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 late 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 CA 94920.

Recommendation to Adopt a Resolution Establishing the Municipal Budget
Pla %%d�or FY 2016-17; Appoint ad hoc Committee to study Capital Planning
Pr � ess
DISCUSSION
At the regular meeting of June 1, 2016 the Town Council received a presentation and held a
public hearing on the proposed Municipal Budget for FY 2016-17. At the conclusion of the
Public Hearing, staff was directed to return to Council on June 15 for adoption of the proposed
Fiscal year 2016-2017 budget and associated Resolutions.
Subsequent to the June 1 budget presentation, staff has learned a Public Works 2003 Ford F250
utility truck is in need of extensive mechanical repairs, estimated to cost approximately $7,500-
10,000. The vehicle has approximately 100,000 miles on the odometer and is currently not being
driven due to the nature and severity of the issues. The Town invested approximately $8,000 in
the same vehicle several years ago addressing issues very similar to the ones being observed at
present. Staff had intended to include funds for a replacement vehicle in the FY 2108 budget, but
due to the vehicles age, mileage and estimated expense of the current needed repairs, staff is
proposing to replace the vehicle in FY 2017 at a cost of $40,000 rather than make the needed
repairs only to replace the vehicle in a year. The vehicle has been fully depreciated, with
replacement funds collected in the General Fund Capital Equipment Replacement Reserve. This
would be the source of funds if the purchase is approved, leaving this Reserve Fund with a
projected ending balance at June 30, 2017 of $415,338, well above the policy minimum of
$122,200.
Recapping the presentation at the June 1, 2016 meeting, and as revised by adding the proposed
purchase of a new Public Works truck, the total Town budget appropriates $13,988,470 in
expenditures. The total budget includes $10,838,457 in operating expenditures, $425,300 in
capital equipment and IT outlay, $1,962,000 in capital improvements, and $762,713 in debt
service. The operating budget is balanced and provides a $253,850 surplus.
Finally, at the Council Retreat, staff and Council discussed a new approach to identifying,
prioritizing and presenting capital projects and their associated predicted costs. The proposed
TOWN OF TIBURON PAGE 1 OF 2

.,unc 15. 2016
approach involves developing a scoring system for assessing individual projects, and then using
that data to develop short and long term plans for implementing a Capital Improvement Program.
Council expressed support for this approach at the Retreat. Therefore, staff has included a
recommendation in this Staff Report for Council to form, and appoint members to a Fiscal Year
2016-2017 ad hoc committee to work with staff in further developing the proposed Capital
Planning Process.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
By approving the Resolution as presented, the Council is authorizing the level of expenses, within
funds, for the 2016-17 fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council:
1. Adopt the exhibit resolution approving the Municipal Budget Plan for the Town of
Tiburon for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2017; and
2. Appoint an ad hoc Council committee to work with staff in further developing the
proposed Capital Planning Process.

Re/gfnmendation to Remit $200,000 to CaIPERS towards the Town's
Pension Liability
BACKGROUND
The Town of Tiburon contracts with the California Public Employees' Retirement System to
provide retiree pensions. The Town's annual pension costs are broken down into the plan's
Normal Cost (cost of one year of benefit accrual), and the unfunded actuarial liability (difference
between the accrued liability and market value of assets) amortized over a 30 year period. The
unfunded liability is due to the recent recession and changes to actuarial assumptions. CaIPERS
charges every agency 7.5% interest on their unfunded liability. In FY 2016-17, the Town's
required Unfunded Liability payment will be $269,333. As of the most recent actuarial valuation
(June 30, 2014), the Town's Classic Miscellaneous and Safety Plans have a combined unfunded
liability of approximately $4,584,236. Making additional payments on these unfunded liabilities
over time would save the Town a significant amount in interest expense.
ANALYSIS
Staff met with the Town's Ca1PERS actuarial to determine the impact of paying down the Town's
unfunded liability. Based on this discussion, it was determined that the most significant financial
savings would be achieved by making lump -sum payments to the principal amount. This is akin
to making additional principal payments to a 30 year mortgage. It is projected that if the Town
makes an additional $200,000 payment each year, the Town will save approximately $3 million
over the remaining 28 year amortization period. Essentially, the unfunded liability would be paid
off in 12 years rather than the remaining 27 years, providing all actuarial assumptions used by
CaIPERS were met.
The Town currently has $175,063 set aside in the General Fund CaIPERS Reserve. Staff is
recommending that these funds, plus an additional $24,937 of General Fund Unallocated
Reserves be remitted to Ca1PERS prior to July 1, 2016. In FY 2016-17 an additional payment of
$200,000 will be made to CaIPERS towards the Unfunded Liability and is included in the budget
plan being adopted this evening. As funding permits, the Town may make additional payments
towards the unfunded liability in future years. Staff has previously discussed this
recommendation with the Council Budget Committee and they fully support the recommendation.
TOWN OF TIBURON PAGE 1 OF 2
Town Council Meering
.June 15, 2016
FINANCIAL IMPACT
By making the recommended payment, the General Fund Ca1PERS Reserve will be depleted. An
additional appropriation of $24,937 will be required from the Unallocated Reserve. It is
anticipated that the Town will have a General Fund operating surplus in FY 2015-16 of over
$800,000, including the additional $24,937 appropriation.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
Move to amend the FY 2015-16 Budget to remit $200,000 to Ca1PERS as an additional
payment towards the Town's unfunded pension liability. This budget amendment is to be
funded by $175,063 from the General Fund Ca1PERS Reserve and $24,973 from the
Unallocated General Fund Reserve.

