Based on a series of assumptions, the report suggests the Town should replace its culvert under the Old Rail Trail near San Rafael Road, (the "Rock Hill G" drainage area) as one of several modifications to increase overall channel capacity. The Town finds certain information in the report informative, but also feels it errs in some regards and does not delve deeply enough into the situation to provide the Town with the understanding it needs to commit to any remedial course of action. We attempted to work with Stetson Engineers, Inc. to request additional information, but we understand that the company is unable to undertake this work for the Town. Therefore, in the spirit of obtaining more information for all concerned, the Town will commission its own follow-up analysis. We expect this work to be accomplished over the next few months; we are currently seeking a qualified firm for the job. We realize this may be an especially wet winter, but I believe we all recognize that any of the "fixes" suggested in the Stetson Report are significant and could not be undertaken in time for this upcoming season regardless, the exception being some clearing of the Dawson property open channel. That piece of this puzzle is within the City's, not the Town's, purview to manage, so our process should not impact the timeline for any improvement on that site. Once we receive more information, we will share it and continue the discussion with Belvedere about appropriate next steps. Best regards, ?".14/1.

As the result we are proposing the hybrid pedestrian beacons as a proactive safety measure.

The car, a 1979 Chevrolet station wagon, flipped over. however, and landed in the ditch. trapping the woman underwater for 30 minutes. Although the vehicle was almost totally submerged, she was con- scious and able to breathe from a small pocket of air. Tiburon Police Corporal Bob Rossi and officer Mike Slobodnik, alone with several people who had seen the accident and stopped to help, tried to pry a door open so that McConnell could escape, but they were unsuccessful. Tiburon re/Rescue arrived on the scene within mFire/Rescue minutes and began work to release the trapped 'driver.. They used a portable air bag to raise the ve- hicle -high enough to force the door open and help .McConnell out. McConnell. was taken to Marin General Hospital, where she was admitted for treatment of hypother- rnia.- - To :aid the rescue, traffic was rerouted through • ---Belvedere for a period of time, with the assistance of the California Highway Patrol.

Violence Against Women — A Harsh Reality Violence and abuse affect girl and women from all kinds of backgrounds every day. Sometimes, women are attacked by strangers, but most often they are hurt by people who are close to them. Violence and abuse can cause terrible physical and emotional pain. As per our current situation, the women don't thrive for equal opportunity in all sectors. The predominant essential fact is security and violence free life. The physical and mental health impacts are very common in our society. Like under-nutrition, unwanted pregnancy, miscarriage, gynecological problems, sexually transmitted infections, social isolation, poor self-esteem, low perceived quality of life, depression, and suicidal tendencies. Yet women are not silent victims. Although a large number of women do accept violence as part of their lot in life or put up with it for the sake of their children or because they perceive no alternative, many seek support. All too often, they are rebuffed and silenced by the government, communities, and even their families — as India and the world have seen repeatedly in recent days. For centuries, Indian religious texts, social norms, and customs have perpetuated unequal. relationships between men and women. These attitudes are changing — as illustrated by the surge of discontent and anger in response to violence against women across the country — but change is not happening widely enough.

