C. ANNOUNCEMENT OF CLOSED SESSION ACTION ur any)
Mayor Gram said the Council would meet in closed session at the end of the meeting.
D. PUBLIC OUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
Town Manager Kleinert proposed adding an item to the agenda on an emergency basis. He said
that the California Transportation Commission had told the Town that in order to gain approval
of grant funding for the Waterfront Area Improvements, the Town would have to adopt a
Resolution showing that it had authorized additional, local matching funds. Kleinert said the CTC
was meeting the next day in Lake Tahoe and the resolution, if passed, must be adopted tonight.
Town Attorney John Sharp cited Section 54954.2 of the Brown Act as legal authority for this
emergency action.
The Town Council unanimously voted to add the item for consideration at the end of the agenda.
On another matter, resident Gus Strotz asked for a response from Council to his previous inquiry
about increasing the rate of undergrounding of utilities within the Town limits.
Town Council Minutes #1/95
July 19, 2000
Page /
Councilrnember Matthews asked Mr. Strotz whether he was suggesting that the Town form its
own utility district. He replied that it might be a necessary step to take if other avenues were
unsuccessful.
Vice Mayor Thompson also informed told Mr. Strotz that he was actively working with the other
Marin cities and towns to increase the rate of undergrounding of utilities during the current round
of Rule 20A rulemaking hearings before Judge Carol Brown. He said that a letter in support of
this concept had been sent to Judge Brown.
Mayor Gram thanked Mr. Strotz for his comments but said the Council could take no action on
the matter during the present meeting.
E. COUNCIL. COMMISSION & COMMITTEE REPORTS
Councilmember Bach, speaking as the Town's representative to the Marin Telecommunications
Authority, reported that A TT Cable had been bought by Media One, and that all the
representatives the Town had been working with had been fired. He commented that it was the
fourth or fifth change of ownership for the [local cable] company since he had been on the
Council.

Councilmember Hennessy asked that Item NO.3 be removed from the Consent Calendar. She
expressed concern that joining the City of Long Beach in its lawsuit against the Fair Housing
Foundation of Long Beach might somehow be a statement against fair and affordable housing,
which she advocated.
Town Attorney John Sharp said that although there was little detailed information contained in
the Amicus brief request, it appeared that the lawsuit was for the purpose of protecting the City's
right to terminate a contract with an agency that had not fulfilled its contract provisions with the
City. At Councilmember Hennessy's request, Sharp offered to obtain and provide more
information at the next Council meeting.

I. PUBLIC HEARING
7) 36 SOUTHRlDGE WEST - Request by Town Council for Modification to As-
Built Deck - (Continuation of June 7, 2000 Appeal Hearing of Design Review
Board Decision to Town Council) - AP No. 34-311-11 - (Lalita Waterman,
Applicant/Appellant)
Vice Mayor Thompson recused himself.
Associate Planner Theriault said that at the June 7,2000 meeting, the applicant, Mrs. Waterman,
had been directed by Council to make modifications to an as-built deck and resubmit the plans
that included a variance associated with excess lot coverage. Theriault said Mrs. Waterman had
also erected story poles and ribbons showing the changes to the deck and had provided a
landscaping [mitigation] plan.
Ms. Theriault said that the Planning Department Staff would still like to have more complete data
on the lot coverage at 36 Southridge west. She said the current plans showed 200 feet of the
deck as being three feet from grade. Theriault recommended that a representative of the applicant
actually do the measurements in the field so that the Town would have correct data for its
records.
In response to a question from Council about lot coverage data submitted, Adam Gardner,
representing Dick Hunt [Hunt Hale Architects, the Waterman's architects] said he had not
personally done any measurements.
In response to a question from Councilmember Hennessy on the discrepancy between the original
plans and current plans, Mr. Gardner said [the current plans showed] the previously existing deck
being built to meet the new as-built deck.
Town Council Minutes #1195
July 19, 2000
Page 3
Mayor Gram asked if a particular current set of plans was correct. Mr. Gardner answered
affirmatively.
Councilmember Hennessy asked ifhe would measure the deck and distance from grade. He said
he would do so.
Associate Planner Theriault confirmed that the revised (current) plans showed the correct length
of the deck.
Neil Sorensen, attorney representing the Watermans, said his clients had followed Council's
suggestion and planned to cut off "just under eight feet" of the deck. He said their structural
engineer had said the comer could not be cut from "post to post" as recommended by Council
due to a denigration of structural integrity. Nevertheless, according to Sorensen, there were still
sufficient findings for a variance in this case.
Mayor Gram opened the public hearing.
Andrew Thompson, 18 Southridge West, said the matter should be continued because the
applicants still had not submitted the data showing the correct height of the deck [from grade].
He also said that some of the neighbors could not be present who had wanted to comment
because no notice of[ the current] hearing had been sent out.
Mr. Thompson said he appreciated the story poles, but that what people in the neighborhood were
still upset about is what the Staff was concerned about, that is, the deck not conforming to the
[Town's] three-foot rule, and continued misrepresentations by the applicant.
Thompson further stated that "snipping the comer" of the deck did not make that much
difference, and continued misrepresentations, whether intentional or not, continued to frustrate
some people in the neighborhood.
Attorney Sorensen responded that he had been unaware of any errors in the plans up until now,
but that there was no change to the [curr cnt] area over three feet. He said the applicant was only
cutting off a comer to the deck and that the other data on the plans was not changed. However,
he suggested that the Council could require figures [specific data] in its final approval.
Mr. Sorensen said his clients had already presented their case and that it was not important
whether or not the deck was taken back to the three-foot line because of the findings presented,
as well as the finding for a variance under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Mayor Gram closed the public hearing.
Mayor Gram said the Town wanted to receive the numbers [specific data] within the next few
days.
Town Council Minutes #1195
July 19, 2000

