          [Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda]
COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA. WE HAVE ONE HAND UP ONLINE. THIS IS THE TIME WHEN MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC CAN ADDRESS THE BOARD ON ITEMS NOT ON TODAY'S AGENDA. SO WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD AND HAVE THAT ONE PERSON ONLINE? JOIN US FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE. 
          MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MAY PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT EITHER IN PERSON OR VIA ZOOM. THOSE ATTENDING IN PERSON SHALL SUBMIT A SPEAKER CARD TO THE CLERK, STAFF, OR OTHERWISE INDICATE THEIR DESIRE TO SPEAK ON A NON-AGENDA ITEM. THOSE ATTENDING VIA ZOOM MAY USE THE RAISE YOUR HAND FEATURE. 
          SPEAKERS WILL BE CALLED WHEN IT IS THEIR TURN TO SPEAK. DAVID LUNN, YOU MAY UNMUTE YOURSELF. 
          UNMUTED. THANK YOU. I'LL START WITH THE QUESTION, THAT'S AT THE END. MY QUESTION REALLY IS, CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THE ISSUES REGARDING OPENING A TRAIL THAT CONNECTS LAS VAQUEROS WITH BRUSHY PEAK? I HEAR THERE'S NATIVE AMERICAN ISSUES THERE, AND I'M A LEADER ON A SONS IN RETIREMENT GROUP. AND WE REALLY LIKE TO HIKE THAT ROUTE, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S SOME NATIVE AMERICAN ISSUES AND WE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE. 
          IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE IF SOMEONE COULD EXPLAIN IT. AND THE REASON I BRING THIS UP IS THIS IS THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ANZ EXPEDITION IN THE LIVERMORE AREA IN THE MERION. 
          MURRAY TOWNSHIP AREA, AND THEY CAMP NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF GREENVILLE ROAD AND TESLA ROAD ON APRIL 4TH, 1776. THEY PROBABLY HAD 50 HORSES AND NEEDED WATER IN APRIL, AND THERE'S A SPRING-FED POND THERE. SO IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS AN IMPORTANT 250TH ANNIVERSARY THAT I THINK PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN. AND THEN THE DESIGNATED ANZA TRAIL IS MARKED AS TRAVELING UP MARSH CREEK ROAD THROUGH LOS VAQUEROS. AND THEN CROSSING OVER TO BRUTKI PEAK PRESERVE, AND THE TRAIL EXTENDS. SO THERE'S AN EXISTING TRAIL ALL THE WAY THERE, EXCEPT FOR THE LAST 150 FEET TO THE TOP OF THE WATERSHED DIVIDE. AND THE DIVIDE IS EASILY VISIBLE ON GOOGLE MAPS. YOU COULD SEE IT. THERE'S NO TREES THERE AND NO HOMES ON THE PROPERTY. AND IT WOULD PROBABLY FOLLOW THE NATIVE, HISTORIC AMERICAN. 
          NATIVE AMERICAN TRAIL FROM OREGON TERRITORY AT BEAUBON CAMP, ALL THE WAY TO THE BLACK HILLS TRAIL TO BRUSHY PEAK. SO WE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN'T HIKE THAT TRAIL. OUR GROUP HAS HIKED IT BEFORE, AND, YOU KNOW, IT DOES GO ACROSS PRIVATE PROPERTY, SO WE'RE TRYING TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THAT. BUT OPENING THIS TRAIL WOULD COMMEMORATE THE CENTURIES OF NATIVE AMERICAN TRAIL ROUTES THAT CONNECTED IMPORTANT NATIVE AMERICAN... SITES. AND IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT CULTURAL RESOURCES, YOU KNOW YOU COULD HAVE DISPLAYS THERE OR EXPLAIN HOW WHERE THESE NATURAL TRAILS WENT. AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'D BE INTERESTING, YOU KNOW, I WENT TO ONE OF THE ANN HOLMAN'S REPORT, UH, THE LIBRARY, AND SHE TALKED ABOUT STUFF. AND AND EVERYONE THAT I HIKE WITH THINKS IT'S A GOOD IDEA, SO, BUT RUMORS ARE THAT WE CAN'T HIKE THERE. SO IF SOMEONE COULD EXPLAIN THESE ISSUES TO THE PUBLIC, THEN MAYBE WE COULD BETTER UNDERSTAND. 
          UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE WE ARE TRYING TO BE AS RESPECTFUL AS WE CAN. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THERE IS 
          [00:05:01]
NO MORE PUBLIC COMMENT. NO MORE PUBLIC COMMENT. AND ACTION ITEMS. ARE THERE ANY ACTION ITEMS? NONE. AND INFORMATIONAL 
          [Informational Items]
ITEMS. WE'LL START WITH THE REGIONAL SHORELINE CLIMATE ADAPTATION PLAN, WITH PARTNERSHIPS IN PLANNING FOR SEA LEVEL RISE. AND I BELIEVE BRIAN HOLTZ WILL INTRODUCE THIS TOPIC. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BRIAN HOLTZ, ACTING ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER, ACQUISITION, STEWARDSHIP AND PLANNING. WE ACTUALLY HAVE TWO ITEMS FOR YOU TODAY. THE FIRST ONE IS ON REGIONAL SHORELINE CLIMATE ADAPTATION. OUR PRINCIPAL PLANNER, DEVIN REIF, WILL BE OPENING UP THAT PRESENTATION, AND THEN WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OUTSIDE PARTNERS JOINING VIRTUALLY WHO WILL GIVE SOME PRESENTATIONS ON SOME OF THE REGIONAL EFFORTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON AROUND SHORELINE ADAPTATION. 
          WITH THAT, I'LL HAND IT OVER TO DEVIN. THANKS VERY MUCH, BRIAN, AND GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          CHAIR DESCHAMBAULT AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, I'M DEVIN REIF, PRINCIPAL PLANNER WITH THE PARK DISTRICT. I'M PLEASED TODAY TO BE ABLE TO BRING YOU A PRESENTATION ON REGIONAL SHORELINE CLIMATE ADAPTATION, PARTNERSHIPS, AND PLANNING FOR SEA LEVEL RISE. AS YOU KNOW, THE PARK DISTRICT MAINTAINS ACCESS TO THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY TRAIL FOR PUBLIC RECREATION AND AT THE SAME TIME INVESTS IN HABITAT PROTECTION, OFTENTIMES IN THE SAME PARK, LIKE HERE AT THE HAYWARD REGIONAL SHORELINE. THE PARK DISTRICT MUST TAKE A REGIONAL APPROACH TO CLIMATE RESILIENCY BECAUSE THE DISTRICT OWNS OR MANAGES 55 MILES OF BAY SHORELINE. THESE ARE UNIQUE PARKS LIKE COYOTE HILLS IN THE SOUTH, NORTH, THROUGH OYSTER BAY, MLK SHORELINE, MCLAUGHLIN EAST SHORE, ALL THE WAY AROUND TO RADKE-MARTINEZ SHORELINE. SO PLANNING FOR SEA LEVEL RISE IS UNDERWAY IN CITIES LIKE HAYWARD, EMERYVILLE, RICHMOND, AND THE PARK. DISTRICT IS ON NUMEROUS STAKEHOLDER COMMITTEES AND TECHNICAL ADVISORY GROUPS TO SUPPORT THESE EFFORTS. AND WE EXPECT TO BE INVITED TO MORE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. 
          TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF WHAT SEA LEVEL RISE MIGHT LOOK LIKE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME IMAGES FROM JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. 
          ACTING GENERAL MANAGER CORTON SHARED SOME OF THESE IMAGES AT LAST WEEK'S BOARD DIRECTOR'S MEETING. I'LL SHOW YOU A FEW MORE. THESE IMAGES SHOW EFFECTS AFTER RECENT KING TIDES AND WINTER STORMS AT CROWN BEACH IN ALAMEDA, AND HERE IS A PICTURE OF... CROWN BEACH IN 2013. JUST AS A COMPARISON. 
          HERE'S A PHOTO FROM THIS YEAR WHERE THE BAY WATER IS REACHING THE STEPS OF THE CROWN BEACH BATHHOUSE. YOU CAN SEE HOW THE SAND EROSION IS REALLY AFFECTING CROWN BEACH IN THESE TWO PICTURES. A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN, HERE'S KING TIDE, HIGH TIDES AT HAYWARD REGIONAL SHORELINE. THIS BRIDGE IS BOTH THE BAY TRAIL AND ALSO OUR PARK OPERATIONS ACCESS ROAD. 
          SO THESE EXAMPLES ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF DIFFERENT PARKS ON THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY SHORELINE, AND NOT JUST PARK DISTRICT PARKS. BECAUSE MARIN COUNTY SAW A LOT OF FLOODING THIS YEAR AS WELL. 
          SO WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IN THIS PRESENTATION TODAY IS HIGHLIGHT TWO CURRENT THANK YOU. 
          REGIONAL CLIMATE RESILIENCY EFFORTS, WHICH THE PARK DISTRICT IS TAKING PART IN. 
          THE FIRST IS THE HAYWARD AREA SHORELINE PLANNING AGENCY, OR HASPA. AND TO SPEAK ABOUT IT, I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE FIRST OF OUR TWO INVITED SPEAKERS. 
          THAT'S ADRIENNE HARRIS, WHO IS THE NEW HASPA MANAGER. SHE WORKS ON A CONTRACT FOR HASPA. SHE ACTUALLY WORKS FOR AN ORGANIZATION NAMED REGIONAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES. 
          AND ADRIENNE HAS JOINED US ON ZOOM, SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU, ADRIENNE, AND I CAN ADVANCE YOUR SLIDES. THANK YOU, DEVIN. GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME TO SPEAK. 
          YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO, AS DEVIN MENTIONED, I AM THE NEWER HASPA MANAGER, HELPING TO RUN THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE ORGANIZATION AND HASPA, THE HAYWARD AREA SHORELINE PLANNING AGENCY. REALLY, THE WORK THAT WE DO IS TRYING TO ADVANCE COLLABORATIVE CLIMATE ADAPTATION, PLANNING AND FOCUSING ON PROTECTING PEOPLE, PUBLIC HEALTH. INFRASTRUCTURE, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND SHORELINE ACCESS ALONG HAYWARD AREA SHORELINE. EAST BAY REGIONAL PARKS IS A LARGE LANDOWNER IN THE AREA THAT WE FOCUS ON AND HAS BEEN A GREAT PARTNER TO THE ORGANIZATION. NEXT SLIDE. SO, HASPA IS A JOINT POWERS AGENCY, AND CURRENT MEMBERSHIP IS THE CITY OF HAYWARD, EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT, HARD, AND ALAMEDA COUNTY. MOSQUITO ABATEMENT DISTRICT. SO HASPA HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1970, AND 
          [00:10:01]
IT WAS INITIALLY FORMED BECAUSE OF PUBLIC INTEREST IN PROTECTING THE SHORELINE. 
          IN RECENT YEARS, THOUGH, THE ORGANIZATION HAS REFOCUSED ITS MISSION ON IMPACTS OF SEA LEVEL RISE, BOTH TO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND TO HUMAN ENVIRONMENTS. AND IN 2021, THE ORGANIZATION, WITH SUPPORTIVE GRANT FUNDS FROM CALTRANS, COMPLETED THEIR SHORELINE MASTER PLAN. AND WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON DEVELOPING THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THAT SHORELINE MASTER PLAN TO REALLY PRIORITIZE POTENTIAL CAPITAL PROJECTS ALONG THE SHORELINE AND A STRATEGY FOR IMPLEMENTING THOSE OVER TIME. NEXT SLIDE. SO THIS IS JUST A FRONT COVER OF OUR PLAN. THE WORK THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING REALLY IS TO COORDINATE REGIONAL PARTNERS TO ADVANCE ADAPTATION STRATEGIES. YOU KNOW, EAST BAY REGIONAL PARKS AND HASPA AND OTHER ENTITIES LIKE EBDA ARE ALL IN COORDINATION. TALKING ABOUT NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS ALONG THE SHORELINE AND HOW WE CAN ADVANCE THOSE. IF YOU'VE HEARD OF THE FIRST MILE LEVEE PROJECT, THAT IS ONE OF THE THE PROJECTS THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE. 
          IN PART, ON EAST BAY, REGIONAL PARKS LAND. TO LOOK AT WAYS TO HAVE MULTI-BENEFIT PROJECTS, BOTH PROTECTING THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE COMMUNITIES ADJACENT, AND POTENTIALLY PROVIDE FOR WASTEWATER CLEANING. SO WE ARE PROACTIVELY WORKING TO SEE WHAT WE NEED TO DO. NEW FOR THE RSAP, THE REGIONAL SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLAN, GUIDANCE COMING OUT OF PCTC, TRYING TO BRING PARTNERS TOGETHER TO LOOK AT THIS ADAPTATION. 
          AND I THINK MY NEXT SLIDE IS JUST, DEVIN, OH NO, SO I THOUGHT I HAD A SLIDE IN THERE OF DIFFERENT PARTNERS, BUT WE'RE WORKING WITH A WHOLE GROUP OF ENTITIES, INCLUDING JURISDICTIONS THROUGH THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH OF HAYWARD, BCDC, SAN FRANCISCO ESTUARY PARTNERSHIP IS A BIG PARTNER AS WELL. AND BIG SPECIAL THANKS TO EAST BAY REGIONAL PARKS AND THE STAFF THERE. YOU HAVE BEEN SERVING AS WHAT WE CALL OUR MANAGING AGENCY FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. 
          IN THAT IN HASPA BEEN ROTATING WORK BETWEEN THE CITY OF HAYWARD, HARD, AND EAST BAY REGIONAL PARKS TO SUPPORT THE WORK OF THE ORGANIZATION. AND DEVON. AND EDDIE WILLIS AND HIS SAME BRANCH HAVE REALLY BEEN ADVANCING THAT WORK, AND WE GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU, ADRIENNE. I DID WANT TO MENTION TO THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT ONE OF THE PROJECTS, OF COURSE, THAT'S FULLY PERMITTED NOW, FULLY DESIGNED, IS THE EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT'S HAYWARD MARSH RESTORATION. SO THAT IS ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT WAS. 
          INCLUDED IN THIS MASTER PLAN, AND IT'S, IN FACT, THE FIRST CAPITAL PROJECT THAT'S MOVING FORWARD UNDER CONSTRUCTION. SO NOW WE WANT TO TURN TO. I WAS JUST GOING TO JUMP IN REAL QUICK. I JUST WANTED TO MENTION IT WASN'T NECESSARILY MENTIONED IN THERE, BUT JUST TO RECOGNIZE BOARD MEMBER DENNIS WASPIE. HE SITS ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR HASPA, AND I BELIEVE DIRECTOR ESPANA. NO, THERE'S AN ALTERNATE ON THERE, THE PARK DISTRICT. 
          YEAH, THANK YOU FOR ADDING THAT. WE SUPER APPRECIATE THAT EFFORT IN THE PARK DISTRICT. SO WE'VE INVITED A SECOND SET OF SPEAKERS TO TALK ABOUT WHAT ADRIENNE JUST MENTIONED, THE REGIONAL SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLAN THAT BCDC HAS PRODUCED. SO I'D LIKE TO INVITE SABRINA LOPEZ AND DANA BRECKWALD ON ZOOM. 
          SABRINA, CAN YOU HEAR US? YES, WE ARE HERE. EXCELLENT. 
          WELL, WELCOME. I CAN ADVANCE YOUR SLIDES. GREAT. THANK YOU, DEVIN. GOOD AFTERNOON TO MEMBERS OF THE NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE. 
          I'M DANA BRECKWALD, ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR FOR CLIMATE ADAPTATION AT THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION. MY COLLEAGUE SABRINA AND I ARE PLEASED TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY ABOUT BCC'S REGIONAL SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLAN, OR RSAP, AND HOW YOU CAN BE AN ACTIVE PARTNER IN SHAPING WHAT THE FUTURE OF THE SHORELINE CAN LOOK LIKE IN THE EAST BAY. AS YOU KNOW, SHORELINE RECREATION IS ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THAT MAKES THE BAY AREA SPECIAL, AND AS SEA LEVELS RISE, PRESERVING THE BEAUTY AND FUNCTION OF... OF THESE, PARKS AND POINTS OF RECREATION SHOULD BE A HIGH PRIORITY. 
