Dear Mayor Doyle and Members of the Tiburon Town Council, We are writing in support of the proposal on tonight's agenda to create a Community Homelessness Fund, partly funded by annual contributions from all the cities and towns of Marin County, in order to expand the current Rotating Emergency Shelter Team program, known as "REST." Marin County currently has approximately 933 homeless individuals living within its borders. Many are veterans, families with children, and victims of domestic violence. The REST program, which has been operating in Synagogues and Churches for a number of years to house and feed up to 40 homeless men and 20 women each night during the winter months, is a vital part of the critical safety net for homeless people in Marin County. With additional funding, the program could be expanded to house this homeless population for a longer period of time and to begin to develop more extensive services to assist these individuals in need. Both our faith and basic decency teach that all human beings should be provided with some form of shelter, if they otherwise cannot afford it, because every person possesses an equal and inalienable dignity. Within the Judaeo-Christian tradition, which most of us share, the poor and the marginalized have always been of special concern, and simple love of neighbor demands that shelter be provided for the homeless. Accordingly, we urge the Town Council to approve a three-year funding cycle and appropriate funds to assist in creating the proposed Community Homeless Fund and to support the continued efforts of the REST Program in Marin County. SERVING BELVEDERE, STRAWBERRY AND TIBURON Tiburon Town Council May 20, 2015 Page 2 of 2 Thank you very much for considering this proposal. If we can be of any assistance in this process, please contact us. Res ectfully, "ather William E. Brown Pastor Father Roger G. Gustafson Parochial Vicar w-17 DIGEST C3 KOL SHOFAR May 20, 2105 Dear Tiburon Town Council, We are sorry that we are unable to attend the Tiburon Town Council meeting this evening due to prior commitments. However, we want to add our voices to the call for Tiburon's support of MCCMC subcommittee on homelessness. On behalf of Congregation Kol Shofar, we urge the town of Tiburon to join the nine towns in Marin County who have already done the right thing and stepped up to contribute financially to our community wide effort to provide emergency shelter. The Torah commands us to leave the corner of our field for the poor and the stranger (Leviticus 23:22) and that there shall be no needy among us (Deuteronomy 15:4). Itis our religious and ethical obligation to care for poor and vulnerable in our community. It is our religious and ethical obligation to give from the abundance with which we a blessed. The wisdom of Judaism and of all our great spiritual traditions teaches us that it is a duty incumbent upon those of us who are fortunate to give back and to care for those in need. We urge the town of Tiburon, this beautiful place of such abundance and resources, to heed the call and to join in this Marin wide effort by accepting the MCCMC homelessness proposal. Thank you, Rabbi Chai Levy and Rabbi Susan Leider Congregation Kol Shofar 215 Blackfield Drive / Tiburon / California 94920 • telephone - 415.388.1818 /facsimile - 415.388.5423 • www.kolshofar.org Peggy Curran From: Stuart Peterson <Stuart@artisventures.com> Sent: Friday, May 15, 2015 2:33 PM To: Peggy Curran Subject: Shirt Term Rentals (le, AirBnB) Do you really think we are going to eliminate short term rentals and the emerging shared economy? I guess you'll figure it out at some point, but that ship has left the port. Its like denying the fact its 2015. Therefore, take the time to find common ground and figure out ways to work with the new reality (taxes, etc). Thank you. Regards, Stuart Peterson I do not own AirBnB or any other shared rental platform (wish i did!). 1 Diane Crane lacopi From: Alice Fredericks <alice@alicefredericks.net> Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2015 10:28 PM To: Diane Crane lacopi Subject: RTP Update/Strategic Vision Workshop 1.

It is greatly encouraging to see the cities and towns of Marin County take such a collaborative approach towards addressing the complex and troubling societal issue of homelessness. We applaud this effort and give kudos to San Rafael city councilmember, Kate Colin, and Novato city councilmember, Eric Lucan, for leading this charge. The REST program is an important supplement to the existing shelter services offered in Marin County in the cold winter months. The participation of local congregations for the REST program model is an accepted model across the country when the inclement weather arrives. This model works here in Marin and we applaud the congregants from many faiths who volunteer to provide nourishment and friendship to our unhoused neighbors. However, it is our opinion that resources and political will would best be served in creating more housing opportunities. Homeward Bound's experience from operating 5 shelter programs and 10 supportive housing programs for homeless families and adults in Marin is that more housing will provide real solutions for people who are homeless on our streets. In the interim, and during our coldest months, it is appropriate to have an extension of the sheltering services already provided in the county. As such, we encourage you to support the Community Homeless Fund.

This winter the REST program ensured that 294 men and 102 women were not sleeping in the streets, parks and hillsides of Marin County, but instead were part of a program that helps these individuals stay safe, stay out of our hospitals and jails, and work to improve their lives. This winter, thanks to the REST program, 27 people were assisted to find permanent housing within Marin and out -of -county, too. In the seven years since the inception of this program, we have had extremely positive feedback in all of the neighborhoods in which we run REST. We are delighted that the city councils of Corte Madera and San Anselmo have already approved participation in the Community Homeless Fund. We believe that this fund highlights the fact that homelessness is a community -wide issue. We think that this is an important step in the right direction, and we ask for your "yes" vote tonight. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Christine Paquette Executive Director MARIN COUNTY HAZARDOUS & SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY Call to Order.