Councilmember Bach said the Council's concern was [removal of] the comer of the deck and that
he "was not happy" with the way the applicant proposed to cut off the comer in the current plans.
He questioned whether a structural problem really existed.
Bach said he had specifically requested a 45-degree cut from post to post. He said the 45-degree
angle would closely follow the contours of the hillside and would lessen the view impacts from
neighboring properties.
Councilmember Bach said the Council had "lived with the other part of the deck" but that he
would not accept the current proposal. He also said he appreciated receiving up to date drawings
but that he noticed a skylight that was not there before and that he would not approve that either.
Councilmember Matthews said his opinion was close to Bach's but that he was not quite as
troubled by the [cut of the] deck because the proposed landscaping would help to camouflage it.
Matthews asked how far off the cut was. Councilmember Hennessy said it was supposed to be
from "post to post." Councilmember Bach said that the comer was what was in the view angle of
the other homes and that it was important to remove it. He said it would take years before the
shrubbery would get to the deck railing height.
Council discussed the size of the shrubs. Mrs. Waterman's letter stated they would be 25-gallon
size Council questioned whether they were 25 or I5-gallon containers. The applicant said they
would be 15-gallon size.
Mayor Gram said he agreed with Councilmember Bach that the deck must be pulled back more
than was shown on the proposed plans.
Mrs. Waterman replied that she had done what her structural engineer recommended but that she
would be willing to do what Council asked. However, she said it would require cutting off part of
a structural beam. She said she had submitted a letter to Staff, dated July 5, that addressed this
Issue.
Mayor Gram directed Mrs. Waterman to take that action and return to a continued hearing so that
Council could have time to look at the plans again. He said the Council wanted to make sure the
changes were satisfactory and that a new post ( story pole) should be erected.
Mrs. Waterman said the post could be erected the following day, but she asked for a continuance
until September in order to take care of family business out of town in August.
Council agreed to a continuance to September 6,2000.

Planning Director Anderson said that both the Planning Commission and Heritage & Arts
Commission recommended designation of the Lyford House as a Local Historical Landmark. He
said the second part of the report was to show the Town's support for this landmark's inclusion in
the National Register of Historic Places.

10) A VENIDA MIRAFLORES MEDIAN STRIP LANDSCAPING - (Request by Del
Mar Valley Property Owners' Association for Portion of Town Water Allocation)
Finance Director Stranzl gave the Staff Report. He presented two options for Council
consideration in order to accommodate the request of the Del Mar Valley homeowners to
reconnect the Town water meters in the Avenida Miraflores median strips for landscape
maintenance.
Stranzl said the first option would be for the Town to allocate a portion (approximately a third of
an acre foot) of its water allocation to the median strips; the second would be for the Town to
request a portion of the Reed Union School District's water allocation at the Town's cost.
Stranzl said the latter might be preferable in that an existing back flow valve was located on the
school property directly adjacent to the median strips.
Superintendent of Public Works Iacopi confirmed this fact, noting that he used to work for the
Reed Union School District. He said he though there was an adequate supply of water at that
location.
Town Council Minutes # 1 1 95
July 19, 2000
Page 6
~
Iacopi said it would cost the Town substantially more money to install its own back flow system
and file for an approved landscape plan from MMWD.
Councilmember Hennessy asked who would maintain he landscaping once the water was
reconnected. Town Manager Kleinert said he thought that a drip irrigation system would be
installed.
Town Manager Kleinert said that he had had preliminary discussions with the School District's
Business Manager, Jeri Johnson, which were positive. However, he said that the District wanted
to check their current water allocations before recommending approval of the request. He
recommended exploring this option.
Councilmember Thompson said "full speed ahead" to the proposal to enter into a cost-sharing
arrangement with the School District.
Mayor Gram opened the public hearing.
Valerie Bergmann, Del Mar Valley homeowner, said there were bits and pieces of information in
the Staff report that were "conspicuously absent," such as the answer to her question about how
the Town was using its current water resources. She made reference to a June 12 letter she had
submitted to the Town.
Mayor Gram asked how that information would affect the Council's decision. Ms. Bergmann
replied that she thought the Town was shifting a Town responsibility on to the School District and
that she had already determined that it was illegal for the School District to sell water to the
Town.
Mayor Gram asked Town Attorney Sharp to look into the aforementioned legal issue.
Ms. Bergmann also questioned what would happen if the School District decided to take back the
proposed water allocation. She said the homeowner's group was "not going to come back" to
the Council and that they did not want to get "whip-sawed around."
Finally, Ms. Bergmann passed out a document she said she had received from MMWD, which
showed the different Town water meter locations and usage. Finance Director Stranzl said he also
had the document in his possession and had summarized the information about the Town's total
water allocation in his report.
Mayor Gram suggested that Ms. Bergmann put in writing what she thought was missing from the
Town's report.
Priscilla Tripp, former Del Mar Valley resident, said common sense told her that since the median
strips belonged to the Town, they were also the Town's responsibility. She suggested the use of a
water truck as a third option.
Town Council Minutes #1195
July 19, 2000
Page 7
Ted Wray, Del Mar Valley resident, said they had already looked into that suggestion and had
determined that the cost was prohibitive.
Superintendent of Public Works Iacopi said he was sympathetic to the Del Mar Valley
homeowner's concerns. He recalled that a former resident, Mirella Abbo, had made a deal with
the previous Superintendent (Lou Brunini) that the homeowners would take over the maintenance
of the median strips from Public Works in exchange for being able to plant what they wanted
there. Iacopi commended them for a beautiful job.
Mayor Gram said the homeowners had already agreed to maintain the strips if the Town would
reconnect the meters and provide water.
Item continued to August 2, 2000.
11) PROPOSITION 12 - Safe Neighborhood Parks Act - (Status of Funding)
Town Manager Kleinert reported that no criteria had yet been established by the State for
Proposition 12 funding. Council noted the item and thanked Staff for "staying on top" of the
funding status.
J. STAFF & TOWN MANAGER REPORTS
12) LEAF BLOWERS - (Oral Report by Town Manager)
T own Manager Kleinert said he had recent several recent inquiries pertaining to the banning of
gas-powered leaf blowers by the Town. He noted that the Council had adopted an ordinance in
1995, which limited the use of such blowers to the hours of8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday. Kleinert recommended no change to the ordinance at the present time. Council
concurred.
Council also directed the Town Clerk to put information about common Town ordinances that
affected everyday life, such as construction hours, leaf blowers, and animal control, in the next
Town Newsletter.
K. COMMUNICATIONS
None.

