Subject: Concerns About Rancho Rinconada Survey
Date: Thursday,August 6,2020 12:57:07 PM
CAUTION:This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you
recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Dear Park and Recreation Commission:
I have read the information about the Rancho Rinconada survey which I
participated in last spring. I have some concerns about the surbey.
It appears that there were 11 responses from one household. Was this
house actually in Rancho Rinconada? Can this be verified? How can
you have 11 responses from one household? Was the survey designed
to have one response from each household or as many as 11 people in
a household? That is a lot of people in one household. I would be wondering
who lived in that house?
How does the survey make sure only Rancho Rinconada residents respond?
I think that there should be another survey that is just for Rancho Rinconada
residenys.
I don't think Next Door should be involved in the survey. Not every one is
on Next Door and Next Door has a lot of problems. It is not secure.
I do think the survey should be redesigned if they are going to use it again.
When I was taking it I did not feel it was secure and I was afraid our comments
would be shown to people who should not see them. I do not think the survey was
secure enough and confidential.
Please redo the survey if that is what you are going to do and only let Rancho Rinconada
resdents participate. It is our one million dollars assets that are in the pool facility and the
land and no one outside of Rancho Rinconada can comment on or have the authority
to say how that how that money is to be
retained on-site at the facility or is addressed in any other way. Rancho Rinconada is in the
Special District and no one else. Others should not be deciding what to do with the one
million dollars assets and it is not theirs to"give"to the city.
Please redo the survey and make it secure and more confidential and only for Rancho
Rinconada residents . And also do not let 11 people from one household weigh the
responses. My husband has a Masters in Statistics and he said this was not a random
sampling and the data responses are skewed.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Griffin

Subject: Re: rancho
thank you carol.
I think some of the comments were concerns about taxes. We pay the same property tax
regardless . 4.61 percent of it now goes to the special district. I'm not aware of Barrington
Bridge ever being concerned before. Their comments seem a little contrived. Based on my
knowledge and experience of nearly 30 years on that board, I can say the city with
experienced people in Parks and Recreation are infinitely more capable and honest in their
ability to create something really good for all the community opposed to people with no
experience (at least for the past 7 years) who have no interest other than that of the 1/2
million dollar tax that comes in there every year and the little system they have set up spend
it. Not on programs. i will watch the meeting on tv. I can only hope this comes out well for
the community. I went to LAFCO because this District is not operating for the people. It
would be a travesty if it were allowed to continue.

Subject
Rancho Rinconada Recreation and Park District Survey Results and Options for
Additional Community Outreach.
Recommended Action
Review results from the Rancho Rinconada survey administered in March (2020) and
discuss options for additional community outreach.
Discussion
The Parks and Recreation Department distributed a survey to the 1,295 Rancho
Rinconada Recreation and Park District(RRRPD)households in March of 2020.
The survey was available from March 7111—23rd and had a response rate of 3.9%
(50 households).
The Rancho Rinconada subcommittee was provided an overview of the survey,which
includes how the survey was distributed, response rates, survey questions and survey
results (Attachment A). After reviewing the survey results, the subcommittee
recommended to facilitate additional community outreach to provide the Commission
with a better understanding of the community's response to the topic.
Staff are asking the Commission to recommend how to proceed with community
outreach. The March survey can be redistributed to gather additional responses, or the
Commission can recommend changes to the survey before opening it to the public. Staff
recommends that the redistributed survey be open to all residents rather than RRRPD
residents exclusively, as all residents will be impacted by any decisions made.
Sustainability Impact
No sustainability impact.
Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impact.

A-Rancho Rinconada Survey Overview
Survey Questions:Rancho Rinconada Recreation and Park District
Call to Action:Let us know what you want for the future of Rancho Rinconada Recreation and Park
District
Survey Introduction:Last year,the Santa Clara County Local Agency Formation Commission(LAFCO)
commissioned a report—at the request of a few Rancho Rinconada Recreation and Park District(District)
residents—to consider the District being dissolved and absorbed by the City of Cupertino(City).If the
City were to absorb the District,this action would not impact property taxes on Cupertino homes within
the District.More information can be found at cupertino.org/ranchorinconada.
