PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
A. APPROVAL OF AGENDA

Directors For: Colin Coffey, Ellen Corbett, Whitney Dotson, Beverly Lane, Dee Rosario, Dennis Waespi, Ayn Wieskamp. Directors Against: None. Directors Absent: None.
B. PUBLIC COMMENTS Kristen Tennessen stated she lives near the Contra Costa Canal Trail and Iron Horse Trail. She commented on how much her family appreciates the District. She asked that the District stop ticketing e-scooters and allow them onto the trail, and suggested a study be created. DGM Alvarez thanked her for her comments and stated staff will look at their pilot studies. Danny Milks, a Walnut Creek resident said he bikes his son and friends to school every day. He thanked the District for the trails and asked the District to allow e-scooters on the trails and to look at it as safety.
Steve Hollister, a representative of Castro Valley Forest Fire Prevention (CVFFP) Ad Hoc committee stated that they are using public comments after a written request for the Ten Hill trails fire mitigation to be placed 8 Unapproved Minutes Board Meeting of November 19, 2019 on the agenda was denied. Public comments provide no chance for action or follow up. Hollister complimented the District for the Lake Chabot abatement. Hollister stated there was lack of treatment in some specific areas. On a more positive note, many property owners are clearing a 100 ft area. Brad Onstad, a member of CVFFP, commented that District leaders have done little to reduce the fire exposure. Onstad stated that many other agencies have acknowledged more work needs to be extended, and CFVVP has asked for work to be extended. Onstad said the District continues to make decisions based on a 12-year old fire mitigation report. As of January 2019, the Public Utilities Commission, along with Cal fire and PG&E, has published mapping of the area which indicates an extreme fire danger. Don Osborne, a member of CVFFP, thanked the Park District for fixing the oak tree problem. Osborne stated CVFFP understands a LC9 next year, but why wait. Osborne commented that there is red flag warning today for another severe wind event and PG&E is planning to shut the power down again to residences along the Ten Hills trails. Osborne explained he helps support neighbors when there is a power outage. Osborne stated there needs to be No Smoking signs installed in the park. Osborne said it is time to get the work done and be fire protection friendly. John Sullivan, member of the CVFFP, passed out photos to the Board depicting the state of Ten Hills Trail. He remarked that to continue fire mitigation of the trail is not a huge undertaking.
DGM Alvarez announced that she just received notice that there is no planned power outage in Alameda County. The District has a planning document based on science pertaining to wildfire hazard reduction that is on the District website. The planned area will stand in perpetuity, the District has permits in hand, and staff will continue doing recommended treatments.
Director Coffey said that this item is not on the agenda. District Counsel said that it is not on the agenda and suggested it not be discussed further. Director Lane acknowledged that everyone in her ward is also concerned about fire as our many other areas in the District. This will be addressed from a policy sense and the District will be as responsive as possible.

Lisa Baldinger, Acting Grants Manager replied staff are proposing four grants to move forward on this project.

j. Authorization to Purchase Three Chevrolet Vehicles from Winner Chevrolet for Vehicle Replacements and an Addition to the Fleet Resolution No. 2019 – 11 - (attached) Director Rosario observed that California is no longer purchasing from Chevrolet unless they sign the compact to build low emission vehicles. AGM O’Connor read the press release, State Announces New Purchasing Policies to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the State’s Vehicle Fleet order into the record, which stated that the Department of General Services (DGS) will prohibit purchase by state agencies of any sedans solely powered by an internal combustion engine. GM/Chevrolet, Fila, Chrysler and Toyota have not agreed to sign on to this policy. Ford, Honda, BMW and Volkswagen have agreed to sign on. O’Connor said that this policy is of interest to the District’s efforts to green the fleet. The District has been using Toyota vehicles, and one of the big efforts to complete the fleet has been the purchase of Prius and Volts, and staff need to have a more in-depth discussion. Director Corbett asked if due to this new protocol, staff should schedule future standing committees or Board meetings to discuss. DGM Alvarez said this is a two-prong approach; Board Operations committee followed by Executive committee. O’Connor said these vehicles will be in effect with the current policy. Corbett said in light of this policy statement coming from the Governor’s office, she wouldn’t feel comfortable voting on this today and suggested putting it over to the next meeting. This item was pulled from the Consent Calendar.
k. Authorization to Renew Contract for Youth Employment Services with Civicorps Schools for 2020 Resolution No. 2019 – 11 -300 (attached) Director Waespi remarked that Civicorps does wonderful work and asked if staff could expand the amount of time for fire mitigation work. AGM O’Connor replied he and Chief Theile will discuss. Director Rosario 10 Unapproved Minutes Board Meeting of November 19, 2019 commented that he is happy to continue engagement with EBCC and SCA and hopes the District can build an employment bridge to get this youth into our system.
l. Approval of 2020 Consolidated Fee Schedule Resolution No. 2019 – 11 - 301 (attached) Director Rosario expressed concern about projections for 2021. AGM O’Connor replied that staff reviewed a suite of other facilities annually and did a comparison. O’Connor stated the District is still at the lower end of fees. Tiffany Margulici, Acting Grants Manager, said this is an overall structure change with a goal to simplify and consolidate for affordability. This fee schedule is for 2021, and in most cases, there has been no increase in five years and now staff are making fees all inclusive. The District is still below comparable market average. Rosario stated that staff should keep an eye on the usage drop off to determine if people find it too expensive. Rosario noted that Dumbarton Quarry has a $20 increase. Margulici replied this is because it is all-inclusive, includes WIFI, and is new. Waespi thanked staff and Operations for their work on the schedule. Waespi asked if a banner could be added to the District website stating Board material is free. President Wieskamp thanked Noah Dort for his work on the consolidated fee schedule.

2. FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES DIVISION
By motion of Director Lane, and seconded by Director Rosario, the Board voted unanimously to approve Item 2a.
Directors For: Colin Coffey, Ellen Corbett, Beverly Lane, Whitney Dotson, Dee Rosario, Dennis Waespi, Ayn Wieskamp. Directors Against: None. Directors Absent: None. Directors Abstain: None.
a. Approval of the Major Infrastructure Renovation and Replacement (MIRR) Fund Policy Resolution No. 2019 – 11 -303 (attached)
Debra Auker, AGM/FMS introduced this item. Deborah Spaulding AFO, began with a partial list of the vast assets of the District. She stated the District’s goal with this policy is to develop a major infrastructure renovation and replacement fund that functions like the Districts current Major Equipment Replacement Fund. An internal service fund where staff know what District assets are, when they will be replaced and is funded proactively. Spaulding outlined the steps taken to implement the MIRR, which are to: 1) Inventory all assets; 2) Establish performance standards; 3) Allocate Resources; 4) Monitor and Report on Progress. Spaulding defined the MIRR Fund Policy, explained the Performance Standards, what is the funding target, how much is in MIRR Reserves, what are the Pavement Condition and Facilities Condition Index, what is the funding target and how much money needs to be held in MIRR reserves. DGM Alvarez commented that she was appreciative that this was being brought forward. Director Lane asked if this money will appear in the budget. Spaulding replied yes.
Director Rosario said that if the policy is adopted and the recession comes, does the District have flexibility to not put in a certain amount. DGM Alvarez answered yes. DGM Auker agreed, noting that it is in the written policy. Director Rosario and Director Lane asked what the strategy is for maintaining the District’s Facility Condition Index (FIC). O’Connor replied that strategy is still being worked out to determine the most efficient ways to tackle the issue. Alvarez commented that when staff finishes this work, they will 11 Unapproved Minutes Board Meeting of November 19, 2019 explain in depth the process to the Board and the Board will be able to prioritize other projects. O’Connor said staff is good at leveraging.
Director Waespi asked if the District puts aside $7.5 million, who loses? Spaulding restated that what suffers over the long term, FCI scores improve, the maintenance costs go down and over the long term it will save the District money. Auker stated there is no loss to the District. By not setting aside funds it does a disservice to the agency. Waespi asked if staff thought of the discretionary stuff – OPEB and CalPERS? Auker replied that staff have identified a lot of the District’s unfunded liabilities, and there are different types of reserves.
Director Corbett agreed with priority concerns, however with more information staff can plan into the future; it does force staff to make certain decisions which can be hard. Corbett asked about the FCI chart and what does not include all structures, refer to. Jeff Rasmussen, AFO replied that staff are in the final phase of completion and certain things were excluded. Rasmussen explained that in early 2020 there will be a complete list. FCI scores may need to be updated and per Auker are brought before the Executive committee every year. Director Coffey asked about the MIRR fund. Auker explained the goals of this funding strategy are to have money set aside annually, so money is accumulated, and when needed to replace equipment. For example, staff have it saved instead of pulling it out of the general fund. Wieskamp stated that she looks on this document as a goal, and asked if staff have factored in the increase in material costs? This is not an easy goal, and staff will have a tough time with a Board that wants it all. Auker agreed it establishes a goal, will help to support the program and the auditors view, and staff recommend approval of this policy and its goals.
3. BOARD AND STAFF REPORTS
a. Actions Taken by Other Jurisdictions Affecting the Park District
Deputy General Manager Alvarez discussed the two items in this report. Director Lane thanked staff for accommodating San Ramon’s interest in open space.
4. GENERAL MANAGER’S COMMENTS
a. Presentation from Operations Division. AGM O’Connor will provide an update on the Park District’s actions to implement the resolution for eliminating glyphosate.
DGM Alvarez introduced this item. Jim O’Connor, AGM Operations thought this was a priority to do a presentation before the budget process. O’Connor discussed the resolution approved in July which immediately banned glyphosate in picnic areas and eliminates glyphosate in all developed park areas by December 31, 2020. Staff will develop an implementation plan and study the Park District’s IPM policy and practices. The guiding principles include keeping employees safe, effectively managing vegetation, being fiscally responsible, ensure District-wide implementation of IPM principles and effectively communicate to the Board and to the public. The work to date was discussed, operational adaptive strategy and the upcoming 2020 calendar year was discussed. O’Connor acknowledged Steve Castile, Becky Tuden, Pamela Beitz and Katherine Dudney for their work.
Director Rosario asked if there is data on some of Brierly’s information. Pam Beitz explained that per staff the bare ground applications in Del Valle are effective. Rosario asked if staff are considering plant conversion? Beitz said everything she touches is competitive planting to reduce the amount of weed pressure. Director Corbett asked if staff are keeping track of weed abatement deadlines. O’Connor replied that is the plan. O’Connor said that is the core challenge of Operations. 12 Unapproved Minutes Board Meeting of November 19, 2019 Corbett asked if there will be a change in priority planning to pre-plan. O’Connor replied it is a challenge to balance best IPM practices and park aesthetics. Director Lane commented that she appreciates the report, but the parks in her area have minimal staff and in terms of maintaining the park there will be work that won’t be done. Director Coffey said that there will be greater growth in some parks, and staff might want to give thought to those. O’Connor said the staff are committed to do their best efforts. Director Waespi said he appreciates the great work. Wieskamp said that staff need to plan with Public Affairs to spread the message, so the public understands the District is not neglecting the parks. DGM Alvarez replied staff has been extremely responsive to the Board’s direction.
b. Maintenance Superintendent Eric Bowman and Alternative Work Program (AWP) Supervisor Patrick Demmons will update the Board on the first year of the Park District’s Small Trails Crew. AGM Operations, Jim O’Connor introduced this item and explained that five years ago staff began discussing forming a small trails crew. Staff created a small trails crew to do strategic work and assist the park supervisor. Eric Bowman, Maintenance Superintendent opened with the program goals to create and develop a small trails crew, enhance partnership with the Student Conservation Association, and support and aid the young adult community by providing environmental service projects. Patrick Demmons, AWP Supervisor discussed each of the trail crew projects at Redwood Park, Pleasanton Ridge, Tilden, Anthony Chabot and Sunol. There were 18 project sites, 16 miles of trail were rehabilitated, and .9 miles of new trail constructed. Demmons also created a position to survey the trails and identify any area in need of maintenance. Demmons introduced the four-member crew. Director Rosario stated this is a great boom and benefit to the public the District serves. Directors Rosario and Waespi expressed the hope to retain the crew as District professionals. Lane said that the small crew is wonderful and appreciates the survey intern. Jay Watts, Regional Vice President of Wester U.S. of SCA said he is glad to be back in partnership with the District. O’Connor said that Demmons is a fast learner and is amazing. Rosario commented that he is glad to include the SCA. Rosario stated that Patrick Demmons received an award for his leadership in the Alameda County Work Development to work on storm damage trails, and he is an awesome employee.
Public Comment Kelly Abreu said that the last 600 ft. of the trail has been quadrupled due to the volume of traffic at Mission Peak. He encouraged staff to go to Mission Peak to observe the trail change.

D. BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD
1. CONSENT CALENDAR
c. Authorization to Renew a Ground Lease to Phoenix Commons, Inc.: San Francisco Bay Trail (Reeves/Kelchner)
RECOMMENDATION
The General Manager recommends that the Board of Directors authorize staff to renew the lease of a portion of the Oakland Inner Harbor Tidal Canal to Phoenix Commons, Inc. a cohousing condominium community located on the Oakland Estuary that maintains and operates a publicly- accessible dock and private kayak launch under a prior lease with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The lease is proposed to be renewed for ten additional years, with an option to extend for ten additional years. The Army assigned this lease to the Park District as successor lessor when ownership of a portion of the tidal canal transferred from the Army to the Park District in 2018.
COST/REVENUE
There are no direct costs associated with renewing this lease other than staff time. The revenue received from the first year of the lease will be $2,050 which will be applied to General Fund Account No. 101-7330-000-3791. Thereafter, rent will be adjusted annually based upon any increase in the Consumer Price Index.
BACKGROUND
In 2018, the Park District acquired a portion of the Oakland Inner Harbor Tidal Canal (Canal Parcel) from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to enable the Park District to proceed with Bay Trail planning and development activities along the Oakland side of the canal (Board Resolution 2016-12-317). Along with the transfer of the Canal Parcel, the Army assigned to the Park District as successor lessor ground leases for two piers that extend into the Canal Parcel and are operated by property owners adjacent to the canal. One of these piers is currently maintained and operated by Phoenix Commons, Inc., which owns and operates an adult cohousing community located at the edge of the canal next to the Park Street Bridge in Oakland. In 2012 the developer of the Phoenix Commons project, Alameda Zimmerman Properties, LLC, obtained a ground lease from the Army for one of these piers that encompasses approximately 1,575 square feet of uplands and 2,555 square feet of submerged lands. This pier was previously the
16 site of the Tiki Tom’s restaurant that was destroyed by fire in 2010. In accordance with the ground lease from the Army and a separate permit issued by the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), the developer constructed a new pier on the pilings of the old pier that includes a publicly-accessible area as well as a private floating dock for exclusive use by the residents of Phoenix Commons. Pursuant to the BCDC permit requirements, the developer also constructed a public promenade along the shoreline to close a gap in the Bay Trail and connect the trail to Park Street.
The proposed renewal of the ground lease will allow Phoenix Commons to continue to operate and maintain the pier pursuant to the requirements of the BCDC permit which include responsibility to maintain the publicly accessible portion of the pier as an amenity that enhances the San Francisco Bay Trail user experience along the Oakland Estuary.
The lease term will be ten years with an option for Phoenix Commons to extend the lease for an additional ten-year period. The first-year annual rent of $2,050 is set based on an appraisal commissioned by the Park District to establish the fair market rental rate and is subject to an annual rental adjustment based on any increase in the Consumer Price Index. Rent will be charged only on the approximately 650 square-foot portion of the pier that is for the exclusive use of the Phoenix Commons residents.
There are no operational impacts from renewing the ground lease. Pursuant to the terms of the lease and the BCDC permit, Phoenix Commons is responsible for maintaining all areas of the pier in good repair.
ALTERNATIVES
No alternative is recommended.

d. Authorization to Continue the Reserve America Camping Software License Agreement with Aspira Connect for up to Five Additional Years: District- wide (Margulici/O’Connor)
RECOMMENDATION
The General Manager recommends that the Board of Directors authorize the continuation of a month-to-month camping software license agreement with Aspira Connect for up to five years.
REVENUE/COST
The annual cost for the Aspira Connect contract includes: a $20,000 yearly support and maintenance fee, a $4.25 per internet transaction fee, and a $2.00 per call center transaction fee. The fee for the license agreement has remained consistent since 2006 and funding has been allocated in the Information Services Department Support Contracts budget. Transaction fees, which are estimated at $70,000 annually, are funded from the Reservations Department Professional Services budget.
BACKGROUND
The Park District has used the Reserve America system continuously since 1993 for camping reservations. Initially, the system only allowed reservations to be made over the phone via the Park District’s call center. In 2006, the software license agreement was amended to include the ability to make online reservations in addition to phone reservations. Over 15,000 camping reservations per year are managed through this system. Nearly 80 percent of family campsite reservations are made online.
While the Reserve America brand name has stayed constant, the software has had several ownership changes over the course of the agreement. The Reserve America system was initially owned by Reserve America, Inc. Subsequently, it was acquired by Active Network, Inc. in 2008 and is now owned by Aspira Connect.
This is an ongoing software license, which the Park District may terminate at any time with sixty (60) days written notice. The Park District approved an amendment to the software license
22 agreement in 2008 (Resolution No. 2008-2-037). The Board of Directors authorized the continuation of the agreement in 2014 (Resolution No. 2014-12-300). Appendix E of the Board Operating Guidelines states that multi-year contracts over $50,000 must have Board approval every five (5) years.

e. Authorization to Enter into a Concession Agreement with Urban Park Concessionaires for Little Hills Ranch: Little Hills Recreation Area (Margulici/O’Connor)
RECOMMENDATION
The General Manager and the Board Operations Committee (by unanimous vote) at the November 21, 2019 meeting, recommend the Board of Directors authorize a ten-year Concession Agreement, with one additional five-year term by mutual consent with Urban Park Concessionaires (UPC) for the Little Hills Recreation Area known as Little Hills Ranch in Las Trampas Regional Wilderness.
REVENUE/COST
The proposed Concession Agreement is expected to generate revenue of $56,100 annually, representing 4% of total gross monthly receipts. In addition, 10% of total gross monthly receipts, up to $140,300 annually, will be set aside in a site-specific Concession Maintenance Fund (CMF). The CMF will be used to cover costs for routine maintenance repairs, to purchase new and replace existing equipment, and make improvements to the facility. The proposed Concession Agreement commits Urban Parks Concessionaires to spending at least $460,000 for improvement projects in the first ten years and $250,000 in the second five-year term. The Park District will be the sole owner of any improvements.
BACKGROUND
The Little Hills Regional Recreation Area facility, currently known as Little Hills Ranch (Little Hills), is an enclosed reservable picnic/special event park with controlled access. Little Hills is a seasonal facility and includes the capacity for limited food and beverage services for corporate and private group picnics and special events; midweek corporate seminars, functions, and night parties, as well as day camps for up to 1400 people. Urban Parks Concessionaires, part of Basecamp Hospitality (previously known as California Parks Company), is the current concessionaire and has been in contract with the Park District since 1983.
26 On May 3, 2019, the East Bay Regional Park District issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking an experienced concessionaire to operate the reservable picnic and event park facility in Little Hills. To offer open competition to the public, the RFP was posted in the local newspapers under Legal Ads, posted on the Park District’s website, posted on a government RFP advertising website, and sent directly to five local businesses in the picnic and event industry resulting in one submittal from UPC.
Park District staff reviewed the proposal and interviewed representatives from UPC to determine how UPC would best accomplish the defined expectations listed in the RFP and meet the Park District’s concessionaire agreement requirements. After consideration of the proposal and interview, it was determined that UPC met the Park District’s criteria; therefore, UPC is being recommended by Park District staff for the Board’s consideration.
UPC are committed to continued facility improvement and enhancement, high quality group services, stable and effective management, and significant license and maintenance fee generation. They are committed to preserve and enhance the condition of the Concession while maintaining an environmentally and economically viable operation.
UPC considers capital projects to be a critical concession element and their plan includes improvement projects funded entirely by UPC. UPC’s highest priority projects are to reconfigure and/or improve the irrigated meadow with a reduced footprint by adding a new sports court on the side of the field abutting the existing asphalt, and to implement a greening program to reduce waste. Other proposed capital investment projects include an animal interpretation structure, challenge course additions, an interpretive garden, and picnic area improvements. All proposed projects will be approved by the Park District staff before commencement.
ALTERNATIVES
None are recommended.

The General Manager recommends that the Board of Directors authorize a consulting services contract with PlaceWorks, Inc. (PlaceWorks) of Berkeley, California in the amount of $250,000 for master planning services that include public outreach, community meeting facilitation, a conceptual master plan, and a cost estimate with a phasing scheme for park expansion at Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach Regional Shoreline.
REVENUE/COST
Sufficient funding for the consulting services contract is available from the source of funds indicated below.
SOURCE OF FUNDS Assess and Demo McKay Bldgs Project (No. 154200) $ 1,107,968 Encumbrances and Expenditures to Date (651,402) BALANCE AVAILABLE $ 456,566
USE OF FUNDS Contract with PlaceWorks, Inc. for Master Planning Services $ 250,000 BALANCE REMAINING $ 206,566
BACKGROUND
The Park District acquired a 3.89-acre parcel from the federal government in 2015 to expand recreational uses at Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach Regional Shoreline. Under the same purchase agreement, the Park District gained maintenance and operational responsibility for a 500-foot portion of McKay Avenue, a private street, from the State of California. The addition of these properties necessitates a master plan for cohesive integration of these areas into the existing park.
30 Two former office buildings were acquired along with the 3.89-acre parcel. The Park District demolished one of these buildings in April 2018, and the status of the remaining building is to be determined.
In order to proceed with a master planning process, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for consulting services was developed. The RFQ was advertised on January 23, 2018, and thirteen Statements of Qualifications were received by the February 22, 2018, deadline. Six firms were shortlisted and requested to provide additional information and proposals. In addition, the six firms made presentations to, and were interviewed by a selection committee comprised of Park District staff. PlaceWorks was determined to be the highest ranked firm.
The consultant’s scope of services includes, but is not limited to, public outreach, facilitation of community meetings, concept plan alternatives, a conceptual master plan, and cost estimate with a phasing scheme. Contract terms and conditions have been successfully negotiated with PlaceWorks. Park District staff recommends awarding the consulting services contract to PlaceWorks in the amount of $250,000.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Demolition of the office building was categorically exempt under Section 15332 as an in-fill development project. The master plan may be subject to further CEQA review.

The General Manager recommends that the Board of Directors authorize an amendment to the contract for professional services with WRA, Inc. of San Rafael, California (WRA) for supplemental permitting tasks, additional landscape services, permit compliance services and construction support to restore native dune habitat, remove large debris legacy structures, and improve shoreline protection at Encinal Beach in Alameda Point Regional Shoreline.
REVENUE/COST
The additional work in this contract amendment to can be completed for $93,800. Measure WW funds have previously been allocated to this project and are available for use for this action in Restore Beach Alameda Point, as shown below.