MEETING DATE: 8/16/2000

To: TOWN COUNCIL
From: SCOTT ANDERSON, PLANNING DIRECTOR ~
Subject: CHANDLERS GATE AT TIBURON (FORMERLY NED'S WAY GARDEN
HOMES) PROJECT REQUEST FOR GRANT OF 5 -FOOT WIDE DRAINAGE
EASEMENT ACROSS TOWN-OWNED PROPERTY UPSLOPE; 58-151-27
Date: AUGUST 9, 2000
BACKGROUND
The Town Council has granted all necessary Town permits for construction of the Chandlers Gate
project, and site work began the week of August 7th.
During preparation of the subdivision improvement drawings, it became apparent that a small
drainage easement would be required upslope from the rear wall of the upper set of duplexes.
This area has been previously been established as a 30-foot wide landscape buffer area. It is
anticipated that a concrete V -ditch will be located in the easement, entirely screened by the
landscaping within the landscape buffer.
The 5-foot wide drainage easement is an essential element of the project as designed. The
easement area comprises only a small portion of the 30-foot wide landscape buffer area that has
been granted to the project across the Town-owned parcel directly upslope. Granting of the
drainage easement would not cause any foreseeable problems for future use of the Town-owned
parcel, as it would be part of any reasonable setback area established for a future use.
This is a ministerial action and is exempt from CEQA.
RECOMMENDA nON
That the Town Council adopt the Resolution (Exhibit 1) granting the drainage easement.

REASONS FOR SELECTING THE PlANNING COMMISSION AS AN AREA OF INTEREST:
My interest in serving on the Town of Tiburon's Planning Commission arises from my high
regard for this community and from my special interest and experience in real estate.
My wife Patricia and I moved here 3-1/2 years ago from the Palos Verdes peninsula in
southern California where we had lived for ahnost 40 years. We had always had a very
special feeling about the Town of Tiburon. We have been pleased to have found that the
quality of life here and character of this community have far in away exceeded our
expectations.
In short, we now live here, we enjoy a wonderful life style here, we enjoy the beauty of our
surroundings, we are the beneficiaries of the work that others have done to have made the
Town of Tiburon what it is today. I would therefore like to make a contribution to this
community to the extent that I can.
I am also no longer actively engaged in my profession, and I am able to devote time to
serving this community by endeavoring to contribute to its general welfare.
My interest in serving on the Planning Commission is also related to my specific interest and
involvement in the real estate industry. I have been an attorney for the past 37 years,
specializing in commercial real estate development and other real estate matters for the last
32 years. I have also owned and/or developed residential, commercial and office properties
during that time.
APPLICABLE QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE:
I have been a real estate attorney for the past 32 years. Attached is my resume which
outlines my activities and engagement in the real estate industry.
I have been, and continue to be, an owner, developer, redeveloper and manager of
commercial, office and residential properties. Please see my resume for an outline of these
activities and interests.
In my capacity as an attorney, applicant and homeowner's association president, I have also
had the opportunity to appear on many occasions before Planning Commissions, City
Councils and other governmental agencies in various cities and counties in California.
I have served as President of the Lunada Point Homeowner's Association.
I served for 10 years as the attorney for the Redondo Beach Redevelopment Agency.

