Diane Furst Considering an upcoming early renewal of the '/2 cent transportation sales tax, TAM is in Fairfax the process of educational outreach to Cities and Towns to provide information on the draft .john Reed proposal. TAM is seeking input on the Draft Plan, such as responses to the following: Larkspur * Does this new Draft Expenditure Plan meet the needs of your jurisdiction?What are Dan I-lillmer your key priorities? Mill /alley • What other information do you need to support the plan in the future?Details on trip Stephanie Moulton-Peters reduction,greenhouse gas emissions reduction,travel time benefits and other metrics Novato can all be made available for your assessment of whether to support. Eric Gucan • What flexibility would you like to see in the program?Could you support a re-set of the plan every 10 years, or more frequently? Staff at TAM can present examples on Ross how that would be done. P. Beach Kuhl . What additional organizations or local interests should be consulted regarding the San Anselmo plan? Brian Colbert Background San Rafael Gary Phillips Measure A,Marin's '/2-cent Transportation Sales Tax,is a critical local funding source that generates approximately $25 million each year to support our local transportation needs. Ray Withy 5The Measure was passed by over 71% of Marin voters in 2004 and funds are spent in Ray W accordance with the 20-year Measure A Transportation Sales Tax Expenditure Plan. Tiburon Alice Fredericks The expenditure plan is now nearly 15 years old and the TAM Board of Commissioners has been considering early renewal of the sales tax measure to respond to current needs County of Mann and adjusting how the funds can be spent moving forward. Renewing the transportation Damon Connolly sales tax would create an ongoing reliable stream of revenue for much needed projects and Katie Rice Kathrin Sears programs. Dennis Rodoni Judy Arnold During the first quarter of last year,TAM visited local jurisdictions to provide educational briefings to and introduce the idea of renewing and possibly increasing our county-wide transportation sales tax. These briefings focused on providing information about the projects and programs supported by the current sales tax and receiving feedback from elected officials and residents on priorities and unmet needs. The idea of legislatively increasing the statewide sales tax cap to enable an increase in the transportation sales tax was initially discussed,then abandoned. Making the Most of Marin County Transportation Dollars Letter to Greg Chanis April 11, 2018 A baseline poll was conducted in May 2017 to gauge public opinion on renewing the '/2-cent sales tax or potentially increasing of the sales tax to 3/4-cent. The poll demonstrated considerably more support for renewing the sales tax rather than increasing the sales tax,with 72%of likely 2018 voters supporting renewal of the existing t/2-cent transportation sales tax and a range from 60.8%to 66.9% supporting an increase to 3/4- cent. In January 2018,a second poll was taken,specifically addressing a renewal of the current sales tax and testing the features of a Draft Sales Tax Renewal Expenditure Plan, along with supportive informational statements and critical statements. The results of this second poll will be reviewed. Proposal Overview Back in June 2017, the TAM Board approved the formation and membership of a Transportation Sales Tax Expenditure Plan Advisory Committee (EPAC). The EPAC is comprised of 24 community members representing a broad range of neighborhood, business, civic and advocacy interests in Marin County. The EPAC met between June and December 2017 to develop a plan to renew the existing I/2-cent transportation sales tax and consider expanding the sales tax to 3/4-cent. The membership of that Committee is attached. The EPAC reviewed the baseline poll results, received broad education about the current 1/2-cent transportation sales tax and learned from a variety of agencies about current transportation programs and unmet transportation needs. Based on this information, the EPAC developed a draft expenditure a plan that culminated with a consensus recommendation to pursue a 30-year extension of the current '/2-cent sales tax to be placed on the ballot in November of 2018. The new Expenditure Plan would take effect immediately, replacing the existing plan. A 2/3rds approval of those voting would be required. A chart and factsheets detailing the committee recommendations are attached. Primary goals of the 1/2-cent plan are to keep the core structure of the existing expenditure plan and expand much needed congestion relief programs. Although there were diverse interests represented by the EPAC, the committee reached consensus and demonstrated a strong commitment to building from the current successful transportation sales tax measure, keeping the core structure and maintaining the top-line funding percentages: • 7.5%to Highway and Interchange Improvements • 26.5 %to Local Streets and Roads • 11%to Safe Routes to Schools, Education, Infrastructure and Crossing Guards • 55%to Local, Rural, Student and Special Needs Transit With No New Taxes the Proposal Would: • Respond to current needs and adjust how the funds can be spent moving forward • Continue a reliable stream of local revenue into the future to enable long-term planning • Maintain and expand successful projects and programs, including the Safe Routes to Schools programs, local road maintenance and local transit • Expand school-related transit and yellow bus programs • Prevent cuts in the current Crossing Guard program • Provide a local funding source for key operational improvement projects including the Marin- Sonoma Narrows and the Northbound US-101 to Eastbound I-580 Direct Connector • Leverage other regional, state and federal funding for needed transportation