Under the resale restrictions recorded with the property, the Town has the option to purchase the property or make it available for re-sale through the BMR Homeownership Program to a qualified first-time homebuyer. The property is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom condominium located in the Marsh Condominiums. It was originally purchased by Mr. Herold for the BMR price of $91,900 in 1987, when the unit was newly constructed. The re-sale price of the property negotiated by Marin Housing, after consultation with the Town, is $241,500, including the cost of capital improvements. We are contacting you to confirm that the Town desires to purchase this unit, or if you would prefer to have Marin Housing Authority coordinate the sale of the property to a qualified first-time homebuyer through the BMR lottery program. The seller plans to be moved out and would like to close escrow by the end of October 2007. If the Town is going to acquire the unit, we would also request that the Town waive the fee for the Residential Building Resale Inspection Report. Please feel free to call me at (415) 491-2547 if you there is any additional information you require or if you wish to discuss this in more detail.

Marin Housing has offered the MCC program to qualified first-time homebuyers in cooperation with the Town of Tiburon since the program's inception in Marin County in 1985. The MCC program assists eligible low and moderate-income first-time homebuyers to qualify for first mortgage financing, and provides a significant federal income tax credit that can make the homebuyers' mortgage payments more affordable. To date the MCC program has assisted 324 homebuyers in Marin, representing over $47 million in first mortgage financing and $8.1 million in MCC tax credit assistance. In Tiburon the MCC program has assisted 8 homebuyers with first mortgage financing totaling over $778,600 and $155,700 in MCC tax credit assistance. The first mortgage for these home sales, which are all Below Market Rate home sales, averages $97,300; the purchase price averages $108,000 and the MCC amount averages $19,500. In order to continue the MCC program, Marin Housing is preparing to file an application with the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) for an additional allocation of tax-exempt bond authority to be converted to mortgage credit certificate allocation. In conjunction with this application, CDLAC has asked us to confirm with each participating city and town that its Council members are aware that we are filing this new application, and so we are providing this notification to you. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the Town of Tiburon in support of its affordable housing goals and to the continued success of the MCC program in assisting low and moderate- income first-time homebuyers in Tiburon and throughout Marin County realize the dream of home ownership.

We oppose this proposed ordinance because it would unlawfully sidestep planning, zoning and development review procedures required by law, contrary to sound public policy and in violation of applicable statutory and constitutional law. This Project should be subject to the Town's normally applicable laws and regulations in order to assure that all appropriate environmental safeguards are observed and enforced, and to protect the due process rights of the public generally and our clients specifically. We detail these grounds of our opposition below. THE PROPOSED STREAMINING ORDINANCE WOULD VIOLATE THE DUE PROCESS CLAUSES OF THE UNITED STATES AND CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTIONS. The proposed Streamlining Ordinance would exempt all future planning, zoning and design reviews of the Public Library Expansion Project from the procedural and substantive requirements of the Tiburon Municipal Code and General Plan. According to the proposed ordinance, this would include conditional use permit approvals by this Planning Commission, and site plan and architectural approvals by the Design Review Board, in addition to issuance of building permits. Currently, each of these approvals Honorable Al Aguirre, Planning Commission Chairman and Honorable Planning Commissioners O'Donnell, Collins, Fraser and Kunzweiler Town of Tiburon Planning Commission September 12, 2007 Page 2 . requires notice to affected landowners, typically following by public hearings by this Planning Commission and/or the Design Review Board, in addition to potential reviews by the Town Council. Each of these review procedures provides an opportunity for members of the public, concerned agencies, and effected property owners to appear before these approval bodies to express concerns, offer proposed improvements, and engage these deliberative bodies in a public dialogue essential to informed decision-making. These procedures are particularly vital to assuring that the Town carefully considers the Library Expansion Project's potentially adverse impacts on the adjacent public open space, wetlands, and flood plain within and adjacent to Railroad Marsh. By stripping away the procedural and substantive protections embodied in the Tiburon Municipal Code and General Plan applicable to the future developmental approvals required for the Library Expansion