STAFF REPORT
August 16,2000
TOWN COUNCIL
RICHARD STRANZL, FINANCE DIRECTOR
A VENIDA MIRAFLORES MEDIAN STRIP LANDSCAPING (Request of Del
Mar Valley POA for Town Water Meter Reactivation, Water Allocation)
ITEM:
7
MEETING:
TO:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND:
This item is for approval of a cooperative TownlPOA plan to reinstate Town water meters and
reallocate water from existing Town allocations to the landscaped median strips located along
Avenida Miraflores near Del Mar School.
DISCUSSION:
The property owners have proposed a cooperative arrangement wherein the Town and POA
would share costs and maintenance responsibilities for these median areas. The POA has
proposed to maintain the landscaping if the Town reactivates and pays for ongoing water usage.
This item has previously been discussed at the regular Town Council meetings of June 7, 2000
and July 19,2000. At the June 7th meeting Staff recommended review and study of the Town's
MMWD water allocations. At the July 19th meeting Staff discussed a recommended option to
work with the School District to implement the project. This item was continued pending
resolution of issues concerning reliable water delivery to the medians.
On July 28th Staff met with the President of the Del Mar Valley POA to discuss the project. The
POA indicated their preference that the Town be the lead and primary agent in the project. The
POA expressed concerns that arrangements with the School District offered no long-term
assurances that water would be available, and finally, that they preferred to pursue an agreement
with the Town to provide water to the medians.
Toward that end Staff has consulted with MMWD concerning the Avenida Miraflores medians
and the Town's discontinued/inactive water meters, MMWD has indicated the following:
(1) The Town may reinstate 3 existing meters at a cost of approximately $150 per meter.
(2) Because landscaping exists, the Town will not be required to submit a certified landscape
plan for MMWD approval. This results in cost savings of $5,000 to $7,000.
(3) The Town is required to install back flow devices at each meter, at a cost of $400 to $600
per device.
AvenidaMirajlores Media1l3' Water
Town Council Meeting of August /6, 2000
J
Public Works Staff estimates the cost to install a drip irrigation system at approximately $4,900
(this is the cost to the Public Works Department, if an outside contractor is utilized the cost is 2
to 3 times greater.)
Administration Staff estimates ongoing water usage costs at $300 to $400 per year.
RECOMMENDATION:
With respect to the Avenida Miraflores Median areas, that Town Council approve of the plan to:
o Reinstate 3 Town water meters
o Reallocate 0.333 AF from existing Town water provisions to the reinstated meters
o Install a drip irrigation system to serve each median
With the understanding that the Town will defray ongoing water costs, and the POA will maintain
annual planting, pruning, and gardening needs. The POA has indicated that it will contribute
$2,000 toward construction and installation of the drip irrigation system.
Total estimated project costs are $7,000.

TOWN OF TIBURON
MEMORANDUM
UPDATE:
Since the Town Council meeting ofJuly 19th, Staff met with Joan and Jim Wilson of the Del Mar
Valley Property Owners Association (DMVPOA) to discuss the 2 options most recently
presented to Council:
(1) The Town reallocates water from existing allotments to the medians, and
reinstates meters
(2) The Town enters into a cooperative arrangement with Reed School Union
District to tie into the medians by using their water service allocation and
existing bacldlow device
Joan indicated that the DMVPOA is concerned that, with respect to Option (2), there is less
certainty, and it is entirely possible that the School District could rescind its water allocation to
the medians leaving the DMVPOA where it is today - in a position to again ask the Town for
water. The DMVPOA therefore prefers Option (1), to work directly with the Town to reinstate
Town water meters and solidifY an arrangement to provide water to the medians.
Toward that end Staffhas contacted MMWD to discuss reinstating existing water meters,
backflow device requirements, median landscape requirements, and other related issues.
Staff hopes to resolve the important questions concerning this project in advance of the regularly
planned August 16,2000 Town Council meeting.

To: TOWN COUNCIL
From: SCOTT ANDERSON, PLANNING DlRECTOR~
Subject: DOG WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEM IN PUBLIC PARKS: ADOPT PROGRAM
AND BUDGET FOR FY 2000-01
Date: AUGUST 11,2000
BACKGROUND
For several months, the Town has been considering options for improved collection and disposal
of dog waste in the public parks, including the Richardson Bay Lineal Park multi-use path.
A brief history of the debate is as follows:
. Two disposal systems (Mutt Mitt and Dispoz-a-Scoop) were reviewed by the Parks and Open
Space Commission at meetings on November 9, 1999 and February 8, 2000. The
Commission voted to recommend the Dispoz-a-Scoop system at that time. (Refer to Exhibits
1 and 2). The recommendation and purchase request were referred to the Town Council for
its review
. At its regularly scheduled meetings on February 2, 2000 and July 5, 2000, the Council
reviewed the two systems and discussed the initial and ongoing costs associated with the two
systems (refer to Exhibits 3 and 4). The Council remanded the item to Staff for a cost
analysis of the two systems and for a better estimate of the cost of Mill Valley Refuse
collection of the waste cans in the Town's parks.
. Additional research on various dog waste collection systems is obtained and a new (much
lower) estimate of Mill Valley Refuse collection changes (Exhibit 5) is received. The Town
Manager directs that the item be referred to Parks & Open Space for recommendations, then
on to the Town Council.
The major attributes of a dog waste collection system are: sanitary conditions for those collecting
the waste; effectiveness of use; cost; and aesthetics.

PARKS AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION REVIEW
The Parks and Open Space Commission reviewed the revised cost analysis and the two disposal
systems at its August 8, 2000 meeting. The Staff Report for that meeting is attached as Exhibit 6.
Upon further review, the Commission concluded that both proposed systems previously
considered (Mutt Mitt and Dispoz-a-Scoop) have serious flaws that cannot easily be overcome.
· The Mutt Mitt fails because it is not easy to tie, leading to leakage problems and unsanitary
conditions for the collectors (currently Public Works personnel).
· The Dispoz-a-Scoop fails because it is difficult to use properly, is very expensive, and does
not work for large fecal deposits.
Instead, the Commission recommended that plastic bags be purchased from the companies that
supply newspaper distributors These plastic bags cost 2-3 cents each and come on cardboard
dispensers that could be attached to wooden posts. The bags are long enough (at least 2 I") to
easily tie after pick-up
The Commission unanimously recommended that the Town proceed on a trial basis with three or
four such simple installations and a limited number of plastic bags. Small signs attached to the
posts would ask people to pick up after their dogs and tie the bags closed.
The Commission also learned that the City of Belvedere's four Mutt Mitt dispensers require about
26,000 bags per year, or an average of about 6,500 bags per dispenser.
ANALYSIS
Planning Department Staff has discussed the latest information and POSC recommendation with
the Public Works Superintendent. The main issue for the Superintendent is that sanitary
collection of the wastes be achieved The simple system recommended by the Parks & Open
Space Commission, if successful from a sanitary collection standpoint, would be acceptable.
However, if dog walkers fail to properly tie even the longer newspaper bags, the health issue will
not be resolved. In that event, the Town has the option of contracting the garbage pick-up
service to Mill Valley Refuse, which has provided a written annual cost estimate of$23,704 for
the service An earlier (oral) ballpark estimate from Mill Valley Refuse was $70,000 per year.

