Cc: Linda Fassig-Knauer
Subject: Item AI -1. McKegney Green Update
Dear Town Council,
I'd like to briefly comment on tomorrow's meeting to discuss the upgrade to McKegney Green. My family and I strongly
support renovation of the fields, and urge you to upgrade the full 110,000 square foot space, rather than a reduced 75,000
foot square space.
believe you are aware of the rather poor state of Tiburon's playing fields: baseball, soccer, and other sports. We're a
wealthy community, yet our sports fields have the reputation of being some of the worst in Marin. The town has seen
significant growth in it's youth population over the past ten years, and our facilities are strained. The McKegney upgrade
is an opportunity to control our own fate, and create playing fields which rival those at Friends Field in Mill Valley - well
known for their quality.
I'm certain there will be some residents opposed to an upgrade, and will make comments such as "I don't use the fields,
why should I pay for them?" or "I've lived here many, many years and paid a lot of taxes, I don't want them to pay for
these fields." My reply is: 1) there are many town services which I don't use, but I'm willing to pay for them, because we
are a community, and we should support each others' needs; and 2) Tiburon is changing - we've become a community of
many families with children, most of us moved to Tiburon because it is a great setting to raise our kids. Many of us are
deeply involved in the town and spend many hours volunteering with community organizations including sports, scouts
and schools. It would be greatly appreciated if our opinions are also considered.
Thank you,
Tom Knauer

MINUTES
CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Tollini called the regular meeting of the Tiburon Town Council to order at 7:30 p.m.
on Wednesday, October 5, 2016, in Town Council Chambers, 1505 Tiburon Boulevard, Tiburon,
California.
ROLL CALL
PRESENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: Doyle, Fraser, Fredericks, O'Donnell, Tollini
PRESENT: EX OFFICIO: Town Manager Chanis. Director of Public
Works/Town Engineer Barnes, Town Clerk Crane
Iacopi
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Pamela McConnell -Douglas referenced the correspondence she had sent to the Council in the
Digest, and asked if they had received it. She reviewed the information; her background and life
in Marin; her education and experience as a paralegal and model. Nevertheless, she said she was
unable to find work and asked why no one would give her a job. She spoke about the impact of
this, on her human dignity. She asked the Council if it could help.
Ms. McConnell also said a number of individuals in town were harassing her. She said she could
not understand this because all she sought was peace. Her husband. Steven Douglas, also spoke,
and expressed his sentiment in one phrase, "Peace on Earth".
ACTION ITEMS
1. Update on Capital Project Planning Process —subcommittee recommendation on criteria for
project ranking.
Town Manager Chanis said the Council had discussed the topic of capital project planning and
prioritization at the Town Council/Staff Retreat on April 1, 2016, and again on July 20, 2016,
when it appointed a subcommittee to develop criteria for project ranking. He said Mayor Tollini
and Councilmember Fredericks were appointed to this committee.
The Town Manager said the subcommittee decided to use the County of Marin's criteria as a
basis for its own recommendations. He also said staff had looked beyond Marin County for other
DRAFT
Town Council Minutes #xx -2016
October 5, 2016 Page 1
CIP ranking methodologies, but believes the County's combines both simplicity and useful
criteria that effectively differentiates between projects.
Town Manager Chanis said the questions for the Council, in reviewing the committee's
recommendations, were: Are these the right criteria, the right weightings, and the right rankings.
In his powerpoint presentation, Town Manager Chanis reviewed these three areas and asked for
feedback. The subcommittee members also commented on the process and how they arrived at
the findings.
Chanis said the County's methodology includes eight criteria, weighted, each of which can be
scored between 1 and 5 or 6. He said the subcommittee developed eight criteria with rankings
primarily between 0 and 4. He presented the following list. as Exhibit 1 to the staff report:

