving under the influence of alcohol and was cited for various
Vehicle Code violations. Skyline field staff will be working on fence repairs, and will be
seeking reimbursement for costs associated with the incident.
7 At El Corte de Madera a trail used for motorcycle hill-climbing, that had been closed and
restored twice before, was reopened. Branches and vegetation placed to restore and block the
trail were removed. R. Carlson.
9 B. Guzman was investigating a suspicious vehicle parked on Reynolds Road, adjacent to Sierra
Azul, when a subject ran up the road. The subject was carrying a shirt which smelled strongly of
marijuana. A Santa Clara County Sheriff's deputy field interviewed the subject, and a search of
the vehicle revealed gardening equipment possibly used for growing marijuana. The subject was
identified and released.
9 B. Malone was patrolling on Mt. Umunhum Rd. He contacted two groups of four people in
Sierra Azul for after-hours violations. One group was released after finding no additional
violations. The other group was held while investigating alcohol, driving without a license, and
possible drug violations. Santa Clara County Sheriffs' Office responded and arrested one man
for being under the influence.
10 A property line dispute occurred with a Sierra Azul neighbor. The neighbor had blocked a
District trail, and had a friend staff the roadblock. The friend provided information from a title
company, which stated that the property line crossed the trail and that two surveys done in the
1990s were in error. The roadblock was photographed and the information was forwarded to
District Encroachmen
t Specialist.
T. Fischer,Dis p
11 A contractor for P.G. &E. doing electrical line tree clearance work drove a vehicle down a
portion of Lost Trail at Los Trancos. He damaged riparian habitat and a wood boardwalk.
Follow up is being done with P.G. &E. to ensure that the incident is not repeated, and that
appropriate repairs are made. J. Lloyd.
13 At Windy Hill a person was issued a citation for having two dogs off leash in a prohibited area.
L. Paterson and K. Carlson were present. While the citation was being issued, one of the dogs
charged one of the rangers and barked in a very aggressive manner. The person was warned
regarding a nuisance or aggressive dog. The owner did not have a leash with him.
14 B. Guzman observed a vehicle at a Sierra Azul gate. Previously, the same vehicle was
associated with a person digging for artifacts in the same area. He was given a verbal warning
during the previous incident. B. Guzman hiked to the previous location and discovered the same
person digging with a screwdriver and smoking. He said he was an amateur archeologist. The
plot, about 10 feet by 15 feet, had soil erosion, torn up roots, and a large portion of dead grass.
The area showed damage to the soil and to the artifacts it contained. The man was cited, warned
for smoking, and released.
18 A neighbor of Pulgas Ridge called to report a suspicious structure on the preserve seen from her
house. A. Correia and M. Newburn investigated. They found a small greenhouse and a
marijuana plant and some seedlings. The plants were destroyed on scene and the trash removed.
23 San Mateo County sheriff's deputies responded to a citizen report of people shooting in the
Higgins-Purisima area of Purisima Creek Redwoods. Rangers arrived and cited the three people
being held by deputies for alcohol and weapons violations. A deputy took possession of the 22
caliber Winchester rifle which the suspects had been firing into the preserve. E. Wickham,
B. Downing.

20 A gate was rammed and a locking post pulled out at Bear Creek Redwoods.
23 At Bear Creek Redwoods plywood was pulled off doors and a window was broken.
