SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA ITEM 2
AGENDA ITEM
Consideration of a Commemorative Trail for Nonette Hanko at Los Trancos Open Space Preserve
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
Confer special recognition on Nonette Hanko by renaming the San Andreas Fault Trail at Los
Trancos Open Space Preserve to the Nonette Hanko San Andreas Fault Trail.
SUMMARY
Nonette Hanko, a founding and current member of the Board of Directors, will retire in January
2019 after serving for 46 consecutive years. The Board of Directors expressed interest in
renaming a trail in recognition of Director Hanko’s extensive contributions to the Midpeninsula
Regional Open Space District. If approved by the Board of Directors, installation of new trail
signage would cost approximately $600. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 budget includes
sufficient funds to cover the expenditures.
DISCUSSION
In 1970, Director Hanko, along with a handful of key open space preservation proponents,
spearheaded a grassroots effort to form the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District
(District), which was approved by the voters as Measure R in 1972. Director Hanko has served
on the elected Board of Directors (Board) since 1972, including six terms as its appointed
president. In addition to her service as a board member since the District’s inception, Director
Hanko served on the 2020 Task Force of Santa Clara County, which recommended that a new
south county open space agency be formed to complete a ring of agencies circling the San
Francisco Bay. This ultimately became the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority.
Over the last decade, Director Hanko has been recognized for her preservation efforts and has
been featured as one of the living visionaries of Bay Area open space in photographer/author
Galen Rowell’s book Bay Area Wild. She also received the World of Out of Doors Award from
the Girl Scouts in Santa Clara County, and the prestigious “Creators of the Legacy” honor as part
of the Palo Alto Centennial.
The Board President, with support of his fellow Board members, asked that the proposed
renaming of the San Andreas Fault Trail be referred directly to the full Board of Directors prior
to Director Hanko’s retirement.
R-18-152 Page 2
FISCAL IMPACT
The material and construction cost of the recommended action is estimated at approximately
$600 to order and install new trail directional signs. Funds are available in the FY2017-18
Budget for these signs. In addition, the new trail name would be added to the District’s website
and signboard maps. Moreover, the next round of preserve brochures prints would also show the
new trail name.
BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW
The Board President referred this item directly to the full Board to consider its approval prior to
Director Hanko’s retirement.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice was provided as required by the Brown Act.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
This item is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act.
NEXT STEPS
If approved by the Board of Directors, staff will begin ordering the signage for installation in
early 2019.

AGENDA ITEM 3
AGENDA ITEM
Annual Dedication Report of Certain Lands of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
Accept the annual report on the status of dedicated interests in lands of the Midpeninsula
Regional Open Space District held for public open space purposes.
SUMMARY
In accordance with the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District’s (District) Policy for
Dedication of District Lands, adopted in January 1986 (Attachment 1), an annual report of the
status of District lands as dedicated or undedicated is prepared each December. To date,
approximately 67% of District lands are dedicated. Based on an annual, parcel-specific
analysis of District property, no additional land is recommended this year for dedication.
BACKGROUND
In accordance with the Policy for Dedication of District Lands, the Board of Directors (Board)
receives an annual report indicating the status of District lands as dedicated or undedicated as of
December 1st of the reporting year. The annual report may also contain recommendations for
additional dedication of specific District properties or interests in lands. Upon dedication, those
properties effectively become permanently protected, and the District voluntarily eliminates its
ability to sell or otherwise convey those dedicated properties without voter consent, except under
narrow statutory exceptions. The exceptions are referenced in the District’s enabling legislation
within Public Resources Code Section 5540. The statutory exceptions only permit (1) exchanges
of dedicated land of equal or greater open space value not to exceed a total of 40 acres in a
calendar year, or (2) the transfer of land to another government agency upon the condition that
the land will continue to be protected as open space in perpetuity.
Undedicated lands within the District's boundaries are reserved for future dedication to park
and/or open space purposes, but only after the necessary planning, boundary adjustments,
provision for permanent access, and other changes in configuration, which may involve the
disposal or exchange of interests in all or portions of such lands, have been completed.
Retaining certain lands in an undedicated status affords maximum flexibility to achieve these
modifications. In the interim, undedicated District lands may be used for park or open space
purposes within the meaning of Section 5540 of the Public Resources Code.
R-18-150 Page 2
When considering the adoption of any Use and Management Plan, the Board determines whether
the underlying land is to be dedicated at the time of the annual report, or to be withheld until a
later time, such as when more comprehensive planning has been completed. Dedication status is
also reviewed as part of the regular land use and management planning process, such as approval
of a Site Plan, Preserve Plan or Master Plan. When approving such plans, the Board may adopt a
motion of intention to dedicate at the time of the annual report or to withhold dedication until a
future time. Another factor for consideration is whether a granting agency requires dedication of
a grant-funded property as a condition of funding.
DISCUSSION
Dedication Status Summary
The Dedication Status Summary Report 2018 (Attachment 2) provides the total acres held within
each District preserve and their dedication status. Only those parcels for which title has passed
to the District on or before December 1, 2018 are included in the acreage totals. The interests in
land that the District holds, i.e., fee title, easement, or other (lease, management agreement, etc.),
are listed for each category. Rights of first refusal and/or reversions to the District are not
included. The table below provides a summary of the dedication status of District lands.

Dedication Recommendations for 2018
The District annually conducts a parcel-specific analysis to provide recommendations for
dedications. The analysis includes consideration of criteria identified in the governing policy
(see Attachment 1). Staff also considers preserve parcel configuration, surrounding land use,
pending negotiations for adjacent acquisitions, project coordination with partner agencies, and
R-18-150 Page 3
other relevant factors. Based upon the analysis conducted, there are no lands suitable for
dedication at this time.
Recommendations for Later Dedication
Pockets of undedicated lands occur throughout the District, but the majority of the District’s
undedicated land lies within La Honda Creek and Sierra Azul Open Space Preserves (OSP). At
La Honda Creek OSP, 46% (2,848.61 acres) of the 6143.70-acre preserve is undedicated.
Development of public access improvements are underway in the Preserve. When the 2012
Master Plan is amended to include property acquired since 2012, and public access
improvements are completed, the status of undedicated lands will be reevaluated. At Sierra Azul
OSP, 71% (13,685.73 acres) of the 19,184.28-acre preserve is undedicated. Completion of the
Sierra Azul OSP Master Plan was deferred to allow for a focused implementation of the Mount
Umunhum Public Access and Environmental Restoration Project. When long-term management
goals for the entire Preserve are approved, the status of undedicated lands will be reevaluated.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no costs and no fiscal impact associated with acceptance of this report.
BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW
No Board Committee review is required for this item.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice was provided pursuant to the Brown Act. Notice was also given to the California
Coastal Conservancy, County of Santa Clara, County of San Mateo, Santa Clara Valley Water
District, and Peninsula Open Space Trust. No additional notice is necessary.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) COMPLIANCE
No compliance is required as this action is not a project under CEQA.
NEXT STEPS
In 2019, Real Property staff will review with other Departments the District lands that may be
suitable for dedication in the future, and provide these findings as part of the 2019 Annual
Dedication report.