PROPOSED USE OF FUNDS
Amendment to a Contract with WRA, Inc. $ 93,800 BALANCE REMAINING $ 561,141
BACKGROUND
Alameda Point is a Bay shoreline property on the west side of the island of Alameda, leased by the Park District from the City of Alameda (lease initiated on December 31, 2006). This one- acre park has Bay Trail connections and is sheltered by a long rock levee that protects the small
44 bay and serves as a popular spot for marine anglers. While some improvements were made to the park at its inception, the dune area (~0.5 acres) is overrun with non-native iceplant (Carpobrotus sp.) and the site hosts several legacy structures, making it less than optimal for park users and wildlife. These structures include a large rusting barge (possibly installed for erosion control purposes), a deteriorating chain link fence, and large wooden pier structures that have washed onto the beach.
The original contract with WRA was awarded in 2016. Since that time, District staff has worked extensively with the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) to reach agreement on the project design. The review of the project by BCDC took longer than anticipated and required additional work by WRA to revise the original design to meet BCDC’s requirements. In addition, now that the project is ready to be constructed in 2020, staff recommends providing additional scope so that WRA can oversee the construction to ensure that it complies with the design. Staff does not anticipate requesting additional amendments to WRA’s scope of work for this project and expects to be able to deliver the project in 2020.

RECOMMENDATION
The General Manager recommends that the Board of Directors authorize the acceptance of PG&E grant funds from the Regional Parks Foundation (Foundation) for the years 2017 through 2019 and appropriate funds for fuels management projects.

On behalf of the Park District, the Foundation has been awarded $75,000 in 2017, $25,000 in 2018, and $75,000 in 2019 from PG&E to be used for fuels management projects, implemented by the Park District’s Fire Department and in accordance with the Park District’s Wildfire Hazard Reduction and Resource Management Plan. Funds have been received by the Foundation for 2017 and 2018, and partial funds have been received for 2019. This action authorizes the acceptance of funds for 2017 and 2018, as well as 2019, pending project completion. Funds for 2017 and 2019 will be appropriated to Project No. 550000 and funds for 2018 will be appropriated to Project No. 514600 as shown below.

50 BACKGROUND
The Foundation was awarded $75,000 by PG&E on behalf of the Park District in 2017. These funds were used to hire a contractor to remove several large eucalyptus trees in Wildcat Canyon Regional Park near the Alvarado staging area and picnic sites. The objective of the project was to thin the eucalyptus stand and create a shaded fuel break to reduce the potential for crown fires and ember dissemination.
The $25,000 awarded to the Foundation by PG&E in 2018 was used to supplement FEMA grant funds for ladder fuels and accumulated surface fuel reduction on approximately 80 distinct sites in support of the Park District’s Alameda whipsnake research project. Civicorps crews were hired to perform the work in Tilden, Claremont Canyon, Robert Sibley, and Wildcat Canyon parks.
In 2019, the $75,000 awarded the Foundation was used to hire a contractor to treat fuels in a dense stand of eucalyptus near homes in Wildcat Canyon Regional Park. The objective of the project is to reduce fuel volume and the intensity of wildland fires near homes, power lines, and along heavily used trails. Approximately 80% of the work has been completed to date.

L. Authorization to Accept Funds from Almaden Associates, LLC for the Replace Water Tank Project: Las Trampas Regional Wilderness (Kelchner/Victor)
RECOMMENDATION
The General Manager recommends that the Board of Directors authorize the acceptance of $526,000 in funds from Almaden Associates, LLC for the Replace Water Tank Project: Las Trampas Water System.
REVENUE/COST
$526,000 will be placed in the Major Infrastructure Renovation and Replacement Fund (Fund 553).
BACKGROUND
In April 2018, the Board of Directors authorized proceeding with the replacement project for the Las Trampas water tank. The project replaced an aging 60,000-gallon redwood water tank on a hill above the park offices. The Las Trampas water system also serves the neighboring property at 18120 Bollinger Canyon Road formerly owned by Almaden Associates, LLC (part of the Corrie Development Corporation). The Park District and Almaden Associates, LLC have had an informal practice of splitting operational costs but have no formal written agreement in place for maintenance.
Park District staff negotiated a contribution from Almaden Associates, LLC toward the replacement project in the amount of $526,000. This amount was 50% of the project estimate at the time the deal was negotiated. During discussions with Almaden Associates, the property was sold to TTJ Management LLC. The funds due to the Park District are currently being held in the purchase and sale escrow account with Chicago Title Company.
While the tank replacement is complete, a project to replace the pipe from the tanks is on-going and near completion. Total project costs are approximately $1.427 million. This includes permits and $150,000 of staff time. Although actual project costs for the tank repair exceeded the original
62 estimate, staff recommends acceptance of the $526,000 because it was negotiated in good faith between the parties based on the parties’ best estimate at the time and it resolves an on-going dispute regarding maintenance of the shared water system.
To avoid future disputes, the Park District has been negotiating a written operation and maintenance agreement that will endeavor to apportion costs based on use. That agreement is expected to come before the Board for approval sometime next year once negotiations between the parties are completed.
ALTERNATIVES
No alternatives are recommended.

m. Acceptance of the East Bay Regional Park District Investment Report for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2019 (Spaulding/Auker)
RECOMMENDATION
The General Manager and the Board Finance Committee (by unanimous vote) recommend that the Board of Directors accept the Investment Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
REVENUE/COST
There is no revenue/cost impact associated with the acceptance of the report.
BACKGROUND
In accordance with Board Operating Guidelines and the Park District’s Investment Policy, the attached report has been prepared on the District’s cash and investments. The total market value of pooled cash and investments held by the Park District at September 30, 2019 was $233,732,526. The market value of the District’s pension trust fund, project bond funds and debt service funds held by trustees were an additional $84,781,863. Attachment A provides additional detail regarding these funds.
Liquidity Portfolio The District’s “liquid portfolio” (funds readily usable, convertible to cash with minimal impact to price) was $101.1million as of September 30, 2019. This amount is below the balance at the end of the last quarter by $36.1million. The is primarily due to the timing of receipt of property taxes, the vast majority of which are received in April and December. Most of the District’s liquid funds are held in CAMP and LAIF, which are statewide pooled cash funds.
Short & Mid-Term Securities As of September 30th, the total value of the District’s short-term and mid-term unrestricted securities was $132.6 million, $1.1 million higher than at June 30, 2019. The most significant change in investment was in US Treasuries holdings, which were $1.6 million higher than at the end of the first quarter. When compared to the prior year, a change in the District’s overall investment positioning can also be observed: the District has increased its investment in short-
66 term and mid-term securities – from $125.9 million in 2018 to $132.6 million in 2019. This strategy was implemented in order to safely increase investment returns in the District’s portfolio.
Bond Funds Project bond funds of $74.1 million were available at the end of the third quarter, $9.3 million less than at June 30, 2019. This was partly related to spending of the District’s Promissory Note Project funds to purchase the Peralta Oaks North building, an acquisition which was completed in April with the final drawdown on Promissory notes in July. Additionally, Measure WW funds were drawn for capital projects under construction, such as the SF Bay Trail project at Pinole Shores
As of September 30th, District’s debt service funds totaled $3.7 million, a significant decrease from the June 30th $20.7 amount, reflecting the Park District’s most debt service payment, which was made on September 1, 2019.
The following is a description of the information provided in report Attachments:
• Attachment A provides comparative investment balance information between the current quarter, the prior quarter and the same period one year ago.
• Attachment B provides a review of all investments managed by PFM.
• Attachment B, page 11 shows that the District’s invested funds at the end of the third quarter were in compliance with the Board approved 2019 Investment Policy.
• Attachment B, page 12 provides information on the managed portfolio maturity and credit quality.
• Attachment C shows all District cash and investments by type (including funds not managed by PFM).
The Park District’s invested funds as of September 30, 2019 are in compliance with the Board approved 2019 Investment Policy. The Park District’s cash management program provides sufficient liquidity to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months.
ALTERNATIVES None are recommended.

PFM Asset Management LLC 10 For the Quarter Ended September 30, 2019 EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT Outlook
Investment Strategy Outlook
Our strategy as we enter the final quarter of 2019 is to maintain a well-diversified portfolio as we seek to balance portfolio earnings potential with profit-taking in sectors that appear overly expensive. Issue selection has become increasingly important, regardless of sector, as market cross-currents have created both risks and opportunities. Our outlook for the major investment-grade fixed income sectors is as follows: • Federal agency yield spreads remain very tight. In some cases, agencies offer yields less than those on Treasuries of similar maturity. We continue to favor reductions in agency holdings because their upside is limited. • Supranational yield spreads remain at multi-year lows, and we plan to further reduce allocations. • In the investment-grade (IG) corporate sector, we remain cautiously optimistic. Stable fundamentals, positive earnings growth, and a resilient equity market support the underlying stability of the credit markets; however, in addition to the myriad of geopolitical issues that have yet to be resolved, increased balance sheet leverage translates into somewhat elevated
77 financial risks, especially in light of the narrow spreads currently available. As a result, we plan to reduce “rich” corporate holdings while creating room for new corporate opportunities as they become available. • ABS spreads are near multi-year lows, but underlying fundamentals remain firm. We plan to maintain ABS positions near current levels while seeking to opportunistically reduce allocations to structures inside of one year. • Increasing new home supply and accelerating prepayments are expected to weigh on the MBS sector over the near term. While spreads snapped back modestly near quarter-end, relative value in the sector is now attractive. Our preference is for structures that are less sensitive to interest rate movements—in particular, commercial MBS (CMBS) and well-seasoned mortgage pools that have less prepayment variability. • On the heels of two Fed rate cuts in the third quarter, money market investors may see further rate adjustments in the coming months. Short-term credit spreads have widened recently, creating investment opportunities that offset some of the Fed’s lower overnight target rate.

C. BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD
2. GENERAL MANAGER DIVISION
PUBLIC HEARING
a. Adoption of the 2020 Operating, Project and Program Budgets for the East Bay Regional Park District and Approval of the 2020 Appropriations Limit (Auker/Alvarez/Doyle)
RECOMMENDATION
The General Manager, the Board Finance Committee (by unanimous vote) and the Park Advisory Committee recommend that the Board of Directors approve and adopt the 2020 Proposed Operating, Project and Program Budgets for the East Bay Regional Park District and, by separate resolution, the Board is requested to approve the 2020 Appropriations Limit.
Prior to approving the budget, Park District policy requires that two public hearings be held to receive any comments from interested parties. The first public hearing was held December 3rd, 2019. Please see the detailed staff report for the December 3rd meeting and the Proposed Budget on the Park District website at www.ebparks.org. The December 17th Board Meeting provides the second public hearing.
REVENUE/COST
This action will authorize appropriations of $243,700,533 to fund operating, project and program expenditures for the 2020 fiscal year and the 2020 Salary Schedules for all Park District positions. A summary of the appropriations is provided in the attached 2020 Budget at-a-Glance. The action will also authorize the carryover of 2019 encumbered funds into the 2020 fiscal year to complete projects and services previously authorized by the Board of Directors. The amount of the carryover encumbrances will not be known until the end of the 2019 fiscal year. In prior years, the amount of carryover encumbrances has averaged less than $2 million.
BACKGROUND
State law and Board Operating Guidelines call for the Park District to adopt an annual budget. The Park District’s budget process is a vital tool for establishing public policy, receiving public input, maintaining control over the management of resources, and implementing fiscal plans and
116 initiatives. Formal budget planning begins in February with the first of five Board workshops that address Park District priorities including capital, land acquisition and trail projects. The process continues with a review of the proposed budget during Finance Committee meetings and budget hearings beginning in November and ending with approval of the budget at the final meeting in December.
In addition to approving the budget, the California State Constitution requires that all local agencies annually adopt the Article XIII B Appropriations (Gann) Limit, which is included on page 274 of the proposed budget document and has been available for public review since November.
The Park Advisory Committee reviewed and recommended the adoption of the 2020 Proposed Operating, Project, and Program Budget at its November 25, 2019 meeting.
The Board Finance Committee discussed and unanimously recommended the approval of the 2020 Gann Limit and the 2020 Proposed Operating, Project and Program Budget at its November 25th meeting.
The first public hearing for the aforementioned 2020 budget was held at the December 3, 2019 Board meeting. Comments and corrections received during the budget process are summarized below and the final language will be drafted and incorporated into the final 2020 Adopted Operating Budget - Volume 1 and 2020 Adopted Project and Program Budget - Volume 2, as authorized by the Board’s adoption of the Budget at this meeting.
In addition to the two addendums to the proposed budget, the following items will be adjusted for the 2020 Adopted Operating, Program and Project Budget:
Volume 1: • Revise Park District map, to include acquisitions through year end 2019, • Update five-year forecast of revenues and expenditures table in the Budget Overview Section B, • Complete all Section B narratives and schedules that were awaiting final budget amounts or information, • Clarify and, or expand Performance Measures and Division narratives as directed, • Reduce FTE count by .934 FTE to reflect request by Acquisition, Stewardship & Development. The total FTE count for the Park District will be 874.184, and this will be reflected on pages throughout the Adopted Budget. • Fund 553 budget will be updated to reflect the base budget increase for paving services of $1 million. This will be reflected on pages throughout the Adopted Budget. • Gann Limit appropriation of $154,451,836 and will be updated on page 273 of the Adopted Budget.
Volume 2: • Update project budgets to reflect changes through December 31, 2019, • Update project data and expenditure actuals through December 31, 2019, • Add or change photographs and location maps to selected projects in Volume 2,
117 • Amend the five-year expenditure plans for all projects to reflect changes through the end of 2019.
Volumes 1 and/or 2: • Add or modify any items noted in the December 17th public hearing or budget discussion.
ALTERNATIVE
No alternatives are recommended.