          IN FACT, PRESERVING ACCESS TO THE SHORELINE VIA WATERFRONT PARKS, BEACHES, PUBLIC ACCESS SITES, AND BAY AND WATER TRAIL SITES ARE SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT AS A REQUIREMENT IN THE REGIONAL SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLAN. SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU TO PRESERVE AND ENHANCE THE WONDERFUL WORK THE EAST BAY REGIONAL PARKS DISTRICT DOES ALONGSIDE LOCAL GOVERNMENT PARTNERS VIA THESE RSAP 
          [00:15:01]
ADAPTATION PLANS. SO NOW I WILL TURN IT OVER TO SABRINA. 
          DANA, HELLO EVERYONE. NICE TO MEET YOU BOARD MEMBERS AND THANKS FOR HAVING US HERE TODAY. MY NAME IS SABRINA LOPEZ AND I'M A CLIMATE ADAPTATION PLANNER AT THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, ALSO KNOWN AS BCDC. 
          WE'RE A STATE AGENCY IN CALIFORNIA THAT PERMITS DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE SHORELINE AND LEADS REGIONAL PLANNING EFFORTS ON SEA LEVEL RISE. 
          FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MINUTES, I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OUR ROLE IN CLIMATE ADAPTATION PLANNING IN THE BAY. AND HOPEFULLY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. BUT BEFORE WE GET STARTED, WE WANT TO FIRST JUST SHARE A LITTLE MORE ABOUT WHO WE ARE. MY NAME IS SABRINA LOPEZ AND WITH ME IS DANA BRECKWALD, MY SUPERVISOR, AND WE ARE BOTH THE POINTS OF CONTACT FOR ALAMEDA AND CONTRA COSTA COUNTY. WE HAVE A TEAM OF FOUR STAFF AND SUPERVISORS THAT WORK DIRECTLY WITH LOCAL JURISDICTIONS, SUPPORTING THEIR PLANNING PROCESS. AND A BIG COMPONENT OF OUR WORK IS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, SUPPORT AND MAKING SURE THAT JURISDICTIONS CONNECT WITH OTHER AGENCIES AND SPECIAL DISTRICTS. LIKE YOU, WHO AREN'T REQUIRED TO DO PLANS BUT SHOULD BE INVOLVED. WE CURRENTLY HAVE SOME INFORMATIONAL WEBINARS FROM LAST YEAR THAT YOU CAN FIND ON YOUTUBE, AND ARE ALSO DOING OUR SPRING WEBINAR SERIES RIGHT NOW. WHERE WE DIVE A LITTLE DEEPER INTO THE INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED IN OUR RSAP GUIDELINES. SO, IF YOU'D LIKE TO JOIN US, OUR NEXT WEBINAR IS MARCH 25TH, COVERING THE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT PIECE OF THE GUIDELINES. AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED FOR SIGNING UP FOR THIS WEBINAR OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE JUST REACH OUT TO US AT THE CONTACT INFORMATION THAT YOU SEE HERE. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AND AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, BCDC IS A STATE AGENCY THAT MANAGES FILL IN THE BAY, PERMITS DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE SHORELINE, AND LEADS REGIONAL PLANNING EFFORTS ON SEA LEVEL RISE. BCDC HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1976 AND WAS THE FIRST COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT AGENCY IN THE COUNTRY. WE ORIGINALLY STARTED AS AN AGENCY THAT WAS MANAGING A SHRINKING BAY DUE TO FILL, BUT ARE NOW MANAGING AN EXPANDING BAY DUE TO SEA LEVEL RISE. IN 2023, STATE LEGISLATION PASSED INTO LAW THROUGH SENATE BILL 272, GIVING BCDC RESPONSIBILITY FOR OVERSEEING SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLANS IN THE BAY AREA. THIS BILL REQUIRES LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WITHIN BCDC'S JURISDICTION. 
          THANK YOU. TO DEVELOP SUB-REGIONAL SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLANS BY 2034, AS WELL AS FOR BCDC TO DEVELOP THE GUIDELINES THAT THOSE PLANS MUST FOLLOW. SO, BCDC ADOPTED THE REGIONAL SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLAN, MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE RSAP, GUIDELINES IN DECEMBER OF 2024. WE'RE ALSO NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING AND APPROVING OR DENYING SUB-REGIONAL SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLANS BASED ON ON THEIR CONSISTENCY. 
          WITH THOSE GUIDELINES, THE BILL ALSO COMES WITH A CARROT. IT PRIORITIZES STATE FUNDING FOR PROJECTS AND APPROVED PLANS. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO, DIVING A LITTLE DEEPER INTO THE REGIONAL SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLAN ITSELF. WE WANT TO, 1ST, JUST DEFINE WHAT IT IS. IT IS A PLAN THAT GUIDES LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ON HOW TO CREATE LOCAL, SUB REGIONAL PLANS TO ACHIEVE. COORDINATED, CONSISTENT, AND EFFECTIVE SEA LEVEL RISE ADAPTATION THAT WORKS TOGETHER OVER TIME. IN CALIFORNIA, LAND USE IS LOCALLY CONTROLLED, SO ADAPTATION PLANNING NEEDS TO OCCUR AT THE LOCAL SCALE. 
          HOWEVER, SEA LEVEL RISE CROSSES MANY JURISDICTIONS AND BOUNDARIES, SO THE RSAP IS DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE COLLABORATION AND CONSISTENCY WHILE SUPPORTING LOCAL EFFORTS. THE RSAP CONSISTS OF THREE MAIN PARTS. A ONE BAY VISION, WHICH DEFINES WHAT SUCCESSFUL ADAPTATION WOULD LOOK LIKE FOR THE REGION, ORGANIZED BY EIGHT TOPIC AREAS THAT COVER A RANGE OF ISSUES LIKE COMMUNITIES, ECOSYSTEM, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND MORE. THEN WE HAVE STRATEGIC REGIONAL PRIORITIES, WHICH ARE KEY ISSUES THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED THAT ARE CRITICAL TO THE REGION, BUT REQUIRE MANY INDIVIDUAL CITIES TO TAKE ACTION. AND WE'VE INTENTIONALLY CALLED THEM OUT AS KEY PRIORITIES TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE ADDRESSED IN ADAPTATION. AND LASTLY, THE BIG PART OF THIS DOCUMENT ARE THE SPECIFIC GUIDELINES THAT DEFINE HOW LOCAL 
          [00:20:02]
GOVERNMENTS MUST CREATE SUB-REGIONAL PLANS. A MAJOR FUNCTION THAT THE PLAN PLAYS IS SETTING CONSISTENCY IN FLOOD HAZARDS AND SEA LEVEL RISE PROJECTIONS, COORDINATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS AND JURISDICTIONS. 
          EQUITABLE ENGAGEMENT, AND IDENTIFYING ADAPTATION STRATEGIES AND PATHWAYS. 
          SLIDE, PLEASE. SO, SENATE BILL 272 ONLY REQUIRES THAT CITIES AND COUNTIES DEVELOP THESE PLANS, BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER KEY PLAYERS THAT SHOULD BE INVOLVED. THAT'S WHY, WHEN CREATING THE RCEP GUIDELINES, BCDC MADE COORDINATION WITH VARIOUS KEY PLAYERS A REQUIREMENT. STAKEHOLDERS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE ENGAGED ARE NEIGHBORING JURISDICTIONS, SO CITIES AND COUNTIES, SPECIAL DISTRICTS, INCLUDING TRANSIT AND OPEN SPACE, ASSET OWNERS, OPERATORS, AND MANAGERS, MAJOR LAND OWNERS, INDUSTRIES, OR BUSINESSES IN THE AREA, TRIBES, BOTH FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED AND NON-FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED, NEIGHBORHOODS, COMMUNITIES, COMMUNITY GROUPS, AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS. IN THE CASE OF THE EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK SPECIAL DISTRICT, THERE ARE MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS THAT HAVE FORMALLY INITIATED THEIR SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLANNING PROCESSES, AS WELL AS GROUPS THAT HAVE RECEIVED FUNDING FOR THEIR PLANS BUT HAVEN'T FORMALLY INITIATED YET. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, BOTH THE CITIES OF ALAMEDA AND RICHMOND HAVE FORMALLY INITIATED SUB-REGIONAL PLANS. WE TRACK PROGRESS ON OUR BCDC WEBSITE, SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO VISIT OUR PLAN TRACKER TO KNOW WHEN PLANS HAVE INITIATED. 
          WHILE THE CITIES OF HERCULES AND PINOLE HAVEN'T INITIATED YET, WE KNOW THAT THEY WERE APPROVED FOR AN SB1 PLANNING GRANT. 
          CONTRA COSTA COUNTY HAS ALSO RECEIVED A GRANT AND IS WORKING ON A MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL PLAN THAT INCLUDES MULTIPLE CITIES IN THE COUNTY. THE CITY OF OAKLAND IS CURRENTLY COORDINATING WITH THE OAKLAND ALAMEDA ADAPTATION COMMITTEE AND THE EAST BAY CRESCENT OPERATIONAL LANDSCAPE UNIT, WHICH INCLUDES THE CITIES OF BERKELEY, ALBANY, AND EMERYVILLE. EAST BAY REGIONAL PARKS. COORDINATING WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ON THESE PLANS IS A GREAT WAY TO HAVE YOUR VOICE HEARD AND ENSURE THE ASSETS YOU CARE ABOUT ARE PRIORITIZED. WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF RESOURCES ONLINE TO TRACK PLAN PROGRESS, SO THAT'S A GREAT WAY TO STAY INFORMED. 
          BUT DON'T HESITATE TO REACH OUT IF YOU NEED ANYTHING OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. THAT'S IT, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. OKAY, THANK YOU, SABRINA AND DANA, AND THANK YOU TO THE COMMITTEE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TWO OF THE PARK DISTRICT'S CURRENT RESILIENCY PARTNERSHIPS THAT ARE ADDRESSING SEA LEVEL RISE. SO WE'RE ALL OPEN FOR QUESTIONS. 
          GREAT, THANK YOU SO MUCH, DEVIN, ADRIAN, DANA, SABRINA. 
          DO WE HAVE ANY CLARIFYING QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE? SURE. ADRIENNE, IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY. I KNOW LAST YEAR I SERVED AS THE ALTERNATE FOR HASPA, AND I BELIEVE IT WAS AT THE MEETING WHERE WE STARTED TO PUT TOGETHER THE WORK. 
          TO HIRE YOU. SO IT'S GREAT TO SEE THAT HAPPEN, HAVING BEEN A PART OF THAT STAGE OF THE PROCESS. I GUESS ONE QUESTION I HAVE IS FOR BCDC. I'M CURIOUS HOW YOU WORK WITH THE BCC. WITH U.S. 
          FISH AND WILDLIFE, KNOWING THAT THEY HAVE QUITE A BIT OF THE SHORELINE, STARTING IN SOUTHERN ALAMEDA COUNTY. 
          AND I KNOW WE HERE AT EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT, WE'RE VERY PROUD OF OUR CONNECTING TRAIL FROM DUMBARTON QUARRY CAMPGROUND TO DON EDWARDS, U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE AREA. AND I'M JUST CURIOUS HOW THAT PARTNERSHIP WORKS WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION. 
          YEAH, WE ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE A VERY STRONG PARTNERSHIP WITH U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE, SO THANK YOU FOR RECOMMENDING THAT WE STRENGTHEN THAT PARTNERSHIP. 
          THERE ARE A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGIONAL SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLAN, AS WELL AS JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN PARTNERING WITH, OR AGENCIES THAT ARE INTERESTED IN PARTNERING WITH JURISDICTIONS. SO WE'RE TRYING TO DEVELOP WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN COORDINATE WITH ALL THOSE AGENCIES, BETWEEN THE AGENCIES AND THE JURISDICTIONS BETTER, SUCH AS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT CONTACTS, HOSTING OFFICE HOURS, AND ALLOWING PEOPLE TO CONNECT, THAT SHOULD BE CONNECTING. SO IF YOU HAVE A GREAT CONTACT AT U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE THAT YOU THINK WE SHOULD BE TALKING TO, WE'D LOVE TO HEAR THAT. BUT 
          [00:25:03]
THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN WORK ON. GREAT. 
          AND THEN MY FOLLOW-UP IS WITH THIS. I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE A STATE AGENCY. SO THE NORTH OF COYOTE HILLS, WE HAVE THE EDEN LANDING AREA, THAT'S CALIFORNIA STATE FISH AND WILDLIFE. AND SO I'M CURIOUS HOW YOU WORK WITH THAT OTHER SISTER STATE AGENCY. WE ACTUALLY COORDINATE. QUITE OFTEN, WITH OTHER STATE AGENCIES THAT ARE WORKING ON SEA LEVEL RISE ADAPTATION. 
          WE'RE ALL PART OF A STATEWIDE WORKING GROUP, AS WELL AS THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE PART OF THE CALIFORNIA NATURAL RESOURCES AGENCY, WHICH WE ARE PART OF. SO WE DO COORDINATE ON A REGULAR BASIS, BUT WE'RE STILL VERY EARLY IN THE DAYS OF DEVELOPING THESE PLANS. AND SO WE HAVEN'T YET SORT OF IDENTIFIED THE WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND CADENCE FOR ENSURING THAT THESE ENTITIES ARE ENGAGED IN THE LOCAL PLANS. AS I SAID, WE DID HAVE A STEERING COMMITTEE AND AN ADVISORY GROUP THAT HELPED US SHAPE THE GUIDELINES. BUT NOW THE PLANS ARE ACTUALLY STARTING TO... 
          KICK OFF, BUT STILL, IN VERY EARLY DAYS, WE'RE REALLY FIGURING OUT WHAT THOSE RELATIONSHIPS LOOK LIKE. 
          OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. THOSE ARE ALL MY QUESTIONS. I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF I HAVE OTHERS. THE RSAP PLANNING, DOES IT EXTEND TO NORTHERN CONTRA COSTA, THE SHORELINE UP INTO THE DELTA? IT ENDS AT BCDC'S, AT THE END OF BCDC'S JURISDICTION, WHICH IS IN EASTERN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, SO IT DOESN'T EXTEND INTO THE DELTA, BUT IT DOES, THE LAW STATES THAT ANY JURISDICTION WITHIN BCDC'S JURISDICTION IS SUBJECT TO S.B. 272. SO THAT'S QUITE A BIT OF SHORELINE THAT INCLUDES THE PARK DISTRICT. YEAH, AND IT'S 51 CITIES AND COUNTIES AROUND THE BAY AREA THAT ARE REQUIRED TO DO THESE PLANS. 
          DEVIN, I'VE ENGAGED A COUPLE OF TIMES IN SOME COMMUNITY INPUT SESSIONS AT BIG BREAK. SO IS THIS THE KIND OF PLANNING THAT'S GOING INTO THAT EFFORT? I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH. DO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR DEVIN? FOR DEVIN. YES, FOR DANA. OKAY. LET ME LOOK INTO IT. LET ME SEE WHAT THOSE INITIATIVES WERE. I THINK WHAT THE PARK DISTRICT HAS BEEN DOING HAS BEEN GETTING INVITED TO VARIOUS STAKEHOLDER WORKING GROUPS AROUND THESE RSAPS. AS DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS LIKE THE CITY OF RICHMOND INVITED US TO PARTICIPATE, CITY OF EMERYVILLE. SO IT'S POSSIBLE THAT WE'LL BE INVITED IN THE FUTURE, AND THERE MAY BE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO INITIATE DISCUSSIONS BEFORE. 
          THERE'S AN ACTIVE WORKING GROUP AS WELL. OKAY. THEN, LASTLY, I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT WE START LOOKING AT... THE MARTINEZ SHORELINE. 
          AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, ABOUT A THIRD OF OUR TRAILS ARE UNDERWATER, AND THE MARTINEZ END, I KNOW THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF LOCAL PLANNING FOR THE MARINA AREA, BUT AN EFFORT TO RE-IMAGE WHAT THE MARTINEZ SHORELINE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE IS IMPORTANT TO AT LEAST START THINKING ABOUT, GIVEN CURRENT CONDITIONS. IT TAKES OUT ABOUT, I WOULD GUESS, ABOUT A THIRD OF THE TRAIL ACCESS THIS TIME OF YEAR. SO THAT WOULD BE MY THOUGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 
          I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. 
