Dear Mr. Chanis:
D GES e
RECEIVED

TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE
TOWN OFTIBURON
On February 22, 2016, the Marin Transit Board of Directors considered
your request for operational and logistics support for the Reed Union
School District's yellow school bus program. As a result of this
consideration they directed me to begin contract negotiations with the goal
of returning to the Board for contract approval at their April 2016 meeting.
We have asked our legal counsel to develop a draft contract to serve as
the basis for negotiations. To avoid confusion and provide Marin Transit
with the most direct relationship with the yellow bus contractor, we believe
that Marin Transit's contract should be with the entity that holds the
contract with the yellow bus provider. Our current understanding is that you
are quite far along in establishing your traffic mitigation JPA and that you
expect the JPA to hold the contract with First Student for the FY17 school
year. If that is the case, please provide me with the contact information for
the individual who will be authorized to negotiate the contract terms on
behalf of the JPA. It would also be useful for our legal counsel to have a
copy of the Joint Powers Agreement.
I have attached a copy of the letter that went to our Board of Directors at
their February 22nd meeting. As you can see, Marin Transit's ability to take
on this responsibility is contingent on hiring an additional staff person. We
have begun the process of recruiting for that position and hope to have a
qualified individual in place by May 2016. Please let us know if you would
like to participate in the recruitment or selection process. The Board letter
also provides a proposed allocation of the cost of this staff person among
the three school districts that Marin Transit expects to support in upcoming
school year, as well as other ancillary costs that would be the responsibility
of the JPA.
We look forward to working with you and your colleagues on this important
traffic mitigation measure.
Sincerely,
Nance elan
Gen - - Manager