2. GENERAL MANAGER
b. Declaration of Northern 7± Acres of Real Property Located at 3020 Fostoria Way, Danville, California as Exempt Surplus Land (Real Property of the Estate of Armand Borel) (Victor/Doyle)
RECOMMENDATION
The General Manager and District Counsel recommend that the Board of Directors declare that the northerly 7± acre portion of real property located at 3020 Fostoria Way, Danville, California 94526 (APN 218-090-031) also known as the Borel property is exempt surplus land. This action is necessary to address recent changes in state law.
REVENUE/COST
There are no costs associated with this action.
BACKGROUND
Armand Borel was the owner of an approximately 17± acre walnut orchard located in Danville, California. He passed away in April 2009. His Trust included a bequest to the East Bay Regional Park District of his property subject to the operation of an “agriculture park” and cash payments to other superior beneficiaries. Due to malfeasance by the first Trustee and lengthy litigation proceedings, the Park District was required to take certain extraordinary actions to prevent the insolvency of the Trust. The Park District ultimately accepted the bequest with the understanding that a sale of a portion of the property would be required to fund the development and operation of a future agricultural park and pay off the considerable debts of the Trust.
At the July 16, 2019 meeting, the Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 2019-07-188 which authorized the issuance of a Request for Proposals for the purchase of the northern 7± acres of the Borel property (Northern Borel Property). As part of this action, the Board made findings that the sale of the property was necessary to provide the funds to carry out the wishes of Armand Borel to create an agricultural park on the remaining 10± acres of property and to pay off the approximately $6.9 million of debt against the Trust.
124 The Request for Proposals generated several offers to purchase the Northern Borel Property. Park District staff is continuing to evaluate the proposals received and to work with potential purchasers of the Northern Borel Property.
Since adoption of Resolution No. 2019-07-188, certain amendments have been made to the Surplus Land Act (California Government Code sections 54220-54234 by Assembly Bill No. 1486, which amendments will become effective January 1, 2020 (“Surplus Land Act, as revised”)). Based on these amendments, District Counsel is recommending that the Board of Directors adopt the attached Resolution which reiterate the Board’s previous findings that a sale of the property is necessary to generate the revenue needed for purposes of developing and operating an agricultural park on the southern portion of the Borel Property. This Resolution also clarifies that the northern Borel Property is “exempt surplus land” for purposes of California Government Code Section 54221 of the Surplus Land Act, as revised, and is not necessary for the Park District’s retention and use.
ALTERNATIVES
No alternatives are recommended. The Park District does not have adequate funds available to pay off the debts of the Borel Trust, clean-up the property, and develop and operate a future public park without a sale of the Northern Borel Property.

December 17, 2019
DECLARATION OF NORTHERN 7+ ACRES OF REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3020 FOSTORIA WAY, DANVILLE, CALIFORNIA AS EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND (REAL PROPERTY OF THE ESTATE OF ARMAND BOREL)
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 2019 – 07 – 188, dated July 16, 2019 (“Resolution Authorizing RFP”), the East Bay Regional Park District (the “Park District” or “District”), acting through its Board of Directors (Board), authorized the issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the purchase of the northerly 7+ acres of the Borel property located at 3020 Fostoria Way (“Northern Borel Property”) based on the following findings:
THAT the Park District is the primary beneficiary of the assets in the Estate of Armand Borel, as set forth in the Armand Borel Trust Dated June 20, 1994, as Amended and Restated in 2008 (the “Borel Trust”), which assets include, but are not limited to, an approximately 17-acre parcel of land adjacent to Fostoria Way and Camino Ramon in the Town of Danville, California; and
THAT in the Borel Trust, the principal non-cash bequest is the distribution of land and assets to the Park District for charitable and public purposes which is consistent with the Park District’s mission and vision as the Regional Park District for the citizens of Contra Costa and Alameda counties; and
THAT upon Mr. Borel’s death on April 19, 2009, the Borel Trust became subject to the jurisdiction of Contra Costa County Superior Court (Case No. P09-01129); and
THAT in the 10 years since Mr. Borel’s death the administration of the Borel Trust has been subject to numerous legal proceedings and issues, mismanagement by the original successor trustee, and impending default on outstanding loan obligations due to lack of funds in the Borel Trust; and
THAT the major legal issues have been resolved, but there remain significant debts against the Borel Trust; and
THAT to prevent the insolvency of the Borel Trust, the Board previously authorized three separate loans totaling $1.5 million, with interest accruing; and
THAT by Resolution No. 2013-10-243, the Board authorized the purchase of the Promissory Note and Deed of Trust held by Curtis L. Heinz, Trustee of the Curtis L. Heinz Revocable Trust U/A Dated 1/23/02, as Amended and Restated in its Entirety U/D Dated 7/27/05, at a total cost of approximately $1.55 million and secured by the real property; and
126 THAT in addition to the above-referenced loans, there are other substantial debts approved by the probate court which remain unpaid, including attorneys’ fees awarded to the Park District and other claimants, and trustees’ fees and accruing interests; and
THAT the outstanding loans and approved claims against the Borel Trust will require a full accounting but total approximately $6.9 million and continue to accrue interest; and
THAT in order to create an agricultural park, the Borel property will require a substantial investment to rehabilitate the structures and make the property safe and inviting for public use; and
THAT there is no funding available to satisfy the debts of the Borel Trust and to develop and operate a public agricultural park; and
THAT by order dated March 21, 2019, the probate court determined that a sale of 7± acres of the Borel property was consistent with the intent of the Trust and authorized the Park District to sell such property on such terms and conditions acceptable to the Park District, but in an amount sufficient to pay all creditors of the Trust in full; and
THAT a sale of the northern 7± acres will leave the homestead and orchard on the southern 10 acres available for development of a small agricultural park consistent with the wishes of Mr. Borel; and
WHEREAS, the RFP has been issued and the Park District is continuing to evaluate proposals and to work with potential purchasers of the Northern Borel Property; and
WHEREAS, after the adoption of the Resolution Authorizing RFP by the Board, certain amendments have been made to the Surplus Land Act (California Government Code Sections 54220 - 54234) by Assembly Bill No. 1486, which amendments will become effective January 1, 2020 (“Surplus Land Act, as revised”); and
WHEREAS, the Northern Borel Property is not necessary for the creation and operation of the agricultural park contemplated for the southern portion of the Borel property, or for other Park District purposes or use; and
WHEREAS, a sale of the Northern Borel Property by the Park District is authorized under California Public Resources Code Section 5563;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of the East Bay Regional Park District declares that the sale of the Northern Borel Property will directly further the express purpose of the Park District’s work and operations by generating revenue for the purpose of developing and operating an agricultural park on the southern portion of the Borel property; and
127 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, based on the findings and resolutions set forth above and in the Resolution Authorizing RFP, the Board declares that the Northern Borel Property is “exempt surplus land” for purposes of California Government Code Section 54221 of the Surplus Land Act, as revised, and is not necessary for the Park District’s retention and use; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the General Manager is hereby authorized and directed, on behalf of the Park District and in its name, to execute and deliver such documents and to do such acts as may be deemed necessary or appropriate to accomplish the intention of this resolution.

D. BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD
3. ACQUISITION, STEWARDSHIP & DEVELOPMENT DIVISION
a. Authorization to Enter into a Mitigation Funding Agreement with California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) for Long-Term Management of Habitat Mitigation Lands Related to the District’s Wildfire Fuels Management Program and Other District Projects (Kelchner/Auker)
RECOMMENDATION
The General Manager recommends that the Board of Directors authorize staff to enter into a Mitigation Funding Agreement with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to provide permanent funding reserves for the District’s long-term management of habitat mitigation lands as required by regulatory permits for District projects, including the District’s Wildfire Hazard Reduction and Resource Management Plan (Fuels Project).
REVENUE/COST
There are no direct costs associated with entering into the Agreement. However, the Agreement provides that the Park District may establish a permanent reserve fund (Reserve Fund) for the long-term management of Park District habitat mitigation lands, in lieu of the more costly endowment that CDFW typically requires. Staff will return to the Board in 2020 to establish the Reserve Fund and to set aside the required funding for the Fuels Project. It is estimated that the Fuels Project will require approximately $100,000 to be appropriated into the Reserve Fund. Future Park District projects requiring long-term management of habitat mitigation lands would require additional deposits into the Reserve Fund, up to a maximum of $500,000.
BACKGROUND
The California Endangered Species Act (CESA) requires the Park District to obtain “incidental take permits” from CDFW for the District’s own projects that could result in incidental harm to or “take” of endangered species. One such Park District project is the Fuels Project, the goal of which is to reduce fuel loads to decrease fire hazards that could result in loss or damage to property and life. Because project activities could result in the incidental take of certain species, including the protected Alameda Whipsnake, the District sought and obtained a permit from CDFW. (Incidental Take Permit No. 2081-2011-046-03).
132 Incidental take permits commonly require a permanent set-aside of habitat conservation lands as compensation for impacts to species and their habitat. State law requires permit holders to provide adequate funding to ensure long-term management of such lands for the benefit of species. To meet these funding requirements, CDFW typically requires permitholders to fund an endowment, within the meaning of Government Code section 65965(a), that generates enough interest to cover annual management costs. These endowments are often referred to as “non- wasting,” meaning that the principal amount of the endowment cannot be drawn upon but must be permanently maintained, and only the interest generated by the endowment may be accessed.
If the Park District, as a permitholder, were required to fund a traditional endowment for each of its permitted projects, including the Fuels Project, over the next few years the District would need to set aside several million dollars to generate the interest necessary to cover the annual management costs. Permanently setting aside such a large amount of local tax dollars would significantly reduce the funds available to invest in stewardship staff and appropriate management of habitat-sensitive public lands.
To address this issue, the Park District and CDFW formed a working group to explore options for an alternative funding approach that reflects the District’s conservation mission and avoids unnecessarily tying up public dollars while ensuring full protection of habitat conservation lands. Following negotiations, CDFW and the District have agreed that for the District’s own projects, including the Fuels Project, long-term funding requirements can be met through use of a Reserve Fund in lieu of traditional endowments. This agreement is based on CDFW’s recognition of the District’s core mission of stewardship and resource protection.
The proposal for this alternative funding arrangement was presented to the Board Finance Committee on November 20, 2017, and April 25, 2018. The parties have now reached consensus on the final language of the Agreement. The Agreement includes the following terms:
1. The Park District will establish a Reserve Fund to cover five years of management costs for each project to be covered by the Agreement.
2. The amount of the Reserve Fund will not exceed $500,000 unless CDFW and the District meet and agree that additional funds would be appropriate and necessary.
3. The Reserve Fund would be held in trust by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, or a similar non-profit or public entity authorized by CDFW to hold mitigation endowment funds.
4. The Reserve Fund will not be used for land management but will be a permanent fund that CDFW can call on for enforcement of the District’s permit obligations.
5. CDFW can call on the Reserve Fund only following an extensive dispute resolution process, including full opportunity for the District to cure any alleged violation.
133 The alternative funding mechanism allowed by the Agreement is expected to save significant taxpayer dollars, allowing the Park District to use those funds for the management and protection of park lands instead of being tied up in a traditional endowment. For example, the District’s incidental take permit for the Fuels Project requires the District to set aside and protect approximately 600 acres of District-owned land. The annual cost to manage this land is anticipated to be approximately $20,000, for tasks including maintaining and repairing fencing, ponds, and water supply for grazing, as well as species monitoring and reporting. To meet the Fuels Project permit requirements under a traditional endowment, the District would need to deposit between $500,000 - $700,000 to generate enough interest to cover the $20,000 annual management cost. By contrast, under the proposed Mitigation Funding Agreement, the District would be required to deposit only $100,000 into the Reserve Fund (equal to five years of annual management costs). As the District secures additional permits for other projects that require compensatory mitigation lands, the combined annual costs for managing those mitigation lands will continue to increase, potentially requiring several million dollars for traditional endowments, instead of the maximum $500,000 required by this Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board provide authorization to enter into a Mitigation Funding Agreement with CDFW to provide a lower cost alternative to traditional endowments for the District to meet its permit obligations for long-term management of habitat mitigation lands.
ALTERNATIVES
No alternatives are recommended.

