SEP 2 8 2007 Paul Smith Council Chambers at Town Hall 1505 Tiburon Boulevard TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE TOWN OF TlBURON RE: Safety on Pine Terrace, and Social Activites Dear Mr. Smith: I am a seventeen year old boy who lives in Tiburon. I am writing you today because I have two concerns, one is about safety and one is about social activities. One of the concerns is about traffic and people parking their cars on Pine Terrace. After Del Mar gets out there are at least 20-30 cars parked on the street. I live on Pine Terrace myself and after Redwood gets out I usually get back to my house right around when Del Mar gets out. I understand that parents have to pick up their kids somewhere, and I'm not saying that they shouldn't do so in my neighborhood. My concern is that they park inches away from Tiburon Blvd. They park in red zones and get out of their cars to go chat with their friends. Their car and the safety of their kids is in a lot of danger when they park in the red zone. They p~k right in a blind spot from TiburonBlvd. I have almost hit a car when I was pijllin~ <?ntomy street becaus~ th~ywere.p~ked in t~e ,red =?9ne. My mom has called the police multiple times to g'etan o~cer t9 come out'~d tell them to move or to ,do sOqlething ,about i~"bl)~ itj~st~~~m~ Fke every'time tp.at they ar~ called they don't do anything about it. There has'b~en times where people have.parked inches away from Tiburon blvd. with the trunk open, their kid and themselves in the back of the car. All it takes is one time for something honible to happen. One day someone or their kid may get killed because they got hit by a car that was trying to pull onto the street, but they were parked in a red zone. Parents also park across the cul-de-sac so that when they get their kid they can just pull out onto Tiburon blvd. this is one of the most dangerous things that they can do. The child will cross the street to go to their parents cars without looking. There has been several times where I have had to honk my horn because there is a child or an adult walking across the street and wasn't looking. I would just like to have a police officer or an authority figure out there giving tickets or telling them they cannot park there. There should be that authority or police officer there every day because it happens EVERY DAY Mon. through Fri. from 2:45pm till 3:30pm and again at 4pm and 6pm because of soccer. I don't want to have any injuries or fatalities to happen because people are parking in a red zone. The second concern is that Tiburon does not have any social activities for teenagers on the weekends. I understand that.there is Friday nights on Main but that is only during the summer and isn"teven really centered around teenagers. There isn't anything to do during Friday mgpts on Main for teens. J've liyed h~re my ~ntire life and haven't had anything to do downtown. Everything that rriy friends andI did do we got in trouble for, we got in trouble for riding our bikes. I believe that thi~, town is based too much on what adults Watft, nothing is for the kids and teens of Tiburon. A simple dance " 'l #:;. . t ~ k \ or a place to hang outwith a ping pong table, pool table would be nice. If there was a dance once a month at Del Mar, or Bel Aire with a DJ that would be great. You could charge an admission to get in. It would provide a lot more entertainment for the kids and teens. As well as bring a lot of money into the town. I remember it was 2004 and Tiburon had a showing of the movie Pink Panther at Mc Kegney green. There were hundreds of people and it was a blast. If Tiburon would show a current movie every so often, that would be amazing. Id love to go to a movie like that underneath the stars. 1'm sure that tons of other teens and kids would go to that as well. It would bring a lot of entertainment and fun into the town. I would love to hear what you have to say. Sincerely, ~0 Elliott Bush 80 Pine Terrace Tiburon, CA 94920 DIGEST '";'own ofTiburon. 1505 Tiburon Boulevard.

