RE: Measure "A" Project Plans Miles \Berger CClunCilmember Dear Mr. Anastasio: , Alice Fredericks CCluhcihnerriber Thank you for your letter of March 21, 2007, requesting the opportunity to review our design plans for our Measure A funded projects. Paul Smith C1>>uncilmernber Currently, the only project that we will be applying Measure A funds to this year is our Mar West Street Rehabilitation project. The project is a subset of the Town's annual street rehabilitation effort. We feel the Mar West Street project sets an example for multi-modal integration as we are building a separated pedestrian path adjacent to the resurfacing of the pavement itself, providing enhanced safety for pedestrian who walk along this road. Margaret A.Curran Town Manager Tiburon is fortunate to have an active bicycle and pedestrian advisory committee (BPAC) comprised of bright, well-informed, and caring people associated with the Tiburon Peninsula. I believe one of the members, Peter Winkler, provides legal counsel to MCBC. The Town's BPAC provides guidance and the public review you are suggesting. Further, MCBC has started to attend the Town's BPAC meeting. I had the pleasure of meeting your Executive Director, Ms. Kim Baenisch, at the last meeting. At the moment, we are in good hands. Lastly, the Marin Public Works Association (MPWA) has passed a resolution adopting a guideline in which each agency member acknowledges to deliberately review reasonable opportunities for multi-modal integration in its CIP projects, not just Measure A. I appreciate your request. If you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me. sincere~ Nicholas T. Nguyen, P. .

PG&E will shut down the transformers that serve your property around 8 AM. I have contacted your electrical contractor concerning this Tuesday's electrical conversion so that your contractor can make the switch at your service panel during the period when PG&E power is down. Your electrical contractor will be switching your electrical power feed from overhead feed at the panel to underground feed at the 'panel. Comcast and AT&T personnel will follow and make the overhead to underground switch of their facilities shortly thereafter. Those properties that already had the PG&E service underground prior to this project and are currently getting "live" power from their underground service do not need to have their electrical contractor available (2036 Paradise, 2042 Paradise, 2044 Paradise, 2125 Paradise, 2129 Paradise, 9 Tower Point). PG&E, as well as Comcast and AT&T, will switch from overhead to underground feed at the street utility poles. Please, as a safety measure, unplug all appliances (especially toasters) and electronic equipment at or before 8 AM Tuesday. Please call the Town at 435- 7359 if you ne, ed furtn&,h:r. ssistance.

"'", tlr " Please see the other side of this letter for important information about a planned electric service interruption in your area. During this interruption, it is important to note the following:' . If you are a landlord or property manager with tenant(s) in the area mentioned and the PG&E bill is in your name, it is your responsibility to notify the tenant(s) of the planned service interruption. . Unsafe weather conditions or an unforeseen emeroencv could force us to cancel the work on the primary date at the last minute without notice to you. ill such event. we will return on the backup date and time specified on the front of this letter. or 1f no back-up date is stated. a new notice will be provided to you. SAFETY NOTICE: If you plan to install a standby electric generator during this shutdown, State law requires that you install it properly and that it does not backfeed into PG&E's system. You must also report the generators installation and use to PG&E at the telephone number on this notice. For more information, call us or visit www.poe.com/aenerator. FAILURE TO INSTALL A STANDBY GENERATOR SAFELY AND PROPERLY COULD ENDANGER UTILITY WORKERS, THE PUBLIC, YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY Here are a few recommendations to help minimize any inconvenience to you during this time: . If you rely on life support devices you may want to consider the following: o Install an Uninterruptible Power Supply on the necessary life support equipment. o Obtain small portable oxygen tanks as back-up. o Find alternate shelter at a location not affected by the interruption. . If your water supply is provided from a pump, you will likely be without water during the duration of the shutdown. You may want to have bottled water available. . Computers and other electronic equipment are particularly sensitive to power interruption. We recommend unplugging this equipment before the shutdown period. You should also consider installing a surge protector on sensitive equipment. . Security systems, clocks, irrigation timers, and similar equipment will likely require resetting after the shutdown is completed. . Have on hand battery-powered flashlights with fresh batteries. . Food Safety: During any power shutdown, keep the doors of your refrigerator and freezer closed to help keep food fresh. The U.S. Department of Agriculture states that your freezer should keep food frozen for at least 24 hours, and that refrigerated food should stay safe for up to four hours. If the shutdown is expected to last longer, you should take additional measures now to prepare. This includes filling a few empty liter-size plastic bottles with water and freezing them, putting them into the refrigerator the day of the shutdown to keep food cool. As always, before you prepare or eat food that was refrigerated or frozen, check it carefully for signs of spoilage. More information can be found at www.fsis.usda.Qov. 70006 8960102884 DIGEST '1.

