He noted the provision in the ordinance that regulates against knowingly and intentionally operating a drone to record or transmit images without permission. He felt satisfied with this language and supported the ordinance. COUnCilmember Thier said the Council removed sections of the ordinance in response to:the concerns raised.

Reviewed By: GC N/A Greg Chanis,Town Manager Benjamin Stock,Town Attorney SUMMARY Council will receive a presentation regarding the proposed Marin Wildfire Joint Powers Authority and associated tax measure,and determine whether to request the Board of the Tiburon Fire District reconsider their recent decision on the matter. RECOMMENDED ACTION(S) 1. Receive the Staff Report and presentation by proposal organizers. 2. Consider whether to send a letter to the Tiburon Fire District in support of the proposal and request the Tiburon Fire District Board reconsider their decision regarding joining the proposed JPA. BACKGROUND The deadliest and most destructive wildfires in our state's history have occurred in recent years, and Marin's wildlands and lush vegetation leave us vulnerable to a wildfire event. Over the past 6-8 months,the County of Marin, fire agencies and cities and towns in Marin have developed a proposal for a new countywide wildfire prevention strategy to coordinate and oversee programs with the goal of making our communities safer and better prepared to prevent and respond to wildfire threats. The cornerstone of this proposal is the creation of the Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority (MWPA). The proposed organization would be a Joint Powers Authority comprised of the 19 individual jurisdictions that have the taxing authority to raise revenue for fire services. The MWPA would be funded through a proposed revenue measure (parcel tax) to be placed on the March 2020 ballot. As proposed, it is estimated the measure would raise $21M in the first year of implementation. It is important to note the Town of Tiburon is not one of the 19 member agencies included in the proposed MWPA. Fire prevention and protection in Tiburon is not a Town function or TOWN OF TIBURON PAGE 1 OF 4 primary responsibility, but rather is covered by 2 separate Bre districts: Tiburon Fire District (TFD) and Southern Marin Fire District(SMFD). As a result, the 2 fire districts could be part of the MWPA, but the Town of Tiburon would not. This is the case for the cities of Sausalito and Novato as well, as they are also communities served by separate Bre districts. Boundary maps of the 2 fire districts serving Tiburon are attached as Exhibit 1. ANALYSIS Over the past 2 years several reports have been issued about wildfire preparedness including: "Community Wildfire Protection Plan," the "Lessons Learned from North Bay Fire Siege" Report, and this year's "Marin Civil Grand Jury Report on Wildfire Preparedness". All these reports point to the importance of a countywide, multiagency approach to better protect our residents, and based on polling conducted by Godbe Research, there appears to be a broad support for a tax revenue measure to fund a collaborative approach. The polling data from Godbe is attached as Exhibit 2. A countywide coalition that includes the majority of Marin fire and city/town agencies has proposed a new Joint Powers Authority (JPA) and associated funding measure to address the wildfire threat. The JPA would consist of up to 19 separate local fire agencies, cities and towns, and the County. Again, the Town of Tiburon is not one of these entities. The mission of the Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority would be to fund and oversee the following efforts: • Wildfire detection and evacuation system improvements • Vegetation management and fire hazard reduction • Defensible space and home hardening evaluations • Public education and neighborhood wildfire preparedness • Local specific wildfire prevention efforts Proposed March 2020 Tax Revenue Measure The proposed revenue measure would be considered by voters in March of 2020. Based on the results of a parcel tax study, the current proposal is for a parcel tax based on a rate of 10 cents per building square feet for improved commercial and residential parcels; $75 per unit for multi- family residential (3+ units); and $25/$100/$150 per parcel for unimproved parcels based on acreage. For a residential property with a 2,000 square foot home, this would result in a tax of $200 in year 1 of the proposed program. It is estimated this tax structure will result in raising approximately $21 million annually after accounting for exemptions for low-income seniors. The proposal also includes annual increases equal to the San Francisco Area Consumer Price Index (CPI) with an annual cap of 3 percent. The initial proposal called for a tax revenue measure that would remain in place until repealed by voters. A number of the entities considering joining the JPA, as well as several outside citizen groups, have expressed concern about this `evergreen' provision. On Friday October 10, in response to these concerns, organizers of the proposal have modified the tax measure proposal to now include a 10 year `sunset'. This means that after 10 years, voters in each of the 19 potential JPA jurisdictions will have the opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of the program, determine whether to remain in the JPA, and consider whether to continue with the parcel tax for the residents in their respective jurisdictions. The current proposed ballot language is as follows: Marin Wildfire Prevention Measure. To support coordinated wildfire prevention including improving early wildfire detection, warning and alerts; reducing brush and vegetation; ensuring defensible space around homes, neighborhoods and critical infrastructure; and improving disaster evacuation routes/procedures; shall the Marin Wildfire Prevention Measure, levying up to 10¢per building square foot tax (described in the ballot pamphlet) for 10 years, providing $21,000,000 annually, with annual inflation adjustments, independent oversight/audits, and low- income senior exemptions, be adopted? As proposed, all funds would be utilized within the JPA area, and would be protected from any taking by the State. Funds must be used for wildfire prevention and cannot be diverted. Independent oversight and annual audits would be required. Finally, the new revenue source would help Marin qualify for state and federal grants that otherwise will go to other communities around the state. At the Council meeting on October 16, Council will receive a detailed presentation regarding the initiative and proposed expenditure plan. As of the writing of this Staff Report, the Boards/Councils representing 11 of the 19 entities eligible to join the JPA have considered this item and have voted to join the JPA, and place the associated tax measure on the March 2020 ballot. They include: 1. Southern Marin Fire District(Includes a portion of Tiburon) 2. Novato Fire District 3. Stinson Beach Fire District 4. Sleepy Hollow Fire District 5. Marinwood CSD 6. Inverness Public Utility District 7. Larkspur 8. Fairfax 9. County of Marin (including Service Areas 13, 19 and 3) 10. San Anselmo 11. Ross On October 8, the Board of the Tiburon Fire District voted 3-2 to not join the JPA, and therefore, not authorize the proposed tax measure be placed on the March 2020 ballot. This decision was made with the assumption the tax measure would be an `evergreen' tax, which as previously noted, has now been modified to `sunset' after 10 years. The 7 potential remaining JPA members will all be considering this item prior to October 31, which is the deadline for jurisdictions to make a decision. At the Council meeting on October 16, staff will provide councilmembers an update on the status of the remaining entities. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Staff has preliminarily determined that adoption of this item is statutorily exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines in that it does not constitute a project under CEQA, and if it were found to constitute a project, it would be exempt pursuant to the general rule set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3). RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Town Council: 1. Receive the Staff Report and presentation by proposal organizers 2. Consider whether to send a letter to the Tiburon Fire District in support of the proposal,and request the Tiburon Fire District Board reconsider their decision regarding joining the proposed JPA.