Vice Mayor Fraser said it seemed like a lot of criteria to consider. Mayor Tollini said that the
number of criteria did seem like a lot but after considering it, she said it was likely that staff
would use the top four or five criteria to present project information to the Council, while the
Council would most likely focus on the bottom three criteria (aesthetic benefit to residents,
functional benefit to residents, and health and safety).
Vice Mayor Fraser commented that two criteria stood out for him — functionality and aesthetics —
and he wondered how the Council could weigh these on behalf of the residents. He suggested
that there be public outreach on these two points, especially as the Town's demographic
continues to change.
Mayor Tollini said the subcommittee hoped for public participation when they undertook this
task.
Town Manager Chanis said that transparency is what this process is all about. He acknowledged
that aesthetics are in the eye of the beholder, so it would warrant discussion, while function could
be something as beneficial as properly maintained storm drains. Director of Public Works
Barnes said another way to look at it might be to take into account how many people would be
affected by a particular project.
Councilmember Fredericks said the Town's "General Plan is our biggest, longest view of the
Town of Tiburon." Town Manager Chanis commented that the plan also "makes suggestions on
things we should and should not do". Fredericks said this would not preclude any discussion of
projects the public is passionate about.
DRAFT
Town Council Minutes #xx -2016 October 5, 2016 Page 3
Town Manager Chanis said the prioritization process is a tool that gives us a framework, and
should be treated as a guide rather than a hard and fast rule. Fredericks agreed that it is a wise
way to do planning and also prepare for opportunities to present themselves.
On the subject of planning, Councilmember Fredericks asked whether there might be an
opportunity to address Sea Level Rise or climate change within this framework. For instance, to
take into account projects near the water that might be affected. Fredericks said it would show
the Town's readiness to incorporate this information into its criteria. She asked whether this had
been addressed yet in the General Plan.
Town Manager Chanis said the County was taking the Lead on a draft report on Sea Level Rise
and was in the process of developing a predictive model.
Councilmember O'Donnell asked about the ranking of projects; for instance, could the Council
decide to fund a project rated 2.5 versus a 4.5 project. Town Manager Chanis said, absolutely,
Council had the discretion to do so. He reiterated that the prioritization process was meant to be
used as a planning tool and as a guide; not to "box" in the Council, and to help balance resources
with projects.
O'Donnell used an example of when the Town receives matching funds, and said that could be
the trigger to move forward with a project. He said grants were often time sensitive. Fredericks
concurred and agreed that would be the time to move a project up the ranking ladder.
Mayor Tollini talked about, as an example, whether the Town would spend a million dollars on a
project ranked high in order to meet a "legal" criterion. Chanis said a good example of this was
the need to upgrade the ferry landing to meet new accessibility standards. He said no one had
this on their radar and yet, it just recently surfaced. But again, he said the prioritization process
was the beginning, not the end of the discussion on capital projects.
Councilmember O'Donnell said he liked the criteria, and as presented, made perfect sense. He
said the [1-4] ranking system was excellent, as well.
Vice Mayor Fraser said he was still thinking about the process. He said that projects arise,
sometimes unexpectedly. The Yellow Bus Challenge is an example of this. He said they are still
important projects.
Councilmember Doyle asked whether there was a computer program that might do all the
calculations. But he said all the work that had been done on this program was great. He said a
"common sense" approach was good but the Council needed something like this, as well.
Councilmember Fredericks said she was comfortable with the program but wanted the Council to
go through a cycle of ranking. Mayor Tollini said that the Council should "play with it" to see if
it works well and to make changes if it does not.
DRAFT
Town Council Minutes #xx -2016 October 5, 2016 Page 4
The Council went on to discuss the "weighting" of projects.
Fredericks wondered whether a project might be weighted on the basis that it meets a General
Plan policy. After some discussion, Town Manager Chanis said a column might be added to the
project list to reflect this, rather than using it as a ranking tool.
Fredericks also suggested that where legal mandates were concerned, a timeframe on how long
the Town had to meet them might be useful in determining weight. Mayor Tollini cautioned that
this weighting might change the scoring criteria; that it was a different concept if tied to timing.
Vice Mayor Fraser also said grant funding may not necessarily weight a project to a higher
priority. He said there are still "nice to have" versus "need to have" projects, after all.
Councilmember Doyle commented that all the criteria seemed to be resident -based. He asked
whether there might be criteria for projects that enhance the Town for non-residents, and
residents.
Councilmember Fredericks suggested that this could be classified as an economic benefit to the
Town, for instance. She said it might be added as a General Plan criterion as residents/local-
serving commercial enterprises, or business enterprises.
Town Manager Chanis said the County uses the terms, "users" or "public", rather than
"residents". But he said staff had not seen criteria and how to quantify these definitions.
In summing up the discussion, Director Barnes said he heard that Council wanted to add a
column on the ranking sheets about whether the project complies with General Plan Policy and to
add a criterion for commercial benefit. He said he heard that climate change criteria would be
left off, for now.
Town Manager Chanis said he heard that there was general consensus to move forward and
fmalize the criteria and weighting, and to develop a project portfolio and project sheets to bring
to the Council.
Chanis said that left the question of ranking and the best way to do it. He said there were several
options --for staff/council to rank projects together, for staff to rank them, for staff to rank some
and Council others, or perhaps other ideas.
He said typically the way these programs work is for staff and Council representatives to work
together, for instance in a Council subcommittee, and then go to full Council with
recommendations. He said he did not require an answer to this question tonight.
O'Donnell said to avoid a ranking bias, and because the Council is elected to be the overseers of
this process, he would prefer to discuss the projects in an open forum, such as the Town
Council/staff retreat, and following the retreat, rank projects with staff and a subcommittee.
DRAFT
Town Council Minuses tixx -2016 October 5, 2016 Page 5
Councilmember Fredericks said that before Council can rank projects, it needs technical and cost
information. The Town Manager said that's what the project sheets would be used for; that they
provide a summary of this information.
Councilmember Fredericks said she also would prefer that staff rank projects and bring them to
the Council for review. The Mayor said she thought the Council members should rank projects
individually and then discuss them in an open meeting.
Councilmember O'Donnell asked where the projects would originate. Fredericks asked if this
would be at the retreat, or before. Town Manager Chanis said it would be helpful to have them
before the retreat. Vice Mayor Fraser suggested that the Council work on projects in January
and February, prior to the March retreat; and that these projects be brought to the retreat by the
staff, already ranked.
Mayor Tollini said commencement of work on the project sheets should occur as soon as
possible. Town Manager Chanis said staff could come back to Council with these in a couple of
months, and then the retreat would be the culmination of the process.
TOWN COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilmember Doyle said that there were signs denoting "public shore" in Tiburon but he
wondered how to make it accessible to people. He said it was possible the Town already had beach
and water access through public shore access. Town Manager Chanis said he would look into this
further.
TOWN MANAGER REPORT
Town Manager Chanis said he would be out of the office on vacation from October 13 until October
24, 2016.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Bob Austrian, 45 Southridge West, referenced the correspondence he had sent to the Council
and discussed the content. He said there was an unfair imbalance in the View Ordinance adopted
by the Town and that the way it is written makes it difficult for those neighbors impacted by an
overgrown tree to take action. He said that he, and several of his Southridge West neighbors also
present, are requesting assistance from the Council to form a task force made up of laypeople,
attorneys, staff and Council to discuss common confusions arising from the ordinance, and how
to best seek remedies from their neighbors, particularly if the neighbor is uncooperative.
Mr. Austrian continued by saying that this is a serious community issue, as Tiburon residents are
sensitive to the value of their homes, and impacted views affect selling prices, which, in turn,
affect the Tiburon economy as a whole. He commended the Design Review Board and the
Planning Commission for their excellence in providing assistance with local renovations, but
said there was no comparable body to deal with tree issues, and that residents should be relieved
of the burden of mediating and arbitrating privately.
Lalita Waterman, also of Southridge West, introduced herself as one of several neighbors who
came to voice her support of Bob Austrian's sentiments about the View Ordinance. She said that
while many neighbors try to help each other, others are not cooperative, and the View Ordinance
does not support a level playing field. She stated her belief, and the belief of her neighbors, that
the problem lies within the ordinance because it gives tactical and financial advantages to the
owners of the offending trees. She offered her assistance to the task force.