RECEIVED JUL 26.Z007.., TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE TOWN OF TIBU'RON July 26, 2007 Memo to: Peggy Curran, Town Manager Town of Tiburon From: Peggy Bremer, Chainnan G~ Heritage and Arts Commission"\. Re: Artist Laureate Vacancy In February 2002, the Commission presented a Resolution and Laurel Wreath to Jimmy Liu at a Rotary dinner meeting declaring him as the first Town Artist Laureate. Unfortunately a few years later Jimmy passed away. Jimmy, an internationally renowned brush-painting artist, was proposed by a group of his friends and supports, to be the first artist laureate. He was already advanced in age at that time. The Commission and the Council both supported the concept of an artist laureate for the Town and agreed that Jimmy would be perfect, not only because of his artwork, but also because he had run his art studio business longer than any other merchant in the downtown and was continually supportive of community activities. At the time Jimmy was appointed, the Commissioners agreed that, for the future, a set of criteria would need to be developed for the selection of successive artist laureates since it would be unlikely to find another shoe-in such as Jimmy. In March 2002 the ,Commission, after a great deal of research with other Towns, drew up the format for the selection of future Town Artist or Poet Laur~ates and forwarded to the Town Council for their final approval. The list is as follows: 1. The laureate can be a writer or artist 2. The laureate must be a resident ofTiburon or Belvedere 3. The laureate must have a critically acclaimed body of work, which is informed or colored by living in the Bay Area 4. The laureate must be willing to contribute to the community and/or civic events through his/her work 5. The laureate will serve for a term of four years 6. When the term is complete, the position may remain open until a qualified candidate if found .,. .~ .r,. Page 2 Memo to Town Manager July 26, 2007 7. The Commission will review and budget annually for a stipend to be paid to the Laureate for out-of-pocket expenses 8. Each time a new Laureate is selected, a special committee shall be put together comprised of a) The previous Laureate b) Two Heritage & Arts Commission Members c) A professional in that field d) The current Tiburon Mayor e) All members must be Tiburon/Belvedere residents and/or Tiburon/Belvedere business owners. At our meeting on July 24, 2007, the Commission thought you should be aware of the vacancy and ask for your input, as we would like to begin a search for a new Laureate.

He grew up in the summer home built by his great-grandfather, Clyde S. Payne, Sr., at 100 Beach Road (now the San Francisco Yacht Club's 'Cove House'). When Keith was four years old, he carved beads to make earrings for his mother and, as a young child, he made many drawings and sketches that his parents still treasure. He attended Belvedere School, Reed School, Del Mar and Redwood High School. His first jewelry class was at Redwood, and he soon became passionate about jewelry making, working in silver and gold. He continued his education at College of Marin, California College of Arts and Crafts, private goldsmithing lessons and Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts.

He was on the Revere Academy faculty for 17 years, mainly teaching stone setting. In addition, he gave workshops at Mendocino Art Center, Richmond Art Center, San Francisco State University and College of Marin. The College of Marin produced an instructional video of Keith setting stones. He also taught in private studios and tutored a private student for seven years. different styles, from ancient to modem. Specializing in tone setting, he has mastered every type, from Bezels and Prongs to Channel and Pave. "I like to work with clients to find out what their needs and tastes are," he said, "then draw a sketch and estimate the price. Most pieces are handmade in my studio, by myself, from start to finish. I prefer working in platinum because of its durability and superior setting qualities." When you enter the artist's gallery, you know at once that this is not your average jewelry store. From the Asian art to the European antiques, there is a special feeling of warmth and history in the room. Many of the furnishings were gifts from friends and clients, as well as family pieces.

