ACTION ITEMS
1. McKegney Green Soccer Field Upgrade — Consider consultant's report and provide
direction to staff (Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Barnes)
Town Manager Chanis said the Council discussed McKegney Green at its March 2, 2016 regular
meeting, and authorized a pre -design scoping study to better determine the project requirements
for a possible renovation of McKegney field. He said staff had engaged Abbey Arnold
Associates for the study on March 4, 2016. Chanis noted that McKegney field was also
discussed at the Town Council/Staff Retreat on April 1, 2016.
The Town Manager said these discussions centered on how the elevated levels of salt found in
the soil, and recycled water used for irrigation, might affect the project. He said Council had
requested staff to investigate turf grasses used near salt water on golf courses in the Bay Area to
see if these might be suitable for use on the McKegney project.
Town Manager Chanis reported that the pre -design study had been completed and included
information related to: existing soil conditions, irrigation water sources, and biological
considerations at the site. Using this information, Chanis said the consultant has provided five
(5) possible options for improving the existing field, along with associated estimates of probable
cost.
The Town Manager summarized these findings and recommendations in a power point
presentation. He noted there were five options listed; however, he said many other possible
iterations could be considered.
With regard to selection of grasses, Chanis said that the use of Paspalum [grass] would be
experimental on a soccer playing field surface (he said it had only been used on golf courses in
the Bay Area) but it could be used with the recycled water currently used to irrigate the field. But
he said if the Town's 1988 permit for recycled water were reopened for any reason, its use might
not be allowed on a playing field. He said current regulations would require additional treatment
at a cost of $3.38 per cubic foot.
DRAFT
Town Council Minutes #xx -2016 May 4, 2016 Page 2
If Bermuda grass is selected for the field, Chanis said it would need year-round irrigation which
would require potable water. The Town Manager said the cost of potable versus recycled water
would add $310,000 to the cost of options to be considered — $310,000 being the estimated
connection fee for Marin Municipal Water District.
The Town Manager said that staff had also been requested to evaluate artificial turf in the study.
Chanis said natural turf provides 800 hours of playing time versus 1200 hours of playing time per
year. He said natural turf would require re -sodding every 10 years, and that the cost for natural
turf options included "reserves" for replacement of the sod.
Town Manager Chanis said artificial turf would also need replacement every 10 years. He said
most fields used fencing to protect the turf from undo wear and tear, soiling by dogs, and the like.
He said artificial turf's popularity and durability might result in increased use and unintended
consequences like inadequate parking and traffic problems. He said these issues had not been
analyzed in the scoping study.
Chanis reviewed a matrix of the five options:
Plan 1 would include repair of the existing 75,000 square foot sand -based field; repair the existing
irrigation but make no additional drainage improvements to address standing or pooled water. The
cost of this plan is estimated at $685,000, and with the addition of potable water, would come to
$995,000.
Plan 1A would include improved drainage which could increase field usage time, and is
estimated to cost $865,000, plus potable water, for a total of $1.75 million.
Plan 2 would restore the entire field area to 1975 functionality — 75,000 of sand -based field and
75,000 of soil -based field, plus upgrades to irrigation and drainage. Chanis said this cost is
estimated at $1.1 million, without potable irrigation water, and $1,410,000 with potable water.
Plan 3 would expand the sand -based area, according to the Town Manager, increasing it to
200,000 square feet of sand -based field. He said the expansion of the sand -based area would
allow multiple playing fields. This plan envisions a complete replacement of irrigation, drainage
improvements, and potable water, at an estimated cost of $2.6 million. Chanis noted that the
cubic footage of water needed for this option would exceed the current permit.
Plan 4 would consist of 180,000 square feet of artificial turf, one large field and two smaller
fields, all-weather play, and fencing. He said the estimated cost is $3.1 million (and
parking/traffic issues not part of study).
The discussion moved to Council questions.
DRAFT
Town Council Minutes #xx -2016 May 4, 2016 Page 3
Councilmember O'Donnell asked about the reluctance to re -open the 1998 water permit. Town
Manager Chanis said regulations had changed and it was likely that the secondary recycled water
currently used by the Town for irrigation would not be allowed under a new permit. He said that
Department of Health Title 22 (use of recycled water) called for tertiary water to irrigate
playgrounds used by children.
O'Donnell said he had spoken informally with a local water engineer who said that this type of
water (secondary water) has been chlorinated and is very clean. He asked whether an analysis
had been done of the water.
Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Barnes said that the Town had information from the
Sewerage Agency of Southern Marin (SASM) that the water is, in fact, secondary treated water.
He said that tertiary water is a finer filtration. He agreed that secondary water is chlorinated and
looks as clean as drinking water. However, Barnes said even using conservative calculations the
salt levels are double what should be used for irrigation. He said the consultant's report
recommended a 75% potable/25% tertiary water mix for irrigation.
Councilmember O'Donnell asked if recycled water was used on other parks in Town. Director
Barnes said it was only used at South Knoll Park and McKegney Green.
O'Donnell asked whether any discussions or negotiations had been initiated with Richardson Bay
Sanitary District on the topic of water usage. Barnes said there had been some discussion but all
indications were that any change to the permit might result in a loss of permitted water.
Councilmember Fredericks asked whether planting Paspalum would require using only recycled
water, and conversely, whether the Town would be at risk during drought years if it used potable
water.
Town Manager Chanis replied that if the Town switched to potable water for irrigation, there
would not be a limit on the gallons used for irrigation. Under this scenario, Paspalum grass
would not be needed. But he acknowledged that if mandated restrictions were implemented
during a drought, and water usage constrained, there would be a risk in switching to potable
water.
Director Barnes noted that the City of Mill Valley had struggled during the drought but had
managed to keep their fields alive over the summer.
Councilmember Fredericks asked about timing and whether the Council night consider a two-
tiered decision-making process: that is, a design selection phase, along with an identification of
funding phase. With regard to timing of the project, Town Manager Chanis said that if funding
were available today, it was possible that a minimal project could be ready this Fall.
DRAFT
Town Council Minutes #xx -2016 May 4, 2016 Page 4
Councilmembers Fredericks and O'Donnell asked questions about the pro's and con's of
Paspalum versus Bermuda grass, and the impacts on water use and irrigation, and possible
infiltration by other types of grasses.
Town Manager Chanis said the cost of installing the two grasses was about the same (about
$125,000). O'Donnell reasoned that if the Town installed Paspalum and it did not work out, it
could be replaced. Town Manager Chanis said that if Bermuda grass was installed, the Town
would have to switch to potable water for irrigation. Director Barnes said that installing a
potable system, and blending water, would open the Town's permit to review.
Vice Mayor Fraser asked questions about the need to expand the size of the field, even doubling
it, from 75,000 square feet. Chanis said the needs of the field users was not part of this study,
however, he said that a larger area would allow rotation of fields, moving of goal posts and the
like, which would spread the usage to a wider area and lessen the impact on just one field. He
said Town staff had heard from the field proponents that there was a desire for more space.
Vice Mayor Fraser commented that it would be good to "do it right" the first time and not have to
revisit the idea later, when there was a desire for more field space. He also asked whether Staff
had received feedback on natural versus artificial turf, and whether anyone had talked to users of
the Tam High School fields — one artificial turf which seemed to have a lot of usage — and one
natural turf. Director Barnes said no, but noted the consultant said artificial turf was a "game
changer" in the two locations he had worked on.
Councilmember Fredericks asked why artificial turf fields needed to be fenced. Barnes said it
was to protect the turf from vandalism and from dog waste.
Councilmember O'Donnell said he, too, had questions about the size specifications in the study.
He said the original estimates from the soccer club were different than the proposed
specifications in the study.
He noted the existing area had built-in drainage through crowning and swales (French drains) and
suggested that these drainage systems be utilized in the new plan.
O'Donnell wondered how it was known that 75,000 square feet of the existing field was sand -
based, and 75,000 was soil based. Director Barnes said that the Town had the 1975 field plans
and said the consultant had verified this data in the field, through borings to measure sand depth
and salt.
Town Manager Chanis said that Plan 2 essentially mirrored the 1975 plans with some
improvement to drainage.
Vice Mayor Fraser asked about the water exchange between SASM and Richardson Bay Sanitary
District. Director Barnes explained how the water is pumped to SASM for treatment, and then is
pumped back to Richardson Bay for usage, and through a water main to the outfall near Sanitary
District No. 5.
DRAFT
Town Council Minutes #xx -2016 May 4, 2016 Page 5
Vice Mayor Fraser asked about a variation on Plan 3 that would keep the existing practice fields
in grass and perhaps install artificial turf on the main field. He asked whether the configuration
would take care of the concerns about re -opening the Town's water permit. Town Manager
Chanis said that could be an option, and staff could put together a scenario. He noted that this
option would require a hybrid system for irrigation, however.
Councilmember Doyle said the upside to the Vice Mayor's suggestion is that it would mean that
certain areas of the field were left [as grassy areas] for people to use on a more casual basis, for
sunning, flying kites, and the like. Then, the turf field could be fenced for sports use, similar to
how it is used at Dominican University. He said the Town should get an estimate for this
scenario, and the use of a turf field could generate more revenue to pay for its installation. Doyle
said the Dominican field was a great field.
Director Barnes noted that the artificial turf contemplated by the consultant's report was not the
rubber -pellet type that was seen as controversial. Also, he said the turf could be "watered down"
to address heat issues, if needed.
Mayor Tollini opened the matter to public comment.
"Soccer Dad" Bill Ross said the cost of the different scenarios in the study were daunting but the
alternative was an unsafe field that is unavailable for play a good part of the year (five months
this year already). He said the existing playing surface was pitted and uneven which is not
conducive to learning good soccer skills. He said the soccer club is the biggest user of the field,
however, he acknowledged the different types of users for the greater recreational area. He said
if it were just soccer, artificial turf would be a preference. He added that he was not sure why
fencing would be needed.
Mr. Ross said he had walked off an area of 110 x 70 feet. He said the field size needed for
soccer was 100-110 by 55 feet wide. He also described a 60x40 foot field for the under -12 age
group, and an even smaller field for under -10. He said there would be adequate room there for
these uses, and the fields would not need to be lined. So he said his preference would be a field
size somewhere between 110 and 125,000 square feet —somewhere between Options 2 and 3 --
and a sand -based, Bermuda grass field.
Elena Stephens, who said she had both soccer and lacrosse players in her family who use the
field, noted the seasons have been extended in these sports and some clubs have year-round
programs. She said having more field areas with more use would be beneficial. She said that
more playing time is sought by and hoped for by the young families with children in Town.
Tiburon Soccer Club representative, Mattias Kreutzman, said the TSC had 800 players. He
thanked the Council for considering upgrades to the field. Kreutzman said an artificial turf field
would be fantastic, and a hybrid plan would be fantastic, as well.