RESOLUTION NO. 86-6
Adopted 1/22/86
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
ADOPTING AN AMENDED POLICY FOR THE DEDICA-
TION OF DISTRICT LANDS
POLICY FOR DEDICATION OF DISTRICT LANDS
WHEREAS, this Board desires to reaffiim and memorialize its
policy concerning the status of District lands, now owned or later
acquired, with respect to the distinction between dedicated and non -
dedicated land:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the policy of the Midpenin-
sula Regional Open Space District concerning the status of land it
owns or administers is as follows:
1. Dedicated Land. Dedicated land means all real property or
interests therein, formally dedicated for park or open space, or both,
purposes by resolution of this Board.
2. Undedicated Land. Undedicated land means all real property,
or interests therein, that is not "dedicated land" as defined above.
Undedicated land shall be considered to be held in a "planning reserve"
status and shall not be considered to be dedicated for park or open
space, or both, purposes within the meaning of Section 5540 of the
Public Resources Code.
Normally, undedicated lands within the District's boundaries will
be held for future dedication to park or open space, or both, purposes,
but only after the necessary planning, boundary adjustments, provision
for permanent access and other changes in configuration, which may
involve the disposal or exchange of interests in all or portions of such
lands, have been completed. Nevertheless, undedicated land may be used
on a limited basis for park or open space, or both, purposes within the
meaning of Section 5540 of the Public Resources Code.
At the time of adoption of the Interim Use and Management Plan
following acquisition, the Board shall decide by adopted motion
whether or not the acquired parcel of land is intended to be dedicated
at the time of the annual report described below. The status of each
such parcel shall also be reviewed as part of the regular land use and
management planning process, and the Board may then adopt a motion of
intention to dedicate at the time of the annual report.
An annual report shall be made in December of each year showing
which District lands are in planning reserve status. At that time,
the Board of Directors will normally dedicate by resolution any lands
which it deems appropriate, but may also dedicate lands at any other
time.
3. Transfer -Dedicated Land. Dedicated land may not be conveyed
except as provided in Section 5540, Section 5540.5 or Section 5540.6
of the Public Resources Code.
4. Transfer -Undedicated Land. Undedicated land may be conveyed,
transferred, leased, or disposed of at the sole discretion of the
Board of Directors.
5. This resolution supercedes Resolution 79-54.

AGENDA ITEM 4
AGENDA ITEM
Award of Contract for Partial Demolition, Repair, and Improvements at 20000 Skyline
Boulevard, Redwood City, in the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION(S)
1. Award a contract to Belz Construction Inc., for partial demolition, repair and improvements
of three structures at 20000 Skyline Boulevard, Redwood City, in the Russian Ridge Open
Space Preserve for a base contract amount of $226,000.
2. Authorize a 15% contract contingency of $33,900, to be reserved for unanticipated issues,
thus allowing the total contract amount not-to-exceed $259,900.
SUMMARY
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District) staff issued a Request for Bids for partial
demolition, repairs, and improvements at 20000 Skyline Boulevard, Redwood City, in the
Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve on October 3, 2018. Staff opened bids on Wednesday,
November 7, 2018. Belz Construction Inc., submitted the only bid. The General Manager
recommends awarding the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Belz
Construction, Inc., for a total not-to-exceed amount of $259,900. The scope under the
recommended contract encompasses Phase II work of a four-phase project to comply with an
agreement between the District and San Mateo County to remove unpermitted additions to three
structures. The scope also includes restroom improvements and the addition of a kitchen to make
one of the structures a self-sufficient residence for rental use. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-19
Budget includes sufficient funds for this contract.
DISCUSSION
Background
The District purchased the property located at 20000 Skyline Boulevard (see Exhibit A) in the
unincorporated area of San Mateo County on November 29, 2010 (Board Report #10-115), with
five (5) occupied residences. In the past few years, tenants have moved out of four of the five
residences, with only the old house currently occupied.
When the District applied for a building permit to replace a deck, the San Mateo County
(County) Planning Department raised several permitting issues with the buildings. One structure
has a permit that was never finalized, three structures have non-permitted additions, and one
structure was not permitted at all. The County issued the deck permit on condition that the
District would resolve the other permit issues. Staff worked with County Planning to warrant and
R-18-145 Page 2
finalize permits on four (4) structures (requires removal of unpermitted additions to three
structures) and full demolition of one (1) non-permitted structure. The four retained structures
are referred to as the main house, old house, guesthouse, and carriage house. The non-permitted
structure identified for demolition is the granny house.
This is Phase II of a four-phase project. A separate contractor completed Phase I, site cleanup, in
FY2017-18. Phase II includes asbestos abatement; finalizing the permit on the main house; and
removing non-permitted additions to the carriage house, guesthouse, and old house. This project
also includes remodeling the guesthouse restroom and adding a kitchen to make it a self-
sufficient residence for rental use. Phase III will begin later in FY2018-19 under a separate
contract and will include a remodel of the main house and old house. The remodels are required
for improved habitability. Phase IV will begin FY2019-20 and will include demolition of the
granny house as required by the County and removal of defunct ancillary structures (shed and
stable/tack room/storage) to clean up the site.
Once Phase II improvements are completed, the guesthouse will be available for rent and the
carriage house, with the unpermitted addition removed, will become a common area for laundry
and storage. This is the best use for the carriage house because it would require substantial
improvements and permitting to be a standalone residential rental. Once Phase III improvements
are complete, three rental properties will be available for rent. The estimated annual market rent
for the properties is $54,000.
Contractor Selection
A Request for Bids was posted through BidSync and on the District website on October 2, 2018.
An email was sent to contractors, subcontractors, and consultants who had requested to be
notified of the Project, as well as to the builders’ exchanges through BidSync. Legal notices were
posted in the San Mateo County Times and Menlo Park Almanac. Three (3) general contractors
attended a mandatory pre-bid meeting and site walk at the Project site on October 17, 2018.
Sealed bids were due on November 7, 2018, and one (1) contractor submitted a bid. Belz
Construction, Inc., is the lowest responsible and responsive bidder for this project. The bid is
very close to the project estimate, differing by only 5%.

FISCAL IMPACT
The FY2018-19 budget includes $559,325 for the Russian Ridge – Bergman Residences
Reconstruction Project 61009. A portion of these funds is allocated for Phase III of this project,
which will occur later this fiscal year. There are sufficient funds in the project budget to cover
the recommended Phase II actions and expenditures.

BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW
This item was not previously reviewed by a Board Committee.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice was provided as required by the Brown Act, including adjacent neighbors.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
These improvements and hazardous materials remediation are categorically exempt under section
15301, Existing Facilities, of the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 15301 exempts
the repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, or
topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the
time of the lead agency’s determination, including the demolition of individual small structures.
NEXT STEPS
If approved by the Board of Directors, the General Manager will enter into a contract with Belz
Construction Inc., to perform general construction services for Phase II of the Project. Final
contract signature is subject to meeting all District requirements, such as having all required
insurance and bonding in place. Phase II is scheduled to be completed by April 30, 2019.