Page 2 of 2 FCZ4 AB Agenda October 21, 2015 MARIN MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Proposed Rate Increases for Marin Municipal Water District Water Service Rates, Fees, and Charges Notice is hereby given that the Marin Municipal Water District (the "District") will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, December 8, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. in the board room at its Administration Of- fice located at 220 Nellen Ave, Corte Madera, CA 94925, to con- sider the adoption of increases to its water service rates, fees, and charges. The proposed increases to the water service rates, fees, and charges would take effect for water used on or after January 1, 2016 and May 1, 2016, respectively. The proposed water service rates, fees, and charges, to be effective January 1, 2016, reflect rate structure modifications, which include increasing the fixed Service Charge, adding a new fixed Watershed Management Fee, adjustments to the tier rates of the Commodity Charge for all customer classes, changes in the tier allotments for multi -family and duplex customer classes, surcharges due to drought and other water use reduction events, and water pass-through adjust- ments for Sonoma County Water Agency water purchases. Effective May 1, 2016 an increase of 4% is proposed for all water service rates, fees, and charges. The proposed rates, fees, and charges for the District's water service are set forth on the following pages. Reasons for the Proposed Increases in Water Service Rates, Fees, and Charges The District is committed to efficiently providing high quality, reliable water service at a reasonable price for our customers while protecting the water resources and public health of our community. As the oldest water district in California, it is critically important that the District continually re -invest in the assets it holds and keep pace with inflation and other cost increases. Each year the District evaluates its infrastruc- ture needs, programs, and operations and maintenance costs for the ensuing fiscal year. This year the District hired an independent rate consultant to determine how best to recover these projected costs over a five-year period. Based on this evaluation, the Draft Cost of Service Analysis, the District has determined that rate increases are necessary to: recover current and projected costs of operations and maintenance, including increases in purchased wholesale water and capital infra- structure improvements needed to provide safe and reliable drinking water; maintain the operational and financial stability of the District; and avoid operational deficits and depletion of financial reserves. MMWD Water Supply Sources In normal rainfall years, 75% of the District's annual water supply comes from more than 21,000 acres of protected watershed on Mt. Tamalpais and in the hills of west Marin. Rainfall from these water- sheds flows into one of seven reservoirs and is then treated at one of the District's potable water treatment plants before being delivered to residential and commercial customers. The District has developed these local surface water supplies, and implemented both a conser- vation program and a recycled water program, to maximize the use of local resources and increase water supply reliability. The remaining 25% of the District's annual water supply is im- ported from the Sonoma County Water Agency ("SCWA"). SCWA water originates from Lake Sonoma and Lake Mendocino and is released into the Russian River. The Russian River water is filtered naturally through 80 feet of sand beds adjacent to the river. The Russian River water is then blended with the District's reservoir water in the distribution system. The SCWA water costs the Dis- DIGEST trict significantly more than the water the District receives from the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed. Impacts of the Statewide Drought On January 17, 2014, Governor Jerry Brown issued a drought state of emergency declaration in response to record -low water levels in California's rivers and reservoirs as well as an abnormally low snow - pack. On April 1, 2015, Governor Brown issued an Executive Order calling for statewide mandatory water reductions of up to 25%. On May 5, 2015, the State Water Resources Control Board approved regulations, based on Governor Brown's Executive Order, mandat- ing a 20% reduction in district water consumption for June 2015 through February 2016 as compared to the same months in 2013. This mandate has had a significant impact on the District's revenues, further necessitating increases in the rates for the District's water service rates, fees, and charges for fiscal years 2015/16 and 2016/17. Operating Costs and Capital Improvement Program For sound financial operations of the District's water system, the revenues it generates must be sufficient to meet the expenditures or cash obligations of the utility. The revenue needs are defined as the amount of revenues that must be recovered through its water service rates, fees, and charges to cover annual expenditures less any off- setting revenues. Over the next five years, the District's operating expenses are projected to annually increase by an average of approx- imately 5% due in part to significant and necessary improvements to the District's aging infrastructure. As noted, projected annual operat- ing expenditure levels are significantly influenced by the amount of the higher cost water MMWD purchases from SCWA. Additionally, approximately 80% of the District's costs to operate and maintain the system are fixed, meaning the costs remain the same re- gardless of the amount of water used. Over the last several