The main distribution and outreach method to let the Rancho Rinconada Recreation and Park District
(RRRPD)residents know about the survey was hand delivering a letter to all 1,295 households within the
RRRPD.This was done to keep the outreach to only RRRPD residents as best we could.
Alternatively,we created a webpage(http://cupertino.org/ranchorinconada)dedicated to the RRRPD
project and an eNotification group with six subscribers.eNotification were sent to this group about the
opening and closing dates of the survey(March 7h—23rd).Survey respondents who opted into the
eNotification group have not yet been added.

The Cupertino City Council is asking the Parks &Recreation Commission to consider the
two options below as described in the special study.
10. Option 1:Maintain RRRPD's Current Governance (Status Quo) —RRRPD remains intact as an
independent recreation and park district, and continues to be governed by an independent Board
of Directors.
Do you have any concerns about Option 1?
Conflict of interest, lack of transparency and accountability
No concerns. I think the district is fine as it is.
Having a separate RRRPD board is a waste of resources and funds; maintenance of the property
seems to have fallen off
No,we like this idea
Yes, Next Door had a lot of info about misappropriated funds...
Having reliable board members, non-biased and actually spend time getting to know the facility.
My concern is that the size of the special district, in terms of personnel needed to operate and govern
and use of funds, is inefficient versus the benefits of merging into the bigger Cupertino organization.
Yes-the employees (lifeguards) said they were not being paid regularly. We wanted to rent the
facility space for a birthday last year and were unable to due to poor management.
No. I prefer this option.
I see no reason why this special district exists and why it should not be absorbed. It is open to people
outside our district; it also is not terribly economical; its finances do not have great transparency and
seem too expensive; the board members aren't especially great governors; management of the pool
is not very experienced;the swim lessons program contract seems to be run by friends or family
members, increasing issues regarding transparency. I feel it belongs to the Cupertino or Santa Clara
community and can benefit from the city or county's legal, compliance,financial, and pool
management standards.
Maintenance and development of facilities and programs lacking due to ineffective leadership
No oversight with this option. Corruption among those in charge has run unabated over the last 20
years.
I worry about safety. People use the pool when it's closed and without a lifeguard.the pool right now
isn't serving the community with programs the community asked for.Also,the administrative costs
are rising.
does not function for community's benefit
Yes, it looks to me like the facility is currently use,for the most part, as the private play ground of
those that run it.
YES
Bad option
Concerned about long term viability of district independence due to small size.
Yes. I am not happy about the way the funds are managed and the programs offered.
No, I like how things are managed now.
Poor governance; lack of transparency
Corruption, poor management, misuse of staff and facilities, used for personal use of few, cliques
within management with preferred treatment to a selected few, hidden shady practices, meetings are
corrupt, one sided, overall pulling wool over public and govt eyes
No-This option strongly preferred
No oversight by a specific agency of the Board/Management
I do not support option 1. (1 am very concerned with the current Governance.)
Yes,too much effort and board does not really have time to do a good job.
Who overseas the budget aside from the BON
i like this idea
11. Option 2:Merger of RRRPD with the City of Cupertino—RRRPD would be dissolved and its
functions,services, assets,and liabilities transferred to the City of Cupertino. The City would
integrate RRRPD programs and facilities into current City operations and recreation planning.
This option assumes that RRRPD's current property tax allocation would be transferred to the
City, and that all RRRPD services would be maintained at current levels(or better).
Do you have any concerns about Option 2?
Seems MUCH better than what we have now
Yes, several. Currently a part of our property tax is used exclusively for RRRPD and receive discount at
Rancho for it. We would not be willing to continue paying the tax if district merges with city as we will
not be sure that our funds are used for RR district. Also, we live in the private community where RR
facility is located.This will create a major safety and security issue,with city driving more people to
this tiny facility. It will also create extra traffic, parking issues and nuisance to this private community.
If city ends up taking over this facility, city would have to approve of this community becoming a
gated community and be prepared of entry and exit only being from Bollinger Rd. Also, RR district has
an agreement with the Barrington Bridge community since it was built regarding several factors
including free facility usage for board meetings and neighborhood events. City would have to honor
this agreement. I see no benefits at all in city taking over this district.
