Not surprisingly, the Town of Tiburon shares in this desire and supports the request of the City of Mill Valley. Please add the Town of Tiburon as a very interested party in this matter and consider our request to be included in the process. Thank you. Sincerely, Scott Anderson Director of Community Development Town of Tiburon 1 November 23, 2015 Supervisor Kathrin Sears 3501 Civic Center Drive, Room 329 San Rafael, CA 94903 E Dear Kate, The City of Mill Valley would like to take an active partnership role with the County in the development review process for North Coast Land Holdings, LLC's newly proposed project for the Golden Gate Seminary property. We have vital interests at stake with a potential change in use and intensity for this significant site as do other adjacent local jurisdictions and the County of Marin generally. In addition to monitoring information that is posted by staff on the County' s website information page, the City of Mill Valley would like to engage directly with staff to stay informed and ensure that our participation in the development review process is timely and effective. To that end, we recommend that regular, perhaps quarterly, meetings with staff be initiated with the City of Mill Valley key staff and those of other adjacent, highly impacted agencies and that this process be initiated as soon as possible. Thank you for your consideration and support of our local interests. We look forward to hearing from you and beginning a close working relationship on this important project.

As a member -community of Marin Clean Energy (MCE), California's first CCA program, Tiburon and our citizens will be profoundly impacted by the proposed increase. Tiburon and most of our rate paying citizens have been customers of MCE for a numbers of years, and one might reasonably argue that this particular fee should be sun setting after a certain period and not dramatically increasing. PG&E has had years to account for the departing electrical load with proper integrated resource planning. In the past two years, MCE customers have collectively paid more than $32 million in PCIA fees. MCE customers are projected to pay more than $30 million in PCIA fees in 2016 alone, without including the latest increases submitted by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). In addition, PG&E is currently seeking to retire an account with $1 billion in excess PCIA fees. We urge the Commission to consider whether it is appropriate to use a small portion of this account to offset PCIA fees charged to CCA customers. At a larger level, the fairness and reasonableness of the PCIA fee and how it is applied to CCA customers must be examined. In Decision 12-01-033, the Commission found that PG&E did not properly plan for the loss of CCA electric Toad. This poor planning can inflate the PCIA costs that CCA customers must pay. Moreover, the PCIA methodology most heavily impacts residential customers and PG&E is the only utility in the state to levy PCIA fees on customers on the utility bill discount program, California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE). CARE customers throughout MCE service territory are projected to pay more than $2 million in 2016 with the proposed 95% increase to the PCIA. Our citizens have led the state in achieving Governor Brown's ambitious renewable energy goals. They should not be penalized for being the early adopters of innovative renewable energy programs. We therefore respectfully urge the California Public Frank X. Doyle Mayor Erin Tollini Vice Mayor Jim Fraser Councilmember Alice Fredericks Councilmember Emmett O'Donnell Councilmember Margaret A. Curran Town Manager Letter to California Public Utilities President Picker And Commissioner Florio November 30, 2015 Page 2 of 2 Utilities Commission to reject PG&E's proposed increase and apply a portion of the excess $1 billion account towards PCIA fees for CCA customers.

We understand that the District is presently considering replacement of the Tiburon to San Francisco Ferry commute run of the Blue and Gold Ferry Service by taking over that Ferry Service in early spring. We also understand it is preparing plans for a Board vote, possibly in January, to take over the service in early spring. The Marin Independent Journal Editorial Opinion of November 24, 2015 states: "The District plans to offset any additional costs by dropping its Tiburon -to -San Francisco bus route (Route 8)." (See attached I.J. Editorial.) The Board and District will be taking a significant step backwards by eliminating a direct commuter bus from and to the Tiburon Peninsula by abandoning its public mission to promote and enhance public commuter transportation to and from San Francisco. Termination of Route 8 will require riders on the Tiburon Peninsula to take a local feeder bus to existing Highway 101 buses that are already highly utilized. This will add significant time and inconvenience to virtually every rider presently using Route 8. The present efficient service of a direct route to and from San Francisco will be lost. (See attached Letter to Editor, The Ark, November 18, 2015.) Accordingly, we ask the Board not to eliminate Route 8. The Tiburon Ferry Service takeover should not be linked to eliminating the present commuter bus service. KEEP ROUTE 8 as it is. It is being reasonably utilized with only two morning buses and one return bus.