years, the District has experienced declines in water demand resulting from the recession of 2007-2009 and the 2014-2015 voluntary and state -man- dated water use reductions. To offset the revenue shortfall and pay for operating costs, the District has used $1.4 million of reserves in fiscal year 2014/15 and anticipates using $1.2 million of its reserves in fiscal year 2015/16. While experiencing these declines in water demand and revenues, the District has exercised fiscal discipline by managing operating costs to avoid significant increases in water ser- vice rates, fees, and charges to its customers, including reducing its staff by 9% to offset rising costs. The District's current water service rates, fees, and charges have been in effect since May 1, 2012. The proposed increases in the water service rates, fees, and charges will allow the District to recover its costs and continue to provide safe, reliable drinking water to its customers. Absent critical rate increas- es, the District will run budget deficits for each year of the five-year forecast contained in the Draft Cost of Service Analysis. Basis Upon Which the Water Service Rates, Fees, and Charges are Calculated The District's water service rates, fees, and charges are structured to proportionally allocate the cost of providing water service to its customers and are billed on a bi-monthly basis. The rate structure has seven customer classes: (1) Single -Family; (2) Multi -Family; (3) Duplex; (4) Commercial; (5) Irrigation; (6) Recycled Water and 1 t.-ra ,age; (7) Raw Water i.e customers who receive untreated water. The rate structure for the District's water service has three components: (1) a fixed Service Charge; (2) a variable volumetric Commodity Charge (i.e., the tier rates) and (3) a new fixed Watershed Management Fee. The fixed Service Charge is established on the basis of the size of the water meter (in inches) serving a property and is calculated to recover a significant portion of the District's fixed costs, such as billing and collections, customer service, meter reading, meter maintenance, and meter -related capital and infrastructure. Depending on the customer class, the variable volumetric Commod- ity Charge consists of three or four tiers which impose higher rates per unit of water usage as the level of water consumption increases, with one unit equal to one hundred cubic feet ("CCF") or 748 gal- lons, and is calculated to recover a portion of the District's fixed costs and its variable costs of providing water service. For Single -Family, Multi -Family, and Duplex customers, the amount of water allotted to each tier changes depending on when the water is used -sum- mer (June through November) or winter (December through May). While residential accounts are provided tier allotments, Commercial, Irrigation, Recycled Water, and Raw Water customers are provided an allotment based on their defined water needs. This difference in structure is generally implemented as non-residential demands vary significantly from customer to customer, whereas residential de- mands are relatively homogeneous. Customers who use more water place greater demands and burdens on the District's water system and scarce resources. The tiered rate structure is designed to recover the incremental costs incurred by the District as a result of this higher usage and its impacts. A new Watershed Management Fee is being established. In addition to its public water supply costs, the District also has obligations to pre- serve the ecological health of its watershed and downstream ecosys- Fixed Charges and Fees i=Month) ♦r. u[s iK k.tt ice li rge�¢e); b� METER SIZE 518" 3/4" 1" 1.5" 2" 3" 4" 6" 8" 10" CURRENT $21.53 23.81 32.88 55.66 82.85 155.51 214.69 463.76 917.90 1,372.04 PROPOSED - PROPOSED JAN. 1, 2016 $32.55 41.25 58.60 101.95 154.00 318.85 561.75 1,229.70 2,097.20 3,311.70 MAY 1,2016 $33:85 42.90 60.95 106.05 160.20 331.70 564.40 1,279.30 2,181.80 3;445.30 YrBt :.�Mo.� ntl* Service Ltn.-e.alejiaifrgk(S/M.11-14.�� METER SIZE 2" 4" 6" 8" 10" CURRENT $27.52 44.65 70.69 94.24 116.57 PROPOSED JAN. 1,2016 $26.50 59.75 114.25 184.95 284.00 PROPOSED MAY 1,2016 $27.60 62.15 118.80 192.35 295.35 terns. The Watershed Management Fee is a fixed charge based on the size of a water meter (in inches) serving a property and is designed to recover a portion of the watershed maintenance and vegetation man- agement costs. In addition to the water service rates, fees, and charges described here, the District also imposes a fixed bi-monthly Fire Service Line Charge on certain properties as a condition of extending or initiating water service (1) by the installation of a private fire suppression sys- tem, and (2) upon the request of the customer or property owner for the delivery of water to the property for the purpose of fire service protection. The rates for the hi -monthly Fire Service Line Charge are established on the basis of the size of the fire service lateral (in inches) through which water is delivered and are calculated to re- cover the cost of providing water to such properties for private fire service protection. Proposed Water Service Rates, Fees, and Charges The proposed water service rates, fees, and charges to be effective January 1, 2016 reflect rate structure modifications, which include increasing the fixed Service Charge, adding a new fixed Watershed Management Fee, adjustments to the tier rates of the Commodity Charge for all customer classes, changes in the tier allotments for multi -family and duplex customer classes, Drought and Revenue Recovery Surcharges due to drought and other water use reduction events, and water pass-through adjustments for SCWA water pur- chases.