St f update on McKegney Green Renovation Project and consideration of
a rkovi g contract for design work
BACKGROUND
Since Spring 2015, staff has been meeting with representatives of the Tiburon Peninsula Soccer
Club (TPSC), outside consultants, interested residents and Town Council regarding the condition
of McKegney Green and a potential project to upgrade the field.
The playing field at McKegney Green was constructed in 1975. The existing field is about
200,000 SF (4.6 acres) of natural turf. This 200,000 SF includes a sand -based field that is 330
feet by 225 feet or about 75,000 SF (1.8 acres). This portion of the field includes a 10" layer of
sand beneath it for improved drainage. The entire field is crowned to drain to both sides at 2 -
3%. The field is currently irrigated with recycled water treated to a secondary level. This water
is supplied by Richardson Bay Sanitation District (RBSD), under a permit granted to the RBSD
by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The current permit,
granted to RBSD in the 1980's, contains numerous conditions including limitations on the
amount of water that can be used, and the time of year the water can be utilized. In addition, the
use of recycled water is subject to regulations established by the California Department of Public
Health. Although allowed under DPH regulations when the RBSD permit was issued, irrigating
playing fields with recycled water treated to a secondary level would not be permitted under
current DPH regulations.
Since its construction, the McKegney Green playing field has received minimal maintenance
including reseeding, limited resodding, and repairs to irrigation as needed. The playing field is
currently in poor condition, with the field surface exhibiting significant inconsistency in the areas
of turf growth, wear resistance and drainage. In addition, the irrigation system is aged and
operating beyond its expected useful life, resulting in some areas that are too dry for proper
growth and other areas that are muddy and tear up easily under the stress of play.
Council discussed the playing field at the March 2, 2016 meeting, and authorized a pre—design
scoping study to determine the project requirements, and potential options for a renovation of
McKegney Field. Staff engaged Abey-Arnold Associates for that study on March 4, 2016.

Prior to the completion of the pre -design scoping study, the McKegney Green project was
discussed again with Council at the April 1St retreat. These discussions focused on the elevated
salt content present in both the recycled water currently used for irrigation as well as the soil at
McKegney Field. Council requested that we investigate alternative turf grasses that may better
tolerate these conditions.
The pre -design scoping study was presented to Council on May 4, 2016. At that meeting, staff
also presented a spreadsheet that included preliminary cost estimates for a wide variety of project
options. After receiving the Staff Report, accepting public comment, and discussing the issue at
some length, Council directed staff to solicit design proposals for a renovation of McKegney
Green based on the following criteria:
1) A 110,000 -square foot playing field
2) Reduce the crown slope of the field
3) Sand based turf
4) Upgraded drainage
Council also asked for an updated cost estimate based on the above criteria, and a clearer analysis
of the potential use of Paspalum turf with the existing recycled water supply.
On June 3, 2016, Staff distributed a memo providing Council a clearer analysis of the options for
turf, as well as updated cost estimates for the 110,000 square foot field. The turf analysis
concluded the use of Paspalum would be experimental at best, and was not recommended.
Regarding estimated project costs, the cost for a 110,000 square foot sand based field with a
reduced crown, improved drainage and potable water was estimated at approximately $2M.
Moreover, even though the consultant recommended against using Paspalum turf with the current
source of irrigation water, we did ask the consultant to provide an estimate for that scenario,
which is approximately $1.6M.
In response to Councils direction to solicit design proposals, staff received proposals from Verde
Design, and Abey-Arnold Associates. On August 3, 2016, Staff brought the proposals forward to
Council. Staff recommended Abey-Arnold Associates be selected for the field design when
Council is prepared to move forward. However, Staff recommended against proceeding with the
design phase of the project until a funding plan was in place to ensure completion of the project.
At the August 3, 2016 Council meeting, a sub -committee was formed to look at the scope of
work and possible funding options. Staff also received direction to place test patches of
Paspalum and Tifway2 turf at McKegney Green.
Staff has placed the test patches and they are now open for play. It is too early to provide any
meaningful results from this test.
On September 8, 2016, staff met with the Council subcommittee to discuss the project, and
during that meeting, the field design was refined and the size reduced. The new field as set forth
by the sub -committee includes the following design elements:
1. Sand Based
2. 75,000 SF
TOWN OF TIBURON PAGE 2 OF 4
'1'uwn f:uunr it lir r tin_
\u“.nrlri•r 2. 2016
3. Removal of the existing crown (understanding that increases the grass that must be
replaced)
4. Improved drainage
5. Potable water for irrigation
Staff was asked to reach out to Abey Arnold and obtain:
1. A new project estimate based on the refined field design.
2. A new cost for the design of the project.
Abey Arnold has provided this information, with the total estimated construction cost for the
field, including soft costs and contingencies, estimated at $1.6 million (Exhibit 1). The cost
proposal for the design is $54,070 (Exhibit 2), which includes $12,600 of work that would occur
during the construction phase.
ANALYSIS
Staff and Council have been investigating options for McKegney Green since the Spring of 2015.
There have been four Council meetings as well as meetings with individual Council members and
the sub -committee. Throughout this process, Staff and Council have analyzed fifteen different
options for the field. It appears if the Town wants a fully functional sports field, the cost is going
to be in the neighborhood of $1.6 million. Options that cost less are unsatisfactory for various
reasons.
At this point Council should decide two things:
1. Does the Town want to continue to have a sand based sports field at McKegney Green?
2. If so, how will the project be funded?
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total estimated cost of the proposed McKegney Green project is approximately $1.6 M.
There is no funding for construction included in the 2016-2017 CIP. Although Council has had
preliminary discussions about the possibility of forming a partnership with local soccer
proponents and others to finance the project, Council has not yet reached consensus on the details
of that plan. If Council ultimately moves forward on this project, the following are funding
strategies that may be considered:
1. Town funds entire project cost from Unallocated General Fund Reserves, currently
estimated at $3.5M.
2. Town funds a portion out of General Fund Unallocated Reserves and seeks remainder of
funding from donations.
3. Town issues debt for funding entire project cost.
4. Town issues debt for a portion of project cost and seeks remainder of funding from private
donations.
One last thing for Council to consider is timing. If there is any thought of having the field
renovated next Summer, it is imperative the design work begin immediately. The cost of the
design portion of the recommended consultant's proposal is $54,070 including, $12,600 for work
TOWN OF TIBURON PAGE 3 OF 4
'I'uStiu (:uui«•iI %IV 4 ling
ISU\Pn1I)'1. 2. 2016
during the construction phase. The 2016/17 CIP budget includes funding for this for design
work, and the proposed costs are well within the approved CIP budget.
Ongoing maintenance costs for the renovated field are expected to be about $45,000 per year. In
addition, we should anticipate resodding of the field every ten years.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Town Council:
1. Receive staff report on status of McKegney Green Project.
2. Authorize the Town Manger to execute a contract with Abey-Arnold Associates for the
design of the McKegney Green renovation.

