resolution:
(i) A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town ofTiburon
Adopting the Engineer's Report, Confirming the Assessment,
Ordering the Work and Acquisitions and Directing Actions with
Respect thereto - Town ofTiburon,
Lyford Cove Undergrounding Assessment District
Mayor Fredericks described the order of hearing and made the following announcement: "Those
homeowners who have nol yel submilled a ballot, or those who wish 10 change Iheir vole on Ihe
,
ballol already submitted, may do so al any lime up to Ihe close of Ihe Public Hearing. ". .
Director of Public Worksrrown Engineer Echols gave a brief Staff report outlining the history
and steps taken to form the district.
Joan Cox, District Engineer, Harris & Associates, touched upon the changes made to the final
Engineer's Report and outlined the method of assessment.
Ms. Cox said that the costs a~sociated with the formation of the district had gone down slightly
from the time the preliminary report was adopted, and the total project cost was now estimated at
$4,244,000.
She said that the special benefits were calculated on three factors--safety, aesthetics and
reliability. It wa~ determined that each property would benefit equally in the first two areas.
Ms. Cox said that reliability was calculated using the single-family residential parcel as the basic
unit of comparison. Each single-family parcel received one benefit point; multiple residential
properties were a~signed .7 points for each potential or actual dwelling unit (based on current
zoning) and non-residential properties were rated based on the average size single-family lot
within the district.
Town Council Minute" # 23-2tJtJ4
November 17, 2tJtJ4
Page 3
Thc Engineers also assigncd bcncfit points bascd upon the "highest and best use" of existing
properties and vacant lots within thc district, according to Cox.
Ms. Cox explained that assessment'tormula consisted of Safety Benefit Points + Reliability
Bcncfit P,oints + Aesthetics Benefit Points = Total Bcnefit Points. There were also somc
exceptions, such as portions of the district that had prcviously undergrounding their utilities (Mar
East Assessment District No. 83-1 and Linda Vista Assessmcnt District No. 1994-01). Thcsc
parcels were calculated separately, using reduced bcncfit points.
Ms. Cox noted that sincc adoption of the preliminary engineer's rcport, 10 propcrtics had bccn
reviewcd and their asscssments reduced and that one property in the Mar East District had bcen
reduced to zcro benefit points.
Vice Mayor Berger asked whethcr any consideration had been given to thc size of a property.
Ms. Cox said that parcels were revicwed to see whether thcrc was a potential for two units
(within the R-2 zoning designation) but noted tliat it had becn dctermined that some ofthe
properties werc in fad unable to support two units duc to their lot size.
Mayor Fredericks opened thc public hearing.
The following members of the public spoke:
. Steve Patterson, resident of San Rafael, owner 01'2078 Paradisc Drivc, said that his
property had four legal units but that he had been unawarc ofthe formation of the district
when he purchases the property in March 2004; said that beautification was not always a
factor taken into account when purchasing income properties and that he would bc unablc
to pass through the assessment to his renters; a~ked for rcconsidcration of his assessment
because his building was less than 3,000 squarc feet and that he was a "downhill" property
[with little view impact form poles and wires].
Mayor Fredericks said that the amount of the assessment was not a decision made by the Council.
Vice Mayor Bergcr commcnted that people who live in the neighborhood were, in fact, greatly
affected by thc totality of the views and that removal of poles and wires would make the entire
street more desirable and perhaps even incrcase rental valucs.
. Lawrence Livingston, 2311 Mar East, said the previous speakcr ncglected to mention the
effects of power outages on the area and said that there had becn three already so early in
the winter scason; said that reliability was a major factor in creating a livable environment
and was given due considcration in the engineer's report.