Town Council Minuses #xx -2016 May 4, 2016 Page 6
There were no additional speakers and Mayor Tollini closed the matter to public corrunent.
The Council began its deliberations at 8:20 p.m.
Councilmember Fredericks said she had long supported upgrades to the field and agreed that a
playable, safe field was needed. She also spoke of the conflicting interests that arise over the use
of McKegney Green. She said our townspeople value open space, and the scenic, leisurely and
uncrowded nature of the green; she said these values are memorialized in the Town's General
Plan and recreation survey. Fredericks noted that while there are more children in town, as
mentioned by one of the speakers, the schools had also noted that they have reached an apogee in
population.
Fredericks said the aforementioned recreation study stated that 50% of Town residents are over
the age of 45. She said this age group values walking and other forms of exercise on flat
surfaces. What this means, according to Fredericks, is a need to make the best use of the fields
for both sports and other uses. But she said that extending the hours of play would represent a
"lost opportunity cost" to a significant number of other, non -sports users. She said the goal
should be useable fields at current levels of use (and maybe a bit more), and fields that are
useable for more months of the year.
Fredericks said the Town should seek to control costs and water use, with a lowest priority of
enlarging the field and extending hours of play (and a need to generate more revenue). She said
she was gravitating toward support of Plan 2 which represents a balance of use, a more feasible
cost, and realistic and reasonable field size and use levels. She said this recommendation should
also be considered within the context of Councilmember Doyle's remarks.
Councilmember O'Donnell echoed most of his colleague's remarks, but said he was not in favor
of artificial turf. He said he supported a way to fix the field that was cost effective and would not
spend the Town's resources unwisely. But he said he was against Plan 2 because we don't need
150,000 square feet of playing field; he recommended that 110 or 120,000 square feet be
considered.
O'Donnell said the use of recycled water was more environmentally friendly than the use of
potable water; he said he did not "buy into" the State's regulations that would require tertiary
treatment. He said he would like to explore the use of Paspalum grass, as it is used extensively
for high impact sports like football (in Orlando and Jacksonville stadiums).
Councilmember O'Donnell said that Option 1 would more closely mirror the existing field
footprint and budget. He said he would like to see the soccer club raise $150,000, perhaps
through a field use fee, and this contribution would go a long way toward winning over the non -
soccer users. He said the other options would require fencing, and would contribute to a higher
intensity of use in the area, and noise, which would have impacts on surrounding neighbors. He
said what was needed was a nice, level playing surface, with natural turf, and moderated use by