Reviewed By: '
Mayor and Members of the Town Council
Office of the Department of Public Works
BACKGROUND
Resolution No. 2015-08 of the Town of Tiburon Planning Commission approved a conditional
use permit to construct a mixed-use commercial/residential building intended for eventual
condominium -type ownership located at 1694-1696 Tiburon Boulevard, the current site of the
New Morning Cafe. The conditions of approval for the project include:
Applicants agree to financially contribute to a future Town project to improve the Tiburon
Boulevard frontage and reduce pedestrian congestion as identified in General Plan Policy
DT -30 and Program DT -r. Said contribution amount shall be finalized prior to issuance of
a building permit for this project.
The owner's design team anticipates construction on the New Morning Cafe building will begin
summer next year. Staff has not yet received a building permit submittal for the project. Ideally,
the frontage work would happen during construction to avoid construction on the frontage after
the new building is opened.
The project is complicated by the following factors:
1. Half the area is in the Caltrans right of way and half on a privately -owned land.
2. The exiting area slopes away from the building and then meets a raised area before the
driveway for the parking area. When the raised area is removed it will be difficult to
properly separate the driving area from the walkway, maintain drainage and match the
building entrance height.
3. There are utility boxes in the frontage at the curb ramp. Guidelines for access ramps state
that Gratings, access covers, and other appurtenances shall not be located on curb ramps,
landings, blended transitions, and gutters within the pedestrian access route. Therefore, as
part of the frontage improvement project we will likely need to relocate:
a. Two water meter boxes
TOWN OF TIBURON PAGE 1 OF 3
To%%11 11rt•iin_.,
November 2, 2016
b. APG&E box
c. An AT&T vault
4. It will be difficult to fit any aesthetic features into the frontage width, and still provide
proper width for pedestrian travel, but there is a desire to include aesthetics if possible. If
this involves planting, irrigation lines and a meter may be required.
Given the complexity of the design and the need for formal drawings both for bidding and for the
Caltrans encroachment permit, staff solicited requests for proposals from four design consultants.
ANALYSIS
Consultants are busy and three consultants decided they could not properly staff the project at this
time. A typical response was, "Once we looked at the project it was not as straightforward as we
thought and we do not have staff availability to support it." Staff ultimately received one
proposal.
The cost of completing the work as set forth in the proposal is $56,300 and includes 406 hours of
engineering time. There is an optional item for an additional $6,380 for a survey if needed. If the
New Morning Cafe building plan survey is sufficient an additional survey will not be needed.
project. Nonetheless, staff believes it is wise to fund the entire cost of the design including
survey in order to keep the project on track.
The cost seems reasonable, but staff notes that this only assumes one response to comments from
Caltrans, which, in our experience, is optimistic. The consultant's schedule has the bid opening
occurring in early April.
The 2016/17 CIP included $30,000 for this project as a placeholder. The design cost is $62,680.
At this time, there are so many variables in the project that staff cannot confidently provide even
a preliminary estimate of total project cost. We can provide a cost estimate at 60% design once
the issues are a better defined. Staff considered starting this project with a pre -design study
(similar to what was done with Mckegney Green) to determine issues, approaches and costs, but
the schedule will not allow that if we are going to build next summer.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
At this time, there is not a definitive agreement with the owners of New Morning Cafe regarding
the sharing of costs for this project. Staff recommends beginning the necessary design work, and
then approaching the property owners once we have a preliminary cost estimate for the work.
The 2016/17 CIP included $30,000 for this project as a placeholder. This funding came from the
Street Frontage Improvement Fund and essentially emptied that fund.
The total proposed design cost is $62,680 (less $6,380 if no survey is required). The FY 2016-
2017 Budget included $30,000 for this project, therefore, an additional $32,680 is needed for the
design work as proposed. Additional funds would come from Gas Tax Reserve Fund, which staff
estimates will have a $1.2M balance as of 6/30/17. Staff notes that there is another project being
considered by Council today (curb ramps) that would utilize $120,000 from the Gas Tax Reserve
TOWN OF TIBURON PAGE 2 OF 3