In your email, you indicated this project would be delayed for at least one year. Our original scope for Phase 1 was to deliver one draft Engineer's Report and the activities up to the resolution of intention, the notice and ballot period and the preparation ,of the boundary map,' for the sum of $28,000. Harris & Assqciates has delivered two versions of the draft Engineer's Report for consideration by the Town and the property own~rs and has exceeded the$28,OOO budget. To formCilly cOrTlpletephase 1 we would need to have approval of the Engineer's Report, vote on the district, form the district, sell bonds and go through the cash collection period. During our negotiations with the Town on our scope and fee there were discussions that these additional activities would take us over the $28,000 budget; our understanding with Pat Echols was that we would be compensated in Phase 2. As of today, the Town is holding a payment, pending delivery of the final report. However, based on our scope the delivery of the final report is in Phase 2 of the project, not Phase 1. Since the project is to be on hold for at least one year, I suggest that the last draft report represent completion of Phase 1 of the project. The remaining tasks from Phase 1, which involve updating the assessment database, creating another draft Engineer's Report and preliminary Engineer's Report, preparing the notice of intention, balloting, bond sale and cash collection activities should be moved to a new Phase 1 A. As Phase 1 A precedes the formation of the assessment district and the sale of bonds, this phase would require an additional payment from the property owners to fund the remaining work. As we get closer to restarting the project, I can provide a scope and fee for this work. 120 Mason Circle Concord, CaLifornia 94520-1214 925,827.4900 FAX 925,827.4982 www.harris-assoc.com additional year of delay. Prior to beginning work on Phase 2 we will need to revise and update the scope, the fee, the hourly rates and the tasks to reflect current costs and what has geen learned on prior projects. I have attached a final invoice for Phase 1 of $2,000. Please authorize payment of this $2,000. ..; If you have any questions, please call me at (925) 827-4900 x 246.

It becomes harder to remove as it ages, another reason to eradicate it as early as possible when it appears. The Town is respectfully requesting that the Homeowners Association remove this threat to its own and adjacent properties. I do wish to point out that removal is not a legal requirement. It is on the basis of good land stewardship and neighborliness that we make this request. If you do engage professionals to remove it in the near term, the Town would be willing to provide, at no cost, support to remove and dispose of the resultant green waste.. Please contact us in advance to make such an arrangement. Thank you for consideration, I look forward to hearing from you and hope you will take the steps necessary to eliminate this threat to your and other properties in Town.

Nguyen, P.E. Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Town of Tiburon Dear Mr. Nguyen, Thank you for your interested and thoughtful reply. Furthermore, it is gratifying that you are appreciative of the need for timely responsiveness. As you detailed, our Town has adopted a pavement management system and you have enumerated some of the component considerations. As I am sure you recognize, public health and safety is a critical and, I trust, vital "key factor" which is central to your decision making. As you know, there are many persons who are directly involved in the hazardous roadway of Cecilia Way, between Cayford and Tiburon Boulevard, though the quantitative number, while not insignificant, does not fully convey the qualitative risk per capita involved. In addition, as one of the "key factors" which you enumerated involves fiscal/budgetary concerns, our Town does not want to be encumbered with financial liabilities attendant to foreseeable injuries. I wish to emphasize that it is the public health and safety factors which, I trust, you and your Staff will bring to the timely attention of the decision making body, resulting in a timely action plan which more definitively addresses this neglected though preventable danger. As has been previously noted, Cecilia Way is an accident waiting to happen. Thank you for your interest and cooperation. Sincerely Donald B. Nevins, M.D. c.c.

I have asked our field crews to schedule and perform patching work on Cecilia within the next 2 weeks to address the most immediate needs. In so far as a complete resurfacing of the road, I understand your position. Similar to most municipalities in the county and state, the Town has a limited budget by which we operate with. As such we have adopted a pavement management system approach to maximize the benefits town-wide. The system provides a condition assessment of the roads and factors in traffic volumes, cost for repair, and other parameters to develop an overall improvement plan for the Town. Although the pavement management plan may not give certain street segments high priority for repair, such as Cecilia Way, staff will typically consider inclusion of such segments when they are located within a proposed paving project area. Key factors that may play into our ultimate decision include limited budgets, geographic proximity, pending utility undergrounding, and other utility work. I will review our options and see if there is a possibility of including this work in next year's pavement resurfacing projects. If you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me. Best, Nick Nicholas T. Nguyen, P.E. Director of Public Works / Town Engineer Town of Tiburon 415-435-7388 www.ci.tiburon.ca.us From: Donald B Nevins [mailto:dbnevins@comcast.net] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 12:03 PM To: Nicholas Nguyen Cc: John Noerr; Catherine/Chris Clifford; Randy Dilena Subject: Cecilia Way Road Hazards To: Nick Nguyen, Town Engineer, Tiburon Dear Mr. Nguyen, As you may know, Cecilia Way, between Tiburon Boulevard and Upper Cecilia Way, is in urgent need of major road repaving. It is a highly trafficked street, as it is the sole thoroughfare for the population dense adjoining apartments and condominiums on Cecilia Way, in addition to the community of Tiburon Highlands. What prompts this email has to do with the public health and safety issues attendant to the persisting crumbling infrastructure of Cecila Way. There are frequent occurrences in which vehicles swerve to avoid sections of the hazardous roadway, thereby creating, not infrequently, near accidents with oncoming traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian. This becomes particularly acute when there are parked cars, which further narrow the road. This is an accident(s) waiting to happen and, as such, creates a neglected, though preventable, public safety hazard. Would you please let me know what plans are underway to remedy this matter. Thank you. Donald B. Nevins, M.D. c.c.