          SORT OF BUILDING ON WHAT WAS ALREADY MENTIONED, I HEARD YOU HAD A SLIDE THAT DIDN'T POP UP WITH ALL YOUR VARIOUS PARTNERSHIPS, BUT I KNOW I ATTENDED A FEW WORKSHOPS. I THINK GREENBELT ALLIANCE WAS WORKING ON AN OAKLAND ALAMEDA OACC. GROUP, AND THEN, I KNOW AT SOME POINT THERE WAS THE ADAPTING TIDES, AND THEN AT SOME POINT YOU MENTIONED STATEWIDE WORKING GROUP. IT'D JUST BE INTERESTING. YOU MENTIONED THAT, IS THERE A CENTRAL PLACE WHERE ALL OF THESE ARE HAPPENING? IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO UNDERSTAND, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, MY FELLOW DIRECTOR POINTS OUT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE DELTA AREA. IT'S JUST, HOW DO WE GET THE BIG PICTURE? I THINK, AND DANA CAN RESPOND, BUT I THINK BCDC IS BY FAR THE COORDINATING AGENCY, AND THIS RSAP PROCESS IS THE COORDINATING AGENCY. 
          FOR ANYONE INTERESTED, ANY CITIZEN OR ACTIVIST INTERESTED IN SEA LEVEL RISE PLANNING IN THE BAY SHOULD BE FOLLOWING THESE WORKSHOPS AND THE WORK OF THESE COMMUNITIES THROUGH BCDC. BUT DANA, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? YEAH, WE HAVE A MAILING LIST THAT WE CAN DROP THE LINK IN THE... CHAT OR SHARE WITH DEVIN ON HOW TO SIGN UP 
          [00:30:01]
FOR THE MAILING LIST. AND WE DO A REGULAR NEWSLETTER ON ACTIVITIES, ADAPTATION ACTIVITIES THAT ARE HAPPENING AROUND THE REGION. WE INTERNALLY HAVE A REALLY LARGE SPREADSHEET OF ALL THESE INITIATIVES HAPPENING ALL OVER THE REGION AND HOW WE CAN STAY INVOLVED IN THEM. SO IT'S NOT JUST YOU. IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT FOR US TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL THESE MOVING PARTS AT THE SAME TIME. 
          BUT WE ALSO TRY TO SHARE A LOT OF THIS INFORMATION ON THE BCDC WEBSITE, ON THE LOCAL PLANS PAGE. THAT HAS THE MOST UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION ON WHO'S INVOLVED IN THESE PLANS, WHEN THEY'RE INITIATING. WE POST A PUBLIC NOTICE EVERY TIME A NEW PLAN INITIATES, AND WE HAVE A SIGN-UP LINK ON THOSE NOTICES. THAT ALLOWS YOU TO SIGN UP FOR A SPECIFIC MAILING LIST FOR THAT PARTICULAR PLAN SO THAT YOU CAN BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE STATUS OF THAT PLAN CHANGES FROM THE BCC SIDE. YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE IS A LOT OF DISPARATE INFORMATION, AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE MAKING OURSELVES AVAILABLE AS RESOURCES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE REGIONAL SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLAN, THERE'S NOTHING THAT BEATS A HUMAN BEING TO ANSWER A QUESTION RATHER THAN TRYING TO GOOGLE INFORMATION ONLINE. 
          THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD IS, ACTUALLY, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ANSWERED THIS, BUT ONE, I MIGHT HAVE THE ACRONYM WRONG, YOU GUYS, IS IT OACC? THE REASON I LIKE THAT ONE SO MUCH, IT WAS A YOUTH. HIGH SCHOOL KIDS WERE THERE. I WENT TO SOME OF THEIR CHARRETTES, THEIR WORKSHOP, AND IT WAS ALL RUN AND MANNED, AND THE TABLES WERE BY LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL. YOU'RE NODDING YOUR HEAD, DANA, SO THAT ONE'S VERY ACTIVE ON YOUR LIST. FANTASTIC. I HAVE A QUESTION, TOO, ABOUT, BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, GETTING A GRANT FOR DOING CLIMATE ADAPTATION. 
          AND RECENTLY, AND I THINK I ENDED UP LEAVING EARLY THAT DAY, BUT THEY ALSO COLLABORATE ON THEIR LOCAL HAZARDOUS MITIGATION PLANS. AND THE REASON I BRING THOSE TWO TOGETHER, BECAUSE I'VE HEARD FROM EAST BAY MUD, WHO'S ALONG THE DELTA, AND THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLAN. 
          OUT THERE, THERE'S A GREAT POTENTIAL, EVEN WITH SOME OF OUR HISTORICAL TOXIC SITES ALONG THE SHORELINE, OF MOBILITY OF TOXICS WHEN SEA LEVELS BEGIN TO RISE. SO A TWO-PART QUESTION, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR, LIKE A 50-YEAR, 100-YEAR, 200-YEAR, AND HOW DOES THAT SEA LEVEL RISE, AND HOW? AND WHERE IS YOUR JURISDICTION, AND ARE YOU COORDINATING WITH THOSE SORT OF LOCAL HADRS, THAT'S A MOUTHFUL, LHMPS, WHERE THERE'S THIS POTENTIAL FOR MOBILIZING TOXICS. WE HAVE A LOT OF INDUSTRY ALONG OUR SHORELINES. AND WE STILL DO, I MEAN, WE'VE GOT OUR TREATMENT PLANTS AND THINGS RIGHT THERE ALONG THE DELTA. 
          YEAH, THOSE ARE EXCELLENT QUESTIONS. DEFINITELY ONES WE THOUGHT ABOUT A LOT WHEN WE WERE DEVELOPING THE REGIONAL SHORE AND ADAPTATION PLAN. THE TIMELINES THAT WE REQUIRE PEOPLE TO DEVELOP ADAPTATION STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS IS REALLY THROUGH 2100. SO WE REQUIRE FLOOD LEVELS BETWEEN 0.8 FEET AND 6.6 FEET. WE REQUIRE A LOT MORE SPECIFICITY FOR A 0.8 FOOT STRATEGY THAN... AT THE 6.6 FEET STRATEGY, IT'S REALLY JUST A NARRATIVE OF HOW YOU COULD ADJUST YOUR ADAPTATION STRATEGIES OVER TIME. AND THEN WE ALSO REQUIRE PEOPLE TO LOOK AT GROUNDWATER AND STORM SURGE AS WELL. SO THAT'S CONSISTENT ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. AND THAT'S ALL ASSOCIATED WITH VARIOUS PROJECTIONS FOR A 2100 TIMEFRAME. WE ACTUALLY MODELED THE SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLAN GUIDELINES AFTER THE LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN GUIDELINES BECAUSE THEY MADE SENSE. AND THERE'S A LOT OF OVERLAPPING ANALYSIS THAT YOU NEED TO DO TO UNDERSTAND YOUR PAST HAZARDS, CURRENT HAZARDS, AS WELL AS YOUR FUTURE HAZARDS. 
          SO, THOUGH S.B. 272 REQUIRED US TO ONLY ADDRESS REALLY SEA LEVEL RISE HAZARDS, WE DO ENCOURAGE THAT. THE ANALYSIS... FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT HAZARDS IS DONE TOGETHER. AND WE REQUIRE A LOT OF ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THE LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN. WE DO DISCUSS CONTAMINATED SITES IN THE SHORELINE ADAPTATION PLAN GUIDELINES AND REQUIRE THAT PEOPLE EVALUATE SITES THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE MOBILIZED, WHERE TOXICS COULD BE MOBILIZED. AND WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS AT DTSC AND THE WATER BOARD TO DEVELOP MORE GUT. SPECIFIC GUIDANCE ON HOW TO ADDRESS THOSE. THERE ISN'T CONSISTENT, GOOD GUIDANCE OUT THERE YET THAT WE ARE COMFORTABLE PROMOTING, BUT THAT'S SOMEWHERE THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO GET TO AND ADD THAT TO OUR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM OFFERINGS. EXCELLENT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME. DO WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? LET ME DOUBLE CHECK THERE'S NO PUBLIC COMMENT IN PERSON. AND 
          [00:35:02]
WE HAVE NO HANDS UP ON THAT. 
          OKAY. ANY OTHER WRAP-UP SUMMARY COMMENTS FROM THE COMMITTEE? SO I REMEMBERED MY OTHER QUESTION. SO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DUMBARTON BRIDGE, SO MIGHT SAY OTHER SIDE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THE FREMONT SIDE, AND THEN THERE'S THE EAST PALO ALTO SIDE. THERE WAS A PRETTY REMARKABLE PROJECT WITH THE MARSH RESTORATION. I THINK IT WAS THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AUTHORITY THAT HIGHLIGHTED IT, BUT IT WAS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MID-PENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT AND EAST PALO ALTO. AND I'M JUST CURIOUS, WITH BCDC, HOW YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT. 
          BECAUSE I SEE A LOT OF PARALLELS WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH HASPA AND SOME OF THE OTHER SHORELINE PROJECTS THAT EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT IS INVOLVED IN. YEAH, WE ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THAT PROJECT. 
          SABRINA AND I ARE ON THE PLANNING SIDE, BUT WE ALSO HAVE A PERMITTING SIDE. 
          SO ALL PROJECTS LIKE THAT NEED TO GO THROUGH OUR PERMITTING SIDE. 
          AND SO WE HAVE ANALYSTS THAT WORK VERY CLOSELY ON THE PERMITTING OF THAT PROJECT. WE ALSO ARE A MEMBER OF THE BAY RESTORATION REGULATORY INTEGRATION TEAM, THE BRIT, WHICH IS. IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE BAY RESTORATION AUTHORITY. SO WE HAVE A TEAM MEMBER WHO WORKS ON THAT MULTI-AGENCY PERMITTING TEAM TO HELP TO FACILITATE THE PERMITTING OF NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS. 
          LIKE THAT ONE. FASTER AND IN A MORE COORDINATED WAY. SO I'M HAPPY TO SHARE OUT ANYTHING THAT WE KNOW ABOUT THAT PROJECT. 
          BUT IT IS ONE THAT, AND SEVERAL OTHER HORIZONTAL LEVEE WETLAND RESTORATION PROJECTS ARE ONES THAT WE'RE PARTICULARLY EXCITED ABOUT. AND WANT TO ELEVATE AS MODELS FOR THE REST OF THE REGION. 
          YES, CONGRATULATIONS. IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO SEE. I'M JUST REALLY GLAD TO HAVE HAD THIS, AND I'M CURIOUS AND HOPEFUL THAT WE WILL HAVE YOU AT THE TABLE. WE ARE WRITING OUR DISTRICT PLAN. 
          I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH CITIES' MASTER PLANS, AND MANY OF THEM HAVE... THIS AS A SEPARATE STANDALONE CHAPTER, AS AN ISSUE, AND I HOPE YOU WILL USE AND SHARE BEST PRACTICES AND BE WITH US AS WE WRITE THAT AND FLUSH THAT OUT. YOU MENTIONED PARTNERING. 
          I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO MY MOBILIZING TOXICS. SOME OF OUR LANDS WE OWN ARE NOT NECESSARILY, THEY'VE BEEN REMOVED FROM GEOTRACKER OR ENVIROSTORE IN OUR LANDS, AND WE DO DO SOME OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE ON SOME OF OUR LANDS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY TOXIC. AND SO YOU HOW THAT'S ALL GOING TO GO, YOU MENTIONED THE 2100 YEAR MARK. I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED, AS A SCIENTIST, THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE. ENOUGH, QUITE FRANKLY, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, ESPECIALLY AS WE SEE THESE EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS. SO, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT THE SCIENTISTS, THE TEAM, ALL THE PARTNERS, YOU KNOW, WITH US, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD, I'LL BE CHECKING OUT YOUR WEBSITE, AND JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING YOU WITH US AS WE DEVELOP OUR DISTRICT PLAN THIS YEAR. COME UP WITH A DRAFT FOR THE PUBLIC TO REVIEW. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. OKAY. SO WE WILL MOVE ON TO 5B. AND, AGAIN, BRIAN, DO YOU WANT TO TEE THAT UP FOR US? YEAH, HAPPY TO. 
          AGAIN, BRIAN HOLT, ACTING ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER, ACQUISITION, STEWARDSHIP, AND PLANNING. SO WE HAVE A PRESENTATION ON HISTORIC PROPERTIES AT THE PARK DISTRICT, HISTORIC RESOURCE POLICIES, AND PARTNERING WITH. ARCHIVES TO PRESERVE LOCAL HISTORY. I THINK AS THE BOARD IS AWARE, AND THERE'S A RECENT REORGANIZATION, WE'RE HAPPY IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND WITHIN THE ASP DIVISION TO WELCOME BRENDA AND THE ARCHIVES GROUP INTO OUR GROUP. SO A LOT OF GOOD OPPORTUNITIES TO COLLABORATE, AND WE HAVE ANNA MARIE GUERRERO HERE, WHO'S OUR PRINCIPAL PLANNER OF CULTURAL RESOURCES. WE'LL BE TALKING ON THE TRIBAL RESOURCE SIDE, AS WELL AS HISTORIC RESOURCES. A BIT OF AN OVERVIEW ON HOW WE WORK WITH HISTORIC PROPERTIES AND OUR ARCHIVE SYSTEM HERE. ANNA MARIE, FEEL FREE. HI, I'M ANNA MARIE GUERRERO. I'M THE PRINCIPAL PLANNER FOR THE CULTURAL RESOURCES UNIT, AND I'M HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU ALL TODAY. 
          ABOUT HISTORIC PLACES IN THE PARK DISTRICT, HOW SUCH PLACES ARE LISTED, AND HOW WE MANAGE THEM. SO FIRST... THINGS FIRST. THERE ARE TWO REGISTERS I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT TODAY. THESE ARE LISTS OF IMPORTANT PLACES, THE CALIFORNIA REGISTER OF HISTORICAL RESOURCES AND THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. SO, OF COURSE. THE CALIFORNIA REGISTER IS A LIST OF IMPORTANT STATE RESOURCES, AND THE NATIONAL REGISTER IS THE PARALLEL LIST OF PROPERTIES THAT ARE IMPORTANT AT A NATIONAL OR A FEDERAL LEVEL. SO, WITHIN THE 
          [00:40:02]
126,000 ACRES OF THE PARK DISTRICT, SPANNING TWO COUNTIES, THERE ARE A TOTAL OF SEVEN PROPERTIES, SIX IN CONTRA COSTA AND ONE IN ALAMEDA COUNTY, THAT ARE ACTUALLY LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER. SO NOW YOU MIGHT THINK TO YOURSELF, THAT'S NOT A LOT OF PROPERTIES LISTED IN THE VAST EXPANSE OF THE PARK DISTRICT. 
          BUT WHAT I WANT TO POINT OUT IS THAT WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PROPERTIES THAT WE TREAT AND MANAGE AS IF THEY ARE LISTED WITHOUT BEING OFFICIALLY LISTED. SO, THIS PRESENTATION IS PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE OFFICIALLY LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER AND ALL OF THE DATA, THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE LISTED, THE NATIONAL REGISTER PROGRAM ITSELF, A LOT OF INFORMATION IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER WEBSITE, AND THAT'S. IT JUST HAS WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION TO PRESENT TO YOU IN THIS SHORT PRESENTATION TODAY. 
