General Manager’s Recommendation: Enter into an agreement with Grassroots Ecology in the

interpretive work during a three-year period at Cooley Landing Park, which includes portions of
Ravenswood Open Space Preserve. The full scope of work is eligible for Measure AA
reimbursement.
Director Harris inquired if the work had already been completed and whether the scope of work
includes maintenance. Additionally, Director Harris asked for information regarding the
District’s ongoing partnership with the City of East Palo Alto for Cooley Landing.
Senior Planner Tina Hugg explained the work has not been completed and is a replacement of
the temporary installation. The plantings are new installations rather than maintenance, which is
why the project is eligible for Measure AA reimbursement.
Assistant General Manager Ana Ruiz explained the District is continuing to work with East Palo
Alto for the next phase of the park plan, which also includes a portion of the Ravenswood Open
Space Preserve.
Director Riffle spoke in favor of the item and requested additional information regarding long

BOARD BUSINESS
4. Public Hearing to Receive Public Comments on the Bear Creek Redwoods Preserve
Plan Draft Environmental Impact Report (R-16-117)
Director Riffle reported the District purchased the property from the Peninsula Open Space Trust
19 years ago, and there are no ongoing financial implications between the two organizations
related to the agenda item. Director Riffle consulted with General Counsel who did not identify a
conflict of interest related to Director Riffle’s participation in the Board’s deliberation on the
item; therefore, he will not be recusing himself from the item.
Planner III Lisa Bankosh provided an overview of the Bear Creek Redwoods Preserve Plan,
including the planning process to date and each of the proposed three implementation phases.
For Alma College, the District plans a fiscally-sustainable clean-up and rehabilitation plan which
allows the site’s cultural significance to be understood and safely enjoyed by the public. There
Meeting 16-24 Page 4
are several constraints associated with fault lines beneath the Alma College site prohibiting some
reuse options for the site.
Planner III Gretchen Laustsen provided an overview of the elements of the Bear Creek Stables
site plan including improvement standards, management guidelines, public access programs and
improvements, and maintenance and operations improvements. The Board previously selected
Phased Alternative A2 as the preferred alternative for Bear Creek Stables.
Director Hanko suggested including interpretive elements to provide more knowledge regarding
the San Andreas Fault.
Ms. Bankosh explained there is the opportunity to include interpretive elements at Alma College
to help educate the public about the San Andreas Fault.
Director Siemens thanked staff for their work on their project and spoke in favor of the design
work already underway.
Director Riffle spoke in favor of the preserve plan and the phasing of the project.
Director Harris spoke in favor of the preserve plan, the phasing of the projects, and the
preservation of the cultural resources. Director Harris requested additional information related to
seeking additional historical designation for Alma College.
Ms. Bankosh explained the District will be researching the process, especially related to funding
resources related to any additional historical listing.
President Kishimoto commented on the different areas and improvements for the public and
private access areas and whether Measure AA funding would be used for those improvements.
Ms. Laustsen explained when the improvements return to the Board for approval, the costs can
be listed separately for the private and public improvements.
President Kishimoto commented on possible increased erosion and sedimentation due to new
trails.
Ms. Bankosh explained staff has a goal of an overall reduction in sedimentation for the preserve.
President Kishimoto inquired regarding the restoration of the Alma College building if a partner
is not found.
Ms. Bankosh explained Santa Clara County only requires stabilization of the buildings, and any
additional rehabilitation and potential reuse options require additional grant or partner funding.
Mike Parker of Ascent Environmental provided an overview of the CEQA process to date and
described the purposed of an environmental impact report (EIR). The preserve plan was designed
to mitigate impacts through avoidance, minimization, compensation, and adaptive management.
Mr. Parker described several impacts that were mitigated to less than significant, including
biological resources, cultural resources, hazardous materials, and dam safety.
Meeting 16-24 Page 5
Gary Jakobs of Ascent Environmental described the significant and unavoidable impacts
associated with the demolition of historic structures associated with the “Alma College
Complex.” Mitigation includes documentation of the 1950 library, utility garage, and 1934
library prior to removal, but the impacts to historic structures would remain significant and
unavoidable after mitigation. Mr. Jakobs described the alternatives evaluated in the EIR.
Ms. Bankosh provided an overview of CEQA process and described various methods for the
public to provide input.
Director Riffle asked how parking needs would be addressed.
Ms. Bankosh explained additional parking areas are planned for phase three; however, if demand
is high, the parking areas could potentially be completed earlier in the project. The size of the
parking areas could also be increased.
President Kishimoto opened the public hearing opened at 8:26 p.m.
Nancy Cole spoke in favor of the preserve plan and spoke regarding hiking along the Sanborn
trail and suggested trails in the eastern side of the preserve not be multi-use.
Jenny Whitman thanked staff and the District for their work on the preserve plan and thanked
staff for working with Bear Creek Stables in developing it. Finally, Ms. Whitman read a letter
from Rick Parfitt of the Santa Clara Fire Safe Council regarding wildfire protection.
Jane Krejci from the Mountain School spoke in favor of partnerships and thanked staff for their
efforts.
Melany Moore spoke in favor of the process.
Peter Hargreaves thanked staff for their work. Mr. Hargreaves asked if residents who live near
the southwest corner of the preserve would have access there to the western portion of the
preserve. Additionally, would the eastern portion trails remain open by permit once western
portion opens.
Sharon Chalmai Strong asked if western portion of the preserve will be available to hikers and
equestrians by permit before it is open to public. Also, will there be connection between east and
west sides of the preserve at intersection of summit and Bear Creek Rd, and can the presentation
center trail be connected to the trail network at an earlier phase?
Pam Ashford thanked staff for the District’s wildfire protection efforts at Bear Creek Stables.
Frank Bakonyi spoke in favor of water storage at the Bear Creek Stables, separation of the public
from the private boarders at Bear Creek Stables, allowing public events on site for possible
fundraising, and increased parking areas for visitors.
