PURPOSE: To receive, for information purposes only, the Preliminary Report of the BOCC
Open Space Task Force.
BACKGROUND: The Open Space Task Force, formed in May 2000, includes Commissioners
Margaret Brown and Alice Gordan and County staff. In the spring and fall of last year, the Task
Force worked to help develop the Annual Action Plan for the Lands Legacy program.
In the last few months, the attention of the Task Force has turned to evaluating the many
different needs that have been identified for parks and open space. This evaluation has been
compiled in the Open Space Task Force report. The report uses the following source materials
to identify short-term and long-term priorities for park and open space land acquisition, and
parks facilities development:
1. 'The 1999 Joint Master Recreation and Parks Report (adopted by the BOCC 5/3/00)
2. Joint Parks Guidelines and Criteria (adopted 12R/99 and 5/3/00)
3. The State of the Environment report (February 2000)
4. "A Lands Legacy Program for Orange County", (adopted by the BOCC 4/4/00)

6. Lands Legacy Long-Term Priorities 2002-2010 (presented 3/27/01)
A copy of the report is attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact involved with receiving the report. The report
does make recommendations that could impact the proposed 2001 bond referendum.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the report as
information only at this time, and schedule further discussion for the April 25"' worksession.

Preliminary Report of the
Orange County Open Space Task Force
Apri 117, 2001
Executive Summary
The Open Space Task Force, formed in May 2000, includes Commissioners Margaret
Brown and Alice Gordon and County staff.
A. Background
In the spring and fall of last yeaz, the Task Force worked to help develop the Annual
Action Plan for the Lands Legacy program.
In the last few months, the attention of the Task Force has turned to evaluating the many
different needs that have been identified for parks and open space. This evaluation has
been compiled in the Open Space Task Force report. The report uses the following source
materials to identify short-term and long-term priorities for pazk and open space land
acquisition, and pazks faciliries development:
1. The 1999 Joint Master Recreation and Parks Report (adopted by the BOCC 5/3/00)
2. Joint Pazks Guidelines and Criteria (adopted 12/7/99 and 5/3/00)
3. The State of the Environment report (February 2000)
4. "A Lands Legacy Program for Orange County", (adopted by the BOCC 4/4/00)
5. The Lands Legacy Interim Action Plan (adopted 5/3/00)
6. Lands Legacy Long-Term Priorities 2002-2010 (presented 3/27/01)
A theme that is common to all of these reports is the need for proactive steps for "land-
banking" to preserve future pazklands and existing natural azeas, before they are gone.
The 1999 Joint Master Recreation and Pazks (JMRP) report emphasizes that point, as
shown in this quotation from that report:
...the Work Group has determined that the current critical need is to begin long-term land
acquisition (land banking°)_ This concept is similar to any kind of bank - it essentially
establishes a "savings account" of land. Once the savings account has been fully funded,
land can be withdrawn and developed for specific parks and recreation needs.
The JMRP report then goes on to note:
Simultaneous with the population increase, land in Orange County is rapidly increasing in
value. Large fracfs are being subdivided, and options for geographic locations of parkland
in every township .are diminishing. A priority for use of future funds clearly must be land
acquisition far long-term park needs, rather than simply developing recreational facilities
(which can be developed over time as the population increases).
A program for land acquisition for long-term park needs should be developed That
identifies sites that could meet needs (including potential for siting active and low-impact
recreation), based on projected size and location of parkland throughout the county. The
availability of matching funds from the benefiting jurisdictions should be an important
component in future acquisition and park development....
The reports cited above also offer insights into the park facilities needs of each
jurisdiction in the County. The balance between pazkland and the development of
facilities was also reflected in the 1997 referendum. The Lands Legacy program is
striving to make land-banking and preservation of critical resource lands a reality.
Another important component that guided the work in this report was the 1997 Parks
bond and the noteworthy projects that have been accomplished from that bond. A total of
five new soccer fields have been constructed or will soon be available for County
citizens, accomplished with proceeds from that bond. The band and the reports of pazks
work groups in the past four years has greatly advanced our ability to work together
Countywide for parks and open space needs. The Board's adopted criteria for joint parks
projects cleazly articulates the ways that joint pazks projects could be pursued by multiple
jurisdictions.
B. Goals for Parks, Open Space and Resource Lands
The projects recommended in this report were selected with the following goals in mind:
1. Work towazd completion of projects in the 1988 County Master Recreation and Pazks
Plan
2. Work toward completion of projects (acquisition and facilities) suggested in the 1999
Joint Master Recreation and Parks (JMRP) Work Crroup report
3. Promote appropriate joint parks and open space projects between Town and County,
consistent with adopted criteria
4. Acquire.Top Priority Identified Natural Areas and Wildlife Habitat and Prime Forests
5. Acquire conservation easements on top priority Prime and Threatened Farmland in
Water Supply Watersheds
6. Aggressively pursue grants and partnerships with other local governments and
associations
The current report lays out the short term and longer-term priorities that we see from the
identified needs. The short-term projects are needs that we anticipate will be most
critical for the next five years, while the longer-term needs are projects that, while
extremely important, may require activity and funding in the 6-XO yeaz timeframe.
The issues discussed in this current report are timely because of the ongoing work of the
Capital Needs Advisory Task Force. The short-term priorities in the report are the Task
Force's best estimate of the projects that might be feasible for the November bond
referendum, and aze also provided to serve as a starting point for Boazd discussion of
parks and open space needs.