. Scan Eilcrs, 55 Linda Vista, said that his arca was Iitcrally "covcred" with powcr lincs
which concerncd him ifany one of them broke and camc down in the yard where his
children might be playing; said that there wcrc 8-10 powcr outages thc first year that he
and his family lived in thc neighborhood, and that they were without heat for three days.
. Jim Coggan, 2350 Mar Ea~t, 30-year resident, said he had never oncc seen a downed
power line and that the reliability issue might be a false assumption and create false
expectations; said that no water side propertics in the neighborhood had poles or lines in
their view and that the [assessment] mcthodology was "seriously flawed" and unfair.
. Ed Lynch 244] Paradise Drive, pointed out that property owners had "very little control"
over what kinds of equipment thc utility companies put on the power poles; urged the
audience not to let the opportunity "pass us by," because any delay would result in
increa~ed costs and the possibility of more poles and equipmcnt in the future.
. Knowles I-Iall, 2336 Mar East, downhill side, said that it was "ludicrous" to pay the samc
asscssment as the uphill neighbors, and said the mcthodology was "grossly unfair_,"
. Mark Cunningham, 2088 Paradise Drive, said he was against the cost allocation and that
he already paid "substantial taxes" on his duplex; asked why no [public] funds were
available to underground utilities; disputed that the utilities could "put polcs anywhere."
Mayor Fredericks said that the utilities could indeed place poles anywhere they wantcd bccause of
existence of utility easements across properties.
The Mayor said that "newer communities" were required by zoning laws to undcrground utilities
but that older ones had the above-ground infra~tructure which the residents themselves took on
the cost of under grounding. She pointed out that it was not a "tax."
Vice Mayor Berger concurred, adding that in thc newer subdivisions, the developers paid felr the
cost of undergrounding which was passed onto the buyers. Hc said that this sort of self-
assessrnen1 and bond funding was "typical" of how older communities got their utilities
undergrounded.
. Nico Dirkzwager, 2246 Mar East, said the assessment methodology was "peculiar" and
said that in Belvedere, there was a one-third/two-third split. She also complained ofthe
"blank check" she would have to writc for the lateral conncction.
Mayor Fredericks said that it was rcallyan "accident" that some people had poles or wircs in their
views and some did not due to the design of the (elel:trical) grid. She said that the engineers came
up with a assessment method that was less subjcctivc and more legally defcnsible, in this instance.

. Boh Ellsberg, 2250 Centro East, said that he had worked on other undergrounding
attempts in Lyford Cove 20 years ago and even as recently a~ 10 years ago; said that this .
was a much larger district and a "wonderful opportunity" to underground the "whole
neighborhood, not just a few hlocks." He added that most people would be very pleased
with,the success of the district fllrmation even though everyone was going to be happy
with the formula.
. Klaus Meinberg, 2275 Mar East, that while he sympathized with some of the downhill
neighhors that he supported the district formation. He relerred to a "latc mail" lctter from
Tom O'Neill which proposed forfeiting the suhscription deposits and give them to people
who really needed fmaneial assistance or were really opposed to the district.
. Marion Hinman, 2074 Paradise Drive & vacant lot, said she would ''take the $1,000;"
complained that she would not get any bene1it except "maybe fewer power outages."
Asked why the utilities companies didn't do the undergrounding "like they do in San
Francisco." Also expressed concern that she did not know where the new poles would be
placed and that she was certain people might not be happy with the placement.
. Suzanne Lincoln, 2420 Mar East, said she saw only uphill poles and that anyone who was
opposed to the district should just ''take a walk" through the neighborhood to visualize the
benefit; said that all the properties would increase in value with the district.
. 11 Wintersteen, 2315 Paradise Drive, 20 year resident, said he had lived through a lot of .
storms and had a broken power line on his property which had "sparked;" commented that
one of his neighbors, with a utility casement, had gone away for a week and had come
home to two poles instead of one on their property; said how "delightful" it was to walk
through the Linda Vista area which had already been undergrounded; that $20,000 was
really "not a lot of money," especially for those who had the benefit of Prop. 13
assessment on their homes.
. Patrieia Young, 2298 Paradise Drive, said that she was not opposed to undergrounding
hut rather the allocation of costs; that is was "unfair" to assign the same benefits to all.
. Mark Pressman, bond underwriter for the district, said that he had a lot of experience with
these kinds of districts and that the formulas used to calculate benefits were going to be
sUQjeetive in that they depeneded on the analysis of the engineers; said that different
districts had different formulas but that in his estimation, this was a "good stah" at fairness
for all the people involved. Gave an example of making the allocation higher fllr uphill
neighbors by $2,000 and less $2,000 for downhill neighbors; said that this would result in
a ditlerenee of$140 per year or roughly, $10 per month.
. Steven Mavromihalis, 220 Divso Street, said that he would "benefit enormously" from the
district; said that as a "luxury home" real estate broker, aesthetics made "all the