improvements • Provide seed funding for projects related to sea-level rise, innovative technologies and for support of mobility concepts for first/last mile transit solutions and peak hour demand management Letter to Greg Chanis April 11, 2018 In addition to recognizing the importance of continuing this local funding source, the committee also recognized the current tax-sensitive climate. To protect and maintain the existing sales tax and associated programs,the committee did not think it was prudent to try to increase the tax. They recognized the changes in our transportation environment and the need to adjust how funds are being spent. They also acknowledged the rapidly changing landscape of transportation and mobility choices and therefore recommend having milestone review opportunities every 10 years to adjust plan elements to address future conditions. Follow-up Poll A follow-up poll was conducted in January 2018. The follow-up poll explored renewing the existing Transportation Sales Tax,testing over 750 likely voters for a November 2018 ballot measure in Marin County. The 2018 follow-up poll confirmed that transportation issues and traffic congestion continue to be top concerns of Marin County residents. There is great interest in transportation issues and solutions. The 2018 poll results show strong support for renewing the transportation sales tax with support from likely 2018 voters at 77.9%, and after a series of critical statements were presented, 73.2%. Next Steps At this time,TAM is seeking additional input from TAM's member agencies-the cities,towns and county of Marin- on the proposed Transportation Sales Tax Renewal Expenditure Plan. Based on input from agencies and residents from this ongoing outreach, TAM staff will write and refine a detailed Final Draft Transportation Sales Tax Renewal Expenditure Plan. In April or early May, the TAM Board will consider voting on the Final Draft Transportation Sales Tax Renewal Expenditure Plan and will decide whether to direct staff to seek approval from all 12 local jurisdictions on the Final Draft Transportation Sales Tax Renewal Expenditure Plan. For the Transportation Sales Tax Renewal Expenditure Plan to be placed on the ballot for consideration by voters in November 2018, the 75-word ballot argument and Expenditure Plan must be submitted to the Registrar of Voters no later than August 10,2018.The TAM Board would need to act no later than July 2018, allowing time for the Marin County Board of Supervisors to make a final decision on whether to put the measure on the November 2018 ballot. TAM appreciates feedback from your council.

Reappointments/Appointments to Town Boards & Commissions — Consider reappointment of commissioners whose terms have expired or appointment of new 7'ol4)n Council Minutes #07-2018 DRAFT March 21, 2018 Page 3 members to boards & commissions (Town Clerk Stefani) Town Clerk Stefani said the terms of eight existing board and commission members had expired at the end of February,and all but three individuals have indicated they would like to be reappointed to another term. She said Jerry Thompson (Building Code Appeals Board) and Vince De Quattro (Heritage & Arts Commission) are not seeking an additional term, and the resignation of Councilmember Jon Weiner from the Planning Commission also created an additional vacancy on the Planning Commission. She said the Council had also interviewed four new applicants for two open seats on the Planning Commission, and one new applicant for one open seat on the Parks, Open Space and Trails Commission. She recommended the Council first consider reappointments of existing board and commission members whose terms have expired and seek reappointment, and then consider making any new appointments to the Planning Commission or Parks, Open Space and Trails Commission. MOTION: To reappoint the following commissioners whose terms expired on February 28, 2018: Fran Hall (Heritage & Arts Commission), Azita de Mujica-Beavers (Heritage & Arts Commission), Isaac Nikfar (Parks, Open Space and Trails Commission), Park Allen (Parks, Open Space and Trails Commission), and John Corcoran (Planning Commission); and to direct staff to continue to advertise to fill the remaining vacancies on Town Boards and Commissions. Moved: Fredericks, seconded by Thier VOTE: AYES: Fraser, Fredericks, Kulik, Thier ABSENT: Weiner The Council moved on to discuss filling the single vacancy left on the Planning Commission,and a discussion about the attributes of the four new applicants followed. Councilmember Fredericks said all applicants had unique attributes,and believed Kathleen Defever to be uniquely qualified listening to individuals' needs. She nominated Kathleen Defever to the Planning Commission. Mayor Fraser echoed Councilmember Fredericks' comments, and seconded the nomination for Kathleen Defever. Councilmember Thier thanked the applicants and encouraged anyone not appointed to stay involved. Vice Mayor Kulik also spoke to the attributes of each applicant. He believed Kristina Wollan's application to be compelling, and asked the rest of the Council for their opinion. Councilmember Thier agreed that Kristina Wollan would be an excellent Planning Commissioner due to her unique perspective from her professional life. Councilmember Fredericks agreed,but said she would vote for Kathleen Defever.Ma}or Fraser then called for a roll call vote.

Stock said the ad hoc subcommittee created for the performance evaluation had recommended several salary adjustments including a salary and merit increase, an increase in housing allowance and a retention incentive. Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment. Ron Zimmerman asked what a retention incentive is. Stock explained it is similar to a "bonus", meant to be competitive with other city managers in the area.