The Drought Surcharges would be implemented only when it is nec- essary to safeguard against significant financial losses resulting from greater than projected reductions in water usage by Dis- trict customers as a result of the current or future water shortage conditions. If implemented, the Drought Surcharges would be in addition to the water service rates, fees, and charges described in the tables on pages 2 and 3 and are designed to provide sufficient revenues for the District to continue meeting its expenditures and debt obligations. The Drought Surcharges would recover reve- nues on both the bi-monthly fixed Service Charge and the tier rates for the per -CCF Commodity Charge and be activated by a declared stage of the District's Water Use Reduction Program/ Water Shortage Emergency and the resulting coincident drop in water demand. Most of the District's costs are fixed, in that they do not fluctuate with changes in demand. The one significant exception to this is the cost of purchased water from SCWA. If the District is required to purchase greater than anticipated amounts of higher cost SCWA water during a drought, then an additional SCWA Surcharge per CCF would be applied based on a customer's water usage. If implemented, the SCWA Surcharges would be an additional sur- charge based on the water use reduction levels enacted by the Dis- trict's Water Use Reduction Program/Water Shortage Emergency. The District may adjust the SCWA Surcharges based on the SCWA water purchase costs at the time the surcharge is enacted. The declared stage of the District's Water Use Reduction Program/ Water Shortage Emergency is triggered by total reservoir storage on the measurement dates of April 1 and December 1 and is activated by Board resolution, resulting in 10% voluntary, 25% mandatory, or 50% mandatory water use reductions. If the Board approves such a resolution, the proposed Drought Surcharges (fixed and variable) may be implemented in accordance with the adopted voluntary or mandatory water use reductions levels per the table below on or after January 1, 2016 and on or after May 1, 2016, respectively. �roughturcharge5l MonthlyFixed 5 viceharge,ae`($IMetr%) REDUCTION LEVEL METER SIZE 5/8" 3/4" 1" 1.5" 2" 3" 4" 6" 8" 10" PROPOSED JANUARY 1, 2016 10% 25% $7.20 10.80 18.00 36.00 57.60 126.00 226.80 504.00 864.00 1,368.00 $9.05 13.58 22.63 45.25 72.40 158.38 285.08 633.50 1,086.00 1,719.50 PROPOSED MAY 1, 2016 50% 10% 25% $17.71 26.57 44.28 88.55 141.68 309.93 557.87 1,239.70 2,125.20 3,364.90 $7.49 11.24 18.73 37.45 59.92 131.08 235.94 524.30 898.80 1,423.10 $9.42 14.13 23.55 47.10 75.36 164.85 296.73 659.40 1,130.40 1,789.80 50% $18.42 27.63 46.05 92.10 147.36 322.35 580.23 1,289.40 2,210.40 3,499.80 s _z `t - ommodify CiiarggeatesCl REDUCTION LEVEL Drought Surcharge - Commodity Charge per CCF SCWA Surcharge - Commodity Charge per CCF PROPOSED JANUARY 1, 2016 10% 25% 50% $0.62 $1.73 0.11 0.15 PROPOSED MAY 1, 2016 10% 25% 50% $0.65 $1.80 0.12 0.16 Other Surcharges Due to Other Water Use Reductions Revenue Recovery Surcharges and the SCWA Surcharges may also be implemented if a state order, natural disaster, or other event occurs that requires District customers to reduce their water use and/ or requires the District to purchase greater than projected amounts of SCWA water, and/or an economic downturn occurs that results in reductions in water use greater than those projected in the Dis- trict's Draft Cost of Service Analysis (collectively "Unanticipated Events"). The percentage amount of reduction in water use from the Unanticipated Events is unpredictable, but could significantly im- pact the ability of the District to recover sufficient revenues to fund its water services. If implemented, the maximum Revenue Recovery Surcharges that may be imposed would be equal to the Drought Sur- charges set forth in the tables on page 4 and the maximum SCWA Surcharges that may be imposed would be the same as the SCWA Surcharges in the tables on page 4; provided, however, the actual Revenue Recovery Surcharges and SCWA Surcharges for any water use reduction under the Unanticipated Events would be calculated at that time based on revenues needed to cover the District's costs. For example, if a state order requires a 22% reduction in water use, the Revenue Recovery Surcharges and SCWA Surcharges that could be implemented would be no greater than the amounts listed under the 25% water use reduction level in the tables on page 4. At that time, the District would calculate the exact amount of the Revenue Re- covery Surcharges and SCWA Surcharges to be implemented based upon the revenue needed to cover its costs. Water Pass -Through Adjustments The District anticipates that SCWA will increase its wholesale wa- ter rates in the future. In developing the proposed rates, fees, and charges, the District included projected increases in SCWA costs of 5% per year as part of its five-year financial projection and in calculating the proposed increases in water service rates, fees, and charges. To ensure that there are