the soccer players (by moving goal posts arounds, etc.); and leave the natural drainage that is
there now.
Vice Mayor Fraser said he was intrigued by Councilmember Doyle's suggestion for a
combination of fields, utilizing both natural and artificial turf. O'Donnell agreed that a multi-
use environment, consisting of regulation and practice fields, was important.
Councilmember Doyle said he was very glad to see the Council undertaking this analysis. He
agreed that McKegney Green is a special place. He said he would support Council consensus for
whatever works in the long run but noted that maintenance costs for grass were much higher than
turf ($70,000 for grass and $10,000 for artificial turf). He suggested that an analysis of a
combined field would be the wise thing to do.
Mayor Tollini said the Council was unanimous in its desire to see McKegney Green "fixed for
our kids". However, she said she did not agree with installing artificial turf. She said it would be
sad to see a fenced field, and a field that looked "fake", in that location. She said the area is a
"gem" and part of the Town's open space; she said Tiburon is known for its open spaces which
must be preserved. She discouraged the use of painted lines.
Mayor Tollini said that the goal should be to install new grass only once, and that she was a bit
nervous about experimenting with the Paspalum grass, especially if the drainage is not upgraded.
She said she would like a long-term solution so that the issues did not have to be revisited for 10
years. She said a field size of 110-125,000 square feet seemed more useable in the long run.
Mayor Tollini said the biggest question was money — how to pay for the improvements. She said
she would support a plan, possibly Plan 1A, if snatching funds could be raised by the community.
She said she would also support a multi-year [phased] plan. But she noted the possible budget
impacts in the corning year of a new [Hawthorne Terrace] undergrounding district; estimated to
cost up to $2 million in Town funds. She said some time should be taken to find a way to pay for
the project.
Councilmember O'Donnell pointed out that the Paspalum grass was recommended by the
consultant as a way to use the Town's current irrigation, and not have to convert to more
expensive potable water. Mayor Tollini and Councilmember Fredericks said that they interpreted
the consultant's findings as a recommendation against using this type of grass.
Fredericks said both grasses had associated risks — one for possible failure (because it had not
been shown to be successful at this latitude) and one that could be adversely impacted by drought
and water restrictions. Mayor Tollini said some other agencies' fields had survived the drought.
Councilmember Doyle said he would prefer natural grass, as well, but noted that installing
artificial turf would mitigate both the risks mentioned by Fredericks. In addition, Doyle said it
would allow year-round play.
DRAFT
Town Council Minutes #xx -2016 May 4, 2016 Page 8
Councilmember O'Donnell said a well -drained field should allow year-round play, as well.
Vice Mayor Fraser said it would be presumptive to think there was opposition to artificial turf in
the community without first asking. Mayor Tollini noted that tonight's meeting represented an
opportunity for people to comment on the options.
Mayor Tollini, as well as Councilmembers Fredericks and O'Donnell concluded, in the end, they
could not support the use of artificial turf in that location, or further study of that option.
Mayor Tollini continued to press for improved drainage on the field. Bill Ross commented that
if the non -sand -based area is not improved, it would not be a useable [field] area.
The Council continued its back and forth discussion about the field sizes and maintenance costs,
and which of the five options — Plan 1, 1 A, 2, 3 or 4 — might be viable. Because no consensus on
a particular plan was reached, Vice Mayor Fraser asked the Council to focus instead on what the
top priorities (features) were.
These were identified as: 1) an 110,000 -square foot playing field that is 2) sand based; with 3)
options for type of grass -- Paspalum (which can use recycled water) or Bermuda (which would need
potable water for irrigation); and 4) upgraded drainage.
There was no motion, but direction was given to staff to move forward with the preparation of a
design contract for McKegney Green that would include these elements.
Staff was also directed to ask the consultant to do more definitive research into Paspalum and its
viability in this location.
Mayor Tollini continued to press for a [public/private] funding plan before any further action on
the project is taken.
Town Manager Chanis said that staff could provide a cost estimate of a project that would
include the above criteria, as well as request a proposal [contract] to design the project.
Councilmember Fredericks asked how much the design costs would be. The Town Manager
noted it would was included as part of the "soft costs" listed on the matrix; for example, he said
plan 1 soft costs were estimated at $52,000 and Plan 2 at $91,000. He suggested the design cost
would be somewhere between those two figures. Councilmember O'Donnell expressed concern
over having to spend so much on design costs.
Mayor Tollini asked for and received Council consensus to move forward to the design phase.

PUBLIC HEARING
1. Marin Municipal Water District (MMWD) Water Efficient Landscaping — Amend
Title IV, Chapter 13E (Water Efficient Landscape) of the Tiburon Municipal Code to adopt
by reference the most current MMWD ordinance regarding water -efficient landscapes
and water conservation (Community Development Department) — Introduction and
first reading of ordinance
In her report, Associate Planner O'Malley said the Town initially adopted a Water Conservation
chapter of its Municipal Code in 1990, focusing primarily on landscape requirements, and had
revised them again in 2010 and 2011 to meet new and stronger provisions adopted by MMWD.
She said in late 2015, MMWD adopted new water conservation requirements to meet new and
more stringent State standards. She said the proposal before the Council would amend the
current Town regulations with respect to Water Efficient Landscaping and adopt by reference the
revised MMWD regulations (Ordinance No. 430), and successors and amendments thereto.
O'Malley said the primary changes to the latest MMWD regulations (as they affect the Town) are
1) increased water efficiency standards for new and retrofitted landscapes through more efficient
irrigation systems; 2) graywater usage; and 3) limitation on turf and high -water -use plants.
She said the requirements would apply only if a design review approval or a building permit is
required from the Town in association with the work. O'Malley said the Town's processing
procedures will remain the same.
With regard to enforcement, O'Malley said the Town's ordinance would continue to designate
MMWD to implement, enforce, and monitor the requirements of the ordinance, as permitted
under state law. According to the Associate Planner, adoption by reference of MMWD
regulations is the same approach used by the other municipalities in the MMWD service area (all
Marin cities except Novato), and has the benefit of providing uniformity of application and
consistent standards, while at the same time meeting stringent state requirements for water
conservation.
She said staff has preliminarily determined that the subject application is categorically exempt
from the requirements of CEQA per Section 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines and is also exempt
under the general rule set forth in Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Ms. O'Malley recommended that the Town Council hold first reading of the ordinance at
tonight's meeting. She went on to explain that because the Town is adopting another agency's
regulations by reference, the procedure set forth in state law is slightly different than is typical for
adoption of local ordinances, that is, a first and second reading is required of the ordinance. She
recommended that the Town Council conduct a public hearing, introduce and hold first reading
of the proposed ordinance, and if passed, continue the item for a second public hearing and
adoption at the June 1, 2016 regular meeting.