RECOMMENDA TION
. Staff recommends that the Town Council authorize a trial operation period of one year for a
limited number of dispensers (4 to 5) as recommended by the Parks & Open Space
Commission.
. The Town Council should authorize a transfer not to exceed $2,500 from the Park
Development Reserve Fund to the operating budget to cover the costs of the trial installation.

2. Dog Litter Problem in Public Parks (Public Works)
The problem of dog litter on the Multi-Use Path and in public parks was discussed at the October 12
meeting. It was agreed that the current sign/plastic bag system was ineffective and unattractive, and
staff was asked to research a better solution.

Public Works Superintendent Iacopi was present and showed samples of two systems. He explained
his preference for the "Dispoz-A-Scoop" from Petpro. That system has 100 scoops per box, while
the other has 800 per box. With the current maintenance schedule of three times a week, he felt it was
completely adequate and more cost effective to have the smaller number. He commented that this
type was used by a majority of the parks in Marin County. He was especially interested in the fact that
these scoops close, creating more sanitary conditions for maintenance workers than the current
system or the other brand. It is also a fast, clean, and easy method for the dog-owners.
Mr. Iacopi stated that 52 dispensers would be needed for the parks, Multi-Use Path, and parking lots
There are currently 40 locations, which would be replaced with the new system and others added to
make it as convenient as possible. He noted that the ones by the Marsh had been removed to
discourage dog-walking in that area.
Commissioner Sullivan stated that this would be cost effective even if the Town pays for the system,
because it should reduce the cost of keeping the parks clean. He thought some realtors may be willing
to sponsor these.
Commissioner Allen stated that this started with complaints from the homeowner's associations.
Perhaps they would sponsor as well.
Superintendent Iacopi stated that financially this system would be less expensive than the plastic bags
currently being used and in addition, they are waterproof and can be sealed If this cost was in the
budget, sponsorships would not be needed. The consensus was for the Town to budget this cost.
Commissioner Sullivan asked if there would be a problem with people taking the bags and using
elsewhere. Mr. lacopi thought that could not be controlled, but they had had very few problems of
that nature with removal of toiletry products from the new bathrooms. Mr. Sullivan wondered
whether the bags could be purchased in bulk. Mr. lacopi said that would present a storage problem
It was thought perhaps the Town could go in with another town to get a bulk price.
The consensus was that the Dispoz-A-Scoop system would be cost effective, sanitary, and much more
attractive than that currently in use, and would encourage owners to pick up after their dogs.
MIS CanterlEth (6-0) to recommend to the Town Council that the Town fund the installation and
maintenance of the Dispoz-A-Scoop system.

3. Wildlife Protection/Railroad Marsh Park
Chair Canter summarized the letter received from Ms. Hampton concerning the clearing of vegetation
in the Marsh, and invited Superintendent Iacopi to describe the process to the Commission.
Superintendent Iacopi stated that every four years the Town has enough money to maintain part of
the Marsh. They take pictures to determine where to window. This is not determined by resident's
or Town Hall's views, but is between the Flood Control District and the Tiburon Public Works

Commissioner Sullivan stated that after reading the item and the minutes, he would have sided with
Commissioners Em and Burgin, as he did not like to sign something without more information. But
after reading more on this issue in the papers, he now would endorse.
Others agreed that as they learned more about this, they felt that it would be a good measure, but they
felt that the resolution from the Town Council would be sufficient.

Dog Waste Control Receptacle Installations
Associate Planner Theriault stated that she had informed the Commission that the Town Manager had
approved the purchase of the waste-scoopers. However, he had changed his mind, as it was more
expensive that he thought and so had referred it to the Town Council to review in the budget process.
She noted the press coverage that had been received on the item since the Town Council meeting.
There were concerns about the type that had been decided upon and whether a thorough cost analysis
had been done. The Council will include in the Budget discussions in Mayor June Staffwill provide
a thorough cost analysis at that time. She said it was thought the bags selected were too small for
large dogs
Commissioner Sullivan commented on the $3,200 noted in one of the newspaper articles. Mrs
Theriault stated that the POSC talked about the per unit cost and 52 units at $90 is more than $3,200
Members of the public felt that the Parks & Open Space Commission didn't understand the costs
involved However, Alice Fredericks submitted a letter to the Town Council stating that she
personally understood the costs Mrs. Theriault noted that the other Commissioners may want to
submit their comments concerning the financial costs. She indicated to the public that the POSC was
aware of the costs and that they felt the costs were low enough to not need cost analysis for the other
product
Chair Canter stated that she felt they still were on the right track as Public Works was having a
sanitation problem She thought possibly 52 posts might be excessive and that perhaps 10 posts along
the bike path would suffice
,Commissioner Sullivan stated that he felt it was cost effective in view of the problems with the
current system with the bags blowing around in the wind and the extra manpower needed to maintain
Commissioner Burgin wondered whether the Town Council was aware of the other factors
considered besides cost. She stated that the Public Works presentation convinced her there were
other concerns than price Mrs. Theriault stated that Public Works had made a presentation to the
Council as well.

