Dear Debbie:
I am in receipt of your letter requesting that the Town employ streamlined
permit review processes for the planned library expansion. To accomplish
this, the Town Council will need to pass an implementing ordinance to set
forth streamlined rules to govern the process.
Please be assured that Town staff intends to bring such an ordinance to the
Town Council for its consideration. We anticipate this occurring in
August or September of this year. We will advise you of the timing as it
draws near.
The Town looks forward to working with you and the Library Board to
see this expansion through to a successful conclusion.
Best wishes,

RE: FIRE ROAD REHABILITATION ON TIBURON PENINSULA
Gentlemen:
On June 20, 2007, the Tiburon Town Council approved the rehabilitation of fire road
segments of Town open space land subject to working out of final details with the Town
Staff. The Town wishes to extend its thanks to both your agencies for promoting this
important fire safety effort.
The Town would like to begin the coordination of the work such that it can take place in a
timely manner while-protectingtr-affic-safety,' utilitiesand-resourc-e-s that-ceuld-
inadvertently be compromised or damaged during the work. The Town will request at
least seven (7) days prior notice such that a biologist can mark with small flags areas near
(but not on) certain segments of fire road where special status plants may exist. This
measure is strictly precautionary, as fITe equipment is not anticipated to stray from
previously-established fire road alignments in any manner that could damage these
special plants. If you have a likely start date in mind, please let me know as soon as
possible.
The Fire Department will need to coordinate with the Tiburon Police and Public Works
Departments regarding the delivery of heavy equipment through Town streets to the fire
road locations. The Town assumes that Tiburon Boulevard, Trestle G~en Boulevard, and
Shepherd Way will be the route of access for equipment reaching the Shepherd Way
Extension Fire Road. The Town further assumes that Tiburon Boulevard and Gilmartin
Drive will be the route of access for equipment reaching both Middle Ridge Fire Roads.
The Town assumes that the bulldozer will be delivered to the ridge-top via Gilmartin
Drive, and will begin its work at that location and return by retracing its route. Please let
me know if any of these assumptions are incorrect. The Tiburon Public Works
Department will periodically have a monitor present during the work.
t'ej.57
$.
.
.<..
Any delivery of heavy equipment to the Vistazo West Fire Road should also be
coordinated with the Tiburon Police and Public Works Departments, as traffic control and
vehicle size limitations need to be addressed.
The Marin Municipal Water District (MMWD) has advised the Town that there is an 8-
inch water main under the Middle Ridge Ridgetop Fire Road (see attached map).
MMWD requests that at least one week's notice be provided prior to start of work such
that USA can be alerted to mark the location of the pipe, which is reportedly only two feet
below grade. MMWD is concerned that the pipe could be damaged if exposed.
Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church will need to be contacted to gain their permission
for access over and work upon their property at the end of Shepherd Way.
Once these issues have been adequately coordinated with the Town Staff, the Town
Manager will execute the hold harmless and right-to-enter agreements with the County
Fire Department.
Please call me at your earliest convenience to discuss these details. I strongly recommend
that a meeting with Town and Fire Department representatives be held soon to address
any details or concerns. My telephone number is (415) 435-7392.
Very truly yours,
~

Re: Town of Tiburon's public safety and emergency communications
TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE
TOWN OF TIBURON
Dear Mayor Gram,
I'm writing to introduce you to SMAR1911, a service which offers a significant new enhancement to 911
and emergency communication capabilities.
SMAR1911 helps people communicate more effectively during emergencies. The service allows people to
store critical household information on SMART 911 ' s database in advance of an emergency. Then,
whenever they call 911 from any phone registered with SMAR1911, their stored information is
automatically made available from SMAR1911 ' s database to 911 call takers. 911 dispatchers can then
communicate the information to first responders in the field.
Critical information that subscribers can store on SMAR1911 ' s database includes: household location and
access details, names and ages of household residents, and any health and medical problems faced by
each resident that could affect the provision of emergency services. SMAR1911 subscribers can also
provide photos of residents and information about pets, the location of utility shut-offs, persons to
contact, and other critical care infonnation. Having this information transmitted automatically and
instantaneously to 911 call takers can improve the speed and effectiveness of911 emergency responses.
You can watch an informative video about the SMAR1911 service on our web site at
hups:/ /www.smart911.comlsubscriber/web/ / get - InformationJPage.html.
Key considerations for the Town of Tiburon regarding SMAR1911:
. Enhances public safety of citizens, workers, and visitors in the Town of Tiburon.
· Improves the ability of 911 callers to provide crucial information to emergency call takers during
stressful and dangerous situations.
. Saves cities and emergency response agencies money by delivering services more efficiently.
. Improves quality and timeliness of law enforcement, fIre and medical emergency responses.
. Provides invaluable information in the event of major natural disasters or terror incidents in
which the availability of critical care information (such as the location of households with persons
with substantial disabilities) may help frrst responders to save lives.
(Over, please.)