Vice Mayor Fraser asked about "the bouncing ball" effect when an applicant has to apply to
multiple agencies for permits. He described a scenario whereby an applicant for a new house
might gain approval of a Landscape Plan from the Town that might be rejected by MMWD. He
asked whether the applicant would have to go back to the Town's Design Review Board (DRB)
for a second time, and if so, could fees be waived.
Associate Planner O'Malley said in most cases, staff recommends to applicants that they first
seek MMWD advice and compliance with landscape plans. She said Town staff routes plans to
MMWD first before they are reviewed by the DRB. The applicant then goes back to MMWD for
a sign -off during the building permit process.
Director of Community Development Anderson agreed that the potential for a "bouncing ball"
effect had been around since 2010 and admitted that agencies are still "catching up", especially
as the regulations get tougher. However, he said he cannot recall ever having seen the "bouncing
ball" effect locally and said Town staff is on the lookout for these kinds of issues.
In addressing the fee question, Anderson said there was a minimal fee requirement now, but said
the Town could process a fee waiver request as a matter of policy.
Councilmember O'Donnell related his experience of MMWD and Fire District conflicting
regulations when he installed landscaping at his new home. Anderson said staff had witnessed
this, as well, but said that in his opinion, progress was being made as the agencies work more

Councilmember Doyle reported on a meeting with representatives from Tiburon, Mill Valley and
Caltrans regarding mitigation measures to ease traffic at the Tiburon/Mill Valley/Highway 101
interchange. He said the lights on the overpass could be timed for a more continuous flow and "No
U Turn" signs at been installed at North Knoll Road and another location. He said Mill Valley also
was talking to Caltrans about installing a third lane for the 101 off -ramp [southbound]. Doyle said
Mill Valley suggested that Tiburon might contribute to this project. He also commented that three
lanes would not address the traffic build-up on East Blithedale Road due to the reduction to one lane
in the vicinity of the shopping center.

Diane,
I just wanted to send a short note in support of the upcoming Beer Festival.
I had a lot of fun at the 2 previous festivals. It's a wonderful early Fall event. I was particularly surprised by the large
percentage of Tiburon and Belvedere people attending.
This is in sharp contrast to the very few local people I saw yesterday at the Wine Festival.
I hope that the Beer Festival can continue as a permanent part of Tiburon's future.
Thanks,

Re: Shoreline Park. Tiburon Taps Beer Festival.
Dear Madam Mayor Tollini and Town Council Members.
MAY 1 20io
PLANNING DIVISION
I am a neighbor and owner of a unit at Point Tiburon Bayside Condominium Association
and I would like you to consider, in relation to the announced attempted location of the
Beer Festival at Shoreline Park, the following observations to this event if carried out at
this place..
1) Undesirable location. The event, directly in front of residential units constitutes a
significant disruption and annoyance to the residents, due to noise, number of
people, crowd, transiting the area and the significant risk of dealing with of
people that could become intoxicated. I have observed that the portable toilets are
planning to be installed directly in front of the grass area adjacent and close to the
building complex. I personally perceive these situations as promoters of a "break
of peace" and an abuse to neighbors of a high-density residential area.
2) Crowd control psychology. In a crowd situation with a limited space around a
residential area, it is difficult to differentiate the good and the undesirable
attendees, the intoxicated and the sober, the predators and the victims, and deal
with quarrels between intoxicated people. This aspect is not compatible with the
usual and customary peaceful and friendly atmosphere prevailing every day in
this beautiful area, which profoundly serves to the enjoyment of Tiburon
neighbors and tourists.
3) Loud music. This advertised aspect also constitutes an annoyance and an abuse to
the neighbors residing in front of the event who are entitled to an enjoyable and
quiet environment.
4) Legal considerations. As I understand, there are limitations and conditions
imposed in the original Agreement between the Town and the Association in
terms of use of the Shoreline Park. If the event takes place at the Shoreline Park
this may result in an unnecessary and avoidable costly litigation.
Thank you for taking consideration of my opinions in the resolution of this matter.
Respectfully submitted.

Sp . ial Event Permit Application: Tiburon Taps Beer Festival
j'Y.
BACKGROUND
The Town Council heard a presentation by The Ranch at its April 20 regular meeting regarding a
special event permit application to stage the Tiburon Taps Beer Festival at Shoreline Park on
September 24, 2016. The festival is in its third year and was previously staged at Point Tiburon
Plaza. In its report to the Council, The Ranch proposed to relocate the event to Shoreline Park.
The festival hours as stated in the permit are 1 until 5 p.m., with set-up beginning early in the day.
As part of the application, the Council was also asked to approve a road closure between the
Paradise Drive traffic circle and the Donahue Building for the event. The Ranch proposed a
detour that would re-route traffic up Beach Road and along Mar West Street.
The Council heard public testimony from residents of Point Tiburon Bayside Homeowner's
Association. The speakers described what they perceive to be the negative impacts to the
neighborhood of staging the event at Shoreline Park. There was also public testimony expressing
concern about the proposed detour, as a portion of Mar West Street is essentially one -lane due to
existing construction in the area.
Since the April 20 meeting, the Town has received correspondence concerning the location of the
festival which is attached to the staff report.
While the Council acknowledged that the proposed permit is consistent with the Town's
Shoreline Park Event Policy, it nevertheless requested that The Ranch study a possible alternative
location. Ark Row was the location suggested by two members of the Council during the April
20 meeting. The Council asked that The Ranch staff report back with information about the
possibility of staging the festival in that location, before making a final determination on approval
of the permit.
Cathleen Andreucci, The Ranch Executive Director, has provided a written update on the
proposal and will present it at tonight's Council meeting.

