set�t�inbs I was attr-actcd to outdoor construction woi-k as compared to academic life which
was tl�e path offei-ed in psychology. (And the higher pay in constl-uction offei-ed a guicicer
way to pay off�college debts).
I started my own construction company iiz San Diego coastal ai-ea, (La Jolla), in 1975
wl�ich after 18 years i7rew to be one of the rhree most i-espected high-end hoil�e
construction companies in the La Jolla, coastal towns, and Rancho Santa Fe area.

bal-ns and an indoor l�oi-se arena.
I was asl<ed by ai-chit�cts to also build in the Aspen area so started a constructioll
company there i�1 2002 building about 20 honles tl�ei-e.
All ��ol-Ic and finance� collapsed in the recession of 2009 and I closed both busin�sses.

STAT� ADU LAWS
During the Jai�uaiy 15, 2020 Hearin��. the To�vn Coiincil directed staff to clarify the 800 square
foot guaranteed allowance. The tollo�-ving is a cl�trilication of�the new ADU laws.
Followinb the passage of AI3 G8. f1B 581, and SB 13 in 2019, substantial amend���ents to
Government Code 65852.2 (accessory dwellii��r w�its) and 65852.22 (junior accessoiy dwellinb
�u�its) became effiective on January 1. 2020 (hereinaf�ter the "State laws.")
(���le �X�ltc'. ����vS nt'OVirlt_' tl��T �t%iil� 11��� c��c_e�ntini� nf� r�r��t�iii� �t�i�ri;ii�ric i•e�crr�irrl tn In�„�I acrr>nri�c
� �- .�.....,... ,
local abencies n�cr�� i�ol impose their o����n desi��n or devclopment stand�irds on the construction of
ADUs. The St1te laws establish a n�imber of standarcis that ��pply to all ADUs. In addition, those
standards which are reserved to loca) agencv discretion include standards related to parl<in��;
hei��ht, setbacl<, landscape, architectural revie�,v. maximum �ize of a unit, standards that prevent
adverse imp�cts on any real property that is listed i�� �he Calitornia Register of Historic
Resources, and lot coverage.
The standards set forth in the proposed "l�o�-vn ordinance either fall withii� these categories or are
set forth by the State laws themselves.
In addition to sig��iticantly limiting the local stand�rds ����hich may be applied to ADUs, the
Le�islat�u�e also createci a '`«u�r�nteed allowance'' for certain /�DUs. This '`guaranteed
TO��'�� OFTIBl:R01' --- 1';1GG: 2 or�
allo�vai�ce" ensures that any local standa�-ds related to size (ii�cluding floor area ratio and
minin�um lot size), lot coverage, and open sp�cc would not be able to applied to prohibit an
nDU. Instead, if a��y of these local standards �-vould other���ise prohibit the consiruction of an
ADU. the applicant may automatic�lly be approved foi- ai� nDtl which is b00 squar� feet in floor
area; has a height of i�o more than 16 feet, and has at least four-foot side and real- yard setbacics.
ai�d/oi- mii�im�u» lot size that apply to an accesso�y d��elli���� ui�it shall i�ot pi-ohibit an accessoiy
dwelling unit with at least an 800 square 'foot of tloor arca. a hei��ht of at least 16 feet, and four-
fioot side a��d rear ya�•d setbacl<s. This State requirei��ent is codified in subsectioi� 16-
52.100(B)(7) of the Town's proposed ordinance. �
Finallv, the State ADU laws also sig��if�icantly limit local agencies' discretion by includin� a
'`carve out'' catebory of ADUs for which no local standards apply. If an applica��t comes for���ard
wit�h ai� ADU or JADU tl�at falls within this cate��ory. the To�v�� may not apply any of its local
standards, and instead may only apply very limited stanclards set forth in section 65852.2(e) ai�d
65852.22. The types of ADUs which fall within this cate�ory are desci�ibed ii� subsectio�� ]6-
51.100(E) of thc Town's p�-oposed ordinance and ��enerally include: one con�ersion ADU a��d
one JADU per lot; o��e detached, new constr�iction ADU: at least oi�e coi�ve�-sioi� �1DU and up to
a total v��hich is equal to 25% of the existi��g ui�its in a multifamily d�velling; and t�wo detached
ADUs on a lot with a multifai��ily dwellinb.
For the reasons set forth above, the Towi�'s discretion has been severely limited by the State laws
ancf those standards wl�ich staff and the City Attorne���s o1'fice believe are coilsist�e��t with the
State laws I�ave been included with tl�e pi-oposed ordinance.
ENVIRONM�NTAL I2EVIEW
The Town Cotiincil determi��ed that the amendments to the zonin� ordinance and to the
accompai�ying standards are stat�ito��ily exEmpt ti�on� fiu-ther ccvie�-v ��nder the California
Environme»tal Quality Act (CEQA) pw�suant to Section 15282. subsection (h) of the CEQA
G�iidelii�es.

Tl�e 2020 Storm Drain Rehabilitation Projcct repairs corru��ated n�etal pipes that are deterioi-ated
and have holes in them. "I,he Project was includcd ii� the 2019/20 Capital Improve»ient Plan and
was fui�ded, based on a preliminary estimatc_ for $1.0 million. This bud�et ass�n��ed the li��es

One line that does need to be upsized will still be lii�ed under this project. This pipe r��ns between
a Caltrans pipe that is deterio�-ated and a pipe running on the RBSD facility under a buiidin�. The
futiu�e replacement of the '�fo�vi� pipe bet�veen th�se pipes sho��ld be done in conjui�ction �n%ith

� Staf�f�notes thlt onl�° o��e bid was received for tl�is project. Sta1�I�believes that thcre are two
�� reasons for this:
I . Veiy fe�-v contractors will enter pipes to grout spaces in severclv detcriorated pipes prior
� to lining. Currently, the majol-ity ol'CMP pipes the �t"own is linin�� need this ty��e of
repair.
2. In 2017/18 ��hen desibninb the last storm dr�in project, regulatory requirements
essentially dictated the �ise ofa folder PVC liner. Additional testin�;. requirements made
cast ii� place pipe (CIPP) both expensive and a lonber project. In addition, the pipe
� needed to be blociced for an extended len;th oftime while testing tool: pl�lce. Staf�f tool<
� the extra step to separate the project i��to two projects to �illo�� CIPP �-vhere it could be
�ised. This drove up desigi� costs. Despite this extra effort and cost. the Town receive no
bids from CIPP contractors. This year the desibn �vas limited to folded PVC pipe.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Thc flnnual Urainage Impt•ovements Project in the 2019/20 CIP was f��nded at $I .0 million.
About �50,000 was spent for the desibn and another $50,000 is expecteci to be used tor
inspection, leavin�� $900,000 for construction. f1s noted pi-evio�isly, the abilitv to line pipes saves
50% of the cost compared to replacement.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Honorable Mayor
Members of the Town Council
Town of Tiburon, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Tiburon, California, as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2019; and the related not��tp#he financial statements, which collectively com�rise the
Town's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principies generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based upon our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free from materiai misstatement.

the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.

Honorable Mayor
Members of the Town Council
Town of Tiburon, California
Opinion
In our opinion, the financiai statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects; the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the Town of Tiburon, as of June 30, 2019, and the respective changes in financial
position thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generaliy accepted in the United States of America require that the management's
discussion and analysis, pension plan schedules, other postemployment benefits plan schedules, and the
respective budgetary comparison information of the general and major funds as listed in the table of
contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not part
of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who
considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for piacing the basic financial statements in an
appropriate operational, economic, or historic context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the
required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America,which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with managemenYs responses to our inquiries,
the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial
statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the
limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any
assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Town of Tiburon's basic financial statements. The combining nonmajor fund
financial statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
financial statements.
The combining nonmajor fund financial statements are the responsibility of management and were
derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling
such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining
nonmajor fund financial statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic
financial statements as a whole.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
As mana��ement of the 'l�own of Tibin�on, we offer reaclers of these financial statements this narrative
overview ancl analysis of the fii�ancial activities of the "T�o�.vn �I�or the fiscal vear ended June 30. 2019 (F1'
2019). We encourage readers to consider the information presei�ted liere in conjunetion �-�ith the "l,own`s
financial statei�ient�s, �vhicl�follo��this clisc�ission and analysis.
OVTRVI�W OF THE BASIC FINANCIAL STAT�MENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introd�iction to the Town's basir tinancial statei��ent�s.
�-vhich consist of three components:
1) Governmei�t-wide Financial Statements
2) Fw�d financial Statements
3) Notes to the Financial Statemei�ts
This report also contains required anci other sti�pplementary i��formation in addition to the basic linancial
statements.
Goveriunent-wide Financi�l Statements
The Government-wide �inancial Statements consist of the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of
Activities. "These statements are desigi�ed to provide readers with a broad overvie��-° of the To�-vn's finai�ces
in a mannee similar to private sector businesses. They provide information about the activities of the 1'o�-vn
as a whole and present a lon�-term view of the Town's�finances.
`I�I�e Statement of Net Position presents i��formation oi� all of the To���n's assets and liabilities, ���ith tl�e
difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decrcases in net positio�� ina��
serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the To�-vn is improvin� or deteriorating.
Tl�e Staten�enT of Activities presents information about how tl�e Town's net positic�n changed during the mott
recent liscal year. All cl�anges in neC position are reported as soon as the ui�derl��in�7 event ��iving rise to th�
change occurs. regardless of the timi»g of related cash flows. Thus. some of the revenuc and expei�se�
re�orted in this statemcnt may result in cash flows only in future fiscal periods. such as re��cnue related t��
uncollected tas�s and interesl espense incurred but not yet paid.