The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the construction of additions to an existing single.family dwelling on property located at 2309 Spanish Trail. A new living room, master bedroom suite and study would be added to the upper floor of the house. The lower floor of the addition would include a two-car garage and storage area. An existing detached garage on the site would be demolished. Variances are requested for reduced front and side yard setbacks and excess lot coverage. The application was first reviewed at the May 3, 2007 Design Review Board meeting. The application was continued to allow the applic~nt to modify the plans to address issues related to architectural integration and the overall building massing. The applicant has now submitted revised plans for the proposed additions. Mohamad Sadrie~ architect, said at the previous hearing the Board asked to provide more integration with massing of the additio~ provide more continuity with materials and architectural detailing, and eliminate additional square footage. He said that the rootlines have been simplified to compliment the existing root: the garage was twisted to run parallel with the roof and the entry was located in the intersection to provide greater continuity between the existing building and addition. He said that the addition would utilize the same materials as the existing house, tying the two segments in terms of materials, details and coloring. He said that TIBURON D.R.D. 7/19/07 2 they also moved the study from the upper floor to the lower floor in order to eliminate the floor area under the storage overhang. Mr. Sadrieh said they became aware of the Town's policy for a 15 foot setback from the base of the garage to the roadway and were amenable to moving the garage back 2 feet. He said that the plans have been presented to neighbors who were supportive of the addition. There were no public comments. Boardmember Glassner stated that the applicant had done a great job of addressing the issues and the plan now works better with the site. Boardmember T eiser thanked the architect and the applicant for a great design that was well integrated with the house. He recommended approval of the project with the additional condition of approval requiring the garage to be, set back two feet further from the roadway. ACTION: It was M/S (Teiser/Glassner) that the application is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, and approve the application subject to the conditions of approval as set forth in the Statl report, and with the additional condition of approval that the garage be set back two feet further from the roadway to comply with the Fire District requirements and Town policy. Vote: 3-0-1 (Frymier recused). Vice Chair Frymier returned to the meeting. G.. NEW BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD 4. 430 RIDGE ROAD HANNAHS/GARAY, MINOR ALTERATIONS/APPEAL An application was filed for a Staff-level Design Review approval on June 1, 2007, for the construction of exterior modifications to an existing single-family dwelling, located at 430 Ridge Road. The applicant requested approval to raise several stone veneer panels at the front of the home (north elevation) fifteen inches in height, which would result in a design feature that was more architecturally integrated into the home. The raised panels would also aid in concealing several skylights along the rooftop, which were previously approved with shrouds around them On June 19,2007, the Tiburon Planning Division approverlthe application and the owner of the neighboring property at 440 Ridge Road has now appealed this decision to the Design Review Board. Fred Hannahs, appellant" voiced frustration regarding the procedures of administrative approval and the review process for previous Design Review applications for this property. He was concerned about impacts from removing the skylight shrouds, and said that it was unclear what the shrouds would look like. He distributed a summary of the history of work to the home which dated back to 1998. He felt the Town was being manipulated by the applicant and suggested an ordinance be developed which would restrict piecemeal construction. TffiURON D.R.B. 7/19/07 3 Mark Garay, applicant, said the only issue before the Board was consideration of the appeal for raising the stone panels in front of the house. He said that drawings for the design of the shrouds were available, and he presented a sample of the stone material for the panels. He felt the critical question that should have been raised in the appeal was whether or not the raising of the panels would impede the Hannahs' view. He said Town Statftook photographs of the Hannahs' home which shows no intrusion to their views, and he felt the panels would result in a better building design. He said that during the course of the Town Council hearing on a previous appeal, Councilmember Berger had made suggestions regarding the skylight designs. Boardmember Glassner asked about the intended purpose of the shrouds and panels. Mr. Garay said their house sits low and the driveway is high, and that as one drives down the driveway the view is one ofan unsightly roof with the shrouds. He felt the panels would create a cleaner roofline. Boardmember Teiser confirmed that Mr. Garay had been heard before the DRB 7 or 8 times with revisions on the original design. Mr. Garay noted that in each instance the Board and/or Town Council approved every application. The Chair opened the public hearing. Miles Berger stated that he had made suggestions regarding the skylight design during the Town Council review of a previous appeal and had discussed the proposed panel extensions with the applicant's architect. However, he said that there had been no discussion regarding removal of the shrouds. He said the far edge of the roof is the area that bounds the Hannahs' views, and the question he felt that was before the Board is whether the raising of the panels would further block or interfere with the views. He said there were, gaps between the panel extension and he felt the skylights could be visible from the Hannahs' house, and such light pollution would be unacceptable. He suggested the shrouds should remain. Paula Little said she had never appealed any application of the Garays to the Town Councilor Design Review Board. She spoke about many of the changes that have gone on with this project over the years, and agreed with Staff that the raised panels would do nothing but improve the appearance. She asked that any future changes be referred'to the Board because of the fact there have been so many project modifications. Mr. Hannahs reiterated that he believed the Town was being used and manipulated and discussed the impacts to neighbors from the ongoing construction and the,history of previous applications for this property. The Chair closed the public hearing. Boardmember Teiser felt the stopping and starting of construction and constant revisions since 1998 were the true aggravation for the neighbors. He said that the Town Council has discussed sequential designs and how applicants return over and over with revisions and design changes, although he did not know what should be done about the process. He agreed that the shrouds TIBURON D.R-B. 7/19/07 4 should not be removed, as there was too much opportunity for light to filter through the panels. He said that he was unsure whether the panels were much of an architectural issue. Boardmember Glassner stated that the work on the property had been approved over time within the guidelines of the Town, and was an improvement to the property. He said that the applicant has done a great job with their design, but he felt that there were technical issues with the shrouds. He stated that the panels would not effectively block the view of the skylights and not prevent light pollution. He felt the stone was beautiful, but he could not approve the project if the shrouds were removed. V ice-Chair Frymier agreed that the shrouds should not be removed, but supported the panels. She empathized with the neighbors having endured constant work over the last 10 years and agreed that the process for situations where the project goes on and on should be reviewed. Planning Manager Watrous noted the condition of approval could be amended to say the shrouds cannot be removed by having the Board direct Staff to prepare a resolution partially granting the appeal with the change in the condition of approval. He said if the appeal were granted, the panels would not be approved. Boardmember Glassner felt the project had gone on for some time and he encouraged completion of the construction. He indicated that he did not want to see any more changes to this project. Chair Doyle stated that he was tired of this project the first time he reviewed it on the Board. He said that the panels would look better for the Hannahs and agreed the shrouds should not be removed. He likened the on-going construction to a form of water torture for the neighborhood and did not think it was fair for neighbors to have to live in a construction zone for so long. Boardmember Teiser added that he did not see justification for the panels, as the color of the stone materials would be too light and reflective. He confirmed with Mr. Hannahs that he objected to the panels, and suggested approving the appeal without any changes in the conditions. Boardmember Glassner and Vice Chair Frymier agreed and acknowledged that the Hannahs did not support the panels. ACTION: It was M/S (Teiser/Glassner) to direct staff to prepare a resolution granting the appeal. Vote: 4--0.

The additions would include two extensions to the rear of the home and a concrete patio in between. The new living space would include a new master bedroom suite and expansion to the family room / dinning room. The proposal also calls for the addition of five new skylights and the reconfiguration of windows and doors throughout the home. The chimney would also be relocated and changed to a narrower flue style chimney. Laura Conte, architect, said the proposal was a modest one-story addition extended to the rear of the house, would include a new master bedroom suite and expansion of the family/dining room. She said the addition was within all zoning requirements, the maximum ridge height would be no higher than the existing hill and the original garage would also be maintained. She said there was no effect on the neighbors, as they concentrated most of the windows toward the back of the lot to face uphill or towards the courtyard. She said that they are proposing skylights which would cause less impact to one neighbor and no light pollution. There was no public comment. Vice-Chair Frymier said her only concern was with the skylights because of the uphill neighbor, but she felt windows would be more invasive. She commended the architect, and said this was the third project Ms. Conte has worked on where such consideration had been extended to neighbors. . Boardmember Glassner supported the efforts to work with the neighbors and felt the design was pleasing and unobtrusive. Boardmember T eiser felt it was an attractive design that was considerate of the Bel Aire neighborhood. He noted that the neighbor facing the skylight has windows that shine light toward ,this home.