It will also increase the volume of water available for fire fighting purposes and will allow the older, 80 year old, tank on the site to be painted and strengthened, The proj~ct will assure the continued delivery of good quality water to the residents 'of Tiburon and will increase the chances that the tank will survive a major seismic event While MMWD has considered removing the old tank and replacing it with a Gompletely new facility, a recent inspection of the tank interior indicates that most of the tank is structurally sound. Therefore, w.e have decided to replace the existing tank roof, which is in poorer shape than the rest of the tank, and then recoat the interior and exterior of the existing - riveted steel tank shell. This will prolong the life of the tank and increase its structural integrity to current earthquake design standards, This work is tentatively scheduled for this winter. The work should be much less intrusive than the installation of the new tank. No trees will be cut and the physical appearance of the site will not change, Removal of the old roof and installation of a new one will require the presence of a large crane, but this phase of the work should go quickly and, while it may, at times, be noisy, it will not generate much dust nor require a large number of vehicle trips on Round Hill Road. Conversely, the recoating work will take longer but will be quieter, Its most prominent characteristic likely will be the large tent that will cover the tank and contain the debris resulting from the removal the old exterior coating, Since the work will be done in the winter time, the portion of the work dealing with the recoating of the tank interior, about a 6 week process, will require that dehumidification equipment be operated 24 hours per day, To minimize the noise produced by this equipment, it will be powered by a temporary PG&E power system, which will be much quieter than the diesel driven generators commonly used for this purpose, recycled #~ recyclable f..., Dear Neighbor September 24, 2007 Page 2 The project is scheduled to begin as early as November and to be-'completed in the spring of 2008, As with the installation of the new tank, all structural and exterior work will be done during the normal work week, Monday thru Friday, between the hours of8AM and 5 PM, Occasionally, relatively quiet interior coating and cleaning work may extend into Saturday, If you have any questions, or need more information on this project, please call either Gary Andersen, the District's Corrosion Control Supervisor, at415-945-1581, or Carl Gowan, the Civil Engineer for the project, at 415-945-1577, Very truly yours, ~yp.-- Dana F, Roxon, P,E.

DIGEsr FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TIBURON CHAMBER SURVEY RESULTS ON LOCAL EMPLOYEES RELEASED The Tiburon Peninsula Chamber of Commerce Workforce Housing Committee has released the results of the survey it conducted this summer of over 87 Tiburon Peninsula employers In zip code 94920 to learn about their employees' living and commuting patterns. Over 41 employers responded. "The committee was extremely gratified to get an impressive 500/0 response rate," stated committee chair and founder Kanlbiz "Kam" Shadan, "this gives us a better picture of who would benefit if workforce housing were provided on the Peninsula." "Approximate 100/0 of the people who work in Tiburon live on Tiburon peninsula and over 50% of employees park in downtown." Shadan added. "Obviously the enlployees would benefit by living near where they work," Shadan said. "The employers as well would benefit, including the school district, the Town of Tiburon, the City of Belvedere, banks, and medical offices, which would be able to provide an additional incentive to qualified professionals to work here." "The Peninsula environment also would benefit from a reduction in commuter traffic, noise and air pollution and perhaps fewer downtown parking spaces filled by elnployees," Shadan added. Committee member Lori Zito-Klose, a housing-development consultant, tabulated the survey results. She said that residents who qualify for workforce housing will be required to earn approximately $35,000 to $50,000 annually, based on financing and other workforce-housing requirements. The 41 businesses who responded to the survey were asked to report the average fulltime employee salary, which turned out to be $50,000. Zito-Klose said that workforce housing would be appropriate for singles, couples and small families. The beneficiaries could include Tiburon Peninsula's public and private employees who are beginning their careers with a job in our community. Larger more established family groups would likely continue to live in larger residences elsewhere, where they have established relationships, children already enrolled in schools, churches, recreational activities, friends and family. Similarly, minimum-wage employees and those with lower incomes, who n1ay not qualify for workforce housing, also would likely ren1ain in their existing comn1unities. Only about 120/0 of the estimated 900 employees live on the Peninsula, while nearly 640/0 live in Marin County and 80/0 live in San Francisco and Sonoma counties, with the remainder in the East Bay and the Peninsula. Approximately 300/0 or 275 of the 900 elnployees reported are renters. The average rent paid by employees living on the Peninsula was approximately $2,200. Of the 900 employees included in the survey, 70 were listed as taking public. transportation while 73 employees carpool. Of the 900 employees, 152 park in the downtown, while n1any businesses either provide parking on their own property or are not located in the downtown. Some surveys did not include this information. It should be noted that n1inimum-wage employees who rely on public transportation are extremely underserved, making commuting to work very difficult. Many employers complained that bus service is inadequate in terms of scheduled hours to down town and more remote locations like Paradise Drive. Late-night employees have no public transportation at all. The following are the numerical results of the survey. Except for total employees, some categories are averages and estimates to compensate for incomplete questionnaires.

