Holli Thier The Town of Tiburon is opposed to your bill SB 828, which would preempt local Councilmember regulation and allow buildings potentially up to 85 feet high within Downtown Tiburon, where a maximum of three stories is allowed but is not typical. Jon Weiner Councilmember Such projects could allow incredibly tall and dense housing developments to be a permitted use by right, without any parking, thus depriving local officials of meaningful opportunities to have such projects fit in with the fabric and character of Greg Manager g 1>p p .1 Town Manager the community. This bill as drafted does not recognize local ordinances providing that "use by right" does not exempt a project from meaningful design review or allow a municipality to impose certain qualitative standards on the housing development. These are key provisions in the Town of Tiburon, which does allow affordable housing projects "by right", but necessarily reserves some reasonable regulation over the appearance of the project. One poorly-designed project, absent some reasonable level of local review, could have a substantial and disproportionate negative impact on the aesthetics of our small downtown area. In prior decades, the Town of Tiburon owned land which it caused to be developed with projects containing affordable units; sometimes all the units in the project were affordable to low or very-low income households. The Town no longer owns such parcels of land, and lacking such Town-owned sites, is entirely beholden to private landowners, other public agencies (such as school districts), and the marketplace to accommodate its regional housing needs numbers, given that our community is largely built-out. Encourage and incent as we might, we have little control over how these private parties and public agencies choose to develop their properties. To require the Town to accommodate 200% of its R1 NA is simply not reasonable. For these reasS ns, he Town of Tiburon opposes SB 828 as currently amended.

Notice of Opposition Alice Fredericks Councilmember Dear Assemblyman McCarty: `''' ''' Holli Thier The Town of Tiburon is opposed to your bill AB 1759. Councilmember The proposed bill conditions transportation funding on the local government's Jon Welner Councilmember successful production of its regional housing need allocation (RHNA). It is important to note that RHNA allocations are developed for planning purposes, and have never been predicated on actual housing production. This is because most Greg Chanis cities and counties have little control over housing sites, housing markets, or funds Town Manager necessary to ensure actual production of housing. Our free-market economy and governmental structures are simply not set up to function in this manner. In prior decades, the Town of Tiburon owned land which it caused to be developed with projects containing affordable units; sometimes all the units in the project were affordable to low or very-low income households. The Town no longer owns such parcels of land, and lacking such Town-owned sites, is entirely beholden to private landowners, other public agencies (such as school districts), and the marketplace to accommodate its regional housing needs numbers, given that our community is largely built-out. Encourage and incent as we might, we have little control over how these private parties and public agencies choose to develop their properties. Denying funds for road and highway improvements is not a supportable way to encourage communities to meet their affordable housing goals. Creating affordable housing can be achieved through incentives rather than measures that exacerbate deterioration of local roadways, which makes the local citizenry wary of new development and is generally counterproductive. For these re sons, the Town of Tiburon opposes AB 1759.

Not being assaulted by the huge light pollution that keeps on growing was a welcome change that our neighborhood and visitors enjoyed,while being able to see the incredible views of the San Francisco Bay without the bright halo the TPC is infamous for.Additionally,the surroundings were finally quiet,something that is an intricate part of the problem with having bright lights late into the night. Las,this reprieve was of short duration and the private tennis courts quickly returned to interfering with the surrounding neighborhood private enjoyment of their property.For years,we have tried to work with the TPC,suggesting a modification of the evening schedules that would not exceed 7:OOPM,using a better lighting technology and activation,and respecting the times when these lights could be used.To no avail,it seems that TPC members and the management have a total disregard for the most basic respect of other's private enjoyment. Lately,the bright lights have stayed on way past the formerly approved(against the neighbor's objection) schedule,and I can provide you with dates,times and photographs when the tennis lights were on full bright well beyond the acceptable time.The last instance was a couple of days ago when the lights stayed on until 11:IOPM.To make the matter worse,often the lights remain on without anyone on the courts,something that add insults to injury.The visual and noise impact of the club has become worse over the years with the thinning canopy of trees that were supposed to screen the club from uphill and surrounding neighbors.We now have an increasing unobstructed view of the tennis courts and pool. Property owners and residents of Tiburon are strongly encouraged by the town to minimize the visual impact of lights and most has been accomplished to that effect. No other properties other than TPC are allowed to have such powerful lights that create a halo of visual pollution. P.O.Box 84-Tiburon,CA 94920-(415)435-4000 TPC Lights,Page 2 Add to the light pollution the noise associated with it and you have a formula for total interference with the private enjoyment of properties surrounding the TPC.In the past few weeks,some of your members were using the courts way before 07:OOAM.Often,sounds on the TPC property are amplified naturally or through sound systems,and carried uphill.In the summer,that includes the non-stop staccato of tennis balls hitting the court with the associated screaming well into the darkness. During the daytime,the noise of the swimming_program with its loud buzzer is with us as well. Our association is,once again,asking you to reduce these pollutions and we hope that we can find a suitable compromise in the near future. In the mean time,should this practice continue,we will file a complaint with the Tiburon Police each time that your club is abusing its exclusive privilege. - - erg_a Martial President Tiburon Vista Townhouses Association CC: Greg Chanis,Tiburon Town Manager Tiburon Town Council C "4 wX V 04' 1 41 rQ ' California Street Light Association Street Light and Traffic Signal/Energy Efficiency Conference #63 Complimentary Registration and Lunch For Public Officials and Associate Members Southern California Northern California 10:00 am — 2:30 pm 10:00am - 2:30pm on Monday, May 7, 2018 on Monday, May 14, 2018 County of Los Angeles, Public Works, City of San Jose Alhambra Room Environmental Innovation Center 900 South Fremont Avenue 1608 Las Plumas Avenue Alhambra CA 91803 San Jose CA 95133 These conferences are presented at no cost to employees of California cities, counties, special districts and Associate Members, who are JPAs, vendors and service providers to local government.