SUBJECT: Staffing for School Transportation Planning and
Administration
Dear Board Members:
RECOMMENDATION: Direct General Manager to 1) negotiate
contract terms with Mill Valley School District and/or Reed Union
School District for yellow bus service operations support; and 2)
develop and recruit for new staff position to support school bus
service.
BACKGROUND:
In partnership with Ross Valley School District and the County of
Marin, Marin Transit began contracting for yellow school bus service
to White Hill Middle School and Brookside Elementary School in Fall
2015. Marin Transit previously served White Hill Middle School with
a supplemental route under contract with Golden Gate Transit.
Initiating yellow bus service provided an opportunity for staff to
understand the special requirements of managing a yellow bus
program and the level of staffing needed for a successful program.
Currently, Marin Transit provides the equivalent of one full-time
position over the course of a year to manage the yellow bus
contract, pass sales and distribution, and communications, and to
process payments. Significant additional staff time was dedicated to
yellow bus planning support for other school districts within the
county including Reed Union School District, Mill Valley School
District and Kentfield School District.
In early 2015, Marin Transit staff began planning to transition White
Hill supplemental bus service to yellow bus service. At the same
time, the Towns of Tiburon and Belvedere engaged the District to
assist in developing improved yellow bus service to Reed Union
School District schools. Marin 'Transit assisted with route planning
and scheduling, and helped procure yellow bus contracts for both
Reed Union School District and Ross Valley School District. In Fall
2015, Tiburon and Belvedere managed the launch of their improved
yellow bus service in partnership with the School District. Marin
1
Item 6
Transit staff continue to manage the Ross Valley yellow bus operations, and provide ongoing
planning support to the Tiburon program.
Marin Transit worked on the Coordinated Countywide School Transportation Study throughout
2015. A key study conclusion found that yellow bus best serves K-8 students and supplemental
fixed route transit best serves the needs of high school students. The study identified "high" and
"medium" demand schools for bus service and whether and how service is currently being
provided and how it could be provided in the future. The study recommended that the K-8
schools served by Marin Transit supplemental transit routes be transitioned over time to yellow
bus and that additional supplemental service be provided to high schools. The study also
recommended further analysis of the select "high" demand schools in the County that lacked
yellow bus service, including schools within the Mill Valley School District.
In December 2015, your Board held a workshop to conclude the work undertaken for the
Countywide Coordinated School Transportation Study and consider Marin Transit's future role in
the provision of school service. During the workshop, your Board discussed a plan to reallocate
supplemental school service to serve high schools only and Marin Transit's possible role in
supporting yellow bus programs for the provision of K-8 student transportation. At the
conclusion of the workshop, your Board recommended that staff develop a five-year plan to
transition supplemental school service to yellow bus service for K-8 students.
SUMMARY:
Requests for Marin Transit Support for Yellow Bus Programs
On January 8, 2016, Marin Transit received a request from the Mill Valley School District for
assistance with operational logistics for next school year and an offer to pay for a staff position
at Marin Transit. This request was followed by a request on January 27, 2016 from the Town of
Tiburon - on behalf of a proposed Traffic Mitigation Joint Powers Authority (JPA) - to provide
day to day operations and logistics support for their yellow bus program. The Tiburon request
also offered to provide funding for staff support. The Coordinated School Transportation Study
identified the schools in both districts as "high" demand schools.
The need to respond to these requests with sufficient time to plan for the FY16/17 school year
necessitates a decision in advance of the completed transition plan requested at the Board
workshop.
Marin Transit's acceptance of the responsibility to oversee school transportation for Mill Valley
and Reed Unified School Districts is contingent on:
■ Reaching agreement on financial compensation for providing the service;
• Negotiating mutually acceptable contract terms; and
■ Filling a new staff position.
With the transition of contracting responsibility from the Reed Union School District to the
possible JPA, executing a final agreement will also be contingent on formation of the JPA.
Marin Transit anticipates that the division of responsibilities among the parties for key tasks will
be as follows:
Item 6
Task Responsibility
Contracting for Services School District/JPA
Route Planning JPA/Marin Transit
Bus Pass Sales JPA/Marin Transit
Bus Pass Distribution School District
Parent Communication — General School District/JPA
Parent Communication — Service Disruption Marin Transit
Contractor Communication/Complaint Marin Transit
Management
Contractor Payments School District/JPA
Operations Planning Contractor and Marin Transit
Service Monitoring Marin Transit
A more detailed task list and responsibilities will be included with the proposed agreements.
New Staff Position
To successfully provide oversight to three school districts Marin Transit will need to hire
additional staff. This position would fall within either the Administrative or Analyst employment
classification. Key responsibilities for this position will be:
• Printing and distribution of school bus passes;
• Oversight of daily school bus operations;
• Communication with schools, parents, and contractor(s) in the event of service
disruptions; and
• Day to day communication/troubleshooting (e.g. website assistance, participating in
planning meetings, coordinating services changes, updating rosters)
Additional Contract Considerations
Term
Marin Transit has only recently taken on responsibility for providing traditional school bus
service to the Ross Valley School District (under contract with Michael's Transportation) and
Marin Transit's long term role in school bus service is still evolving. Additionally, funding from
Reed Union and Mill Valley School Districts for operational logistics management may be limited
to one or two years. For these reasons short term contracts are advised.
Contracting Parties
Although both the Mill Valley School District and the Reed Union School District program are
operated or planning to operate with funding from the cities and towns, the appropriate
contracting entity to sign an MOU with Marin Transit will be the entity that holds the contract with
the yellow bus provider. This will give Marin Transit the appropriate authority to oversee the
provider's operations.
Future Contracts
Item 6
Agreeing to take on management of these additional school districts could open the door to
more school districts requesting support. Although no formal request has occurred, Staff are
assisting other schools that are identified as "high" demand in the study or new schools in the
County. These include schools in the Kentfield School District and Ross Valley Charter.
Additionally, the report recommends that K-8 schools in the Larkspur -Corte Madera, Novato,
and Sausalito -Marin City School Districts now served by supplemental school service transition
over time to yellow bus operations. The Coordinated School Transportation Study transition plan
will need to address Marin Transit's role in providing start-up and ongoing support for school
bus service throughout the County.
If directed by the Board, the General Manager will begin negotiating contracts with the Mill
Valley and Reed Union School Districts. The contracts will be brought to your Board for
approval.
FISCAL/STAFFING IMPACT:
The annual cost of an additional staff person is anticipated to be approximately $100,000. The
actual cost will vary based on the experience level of the expected candidate. Marin Transit's
existing staff will continue to work on school services to ensure accurate invoice processing,
manage the new position, provide contracting and information technology support, and plan for
new yellow bus services elsewhere in the County. The estimates below reflect the current level
of staff support and the addition of a new position. The costs have been allocated to school
districts based on the number of vehicles operated for each district. The chart also shows the
anticipated credit card fees per school, if Marin Transit administers the bus pass purchase, and
the cost of adding the Syncromatics real-time system to the school bus fleets. Other ancillary
costs such as printing and signage are not included in the forecast.