McKegney Green Project — Discuss bids received on McKegney Green Restoration Project and provide staff direction on how to proceed (Department of Public Works) Town Council Minutes#07-2018 DRAFT Allarch 21, 2018 Page 5 Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Barnes said the Council had discussed the best design for McKegney Green over several Town Council meetings, and after much discussion, decided on a design with an estimated cost of$1.8 million. Director Barnes said that given the cost of the project,the Council decided to utilize private funds to pay for a portion of the project, and agreed on a $400,000 private contribution. At the Town Council's most recent meeting on this matter,the Tiburon Peninsula Soccer Club(TPSC)guaranteed they had raised the $400,000, and the project was put out to bid. Barnes said bids all came in over estimate. He said the second highest bidder had an error in their bid, and when the error was corrected, that contractor became the low bidder. He said the original low bidder then filed a bid protest. Barnes explained that after analysis, staff made the determination to uphold the bid protest, and recommended Suarez & Munoz Construction, Inc., as contractor. Barnes said the other factor to consider tonight was that the project came in over budget, and to move forward,the Town Council will need to allocate an additional $245,000 to the project,and the TPSC will need to provide the agreed-upon $400,000. He said the Town has received $200,000 to date from the TPSC. Barnes also reminded the Council of the maintenance costs of the field. He said the Council had three options to consider: award the project,put the project back out to bid, or redesign the project.He said if the Council opts for a redesign,staff recommends appointed an ad hoc subcommittee to discuss the matter fully. Councilmember Fredericks asked about the legal ramifications of the bid protest. Town Attorney Stock said the issued had been analyzed, and staff believes the bid protest should be upheld. He said however, the Council may choose to reject all bids to avoid risk entirely. Vice Mayor Kulik asked if there was any chance the project could be completed this construction season if it were to be rebid or redesigned. Barnes said if the project was rebid,it would probably be completed this year,but there would likely be no fall play. He said if the project were redesigned, it would be difficult to complete this construction season. Councilmember Thier and Director Barnes discussed the details of the bid protest, and Director Barnes confirmed the contract award is to Suarez & Munoz Construction, the original low bidder. Fredericks asked about the impact of having a less of a crown reduction on the playability of the field. Director Barnes said the current slope of the field is 4-5%, and the ideal maximum crown of a field is 2% slope for player benefit and better drainage. Mayor Fraser asked why the TPSC had only provided $200,000 of the agreed-upon $400,000, and asked staff to elaborate on the agreement that had been made. Town Council Minutes #07-2018 DRAFT March 21, 2018 Page 6 Town Manager Chanis said there had been no written agreement with the TPSC, but the Council's direction and communication had been clear that the full $400,000 needed to be in hand prior to the Council awarding the construction contract, as is standard procedure for funding a project. Fredericks said the TPSC had agreed to the Council's proposal to fundraise$400,000,and there had been no change in terms of the agreement. Chanis agreed. He said staff had requested assurance that the TPSC was able to raise the full $400,000 before putting the project out to bid, and based on that assurance, the Council had directed staff to bid the project. Fraser said staff had done a thorough review of the project, and found ways to save money. He suggested a reserve account to put money aside every year to fund the maintenance. Chanis agreed. Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment. Roy Crumrine questioned if removing the crown on the field would be worth the extra cost. Vicki Sodaro, Vice President of the TPSC, said the soccer club did not understand they were supposed to raise the full $400,000, and expressed concern about what would happen to the private funds if the project doesn't move forward. Mayor Fraser closed the floor. Fredericks asked if the existing field had always been a sand-based field with the crown. Barnes clarified that there is a much smaller sand-based area there now, but it has never been properly maintained, and confirmed the crown has always been there. Kulik asked if the additional allocation will be funded out of the unallocated general fund reserve. Chanis said that was the most likely source of the funds,and a discussion about utilizing those funds followed. Fredericks commented that this fund serves as a"safety net"for the Town for unexpected expenses, and Chanis also explained that the original $1.4 million expenditure had already been accounted for in the budget. Thier asked the Town Manager about his conversations with the TPSC about fundraising the agreed- upon $400,000. Chanis explained his surprise that there was a misunderstanding, and said staff and the Council had been clear that prior to the execution of the project, all funds, including the TPSC's contribution,had to be received. Chanis clarified that if the Town was to receive private donations, and the project didn't go forward, the money would be returned to the entity that provided it. Mayor Fraser agreed, and asked the Council to consider a conditional approval that would require the $400,000 to be in hand before proceeding further. Chanis said the Council can conditionally approve the project contingent upon the full funding being provided by the TPSC.He said the Council should consider the fact that the bids will expire in May when crafting a deadline. Town Council Minutes 907-2018 DRAFT March 21, 2018 Page 7 Fredericks and the Town had been helpful in trying to move this project forward, and had communicated their expectations about having the $400,000 contribution in hand. She wondered if the failure to deliver the funds signified a lack of community support that would justify the expenditure of a more-expensive sand-based field. She expressed certainty that the contribution needs to be delivered before the Council awards any bids or moves forward with the project. Thier commented that if the Council