President Kishimoto closed the public hearing closed at 8:42 p.m.
Director Hassett thanked staff for their work on the preserve plan and EIR. Director Hassett
spoke regarding increased traffic along mountain roads.
Meeting 16-24 Page 6
Ms. Bankosh responded to public comments regarding access in the southwest corner of the
preserve stating road safety and terrain conditions prevent access at this time. Permit access to
the eastern portion will continue for stable boarders and neighbors. All other permit access for
the eastern portion will end after the western side opens because when construction begins on the
eastern side, it will be unsafe for the public to be in the construction areas.
Director Cyr thanked staff for their work on the project, especially related to the historic analysis
of Alma College.
Director Kishimoto thanked staff for their efforts.
Director Siemens suggested inclusion of a temporary gravel parking lot in the northern area of
the preserve if demand is high.
No Board action required.

AGENDA ITEM 3
AGENDA ITEM
Award of Contract with Pro-West and Associates, Inc. for the Enterprise GIS Planning and
Implementation Project
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Authorize the General Manager to enter into a multi-year professional services contract with
Pro-West and Associates, Inc. to plan and implement an enterprise geographic information
system for a not-to-exceed base contract amount of $152,000.
2. Authorize an 8% contingency of $13,000 to cover unforeseen requirements, for a not-to-
exceed total contract amount of $165,000.
3. Authorize an allowance of $68,000 to cover custom application development in FY2017-18
IF the District is satisfied with consultant performance in the current fiscal year.
SUMMARY
In July, 2016 District staff released a Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQP) for a
third-party consultant to design and implement an Enterprise GIS system. Development of this
system, as recommended by the IST Strategic Plan, will improve access to GIS information
across all departments, support mobile field data collection and customized web map viewers,
improve GIS data management and workflows, and interface with upcoming business systems.
Based on the results of the issued RFQP, the General Manager recommends awarding a contract
to Pro-West and Associates, Inc. for a total amount not-to-exceed $233,000 covering the contract
and allowance.
MEASURE AA
This is not a Measure AA project.
DISCUSSION
Enterprise GIS implementation consists of software upgrades, GIS file format conversions, and
GIS workflow redesign. This system upgrade is necessary to integrate GIS with current and
future business systems (i.e. real property database and work order/asset management systems)
and improve GIS data access and management. This upgrade will provide the underlying
technology infrastructure to support the following operational efficiencies:
R-16-124 Page 2
• Increased access to GIS data - GIS data will be put directly in the hands of District
staff, via easy-to-use web map viewers. This will provide project managers with
improved decision-making abilities, eliminate wait time for GIS Staff availability,
and reduce the number of requests on GIS Staff.
• Improved asset inventory - Asset mapping will be streamlined through new mobile
technology that allows location-based information to be collected directly into the
Enterprise GIS. This will help keep asset inventories up-to-date and provide the
foundation for a work order database.
• Improved historical GIS record tracking - Auto-archiving technology will be
implemented, streamlining historical record keeping. This will allow staff to quickly
view changes in preserve physical features over time (i.e. trail re-alignments, preserve
expansions, etc.).
• Standardized reporting - GIS staff will create a web viewer that will provide quick
and easy access of District geographic metrics to District staff (i.e. trail mileage,
acreages, natural resource information).
• Improved data management - The new centralized enterprise GIS database will
facilitate best practices for database management and allow for multiple users to view
and edit the same datasets simultaneously.
The IST Strategic Plan recommends utilizing a third-party subject matter expert (SME) to design
and implement this Enterprise GIS. Due to the complexity of this system, a SME is required to
advise and implement best practices in order to create a robust and stable system. Part of this
contract includes knowledge transfer and training, enabling GIS staff to maintain the system into
the future. Additionally, the District has identified areas (real property databases) for custom
GIS application development. IST proposes to authorize an allowance of $68,000 with Pro-West
and Associates, Inc. to aid in GIS technology self-service and web mapping applications.
Consultant Selection
A Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQP) was released on July 11, 2016 via direct e-
mail and posting on the District website to solicit interest from qualified professionals to assist
with Enterprise GIS Planning and Implementation. A total of 13 proposals were received. Upon
review of the proposals and the consultant’s qualifications, staff selected four (4) consultant
teams for interviews on September 7 and 8, 2016.
Pro-West and Associates, Inc. was deemed the most qualified and best suited for the project
based on their response to the RFQP, proposed approach, and responses during the subsequent
interview. The top reason for the selection of Pro-West was their team’s extensive experience
with implementing similar Enterprise GIS projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
The District’s FY2016-17 Budget and Action Plan includes $165,000 for the Enterprise GIS
Planning and Implementation Project, and $77,000 for Enterprise GIS Software to be purchased
in 2017. The IST Department FY2017-18 request for Board consideration will include $68,000
for the continued work by the selected customized application development firm.
The following table is provided to outline the fiscal impact of this Enterprise GIS Planning and
Implementation project:

AGENDA ITEM 4
AGENDA ITEM
Contract Amendment for Highway 17 Wildlife Passage Structures and Bay Area Ridge Trail
Crossing to Prepare a Project Initiation Document.
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the General Manager to amend a contract with TrailPeople, located in Benicia,
California, adding $138,200, plus a 30% contingency in the amount of $41,460 to be reserved to
meet additional analyses if requested by Caltrans, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $299,660,
to prepare the Caltrans Project Initiation Document required to advance the Highway 17 Wildlife
Passage Structures and Bay Area Ridge Trail Crossing Project (Project) through the next phase.
SUMMARY
TrailPeople was originally retained by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District)
to complete a Feasibility Study for the Project through Board Authorization on February 24,
2016 (R-16-18). TrailPeople has successfully completed the Project Preliminary Alternatives
Report for the project. In addition, the District has entered into a Cooperative Agreement with
Caltrans to provide oversight of a consultant-prepared Project Initiation Document (PID).