Re: Tiburon Taps Beer Festival - Revised Proposal
To: Tiburon Council
From: Cathleen Andreucci
I am submitting a revised proposal for the Tiburon Taps Beer Festival in response to the Councils request
to consider alternative locations and the Pt Tiburon Residents objections to the Beer Festival.
Alternative Locations
• We looked at ARK Row as a potential location for the festival and determined that this is not a
good site for the festival. It would involve closing the street yet leaving the sidewalk open for
the stores on the street. There would need to be a fence along the edge of the sidewalk to
enclose the area. This would impact the ARK Row merchants negatively as they would lose their
street parking without gaining foot traffic. Additionally, that area fenced for the festival would
be too narrow to allow for tables, seating, the band and the attendees. I asked Mrs. Zelinsky her
opinion on having the festival on ARK row and her response was in agreement with our
determination that this is not a good site for this festival.
• Main Street would have the same issues as ARK Row - the festival would be fenced down the
middle of the street blocking foot traffic to stores and restaurants.
• Blackies Pasture is already reserved and so not available. We have changed the date once
already to accommodate the Tiburon Mile and to not burden Pt Tiburon residents with two
events on the same weekend. Blackies is far from downtown and would eliminate participants
arriving on the ferry and any business or exposure for Main Street merchants the festival brings
in its current downtown location.
• There is always a request to find an alternative location because as much as people enjoy
community events, no one wants them in their backyard.
Revisions to the layout to minimize the impact on Pt Tiburon Residents
• We have cut the footprint of the festival to half its original size.
• We will limit the breweries to 30 and the food tastings to 10.
• We have requested the portable toilets and dumpsters be dropped off and picked up on the day
of the event.
• We will hire a team to clean the area after the festival.
• In addition to the security team we have hired in the past, we will hire a police officer to
effectively deal with any problem that might occur.
• We placed the band in a location furthest from the condos with speakers facing away from the
condos.
In response to objections from Pt Tiburon about the festival in general
• This will be the third year and there is no history of bad behavior or issues from the attendees
associated with this event.
• Paradise Drive is closed for the Car Show and the detour works fine.
• People pay to participate in the Tiburon Mile which is a long running event at Shoreline Park.
• The Beer Festival is very much a recreational event as is the Wine Festival and many people who
live in town attend and enjoy these events.
• There are very strict restrictions in place regarding the use of Shoreline Park. More so than any
other park in town. The community can only use the park five times a year for events to protect
the lifestyle of the condo residents. Only three events are currently approved and this event is
within the requirements outlined in that agreement.
Bring Business to Downtown
• The Town is working hard to bring more people to Tiburon and this event helps accomplish that
goal. I know many participants stay after the festival as Sam's Anchor Cafe hires our security
team to go with the crowd to their restaurant. Additionally, out of town participants are
exposed to the beautiful views and charming downtown and some will add Tiburon as a future
destination.
Special Events and The Ranch
• We do not receive tax dollars to support our programs or the maintenance of Dairy Knoll. We
have been successful in managing this in part because of our Special Events. This event is our
largest fund raising event making us $13,000 last year. We need that income to offer
scholarships and aid to seniors and children in the community who can't afford our programs.
• We are tasked with bringing recreation to all the citizens of Tiburon and Belvedere. Special
Events are a key element to building community yet as wonderful as they are they have a
degree of negative impact as well.
• There are a very limited number of parks available to host events in Tiburon or Belvedere. All of
them are surrounded by residential neighborhoods. Whenever we plan an event, there is
always a local group asking us to move the event elsewhere. For example, we are trying to host
the free community event at Halloween that the Tiburon Council approved last month. It was
planned to end with a movie in the Belvedere Community Park. The residents living next to the
park are objecting to the potential noise after dark. They have requested we end with the
movie at Shoreline Park. When planning events we spend considerable time choosing the best
location for that event and we try to spread the impact around throughout the year.

Re: Shoreline Park/ Subdivision Improvement Agreement
Dear Madam Mayor Tollini and Town Council Members:
I am an attorney currently practicing in the City of Sausalito and I do not represent any
party with an interest in the subject property. However, on and before February, 1984, and
thereafter, I represented the owner and developer of the project known as the Point Tiburon
Condominiums which included the area known as "Shoreline Park." In that capacity I was
intimately involved in the documents governing the project, including the Subdivision
Improvement Agreement and the dedication documents for portions of Beach Road, Paradise
Drive, Mar West Street and the area known as "Shoreline Park." The negotiations of those
documents were lengthy, intense and public and required many hearings before the City Council
and Planning Department.
I have very recently been informed that the Town is now in the process of approving the
use of Shoreline Park for the Tiburon Taps Beer Festival to be held on September 24, 2016. I
believe that such approval and use would be improper and in violation of the Subdivision
Improvement Agreement for the project and of the dedication documents themselves. These
documents very clearly state that Shoreline Park, after dedication, is to be used and maintained
for public purposes only, including recreational and open space uses.
I do not understand how a beer festival which involves construction of a fence, a
significant admission charge and exclusion of minors and non-paying members of the public can
be deemed a public purpose. The fact that it is to continue for one day only no more makes it
public than if it lasted for a week or a month or some other time period. The whole point of the
fence and the admission charge is to restrict its use, just as a private party on the site would be a
private, non-public use. Fences are used to exclude the public. As a member of the "public" I
seriously hope you do not wish to risk reversion of title to the property to the Bayside
Condominium Association for its private uses.

I am writing to you on behalf of my client, the Point Tiburon Bayside Condominium
Association. The directors and perhaps other residents have made their opinions known to
the Town. The purpose of this letter is to once again remind the Town of the Association's
legal rights with respect to Shoreline Park.
As you know a Subdivision Improvement Agreement dated February 15, 1984 ("the
Agreement") was entered into between the developer of the project and the Town of Tiburon.
The Agreement was recorded and is enforceable. It limits and restricts the Town's use of
Shoreline Park. Specifically, the land was dedicated by the developer to the Town ".... only so
long as the dedicated property is used for the public purpose for which it was dedicated (i.e.,
recreational, open space, historical)."
If
Ragghianti I Freitas LLP
Page 2 of 3
The Tiburon Taps Beer Festival to be held at Shoreline Park on Saturday, September
24, 2016, is not in compliance with the Agreement. The Beer Festival is not an open space
use nor is it an historical event.
It is not a "public" use as that term was used in the Agreement because it is fenced
off, is age restricted, and certainly, in its affect, income restricted. It is not a "recreational
use" as that term is used in the Agreement, as that use can only be understood in the
dedication agreement at issue as use as a public park for walking, scenic vistas, riding bikes,
picnicking, etc.
When directors Hank McWhinney and Rod Thompson recently provided input to the
Town on the 2015 Shoreline Park Special Events Policy, they thought it was a very productive
give and take. All present noted the swim and auto show as the type of events that were
suitable for the public recreational purposes of the Park. They specifically mentioned the beer
festival as an example of what would not be suitable given the nature of the event and past
experience with the nuisance that was created.
Importantly, the2015 Shoreline Park Special Events Policy provides that event
approval "... must be consistent with the Park's dedicating documents," that is, the
Agreement. That Policy also provides that any special event be compatible with "the
surrounding area and avoid disruption of the customary use of the Park."
The permit application indicates that there will be a line of a dozen beer tents lined up
on the entire length of Paradise drive, directly opposite the Point Tiburon homes. The band is
set up at the closet point to the property, nearly opposite the pool. Some of the homes are 15
yards from where the beer tents will be located. The street will be closed. The event will be
fenced off to the general public and thus Shoreline Park will not be not available for its
customary public recreational use.
"Bottomless beer tasting" is promised by the promotional material; it is thus not even
a beer "tasting" event, which might carry with it some restraint in the amount consumed. The
fact that the event requires that police be on duty is by definition an event the Board feels
strongly should not be located near residences and is not compatible with surrounding uses.
Apparently the owner of the Plaza, the Festival's previous location, has objected to the
event being held there this year because of the mess and disruption it caused in the past. The
Board of Directors for the Association has experience with the Festival when it was held at the
Plaza — none of it was positive.
INF
Ragghianti I Freitas LLP
Page 3 of 3
In sum, while the Association does not expect to have to resort to legal means to
enforce its rights pursuant to Agreement, it has authorized me to write this letter to remind
the Town and all involved of the Point Tiburon Bayside Condominium Association's
important interest and its position on this matter.