decides to not move forward to with the project tonight and fall play on the field is at risk, she could advocate for throwing out the bids due to increased liability from the bid protest. Kulik said the land is meant to be enjoyed as recreation space, and believed the Council should ensure the best use of it. He said many Council meetings have passed and agreements and decisions have been made, and the Council should follow through on its promise to fix the field. He said the project will never be cheaper than it is right now, and to delay any further would continue to delay play on the field, but any approval should be contingent on the private funds in hand. Fraser said the field stands out as a landmark in Tiburon. He agreed with the Vice Mayor that the project will never be cheaper than it is now,and said the Council and staff have done a thorough and financially responsible review. The Mayor expressed disappointment there had been confusion about the private fundraising expectations, and agreed that approval should be contingent on the full funding amount in hand. Fraser felt the Town Attorney had properly handled the bid protest issue, and supported moving the project forward contingent on the money coming in immediately. Thier agreed, and spoke in support of"doing the field right this time". Fredericks agreed,and said the Town's commitment was clearly contingent on a private contribution. Town Attorney Stock suggested imposing a hard deadline for the TPSC to provide the funds,prior to the date of the bids expiring in May. Fredericks asked what the next step would be if the promised $400,000 is not delivered and the Council does not award the bid. Director Barnes said the Council had previously discussed this scenario, and decided that the field would be made into a dirt-based field. Kulik wondered what deadline should be imposed to guarantee fall play on the field.Barnes said the timeline is already extremely tight, and fall play on the field cannot be guaranteed even now. A discussion on the best deadline to impose,with or without imposing on fall play,followed.He said the other factor to consider is the existing bids expire on May 8, 2018. The Council discussed requiring the fiends to be delivered to the Town as early as the following week to begin construction on the field as soon as possible, or giving the soccer club an extra several weeks which would very likely result in no fall play on the field. Town Attorney Stock advised that if the soccer club is provided a later deadline,it is likely that their Town Council Minutes 907-2018 DRAFT March 21, 2018 Page 8 representative present tonight wi 11 pass on the information that any delay of delivery of the promised funds will continue to put fall play at risk. The Council agreed, and Mayor Fraser said this decision should be clearly memorialized and a written agreement be made. Town Manager Chanis recommended an April 20 deadline, and the Council agreed. MOTION: To award the project to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, Suarez&Munoz Construction, Inc., contingent on the Tiburon Peninsula Soccer Club providing the frill $400,000 fundraising amount, on or before April 20, 2018, and authorize a budget amendment in the amount of$245,000; if the Tiburon Peninsula Soccer Club is unable to deliver full $400,000 fundraising amount by the April 20,2018 deadline,the Council will hear this item again on May 2, 2018 to consider rejecting all bids.

"Social Host" Ordinance — Consider amendments to the Tiburon Municipal Code to update the Town's existing regulations regarding parties or gatherings at which alcohol, marijuana, or other controlled substances are served to persons under 21 years of age— Introduction and first reading of ordinance Chief of Police Cronin asked the Council to consider repealing and replacing two ordinances relating to "social host"laws and consolidate them into a single chapter in the Municipal Code. He said the existing ordinances are out of date and difficult to enforce, and the new ordinances are comprehensive and consistent with other social host ordinances throughout Marin County. He said the most significant update is that the update includes substances other than alcohol, and expands the defined gathering locations to rental runts,party buses,and other conveyances.He said the new ordinance also increases some penalties. and the remedies for violation have also been updated to include a referral to a restorative justice program. Chief Cronin also recommended the Council add an amendment to their motion to include watercrafts as a place for juvenile gatherings. Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment. Laurie Dubin,founder of Be the Influence,spoke in support of the proposed ordinance and making it more comprehensive. She said her nonprofit tries to tackle the problem from the parental side, but needs additional help from law enforcement. She suggested the Police Department issue press releases of social host violations to show the seriousness of enforcement. Town Council Minutes #07-2018 DRAFT Allarch 21, 201S Page 9 Mayor Fraser closed the floor. Councilmember Thier made the following amendments to the ordinance: • Section 22-30,Line 146 to read: "...provisions of this section do not apply when the Minor is emancipated within the meaning of the California Family Code..." • Section 22-30, Line 150 to read: "...returning directly home from an educational or school- related activity, a recreational, religious, political, or cultural activity..." • Section 22-70, Line 183 to remove `'guilty of..." • Section 22-80 in its entirety to read: "Any person assisting, aiding, abetting, permitting or encouraging any Minor to violate any of the provisions of this article is guilty of a violation of this Code." The rest of the paragraph will be deleted. Vice Mayor Kulik made a grammatical correction to the ordinance, and suggested the relevant references to the word "City" be changed to "Town". Kulik also asked if the fines are increasing as a deterrent or as a result of the increasing cost of police services. Chief Cronin said the fines are punitive and are not related to the cost of police services. MOTION: To introduce the ordinance and read by title only, waiving further reading, schedule for adoption at the next regular meeting and motion to hold a roll call vote on the introduction of the ordinance, as amended by recommendations of Councilmember Thier and Chief of Police Cronin.