. Compatible with existing 911 and emergency communications/dispatch systems.
· Worb with wireline, wireless, and Voice over IP (V oIP) telephones.
. No cost to Town of Tiburon: SMAR1911 hardware, software, training and service provided free
of charge.
. Supports Neighborhood/Community Emergency Response Teams (NERT /CE({T) and citizen
disaster preparedness.
Geologists say that California will suffer a major devastating earthquake in the near future. Don't let the
tragic and unnecessary aftermath of a Katrina-scale event happen in your community. The lives of the
Town of Tiburon's citizens may well rest on your leadership. SMAR1911 provides you with an
opportunity to proactively improve public safety with no budgetary impact.
Please let me know the best way to help you bring this valuable service to the Town of Tiburon. I look
forward to meeting with you to provide further information about SMAR19 1 land how it could enhance
the Town of Tiburon' s public safety program.
Sincerely,

Francisco and the rest in Marin County.
His talk will be about the changes that he has seen in the grocery retail
industry over the 50-plus years he has been in the business. He also

customers have become.

retirement when the opportunity arose to open DeLano's IGA stores.
The DeLanos are already engulfed in the community by being part of the
Wine Festival and contributing to a variety of local organizations. Come

changed over the years and what they are today.

STAFF, BOARD AND COMMITTEE REPORTS:
1. Chair's Report
Chair Otter commented that she was pleased that the library has held two family-oriented events
during this fiscal year - Blackie's Hay Day and the library's 10th birthday party. The upcoming
Library Society's Chocolate & Champagne party will cater to adults.
2. BTLF Report
. The date for the Library Society's Champagne and Chocolate party has been changed to
Wednesday, June 6th, and will honor Elaine Petrocelli. The library is open that evening so the

. The BTLF approved the grant of $50,000 to the library for the collection.
. Trustee Falk will be the BTLA liaison at the next Foundation meeting.

classrooms to encourage summer reading programs. She also describes and recommends the

upon the recent sale of their car. Joan's letter expressed her affection for the library and was
warmly received by the Board.
4. Financial statement for April 2007
At 830/0 into the fiscal year library finances are within budget. On the revenue side, the second
half of Tiburon's tax was not received until May so this bodes well for the final tally.

TRUSTEE CONSIDERATIONS:
8. land Negotiation Proposal from the Town of Tiburon
The Agreement to Convey Real Property from the Town of Tiburon to the Library, prepared by the
Land Negotiation Committee, has been reviewed by Attorney Gary Ragghianti and he has
conveyed his opinion that there is nothing remarkable or disturbing about it. Congratulations are
in order given that this is a major hurdle toward the expansion process. The agreement does not
ask for any transfer of funds and is subject to only minor terms and conditions.
Comments from the Board included questions about the use of meeting space once completed.
The Town will be given priority over other non-Library users and that use will be provided at no
cost. The Library Director made it clear that this would not be a problem and that currently the
Town uses the Founders Room on occasion for various meetings.
The Army Corps of Engineers will soon submit their report that the water level of the drainage
ditch is at an appropriate level. In 2004 the Initial Study was completed and accepted by Tiburon
Town Council and given the status of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
A motion to accept the Agreement to Convey Real Property made by Trustee Fong and seconded
by Trustee Kuhns was approved unanimously.
9. Belvedere Community Foundation Vote of Support
Many thanks were expressed by the Board for the Belvedere Community Foundation's $100,000
seed money, payable over four years, for the expansion. This donation and the conveyance of the
land are taking the project to a whole new level of support.
10. Building Program Planning Update
The letters of interest from architectural firms have been received. The Architect Selection
Committee will choose semi-finalists and visit one of each firm's projects with their representative.
They will then narrow down their choice to three that will make a presentation to the BTLA.
Stephanie Pug ash has joined the Committee.
11. Building Maintenance Program Update
The shingle cleaning/staining and trim painting project has begun. The cleaning has been
completed and made a noticeable difference in the appearance of the building. A new slurry seal
will be applied to the parking lot in June. The Children's patio will be cleaned in time for the
Library Society party.
12. Preliminary Budget FYE June 30, 2008
The Library is estimating a 60/0 increase in tax revenue for the coming fiscal year. With other
anticipated revenues, the income after debt service will be approximately 7% higher for FY07/08.
The salaries and wages (line item 7010) budget shows a pre-COLA 50/0 increase due to the
additional hours approved by the BTLA this year for a Young Adult Librarian. This includes a two-
hour a week increase for four staff members.
The bottom line does not include the new expense line for project development costs for a mobile
office and two salaried positions. At this point it is unknown how much the selection of the
architect will cost.