AGENDA ITEM
Office Lease Extensions between Wellington Park Investors and Midpeninsula Regional Open Space
District at 4984 El Camino Real, Los Altos, Suites 100 and 115 for Administrative Office Use.
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 report.
2. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the General Manager to enter into office lease extensions
with Wellington Park Investors.
SUMMARY
The General Manager recommends adopting the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) to enter into
new office lease addendums for Suites 100 and 115 at 4984 El Camino Real, Los Altos,
extending the lease terms through the spring of 2022. Suite 100 contains 1,564 square feet and
the lease would extend three years and two months to March 31, 2022. Suite 115 contains 3,520
square feet and the lease would extend three years and three months to June 30, 2022. The lease
extensions are projected to end upon completion of the new Administrative Office remodel
project at 5050 El Camino Real, Los Altos, including staff relocation time. The following report
presents a description of the proposed lease extensions, background, the environmental review
findings, and terms. The current fiscal year budget includes sufficient funds for the rental rate
increase through June 30. Future fiscal year budgets would reflect the new annual rates.
DISCUSSION
5050 El Camino Real, Los Altos (New Administration Building)
In July of 2017, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District) entered into a
purchase contract for the 39,010 square foot office building at 5050 El Camino Real, Los Altos
to serve as the new administrative office (R-17-90). The property at 5050 El Camino is a multi-
tenant office building and requires significant remodel work and layout reconfiguration before
District use can begin. The remodel is estimated to be done by March 2022.
Administrative Office (AO) 2 (Suite 115)
In the interim to accommodate staff growth, the District has leased 3,520 square feet of office
space at 4984 El Camino Real, suite 115 in Los Altos since February of 2013 (R-13-24). The
term of this lease was four years with one, 2-year option to renew. Under the General Manager’s
authority, the District exercised its 2-year option to renew the lease in July of 2016 for a lease
R-18-151 Page 2
extension up to March 31, 2019. The current rent paid under the lease is $13,217 per month
($3.76 per square foot) or $158,604 annually.
Administrative Office 3 (Suite 100)
Also in the interim to accommodate staff growth, the District has leased 1,564 square feet of
additional office space in the same building, in Suite 100, since January 2015 (R-15-04). The
term of this lease was four years with one, 2-year option to renew. Although a 2-year option to
renew the existing lease is available, staff negotiated a better arrangement for a three-year plus
two-month extension to more closely match the estimated construction timeline for 5050 El
Camino Real and the timeline for the lease at Suite 115. The current rent paid under this lease is
$6,010 per month ($3.84 per square foot) or $72,120 annually.
Office Space Rental Market
The demand for office space in the area surrounding the District’s Administrative Office (330
Distel Circle, Los Altos) continues to be very strong and rental rates are increasing in the
Mountain View/Los Altos submarket. According to the 2018 Third Quarter (Q3) San Francisco
Peninsula Research and Forecast Report prepared by Colliers International, the total vacancy for
class B/C office space within the Mountain View/Los Altos submarket is 3.10%. The average
asking rental rate is $5.69 per square foot on a full service basis (includes all operating
expenses). Given the current office space rental market, the negotiated leases remain in the best
interest of the District pending the remodel and relocation into the new administrative office
building.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Administrative Office 2 (Suite 115)
Under the proposed lease extension, the rent would increase from $13,217 to $15,840 per month
with 3% annual increases thereafter. The term would be three years and three months, ending on
June 30, 2022. The District would receive one month of free rent, which drops the effective rent
of $4.50 per square foot to at $4.12 per square foot for the first year. The final rent year under
the lease would be 15 months at $4.50$4.77 per square foot (rent would remain the same for the
last 15 months). The District would also have a one-year option to extend the lease. Finally, the
number of guaranteed parking spaces would drop from 15 to 6, with the remainder as first-come-
first-serve, to match the existing AO3 and AO4 leases, which should not be an issue for the
District.
Administrative Office 3 (Suite 100)
Under the proposed lease extension, the rent would increase from $6,010 to $7,038 per month
with 3% annual increases thereafter. The term would be three years and two months, ending on
March 31, 2022. The District would receive one month of free rent, which drops the effective
rent from $4.50 per square foot to at $4.12 per square foot for the first year. The final rent year
under the lease would be 14 months at $4.50 per square foot (rent would remain the same for the
last 14 months). The District would also have a one-year option to extend the lease.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total costs for both lease extensions for the full term is estimated at $966,278 (includes
electricity cost estimates). The current fiscal year budget includes sufficient funds for the
R-18-151 Page 3
increase in rate through June 30. Future fiscal year budgets would include the yearly rental cost
for the lease space. A chart outlining the fiscal year cost breakdown is below:
Fiscal Year Suite 100 (AO3)* Suite 115 (AO2)* Totals
July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019** $74,884 $161,356 $236,240

BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW
This item was not previously reviewed by a Board Committee.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice was provided as required by the Brown Act.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
Project Description
The proposed project consists of renewing existing office space leases with Wellington Park
Investors for a total of 5,085 square feet of office space at 4984 El Camino Real, Suites 100 and
115, Los Altos in an existing private structure, which involves no expansion of use.
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, Section 15301, of the CEQA
Guidelines as follows:
Section 15301 exempts operation, repair, restoration, maintenance, permitting, leasing,
licensing or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical
equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond
that existing at the time of the lead agency’s determination. The office lease extensions
involve the leasing of existing private facilities and there will be no expansion of use.
The project is also exempt under 15061(b)(3), as there is no possibility the actions can have a
significant effect on the environment.
NEXT STEPS
Upon approval by the Board of Directors, staff would execute the office lease extensions with
Wellington Park Investors per the terms and conditions described in this report.

AGENDA ITEM 6
AGENDA ITEM
Amendment to Board Policy 3.08 – Investment Guidelines
CONTROLLER’S RECOMMENDATION
Approve the following amendments to Board Policy 3.08 Investment Guidelines:
• Amend Guideline #3: Add Local Agency Investment Fund and Reduce Percentage to 20%
• Amend Guideline #4: Add Local Agency Investment Fund
DISCUSSION
The state Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) offers the same safety and immediate liquidity
as the Santa Clara County pooled fund. With the recent increase in interest rates, LAIF will
continue to provide a higher return than the County pooled fund for an extended period.
Currently, investment guidelines #3 and #4 specify that only the County fund be utilized. So, in
order to optimize Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District) income on such highly
liquid funds, LAIF should be added as a qualified alternative to the County fund.
Because of the 10-day call provision in the purchase contract for the new Administrative Office
(AO) building, investment guideline #3 included the requirement that at least one-half of the
total general fund committed reserve requirement be held in the County pooled fund. Upon the
completion of the purchase of the new AO building, the District will no longer need to hold so
much cash in immediately available funds. In order to optimize interest income, this requirement
should be reduced from one-half to 20%.
FISCAL IMPACT
No new fiscal impact. The amended policy will allow higher interest income, while maintaining
adequate liquidity.
BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW
The Action Plan and Budget Committee reviewed this item and unanimously recommended
approval at its meeting on November 20, 2018.

The primary goal shall be to safeguard the principal of invested funds. The secondary objective
shall be to meet the liquidity needs of the District. The third objective shall be to achieve a
return on funds consistent with this Policy. Temporarily idle funds shall be invested in a
conservative manner, such that funds can always be withdrawn at, or just above or below, full
invested value. Investments that offer opportunities for significant capital gains and losses are
excluded.
Goal 2. Liquidity
Temporarily idle funds shall be managed so that normal operating cash needs and scheduled
extraordinary cash needs can be met on a same day basis. Investments shall be sufficiently
liquid to provide a steady and reliable flow of cash to the District to insure that all land
purchases can be made promptly (within two weeks).
Goal 3. Income
Temporarily idle funds shall earn the highest rate of return that is consistent with capital
preservation and liquidity goals and the California Government Code.
Guidelines
1. Determination of Idle Funds
The Controller shall prepare a cash flow projection prior to all investment decisions involving
securities with a term to maturity exceeding one year. This cash flow projection shall be
reviewed and evaluated by the General Manager or Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The General
Manager or CFO are responsible for approving the Controller’s designation of the amount of
funds available for investment for longer than one year.
2. Restricted Monies
[a] MROSD Retiree Healthcare Plan: All funds are to be held by either: the Section