.
differencc" to buyers and that the overall cost was a "tiny fraction" ofthe value of homes
in this area; as much as thcy appreciate in a ycar' s time.
.
David Kirchhoff, 2290 Spanish Trail, 40 years, owncr ofa real estate appraisal company,
agreed, stating that in his experience, the undergrounding of utilities resulted in a 5-10%
increasc in value of homes, and said that this was confirmed in Stewart Drive, Hillhaven,
and Corinthian Island districts.
.
Joan Lombardo, 2165 Paradise Drive, and Liz Bird, 2205 Paradise Drive, district
proponents, said that they appreciated the Council's action in adopting the 1994 resolution
in support of under grounding of utilities districts; said it was difficult to please everyone
but noted that everyone agreed there would be improvements to the neighborhood if the
district moved forward. Thcy thanked the District Engincers for a "great job."
Mayor Fredericks adjourned the meeting to allow for ballot tabulation and to conduct the business
below (Itcm No.3 and Item No.5).
At the end ofthe recess, Mayor Fredericks re-opened meeting to Item No.4, Lylord Cove
Undergrounding Assessment. District.
The Town Clerk announced the results: 70% in favor; 30% opposed (based on dollars assessed--
$2,366,979 in favor; $1,001,731 opposcd). Of the 178 ballots received, 125 were in favor and 53

Planning Manager Dan Watrous reported that on November 3, 2004, the Town Council held a
public hearing on the appeal of the Design Review Board's decision to approve a Site PlaT! and
Architect~al Review application to construct a single family dwelling on property located at 79
Round Hill Road. At the meeting, the Town Council voted 4-1 to direct staff to prepare a
resolution partially granting the appeal. The Council imposed a condition requiring that tree
trimming and/or removal be performed to create a slot view or "window" from the appellants'
home.
Watrous noted that Council had received late mail from Mr. Rifkind, attorney for the owners of
79 Round Hill Road, opposing the proposed condition of approval of the resolution addressing
tree trimming/removal.
Len Rifkind, attorney for the owners of79 Round Hill Road, introduced Ray Moritz, arborist,
who was retained to look at the trees to be trimmed or removed.
Mr. Moritz stated that there wa~ concern over the removal of the two oak trees which are part of
the oak grove on the property. He noted the removal of the two stemmed oak may require the
removal of a third tree as they are entangled. He also noted the removal of these trees may cause
damage to the remainder of the grove due to possible wind damage. He recommended that the
trees not be trimmed or removed due to the possible spread of sudden oak disease.
Ron Oznowicz, owner of79 Round Hill Road, spoke in opposition of the proposed resolution,
stating that it would require him to create a possible view for the Sofuas' who had not had a view
before.
Mr. Rifkind stated the property owner did not find the condition of removal of trees satisfactory,
nor did he believe it was legally enforceable.
Councilmember Gram noted that ifthc Council did not approve the resolution before them, theY
would have to reopen the issue and might possibly require more stringent conditions. He asked if
that was the desire of the applicant. '
Mr. Rifkind replied the applicant was opposed to thc condition oftree removal and would like to
see the Council consider removing the condition.
Carl Weissensee, applicant, questioned ifthc condition was in fact giving Mr. Sofuas a view
easement over thc property at 77 Round Hill Road, which would impact the future siting of any
home on that property.
Councilmember Berger asked Mr. Sofnas ifhe could "live with" the resolution as written.
Mr. Somas rcsponded that he could.

"
. Mayor Fredericks asked Mr. Sofnas that ifhe would forcgo any legal action against the owner of
79 Round Hill Road ifa view was created by the rcmoval of the trees.
Mr. Sofuas responded he would, if the trimming was sufficient. He said that he would not be
satisfied if he was not given a view by the tree removaVtrimming.
Attorney Danforth recommended modifying the condition of approval to address the concerns of
the applicant, and that there be some reference that Mr. Sofuas would not challenge Council's
action. She stated it was not the intention to give anyone a view easement and the condition
would limit the number 9ftrees in question.
Mr. Rifkind stated he could not agree to anything that would significantly affect the siting ofthe
home on 77 Round Hill Road. He recommended wording that would limit the number oftrccs to
be trimmed to 2-3, as determined by Staff and an arborist, to gain views, and that Mr. Sofnas
would execute a document releasing his right to challenge this decision.
Mr. Rifkind stated he believed Council had made a good recommendation and would like to see
the draft language. He expressed his desire to have sufficient time to see how this language could
possibly impact lot 77.