process during the project in order to assist the downtown merchants. Anderson said the ad hoc
review process would discontinue as soon as the project was completed.
Councilmember Bach said there were two issues: 1) additional street signage and 2) additional
signs in store windows. He said the Town had put up signs and that the Chamber of Commerce
was planning to erect a sign describing the project.
Town Engineer Schwartz added that the Contractor, Maggiora & Ghilotti, was also planning to
erect a sign with the dates of the project and their office telephone number.
Councilmember Thompson said is was a great idea to provide street signage but that some store
owners on Main Street had a history of making the street look "trashy" with window signage.
Vice Mayor said the sense of the Council was not to allow more storefront signage, but
Councilmember Bach said he thought the Town should help the merchants as much as it could
during the project.
Town Attorney Danforth asked how long the sign permit process normally took. Planning
Director Anderson said the Town could waive the design review portion of the process but keep a
log of "over the counter" approvals.
During public hearing, Mrs. Trieber said she and her husband had experienced a 75% drop in sales
and would have to close their store unless they could put up red sales signs.
Councilmember Matthews asked Council what the downside would be of granting such a request
for 90 days.
Councilmember Bach said the reluctance was due to past abuses of the Town's sign permit
process but said he thought it would be all right to allow the current request as long as the period
had a sunset and there were penalties attached. Councilmember Hennessy concurred.
Councilmember Thompson asked Staff to "keep it tasteful."
Mayor Gram asked Mrs. Trieber asked if the Town could count on them to remove the signs at
the end of the period. She said it would not be a problem.
Town Attorney Danforth suggested that Staff include an acknowledgment on the form that any
signs left up would result in a specific fine. Council concurred.
15) DOG WASTE DISPENSERS FOR TffiURON PARKS & MULTI-USE PATH - (Status
Report)
Planning Director Anderson said the Parks & Open Space Commission and Superintendent of
Public Works had recommended an initial $6,000 outlay to install 52 "Dizpoz-a- Scoop"

dispensers with bags in the Town's parks and along the multi-use path. He said the matter would
come before Council during the budget review process.
Mayor Gram asked whether the Town could adopt a dog-licensing requirement, which could help
defray the cost of installing and maintaining these dispensers. Town Attorney Danforth said she
could research the question.
During public hearing, Maureen Meikle, 45 Harbor Oak Drive, said she had received a grant from
the County Open Space District to study the problem of dog waste along the fire road in St.
Hilary's Open Space Preserve. She said she had looked in detail at the cost of installing the
"Dizpoz-a-Scoop" and said there were discrepancies in the Town's cost estimates. She said she
preferred the alternate bag considered by the POSe.
Mayor Gram agreed with Ms. Meikle that the "Dizpoz-a-Scoop" bags would not work well for
large dogs. Mayor Gram said he had been using regular "zip lock" bags for years and that they
worked well.
Ms. Meikle said that Bell Market currently donated plastic bags to the Old St. Hilary's Open
Space District and that Mill Valley Refuse Service had agreed to pick up the disposal cans free of
charge.
Superintendent of Public Works Iacopi said the Town needed to find a clean, safe solution for the
disposal of dog waste. He said the problem with regular plastic bags was that dog owners did not
tie them off and that they spilled open in the collection cans. He said his men were becoming sick
from the smell and having to handle runny waste when they collected and emptied the 48-gallon
cans. Iacopi said the Public Works Corporation Yard was beginning to smell like a dog kennel.
Mayor Gram said the Town wanted to do something about the problem by investigating a way to
pay for the new disposal system and to determine the best way to dispose of the dog waste.
Councilmember Hennessy directed Superintendent Iacopi to get a cost estimate from Mill Valley
Refuse to pick up the cans instead of having it done by the Town employees. Mr. Iacopi said the
last estimate he had received for a thrice-weekly pick-up was $70,000 per year. Councilmember
Hennessy asked for further analysis during the budget process.
16) HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE - Review of ABAG Regional Housing Needs
Determinations - (planning Director)
Planning Director Anderson said the ABAG study called for the Town to provide for up to 150
units by 2006. He said the last ABAB report in 1988 had called for 394, and stated that Staff and
the Planning Commission had not found the current numbers to be unreasonable.
Anderson said the Town would be required to zone property and have general plan provisions so
that this number of units could be built. He said that did not mean they would necessarily be built.

On the latter, Town Manager Kleinert said that there had been discussion of deferring the addition
of the Maintenance Mechanic to Year 2 of the budget until a master plan had been drawn up of
the new Corporation Yard which would show where the shop building would be located, etc. He
said that the Superintendent had requested an additional landscaper to be added to the budget as
an immediate need.
II. Town Manager Kleinert and Finance Director Stranzl talked of the need to build up the
Town's depleted worker's compensation fund reserves over the two-year period,
III. Town Manager Kleinert said that $150,000 was budgeted over the two-year period for an
update to the [Housing Element of the] General Plan, and Downtown Design Guidelines.

Superintendent of Public Works Iacopi said his only concern was for his men who had to pick up
leaking bags of dog waste. He said that if the Town implemented the new "pooper-scooper" bag
system, it would not be an issue. Council said it would discuss the matter further, but suggested
that Iacopi reformulate a work plan for his department in the event the Town chose to hire MVRS
for park garbage pick-up.