November 2, 2016
Fund. If both of these are funded, staff estimates the balance in the Gas Tax Reserve Fund as of
6/30/17 would be approximately $1.05M.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
1. Move to increase the CIP budget for the New Morning Cafe Frontage Project by
$32,680 to a total of $62,680.
2. Move to allow the Town Manager to enter into a contract for the design of the New
Morning Cafe Frontage Project to Harris and Associates in an amount not to exceed
$62,680.

Section 4. Project Work Plan
Project Understanding
The Town of Tiburon, in coordination with the
property owner of New Morning Cafe is planning
to reconstruct the sidewalk in front of the Cafe,
on Tiburon Boulevard side, in order to improve
pedestrian access by creating a wider path of travel.
Based on visiting the project site, reviewing the survey
information provided for reference and as noted in the
RFP, few important project elements to consider are:
• Existing grades between the Cafe and adjacent curb
are very flat, which will require special attention to
drainage
• Presence of a large AT&T vault, a PG&E box and
two water meter box that will have to be relocated
• Obtaining encroachment permit from Caltrans
• Coordination with private property improvements
• Obtaining CEQA clearance
The completed project must meet Town, Caltrans and
utility agency standards. In addition, due to working
with a private property owner, the design should
take the Cafe construction into consideration. Harris
is well suited to assist the Town with this project
because our team has successfully designed various
projects that involve obtaining encroachment permits
from Caltrans, coordinating utility relocation efforts
with various utility agencies and coordinating with
property owners for many agencies including Tiburon.
Project Approach & Methodology
The successful completion of a project lies in the
planning and management of often complex process.
Harris understands the importance of working with
the property owner and various stakeholders in order
to have a successful project.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT:
Project Manager Siva Natarajan will be responsible
for managing the project and the project team from
inception through preparing final construction
documents; assisting Town staff during the public bid
process, provide design support -to Town's construction
manager and/or inspector during construction.
Siva's project management tasks include:
• Serving as primary point -of -contact with the Town
• Managing in-house staff and subconsultants
• Coordinating efforts with various stakeholders
• Monitoring progress of individual tasks and
coordinating completion of work products
• Monitoring task budgets and project schedule
• Performing day-to-day administration
Every month, a brief progress report will accompany
each Harris invoice. It will include current budget and
schedule status, any design issues and next steps.
Deliverable: Progress reports and invoices.
KICK-OFF MEETING:
The Harris team will meet with Town staff to discuss
project details, confirm the scope of work and review
the project schedule and budget. This is a good
opportunity to establish goals, discuss availability
of existing project documents, conceptual designs,
format of deliverables and clarify responsibilities of
each party. Following the meeting, we will prepare
meeting notes that will include project team's contact
information, action items and an updated tentative
schedule.
Deliverable: Meeting notes, contact list and tentative
schedule.
Harris & Associates, Inc Section 4. Project Work Plan 5
PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING: to file with the Marin County Clerk and the State
Information Gathering:
The Harris team will gather available existing
background information of the project site, such as:
•Existing topographic map and survey data
• Preliminary design data including any conceptual
design
• Existing record maps and as -built plans
•Right of way and property data
•Town contract documents
This activity will require assistance from Town staff
in researching documents and resolving design
parameters and project issues. Harris will prepare a
list of requested documents and coordinate with Town
staff to obtain information.
We understand that existing topographic and right of
way data will be provided by Town for use in design.
We will use the information provided by Town but
cannot be responsible for errors or omissions in the
data. If there is any difficulty for Town in acquiring/
using the available survey data for this project, our
subconsultant LCC Engineering & Surveying can
prepare the topographic base map and right of way as
an optional service.
Deliverable: List of requested documents.
Field Investigation: The Harris team will perform a
detailed site reconnaissance to review/verify existing
conditions such as sidewalk features, utilities, and
drainage conditions. Existing curb ramp located
in front of New Morning Cafe will be evaluated to
address any necessary safety or accessibility upgrades
to bring the facility to current design standards.
We will also review existing traffic conditions to
determine how pedestrian traffic should be handled
during construction.
Environmental Permits: It is anticipated that
the project will quality for a Class 2 Categorical
Exemption (CE) from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). Harris will prepare a
memorandum documenting the rationale for the
Town's administrative record. The memorandum will
include a brief project description, the qualifications
for a CE, and the project findings in support of a CE.
Harris will prepare the Notice of Exemption (NOE)
Harris & Associates. Inc
Clearinghouse.
Deliverable: Project memo and Notice of Exemption.
Utility Coordination: Town staff have already
contacted the three utilities that serve this area. Harris
will continue the coordination efforts by:
• Sending utility notices to all three agencies to
inform about the project
• Request their facility maps to verify existing vaults/
boxes and service mains
• Provide tentative project schedule and anticipated
time of construction
Harris will identify locations to relocate the utility
vault and boxes. The preliminary locations will be
coordinated with the respective utilities to gather their
input. New meters may be required due to potential
relocation of the water laterals. In that case, we will
include notes in the drawings and specifications that
will require the contractor to coordinate the effort
with MMWD and at the request of Town, provide a
plumber to tie into the new service.
Deliverable: Preliminary utility letter and Notice to
owner.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN (60% SUBMITTAL):
Design Memo: Harris will prepare a design memo
based on input gathered during the kick-off meeting
and information gathered during preliminary
engineering phase. The memo will briefly summarize
the approach taken to arrive at the preferred design
and if any alternate options were considered.
60% PS&E: Harris will prepare 60% Design plans,
preliminary estimate of probable construction costs
Section 4. Project Work Plan •' 6
and outline specifications. Harris will obtain the latest
version of the Town's specifications to use in this
project. This level of plans will include the Title sheet
and Site Plan that will show the extent of proposed
improvements and conceptual layout of the sidewalk
and curb ramp. The locations to relocate existing
utilities that were identified during the preliminary
engineering phase will also be shown on the plans.
The PS&E and design memo will be submitted for
review by Town. Prior to each submittal, all plans
and documents will be reviewed internally by Harris'
Quality Manager, Jasmine Cuffee. Following review,
we will meet with Town staff to discuss comments on
the preliminary design. Final design will not proceed
until the concept is approved by the Town.
Access Easement: We understand that Town is
already is discussion with the Cafe owner and that the
owner is a partner in the project. Harris will assist the
Town to obtain temporary Rights of Entry to perform
work within the limits of private property. Harris will
identify the limits of impact to private property and
prepare the necessary forms and exhibit showing the
area of work. This will allow Town staff to negotiate
with the property owner and obtain signatures from
all parties involved.
Utility Coordination and Environmental Clearance:
Harris will coordinate with all three utilities by
submitting the 60% plans for their review along
with a `Notice to Owner' letter to each utility agency
requesting their facilities be relocated per design and
in accordance with the franchise agreement.
We expect that all environmental permitting would be
complete by this time.
Deliverable: Design Memo, Three (3) sets of plans
(34"x22") and preliminary opinion of construction
costs along with a one copy of outline technical
specifications. Plans will include:
• Title Sheet
• Demo Plan
• Site Plan (Grading and utility relocation)
• Construction Details
DETAILED DESIGN (90% SUBMITTAL):
Once Town has had an opportunity to review the 60%
submittal, Harris design team will meet with Town
staff to review the comments. We will then prepare the
Harris & Associates, Inc
90% submittal after resolving and incorporating any
comments based on the meeting. All comments from
the 60% submittal will be resolved prior to submitting
the 90% plans.
The 90% submittal will be submitted to Caltrans
towards obtaining an encroachment permit to
perform work within the right of way. Harris will
complete all necessary applications and coordinate
with Caltrans staff to secure the encroachment permit.
DeIiverable: Three (3) sets of plans (34"x22") and
opinion of construction costs along with a one copy
of technical, specifications (6) sets of plans to Caltrans
Encroachment Permit.