Town of Tiburon
Management's Discussion and Analysis
� Governmental }=unds
� Most ofthe Town's basic services are included in Government Funds. �a�hich �focus on (1) how c�sh and other
� financial assets that can be readily conve��ted to cash. flo�e in ai�d out ancl (2) the bllances remaining at year-
end that are available for spending. Consequently. the Government Funds Financial Statements provide a
� detailed shorT-term view that helps to determine �vhether there are more or fewer financial resources that c�n
be sNent ii� ihe i�eai �iuiure iu iinance ii��e To���n's pro��rams. Because this infori��ation does not encompass
the additional long-teri�� focus oi�the Government-�vide Statements, there is a schedule subsequent to each
� Govermnent Funds Financial Statement that reconciles it to the related Government-wide Pinancial
Statement.
Proprietary Funds
� Serviees �f�or which the Town charges customers a fee are �cner�illy reported in Propcietary Funds.
�� Proprieta�y Funds, lil<e the Government-wide �'inancial Statements, provide both long-term and short-term
financial information. C�u-rently the Town does not require the use of Pro�ricta�y Funds.
� Fiduci�rv Funds
Fiducia�y F�inds are used to account for resources held for the benetit ol� parties outside the municipality,
such as special assessment ciistricts. �=iduciary Funds are not retlected in the Govern���ent-wicle Financial
Statements because those resources are not available to support the"I�o���n's own programs.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The Notes provide adciitional information that is esscntial for a full understanding of the data provided in the
� Govern�nent-wide and Fund Financial Statements. The Notes to the Tinancial SCatements follow the basic
tinancial staTements.

Net position is a meas�n-e of a government's financial position. In the case of the To��n of"1 ib�u�on, assets
e�ceeded liabilities ancl deferred inflows by $47.8 million, a decrease of$3.6 million over the E�rcvious fiscal
year�s net position. By far the largest portion (75%) of the 'To�an's net position retlects its investment in
capital assets (land, buildings, roadways, drainage systems. ai�d cquipmcnt). The To���n uses capital assets to
provide services to its citizens. Coi�sequently, these assets �re not available for future ��ppro��riatioi�s. Tl�e
To���n carries no debt related to its capital assets.

Measurement focus
Certain expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use
of current financial resources and therefore, are not reported as expenditures in