commendation to Adopt an Appropriations Limit (Gann) for
X016-17
BACKGROUND
Proposition 4, approved by California voters in November 1979, established and defined annual
expenditure appropriation limits on all government entities. Proposition 4 became effective in
Fiscal Year 1980-81; however the calculations to determine the annual limit are carried from a
Fiscal Year 1978-79 base. Proposition 4 was modified in 1990 with the passage of Proposition
111, which slightly changes the annual adjustment factors, further identification of the types of
expenditures which are excluded from the limit, and provisions for the exclusion of emergency
expenditures from the limit. Implementation legislation provides that the Town Council shall, at
a regularly scheduled meeting, establish by resolution the amount of appropriation subject to
limitation. The State is to be provided with informational forms with the filing of the Annual
Statement of Financial Transactions no later than ninety days after the start of the fiscal year.
The appropriations limit is the calculated dollar amount which limits the Town's ability to receive
and expend proceeds of taxes. Such revenues include: Property Taxes, ERAF rebates, Sales
Taxes, Real Property Transfer Taxes, Transient Occupancy Taxes, Business License Taxes, State
Motor Vehicle Fees, Off -Highway Taxes, certain rental income, other revenues and rebates, a
share of Investment Earnings, and transfer of funds from other funds into reserves of the General
Fund.
The limit is calculated by adjusting the previously adopted limit by factors which include: (1) the
State of California Per Capita Income Growth, and (2) the Town's Population Growth. Both
these figures are provided by the State Department of Finance. The limit is further adjusted if
cities bear the costs of legislated fees for the transfer of responsibility. The County, through SB
2335, established fees for the collection of property taxes, which are not subject to the limit.
ANALYSIS
The calculation for the Town of Tiburon's Appropriations Limitation for FY 2016-17 is
illustrated below:

5. Add: legislated pass-through fees
County property tax collection $55,000
6. Revised limit, July 1, 2016 $8,901,503
Once the Appropriations Limitation has been determined for the upcoming fiscal year, Staff must
then determine the amount of revenues that the Town expects to receive that are subject to the
limit. The table below illustrates revenues that are subject to the Gann Limit.
2016-17 Appropriations Subject to Gann Limit

Mayor and Members of the Town Council
Office of the Town Manager
BACKGROUND
Mayor Tollini was recently contacted by Tiburon resident Randy Greenberg requesting that the Town
Council adopt a proclamation honoring June as National Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month. Ms.
Greenberg is a longtime Tiburon resident and volunteer who currently serves on the North Bay public
policy committee of the Alzheimer's Association. She notes that many Tiburon residents are affected by
Alzheimer's — directly and indirectly — and an increasing number will be affected in the future.
According to Greenberg, Alzheimer's is the only cause of death among the top ten in the United States for
which there is no treatment and no cure. Other facts about the disease: Alzheimer's is the 5th leading
cause of death in those 65 and older in the United States; one in 9 older Americans is afflicted with the
disease; and one in every five Medicare dollars is spent on someone with Alzheimer's.
Ms. Greenberg says the goal of the Alzheimer's Association is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through
the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the
risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. The proclamation is an effort to further that goal.
In addition to adopting the proclamation and presenting it at the June 15 meeting, Greenberg has requested
that the Council allow a member of the Alzheimer's Association to make a brief statement. This request is
being made to all Marin cities, as well as the Marin County Board of Supervisors, which has agendized
this item for its June 7 meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
1) Hear a brief presentation by a representative of the National Alzheimer's Association; and
2) Adopt the proclamation in support of June 2016 as National Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month.