Working with Caltrans on major projects is fundamentally different from many other District
projects in that each successive step in the process requires its own cooperative agreement and
funding with Caltrans. The next phase of the Project is to complete, with consultant assistance,
the Caltrans Project Initiation Document (PID), which is the preliminary project description
document required for a project that impacts a state highway under the jurisdiction of Caltrans.
The TrailPeople’s contract to complete the PID is for a not-to-exceed amount of $299,660 and is
expected to be completed within 12 months.
MEASURE AA
A 5-year Measure AA Project List was approved by the Board at their October 29, 2014 meeting
and includes Project #20 South Bay Foothills: Wildlife Passage and Ridge Trail Improvements.
This proposed agreement serves the goals of Projects #20-1 and #20-2 by addressing restoration
in the conceptual design and feasibility study of the Highway 17 Wildlife and Bay Area Ridge
Trail crossing(s) through preliminary scoping, design, CEQA, and permitting analysis.
DISCUSSION
In February of 2016, the District and its consultant team, TrailPeople began reviewing
background data and information to prepare project alternatives to improve wildlife access and
R-16-126 Page 2
connect the Bay Area Ridge Trail across Highway 17. TrailPeople prepared concept level
designs for four different project locations to improve connections for wildlife and recreational
users across Highway 17 in the area between Los Gatos and Lexington Hills.
A Preliminary Alternatives Report (Report) was completed and presented to the Board on July
27, 2016 (R-16-84). In the Report, TrailPeople incorporated stakeholder comments and
identified construction opportunities and constraints for four project alternatives. They also
presented the Report at a public meeting to gauge public support for each of the alternatives. To
aid the District in selecting preferred alternatives, TrailPeople has prepared an evaluation
summary and cost estimates for each of the conceptual alternatives.
On August 24, 2016 (R-16-105) the District’s Board of Directors authorized the District to enter
into a Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans to provide oversight of a consultant prepared PID.
Staff had requested a scope and cost estimate from TrailPeople for completing the Caltrans PID
phase of the project. The original estimate from TrailPeople exceeded the amount estimated by
staff and budgeted for this fiscal year. However, TrailPeople was able to reduce their proposed
cost by $82,946 from their original proposal through the selection of a different civil engineering
firm.
Due to TrailPeople’s ability to seek solutions and reduce costs, the General Manager
recommends amending the contract with TrailPeople instead of re-bidding this portion of the
project. TrailPeople’s knowledge of the project to date and knowledge of stakeholder concerns
would not be equaled by an entirely new team without incurring additional costs. This contract
amendment will allow TrailPeople to complete the PID using much of the information from the
Preliminary Alternatives Report and to include all four project alternatives as well as a “no
project” alternative (per Caltrans standards). The timeline for completion of the PID phase is no
more than 12 months from contract amendment authorization.
The Caltrans PID process requires preliminary analyses of many project components, including
geotechnical, hydrologic, environmental, biological, and traffic. Preliminary discussions with
Caltrans regarding the exact scope for the PID indicated that the scope for this phase of the
project might be focused and constrained to help keep costs contained. However, because the
exact scope for completing the PID per Caltrans standards is not yet known and contains a higher
than usual amount of uncertainty, TrailPeople, with staff verification, have estimated 30% in
contingency funds could be necessary to provide funding for unanticipated tasks required by
Caltrans to complete the PID as a part of this contract amendment. The total amount requested
under the current proposal (including contingency) is $179,660. While the contingency
percentage is high, the actual dollar amount of $41,460 is small given the project magnitude and
complexity. Contingency funds will only be used to meet additional analyses requested by
Caltrans, which may include: a formal traffic study (estimated at $5,000 to $20,000), a scenic
resources evaluation ($6,000), or significant changes to the alternatives or their design due to
Caltrans oversight (up to $30,000).
FISCAL IMPACT
The District’s FY 2017 Budget and Action Plan includes $295,300 for the Highway 17 Wildlife
Passage Structures and Bay Area Ridge Trail Crossing project (MAA 20-001), with the Natural
Resource’s Department budget accounting for $270,300 of the total project budget.
R-16-126 Page 3
Based on conversations with Caltrans, expenditures for oversight activities are anticipated to be
less than the approved Agreement amount. Therefore, staff anticipates that there is sufficient
funding available in the FY 2017 budget for the first year of the multi-year contract with
TrailPeople. As work progresses, staff will monitor expenditures, and will request a budget
adjustment to complete the work tasks in this contract, if necessary.
*$77,348 expensed in FY 2016
The contract with TrailPeople is a multi-year contract, and will extend into FY 2018. The
proposed FY 2018 budget will include additional funds for the remaining scope of services
associated with this multi-year contract.

BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW
The Preliminary Alternatives Report and conceptual designs for the four project alternatives was
presented to the full Board on July 27, 2016. A Planning and Natural Resources (PNR)
Committee and public open house was held on August 2, 2016 to present more in depth
information for each of the alternatives and receive public feedback on the project.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice was provided as required by the Brown Act. No additional notice is required.
However, notification, including this report, will also be sent to the Highway 17 interested
parties list, important stakeholders, and project partners. A notification mailing was sent on
October 7, 2016.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
Completion of a Caltrans PID is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality
Act because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment [CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2)]. Once preferred alternatives are formally

R-16-126 Page 4
selected, project implementation will be subject to CEQA. The next phase of the project will
include preparation of a CEQA document to implement the preferred alternatives.
NEXT STEPS
If the contract amendment is approved, TrailPeople will begin working with Caltrans and the
District to develop a communications plan and to prepare the PID. Formal adoption of the
preferred alternatives by the Board and Caltrans programming will occur at the conclusion of the
PID phase. The next phase of the project will be Environmental Review and Permitting, which
may be undertaken by the District using a competitively selected consultant, by Caltrans directly,
or using a combination of the two. The decision for which entity will lead the next phase will be
made during the PID phase through an additional co-operative agreement for the next phase of
the project that will be brought before the Board for approval.