In describing the Capital Improvement Program, Town Manager Kleinert said that the Town's .
"street impact fee" resolution had generated substantial funds for street repairs, up $200,000 from
last year. Council directed Finance Director Stranzl to "zero out the fund."
Kleinert noted that there were some major drainage repairs that would have to be addressed in the
next two fiscal years, and that 23 street light poles were scheduled to be replaced in the
downtown area. Council directed Staff to have the streetlights replaced in one year rather than
doing it as a phased project.
Vice Mayor Thompson directed Staff to "study the new State budget" and report on grants and
sources of funding for the Town for items such as the repairs to the Multi-use Path.
Town Manager Kleinert said Staff would refum with a proposal for fund transfers in order to
maintain the Town's reserve goal of25% of the operating budget, or $1.1 million.

DOG WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION BUDGET ITEM
AUGUST 3, 2000
BACKGROUND:
During its recent budget discussions, the Town Council reviewed the Dog Waste Disposal System
item. Due to commentary supplied by the public, there was some confusion as to the Park and Open
Space Commission's recommendation on the item at that time. The Council has subsequently
requested the Commission to review the two systems again and the new cost information researched
by Staff.
COST ANALYSIS:
The Public Works Department is requesting at least 42 dispensers although a request for 52 units was
mentioned as the preferred number of installations during the February 2, 2000 Council meeting. This
figure would include installations in Town neighborhood parks, the Multi-use path and Shoreline Park.
Staff has performed a cost analysis for only 42 dispensers, however.
Dispoz-a-Scoop system.
This system is recommended by the Public Works Department in order to provide a more sanitary
solution for public works employees who are required to pick up the trash throughout the Town. The
Public Works Superintendent has indicated that the existing trashcans would be used in conjunction
with this system.
~ (.1i.~
Cost: 42 dispensers with poles, mounting hardware and signage would cost ~ + shipping
fees of $626.64 for a total cost of: 4,258.54
The bags would cost 19.2 cents per bag or $96 per case of 500 bags:

Mutt Mitt System.
This system is utilized by the City of Belvedere and recommended by two members of the public. The
bags associated with the system are larger but do not offer the more effective containment of the
Dispoza-a-Scoop system. Staff is recommending that if this system is chosen, that the dispensers be
purchased in conjunction with the pole-mounted waste bins offered in order to encourage dog owners
to deposit the dog waste into the dispenser waste bins rather than the public garbage cans. This would
provide a more sanitary option for the Public Works employees who are frequently exposed to the
contents of dog waste bags which open-up into the public garbage cans. The employees would also
need gloves for use in removing the trash bags as some residual waste is likely to remain in the cans.
Cost 42 dispensers with poles, mounting hardware, signage and waste receptacles would cost
$8,295 with the shipping fees prepaid for a total cost of: $8.295.00
The bags would cost 6.2 cents per bag or $49.75 per case of800 bags:
$373.13
If the Council chose to purchase this system without the attached waste bins the cost for the dispenser
would be reduced to $4,305.00. Dispensers plus one year's supply of bags would be $4,678.13.
The Council is also reviewing information regarding the possibility of hiring Mill Valley Refuse to pick
up the Town garbage. The Public Works Superintendent has indicated that this cost would be
prohibitive, however. According to the Superintendent's previous inquiry to Mill Valley Refuse, their
cost for annual Town garbage pick-up would be in ballpark of $70,000.00.
The health and safety of the Town employees would be another, unquantifiable, cost that really should
be considered in this analysis. Staff is recommending the purchase of the Dispoz-a-scoop system. This
system carries a slightly higher annual maintenance cost (although, given the scope of the entire budget
is still reasonable). An alternate suggestion would be for the Commission to recommend purchase of
the waste receptacles (trash bins attached to the dog litter facility and used for dog waste in lieu of
other Town trash bins) in the purchase of the Mutt Mitt system.
A letter from one of the Parks and Open Space Commissioners who voted on the original Commission
review of the dog disposal system item is attached. The letter explains that the difference between the
cost of the bags is minor enough that the Commission chose the option they felt would be more
hygienic for the Public Works employees to have to work with. Although the Commission may not
have had accurate information regarding the correct per bag cost at the time, they were informed that,
regardless of the system chosen, the cost would not exceed one to two thousand dollars per year.
Note: Invoices from Ihe companies which produce Ihe two systems are attached to this report. One oflhe product producers
(Intelligent Products) provided an estimate of the number of bags required for 42 dispensers dimng a one-year period. I
requested Ihis estimate based on Ihe higher traffic on the multi-use palh. She based her yearly estimate of eighIy thousand
(80,000) bags based on Ihe requirements of some larger municipalities and state parks). This estimate seems extremely off

the mark. According to the Public Works Superintendent's calculations, the amount of bags needed per year would be closer
to 6,000 bags for the requested 42 dispensers. Common sense would dictate that the latter, more conservative estimate is
closer to being accurate. And... if the Town runs out of bags during the first year and the Council elects not to fund additional
bags, recycled grocery store bags could be installed in the dispensers as a stopgap measure.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends for the Parks & Open Space Commission to review the two systems and the cost
analysis performed by Planning Department Staff and to make a recommendation to the Town Council
regarding the system preferred by the Commission.