          BUT YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO CHECK IT OUT AND I PUT THE WEBSITE ON THE SLIDE FOR YOU. SO HOW DOES A PLACE OR PROPERTY ACTUALLY GET ONTO ONE OF THESE LISTS? SO, EITHER THE STATE OR THE FEDERAL REGISTER. SO THERE ARE CERTAIN CRITERIA THAT A PLACE OR A PROPERTY MUST MEET, AND THAT FIRST THRESHOLD IS AN AGE THRESHOLD. SO A PROPERTY MUST BE 45 TO 50 YEARS OLD. SO THE REASON WHY THAT THAT IS. THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED THESE LISTS THOUGHT THAT THAT TIME FRAME WAS JUST ABOUT THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF TIME AND SPACE. THAT WOULD PROVIDE FOR OBJECTIVITY WHEN DETERMINING IF A PLACE IS ACTUALLY SIGNIFICANT. SO, IN GENERAL, NOT ONLY DOES A PROPERTY HAVE TO BE OF A CERTAIN AGE, IT ALSO HAS TO MEET AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOUR CRITERIA THAT ARE LISTED HERE ON THIS SLIDE. SO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE, YOU KNOW, PRACTICE IN HOW CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGERS, LIKE, REMEMBER THE FOUR CRITERIA. SO WE CAN COME INTO MY WORLD FOR A SECOND. SO THE STATE REGISTER PARALLELS THE FEDERAL REGISTER. SO WE HAVE CRITERIA ONE OR A. SO WE ALWAYS SAY A STANDS FOR ASSOCIATION. IS THE PLACE OR PROPERTY ASSOCIATED WITH AN IMPORTANT PATTERN OR EVENT IN HISTORY? CRITERIA TWO OR B IS FOR BIG PEOPLE. IS THE PLACE OR PROPERTY ASSOCIATED WITH AN IMPORTANT PERSON IN OUR HISTORICAL PAST? THREE OR C IS, IS IT A CUTE BUILDING? OR IS IT A WORK OF, OR IS IT CRAFTSMANSHIP? IS IT A REALLY IMPORTANT BUILDING? SO THAT'S THREE. AND THEN WE ALWAYS JOKE, CRITERIA FOUR OR CRITERIA D IS THE ARCHAEOLOGIST'S FAVORITE, BECAUSE D IS FOR DATA. SO DOES THE PROPERTY CONTAIN DATA THAT WILL TELL US MORE ABOUT WHY IT'S IMPORTANT IN HISTORY? WILL IT GIVE US SOME ARTIFACTS THAT WILL SHOW US, LIKE, WHY THIS PLACE IS REALLY IMPORTANT, THAT WE CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PAST. AND, LASTLY, THE PROPERTY ALSO HAS TO RETAIN THE MAJORITY OF ITS HISTORICAL INTEGRITY. 
          AND THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE WANT THE PROPERTY TO REALLY BE ABLE TO CONVEY ITS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE. SO, IF A PROPERTY CAN MEET THE AGE THRESHOLD, IN ADDITION TO MEETING ONE OR MORE OF THOSE CRITERIA LISTED ABOVE, AND RETAIN MOST OF ITS HISTORICAL INTEGRITY, THEN IT MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE FOR LISTING ON ONE OF THOSE REGISTERS. SO, AS MENTIONED BEFORE, AT THE STATE LEVEL, WE HAVE THE CALIFORNIA REGISTER OF HISTORICAL RESOURCES. SO THIS ALSO INCLUDES HISTORICAL LANDMARKS AND POINTS OF HISTORICAL INTEREST. SO I'M NOT GOING TO READ OUT THE SPECIFICS OF HOW THESE ARE DESIGNATED. 
          THIS GUIDANCE IS ALSO PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ONLINE, BUT WHAT I WILL POINT OUT IS THAT. LANDMARKS AND POINTS OF HISTORICAL INTEREST, AS WELL AS THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER, ARE ALSO AUTOMATICALLY LISTED ON THE CALIFORNIA REGISTER. SO THAT BRINGS US TO THE PLACES IN THE PARK DISTRICT THAT ARE ACTUALLY LISTED ON THE CALIFORNIA REGISTER. SO WE CAN SEE HERE WE HAVE FOUR CALIFORNIA LANDMARKS AND ONE POINT OF HISTORICAL INTEREST. AND I WANT TO POINT OUT AGAIN THAT THE PROPERTIES THAT WE SAW BEFORE ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER SLIDE. 
          ARE ALSO A PART OF THIS. AND WE ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF RESOURCES THAT ARE NOT OFFICIALLY LISTED, BUT WE STILL MANAGE AS IF THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY'RE ELIGIBLE. 
          THEY'VE BEEN DETERMINED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR LISTING ON THE REGISTER. SO NOW THAT WE KNOW WHAT PROPERTIES ARE LISTED ON THESE IMPORTANT LISTS, I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW WE MANAGE THE LIST THEMSELVES. SO ONCE A PROPERTY IS LISTED, IT DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN IT'S LISTED IN PERPETUITY. THE LIST ITSELF IS ACTUALLY MANAGED AND MAINTAINED. SO, AS WE CAN SEE HERE, THE NATIONAL REGISTER INCLUDES A SECTION ON HOW A PROPERTY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST. THE PROPERTY COULD CEASE TO MEET THE CRITERIA, OR PERHAPS THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE ORIGINAL LISTING. 
          [00:45:04]
SIMILARLY, THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS ALSO PROVIDES WAYS A PROPERTY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST. FOR EXAMPLE, IF IT'S LOST ITS HISTORICAL INTEGRITY, OR IF NEW INFORMATION OR DOCUMENTATION CAN DEMONSTRATE ITS ORIGINAL LISTING WAS INCORRECT, IT SHOULD BE REMOVED, AND THE CALIFORNIA CODE ALLOWS FOR THAT. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN THESE LISTS BECAUSE THE LISTS ARE TO REALLY HIGHLIGHT THOSE PLACES THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT IN OUR HISTORY. 
          AND THERE ARE PROCESSES BY WHICH A PROPERTY MAY LOSE THOSE CHARACTERISTICS THAT ONCE MADE IT SIGNIFICANT. AND BY REMOVING A PROPERTY ON THE LIST, IT DOESN'T AT ALL MEAN THAT THE PROPERTY IS UNIMPORTANT OR IS LOST FOREVER. 
          THERE ARE MANY WAYS THAT WE CAN RETAIN OR HIGHLIGHT PERIODS IN HISTORY AND PERHAPS MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE THAN BY SIMPLY RETAINING THE PHYSICAL PROPERTY OR STRUCTURE. BUT THERE MIGHT BE TIMES WHEN WE WANT TO MAKE TIME IN FINANCIAL INVESTMENT. IN ENSURING THAT A HISTORIC PROPERTY RETAINS ITS HISTORICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND STAYS ON ONE OF THOSE LISTS. 
          TO DO THAT, WE USE WHAT WE CALL THE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR STANDARDS TO TREAT OR MANAGE THESE PROPERTIES. AND THE FOUR STANDARDS ARE PRESERVATION, REHABILITATION, RESTORATION, AND RECONSTRUCTION. SO EACH HAS A REALLY SPECIFIC DEFINITION AND WAYS TO IMPLEMENT IT. I'M NOT GOING TO BORE YOU WITH GOING INTO THE DETAILS. THIS IS ALSO AVAILABLE ONLINE, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF TECHNICAL BULLETINS DEDICATED TO HOW TO DO THIS. 
          BUT WHAT I AM GOING TO WALK THROUGH FOR YOU IS SOME EXAMPLES OF EACH OF THESE HERE AT THE PARK DISTRICT AND HOW WE'VE IMPLEMENTED EACH ONE OF THESE STANDARDS TO MAINTAIN OUR HISTORIC PROPERTIES. SO THE FIRST ONE, I THINK YOU ALL MIGHT BE FAMILIAR WITH, IS THE PATTERSON MANSION DOWN AT ARDENWOOD. SO THIS IS A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE OF PRESERVATION. WHERE WE'VE RETAINED THE PROPERTY TO HOW IT LOOKED SO THAT IT STILL CONVEYS ITS HISTORIC CHARACTERISTICS. 
          AND WE HAVE NOT CHANGED OR MODIFIED THE PROPERTY FROM ITS ORIGINAL PERIOD OF SIGNIFICANCE. SO WE STILL GET THAT SENSE OF HISTORY AT THIS PLACE. SO THERE ALSO MIGHT BE TIMES WHEN WE NEED TO ALTER A PROPERTY TO MAKE IT COMPATIBLE FOR HOW WE WANT TO USE IT TODAY. TO DO THAT, WE USE THE REHABILITATION STANDARD, WHICH FOCUSES ON RETAINING KEY CHARACTERISTICS OR FEATURES THAT WILL STILL CONVEY ENOUGH OF THE PROPERTY'S HISTORICITY. 
          SO, IN THIS EXAMPLE, STAFF WANTED TO PUT MODERN SCREENS ON THE ARDENWOOD BATHHOUSE, WHICH IS PART OF A HISTORICAL BUILDING DISTRICT DOWN AT ARDENWOOD. SO BUGS WOULDN'T GET IN IT WHEN IT WAS BEING RENTED OUT. NICE FOR THOSE WHO ARE RENTING IT. 
          SO, IN ORDER TO NOT MODIFY THE HISTORIC BUILDING, WE WORKED WITH STAFF AND ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIANS. TO COME UP WITH THIS REVERSIBLE WINDOW TREATMENT THAT WOULD NOT PERMANENTLY ALTER OR REMOVE THE HISTORICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS BUILDING. HERE WE HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF RESTORATION AT ALVARADO PARK, WHERE WE WORKED WITH STAFF AND CONSERVATORS TO REMOVE FEATURES FROM A MODERN PERIOD, THE GRAFFITI, TO RESTORE THE STRUCTURES BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS PAST WINTER AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH STAFF ON THIS RESTORATION PROJECT. 
          AND WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE A MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE HISTORIC ALVARADO PARK. AND, FINALLY, RECONSTRUCTION. SO HERE WE HAVE THE CREEK WALLS AT MYERS GARDEN, WHICH IS RECOMMENDED ELIGIBLE TO THE NATIONAL REGISTER. AND SO THAT'S HOW WE'RE TREATING IT. DUE TO THE EROSION FROM WET WINTER EVENTS OVER THE YEARS AND JUST AGE, PORTIONS OF THE WALL HAVE BEEN WASHED AWAY. SO WE HAVE WORKED WITH STONEMASONS WHO... 
          SPECIALIZE IN RECONSTRUCTING HISTORIC STRUCTURES TO DO THIS WORK. SO WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS THAT THE PERIOD THAT WE'RE RECONSTRUCTING THIS TO MATCHES THE TIME FRAME FOR WHICH THIS RESOURCE IS SIGNIFICANT. SO YOU CAN SEE HERE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPH, THERE ARE SOME PATCHES OF CONCRETE ON THE STONE WALL. THOSE PATCHES OCCURRED LATER IN TIME, AND WE UNDERSTAND THIS BASED ON THE CHANGE IN CONSTRUCTION METHOD. SO WHEN WE RECONSTRUCT WALLS OR STRUCTURES OR BUILDINGS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE RECONSTRUCTING IT BACK TO THE APPROPRIATE TIME PERIOD, AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID HERE. 
          SO, THE MISSION AND VISION OF THE PARK DISTRICT IS TO PRESERVE A WELL-MANAGED SYSTEM OF NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES. AND I WANT TO EMPHASIZE BOTH THE PRESERVATION AND MANAGEMENT PART OF OUR STATEMENT. SO MY PROFESSIONAL FIELD IS CULTURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT, AND MY JOB IS TO MANAGE THE CULTURAL RESOURCES. SO WHEN CULTURAL RESOURCES ARE EVALUATED TO THE REGISTERS THAT I TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, THEY'RE BEING EVALUATED ON THEIR OWN UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUAL 
          [00:50:02]
MERITS. AND THE MANAGEMENT OF RESOURCES IS AN INTENTIONAL INVESTMENT OF TIME AND MONEY. 
          SO, FOR EXAMPLE, I ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT THE GUERIN RED BARN, WHICH IS NOT ACTUALLY ELIGIBLE FOR THE LIST I TALKED ABOUT. 
          BUT BECAUSE WE VALUE THIS PLACE FOR ITS INTERPRETIVE VALUE, WE'VE ACTUALLY CHOSEN TO INVEST TIME AND MONEY INTO THIS PLACE, SO THAT WAY, IT RETAINS ITS HISTORICAL CHARACTERISTICS. AND THAT WAS A CHOICE THAT WE MADE. SO THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE ADMINISTERS THE NATIONAL REGISTER, AND THEY USE THE MOTTO, EVERY PLACE TELLS A STORY. AND SO, IN CLOSING, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT WHAT HISTORY OR PLACE WE'RE PRESERVING, WE'RE ACTIVELY CHOOSING WHAT STORY WE'RE TELLING ABOUT THE PARK DISTRICT, ABOUT WHO WE ARE, ABOUT... WHO OUR HISTORY IS. AND AS WE MOVE THROUGH TIME, OUR VALUES CHANGE, AND SO DO THE STORIES THAT WE TELL. AND ULTIMATELY, THAT CHANGES WHAT WE CHOOSE TO PRESERVE AND HOW WE CHOOSE TO MANAGE IT. SO THAT'S IT FOR ME. ANY QUESTIONS FOR RIGHT NOW, OR DO WE WANT TO MOVE TO BRENDA'S? BRENDA. 
          BRENDA MONTANO, OUR ARCHIVES SUPERVISOR, WILL BE PRESENTING THE ARCHIVES. GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR DECHAMBEAU AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS. I AM FOLLOWING ANNEMARIE GUERRERO ON OUR JOURNEY TOWARDS WORKING TOGETHER EVEN MORE UNDER THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND HOW THAT WILL LOOK LIKE. I'M GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT. AGAIN, MY NAME IS BRENDA MONTANO, ARCHIVES PROGRAM SUPERVISOR, AND CRYSTAL JIMENEZ. THE ARCHIVES ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST, IS ALSO HERE TODAY. 
          I JUST WANT TO COMMENT THAT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT HER. 
          I'M JUST SO GRATEFUL FOR ALL HER WORK THAT SHE DOES, AND I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO REALLY ENJOY THAT LATER THIS WEEK. AND I'M GOING TO DO, LIKE, A BRIEF, JUST REALLY BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE ARCHIVES DOES. I THINK BECAUSE OF THE OF NEW PEOPLE THAT COME IN, IT'S KIND OF GOOD TO KIND OF REVIEW. AND THEN FOLLOW UP WITH HOW WE WORK WITH CULTURAL RESOURCES. SO I KIND OF PUT OUR CATEGORY OF PRIORITIES IN THESE FOUR CATEGORIES. SO, HISTORIC RESOURCES MANAGEMENT, ORAL HISTORIES, HISTORY STORYTELLING, AND THAT INCLUDES RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND ENGAGEMENT, AND THEN COORDINATION WITH THE CULTURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT. 
          I'VE USED THIS BEFORE TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT WHAT THE ARCHIVES DOES. I'M DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL OF IT, BUT DEFINITELY JUST A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL OF WHAT WE'RE DOING IN SUPPORT OF EACH OF THESE PRIORITIES, AND THEN ALSO DEMONSTRATING THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF VESTED PARTNERS HERE AT THE PARK DISTRICT DEPARTMENTS THAT WE WORK WITH AND AS WELL AS WE HAVE OUR OWN PROGRAM, WHICH IS THE VOLUNTEERS PROGRAM. AND OF COURSE, OUR PRIORITIES ALWAYS WE HAVE TO BALANCE ACCESS AND PRESERVATION. AND THOSE KIND OF BATTLE EACH OTHER SOMETIMES. 
          AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT OUR ENGAGEMENT IS REALLY IMPORTANT. PUBLIC OUTREACH AND FOR ALSO OUR STAFF TO KNOW LIKE, WHAT OUR HISTORY IS. AND THEN THIS IS WHAT'S IN THE ARCHIVES, SUBJECT MATTERS, HOW WE BREAK IT DOWN IN OUR COLLECTIONS, GUIDELINES, AND THEN ALSO ALL OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN HISTORIC RECORDS, SO ALL THE DIFFERENT MATERIALS THAT WE HAVE. AND THEN JUST WANTED TO RE-EMPHASIZE THE DISTRICT-WIDE SUPPORT. WE DO OUR RESEARCH, WE WORK WITH THE PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS, BUT THEN ALSO ANY RANDOM REQUESTS OR HISTORIC RECORD REQUESTS. AND RESPOND TO STAFF REQUESTS ON HISTORY OF PARKS OR PARK FEATURES. AND WE ALSO HELP WITH INSTITUTIONAL BACKGROUND ON POLICY MAKING OR PROCESSES. 
          DIGITIZATION, PROVIDING ELECTRIC COPIES 
          [00:55:02]
OF HISTORICAL MATERIALS, SUCH AS MAPS WITH OUR OVERSIZED SCANNER. 
          THERE'S A PICTURE OF THAT HERE. ACTUALLY, THAT'S ONE OF A LIGHT DUTY STAFF THAT CAME AND HELPED AT THE ARCHIVES LAST YEAR. ONE THING THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IS REALLY STANDARDIZING OUR PROCEDURES LIKE DIGITIZATION. 