TO THE EDITOR NOVEMBER 18, 2015 • THE ARK 3 Raise awareness about Route 8 bus as option; don't eliminate it Improving traffic on Tiburon Boulevard is an important priority for our community, and enhancing public transpor- tation is a vital part of our local, state and national efforts to save energy and help our environment. Currently, the Golden Gate Transportation District is studying the feasibility to begin operating the Tiburon ferry and to discontinue the Route 8 bus that connects Tiburon to San Francisco. As a Tiburon resident — and a regular Route 8 rider — I am supportive of the district taking over the ferry service, but I am concerned that the district has earmarked the bus for elimination. The town of Tiburon has developed a Climate Action Plan to determine how our community can reduce green- ; house gas emissions and mitigate the potential impacts of climate change. The plan calls for "less dependence on the automobile" and encourages approaches to make mass tran- sit systems more viable, specifically by increasing "both the frequency and types of transit services available to Tiburon residents, employees and visitors!' The current proposal being studied by the Golden Gate Transportation District to eliminate the Route 8 bus is in direct opposition to this recommendation by making Ti- buron's public transportation less viable. The Golden Gate Transportation District claims .that the bus has low rider- ship, but rather than eliminating it, I suggest conducting a community awareness campaign to highlight the benefits of the- route and to increase ridership, e.g., convenience, uncrowded/quiet buses, friendly drivers, free Wi-Fi, afford- ability, and direct connection of Tiburon to San Francisco .locations beyond the Financial District. Doing so may take more cars off the road, reduce emis- sions and save energy. Please contact the Golden Gate Transportation District and encourage them to support al- ternatives to eliminating the Route 8 bus, while maintaining ferry service, thus making Tiburon a greener place to call home. — Greg Rebchook, Tiburon bait Town of Tiburon • 1505 Tiburon Boulevard • Tiburon, CA 94920 • P. 415.435.7373 E. 415.435.2438 • www.ci.aburon.ca.us Community Development Department December 2, 2015 David Zaltsman, Deputy County Counsel Office of the County Counsel Marin County Civic Center 3501 Civic Center Drive San Rafael, CA 94903 RE: EASTON POINT (MARTHA COMPANY) PROJECT: STATUS OF MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE TOWN OF TIBURON AND THE MARTHA COMPANY Dear Mr. Zaltsman: Frank X.

I was recently made aware that there may be some uncertainty on the part of the County as to the fate of this MOU. Please be advised that the MOU expired by its own terms on December 31, 2014. Shortly before that date, the Martha Company's legal counsel had informed the Tiburon Town Attorney that the Martha Company would not be seeking a time extension of the MOU, thereby ensuring it expiration by limitation at the end of the calendar year.

Many of the projects discussed below became dormant during the recession. Some are newly -approved projects and others are older approvals now under construction. We have seen renewed interest in activating certain older approvals that have been dormant, but several of the projects continue to appear dormant and a few have expired or been abandoned. A. Town of Tiburon applications with approvals or currently being processed are as follows: • Parente Vista Subdivision: 2 lots on 10 acres (end of Antonette Road) • Tiburon Glen: 3 lots on 26 acres (Paradise Drive near Norman Way) • Ling (a.k.a. Stony Hill Development): 3 lots on 5.6 acres (end of Stony Hill Road) • Alta Robles (a.k.a. S.O.D.A./Rabin): 14 lots on 52+ acres (Paradise Drive) • Tiburon Court (Upper Trestle Glen): 3 lots on 13 acres (Trestle Glen Blvd.) • Trestle Glen Circle (Lower Trestle Glen): 3 lots on 14 acres (Trestle Glen Blvd.) • Belvedere -Tiburon Library Expansion (1501 Tiburon Boulevard) • 110 Gilmartin Drive • St. Hilary Church Lot Split • 1694-1696 Tiburon Boulevard B. County of Marin applications involving major unincorporated peninsula properties are as follows: • Easton Point (a.k.a. Martha Company): 43 units on 110 acres (Hillhaven/Old Tiburon) • Sorokko: 5 lots on 16 acres (Paradise Drive) • Salvatore-Swahn: 1 home on 15 acres (Paradise Drive) • Pan Pacific Ocean (a.k.a. Habitat for Humanity): 7 units on 17 acres (Bay Vista Drive) This report summarizes the current status of the above -listed applications. A number -coded map showing the general project locations is attached as Exhibit 1. Town of Tiburon December 20]5 Status of Town of Tiburon Projects Parente Vista Subdivision ----10 acres off Antonette Drive The subdivision map for this project was recorded in November 2013, formally creating the two lots. Subdivision improvements (roads, utilities, etc.) are approved and are underway. A building permit has been issued for one the lower home and its construction is well underway. Town Project Planner: Dan Watrous Tiburon Glen Subdivision ----26 acres off Paradise Drive near Norman Way The Town Council approved a Precise Development Plan for three (3) homes on this site in April 2006, and a Tentative Subdivision Map application was approved in March 2007. Off-site tree mitigation plans were approved by the Town Council in 2008. The Parcel Map application and Subdivision Improvement Drawings were submitted in April 2013 but remain incomplete. The