San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission – San Francisco Bay Plan Amendment
On November 21, 2019, the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission unanimously voted to issue a brief descriptive notice to initiate the San Francisco Bay Plan Amendment. The amendment would remove the 172-acre water-related industry priority use area designation at Pacheco Creek in Martinez. The area was designated as a water-related industry in 1969 because the site had characteristics similar to nearby sites owned and operated by oil refineries. This amendment would allow the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to construct the 355-acre Lower Walnut Creek Restoration Project, which would restore tidal action to the existing diked marsh; improve habitat quality, diversity, and connectivity along the creeks and along the southern Suisun Bay shoreline; and provide public access and recreational opportunities. The amended area is located west of Pacheco Creek and the Point Edith Wildlife Area. In the 2013 Master Plan, the East Bay Regional Park District (Park District) identified the potential Martinez Shoreline to Point Edith segment of the San Francisco Bay Trail through this area.

Alumnus Doug Bell protects East Bay wildlife through conservation research
Doug Bell graduated with a PhD in Zoology from the newly formed IB department in 1992, but he still actively collaborates with UC Berkeley in his current role as the wildlife program manager at the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD). In the past couple of years, Bell has been instrumental in helping peregrine falcons successfully nest on the Campanile on campus, and says he is “still very much intimately involved” with IB’s Museum of Vertebrate Zoology (MVZ). He regularly brings specimens to the MVZ, uses it as a repository for genetic samples, and has been involved with courses in IB and the Cal Teach program on campus.
Bell’s PhD advisor was Ned K. Johnson (1932-2003), an IB professor and curator of ornithology at the MVZ. Bell developed a love of birds at an early age and wanted to be an ornithologist 146 since he was 10 or 11. A major reason he did his PhD at Berkeley Doug Bell (Photo credit Joe DiDonato ) was that he wanted to get “very fundamental training in systematics and evolution and taxonomy. The MVZ is just one of the absolute leaders in the eld, in both research and education.” For his PhD thesis, Bell studied two species of seagulls that have overlapping ranges on the west coast of the US, and how they intermix through hybridization. He also studied how changing weather conditions such as El Niño a ect the distribution of these gull populations.
Bell says his time in the MVZ had a profound impact on him, in part because it was home to some of the top animal biologists in the country, and scientists from all over the world came to share their work. Also, having grown up in California, he says that having “all these scientists who were so dedicated to the science of California just really made an impression on me.” He was also inspired by the history and mission of the MVZ, noting how its extensive records about California habitats dating back to the 1920s are currently being used to assess the impacts of climate change. “So much of the MVZ is [about] collecting, preserving, cataloging, and maintaining records,” Bell says. “That is just so vital for how we can assess the present, and then moving forward into the future and assessing those changes.”
After his PhD, Bell did a postdoctoral fellowship at the California Academy of Sciences, where he studied song evolution in white-crowned sparrows. “It really speaks to keeping your options open,” he says. “No matter what you wind up specializing in, there [are] always opportunities out there that might lead into another eld of expertise, and it just opens up incredible doors.”
Bell eventually went on to a tenure-track faculty position at Cal State Sacramento, but left in 2005 to work in his current position at the EBRPD. Although he says he loved academia, he was based in the Bay Area and saw the move as an opportunity to do wildlife research closer to home. He continued to be an adjunct professor at Cal State Sacramento for several years, and still maintains a research associate position at the California Academy of Sciences.
“It’s kind of the best of all worlds to do practical eld work, deal with the public, and at the same time be able to also accomplish some really nice research,” Bell says. His research is focused on monitoring wildlife in the park district, particularly threatened and endangered species. He also gives recommendations to the district on how to balance wildlife conservation and habitat restoration with recreational use. For example, he might advise closing trails in areas where protected golden eagles are nesting.
147 Bell also collaborates with other agencies to develop regional approaches to wildlife management, and gives permits and grants to outside scientists, including some from UC Berkeley, to do research in the parks. “It's all going towards a common purpose of making sure that we still have wildlife, and sustain wildlife populations way into the future,” he says. “My goal is to still have golden eagles around a hundred years from now and 500 years from now.”
In 2017, Bell heard about a pair of peregrine falcons attempting to nest on the Campanile. Having done research there as a graduate student, he knew that the cement balcony was not a good place to establish a nest. He got permission to install a gravel- lled nest shelf, which the falcons successfully adopted. They have continued to nest there, and earlier this year, Bell helped install Bell on the Campanile replacing the makeshift sandbag nest site with a shelf lled with gravel,two live webcams so the public can observe the peregrines and closer to a nest site that a peregrine would use their chicks. in the wild.

Bell has also served in leadership positions at several wildlife societies, including as the former president of the Western Section of the Wildlife Society, which spans a broad region that includes California, Nevada, Hawaii, and Guam. When asked why he is involved in so many projects, Bell said: “Harkening back to the MVZ and UC Berkeley, the graduate students back then were all just so dedicated … When a person nds this kind of calling in life, it really transcends whatever nine to ve job you have.”
Bell recently attended a lunch at the MVZ and says it reminded him of the lyrics of the Eagles song, Hotel California: “you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.” He says, “Once you've gone through a program like that, it's just in your blood and it will always be in your blood.”

FROM THE DESK OF Concord mayor reflects on year’s accomplishments By Carlyn Obringer
It was with great pride that I accepted the gavel and the title of mayor of Concord on Dec. 4, and what an amazing year it has been.
I had the opportunity to represent Concord at several significant ceremonies, including the celebration of the land transfer from the Navy to the East Bay Regional Park District for the purpose of establishing a new regional park here and the memorial of the 75th anniversary of the Port Chicago explosion that illuminated the harmful consequences of segregation to the nation. It was gratifying to see nearly 8,000 people gathered at the Concord Pavilion to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Concord Jazz Festival in August. In late October, I had the once-in-a-lifetime privilege of leading a 39-person delegation to visit our sister city, Kitakami, Japan.
As mayor, I worked hard to help recruit and retain living-wage jobs so people can both live and work in our city. This involved multiple “goodwill” visits with top employers headquartered here, including AssetMark, Cerus Corp., Harris & Associates, Pulse Systems and Sunvalley Shopping Center. I participated in the Diablo Valley Tech Initiative, a new group fostering economic and social growth for start-ups, entrepreneurs, leaders, educators and students here in the Diablo Valley.
Every day, I seem to read about another major Bay Area employer relocating, or moving jobs, out of state, often without considering affordable options closer to
158 home that have a highly skilled workforce – places like Concord. To counteract this phenomenon, I convened a meeting with the Bay Area Council to discuss opportunities to highlight Concord throughout the region. It is my hope that via such efforts, we will be able to enhance Concordians’ quality of life through increased local, living-wage jobs, the creation of new investment opportunities, and reduced traffic, commute times and carbon emissions.
I also introduced several initiatives. The first was related to the redevelopment of the former Concord Naval Weapons Station (CNWS). When I announced my City Council candidacy in 2015, one of my goals was establishing a four-year public university at the site. Since my election, we have made progress by establishing a 120-acre campus district within the draft CNW Specific Plan and a 16-member Blue Ribbon Committee (BRC).
After meeting for nine months, the BRC, which I chaired, produced a final report in May that envisioned a consortium concept – one that brings multiple academic institutions together, accommodating and embracing research and development. I look forward to continuing to spearhead this campus visioning at the city level, with support from our existing education and industry partners and state representatives.
Another of my goals focused on building a greater sense of community. I want Concordians to feel connected to their neighbors and proud to live in our city. To that end, I instituted a “September of Service,” with more than 200 volunteers participating. On each of the four Saturdays in September, residents were invited to join me in a beautification or cleanup event at a Concord park. Projects included building a butterfly garden and cleaning up the creek at Newhall Park, park and lake cleanup at Ellis Lake Park, cleaning up the park and creek at Hillcrest Park, and general cleanup and wood chip distribution at Ygnacio Valley Park.
I believe it is critical for the mayor to be available to hear and try to address residents’ city-related issues and concerns. To that end, I held office hours most Friday mornings. Once a month, I held “Coffee with the Mayor” or “Beer with the Mayor” at a different Concord establishment, to highlight a local business and enable Concordians to meet with their mayor in a less formal setting. It was fun and productive to engage on a variety of issues and connect with more than 400 residents.
Thank you to my City Council colleagues for the confidence they exhibited in me by unanimously electing me as mayor for 2019. And, thank you to the people of Concord who elected me to the City Council in 2016.
159 I look forward to working with the rest of the City Council to help make Concord an even better community in which to live, work, raise a family, operate a business, visit and retire.

160 Goal reached: Almond Ranch is saved admin | December 8, 2019 $4 Million is raised by John Muir Land Trust for purchase of 281 acres in Martinez, CA
John Muir Land Trust (JMLT, jmlt.org) announces that it has raised the $4 million needed to acquire Almond Ranch and permanently preserve these 281 acres as public open space. Donations large and small from individuals across the region made the final difference, allowing the land trust to reach this fundraising goal weeks ahead of the December 31, 2019 deadline. A pristine property along the Franklin Ridge south of downtown Martinez, Almond Ranch has been a top priority of conservationists for decades for protecting wildlife habitat and providing passive recreation.
Funds came from three main sources. The Campaign To Save Almond Ranch was launched with a commitment of $1 million from the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD, ebparks.org) using funds made available by voters’ approval of Measure WW in 2008 for high priority community park projects. In August, JMLT received $2 million from the California Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB, wcb.ca.gov). Donations from thousands of individuals provided the final $1 million: the residents of the nearby neighborhood of Stonehurst contributed $250,000, readers of the popular wildlife newspaper column written by Joan Morris sent a flood of donations and letters, and a generous anonymous donor made a $100,000 challenge match gift that closed the gap.
“State agencies and large funders consider the depth of community support when they decide how to allocate scarce funds to conservation projects,” said Linus Eukel, Executive Director of JMLT. “Residents of the East Bay delivered spectacularly.”
“The mission of the California Wildlife Conservation Board is to protect California’s spectacular natural resources for wildlife and for the public’s use and enjoyment. We work in partnership with conservation organizations and agencies to allocate funds for high priority acquisition projects,” said John Donnelly, Executive Director of WCB. “Almond Ranch exemplifies the very special places we choose to protect, and John Muir Land Trust is precisely the sort of trusted partner we select.”
“Few places have been discussed over the years as being so necessary for conservation,” said Robert Doyle, General Manager of EBRPD.
Almond Ranch exemplifies the many reasons why land conservation is essential in the coming decades—when the entire Bay Area will see unprecedented population growth and accelerating
161 pressure to develop our remaining natural lands. Saving Almond Ranch from development preserves a significant habitat corridor for wildlife, including several federally-listed species; protects three tributaries to the Alhambra Creek watershed; expands the Bay Area Ridge Trail Corridor and connects other major trails for the very first time; links large conserved landscapes; and opens the property’s beautiful rolling hills along the Franklin Ridge to hikers, dog walkers, cyclists, bird watchers, equestrians, and nature lovers of all ages.
“Protecting Almond Ranch is a win for everyone in California,” added Eukel.