shall be invested in accordance with the bond indenture or other agreement providing
for the issuance and management of such debt.
3. General Fund Committed Reserves
At least one-half20% of the total general fund committed reserve requirement shall be
maintained, at all times, with the Santa Clara County Pooled Investment Fund (SCCPIF) and/or
the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF).
4. General Fund UnAssigned Reserves
In addition to any committed fund reserve requirement, a general fund reserve per the Fund
Balance Policy 3.07 shall be maintained, at all times, with the SCCPIF and/or LAIF.
5. General Obligation Bond Proceeds Held by Fiscal Agent
Bond Proceeds held by the District’s Fiscal Agent, either in the Debt Service Fund or Bond
Proceeds Fund, shall be invested through the investment department of the Fiscal Agent and in
accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
6. Non-Invested Funds
Idle District funds not otherwise invested as permitted by this Policy shall be deposited with the
Santa Clara County Pooled Investment Fund, the San Mateo County Treasurer’s Pooled
Investment Fund, the State of California’s Local Agency Investment Fund or CalTRUST.
7. Selection of Investments
The Controller is responsible for selecting investments and directing such security transactions
that fit within the amounts and maturities as recommended by the Controller. The Controller
will communicate such actions to the General Manager and CFO.
8. Investments Instruments and Deposit of Funds
Investments and deposits of funds shall be limited to those allowed by and subject to the
procedures of Government Code Section 53600 et seq. and 53635 et seq. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of this Policy, and the Government Code, the provisions of the
Government Code shall prevail. Investments shall not be leveraged. Investments, and
“derivatives,” that offer opportunities for significant capital gains and losses are excluded. If
after purchase, securities are downgraded below the minimum required rating level, the

investments in trustee-held debt service reserve funds shall not exceed the final debt service
payment date of the bonds.
10. Diversification
Investments shall meet the diversification test of Government Code Section 53601.7(c), stating
that no more than 5% of the total investment portfolio may be invested in the securities of any
one issuer, except for the obligations of the U.S. Treasury or U.S. Government Agencies.
11. Marketability
For investments other than bank certificates of deposits the breadth of ownership and number
of securities outstanding shall be sufficient to establish a secondary market in which
investments can be readily converted to cash without causing a material change in their market
value.
12. Acceptable Banks
Bankers' Acceptances and Negotiable Certificates of Deposit may be purchased only from the
District’s commercial bank or banks and savings and loan associations with over $1 billion of
deposits and reporting profitable operations and which meet all applicable criteria of the

All investments purchased shall stand in the name of the District.

transactions to the Board of Directors by the second Friday of each calendar month in
Board Policy 3.08 Page 4 of 4
accordance with Government Code Sections 53607 and 53646. Such reports shall also be
submitted to the General Manager, CFO and to the District’s auditor.
16. Purchase of Securities
The Controller is authorized to purchase securities through the investment department of the
District’s bond trustees and fiscal agents and as otherwise permitted by the Government Code.
Any account resolutions required by bank investment departments will be submitted to the
Board of Directors for approval prior to any trading through that bank. The bank or other
investment institution from which authorized securities are purchased shall be instructed in
writing only to purchase securities in the name of the District and that all matured funds shall
be returned to the District’s commercial bank account. The bank shall also be instructed to
send receipts for all transactions to the CFO and the District accounting department.

AGENDA ITEM 7
AGENDA ITEM
Approval of Salary Adjustments and Revised Employment Agreement for Board Appointee:
District Controller
BOARD APPOINTEE EVALUATION COMMITTEE’S RECOMMENDATIONS
Following the Board’s evaluation of the performance of the Board Appointees for Fiscal Year
2017-18, the Board Appointee Evaluation Committee recommends the following compensation
adjustments for the District Controller for Fiscal Year 2018-19: Increase the District Controller’s
base salary by 3% to $45,512, plus a one-time merit pay bonus of $2,275.
The Board Appointee Evaluation Committee recommends the adoption of a resolution approving
the salary adjustments and authorizing the Board President to execute a revised Board Appointee
Employment Agreement.
DISCUSSION
The Board Appointee Evaluation (BAE) Committee was established to conduct the evaluation
process for its Appointees. The BAE Committee serves as the Midpeninsula Regional Open
Space District’s (District) negotiator and meets with the Board Appointees to discuss their
performance and compensation. The Board has three appointees: General Manager, Controller,
and General Counsel. The Board, working through the BAE Committee, implemented this
process and completed an evaluation of the performance of the Controller for Fiscal Year 2017-
18 in November, 2018. Due to the recent appointments of the General Manager and the General
Counsel, only the Controller’s performance was evaluated at this time.
The Board feels that the District’s Controller consistently exceeded expectations during this
review period. He met or exceeded all of his performance objectives in addition to several
unplanned accomplishments that developed during the year. He continued to provide his
incredibly valuable long-term financial guidance that has served the District so well for 40 years.
He has continued to provide thoughtful and pragmatic advice and support to the Board while
helping to grow the effectiveness of the District’s financial strategy and operation. His guidance
with the District’s multiple successful bond sales has been instrumental in providing the financial
basis for the District’s ongoing accomplishments of its Measure AA goals.
The District is extremely fortunate to have such a valuable employee who has consistently
provided sound advice to the Board and to the staff during his long tenure as our Controller.
R-18-156 Page 2