Project, the Streamlining Ordinance contravenes the rights of our clients and the public under the Due Process Clauses of the United States and California Constitutions. It is settled law that Town residents, such as our clients, whose use and enjoyment of their properties might be affected in any significant way by the Library Expansion Project, are entitled to full notice and an opportunity to be heard before their property interests and rights may be impaired. United States Constitution, Amendments 5 and 14; California Constitution, article I, section 7; Horn v. County of Ventura (1979) 24 Cal.3d 605, 616-619; Scott v. City of Indian Wells (1972) 6 Cal.3d 541, 548-550 (each city "owes adjoining landowners. . . a duty to notice. . ., a duty to hear their views, and a duty to consider the proposed development with respect to its effect on all neighboring property owners.") In lieu of the detailed permitting procedures required under existing law, the Streamlining Ordinance would substitute a single hearing before the Town Council. Because Tiburon is a general law city, the Town Council lacks statutory authority to initiate general plan amendments and relating planning and zoning reviews and approvals that are not first vetted to this Planning Commission for the exercise of its expertise. See, e.g. Government Code gg 65353 and 65354. Under the latter section, the Planning Commission "shall make a written recommendation on the adoption or amendment of a general plan." Absent the Planning Commission's review, the Town Council is powerless to take action on a general plan amendment. Yet the Streamlining Ordinance purports to arrogate to the Town Council all reviews pertaining to the Library Expansion Project, regardless whether they might require an amendment to the General Plan. Each of the permit and design approvals that the Streamlining Ordinance would sidestep provides the public and affected property owners with indispensable opportunities to voice their concerns, protect their interests, and engage the Town in full Honorable Al Aguirre, Planning Commission Chairman and Honorable Planning Commissioners O'Donnell, Collins, Fraser and Kunzweiler Town ofTiburon Planning Commission September 12, 2007 Page 3 - consideration of the public policy implications as well as private property impacts of its land use decisions. By evading these procedures - each of which requires a separate notice and opportunity for affected members of the public to be heard - the Streamlining Ordinance effectively eviscerates the federal and state due process rights of Tiburon citizens. THE STREAMLINING ORDINANCE'S EXEMPTION OF THE LIBRARY EXPANSION PROJECT FROM THE TIBURON ZONING ORDINANCE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL "SPOT ZONING." Few principles of land use law are more established than the settled rule that local governments may not exempt particular parcels from the land use regulations applicable to similarly situated properties, an unsavory practice known as "spot zoning." Spot zoning is unlawful regardless whether the affected parcel is subject to more onerous, or less restrictive, land use regulations than surrounding properties. The fact that the Streamlining Ordinance would exempt the Library Expansion Project site from the zoning otherwise applicable to it is thus no less unlawful than discriminatory zoning which subjects a specific parcel to greater restrictions than nearby properties. G&D Holland Construction Co. v. City of Marysville (1970) 12 Cal.App.3 989, 994; Tandy v. Oakland (1962) 208 Cal.App.2d 609,613; Case v. Los Angeles (1956) 142 Cal.App.2d 66, 70. THE STREAMLINING ORDINANCE VIOLATES THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE. As a general law city, the Town ofTiburon is subject to the California Planning and Zoning Law, including provisions such as Government Code sections 65353-354, which require that general plan amendments pass through the Planning Commission before referral to the Town Council, Government Code sections 65560 et seq. (also known as the Open Space Lands Act) which require that any action by a city to regulate or restrict the use of open-space land, including the issuance of building permits, must be consistent with the open-space plan, and Government Code sections 65860 et seq., which require that zoning ordinances be consistent with the general plan, preclude the Town's exemption of the Library Expansion Project's site from the Zoning Ordinance.. As presently structured, the Zoning Ordinance implements and enforces the General Plan, including its Open Space Element. Because the Streamlining Ordinance would sweep away the procedural and substantive protections afforded to Railroad Marsh and the surrounding open space lands through application and enforcement of Tiburon's General Plan and Open Space Action Program, it would violate the foregoing provisions of the Planning and Zoning Law. Honorable Al Aguirre, Planning Commission Chairman and Honorable Planning Commissioners O'Donnell, Collins, Fraser and Kunzweiler Town of Tiburon Planning Commission September 12, 2007 Page 4 THE STREAMLINING ORDINANCE WOULD VIOLATE CEQA. The Streamlining Ordinance purports to exempt any developmental approvals issued' for the Library Expansion Project