Because this contract amendment will begin the Caltrans project process, a summary of the steps
is provided below. It is also worth noting that Caltrans requires a Cooperative Agreement for
each phase, which are as follows:
1. Project Initiation (PID)
2. Environmental Review and Permitting
3. Plans, Specifications, and Estimate
4. Construction
Additional agreements may also be needed both with the District or other agencies to formalize
right-of-way or utility issues and/or patrol and maintenance agreements.
Public and agency comments received for each of the alternatives will be reviewed at the
October 18, 2016 PNR Committee meeting. At this meeting, the PNR Committee will have the
opportunity select and recommend preferred alternatives. These alternatives will remain the
“tentatively preferred” alternatives unless new information is uncovered during the Caltrans PID
phase. At the completion of the PID, they will be brought before the full Board for formal
adoption. If any major deviations are proposed, staff will return to the PNR Committee before
advancing to the full Board for formal adoption. The PID preferred alternatives will successfully
move into the next Caltrans phase of the project (Environmental Review and Permitting). At that
phase, the project will be more narrowly defined and the required tasks will have a much higher
degree of certainty. Future consultant work will be contracted through a new competitive
process at that time.

AGENDA ITEM 5
AGENDA ITEM
Update of the District’s Classification and Compensation Plan in Response to California Public
Employees’ Retirement System Public Agency Review
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution establishing the structure of the Classification and Compensation Plan for
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Employees and supersede resolutions which are
inconsistent.
SUMMARY
The recommended action implements cost neutral changes to the District’s Compensation and
Classification Plan as required by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System
(CalPERS) audit. The proposed changes provide more information and are minor modifications
in format, but do not make adjustments in salary or benefits.
DISCUSSION
CalPERS periodically reviews member agencies to ensure compliance with applicable section of
the California Government Code and provision of the CalPERS contract. In May 2016, the
District received a report from the CalPERS Office of Audit Services requiring changes to the
District Classification and Compensation Plan in order to meet the requirements of the California
Government Code, including:
• Specify compensation effective dates for all positions
• Include Board of Directors salaries effective from April 25, 2013
The attached Compensation and Classification resolution includes the changes and will
supersede the previous resolutions with the approval by the Board of Directors.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

AGENDA ITEM 6
AGENDA ITEM
Proposed Agreement to Exchange Interests in Real Property between the Bagher and Kefayat
Navid Trust (Navid) and the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District) for property
located along Hicks Road in unincorporated Santa Clara County (APN: 575-11-021) in exchange
for an access easement over Blackberry Hill Road located in Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve
(APN: 532-25-051).
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Determine that the recommended actions are categorically exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set out in the staff report.
2. Adopt a resolution authorizing the Agreement to Exchange Interests in Real Property
between the District and Navid at a cost of $39,000 with a corresponding authorization for a
budget adjustment/increase of the same amount.
3. Adopt the Preliminary Use and Management Plan for the exchange property.
4. Withhold dedication of the Navid exchange property as public open space at this time.
SUMMARY
If approved, under this transaction the District will acquire a 3.42-acre property located adjacent
to the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve (Preserve) through an exchange with Navid. The
District will obtain fee ownership of this unimproved private inholding in exchange for granting
to Navid a residential access easement over Blackberry Hill Road in the same Preserve. As part
of the exchange agreement approval, a line item budget adjustment/increase of $39,000 to Fiscal
Year 2016-17 budget is required, reflecting the difference between the value of the property
being acquired and the value of the easement being granted. The following report presents a
description of the real property interests being exchanged, a Preliminary Use and Management
Plan, the District’s environmental review, the exchange agreement terms, and financial
considerations.
MEASURE AA
The proposed property acquired under the exchange supports the goals of Measure AA Portfolio
#24, Sierra Azul: Rancho de Guadalupe Family Recreation, with a portfolio allocation of
$10,078,000. This project will serve to acquire and protect open space lands.
R-16-127 Page 2
DISCUSSION
Background
Blackberry Hill Road is a private two lane main access road to several single family residences
on the ridgeline above the Town of Los Gatos and traverses a section of the Preserve. Nine
existing parcels located above the District’s property have a recorded right to use Blackberry Hill
Road as their primary and sole access. A number of private undeveloped properties also use this
road as their sole access.
The District purchased the 45-acre property underlying Blackberry Hill Road in March of 1989
(see report R-89-12) and dedicated it as public open space in December of 1989. Mr. Navid
purchased a 5-acre undeveloped property in the vicinity in March of 1990 and has used
Blackberry Hill Road as the only access to his property since that time. However, when Mr.
Navid submitted an application to the County to construct a single family residence on his
property, he learned that his access right would need to be perfected.
In the fall of 2014, Mr. Navid contacted the District to perfect his claim of a prescriptive
easement over the District’s portion of Blackberry Hill Road to legally access his 5-acre property
and construct a new residence. Mr. Navid and his attorney were informed that a prescriptive
easement cannot be obtained on property owned by a government agency. Since the District’s
property is dedicated open space, the District is unable to grant an access easement as requested.
Mr. Navid was informed that the only realistic option for the District to grant the requested
easement is through an exchange of property rights of equal or of greater value than the access
easement (Public Resources Code 5540 and 5540.5). In August of 2016, a suitable exchange
scenario was developed with Mr. Navid.
Description of Exchange Property
In exchange for the District granting an access easement to Mr. Navid, the District would secure
from Mr. Navid fee ownership to a 3.42-acre property inholding within the Rancho de
Guadalupe area of the Preserve.
The unimproved 3.42-acre Navid Exchange Property (Exchange Property) is located off of Hicks
Road near Guadalupe Reservoir and surrounded on three sides by the Preserve. It is also just
above the 4.13-acre Barth property that the District purchased in June of 2016 (see report R-16-
74). The Exchange Property is situated in unincorporated Santa Clara County and across from
Guadalupe Reservoir. The Exchange Property rises to an elevation of approximately 1,000 feet
with excellent views of the higher elevations within the Preserve, Guadalupe Reservoir, and
Almaden Quicksilver County Park. Located within the Guadalupe Creek Watershed, it includes a
small tributary that flows into Guadalupe Reservoir.