FROM:
SUBJECT:
Proposed Public Works Department Reorganization and Related
. ;;;.::::~t . . . . . . . . . . .RE:I~~~~~:'~
MEETING DATE:
. . . . . . . . . .
At its November 17, 2004 meeting, the Town Council adopted the final engineer's report
confirming the assessment and ordering the work to be performed for the creation of the 228-
parcel Lyford Cove Utility Undergrounding District.
This represents the largest undergrounding district formed in the Town to date and based on the
Town's previous experience with the 85-parcel Stewart Drive Utility Undergrounding District, staff
anticipates a significant increased workload. Due to the popularity and success of the Lyford
Cove Utility Undergrounding District, staff anticipates the possible creation of several more
districts in the near future. These include the proposed 222-parcel Del Mar Valley Utility
Undergrounding District and the proposed 87-parcel Hawthorne Terrace/Pilgrim Heights Utility
Undergrounding District. Each of these could be created over the next 12 months.
During the Stewart Drive Undergrounding Project in 2001, Town staff absorbed the increased
workload associated with the project, which proved to be burdensome. The Town also relied
heavily upon John Kern, a civil engineer and property owner, who voluntarily "managed" many
aspects of the project. Having an on-site coordinator proved to be critical to the project's
success. During the initial formation of the Lyford Cove Utility Undergrounding District, the Town
devoted an extensive amount of staff time to this effort. Taking from these experiences, Town
Staff believes it would be able to provide a better level of current ongoing core services. as well
as better customer service to the undergrounding district by having a dedicated in-house staff
member to coordinate all aspects of the undergrounding project(s). Staff also alternatively
considered hiring a contract employee to perform the undergrounding coordination work but it
was determined that the quality of service would be much higher with an in-house employee.
Staff recommends retaining a full-time Project Coordinator to provide overall coordination of the
undergrounding project(s) with the newly created Lyford Cove Utility Undergrounding
Assessment District as well as any future districts that may be formed. Currently, and in the past,
this work has been divvied up primarily between the Public Works DirectorfTown Engineer,
Director of Administrative Services and the Town Clerk. The Project Coordinator would assume
most duties previously absorbed by Town Staff and be the Town's resident expert on all
undergrounding matters from the initial inquiry to the final completion of a project. Some of the
work that would be performed would include serving as the primary contact person for all
undergrounding questions, liaison between the Town and'the undergrounding district(s),
accounting of the finances of the district(s), as well as the overall construction management from
beginning to end. The full position description is attached as Exhibit B. The proposed salary
range for this position would be $4,400 to $5,500 per month. The position would be an FLSA-
'\..'
Town of Tiburon
STAFF REPORT
Exempt position and classified as Mid-management, Professional and Confidential Employee.
Exhibit A reflects the Public Works Department's proposed organizational structure,
In addition to the Project Coordinator, staff is also recommending increasing the Public Works
Administrative Aide (Exhibit C) position from part-time to full-time. The Town's present Public
Works Administrative Aide has provided her notice to leave the Town effective mid-January to
return to school full-time. When the Town created the Administrative Aide position to provide
support for the Town Engineer back in FY 2001/02, it was created as a part-time twenty hour per
week position. As designed, the position proved inadequate to support the activities of the Public
Works Department. Since this time, and with the anticipated increase in work load due to the
undergrounding project(s), it is apparent that twenty hours per week is insufficient to perform all
of the duties necessary for the position. '
Fiscal Impact
The final engineer's report for Lyford Cove Utility Undergrounding Assessment District allows
from the bond issue $180,000 in construction management and an additional $110,000 in .town
administration. The $110,000 in town. administration is to reimburse the Town for the staff time
spent to date with regard to all aspects of forming the district and the administrative overhead
necessary to complete the project. The $180,000 in construction management is provided for all .
expenses incurred after the creation of the district which includes construction management and
coordination as well as the accounting of the project. The Town proposes to use the $180,000 in
construction management for the creation of the new Project Coordinator position. This full-time
position would cost approximately $72,000 annually in salary and benefits as well as an
additional $7,000 (roughly 10%) in overhead.
In the FY 2004/05 adopted budget, the Public Works Administration and Engineering Budget
included funding for a part-time twenty hour per week employee at a total cost of $27,844.
Converting the Administrative Aide position to a full-time thirty-five hour per week would increase
the annual cost of the position to $45,290 ($17,446 increase per year) annually based on.the
current benefits and salary schedule for the position.
Staff is proposing to fund the Project Coordinator with monies from the bond sale of the Lyford
Cove Utility Undergrounding Assessment District as well as any future districts and to fund the
increased expense from converting the Administrative Aide to a full time position from the.
General Fund,
Budget Amendment
This budget amendment would fund both positions for the balance of the 2004/05 Fiscal Year
and will be brought before the Council to be fully funded for the 2005/06 Fiscal Year during ,the
annual budget hearings in June 2005.' .
.
Since it is unlikely that the Administrative Aide position would be filled any sooner than January
2005, the budget amendment request'for the remainder of the year would be $8,828. There