For the past several months, the Mill Valley School District and City of Mill Valley have worked
with Robert Betts and his staff on the prospect of providing yellow school bus service for the
first time in Mill Valley.
With the assistance of Robert, we administered a parent survey to approximately 2200 families
and received over 2000 responses. This was a record survey response for our District! Next,
Robert and his staff analyzed the survey results and created demographic maps accordingto
parent interest in bus transportation. Ultimately, this led to creating sample bus routes
according to parent importance.
With the partnership of the City of Mill Valley and the County of Marin, we are planning to
operate two busses next year that would serve the Mill Valley Middle School, Strawberry Point
Elementary School, Tam Valley Elementary School, and Edna Maguire Elementary School. We.
are not transportation experts and have not operated a transportation department here in Mill
Valley before.
The Mill Valley School District is requesting Marin Transit's assistance with operational logistics
for next year and is offering to pay for a staff person at Marin Transit to help. I have had a
conversation with Robert about this request and am formalizing this in a letter at the
suggestion of Marin County Supervisor Steve Kinsey.
We really appreciate the assistance of Robert and his staff. They have been invaluable in
helping Mill Valley get to the point of actually offering yellow school bus transportation for next
year. We hope to reduce 259 cars from the road each day!
Th you t e support and your consideration!

RE: Tiburon Peninsula Yellow Bus Challenge 2.0
Dear Board Members,
For some time now, the Town of Tiburon, the City of Belvedere and Reed
Union School District (RUSD) have been investigating ways to relieve school-
related traffic congestion on Tiburon Boulevard. After careful planning, we
launched our pilot Yellow Bus Challenge 2.0 school bus program in 2015-16. The
enhanced program increased the number of bus routes from six to 14, lowered
travel times to 30 minutes or less, separated students by age grouping, and cut
the price of bus passes in half, thanks to a subsidy from our local
municipalities.
The pilot program has been a resounding success. School bus ridership has
nearly doubled to 44 per cent of RUSD's 1,500 student population, and transit
times on Tiburon Boulevard have dropped significantly during school start and
end times, compared with the same period last year.
We are working to establish the program on a permanent footing. A Traffic- .
Mitigation Joint Powers Authority ()FA) is in the process of being established
between The Town of Tiburon, the City of Belvedere and RUSD to oversee and
fund the program. The Town and City Councils have authorized staff to
include proposed appropriations in their respective budgets for the next
fiscal/school year to subsidize the program for another year, assuming the
program goes forward and a JPA is formed between Tiburon, Belvedere and
RUSD.
We are also reviewing,how best to administer the program. Day-to-day
operations fell to RUSD this school year, but the time commitment on District
staff is unsustainable. As we look ahead, Robert Betts suggested Marin Transit
may be open to providing operational and logistics support for the program.