The Exchange Property is vacant, with a graded dirt road that provides direct access from Hicks
Road to the interior of the property. The main access road is contained within an easement that
runs through the former Barth property where it connects with Hicks Road. The access road also
continues onto the former Guadalupe Land Company property addition to the Preserve (see
reports R-04-134 and R-12-92). With the acquisition of the Exchange Property, the District will
have full control of all access rights over the road and improve the District’s ability to manage
unauthorized uses on the Preserve.
R-16-127 Page 3
More than 50% of the Exchange Property is dominated by the Blue Oak/California Grasslands
Association. This native vegetation type is biologically highly significant due to its fire
adaptations, and is locally unique to the Santa Cruz Mountains. The remainder of the parcel is a
mix of oak woodland and other plants associated with mixed chaparral. The Exchange Property
provides varied habitat for animal species associated with lower elevations of the Preserve,
including larger mammals such as deer, coyotes, bobcats, and mountain lions. A wide variety of
bird species occupy and migrate through the general area.
Description of Access Easement to be Granted
As part of the exchange, the District would grant a 40-foot-wide residential access easement over
the District’s existing portion of Blackberry Hill Road (APN 537-08-004). Under the terms of
the easement, the District would have no responsibility for repair or maintenance of the existing
two-lane paved road within the easement. Blackberry Hill Road is the most practical and sole
access route to the Navid Property.
USE AND MANAGEMENT
Planning Considerations
The Exchange Property is comprised of one legal nonconforming parcel, located in
unincorporated Santa Clara County (County) and outside the urban service area or sphere of
influence of any incorporated municipality. The 3.42-acre parcel has a General Plan designation
of Hillside with a zoning designation of HS-d1: Hillside District - Design Review Combining
District (Santa Clara Valley Viewshed). Per the County General Plan and Zoning regulations,
recreation, open space, and natural preserves are allowable uses. A finding of compliance with
the General Plan for all open space acquisitions by the District in the County was made by the
County Planning Department in 1999.
If acquired, the Exchange Property would be incorporated into the Preserve. Subsequent
planning for the property would be coordinated with the District’s planning efforts for the
Preserve and include consultation with appropriate agencies and organizations.
The easement to be granted on the District-owned segment of Blackberry Hill Road is to provide
legal access to one legal parcel located in the unincorporated County (APN 537-08-004) with a
General Plan designation of Hillside and a zoning designation of HS-d1. Any site development
application on this parcel will be subject to zoning restrictions administered by the County’s
Planning and Development Department “intended to conserve the scenic attributes of hillside
lands most immediately visible from the valley floor.” Zoning restrictions are also “intended to
minimize the visual impacts of structures and grading on the natural topography and landscape,
using a combination of supplemental development standards, design guidelines, design review,
and use of process incentives for smaller and less visible projects.”
Preliminary Use and Management Plan
The Preliminary Use and Management Plan (PUMP) establishes a status quo land management
approach in the interim between the acquisition of the Exchange Property and the completion of
a subsequent long-term plan. The PUMP would take effect at the close of escrow and remain
effective until the PUMP is amended or a Comprehensive Use and Management Plan or Preserve
Plan is approved for the Preserve. The PUMP includes minor restoration and maintenance of the
Exchange Property in its natural condition, as described more fully below. If changes to land use
R-16-127 Page 4
or the physical environment are proposed in the future, the plan would be subject to further
environmental review and public input.
Public Access: Designate the Property as closed to public use at this time.
Signs and Site
Security:
Install preserve boundary and closed area signs.
Fences and
Gates:
Install gates and fencing on the access road to prevent unauthorized entry
and use.
Roads and
Trails:
Maintain the access route on the site in a serviceable condition. Implement
maintenance and minor erosion and sediment control measures in accordance
with District standards. Access road to be used for District patrol,
maintenance and emergency purposes.
Water Rights
and Water
Resources:
No wells, springs, or tributaries are on the property.
Patrol:
Patrol property using existing access road.
Resource
Management:
Conduct invasive plant and animal management activities consistent with the
District’s Resource Management Policies.
Wildfire Fuel
Management:
Implement standard District-wide fuel management and defensible space
practices consistent with the District’s Resource Management Policies.
Name:
Name the property as an addition to Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve.
Dedication: Withhold dedication of the subject property as open space at this time.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
Project Description
The project consists of the acquisition of the 3.42-acre Exchange Property as an addition to the
Preserve and concurrent adoption of a PUMP, including minor erosion and sediment control
measures along the existing access road to prevent erosion and water quality degradation. Minor
resource management activities may be conducted to control invasive plants. The land would be
preserved as open space and maintained in a natural condition.
In exchange, the District would grant a 40-foot wide residential access easement to Mr. Navid
over an existing private, paved, two-lane road (Blackberry Hill Road) as it crosses a portion of
District property, for the purpose of providing legal access to a landlocked private parcel.
Under the terms of the easement, the District would have no responsibility for road repair or
maintenance within the easement and provides no assurances that further CEQA analysis for
future repairs or improvements has been met. Any future roadway improvements within the
easement or development of the private parcel to be served by the easement would be subject to
the County’s zoning restrictions, land development policies, and utility service requirements.
R-16-127 Page 5
CEQA Determination
The District concludes that this project will not have a significant effect on the environment. The
project is categorically exempt from CEQA under Article 19, Sections 15301, 15316, 15317, and
15325, of the CEQA Guidelines as follows:
Section 15301 exempts operation, repair, restoration, maintenance, or minor alteration of
existing public or private structures, facilities, or topographical features as outlined in the PUMP
for the exchange property, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the
time of the lead agency’s determination.
Section 15301 also exempts the conveyance of an access easement over an existing private road
already in use by other private residents for the sole purpose of providing access to one
additional residence as this constitutes a minor alteration of use of an existing facility involving a
negligible expansion of use and having no significant impact to the environment.