13. Personnel: job description and position approval
Director Mazzolini distributed a revised draft of a job description for the Capital Campaign
Manager that was written with the assistance of Chair Otter and Sharon Kahn. This position will
report to the Library Director. It was recommended that a confidentiality clause be added since
this employee will be privy to private information of potential donors. The question of how long the
contract should be in effect was discussed. From a legal standpoint Trustee Kuhns recommended
a one-year renewal contract to start.
A motion to approve the job description for the Capital Campaign Manager as discussed, made by
Trustee Epstein and seconded by Trustee Fong, passed.

the asphalt would be replaced with concrete, with no retaining walls."
Page 2, 5th paragraph to read as follows, "Commissioner Kunzweiler wondered asked if

Alex D. Mcintyre:
On behalf of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, I am pleased to announce our sixth annual Local Economic
Development Grants Program. Last year, PG&E's shareholders provided approximately $380,000 to 63
community-based organizations and local governments to support economic and community development
projects. This year's program will disburse up to $400,000 in grants to help meet more of our communities'
economic development needs.
We welcome both new applicants and previous recipients of charitable grants from PG&E. We intend to fund
those projects that we believe hold the potential to make the greatest impact on a community's economic health,
with special emphasis paid to business attraction, retention and lIgreen" business development.
Qualified organizations may apply for grants of $2,500 up to $10,000 (although PG&E may fund successful
applicants at amounts less than their full request). Collaboration among organizations to benefit communities is
encouraged where feasible, and reviewers will look at how well proposed projects lImesh" with those of other
organizations in the community. Thus, we encourage applicants to create partnerships with other economic
development organizations to both maximize effectiveness and leverage the available funding. While grants can
only be awarded to government agencies and 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organizations located in our service territory, an
organization that is not a government agency or 501 (c)(3) may apply in partnership with a qualifying organization.
Once again the application process is on-line. Completed applications must be received by 5:00PM on August
17,2007. Grantees will be announced in early October. Projects and events funded by the grants must occur by
July 30, 2008. The guidelines and application can be found at http://www.poe.com/edarant.
We strongly encourage applicants to advise their local PG&E economic development and/or public affairs
representative of their interest in participating in this year's program. Please direct any questions to them or to
Larry Goldzband of the Charitable Contributions Department at (415) 973-0898, lia8@poe.com, or Jan Noya
Pinna of the Customer Care Department at (415) 973-3073, inp1@pae.com.
Good luck, and we look forward to receiving your proposal!

Re: Call for Nominations - San Francisco Bav Area Conservation Priorities
RECEIVED
JUN 2 7 j2007
Dear Mayor and Council,
TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE
TOWN OF TIBURON
You are invited to nominate an area within the nine county San Francisco Bay Area for
cons ideration as a regional priority conservation area. Knowing the region's conservation
priorities will help focus ongoing and future land conservation efforts and help leverage private
and publ ic resources in these areas. Nominated areas should be areas of regional conservation
significance with broad community support and an urgent need for protection within the next few
years. Nomination materials are included in this packet and are available at
http://www.bavareavision.org/focus/nominationprocess.html.
The deadline for submitting a nomination for priority conservation area designation is
August 17,2007.
This nomination process is part of a regional planning program called FOCUS, which is
spearheaded by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan
Transpol1ation Commission (MTC) in coordination with the Bay Area Air Quality Management
District (BAAQMD) and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC). It is
also being coordinated with regional and local partners. FOCUS has a parallel process under way
to identify priority development areas within existing communities that accommodate growth as
intill near transit. Together, these areas will help collaboratively plan for future Bay Area
growth, whi Ie supporting our existing communities and protecting the region's natural assets.
We encourage your participation in tackling the region's shared challenges through a
collaborative planning strategy for development and conservation. Please contact Jackie
Guzman, ABAG Regional Planner, at 510/464.7994 with questions about the nomination process.
Regards,