STAFF REPORT

Subject:
Reviewed By:
Mayor and Members of the Town Council
Office of the Director of Public Works
Sta f update on FY 2016-2017 Storm Drain Inspection, and request to
a orize Storm Drain Repair Project design phase.
BACKGROUND
In 2008, the Town completed a Storm Drain Master Plan (SDMP). Regarding the condition of
the storm drains made of corrugated metal pipe (CMP), the plan states, "Several corrugated metal
pipes placed in the 1940s and 1950s (estimated) have failed or are failing and are in immediate
need of replacement." The economic life of CMP runs from 20 to 40 years, depending on
environmental conditions. Failure is normally defined as the first perforation of the pipe.
Virtually all CMP storm drains in Tiburon are over 40 years old.
The Town began cleaning and inspecting selected storm drain lines in 2011. The Town has
identified 854 storm drain pipe segments. Prior to this year, 162 segments had been cleaned and
inspected, with reports on 116 pipe segments. Of the inspected CMP segments with reports, 47%
were found to have serious defects and were repaired or replaced.
In the FY 2016-2017 CIP Budget, Council approved $130,000 in funding to clean and inspect
over 70 CMP segments this year. The list of pipes to be inspected changed significantly from the
time the CIP Budget was adopted until the work was completed. First, Public Works staff looked
at many of the remaining CMP segments in advance of the contract being written and found
many lines listed in the SDMP were not CMP. Then a number of additional CMP lines were
found by Public Works that were not in the SDMP. This is noted as we have determined that
perhaps as many as 75% of the pipes in the storm drain masterplan may be incorrect with respect
to at least one descriptive element, such as material, size or location. Ultimately, the contractor
inspected a total of 50 line segments.
ANALYSIS
Of the fifty lines inspected, twenty (40%) have major defects, that is, holes in the pipe. Two of
these are on private property and were not dedicated to the County or Town leaving eighteen that
need to be repaired or replaced. Others storm drain pipes have minor defects and exhibit signs of
wear consistent with their age. Staff believes repair of these pipe segments can be delayed to
future budget years. We do note, however, that when it is possible to simply line a CMP storm
drain, there is considerable savings if the work is done prior to a hole developing.
TOWN OF TIBURON PAGE 1 OF 3
Town Council ?Iiiin;
Nint II I i•r 2. 2016
Of the eighteen CMP segments that need repair now, ten segments, totaling 949 feet, should be
increased in size, which requires complete replacement. The other six segments totaling 932 feet
can be repaired by grouting and lining. Grouting and lining may be less expensive depending on
the location of the segment. This will be determined during design.
Based on the last four storm drain projects completed in Tiburon, and information on recent bids
from projects in other Marin jurisdictions, staff estimates the total cost of replacement and/or
repair of all 18 CMP segments will be approximately $550 per linear foot, or $1.1M. It is
important to note this estimate is preliminary, and will be refined throughout the design process.
A list of the 18 CMP segments identified with major defects is provided in the Table 1 below.