The addition would include expanding and reconfiguring the roofline of the existing garage. Two additional skylights would be added over the breezeway. The plans indicate that the asphalt shingle roof material of the addition would match that of the existing roof. A variance is requested for reduced side yard setback. Monika Levinson, owner, said their request is to turn the roof on the garage to create a more energy efficient house and install solar panels. She said that in order to get the highest possible sun exposure they needed to turn the roof to obtain the best and most efficient angle. Colleen Mahoney, architect, felt the change would also help to unify the house, as the odd intersection of the two rooflines at the breezeway connection was not good architecture. She said that they had met with the uphill neighbor who had no objections to what was being proposed. Boardmember Glassner said he was supportive of the design and the environmental benefits of the project. He agreed that the revised roofline would pull the house design together better.

The first floor of the proposed house would include three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a study. The second floor would include a living room" family room, kitchen, dining room, and a master bedroom suite. A two-car garage and workshop would be situated on the first floor of the house. The floor area of the proposed house would be 3,853 square feet, which is less than the maximum floor area permitted for a lot of this size. The proposed house would cover 3,014 square feet (14.2%) of the site, which is less than the 15.0% maximum lot coverage permitted in the RO-2 zone. James Rizzo, architect, said the primary design was done after thorough review ofa previous application for this property. He said that homes in the neighborhood range from 3,600 to 6,600 square feet with one to three-story buildings. Because there was such a diverse style of architecture, he said that they chose a rural feel with a low pitch roof and some gables, which is consistent with other local homes. He said that the house was sited in line with the adjacent homes, stretched the mass along the topography of the hillside, and with the upper floor set back in order to terrace the house more effectively. He said if they built a single-story home, the house would require extensive grading, and the mass would appear similar to that of a two-story home from the street. He felt a single-story solution would trigger a lot coverage variance. He said that the main windows were placed to take full advantage 'of the water views and the side windows were reduced to maximize privacy. Mr. Rizzo acknowledged correspondence received from the residents of Old Landing Road addressing the massing from the street. He felt a very small amount of the home would be visible from adjacent neighbors' homes or yards and once landscaping is done, the home would have even less of a presence, visible only from the front. He stated that the upslope side of the street is traditionally where two-story homes could be built with little impact on surrounding views and privacy. He said there were many examples of two- and three-story upslope structures in the neighborhood which are close to the street, while their proposed front door would be close to 80 feet from the street. He said that they have worked hard to design a home that complies with all zoning requirements and made every effort to tailor the design to appeal to the neighborhood. TmURON D.R.D. 7/19/07 8 Boardmember Teiser questioned if a landscape plan was included with the application. Mr. Rizzo replied that they would not be doing any significant landscaping to the property, with existing mature trees in the rear and a hedge of landscaping proposed in the front. He said that the owners have children and would like space for a front yard. Chair Doyle said it looked as thought the entire building was being proposed as board and batten siding. Mr. Rizzo said this was what is requested, but he was amenable to discussing other fmishes. 'Chair Doyle feh that sometimes changing the material on the two floors helps break up the mass of a building. Vice-Chair Frymier noted that the applicant requests a 3,800 square foot house and that the Fire Marshal has required it be reduced to 3,600 square feet. Mr. Rizzo said he met with the Fire Marshall and there was an issue for certain water pressure and fire flow, calculations given the type of building materials. He said the Fire Marshal may require them to go to a fire resistant type of siding or a mixture of materials, like a hardy board or hardy plank. Planning Manager Watrous agreed that this was consistent with his discussions with the Fire Marshal and said the 200 square ~oot difference could be met in trade-offs using building materials. Mr. Rizzo distributed photographs taken of houses on Old Landing Road. The Chair opened the public hearing. Susan Bolle welcomed the Harle's to the neighborhood and confirmed that the Board received arid reviewed the letter signed by the majority of the neighborhood. She said they appreciate the process the applicants took with approaching the neighbors. She feh the house was attractive on paper, however, the mass of the house relative to its surroundings became much more apparent once story poles were erected. She said the second story extends the entire length of the house to maximize bay vie'Ys, said there were no other 3,800 square foot homes on the west side of Old Landing Road. She believed that a smaller design was in the long-term best interest of the neighborhood and said that the Town had promised the neighbors once the area was annexed to the Town the neighborhood character would be maintained. She asked that the design be modified with a single-story design, or at most a partial second-story. Jeff Chanin said there had been tremendous opposition to bringing in the sewer system because it was felt that it would open the flood gates of development, and now there are larger homes in the neighborhood. He noted the reason the neighbors did not protest the 3,600 square foot home under construction at 36 Old Landing Road was because it was one-story design. He voiced concern about the character of the neighborhood and felt if approved the home would encourage other larger homes. He noted the second story would have 2,200 square feet of side by side rooms with a long ridgeline that would be visible from the front, particularly on the north end. He suggested the Board direct the applicants to take a different direction and revise the plans for a one-story or partial two-story home design. Harold Sogard said the roof of the house would be clearly visible from the south edge of their property. He asked for a design which better fit the character of the neighborhood and requested a landscape plan be required with additional screening. TmURON D.R.B. 7/19/07 9 Terry Kessler asked the Board to deny the application, noting the vast majority of residents and the Board had worked hard to maintain the charming and rural character of the neighborhood and feh the home would set a precedent. He asked to support the existing neighborhood character, stating that all homes on that side of the street were single story. He said a petition of opposition has been signed by nearby and surrounding neighbors and asked the Board to support a favorable precedent for the neighborhood. Margaret Billings and Erminio Petrini echoed the comments of previous speakers. Mr. Rizzo noted the Staff report indicates that the proposed home would be set in line with the existing homes, with no view impacts other than a few windows of the neighboring homes facing the house. He said that not all of neighbors had signed the petition opposing the application, and he feh that the neighborhood was slowly becoming a two-story neighborhood. He said that his clients deserved to have a view, and welcomed the chance to meet with the neighbors to determine what can be designed for this property, which may be a partial second story if that is the direction of the Board. The Chair closed the public hearing. Board member T eiser said that the structure was nice but imposing, and inconsistent with the character of the neighborhood. He noted that the floor area ratio is not a guarantee of house size. He agreed with the need for a landscape plan. .He said that the DRB has granted lot coverage variances to spread out house designs and that there may be an opportunity for that with this property. He felt that the second story was monolithic and suggested the architect and owner meet with the neighbors and come up with ideas to revise the design. Vice-Chair Frymier stated that most of the homes along Old Landing Road are very secluded. She said that the proposed house would be very large, but this beautiful neighborhood is changing. She said that the size of the house was not necessarily too big, but the design should be spread out, or possibly include only a partial second story. She suggested the architect and owner work with the neighbors and gave examples of recently approved projects that she felt seemed to work well at 2, 28 & 30 Old Landing Road. She suggested stonework be used on the front or sides to soften the edges of the house and requested a landscape plan be submitted. Boardmember Glassner stated that the house would loom a bit. He noted other homes at 2 & 4 Old Landing Road included partial second stories and worked well. He stated that the applicants should be able to capture some of the view. He added that he would be supportive ofalot coverage variance and encouraged the architect to return with a formal landscape plan. Chair Doyle feh the neighborhood was not so secluded and quaint as one would believe, noting the existence of some large homes with gates and fences. He feh the design was nice but did feel a bit large. He said that there was a good opportunity to work with the neighbors and recommended the item be continued.