AGENDA ITEM 8
AGENDA ITEM
Partnership support for Tunitas Creek Beach and Cowell-Purisima Trail
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve a request for a one-time contribution of $500,000 to support the natural resource
restoration, public access improvements, and management of Tunitas Creek Beach, and long-
term management of the nearby Cowell-Purisima Trail, which is a segment of the California
Coastal Trail.
2. Adopt a resolution increasing the Fiscal Year 2018-19 budget and appropriation for the
General Fund by $500,000.
SUMMARY
The Peninsula Open Space Trust and San Mateo County are requesting a one-time contribution
of $500,000 to support the natural resource restoration, public access improvements, and
management of Tunitas Creek Beach, and long-term management of the Cowell-Purisima Trail
(a segment of the California Coastal Trail). This contribution would leverage an additional $8.2
million of funding secured for San Mateo County to restore and open the beach to public access
within the next three years, and maintain and manage Tunitas Creek Beach and the nearby 3.6-
mile Cowell-Purisima Coastal Trail over the long-term. Consideration of a funding contribution
is consistent with the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District) Vision Plan Portfolio
30: Support California Coastal Trail. General Fund revenues are available to set aside for such a
contribution.
DISCUSSION
On September 25, 2018, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District) received a
letter from San Mateo County and the Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) regarding a joint
project to raise funds for the restoration and long-term management of Tunitas Creek Beach and
the nearby Cowell-Purisima Trail (Attachment 1). POST and San Mateo County are
collaborating to protect and manage the 58-acre Tunitas Creek Beach property located eight
miles south of Half Moon Bay. The property sits along an expansive, one-mile stretch of beach
with no developed public access. The property contains diverse wildlife habitat and other natural
resources that have been severely impacted by inappropriate and illegal use (Attachment 2).
Restoring the natural resource and open space values of this property is of high priority, as this
recently acquired property now forms part of the network of protected lands and wildlife
corridors on the Coastside. The property, which is located across Highway 1 and directly
adjacent to the District’s Toto Ranch area of Tunitas Creek Open Space Preserve, also opens the
door to connecting District land to the coastline via trail.
R-18-154 Page 2
The 3.6 mile Cowell-Purisma Coastal Trail is located approximately 3 miles north of Tunitas
Creek Beach. The trail is currently open only on weekends and holidays. The project funding
will open the trail to the public seven days a week. Eventually, the District’s Purisima-to-the-
Sea trail, which is part of Measure AA Portfolio 3, will connect the Cowell-Purisima Coastal
Trail to the Bay Area Ridge Trail through Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve.
The estimated project budget for this work is $10 million, of which POST and the County have
secured $8.2 million. The District’s contribution would bring the total amount raised to $8.7
million. The total budget breaks down as follows (including a stewardship fund for future
maintenance):
POST has acquired the property and the County has committed to take on the long-term
management and operations. POST and the County are currently in the early stages of a multi-
year site development planning process to prepare Tunitas Creek Beach for public visitation. A
citizen’s advisory committee has been formed to inform this process. POST will initially hold
the Stewardship Fund. In the future, POST intends to transfer the property, and possibly also the
dedicated Stewardship Fund, to the County.
The County expects to spend approximately $1 million annually to manage and operate the
beach and trail. The County has approved five (5) new positions for operations and management,
including two park rangers, two park aides, and a capital projects manager.
This project fits within the District’s Vision Plan under Portfolio 30: Support California Coastal
Trail. The description of this portfolio is to “encourage, facilitate, and partner to complete and
manage the California Coastal Trail on the San Mateo Coast”. The Tunitas Creek Beach project
directly ties in with the Coastal Trail, including the Cowell-Purisima Coastal Trail segment,
which opens the opportunity for the District’s future Purisima-to-the-Sea trail to become part of a
larger, regional trail connection extending from the coastline to the ridgeline.
FISCAL IMPACT
The request for a contribution of $500,000 would be funded via a budget amendment, increasing
the appropriation for the Fiscal Year 2018-19 budget by the same amount. The General Fund has
sufficient revenues available.
R-18-154 Page 3
The request from POST and the County is for a one-time contribution. The County will assume
all operating costs (approximately $1 million per year). The Stewardship Fund of $1 million is
designated for future capital repairs (after opening) as well as future significant (non-routine)
maintenance needs.
California Public Resources Code section 5546 empowers the Board of Directors to contribute
funds to outside entities for the purpose of assisting in the acquisition of lands or for improving
the lands, when the acquisition or improvement is located and planned as to be of benefit to the
District. As described herein, the project will provide regional trail connections and supports the
recreational, open space, and natural resource values associated with those connections.
BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW
The Action Plan and Budget Committee (ABC) held a meeting on November 20, 2018.
Supervisor Horsley from San Mateo County and Mr. Moore from POST were in attendance to
answer committee questions. The Committee voted to forward the proposed contribution to the
Tunitas Creek Beach project to the full Board of Directors for review and approval.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice was provided as required by the Brown Act.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
This proposed action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act and no
environmental review is required.
NEXT STEPS
If the item is approved by the full Board, the General Manager will direct staff to administer the
budget amendment and the funding contribution.

to manage the property. Last year the County also enacted several new ordinances to better
manage ongoing illegal and destructive activities on the beach.
Having secured the property, County Parks and POST are now working closely to develop the
infrastructure, facilities, and access onsite to support safe and sustainable public access to the
beach. We estimate that development of these resources will cost an additional $5 million.
In addition, the County is stepping up to provide the staffing resources needed for ongoing
management of the beach. On April 10, the County Board of Supervisors approved a funding
request from County Parks for five new positions (two Park Rangers, two Park Aides, and a Capital
Projects Manager). We are already seeing the positive impact of these additional resources and
improvements the County has made onsite to allow administrative and emergency access to the
beach. Illegal activities and the associated degradation of natural resources and public safety
concerns have decreased significantly compared to last summer. The County's new staff resources
will also provide additional patrol and management of POST's Cowell-Purisima Trail to allow daily
access to this three-mile section of the California Coastal' Trail as originally envisioned by POST and
the Coastal Conservancy. For Tunitas Creek Beach, when fully opened to the public, County Parks
anticipates ongoing annual operation and management costs of approximately $1 million.
We are also pleased to report that fundraising for Tunitas Creek Beach is going well. There has
been significant interest among POST's donors in supporting this project. In addition, the County
secured $5 million in funding from the State in this year's budget dedicated to developing this new
park and protecting and restoring natural resources on the beach and along Tunitas Creek. To date,
we have raised a total $8.2 million towards our $10 million goal. A one-time $500,000 grant from
Midpen would further demonstrate the tremendous community support for this project and the
collaborative approach that we and our other partners take to stewarding the lands of this region.
It would also be a critical step towards meeting our fundraising goal within the next year, in
advance of the transfer of the property to the County in 2019.
Thank you for your continued support and strong partnership between our organizations and for
considering this request. Should you have any questions or need any additional information in
support of this request, please do not hesitate to reach out.
With best regards,
Don Horsley, District 3 Supervisor Walter T. Moore, President
San Mateo County Board of Supervisors Peninsula Open Space Trust

We
come to Tunitas Creek Beach
Tunitas Creek Beach is a coastal gem:
an expansive one -mile stretch of beach
framed by iconic steep cliffs at the inter-
section of Tunitas Creek and Highway 1,
south of Half Moon Bay.
The creek and surrounding areas have
historically provided habitat for the San
Francisco garter snake, California red -
legged frog, steelhead trout, and Coho
salmon. Tunitas Creek Beach has been
identified as the northern limit of the
California sea otter population.
The site had been used for centuries as an
Ohlone seasonal village and was a stopping
point on the Spanish Portola Expedition.
The entire beach and surrounding properties
had been in private ownership for more
than 100 years.
The Challenge
Until recently, this beach was a mostly secret
destination for surfers, fishermen, and small numbers
of local beach -goers. However, in recent years, excessive
trespassing has severely escalated as the remote beach
was "discovered" and shared widely through social
media. Overnight campers have been coming in droves
to take advantage of the isolated beach with very
large-scale organized parties. Access down the steep
cliff sides is very dangerous, and emergency personnel
face challenges when responding to increasing numbers
of emergency calls.
The creek bed is also being used as a trail route from
the road to the beach by both foot traffic and all -terrain
vehicles, damaging the habitat in and around the creek.
The area around the creek —the coastal riparian forest —is
being cut down for beach bonfires, causing bank erosion
along the creek and disrupting the breeding and develop-
ment of aquatic species. People are trampling rare plants,
such as the coastal march milkvetch, and disrupting the
nesting sites of the threatened Western Snowy Plover.
With no garbage service or restrooms, the beach, sand
dunes, and creek have been littered with disturbing
amounts of trash and human waste. Much of the trash
and human waste that is left on the beach is flowing
directly into the ocean and Monterey Bay National
Marine Sanctuary. In just 2 years, nearly 9 tons, or
¶2,000 pounds, of garbage have been removed by a
local volunteer group. These volunteer cleanup efforts
have been heroic, but only temporarily help and cannot
keep up with the challenge long-term.
These are just some of the activities that have been
causing significant environmental degradation and
creating unsanitary conditions on the beach. We knew
son -mating needed to be done to protect this beach,
and fortunately, with your help, there can be a
lbr&gfster future for Tunitas Lek Beach.
A portion of the 58 -acre property that will become a new public beach. The existing structure and surrounding areas will become the
future site of a ranger station, safe trail and other important public access amenities.
One of POST's central goals is to increase
and enhance public access to special
places like Tunitas Creek Beach. In this
instance, we were very fortunate to work
with a landowner who supported our
vision of creating a public beach and was
willing to negotiate with us before
putting the property on the open market.