applicants periodically contact Town staff to convey that the project is still being worked on. At last word, the applicant raised the issue of possible minor amendments to the Precise Development Plan being driven by the state and federal review agencies who also issue permits for the project. The Tentative Map approval is valid through March 2017 and may be further extended. Town Project Planner: Scott Anderson Ling (a.k.a. Stony Hill Development) ----5.6 acres at the end of Stony Hill Road A Precise Development Plan application for three (3) lots was approved by the Town Council in March 2008, and a Tentative Subdivision Map application was approved by the Planning Commission in September 2009. The Tentative Map approval is valid until September 2016 and may be further extended. The applicant filed the Parcel Map application in 2015 and it is currently incomplete and under review. Town Project Planner: Dan Watrous Tiburon Court (a.k.a. Upper Trestle Glen) ----13 acres of Trestle Glen Blvd. The Town had approved a Precise Development Plan and Tentative Map for this 3 -lot project several years ago. The property was acquired by new owners in 2011, but they chose not to pursue the approvals to completion. All Town permits and entitlements for the Tiburon Court project expired in October 2015. Alta Robles (a.k.a. Rabin/SODA)----52 acres above Paradise Drive near Seafirth Estates The Town Council approved a Precise Development Plan for this 14 -home project in February of 2012. The applicants submitted a Tentative Map application in September, 2015 and it is currently incomplete and under review. Town Project Planner: Dan Watrous 2 Town of Tiburon December 2015 Trestle Glen Circle (a.k.a. Lower Trestle Glen) ----14 acres off Trestle Glen Blvd. The subdivision map for this project was recorded in July 2013, formally creating the three single family building sites, and installation of the subdivision improvements (road and utilities) is largely complete. Design review applications for two of the three homes have been approved. It is possible that home construction on at least two of the lots could begin in 2016. Town Project Planner: Dan Watrous Belvedere -Tiburon Public Library Expansion The Town Council approved the Site Plan and Architectural drawings for this project in August, 2012. The approval is valid for five (5) years and may be extended. All discretionary permits for the project have been issued by the Town, although conditions of approval and mitigation measures requiring adequate parking for the project remain to be resolved/implemented prior to issuance of a building permit. Building permits and encroachment permits (Town and Caltrans) remain to be secured. Fund-raising for the addition is underway but may take years to complete. Town Project Planner: Scott Anderson 110 Gilmartin Drive This single family home was finaled in the first half of 2015. St. Hilary Church Lot Split The Planning Commission approved the Tentative Map for this 2 -lot split in 2015. The next step will be the filing of a Parcel Map application and Subdivision Improvement Drawings with the Town. Town Project Planner: Dan Watrous 1694-1696 Tiburon Boulevard A conditional use permit for demolition of the building occupied by the New Morning Cafe and Grass Shack was approved by the Town in 2015. The use permit approved construction of a new partial 3 -story mixed-use building with restaurant/retail on the ground floor and two dwelling units above. The next stage will be design review approval for the building. Town Project Planner: Dan Watrous B. Status of County of Marin Projects on the Tiburon Peninsula Easton Point (a.k.a. Martha Company) ----110 acres at the southeastern end of the Peninsula The owners of this property filed applications for a 43 -unit project in December 2008, subject to an amended Stipulated Judgment reached with the County of Marin in 2007. The Town and the Martha Company subsequently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding that offered a reduced -density (32 -lot) alternative project design, but the Martha Company allowed the MOU to 3 Town of Tiburon December 2015 expire On December 31, 2014. The County of Marin's Final EIR was released in June 2013 and additional analysis was required by the County Board of Supervisors in November 2013. In March 2014 the Board of Supervisors declined to certify the Final EIR until certain issues were resolved and the project redesigned. In August 2015, the Martha Company's attorney submitted a letter to the County indicating that it would not amend its application materials prior to certification of the EIR for the project, and urging the County to certify the EIR and begin the merits phase of review. County Project Planner: John Roberto (private consultant) Town of Tiburon contact: Scott Anderson Sorokko----16 acres off Paradise Drive The Board of Supervisors approved this 5 -lot project in October 2008. The Parcel Map has since been recorded and the lots created. Paradise Drive frontage improvements are required prior to construction of homes and these improvements must be processed and approved by the Tiburon Public Works Department, as the portion of Paradise Drive fronting the lots was annexed to the Town in 2014 as part of the SODA (Alta Robles) annexation. The five private lots remain in unincorporated territory. No home designs have yet been filed with the County for any of the lots. Town Contact: Scott Anderson Salvatore-Swahn 15 