Given Marin Transit's expertise in this area, this would be a highly desirable
outcome, and we clearly see the opportunity for Tiburon, Belvedere, RUSD,
and perhaps others, to provide funding to Marin Transit in support of such a
position.
Through their advice and technical support, Robert Betts and his team have
been instrumental in the success of the first year of our program, and I would
like to take this opportunity to thank them for their support. We could not hope
for a better partner as we build our program for the future, and look forward
to discussing the possibilities for collaboration with Marin Transit.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Greg Chanis, Town Manager
Town Council
FROM: Scott Anderson, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Tribal Consultation Requirements from new State Law (AB 52)
DATE: March 3, 2016
A new state law (AB 52) went into effect last year that will likely affect the processing time of
any project that is not exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (i.e., an Initial
Study/Negative Declaration or an EIR are required to be prepared).
AB 52 established a formal consultation requirement between an agency and Native American
Tribes that have a traditional and cultural affiliation with the geographic jurisdiction of that
agency. For the Town of Tiburon, there are potentially several Tribes that could meet that
criterion, but thus far only the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (FIGR), based in
Rohnert Park, have provided the Town written notification (see attached letter) that they wish
to receive formal notification and information on any such projects. In the past week, the Town
has sent three such requests for formal consultation to FIGR on projects where it is known that
an Initial Study will be required (at a minimum) for the project. The 30 -day window for FIGR to
respond with a request for formal consultation has not yet closed, so it is too early to
determine if formal consultation will be requested for any of these projects. Formal
consultation is more likely to be requested if a project involves any substantive digging into the
ground, the development of previously undeveloped land, or a project located in a high -
sensitivity area for historic Native American activity or occupation.
There is no specified outer time limit to conclusion of a formal consultation once initiated.
Town staff has had cordial, professional, and very reasonable interactions with FIGR in past
years and anticipates that pattern will continue with any AB 52 -related consultations.
However, the structure and timelines set forth in AB 52, even if implemented with dispatch, will
result in slower processing of projects not exempt from CEQA, including Town Public Works
projects.
A very brief summary of the AB 52 process is set forth below.
PROCESS:
➢ California tribe is obligated to put local agency on notice (written) requesting of all projects, along
with a lead contact for notification
➢ Within 14 days following determination that an application is complete, local agency must notify
tribe in writing of the project, along with a project description and any supportive
documents/studies. Letter must note that the tribe has 30 days to request consultation.
1 (Page
Town of Tiburon
MEMORANDUM
➢ If tribe requests consultation, local agency must begin consultation process within 30 days of
receiving a request for consultation.
➢ Tribe may request that consultation include:
o The type of environmental review necessary
o Project alternatives
o Recommended preservation or mitigation measure
o Tribe may propose mitigation measures
➢ Unless the tribe provides written consent to public disclosure of information, project sponsor and
local agency shall maintain the confidentiality of the information. However, this does not apply to
information that is public knowledge already obtained by the agency and in the public record
Consultation is considered to be concluded when either:
o Parties agree to mitigate or avoid a significant effect, if one exists on a tribal cultural
resource
o A party concluded that mutual agreement is not possible regarding the appropriate
measures to be taken that would mitigate or avoid a significant effect
o Tribe does not respond to local agency within the prescribed 30 -day offer of consultation
➢ If agency and tribe agree upon appropriate mitigation measures, they must be included in the EIR or
Mitigated Negative Declaration, as well as the accompanying MM RP to lessen or avoid the impact
• Certification of an EIR or adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration which includes a significant
impact to a tribal cultural resource can occur only when:
o The consultation process has occurred and concluded
o The tribe has requested consultation but has failed to provide comments or otherwise failed
to engage in the consultation process; or
o The agency has notified the tribe of the project but the tribe failed to request consultation
within 30 days.
Town Staff will continue to keep the Council apprised of AB 52 developments as they unfold.