He said property owners may change their vote prior to the end of the Public Hearing if they wish, Town Council Minutes 1107-2018 DRAFT March 21, 2018 Page 10 Chanis said the Town Council will recess for the vote tabulation, which will occur in the adjoining conference room. He said the district engineer and staff will conduct the vote count, and the Town Attorney will observe. He said the vote count will be available for view in real time on the screen in the Council Chambers for everyone to follow along. After the vote count is complete,the Council will reconvene and staff will report the vote results,and the Council will have the opportunity to deliberate and consider the appropriate resolution based on the result of the vote. Finally, Chanis showed a simplified project timeline if there is not a majority protest and the Council proceeds with the project, and briefly reviewed financing information :for property owners. He also reminded property owners of their responsibility to install the lateral connections before the poles are removed. Mayor Fraser opened the Public Hearing. Ron Zimmerman asked if property owners that have already had their connections undergrounded as part of a construction project will have satisfied the lateral requirement.Chanis confirmed this point, as long as electric, telephone and cable lines were all undergrounded. Paras Fancy, Virginia Drive, spoke in support of the safety benefits of the project, and encouraged the Town Council to consider policy revisions to help neighborhoods get past initial hurdles of forming an undergrounding district. Mayor Fraser closed the Public Hearing, and the Town Council went into recess for the vote tabulation at 9:55 p.m. The Town Council reconvened at 10:10 p.m., and the Town Clerk reported the results of the vote _ tabulation as follows: 21 ballots were tabulated, representing a total assessment amount of $1,576,578.70. 17 ballots were counted in favor, representing a total assessment amount of $1,305,364.46 and 82.8%. 4 ballots were counted in opposition, representing a total assessment amount of$271,214.24 and 17.2%.

PRESENTATION • Sue Kwentus, Tiburon representative to the Marin Commission on Aging "Age Friendly Cities" Commissioner on Aging Sue Kwentus said it had been approximately a year since the Town Council appointed her to the Commission on Aging, and she reported on some of the normal business of the Commission:monthly informational speakers,an annual senior fair,weekday lunches overseen by a nutrition and health committee, and encouraging the cities in Marin to become "age-friendly". She said many cities in Marin County are becoming "age-friendly" and becoming certified by the World Health Organization, and to do so,the Town must do an assessment of their local community and take into account several different factors. These factors include: outdoor spaces,transportation. housing, social participation, respect and social inclusion, civic participation and employment. communication and information, and community support and health services. . Commissioner Kwentus concluded her presentation by reviewing the steps taken by several other cities in Marin County to become age-friendly,and encouraged the Council to begin the assessment. Totivn Council Miniaes #09-2018 DRAFT April#, 2018 Page 1 Mayor Fraser asked for clarification about the assessment process.Commissioner Kwentus explained that the evaluation process could be as involved as an intensive survey of local seniors. or the Council could create a working group to analyze the required factors. Vice Mayor Kulik asked Commissioner Kwentus if she believed there was a specific factor that she believed Tiburon needed to improve.

Tiburon Peninsula Traffic Relief Joint Powers Authority — Discussion regarding possible modified contract with First Student and potential increased cost to Town(Town Manager Chanis) Town Manager Chanis explained the Town's partnership with the City of Belvedere and the Reed Union School District to create the Yellow Bus Challenge, with the goal to reduce traffic during school times and provide safe and reliable transportation to school. He said the contract with First Student to provide bus service has several years remaining, but the JPA Board would like to explore the possibility of modifying, extending or starting a new contract that would include stronger penalties for service disruptions and new buses for the next school year. He said potential benefits include a decrease in service disruptions,enhanced safety with seatbelts on all the new buses, and potential increase in pass sales. He said this new contract would require a Town Council Minutes 409-2018 DRAFT April 4, 2018 Page 2 significant increase in subsidy from the Town in the FYI 8-19 budget. Councilmember Fredericks and Chanis discussed the new penalties for service disruptions, and Chanis made several clarifications about incentivizing driver attendance and the cost of the contractor ensuring substitute drivers are available or to minimize service disruptions. Vice Mayor Kulik commented that the biggest hurdle for the Yellow Bus Challenge seems to be the reliability of buses, and asked if there was another dedicated use for the proposed funds. Chanis agreed, and further clarified that the reason for having this discussion now would be to ensure the new buses are ordered and ready for the new school year. Chanis also confirmed there was no stated purpose for the reserve funds in question. Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment. There was none. Mayor Fraser said spoke in support of the work the JPA has done on the Yellow Bus Challenge. He said the community has benefited from reduced congestion, and the bus has created another opportunity for community socialization. He said the Town has much to be proud of with this program, including a good relationship with the bus provider.Fraser believed new buses will create a safer ride for school children and a sense of pride for bus drivers. He said this expenditure would help to build a better program, and was in support. Fredericks expressed reservations about subsidizing the bus service to such an extent (because the bus service benefits the entire community)and the assumption that new buses will increase ridership. She said she would be in favor of further exploration about whether the community would be willing to help pay for the program, or if new buses would actually increase ridership. Kulik spoke to the benefits of socialization for children on buses,and said there is a potential for an increase in sense of enthusiasm about "riding the bus". He said the seatbelts will make the experience safer for riders and drivers.He shared Fredericks' concerns about cost,but believed there could be a correlation between improving the bus program and reducing traffic in Tiburon. Fredericks said she understood the time constraint on this decision, but expressed the desire to survey community members to confirm that this improvement actually would increase ridership. Chanis said the timing would be difficult to conduct a valid survey at this stage. Fredericks inquired further about different contract options. Chanis explained that the bus company has indicated preference for a longer term contract before investing the capital in the new buses,but said the existing contract is still valid for several more years. He clarified that the purpose for this change now would be to order the new buses and have them ready for the new school year. Mayor Fraser believed the pricing of the bus contracts will continue to rise, so it would be wise to take action now. He said the contract would have been renegotiated to consider other safety and reliability factors, so the timing is right to make this improvement. Town Council A4inzites#09-2018 DRAFT April 4, 2018 Page 3 Fredericks said she would like to see the JPA consider the possibility that the rest of the community would be willing to contribute financially to the bus program, as the costs to the Town likely will continue to rise. She suggested a conditional approval that the JPA conduct this research. The Mayor said he would not support a conditional approval, and called for a motion.

Responding to this priority list,the Town undergrounded overhead lines along Tiburon Boulevard from Lyford Drive to roughly 750 feet west of the intersection in conjunction with the construction of the new parking lot. Another project was completed in 2015 that undergrounded the south side of Tiburon Boulevard from the Lyford parking lot to Mar West. Since 2014, staff has been working with PG&E to underground the utilities between Lyford and Ned's Way using the Town's rule 20A funds. This project would underground Tiburon Boulevard from Lyford Drive to about 880 feet west. It also includes about 250 feet of undergrounding on Lyford Drive. The project boundary includes a utility running through the school property. As this property is within the undergrounding district boundary it must be undergrounded. This significantly increased the estimated cost of construction. The undergrounding district includes approximately 1,781 feet of main trenching, 25 feet of service lateral trenching (trenching from property line to the panel on the property), and one panel conversion. In 2014,the ball-park planning level estimate for the project provided by PG&E was $925,980 of Rule 20A credits. The Town entered into an agreement with PG&E for them to do the design of the project, and in the FY 2017-18 budget, Council allocated$500,000 to the project to cover additional costs above the Town's Rule 20A balance of$910,000. This balance includes borrowing ahead against the next five years of allocations,the maximum borrow ahead allowed. In late December 2018, PG&E provided updated cost estimates based on 100%design. The estimated cost of the project, including contingency, was $2,493,673 of 20A credits. On January 17, 2018, Council directed the Town Manager to negotiate with other jurisdictions to obtain approximately$1,424,000 in Rule 20A. At that time staff estimated that credits could be purchased for approximately $0.50/credit. ToWN OF T nRUR.o PAGE 1 egg'.;4 Town Council Niceting Aril 18,20W On February 21, 2018, Council authorized the Town Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Rocklin to purchase $438,000 of PG&E Rule 20A credits for $109,000. That agreement has been executed. On March 7, 2018, Council authorized the Town Manager to execute the attached Memorandum of Understanding with the County of Trinity to purchase PG&E Rule 20A credits. The MOU with the County of Trinity consists of the following two components: • An agreement to purchase $700,000 worth of credits now, at a cost of.50/credit: and, • An option to purchase up to an additional $345,000 of Rule 20A credits, at a cost of $.50/credit. The option to purchase additional credits would expire on June 30, 2019. Staff has not yet executed this agreement. Recently, PG&E received bids for the project from contractors. The bids are well over the PG&E estimate. The total cost of the project, including contingency is now$3,744,556. Table 1 below summarizes the cost estimate history for the project. Table 1 - Cost Estimate istory Rule 20A Project 2014 2018 2018 no design 100% design Bid Base Estimate $1,931,665 $3,002,466 Contingency $561,972 $742,111 Total $925,980 $2,493,673 $3,744,566 Before the project can continue, the Town must secure sufficient Rule 20A credits to cover the base estimate, $3,002,466. In addition,there is a potential need to expend additional funds for