included in the FY16-17 Budget ($125,036).
If Council wishes to proceed with addressing the CMP segments with major defects, staff will
take the following steps:
1. Develop and issue a Request for Proposals to develop a biddable set of Plans and
Specifications for the proposed project scope.
2. Return to Council for consideration to award contract for the design work.
3. Once bid set is complete, staff would bid the project and return to Council for
consideration of the award of a construction contract, and authorization for any required
budgetary transfers.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
1. Receive staff report on status of Storm Drain Inspection process.
2. Authorize staff to issue a Request for Proposals for the design work associated with
repairing, or replacing, the 18 CMP segments listed in Table 1 of the Staff Report.

Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
There are numerous Tiburon General Plan policies supporting robust pedestrian facilities for all
users. Policy C-8 specifically states, "The Town shall remove barriers, where feasible, to allow
people of all abilities to move freely and efficiently throughout the Planning Area, with the
highest priority given to areas that are near Downtown or in other flat areas."
Caltrans is developing a project to address ADA deficiencies on certain locations along 131 in
Marin County. The project is funded by Caltrans for the locations within the State ROW.
Caltrans has asked if we want to include additional locations outside of the State ROW in the
project. The additional work at these locations would be coordinated by Caltrans, but be funded
by the Town.
About 7 locations lie outside state ROW in Tiburon, between Mar West and Main Street. One of
these is the corner of Juanita and Tiburon Blvd near the New Morning Cafe and is part of another
project Council is considering this evening. The other six ramps are at the following locations
and depicted in the attached maps:
1D — Tiburon Blvd and Mar West
lE — Tiburon Blvd and Mar West
3A —1680 Tiburon Blvd
5A — Tiburon Blvd and Main Street
5D — Tiburon Blvd and Main Street
5E — Tiburon Blvd and Main Street
Caltrans estimates the cost of this work at $140,000 which includes:
PS&E (Design Support) - $22,500
Row Support- $0
Row Capital- $0
Construction Support - $22,500
Construction Capital Cost -$95,000

ANALYSIS
Three of these ramps are large and difficult. The construction estimate is reasonable based on
recent work done along Tiburon Blvd. Staff believes that a consultant designer would need to
charge more to design the project. Caltrans has some economy of scale in completing the work
as the contract will include 20 to 40 ramps along 131 and 101. Further, any designer hired by the
Town would need to add the work required to get a permit from Caltrans.
Staff recommends directing Caltrans to include the Town portion of the work in their larger
project, as we believe it will be the most efficient way to complete the work.
If Council approves and funds this project, Caltrans will draft a cooperative agreement to capture
the cost sharing for our review.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The FY 2016/17 CIP included $20,000 for curb ramps and sidewalks. The additional $120,000
would come from the Gas Tax Reserve Fund.
Staff notes that there is another project being considered by Council today (New Morning Cafe)
that would utilize $32,680 from the Gas Tax Reserve Fund. If both of these are funded, staff
estimates the balance in the Gas Tax Reserve Fund as of 6/30/17 would be approximately
$1.05M.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
1. Approve additional funding in the amount of $120,000 from Gas Tax for curb ramp
upgrades.
2. Allow the Town manger to execute the cost sharing agreement with Caltrans once
finalized.

Municipal Code to Adopt by Reference and with Modifications the
Lates State -Authorized Construction Codes; File MCA2016-04;
Intra ' uction of Ordinance
Reviewed by:
e .
BACKGROUND
Approximately every three years, the State of California adopts updated uniform construction
codes and allows local government agencies limited latitude to modify those codes by ordinance.
Local agency modifications may provide for requirements that are more restrictive, but not less
restrictive, than the state -adopted codes. The new state codes will go into effect on January 1,
2017.
The draft ordinance before the Town Council contains the Town's proposed adoption of the most
recent State of California -authorized construction codes, with modifications for local conditions,
and ratifies the two local Fire Districts' adoption of the 2016 California Fire Code and any other
fire -related codes adopted by those Districts.
ANALYSIS
There are few substantive changes to the standardized construction codes during this cycle that
involve the Town's localized amendments.
During the most recent code adoption cycle in 2013, the Town of Tiburon chose to adopt those
portions of Tier 1 of the CalGreen Code that it could lawfully adopt. Those provisions will be
carried over with the 2016 CalGreen Code. The energy efficiency provisions of the California
codes are now sufficiently robust that the Town no longer needs to adopt its own separate
enhancements, so those provisions are being deleted.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS
Adoption of this ordinance is ministerially exempt from the requirements of CEQA per state
statutes.

