Box 23660 Oakland, CA 949623-0660 Dear Mr. Sartipi, Thank you for your shared interest to improve safety and traffic flow along Tiburon Boulevard (State Route 131) in Strawberry and Tiburon. One idea with significant travel benefits along Tiburon Boulevard (SR 131) is to eliminate eastbound U-turns every day, all day at the North Knoll/Tiburon Boulevard intersection. This intersection currently has collision rates that are substantially above the statewide average. Caltrans has installed traffic operational measures to discourage left turns from North Knoll onto Tiburon Blvd. (SR 31) which accounted for a high percentage of the collisions. A large number of U- turns from eastbound SR 131 also occur at the intersection and elimination would help improve traffic safety at the intersection. During our extended rush hour, the U-turns primarily occur when the outside lane is stopped on both sides of the intersection and the "Keep Clear" space is open. Most cars cannot make the turn safely. They block drivers from North Knoll who could otherwise turn right. The rear of these cars often stick out into the inside lane. A good percentage of the time drivers put their cars into reverse and back into the inside lane and then pull forward into the inside lane. I've seen this twice this week during my commute home. The Tiburon Boulevard (SR 131) Traffic Congestion Committee also discussed the feasibility of U-turn prohibition at the North KnoIl/Tiburon Boulevard intersection, and several representatives expressed support for the proposal. We understand that Marin County staff recently noticed the adjacent property owners in the vicinity of the intersection, fulfilling one requirement for the elimination of this U- turn. This letter confirms the Town of Tiburon's support for the proposed U-turn restriction at the North Knoll/Tiburon Boulevard (SR 131) intersection. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (415)435- 7388. J.nceiel 111111111j0 P. rick :at=:PE Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Town of Tiburon Frank X.

The event takes place in San Jose on March 4, 2016, and is being organized by a partnership among the Local Government Commission, the Center for Climate Protection, and the Local Government Sustainable Energy Coalition. The Symposium is designed to expose elected leaders to the ideas needed for a successful Community Choice Energy program, whether they are just starting their exploration or if they are in the process of planning and designing a program. Representative of California's three existing Community Choice Energy programs will present lessons learned. Energy industry leaders will address how robust public-private partnerships support public program goals including increasing the renewable portion of the energy portfolio while keeping costs down. The Symposium will offer not only breakout panels for those new to CCA, but also will offer advanced topics on program design, regulatory policy strategy, and more! Learn about helping your community decrease its carbon emissions while improving the local economy. Give your residents and businesses new choices in how they purchase energy. Get your questions answered during the Symposium's many interactive panels and discussion groups. Confirmed speakers to date include Carla Peterman, California Public Utilities Commissioner; Angelina Galiteva, CAISO Board Member; and Lyndon Rive, CEO of SolarCity. Commissioner Peterman and Ms. Galiteva will present on the current state of energy regulatory policy and markets, and their potential impact on local programs. Lyndon Rive will describe how Community Choice Energy programs complement local economic development efforts. If you are thinking about a Community Choice Energy program, come hear from experienced speakers about how to design for successful implementation. If you are not, maybe it is time to hear what this approach could offer your community. More information on this dynamic event is available at http://climateprotection.org/symposium-2016/. The energy revolution is creating huge opportunities for communities able to capture them. Please join us, learn more, and help create the clean energy economy.

Confirmed Keynote Speakers Carla Peterman Commissioner California Public Utilities Commission Angelina Galiteva Board Member California Independent System Operator Lyndon Rive CEO SolarCity Economic Opportunity: Local energy development creates huge economic potential. Done correctly, it provides business opportunities, creates jobs, and circulates dollars in the local economy now leaving the community. In its first year of operation Sonoma Clean Power, the Community Choice program in Sonoma County, saved its customers $13.6 million while providing energy that is 48% greener than the incumbent utility.

Who Should Attend: Community Choice Energy (CCE) energy operators and advocates, elected officials considering a program, electric service providers, cleantech entrepreneurs, utility experts, businesses with an interest in distributed energy resources, and anyone interested in the energy system of the future. Those involved with private utilities and Community Choice will cross-pollinate with energy entrepreneurs working on storage, energy efficiency, automated demand response, micro -grids, and cutting-edge renewable energy technologies. Participants will explore the creation of a cost-effective path toward a renewable energy future. Symposium Topics: • Critical elements of successful Community Choice programs • Community Choice 101: Procurement, risk assessment, financing, operations • Designing programs that drive economic development • Opportunities and challenges of developing distributed energy resources • Policy and regulatory trends that will impact local energy efforts • Top local energy and efficiency programs • Forecasts about the utilities and grids of the future • Leveraging storage, microgrids, and electric vehicles to enhance local energy projects • Community Choice as a system integrator and platform for innovation ower.