          THAT MEANS THEN I CAN BRING THAT TO LIGHT. DUTY STAFF OR VOLUNTEERS TO BE TRAINED TO DO THESE DIGITIZATION WORK FOR US. AND YOU'LL SEE ANOTHER PICTURE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS DIGITIZING THE BOARD MATERIAL FROM THE 1930S AND 1940S THAT WE RECENTLY ARE STARTING TO DIGITIZE. WE HELP WITH RECORDS MANAGEMENT, HELPING ADMINISTRATIVE OR FIELD OFFICES WITH OLD RECORDS. I KIND OF PUT THEY'RE A FUN PICTURE OF SOME RED BOOKS, JUST FOR FUN, BECAUSE WE DON'T ALWAYS COLLECT RED BOOKS, BUT WE DO HELP WITH STAFF ON CULLING SOME OF THIS INFORMATION FOR THEM AND TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT'S HISTORIC OR IMPORTANT FOR THEM. EITHER TO KEEP OR FOR US TO KEEP. AND THEN, OF COURSE, IDENTIFICATION, WHICH I HEAVILY RELY ON SOME KNOWLEDGEABLE VOLUNTEERS, RETIREES. AS WELL AS HISTORIANS THAT HAVE COME INTO THE ARCHIVES TO HELP. AND THEY ARE JUST INVALUABLE IN IDENTIFYING ITEMS. AND THEN ALSO, TOO, WE PARTNER WITH INR AND WITH EXTERNAL AFFAIRS AND OTHER GROUPS TO BRING OUT INFORMATION ABOUT THE ARCHIVES, DOING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. 
          THERE'S A PICTURE OF ME AND CRYSTAL DRESSED UP IN PERIOD. 
          COSTUMES, WHICH WE FOUND REALLY ATTRACTS EVEN MORE PEOPLE TO OUR HISTORIC DISPLAYS. 
          BUT WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE, WE'RE ALSO PARTICIPATING IN THE BLACK HISTORY AND HERITAGE EVENT AND PROVIDING INFORMATION FOR THAT, AS WELL AS THE BROCHURE, WHICH WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT. AND THEN AS FAR AS WE'RE REALLY, WE REALLY KNOW THAT WITH ARCHIVES, THE OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT FOR US IS, YOU KNOW, LIKE TWOFOLD. ONE IS TO BRING OUT LIKE WHAT THE DISTRICT DOES, AND ALSO SHARE THAT WITH YOUNG PEOPLE, STUDENTS, AND THEN ALSO PROVIDE SOME VALUE TO. PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY TO COME AND VOLUNTEER TO WHAT THEY DO. AND SO THEY FEEL INVESTED IN THE WORK THAT WE DO. AND AS WELL AS IN THE PARK DISTRICT. 
          AND THEN WE ALSO WORK WITH RESEARCHERS AND DESCENDANTS, AND THERE'S A PICTURE OF SOME OF THE BOOKS THAT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED USING OUR ARCHIVES. 
          AND SO WE. IT'S KIND OF A CROSS-BENEFIT TOO, BECAUSE THEY GIVE US THESE BEAUTIFUL THINGS FOR US TO HAVE AS RESOURCES AS WELL, SO IT HELPS US PUT THINGS TOGETHER AS THEY'RE DOING THE RESEARCH. AND THEN WE ALSO SUPPORT DESCENDANTS COMMUNITIES, AND I EMPHASIZE BLACK DIAMOND MINES, BUT IT'S NOT LIMITED TO BLACK DIAMOND MINES, WHERE WE HAVE DESCENDANTS INTERESTED IN GENEALOGICAL INFORMATION AND ORAL HISTORIES ABOUT THEIR FAMILIES THAT LIVED IN THE FORMER MINING TOWNS. 
          AND THEN BACK TO EXHIBITS AND PRESENTATIONS. 
          WE ARE WORKING ON A FIRE EXHIBIT LAST YEAR, AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH REITERATIONS OF THAT AND COLLABORATING ACROSS DEPARTMENTS. AND IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING INTEGRATED INTO THE EXHIBITS THAT ARE GOING TO BE PLANNED FOR THE ALAMEDA COUNTY AND CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FAIRS. AND THEN I'M HOPING FOR THE ARCHIVES TO SUPPORT SOMETHING FOR YOU. 
          FOR THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 1991 FIRESTORM IN OAKLAND, WHICH IS LATER THIS YEAR. AND CRYSTAL AND I BOTH PARTICIPATE IN OUTREACH OF EITHER ATTENDING CLASSES AND TALKING ABOUT CAREERS AT THE PARK DISTRICT, BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S THESE OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL. 
          AND WE ALSO DO THAT INTERNALLY WITH PROGRAMS LIKE THE TEEN ECHO. ACTION WEEK. WE WERE DOING THAT. OKAY, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE OUR ONLINE PRESENCE, I KNOW THAT THAT'S KIND OF LIKE OUR WAY OF GETTING INFORMATION OUT THERE. WITHOUT HAVING TO WORK ON IN-PERSON EXHIBITS 
          [01:00:02]
OR LARGER PROJECTS. AND I JUST WANTED TO DO OUR RECENT HIGHLIGHTS, WHICH ARE THE LOS CHARROS AT CONTRALOMA ONLINE EXHIBIT, WHICH? CRYSTAL AND I WILL BE HOSTING A SESSION AT THE SOCIETY OF CALIFORNIA ARCHIVISTS IN APRIL ON HOW WE PUT THE EXHIBIT TOGETHER AND WHAT IT CAN MEAN TO PRESERVE THE MEMORY OF OUR LANDSCAPES AND FINDING CONNECTION IN THE COMMUNITIES NEARBY. 
          AND, OF COURSE, THE HISTORY TIMELINES, INCLUDING THE EQUESTRIANS IN THE PARKS HISTORY THAT WE DID LAST YEAR. AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE ONLINE WEB PORTAL THAT GETS UPDATED REGULARLY. WITH COMPLETED TRANSCRIPTS AS WE'RE ABLE TO GET TO THEM. OKAY, SO THIS IS JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF HOW WE'VE WORKED WITH CULTURAL RESOURCES AND ANNA MARIE. SO THE FIRST EXAMPLE IS THE ALVARADO PARK, WHICH SHE HAD MENTIONED, AT WELLCAT CANYON. THIS ONE, WE ASSISTED THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIANS AND PARK STAFF ON THE RESEARCH OF THE STRUCTURES AND PARK OPERATIONS SINCE WE'VE HAD THE PARK. WE HAVE COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL RECORDS FROM THE NATIONAL REGISTER APPLICATION THAT WAS DONE IN 1989 AND SOME OF THE BACKGROUND MATERIAL THAT WENT INTO THE REPORT. WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO SHARE A SERIES OF ORAL HISTORIES THAT WERE DONE IN THE EARLY 2000S. 
          OF SOME OF THE RESIDENTS WHO HAD CONNECTIONS WHEN IT WAS OPERATING AS A PARK IN THE 1930S, SUCH AS MARY COSCO SCHAEFER, WHOSE ITALIAN IMMIGRANT FATHER WAS ONE OF THE CRAFTSMEN FOR THE WPA. 
          AND WORKED ON BUILDING THE NEW ICONIC PARK FEATURES OF ALVARADO, OR NOW ICONIC PARK FEATURES OF ALVARADO. AND THEN WE ALSO... 
          SUPPORTED THE INITIAL RESEARCH FOR ANNAMARIE AND THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIANS, AND LATER WORKED WITH BECOMING THE REPOSITORY FOR THE COLLECTION OF PHOTO DOCUMENTATION PERTAINING TO THE WORK THAT WAS DONE TO REMOVE PARTS OF THE FERRY POINT PIER AT MILLER KNOX. WE ALSO WORKED ON DIGITIZING SOME VERY HIGH-RESOLUTION NEGATIVES THAT DOCUMENTED THE PIER BEFORE THE WORK WAS DONE. WE ALSO ASSISTED WITH THE PRINTING AND SUBMITTAL OF THE HARE REPORT TO THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AND SOON TO THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. 
          AND THEN AT THE ROBERTS POOL AT ROBERTS REGIONAL RECREATION AREA, WE ALSO CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON OUR PHOTOGRAPHS AND DOCUMENTS AND MAPS RELATED TO THE HISTORY OF THE ROBERTS POOL PRIOR TO RENOVATION TO PROVIDE TO ANNA MARIE AND ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIANS. AND I JUST WANTED TO NOTE PAUL MILLER, WHO'S IN THIS SLIDE HERE. BOTH AS WHEN HE WAS THE PARK SUPERVISOR AT ROBERTS, AND NOW. HE'S BEEN A LONGTIME VOLUNTEER AT THE ARCHIVES, AND RECOGNIZING HIS INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE WAS REALLY HELPFUL FOR THIS PROJECT, AND HE CURRENTLY OVERSEES THE RECORDS FOR REINHARDT, REDWOOD, AND ROBERTS AT THE ARCHIVES. AND THEN, LASTLY, THE BURRELL PROPERTY. THIS ONE HAS A LOT OF STUFF. AND SO THAT'S WHY I PUT HOUSING AND REHOUSING, BECAUSE WE'RE THINKING ABOUT HOW WE'RE STORING THE RECORDS THAT WE ARE KEEPING RIGHT NOW, AND THEN ALSO MANAGING THOSE INVENTORIES. SO THAT WHEN WE'RE READY TO REALLY LOOK AT THOSE RECORDS AND WHAT WE MIGHT BE DECIDING TO KEEP OR NOT KEEP, THAT WE KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S CONSTANTLY TRYING TO KEEP AN EYE ON THESE. I THINK WE DID A REALLY GOOD JOB OF PUTTING THESE BINS TOGETHER AND MAKING THEM SAFE FROM WHERE THEY WERE ORIGINALLY STORED, WHICH WAS ON THE PORCH. AND THEN WE'RE CONTINUING TO CONDUCT ORAL HISTORIES. AND THIS PAST YEAR, WE INTERVIEWED WILLIAM FERREIRA. THERE'S A PHOTO OF HIM THERE WITH PLANNER KIM TAI. HE WAS FRIENDS WITH ARMAND, AND WE HAVE A PHOTO OF HIM WITH ARMAND BURRELL AS WELL THERE. AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO WALK WITH HIM ON THE PROPERTY, SO THAT WAS A REALLY GREAT EXPERIENCE, AND VIDEO AT ALL. 
          AND THEN WE CONTINUED TO MANAGE AND DIGITIZE THE HISTORIC PHOTOS AND RECORDS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY COLLECTED, AND THESE RECORDS ARE STORED 
          [01:05:01]
AT THE TRUDEAU ARCHIVES. AND THEN FINDING WAYS TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC WITH THE RECORDS THAT WE DO HAVE, AND THAT MEANS DISPLAYING SOME OF THE HISTORIC MATERIAL THAT WE HAVE. AND WE'VE BEEN ATTENDING COMMUNITY EVENTS OR COMMUNITY MEETINGS, AND THIS IS A WAY TO JUST KIND OF ENCOURAGE INPUT AND INSPIRE PUBLIC INPUT ON THE PROJECT. 
          AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU BRENDA, ANNA, MARIE, AND I JUST WANTED TO MENTION REAL QUICK, NAOMI. LAVAL, WHO'S OUR PLANNING MANAGER, SEES BOTH THE CULTURAL RESOURCES AND NOW THE ARCHIVES PROGRAM, AS WELL AS THE SEA LEVEL RISE WORK THAT DEVIN PRESENTED. NAOMI WAS GOING TO BE HERE TODAY TO KIND OF INTRODUCE ALL OF THIS STUFF. SHE HAD A PRETTY HARROWING WEEK OF TRAVEL AND FAMILY SICKNESS, SO SHE WASN'T ABLE TO BE HERE. 
          BUT SHE'S KIND OF OUR MAIN POINT OF CONTACT ON A LOT OF THIS, SO I REALLY APPRECIATE HER BRINGING A LOT OF PEOPLE TOGETHER. THANK YOU. 
          GREAT. YEAH, THANK YOU, ANNA MARIE, BRENDA, CRYSTAL, FOR PRESERVING OUR HISTORY AS 90 YEARS OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION. 
          THERE'S A LOT OUT THERE. 
          FIRST, DO WE HAVE ANY CLARIFYING QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS? I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT, SIMILAR TO THE LAST ONE, THERE'S SO MUCH HERE. IS THERE SOME SORT OF CENTRAL DATABASE, CHECKLIST, SCORE? I MEAN, YOU STARTED RUNNING THROUGH THESE IN ALVARADO AND GUERIN AND PATTERSON, AND I LOST, LIKE, WHICH ONE WAS CALIFORNIA AND HISTORIC, AND WHICH ONES ARE THE AS-IFS. 
          IS THERE SOME CENTRAL PLACE? I TURNED IT OFF INSTEAD OF ON. 
          YEAH, SO... THEY'RE WELCOME TO ALSO THE FRUSTRATION OF BEING A CULTURAL RESOURCES MANAGER, BECAUSE THEY'RE. 
          WHENEVER I DO RESEARCH, I LOOK AT THE NATIONAL REGISTER LIST, WHICH IS AVAILABLE ONLINE, THEN I GO TO THE CALIFORNIA REPOSITORY, AND THEN I ALSO LOOK AT THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT RESOURCE DIRECTORY. SO THERE'S A LOT MORE PAPERWORK IN ARCHAEOLOGY THAN YOU WOULD THINK. SO. 
          IN ADDITION TO THOSE LISTS, WE ALSO HAVE THE NORTHWEST INFORMATION CENTER, WHICH IS THE STATE'S REPOSITORY FOR BASICALLY ALL OF THE CULTURAL RESOURCES. 
          REPORTS THAT ACTUALLY GET TURNED INTO THIS REPOSITORY. 
          AND SO WE HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION FROM THEM, AND IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT SUBSCRIPTION THAT WE HAVE, BECAUSE WHENEVER WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY OR A PROJECT, WE HAVE THE SUBSCRIPTION. I'M ABLE TO BRING IT UP ON MY COMPUTER, AND I LOOK AT IT, AND I CAN GIVE ALMOST IMMEDIATE GUIDANCE. A LOT OF THE INFORMATION IN THAT DATABASE IS CONFIDENTIAL, JUST BECAUSE IT HAS ARCHAEOLOGY SITES AND EVERYTHING. AND WE REALLY SAFE KEEP THOSE, ESPECIALLY THE NATIVE AMERICAN SITES BECAUSE WE WORK REALLY CLOSELY WITH OUR TRIBES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STEWARDING THOSE NATIVE AMERICAN SITES WITH ENGAGEMENT FROM THE TRIBES. SO, YES, THERE'S A LOT OF DATABASES WE CAN PROVIDE. 
          THE LIST. THAT WAS IN MY PRESENTATION ABOUT WHAT'S ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER AND CALIFORNIA REGISTER, AND WHERE IT IS. AND WE CAN GIVE THAT TO YOU. 
          YEAH, I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL. I THINK THE TREAT AS IF IS KIND OF THE GRAY AREA THAT INTERESTS ME. I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF INTEREST RIGHT NOW ON LAKE TEMESCAL AND THE HISTORY AND THE PHOTOS THAT HAVE BEEN POPPING UP EVEN THIS WEEK ON THAT. YOU SAID YOU KIND OF DID A DEEP DIVE ON ROBERTS, BUT I IMAGINE THERE'S NO END TO WHERE YOU COULD DO A DEEP DIVE. 
          OPPORTUNITIES? AND I'VE BEEN ASKED MYSELF, I JUST WANT TO KNOW, LIKE, HOW DO NEW BUILDINGS GET YOUR ATTENTION? LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE CIP, WE KIND OF HAVE A SCORE OF SORTS, LIKE WE LIST THEM ALL AND WE CAN KIND OF GRADE AND KNOW WHICH ONES. 
          BUT CLEARLY I'VE HAD A LOT OF INTEREST AND WE'LL TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT IN A MINUTE. BUT ONE OF THEM, IN PARTICULAR, WAS PIEDMONT STABLES THAT THE OAKLAND HERITAGE ASSOCIATION GAVE US AN AWARD FOR. YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW SOME, I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE, HOW DOES SOMETHING GET ADDED? LIKE, HOW DO WE INSTITUTIONALIZE IN THE LIST AND THEN HOW DOES SOMETHING GET ADDED? SO WE DO HAVE, LIKE THOSE OFFICIAL LISTS I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND THOSE OFFICIAL THRESHOLDS. AND SOMETIMES WHEN WE HAVE PROJECTS, WHETHER THEY'RE LIKE REGULATORY PROJECTS OR NON-REGULATORY PROJECTS, WE REALLY TRY TO MANAGE THEM. 