TOWN OF TiBURON PROCLAMATION
in support of Alzheimer's Association
Honoring June 2016 as
National Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month
WHEREAS, today there are more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's, a figure that
is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by mid-century if we don't develop a cure or an effective
treatment; and
WHEREAS, there are currently more than 588,000 people with Alzheimer's living in the state of
California, with 5,600 of these in Marin County, with an additional 16,800 caregivers in Marin County
who are looking after a loved one with Alzheimer's; and
WHEREAS, the greatest known risk factor for Alzheimer's disease is advancing age; and in Marin
County persons over 60 comprise 25% of the total population, making Marin County the one of the
oldest in the Bay Area. One in nine persons over the age of 65 has Alzheimer's, with that number
increasing to one in three for those over 85; and
WHEREAS, more than 20% of Tiburon residents are over the age of 65 and that number is
projected to grow steadily, putting residents at increasing risk for Alzheimer's disease and other
dementias; and
WHEREAS, researchers are making progress in developing ways to accurately diagnose and treat
Alzheimer's disease, and we need to accelerate the pace of that research if we are going to have a
disease -altering treatment in the next 15 years; and
WHEREAS, the Alzheimer's Association is marking June as Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness
Month and June 20`x' as "The Longest Day", a sunrise to sunset event symbolizing the challenging
journey shared by those living with Alzheimer's and their caregivers.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Tiburon Town Council hereby proclaims its
support of June 2016 as Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness month and urges every resident to take time

T Hall Exterior Painting
BACKGROUND
The Fiscal Year 2015-2016 budget included an allocation of $40,000 for the re -painting of Town
Hall. In February 2016, five painting contractors were contacted to provide quotes for the work.
Three of the contractors decided not to bid and one painter provided an informal quote of
$44,600. The only fornlal quote received was from Paul Clisham Painting & Decorating for
$31,116. In April 2016 a contract was drafted and sent to Paul Clisham Painting & Decorating.
However, this company was unable to provide a performance bond for the work and subsequently
withdrew their quote.
Staff subsequently contacted an additional six painting contractors to obtain quotes and only two
responded; Omni Painting & Waterproofing provided a quote for $68,350 and Jerry Thompson &
Sons for $44,200.
ANALYSIS
Jerry Thompson & Sons has provided the lowest quote, is based out of San Rafael and has an
extensive portfolio of successfully completed projects that include: the San Francisco Opera
House, the Dome of San Francisco City Hall, the San Francisco Ferry Building, California
Academy of Sciences and San Francisco's De Young Museum. This company is not expected to
have difficulty providing a performance bond for the work, and staff is recommending approval
of the contract as proposed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The painting of Town Hall was included in the 2015/16 Capital Improvement Program Plan as a
Community and Miscellaneous Project and was funded in the amount of $40,000. Funding is
from the General Fund Infrastructure & Facility Reserve. A budget amendment authorizing an
additional appropriation in the amount of $4,200.00 from the General Fund Infrastructure
Reserve is needed to fund the proposed work.

