Doyle Mayor Erin Tollini Vice Mayor Jim Fraser Councilmember Alice Fredericks Councilmember Emmett O'Donnell Thank you for your letter dated July 24, 2015 concerning your request for a grant to Councilmember fund a recycling/green initiative program at Saint Hilary School. After hearing your presentation and receiving your correspondence, we investigated whether the Town could consider such a request in light of the private nature of your organization. Upon consultation with the Town Attorney, we have concluded that two State provisions prohibit the Town from offering this grant to St. Hilary; therefore we must respectfully decline your request. We appreciate your efforts to promote awareness and encourage involvement in the recycling program in our local community and by extension the larger community of Marin County. Your goal has special merit as it pertains to the education of our children. We regret that we cannot be of assistance in this instance. You may wish to contact the Marin Hazardous and Solid Waste Management Board, which funds "Zero Waste Marin" (www.zerowastemarin.org) to see if they have any appropriate granting opportunities to help the Saint Hilary School achieve its goals in this regard. Thank you for getting in touch. We wish you the best. S incerely, F Peggy Curran Town Manager cc: Tiburon Mayor and Town Council Town Attorney Benjamin L. Stock Margaret A. Curran Town Manager July 24, 2015 Town Council City of Tiburon 1505 Tiburon Boulevard Tiburon, CA 94920 SAINT HILARY SCHOOL ESTABLISHED 1863 Dear Mayor Frank Doyle, Vice Mayor Erin Tollini, Council Members: Jim Fraser, Alice Fredricks, and Emmett O'Donnell, Thank you for hearing our presentation on July 1, 2015 regarding our school's need for a recycling program. We came to the meeting to ask for your help in starting a recycling/green initiative program at Saint Hilary School. Unfortunately, our school does not have one in place and all of our students have been eager to get one started. In order to successfully launch an effective recycling program, we'd like to ask you for a portion of your grant from Zero Waste Marin to help us acquire bins for our classrooms and lunch areas. The bins we are hoping to secure are the RubberMaid desk -side bins (in green and blue) and the Triple Recycling Station from Recycle Away. We are hoping to purchase some of these bins prior to school year beginning on August 20, 2015. We are requesting $3,500 in grant money to complete the project. The children will be ecstatic to finally be able to recycle at the school and we are confident the Tiburon community will be thrilled that Saint Hilary will be a part of the Zero Waste Goal by 2025. We have already been working with the Conservation Corp. of Marin, Mill Valley Refuse Department and Casey Poldino, a Zero Waste Specialist from the County Dept. of Public Works. Ms. Poldino has assessed and monitored our school waste and is on board with providing us the education, resources and support to implement a student -led Green Team at our school. On behalf of the entire Saint Hilary School community, thank you very much for your time and for taking our request for a portion of your grant into consideration. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

AB 88 (Gomez): Sales Tax Exemption: Utility Appliance Purchases This bill seeks to expand the scope of utility programs that provide free appliances to low income individuals, by exempting the utility from sales tax (both state and local shares) associated with the equipment purchases.

No Position: SB 107 (Budget): RDA Dissolution This legislation would make numerous changes to redevelopment dissolution laws; this 104 page bill came into print and was approved on Sept. 11th, the last day of the session. Since the bill is sponsored by the Administration, there is little doubt the Governor will not sign it. The League raised concerns with provisions related to the repayment of city loans. While the loan -related language has improved from previous versions contained in AB 113, and a letter to the Journal was submitted to clarify aspects, the impacts on cities affected by this issue will depend on future Department of Finance interpretation and implementation. There are also other provisions in the measure of direct benefit to cities and other agencies.