from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, purportedly pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). CEQA does not permit such a cavalier, carte blanche abuse .of the "common sense" exemption provided in section 15061(b)(3). Exemptions from CEQA pursuant to this guideline are available only "[w]here it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment." Id. Such is not the case here. The Library Expansion Project is proposed to be constructed onto and adjacent to Railroad Marsh and surrounding open space. These lands are well within the Town's designated flood plain. Indeed, these lands flooded as recently as 2006. Where, as here, the proposed development involves grading of wetlands and adjacent uplands, alteration of their drain~ge patterns, and the elimination or creation of vegetation dependent on those patterns, there is a reasonable possibility that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. California Farm Bureau Federation v. California Wildlife Conservation Board (2006) 143 Cal.AppAth 173, 194- 196. In the California Farm Bureau Federation case, the Third District Court of Appeal ruled unanimously that a project that proposed to enhance wildlife habitat by altering land elevations and drainage patterns thereby precluded a finding that there was "no possibility" that the project might cause significant environmental impacts. Id. Moreover, the Court pointed out that an agency which invokes this exemption carries a high burden of establishing that there is "no possibility" that the project might trigger environmental impacts. Id. The Court noted that "a party challenging what is essentially a claim of the common sense exemption under Guidelines section 15061, subd.(b)(3), unlike a party asserting an exception to a categorical exemption, need only make a 'slight' showing of a reasonable possibility of a significant environmental impact." Id. at 195. Here, it is apparent that grading alone of the adjacent open space lands, due to their proximity to and, indeed, inclusion within the documented flood plain, could redirect flood waters onto adjacent properties, impair the percolation and dissipation of flood waters, increase the depth and erosive force of flood waters, and otherwise alter the natural drainage patterns in ways that could cause environmental harm. Because the Town has conducted no environmental review t.o show that this project carries "no possibility" of causing an environmental impact, it cannot sustain its burden of Honorable Al Aguirre, Planning Commission Chairman and Honorable Planning Commissioners O'Donnell, Collins, Fraser and Kunzweiler Town ofTiburon Planning Commission Septemb~r 12, 2007 Page 5 establishing that the Library Expansion Project would have "no possibility" of causing an environmental impact. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, we respectfully submit that the proposed Streamlining Ordinance is unlawful and represents bad public policy. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Stephan C.

Present: Chairman Aguirre, Vice-Chairman O'Donnell, Commissioners Collins, Fraser and Kunzweiler Absent: None Staff Present: Planning Manager Watrous and Associate Planner Tyler ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None COMMISSION AND STAFF BRIEFING Staff Update - Planning Manager Watrous reminded the Commission of future agenda and noted that a hearing would be held for the Streamlining Ordinance for the Library Expansion Project on September 12, 2007. PUBLIC HEARING 1. 3 JUANITA LANE: PROPOSAL TO LEGALIZE EXISTING OPERATION OF A MASSAGE THERAPY STUDIO; Main Street Properties, Owner; Judy Drewek and Jennifer Rockwell, Applicants; Assessor's Parcel Number 059-101- 12 Associate Planner Tyler summarized the staff report, stating that the project is a legalization of the existing operation of a massage therapy studio. She stated that the previous use of the location had been a small health care office. She stated that the use includes two private massage rooms, a bathroom and reception area, and the hours of operation are by appointment only Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday's 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. She said the applicant worked as a previous massage therapist at Fitness in Tiburon and with the recent change in ownership of the gym, TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES August 22, 2007 MINUTES # 951 Page 1 .. . .t- ' .. wanted to open her own independent massage therapy studio. She discussed parking regulations and said the Commission should evaluate whether parking is adequate for the proposed use. Judy Drewek, applicant, said she had leased space at Fitness in Tiburon since 1995, and she wants to continue taking care of her clientele at the new location. In reply to a question of Commissioner Collins, Ms. Drewek said the Bay Club purchased Fitness in Tiburon and required everyone to be an employee of the Bay Club, which meant that her customers also would have had to become members of the club in order for her to continue with them. Commissioner Collins inquired as to ,what percentage of the applicant's clients were local residents. Ms. Drewek replied that approximately 90% of her clients were Tiburon/Belvedere