DESIGNATION OF PRIORITY DEVELOPMENT AREAS
All local governments are invited to participate in the FOCUS process and apply to designate
Priority Development Areas. An open application process will allow each jurisdiction to
nominate areas that fit at least three basic criteria: 1) areas within an existing community, 2)
areas near existing or planned fixed transit or served by comparable bus capacity, and 3) areas
planned or in the planning process for more housing.
Applications will be available on regional agencies' websites beginning April 19, 2007. The
submission deadline for the first round of applications is June 29, 2007.
After all applications are received, local and regional staff will review the development vision
for these areas and ensure that the basic criteria are met. The Priority Development Areas will be
presented to the ABAG General Assembly for adoption on October 26,2007.
DESIGNA TION OF PRIORITY CONSERV A TION AREAS
Regional agencies are working with the Green Vision group, a coalition of regional and local
open space organizations, to identify areas that are priorities for conservation efforts. FOCUS
will collaborate with local governments to determine Priority Conservation Areas, based upon
local plans and the results of the Green Vision project. All local governments interested in
having Priority Conservation Area Designations will have the option of applying at a later date.
INCENTIVES
Regional agencies are working to align many existing and future financial incentives for local
governments that have designated priority areas. Potential sources include future funding from
MTC's Transportation for Livable Communities and Housing Incentive Program, as well as
additional discretionary transportation funds from MTC's Regional Transportation Plan 2009
Update. The State is also considering aligning funding from the recently passed housing and
resource bonds to regional priorities, potentially including FOCUS priority areas.
LONG-TERM REGIONAL STRATEGY
FOCUS is a long-term strategy, and new sources of incentives are likely to arise in the future that
will be available to Priority Development and Conservation Areas. The intention of FOCUS is to
target areas for development and conservation incentives for the next few decades. If a city does
not receive incentives in the first round, it will remain eligible for future rounds of funding as
available. There will also be opportunities for other cities to apply for priority area designations
if they do not participate in the first round of applications.
ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE
Priority areas will also be focal points for regional agency efforts. Regional agencies will offer
services to assist local governments with priority area planning and development activities.
These services will include technical and outreach assistance, networking assistance, and best
practices information.

Prograln Information
FOCUS is a multi-agency, regional planning initiative spearheaded by the Association of Bay
Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in coordination
with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and Bay Conservation and Development
Commission. It builds upon regionally adopted smart growth policies and related programs
and is one of several Regional Blueprint Planning efforts across the State. The goal is to create
a specific and shared concept of where growth can be accommodated (priority development
areas) and what areas need protection (priority conservation areas) in the nine-county San
Francisco Bay Area. Having a regional strategy to target investments and assistance in these
areas will make our comlnunities stronger and advance protection of our natural areas and
working lands. By working together, local and regional partners can collectively move forward
to address growth and conservation needs for future generations.
As part of the FOCUS Prograln, nominations are now being accepted for regionally designating
priority conservation areas in the San Francisco Bay Area that contain lands important for
protection via purchase fee title or easement within the next few years. Priority conservation
areas are areas of regional significance that have broad community support and an urgent need
for protection. These areas will contain important agricultural, natural resource, watershed,
historical, scenic, cultural, recreational, and/or ecological values and ecosysteln functions.
Knowing the region's near-term conservation priorities for targeting protection efforts will
promote collaboration and investment in these areas that are critical to the region's quality of
life and ecological diversity.
The identification of the region's conservation priorities is an ongoing process and involves
n1any regional and local partners. The FOCUS Program has been working closely with the Bay
Area Open Space Council and Greenbelt Alliance who are leading a complementary,
collaborative process called Green Vision. Green Vision is bringing land use planning and land
conservation professionals together to craft a long term vision for protection of important
conservation areas throughout the Bay Area by acquisition and policy. Green Vision and the
FOCUS Program will continue to coordinate efforts as appropriate and facilitate collaborative
partnerships that support smart growth and smart conservation.
Purpose of Designating Priority Conservation Areas
The purpose of designating priority conservation areas through the FOCUS Program is to
accelerate protection and restoration of key natural lands in the San Francisco Bay Area
through purchases or easelnents. Conservation will be promoted through regional designation
by:
. Coordinating conservation efforts within a regional framework of near-term
priorities
. Providing a strong platform on which to leverage public and private resources
. Building upon prior and existing land protection efforts and investments
. Providing opportunities for forging new partnerships
Eligible Areas
N olninated areas Inust display a high level of regional significance, consensus, and urgency
(see Nomination Form for criteria details). Nominated areas should not already be protected
and be areas that will benefit from targeted purchases and easements in the near-term. Areas