162 Martinez group’s $4 million fundraiser succeeds; money will preserve open space known as Almond Ranch $1 million came from individual donors By Nate Gartrell | [email protected] | Bay Area News Group PUBLISHED: December 4, 2019 at 4:32 pm | UPDATED: December 5, 2019 at 2:20 pm
Adam Weidenbach/John Muir Land Trust A group known as the John Muir Land Trust has announced an effort to raise $4 million to save Almond Ranch, above, a large open space property in the Martinez hills, from development. The lush, 281-acre open space alongside Franklin Canyon Road and next to Mount Wanda is being used as a cattle ranch, and the Muir Land Trust reportedly wants to eventually open it for “hikers, dog walkers, cyclists, bird watchers, equestrians and nature lovers of all ages.”
MARTINEZ — A $4 million fundraising effort to preserve 281 acres of open space near Mount Wanda has been a success.
On Wednesday, the John Muir Land Trust announced that it has raised enough money to permanently preserve the large area of open space known as Almond Ranch. The announcement comes four weeks before the group’s Dec. 31 deadline for the fundraising effort that began last year.
The group calls the property along the Franklin Ridge south of downtown Martinez the “missing piece” because it is surrounded by open-space properties that are open to the public and would connect to sections of trails throughout Contra Costa County. The purchase also preserves a significant habitat corridor for wildlife, according to the trust.
The John Muir Land Trust — which stewards hiking trails and other open space areas around the East Bay — credited three main sources for the funds: $2 million came from the California Wildlife Conservation Board, and the East Bay Regional Parks District gave $1 million from funds raised by Measure WW, a bond measure. The final $1 million came from “thousands of individual donations,” including a $100,000 donation by an anonymous person, according to the trust.
“The mission of the California Wildlife Conservation Board is to protect California’s spectacular natural resources for wildlife and for the public’s use and enjoyment. We work in partnership with conservation organizations and agencies to allocate funds for high priority acquisition projects,” John Donnelly, executive director of the conservation board, said in a statement. “Almond Ranch exemplifies the very special places we choose to protect, and John Muir Land Trust is precisely the sort of trusted partner we select.”
The news release says readers of Bay Area News Group wildlife and pet columnist Joan Morris sent a “flood” of donations, and that residents of the nearby Stonehurst Drive neighborhood collectively gave $250,000.
“State agencies and large funders consider the depth of community support when they decide how to allocate scarce funds to conservation projects,” John Muir Land Trust Executive Director Linus Eukel said in a statement. “Residents of the East Bay delivered spectacularly. … Protecting Almond Ranch is a win for everyone in California.”

East Bay Redwood Regional Park gets a new name By Annie Sciacca | [email protected] | Bay Area News Group PUBLISHED: December 4, 2019 at 6:00 am | UPDATED: December 4, 2019 at 3:09 pm Redwood Regional Park is being renamed after Aurelia Reinhardt (middle), an Oakland educator and activist who was one of the five original members — and the only woman at the time — elected to the board of the East Bay Regional Park District. (Courtesy of East Bay Regional Park District)
OAKLAND — Redwood Regional Park already gets plenty of attention from hikers, joggers, dog- walkers and others among the more than 1 million people who visit it each year, and now it may also draw attention to its history.
The park will be renamed Dr. Aurelia Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park, after one of the five original members of the East Bay Regional Park District board and its first female member. The district board approved the name change last month at the suggestion of board director Dee Rosario.
According to the park district, Reinhardt helped negotiate the first land purchases that turned into what are now Tilden, Temescal and Sibley parks, and helped obtain the property that would become Redwood Regional Park.
A redwood grove in the park is already named after her — Aurelia Reinhardt Redwoods — but now the whole park will have her name.
The newly named Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park is among the East Bay Regional Park District’s busiest, with 1.4 million visitors each year.
“Aurelia had a long history of public service and advocacy for human and environmental rights,” Rosario said in a written statement from the park district. “She was an amazing woman whose legacy is still alive today in the Park District’s 73 Regional Parks and 125,000 acres of preserved open space.”
Reinhardt was born in San Francisco in 1877, graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1898 and became just one of few women at the time to go to graduate school at Yale University, according to biography notes in the Online Archive of California, citing papers in the F.W. Olin Library at Mills College.
Reinhardt was an English lecturer at the University of California Extension Division before becoming president from 1916 to 1943 of Oakland’s Mills College, which she expanded by enlisting benefactors and faculty. She also was involved with a variety of educational boards and groups, including the American Association of University
164 Women, as well as peace organizations, and she was active in politics both locally and nationally.
According to the library’s biographical notes, Reinhardt also was passionate about the work of the Indian Defense Association of California and the Save the Redwoods League.
Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park is one of the most popular parks in the district, receiving 1.4 million visitors every year, according to the district.
The district’s general manager, Robert Doyle, noted in a news release that the renaming of the park after Reinhardt comes as the 100th anniversary of the women’s suffrage movement will dawn in 2020.
“It is fitting for our nationally-recognized park district to highlight Aurelia Reinhardt, a remarkable environmentally and socially conscious woman from Oakland,” Doyle said.
165 December 2019/January 2020 LET THERE BE LIGHT: CREEKS GAIN VISIBILITY THROUGH RESTORATION by Robin Meadows Experts consider the daylighting of Strawberry Creek in Berkeley to be a pioneering example of such projects. Photo by Alec MacDonald.
Stroll through just about any of the cities ringing the San Francisco Bay and you’re likely walking on water. Not literally, of course. Rather, chances are that somewhere along your way, there’s a stream running beneath your feet. As land around the Bay was developed, creeks were rerouted underground through pipes called culverts for flood protection. But in some spots, these hidden waterways can be brought back up to the surface to provide habitat for wildlife and respite for people.
The Bay Area is a national leader in this type of restoration, which is aptly called daylighting. And now we’re undertaking our most ambitious such project yet. The East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) is about to daylight more than half a mile of Alder Creek in Robert Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, near Pinehurst Road in the Oakland hills.
“The creek there is almost all underground; it looks like a meadow,” said Matt Graul, EBRPD’s chief of stewardship. “The site was used as a quarry and they culverted the stream so they didn’t have to deal with road flooding.” The new daylighting project is part of an effort to restore four acres of the preserve, which will also include reestablishing riparian plants along the daylighted stretch of creek as well as new trails and a group camp site.
When the park district acquired the property eight years ago, they wanted to open it up for hiking. But the land around the buried creek was unstable. “It hadn’t been engineered properly and the culverting began to fail,” Graul said. Water escaped, eroding sinkholes and gullies as deep as 25 feet. “It was dangerous — if you started stomping around, you might fall in.” This spurred the district to fast-track Alder Creek’s daylighting.
Rainbow trout stand to benefit hugely. These native fish live in San Leandro Creek, which Alder Creek flows into. But they can’t swim into Alder Creek due to the culverting, so they just collect in a large pool that forms just below the pipe. “The trout want to come up,” Graul explained. “The upper watershed is good spawning habitat.” Restoring Alder Creek will also help threatened and endangered species by, for example, providing habitat for California red-legged frogs as well as prey for Alameda whipsnakes and golden eagles.
The project will go out to bid early next year and the total cost, including planning and permitting, is estimated to be roughly $11.5 million. Graul expects the construction phase to be complete within two years. “It’s extremely exciting,” he said. “There’s just something about flowing water. I’ve loved being around streams and creeks since childhood.”
166 Daylighting creeks is widely embraced these days. But the concept was quite controversial when initially proposed in 1982 for Berkeley’s Strawberry Creek, one of the earliest known daylighting projects in the country. “It was seen as a wacko, dangerous, fringe idea,” recalled Ann Riley, cofounder of the Urban Creeks Council, a Berkeley- based nonprofit dedicated to stewardship of Bay Area streams. “There were worries about endangering children.” City officials also feared that bringing the creek above ground again would cause trash buildup and flooding.
Strawberry Creek runs freely through much of the UC Berkeley campus and then disappears underground, generally paralleling University Avenue until reaching the Bay. The city’s concerns notwithstanding, community activists prevailed and the stream now resurfaces in Strawberry Creek Park, where a 200-foot section was daylighted in 1984.
“The Strawberry Creek project is widely considered the archetype of daylighting,” according to a year 2000 Rocky Mountain Institute report called Daylighting: New Life for Buried Streams. “It inspired many other projects.” While buried creeks have been re- exposed here and there around the country, the practice really took off in the Bay Area.
Riley rapidly ticked off a dozen or so local projects, including a recent one at Cerrito Creek that illustrates the turnaround in institutional perceptions of daylighting. Instead of voicing objections, as the City of Berkeley did in the early 1980s, the City of El Cerrito actually required re-exposing a 180-foot stretch of the creek as a condition for developing an apartment complex adjacent to the El Cerrito Plaza shopping center. “There’s been a huge political attitude change,” said Riley, who chronicles this evolution in her 2016 book Restoring Neighborhood Streams. “It really is remarkable.”
To raise awareness of the Bay Area’s many creeks, in the early 1990s the Oakland Museum of California began mapping Bay Area creeks both above and below ground. “They wanted maps that people could carry around to find their creeks,” said Janet Sowers, a geologist at Fugro Consultants, a Walnut Creek-based environmental engineering firm, who has worked on the project since the very beginning.
The first map covered Oakland and Berkeley, tracing the meandering paths of historical creeks as well as their highly-altered modern routes. “Creeks still flow from the hills to the Bay, so it’s still a watershed,” Sowers said. “But in general, there is more underground stormdrain network than original creek network.”
Free-flowing creeks are depicted in blue while culverted waterways are in gold. The City of Berkeley, for example, has a scattering of blue squiggles but is dominated by straight gold lines that show where water is shunted underneath the city and down to the Bay. “The map was so popular we kept going,” Sowers said. “We now have 17 maps around the Bay.” Creek maps are available from the Oakland Museum store, and there is also an online Google Earth version for Alameda County.
Major funding for the creek mapping project came from the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, and the Santa Clara Valley Water District. The motivation, Sowers explained, was to reduce water pollution. Knowing about the waterways around — and below — us could instill mindfulness of the connections between our actions and ecological health. For example, people contaminate streams with excess fertilizer and pesticides from gardens as well as oil and other toxic chemicals from streets. “If citizens are more informed and engaged, they are more likely to be good stewards of creeks,” Sowers said.