sufficient revenues to provide wa- ter services, the District is proposing to annually pass through to its customers any increases in SCWA's wholesale water rates that are greater than those anticipated in the Draft Cost of Service Analysis. Except for Raw Water and Recycled Water customers, any SCWA pass-through adjustment will impact the tier rates of the Commod- ity Charge for all customer classes set forth in the tables on page 3. If approved, the District's Board of Directors may implement any SCWA pass-through adjustment at any time for the five-year period commencing January 1, 2016 and ending on December 31, 2020. Provided, however, that (1) any increase in the tier rates of the Commodity Charge described above as a result of any SCWA pass-through adjustment shall not exceed 15% per year; (2) in no event shall such rates be increased by more than the cost of provid- ing water service; and (3) the District shall provide all customers at least 30 days' written notice prior to implementing any SCWA pass-through adjustment. Public Hearing and How to Participate Any record owner of a parcel upon which the water service rates, fees, and charges are proposed for imposition, or any utility cus- tomer directly responsible for the payment of water service rates, fees, and charges (i.e., a customer of record who is not a property owner) may submit a written protest to the proposed water service rates, fees, and charges, Drought Surcharges, SCWA Surcharges, Revenue Recovery Surcharges (the Drought Surcharges, SCWA Surcharges and Revenue Recovery Surcharges are hereafter col- lectively referred to as the "Surcharges"), and SCWA pass-through adjustments; however, only one written protest will be counted per identified parcel. Any protest must: (1) be in writing; (2) state that the identified property owner or utility customer is opposed to the proposed water service rates, fees, and charges, Surcharges, or SCWA pass-through adjustments, respectively; (3) provide the location of the identified parcel (by street address, assessor's parcel number, or MMWD customer account number); and (4) include the name and signature of the property owner or utility customer submitting the written protest. Written protests may be submitted by U.S. Mail or in person to Marin Municipal Water District at 220 Nellen Ave., Corte Madera, CA 94925, or at the public hearing to be held on December 8, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. To be counted, all written protests must be received prior to the conclusion of the public comment portion of the pub- lic hearing. Please identify on the front of the envelope, whether mailed or submitted in person, Attn: Board Secretary. Any protest submitted via e-mail or other electronic means will not be accepted as a qualified formal written protest. The District's Board of Directors will hear public comments and consider the written protests regarding the proposed water service rates, fees, and charges, the Surcharges, and SCWA pass-through adjustments at the public hearing. Oral comments at the public hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a proper, written protest. Upon the conclusion of the public hear- ing, the Board of Directors will consider adoption of the proposed water service rates, fees, and charges, the Surcharges, and SCWA pass-through adjustments as described in this notice. If a major- ity of the affected property owners and utility customers timely file written protests, the proposed rates, fees, and charges, the Sur- charges, or SCWA pass-through adjustments may not be imposed. Effective Date of Proposed Increases to Water Service Rates, Fees, and Charges The proposed water service rates, fees, and charges to be effective January 1, 2016 reflect rate structure modifications which include increasing the fixed Service Charge, adding a new fixed Watershed Management Fee, adjustments to the tier rates of the Commodity Charge for all customer classes, changes in the tier allotments for multi -family and duplex customer classes, Surcharges and SCWA pass-through adjustments for SCWA water purchases. Effective May 1, 2016 an increase of 4% is proposed for all water service rates, fees and charges. The increase in the proposed water service rates, fees, and charges are related to the District's costs and are the maximum that may be implemented without the District providing additional notification to property owners and customers. If you have any questions regarding this notice, your customer classification, or the impact the proposed increases may have on your water service rates, fees, and charges, please contact the Dis- trict at 415-945-I400 or visit our website at marinwater.org. Public Workshops To provide additional information about the proposed increases for water service rates, fees, and charges, the District is holding two public workshops. Interested parties are invited to attend. Dates Tuesday, November 10, 2015 Thursday, December 3, 2015 Both workshops will be held in the MMWD Board Room, 220 Nellen Avenue, Corte Madera, CA, 7:30 p.m. 5