TOWN OF TIBURON
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
Note 1 - Defining the Financial Reporting Entity
The Town of Tiburon (the Town)was incorporated in 1964 under the laws of the State of California. Tiburon
operates under a Council-Manager form of government. The Town provides municipal services to its citizens
including police, public works, community development and general administrative support. These financial
statements present the financial status of the Town and its component unit, as discussed in the following
paragraph.
The Tiburon Public Facilities Financing Authority (the Authority) was established in 1990 pursuant to a joint
powers agreement between the Town and the former Tiburon Redevelopment Agency, to assist in the
clearance and rehabilitation of areas determined to be in a declining condition in the Town. Although the
component unit is legally separate from the Town, it is reported in the statement of fiduciary assets and
liabilities, and its board consists of inembers of the Town Council.
The Town participates in the following Joint Powers Authority agreements (JPAs):
• the Belvedere-Tiburon Joint Recreation Committee
• the Bay Cities Joint Powers Insurance Authority (BCJPIA)
• the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG)
• the Marin Emergency Radio Authority (MERA)
• the Tiburon Peninsula Traffic Relief JPA
The financial activities of the JPAs are not included in the accompanying financial statements because they
are administered by governing boards which are separate from, and independent of the Town.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Polices
The accounting policies of the Town conform to accounting principles generaily accepted in the United States
of America as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board(GASB)is
the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting
principles. The more significant accounting policies of the Town are described as follows:
Financial Statements
The Town's b�sic finartcial St�tPmPnts Gon�ist nf thg fplln�niinn:
• Government-wide financial statements
• Fund financial statements
• Notes to the financial statements
The government-wide financial statements (ie, the statement of net position and the statement of activities)
report information on al!of the non-fiduciary activities of;he primary government. For th�most part,th2 eff2ct
of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities,which normally are
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenue, are reported separately from business-type activities,
which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The statement of activities demonstrates
the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenue. Direct
expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenue
includes (1)charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services,
or privileges provided by a given function or segment and (2) grants and contributors that are restricted to
meeting the operational or capita�! requirements of a particular function or segment taxes.
22
TOWN OF TIBURON
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
Separate fund financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the
fund financial statements.
Fund Accountinq
The accounting system of the Town is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds; each of which
is considered to be a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of
self-balancing accounts that constitute its assets, liabilities,fund equity, revenue,and expenditures/expenses.
Funds are organized into three major categories: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. An emphasis is
placed on majorfunds within the governmental and proprietary categories. A fund is considered"major"if it is
the primary operating fund of the Town or meets the following criteria:
� Total assets, liabilities, revenue, or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental fund or
enterprise fund are at least 10°/o of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type.
■ Total assets, liabilities, revenue, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental fund or
enterprise fund are at least 5% of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds
combined.
• The government has determined that a fund is important to the financial statement user.
The funds of the Town are described as follows:
Governmental Funds
The General Fund is the Town's primary operating fund. It is used to account for ali financial resources
except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than
special assessments, expendable trusts or major capital projects) that are legally restricted to
expenditures for specific purposes.
Capital Projects Funds are used to account for revenue and expenditures restricted to the acquisition or
construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by Proprietary or Trust funds).
Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for; and the payment of,
governmental fund long-term debt, both principal and interest.
Fiduciary Funds
Agency Funds are used to account for assets administered by the Town in a trustee capacity or as an
agent for other governments, primarily special assessment districts. Agency Funds are custodial in
nature (assets and liabilities), and do not involve measurement of results of operations.
Maior Funds
The following are the Town's major funds this year:
o General Fund-this fund is the Town's primary operating fund. It accounts for ail financial resources
of the general government; except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
23
TOWN OF TIBURON
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
: Tiburon Street Impact Fund-this fund is used to account for the collection of impact fees from permits
issued for construction projects within the Town limits, whose use is restricted for street projects.
Basis of Accountinq and Measurement Focus
Basis of accounting refers to when revenue and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts
and reported in the financiai statements. Basis of accounting relates to the#iming of ineasurement made,
regardless of the measurement focus applied.
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenue is recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a
liability is incurred regardiess of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenue in
the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all
eligibility requirements have been met.
In the fund financial statements, all Governmental Funds and Agency Funds are accounted for using the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenue is recognized when it becomes both measurable and
available to finance the expenditures of the current period (susceptible to accruai). Major revenue sources
susceptible to accrual include substantially all property taxes, taxpayer-assessed taxes (such as sales and
use; utility users, business license, transient occupancy; franchise fees and gas taxes}, iriietesi, sp�ciai
assessments levied, state and federal grants, and charges for current services. Revenue from licenses,
permits, fines and forfeits is recorded as received. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability
is incurred. Fiduciary Fund revenue and expenses or expenditures (as appropriate) are recognized on the
basis consistent with the fund's accounting measurement objective.
All Governmental Funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. This
means that only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Their
reported fund balance is considered a measure of"available spendable resources."
Governmental Fund operating statements present increases (revenue and other financing sources) and
decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they present a
summary of sources and uses of"available spendable resources" during a period.
The government-wide financial statement is accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement
focus. This means that all assets and all liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their
activity are inciuded on their statement of net position.
^--�-
�,asn and i�ivesit7i�r�ts
Deposits in financial institutions, money market funds,and the State Treasurer's investment pool are reported
as cash and investments since funds can spend cash at any ti��e without prior notice or penalty. All
investments with fiscal agents are also considered cash equivalents if they are liquid. Investments are stated
at fair value.
Restricted Assets
Certain cash and investments of the Town are classified as restricted because their uses are limited by
revenue sources. When an expense is incurred for purposes for which there are both restricted and
unrestricted cash assets available, restricted cash is used first, then unrestricted cash as it is needed.
Use of Estimates
Financial statement preparation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date ofthe financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
24
TOWN OF TIBURON
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
differ from those estimates.
Receivables and Payables
Property, sales, and use taxes related to the current fiscal year are accrued as revenue and accounts
receivable are considered available if received within 60 days of fiscal year end. Federal and State grants are
considered receivable and accrued as revenue when reimbursable costs are incurred underthe accrual basis
of accounting in the government-wide statement of net position. The amount recognized as revenue under
the modified accrual basis of accounting is limited to the amount that is deemed measurable and available.
The Town considers these taxes available if they are received during the period when settlement of prior
fisca�year accounts payable and payroll charges normally occur. Grants, entitlements or shared revenue are
recorded as receivables and revenue in the general, special revenue, and capital projects funds when they
are received or susceptible to accrual.
Balances representing lending/borrowing transactions between funds outstanding at the end of the fiscal year
are reported as either"due to/due from other funds"(amounts due within one year), "advances to/from other
funds"(non-current portions of interFund lending/borrowing transactions),or"loans to/from otherfunds"(long-
term lending/borrowing transactions as evidenced by loan agreements).
Allowance for poubtful Accounts
Management has elected to record bad debts using the direct write-off inethod. Accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America require that the allowance method be used to refiect bad
debts. However, the effect of the use of the direct write-off inethod is not materially different from the results
that wouid have been obtained had the allowance method been followed.
Capital Assets
Capital assets are reported in the government-wide statement of net position. Capital assets are stated at
historical cost, when available and at estimated replacement cost when original cost was not available.
Donated assets are stated at estimated market value at date of donation. The Town s policy is to capitalize
all capital assets with costs exceeding a minimum threshold of$5,000. Depreciation is recorded using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,which range from five to seventy-five years.
Compensated Absences
Compensated absences represent the vested portion of accumulated vacation and sick leave. The Town's
method of calculating the liability is in accordance with GASB Statement No. 16, except that additional
accruals for salary-related payments associated with the payment of compensated absences, for example,
the employer's share of pension contributions and medicare taxes, have not been accrued as that amount is
not considered significant or material to the financiai statements taken as a whole. In governmental fund
types, the cost of vacation and sick leave benefits is recognized when payments are made to employees.
Lonq-term Obliqations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and obligations are repor-ted as liabilities in the
applicable statement of net position. Bond premiums; issuance costs and discounts are deferred and
amortized over the life of the bond.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well
as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other
financing sources.
Net Position and Fund Balances
The government-wide financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position represents the
difference between assets plus deferred outflow of resources; as compared to liabilities plus deferred inflow
of resources, and is displayed in the foilowing three components:
25
TOWN OF TIBURON
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
■ Net Investment in Capital Assets-this component groups all capital assets, reduced by accumulated
depreciation, and the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the acquisition,construction
or improvement of the assets.
■ Restricted Net Position -this component represents net position that is subject to constraints ei#her
(1) externally imposed by creditors (such as debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or
regulations of other governments or(2) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling
legislation.
■ Unrestricted Net Position-this component represents net position of the Town that is not restricted for
any other purpose.
Governmental funds report fund balance as nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned,
based primarily on the extent to which the Town is bound to honor constraints on how specific amounts can
be spent and are described as follows:
• Nonspendable Fund Balances- amounts that cannot be spent because they are either(a) legally or
contractually required ta �e rtiaii�iained iniaci or (a) r�ot ir� sp�ridabie fiorrr� such as iong-term noies
receivable.
• Restricted Fund Balances - amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by
constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legisiation.
• Committed Fund Balances-amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a
formal action of the Town Council, to establish, modify or rescind a fund balance commitment.
• Assigned Fund Balances - amounts that are constrained by the government's intent to be used for
specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed, as
determined by a formal action or policy of the Town Council or its appointed official.
• Unassigned Fund Balances - the residual classification for the governmenfi's general fund and
includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications.
The Town has set aside amounts for emergency situations or revenue shortages or budgetary imbalances,
commoniy referred to as revenue stabilization. The authority to set aside those amounts qenerally comes
from statue, ordinance, resolution; constitution or policy. Stabilization amounts may be expended with
Council approval only when certain specific circumstances exist as determined by Council at that time. When
expenditures are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted amounts are available, it is
the Town's policy to expend restricted fund balances first. When expenditures are incurred for purposes for
which committed, assigned, or unassigned amounts are available, it is the Town's policy to expend
committed, then assigned, then unassigned amounts in that order.
Other Postemployment Benefits Plan (OPEB)
In government-wide financial statements, as required by GASB Statement No. 75, OPEB plans are required
to be recognized and disclosed using the accrual basis of accounting, regardless of the amount recognized
as OPEB expenditures on the governmental fund statements, which use the modified accrual basis of
accounting.
The Town recognizes a net OPEB liabi�ity, which represents the excess of the total OPEB liability over the
fiduciary net position (plan assets ownec� as reflected in the actuarial report provided by the plan actuarial
analyst. The net OPEB liability is measured as of the To�Nn's prior fiscal year-end. Changes in the net OPEB
26
TOWN OF TiBURON
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
liability are recorded, in the period incurred, as OPEB expense or as deferred inflows of resources or deferred
outflows of resources depending on the nature of the change. The changes in net OPEB liability that are
recorded as deferred inflows of resources or deferred outflows of resources (that arise from changes in
actuarial assumptions or other inputs and differences between expected or actual experience)are amortized
over the weighted average remaining service life of all participants in the respective OPEB plan and are
recorded as a component of OPEB expense beginning with the period in which they are incurred.
Pension Plan
In government-wide financiai statements, as required by GASB Statement No. 68, retirement plans are
required to be recognized and disclosed using the accrual basis of accounting, regardless of the amount
recognized as pension expenditures on the governmental fund statements, which use the modified accrual
basis of accounting.
The Town recognizes a net pension liability, which represents the Town's proportionate share of the excess
of the total pension liability over the fiduciary net position (plan assets owned)of the pension reflected in the
actuarial report provided by the California Public Employees Retirement System(CaIPERS). The net pension
liability is measured as of the Town's prior fiscal year-end. Changes in the net pension liability are recorded,
in the period incurred, as pension expense or as deferred inflows of resources or deferred outflows of
resources depending on the nature of the change. The changes in net pension liability that are recorded as
deferred inflows of resources or deferred outflows of resources (that arise from changes in actuarial
assumptions or other inputs and differences between expected or actual experience)are amortized overthe
weighted average remaining service life of all participants in the respective pension plan and are recorded as
a component of pension expense beginning with the period in which they are incurred.
Property Taxes
Property taxes in the State of California are administered for all local agencies at the County level and consist
of secured, unsecured, and utility tax rolis. The following is a summary of major policies and practices
relating to property taxes:
> Property Valuations-are established by the Assessor of Marin County for the secured and unsecured
property tax rolls; the utility property tax roll is valued by the California State Board of Equalization.
Under the provisions of Article XI IIA of the State Constitution (Proposition 13, adopted by the voters
on June 6, 1978), properties are assessed at 100°/o of full value From this base of assessment,
subsequent annual increases in valuation are limited to a maximum of 2%. However, increase to full
value is allowed for property improvements or upon change in ownership. Personal property is
excluded from these limitations and is subject to annual reappraisal.
� Tax Levies - are limited to 1% of full assessed value which results in a tax rate of$1.00 per $100
assessed valuation under the provisions of Proposition 13.Tax rates for voter-approved indebtedness
are exciuded from this limitation.
:- Tax Levy Dates-are attached annually on January 1, preceding the fiscal yearforwhich the taxes are
levied. The fiscai year begins July 1 and ends June 30 of the following year. Taxes are levied on
both reai and unsecured personal property. Liens against real estate, as well as the tax on personai
property, are not relieved by subsequent renewal or change in ownership.
> Tax Collections-are the responsibility of the Marin County's tax collector.Taxes and assessments on
secured and utility rolis, which constitute a lien against the property, may be paid in two installments:
The first is due on November 1 of the fiscal year and is delinquent if not paid by December 10; and
the second is due on March 1 of the fiscal year and is delinquent if not paid by April 10. Unsecured
personal property taxes do not constitute a lien against property unless the taxes become delinquent.
27
TOWN OF TIBURON
Notes to Financial Statements
. June 30, 2019
Payment must be made in one installment, which is delinquent if not paid by August 31 of the fiscal
year. Significant penalties are imposed by the County for late payments.
� Tax Levy Apportionments - due to the nature of the Town-wide maximum levy, it is not possible to
identify general-purpose tax rates for specific entities. Under State legislation adopted subsequent to
the passage of Proposition 13, apportionments to local agencies are made by each County auditor-
controller based primarily on the ratio that each agency represented of the total Town-wide levy for the
three fiscal years prior to fiscal year 1979.
> Property Tax Administration Fees-the State of California fiscal year 1990-91 Budget Act authorized
Counties to collect an administrative fee for its coliection and distribution of property taxes.
Note 3- Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
Budqetarv Information
The Town follows these procedures annually in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
1. The Town Manager submits to the Town Council a proposed draft budget for the fiscal year commencing
the following July 1. The budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. The Town Council reviews the proposed budget at special scheduled sessions which are open to the
public. The Council also conducts a public hearing on the proposed budget to obtain comments from
interested persons.
3. Prior to July 1, the budget is adopted through the passage of a resolution.
4. From the effective date of the budget, which is adopted and controlled at the department level. the
amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures become appropriations to the various Town
departments. The Town Council may amend the budget by resolution during the fiscai year. The Town
Manager may authorize transfers from one object or purpose to anotherwithin the same department. and
between departments within the General Fund. All appropriations lapse at year end.
Economic Deqendency
In fiscal year 2018-19, the Town received 53% of its total general fund revenue from one source; property
taxes. Hny reduc'tion in assessed property vaiues or reauctions in the i own's property tax share aue to the
State's ongoing budget issues could impair the Town's operating budget.
Revenue Limitations Imposed By California Proposition 218
Proposition 218,which was approved by the voters in November 1996, regulates the Town's ability to impose,
increase, and extend taxes, assessments, and fees. Any new, increased, or extended taxes, assessments,
and fees subject to the provisions of Proposition 218, require voter approval before they can be implemented.
Additionally, Proposition 218 provides that these taxes, assessments, and fees are subject to the voter
initiative process and may be rescinded in future years by the voters.