contingency expenses totaling $742,111 credits. Assuming a cost of$0.50/credit, the total expenditure from General funds is shown in Table 2. Table 2 -Funds Needed for Rule 20A credits Rule 20A credits General Fund Cost Current Estimate w/o Contingency $3,002,446 Current Rule 20A Credit Balance $910,000 Purchased from City of Rocklin $438,000 $109,000 Available from Trinity County $1,045,000 $522,500 Additional Credits to Continue $609,446 $304,723 Subtotal $3,002,446 $936,223 Possible contingency $742,111 $371,056 Total Potential Project Cost $1,307,279 Staff has previously been told that the funding and property requirements for the project needed to be completed two months before construction. Construction must occur during the school summer recess beginning June 18th. Starting construction any later than June 18th risks Town Council Mee¢:in April 18,20tS construction near the school after school starts in the fall. Given this, April 18th is the drop-dead date for securing the necessary credits and for resolution of the property issues for construction to occur during 2018. In addition to the funding situation, both the Town and the Reed School District are waiting for PG&E to respond to comments on proposed easements documents required for the project to move forward. ANALYSIS The current cost of the project with contingency is now over four times the no-design ball park cost estimate,provided to the Town by PG&E in 2014 when Council decided to proceed with the project. It is 50%more than the cost presented to Council in January 2018. While this project has been a priority since 2005,the costs are more than anticipated due to the requirement to underground the wires over the school and,probably,the current bidding environment. PG&E solicited bids from four pre-qualified contractors. Two declined to put in bids, stating they were too busy with other work. The other two were very close, only about 6%percent apart. PG&E has not shared the bids, so staff cannot provide further analysis. Given the project schedule and the requirement to do the project during the school summer break, Staff believes it is virtually impossible to construct the project this summer. Therefore, if Council wishes to continue moving forward on this project, construction would occur no earlier than Summer 2019. In this scenario, PG&E would rebid the project in Spring 2019. We currently have a 100%design. This design will stay viable for a few years although changes may need to be made as new equipment standards are developed by the utilities. PG&E will continue to charge against the project as long as the project remains open. The only way to avoid these continuing charges is to close the project down. Currently, PG&E has expended about $140,000 in Rule 20A credits. Regarding Rule 20A in general, as noted above,the Town currently has $910,000 in credits (including borrow ahead)plus the $438,000 in credits purchased from Rocklin, for a total of $1,348,000 in credits. The Town receives just under$30,000 per year in additional credits. Over the past ten years Rule 20A costs have risen faster than general construction costs. Over the long term, general construction costs rise by about 3.5%per year. The amount Tiburon receives annually is insufficient to cover the cost of inflation for the amount of credits already owned. Therefore, it makes sense to use the credits soon. However, given the results on this project, it is uncertain that the Town can find a project that we can complete for under$1.4M. FINANCIAL IMPACT The FY 2017/18 CIP budget included $500,000 for this project in addition to the Town's $910,000 of available Rule 20A credits. To continue forward Council would need to allocate an additional $440,000 to the Rule 20A/2013 undergrounding project from the General Fund Infrastructure. This assumes additional credits are available at $0.50/credit. Town Comwil Meeting April 18,20f8 It is entirely possible that there will be contingency expenses on this project and this could require additional funding of$371,056 at a later date. Again,this assumes additional credits are available at $0.50/credit. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Town Council: 1. Receive staff report on status of Rule 20A/2013 project. 2. Direct staff to continue work on the project, or, 3. Direct staff to cease work on the project and ask PG&E to close the project down. Prepared by: Patrick Barnes,Director of Public Works Greg Chanis,Town Manager TOWN OF TIBURON Town Council Meeting Aril 18, 2018 1505 Tiburon Boulevard p Agenda Item: Tiburon, CA 94920 u '�I STAFF PO . To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council From: Department of Public Works Subject: Recommendation to Approve a Resolution Continuing the Cypress Hollow Lightipg & Landscaping District Assessment for FY 2018/19 Reviewed By: BACKGROUND In 1998, the residents of Cypress Hollow petitioned and received approval from the Local Agency Formation Commission for annexation from unincorporated Marin County into the Tiburon Town Limits. Since 1990, the County of Marin had maintained and operated a Landscaping and Lighting District in Cypress Hollow. In 1998, the Tiburon Town Council and the Marin County Board of Supervisors passed a joint resolution transferring jurisdiction of the Cypress Hollow Landscape and Lighting District to the Town of Tiburon. The resolution also transferred the financial resources and documentation associated with operation, maintenance and funding to the Town. Based on this resolution, the Town of Tiburon has maintenance responsibility for: 1. The 25 foot sanitary sewer easement landscape and irrigation on the east boundary; 2. Entry landscaping and the 30 foot storm drainage easement on the southwesterly boundary and irrigation system; and 3. Ownership and