TOWN OF TIBURON LATE MAIL POLICY
(Adopted and Effective 11/7/2007)
The following policy shall be used by the Town Council and its standing boards and commissions, and by
staff of the Town of Tiburon, in the identification, distribution and consideration of late mail.
DEFINITION
"Late Mail" is defined as correspondence or other materials that are received by the Town after
completion of the written staff report on an agenda item, in such a manner as to preclude such
correspondence or other materials from being addressed in or attached to the staff report as an exhibit.
IDENTIFICATION OF LATE MAIL
All late mail received by Town Staff in advance of a meeting shall be marked "Late Mail" and shall be
date-stamped or marked with the date of receipt by the Town. Late mail received at a meeting shall be
marked as "Received at Meeting" with a date -stamp or handwritten note.
POLICY
For regular meetings of the Town Council and its standing boards and commissions:
(1) All late mail that is received on an agenda item prior to distribution of the agenda packet to the
reviewing authority shall be stamped or marked as "Late Mail" and shall be distributed to the
reviewing authority with the agenda packet.
(2) All late mail received on an agenda item before 5:00 PM on the Monday prior to the meeting
shall be date-stamped and marked as "Late Mail" and distributed to the reviewing authority as
soon as practicable. Such mail shall be read and considered by the reviewing authority whenever
possible. If the Monday, or Monday and Tuesday, prior to the meeting are a Town -recognized
holiday, the deadline shall be extended to the following day at Noon.
(3) Any late mail received on an agenda item after the deadline established in paragraph (2) above
shall be date-stamped, marked as "Late Mail" and distributed to the reviewing authority as soon
as reasonably possible, but may not be read or considered by the reviewing authority. There
should be no expectation of, nor shall the reviewing authority have any obligation to, read or
consider any such late mail, and therefore such late mail may not become part of the
administrative record for the item before the reviewing authority.
These provisions shall also apply to special and adjourned meetings when sufficient lead time exists to
implement these provisions. If sufficient lead time does not exist, the Town Manager shall exercise
discretion in establishing a reasonable cut-off time for late mail. For controversial items or at any
meeting where a high volume of correspondence is anticipated, Town staff shall have the option to
require an earlier Iate mail deadline, provided that the written public notice for any such item clearly
communicates the specifics of the early late mail deadline, and the deadline corresponds appropriately to
any earlier availability of the agenda packet.
Pursuant to state law, copies of all late mail shall be available in a timely fashion for public
inspection at Tiburon Town Hall, 1505 Tiburon Boulevard, Tiburon.

I would like to cordially invite you to an exciting event hosted by the Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) on June 1, 2016. Berkeley Lab's popular "Science at the Theater" will travel across
the Bay to San Francisco's Marines' Memorial Theatre for its first Cleantech Pitchfest, where six Berkeley
Lab scientists have eight minutes each to persuade you that their technology has the most promise and
social value.
Co-sponsored by the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce, this free event will be held on:
Wednesday, June 1, from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Marine's Memorial Theatre
609 Sutter Street (at Mason) in San Francisco
Event registration: friends.lbl.gov
Join Bay Area tech industry professionals, elected officials, educators, students and researchers in an
interactive event that will showcase the very latest in clean technology.
Cleantech Pitchfest scientists and topics include:
• Kendra Kuhl - Recycling CO2: Fueling your car on recycled CO2
• Marcus Lehmann - CalWave: Harnessing energy from ocean waves
• Samveg Saxena - MyGreenCar: Test driving "virtually" to compare real fiiel economy and EV range
• Chinmayee Subban - Energy -Efficient Desalination: Making fresh water from salhj sources on the cheap?
• Jeff Urban - Nanoscale Sponges: Capturing carbon with metal -organic frameworks

June 1, 7-9 p.m., Marines' Memorial Theatre FREE ADMISSION :: RSVP a `, friends.lbl.gov
Berkeley Lab's popular Science at the Theater travels across the Bay to San Francisco's Marines' Memorial Theatre to
present the Lab's first Cleantech Pitchfest. Which of 6 big new ideas designed to help transform our carbon -drenched,
overheating world should get the first shot? Six Berkeley Lab scientists have 8 minutes each to persuade you that their
technology has the most promise and social value.
Energy -Efficient Desalination:
Making fresh water from salty
sources on the cheap
Current desalination techniques require huge
amounts of energy and generate large amounts
of environmental waste. Berkeley Lab's Chinmayee
Subban, a Cornell PhD, leads a desalination research project
that simultaneously reduces environmental waste and energy
use by incorporating an innovative mix of low-cost materials. The
technique could help relieve the stress on global water supplies
by reclaiming brackish water both in the US and other
countries—including in the developing world.
Nanoscale Sponges: Capturing carbon
with metal -organic frameworks
Removing excess carbon from an overheating
atmosphere is an urgent and complicated
problem. The answer, according to Berkeley Lab's
Jeff Urban, could lie at the nanoscale, where
specially designed cage -like structures called
metal organic frameworks, or MOFs, can trap large amounts of
carbon in microscopically tiny structures. A Harvard PhD with
expertise in thermoelectrics, gas separation and hydrogen storage,
Urban directs teams at the Molecular Foundry's Inorganic
Materials Facility.
A
DIY Efficient Windows:
$, Applying paint -on coatings for
�i energy-efficient windows*
Replacing millions of porous windows with
energy-efficient versions in older buildings and
homes can be prohibitively expensive. Berkeley
Lab's Raymond Weitekamp, a Caltech PhD, has a new approach:
an inexpensive, paint -on, energy-efficient coating that can be
applied simply and evenly without the help of a professional—while
the windows are still in place. The paintable, clear material contains
photonic crystals, developed by his startup company PolySpectra.
CalWave: Harnessing energy from
ocean waves*
At CalWave, Marcus Lehmann is developing the
WaveCarpet, which harnesses the power of ocean
waves to produce electricity and freshwater. Avoiding
the pitfalls of other wave -energy projects, the
WaveCarpet operates submerged, allowing it to survive stormy seas
while causing no visual pollution or posing any collision danger.
Recently CalWave was selected as one of nine finalists to compete
for DOE's Wave Energy Prize—a 20 -month design -build -test competi-
tion. Earlier this year, the German-born Marcus was named to
Forbes 30 Under 30 in the Energy Sector.
MyGreenCar: Test driving "virtually" to
compare real fuel economy and EV range
A Berkeley Lab scientist specializing in all things
vehicular—from powertrain technologies, vehicle
electrification and vehicle -grid integration to advanced
engine technologies, personalized fuel economy and
EV range prediction—Samveg (Sam) Saxena is
leading the development of a new app called MyGreenCar. MyGreen
Car predicts personalized fuel economy and eliminates EV range
anxiety as a barrier for prospective car buyers. He also leads the
development of V2G-Sim, a research platform for understanding how
vehicles will interface with the grid.
Recycling CO2: Fueling your car on
recycled CO2*
Kendra Kuhl co-founded Opus 12 to find out if an
electrochemical process, operating inside a desk -
sized reactor, can do on an industrial scale what is
often hailed as the Holy Grail of carbon -recycling
research—convert CO2 captured from smokestacks into ethanol and
other valuable products. A self-proclaimed chemistry geek in high
school, the Berkeley Lab scientist honed her big idea while complet-
ing her PhD at Stanford.
* Part of an energy startup company participating in Berkeley Lab's incubation program,
called Cyclotron Road. This DOE -funded program seeks to identify the world's best hard
energy technology innovators and provide them the tools, capital, and partners needed to
commercialize their technologies.