acres off Paradise Drive Marin County approved the Design Review application for this very large single family dwelling (approximately 16,000 sq. ft.), and a secondary dwelling unit and a detached guesthouse on this property some years ago. The project approval was vested through construction of the roadway leading to the house site. The next required permit would be a building permit for construction of the buildings, but none has been applied for as yet. No estimate is available for when any further work associated with this project might begin. County Project Planner: Jeremy Tejerian Pan Pacific Ocean (a.k.a. Habitat for Humanity) ----17 acres above Bay Vista Drive Master Plan, Tentative Map and Precise Development Plan applications were filed with the County of Marin for this parcel some years ago, and have been revised numerous times. The project appears to have been abandoned by the proponents.

Flood damage is not covered by traditional homeowners' insurance. Flood insurance is only available through the National Flood Insurance Program and there is a 30 day waiting period before the policy is effective. Californians living in areas with any risk of flooding should purchase flood insurance through the NFIP immediately. Learn more at https://www.floodsmart.gov/floodsmart/. Fire Insurance: California FAIR Pian With increased losses, due to more frequent and more severe fires, some insurance companies are not renewing policies or restricting where they write new policies. Consumers should always shop around for homeowners' insurance. If they cannot find standard coverage they should ask an insurance agent or broker about the non -admitted (surplus lines) market. The Legislature also established an insurer of last resort for Californians unable to find standard home insurance. Californians unable to find standard home insurance are entitled to purchase fire insurance from the California FAIR Plan. They can contact the FAIR Plan at https://www.cfpnet.com/. We provide a number of tools on our California Department of Insurance Website to help consumers understand home/residential insurance so that they can make the best decision for their situation, including informational guides, a premium comparison tool, and a new coverage comparison tool that allows consumers to compare differences between insurance policies offered by insurers.

The California Department of Insurance (CDI) public web site provides a premium comparison tool (https://interactive.web.insurance.ca.gov/survey/index.isp) for companies licensed to sell residential insurance. You may wish to contact the insurance companies to see if they are currently accepting new business. What If 1 Can't Find Insurance? If after shopping the market you are still having difficulty obtaining residential insurance, you may want to contact the California FAIR Plan (http://www.cfpnet.com/) to explore your coverage options. As the insurer of last resort, the FAIR Plan should only be considered after a diligent search for coverage in the traditional insurance market. If you are turned down or non -renewed by your current insurance company, or are otherwise in need of coverage, you may apply for coverage under the FAIR Plan through an agent or broker licensed to sell property insurance, or you may contact the FAIR Plan directly at 800-339-4099. Please note that the FAIR Plan only provides coverage for the perils of Fire or Lightning, Internal Explosion, and Smoke. For an additional premium, Extended Coverage (windstorm, hail, explosion, riot or civil commotion, aircraft, vehicles, and volcanic eruption) and Vandalism or Malicious Mischief may be added to the policy. Since the FAIR Pian policy does not cover all the perils insured under a traditional homeowners' insurance policy such as theft or liability, you may want to consider purchasing a "Differences in Conditions" policy in addition to the FAIR Plan policy that will (MORE) 2-2-2 Homeowners resources cover these additional risks. An agent or broker should be able to locate an insurance company that sells this type of coverage. Additional Information on Shopping for and Understanding Residential Insurance The California Department of Insurance (CDI) website provides several tools to help you understand home/residential insurance so that you can make the best decision for your situation. There you will find several informational guides, tips and tools to assist consumers in understanding homeowners' insurance and how to shop for the best product and at the best price to meet their needs. The following Home/Residential Insurance web page(https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01- consumers/105-type/5-residential/index.cfm) takes you to where all this information is contained. If you do not find the information you need, you can call the Department's Consumer Hotline at (800) 927-4357 for assistance. Dedicated insurance experts are available to assist you with any questions on all aspects of insurance. Do you need Flood Insurance? Standard homeowners' insurance doesn't cover flood damage, so it's important for consumers to know what options are available to them for protection from flood losses. The U.S. Congress established the National Flood insurance Program (NFIP) with the passage of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. The NFIP is a Federal program enabling property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance as a protection against flood losses.