842
843 Section 3. Findings Pursuant to Health & Safety Code.
844
845 A. California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5, 17958.7, and 18941.5
846 require that findings be made in order to change or modify building standards found
847 in the California Building Standards Code based on local climatic, geologic, or
848 topographic conditions. Therefore, the Town of Tiburon hereby finds that these
849 changes or modifications to the Building Code as adopted herein are reasonably
850 necessary because of the following local climatic, geological and topographical
851 conditions:
852
853 1. Climatic conditions:
854
855 a. Most of the annual rainfall in Tiburon occurs during the winter, it receives no
856 measurable precipitation between May and October. During this time, temperatures
857 average between 60 and 85 degrees. These conditions eliminate most of the
858 moisture in the natural vegetation and heavily wooded hillsides. The area also
859 suffers periodic droughts that can extend the dry periods to other months of the year.
860 These conditions can be further exacerbated by occasional off -shore hot, dry, Santa -
861 Ana winds.
862 b. Most of the annual rainfall in Tiburon occurs during the winter, and some portions
8 6 3 of Tiburon are subject to tidal influences, there are times that flooding conditions
864 occur in low-lying areas.
865 c. Tiburon is situated within a densely populated major metropolitan area (the San
866 Francisco Bay Area) that generates and releases into the atmosphere significant
867 quantities of greenhouse gases, which have detrimental effects to the local climate
868 as determined by the State of California.
869
870 2. Geologic conditions:
871
872 a. Tiburon lies near several earthquake faults, including the very active San Andreas
8 7 3 Fault and the Hayward Fault, and there are significant potential hazards such as road
874 closures, fires, collapsed buildings, and isolation of residents requiring assistance.
875
876 b. Much of the Downtown commercial area is located on bay alluvial soils, which are
877 subject to liquefaction in the event of an earthquake.
878
8 7 9 3. Topographic conditions:
880
881 a. Much of Tiburon is located in steep, hilly areas; many of the residential areas are
882 heavily landscaped; and many exist adjacent to hilly open space areas which are
8 8 3 characterized by dry vegetation and have limited access. In addition, the steepness
Town of Tiburon Ordinance No. 566 N. S. DRAFT
Effective --/--/2016 Page 24
884 of grades located in the hills and dales results in narrow and winding roads, and
885 limited water supply.
886
887 b. The major arterial route between Tiburon and U. S. Highway 101 is Tiburon
888 Boulevard (State Highway 131). Should that highway become impassable, the only
889 alternative roadway on and off the Peninsula is Paradise Drive, a narrow, winding
890 road easily subject to closure in storms and having an extensive history of lane
891 failures due to unstable soils and poor drainage. This would result in traffic
892 congestion, severely limiting emergency access.
893
894 B. Adoption by Reference of Tiburon Fire Protection District and Southern Marin Fire
895 District Findings:
896
897 The Town Council further adopts by reference all applicable climatic, geological,
898 and topographical conditions findings of the Tiburon Fire Protection District and the
899 Southern Marin Fire Protection District in their most recently -enacted ordinances
900 adopting and modifying the California Fire Code and other related codes.
901
902 C. The above modified building standards are listed below with the corresponding
903 climatic, geological or topographical condition which necessitates the modification.

909
910 Section 5. Severability.

913 reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of a Court of competent
914 jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the

mile per hour speed limit for wheeled vehicles or devices on Old Rail
Trail; ;Fi1 1MCA2016-05; Introduction of Ordinance
BACKGROUND
Electric bicycles (e -bikes) have become increasingly popular in recent years and the trend is
likely to continue. The technology has improved sufficiently that these types of bicycles can be
used by a larger segment of the population with ease. In fact, a business selling and renting e -
bikes recently opened in downtown Tiburon.
In reviewing the Town's municipal code regarding use of vehicles on Town paths, including Old
Rail Trail, it became clear that electric bicycles of the kind frequently seen today were not
envisioned when the Town's pertinent regulations were adopted over 20 years ago. The proposed
code amendments seek to bring the Town's local provisions up to date with current electronic
bicycle regulation and with definitions now used in the California Vehicle Code. The proposed
amendments would also establish a 15 mile per hour speed limit for wheeled vehicles or devices
on Old Rail Trail, superseding the current "unsafe speed" standard.
ANALYSIS
Current Municipal Code provisions regarding Town bicycle and pedestrian paths prohibit use of
"non -motorized vehicles" with limited exceptions such as official Town vehicles and emergency
vehicles. Regulations for the multi -use path (now called Old Rail Trail and renamed throughout
the proposed amendments) specifically list the types of vehicles that may be operated on it,
including "Pedal -powered, non -motorized bicycles or tricycles with a width of not more than
thirty-six inches and used for recreational purposes".
Arguably, all electric bicycles could be prohibited under the current Town regulations, depending
on how strictly one interprets the regulations. Fortunately, the Vehicle Code now includes
definitions for various classes of electric bicycles, and guidance charts are now available

indicating how the various classes of electric bicycles relate to the various classes of bicycle lanes
for operator use (see Exhibit 1).
The proposed amendments (shown in redlined format in Exhibit 2) follow the guidance provided
in the Vehicle Code and the chart. In addition, for safety purposes, the amendments propose a 15
mile per hour speed limit for wheeled vehicles and devices on Old Rail Trail, replacing the
currently vague "unsafe speed" standard. Electric bicycles and exclusively pedal -powered
bicycles can achieve speeds in excess of 15 miles per hour. Staff expects that electric bicycle
users will either not feel the need to use the electric motor on the level Old Rail Trail, or will
throttle back to a reasonable speed within the 15 mile per hour limit when on Old Rail Trail.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS
Adoption of this ordinance is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Sections 15301 and 15061(b)(3).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Following a public hearing, staff recommends that the Town Council:
1. Hold a public hearing and consider any testimony.
2. Move to read by title only and introduce the ordinance (Exhibit 3) amending Title VI, Chapter
23 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic) of the Tiburon Municipal Code, waiving further reading.
Hold a roll call vote on the introduction. The item would return for adoption at the next
regular Town Council meeting.