REASONS FOR SELECTING
YOUR AREAS OF INTEREST
As the mother of two boys, ages one (Gavin) and six (Jackson), I have been able to take advantage of
many of the wonderful offerings of The Ranch. Jackson participates in after-school activities at The
Ranch four days a week, and has participated in both Camp Miwok and Angel Island Camp. Gavin
and I attend the Mommy & Tot classes; and Jackson's fifth birthday party was held at the Belvedere
Community Center. I am interested in serving on the Recreation Committee because I strongly
believe in its mission and feel I can contribute toward its continued success. I am passionate about
programs and activities that would engage, stimulate, and grow members of our community across
all age ranges; mentally, physically, and even spiritually. I see our community center playing a large
role in bringing our members together and elevating their life experience.
IMODIT
APPLICABLE QUALIFICATIONS
AND EXPERIENCE
Prior to moving to Tiburon, our family lived in Manhattan for 12 years. In New York, I studied and
enrolled Jackson in a number of programs including music, sports, and child development classes for
toddlers and preschool children. The client base (primarily moms) in New York is similar to the
client base in Belvedere -Tiburon in that they are both high -achieving and demanding when it comes
to the quality of programs they expect for their children. I have ideas for potential new programs that
could be offered at The Ranch and I am willing to do the work to bring those programs to fruition. I
have volunteered in a number of organizations in executing programs and events. Most recently, I
served as the Boutique Chair for the Art Angels Fair at St. Stephen's Church, where my family has
been actively involved for the past three years (my husband serves on the Vestry). As the Boutique
Chair, I helped source over 30 vendors and the Fair continues to be the church's largest and most
important fundraiser. Because of my extensive involvement with the church, I have had the
opportunity to become friends and interact with members of the community across all age ranges and
demographics. I am collaborative and work well with others. I ran a small jeans company of 5
members and 1 have experience relating well to others both professionally and personally.

Please join me in participating in "Mayors For Meals," a wonderful opportunity to help raise
awareness to end senior hunger in Marin.
During the week of March 21, 2016, Whistlestop will be hosting the nationwide event sponsored
by the Meals on Wheels Association of America. The goal of the event is to raise awareness for
the hundreds of older adults in Marin who would be hungry without the home -delivered meals
this service offers. You will have the opportunity to ride along with a Meals On Wheels delivery
driver in your community to meet the meal recipients and personally deliver their meals.
Marin will be joining about 1,500 elected leaders across the nation who will deliver meals with
their local Meals On Wheels programs in the 2016 Mayors For Meals event. Last year, the 9th
annual nationwide Mayors For Meals Day attracted attention from more than 100. online news
outlets including USA Today and AOL News.
Whistlestop is coordinating the logistics for our Marin event. If you are from Sausalito, Novato,
Mill Valley, Tiburon, Fairfax or San Anselmo, deliveries take place in the morning beginning at
8:45am. Corte Madera, Ross, Larkspur and San Rafael deliveries happen in the afternoon
beginning at 12:45pm. You may choose to schedule your ride -along on Monday, March 21st,
Wednesday, March 23rd or Friday, March 25th. Please contact, Erika Vaughn by Friday, March
4 at 415-456-9062 x176 or evaughn@whistlestop.org to express your interest in participating.
I hope we can achieve a 100% Marin Mayor participation rate to show our support for the
community efforts to end senior hunger in Marin.

CHILDREN AND FAMILIES COMMISSION
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
;REST C-;
March 2016
On behalf of First 5 Marin Children and Families Commission, I am pleased to present our
Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2014-15. This report summarizes our investments in children's
health, school readiness and community support for children and families—with total
expenditures of nearly $1.5 million.
Children's Health — We are proud to have continued our funding of healthcare premiums for
uninsured children as well as a major investment in healthcare enrollment and utilization—to
ensure that we reach families, help them enroll in insurance programs and use their benefits.
In addition, we continued to support the Early Childhood Mental Health Project, with ongoing
success.
Early Childhood Education — We are pleased to continue our long-time support for Pickleweed
Preschool, the FLAGship, Summer Bridge programs throughout the county, and "Aprendiendo
Juntos" (a curriculum -based playgroup for children without preschool) to help every child
prepare for kindergarten. We also invested in materials and support, in collaboration with the
Marin Community Foundation and California First 5, for quality improvement work for early
childhood educators.
Community Outreach and Advocacy — We continue to fund MarinKids, the advocacy
movement for children in Marin County. And we are proud to offer monthly workshops to our
community partners and others through the "Marin Communications Forum" and "Voces de
Marin." We invite you and your staff to attend these free educational events and trainings.
Please join us on May 13th! We would also like to take this opportunity to invite you to
our annual policy breakfast on Friday, May 13th from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Embassy Suites
in San Rafael. We are planning an interactive discussion about equity in Marin. (More
information or RSVP to Michelle@First5Marin.org.) Hope to see you there!
As always, we are dedicated to ensuring that all young children in Marin County have a strong
start in their first five years; and we appreciate your efforts and your support, and that of all
our community partners.
Sincerely,
vtAd pz'