As contract administrator for the NBWRA, the Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA) will act as Lead Agency under CEQA and the Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation will be the federal Lead Agency under NEPA. The 45-day review period begins on April 4, 2018 and extends to May 18, 2018. Written comments on the Draft EIR/EIS may be submitted to: Sonoma County Water Agency Attn: Anne Crealock 404 Aviation Boulevard Santa Rosa, CA 95403 You may also submit your comments electronically at the following website, www.nbwra.org or Phase2EIR @ nbwra.org. The Project: The projects proposed in the Phase 2 Program would continue to build upon commitments to long-term inter-agency cooperation to address common needs related to reliable water supplies and enhanced environmental restoration. These projects would include construction and operation of treatment capacity improvements, distribution facilities, and storage facilities (seasonal and operational) to provide recycled water for environmental, agricultural, and municipal reuse in the North San Pablo Bay region, which encompasses approximately 318 square miles in Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties. Pipeline and pumping facilities would be installed within or along existing roadways. Treatment and storage facilities would be located at or near existing wastewater treatment plants. This recycled water would be used in a manner consistent with the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, pertaining to the use of tertiary-treated recycled water.

The Action Alternatives consist of treatment, transmission, and storage facilities necessary to meet a range of recycled water demand scenarios within the NBWRA service area through 2025. Each Action Alternative considers varying levels of recycled water use and corresponding levels of regional facility integration. Environmental Analysis: Analysis of environmental impacts associated with the NBWRP Phase 2 alternatives identified potentially significant impacts, primarily temporary impacts resulting from construction activities, in the following areas: aesthetics; air quality; biological resources; cultural and tribal resources; energy conservation; environmental justice; groundwater; hazards and hazardous materials; hydrology and water quality; land use and agricultural resources; noise; public services; recreation; transportation and traffic; and, utilities and service systems. Growth inducement potential, secondary effects of growth, and cumulative impacts are also addressed in the Draft EIR/EIS. For environmental impacts determined to be significant or potentially significant, mitigation measures have been identified to reduce those impacts. Per CEQA Section 15087(c)(6), the Draft EIR/EIS identifies sites with documented use, storage, or release of hazardous materials or petroleum products under Section 65962.5 of the California Government Code found within 660 feet of the Phase 2 project components.

The application seeks recovery of$588 million for the following recorded costs related to PG&E's 2016 and 2017 emergency work: • Fire and storm emergency response • Drought-related work such as pruning and removing hazardous trees and vegetation The application also includes $555 million for forecasted costs related to the drought-related work referenced above in 2018 and 2019, for a total of$1.1 billion included in the application. No costs associated with the October 2017 Northern California wildfires or the 2015 Butte Fire are included in this application. If the CPUC approves this application, PG&E will begin to recover costs in electric rates beginning January 1, 2019. PG&E is proposing the recovery of costs and any rate increase be extended over a two-year period to reduce the impact on customer bills. Background CEMA is used to record unexpected costs incurred as a result of significant events declared to be disasters by the state of California or federal authorities. Costs are related to the following: a) safely restoring utility services to customers during declared natural disasters b) repairing, replacing or restoring damaged utility facilities c) complying with governmental agency orders CEMA is directly associated with restoring and repairing damage to critical energy infrastructure as well as PG&E facilities that help deliver energy. In addition, PG&E has been directed by the CPUC to perform additional work related to reducing fire risk. Previously, PG&E has recovered CEMA-related costs after they were incurred. Due to the increasing fire risk mitigation work required by the CPUC, PG&E is requesting to recover future costs in advance. These costs will include proposals to address severe tree mortality and management of hazardous trees. How will PG&E's Application affect me? Many customers receive bundled electric service from PG&E, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission and distribution services. A summary of the rate impact by customer class was provided in the original bill insert sent to customers in April and May. Based on rates currently in effect, the bill for a typical residential Bundled Non-CARE customer using 500 kWh per month would increase from $111.59 to $116.89, or 4.7 percent. Actual impacts will vary depending on energy usage. PG&E customer service is available to help customers with energy saving tips and tools which can help minimize the impact of any bill increase. How will PG&E's Application affect customers who buy electricity from a third party? Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customers only receive electric transmission and distribution services from PG&E. Within this category, residential customers will see an increase in rates. On average, DA and CCA customers will see an increase of 5.7 percent. Departing Load customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PG&E. However, they are required to pay certain charges as required by law or CPUC decision. These customers will not be impacted by this application. 1 How do I find out more about PG&E's proposals? If you have questions about PG&E's filing, please contact PG&E at 1-800-743-5000.