Note 4 - Cash and Investments
The Town follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds except for restricted funds required
to be held by outside custodians, fiscal agents or trustees under the provisions of bond indentures. Cash and
investments are classified in the accompanying financial statements as follows:
Statement of Net Position
Cash and investments $ 22,982,129
Statement of Fiduciary Assets
Cash and in�stments with Town 1,037,124
Cash investments held by fiscal agent 56,754
$ 24,076,007
Cash and Investments are comprised of the following:
Deposits with financial institutions:
checking accounts $ (177,726)
Investment in State Investment Pool 24,196,979
US Treasury money market funds 56,754
$ 24,076,007
Investment in State Investment Pool
The Town is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investrnent Fund (LAIF). LAIF, established in 1977,
is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 and under the day to day administration of the
California State Treasurer. There is a five member Local Investment Advisory Board that is chaired by the
State Treasurer. LAIF determines fair value of its investment portfolio based on market quotations for those
securities where market quotations are readily available, and on amortized cost or best estimate for those
securities where market value is not readily available. LAIF is part of the Pooled Money Investment Account
(PMIA) and under the control of the State Treasurer's Office, which is audited by the Bureau of State Audits
on an annual basis. At fiscal year-end PMIA had approximately$106 billion in investments. Audited financial
statements of PMIA may be obtained from the California State Treasurer.
The fair value of the Town's investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at
amounts based upon the Town's pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF forthe entire LAIF portfolio
(in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the
accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
Disclosures Relatinq to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to
changes in market interest rates.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the Town's investments to market interest rate
fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the rr�aturity date and yield of each investment:
Maturity/Yield
State investment pool (LAIF) $24,196,979 6 months average maturity, 2.4% yield
Trustee money market funds 56,754 due on demand, 0.30% yield
29
TOWN OF TIBURON
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
Disclosures Relatinq to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the
investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationaily recognized statistical rating
organization. LAIF does not have a rating provided by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the Town contains limitations on the amount that can be invested in any single
issuer as follows: 5% for negotiable certificates of deposit and commercial paper, 15% for money market
funds; 20%for federal agencies and US GSEs, and no limit for US Treasury Securities and LAIF. There are
no investments in any single issuer that represent 5% or more of total Town investments. Nearly 99%of the
Town's cash and investments at fiscal year-end were invested in LAIF.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution,a
government will not be abie to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in
the possession of an outside party. The California Government Code and the Town's investment policy do
not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits,other
than the following provision for deposits: "the California Government Code requires that a financial institution
secure d�posits made by state ar local governmental units by pledging �ecurities in an undivi��� coHate�ai
pool held by a depository regulated under state law(unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market
value of the pledged securities in the coilateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited
by the public agencies." Ca�ifornia law also allows financial institutions to secure Town deposits by pledging
first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150%of the secured public deposits. At fiscal year end the
Town had $113,064 that was not covered by depository insurance but collateralized by either marketable
securities, first trust deed mortgage notes, or a combination of both.
The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g.,
broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover tne value of its investment or
collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the
Town's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial
credit risk for investments. With respect to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies only to direct
investments in marketable securities. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government's indirect
investment in securities through the use of mutual funds or government investment pools (such as LAIF).

Note 7- Special Assessment District Bond Obligations
The Town acts as an agent for collection of property taxes and repayment of several special assessment
district improvement bonds issued on behaif of these districts located within the Town's boundary limits.
Since the Town is not obligated in the event of any manner for these special assessment bonds,debt service
payments, or default, the debt is not recorded in these financial statements.
In 2016, the Board of Directors of the Tiburon Public Financing Authority determined that it was in the best
interest of the Town and the various Special Assessment Districts to refund the existing bonds issued by
several Special Assessment Districts which will result in savings in effective interest rates,thereby resulting in
significant public benefits to the Town and the Authority within the contemplation of Section 6586 of the
California Bond Law. The Board authorized the issuance and sale of $10,505,000 revenue bonds for the
purpose of financing the acquisition of reassessment bonds for the Town of Tiburon 2016 Consolidated
Reassessment District.
At fiscal year end, the outstanding balance of the "Town of Tiburon Limited Obligation Refunding Bonds 2016

Overview of the Pian
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pension (GASB 75), requires public employers to comply with new
accounting and financial reporting standards. Under GASB 75, employers that participate in an OPEB plan
administered as a trust or equivalent arrangement are required to record their portion of the net OPEB liability,
OPEB expense, and deferred outflows/deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB plans in their financial
statements as part of their financial position. Net OPEB liability is the plan's total OPEB liability less the
plan's fiduciary net position (plan assets owned). This may be a net OPEB asset when the Plan's fiduciary
net position exceeds its total OPEB liability. OPEB expense is the change in net OPEB liability from the
previous reporting period to the current reporting period less adjustments. This may be a negative expense
(OPEB income),which shouid be reported as a credit in OPEB expense. Deferred outfiows of resources and
deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB plans are certain changes in total OPEB liability and fiduciary
net position that are to be recognized in future OPEB expense.
Plan Description and EliqibilitV
The Town of Tiburon provides retiree medical benefits to employees who retire from the Town at age 50 or
Iat2I"With at (eaSt 5 yeai"S of SP_.rvi�P_. and �rP PlinihlP fOC a CaIPFR� nPn�inn. FmninyPP� �nrhn rPtira rliia tn
disability are also eligible. Dental benefits are not provided to retirees. The amount and type of benefit is
contingent upon date of hire.
In addition to the above, retirees with 15 or more years of Town service are eligible to receive a monthly
benefit based on the monthly premium charged by CaIPERS for Kaiser single person coverage. However,
this benefit does not apply to Manager and Mid-Management employees hired after July 1, 2009, Police
employees hired after July 1, 2010, or SEIU employees hired after July 1, 2014.
The benefit amount is the below percentage of the Kaiser premium at the time of retirement. The amounts,
which are paid by the Town directly to retirees, are fixed at retirement and do not increase in subsequent
years. The benefit amount does not decrease at age 65 even though Kaiser Premiums decrease
substantially at that age. This benefit continues only for the life of the retiree.
15 — 19 years of service 50%
20 —24 years of service 75%

Retirees may select any retiree medical plan offered by CaIPERS, inciuding spouse or family coverage, but
must incur the cost of premiums exceeding the above benefits.
Employees Covered
As of the June 30, 2018 actuarial valuation, the following current and former employees were covered by the
benefit terms:
Active employees 37

Contributions
The obligation of the Town to contribute to the plan is established and may be amended by the Town Council.
The contribution required to be made is based on a pay-as-you-go basis(ie, as medical insurance premiums
become due). The employer cash cor�tributions totaled $174,596 for the year.