167 December 2019/January 2020 RIGHT-OF-PLAY: THE RAILS-TO-TRAILS JUNCTION
by Aleta George
The Dumbarton Rail Corridor (pictured here at the intersection of Willow Road in Menlo Park) is being considered for a possible segment of the planned 40-mile Bay to Sea Trail. Photo courtesy POST.
You have likely heard of the popular High Line park in the City of New York. Perhaps you have even visited this rails-to-trails park with its garden walks, world-class eateries, and art installations that was converted from an elevated freight line screaming above the streets of New York to a bustling public open space.
Here in the Bay Area, we have our own versions of rails-to-trails parks, some of which have been in use for years and others that are in the planning stages.
“Rails-to-trails projects are really fantastic because these often-abandoned sections of railroad land are narrow, long, and linear and lend themselves to potential open space,” said Amy Wooldridge, the recreation and parks director for the City of Alameda. “They also tend to be valuable because railroads were connection points that moved freight or people, so they create greenbelt areas that people can use to connect from one part of the city to another in a safe, protected, and fun way.”
The Jean Sweeney Open Space Park in Alameda is a case in point. The first phase of what will be a 25-acre park opened in December 2018. Phase one includes a playground in the eastern portion of the park and the Cross Alameda Trail, which will eventually span the entire island of Alameda from east to west.
The inception of this park traces back to Jean Sweeney, a teacher and community activist, who in 1998 envisioned an open space park to replace the abandoned Alameda Belt Line railyard and rail line between Sherman Street and Constitution Way. The landowner had plans to sell the land for $20 million to a developer for 200 homes, but Sweeney gathered signatures and enthusiasm to pass an initiative to rezone the land as open space.
While researching historic files, Sweeney found the original 1924 contract that granted the city the option to repurchase the land if the rail line was ever decommissioned, which it had been since 1939. She turned her findings over to the city, and after years of litigation, the city won on appeal and was able to purchase the land for just under $1 million.
168 Sweeney took an active role in turning the right-of-way into a park, but it took a village to make it happen. “This park wouldn’t have happened without community advocates. It most likely would have been housing at this point without her galvanizing the community,” said Wooldridge.
The Jean Sweeney Open Space Park is just one example of a rails-to-trails park in the Bay Area. Other examples include the Old Railroad Grade on the eastern side of Mount Tamalpais that follows the route of the Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Woods Scenic Railroad, the seven-mile-long Linear Park in Fairfield that lopes atop an old Northern Electric Company passenger rail right-of-way, and the granddaddy of them all, the Iron Horse Regional Trail that stretches from Concord to Pleasanton.
“The Iron Horse Trail is the spine through the inner valleys,” said Beverly Lane, an East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) board member who was active from the start with the Right-of-Way Trail Advocates, a citizen advocacy group from Alamo, Danville, and San Ramon. They envisioned a trail like the Lafayette-Moraga Regional Trail, the first rails-to-trails project of EBRPD, and one of the first rails-to-trails projects in California.
The history of the Iron Horse Regional Trail right-of-way reaches back to 1891 when the Southern Pacific Railroad Company built a line from San Ramon to the Suisun Bay west of Port Chicago to transport farm goods. The trains lost momentum as automobiles and trucks filled the roadways, and the last train ran in 1978. The railroad removed the tracks the following year.
“There was a mad scramble to not sell it off in pieces,” said EBRPD’s general manager Robert Doyle, who, as the district’s trail coordinator at the time, was exploring the new concept of a regional trail system to connect parks. EBRPD’s regional trail system is now one of the largest in the U.S.
“There certainly was an intent to look at putting light rail there, but a study concluded that it just wasn’t feasible with 35 street crossings,” said Doyle.
“Readers should know it wasn’t a finger-snap, ‘Let’s do this.’ It was done piecemeal,” he added. The first pieces were done in Walnut Creek. Then came sections in Danville, Concord, Pleasant Hill, and San Ramon, in that order. “Now we go all the way into Pleasanton,” Doyle said.
The trail, managed by EBRPD and used by 1.3 million people annually, isn’t just for recreation. To assess usage, EBRPD used a federal grant to install counters at intersections of the regional trail system (including Iron Horse), and the data showed that peak use of the trails aligned with peak use on highways.
“It’s a green transportation system that gets to parks and everywhere else,” Doyle said. “We calculated that there are 40 schools within one-half mile of the Iron Horse Trail. It connects to everything and that’s why it’s so popular.”
While all abandoned railroad right-of-way corridors may not be appropriate for reintroducing train service, there is one defunct right-of-way in the Bay Area that is being considered for both a new passenger rail line and a trail. Still in the visionary phase, the western leg of the Dumbarton Rail Corridor is seen as being a possible segment of the Bay to Sea Trail, a planned 40-mile multi-use trail that would connect the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. The project is picking up steam and eleven
169 partners and agencies are working together to find a route, said Rachael Faye at the Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST). “The trail will be the first and only east-to-west trail in the Peninsula that connects to the sea,” said Faye. “It will connect four regional trails and create regional connectivity.”
The rails-to-trails segment of the Bay to Sea Trail would run along the Dumbarton right- of-way from Ravenswood Open Space Preserve in East Palo Alto to Bair Island in Redwood City, while another segment would lead over to Half Moon Bay. The San Mateo County Transit District and the Cross Bay Transit Partners (a partnership of tech titan Facebook and infrastructure developer Plenary Group) are conducting a feasibility study for a public/private passenger rail line on the old Dumbarton line, which includes reconstructing its inactive rail bridge to connect the Peninsula with the East Bay.
“POST is not taking a position on rapid transit improvements being proposed by the Cross Bay Transit Partners, but we are taking a position to support active transit improvements for walking and biking,” said Faye. “A trail on the Dumbarton Rail Corridor would be positive and beneficial to our community. There’s room for a rail line and a trail.”
If you have walked the San Francisco Bay Trail or visited bayside open space parks in the Peninsula, you know you have to drive on highways, cross overpasses, and skirt industrial and urban infrastructure to get there. A trail on the Dumbarton Corridor would help connect the urban community with existing open spaces.
“The trail would pass through communities that have the most limited access to safe, active transportation that connects people to destinations. This trail would provide connectivity that is an enjoyable experience,” said Faye.
“Transportation costs are the second-biggest drain on household budgets, so creating affordable mobility options is critical for lower-income families,” said Laura Cohen, director of Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s western region. “Trails are part of the solution for those who don’t or can’t drive due to the high costs of car ownership, age, or disability.”
Most trails and parks take time and community advocacy to bring them to fruition, and sometimes, those who work on the projects don’t live to see the results. Jean Sweeney died seven years before the park named in her honor was opened, but during her lifetime she remained undeterred in putting in the necessary work and time for the future benefit of other residents. Clearly, she lived by the words of the old Greek proverb, “A society grows great when old men” — and, of course, women — “plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”
Aleta George loves trails and trains. She is the proud granddaughter of L.E. Brown, Sr., an engineer for the Southern Railway’s 1401, now the largest train on display in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of History.

172 Sunday getaway to Point Isabel Regional Shoreline Tom Stienstra Nov. 30, 2019 Updated: Dec. 1, 2019 7:23 a.m.
John Garrett and Romeo stroll along a bayside trail at Point Isabel Regional Shoreline in Richmond.Photo: Paul Chinn / The Chronicle
What you see: If there were a Doggy Hall of Fame, Point Isabel Regional Shoreline would be inducted. Recent upgrades make it great also for launching kayaks and sailboards, and it is a stellar destination for shoreline walks with a bay view. On days with high visibility, you can see across the bay to the San Francisco waterfront and Golden Gate Bridge, with a pretty silhouette of Mount Tamalpais against the Marin sky.
Why now: Phase I of the renovation of Point Isabel Shoreline is complete, including improved dog ramps to the bay, improved water access for wind surfing and kayaking, and work that made the shoreline pathway ADA-compliant.
The park/location: Point Isabel is the peninsula on San Francisco Bay located on the shore that juts out north of Albany, just west of El Cerrito. The park spans 23 acres and includes bay shoreline and Hoffman Channel, and is adjacent to the Hoffman Marsh.
Doggies: The park receives roughly 1 million visitors each year and many of those bring their dogs. You can buy a tennis ball at Mudpuppy’s. Ramps into the bay make it easy for dogs to run, swim, retrieve and return. You can then crown the day with a dog bath/shower at Mudpuppy’s.
Walks: You have two choices: Take the Channel Trail (where dogs are permitted off leash), which is routed along the shore of San Francisco Bay and Hoffman Channel, roughly a mile round trip. Or take the San Francisco Bay Trail (where dogs must be leashed), which is routed
173 inland a bit and roughly parallels the Channel Trail. If you continue east, the trail then extends along the Hoffman Marsh.
Note: The north island, accessed by a hiker’s bridge, is temporarily closed.
Windsurf/kayak: Volunteers helped create new and much improved access and launch points for windsurfing and kayaking. You get access to the shoreline and Richmond Inner Harbor to the north, and the deep cove of Albany Mudflats State Marine Park to the south; high tides only.
Cost/facilities: Parking and access are free. Restrooms and trails are wheelchair accessible.
Maps: A brochure and map (most recycle) are available at the trailhead.
Contact: Point Isabel Regional Shoreline, 888-327-2757, ext. 4550; East Bay Regional Park District, www.ebparks.org.
How to get there
GPS: Use 2701 Isabel St., Richmond
From San Francisco: Take the Bay Bridge east (stay left at the split) and merge onto Interstate 80 east and then continue 3.5 miles to Exit 13B signed for I-580 and San Rafael/Richmond. Stay right and take that exit 0.5 of a mile and then continue onto I-580W and drive 0.2 of a mile to Exit 12 for Central Avenue. Take that exit 0.2 of a mile to Central Avenue. Turn left on Central and drive 0.5 of a mile and continue (becomes Isabel Street) for 0.2 of a mile to park entrance, main parking and Mudpuppy’s on right.
Distances: 2 miles from El Cerrito, 4 miles from Berkeley, 12 miles from San Francisco, 14 miles from San Rafael, 26 miles from Concord, 26 miles from Pacifica, 30 miles from San Mateo.

Outdoors // Tom Stienstra ‘Lightning Trout’ electrify four East Bay lakes Tom Stienstra Dec. 1, 2019 Updated: Dec. 1, 2019 4:40 p.m.
A strain of rainbow trout called “Lightning Trout,” known for its vivid California gold color, has been stocked at four lakes at East Bay parks. Photo: Mt. Lassen Trout Farm Trout that look like no other, colored a vivid California gold and called “lightning trout,” have been planted in four lakes in the East Bay hills and brought fishing to life there.
The fish are unique with their beautiful golden coloring and reddish meat, which resembles that of a salmon. They are also known for their large size and hard fighting.
“If you are lucky enough to see one, they often look like neon lights shooting through the water,” said Joe Sullivan, the fisheries program manager for the East Bay Regional Park District.
Lightning trout are a strain of rainbow trout grown by Mt. Lassen Trout Farm. The East Bay Regional Park District purchased 2,000 pounds of lightning trout for stocking at Lake Chabot in Castro Valley, Quarry Lakes in Fremont, Shadow Cliffs Lake in Pleasanton and Del Valle Reservoir south of Livermore.
Lightning trout were made famous at Lake Amador in Amador County, where many spectacular catches put the lake on the map for anglers across Northern California. My personal log shows that lightning trout were stocked once back in 2003 in the East Bay Parks. But the number and frequency of plants didn’t turn out to be a game-changer at the time.
This time around, East Bay Parks is supplementing the stocks of lightning trout with significant plants of rainbow trout for the prospects of excellent fishing in December.
Del Valle and Quarry Lakes will be stocked three times in December, including back-to-back weeks (this week and next), each with 1,500 pounds of trout.
Lake Temescal in the Berkeley hills, Don Castro in the Hayward hills and Contra Loma Reservoir near Antioch will be stocked this week with 750 pounds. In addition, Lake Chabot and Shadow Cliffs will each be stocked with 1,000 pounds next week.
175 These trout plants are courtesy of funds collected from the $5 daily trout fee that East Bay Parks charges anglers at its lakes. In addition, the Department of Fish and Wildlife will stock Shadow Cliffs and Del Valle this week, plus next week, Lake Merced North in San Francisco, Los Vaqueros north of Livermore, and Lafayette Reservoir near Highway 24.