residents, and that the business was presently based on referrals, with only two therapists at anyone time. Commissioner Aguirre asked where clients would park, and Ms. Drewek said most clients are able to park on the street, and, as local residents, are familiar with where to park in the vicinity. Vice-Chair O'Donnell asked if the business could validate for the Main Street Parking Lot. Ms. Drewek replied that they often paid for their clients' parking in nearby pay parking lots. The Chair opened the public hearing. Georgia Kirchmaier, Manager of the Belvedere/Tiburon Chamber of Commerce, stated that the Chamber supports the request. The Chair closed the public hearing. Commissioner Fraser stated that he was satisfied with the staff report and supported the request. Vice-Chair O'Donnell felt that this was a nice new business and supported the request. Commissioner Collins stated that this is a good use thathas been in the area for years and is a continuing community asset. There was discussion by the Commission about what would happen if a different type of massage therapy business moved into the location and whether language should be included in the resolution requiring that much of the business for this use be done by referral. Planning Manager Watrous stated that a conditional use permit would not be TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES August 22, 2007 MINUTES # 951 Page 2 required unless the overall use of the property is changed. It was the consensus of the Commission that a reference to the referral nature of the business be included in Section D of the resolution. Commissioner Collins recommended that the resolution be amended to include language that the use has been in Downtown Tiburon and is simply moving to a new location, primarily serves local residents and the business is primarily based on referrals. ACTION: MIS (Fraser/O'Donnell) to adopt the draft resolution conditionally approving the project, as amended to include language that the use has been in Downtown Tiburon and is simply moving to a new location, primarily. serves local residents.and the business is primarily based on referrals.

Public comment - No members of the public were present for comment. II. Minutes: - The minutes for the regular meeting held May 14,2007 approved. Motion - Riessen: Second - Muller: Vote 4-0. III. Finance Reports: Burchert reviewed the June Cash Reports. She explained that the AC3 net was off due to the unanticipated expenses at Bel Aire, i.e. the facility fees and the payments to the contract instructors for classes offered. Burchert expects the Academy budget to be able to absorb this loss by the conclusion of the FY. Burchert also noted the Ballet revenues were up and the Adult programs appeared to be on track. In addition, the administrative expenses were down due to the absence of a director this summer. She also explained that the Special Events net was not comparable to last year at this time, because the department opted out of the Breakfast with the Bunny event in the spring. However, she indicated that the department would host a new event in the falVwinter to compensate for the absent revenues. IV. Information and Discussion Items 1. Workers Compensation: Burchert reported that the P ARDEC Board of Directors met in May and approved our request to adjust their minimum premium to accurately reflect our annual payroll. The reduced rate of $6834.00 for the next three years will save the department $4696 this FY. 2. Tennis Court Update: Burchert reported that the Del Mar courts have not been power washed in some time, because of the water having been shut off due to construction at the Del Mar School. Dana Thor, the tennis instructors and Gary Morgan deemed the courts "unsafe" for use, and as a result the courts have been locked up. All lessons and classes have been temporarily moved to the Lagoon Courts where we will post a schedule of classes and lessons for the public. Dana is considering postponing the resurfacing of the Lagoon courts because of the disruption it will cause to our classes, the instructors and the tennis key holders. The school district stated that the water was expected to be off until March 2008. Riessen requested that Burchert contact the school district and determine if the water can be turned back on sooner, so tennis can resume at the Del Mar courts. 3. Golf Tournament Update: Riessen reported that he acquired a list from the Town of all the companies/individuals/organizations that were licensed to do business with the Town, so that the golf committee may contact them about sponsoring the tournament. Burchert stated that the recreation staff will send sponsorship letters to the "Tiburon list". Tripp presented and distributed the posters and the flyers for the golf tournament. Muller stated that she had contacted the Concerts in the Park organizers and asked if that would be an appropriate venue to hand out cards/flyers about the golf tournament. They said "no". Muller stated that she would pass out golf cards on the ferry. Riessen stated that he would hand out cards/flyers at Friday Nights on Main. 4. RUSD Lease: Burchert asked about the history of the $25QO donation to the school district and her concern about the ambiguity of this donation. McCasKill stated that this donation is an arrangement that has been in place for as long as he can remember and is perhaps written into the lease. He stated that the fee is supposed to cover extraneous recreation uses of the school sites. Burchert expressed her concern over the amount of money the department has been paying out to the school district. Riessen and McCaskill suggested that Burchert contact the school district regarding the most recent charges and see if we can get them waived, because they were not negotiated prior. 