C. Land Acquisitions for Parks, Open Space and Resource Conservation
Short-Term (2-5 Years)
Table 1 gives the priorities for land acquisitions during the next two to five years. Note
that the 1999 Joint Master Recreation and Parks report emphasizes the importance of land
banking to preserve pazk sites now. The Task Force concurs with this recommendation,
and recommends that at least half the pazks funds allocated from the upcoming
November 2001 bond referendum be devoted to land acquisition.
The cost estimates put forth in this table, and in the rest of the report, are based on current
knowledge and markets present in 2001. Estimates should be revised at the time of
funding to reflect the then-current conditions.
D. Parks and Open Space Facilities Development - Short-Term Priorities (2-5
Years)
Table 2 gives the priorities for facilities development during the next two to five yeazs.
Note that the Task Force anticipates that County and Town discussions or discussion of
the Capital Needs Advisory Task Force will reveal other facility needs.
E. Land Acquisitions and Facilities Development -Long-Term Priorities (6-1p
Years)
The report also gives suggested priorities for land acquisitions and facilities development
during the next 6-10 years.
F. Joint Parks Guidelines and Criteria
The criteria for joint pazk projects adopted by the Boazd of County Commissioners
during the past two yeazs is summarized on this page. Note that these criteria should
guide the selection of projects for the upcoming bond referendum.
G. Conclusions
Based on information available to the group, the Open Space Task Force believes that the
projects cited in this report reflect a reasonable assessment of open space needs through
the yeaz 2010. The Task Force hopes that the Boazd finds this report helpful in
identifying the many different pazks and open space needs that exist, and that it
engenders discussion of how to make these important needs a reality.
H. Recommended Actions
The Open Space Task Force recommends that the Board of County Commissioners:
1. Discuss the Preliminary Report and provide comments
2. Approve the Executive Summary of the report, and forwazd it along with
Tables 1 and 2 and the "Joint Pazks Guidelines and Criteria" to the Capital
Needs Advisory Task Force
3. Receive the rest of the report for further discussion

III. Longer-Term Priorities
Parks, Open Space and Resource Lands
Acquisition and Faci/ity Deve%prrrent
The Lands Legacy Long-Term Priority document and the 1999 Joint Master Recreation
and Pazks report both encourage thinking beyond the short-term for identifying the
highest priorities for resource land acquisition and parks needs.
While these long-term priorities are likely outside of the scope of the 2001 bond
referendum, it is instructive to begin thinking of these needs for long-term Capital
Investment Planning.
The following longer-term priorities aze culled from the new "Lands Legacy Long-Term
Priorities 2001-2010" document, as well as the same resources listed on page 5. (Please
see page 13 far abbreviations used). The goals for longer-term priorities aze the same as
those listed for short-term priorities.
Longer-term priorities (as defined herein) are identified as projects in the six to 10 yeaz
timeframe. These priorities aze grouped by their Lands Legacy goal categories.
A. Land Acquisitions
Table 3 gives the priorities for land acquisition during the next b to 10 yeazs.
B. Facilities Development
Table 4 gives the priorities for facilities development during the next 6-10 yeazs
