STATUS OF PROJECTS
Projects being (or to be) processed by the Town of Tiburon:
Amerippon (a.k.a. Parente Vista)----l 0 acres off Antonette Drive
In 2004, the Town Council certified an EIR for this property based upon a 5-lot project. The EIR
found significant unavoidable impacts would result from that project design. The applicants then
submitted a re-designed and scaled-back plan calling for four (4) homes. The property was
purchased by a new owner who has submitted revised drawings for two (2) homes on the site.
The project application is being revised to address water pressure and fire-flow issues raised by
the Fire District. A draft addendum to the certified EIR has been prepared but will need to be
revised to address the latest project revisions once they are finalized and submitted to the Town.
Town Project Planner: Dan Watrous
Tiburon Glen (a.k.a. Xanadu)----26 acres off Paradise Drive near Norman Way
The Town Council approved a Precise Development Plan for three (3) homes on this site in April
2006 and a Tentative Subdivision Map application was approved in March 2007. The applicant
is currently preparing to submit Parcel Map and Subdivision Improvement Drawings, including
off-site tree replacement/invasive plant species mitigation work along Paradise Drive and near
Gilmartin Drive.
Town Project Planner: Scott Anderson
Ling (a.k.a. Stony Hill Development)----5 lots on 5.6 acres at the end ofStonv Hill Road
A Precise Development Plan application for three (3) lots was approved by the Town Council in
March 2008. Staff anticipates that a Tentative Subdivision Map application will be filed within
the next several months.
Town Project Planner: Dan Watrous
Kol Shofar SYnagogue Expansion
The Town granted Design Review approval for this expansion project in March 2008. Staff
anticipates that a building permit application will be filed within the next few months.
Town Project Planner: Dan Watrous
Caprice Restaurant Expansion. 2000 Paradise Drive (Conditional Use Permit)
A conditional use permit application for approximately 1,000 square feet in additions to this
restaurant, including a partial third floor, was filed in November 2004. The application was
denied by the Planning Commission and appealed to the Town Council by the applicant. The
Town Council appointed an ad-hoc committee to mediate possible compromises, but the item
never returned to Council for a final vote and the appeal was subsequently withdrawn by the
applicant. A new and different application was filed in December, 2007. The new CUP
application calls for demolition of the existing restaurant structure and replacement by a new
restaurant structure to be hauled in by barge and lifted onto the site. Staffhas determined that the
project will require an initial study under CEQA and is awaiting the funds from the applicant to
begin the environmental review of the project.
Town Project Planner: Dan Watrous
Alta Robles (a.k.a. S.O.D.A./Rabin): 50 acres above Paradise Drive near Seafirth Estates
In March 2007, applications for prezoning and Precise Development Plan were filed for 14 new
homes on the 50-acre property. The draft Environmental Impact Report is underway for this
project.
Town Project Planner: Contract Planner Diane Henderson
Tiburon Court (a.k.a. Upper Trestle Glen): 3 homes on 13 acres of Trestle Glen Blvd.
The Town approved a Precise Development Plan for three homes on this 13 acre site in 2002. A
tentative map was subsequently approved. The new owners have now applied for the Parcel Map
and submitted the Subdivision Improvement Drawings for the project. The application is
currently incomplete but should reach the Town Council this year.
Town Project Planner: Scott Anderson
Lower Trestle Glen: 14 acres off Trestle Glen Blvd near Tiburon Blvd.
The new owners of this property have approached Planning Division staff and are preparing
application materials for (probably) three (3) homes on this site. A four (4) lot plan by a prior
owner was withdrawn in 2001. No applications are on file at this time.
Harbor Light Building Replacement. 20/22 Main Street
A conditional use permit to raze the Harbor Light Building at 20/22 Main Street was filed in
2007. A focused EIR is currently being prepared and is set for release in May, 2008. An EIR
was required because of the historic resource significance of the building, which was constructed
shortly after 1921.
Town Project Planner: Laurie Tyler
Paradise Drive Prezoning Applications
The Town recently received applications filed by eight property owners in the Old Tiburon and
Paradise Drive unincorporated area for prezoning of their properties by the Town. The prezoning
process would establish what Town of Tiburon zoning district (e.g., R-l, R-2, RPD) would apply
to properties in the event that they were eventually annexed into the Town of Tiburon by the
Marin Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO).