5. Personnel Update: Burchert reported that a new recreation coordinator named Curt Jackson was hired. She stated that he is a former employee of hers from the City of Coronado. He is due to start with us on August 15,2007. 6. Summer Camp Enrollment Update: Burchert reported that Angel Island Camp appeared to be on track to make budget. She also reported that Paradise Park Camp will not make budget, however expenditures have been cut back significantly and the net at the end of the summer should be around $6500.00. Due to canceling the first six weeks of Miwok, it will not make budget either, however Burchert stated that we will offer the last 3 weeks so as to avoid a complete loss. Miwok should net about $3500.00. Burchert reported that the Summer Youth revenue is down, as well. She explained that the projected revenues seemed an ambitious number considering we were offering a third of the camps from the previous summer. She expects the net to be about $4000.00. 7. Executive Director Replacement Status: Riessen reported that the job description was rewritten to include some commentary by Peggy and George and more accurately reflect the position. The committee gave their consent to begin recruiting for the director position. Burchert reported that she would post the job on CPRS, ACA and MonsterTrak on the web and perhaps put ads in the IJ, Ark and forward information to RUSD. McCaskill stated that previously when recruiting for this position, we accepted resumes for a period of one month and could repost the position if we did not receive any desirable candidates during that time. 8. Program Update: Burchert reported that the ballet performance in June was a tremendous success with 108 dancers participating and over 300 people in attendance. A copy of the performance expenditures and revenues was included in the packet for the committee to review. The fees collected for the admission to the performance and the DVD sales offset the expenditure of the costumes each season. Burchert reported that the performance fees, included in the cost of the class, and the Studio membership fees were raised this year to generate extra revenue. IV. Action Items: None VI. Adjourn: Meeting adjourned at 8:35 pm. 2 Belvedere-Tiburon Joint Recreation Committee Administrative Policy & Procedure N umber: ~ Effective: Authority: 2007 -1 September 17, 2007 -' Oversight Committee Appointed by CitylTown Councils I Use of Information Technology ~ PURPOSE: Information Technology (IT) equipment plays an increasing role in a majority of our employees' working lives. This equipment provides Belvedere- Tiburon Joint Recreation Committee (herein referred to as BT JRC) employees the opportunity to perform their daily tasks more efficiently and effectively, whether out in the field or in the office. This policy is to ensure appropriate usage of the BT JRC's IT Equipment. POLICY: The BT JRC policy is to provide computer and communications equipment to those employees who need it to perform their jobs. This IT equipment includes, without limitation, desktop personal computers, servers, printers, scanners, digital cameras, modems, Internet access, e-mail, and associated software, telephones, cellular phones, voicemail, and fax machines. These tools are to be used primarily for official BT JRC business. Violation of this policy may result in discipline up to and including dismissal. · Protecting IT Equipment: All employees share in the responsibility to protect BT JRC computer and telecommunications resources from physical and environmental damage. They are also responsible for the correct operation, security and maintenance of such equipment. Security of the BT JRC's network must be considered at all times when using the Internet and e-mail systems, especially when downloading materials from other sites. · Antiviral Precautions: The spread of computer viruses, worms and related problems is a growing concern for all IT users. To protect our ability to continue operating, BT JRC employees shall take precautions to protect BT JRC's system from being infected. Employees should verify that antiviral software is running on their personal computers at all times and should contact the IT Coordinator if ever in doubt. Employees should exercise great care in opening e-mail messages, particularly unexpected e-mail messages. Employees should exercise extreme caution in opening attachments to e-mail messages, even if the message and attachment appear to come from a familiar sender. If an employee does not know the contents of an attachment, the employee should ask the sender to describe it before opening the attachment. Many viruses and worms automatically send themselves to every addressee in an infected computer's address