Note 90- Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Overview of the Plan
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Pensions (GASB 68), requires pubiic employers to comply with new accounting and financial reporting
standards. GASB 68 outiines a different approach to the recognition and calculation of pension obligations.
Under GASB 68, employers that participate in a defined benefit pension plan administered as a trust or
equivalent arrangement are required to record their portion of the net pension liability, pension expense,and
deferred outflows/deferred inflows of resources related to pensions in their financial statements as part of
their financial position. Net pension liability is the plan's total pension liability based on the entry age normal
actuarial cost method less the plan's fiduciary net position (plan assets owned). This may be a net pension
asset when the Plan's fiduciary net position exceeds its totai pension liability. Pension expense is the change
in net pension liability from the previous reporting period to the current reporting period less adjustments.
This may be a negative expense(pension income),which should be reported as a credit in pension expense.
Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions are certain changes in
total pension liability and fiduciary net position that are to be recognized in future pension expense.
Summary of Siqnificant Accountinq Policies
For purposes of ineasuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Plan
and additions to/deductions from the Plan's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis.
For this purpose; benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when
currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
General Information about the Pension Plan:
The Plan is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the California
Public Employees Retirement System(CaIPERS). A full description of the pension plan regarding number of
employees covered, benefit provisions, assumptions (for funding, but not accounting purposes), and
membership information are listed in the Plan's June 30, 2019 Annuai Actuarial Valuation Report (funding
valuation). Details of the benefits provided can be obtained in Appendix B of the actuarial valuation report. '
This report and CaIPERS' audited financial statements are pubiicly available reports that can be obtained at
CaIPERS website: https:/!www.calpers.ca.gov
Contribution Description
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees' Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer
contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be

TOWN OF TIBURON
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined
through CaIPERS' annual actuarial valuation process.
The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by
employees during the year,with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability.The employer
is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of
employees. Employer contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended. Payments made by the
employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identified by the pension plan terms as plan member
contribution requirements are classified as plan member contributions.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liabilitv
The June 30, 2017 valuation was rolled forward to determine the June 30, 2018 total pension liability, based
on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:

Projected Salary Increases Varies by Entry Age and Service
Investment Rate of Return 7.0% net of investment expenses

Plan Fiduciary Net Position (plan assets ownec� 28,172,641
Net Pension Plan Liability 7,934,808
Pension plan expense for the fiscal year $ 912,564
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15 percent. To determine whether the
municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of the discount rate for each plan, CaIPERS stress
tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially
assumed discount rate. The tests revealed the assets wouid not run out. Therefore,the current 7.15 percent
ciiscount rate is appropria�e and ihe use of the municipal bond rate caiculation is not deemed necessary. The
long-term expected discount rate of 7.15 percent is applied to all plans in the Public Employees' Retirement
Fund (PERF). The cash flows used in the testing were developed assuming that both members and
employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. The stress test
results are presented in a detailed report called "GASB Crossover Testing Report" that can be obtained at
CaIPERS website under the GASB 68 section.

TOWN OF TIBURON
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block
method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment
expense and inflation)are developed for each major asset class. in determining the long-term expected rate
of return, CaIPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the
expected pension fund (PERF)cash flows. Taking into account historical returns of all the Public Employees
Retirement Funds' asset classes (which includes the agent plan and two cost-sharing plans or PERF A, B,
and C funds), expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years)
and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for
both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each PERF fund. The
expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same
present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns.
The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded
down to the nearest one quarter of one percent.
The table below reflects long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was
calculated using the capital market assumptions appiied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation.
The target allocation shown was adopted by the Board effective on July 1, 2014.
Asset Class Allocation
Global Equity 50.00%
Fixed Income 28.00%
Private Equity 8.00°/o
Real Assets 13.00%
Liquid Assets 1.00%

Subsequent Events
There were no subsequent events that would materially affect the results presented in this disclosure.
Amortization of Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources
Under GASB 68, gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are
recognized in pension expense systematically over time.
The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The
remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to
pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense.
The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss, as follows:
• Net Difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments: 5 year straight-
line amortization.
• Ali Other Amounts: Straight-line amortization over the expected average remaining service lifetime
(EARSL) of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the
beginning of the measurement period.
Sensitivity of the Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability to Chanqes in the Discount Rate

General Liabilitv
The Town participates in the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG Plan), a Joint Exercise of Power
Agency. The ABAG Plan provides the Town with coverage for general liability, excess liability, public official
bond, property, and crime insurance, with various deductibles. For those liability claims below$50,000 per
occurrence, the Town is self-insured. ABAG Pian members may receive rebates when so deciared by ABAG.
In the event excess liability claims exceed available resources, members may be required to make additional
contributions.
The ABAG Plan is a self-insured, risk-sharing pool comprised of 100 member local agencies,counties,towns
and cities in the San Francisco-Oakland, North and East Bay areas. The governing body includes one
person from each member town, Town, or agency with an annual election for the executive committee
positions. Financial statements may be obtained from ABAG, Post Office Box 2050, Oakland, California

Note 14 -New Pronouncements
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has released the following new pronouncements,
which can be read in their entirety at http://www.gasb.org
GASB Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities
Effective Date: The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after `
December 15, 2018. Earlier application is encouraged. (Issued 01/17)
The objective of this Statement is to improve guidance regarding the identification of fiduciary activities for
accounting and financial reporting purposes and how those activities should be reported. This Statement
establishes criteria for identifying fiduciary activities of all state and local governments. The focus of the
criteria generally is on (1) whether a government is controlling the assets of the fiduciary activity and (2)the
beneficiaries with whom a fiduciary relationship exists. Separate criteria are included to identify fiduciary
39
TOWN OF TIBURON
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
component units and postemployment benefit arrangements that are fiduciary activities. An activity meeting
the criteria should be reported in a fiduciary fund in the basic financial statements. Governments with
activities meeting the criteria should present a statement of fiduciary net position and a statement of changes
in fiduciary net position. An exception to that requirement is provided for a business-type activity that normally
expects to hold custodial assets for three months or less. This Statement describes four fiduciary funds that
should be reported, if applicable: (1) pension (and other employee benefit) trust funds, (2) investment trust
funds, (3) private-purpose trust funds, and (4) custodial funds. Custodial funds generally should report
fiduciary activities that are not held in a trust or equivalent arrangement that meets specific criteria.
GASB Statement No. 87. Leases
Effective Date: For reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. (Issued 06/17)
The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financiai statement users by
improving accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments. This Statement increases the
usefulness of governments'financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities
for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or
outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the contract. It estabiishes a single model for
lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an
underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible
right-to-use lease assef, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivabfe and a deferred inflow of
resources, thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about governments' leasing
activities.