maintenance of the park site. Since 1998, the Town of Tiburon has continued the operation and maintenance activities of the Cypress Hollow Landscaping and Lighting District and assessed the residents the cost thereof. ANALYSIS The California Streets and Highways Code requires the Town to publicly notice the affected residents annually in order to continue the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District. The Town must provide the residents an opportunity to submit either written or oral protests. On March 27, 2018, the residents of Cypress Hollow were sent a notice of this evening's public hearing via U.S. Mail. As of the writing of this report, the Town has not received any inquiries on the proposed assessment. From the date of the Town's incorporation through present day the assessment amount has not been changed. The assessment amount is presently $378 per property per year. TOWN OF TIBURON PAGE 1 OF 3 FINANCIAL IMPACT The Cypress Hollow Landscape and Lighting District generates about $16,632 per year. The table below shows past year expenditures and the budget for next year. Cypress Hollow Expenditures 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 Actual Actual Actual Estimated Budgeted Contractual Services (Cost Recovery) $14,000 $14,000 $14,000 $14,000 $14,000 Landscape Grounds & Materials $6,450 $537 $2,495 $1,600 $8,000 Water-MMWD $1,918 $837 $606 $500 $1,000 TOTAL DEPARTMENT $22,368 $15,374 $17,101 $16,100 $23,000 Note that there is a small surplus in most years. This has generated a reserve of about$30,000, which is used for larger projects. Special trimming is needed about every four years and is estimated to cost $8,000 in the upcoming fiscal year. The last time this was done was in 2014/15. The additional $6,368 needed to perform this work will be levied from the above-mentioned reserve. ($16,632 Generated Funds - $23,000 Expenditures = $6,368 From Reserve) Additionally, the park infrastructure needs renewal about every 20 years. In 2009,the Town spent $40,000 rehabilitating the park area. The $14,000 cost recovery is an average of about 5 hours per week for a Parks Maintenance employee. The total time spent in the three areas totals an average of 4.8 to 7.8 hours per week. The total budget for FY 2018/19 compares favorably with the Marin County budget from Fiscal Year 1996/97, eleven years ago. For FY 1996/97, the assessment report from Marin County estimated the following costs for the maintenance and operation of Cypress Hollow LLD: Miscellaneous Maintenance $2,500 Miscellaneous Fees $88 Contractual Services, Monthly Maintenance $8,728 Water $2,300 Indirect County Overhead $5,733 Contingencies (carry over) $8,564 Total Expenditure $27,913 Staff believes that the Cypress Hollow development is receiving a good value from the Town of Tiburon. Cypress Hollow Park is unique among neighborhood parks in Tiburon. It is the only neighborhood park that is manicured. It is the only neighborhood park with a play set for children. The park is a well-used amenity benefitting the residents of Cypress Hollow. Four years ago, one resident spoke against the assessment at the Town Council meeting. Prior to that, no resident had ever spoken or written in protest to the assessment. There are 44 parcels in i.11\11 t ;;illi A�i;C i the LLD and the LLD has been in the Town since 1998, 20 years. That is a(1/(20*44)) = 0.11% protest rate. The resident who spoke against the LLD assessment four years ago said that he had been told by the developer that the assessment would be paid for in a few years and then disappear. A disappearing assessment would normally be to fund the cost of initial construction. It is clear from 1997 Marin County documents that the assessment is for"landscape services" for the "operation and maintenance" of these areas, not initial construction. The levy of the annual lighting and landscaping assessment provides a funding source for the cost of Town maintenance of the park and any required improvements. Without this source of funding, these costs would be paid for from the General Fund. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Town Council: 1. Conduct a public hearing to hear any protests on the intent to levy the annual assessment, and 2. Move to adopt the resolution continuing the Cypress Hollow Lighting and Landscaping District for FY 2018-19 Exhibits: Draft Resolution continuing the maintenance and operation of the Landscape and Lighting District in the Cypress Hollow Subdivision for Fiscal Year 2018-19 Prepared By: Dmitriy Lashkevich, Associate Engineer RESOLUTION NO.##-2018 A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON CONTINUING MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF THE LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT IN THE CYPRESS HOLLOW SUBDIVISION WHEREAS,the County of Marin has maintained and operated a Landscape and Lighting District in Cypress Hollow, and received assessments from the parcels therein for the purpose of operating and maintaining the following areas: (1) landscaping and irrigation of the sewer sanitary easement on the east boundary, (2) entry landscaping and irrigation of the 30' storm drainage easement in the southwest boundary area,and(3)ownership and maintenance of the park site, all as part of the Cypress Hollow Development; and WHEREAS, in December 1998 the Town of Tiburon annexed the Cypress Hollow Area, and in April 1.999 accepted the Grant Deed from the County of Marin for the Cypress Hollow Public Park; and WHEREAS,the Town of Tiburon, having completed annexation of the parcels in the Cypress Hollow District, herein states its intention to continue the operation and maintenance activities of the Cypress Hollow Landscape and Lighting District heretofore the responsibility of the County of Marin.