This year, a Inajor focus of the report is the need to encourage housing development in existing communities and near transit as a way to expand housing and transportation choices in the Bay Area. As doculnented in the report, there is an emerging consenslls for providing hon1es in areas that include jobs, shopping and services close to transit. The report discusses several ongoing efforts to promote housing in these areas, including the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process and the region's Focusing Our Vision (FOCUS) planning program. As part of this discussion, the report highlights some of the best practices and strategies that local comlnunities are already using to promote housing. The report is designed to give tangible advice about how we, as a regional community, can encourage growth toward a pattern that meets the region's changing housing needs. The report also documents local government progress in meeting the housing targets established for 1999-2006 as part of the RHNA process. During this period, Bay Area jurisdictions issued pern1its for 92 percent of the region's total housing need, as identified by the State. While this overall perfonnance is quite an achievement, the data show there is room for improvement in creating affordable housing choices. Jurisdictions permitted more n1arket rate housing than needed according to RHNA, but met 43 percent of the need for very low-income housing, 79 percent for 10w-incOlne housing, and 37 percent for moderate-income housing. Thus, it is clear that more still needs to be done. A Place to Call Home notes that Bay Area residents, governments, businesses, and community groups must still work to expand the range of hOllsing choices in the Bay Area in order to meet the housing needs of residents and preserve the region's quality of life into the future.

What is Marin Transit? Marin County Transit District (Marin Transit) was formed by a vote of the people of Marin County in 1964. Marin Transit is responsible for local public transit and contracts with other providers, including Golden Gate Transit and Whistlestop Wheels, to operate local bus and paratransit services. ,Marin Transit's services are designed to provide for the mobility needs of the general population through- out the County. In 2007, Marin CountyTransit District underwent a complete rebranding, renaming ourselves Marin Transit. What exactly is local transit? If the bus begins and ends in Marin County, then it's probably a local transit rOl,lte. Golden Gate Transit (GGT) routes that travel between counties (Le. to San Francisco, Sonoma, or Contra Costa) are considered regional routes. In time, all our local transit vehicles will be distingu'ish9ple by the Marin Transit logo qnd q,cc;ornpa:nylng greengtaphics. If Marin Tran~tt i'5 responsible for loeaJ transit, why dQ ~anyof the buses say "Golden Gate Trarisit"pn them? Gok1en Gate Transit isthe contract operator hired by' Marih Tra\tlsU: tf?,p,rQ,,,jd~ the' maJ0rityofloca I servi(!Qin~~aiIJl.8Y:'U$in,gGolde~. (iate buses, drive:rSf and faEit:itie$,Wtaf~..able to get the most efficient servi,c~imQssi1b'le~ Some of the buses that provide local serVice during certain times of day also provide GGT regional service during peak periods. How are Marin Transit's operations funded? Public transit is funded through many sources. Only a portion of the cost of public transit is covered by passenger fares. The primary sources of transit operating funds for most public transit agencies are state funds, including the Transporta- tion Development Act (TDA) and State Transit Assistance (STA) programs. With the passage of a local half-cent transportation sales tax, Measure A, in November 2004, Marin Transit now has a dedicated source of local funding for transit. Over its 20 years, Measure A is expected to provide about $182 million for local transit. Marin Transit also received a small percentage of the property tax in the County and federal grant funds to support out West Marin Stagecoach service. What kinds of improvements has Marin Transit made recently? As required by the Measure A sales tax legislation, Marin Transit adopted its first Short Range Transit Plan and Local Service System Plan in 2006. In September 2006, system-wide local service changes were implemented to increase frequency where appropriate, reduce transfers, better reflect county travel patterns, and meet system performance' goals. We also added three new Community Shuttles to our system and expanded service on the West Marin Stagecoach. Over time, we will continue to work with our partners and contract operators to monitor and improve our services. How can I learn more about Marin Transit?

ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING AND GENERAL ASSEMBLY will be held at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 8, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Regency Ballroom, located across from the convention center. PETITIONED RESOLUTIONS: For those issues that develop after the normal60-day deadline, a resolution may be introduced with a petition signed by designated voting delegates of 10 percent of all member cities (48 valid signatures required) and presented to the Voting Delegates Desk no later than 24 hours prior to the time set for convening the Annual Business Session of the General Assembly. This year, the deadline is 8:30 a.m., Friday, September 7.

Resolutions can be viewed on the League's website: www.cacities.org/resolutions. Any questions concerning the resolutions procedure may be directed to Linda Welch Hicks at the League office: lhicks~cacities.org or (916) 658-8224. II. GUIDELINES FOR ANNUAL CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS Policy development is a vital and ongoing process within the League. The principal means for deciding policy on the important issues facing cities and the League is through the League's eight standing policy committees and the board of directors. The process allows for timely consideration of issues in a changing environment and assures city officials the opportunity to both initiate and influence policy decisions. Annual conference resolutions constitute an additional way to develop League policy. Resolutions should adhere to the following criteria. Guidelines for Annual Conference Resolutions 1. Only issues that have a direct bearing on municipal affairs should be considered or adopted at the Annual Conference. 2. The issue is not of a purely local or regional concern. 3. The recommended policy should not simply restate existing League policy. 4. The resolution should be directed at achieving one of the following objectives: (a) Focus public or media attention on an issue of major importance to cities. (b) Establish a new direction for League policy by establishing general principals around which more detailed policies may be developed by policy committees and the Board of Directors. (c) Consider important issues not adequately addressed by the policy committees and Board of Directors. (d) Amend the League bylaws. 11 Ill.

RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE RENEWAL OF THE LEAGUE GRASSROOTS NETWORK PROGRAM Source: League Board of Directors Referred to: Administrative Services Policy Committee Recommendation to General Resolutions Committee: WHEREAS, until 2004 the cities of California were faced with continual actions by the legislature and the administration to take city revenues and use those revenues to counter deficits in the state general fund; and WHEREAS, this repeated action by the legislature and the administration seriously threatened the ability of local government to deliver essential public services to local communities; and WHEREAS, in 2001 the Board of Directors and membership of the League of California Cities took actions to strengthen the effectiveness of the League and to prevent the year-after-year erosion of local public services; and WHEREAS, he membership of the League overwhelmingly supported the establishment of the League's Grassroots network program and the accompanying dues increase to hire and support 15 new, professional grassroots staff positions in the organization; and WHEREAS, the Grassroots network program in the League has been a key factor in the League's efforts to secure passage of Proposition 1A in 2004 that placed an effective constitutional restraint against the state continuing to take local government revenues to help meet state fiscal problems; and WHEREAS, the League grassroots network program has been effective in other statewide ballot measures battles including Proposition 42 in 2002, protecting transportation money for transportation purposes; and Proposition 46 in 2002, enacting a statewide bond measure for affordable housing; and the most recent defeat in 2006 of Proposition 90 that threatened to squander taxpayer money and negate local land use decision-making authority; and ' WHEREAS, the League grassroots network program has proven to be an effective tool in support of the League's legislative program; and WHEREAS, the League's grassroots network program is known as one of the preeminent grassroots programs in the country; and WHEREAS, Article XVII, Section 3 (c) of the League bylaws provides that the membership of the League shall be asked to vote before December 31, 2007 on the continuation of the Grassroots program beyond December 31,2008; and 1 WHEREAS, the League Board of Directors desires to hold this election at the Annual Business Meeting of the League scheduled to be held in on September 8, 2007 in conjunction with the 2007 Annual Conference in Sacramento; and WHEREAS, the League Board of Directors respectfully urges each city to support continuation of the grassroots network program because of its proven effectiveness; and WHEREAS, the extension of the grassroots network program will not cause a dues increase for cities since support for the program is now part of the base budget of the League of California Cities; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities, assembled in Annual Conference in Sacramento, September 8, 2007, that the Grassroots Network Program, first established by the member cities of the League of California Cities in 2001, be continued and operated in accordance with the bylaws of the League of California Cities. IIIIIIIIII Back!!round Information for Resolution #1 Source: Title: League Board of Directors Resolution Relating to Renewal of League Grassroots Network Program Background: In 2001, the League membership voted to approve a new grassroots program for the League of California Cities. The program was designed to support the League's advocacy efforts by adding a new grassroots field staff. The membership dues increase approved in 2001 to support the grassroots program was used to hire 15 new professional positions around the state. This grassroots staff is directed to organize and strengthen the voice of city officials when advocating on behalf of city interests at the state capitol and in Washington DC. They are charged with media outreach in their regions, building coalitions with other organizations that have an interest in the public services provided by cities and ensuring that the messages delivered by city officials are on point and effective. When the program was approved in 2001, there was a sunset provision built into the program. This sunset provision requires that a vote of the League membership be taken in 2007 in order to continue the League grassroots program. That vote has been scheduled at the 2007 League Annual Conference in Sacramento and this resolution is the vehicle to take that vote. If the membership approves this resolution, the grassroots program will continue. If the membership disapproves the program, the program will be terminated no later than the end of December, 2008. Membership Surveys: The League has engaged an independent research firm to conduct confidential surveys to test the League membership support for the program, as well as the support for the League's legislative and ballot measure activities. The most recent survey was taken in 2007. Randomly selected mayors, council 2 members and city managers were asked to complete the survey. Responses were received from 467 city officials, a strong 31 % response rate. Some of the key findings were: . City Officials are more involved with the League than they were in 2004 . Nine in ten members rate the job the League is doing as excellent or good. . Email is the preferred communication vehicle for receiving information on grassroots action. . Seven in 10 respondents are familiar with their regional representative. . Compared to five years ago, (prior to the grassroots program) 84% of respondents feel that their efforts on pending legislation and state budget issues have become more effective. Grassroots Activities: In its relatively short existence, the League grassroots program has been a key element in the League's advocacy on behalf of California's cities. Grassroots activities include: . State Budget Deliberations. The grassroots program played a significant role in preventing legislative efforts to prevent state takeaways of local government revenues during the 2002 state budget process. . Proposition lA (2004). The grassroots program was focused on building a strong coalition of supporting organization and community groups as well as media support for a measure to constitutionally protect city revenues from state takeaways. . Proposition 65 Signature Gathering. The League grassroots staff coordinated a highly successful, volunteer signature gathering effort that qualified Proposition 65 for the 2004 general election ballot. This measure was used to leverage the passage of the measure by the legislature that ultimately became Proposition lA. . Infrastructure Bonds. The League grassroots program was also directed at both the legislative passage of the largest infrastructure bond packages ever passed in the nation, as well as the campaign to secure voter approval of Proposition lA-E and Proposition 84. . No on Proposition 90 Campaign. The League's grassroots program led the field operations in the campaign to defeat Proposition 90 on the November ballot. This measure was a destructive proposal designed to cripple local government land use authority. Sponsorship: This resolution is sponsored by the Board of Directors of the League of California Cities. >>>>>>>>>> 3 RESOLUTION REFERRED TO COMMUNITY SERVICES POLICY COMMITTEE 2. RESOLUTION RELATING TO HEALTHY AGING Source: Community Services Policy Committee Referred to: Community Services Policy Committee Recommendation to General Resolutions Committee: WHEREAS, according to the Brookings Institute, the aging U.S. population will begin to mushroom when the leading edge of the large baby-boom generation -- born between 1946 and 1965 -- reaches the age of 65 in the year 2011; and WHEREAS, any discussion of the changing senior population must also include the World War II generation, born between 1936 and 1945, whose members are currently entering the 65-and older category; and WHEREAS, according the Brookings Institute, California and Florida have large existing senior populations, and will experience gains of more than 500,000 seniors during the 2000 to 2010 period; and WHEREAS, the health of a community thrives when all of its residents, from youth to seniors are healthy and active; and WHEREAS, in order to preserve the quality of life and health of seniors, cities need to be actively involved and have the necessary information and tools to assist with the changing senior population which includes the baby boomers and the World War II generation; and WHEREAS, cities may address quality of life through existing programs that address issues such as "fall preventions" by implementing programs similar to the "Down with Falls Coalition of Orange County" and others which were created to conduct countywide fall prevention needs assessments and create 3-5 year strategic plans to address the issue; and WHEREAS, cities may plan for universal housing to emphasize the importance of independent living designs that may include reinforced towel bars, ADA compliance and short distance transportation; and WHEREAS, cities may be involved with programs to address active senior living including intergenerational programs such as mentoring that help to improve the quality of life for seniors and youth in a community; now, therefore be it RESOL VED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities assembled in Annual Conference in Sacramento, September 8, 2007, that the League examine programs, infrastructure and funding for California cities addressing the aging population; and, be it further RESOL VED, that the issue of planning for an aging population will be supported by the League through education and conference programming to share ideas and develop a dialogue with elected officials throughout the state. IIIIIIIIII No Back2:round Information Submitted for Resolution #2 >>>>>>>>>> 4 RESOLUTION REFERRED TO HOUSING" COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICY COMMITTEE 3. RESOLUTION RELATING TO APPLYING 300 FOOT DISTANCE SEPARATION FOR ALL NEW RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES Source: City of Los Angeles Referred to: Housing, Community and Economic Development Recommendation to General Resolutions Committee: WHEREAS, the intent of existing federal and state law is to offer housing and care facility options for the elderly, mentally and physically handicapped persons, and others in need of care in residential surroundings. The proposed legislative amendments are not intended to place undue restrictions on residential care facilities with six or fewer people. However, the placement of an unlimited number of facilities within close proximity of one another could lead to an over concentration of residential care facilities and thereby significantly alter the very residential character that these homes are seeking; and WHEREAS, in 2006 the League supported legislation such as Assembly Bills 3005, 3006, and 3007 (Emmerson) to provide more regulatory authority to cities regarding the location of alcohol and drug abuse recovery treatment facilities, and increase public awareness of the location of those public facilities, but these bills were not enacted, and it became apparent that State legislation would only be feasible in the area of the 300 foot distance separation for certain categories of residential care facilities; and WHEREAS, there is a growing problem of more senior residential care facilities for six or fewer people being concentrated in neighborhoods in excessive amounts; and WHEREAS, this problem has been aggravated by differing Health and Safety Code provisions (see chart attached, 1500, 1520.4, 1520.5, 1527, 1566, 1568, 1569 and 11834) for differing types of residential care facilities (alcohol or drug abuse recoveryltreatment facilities; adult residential; group homes; and residential care facilities for the elderly) for six or fewer people, all of which are regulated by a number of State agencies, and all of which are preempted from local regulation per State and federal law; and WHEREAS, there is no intent to stop the creation of housing and care facilities for six or fewer people, there is a strong need to apply one state law to all such residential care facility arrangements fairly and equitably, and this state law is the one establishing the over-concentration formula of not siting one such facility within 300 feet of another; while this distance threshold exists for some residential care facilities, it does not for all of them, and therein lies a powerful aggravation of the over-concentration situation; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities, assembled in Annual Conference in Sacramento, September 8, 2007, that the League support state legislation to require a 300 foot distance separation for all new residential care facilities. 11111/1111 5 Backeround Information on Resolution #3 Source: Title: City of Los Angeles, Councilmember Jose Huizar Resolution Relating to the 300-Foot Over-Concentration Criteria for Residential Care Facilities Serving Six or Fewer People Background: In the state of California, a residential care facility serving six or fewer people is considered a family use and is exempt from local land use jurisdiction. To prevent over-concentration, the State requires that certain types of residential care facilities serving six or fewer people be located at least 300 feet from another like facility. However, existing over-concentration criteria do not apply to all types of residential care facilities serving six or fewer people, and do not cross over from category to category of facility (see attached chart). Therefore there are no checks in place on the overall concentration of different types of six- person residential care facilities in one area. For example, currently, a senior care facility located at one end of a residential street could be joined by an adult residential care facility two doors down, with a group home next door to that, and so on, because over-concentration criteria do not currently apply to all types of residential care facilities, and what criteria do exist are not applied across the various residential care facility categories. This proposal focuses on the fact that currently the 300- foot rule applies only to some types of residential care facilities, and that it should apply to any and all types of new residential care facilities serving six or fewer people which may desire to locate in close proximity to another. As policy makers, we need to look at the big picture, considering not only the impact of one type of facility near another facility of the same type, but also the potential cumulative effect of a number of different types of 6-bed residential care facilities in one area. This is a statewide concern with which municipalities throughout the State of California are concerned and seek to address. Care facilities have a place in residential neighborhoods in order to offer quality care in family- style environments. Unless we apply uniform and consistent over-concentration criteria for all types of residential care facilities for six or fewer people, we risk denigrating the very residential character these facilities seek to offer to those they serve. By applying the existing 300-foot criteria uniformly and fairly across the board, we will preserve and protect the residential character that these facilities seek and which the State legislation encourages, while ensuring the intent of the law is matched by the implementation of it. 6 rn ~ ~ rn (I) ~ rn (I) o "E ~ C/.) ] o o C/.)

RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A.B. 38; ESTABLISHING A NEW "DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY SERVICES AND HOMELAND SECURITY" Source: Public Safety Policy Committee Referred to: Public Safety Policy Committee Recommendation to General Resolutions Committee: WHEREAS, California emergency management and public safety professionals have for the past several years, expressed concerns over the redundant and conflicting roles and responsibilities of the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, and the Office of Homeland Security; and WHEREAS, in May 2006 the League Board of Directors voted to support the Legislative Analyst Office's recommendation to establish the Office of Homeland Security (OHS) as a division within the Office of Emergency Services (OES); and WHEREAS, in December 2006, Assembly Member Nava introduced A.B.-38, which consolidates the Office of Emergency Services (OES) and the Office of Homeland Security (OHS) into a new cabinet-level Department of Emergency Services and Homeland Security, responsible for overseeing and coordinating emergency preparedness, response, recovery, and homeland security activities; and WHEREAS, the League of California Cities has joined with the California State Association of Counties, the Institute for Local Government, and the Center for Collaborative Policy-CSU Sacramento, in promulgating a Discussion Paper entitled "An Assessment of Collaborative Challenges and Possibilities for Emergency Services and Homeland Security at the Local Level," wherein cities and counties identify in detail the continuing confusion and conflicts created by the existence of OES and OHS in their current organizational configuration; and WHEREAS, the Discussion Paper recommends convening diverse statewide discussion groups to address emergency management and homeland security issues across all jurisdictions and levels of government; and WHEREAS, the Discussion Paper specifies the need for participation of elected officials, the Legislature, the Governor's staff, and key associations such as the League of California Cities, in these discussion groups; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities, assembled in Annual Conference in Sacramento, September 8, 2007; that the League provide appropriate representation in any and all blue ribbon committees, working groups, and other forums convened to ensure the effective implementation of A.B. 38; and, be it further RESOL VED, that the League of California Cities send a letter to the Governor addressing in detail, the need for local government policy participation in this important endeavor.

It was prepared by the Center for Collaborative Policy, California State University, Sacramento (CCP) in collaboration with the Institute for Local Government's Collaborative Governance Initiative (ILG). The California State Association of Counties (CSAC) and the League of California Cities (LCC) have recently joined in partnership with CCP and ILG to address the topics and fmdings outlined in the Discussion Paper. It reports the results of a focus group of expert participants involved with state and local emergency management and homeland secwity programs, with subsequent interviews completed in 2006. CCP and ILG facilitated this process. Drafts of the Discussion Paper were reviewed by all expert participants. The purpose of this Discussion Paper is to help state and local governments better address the complexities of emergency services and homeland secwity through the use of the emerging and relevant tools of collaborative planning, management and problem solving, multi-stakeholder consensus building, and strategies for public involvement. While this assessment does not evaluate a specific program, it presents expert participants' insights on where public participation and collaborative techniques have potential to support the challenges faced by state and local emergency managers. The CCP/ILG paper also presents the recommendations drawn from these insights. The goal is to provide a basis for interested organizations to discuss how to respond the identified challenges Because many of the items outlined in the Discussion Paper address intergovernmental coordination, we feel it is important that your agency be aware of its fmdings and take part in meaningful discussion of its recommendations. Please take the opportunity to review the paper and its fmdings. Our organizations hope to meet with you to discuss the possibility of next steps for the paper's recommendations and to strategize how to move forward with its public release. A follow-up contact will be made in the near future to explore opportunities for a joint meeting. In the meantime, please feel free to contact Adam Sutkus, Senior Mediator & Project ~anager at CCP: 916.323.8409. Thank you for taking time to review the Discussion Paper. Our organizations look forward to beginning a conversation with you on ways we can work together to improve emergency services and homeland secwity at the local level.