The BAPDA Steering Committee provides professional development opportunities for Planning Directors throughout the Bay Region and participates in implementing sound regional planning principles at the local level. We urge you to carefully evaluate the implications and consequences of this proposal, and provide an opportunity for the ABAG General Assembly to comment and participate in this important decision. ABAG's governance as a Council of Governments facilitates the participation and involvement of all 109 jurisdictions within the Bay Region. With a General Assembly that includes a representative from every jurisdiction, ABAG is accountable to each of our communities. ABAG's Planning and Research staff demonstrates this accountability by meeting with local planning officials to listen and understand the local context before creating land use recommendations that integrate local objectives into a regional vision. This direct approach supports local control, which is a critical issue for the update of Plan Bay Area. MTC has unique strengths related primarily to transportation planning. A consolidated planning function within MTC is likely to distance local jurisdictions due to its historic reliance on Congestion Management Agencies, as an intermediary for input regarding cities and counties. This distance will challenge the ABAG General Assembly and Executive Board to support the land use recommendations coming from MTC. In addition, the distance will also impede localities from participating in essential regional planning and implementation of housing, economic development, disaster preparedness, and other topics. On a related note, we are concerned that a rushed merger would not create a government structure that is conducive to a healthy dialog between land use and transportation. Specifically, we are concerned that the land use component of Plan Bay Area will not be based on local information and instead be driven by desired top -clown transportation investments. While it may not occur in this Sustainable Communities Strategy cycle, the likelihood is high over time. This will render the land use component of Plan Bay Area meaningless and move it further from the objectives of state law, exacerbating the land use - transportation disconnect in the Bay Region. Finally, we are also concerned about the loss of valuable technical services beyond the land use component to Plan Bay Area. Specifically, local governments rely on the ABAG Planning and Research Department's forecasting for local general plan and housing element updates, and research regarding hazard mitigation planning and best practices. The Department's current economic research is foundational to the potential creation of Priority Industrial Areas to complement the successful Priority Development/Priority Conservation Areas framework for wise land use planning in the Bay Region. The ABAG Planning and Research Department also implements programs to enhance the quality of life through its Bay Trail and Farmland Preservation programs. It is unclear how a planning function within a transportation agency will continue to provide such services. While some are urging quick action, we would caution that speedy action without thorough deliberation and involvement of the ABAG General Assembly may result in more costs overruns in the long-term. From a purely logistical standpoint, merging and hiring staff takes time and causes disruption—this alone may delay the update to Plan Bay Area. Further, we can likely all agree that the concept of integrated regional planning is laudable; however, as we are well aware the structuring of agencies can greatly affect its success. Any merger should be well thought out so that not only government efficiency is valued; but also so that public involvement and government effectiveness are achieved. For these reasons, we urge both agencies to proceed thoughtfully and for MTC to continue funding for ABAG beyond the December timeline so that any planned merger may proceed in a purposeful manner and with benefit of input from the public and local jurisdictions. Thank you for your consideration of these comments. We ask that you provide this letter to your Board and Commission members. We welcome the opportunity to engage in further discussion.

Tiburon, CA —Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary staff are reminding the local boating community that the Sanctuary waters are closed to all boat traffic and in -water activities (including kayaks & stand-up paddleboards, or SUPs) from October 1st through March 31st. The annual closure protects tens of thousands of migratory ducks, grebes, and shorebirds that use the bay for re -fueling on their southward travels, or while they over -winter right here on Richardson Bay, an ecological hotspot for birds, herring and eelgrass. "This seasonal closure is unique in San Francisco Bay and is an important factor protecting local waterbirds," said Kerry Wilcox, the Center's Waterbird Program Manager. "Just one boat moving through a flock can cause the needless loss of significant energy reserves as the birds flee. Some of these species are known to be declining, and over - winter health can be a critical factor in determining reproductive success for these birds upon the return to their breeding grounds." The annual closure is mandated by an ordinance of the Marin County's Richardson Bay Regional Agency. Approximately 900 acres of bay waters are covered by the ordinance, extending south from the edge of the Cove housing complex to the tip of Strawberry Point, east to Belvedere and north to Blackie's Pasture. Audubon manages this area as a wildlife sanctuary, focused on the waterbirds using the bay. The Sanctuary boundaries are designated by buoys and three permanent, marked pilings (black triangles on map above). No boats or watercraft --including non -motorized boats such as kayaks, canoes, paddleboards and sailboats --are allowed within the Sanctuary waters during this critical season for migratory birds. Violators may be fined by the Marin County Sheriff Department. To celebrate the waterbirds of San Francisco Bay, the Center will be holding its 3rd Annual Waterbird Festival on February 6, 2016. There will be field trips, speakers and exhibits, many of which will be free to the public. About the Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary The Richardson Bay Audubon Center and Sanctuary is located in Marin County. Primarily a Sanctuary providing habitat for migratory waterbirds and other wildlife, it also engages the community through conservation, restoration and education.