BOX 4034 Sacramento, CA 95812 Town Manager Margaret Curran City of Tiburon 1505 Tiburon Blvd. Tiburon, CA 94920 Dear Margaret Curran, DIGEST November 2015 I am writing this letter to ensure that you and your staff are aware of important updates regarding Keep Your Home California, the State's free foreclosure prevention program. Keep Your Home California is a valuable resource that has already helped many homeowners avoid foreclosure. The program offers up to $100,000 per household. We want to make sure you are aware of recent changes which could be critical to helping many more! Keep Your Home California was established under the U.S. Treasury Department's Hardest Hit Fund. As part of this federally funded program, California was allocated nearly $2 billion to help eligible low and moderate income homeowners avoid preventable foreclosures. Since the program's inception in February 2011, Keep Your Home California has provided $1.2 billion in assistance to more than 58,000 California households, each facing a serious financial hardship. There are more than 7,500 additional homeowners currently in process with Keep Your Home California, representing another $650 million in reserved financial assistance. Though not all of the 7,500 homeowners in process will ultimately qualify for assistance, you can see that we are fast approaching the $2 billion mark. There is a limited amount of time to get the remaining funds to hard hit homeowners in your community. While we are heartened by the amount of assistance that we have provided to date, there is still a lot of work to be done. Foreclosure and unemployment rates have come down, but they remain historically high across the state. And although property values are increasing in many areas, the recovery has not been even across the state, and many areas are still suffering from significant negative equity. There are still many California homeowners who are struggling with their mortgage payments. We must continue to raise public awareness about Keep Your Home California to as many people as possible — we could use your help. [Continued] www.KeepYourHomeCalifornia.org r .:t We are very interested in partnering with your office to conduct outreach for Keep Your Home California. Whether it be events, media stories, social media posts, newsletter articles, email blasts or any other way you connect with residents, we appreciate any and all help your office can provide in getting information about Keep Your Horne California to the people who need it in your local community. Many cities already have information about Keep Your Horne California on their websites. If you do not have a Keep Your Horne California button on your homepage — shoot me an email, and we will send you a link right away! We know that your community looks to you to help them find safe, reliable information. 'We also know that when threatened with the prospect of losing their homes, many people become desperate and often respond to less reputable offers guaranteeing help for some kind of a fee. Keep Your Home California provides all of its services FREE OF CHARGE. Please see the enclosed documents with more information about the programs. I have also included a write-up that the League of California Cities recently posted. We can help personalize a similar article to make it relevant to your city.