Section 15316 exempts the acquisition of land to create parks if the land is in a natural condition
and the management plan proposes to keep the area in a natural condition. The Exchange
Property will remain in a natural condition, and will be designated as an addition to the Preserve.
Section 15316 Class 16 (b) exempts the transfer of land to expand a park when such conveyance
will have no significant impact to the existing natural condition of the surrounding parkland, and
the management plan (PUMP) of the Exchange Property will keep the land in a natural
condition.
Section 15317 exempts the acceptance of fee interests to maintain the open space character of an
area. The District will acquire fee interest in the Exchange Property in order to maintain the
open space character of this area of the Preserve.
Section 15325(f) exempts transfers of ownership of interests in land to preserve open space.
This acquisition will transfer fee ownership of the Exchange Property to the District to preserve
open space.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
As part of the proposed Exchange Agreement, District and Navid would agree to the following:
1. Navid to grant fee ownership of the 3.42-acre Exchange Property to the District.
2. District compensate Navid for an amount not to exceed $39,000 (half of Navid’s purchase
price of $75,000 and associated closing costs).
3. District to grant Navid a 40-foot wide residential access easement over the portion of
Blackberry Hill Road that crosses District property. Navid is responsible for maintenance and
repair of the access easement.
4. Navid is responsible for all costs associated with the exchange, including but not limited to
survey costs, escrow fees and all other third party costs related to this transaction. The
exchange of easements will be handled through escrow.
R-16-127 Page 6
The exchange of interest in real property is of equal or greater value to the District and the public
it serves, and therefore the exchange is determined to be in accordance with the District’s
enabling legislation set out in Section 5540.5 of the Public Resources code of the State of
California.
FISCAL IMPACT
Beginning in FY2016-17, the District amended its approach on budgeting for land acquisitions.
For FY2016-17, the District only budgeted for costs associated with appraisals, property
purchase research, and early negotiations. Land acquisitions brought before the Board for
approval would include a budget adjustment/increase to the adopted budget.
If approved, a budget adjustment/increase of $39,000 to the FY2016-17 budget is required.
Navid Property Exchange Amount $ 39,000
Total Land purchases approved to date for FY 2017 $2,350,000
Total Land Purchases (if approved) $2,389,000
The following table is provided to outline the Measure AA Portfolio fiscal implications related to
the Navid Property Exchange:
MAA 024 Portfolio Allocation: $10,078,000
Spent to Date: $1,001,406
Navid Property Exchange: $39,000

AGENDA ITEM 7
AGENDA ITEM
Resolution in Support of Measure K by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
Discuss and consider adoption of a resolution in support of a 20-year, ½-cent sales tax extension,
put forth by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors on the ballot for the November 8, 2016
statewide general election.
SUMMARY
On August 9, 2016, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved placing
a 20-year, ½-cent sales tax extension on the November 8, 2016 ballot in San Mateo County. The
proposition, which has been assigned the designation of “Measure K”, extends the ½-cent sales
tax passed by voters in November 2012 (Measure A) that was slated to last for ten years. It is
estimated to generate approximately $85 million per year.
To date, Measure A funds have been used for a wide variety of services and programs ranging
from affordable housing, public safety, health and human services. Notably, $5.0 million of
Measure A funds were utilized in 2015 to reinstate a separate San Mateo County’s Parks
Department, which had been consolidated with Public Works Department earlier due to budget
constraints. Recently, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors committed over $250,000
over a two-year period to pilot a shuttle program to local county parks from downtowns and
underserved communities. In addition, $1.0 million has been committed to completing a key
section of the San Francisco Bay Trail under a grant agreement with this District for its
Ravenswood Bay Trail Connection Project.
At the September 14, 2016 Board meeting, staff made the Board aware of the measure and its
potential to forward the District’s mission. A majority of the Board directed staff to research the
matter.
The Initiative is consistent with the District’s mission of open space preservation and habitat
restoration in that it would continue to serve as a source of significant, flexible funds for park
and open space-related activities as it has demonstrated in its commitments to date.
MEASURE AA
It is difficult to determine its applicability to Measure AA projects due to the flexible nature of
the funds. $1.0 million has been committed to completing a key section of the San Francisco
Bay Trail, which falls under Measure AA Priority Action #2.
R-16-128 Page 2
DISCUSSION
Background:
Government budgets across the country were severely impacted with the great recession of 2008.
Significant reductions in property tax revenues had a major impact on San Mateo County’s
ability to deliver basic services and sustain important local priority programs. In an effort to
bridge this funding gap, the San Mateo Board of Supervisors went to county voters with a 10-
year, ½-cent sales tax measure in 2012 (Measure A). As a general sales and use tax it required a
50% plus one approval threshold. It passed with 65.4% approval. It was expected to generate
about $60 million per year, but instead has generated approximately $80 million per year.
Even though the local economy, and property tax revenues, have rebounded to new highs, the
problems the county faces – especially in supporting its lowest income residents – persist. State
and federal funding assistance continues to be challenging, so local measures have an appeal.
The ballot language for Measure K mirrors 2012’s Measure A language.
To date, under Measure A, it appears to have maintained its commitment to meeting its intended
expenditure goals. Tracking of expenditures has been made available on its public Measure A
website: http://cmo.smcgov.org/measureA
If approved by voters, the Initiative is expected to generate approximately $85 million a year for
26 years (Measure A remainder plus Measure K). The measure requires approval by a 50% plus
one majority of voters in San Mateo County.
Proposal:
The question to be put before voters is:
To ensure San Mateo County quality of life by retaining/improving critical
facilities/services, such as: providing affordable homes for seniors, people with
disabilities, veterans, families; enhancing public transit; combatting human trafficking;
addressing sea level rise; maintaining safe schools and neighborhoods; high-quality
preschool and reading programs; park maintenance; and low-income healthcare, shall
San Mateo County extend the existing half-cent sales tax, without increasing the rate,
providing $85,000,000 annually for 20 years that the State cannot take away?