          SO THAT WE'RE MAINTAINING THE INTEGRITY OF THE RESOURCE TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY. 
          AND SO... THE NEXT STEP TO GETTING SOMETHING OFFICIALLY LISTED OFTEN, SO I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO TOO MANY DETAILS BECAUSE I GET REALLY EXCITED ABOUT REGULATORY STUFF SOMETIMES. BUT THE NICE THING ABOUT TREATING SOMETHING AS 
          [01:10:01]
ELIGIBLE IS THAT. WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE PAPERWORK AND A LOT OF THE TIME AND MONEY TO GET IT LISTED ONTO ONE OF THESE REGISTERS. SO IT'S ACTUALLY IN A WAY LIKE, MORE EFFICIENT. 
          TO JUST TREAT SOMETHING IN THE SAME WAY IF IT WERE LISTED, JUST NOT DOING ALL THE PAPERWORK TO GET IT LISTED, SO IF THAT'S HELPFUL, AND OF COURSE, THERE'S NOTHING SAYING THAT. 
          LIKE, WE CAN'T GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GETTING SOMETHING OFFICIALLY LISTED, BUT THEN WHAT WE ALSO NEED IS THE BUDGET AND TIME TO GO THROUGH THAT WHOLE EXERCISE OF GETTING SOMETHING LISTED. 
          AND THEN CULTURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IS REALLY ROOTED IN, LIKE LAND OWNERSHIP, AND THAT REALLY HELPS SHAPE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN THE REGULATORY GUIDANCE AND LAND OWNERSHIP. THAT REALLY HELPS TO GUIDE, LIKE HOW WE, YOU KNOW, ARE SOMETIMES LEGALLY REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN A PROPERTY. 
          BUT WE'RE ALWAYS REALLY LOOKING AT WHAT IS BEST FOR THE PROPERTY AND ALSO LIKE, WHAT'S BEST WITHIN THE REALM OF THE PARK DISTRICT. AND HOW WE'RE MANAGING OUR MANY, MANY RESOURCES. I'LL JUST MENTION, YOU KNOW, THE CULTURAL RESOURCE POSITION, THE DEDICATED CULTURAL RESOURCE POSITION, IS RELATIVELY NEW. 
          IT'S ONLY BEEN AROUND WITH THE PARK DISTRICT SINCE, LIKE 2013, 2014 OR SO. AND ANNA MARIE HAS BEEN WITH US, WHAT, FIVE YEARS NOW? YEAH. 
          AND SHE'S DONE A REALLY GREAT JOB OF TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR DECO PROJECTS OR MASS PROJECTS, THAT THERE'S A CHECK IN WITH CULTURAL RESOURCES. SO EVERYTHING KIND OF GETS ROUTED THROUGH ANNA MARIE. WHICH FORTUNATELY, SHE'S JUST BEEN ABLE TO HIRE SOME NEW STAFF, SO SHE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF HELP THERE, BUT THAT SHE CAN GO THROUGH AND CHECK TO SEE, LIKE, OKAY, IS THIS, BECAUSE THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF RESOURCES THAT, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT NOT KNOW IF IT'S TECHNICALLY HISTORIC OR NOT, AND THAT'S WHERE ANNA MARIE JUMPS IN AND DOES THE HISTORIC RESOURCE STUDIES, SAYING, WHEN WE ACQUIRE A NEW PROPERTY. SO SHE'S DONE A REALLY GREAT JOB OF TRYING TO CORRAL EVERYBODY. 
          TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CHECKING THAT BOX AND THAT WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE ON THE CULTURAL RESOURCE SIDE. 
          THAT MAKES SOME SENSE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND, YEAH, I REMEMBER WHEN YOU CAME ON BOARD, I WAS ON THE PAC, AND IT'S A NICE ADDITION. SO JUST HOW DO WE INSTITUTIONALIZE THIS LEGACY THAT YOU'RE BUILDING IN OUR POLICIES GOING FORWARD? SO ANYWAY, JUST ARE THERE, I GUESS THERE WERE NO OTHER QUESTIONS. DO WE HAVE COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC, PLEASE? YES, WE DO. MILLIE MARSHALL. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS AMELIA MARSHALL. SPEAKING AS A BOARD MEMBER OF THE OAKLAND HERITAGE ALLIANCE AND A MEMBER OF THE ALAMEDA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY, I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THE PARK DISTRICT POLICY, AS IT'S CURRENTLY CONSTITUTED, IS INSUFFICIENTLY PROTECTIVE. 
          OF BELOVED HISTORIC RESOURCES AND SITES. IF I UNDERSTAND IT CORRECTLY, THE CURRENT POLICY IS THAT IT'S OKAY FOR THE DISTRICT TO DEMOLISH ANY STRUCTURE IT CHOOSES TO, UNLESS THAT STRUCTURE IS ON THE NATIONAL OR STATE REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. IT'S A VERY HIGH BAR TO GET A STRUCTURE LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER. IF YOU'VE SEEN WHAT WAS DONE TO GET ALVARADO PARK LISTED, VOLUMINOUS REPORT AND LOTS AND LOTS OF STAFF TIME, SO IT'S MUCH EASIER TO JUST DESTROY A BUNCH OF STUFF INSTEAD OF KEEPING IT AND TAKING CARE OF IT. BECAUSE OLDER PARK DISTRICT POLICIES AVOIDED TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR HISTORIC HOUSES, EUGENE O'NEILL DOW HOUSES NEXT TO LAS TRAMPAS, WITHIN LAS TRAMPAS, BUT IT'S MANAGED BY THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE. 
          PATTERSON HOUSE IS MANAGED BY THE CITY OF FREMONT. IT'S GREAT THAT UKRAINE, THE HANSHARENKO HOUSE, IS BEING WELL TAKEN CARE OF, EVEN THOUGH IT'S APPARENTLY NOT ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER, ON THE STATE REGISTER. 
          BUT WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ESTABLISH A BETTER POLICY FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION. AS A TOP-DOWN APPROACH, THE FIRST STEP WOULD BE TO REVISE A POLICY ON WHAT CONSTITUTES AN INTERNAL LANDMARK. INVENTORY, THE STRUCTURES AND SITES THAT ARE WITHIN THE PARK DISTRICT, AND LOOK VERY CAREFULLY, THERE'S SOME PRELIMINARY WORK THAT WAS DONE IN THE PAST. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE WANTON DESTRUCTION OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT ALONG REDWOOD ROAD, OF WHICH PIEDMONT STABLES AND THE 
          [01:15:01]
ALBINESA HOUSE ARE ALL THAT REMAIN. I'M CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE JACKHAMMERED OUT PART OF THE FOUNDATION OF THE POINT PINOLE EXPLOSIVES. 
          FACTORY AREA. APPARENTLY, THE PARK STAFF ARE CLUELESS THAT THERE WAS HISTORIC VALUE. AND NOBODY PICKED UP THE PHONE TO ASK DAVE ZUCKERMAN, WHO IS AN EXPERT ON THAT SUBJECT. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE CHOUINARD WINERY IN CASTRO VALLEY, WHICH SURELY DESERVES TO BE PRESERVED AND ADAPTIVELY REUSED AS A CONCESSION. AND THERE'S QUESTION ABOUT VARIOUS OLD BARNS, INCLUDING THE ONE IN DOOLIN CANYON. I'D LOVE TO SEE MORE TRANSPARENCY. 
          TRANSPARENCY AROUND WHAT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT INTENDS TO DO AS FAR AS DESTROYING THINGS. 
          AND MAYBE EVEN HAVE A WEB PAGE WHERE YOU COULD SEE WHAT ARE THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE THAT ARE SLATED FOR DEMOLITION. AND ALLOW THE PUBLIC SOME INPUT ON THAT. SO THANK YOU, VERY MUCH, THANK YOU. THERE IS NO MORE PUBLIC COMMENT. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM BOARD MEMBERS? I REALLY ENJOYED YOUR PHRASE, PRESERVING THE MEMORIES OF OUR LANDSCAPES. THAT REALLY STRUCK ME. I JUST REALLY ENJOY IT. AND MY MIND IS CURRENTLY BOGGLED BY THE TASKS AHEAD. I MEAN, THURGOOD, MARSHALL, POINT SAN PABLO PENINSULA, POINT MALATI, WINEHAVEN, YOU KNOW, IT'S A TREMENDOUS HISTORY OUT THERE. AND THEN THERE ARE THESE LITTLE HISTORIES THAT I KNOW YOU'RE WORKING ON, LIKE THE PORT COSTA BRICKYARD. AND I'M THINKING, HOPEFULLY, RODEO. I THINK I'VE SHARED SOME HISTORIC MATERIALS THAT THE PUBLIC'S BEEN SENDING ME. ANYWAY, I JUST REALLY WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR WORK. THE DISPLAY AT THE AIRPORT WAS BRILLIANT AND VERY POPULAR. I JUST CAN'T SAY ENOUGH. THANK YOU. YEAH, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT, COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF EVERYTHING THAT THE GROUPS ARE DOING. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS INFORMATION TOGETHER AND, YOU KNOW, KIND OF GIVING US SOME DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES OF REALLY THE TALL TASK WE HAVE AHEAD. WITH A LOT OF PROPERTIES WHERE THERE ARE SOME, YOU KNOW, THERE'S INTEREST IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION. AND I APPRECIATE AMELIA MARSHALL JOINING US TODAY AND SHARING SOME OF HER PERSPECTIVES. AND I DO THINK IT DOES GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF AN ACTION ITEM TO THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT COMES NEXT, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE TREASURED, HISTORIC, I GUESS, STRUCTURES AND PLACES THAT MAYBE AREN'T ON THE STATE OR NATIONAL REGISTER, BUT ARE STILL VERY SIGNIFICANT TO US LOCALLY. I THINK WE DO HAVE A DUTY TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE MIGHT BUILD SOME SORT OF CRITERIA. AND ALSO MAKE SURE TO, YOU KNOW, KEEP SOMETHING, KEEP SOME SORT OF DATABASE OR SOMETHING AVAILABLE FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO BE AWARE SO THAT WE CAN RECEIVE THAT FEEDBACK. BECAUSE WHEN SOMETHING IS GONE, THEN IT'S GONE. AND IT'S REALLY, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S REALLY UP TO US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PROVIDE ALL THE INFORMATION CLEARLY. HAVE THAT CRITERIA TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE BEST THING TO DO IS. AND I EVEN THINK ABOUT THE FOOTHILL FARMS BUILDING AT TYLER RANCH. AND FORGIVE ME, I MAY NOT BE AS WELL-VERSED ON THE HISTORY OF THAT BUILDING, BUT I GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. WHAT'S THE PARK DISTRICT GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT? OH, IT LOOKS LIKE SUCH A LOVELY BARN, AND PEOPLE WANT ANSWERS ABOUT IT. AND I JUST USE THAT AS AN EXAMPLE. I THINK IT'S ONE THAT I HAVEN'T HEARD AS MUCH AS I HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE THANKS. CHOUINARD WINERY IN TERMS OF SIGNIFICANCE, BUT YET IT'S STILL A QUESTION THAT I KNOW I'VE RECEIVED, AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF CRITERIA WHERE WE COULD COMPARE AND CONTRAST BETWEEN SOME OF THESE DIFFERENT SITES THAT PEOPLE SEE WHEN THEY COME TO OUR PARKS. 
          AND I SEE WE MIGHT BE GETTING OUR ACTING GENERAL MANAGER TO HELP SHARE A COMMENT. THANK YOU, DIRECTORS, ACTING GENERAL MANAGER, MAX CORTON. I'D JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, FOR OUR TEAM. 
          AND THE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE REALLY VALUE TRANSPARENCY, AND WE REALLY VALUE THESE CULTURAL RESOURCES AND THE REALLY APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION TODAY. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'D LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOUR BOARD TO CONTINUE THIS WORK. AND JUST THINK ABOUT HOW WE CAN BE AS STRATEGIC AS POSSIBLE AND AS TRANSPARENT AND OPEN WITH THE COMMUNITY AS WE WORK TOWARDS PLANS. AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE. AS WE CONSIDER IDEAS AND OPTIONS FOR YOUR BOARD, THAT WE'RE BRINGING YOU MANY INFORMED OPTIONS AND OPEN WAYS THAT YOU CAN GIVE US A STAFF 
          [01:20:03]
DIRECTION. THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT COMMENT. 
          SO, YES, I THINK IF I HAD ONE CLOSING COMMENT, I REALLY HOPE THAT. 
          WE'LL ALL STILL CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER ON THIS, AND I BELIEVE WE ARE BY HAVING THIS AS PART OF OUR AGENDA TODAY. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD AS AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM. IF I COULD ADD, IN MY EXPERIENCE, NOW, GOING ON NINE YEARS AND THE PRIOR HISTORY WITH THE PAC, I'M. I'VE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE FACT THAT THE DISTRICT IS VERY SENSITIVE ABOUT WHAT IT'S PLANNING TO DESTRUCT. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS WHEN I GOT ON THE BOARD, BRIAN WENT OVER THE HISTORIC PLANNING THAT HAD BEEN DONE THROUGH, I THINK, CONSULTANTS THAT ARE EXPERTS IN THIS STUFF. THAT'S TO THE ARATA RANCH, THE HISTORIC ARATA DAIRY FARM. AND WE... 
          PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO WHICH BUILDINGS THERE SHOULD BE PRESERVED. AS A RESULT, WE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO PRESERVING THE BARN, AND THERE ARE BUILDINGS THERE THAT, ACCORDING TO THE EXPERTS, HAD REALLY NO SIGNIFICANCE, AND WE DON'T HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF EFFORT OR TIME WITH THEM, BUT A LOT OF EFFORT IS PUT INTO THAT. AND I WANT TO SHOUT OUT TO MAX FOR TRANSITIONING THE WELL-KNOWN FLAG BARN OUT AT VASCO HILLS. THE FLAG BARN WAS FALLING APART AND BECAUSE OF THE HCP STATUS OF THAT LAND, WE COULDN'T REPAIR THAT BARN. 
          AND SO THE ALTERNATIVE WAS TO LET IT GO. INSTEAD, MAX WORKED WITH THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD TO CAREFULLY TAKE IT APART AND PRESERVE IT AND THE FLAG PAINTED ON THE SIDE. AND THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD IS GOING TO RECONSTRUCT IT IN SOME SPECIAL SITE IN THE TOWN. AND WE GOT SOME GRIEF BECAUSE PEOPLE SAW US TAKING IT DOWN, BUT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO WERE LOOKING AT THAT SAID, HEY, YOU DID A GOOD JOB IN PRESERVING THAT BARN AND NOT JUST LETTING IT FALL APART, AND MAX PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO THAT. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT AGAIN. I'M DONE. 
          GREAT. JUST A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS. I THINK THIS WAS MAYBE A PRIORITY FOR AT LEAST SOME OF THE BOARD MEMBERS TO DEVELOP A HISTORIC PRESERVATION POLICY. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A, YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T A GROUP LIST, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE FLUSHED OUT IN A MORE FORMAL MATTER. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS, TOO, IS I ALWAYS SAY, LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN. I THINK MAYBE MORE TRANSPARENCY, SO THAT MAYBE PEOPLE REALIZE WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE HCP, WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS. MAYBE THERE WOULD BE A LIST. IT MIGHT HAVE AN N.A. ON IT. IT'S NOT APPLICABLE OR REVIEWED AND REMOVED OR SOMETHING, SO THAT THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE UNDERSTANDING. 
          WE DON'T HAVE THIS FEELING THAT WE'RE HAVING WANTON DESTRUCTION PER SE, BUT A CHANCE FOR THE PUBLIC TO WEIGH IN. 
          AMELIA COMES AND SITS THROUGH ALL THESE MEETINGS. 