book. Therefore, the fact that the sender is familiar is no indication that the message and attachment are safe. ~= Authorized Hardware and Software Configurations: Computer hardware and software will be installed, configured and supported by BT JRC as determined by current policy. Only within those parameters is personal preference to be exercised. BT JRC may reconfigure systems and delete unauthorized software and data from time to time. Employees may install hardware and software on BT JRC computers only if it is purchased and licensed by the BT JRC, unless the Director of Information Technology Policy Page] of3 BT JRC approves such installation in writing. The installation of shareware and freeware applications not approved and supported by the BT JRC is also prohibited. ~: Games: Employees may not install games on BT JRC own-owned computers. Employees may not ~use computers for playing games during regular BT JRC llusiness hours or during an employee's regular hours except as part of formal training programs or during an employee's breaks or lunch period. · Permissible Internet and E-Mail Use: The Internet is a business tool provided to employees at significant cost; therefore, employees are expected to use their Internet access primarily for business-related purposes. BT JRC requests that you will conduct yourself honestly and appropriately on the Internet and respect the copyrights, software licensing rules, property rights, privacy and prerogatives of others, just as you would in any other business dealing. Employees may use their Internet facilities for non-business research or browsing during mealtime or other breaks, or outside of work hours, provided that employees adhere to all other usage policies. · Impermissible Internet and E-Mail Use: The Internet and e-mail system is not to be used in a way that may be disruptive, threatening or offensive to others or harmful to morale. For example, sexually explicit images, ethnic slurs, racial epithets or anything else that may be construed as harassment or disparagement of others based on their race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, religious beliefs or political beliefs may not be displayed or transmitted. Further, an employee should not attempt to gain access to another employee's personal Internet or e-mail files without the latter's express permission; unless the BT JRC Director has directed the accessing employee to access such files. Irresponsible action or inappropriate or excessive use of Internet or e-mail privileges will result in a warning. Continued such use will result in removal of Internet privileges. · No Expectation of Privacy: BT JRC provides the tools covered by this policy for the purpose of business communications and these tools remain BT JRC's property. Accordingly BT JRC retains the right to review employee usage of IT equipment. Employees shall have no expectation of privacy for Internet usage and voice and electronic mail communications. Although employees may have passwords that restrict access, employees should be aware that BT JRC can access any messages stored and may do so for any reason at any time. Employees should also note that BT JRC can recover deleted computer files, deleted e-mail messages, and, if the current system allows, deleted voice mail messages at any time and should not expect privacy with respect to such files and messages. E-mail shall never be used for confidential attorney-client communications. Further, employees shall never assume the identities of the persons with whom they communicate are exempt from public disclosure laws. t-: Disclosure: In addition to the foregoing provision, employees should note that data, files, messages and information on BT JRC computers, servers or voice mail might be subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act or pursuant to discovery in litigation. Therefore, treat every message as if it will be made public. ~: Data Backup: Files stored on BT JRC's computer network, including e-mail, will be backed up daily according to the BT JRC's network backup schedule. Nightly backups will not protect files stored on internal PC hard drives, and not in network folders. t"l Retention: E-mail messages are often public records and should be treated as such. Employees should be aware that e-mail is not an optimal archival or retention system. The preferred method for long-term storage of files is that they be saved in network shared folders. If the retention of a message is vitally important, the sending and/or receiving employee should Infonnation Technology Policy Page 2 of3 print a hard copy of the message and file it appropriately. Employees also have the ability to create their own e-mail files in the system. If an Employee intends to retain a message in the e- mail system for more than a short period of time, the employee should store that message in an appropriate e-mail file. Proper maintenance of e-mail messages is essential to an effective public records system. Therefore, Employees should regularly (Le., a! least monthly) review their unfiled e-mails, including those in the "Sent Items" and "Deleted Items" files and permanently delete them. Each employee's e-mailbox has a size cap and employees will be prompted when their mailbox approaches this limit. :~ Personal Use: Employees should keep personal use of IT equipment to a minimum during regular working hours. The BT JRC understands that staff may, from time to time, need to use telephones, computer equipment and Internet access and e-mail for personal use. However, staff should keep such use to a minimum, and BT JRC shall be reimbursed for any charges incurred for such purpose.