Special Event Permit Applications: Tiburon Taps Beer Festival (Shoreline
Park) id Trick or Treat Trail (Main Street/Ark Row)
BACKGROUND
The Ranch has submitted special event permit applications for two events this Fall; one proposes
to be staged on Shoreline Park and the other on Main Street and Ark Row.
The first event application is for the Tiburon Taps Beer Festival, currently in its third year. It is
scheduled for Saturday, September 24, 2016. The Ranch has requested a change of venue from
its first two years of operation, from Point Tiburon Plaza to Shoreline Park. Staff notes the
proposed event will occur on the same day as "Blackie's Hay Day" which takes place at
Blackie's Pasture.
The second permit application is for a new event Downtown, a "Trick or Treat Trail" along
Main Street and Ark Row on Saturday night, October 22, 2016. The event will culminate in
Belvedere Park with a family movie night in that location.
Both applications are requesting street closure and other special considerations more fully
detailed below.
ANALYSIS — Tiburon Taps Beer Festival
Special events in Tiburon are governed by the Town's Special Event Permit Policy which states
that ..."events to be held on public property shall be limited in scope to activities which do not
detrimentally impact the community. The Town Manager will evaluate the potential impacts of a
proposed event. Factors shall include, without limitation, the following:
1 Impacts on Noise
2. Impacts on Traffic
3. Impacts on Parking
4. Impacts on the General Environment"
Additionally, special events in the Shoreline Park area are governed by the Town's Shoreline
Park Policy, most recently revised in 2015. This policy limits the number of events in the area to
five (5) per year. The Tiburon Taps Beer Festival is the third known event on file for this
TOWN OF TIBURON PAGE 1 OF 4
Town Council v1L:eting
.April 20. 2016
calendar year, the others being the annual Classic Car Show (Father's Day weekend in June) and
the RCP Mile Open Water Swim (scheduled for Sunday, September 11).
Noise
Chapter 25-1 of the Town Code requires that any amplified music and/or voice amplification in a
non-residential zone be approved in writing by the Town Manager. The Shoreline Park Policy
further states that "any voice or music amplification in Shoreline Park should be kept to a
reasonable volume."
The Ranch proposes having a live band (The Mustache Harbor Live Band) perform from 1 to 5
p.m., with sounds checks beginning around 11 a.m. The music would coincide with the hours of
operation for the festival.
The band would be staged on Paradise Drive facing toward the Bay, about mid -way between the
traffic circle and the Donahue Building.
Traffic
As noted, both permits are requesting street closure. The Tiburon Taps Beer Festival requests
closure of Paradise Drive from the turnaround at Ferry Plaza to the parking lot across from
Sanitary District No. 5. A detour is requested starting at Beach Road, and will direct traffic to
travel along Mar West Street to the other side of the festival. The permit requests use of the
Town's electronic sign to notify residents of the upcoming detour.
Parking
Parking will be reserved for beer vendors at the CVS parking lot. The public would be required
to find their own parking, possibly at the Lyford Drive lot, and other parking lots downtown
(CVS, Bank of America, etc.). Some attendees will no doubt be residents of Tiburon or
Belvedere, and they may be able to walk or bike to the event. It is also anticipated that many of
the participants will come by ferry from San Francisco, similar to the Wine Festival.
Hours of Operation
The Tiburon Taps proposed hours of operation are from 1 to 5 p.m. Set-up will start much earlier
in the day, to coincide with street closure at 7 a.m. The Shoreline Park Policy limits the hours of
operation of an event to the hours of 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, although it
allows the discretion of the Town Manager to accommodate logistical needs that vary from this,
in some instances. Staff recommends that the applicant be directed to try to achieve its set-up and
tear -down functions within the parameters of Town policy (i.e. to comply with the 8 a.m. start
time).
Open to the Public
The Town does not allow use of public spaces for private groups or organizations wishing to
stage events that are not open to the public. Tiburon Taps is an event that is open to the public
with the purchase of a ticket.

Financial Impact
In its permit application, The Ranch has requested assistance from the Town's Public Works
Department that includes delivery and pick-up of barricades before and after the event, use and
placement of the Town's electronic sign board, and use of 15 garbage cans and liners. Staff is
also working with the Ranch to determine what level of Police presence is appropriate.
General Environment
Staff does not anticipate any other environmental impacts from the event.
Cathleen Andreucci, The Ranch Executive Director, will be available at the Council meeting to
answer questions about both events.
ANALYSIS — Trick or Treat Trail
Noise
There is no musical entertainment scheduled for the Tiburon portion of this event. The permit
applications states that amplification will be used in Belvedere Park only (for the movie night
portion of the event).
Traffic
Traffic will be impacted in the area due to requested street closure from 5:30 — 9 p.m. The
requested area of street closure is from the start of Main Street to the last shop on Ark Row.
Trick or treating will take place from 6 — 8 p.m. Merchants will be notified of the event and the
Chamber of Commerce has heard a proposal about the event at its March board meeting.
Parking
Parking will be available in downtown lots.
Hours of Operation
The Trick or Treat Trail is scheduled for Saturday2 evening, between 6 and 10 p.m. (8 p.m. in
Tiburon). As noted above, Main Street will be closed at 5:30 p.m.
Open to the Public
The event is designed with families and children in mind, and will be open to the public.
Financial Impact
In its permit application, The Ranch has requested assistance from the Town's Public Works
Department that includes delivery and pick-up of barricades before and after the event and use of
garbage cans and liners.
General Environment
The Trick or Treat Trail application indicates that Ranch staff will follow the trick or treaters,
cleaning up the street as they go. It also indicates that staff will monitor garbage and empty as
needed, by taking to town or city dumpsters.
Staff does not anticipate any other environmental impacts from the event.

