The town itself lost no power however from the Caprice Restaurant on north on paradise drive there was no power for two or more days! The problem is quite simple and I am hopeful that you will exercise your authority to solve it. There are (2) two sets of 20,000 volt power lines feeding Tiburon town. One comes down Tiburon Blvd and the other down Paradise Dr from Corte Madera through the Forrest Primeval and they meet at the Caprice in the middle of the street where there is a cutoff switch run by PG&E. When there is a short on the Paradise line due to limbs falling (and they fall all the time even on a clear day) on the overhead 20.000 volt line running through the Forrest, the circuit breaker switch at the Caprice disconnects from the Paradise 20,000 volt line leaving the down town area unaffected whereas everything from the Caprice north on Paradise Dr is without power! Now we do have a lot of trees over here in the banana belt but ALL power lines are underground from the intersection of Paradise Dr and Mar East (north end). So......why not move the ever lovin breaker switch from in front of the Caprice to this intersection and we can join with the rest of our brothers and sisters who reside in greater Tiburon in praising our good fortune in living in such a wonderful Town unencumbered by the ravages of the weather or other unfortunate adventures common to the upper Paradise Dr community. If money is a problem I'm sure a contribution can be had as we did in putting flowers In the center divide of Tiburon Blvd. Sincerely; ;g~~ DIGEST Town ofTiburon · 1505 Tiburon Boulevard · Tiburon, CA 94920 · P. 415.435.7373 F. 415.435.2438 · www.ci.tiburon.ca.us January 29, 2008 Mr. William Miller 2079A Paradise Drive Tiburon, CA 94920 Dear Mr. Miller: Thanks for your letter of January 23, 2008. Your description of the power source problem in the Old Tiburon neighborhood is on target, and I particularly appreciate your good humor about an annoying topic. This issue is a sensitive one and has been raised by others in your neighborhood as well. Residents there are understandably unhappy about paying for and enduring the undergrounding process only to have reliability still compromised by the external power source arrangement. We have discussed the problem for some time now with PG&E and have pressed them to switch to the downtown circuit. PG&E representatives expressed their intent to do this, but said that it may take a year or so to accomplish. They posited that it can be an involved process that takes time and advanced budgeting. Fortunately, we have recently learned that our efforts to speed up the process may be bearing fruit, and that PG&E may make the switch as early as this February. We cannot promise this delivery time, since we do not control the outcome here. (My ability to "exercise my authority", as you put it is, alas, sadly minimal; we do not regulate or otherwise control the private utilities that serve the town.) We can, however, assure you we will continue to press PG&E until success is achieved. Thank you for getting in touch. Best regards, p~;;i!lan ~ P.S.

TO: Mayor and Town Council FROM: Scott Anderson, Director of Community Developmen~ Nick Nguyen, Director of Public Works ~ " Peggy Curran, Town Manager e ~ SUBJECT: Open Space Management & Broom Committee Update DATE: February 1, 2008 ............ ..... ............................ The current fiscal year budget allocated $30,000 for various open space management objectives, including invasive plant removal, fire road rehabilitation, and creation of an open space management plan. The fire road rehabilitation work was successfully completed in the autumn of 2007. The fire road rehabilitation work was seen as the most important step in fire safety prevention that could be completed in the short term. Staff and the volunteer "Broom Committee" of Allan Littman and Eva Buxton have also identified localized areas of critical concern where immediate action is recommended to prevent the loss of rare and endangered plants by invasive plant species. We believe that this situation would likely be shown as "top priority" under any management plan prepared for the Town, due to the fact that these plants are federally protected and the threat of loss is real and growing. Cost estimates for the work have been secured and staff intends to engage workers to remove the most threatening of the invasive plants at their interface with the federally-protect species. Staff has also been working with the Broom Committee to address issues of managing the approximately 260-acres of Town-owned open space on the Peninsula. After some research, Staff has concluded that an appropriate open space management plan will require funds and expertise beyond that available in-house and in the current budget. In the next few months, Staff intends to release a Request for Proposals for preparation of such a plan so that the costs of preparing the plan may be better understood in time for the next budget cycle.