RECOMMENDED ACTION(S) 1. .Appoint one councilmember to the MCCMC ad hoe subcommittee on Climate Change and Sea Level Rise. BACKGROUND On June 26. 2019. MCCMC reactivated the ad hoc subcommittee on Climate Change and Sea Level Rise (the meeting staff report is attached as Exhibit 1). This ad hoc subcommittee was originally created in 2014. but was eventually consolidated with the County of Marin. and soon morphed into BayWAVE (Marin Bay Waterfi-ont Adaptation Vulnerability Evaluation). The MCCMC subcommittee then went dormant. In 2019. the climate change and sea level rise landscape in Marin County has evolved and MCCMC has reinstated the subcommittee. Once constituted, the subcommittee will determine their scope of work in light ofthe cwrrent landscape. In the meantime, MCCMC requests each Council appoint one of its members to serve on the subcommittee. The Council may also appoint an alternate if desired. ANALYSIS No further analysis provided.

MARIN COUNTY COUNCIL OF MAYORS AND COUNCILMEMBERS STAFF REPORT REPORT DATE: June 21, 2019 MEETING DATE: June 26, 2019 TO: HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE MARIN COUNTY COUNCIL OF MAYORS AND COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: REBECCA VAUGHN, MCCMC CLERK/TREASURER SUBJECT: Request to Reinstate the Dormant Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Ad Hoc Committee. 001000000 PURPOSE: For the MCCMC membership to consider reinstatement of the Dormant Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Ad Hoc Committee. BACKGROUND: The Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Ad Hoc Committee (`Subcommittee") was created by MCCMC in May 2014 following a recommendation Irom the Mayors Select Committee in April 2014. The subcommittee met on several occasions to discuss scope and other issues during 2014. In early 2015, Marin County was awarded a grant to supplement previously assigned County funds to undertake a comprehensive assessment of sea level rise vulnerability. In an effort to make best use of the funds allocated by the Board of Supervisors and the grant funds and to coordinate work and collaborate with the Marin cities and towns, a consolidation of efforts between the County and MCCMC was agreed upon. Several members ofthe Subcommittee joined a County working group to form a combined Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment Committee. This morphed into Baywave. The Subcommittee seeing no need to meet went dormant. Fast forward to 2019 and the landscape in Marin County around climate change and sea level rise has evolved.The County led Baywave and Drawdown initiatives cover a wide spectrum of climate change thought leadership. Each city and town has its own initiatives. planning efforts and Climate Action Plans. At the May 22,2019 meeting, David Kunhardt. Corte Madera and Stephanie Moulton- Peters, Mill Valley requested that we consider reviving the MCCMC ad-hoc subcommittee on Climate Change and Sea Level Rise. This agenda item is to approve the following recommendation: Activate the MCCMC ad-hoc subcommittee on Climate Change and Sea Level Rise and request that each city appoint a councilmember to it. The Committee once constituted shall determine their scope of work in light of the current landscape and make a recommendation to the MCCMC membership for adoption of the scope in the Fall. 1 , Business Item 7.b. OPTIONS: 1.

Where the iron fence begins, at the back of the property and next to a survey marker, it has been flattened by a fallen tree. At this point the iron fence is connected to no other fence as the back boundary of the property is not similarly delineated. As the iron fence becomes upright and runs up the hill, the adjoining property's fence is seen on the left with a wide gap between the two. That gap continues to the street above and has been used as a corridor by foraging deer since a recent plethora of high fences have diverted them from their previously established paths. t _ A.- t r' I. } As the iron fence ascends it first meets a ramshackle retaining wall with a dramatic increase in the height of the fence at the fence post located there.And further up, the iron fence is intersected from the right by a high wood and wire fence with a gate at the back of the developed part of the property. Yard waste has been disposed of here and piled up against the iron fence on the fence owner's side of the property. From that side, the iron fence does not look as high as it actually is.And the footing provided by the yard waste is soft and unstable. And this is where deer, coming in from the right and blocked by the wooden yard fence, take to leaping over the iron fence in order to get back to the corridor between the two properties. �k14. t, A closer view of the iron fence shows it to be cheaply constructed with pinched or crimped top pickets which are exceedingly sharp. And something has snapped off two of the pickets here and dislodged the top cross-bar from the fence post. Given the barriers they face, the dangerous footing created, and the lethal design of the iron fence, the perils for young deer here should be evident. If not, the images which follow should drive that point home. And, the damage to the fence and the silent agonizing suffering which attended it should come to be understood.

For Tiburon officialdom has been made aware of young deer being impaled on this iron fence and are knowledgeable of the specifics of these cases. And yet, young deer continue to be there skewered. In Tiburon, humane should be more than part of a logo on a carcass collecting pick-up truck. This barbaric cruelty must end!

Two young deer were .killed down at the bottom of the slope on the fence when we were there. They both were speared by those pointed `ornamental' fence tips. That's nothing about garbage. That's the deer path they frequently use to traverse the open areas of the hillside. The second time a fawn was speared I had to remove the body from the fence. I went to the neighbors and told them what happened and that they should cut the spike off the top of the fence in the ravine to stop killing the fawns that follow the deer path. They apparently didn't, which is too bad. And thanks for the invite to see the remodeling. Will text you next time in Tiburon.

It is my professional opinion that the design of the fence with its protruding spikes is a constant life hazard to the roaming dear population that are often present in the neighborhood.Its use in its present form constitute a deliberate attempt as an act of Animal Cruelty.