RE: Bagging Dog Refuse
Dear Ms. Theriault
It has come to my attention that the Parks and Open Space Commission choice of doggie refuse
bags has become a topic of rumination and wonder. I wish to explain why the choice was made
since I served on the commission at that time.
Various members of the commission questioned the cost of the chosen bags as compared to
others, even calculating a projected expense that included consideration of cost of Public Works
personnel. The Superintendent of Public Works, Tony Iacopi, pointed out that, like plastic
produce bags, many commercial bags had the short coming of not having a positive seal that
operated easily and folks frequently tossed the open bags in and near the refuse cans. The result
was that the refuse cans and environs, especially in winter, were difficult to handle and especially
unsanitary to clean. A further problem was that when the cans were left open, as they sometimes
are, rain water added to the mix, making the cans both heavy and incredibly filthy.
I cannot speak for the reasons the other members of the Commission voted for the maligned
doggie bags that were chosen, but I can tell you the three reasons that I did.
1. The cost differential was negligible.
2. The cost would be offset because
a) the ease of sealing & handling made compliance by the public more likely
b) sealed bags make the job of Public Works in handling the filth a little safer and
and easier, perhaps resulting in some labor cost savings.
3. Finally, I felt if the cost of the bags were unconscionable to many, the decision could be
revisted the next time the bags needed re-ordering.
A reasonable alternative to our choice is, of course, a possibility. However, I feel strongly that the
personnel of Public Works are not really our public servants, but rather our public helpers. Ifwe
need to install the refuse systems because our citizens have difficulties cleaning up after their pets,
we can at least make the job of our helpers more sanitary, if not easier.

TOWN COUNCIL
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
MILL V ALLEY REFUSE SERVICE - PROPOSED PARKS PICK-UP
August 16,2000
BACKGROUND
During the recent FY 2000-2002 Town Budget hearings, the Town Council discussed the
possibility of hiring Mill Valley Refuse Service to do the Town's parks garbage pick-up in lieu of
the Public Works Department.
This discussion was a result of a recommendation by the Public Works Department and a
proposal by the Parks & Open Space Commission in January, 2000 to install a dog waste
receptacle system along the Town's multi-use path and in the Town park areas. Although a
decision was not made at that time to install such a system, it was determined that Public Works
Department personnel were encountering adverse health conditions by picking up garbage which
often contained unsecured dog waste.
As a result, Council directed Staff to determine the feasibility of adding the service to the
existing Mill Valley Refuse Service Franchise Agreement.
Staff determined that there would be an increase of approximately 35 cents (.35) per
month to the rate payer for such service by Mill Valley Refuse Service (see attached
correspondence from MVRS and memoranda from Superintendent of Public Works Iacopi and
Finance Director Stranzl).
RECOMMENDATION
1) The Public Works Department and Parks & Open Space Commission continue to
recommend the installation of a dog waste receptacle system in Tiburon's public areas.
Superintendent Iacopi has stated that his primary concern is for his men who have to
pick up leaking bags of dog waste. However, if a new dog waste receptacle system is
installed along the Town's multi-use path and parks which is successful, an
amendment to the Franchise Agreement with Mill Valley Refuse Service could be
deferred for a specific period of time in order to test the system; or

2) Council may want to proceed at this time and adopt an amendment to the MVRS
Franchise Agreement after a public hearing.

Dear Bob,
In accordance with the latest amendment to the Franchise Agreement, the increase we are
requesting for the July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001 rate period is the agreed upon three
percent (3%). Please see the attached comparison of current rates with the new rates.
Also, please note that if you wish MVRS to begin picking up Tiburon street cans, we
estimate this new service to be $23,704 per year. We have not incorporated this new
service into the rate application for this year. However ifwe do start we will ask to
recover the year's actual costs in the next rate application.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 457-9760.

TOWN MANAGER. ROBERT KLEINERT
SUPT. OF PUBLIC WORKS, TONY IACOPI
TOWN GARBAGE PICKUP - PUBLIC WORKS DEPT.
JULY 3,2000
Per our discussion at the Staff meeting ofJune 29, 2000, below is a breakdown of the costs and
manpower required for the Town's public garbage pickup. During the peak season (Spring-
Fall) the Public Works Department picks up garbage three times a week, and twice a week during
the Winter months. For purposes of this cost analysis, the Finance Department has given me a
figure of $27/hr. for labor costs.
PEAK SEASON
Three men @ $27/hr
Three men per day for two hours
Pick up three times a week @ $162/day
Monthly pick up - Four weeks @ $485/week
Total Peak Season - Nine months @ $1,944/mo.
WINTER
Two men @ $27/hr.
Two men per day for two hours
Pick up two times a week @ $108/day
Monthly pick up - Four weeks @ $216/week
Total Winter Pick Up - Three months @ $864/mo.
Annual Costs for Garbage Pick Up
$ 81.00
162.00
486.00
1,944.00
17,496.00
54.00
108.00
216.00
864.00
2.592.00
$20,088.00
It should be noted that the above costs do not include Sunday pick up, which is currently being
done by Denis Williams at a flat rate of $40 per week.
I have received a cost estimate from Mill Valley Refuse Service to provide the same garbage pick
up at an annual cost of$23,704. This would be an additional cost of$3,616 per year to have the
Town's garbage pick up contracted out. It is my recommendation that the Public Works
Department continue to provide garbage pick up, provided the new doggie bag system is
approved.

MEMORANDUM
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
The Town has received a proposal from Mill Valley Refuse Service (MVRS) to pick-up (collect
and dispose of) waste in the Town's streets and parks receptacles. This service is currently the
responsibility of the Tiburon Public Works Department.