TOWN OF TIBURON
Town Council Policy & Procedure
Number: 8
Effective: March, 17, 2004 (Revised 07/15/2015)
Authority: Town Council / Town Manager
USE OF SHORELINE PARK - SPECIAL EVENTS
PURPOSE AND INTENT
The Town Council establishes this "Use of Shoreline Park — Special Events" policy
(hereinafter "Policy") for the Town of Tiburon in accordance with the provisions of
the Tiburon Municipal Code and State Law.
This Policy defines special events and specifies requirements and procedures for their
approval in Shoreline Park. Shoreline Park was dedicated to the Town for "public,
scenic, open space and public access" purposes and is customarily used as a visual and
primarily passive recreational amenity for Town residents and visitors. A majority of
the Park's land area is under water; the dry land portion consists of a narrow strip of
bay front property with a paved walking path terminating at Ferry Plaza (see attached
graphic). It lies directly in the San Francisco Bay view corridor of nearby residences
and adjoining Paradise Drive, and is therefore highly sensitive from a visual and view
blockage standpoint; the dedication to the Town is subject to conditions protecting the
views from the Bayside units at Point Tiburon. The Park is popular with both
residents and visitors for walking, viewing, picnicking and jogging. The Ferry Plaza
portion of the Park also provides important public access to the Main Street waterfront
and ferry services.
The Town Council establishes these requirements and procedures for occasional
special events in Shoreline Park to protect the visual and recreational qualities of the
Park and to preserve it primarily for its customary use. This Policy is intended to
ensure that the temporary operation of each permitted special event at Shoreline Park
is compatible with the adjacent neighborhood, downtown business district, residents,
and visitors.
POLICY
The Town receives periodic requests to allow events, activities, and occasional
temporary structures in Shoreline Park. The Town has an interest in occasionally
allowing certain types of conditionally allowable events or activities in the Park on a
short-term basis, which may temporarily deviate from the customary use of the Park.
However, the frequency and nature of these events must be limited to protect the
primary purposes, appearance, and on-going popular use of the Park.
Use of Shoreline Park ---Special Events
Revised 7/15/2015 1
SPECIAL EVENTS AT SHORELINE PARK
For the purpose of this Policy, "special event" means a short-term activity use or
limited duration art exhibition use of the Park other than its customary use. The Town
Manager shall have the discretion to determine whether an event of a limited amount
of time qualifies as a "special event" that is subject to the Special Events Permit Policy
referenced below.
All special events on Town property are subject to the Town's Special Events Permit
Policy, which enables the Town, consistent with the Park's dedicating documents, to
establish the parameters for each special event and the obligations of the permit
holder. To ensure reasonable compatibility with the surrounding area and avoid
disruption of the customary use of the Park, any special event in Shoreline Park must
comply with the following additional requirements:
1. The Town anticipates limiting the number of events to five (5) permitted
special events per calendar year.
2. Special events are limited to Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and legal Town
Holidays. Legal Town Holidays are New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr.
Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day; excepting art exhibition events that
may, with Town Council permission, have a maximum 45 -day duration
including set-up and take-down.
3. The activities of the special event are restricted to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to one
hour after sunset Sunday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on
Fridays and Saturdays. At no more than three (3) Friday or Saturday events per
year shall amplification of sound be allowed until 10 p.m.
EXCEPTIONS
The Town Manager may allow some latitude with respect to provisions of the Special
Events Permit Policy and this Policy in order to facilitate activities such as set up, the
staging of equipment and the hours of operation. The discretion allowed by this
Policy shall be confined to logistical and other considerations necessary to further the
following critical purposes:
1. Protect the Park and improvements therein.
2. Ensure public safety and access.
3. Avoid unauthorized or extended obstruction of views of the bay.
4. Avoid noise disruption of nearby residential neighborhoods after 8 pm on
Sunday through Thursday or after 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
The Town Council, at a public meeting, may grant Exceptions to this Policy as it
deems warranted.
Use of Shoreline Park ---Special Events
Revised 7/15/2015 2
TEMPORARY STRUCTURES
Temporary structures (excluding art exhibition pieces) may be in place no longer than
seventy-two (72) consecutive hours. The Town Engineer/Director of Public Works
shall ensure that temporary structures shall be located, installed and secured in a
manner that will not damage Park improvements, and will not create a public hazard
or public nuisance. No automobiles or trucks will be allowed to park on Ferry Plaza,
other than for the purposes of loading or unloading items pertaining to the event and
subject to the approval of the Superintendent of Public Works, Director of Public
Works, or Town Manager.
ART EXHIBIT PLACEMENT
Exhibits of art that will be on display for more than seventy-two (72) consecutive
hours shall generally be limited to the western third of Shoreline Park.
MUSIC AND VOICE AMPLIFICATION
Chapter 25-1 of the Municipal Code requires that any amplified music and/or voice
amplification in a non-residential zone be approved in writing by the Town Manager.
Any voice or music amplification in Shoreline Park should be kept to a reasonable
volume.
ROADWAY CLOSURE
No roadway closures will be permitted in this area without prior approval from the
Town Manager.

TOWN OF TIBURON
Town Council Policy & Procedure
Number: 7
Effective: April 17, 2002
Authority: Town Council/Town Manager
PURPOSE AND INTENT:
This Town Council policy establishes the "Special Events Permit Policy" for the Town of
Tiburon in accordance with the provisions of the Tiburon Municipal Code and State Law.
This policy defines special events and specifies requirements and procedures for their approval.
The Council has established these requirements and procedures for special events to ensure the
general safety, health, and welfare of the community and to ensure that the temporary operation
of each special event will be compatible with the neighborhood or area in which it is located.
POLICY:
State and Town law regulate the use of real property in the Town. Generally, these laws establish
both the structures that may be constructed on land and the activities that may be conducted thereon.
The Town receives numerous requests to allow activities, and occasionally structures, on a "short
term" basis. The Town has an interest in allowing certain types of conditionally allowed uses on a
short term basis. Some of these types of uses may allow private individuals, businesses, or not-for-
profit organizations to hold special events which may temporarily alter the character of a particular
area.
Permit Requirement
No person shall conduct a special event on public proprety unless such person first obtains, and
continues to maintain in full force and effect, a special event permit for such special event.
2002 Special Events Permit Policy updated in 2011 Page 1 of 9
For purposes of this policy, "special event" means a short-term activity or other use of public
property other than the customary use of the property. Special events may include weddings,
carnivals, live music concerts, outdoor dining, street fairs, and athletic activities such as marathons,
swimming events, and organized "walk-a-thons."
Also, for purposes of this policy, the term "short term" shall mean either of the following:
• Events on public property, up to, but not exceeding 48 hours
Events to be held on public property shall be limited in scope to activities which do not detrimentally
impact the community. The Town Manager will evaluate the potential impacts of a proposed event.
Factors shall include, without limitation, the following:
1. Impacts on Noise
2. Impacts on Traffic
3. Impacts on Parking
4. Impacts on the General Environment
The Town Manager will not consider as a factor the content of any constitutionally protected speech
at the event, unless there is a threat of immediate harm to persons or property.
Events held in Town parks or open space
The Town has, in the past, adopted policies governing the use by the general public of its parks and
open space. A list of Town parks and open space areas and policies are incorporated herein as
Exhibit "A." These policies are in effect for the regular, non -"special event" use of the affected
areas. Such uses do not require a special event permit under this Town Council policy.
NOTE: Since the adoption of this policy in 2002, a separate, Town Council policy has been adopted
governing special events in Shoreline Park. Please request a copy of this policy from Town Staff.
2002 Special Events Permit Policy updated in 2011 Page 2 of 9