To launch phase 'Q of this project, MST purchased
a SE -acre beach front property ffrorn this willing
seller and grnmediately entered into an agreement
with San Mateo County to mangle the property.
Eventually, POST Wit transfer the property to
County Parks.
POST is also partnering with the County on improvements
that are critical to both public enjoyment and conservation
enforcement, including an official parking area, restrooms,
and a safe trail to the beach. Because on -site park ranger
presence is key to ensuring that destructive activities
are prevented long-term, a ranger station will also be
designed and constructed. EIOST's involvement in thus
prrojocl beyond the acquisition of the land is expect-
ed to *erratically expedite Vne timeline to fully
open the beach to the public.
The County has already committed to providing two
full-time rangers for Tunitas Creek Beach and are working
to add two more, in addition to support from the Sheriff's
Office. Furthermore, several partners are contributing to
a Stewardship Fund, which will act as an endowment to
provide long-term funding to care for the land.
POST's vtrith the County at Tunitas Creek
Beach will also benefit the Cowell Purrisimrua Wail, a
public POST -created trail four miles to the north. In return
for POST's establishment of a Stewardship Fund, the
County will assume management responsibilities for the
3.5 -mile Cowell-Purisima Trail, allowing this popular trail
to be open seven days a week.

Tunitas Creek Beach is located 8 miles south of downtown Half Moon Bay. The area shown in red is the 58 -acre property that
POST purchased in November 2017. As part of our partnership, County Parks will also take on management for the 3.5 -mile
Cowell-Purisima Trail, allowing for this popular trail to once again be open 7 days a week.
"A stunning property like Tunitas Creek Beach should be cared for and
available for everyone to enjoy. This is an ambitious vision that is
going to take support from the entire community to make it a reality.
We plan to restore this property and open it to everyone to visit and
be refreshed by its beauty and to share its many natural resources
with all of the living things that make Tunitas Creek and the beach
their home.
Protecting and restoring
Tunitas Creek Beach will
continue POST's legacy of
coastal conservation
In addition to adding another stretch of protected
coastal habitat, this project will also help close the
gap between previously protected properties and
expand the California Coastal Trail.
Iity supporting this project, you will preserve
sensitive natural resources and create a new
public beach that will be enjoyable for all, now
and for generations to come. In addition, your
support will protect sensitive species, like the
snowy plover, and reduce creek artd ocean
pollution.
A special donol recognition site is planned to
commemorate the major donors whose generosity
helped create this new beach. This site will provide
a unique opportunity for supporters to honor or
memorialize a loved one along a stunning stretch of
California's coast.
TOP Tunitas Creek has historically provided habitat for threatened
steelhead trout and endangered Coho salmon.
BOTTOM Tunitas Creek Beach has i3 habitat types, including
Coastal Dunes where threatened Western Snowy Plovers have
been spotted.
Partnering with POST
We believe that places like Tunitas Creek Beach belong to everyone. With the
support of our partners and donors, we look forward to preserving this beautiful
place forever in a way that benefits both the environment and our entire com-
munity at the same time.
POST respectfully requests your consideration of a special gift to create a new
public beach and protect a stunning and biodiverse coastal property.
With your support, we will:
• Protect and restore habitat for endangered and threatened species
• Reduce ocean poiluton and improve water quality
• Reduce publ c sa"ety r ks
• Create a new public beach along the scenic San Mateo Coast tha
accessible, safe, and more enjoyable for all!
It's not everyday that we have an opportunity to create a
new public beach. This is truly a remarkable opportunity
and we thank you for your consideration of support for
this exciting project.

AGENDA ITEM
Addition of Section VI, Partner Recognition Signboard, to Board Policy 5.01 – Site Naming,
Gift, and Special Recognition
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Section VI, Partner Recognition Signboard, as an addition to Board Policy 5.01 – Site
Naming, Gift, and Special Recognition to establish a centralized, consistent, and cohesive
approach for recognizing significant partner contributions at preserves.
SUMMARY
With the availability of Measure AA funding, outside grant funding, and partner support, the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District) is able to leverage its resources to acquire
new lands, protect and restore sensitive habitat, develop new public access facilities, and open
new Preserve areas to visitors. The District is profoundly appreciative of its partners who support
the District’s Mission, the Board-approved Strategic Plan goals, Vision Plan priority actions, and
Measure AA funding priorities. Most recently, to highlight the role of partners, the District
installed partner recognition signs at the Mount Umunhum Summit and lower La Honda Creek
Open Space Preserve. In addition, similar signage is planned at Bear Creek Redwoods Open
Space Preserve in time for the 2019 grand public opening and at the future Ravenswood Bay
Trail project.
In order to streamline and standardize the process of recognizing partner contributions, staff has
developed policy framework with guidelines to consolidate this information into District-branded
partner recognition signboards. The General Manager recommends adding Section VI, Partner
Recognition Signboards for inclusion into Board Policy 5.01 – Site Naming, Gift, and Special
Recognition. Signboards costs would be included as part of project budgets, and be a partial net
zero increase since the District is required to purchase and install certain recognition signs as part
of grant funding agreements.
DISCUSSION
Existing Partner Recognition Signs
Current District practice is to evaluate and develop partner signs on a case-by-case basis. As a
result, the District has developed and installed a variety of unique partner signs in preserves,
working each time with the specific partner(s). Existing partner recognition signs vary in size,
material and design. Existing sign types include a laminated 8.5-inch by 11-inch paper located
R-18-153 Page 2
in a signboard, a metal 12-inch by 24-inch sign mounted on a wooden post near a trailhead, and a
signboard designated for partner content.
With voter approval of Measure AA, the District is able to leverage its resources using outside
funds and partner contributions to acquire new lands, restore additional acres of habitat, and
develop more public access and environmental programming. At the most recent preserve
openings, the District recognized partnerships and grant funding using different styles, sizes,
materials, and placement of signs. La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve partners were
recognized with their logos on the Districts’ Measure AA sign that is mounted on the signboard.
In addition, Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) has an 8-inch by 11-inch sign on the District’s
standard signboard at the parking area. To fulfill grant requirements at Sierra Azul, a Coastal
Conservancy grant funder sign is located at the Mount Umunhum summit near the turnaround
and at the Bald Mountain parking area, and a Bay Area Ridge Trail sign is located at the
beginning of the Mount Umunhum Trail in the eastern Summit area. The Measure AA sign at
the Summit parking lot does not include any partner logos. Upcoming public access projects at
Bear Creek Redwoods and the Ravenswood Bay Trail connection will each have many key
partnerships and grants that will need to be recognized.
Partner recognition signs provide an opportunity for the District to highlight and acknowledge
significant partner contributions of cash, land, and/or time that were instrumental to the
conservation, restoration, and/or public opening of a preserve. Policy guidelines can provide a
framework to assist the District when considering and implementing partner recognitions. The
proposed policy language includes guidelines clarifying what type of contributions would be
eligible for recognition, as well as specifications to ensure recognition signage is visually
cohesive, consistent, and follows District branding (Attachment 1).
Policy Research and Organizational Input
Staff contacted agencies similar to the District, including Marin County Parks, San Mateo
County Parks, Santa Clara County Parks, and East Bay Regional Park District, and found that
most do not have an official policy nor sign guidelines to recognize partners. The exception was
Santa Clara County Parks, which provided their sign guidelines. The information collected from
the agencies allowed staff to aggregate best management practices, goals, and guidelines.
Internal staff meetings were held with multiple departments, including Real Property, Land &
Facilities and Visitor Services to discuss the proposed policy language. Staff also met with the
Grant Specialist to discuss grant funding signage requirements. Partner agencies (POST, Santa
Clara County Parks, San Mateo County Parks, and Committee for Green Foothills) also provided
input on the guidelines.
The proposed guidelines recommend the installation of a standalone, partner recognition
signboard. The signboard would share the same design and height of standard District trailhead
signboards, and the width would be the same or may be narrower, depending on the number of
partners (Attachment 2). Matching the District’s standard signboard will maintain a uniform
look for the District and allow for expedited updating when a new partner is added. The intent is
to centralize recognition signs for Board-approved partners, including grant funder signs, in a
highly visible and accessible location, and reduce sign clutter in the preserves.
R-18-153 Page 3
FISCAL IMPACT
The addition of Section VI, Partner Recognition Signboards, to Board Policy 5.01 will not result
in a direct fiscal impact to the Fiscal Year 2018-19 budget. If approved, the District would be
responsible for future purchases and installations of new signboards. Costs associated with
partner recognition signboards would be incorporated into future Capital Improvement and
Action Plans and Budgets. Below is the FY2018-19 cost estimate for a new signboard, which is
expected to increase over time with inflation. Recent costs have risen due to tariffs enacted by
the federal government that have increased the cost of materials such as metal. Signboards have
an average lifespan of more than 10 years.
Standard Partner Recognition Signboard Total Cost = $5,098
• Metal Signboard: $4,500; if ordering bulk (15 or more) price drops to $2,490
• Redwood Frame: $598
• Installation Cost: Crew Time
Existing partner signs will remain as is and may be replaced in the future on a case-by-case basis
as additional partner recognitions for each Preserve are considered and approved by the Board.
BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW
The Legislative, Funding and Public Affairs Committee (LFPAC) reviewed this item on
December 4, 2018 (Attachment 3). The committee asked several questions, which are listed
below with the responses.
Question Response
The anticipated cost impacts. A portion of the costs will be a net zero
increase since the District is required to
purchase and install certain recognition signs
as part of grant funding agreements.
Requirements for approving recommended
partners.
Staff would present the recommended list of
new partners to be recognized to LFPAC and
if supported, forwarded the list to the full
Board for approval.
Level of partner outreach efforts and input on
the proposed policy.
Partner agencies, including POST, Santa
Clara County Parks, San Mateo County Parks,
and Committee for Green Foothills provided
input on the proposed policy.
How exceptions to the policy will be handled. The proposed policy includes language stating
that exceptions to the policy would be
reviewed by LFPAC and the Board.
LFPAC unanimously recommended that the addition of Section VI Partner Recognition
Signboard to Board Policy 5.01 – Site Naming, Gift, and Special Recognition be forwarded to
the full Board for approval.
R-18-153 Page 4
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public notice was provided as required by the Brown Act. Organizations the District frequently
partners with, such as POST, Santa Clara County Parks, San Mateo County Parks, and the
Committee for Green Foothills have also been notified.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
The proposed action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and no environmental review is required.
NEXT STEPS
Upon Board approval, the General Manager would direct staff to implement the updated policy.