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT Vice President Jacobs Gibson stated that the President's Report will be presented at the next meeting by President Dave Cortese. She announced that she and Henry Gardner, ABAG Executive Director, attended the Blueprint Learning Network meeting in San Diego on June 20th and 21 st. Together we represented the Bay Area at a workshop with other elected officials and staff from around the state who have Blueprint Planning Grants. She stated that she found the conference to be informative. 5. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT** Executive Director Gardner reported that the state still did not have a budget. Until the budget is adopted, ABAG will not have any indication of whether it will be successful in getting support for on a variety of its initiatives. On June 28,2007, ABAG hosted its second annual housing conference. This year's conference, FOCUS on Affordable Housing, was co-sponsored by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, Bay ConseNation and Development Commission, Metropolitan Transportation Commission, Silicon Valley Leadership Group, Urban Land Institute, East Bay Community Foundation, Bay Area Council, and attended by 175 elected officials, planners, housing developers, and other interested parties. Conference attendees received a copy of A Place to Call Home: Housing in the San Francisco Bay Area 2007. Executive Director Gardner recognized Paul Fassinger, ABAG Research Director, and Gillian Adams, ABAG Planner, for their work on the conference and publication. Regarding the proposed funding criteria for allocation of Proposition 1 C Bonds, implementation of blueprints is made one of several factors in the evaluation of projects in a single competitive grant program under SB 46 (Perata), and, in AB 1053 (Nunez), $400 million is pulled out from the competitive grant program and earmarked for each of several separate programs with the remaining $450 million requiring consistency with local land use plans and policies. This arguably includes consistency with regional blueprints but it is not stated explicitly. As to the Proposition 84 planning funds, there are various proposals in the Assembly and the Senate 2 regarding the allocation of $90 million dollars for planning, regional blueprint, and local government action to implement the blueprints. These funds are necessary to successfully implement the work ABAG is doing under Focusing Our Vision, particularly in respect to Priority Development Areas and Priority ConservatLon Areas. On August 24th, ABAG has scheduled the second GASB Symposium that will address the policy implications of reporting requirements for post employment benefits offered by public agencies. The Green Business Program is 10 years old. Effective July 1st, San Mateo County has joined the ABAG Green Business Program. July also marks the addition of the 1000th business to join the Green Business Program. ABAG staff has met twice with Chevron representatives to discuss security concerns regarding a segment of the Bay Trail between Point Richmond and Point Molate on Chevron property. In addition, a meeting with the Coast Guard is scheduled in July. On June 7th, Gwen Regalia, Mayor Pro T em, City of Walnut Creek, Pat Jones, ABAG Assistant Executive Director, and the Executive Director met with Dale Bonner, Secretary of Business Transportation and Housing, in Oakland to discuss ABAG priorities and ways that BTH can be more supportive of ABAG's goals. Since the last Executive Board Meeting ABAG Finance Authority has issued tax exempt capital financing, including Hamlin School, Series 2007, $20 million in additional Variable Rate Revenue Bonds on behalf"of the City and County of San Francisco for acquisition, construction and renovation of educational facilities; Windemere Ranch Infrastructure Financing Program, $158 million in Revenue Bonds on behalf of Contra Costa County for new public capital improvements and property tax reduction for this 5AQO-home development in the southern portion of the County; La Jolla Country Day School, Series 2007-2, $20 million in additional Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds on behalf of the County of San Diego for construction and rehabilitation of Educational Facilities; Catherine Delmar Burke School, $17 million in Variable Rate Revenue Bonds on behalf of the City and County of San Francisco for construction and renovation of educational facilities; Marin Country Day School, $25 million in Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds on behalf of the County of Marin for construction and rehabilitation of Educational Facilities; Heritage Park Apartments, $6.5 million in Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds on behalf of the City of Norco for acquisition and renovation of this 86-unit affordable apartment project.