Belvedere Tiburon Library Agency August20,2007 Minutes Page 2 The meeting recessed at 9:20 AM. The meeting reconvened at 9:30 AM for the presentation by Field Paoli. There were five members of the Field Paoli team that presented their approach to the expansion process. Mark Schatz was the lead designer on the original library building when he was with BSA. He called libraries the most democratic place in a city. They presented three schemes for consideration. The Center Court showed a second building attached by a bridge with a courtyard between the two. The second scheme "Civic Plaza" showed an extension of the current library out into the current parking area with a new parking lot behind the present building. Scheme #3, "Community Green" depicted a second building, unattached, behind the library. They estimated the cost to construct at $325-$550 per square foot. In three years the cost could be $14 to $18 million. The meeting recessed at 11 :00 AM. The meeting reconvened at 2:00 PM for the presentation by EHDD. Four members of the EHDD staff were on hand for their presentation. They described their general design concepts and how they like to match their designs to the environment. They gave a power point presentation which showed many of their projects from residential and commercial designs. They noted that the most obvious problem at the library is overcrowding of bookshelves and seating. They had prepared three schemes: The Amplification design included a bridge to a second building, using the area between the buildings to congregate. The second scheme is the Clustered Entry which moves the entry to the east side of the building and includes an office mezzanine in the second floor of the original building. The third option is the Civic Connection which expands the building into the parking lot on the east side and a new 34-space parking lot is added to the rear. They estimated renovation costs at $150 to $200 per square foot and new construction at $400 per square foot. The total would approximate $15 to $20 million dollars. The meeting recessed at 3:30 PM. The meeting reconvened at 4:00 PM for the presentation by Group 4. Three representatives were present for this interview, They asked each trustee to name one quality and one constraint of the current building and the plan to expand. They then described some of their over 100 library projects. Their defining vision is that the scope, budget and building program must be aligned, They present several small-scale options for the design of the library that included building at the back as well as in the parking lot. They produced a detailed 3-D model of the library and Town Hall as a community center.

Three representatives of the 50 staff firm made the presentation. They did a site analysis concluding that the plaza could be a more engaging, public space, Given the surrounding hills they felt that from above the building must be attractive. The relationship of the interior to the exterior is a missed opportunity. They also noted possibilities for mezzanine space, the introduction of more glass and the use of sustainable products, They presented three schemes: Expanding into the parking lot; expanding partially in the parking lot and partially in the back with split parking; and a second building in the back connected to the current building with angled parking on Mar West and reinvented parking in the current lot. They had not developed a budget but estimated building costs at $400 per square foot. They have worked extensively oin non-profit and public buildings, aided fund-raising efforts through appearances and graphics. They can produce a complete package - from signage and lighting to paint, fabric and wastebaskets. They gave an estimated timeline of 14-18 months, The meeting recessed at 11 :30 AM. The meeting reconvened at 12:30 PM for the presentation by SMWM. This firm has a staff of 55, Their belief is that good planning and architecture can transform a site or building and bring it to life. They would like to incorporate clerestory windows, overhanging eaves and reflective roofing in a design for the library. They emphasized the fact that the current design in inward looking and should be outward looking, The north-facing rear is the best orientation. It faces many residential neighbors which can be a sensitive issue. They believe that many changes in technology and libraries have occurred in the last 15 years and many more will occur in the next 15, The design must be able to provide for this. SMWM offered one design plan that would take the expansion into the parking lot and into the rear of the current building. They envision an east entry into a long nave. They'd like to see more light in the space and suggested a green roof, literally, one planted with grass. Their budget estimate of $15 million would likely increase by 8-100/0 a year. They would be willing to assist with fundraising and anticipate 1-1/2 years for construction. The meeting recessed at 2:00 PM for about one hour. The BTLA, ASC, staff and several interested members of the public reconvened to discuss the five firms.