"One of our Council goals was to create
safeguards that address the City's
unfunded pension liabilities. Also, we
wanted to reduce our contribution rate
volatility. After careful evaluation, it
was determined that the PARS PRSP
met all of our needs by providing local
control of our investment. The PARS
staff was great to work with. They were
able to meet with Council members on
short notice, which made the education
process regarding their products much
easier. Council was very supportive of
the process."
— David Mickaelian
City Manager, Healdsburg
"The City Council asked that we be
aggressive in the management of
retirement liabilities. Our strategy
focuses on generating additional
resources to reduce long-term
retirement costs, improve the return
on investment, and retain maximum
local control. The PARS PRSP
accomplishes that."

City Manager, Coronado
GET IN TOUCH
THE CITIES OF CORONADO & HEALDSBURG JOIN THE PARS
PENSION RATE STABILIZATION PROGRAM (PRSP)
The cities of Coronado and Healdsburg became two of the latest municipalities
to join the rapidly growing PARS Pension Rate Stabilization Program
(PRSP); where funds can be set aside and invested to reduce liabilities and address
pension obligations all while remaining under local control and discretion of the
city. This innovative Section 115 multiple -employer trust helps cities prepare for
future pension fund rate increases, at a risk tolerance level that aligns with their
demographics and investment policies.
Both Coronado and Healdsburg are renowned tourist destinations, with Coronado
Laying claim to the 130 year old Hotel Del Coronado resort, and Healdsburg boasting
some of the most famous wine regions in the U.S., perhaps the world. With the
volatility of the tourism industry, it has been important for leaders of these cities
to make long-term financial decisions that can withstand unexpected downturns.
For the past several years, vension liabilities have been a focal point of both cities'
fiscal conversations as both realize the importance of staying ahead of increasing
costs. With the recent release (and now implementation) of GASB 68, the search for
long-term solutions became that much more pressing to city leaders.
A New and Better Option
Already having prior business relationships with PARS, Healdsburg and Coronado
were among the first agencies to hear about the PARS Pension Rate Stabilization
Program (PRSP). Its unique GASB -compliant design appealed to both cities and
was seen as an immediate and long-term improvement to pension pre -funding.
This Program, which was awarded a favorable IRS Private Letter Ruling, also
allows pre -funding of retiree medical benefits (OPEB), which are sub -accounted
for separately. to

TRUSTED SOLUTIONS. LASTING RESULTS.
City leaders of Healdsburg noted that prior to the PARS PRSP, the only option
for reducing unfunded pension liabilities was to commit additional funds to their
pension program. Unfortunately these funds would then be subject to the same
market volatility risk of that program's 7.5% pension investment policy target,
plus those funds would then be unaccessible to the City. With the PARS plan,
participating agencies can match their investment strategy with their
risk tolerance and performance goals, diversify investments, earn a
potentially greater rate ofreturn than the General Fund and have Local
access to the funds should pension rates continue to rise.
The City of Coronado had already set aside money in their General Fund earmarked
for pension, but they wanted to get more out of those funds. They pointed out
that the PARS PRSP would not only earn a greater rate of return in
the long run compared to their current arrangement, but also that
the assets in the trust would immediately Iower the City's Net Pension
Liability (NPL) for GASB 68 purposes. Understanding that pre -funding
benefit liabilities represents "best practice' by the Government Finance Officer's
Association (GFOA), Coronado also noted that credit rating agencies perceive
pre -funding into a trust more favorably than earmarking funds within the City's
pooled cash and investments.
The City Councils for both Healdsburg and Coronado agreed with their respective
staff's recommendation and voted to adopt the PARS Pension Rate Stabilization
Program (PRSP) to begin pre -funding their pension liabilities.
For more information or to find out how the PARS PRSP can lower
your city's pension liabilities, contact:
Mitch Barker at 800.540.6369 x 116; mbarker@pars.org