This would be acceptable over the current management
Yes
We dont like city take over, it always end ugly
Much better idea given the sketchy history
Cupertino
I believe the city would not have the pool be open year-round,which would effect summer staffing as
year round employees would be less inclined to stay. Rancho's swim team quality of swimmers and
training would also be neglected.
No, I support Option 2 to be implemented as soon as possible.
Yes the facility is already crowded with just special district members.
Cupertino
Yes. I do not want Cupertino to take the Special District as an asset. I do not want the one million
dollars in assets transferred to the city or General Fund. If the city does this, I want the Special District
to become a park site.That means that the buildings are taken down and the pool filled in and the
land becomes a city park for Rancho Rinconada and the East side of Cupertino.
Yes,this would be a huge risk to the safety of our kids who play on the streets, due to increased
traffic. As it is we have enough non-residents who use our streets as short-cuts and speed through
them. If it is decided to transfer over to the city, then we should make our community a gated one to
keep it separate from the center.
I think the existing structure works well.
No. this seems to be the best plan.
Cupertino
Cupertino
Yes. I don't know how the traffic would impact the Richonada community. Especially the security and
the usage of the private roads.
Cupertino
Milpitas
Yes
We live in the community adjacent to the community center(Barrington Bridge). We are concerned
about increased traffic and folks illegally parking in our community. We would like to know what the
city plans to do to address this issue. We have a lot people parking in our community and there is no
enforcement from the city.
Yes, I have concerns for the kids safety, increase in traffic as we use to lane across frequently.
Yes
Yes
This appears to be a scam aimed at putting property taxes paid by Ranch Riconada residents into the
Cupertino general fund.
I assume this can be done with out my taxes going up.
I think the tax allocation should be reallocated not just to the city but could be use for other things
like library, school, etc. Make the total tax amount that goes to the city comparable to other residents
in Cupertino. Or if the residents pay more than they should get a substantial discount on the services
at the pool.
Cupertino
we do NOT want RRRPD being dissolved and absorbed by the city of Cupertino. We would like to keep
RRRPD as an independent recreation and park district since we want to keep the current service
No. I think this is the best move.
Yes,too much uncertainty with change since I like how things are managed now.
Currently, RRRPD residents are assessed a tax that other Cupertino residents are not, and are
rewarded with reduced fees when using the facilities. If all Cupertino residents pay the same fees for
usage,then all Cupertino residents should be assessed the same property tax. That's fair.
Best option
Yes. I do have concerns about Option 2.
Yes-strongly oppose option 2. Concerned with additional traffic and security issues. City needs to
make Barrington bridge community gated if city takes iver RR. Kids play in the streets- high risk with
significantly increased traffic if it becomes city run. Major nuisance to residents. RR was private-thats
why we decided to move to Barrington bridge. Cannot change terms of RR now. Residents will
havevto review legal options if this changes.
Employee salaries and benefits
I would like the swimming pool and other facilities to be kept open without interruption.
I support option 2.
No, but would like RRRPD to be upgraded and maintained well.
Always thought it was run by the City, so was surprised to see that it wasn't
How will it be assured that the tax allocation would only go to this property?
Yes
12. Based upon your knowledge of District and the governance options presented in the special
study,would you prefer to see Option 1 or Option 2?
• Option 1 —27/34%
• Option 2—51 /65%
• NA-1 /1%
13. Please share any additional comments,your feedback is important to us.
Having read about the dissatisfaction of the board's actions on next-door.com, I hope that you adopt
option 2 and bring back some sanity.
For years,we have not been told how our tax money was spent on that tiny facility. It is time to get it
under the sun.
I strongly feel that this district is good the way it is. It does not need to be taken over by the city.
I believe the city could take better advantage of this recreation site.
We like Rancho independent
The place is chaotic. We visit other neighbor pools and avoid Rancho specifically. It would be nice to
improve it.
Integrating the special district, which primarily is located within and serves Cupertino citizens and
residents, into the city of Cupertino makes perfect sense.The district is a legacy of the previous
Rancho Rinconado separate status within the county prior to the City of Cupertino annexing the area.
It's time to merge this special district as well into the city.
Option one- keep things the same as they are now is the best course of action.