RESOWTION RELATING TO THE RENEWAL OF THE LEAGUE GRASSROOTS NETWORK PROGRAM League Board of Directors Administrative Services Policy Committee Source: Referred to: 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, the 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 1 A 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 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 4 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 RESOL\7ED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Citi~s, 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 2. RESOLUTION RELATING TO HEALTHY AGING Source: Referred to: Community Services Policy Committee Community Services Policy Committee WHEREAS, according to the Brookings Institute, the aging U.S. population will begin to mushroom as the leading edge of the large baby-boom generation -- born between 1946 and 1965 -- reach the age of 65 in the year 2011; and WHEREAS, any discussion of the growing senior population must also include the W orId 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 the increasing senior population which includes the baby boomers and the W orId War II generation; and WHEREAS, cities may address quality of life through existing programs that address issues s~ch as "senior fall preventions" by implementing the many programs 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, universal design and short distance transportation; and WHEREAS, where appropriate, cities should encourage retrofits of existing housing to include ADA compliance and senior safety in the home; 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 RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities assembled in Annual Conference in Sacramento, September 8, 2007, that the League explore programs, infrastructure and funding for California cities addressing the needs of an aging population; and, be it further 5 RESOLVED, 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 so that seniors can age in place safely. >>>>>>>>>> 3. RESOLUTION RELATING TO APPLYING 300 FOOT DISTANCE SEPARATION FOR ALL NEW RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES Source: Referred to: City of Los Angeles Housing, Community and Economic Development WHEREAS, residential care facilities provide yaluable rehabilitation and support services for those who live in them, which benefits the greater society; and WHEREAS, the intent of existing federal and state law is to ensure that housing and care facility options are available for elderly, mentally and physically handicapped persons, and others in need of care in single-family neighborhoods and other residential surroundings. The proposed legislative amendments are not intended to place undue restrictions on residential care facilities with six or fewer people, However, the over-concentration of residential care facilities can change the character of a neighborhood as it becomes a center for delivery of various services and assumes a more institutional character. This environment not only creates a disruption to long-time residents, but can also diminish the important residential quality of the treatment experience that care facility residents are seeking; and WHEREAS, in 2006 the League supported legislation such as Assembly Bills 3005 and 3007 (Emmerson) to authorize a city or county to submit to the director of the Department of Social Services (DSS) additional documentation and evidence regarding the siting of a proposed facility designed for six or fewer residents; and supported legislation to extend existing 300-foot standards that apply to facilities licensed by DSS to facilities licensed by the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, These bills were not enacted nor was legislation proposed this year or in previous years that would apply the 300-foot over- concentration criteria to all categories of residential care facilities; and WHEREAS, there is a growing problem in some cities where senior residential care facilities for six or fewer people are being concentrated in neighborhoods in excessive amounts; and WHEREAS, this problem has been aggravated by differing Health and Safety Code provisions (1500,1520.4,1520.5,1527,1566,1568,1569 and 11834) for differing types of residential care facilities for six or fewer people, all of which are regulated by a number of State agencies, and all of which are partially preempted from local regulation per State and federal law; and WHEREAS, the League's intent is to support the cross-application of one state 300-foot separation law to all residential care facility arrangements fairly and equitably and not to stop the availability of housing and care facilities for six or fewer people; 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 to the extent such legislation is consistent with federal law. >>>>>>>>>> 6 4. RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES AND OFFICE OF HOMELAND SECURITY Source: Referred to: p;ub1ic Safety Policy Committee "'Public Safety Policy 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 AB 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 AB 38, any subsequent legislation, or other efforts to consolidate the Office of Emergency Services and Office of Homeland Security; 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. ##### 7 rJJ.