In 2014, Council approved an Inte�rated Pest Management Policy (IPM) that allows for the
lii��ited use ofherbicides to conti•ol weeds and/or ii�vasive species. In Ja»ua�y 2019, attel• �
posting notices prior to applying herbieide in accordance with the IPM, stafl�received thr�e
e-mails e�pressing concern about the use of Lifeline, the herbicide we cur�i-ently usc in
accordance with d�e IPM. In addition, several Councilmembers inquired about the policy and
suggested it be added to a futui•e Council agenda for discussion. 7'his Stafl,Report provides a
broacl overview of the current IPM policy/program and seeks direction from Council regarding
potential furChei• review and possible ►•evisions to the policy.
12�CONINI�NDLll ACTION(S)
1. Direct staff to plaee an item on a futu►-e Parlcs, Open Space and �l�rails (POST)
Co���mission agenda to conduct a �-eview ofthe IPM Policy a��d provide
recommendations to Council re;arding possible changes to the policy, or
2. Dii-ect staff to return to Council at a fiature Council meetin� with a revised (PM
Polic-� to onl address ide»tified disci-e ancies in the c�lrrent �olicv.
1�ACKGROUND
In July 2104. as a requiremei�t of the Towi�'s Ml�nicipal Stormwater Per»iit, the To��n adopted an
lnte��rated Pest Mana«ement Policy (IPM) (Exhibit 1) by Resolution (Txl�ibit 2) ii� a 5-0 vote of
Council. lt has n��w been ��early six years since the IPM ���as adopted.
As adopted. the 1PM allows for the limited use of herbicidE for the spot treat�ment of���eeds and
invasive species. �vith the application o1� material typically do��e by spra��in�� «�ith a bacl<pacl<
spriyer. The IPM prohibits the use of any herbicide that is a Type A or B (I<i�own or probable)
carcino��ei�s. as ���el) as mutabens and reproductive toains. Based on this criterio��. in 2014 the
To�vn� or�Ti�uRo�� P:�cE 1 or s
Town Col�ncil Meetin��
F'ebruaiy 19, 2020
IPM identitied Round Up Pro as the product that �vould be used ii� the limited circ�imstances
outlined in the IPM.
Glypl�osate, the active i��gi-edicnt in Round-up Pro �vas placed on the California Proposition 65
List in July 2017. Proposition 65. ofticially I<i�o�vn as the Sate Drii�l<ing Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986, was enacted as a ballot initiative in November 1986. The proposition
protects the state's dri��l<in� �vater sources from bein�� contaminated with chemicals I<nowi� to
cause cancer, birt�h defects or other repi�oductive harm, and requires businesses to inform
Californians abo�it expos�n-es to such chemieals. Proposition 65 requires thE state to maii�tain and
update a list (Prop 65 List) of chemicals I:no�vn to the state to ca�ise cancer or reprod�ictive
toxicity. Subseq�ient to Glyphosate being placed oi� the Prop 65 List, sta�fl�ceased use of Round
Up Pro and began researchin� alternati�-es. Ultimately, a product called Lifeline �vas chosen, and
in June 2018, staff beban utilizing Lifcline in accordance with the IPM.
�I,l�e IPM requires postinb in public areas p��ior ro applying he�-bicides. Each year when we bebin
to post for planned herbicide use, we tvpically receive several e-mails fi-om concerned citizens,
whicl� we respoi�d to by providing the residents a copy of the 1PM.
On .lan��aiy 22, 2020, Public Worl<s st�ff postecl an area near Blacl:ie's Pasture indicating we
E��oi�ld be spr�t}�inb Lifeline: Shaetly tl�ereaf-ter; staf�f� r�eceivccl thi�cc c-mails fi•a��� coi�ce�-i�ed
citirei�s. Subsequent to receivinb these e-mails, statf also coimnunicated with several
Councilmembers on this issue ���ho expressed an interest in havinb this issue come befo►-e Council
for review. Based on this comm�inication. staff decided to delay the planned sprayin� and
scheduled the review for tonibht's meeting.
Specicrl Note
While preparing for this review, staff discovered the version of IPM that has been posted on
the Town's �vebsite since 2014 was an ea►•lier draft of the IPM rather than the final version
that was adopted by Council. In addition,since 2014, st�►f'f h��s becn using this earlier draft
as the guiding policy documer�t fo�- implementing the IPM progr�m. There are 2 significant
difl'erences between the draft ancl the adopted versions:
1. The earlier draft containecl an internal conflict regarding spraying at Town Hall and
the Police Station. in the draft, there are references to � prohibition on spraying at
To�vn I-Iall anc3 the Police Station, but also references to rules about spl•aying at these
iii�Fiiivii�. i iic^ iiii��i nLivj�i2ii 'v'ci'Siiiii �i�iii'v'2i iiii� iiiSci c�iiiiic� i)� aiii��'viiib v'l"
spraying at To���n Hall and the Police Station witl� ��roper notice and postin�.
2. The earlier draft specifically ���rohibitecl sp►•aying in picnic areas,while the adopted
version is silent on picnic areas. It is likel�� this specitic prohibition was removed
because, at the time of writing the policy, tl�e only picnic areas in Tibu�•on were in
playgrounds,�vhere spraying ���as already specific�lly p►•ohibited.

ANALYSIS
Stuff�/�as wor/�erl to reduce herbicirle use
Pei� the 1PM. Tib��ron Public Worl<s staff strive to usc non-chemical i�ieans to control ���ccds a��d
invasive species whenever practical. "This i��cludes hand pullii���. ���ecd ���hacicin��. and the use of
�-veed blocl<fabl-ic and mulch.
Statt�has also loolced for other ways to minimize herbicide use. Foi-example, The Open Space
Mana�eil�ent Plan (OSMP) approved by Council in 2010, states. '`The most con�mon and most
efi�f�ective treatments include hand or mechanical e�itting of the ve�,�etatioi� with a follow—tip oi�
herbicidal a�plication to the cut st�im��s." Durin� tl�e �tirst several years al�ter the OSMP approval.
F�-ench Broo��� occ�u�ring in ow-Open Space was co��t��oll�d usin�� this method. � fe��� years a«o,
we eliminated the use of herbicide and bega�� coi�trolling French Broom by coi�ti��etin<� with
Cons�i�vation Corps to hand p�ill broo�n ai�d other i��vasive species in our open space ��rope��ties.
Staft�not�es that tl�e cost oi�open space ma��abeme��t� has t�ripled durin�,� these year-s.
As i�oted earlier, Glyphosate, thc active ingredient in Ro�ind Up Pro was placed on the States
Pro�� 65 list i�� 2017, at wl�ich point, staff ceased using it and ultimately chose Lifeline as an
alternative.
Wh�rt�rlle�•nrrtives clid we consider?
After ceasing the use of Rou»dup PRO, staff lool<ed at several solutions incluclin�� non-chemical
solutions. natural solutions and comi��ercial herbicides.
No��-chemical solutioi�s—Our staff loolced at a $20.000+ machi��e that used steam and a foam
solution to control weeds. The demonstration for this was att�ended by staff fi-om Mill Valley. the
County and others. To date we la�ow of no municipality that has clecided to pu�-chase the
i��achine. We also researched an electrical zap »�achine to coi�trol weeds, and brie�l�7y considered
flamc control but dismissed this idea due to concerns over�[�ire risl:.
Nat�u�al Solutions - We loolced at or tried five different naturai commereial product�s ii�eludin<�
E3urn��ut and Pulverize. Bui-nout contains citric acid and clove i�il. Staf��learned fi�om other
asencies that tried this that the product(s) did not worl<. Pulverize Weed & Grass Killcr contains
�he active in�redie��t ammoniated soap of fatty acids. Staff tried this ancl it �����s not etfective. A
solution of Vii�e�ar ai�d Epsom salt���as tried by ���embers of th� Greei� Team ancl also proved
inei�fective.
Commercial Herbicides - We researched at least 23 diffei-ent commercial products recommei�d�d
by othel�agencies, our landscape contractol-and a local supplier. "I�hese can be categorized intc�
Organic. pre-emergent and post emer<ie��t products. Oui� selection criteria ii�cludcd:
1. No Glyphosate (Active ingredient in Roui�d Up Pro)
2. Caution or safer ii� accol-dai�ce with the 1PM. No Vvarnin<� or Danger label pi-oducts.
3. Spot application rather than broadcast spray ii� accorda��ce ���ith the IPM.
4. Cost e�fFectivei�ess ai�d weed reductioi� effectiveness ii� accordance with the IPM.

Noi�-Syi�thetic products—Thel�c is a currently a push to use organic non-synthetic products. We
conside�-eci and rej�cted six of�these. "l�hree ofthe six had "Warning" (abels. Our 1PM states tl�at
we sho�ild not use a Warnin�� label if a Caution label is av�ilabl�. The City of Novato informcd
us that one of the remainin�� three did not ���orl<. In addition, all six products:
� 1. Require an additional s�u-factant be used which h�s a "Ca�ition" warning.
2. Ne�d to be used morc often and cost 4-5 times more.
3. Require a ���armer temperat�n-e. 70 degrees, to worl< well. The averabe maximum
daily temperature does not reach 70 in Tiburon iintil June or July. (That temperature is
reached a couple montl�s earlier in Novato, San Raf�ael and Petaluma.)
A discussed eai-lier, and based on the �u�alysis described above, Lifeline was chosen as the
product we would utilize in the limited instances outlined i�� the IPM. Howeve�-, it is ii��portai�t to
note that althoubh ���e currently utilize Lifeline, �ve are al��ays seel<ing to assess new alte�-natives
as we become aware o�f them. For example, stal��f�-ecently �ttended a seminar entitled `Beyond
Synthetic Pesticides'' where they learned of a new organic herbicide with the brand name
`Weedslayer`. Follo�vin��tl�e scmin�r. we acqui�-ed a sample o1�tl�is prod��et and a�-e currently
testinb it in a non-public ��se area to gaubE its eI'fectiveness.
�,i�I�L'�131C' C,�l L'L'llVL,?
Lifeline worl<s well and is the most effective alternative �-e have tried that meets the criteria in
the IPM. 1-lo�vever, based on our experienee, it is not as effective as Round�ip PRO, �vhich can be
used in temperatures do���n to 53 degrees, can be used on large weeds and is more effectivc on
select invasive species, includii�<r Kil:uyu grass, which �vas a pervasiv� problEm in the `old'
Mc1<e�ney Green.
To be effective, Li'1�eline must be applied to weeds under 3 inches in hei�ht. Tl�is necessitates
spraying bebinning in late Janu�ry. To be most effective. the temperat�n�e needs to be warm, and
the plants need to be dry and in sunlight. The above is not just staff e�perience, it is tal<en
directly from the Liteline product label. While the label does not define "warm", other reading
on this issue indicates 65 to 70 de��i-ees. While Lifeline is rainfast in 4 hours, we do i�ot spray if
there is a 50% chance of rain in the next 24 hours. To avoid drift, we do not spray if Che wind is
over 10 mph. Ii� accordance with the II'M, wc must i�otice an area 48 ho�n-s in ldvance.