Board Policy 5.01 Page 1 of 5
I. SITE NAMING
All District site names and signs should be kept as simple and functional as possible. When a
property is acquired, either as an addition to an existing preserve or for the establishment of
a new preserve, a name will be recommended in the Preliminary Use and Management Plan.
In most cases, "open space preserve" is appropriate as part of the name; however, there
may be circumstances when another designation may be used. In some cases, a temporary
name may be retained until the next Comprehensive Use and Management Plan review.
A. Open Space Preserves
The name given to each open space preserve should be general enough to remain suitable if
the site is enlarged, but specific enough to give its location some significance. Properties
added to an open space preserve may not always be contiguous with that preserve.
1. Preserves shall be named after:
a)Geographical features of broad, general significance to the
preserve;
b) Historical persons, cultural names, uses, or events broadly
associated with the locale.
2. Preserves shall not be named after any individuals other than
historical persons as noted above.
B. Preserve Areas, Trails, Site Improvements, Historic Sites and Unnamed Natural
Features
This designation refers to specific locations, land formations, trails, natural and physical
features, staging areas and other site improvements, and areas of significance within
open space preserves. Recognition of significant land gifts, including "bargain" purchases,
will be negotiated at the time of the gift or bargain purchase.
1. Preserve areas, trails, site improvements including benches and
bridges, historic sites and previously unnamed natural features shall ordinarily be named
ATTACHMENT 1
Board Policy 5.01 Page 2 of 5
after:
a)Geographical, botanical or zoological identification;
b) Historical persons, uses, or events associated with the site, or
persons and organizations listed in Section III: “Special Recognition”.
2. Preserve areas, trails, site improvements, historic sites and unnamed natural
features may in rare instances be named after a living individual who has made an
outstanding contribution to the District, subject to approval by the Board of Directors.
II.GIFT RECOGNITION
The purpose of the gift recognition policy is to provide an opportunity for the District to
recognize and commend individuals or groups that have made significant contributions of
cash, equipment, materials, goods or professional services toward the enhancement of the
District, its programs, and its facilities.
A. Unsolicited Cash Gifts:
Up to $25 Postcard of thanks
$26 to $499 Letter signed by General Manager
$500 to $1,999 Letter signed by President of the Board
$2,000 to $4,999 Letter signed by President of the Board and District gift
item (note cards, etc.)
$5,000 to $9,999 Letter signed by President of the Board and framed
photograph of favorite District preserve
$10,000 or more Letter signed by President of the Board and Resolution and
framed photograph of District preserve and mention in a
District publication*
*These items will be provided only if desired by the donor.
III.SPECIAL RECOGNITION
The Legislative, Funding and Public Affairs Committee (LFPAC) shall be the committee
designated to discuss all requests that meet the criteria of the policy for special recognition
made by members of the Board of Directors, and after deliberation shall forward a
recommendation to the full Board for a vote.
The General Manager or his/her designee will review constituent bench dedication requests to
determine eligibility based on the policy guidelines outlined below in Section III D.
Constituent bench requests may be brought to LFPAC if there exists ambiguity regarding
whether the request meets the requirements below.
The District places benches in its preserves for three distinct purposes:
Board Policy 5.01 Page 3 of 5
A. District Rest Benches
These benches provide constituents with a place to rest. District staff places these
benches without involving a District committee or the full Board. Regular benches must be
either a backed or a backless standard bench as described in Section V below.
B. Constituent Bench Dedications
These are benches which have been requested by constituents in order to honor or memorialize
a member of the public and are funded by the requestors who must pay $5,000 for a 10-year
term. Requests must be in reference to a significant supporter or a volunteer, as defined in
Section III D below. The General Manager or his/her designee reviews requests to determine if
they meet the eligibility definitions. Requests that are administratively declined because they
do not meet the eligibility definitions may be appealed to the General Manager for a second
review. Eligible requests will be administratively implemented.
a)Constituent bench dedications shall only be selected from and placed in
locations that have been pre-determined by the District and/or approved by the Planning and
Natural Resources Committee and/or by the full Board of Directors.
b)If a request for a constituent bench meets the eligibility requirements,
the requestor(s) shall pay for the cost of constructing, installing and maintaining a bench and
plaque by contributing $5,000 to cover the 10-year dedication term of the bench.
c) Bench plaques will be 2 x 6 inches in size.
d) Benches must be one of the two District standard bench designs.
e)Constituent bench dedications will have a term limit of 10 years. After
10 years, the original donor will have the option to contribute an additional $5,000 donation for
each additional 10-year term. Should the original donor decline to renew an existing bench, the
bench will be offered to the public for re-dedication.
C. District Bench Dedications
These are benches which are installed by the District in response to requests by members
of the Board of Directors to honor "Founders," "Significant Supporters", and “Volunteers”.
a)LFPAC can initiate a bench request and refer a decision to the full
Board or individual Board members can initiate a bench request which will be referred to
LFPAC for discussion before it is referred to the full Board for a final decision. Honorees must
be "Founders", "Significant Supporters", and “Volunteers” (per policy Section III D below).
b) For these benches there are no design specification limits or limits
on their location. The District will pay for the lifetime cost of the bench.
D. Founders, Significant Supporters, and Volunteers
"Founders", "Significant Supporters", and “Volunteers” are eligible for special
recognition, including memorials.
"Founders" shall be defined as an individual or group of individuals who participated in
the formation of the District, or were significant supporters of the formation of the
District.
Board Policy 5.01 Page 4 of 5
"Significant Supporters" shall be defined as individuals or group of individuals who have shown
conspicuous or noteworthy support for the District through extraordinary contributions of time
and effort to the advancement of the goals, philosophy and mission of the District.
“Volunteers” shall be defined as individuals or groups of individuals who donated a minimum
of 250 volunteer hours and 5 years of service to the District by working for the District’s docent
or volunteer program.
IV.RECOGNITION OF HISTORIC SITES
A.A recognition monument, normally in plaque form, may be considered by the
Board if it is in relation to a specific existing building or other remaining structure of
significant historic value. In such cases, the plaque will be affixed or in close proximity to the
structure itself. If there is no structure, then recognition may he considered for inclusion on
District informational materials or trail signage. Such a site, in the absence of a building or
structure, will ordinarily not be physically marked except as determined by the Board on a
case-by-case basis as part of the Use and Management planning process for the
corresponding open space preserve.
Any Board-approved memorial names shall be included in site brochures, maps, or
other informational materials.
V. STANDARD BENCH DESIGN SPECIFICATION
A. District Rest Benches and Constituent Bench Dedications, described in III (A) and
(B) above, are limited to either of the two following standard bench designs:
Backed bench:
Dumor - Bench 88, recycled plastic slates (color: CEDAR), steel leg supports
(color: BLACK, IMBEDDED)
6’ or 8’ lengths
Backless bench:
Dumor - Bench 103, recycled plastic slates (color: CEDAR), steel leg supports
(color: BLACK, IMBEDDED)
103-60PL 6' long, 3 supports
103-80PL 8' long, 3 supports
B. The General Manager or LFPAC can at any point bring designs to the Board
that differ from the District’s standard bench designs.
VI.PARTNER RECOGNITION SIGNBOARD
Partner recognition signboards provide an opportunity for the District to recognize and
acknowledge significant partners who have made conspicuous or noteworthy contributions of
cash, land, and/or time that were instrumental to the conservation, restoration, management,
Board Policy 5.01 Page 5 of 5
and/or public opening of a preserve. Partners may include agencies, organizations, or
individuals. Partner Recognition Signboards may also be used to satisfy recognition
requirements specified in grant, purchase, or other funding agreements.
Excluding recognitions previously approved by the Board (e.g. recognitions required in Board-
approved agreements and resolutions), LFPAC shall review and forward for Board approval the
list of partner(s) to recognize on the Partner Recognition Signboard. Following Board approval,
the General Manager or his/her designee will follow the guidelines and specifications listed
below.
a.Guidelines and Specifications:
a)Partner Recognition Signboards shall be standalone signboards that
follow the same design specifications as the District’s standard
trailhead signboards to maintain District branding and visual
cohesiveness.
b)Partner Recognition Signboards shall normally be placed directly
adjacent to existing preserve signboards to consolidate trailhead
information and signboard placement.
c)Recognition content shall include logos and/or names.
d)The District will review recognition content with each partner for
accuracy and completeness.
e)The General Manager or his/her designee will approve the final
recognition content.
f)Exceptions to these guidelines and specifications will be forwarded
to LFPAC for review and to the full Board for consideration of
approval.