That is where Keep Your Home California comes in, a free mortgage -assistance program, which is helping low and moderate income homeowners avoid foreclosure and remain in their homes. Keep Your Home California was established under the U.S. Treasury Department's Hardest Hit Fund. As part of this federally funded program, California was allocated nearly $2 billion to help eligible low and moderate income homeowners avoid preventable foreclosures. Since the program's inception in February 2011, Keep Your Home California has provided over $1.1 billion in assistance to more than 56,000 California households, each facing a serious financial hardship. There are nearly 8,000 additional homeowners currently in process with Keep Your Home California, representing another $600 million in reserved financial assistance. Though not all of the 8,000 homeowners in process will ultimately qualify for assistance, the program is fast approaching the $2 billion mark. There is a limited amount of time to get the remaining funds to hard hit homeowners in your city. Keep Your Home California has five programs, each designed to address different financial hardships that may affect an individual's ability to pay their mortgage, to assist homeowners who are struggling with their mortgage payments. Qualifying homeowners can receive up to $100,000 to help them keep their homes. Here are some brief details on the other five programs: o Principal Reduction Program: Homeowners who owe more on their mortgage than the current value of their home and/or have an unaffordable monthly payment may be eligible for as much as $100,000 in principal reduction. A homeowner could save hundreds of dollars every month on their mortgage payments. Participants in this program have seen their loan balance reduced by an average of $75,000, reducing their monthly payments by an average of almost 14 percent. League of California Cities - Homeowners Can Qualify to Receive up to... http://www.cacities.org/TopfNews/News-Articles/2015/September/Hom. Unaffordable and underwater mortgages are critical issues for homeowners and the local economy. o Unemployment Mortgage Assistance Program: Out -of -work homeowners who have received jobless benefits from the state Employment Development Department within the prior 30 days can receive as much as $3,000 per month for up to 18 months, or a total of $54,000. The program allows homeowners to focus on finding a job and not worry about their mortgage payment. o Mortgage Reinstatement Assistance Program: Homeowners who are behind two months or more on their payments could receive as much as $54,000 to help them "catch up" on their past -due mortgage payments. Homeowners must have recovered from their financial hardship and be able to make their mortgage payments going forward in order to qualify for the program. o Transition Assistance Program: Homeowners who have reached an agreement with their mortgage servicer for a deed -in -lieu of foreclosure or short sale can receive up to $5,000 in relocation assistance. The program gives families a chance for a fresh start in a new residence with money for rent, utilities, moving costs or other expenses. o Reverse Mortgage Assistance Pilot Program: Homeowners 62 years or older with a reverse mortgage may qualify for as much as $25,000 to reinstate their past -due property expenses (ie. property taxes and insurance) associated with their reverse mortgage. The reverse mortgage must be a Federal Housing Administration insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM). Regardless of the program, homeowners must have suffered a financial hardship and meet the County Income Limits in order to qualify. The homeowner's mortgage servicer, the company that collects the monthly payment, must also participate in the program. More than 240 mortgage servicers, including Bank of America and Wells Fargo, are enrolled in Keep Your Home California. While the economy and even the housing market have improved in recent years, there is still a tremendous need for the program. Foreclosure and unemployment rates have come down, but they remain historically high across the state. And although property values are increasing in many areas, the recovery has not been even across the state, and several other areas are still suffering from significant negative equity. There are still many California homeowners who are struggling with their mortgage payments.

December 31, 2017 or when the funding is exhausted, whichever comes first. Keep Your Home California is the State of California's version of the U.S. Treasury's "Hardest Hit Fund" program. The 18 states and the District of Columbia that were determined to be hardest hit by the financial downturn were allocated Federal funding to implement foreclosure prevention programs. California received the most funding — nearly $2 billion. Struggling California homeowners can receive up to $100,000 in free, federally funded mortgage payment assistance to prevent foreclosure through Keep Your Home California. There are five unique programs that make up Keep Your Home California, all designed to address different aspects of the foreclosure crisis. All of the programs are for low and moderate income Californians who occupy their homes; not for investors in real estate. Homeowners must meet eligibility criteria in order to qualify for assistance, and all Keep Your Home California services are provided free of charge. Principal Reduction Program Homeowners who owe more on their mortgage than the current value of the house and/ or have an unaffordable monthly payment may be eligible for as much as $100,000 in principal reduction. A homeowner could save hundreds of dollars every month on their mortgage payments. Participants in this program have seen their loan balance reduced by an average of $75,000, reducing their monthly payments by an average of almost 14%. Webpage: http://keenvourhomecalifornia.org/programs/principal-reduction/ Unemployment Mortgage Assistance Program Out -of -work homeowners who have received unemployment benefits from the state Employment Development Department within the prior 30 days can receive up to $3,000 per month for as long as 18 months. The program allows homeowners to look for work without worrying about their mortgage payments. Nearly 30% of the homeowners that take advantage of this benefit end the assistance early because they become re- employed.

