Meeting called to order at 5:30 PM.
Minutes of April 5, 2018 Board of Directors meeting
Draft minutes were approved unanimously.
Report on water quality testing conducted during winter 2018
Mr. Price reviewed the test reports included in the package, pointing out the spikes that happened
during the single rain event in the test locations adjacent to storm drains. He was going to
forward the results to Sausalito so they could review the records and then follow up to see if they
would consider paying for a portion of the test costs.
Rebecca Schwartz-Lesburg of the California Audubon Society said that biannual testing didn't
tell us much, especially regarding illegal discharge. She asked for a map of test locations and
DNA testing for coliform origins.
Sarah Bice suggested coordinating with the Romberg Center in Tiburon to get better testing
protocols and accuracy. She was concerned that the RBRA wasn't paying enough attention to
water quality.
Mr. Price responded, explaining that Regional Water Quality Control Board personnel
accompanied him on tests and took their own samples for fecal coliform. He said the sites were
located in the marinas on Sausalito and county shoreline, with one open water site. He also said
that the County Environmental Health Department tested at Schoonmaker Beach weekly from
April to October.
Chair Winter asked about the amount of water exchanged daily in the tidal cycles of the bay, and
no one had a firm answer. Mr. Price explained EH Department protocol once a spike is detected,
which is to post the beach as closed until a follow-up test occurs the following week. He said we
are the only agency in the Bay Area conducting regular water testing, and he said that DNA
testing is prohibitively expensive.

Presentation regarding Community Efforts
Alden Bevington went over the community efforts of the Richardson's Bay Special Anchorage
Association(RBSAA) to create a safer anchorage, highlighting safety checks and the burgee
system of identifying vessels in compliance with their guidelines. He said,that there had been
outreach to a vessel owner who was continually collecting more boats. He was concerned that
Schoonmaker Marina was considering closing their shoreside access point for anchor-outs, which
would reduce landing areas by 33%, and he had meetings scheduled with the harbormaster there.
He stated that there were 180 boats in their latest count, with 23 vessels on the RBRA_pi�rnp-out
schedule.
Greg Baker reported that a 30' boat had sunk, and that he was going to pass out bright orange
garbage bags for pick-up by RBRA in an ongoing, as-needed basis.
Barbara Salzman of the Marin Audubon Society was concerned that new boats were not being
addressed by the RBRA.
Member Sears asked what efforts were being made to get people to sign up to the pump-out
program, and Mr. Price responded that a working holding tank system was required to begin the
process. He said that there was a stockpile of new porta-potties that were always available as
---- --- well—Doug-Storms-added that the RBSS-A guidelines required pump-out,and-he-had-50-vessels - ——
listed that disposed of waste properly through a variety of methods.
Mike McKinley stated that the Sausalito PD is continuing to map vessels with their survey once a
month and Deputy Dan White said that the sheriff's department was actively tracking new
vessels.
Doug Storms said that the mariners were the biggest problem but also the biggest potential
solution. He said there was a struggle with the number of boats per owner within their
organization. Court Mast wanted to look for solutions in Other areas with similar anchorages that
already had moorings. Sarah Bice stated that the health and water quality issues were more
important than the mariners and derelict boats.
Fiscal year 2018-19 Budget discussion and consideration of Resolution 05-18 adopting said
budget
Executive Director Pollard presented her staff report, outlining the projected annual revenues, the
Board's action on a direction to modify requirements and conditions on the bay, the reliance on
member agency contributions, and Division of Boating grant funding opportunities. With
contemplation of the costs of the Board's new direction(legal environmental, planning,
enforcement, etc.), it was determined that the budget would require at least an additional 10%
contribution by member agencies for the upcoming fiscal year, with another 3% needed for cost
of living and another 7%needed because lack of use reserves/carryover funds as was the case in
last year's budget.
2
Member Wickham asked if RBRA could establish a non-profit arm to receive donations to help
various efforts. Chair Winter pointed out that the fiscal plan would address and abate the low-
hanging fruit and abandoned derelict vessels.
Sarah Bice felt the testing budget should be increased by $l OK. Alden Bevington said his group
had a 501(c)3 designation, and as Marin's most economically disadvantaged community, funds
could be funneled to people who live on the water and work toward improving the bay. Barbara
Salzman and Rebecca Schwartz-Lesburg both asked for more focused enforcement resources.
Member Wickham stated that the budget process was a starting point and that it could be
adjusted as needed during the year. He recognized that the RBRA was not an enforcement
agency,but that we could adjust our budget to supplement increased overtime with the sheriff as
an example. Member- Sears commended the Board for the increase which showed collaboration
and was emblematic of a new-found cooperation. Chair Winter described this as a framework
for the coming year, subject to change as needed. He said as the plan gels, we can reach out to
the state for funding, and he welcomed Audubon to participate. Member Fraser commented that
it was a great job so far.
Resolution 05-18, approving the RBRA budget for 2018/19, was approve unanimously.
Public Comments not on agenda
Stacy Gregory, of Sausalito PD read a letter from the Sausalito City Council opposing moving
forward with any mooring plan, and inviting the Chair and Executive Director to the next City
Council meeting and to the Waterfront Working Group meeting as well to give a report on the
RBRA's intentions.
Mike McKinley stated that there a State bill had been introduced that would address the disposal
of derelict commercial vessels. Both Ms. Salzman and Ms. Schwartz—Lesburg offered to write
letters of support. Ms. Pollard noted that the legislation was limited to the Delta and did not get
out of committee.
Staff Comments
Harbor Administrator Price advised the Board that a long-time volunteer for the RBRA, Tim
Fleshman, had passed away recently and he gave a briefing on his tireless contributions over the
past 13 years.