Subject: Recomnt ndation to Adopt a Resolution Directing Commencement of
Procee gs for the Issuance of Reassessment Bonds, Designating a
Cons nt anal Authorizing Related Actions
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
Staff has been exploring the possibility of refinancing the Town's previously -formed assessment
districts by issuing refunding bonds with lower interest rates. Depending on interest rates, this
could reduce annual property assessment payments for property owners in the affected districts,
which include the following:
• 1999 Main Street District
• 2001 Stewart Drive Undergrounding District
• 2005 Del Mar Valley Utility Undergrounding District
• 2010 Del Mar Supplemental Undergrounding District
• 2005 Lyford Cove Undergrounding District 1 &2
• 2006 Lyford Cove Supplemental Undergrounding District
Preliminary analysis indicates if market interest rates do not change significantly in the near
tern -i, debt service savings as a result of the refinancing are available.
To that end, on June 1, 2016, the Town adopted a Resolution declaring the need for a Parking
Authority and that the Town Council be the legislative body of the Parking Authority, and a
Resolution authorizing the execution by the Town of a joint exercise of powers agreement with
the newly -activated Parking Authority establishing the Tiburon Public Financing Authority. The
Parking Authority also adopted a Resolution on June 1, 2016, authorizing the execution by the
Parking Authority of the joint exercise of powers agreement with the Town.
The joint exercise of powers agreement has now been executed by the Town and the Parking
Authority, and the Town and the Tiburon Public Financing Authority are now requested to adopt
Town Council Meeting
Jun 15, 2016
resolutions to designate and approving agreements with the consultants needed to move forward
with the proposed refunding transaction.
ANALYSIS
The process to refinance the outstanding bonds previously issued by the Town for the existing
assessment district, payable from assessments levied by Town annually on owners of property in
the assessment districts, involves the formation of a single reassessment district and the levy by
the Town of reassessments that will supplant the current property owner assessments. In order to
form the new reassessment district, the Town needs the services of a reassessment engineer, and
Town Staff has received a proposal from NBS Governrnent Finance Group, the firm that
currently assists the Town with the administration of the assessment districts, to serve as the
reassessment engineer.
Also needed to move forward with the process to refinance the outstanding assessment bonds,
the newly -formed Tiburon Public Financing Authority needs the services of a bond counsel and
disclosure counsel to prepare the legal documents needed to authorize and sell the reassessment
bonds to be issued for the Town, and the refunding revenue bonds that are to be issued by the
Financing Authority proceeds of which will acquire the Town's reassessment bonds, and the
Financing Authority needs to designate an underwriter to sell the Financing Authority refunding
revenue bonds to the public. The law firm of Quint & Thirnmig LLP has submitted a proposed
Agreement for Legal Services pursuant to which it will serve as bond counsel and disclosure
counsel to the Financing Authority, and the firm of Wulff, Hansen & Co. has submitted a
proposal to serve as the underwriter for the Financing Authority refunding revenue bonds.
There have been submitted a Resolution for the Town Council to adopt and a Resolution for the
Financing Authority to adopt to accomplish the foregoing, which can be adopted at the same
meeting in the following steps:
1. Town Council adopts a Resolution directing commencement of proceedings for issuance
by the Town of reassessment bonds (Exhibit 1), and then adjourns its meeting.
2. The Town Council then convenes as the Board of Directors of the Financing Authority,
adopts a Resolution directing commencement of proceedings for issuance by the
Financing Authority of refunding revenue bonds (Exhibit 2), and then adjourns its
meeting.
3. The Town Council then reconvenes, and continues with its agenda.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The contract for the Reassessment Engineer will obligate the Town to pay the fees of the
Reassessment Engineer, but the Town will be reimbursed from proceeds of the Financing
Authority refunding revenue bonds for any amount so paid by the Town. The fees of Bond
Counsel and Disclosure Counsel are contingent upon the issuance of the Financing Authority
refunding revenue bonds and will be paid from the proceeds of those bonds. The fees of the
Underwriter will be paid by means of a discount on the sale by the Financing Authority of the
TOWN OFTI¢tniov Page 2 of 3
Town Council Meeting
June 15, 2016
refunding revenue bonds to the Underwriter. If for some reason the refinancing program is not
completed as expected, the Town would need to pay the fees of the Reassessment Engineer to
the date the refinancing program is terminated.
If the refinancing program is completed, all costs of the Town and the Financing Authority
related thereto will be paid for with refunding revenue bond proceeds or from a portion of the
annual reassessments on property owners. The refinancing program is expected to result in
lower annual costs to property owners in the several assessment districts.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
Adopt the Resolution directing commencement of proceedings for the issuance of reassessment
bonds. A Resolution of the Financing Authority directing commencement of proceedings for the
issuance of refunding revenue bonds is on the agenda for the Financing Authority.