Co sideration of Extending Mill Valley Refuse Service Franchise
re pent from July 1, 2021— July 1, 2026
BACKGROUND
The Town of Tiburon has had an exclusive franchise agreement for solid waste collection with
Mill Valley Refuse Service (MVRS) since 1965. The current franchise agreement was the
culmination of over a year's negotiation and review by Town staff and a Town Council sub-
committee. The Agreement was approved by Council on June 15, 2011, with an effective date of
July 1, 2011. The initial term of the Agreement was for ten years, and it provides for two
optional five year extension periods. These extensions will occur automatically, unless the Town
Council chooses not to extend the Agreement. The deadline for the Council to consider the first
five-year extension period is June 30, 2016. If Council determines it does not wish to exercise its
option for the first five year extension period, it must provide written notice to MVRS by June
30, 2016. This would result in the Agreement terminating on June 30, 2021. Should the Council
determine it does wish to exercise its option for first five year extension period, it will have an
opportunity to consider the second five year extension by June 30, 2021.
ANALYSIS
The Town has enjoyed a good relationship with MVRS, with the latter providing competitive
rates and a willingness to adapt to the Town's evolving needs and resident preferences. MVRS is
responsive to requests of individual citizens and Town staff relating to all aspects of its refuse
collection services. The current Agreement is five years old and was the result of significant
hours of staff, contract attorney, and Council time to negotiate. Other than concerns with annual
rate increase requests, the Agreement appears to be working well in providing this vital service to
Town residents and businesses.
This purpose of this item is to provide Council the opportunity to exercise its rights under the
Agreement in a timely manner should it have significant concerns with any portion of the current
Agreement with MVRS. Although no formal action is required if Council is satisfied with the
current Agreement and wishes to allow the first five year extension period to proceed, it may
choose to acknowledge this decision through a motion. However, if Council determines it does
not wish the first five year extension period to proceed, Council should direct staff to deliver a
Notice of Non -Extension as required by the Agreement.
Town Council Mcc ing
May 1S, 201.6
Staff discussed the contract extension deadline with the Town Council Budget Committee
(Mayor Tollini and Councilmember O'Donnell) in March, and they did not indicate any
compelling reason to terminate the current Franchise Agreement with MYRS.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Should Council determine it does not wish to exercise its option for the first five year extension,
there will be a financial impact in approximately 3-4 years as the Town will need to devote staff
hours and hire professional consultants to assist in preparing a new Request for Proposal for
refuse collection services and ultimately negotiate a new contract. It is difficult to quantify at this
time the amount of that impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This item does not meet the definition of a project under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
Receive the Staff Report, and if Council determines it does not wish to allow the first five
year extension to proceed, direct staff to deliver a Notice of Non -Extension as provided in
the Agreement.

STAFF REPORT

Subject:
Reviewed By:
Mayor and Members of the Town Council
Office of the Town Manager (Mayor Tollini)
A proval of Professional Services Agreement to provide management of
p posed Farmers Market, and authorization of Main Street closures to
a olrmodate proposed Farmers Market.
BACKGROUND
In Fiscal Year 2015-2016, the Town provided funding for, and launched `Summertime on Main'.
This event, which occurred on four Wednesday's in July and August, consisted of entertainment
and activities geared toward attracting families and other visitors to Downtown Tiburon during
mid-day hours. In early 2016, Mayor Tollini, along with Vice Mayor Fraser convened a diverse
group of individuals, including Town staff, staff from The Ranch, local merchants and
representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, to assess the effectiveness of Summertime on
Main and to plan for the upcoming Summer season. After a series of meetings, and additional
outreach to local merchants, the group began exploring the possibility of developing a weekly
Farmers Market in downtown Tiburon as an alternative to Summertime on Main. After
consulting with several groups experienced in organizing and managing these types of markets,
the group is proposing to partner with Agricultural Community Events Farmers' Markets
(ACEFM) to bring a farmers market to Downtown Tiburon.
ANALYSIS
ACEFM is a 501c(5) nonprofit that creates farmers' markets, bringing communities together
through agriculture and agricultural related products since 2010. The objective of this proposal is
to bring a vibrant farmers' market with a combination of fruit, vegetables, local cheese, packaged
foods, bakery goods, hot prepared foods, artisans, and live music to Downtown Tiburon. The
proposed Farmers' Market would take place every Thursday, and is tentatively scheduled to run
from 1pm-7pm, starting June 16th and running through October 27th, for a total of 20 weeks.
The proposed market would utilize Main Street and portions of Fountain Plaza, as shown in the
attached proposal. Hot Food booths and artisans will be near the fountain, inviting the community
into Main Street, where produce and packaged food vendors will be located. These vendors will
be arranged in a way as to not block store fronts. The proposed market time of 1-7p.m. is
tentative, and may be adjusted as the logistical details of the market are finalized. Regardless of
the final schedule, the proposed market will require the closure of Main Street 1.5 hours prior to
the scheduled start time and for approximately 1 hour after the scheduled end time. This is to
allow for the orderly set up and breakdown of the market.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Attached to this staff report, is a proposed Professional Services Agreement with ACEFM in the
amount of $10,000. Under the terms of the proposed agreement, ACEFM would be responsible
for the following:
• Hiring and training all personnel, entertainment, and labor
• Coordinating street closures and weekly event cleanup with the TOWN'S Public Works
• Recruiting and scheduling vendors and entertainment
• Tracking financial data including revenue and expenditures for the event and providing
that information to the TOWN at the end of the season or as per requested by the TOWN
• Meeting State and County certification requirements and reporting
• Paying all expenses related to MARKET
• Advertising/Marketing the MARKET, including, but not limited to:
o Postcards and posters
o Social media advertising, including a Tiburon Community Farmers' Market
Facebook page, and advertisements on Nextdoor
o Contacting local media, tourism organizations, and chambers of commerce with
requests for promotion
o Placing advertisements in local newspapers.
In addition to the $10,000, ACEFM is requesting an additional $2,000 to be used for providing
entertainment (musicians) at the Farmers Market. Funding for the event would come from both
the Fiscal Year 2015-16 (current) Budget, and Fiscal Year 2016-17 Budget. In the current Fiscal
Year, $20,000 was allocated for Summertime on Main. Currently, there are sufficient
unexpended funds to cover the cost of the anticipated expenses we will incur prior to the end of
the Fiscal Year. For the 2016-17 Fiscal Year, we have included a similar allocation for these
types of activities.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This item does not meet the definition of a project under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
1. Receive the Staff Report
2. Authorize the closure of Main Street as proposed
3. Approve as to form the attached "Professional Services Agreement between the Town of
Tiburon and Agricultural Community Events Farmers Markets to provide operation and
management services for the Farmers Market"
4. Authorize the Town Manager to approve minor modifications to the Agreement and
execute the Agreement when he feels it is appropriate.