Dear Supporter of Fair Housing:
We want to keep you abreast of our latest breaking news!
Fair Housing of Marin has recently joined with four other fair housing groups from
across the country in bringing a lawsuit against AG Spanos Companies, the fifth largest
builder in the U.S, with headquarters in Stockton, California. The groups investigated
35 apartment complexes in seven states with a total of more than 10,000 units and
determined the complexes all failed to meet the accessibility requirement~ of the Fair
Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The properties we investigated
\,vere in Rohnert Park.
"It can be hard for an able-bodied person to understand the many barriers that a person
with a disability faces. A raised threshold, a series of steps or a narrow passageway
can make a difference between who can and can't enjoy a home to its fullest extent,"
says our Executive Director, Nancy Kenyon.
For details on this lawsuit, we have enclosed the press release. Nancy Kenyon
welcomes any questions or comments you have pertaining to the lawsuit.
Sincerely,

Note: The lawsuit complaint will be available on the National Fair Housing Alliance website:
VV\v\'\i.nationalfairhousin!!.on! on June 21, 2007
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - June 21, 2007 - The National Fair Housing Alliance and four of its
member fair housing organizations today filed a housing discrimination lawsuit against AG
Spanos Companies, a builder and developer of multifamily housing and commercial
properties in at least 16 states.
In their lawsuit, the National Fair Housing Alliance, Fair Housing of Marin, Fair Housing
Napa Valley, Metro Fair Housing Services, and the Fair Housing Continuum allege that
Spanos failed to comply with federal accessibility standards in the design and construction
of their properties. AG Spanos Companies is headquartered in Stockton, CA with regional
division offices across the country. The lawsuit was filed in the Federal District Court of San
Francisco.
The fair housing organizations investigated 35 apartment complexes in California, Arizona,
Nevada, Texas, Kansas, Georgia and Florida, all of which failed to meet the accessibility
requirements of the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. These 35
properties, totaling more than 10,000 individual apartment dwelling units, represent only a
sample of the at least 84 Spanos properties that are covered by the federal Fair Housing Act.
The Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to discriminate based on race, color, national origin,
religion, sex, disability or familial status.
Since 1991, AG Spanos has engaged in a continuous pattern and practice of discrimination
against people with disabilities by designing and/ or constructing multifamily dwellings
with significant design flaws that render them inaccessible to people with disabilities.
Examples of accessibility barriers include no handicap parking spaces, steep slopes, steps
instead of ramps, narrow door widths and passageways, insurmountable thresholds, arid'
inaccessible bathrooms and kitchens. Still others place environmental controls and electrical
sockets beyond the reach of wheelchair users, and have constructed leasing offices, common
restrooms, recreational and entertainment facilities in such a way to make them inaccessible
to wheelchair users.
"It is outrageous that more than 16 years after the effective date of the Fair Housing Act's
accessibility requirements, and more than 14 years after the effective date of the ADA,
people with disabilities continue to face discrimination because of a building's inaccessible
design. Those in violation must be held accountable." Shanna Smith - President & CEO,
National Fair Housing Alliance
"It can be hard for an able-bodied person to understand the many barriers that a person
with a disability faces. A raised threshold, a series of steps or a narrow passageway can
make a difference between who can and can't enjoy a home to its fullest extent." Nancy
Kenyon - Executive Director, Fair Housing of Marin
"Building apartments that exclude people with disabilities is a violation of the trust of the
Napa community. This exclusion impacts every resident in the community because we all
have friends or relatives that are disabled or may become disabled." Kathryn Winter-
Executive Director, Fair Housing Napa Valley
"There is not a single valid reason for architects, developers, and builders to continue
designing and building inaccessible multi-family housing. Over 16 years after the Fair
Housing Act was amended to provide accessible multi-family housing, people with
disabilities housing rights continue to be violated on a daily basis." David Baade -
Executive Director, Fair Housing Continuum in Cocoa, Florida
"The Fair Housing Act recognizes that people with disabilities can face discrimination
because of abuilding's inaccessible design. Builders and developers are required by law to
construct housing units that are accessible for people with disabilities. Unfortunately, AG
Spanos did not abide by this standard." Foster Corbin - Executive Director, Metro Fair
Housing Services in East Point, Georgia