RICHARDSON'S BAY REGIONAL AGENCY
STAFF REPORT
For the meeting of: June 14, 2018
To: RBRA Board of Directors
From: Beth Pollard, Executive Director
Subject: Amendment to the joint Powers Agreement in follow-up to the
withdrawal of the City of Sausalito
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board approve Resolution No. 06-18 recommending the governing bodies
of the member agencies amend the Richardson's Bay Regional Agency Joint Powers
Agreement (JPA).
BACKGROUND:
The current version of the JPA was entered into by and between the County of
Marin, and the cities of Belvedere, Mill Valley, Sausalito and Tiburon in October of
2000. The City of Sausalito withdrew from the Richardson's Bay Regional Agency as
of July 1, 2017. The matter before the Board is revising the JPA to reflect Sausalito's
departure.
DISCUSSION:
The jPA amendment before the Board contains the following changes.-
Removes
hanges:Removes reference to Sausalito from the agreement. The JPA now will
reference only four agencies: County of Marin, City of Belvedere, City of Mill Valley,
and Town of Tiburon.
• Revises the member contribution ratios so that each member agency absorbs
a share of Sausalito's former contribution; the ratios in the amendment match the
ratios upon which the Board acted upon in approving the 2017-18 budget last year
and the 2018-19 budget this year.
• Allows the return of a departed member agency,with Board approval. The
only departed agency at this time is Sausalito; while there has not been an interest
expressed in returning, the revised JPA allows for such consideration should there
be an interest in the future.
• Modifies the voting on fiscal matters to allow for increases in member
contributions up to 1S%with a simple majority vote of the Board of Directors,
between 1S percent and 30 percent with a 2/3 supermajority vote, and more than
30% with a unanimous vote, and resolution approval of member agencies. The
current language essentially requires unanimous approval on even minor increases
that might be supported by all but one Board member; the modification is intended
to allow the agency to pursue initiatives with a level of agreement commensurate
with the extent of fiscal impart.
Next Steps:
With an affirmative vote of the RBRA Board of Directors for the JPA amendments,
staff will forward the document to the member agencies with a recommendation
that each agency's governing body (i.e. Town/City Councils and Board of
Supervisors) approve and execute accordingly.

RICHARDSON'S BAY REGIONAL AGENCY
STAFF REPORT
For the meeting of; June 14, 2018
To: RBRA Board of Directors
From: Beth Pollard, Executive Director
Subject: Next steps in pursuit of the Board's April direction
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Engage in discussion regarding ideas for: a) seaworthy criteria and other vessel
requirements; b) factors to consider in a planning study on placement of moorings;
c) other requirements and opportunities.
BACKGROUND:
At its meeting of April S, 2018, the Board of Directors gave direction for actions to
pursue,towards the goal of a safe, healthy, and well-managed bay. In summary,this
direction included requiring that vessels be registered with RBRA; securely moored;
seaworthy and free of debris and excess material; and not pollute. Other potential
regulations identified for now or in the future would address number of
dinghies/skiffs and vessels and length of stay. This decision is in addition to the
direction already underway to remove marine debris and unattended moorings and
floats, and require state registration.
The Board's workplan for June and July 2018 calls for staff to provide additional
information and action steps to the Board to enable it to implement or modify its
April direction.
DISCUSSION:
Staff is collecting information from stakeholders and other agencies to help advise
the Board on next steps; the other agencies include other anchorage areas with
moorings. The information gathered generally falls into these three categories:
• Seaworthy criteria and other requirements for vessels on the bay
• Factors to consider in designing the transition to moorings
• Other considerations and opportunities
Attached is a preliminary rough draft outline of potential seaworthiness criteria and
other requirements for vessels; factors relative to moorings; and other issues.
1
Seaworthiness criteria and related requirements
The draft criteria address issues such as integrity of the vessel's equipment and
exterior; safety standards; hazardous/polluting materials and conditions; and the
vessel's capability to operate on its own. There are criteria listed that overlap with
federal and state requirements, noted for information only.
The requirements related to moorings would be addressed as part of the analysis
recommended on placement of moorings_
Moorings
There are a number of factors to consider in placement of moorings in Richardson's
Bay. Staff recommends contracting for a professional, objective and independent
study that would review and analyze information and data about Richardson's Bay,
experience drawn from moorings in other anchorages, and other sources to advise
the Board on the placement of moorings in the bay.
Factors identified to date for the analysis to consider generally relate to location and
type/technique for the moorings/ground tackle; specific issues include water depth,
eelgrass and other marine life; water quality; vessel draft; spacing; shore access;
- --
differentiating transient and lon-ger ter-m-vessels; and overall capacity. -- - - --
Otherissues
Other issues that have been raised related to implementation of the Board direction
include who/how will the inspections and certifications take place; the role of the
Special Anchorage Association; registration; helping people improve their vessels to
meet the criteria; mariner training; identifying some vessels that can serve as
examples of seaworthy conditions; ownership and placement of moorings and
ground tackle; maximum vessel length, stay, numbers; rules for different uses; there
has also been an offer of volunteers from the anchorage helping to replant eelgrass.
Next Steps:
Staff recommends that at the June meeting, the Board conduct work session
discussions on the three categories of issues so as to draw out ideas from the
community- ThrP ideas would m;irp l} lrrrpzzihInn the RRRA' Wi-h zite1. iy s
and
agenda packet for the July Board meeting, with an opportunity to add and
comment. At its July 12 meeting,the Board could then give staff direction on
pur suing a study on placement of moorings, and new requirements for vessels in the
anchorage for purposes of drafting language for RBRA ordinance amendments.