          SHE'S A WONDERFUL AUTHOR, A WONDERFUL HISTORIAN, RESEARCHER. AND JUST ALSO SHOUT OUT TO THE EARLIER THE ARCHIVES. I JUST WANT TO SAY, TOO, THAT WHEN I WAS ON THE PAC, I JUST BURIED THROUGH SOME OF THOSE ORAL HISTORIES. I JUST FOUND THEM JUST FASCINATING AND YOU CAN SPEND DAYS ON THERE. AND, YOU KNOW, HAVING THOSE YOU KNOW LISTED THE WAY YOU DO. AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO THROUGH THEM WAS JUST JUST FABULOUS. AND I'M WONDERING IF IN THE ARCHIVES, I THINK YOU HAD SIX SUBJECTS OR SOMETHING ON ONE OF YOUR SLIDES. I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE ONE OF OF THEM COULD BE HISTORIC. PROPERTIES. MAYBE WE COULD INSTITUTIONALIZE AND BRING UP THE BAR A LITTLE BIT OR SOMETHING, SO THAT WE HAVE A PLACE FOR IT, TO INSTITUTIONALIZE IT. 
          THERE'S JUST SO MUCH HERE. 
          IT'S JUST SUCH A WEALTH OF WONDERFUL INFORMATION. AND SO WHAT'S OUR OPPORTUNITY FOR SAVING IT FOR THE FUTURE? YEAH, AND WE CAN, I MEAN, I THINK THIS IS HELPFUL, A, TO GIVE YOU ALL SORT OF AN OVERVIEW OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING. 
          AND WE CAN GO BACK WITH OUR TEAM AND KIND OF HEAR THE FEEDBACK AND COMMENTS. AND JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT OTHER FUTURE NEXT STEPS THERE COULD BE. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS A CONTINUAL BODY OF WORK THAT WE WANT TO BE PARTNERING WITH YOUR BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY TO STEWARD THE CULTURAL RESOURCES IN OUR PARKS. AND JUST LAST THOUGHT, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW. I DEFINITELY HEARD YOU, ANNA-MARIE, AND EVERYTHING YOU SAID ABOUT. I GUESS I CAN'T HELP BUT BE A LITTLE WARD-CENTRIC ON PIEDMONT STABLES, BUT WE PUT A WHOLE LOT OF TON OF MONEY INTO RESTORING THAT ASBESTOS-LED BUILDING. IT IS SO CUTE AND SO PRETTY, AND IT'S GOTTEN AWARDS. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A FORM OR AN APPLICATION, OR HOW DOES IT GET ON THE LIST. I MEAN, JUST SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE FEEL THAT, I MEAN, THERE WAS SO MUCH WORK. THE LIGHTS, YOU SHOULD GO OUT THERE. YOU JUST FEEL LIKE YOU JUST TOOK A WALK BACK 
          [01:25:01]
IN TIME. TALK ABOUT THE ARCHIVES, DOING THAT GREAT HISTORY FOR US ON THE EQUINE HISTORY. 
          WHEN YOU WALK INTO PIEDMONT STABLES, YOU REALLY FEEL LIKE YOU'RE THERE. THEY'VE PRESERVED THE WAY THE LIGHTS DROP DOWN AND EVERYTHING THERE. SO ANYWAY, NICELY DONE. AND HOW WE CAN PRESERVE THAT OR HELP PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THEY'VE BEEN HEARD. IF PIEDMONT STABLES IS AN OPTION OR NOT, I JUST WOULD LIKE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION. 
          ANYWAY. THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON. 
          YOU HAVE ANOTHER COMMENT? YEAH, ONE MORE I MEANT TO MENTION. I REALLY WANT TO THANK BRENDA AND CLAUDIA ALSO FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DO AT THE GATHERING OF THE OHLONE PEOPLES. I KNOW THAT YOU PUT A LOT OF WORK IN REGARDS TO HAVING A BOOTH AT THE GATHERING OF THE OHLONE PEOPLES AND BEING BOTH REALLY MINDFUL AND RESPECTFUL IN TERMS OF GATHERING SOME OF THE ORAL HISTORIES. 
          FROM ATTENDEES, WHICH I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO DO, BUT THEN ALSO HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY THAT IF SOMEONE SEE, YOU KNOW, NOW THAT WE'VE HAD THIS GATHERING FOR SO MANY YEARS, PEOPLE MIGHT SEE, YOU KNOW, A GRANDMOTHER OR AN AUNT IN SOME OF THE PHOTOS FROM THE 1980S AND SAY, THAT'S MY GRANDMOTHER, AND BE INTERESTED IN HAVING A COPY OF THAT PHOTO FROM THE GATHERING OF THE OHLONE PEOPLES, AND YOU REALLY MAKE THAT AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE TO SIGN UP FOR, AND I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY SPECIAL AND PRECIOUS, THAT WE DO THAT AND THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, SUCH A GREAT LEGACY OF THAT PROGRAM, AND I KNOW FOR ME PERSONALLY NOW, I ENJOY, I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU EVERY YEAR AT THAT PARTICULAR EVENT, SO IT'S REALLY NICE TO HAVE YOU THERE, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT WORK. OKAY, I AM GOING TO TAKE A BOARD OPTION AND ASK FOR A FIVE-MINUTE BREAK BEFORE WE GET TO OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM. 
          GREAT, WELCOME BACK TO THE NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE. WE HAVE OUR ITEM, AGENDA 5C, ON OUR AGENDA PLANNING FOR 2026. AND I THINK, AGAIN, BRIAN HOLTZ IS GOING TO INTRODUCE THIS TOPIC FOR US. YEAH, JUST A REAL QUICK INTRODUCTION. THIS IS A LIST THAT WE PULLED TOGETHER FOR THE YEAR. THIS IS BUILT ON PARTLY INPUT THAT WE'VE GOTTEN FROM THE COMMITTEE LAST YEAR AND IN YEARS PRIOR. DEFINITELY WORK TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, TRYING TO BALANCE THE CULTURAL AND NATURAL RESOURCE ITEMS. THAT'S ALWAYS A LITTLE BIT OF A CHALLENGE. AND THEN I'LL JUST MENTION THIS YEAR. ONE THING THAT WE'RE HOPING TO DO, AND YOU SAW SOME OF THAT TODAY, IS TO TRY TO BRING IN SOME OF OUR EXTERNAL PARTNERS. TO COME AND GIVE SOME INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATIONS TO JUST SORT OF HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THOSE SORTS OF EFFORTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON. YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THAT THROUGHOUT THIS AGENDA, THIS DRAFT. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE COMMITTEE'S INPUT. 
          WELL, THAT'S A SIMPLE PRESENTATION. SO I GUESS WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US WHAT OUR SCHEDULE LOOKS LIKE FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. 
          I'M GLAD THAT WE ADDED A COUPLE MEETINGS THIS YEAR FOR THIS COMMITTEE. IT WAS FOUR MEETINGS. I WANTED TO SAY I APPRECIATE THAT AND STAFF AND THE BOARD FOR PUTTING THIS AT THE TOP OF OUR LIST FOR AT LEAST SIX MEETINGS THIS YEAR. I DON'T KNOW. WE'VE GOT OUR LIST IN FRONT OF US. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS, BOARD MEMBERS AT THIS POINT? DISCUSSION? I HAVE ONE. I GUESS IT'S A QUESTION. I THINK, MATT, YOU SHARED WITH US THAT LIST THAT GOES BACK TO WHEN BEV LANE AND I WERE COMING UP WITH TOPICS. 
          AND I THINK YOU SHARED, AND I DIDN'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT IT, HOW MUCH OF THAT WENT INTO THIS? MATT GRAW, DIVISION LEAD FOR STEWARDSHIP, AND I THINK THE REASON DIRECTOR COFFEY IS ASKING ME ABOUT THIS IS BECAUSE I WAS HERE WHEN WE DEVELOPED THAT LIST AND WAS A BIG PART OF THAT. WE DEFINITELY LOOKED AT IT, AND THAT'S WHAT INFORMED THIS. 
          I MEAN, I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS, LIKE THE TOPICS WE HAD TODAY WERE THINGS THAT CAME OFF OF THAT LIST. HOW MANY, I DIDN'T COUNT IT UP. I MEAN, I CAN'T TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, BUT I KNOW THAT WAS VERY, LIKE, THE FOUNDATION OF HOW WE CAME UP WITH THIS, IN ADDITION TO THE COMMENTS FROM THE LAST TWO MEETINGS OF LAST YEAR WHEN IT WAS GETTING SUGGESTED. SO WE CAN SEND IT BACK TO YOU AGAIN AND TALK ABOUT THAT BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING. I HAVE IT SOMEWHERE, AND I JUST COULDN'T FIND IT. 
          YEAH, YEAH, I'LL TALK TO SABRINA. I KNOW WE REWORKED IT A LITTLE BIT AND TRIED TO ADD IN SOME DATES OF WHEN CERTAIN THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE. OR IF IT'S MOVED TO ANOTHER VENUE OR SOME OF THOSE THINGS. WE TALKED ABOUT BOARD TOURS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO WE CAN RESEND IT TO YOU. BUT I WOULD SAY IT WAS 
          [01:30:02]
A KEY THING WE USED TO COME UP WITH THE AGENDA FOR THIS YEAR. AND I SEE THE ESPACE STEWARDSHIP NETWORK ON THERE. YEAH, YEAH, WE HAD IT ON THERE. I KNOW IT WAS BROUGHT UP AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING, AND WE, YEAH, WE'RE PLANNING TO BRING IT HERE IN JUNE, AND YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT DURING THAT PRESENTATION THINGS. WE'RE WORKING ON TO SORT OF FORMALIZE OUR RELATIONSHIP, AND I THINK SO WE WERE GOING TO GIVE THE MORE INTRODUCTORY TALK ABOUT THIS, AND THEN EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE A DOCUMENT COMING TO THE FULL BOARD TO SORT OF FORMALIZE THAT PARTNERSHIP. 
          AND SO I THINK THAT'S HOW WE WERE THINKING ABOUT THIS IS. 
          WE WOULD GIVE A MORE INTRODUCTION, TALK ABOUT THAT PROCESS HERE, AND THEN, IN THE FUTURE, BRING IT TO THE FULL BOARD, AND THEN THERE WOULD BE, AT SOME POINT, AN ACTION ITEM TO FORMALIZE THE STEWARDSHIP NETWORK AS A FORMAL PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ALL THE ENTITIES. I'M REAL EXCITED ABOUT THAT. I'VE TALKED TO DINA ABOUT IT AND HEARD ORIGINALLY JAMES WILSON. AS WE'RE SPEAKING ABOUT PARTNERS AND BRINGING THEM TO THIS MEETING, IF JAMES COULD MAKE IT FOR THAT TOPIC, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. 
          YEAH, WE CAN HELP. WE'LL DEFINITELY WORK AND SAID THAT I PROBABLY WORKED FOR HIS SCHEDULE, BUT YEAH, THAT WOULD BE. THAT'S, I'M SURE DINA WAS PLANNING TO DO THAT PRESENTATION, DINA ROBERTSON, BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN LEAD, BUT I KNOW SHE'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO INCLUDE JAMES IN THAT. BECAUSE, YEAH, WE'RE WORKING GREAT TOGETHER. 
          THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. I'D ADD, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S REALLY EXCITING IS WE ACTUALLY RAISED MONEY TO HIRE A COORDINATOR FOR THE ESPACE STEWARDSHIP NETWORK. OH, REALLY? WHO IS, JMLT IS THE SPONSOR FOR THAT. 
          AND SO SHE ACTUALLY SORT OF TECHNICALLY REPORTS TO JAMES, TECHNICALLY REPORTS TO ALL OF US AS PARTNERS. 
          BUT ANYWAY, I'M SURE THAT SHE WILL BE HERE. 
          WE CAN INVITE JAMES AS WELL. I MEAN, IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT GROUP'S LIKE A PARTY BECAUSE YOU CAN JUST INVITE A LOT OF PEOPLE AND IT'S FUN. 
          ALL THE LAND MANAGERS, WHAT'S THE EAST BAY, RIGHT? YEP. ALL THE MAJOR LANDOWNERS, ALL THE WATER AGENCIES AND THE STATE PARKS, PLUS WE'RE STARTING TO INCLUDE AND EXPAND INTO LAND TRUSTS AND THE RCDS, I SHOULD MENTION, TOO. ALAMEDA AND CONTRA COSTA RCDS ARE ALSO MEMBERS. SO WE'RE PUTTING ALL THESE AGENCIES TOGETHER. AND WE'LL CREATE A STRUCTURE THAT WILL BE A REALLY ATTRACTIVE SOURCE OF FUNDING TO THE STATE FUNDERS. IT ALREADY IS. SO, I MEAN, WE'RE LIKE, DOING THE PRESENTATION RIGHT NOW, BUT YES. YEAH. THANK YOU. 
          SORRY. JUST WHILE I HAVE THE FLOOR. I JUST WANTED TO ADD A LITTLE CONTEXT. WE HAVE BROOKS ROAD DOWN THERE, AND WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE PUT MORE ON THIS. AND BROOKS ROAD IS A TRAIL REALIGNMENT PROCESS. 
          IT'S CREATING TWO BRIDGES AND A CREEK RESTORATION. IT'S A GREAT PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO CONSTRUCTION LATER THIS YEAR. 
          SO THAT WILL BE IN FRONT OF THE BOARD, BUT THIS WILL BE A TIME TO REALLY GET INTO THE DETAILS OF THAT AND CELEBRATE ALL THAT. 
          I JUST NOTICED EARLIER IT SAYS BROOKS ROAD, AND SOME OF YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE THAT FULL CONTEXT. AND I WAS TOO EMBARRASSED TO ASK. SO THANK YOU. I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. 
          ACTUALLY, OLIVIA, DID YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? THERE'S A COUPLE BIG PICTURE, LIKE WHEN I LOOK AT MANAGING RESERVOIRS IN EAST BAY PARKS, I THINK A COUPLE OF US HAVE ASKED THE BOARD MEMBERS ABOUT KIND OF A BIG PICTURE, WATER QUALITY PERSPECTIVE AND A WATERSHED, LIKE UNDERSTANDING. 
          I HONESTLY HAVEN'T HAD SEEN THE WATERSHED MAPS TO SEE WHICH WATERSHED WE'RE AT OR WHEN WE'RE ACQUIRING LANDS. 
          WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WHEN WE MIGHT BE GETTING INTO ANOTHER WATERSHED, BUT I JUST WONDER ON SOME OF THESE IF WE CAN GET SORT OF A BIGGER PICTURE. SO SORT OF LIKE TODAY, IT WAS EXCITING TO HEAR FROM THESE DIFFERENT GROUPS AND SHORELINES. AND THAT WE HAVE SOME RESOURCES THAT MAYBE EVEN STAFF CAN, OR MAYBE I BETTER STICK WITH QUESTIONS, THAT COULD YOU GET BACK TO US WITH SOME MORE LISTS AND SOME MORE RESOURCES. AND MAYBE IN THESE PRESENTATIONS, PROVIDE FOR US A BIGGER PICTURE, LIKE WHAT'S OUT THERE ON WETLAND, WATER QUALITY, WHAT'S OUT THERE ON WATERSHED, THAT TYPE OF THING. I IMAGINE RESERVOIR IN THAT SENSE WOULD INCLUDE LAKE ANZA AND JEWEL LAKE. 
          GREAT POINT, AND MATT COULD PROBABLY JUMP ON THIS TOO. I THINK MANAGING RESERVOIRS, I FEEL LIKE THAT USED TO BE, MAYBE WE CALLED IT MORE LIKE WATER QUALITY REPORTING. 
          IT'S THIS BLUE-GREEN ANALOGY REPORT. YES, THAT'S LIKE THE SAME THING. AND YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A FEW ITEMS THAT ARE BOLD THERE, AND THOSE ARE ITEMS THAT COME BACK EVERY YEAR. SO OUR FREE ROAMING CAT POLICY UPDATE, THE RESERVOIRS AND WATER QUALITY, AND THEN THE IPM REPORT. AND ALL OF, WELL, CATS MAY BE A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC, BUT THE RESERVOIRS IS REALLY LIKE ALL OF OUR RESERVOIRS, AND WATER QUALITY ISSUES IS THAT TOPIC. AND THEN THE IPM REPORT IS ALSO A REALLY BIG. LIKE, HOW DO WE MANAGE, DO INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT ACROSS THE WHOLE DISTRICT, 
          [01:35:02]
EVERYTHING WE DO. 