I appreciated your explaining the process of repaving streets, and was glad you had already looked at our street, Meadowhill, so you could see its poor condition. You agreed that our street is in very bad shape. You suggested I put in writing my concerns, and said you would put this note in your file, so that you would have it when the process comes up, in February, for streets to be approved and scheduled. I am requesting that Meadowhill Drive be put on the schedule for street paving to be done in 2008. You agreed that it probably shouldn't be patched again, but resurfaced. Here is the history as I explained to you. In 1998-99 I called the Town to find out when our street was going to be repaved as there were lots of pot holes and was getting bumpy, and uneven. I was told we were on the list for upcoming resurfacing. About 2 years later, when I called again to ask when it would be done, it was explained to me that the Town was trying to prevent Tiburon streets from getting to the "failing" state, and that priority was being given to those streets first. I was told that our street was going to take more work to repair as it was in a poor condition, so would now be on a later list. In other words, it was already failing. A couple years ago, Lyford drive and Venado were repaved. While the work was being done, I called the Town to find out why Meadowhill wasn't being done also, as our street was in about the same condition as Venado. The Director P.W.looked up the paperwork, and told me that neither Meadowhill nor Venado were on the list to be done. (However Venado was being done anyway. It was apparently approved to be done even though it wasn't on the scheduled list). I was disappointed. I knew that a past mayor and council member lives on Venado. When I read in the Ark last Fall that failed streets were being resurfaced, and Bartel was being done, I assumed our street was finally up for repair/resurfacing also. Our street was in almost the exact same condition as Bartel. I called you and you explained the process by which streets are assigned their pavement condition index, and how the process works through the Town. You told us that our street had been evaluated in 2005 and had a pavement condition index then of 44. Meadowhill has greatly deteriorated in each of the past 3 years. From the top of Meadowhill past my house at #37, the street is in bad shape - bumps, holes, pavement separation, large cracks in the street, etc. It has gotten much worse in the past two years. You can't even drive down each side of the street, without having to weave around the bumps, holes, unevenness, etc. I am requesting that you put our street on the list for resurfacing for 2008. From our conversation, I understand that this would be the "human element" by which you put the road up for consideration, and then the Town Council must approve it. I will check back with you in late February to see if you have been able to evaluate our street and submit it for approval to the Town Council to be repaved. Thank you again for your time in evaluating our street and in the explanations you have given me. Diane Bradford ~ &a jJo~ DIGEST ~, ...a.. tl....."..

DATE: January 25,2008 DIGEST RECEIVED JAN 28 2008 TO: Members, Local Agency Formation Commission TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE TOWN OF TIBURON FROM: Peter Banning, Executive Officer SUBJECT: Executive Officer's Report and Recommendation: Proposed Reorganization of the Lands of Thompson & Brooks Including Detachment from Sanitary District #5 and Annexation to the Richardson Bay Sanitary District (File #1291) Summary This reorganization proposal requests the detachment of 1.07 acres from Sanitary District #5 and annexation of the same territory to the Richardson Bay Sanitary District (RBSD). The site is developed with one existing single-family residence. The proposal area is located in the Town of Tiburon on Hacienda Drive south of its intersection with Acacia Drive. The purpose of the proposal is to replace the on-site wastewater system of an existing residence with connection to the public sewer. The most direct and efficient connection available to the property owner is to the RBSD sewer in Wilkins Court. The proposal area is shown in red on the map below. The present service area of RBSD is shown in green, Sanitary District #5 is shown in yellow and the boundary of the Town of Tiburon is shown as a dashed red line. Staff recommends approval. ~ ( Chairperson: Jeffry Blanchfield Members: Susan Adams, Einar Asbo, Barbara Heller, Charles McGlashan, Dennis 1.

District No Change No Change Comments of Mfected Agencies Richardson Bay Sanitary District: The District has consented in writing to the proposed annexation and waived protest proceedings. Sanitary District #5: The District has consented in writing to the proposed annexation. Marin County Environmental Health Services (EHS): The EHS departmental report notes the failure of the septic system on a neighboring parcel and poor soils and steep slopes in the area. The applicant must obtain a permit to abandon the existing septic system. Discussion & Analysis The owner has applied for detachment from Sanitary District #5 and annexation to the Richardson Bay Sanitary District in order to replace an on-site wastewater system with District sewer service. The property proposed for reorganization was included in the J ansheski annexation to Sanitary District #5 last year. The property is located at the top of a ridge and can connect by gravity to either RBSD or Sanitary District #5. However, attempts to obtain access easements to connect to the new sewer in Paradise Drive have been unsuccessful. Connection to the RBSD sewer in Wilkins Court is the closest and most economical point of connection available. Annexation of this area to RBSD will not facilitate construction of additional housing units as the area is developed to the extent allowed by current zoning in the Town of Tiburon. Both of the affected sanitary districts support the proposed reorganization and have submitted written consent and waiver of conducting authority proceedings. Environmental Review This proposal is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15319 of the State CEQA Guidelines which provides exemption for annexations involving areas developed to the density allowed by the current zoning.