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ................ ,- . . . .
would only be minimal capital expenses for this position since there is already office space and
all necessary office equipment. Further, 'it is unlikeiy that the Project Coordinator position would
be filled sooner than February 2005, the budget amendment request for the remainder of the
fiscal year would be $29,372. It is also estimated that outfitting the Project Coordinator position
with various office equipmenUsupplies would be a one-time minimal cost of approximately $500
which could be absorbed in the current budget.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Town Council authorize:
1. The establishment of the position of Project Coordinator;
2. The increase of the Public Works Administrative Aide from part-time to full-time; and
3. A budget amendment in the amount of $38.200.

Heidi Bigall, Director of Administrative Services ~
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Request for Budget Amendment - Purchase and Installation of
Photovoltaic Panels - Town Hall Building ~
December 1, 2004 REVIEWEDBY:~
MEETING DATE:
At the regular Town Council meeting of October 6, 2004, Council received a presentation by the
Town Engineer and representatives of Cooperative Community Energy regarding the installation
of a 23 kilowatt photovoltaic system on Tiburon Town Hall. Council approved the project and
directed staff to return with a funding plan for the project.
The total cost of the project, including installation, is estimated at $182,839. This price will be
reduced by rebates of $69,609 from the State of California, for a net cost to the Town of
$113,230. In order to receive the maximum rebate available, the Town must enter into a
purchase agreement for the equipment portion of the project no later than December 31, 2004.
If the equipment is ordered after that date the amount of rebate to the Town would decrease by
$4,500. The Town Engineer has advised that the design plan for the project will not be impacted
by the equipment order. The final design will be submitted to the Council for approval in the New
Year.
Funding for this project was not approved in the adopted 2004-05 Municipal Budget. There are
adequate reserves in the Infrastructure and Facilities Fund to absorb the equipment and
installation costs.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to execute the exhibit
purchase agreement between the Town of Tiburon and Cooperative Community Energy for the
photovoltaic equipment for Town Hall in the amount of $76,690.57. It is further recommended
that the Town Council approve a budget amendment in the amount of $113,230 for the
equipment and installation costs to be funded by the General Fund Infrastnucture and Facility
Reserve.

Coun'cil heard a bricf presentation by rcpresentatives of CCE and discussed issues of design,
costs and rcbatc programs.
Mayor Frcdericks commented that although the pancls wcre not "beautiful." it was not a rcason
not to install thcm.
Chris Neider, CCE Ficid Representativc, said that unlike othcr projects undertaken by the Town,
this project would actually "put money in thc Town's pocket"

costs were actually recouped; CCE rcprcscntatives said that witb rising energy costs there rcally
was no good alternative. Thcy also said the projcctions presented werc "conservative" estimates,
in thcir opinion.
In a discussion of warranty and maintenancc, Dan Pelligrini, CCE President, said that the panels
had a 25-year warranty but would last for 40 years, and that they would need to be cicancd on a
regular basis, which required leaving an 8-inch space along the rooflinc lor someone to walk.
Vice Mayor Bcrger said it would bc visually preferable to have the panels comc to the edge ofthc
rooflinc but hc understood the reason for leaving a ,space.
. Councilmcmber Slavitz said that it would be nice to see cxamples of other installations.
Councilmember Gram askcd if any other public agencies in Marin County had similar
installations and were told that they did not
Dircctor Echols referred to an exhibit to the StalTreport which listed othcr public agencies
thrcughout the statc that had installed solar systems on public buildings.

has not yet been completed and will be presented to the Agency in the New Year.