Lifeline is rainfast in foiu� ho�u-s. Per the IPM, �-vc do not spray ii�there is � 50% chai�ce of 1-ain in

Whut are otl�e��i�2ainicipnlities cloina?
As part of preparing this Staff Report, stafif has revie���ed IPMs and practices ii� i�ine local
jurisdictions. Most IPMs are like o�u-s except most allow the �ise ofi insecticides. which ar�e i�ot
allowed in ou�• IPM.
There have been fo��r recent 1PM reviews that are signiticant: The County oi�Marin, and the
Cities of San Raiael, Petalim�a and Rohnert Parl:.
The County of Marin. The Cow�ty has been n�ovin�� away fi-oi�i synthetic pesticides. The 2018
lPM report for Marit� Colmty notes that they i��creased the use of conventional product
applicatio��s (l l°/o increase over previous ye�r) and organic products (18% increase over previous
year). The Cotiu�ty ��sed three types of orbanic pesticides in 2018. One coi�tained a Warning label,
which, per the IPM, the Town cannot use when a Caution label product is available. One product
was used on turf and the Tiburon IMP does not allow sprayii�g hei�bicides on tur1: The third was
for mosquito control and the IPM does ��ot allo�-t pesticides for mosquito coi�trol by Towt� staff.
]n sl�o�•t; nonE ofthe o��ga��ic pesticides used by the Counry in 2018 would be allowed under
Tiburon`s IPM.
In 2019, Marin Co�u�ty sig��ifcantly �-eciuced the use of pesticides. including the use o�l�organic
herbicides. The Co�u�ty no lonber �ises herbicides on t�n-1: or ii� parl<s and in their words, are
"learnin�to live with weeds".

Approved By: Town Council, July 16, 2014
In�rod�action
The Town of Tiburon Public Works Qepartment is committed to a compr�hensive
Integrated Pest Management (IPM} program guiding the management af its parks,
fandscaped areas and other public lands.
The purpase of this IPM program is to ensure and enh�nce the heaith, saf�ty �nd
welfare of citizens, visitors anci Tc�wn staff by clearly defining the Tovvn's pest
man�gement s#rategy, the priorities for administering this strategy and the various
means by which these priorities m�y be rea(ized. Public access ta records and
informatian relating to the Tawrt's p�sticide use is an essenti�l component of a
successful ]PM program and the Tovvn is fully committed to providing all perkinent
inforrrrafiion to the public in a timeiy, comprehensive and understandable manner.
Additionally, it is the purpose and infenfi of this IPM policy fo reduc� reliance on and
minimize use af pesticides, as define� in Section 12753 of Chapter 2 of Division 7 of
the California Food and Agricu{turai Code which threaten water quality during Town
operations and on Town proper#y.
The Pubiic Works Deparfinent realizes some pesticides are patentially hazardous �o
human heafth and the environment, and shall administer this 1P�/f �rogram vvith a focus
on (or�g term supr�ression of pPst pr�bl�ms with minim�l imn�ct on human hP�lth; n�n-
�arget org�nisms and the envirc�nment. Least toxic pesticides are used oniy �ffer
monitoring indicates such a need, pursuant to the �rovisions of this policy.
UVhat is IP6�
IPM is a d�cisian-making process for managing pests to determine if pest injury levels
warrant treatment. It combines biologic�{, cultural, rnecf�anical, r�iiysical �nd chemic�l
tools and other management practices to control pests in � safe, �ost effective and
environment�(ly sound m�nner that contributes to the pratection of public heai���. This
method uses extensive knowledge about pests such as infestations, thresholds, life
histories, environmental requirements and natural enemies to complemenf and facilitate
S:/PW/MD/IPM/AR2 � -1-
biological �nd other natural contral of pests. iPivl invoives the use of nanchemic�( pest
control methods and the careful use of least toxic chemical methods when nonchemical
methods have been exhaus�ed or are not feasible. When {PM is proper(y implemented
ch�mica! controls are used only �s a last resort. They are used as spot treatments and
are c6�asen and tirned to have the smalfest neg�tive irnp�c� an r�on-t�rget arganisms
anc� the environment. IPM doe� not have percent�ge cut backs and benchmarks in it,
rath�r it states to manitor and use the least toxic methods ta reduce the pest to a
manag�ble level.
�ceape c�f I�l�1 Policy
This policy gov�rns not only Depa�kment of Public Works employees but alsa {andscape
contr�ctors hired by the Deparkmenfi and persc�ns acting under the authority of the
De�artment in the care and maintenance of Town parks, medians, I�ndscaped areas,
and other essential puf�{ic lands. Although it is understood that the term "pesticicie° is a
general term that includes h�rbicides, insecticides, fungicide�, rodenticides etc., the
prim�ry focus of fhis policy is to address the Town's use c�f herbicides.
As the Tawn plans for the maintenance and rehabilitation of existing areas, specific
attention will be directed toward including specificatic�ns that eliminate ar reduce the
need for chemicai pesticide� (e.g., me�w strips next to fencing, covering a(I new planting
areas wifh mulch, etc.).
IP� Gt�a�s
As used in this policy, a "Category I, "Categary 11,,, Categc�ry II(" and "Categr�ry 1V„
pesticide shai! refer to a pesticide product that falls within the commensurate toxicity
category specified in Section 156.10 of Title 4Q of the Cade of Federal Regulations and
bearing on t�e front label panel the word Danger, Warning, or Caution, as required
therein.
IPN! goais reg�rding pesticide selection and use shall include but not be limited to:
1. Elir�iination of Categoty I and 1l pestiGides.
2. Minimizatian of Category lfl and 111 p�sticides.
3. Elimination of pesticides that are classifieci by gavernment �gencies as
carcinogenic, reproductive toxicants (teratogems, mutagens), endocrine
disruptors, carb�mates, organopht�sphates or ground water contaminants.
4. Use of pesticides only when necessary and empioying a pesticide that is both
effective and lea�t toxic.
�. Eliminatic�n rf a!1 pesticide use an playgrounds.
6. Compiiance with thePhase il, MS4, NPDES Stc�rm Water perrriit requirements as
outlined in F.5.f.9 (p�ge 91 of permit)
The Directar of Public Works has directec{ sfiaff to impiement these goals and
incc�rporate them into agreernen�s with outside confractors.

Int�gra�ed Pest iVianag�rn�nt �a�r�iir��tor
The Superintendent of Public Works is designated the iPM Coardinator. The fPM
Coordinafar is primarily responsible for impiernenfing the fPM Policy and cnardinating
efforts to implement IPM techniques within the Public tlVorks Department. The
Caardinator is respansibl� for communicating goals ar�d palicy d�cisions tc� appropriate
Town staff and contraetors, as weil as ensuring proper training of all employees
invoived with the IPM program and �!I contractors wha perfc�rm I�ndscape maintenance

C�n{y individuais d�signated by the IPM Coordinator as Pestieicle Applicators shali be
permitted to a�ply pesticides on Tc�wn parks, landscaped areas, and ottier essenfial
public lands. Applicators shall possess a Qualified Appiicator Certificate ar �4ualified
Applicator License, issued by the California Department of Pesticide Regul�tion.
Presently, fwo Public UVorks staff are "Qualified Applicators" c�rtifi�d to apply
pesticides.
T�he IPM Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that �esticide use is recorded and
making those records available for public review pursuant to this p�licy.
Additionally, the Town of Tiburon shall suppart MCSTOPPP ta conduct public aurkreach
through the Our Water Qur Warid program, monitor v�ater and sediment for pesticides
in urban creeks and keep th� County Agricultural Corx�r�issioner informed of water
quality issues.