For the Board to consider taking a position on this measure, the following criteria contained
within Board Policy 1.11 “Positions on Ballot Measures and Legislative Advocacy” must be met:
“The Board may consider taking a position on the measure/proposition if the
measure/proposition:
i. Would directly impact the District’s finances, responsibilities, legal
authority, or operations; AND
ii. Is in line with or inconsistent with the District’s mission and/or
commitment to preserve open space within its boundaries and sphere of
influence. “
R-16-128 Page 3
The primary means by which this measure is consistent with Board Policy is through its
demonstrated commitment to fund the San Mateo County Parks Department and its goals.
Although future allocations may not be guaranteed, but as stated in the measure’s language
“parks maintenance” and “addressing sea level rise” are part of their stated objectives. The
county has already made monetary commitments to District Priority Actions.
A more indirect, but also significant, benefit to the District is San Mateo County’s use of these
funds for the enhancement of affordable housing opportunities to area low-income residents.
This will help to minimize sprawl and reduce commute-related greenhouse gas generation.
To date, almost 80 San Mateo County elected officials have endorsed this measure, along with
over 40 community organizations. Notable endorsements come from the Committee for Green
Foothills, Greenbelt Alliance, League of Women Voters of San Mateo County, Peninsula Open
Space Trust, and the San Mateo County Parks Foundation.
A list of arguments in support and opposed to the measure, including an impartial analysis,
appears on the San Mateo County Elections Office website at:

AGENDA ITEM 8
AGENDA ITEM
Resolution in Support of Measure A by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
Discuss and consider adoption of a resolution in support of the bond measure put forth by the
Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors on the ballot for the November 8, 2016 statewide
general election.
SUMMARY
On June 23, 2016, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved placing a
$950 million bond proposition on the November 8, 2016 ballot in Santa Clara County. The
proposition, which has been assigned the designation of “Measure A”, will serve to help create a
variety of affordable housing opportunities with the majority of the funds targeted at assisting the
lowest income residents and homeless.
At the September 14, 2016 Board meeting, staff made the Board aware of the measure and its
potential to forward the District’s mission. A majority of the Board directed staff to research the
matter.
The Initiative is consistent with the District’s mission of open space preservation and habitat
restoration in that it would provide much needed housing to vulnerable homeless populations
that have on occasion resorted to establishing encampments on the banks of rivers.
MEASURE AA
This measure has no direct connection to Measure AA Priority Actions.
DISCUSSION
Background:
With the aggressive resurgence of the Bay Area’s economy over the last few years, the region
has struggled to keep up with rising demands for housing. Santa Clara County has been at the
center of this rebound with tens of thousands of jobs created, but very little new housing built in
response. Low-income communities have taken the brunt of this demand with housing
opportunities affordable to them quickly diminishing. 74% of below median income renters in
Santa Clara County are considered “Cost Burdened” paying more than 30% of their income
R-16-129 Page 2
towards housing costs. 43% are considered “Severely Cost Burdened” paying more than 50% of
their income to rent according to 2009-2013 5-year American Community Survey (ACS) data.
Many displaced workers resort to long commutes - some exceeding 50 miles each direction -
both within and into Santa Clara County. Others have become homeless. One example that
gained recent prominence in the City of San Jose was a stretch of Coyote Creek called “The
Jungle” that contained over 300 homeless individuals. In addition to the human and monetary
cost of dismantling the encampment there was extensive environmental damage that cost almost
$500,000 to clean-up.
The cost of addressing the problem of homelessness in Santa Clara County is estimated to be
approximately $520 million a year in shelter, health care, social services, and law enforcement
costs according to the report “Home Not Found: The Cost of Homelessness in Silicon Valley”
commissioned in 2015 for the County of Santa Clara.
If approved by voters, the Initiative would cost commercial and residential property owners an
estimated $12.66 per $100,000 of assessed property value. The measure requires approval by a
66.67% supermajority of voters in Santa Clara County.
Proposal:
The question to be put before voters is:
To provide affordable local housing for vulnerable populations including veterans,
seniors, the disabled, low and moderate income individuals or families, foster youth,
victims of abuse, the homeless and individuals suffering from mental health or substance
abuse illnesses, which housing may include supportive mental health and substance
abuse services, shall the County of Santa Clara issue up to $950 million in general
obligation bonds to acquire or improve real property subject to independent citizen
oversight and regular audits?
For the Board to consider taking a position on this measure, the following criteria contained
within Board Policy 1.11 “Positions on Ballot Measures and Legislative Advocacy” must be met:
“The Board may consider taking a position on the measure/proposition if the
measure/proposition:
i. Would directly impact the District’s finances, responsibilities, legal
authority, or operations; AND
ii. Is in line with or inconsistent with the District’s mission and/or
commitment to preserve open space within its boundaries and sphere of
influence. “
The primary means by which this measure is consistent with Board Policy is through its potential
to directly house homeless who might otherwise establish themselves in parks and along
waterways.
A more indirect, but also significant, benefit to the District is the enhancement of affordable
housing opportunities to area low-income residents, thereby helping to minimize sprawl and
reduce commute-related greenhouse gas generation. The majority of funds – approximately
R-16-129 Page 3
$700 million – will go towards housing for extremely low-income and homeless residents. $100
million is directed towards low-income families (roughly $85,000 household income for a family
of 4). $150 million would provide affordable housing to moderate income families (roughly
$106,000 household income for a family of 4) along with first-time homebuyer loans. There
may be the potential for qualifying District staff to take advantage of these programs.
To date, over 120 Santa Clara County elected officials have endorsed this measure, along with
100 community organizations. Notable endorsements come from the Board of the Santa Clara
County Open Space Authority, the Board of the Santa Clara Valley Water District, and the
League of Conservation Voters of Santa Clara County.