LA HONDA CREEK OPEN SPACE PRESERVE
Peninsula Open Space Trust’s (POST) role in the La Honda Creek Open
Space Preserve began in the 1980’s. Since then, with the support of our
donors, POST has worked to enhance the conservation values of the land
and added to the total size, including the addition of the 3,986-acre
former Driscoll Ranch property. By 2015, POST had completed the transfer
of over 4,500-acres to Midpen to become part of this public preserve with
its panoramic views, variety of natural habitats, wildlife migration
corridors and other valued landmarks.

MEMO TO: MROSD Board of Directors
THROUGH: Ana Ruiz, AICP, General Manager
FROM: Carmen Narayanan, Budget & Analysis Manager
SUBJECT: Measure AA Fund Update
_____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION
Measure AA is a $300 million general obligation bond approved in June 2014 by over two-thirds
of Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District) voters. The Measure AA authorization
provides funding for the top 25 Vision Plan project portfolios. As of June 30, 2018, the District
has expended $49.2 million and issued $95 million of the $300 million authorization. Progress
has been made in 20 of the 25 portfolios.
District staff met twice in November 2018 to discuss all 25 Measure AA portfolios, reviewing
original bond language, assessing original funding allocations, and determining the status of each
priority action within the portfolios. During these meetings, staff reviewed original fund
allocations for each portfolio compared to progress made, to determine if any funds may be
available to transfer between portfolios for addressing potential project funding gaps.
Based on this assessment, reallocation of funds between portfolios is neither recommended
nor requested at this time.
Staff discussed each of the 25 portfolios in detail, identifying the approximate level of
completion for the individual priority actions under each portfolio. Priority actions were assigned
levels of completion from 0-25 percent, 25-50 percent, 50-75 percent, and 100 percent complete.
Priority action status updates for each portfolio will be presented in the annual FY2017-18
Measure AA Bond Annual Accountability report, which the Board will receive later this month.
Staff also reviewed preliminary Measure AA funding options for the District’s portion to fund
the potential San Jose Water Company (SJWC) land acquisition, which was projected to be
approximately $28 million, as part of a funding/grants consortium. Staff had originally
identified available funding within multiple portfolios (portfolios 18, 19, 21, 22, 23 and 25),
pending Board approval. However, due to opportunistic land acquisition purchases since May
2018 and other capital projects underway, funding the SJWC land acquisition from these
portfolios will not be sufficient and places undue stress on the funding availability within those
identified portfolios.
Instead, at such time as transactions for the SJWC land acquisition may proceed, staff will
propose to use portfolio 15 to fund the District’s portion of the potential SJWC land acquisition.
One of the main purposes for the portfolio, Redwood Protection, is consistent with the potential
SJWC acquisition. Additionally, utilizing one single portfolio (15) will improve reporting and
tracking of this transaction both internally and externally. With this change, there is no need to
reallocate funds prematurely as portfolio 15 has sufficient funds available.
Portfolio 15 is a regional, non-site-specific portfolio. The ballot language for portfolio 15 reads:
Regional: Redwood Protection and Salmon Fishery Conservation: Preserve additional open
space as available. Protect and enhance redwood stands, mountain scenery, various habitats
and steelhead salmon. ($50,728,000)
Graphically, this portfolio is represented by a star in the Pescadero Creek watershed in an
attempt to centrally place the star in the redwood forest areas of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The
portfolio applies to all redwood forests of interest within the District’s larger jurisdiction, and
thus can be a funding source for the potential SJWC land acquisition.
NEXT STEPS
Periodically, staff will review Measure AA portfolios in detail. Discussions will include review
of the original bond language, review of the original funding allocations, and determination of
the status for priority action items within each of the 25 portfolios.
Staff will bring forward portfolio fund reallocation recommendations as needed to the Board, but
not more than once per fiscal year, per the limits of the Measure AA Expenditure Plan.