          BUT I LOVE THE IDEA OF WATERSHEDS, TOO. SO THAT'S SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AS WE WERE DEVELOPING THIS. ONE OF THE IDEAS THAT I DON'T KNOW IF IT ACTUALLY MADE IT INTO THIS LIST. I THINK IT'S LIKE, ON THE MAYBE FOR NEXT YEAR IS PARTNERING WITH ONE OR TWO OR MORE OF OUR LOCAL WATER DISTRICTS TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE WATERSHED. PLANNING THAT WE DO TOGETHER AND LOOKING AT CLIMATE CHANGE. I KNOW ALAMEDA COUNTY WATER DISTRICT IS DOING SOME CLIMATE PLANNING FOR THE WATERSHEDS THAT ARE WITHIN THEIR JURISDICTION AND THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING WITH THEM ABOUT IT. SO I LOVE THAT IDEA. AND WE CAN KIND OF, LIKE, PUT THAT INTO OUR THINKING. FOR EITHER LIKE SOMETIME THIS YEAR OR FOR NEXT YEAR, IF THAT SOUNDS OKAY. YEAH, THANKS FOR THAT. I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP THE FREE-ROAMING CAT ISSUE. I CAN'T HELP BUT SAY WE'VE DONE SUCH A FANTASTIC JOB AT THAT, AND IT'S ACTUALLY A BEST PRACTICE, I THINK, FOR OTHER, THAT AT SOME POINT, IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT WE COULD SORT OF ALMOST PUT THAT ON CONSENT, OR, I DON'T KNOW, I'D RATHER HONESTLY SEE AN AGENDA, I DON'T KNOW. IF THESE ARE FLUSHED OUT, YOU CAN ADD A FOURTH IN SOME PLACES, BUT... 
          SOMETHING ON ENDANGERED SPECIES AND UNDERSTANDING THE RESOURCES. I DID A PRESENTATION RECENTLY THAT DAVE MASON HELPED ME WITH, AND IT HAD A LIST OF 17 ENDANGERED SPECIES AND THIS AND THAT. AND THEN I JUST SAW RECENTLY A POST ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT MOUNTAIN LIONS BEING LISTED. 
          SO I'D REALLY APPRECIATE AT THIS LEVEL, OR MAYBE AT THE BOARD, ADDING SOMETHING ON OUR ENDANGERED AND THREATENED SPECIES LIST AS WELL. YEAH, AND WE HAVE A PRESENTATION WE DID AT THE PAC LAST SPRING THAT WE COULD REFRESH AND UPDATE FOR CURRENT THINGS. I MEAN, THERE WOULD BE LIKE A CHANGE POTENTIALLY IN THE MOUNTAIN LION. I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE HAS CHANGED SINCE WE DID THAT, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD BRING BACK. 
          BUT JUST A NOTE, THOUGH, BACK ON THE FREE-ROAMING CATAPAZZI, AND CERTAINLY, WE HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB, AND IT'S REALLY KIND OF AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM. AND NATALIE REEDER JUST PRESENTED AT THE WILDLIFE SOCIETY CONFERENCE, AND IT WAS INCREDIBLY WELL-RECEIVED, AND EVEN A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE WERE JUST, OH, HOW CAN WE DO THIS, OR HOW CAN WE DO THIS? OR SUGGESTING RESOURCES THAT COULD HELP IMPROVE OUR PROGRAM. SO, POINT NOTED, ALTHOUGH, WHEN WE PASS THE POLICY ON HOW WE'RE MANAGING CATS IN THE PARK DISTRICT, PART OF THAT POLICY REQUIRES US TO BRING AN ANNUAL REPORT TO THE NATURAL CULTURE RESOURCES EVERY YEAR. SO THOSE TWO THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED, IPM AND FREE-ROAMING CATS, ARE BASED ON POLICIES THAT REQUIRE US TO DO A BOARD REPORT, AND THAT'S HOW WE'VE DONE IT AS TO THIS COMMITTEE. HAPPY TO TALK TO THE DIRECTORS IF THERE'S ANOTHER WAY YOU'D LIKE US TO MEET THAT OR DO IT. 
          POTENTIALLY TO THE FULL BOARD AT TIMES. THE MANAGING RESERVOIRS HAS BECOME AN ANNUAL THING BECAUSE OF THE BLUE GREEN ALGAE AND THE WATER QUALITY CHALLENGES. WE WANTED TO GIVE THE BOARD AN UPDATE ON MAINLY OUR HIGH-PROFILE LAKES LIKE ANZA, LAKE TEMESCAL, WHERE WE'VE HAD THE MOST CHALLENGES, BUT IT'S BEEN AN OVERVIEW OF ALL THOSE. SO THAT ONE, WE DID HIGHLIGHT IT BECAUSE IT'S BECOME AN ANNUAL PRESENTATION, BUT IT'S THE ONE THAT'S BEEN. 
          OR THROUGH NEED, AND NOT THROUGH POLICY. WELL, IT'S SO GREAT. I THINK WE CAN KIND OF DO A QUICK CHECKOFF, AND MAYBE YOU COULD ADD A FOURTH ITEM THAT DAY ON ENDANGERED SPECIES. OKAY, WELL, THAT'S INTERESTING. 
          ANYWAY, THAT'S JUST A QUESTION. 
          I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. OH, AND YOU'RE SUGGESTING THAT FOR AUGUST, THE 12TH, I BELIEVE, SHORTEN THE FREE-ROAMING CATS? OKAY, POINT NOTED, AND WE'LL LOOK INTO THAT. THAT SHOULD PROBABLY WORK. MINUTES BECOMES ROUTINE, SORT OF EVEN LIKE IPM. I MEAN, WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE KNOW WHAT WE REPORT OUT. 
          ANYWAY, THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE ON THE ESPACE STEWARDSHIP NETWORK THAT WAS BROUGHT UP, IS THAT, WHERE'S NATURECHECK? IS THAT PART OF THAT? YEAH, OKAY, YEAH, SO THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, AND SO, NATURECHECK WAS THE PRECURSOR TO FORMING THE ESPACE STEWARDSHIP NETWORK, SO THE NATURECHECK REPORT WAS THAT INITIALLY BROUGHT US TOGETHER WITH ALL THE WATER AGENCIES AND STATE PARKS TO CONDUCT THAT ASSESSMENT. 
          AND THROUGH DOING THAT... AND THAT PARTNERSHIP IN DOING THAT, THAT WAS WHERE I SAID, HEY, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO ONETAM. I MEAN, AND ACTUALLY ONETAM WAS OUR MOTIVATION AND ALL THE THINGS THEY'D DONE ON ONETAM AND THOSE ASSESSMENTS, THEY'D DONE A SIMILAR, THE HEALTH OF THE MOUNTAIN. 
          AND WE THOUGHT, OH, LET'S DO THIS AS THE HEALTH OF THE EAST BAY. AND SO THAT WAS THE AND THEN. SO ONCE WE STARTED THAT AND IT ALL STARTED GOING REALLY WELL, IT WAS LIKE, OH, WE SHOULD FORMALIZE THIS GROUP. 
          AND THERE'S SO MUCH MORE WE COULD DO BEYOND NATURE CHECK. 
          AND THERE'S SO MUCH MORE WE CAN SHARE. NOW THAT WE'VE STARTED TO STANDARDIZE HOW WE'RE COLLECTING INFORMATION ON THESE VARIOUS SPECIES, AND NOW OUR DATA IS SORT OF COMPARABLE BETWEEN AGENCIES. MORE, AND SO WE'VE AGREED ON THESE THINGS. WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO? YOU KNOW, HOW CAN WE PARTNER ON PRESCRIBED FIRE? HOW CAN WE PARTNER ON VEGETATION MANAGEMENT? HOW CAN WE PARTNER ON JUST EDUCATION AND EDUCATING OURSELVES, OR HOW WE WORK WITH OTHER AGENCIES THAT AREN'T THE REGULATORY AGENCIES? SO, YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, AND, YEAH, THAT'S HOW IT'S CONNECTED. ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? COMMENT ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? THERE IS NO PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          ANY OTHER BOARD? I HAVE ONE BIG PICTURE QUESTION OR COMMENT. 
          [01:40:04]
ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK YOU'VE HEARD FROM THE BOARD, FROM THE COMMITTEES, EVEN FROM THE PAC, IS ALL OF THESE. HOW CAN WE BE MORE INVOLVED? SO RATHER THAN JUST HAVE THESE PRESENTED TO US THROUGH THE YEAR. WHERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK US FOR BOARD INPUT, OR TO GIVE US SOME ALTERNATIVES? SO THAT WHEN THIS COMMITTEE IS MORE ENGAGED, AND EVEN OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC TO BE ENGAGED, WHAT? I WOULD, MY TWO CENTS, IS THE LESS INFORMATIONAL THAT WE HAVE, AND THE MORE, AT A MINIMUM, BOARD INPUT OR VOTES. THESE ARE SUCH IMPORTANT TOPICS. I LOVE THIS LIST YOU'VE GIVEN US, AND I ACTUALLY, TOO, WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE MASTER LIST OF THE BEVERLY DAYS AND SEE WHAT WE'RE MISSING. SOMEONE PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO THAT, SO I WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE DUG UP, SO JUST FOR MY OWN INFO. 
          BUT THAT'S MY TWO CENTS. HOW CAN WE MAKE EACH OF THESE A POLICY, A DELIVERABLE, A DECISION, A BOARD INPUT? WE ONLY MEET SIX TIMES A YEAR, SO LET'S BE PRODUCTIVE. THAT WOULD BE MY TWO CENTS. WELL, THAT SOUNDS GOOD. AND I GUESS I'D PUT IT BACK TO YOU. LIKE, WHAT ARE THE, HELP US THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF IT, WHAT THE ACTION IS. AND WE CAN, YOU HAVE THIS LIST OF WHAT THE TOPICS ARE. AND SO IF YOU SEE WHAT YOU WANT THAT TO LEAD TOWARDS, I MEAN, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THESE COMMITTEES GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO IS DIG DEEPER THAN WE GET TO. 
          IN THE BOARD MEETINGS INTO TOPICS. AND, YOU KNOW, WITH THE BOARD, FULL BOARD MEETINGS, ALL OF THOSE ARE BUSINESS ITEMS, ALMOST. THEY'RE ALMOST ALL ACTIONS. THIS IS ONE WHERE WE GET TO DIVE TOGETHER INTO A TOPIC AND WE GET TO HEAR FEEDBACK FROM YOU ALL AS BOARD MEMBERS, BUT IT'S OPEN ENOUGH THAT WE CAN REALLY HAVE A CONVERSATION AND WE CAN LEARN TOGETHER ABOUT TOPICS, KIND OF IN AN OPEN WAY. SO I THINK... I DO THINK BOTH OF THOSE THINGS ARE SUPER VALUABLE, BUT I'M ALSO OPEN, AND I THINK OUR TEAM'S OPEN TO JUST HEARING HOW WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT. I GUESS ONE OTHER THING THAT WE ARE WORKING ON IS, FOR EXAMPLE, WITH SOME OF THE PROJECT PLANNING PROCESSES, IS FIGURING OUT HOW TO BRING THOSE TO COMMITTEES AND TO YOUR BOARD. 
          WITH MORE OPTIONS AT MORE OPPORTUNITIES. SO, YOU KNOW, AS AN EXAMPLE, WITH DOOLIN CANYON. WE BROUGHT OPTIONS AROUND POTENTIALLY OPENING IT TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO COME TO YOUR FULL BOARD WITH OPTIONS AROUND OPENING THAT. AND I THINK THAT'S SORT OF CREATING SOME NEW PROCESS FOR YOUR BOARD TO GET MORE ENGAGED THAN YOUR BOARD HAS TYPICALLY HAD IN THE PAST. AND I THINK SIMILARLY WITH A FEW OTHER PROJECTS, WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN DO THAT SAME THING. SO THAT YOUR BOARD CAN GIVE STAFF DIRECTION IN MORE PLACES. 
          YEAH, I THINK ANYTHING THAT, I DON'T KNOW, EVEN LIKE THE FORMER, BRING TO US. 
          HERE'S OUR NEW FORM. IF YOU HAVE A HISTORIC BUILDING, YOU WANT TO BE CONSIDERED, YOU KNOW, DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY INPUT ON HOW THAT SHOULD WORK? OR HERE'S OUR NEW, YOU KNOW, TOPIC OF THE MONTH, OR SPECIES OF THE MONTH. I SEE IT SOMEWHERE ON HERE. I CAN'T SEE IT RIGHT NOW, BUT SOMETHING ABOUT AMPHIBIANS. BUT, YOU KNOW, I LOVE MOUNT ABEL'S SOCIAL MEDIA. THEY HAVE, LIKE, A SPECIES. A WEEK, OR WE COULD HAVE A HISTORIC BUILDING A WEEK, OR I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE YOU COULD BRING TO US YOUR IDEAS AND WE COULD FLESH THEM OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE, OR WEIGH IN AND HAVE THEM GENERATE SOMETHING. EITHER MORE SOCIAL MEDIA, OR MORE EDUCATION, OR MORE OF A LIST OR A FORM. I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO WASTE STAFF'S TIME AS MUCH AS OURS. LET'S WE HAVE SO MUCH EXPERIENCE, ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO SORT OF GET SOME OUTCOMES. WE DON'T HAVE TO DELVE ON THAT ANY FURTHER. YOU HEAR ME? I HEAR YOU. BUT I MENTIONED THERE ARE A FEW ITEMS LIKE THAT, AND THIS IS HELPFUL TO HEAR MORE BECAUSE IT'S HELPING ME UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. THE VEG MANAGEMENT STRATEGY IS AN EXAMPLE OF THAT, RIGHT, WHERE YOU WERE THERE, WENT TO THE PAC TO INVITE THEM TO HELP US WITH IT, AND THEN WE WANT TO COME TO YOUR COMMITTEE TO GET MORE INPUT AND ASK THAT EXACT QUESTION. I THINK YOU'RE GETTING AT, WHICH IS LIKE, HERE'S SORT OF WHAT WE'RE THINKING. ARE WE ON THE RIGHT TRACK? IS THERE MORE WE SHOULD BE THINKING? ARE WE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION? AND THEN THAT WILL INFORM WHAT WE BRING TO YOUR BOARD DOWN THE ROAD. BUT, YEAH, THANK YOU. THIS IS OUR OVERSIGHT ROLE, AND THIS IS 
          [01:45:01]
WHAT THESE PRESENTATIONS DO FOR ME. I FEEL VERY PRODUCTIVE BECAUSE I HAVE FOLLOW-UP NOTES. 
          FOR INSTANCE, I'M GOING TO GO READ THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION POLICY THAT WE HAVE EXISTING AS AMELIA'S. SUGGESTING AND MAYBE IT BECOMES A TOPIC. WE PROBABLY SHOULD DO THAT IN FOLLOW-UP. 
          AND THERE'S LOTS OF THINGS TO FOLLOW UP HERE ON. SO I FEEL VERY PRODUCTIVE IN HEARING THIS OUT, AND I THINK THEY'RE VERY WELL DONE. 
          AND I DO AGREE THAT THERE ARE ISSUES THAT RAISE FOR US OUR OWN ROLE. DO WE HAVE A ROLE BECAUSE IT'S OUR WARD? DO WE HAVE A ROLE JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE AN OPINION? AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK AT LEAST WHAT I DO IS I INJECT MYSELF INTO WARD 7 ISSUES THAT THESE FOLKS ARE WORKING ON, AND THEY'RE VERY RECEPTIVE TO THAT. SO I THINK THAT'S, I THINK IT'S PRETTY PRODUCTIVE. 
          THAT'S MY TWO CENTS. YEAH. I HAVE THE STARS NEXT TO MY ACTION ITEM. GO GET THE HESPA REPORT AND READ IT. GO, LET YOU KNOW THAT. SO I'VE GOT QUITE A FEW. SO I AGREE. I'M NOT IN ANY WAY SAYING WE AREN'T PRODUCTIVE. I'M JUST ADDING TO THE CONVERSATION. I JUST REMEMBER ONE OTHER THING, WHICH IS, I THINK TYPICALLY ALL THE COMMITTEES JUST RECOMMEND ACTIONS TO THE FULL BOARD. 
          SO, LIKE THE WAY THAT WE TYPICALLY OPERATE IS LIKE THE COMMITTEES DON'T TAKE ACTION INDEPENDENT OF THE FULL BOARD. 
          ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT, WELL, NO MORE COMMENTS, QUESTIONS. 
          DO WE HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS? NO ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM US. SO I THINK THAT BRINGS US TO ADJOURNMENT. THE TIME IS 03:55, AND OUR NATURAL, CULTURAL, AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE IS ADJOURNED.