To date, the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters has not released the list of arguments in
support and opposed to the measure, but it is expected to appear on the website:

AGENDA ITEM
Resolution in Support of National Monument Status Designation for Cotoni-Coast Dairies.
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
Discuss and consider adoption of a resolution in support of the establishment of a Cotoni-Coast
Dairies National Monument as part of an expansion of the existing California Coastal National
Monument.
SUMMARY
At the September 28, 2016 Board meeting, staff made the Board aware of a request by Sara
Barth, Executive Director of the Sempervirens Fund, to endorse the establishment of a Cotoni-
Coast Dairies National Monument as part of an expansion of the existing California Coastal
National Monument and its potential to forward the District’s mission. A majority of the Board
directed staff to research the matter.
The California Coastal National Monument Expansion Act authored by Sen. Barbara Boxer
seeks to add six land-based “gateways” to the California Coastal National Monument (CCNM),
established in 2000 to protect islets, reefs and outcroppings along the 1100-mile California
coastline, most of which are inaccessible.
The gateways will provide places for the public to view, access and appreciate a national
treasure: California’s magnificent coastline. They include:
• Cotoni-Coast Dairies Public Lands (5800 acres, Santa Cruz County)
• Piedras Blancas Light Station (20 acres, San Luis Obispo County)
• Trinidad Head (12 acres including lighthouse, Humboldt County)
• Lost Coast Headlands (465 acres, Humboldt County)
• Lighthouse Ranch (8 acres, Humboldt County)
A sixth gateway, the 1665-acre Point Arena–Stornetta Public Lands, was added to the
California Coastal National Monument in March 2014 by President Obama and is now called
the Point Arena–Stornetta National Monument.
The establishment of the Cotoni-Coast Dairies National Monument as part of the California
Coastal National Monument Expansion Act is consistent with the District’s mission of open
space preservation and habitat restoration in that it would preserve 5800 acres of land in Santa
Cruz County that has scenic, environmental, and anthropological significance. This District has
interests in Santa Cruz County where it owns and manages 1,511 acres.
R-16-130 Page 2
MEASURE AA
This measure does not have direct impact on Measure AA Priority Actions, although it would
protect habitats and species in Santa Cruz County in a manner similar to the protection afforded
to habitats and species in San Mateo County to the north, all of which is part of the Santa Cruz
Mountains bioregion.
DISCUSSION
Background:
The Cotoni-Coast Dairies lands offer significant views of the California Coastal National
Monument and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. From atop its highest marine
terrace, at an elevation of 800 feet, one can see the sweep of the California coast and the curve of
the Monterey Bay, one of the richest nearshore marine environments on earth.
The Cotoni-Coast Dairies lands were occupied by the Cotoni people for some 12,000 years
pre-contact. Four archeological sites have been found on the Cotoni-Coast Dairies lands, but
only 2% of the property has been surveyed. There could be many more.
The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, which represents the descendants of the Cotoni people,
supports the CCNMEA and specifically the Cotoni-Coast Dairies National Monument.
Cotoni-Coast Dairies National Monument would be the first national monument to
honor the indigenous people of California’s Central Coast—which had the densest
population north of Mexico City in the Western Hemisphere at the time of European contact.
Anthropologists estimate that some 30,000 Ohlone-speaking people occupied what we now call
the Greater Bay Area. (The desert Southwest, by contrast, was far less populated, yet is home to
nearly two-dozen national monuments honoring native peoples.)
R-16-130 Page 3
Cotoni-Coast Dairies is also a significant source of biodiversity. Most of the state lies within a
global biodiversity hotspot called the California Floristic Province, where the Mediterranean
climate fosters high biodiversity. Within the CFP are four regions of exceptional biodiversity,
one being the Coast Range, the home of Cotoni-Coast Dairies. Cotoni-Coast Dairies offers an
especially dense and varied selection of plant communities even for the Coast Range, with 14
native vegetation communities including redwoods and two types of grasslands. It is home to
many special-status plant and animal species.
Cotoni-Coast Dairies National Monument would be the first monument in the national portfolio
to recognize the globally significant biodiversity of California’s Coast Range. The marine
terraces of Cotoni-Coast Dairies offer a unique window onto the geological history of the
continent and the Pacific Ocean.
Also of significance is the wildlife connectivity Cotoni-Coast Dairies provides. Home to six
watersheds and multiple ecosystems, Cotoni-Coast Dairies provides food and shelter for many
animals, including the iconic mountain lion. It connects to 15,000 acres of protected lands,
forming a 21,000-acre bloc of wild lands just an hour from the Bay Area’s 7 million people.
Proposal:
The request by the Executive Director of the Sempervirens Funds is for the Board of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District to consider adopting a resolution in support of the
establishment of a Cotoni-Coast Dairies National Monument as part of an expansion of the
existing California Coastal National Monument.
For the Board to consider taking a position on this measure, the following criteria contained
within Board Policy 1.11 “Positions on Ballot Measures and Legislative Advocacy” must be met:
“The Board may consider taking a position on the measure/proposition if the
measure/proposition:
i. Would directly impact the District’s finances, responsibilities, legal
authority, or operations; AND
ii. Is in line with or inconsistent with the District’s mission and/or
commitment to preserve open space within its boundaries and sphere of
influence. “
The primary means by which this action is consistent with Board Policy is through its direct
impact on local habitats and historic, cultural resources that ultimately link to District lands and
resources.
The CCNMEA has received broad support from elected representatives, nonprofit organizations
and the public. Authored by Sen. Barbara Boxer, it is supported by Gov. Jerry Brown, Sen.
Dianne Feinstein, Rep. Anna Eshoo, Rep. Jared Huffman, Rep. Lois Capps, Rep. Sam Farr and
California Natural Resources Secretary John Laird.
Among the many environmental groups supporting the act are: Sempervirens Fund, the Sierra
Club, Surfrider Foundation, Save the Redwoods League, The Nature Conservancy, the Trust for
Public Land, the Wilderness Society, and Latino Outdoors.