Results Mortgage Reinstatement Assistance Program Homeowners could receive as much as $54,000 to catch-up on their past -due mortgage payments. Homeowners must be able to demonstrate that they have recovered from the hardship that caused them to fall behind, and they must be able to make their payments going forward. Without this assistance, those arrearages would have been capitalized (added) to the unpaid principal balance, making those loans unaffordable for many homeowners. Webpage: htto://keeoyourhomecalifornia.org/programs/mortgage-reinstatement-assistance/ Transition Assistance Program Sometimes homeowners, regardless of their best efforts, cannot stay in their homes. If these homeowners avoid foreclosure by working with their servicer to reach an agreement on a short sale or deed -in -lieu of foreclosure, they could be eligible for up to $5,000 in relocation assistance. Webpage: http://keepyourhomecalifornia.org/programs/transition-assistance/ Reverse Mortgage Assistance Pilot Program Low and moderate income homeowners age 62 or older can receive assistance to avoid foreclosure on their reverse mortgages. Senior homeowners who are at risk of losing their home to foreclosure due to delinquent property expenses associated with their Federal Housing Administration -insured reverse mortgages could qualify for up to $25,000. The pilot program, which is combined with a significant level of budget counseling specifically targeted to assist seniors, started in February 2015.

December 1, 2015 Margaret Curran Town Manager City of Tiburon 1505 Tiburon Blvd. Tiburon, CA 94920 Re: California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment Funding Dear Margaret: We are writing to you today regarding a matter of utmost importance: the funding of the California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment. First, a bit of background: In 2009, the League of California Cities (League) and the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) released the results of the first-ever comprehensive California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment. Spurred by a $250,000 contribution toward the effort from the County of Los Angeles, cities and counties made individual financial contributions to raise over $600,000 for the project. The initial funding allowed CSAC and the League to contract with Nichols Consulting Engineers for the development of the first report and finance a two-year update. The resulting report turned out to be even more valuable than anticipated. For example, during the state budget crisis of 2010, the report helped stave off potential raids on state gas tax. This year, the report prompted serious discussions within the Legislature — and an extraordinary session called by Governor Brown — regarding the serious condition of California's roadway network and the need for new funding sources. However, without your city's financial support, the statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment may be discontinued. Based on the previous two reports, we estimate each two-year update to cost $550,000. Regional Transportation Planning Agencies will provide 50 percent of that funding. Cities and counties must provide the other 50 percent for the project to continue. An Oversight Committee composed of volunteers from League member cities, Counties and the Regional Transportation Planning Agencies supervises the Assessment effort. To meet our fundraising goal, we are asking cities to collectively contribute $68,750 every two years. In prior years, cities have been challenged to meet our goal. Please help us turn that trend around by contributing soon to the 2016 report. We ask that your city contribute as much as you deem appropriate toward financing this important advocacy tool. To help you decide the appropriate amount, we offer the following suggestions: Population of the jurisdiction Suggested Contribution Level Below 10,000 $150 Between 10,000 and 25,000 $200 Between 25,000 and 250,000 $400 Above 250,000 $1,000 The report's findings have been startling: The local streets and roads system faces a $78.3 billion shortfall over the next decade. Existing funding for California's local streets and roads is just $1.7 billion annually but $3.3 billion is needed just to maintain the current statewide average pavement condition index (PCI) rating of 66. The comprehensive data provided by the Assessment has been used to advocate against and avoid significant cuts to local transportation funding over a number of state budget cycles. Budget proposals that would have been devastating to cities and counties across the state, and negatively affect the transportation network as a whole, have been thwarted by the League and CSAC with the use of this powerful tool. Most recently, it has provided the factual basis to advocate extensively for increased funding. Specifically, the League and CSAC have used the report to: • Make presentations to key members of the Legislature (and distribute the report to the Governor, each member of the Legislature, and California's congressional delegation) and the California Transportation Commission; • Lobby for increased revenues for cities, as proposed in the First Extraordinary Session on transportation; • Better explain pavement conditions and funding needs to the public through media coverage; • Create a dialogue with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) about the report's methodology, assumptions, and specific findings; • Make local presentations to Boards of Supervisors and City Councils; and • Strengthen the arguments made of numerous letters on legislation and the budget to prevent policies and budgetary decisions that would have damaged local transportation funding. Without the Assessment it would be nearly impossible to fight the trend of funding the state highway system over local streets and roads. For it to continue to be effective in its many uses, the data in the Assessment and its frudings must be updated regularly. It will require the fmancial support of cities to continue this important work. The schedule for contributions above is just a guideline — any and all support is appreciated. Indeed, your city's support itself sends a message to legislators about the need for improving our street and roads. For your convenience, an invoice is included with this letter.