E�iucation a►ic� Tr�ining of s��ff
Education �nd training of personnel is crifiica! to the succ�ss of this 1PM progra��►.
Employees invoived in the r��aintenance of the Town parks and iandscaped ares, or
with �urchasing, storage, handling and application af pesticides shall receive all
mandated and reasonable training required to perForm such work in an efficient anci
safe manner consistent with the provislons and intent caf this poficy.
Continuing Education in IPM and training in the u�e of non-chemical methods of pest
cantrol are impor#ant to a successful program. Lanciscape Divi�ion staff attend
continuing pesticide educatian through the Professional Applicators Pesticide
Association, (F'APA) on a yearly basis ta maintain application certification. Rddi�ionaily:
the IF'M Coc�rdinator maintains �II fir�ining records of qualified applicatars.
The IPM Caordinator shall verify and document all contractc�rs hired to per�orm EPM
related work on the Town's behalf have received appropriate education and training.
This documen��tion will be verified thraugh state licenses and ceifiific�tions.
T�he Public Works Department is dedicated to ensuring �dequate funding and budget
planning to maintain training and educatianal opportunities for alf em�aloyees.
Cls� of�lf�rnatives to Flerk�icide�
The Town is fully committed to the us� of pesticide alternatives whenever practicable.
Currently, the Parks Qivision utilizes the application of mulch materials to discourage
weed growfh and encourage plant health. The Tawn works with arborists and specifies
the provisian of mulch materiai generated in the course of the tree maintenance work to
be utilized by the Parks Division as a first i'sne af defense against the proliferation of
weeds. Rdditionally the Town also uses fhe tried and true rrtethods af hand pul{ing,
hoeing and weedwhipping.
Cri�eria for �election and Use of Hert�icides
Herbicide applications shall not be permitted on furf areas except in fhe maintenance of
tr�e wells (a weed free zane around each tree), and certain landscap� facilities
(irrigation eonfrollers, valve boxes, light fixture poles etc.).
It is understood that a completely weed free landscape environment is not a gQal of IPi�,�
ta which the Town �spires. The Pub(ic Works Department shaf( maintain landscaped
areas as reasonably weed free to preserve the function and reasonabfe aesthetic
appearance af Town facilities. 1Nith this c�oai in mind and considering the Parks
Division staffing levels and ability to pravide fund�mental services, the Public Works
Department shalf select herbicides of the least toxic formu{a�ian.
Herbicides shall be used anly after all �ther non-p�sticide means of weed control haue
been utilized or have been determined to be not feasible in � particufar �pplicatian du�
to si�e factors, ability ofi staff to provide a particular function or service, or nther pertinent
factors. Rpplication ofi herbicides shall comply with the provisions of this palicy.

As with the criteria for selection and use of all pesticides, the selection and use criteria
for herbicides �hall conform to standard I�'M principles. No praducfi firom the Approved
Us� list shall contain any ofi�he foilo�ving:
p Pesficides classified as Toxicity Category I and Category II by the USEPA
� Carbanate �CarlDiox G�s} and organophosphate (Salts) pesticides
� Type A or B (known or probab{e) carcinagens, as well as mutagens and
reproducfive toxins
- Persistent bioaccurnulative foxic chemicais {PBT)
Apprav�d Use Prod�cf,�
The only pesticide currenfily used by the Town of Tiburon is Round Up Pro. Other
Toxicity Category II{ (Cautian) herbicides may be used, if �pproved by the Director of
Public Works at the request of the IPM Coordin�tor, providing that the requested
herbicide complies with this p4licy. In addition, the Tovvn does use yeilc�w jacket traps
for their control.
As permitted by the Regionai Water Quality Control Board, the Town also appiys an
aquacide for control of cattails in the Town maintained Railroad Marsl�. This applicatian
will only take piace during the monfihs of October and September as fo not disturb
nesting migratory birci populati�ns.
The Town cantracts v,rith a pest con#roi firrn to cnntroi rats in the ferry termin�al and
wharf area. The pesticide used is Diasonone, common name Eaton's bait blaek and
the active ingredient "diphacinone" (antieoagulant) is .005% in concentration. Thi�
project is classified as a Category IEI "caution" p�sticicje.
Notification of Pesficide �,pplications
The Department of Public Warks will nc�t post pestic'tde notices in areas wh�re use by
the public is law or non-existant. In ar�:as of high visik�iltiy anc� hPavy use by the public,
the Dep�rtment of Public Worl:s will advise the public of pesticide applicatian by posting
notification 48 hours in advance. The locations requiring notification shall be
maintained on a list (as Attachment A to this policy) �nd updated as necessary.

Prepared By: Tiburon Public Works Department
Approve�f Sy: Tawn Council c�n July 16, 2014
Intr�iduc�iora
The �own of Tiburc�n Public Works Department is cnmmitted to a comprehensive
In�egrated Pest Management (!PM) program guiding fhe management of ifis p�rks,
landscaped areas and other public lands.
The purpose nf this IPM program is to ensure and enhance the heaith, safety and
weifare of cifiz�ns, visitors and Town staff by clearly defining the Town's pesfi
management sfrat�gy, the pric�rifiies for administering this strategy and the various
means by which these prinri�ies may be realized. Public access t� r�cc�rds and
information re(ating fo the Town's pesticide use is an essentia( compor�ent af a
successful IPM prc�gram and the Tawn is fui(y cornmitted tc� providing aiI pertinent
inforrr�ation ta �he public in a timely, comprehensive and understandable manner.
Rdditionally, i� is the purpos� and intent c�f this (PM policy to reduce reliance an and
minimize use of pesticides; as defined in Section 12753 af Chapter 2 of Division 7 af
the California Food and Ac�ricuitural Code which fhreaten water quality during Town
�aperations and an Towr� prc�perty.
The Public Works Deparkment realizes some pesticides are potentially hazardous to
human heaith �nd the environment, an� shail �drninister this (PM progr�m with a focus
nn I�i�n t�rm SiJpr��rassir�n �� r�P�t nrnhlQm� with miniCrriim im��ct nn hiJman I�2alth, nr�n-
target oraanisms and the environment. Least toxic pesticides are used anfy affier
monitoring indicates such a need, pursuant to the provisions ofi this poficy.
�u'hat i� f�i�i
IPM is a decision making process fior managing pests to determine if pest injury levels
warr�nt treatment. If so tre�tment cnmbin�s biolc�c�ical, c�ltural, mech�nic�l, physic°�I
andlor chemic�l taals and other management practices �a control pests in a safe, cost
effecCive and er�viror�menta}ly sound manner that contributes to the prot�ction of public
hea(th. This method uses extensive knowledge about pests such as infestations,
threshalds, life histories, environmental requirements and natural enemies ta
S:/PW/MDlIPM/To7 -1-
camplement and facififiate biological and other natural cantrol af pests. IPM involves
the use of nonchemical pest control methods and the careful use of least toxic chemicai
methflds when nonchemical methc�ds have been exhausted or �re not feasible. When
IP�Ii is prc�perly implemented cher�tical cantrols are used oniy as a last resort. They are
used as spofi treatments and are chose►1 and firried to have the smaile�t negative
impact an r�on-t�rget organisms �nd the environment. IPM daes not have percentage
cut backs and benchmarks in it, rather it states t� monifor and use the least toxic
methods to reduce the pest to an economic levei.
Sc�pe c�f IP(� P4fa�y
This policy gaverns not only Department of Public Works empl�yees but also landscape
contractors hired by the �epartment and persans acting under the authority af the
Department in the care and maintenance of Tc�wn parks, medians, landscaped areas,
and ath�r essenti�l public lands. Aithough it is understood that the term "p�sticide" is a
gener�l term that includes herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, radenticides etc., the
primary focus of this po(icy is to �ddress the Town's use of herbicides. The Town does
use insecticides (yellow jacket traps} for pest cor�trol.
As the Tovvn plans for the maintenance and rehabilitation of existing areas, specifiic
attention will be directed taw�rd inc(uding specifications th�t eliminate or reduce the
need for chemical pesticides (e.g., movu strips next ta fencing, covering all new pl�nting
areas with mulch, etc,).
iPA!! �aals
As used in tf�is pc�licy, a "Category I, "Categnry lf,,, Category III" and "Category IV»
pesticide shall ref�r to a pesticid� product that falls within the commensurate toxicify
�ategory specified in Section 156.10 of Title 40 c�f the Code of Federal Regulations.anci
bearing on the front label panel the word Danger, Warning, c�r Caution, as require�
therein.
IPM goals regarding pesticid� seiectic�n �nd use shall include but not limited to:
1. E(imination Qf Categary I and II pesficides.
�. 1Vlinimization r�f Category IIl and IV pesticides.
3. Elimination of pesticides that are classified by government agencies as
carcinr�genic, reproductive toxicants {teratogems, mutagens), endocrine
disruptors, carF�amates, organophosph�tes or ground water contaminants.
4. The Town of Tiburon wiil use p�sticides only when necessary and will select a
pesticide that is both effective �nd leas# toxic.
5. Playgrounds c�n Town of Tiburon property wiil be designated a� pesticide free.
6. Con�ply with Phase 11 permit requirements as outlin�d in F.5.f.9 (page 91 c�f
permit)
The Director af Public Works has direct�d staff to implement these goals and
incorporate them ir�to �greements with outside contractors.