Combining it with city will add complexity in the management and may lost the dedicated focus and
attention as of today
I'm very disappointed in the board members currently serving,the fallout and angry attacks they
placed on outgoing board members who resigned for health & personal reasons-with that kind of
behavior I see only burdensome overhead and inexperience in running this entity. I don't even think
it's worth the expense to run an election for the board members.This entity should be run by the city.
I think RRRPD should be dissolved and its functions and services transferred to the City
Barrington Bridge community had a discounted access to the facility. I am concerned we will loose
that and in addition. New traffic will go through the community and will adversely impact the security
on the neighborhood. Will city take over the maintenance of the road/landscaping?
We live in the community adjacent to the community center(Barrington Bridge). We are concerned
about increased traffic and folks illegally parking in our community. We would like to know what the
city plans to do to address this issue. We have a lot people parking in our community and there is no
enforcement from the city.
Leave our park alone
Do not change if you are 100 percent sure that you can do it better. Show proof that you can do it
better. If option 2 is selected. Please make sure that you need to have proof showing that option 2
will serve local residents better than it's now.
Having City of Cupertino in charge will ensure efficiencies of scale are employed and proper oversight
is exercised. We also will be much more aware of the facility unlike its almost invisible presence up
until now.
more investigation needs to be done about the financials not matching up. Lafco studies said for years
that there is overlap with the Cupertino Parks and Recs and the Rancho Special District. Let's
consolidate and make this pool serve the community its been paying millions to for years.
would like more programs for senior activities senior swim water aerobics and more community
activities for east side.
we are happy and satisfied with all the service that our current swim team support to us. Keep RRRPD
independently is beneficial for all our residence
I think the city could run the facility in a fashion that will be of much greater benefit to the
community.
having the RRRPD aborpsed by the city will just take away the RRRPD facilities which is only paid for
by the RRRRPD households. Shame on the city trying to strong arm their way into this facility.
Rancho is a wonderful family swim center which serves the needs of the neighborhood well. Please
keep it from changing!
Bring back the aqua excercise classes!
I enjoy the pool and would like to learn swimming there. It is a community asset.
It doesn't seem like a proper audit was done. Audit firm used was located in Sacramento, it wasn't
even local.
a)The illegally run after school program and its subsequent closure, b) corruption allegations about
the use of swimming pool - all points to one thing.The current management must go.
Important to improve pool facility as that is the main draw. Also, incorporate schedules into
Recreation System for easier awareness building.
As a long time resident of Rancho, we love the idea of the RRRPD. Have not used it much since our
kids have grown up, but feel it adds a lot to creating a community within our neighborhood.
we love this place!!!

Strategic Plan
Discussion
The Citywide Parks and Recreation System Master Plan adopted February 2020 provides
a framework for establishing priorities and decision-making as the next steps of the
Strategic Plan are determined. Items for consideration to guide the process are:
• Fiscal Year 2019/20 Funded Projects carried to Fiscal Year 2020/21
• Fiscal Year 2020/21 Funded Projects
• Considerations for the Strategic Plan
• Evaluating Sites for Strategic Plan Implementation
• Options for Moving Forward
Due to the impacts of COVID-19, significant reductions were made to the Capital
Improvement Program. An update on the Capital Improvement Program will be
provided as it pertains to the funding for the Parks and Recreation Department's
outdoor spaces and facility enhancements. The Parks and Recreation Commission is
being asked to provide input on the following Strategic Plan considerations:
Citywide Satellite Gardens: Identify and recommend potential sites for satellite
community gardens.
Prospective Dog off Leash Area (DOLA) Locations: Identify and recommend
potential sites for Dog Off Leash Areas.
Park Amenity Improvements: Identify and recommend potential sites for
improved amenities such as benches,hydration stations, outdoor table tennis,
cornhole, shade (structures and/or trees), pickleball striping,etc.
The Commission is being asked how best to approach the review of the large inventory
of City parks.Potential ways to evaluate the parks would be by location, such as east
side parks;oldest parks in the city;evaluate all parks;evaluate in specific batches; or
have sub-groups evaluate parks. Input is requested so that a priority list of projects may
be determined.
Sustainability Impact
No sustainability impact.
Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impact.