Re omrnendation to Approve a Resolution Continuing the Cypress Hollow
Lighting & Landscaping District Assessment for FY 2016/17
BACKGROUND
In 1998, the residents of Cypress Hollow petitioned and received approval from the Local
Agency Formation Commission for annexation from unincorporated Marin County into the
Tiburon Town Limits. Since 1990, the County of Marin had maintained and operated a
Landscaping and Lighting District in Cypress Hollow.
In 1998, the Tiburon Town Council and the Marin County Board of Supervisors passed a joint
resolution transferring jurisdiction of the Cypress Hollow Landscape and Lighting District to the
Town of Tiburon. The resolution also transferred the financial resources and documentation
associated with operation, maintenance and funding to the Town.
Based on this resolution, the Town of Tiburon has maintenance responsibility for:
1. The 25 foot sanitary sewer easement landscape and irrigation on the east boundary;
2. Entry landscaping and the 30 foot storm drainage easement on the southwesterly
boundary and irrigation system; and
3. Ownership and maintenance of the park site.
Since 1998, the Town of Tiburon has continued the operation and maintenance activities of the
Cypress Hollow Landscaping and Lighting District and assessed the residents the cost thereof.
ANALYSIS
The California Streets and Highways Code requires the Town to publicly notice the affected
residents annually in order to continue the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District. The
Town must provide the residents an opportunity to submit either written or oral protests. On April
26, 2016, the residents of Cypress Hollow were sent a notice of this evening's public hearing via
U.S. Mail. As of the writing of this report, the Town has not received any inquiries on the
proposed assessment. There is no change in the amount of the assessment since incorporation,
which is $378 per year.

The $14,000 cost recovery is an average of about 5 hours per week for a Parks Maintenance
employee. Staff believes that the total time spent in the tlu-ee areas totals an average of 7 to 8.5
hours per week. Work tracking software staff hopes to implement in the next year will provide
further data on this in the future.
Note that there is a small surplus in most years. This has generated a reserve of about $30,260,
which is used for larger projects. Special trimming is needed about every four years and can cost
over $6,000. This was done in 2014/15. Additionally, the park infrastructure needs renewal
about every 20 years. In 2009, the Town spent $40,000 rehabilitating the park area.
The total budget for FY 2016/17 compares favorably with the Marin County budget from FY
1996/97, ten years ago. For FY 1996/97, the assessment report from Marin County estimated the
following costs for the maintenance and operation of Cypress Hollow LLD:
County Budget for Cypress Hollow FY 1996/97
Miscellaneous Maintenance
$2.500
Miscellaneous Fees
$88
Contractual Services, Monthly Maintenance
$8.728
Water
$2,300
Indirect County Overhead
$5,733
Contingencies (carry over)
$8,564
Total Expenditure
$27,913
Note that even without the contingencies line item, this County budget was $19,349, or about
17% more than the Town's budget for FY 2015/16 — 20 years later. Staff believes that the
Cypress Hollow development is receiving a good value from the Town of Tiburon.
Cypress Hollow Park is unique among neighborhood parks in Tiburon. It is the only
neighborhood park that is manicured. It is the only neighborhood park with a play set for
children. The park is a well used amenity benefitting the residents of Cypress Hollow.

Town Council Meeting
_June 15. 2016
Two years ago, one resident spoke against the assessment at the Town Council meeting. Prior to
last year, no resident had ever spoken or written in protest to the assessment. There are 44
parcels in the LLD and the LLD has been in the Town since 1998, 18 years. That is a (1/
(18*44)) = 0.13% protest rate.
The resident who spoke against the LLD assessment two years ago said that he had been told by
the developer that the assessment would be paid for in a few years and then disappear. A
disappearing assessment would normally be to fund the cost of initial construction. It is clear
from 1997 Marin County documents that the assessment is for "landscape services" for the
"operation and maintenance" of these areas, not initial construction.
The levy of the annual lighting and landscaping assessment provides a funding source for the cost
of Town maintenance of the park and any required improvements. Without this source of
funding, these costs would be paid for from the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing to hear any protests on the intent to levy the annual
assessment, and
2. Move to adopt the resolution continuing the Cypress Hollow Lighting and
Landscaping District for FY 2016-17