East Bay Regional Park District Waives Fees On ‘Green Friday’ To Get People Outdoors
November 28, 2019 at 4:42 pm
OAKLAND (CBS SF) — East Bay Regional Park District leaders are waiving fees for activities at their parks on Friday in an effort to encourage people to spend the day outdoors instead of shopping.
Known as Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving traditionally has been a busy day of holiday shopping, but this is the fifth year that the park district is holding what it calls a “Green Friday” by making its parks free to the public.
That means fees will be waived for parking, dogs, horses and boat launching and fishing, including entrance to the Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont.
Park district leaders said that with more than half of holiday shopping now taking place online, the public has more time to spend with family and friends, including the day after Thanksgiving.
“Exploring regional parks together is a great way to spend time with loved ones,” East Bay Regional Park District General Manager Robert Doyle said in a statement.
“Spending time in nature enhances physical and mental health, and strengthens bonds and connections with friends and family,” Doyle said.
The park district said its Green Friday is part of the “#OptOutside” movement that started in 2015 when REI closed its doors on Black Friday and encouraged its employees and the public to explore the outdoors instead of shopping.
The district said millions of people and hundreds of organizations now participate in #OptOutside each year. Tilden Regional Park Supervisor Dave Weaver said, “On Green Friday, Tilden Park sees huge numbers of families spending quality time together.”
Weaver said, “It’s great to see so many smiling happy faces enjoying the trails, picnic sites and Little Farm.” The Green Friday fee waiver doesn’t apply to state fees, including fishing licenses and watercraft inspections for invasive mussels, or park district concessions such as the Tilden Merry-Go-Round and the Redwood Valley Railway steam train.

177 Judge rules developer’s initiative for 1,000- plus homes in Antioch is invalid Judge said agreement could not be severed from initiative, invalidating the entire document By Judith Prieve | [email protected] | Bay Area News Group PUBLISHED: November 27, 2019 at 3:34 pm | UPDATED: December 2, 2019 at 10:22 am
Judge rules developer’s initiative for 1,000-plus homes in Antioch is invalid
A judge has invalidated a developer- backed ballot initiative that would have allowed Richland Communities to build more than a thousand homes in southern Antioch’s Sand Creek Focus Area.
In the 23-page ruling, Contra Costa Superior Court Judge Edward G. Weil stated last week that “the entire Richland Initiative is invalid” because a development agreement he earlier had determined was illegal could not be severed from it.
The ruling stemmed from lawsuits that developers Oak Hill Partners and Zeka Ranch filed against the city of Antioch and Richland Communities. The plaintiffs alleged that they were restricted from doing any large-scale development when the city adopted Richland’s West Sand Creek Open Space Protection initiative in July 2018.
Richland Communities did not return calls for comment.
Zeka Ranch’s president hailed the court ruling.
“We are grateful for the court’s ruling, as we have been discussing the development of our Antioch property with the city for decades,” Louisa Z. Kao, president of the Zeka Group, wrote in an email. “This ruling clears a path for Zeka Group to move forward with our balanced, environmentally sensitive development that will provide badly needed housing for Antioch as envisioned by the General Plan and twice approved by the voters.”
Judge Weil ruled in August that a development agreement embedded in the initiative is invalid.
Andrew A. Bassak, who represents Zeka Ranch, said that until a recent court of appeal case, voter initiatives with embedded development agreements were “a common way for developers to obtain project approvals with fewer regulatory hurdles.”
178 In his final ruling, Weil considered whether the initiative would have been adopted without the development agreement, which included a slew of community benefits such as $1.2 million for Deer Valley High School facility improvements, fees for police services, land for a new fire station and an East Bay Regional Park District trailhead.
The judge found that there was no guarantee that a different developer would agree to the same community benefits or devote as much of its land to open space and parks.
“The totality of the evidence persuades the court that the Richland Initiative was a package deal, with the city agreeing to certain General Plan and municipal code amendments in exchange for the benefits specified in the development agreement, and the City Council would not have adopted the Richland initiative if they would have known the development agreement would have to be severed,” Weil wrote.
Earlier, Kao had criticized Richland Communities, a backer of the West Sand Creek Open Space Protection initiative, for “putting a green belt out to the west to make it impossible to develop” while allowing its 1,177-home community, dubbed The Ranch, to move forward. Zeka had planned — though it didn’t complete an application — to build 340 executive-style homes on its 640-acre Zeka Ranch property on Old Empire Mine Road at the west end of the Sand Creek Focus Area.
The West Sand Creek Open Space Protection initiative would have zoned 1,244 acres west of Deer Valley Road as rural residential, agriculture and open space, with the remaining land — approximately 608 acres — available for construction, allowing only limited development for Oak Hill, which owns some 419 acres in the area.
Another related voter initiative, dubbed Let Antioch Voters Decide, would have permitted only rural high-acreage development in the Sand Creek Focus Area. It would have designated 1,850 acres west of Deer Valley Road as rural-residential, agricultural and open space and required voter approval for more intensive development.
But in August, the same court ruled the Let Antioch Voters Decide initiative was invalid because the City Council did not have the authority to adopt it. Rather, the judge said the city must put the voter initiative on the 2020 ballot.
Derek Cole, who represents the city, said it has appealed the ruling.
“The city’s position is that the City Council lawfully approved the Let Voters Decide initiative,” he said, while noting it is still evaluating whether to appeal the latest ruling on the other West Sand Creek initiative.
“The city’s position is that the two initiatives can co-exist,” Cole said.

180 Thanksgiving minus tides makes for afternoon adventures Tom Stienstra Nov. 24, 2019 Updated: Nov. 25, 2019 6:48 a.m.

A series of minus low tides will arrive in the late afternoons this week and provide Thanksgiving Day getaways at many sites along the shoreline of the bay and coast. Timing, of course, is everything.
On Thanksgiving, a high tide of 6.4 feet at 11:53 a.m. is followed by a low tide of minus-1.2 feet at 5:56 p.m. Add roughly an hour for the north bay and south bay. The official sunset time is 4:51 p.m., after which dusk light continues for about a half hour.
From midafternoon to dark, the tides will roll back and unveil miles of beach and bay mudflats. This is the best time of the season to see shorebirds feeding on the flats and to beachcomb for surprise treasures deposited by the preceding high tide. Rules at state and national park beaches ban collecting.
It’s also fun just to walk great distances on the tidal flats on the beach. At Linda Mar State Beach in southern Pacifica, for instance, you can take extended walks more than 100 yards onto the tidal flats that usually are covered with ocean waves.
The minus low tides continue through next weekend, but arrive later each evening. By Saturday, the high arrives at 1:18 p.m. and the minus low tide at 8:14 p.m, which will shorten daylight for the show at most locations.
These are the best sites for low-tide getaways:
San Francisco: Crissy Field, Ocean Beach, Fort Funston to Center Hole, Candlestick Point Recreation Area.
181 Marin/bay: Bothin Marsh at Richardson Bay, Jakes Island at China Camp State Park, Napa- Sonoma Marsh, Novato Marsh, Petaluma Marsh.
Marin/coast: Stinson Beach, mouth of Bolinas Lagoon, Limantour Beach at Point Reyes National Seashore.
Peninsula/coast: Mussel Rock, Linda Mar State Beach, Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, Pillar Point Harbor, Mavericks Beach.
Peninsula/bay: Oyster Point, Palo Alto Baylands, Foster City Lagoon; note: Ravenswood Preserve is closed for reconstruction and will reopen in February.
Contra Costa County: Point Pinole, Martinez, Miller-Knox, Point Isabel Big Break regional shorelines.
Alameda County: Crown Memorial, Marsh Hayward Regional Shoreline, Martin Luther King, Don Edwards S.F. Bay National Wildlife Refuge.

182 Rare golden-colored ‘lightning’ trout placed in East Bay lakes in time for Thanksgiving 'Lightning trout' released into four lakes By Angela Ruggiero | [email protected] | Bay Area News Group PUBLISHED: November 26, 2019 at 2:46 pm | UPDATED: November 27, 2019 at 11:33 am
LIVERMORE, CA – NOVEMBER 26: East Bay Regional Park District employee Jason O’ Connor helps to stock 500 pounds of lightning trout at Lake Del Valle State Recreation Area on Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2019, in Livermore, Calif. (Aric Crabb/Bay Area News Group)
LIVERMORE — A special and sought-after trout that looks like a glowing orange neon light, has been placed in four East Bay lakes to the delight of anglers.
“Lightning trout” are a special type of rainbow trout that have not been in East Bay regional lakes for more than a decade. Now just in time for Thanksgiving, about 2,000 pounds of the unique trout were planted in Del Valle Lake near Livermore, Lake Chabot in Castro Valley, Quarry Lakes in Fremont and Shadow Cliffs near Pleasanton this week by the East Bay Regional Parks District.
The trout typically bite in the mornings and evening and are easily distinguishable by their golden color and red stripe down their sides: they may look like a neon light flashing through the water, the district says.
Joe Sullivan, the park district’s fisheries district manager said they have had many requests for the special trout, but were unable to get some because of the drought in recent years. But this year, a few extra thousand pounds of the fish were made available by Mount Lassen Trout Farm.
Lightning trout are a unique genetic strain of rainbow trout, which is native to East Bay waterways, according to the district. Lightning trout are specifically bred to be planted in waterways for recreational fishing, and are not able to reproduce.
The fish, similar in meat to that of salmon, fight well and taste good, Sullivan said. The district usually stocks up rainbow trout, which is, contrary to its name, not rainbow colored but more
183 gray-green with a red stripe on its sides. On Tuesday, when the 500 pounds of lightning trout were planted in Del Valle Lake, another 700 pounds of rainbow trout were also mixed in, he said.
Sullivan doesn’t expect the popular fish to last more than a week — both from anglers wanting to get their hands on the golden fish, and predators that can more easily spot it in the water because of its color. Sullivan said not to be surprised if a pelican or bald eagle swoops in for a taste of the fish themselves.
“I’m just hoping it sparks more interest to the people out there fishing,” Sullivan said.
Sullivan said he hasn’t caught one himself, but instead will leave it to the anglers at the lakes “to have the fun.”
Stocking fish in the district’s lakes is common, and usually occurs weekly. As a public service, the district plants 130,000 pounds of fish annually in its lakes.
In the cooler months, trout is stocked, while in the summer months, the lakes are stocked with catfish, which can withstand warmer water temperatures.
East Bay Regional Park District gets “tens of thousands” of anglers each year, with Del Valle its most popular fishing lake.
Anglers 16 years and older are required to purchase a district fishing access permit at East Bay regional parks in addition to having a valid state fishing license. However, this Friday the parks district will hold a “Green Friday” where all park entrance fees are waived, including the daily fishing permit, said Dave Mason, the district’s public information supervisor. However, state licenses for fishing are still required.

184 11 Dec Train-free Miller-Knox Park Celebrations Saturday Posted at 21:25h in Neighborhoods, News by Pulse Editor 0 Comments
By Michael J. Fitzgerald
The Miller-Knox Regional Park will host two public celebrations from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14.
One celebration on the east side of the lagoon is to recognize the East Bay Regional Park District’s successful legal efforts to keep Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railroad from running freight trains along the shore of the Bay.
The other is to honor retiring EBRPD Director Whitney Dotson, who represents Richmond and the Miller-Knox park area.
A free lunch and refreshments will be provided.
After a court battle between the park district and BNSF railroad, a Contra Costa County Superior Court judge ruled that the railroad does not have rights to reactivate abandoned tracks in the park, nor could it claim any kind of federal law pre-emption.
Since that ruling — as yet unsigned by the judge — BNSF has indicated it might want to discuss some type of settlement. What that might entail is still being considered, according to Eric Zell, a Point Richmond resident who helped muster public opposition to the Texas-based railroad’s plans.
“The collective voice of the Richmond Community was heard,” promotional materials for the Saturday event say. “With your support, we have made great strides towards eliminating trains from beautiful Miller-Knox Regional Park.”
Also at Saturday’s event, retiring EBRPD Director Whitney Dotson will be honored for his 11 years of service on the park district’s board of directors.
Dotson is a lifelong Richmond resident and is credited with a number of contributions to the community and park, including restoring the Dotson Family Marsh at Point Pinole, building a new public access overcrossing to Point Pinole-Atlas Road Bridge, and closing gaps in the San Francisco Bay Trail in Pinole, Albany and Richmond.
For questions about Saturday’s celebrations, contact Monique Salas at [email protected] or 510-544-2008.