Town Project Planner: Scott Anderson
Projects being processed by the County of Marin
Easton Point (a.k.a. Martha Company)-approximately 43 units on 110 acres at the southeastern
end of the Peninsula
The owners of this property entered into an amended Stipulated Judgment with Marin County in
2007 that would allow a minimum of 43 units on half-acre lots on the property. As of this date,
the owners have not filed a development application with the County pursuant to the amended
Stipulated Judgment, although filing of the application was anticipated months ago.
County Proj ect Planner: Christine Gimmler
Sorokko----5 lots proposed on 16 acres off Paradise Drive
A Final Environmental Impact Report was recently released by the County of Marin for this
project. The Town entered into an agreement with the property owner regarding future
annexation of the property, which is unlikely to occur until the project is either constructed or the
lots created by the County. The Marin County Planning Commission has scheduled a hearing on
the Final EIR for June 23, 2008.
County Project Planner: Tom Lai
Salvatore-Swahn (a.k.a. Martha shore)----2 units on 15 acres off Paradise Drive
A Design Review application was filed with Marin County last year for a large single family
dwelling, a secondary dwelling unit, and a detached caretaker's unit on this property. The
application was recently withdrawn. It is believed that development applications will be re- filed
following the removal of numerous trees from the site.
County Project Planner: Jeremy Tejerian
Pan Pacific Ocean (a.k.a. Habitat for Humanity)----7 homes on 17 acres above Bay Vista Drive
Master Plan, Tentative Map and Precise Development Plan applications were filed with the
County of Marin for this parcel some years ago. The plan proposes three (3) large homes near the
upper reaches of the property (adjacent to the Tiburon Crest Subdivision at the end of Via Los
Altos), and four small affordable units (sponsored by Habitat for Humanity) near the intersection
of North Knoll Road and Eagle Rock Road. The project is currently being reviewed by the
Strawberry Design Review Board and has generated considerable neighborhood controversy in
the Bay Vista/Eagle Rock area.

Clarification of Conditions of Approval for Congregation Kol Shofar
Design Review Appeal; 215 Blackfleld Drive
Summary
On March 5, 2008, the Town Council heard and considered an appeal of a Design Review Board
decision to approve a Site Plan and Architectural Review application to construct additions and
renovations to an existing religious facility and day school (Congregation Kol Shofar) on
property located at 215 Blackfield Drive. After hearing public testimony, the Town Council
directed staff to prepare a resolution partially granting the appeal to add several conditions of
approval to the application.
The draft resolution was prepared and reviewed at the March 19 Town Council meeting. Prior to
and at that meeting, the appellants (Tiburon Neighborhood Coalition, or TNC) made several
suggestions for amendments to the draft resolution. The Town Council discussed these
suggestions and made several amendments to the conditions of approval before adopting the
resolution (Resolution No. 12-2008). No representatives ofKol Shofar attended the meeting and
therefore did not speak.
Since that time, representatives of Kol Shofar have notified the Town that they were unaware that
the resolution could be removed from the consent calendar and objected to the changes made to
the resolution at the March 19 meeting; they have requested changes to or clarification of several
conditions of approval of the resolution. After discussions with Kol Shofar, these concerns now
center on eight conditions of approval. This memo is intended to clarify these conditions of
approval.
Analvsis
Condition of Approval No.6
All skylights shall be bronzed or tinted and no lights shall be placed in the wells. All skylights,
clerestory windows and light shafts shall be equipped with blackout blinds that are to be closed at
sunset whenever the facility is in use. The blackout blinds shall be maintained in an operable
condition at all times.
Tnwn nf TiburCl!l
April 21, 2008
Kol Shofar Concern: Whether skylights, clerestory windows and light shafts need to be bronzed
or tinted in addition to the blackout blinds and whether the blackout shades were intended to be
required for the clerestory windows.
Staff Response: Tinting for skylights, clerestory windows and lights shafts is a standard
requirement for all Design Review applications and required under Section 16-4.2.7 (h) (Guiding
Principles in the Review of Site Plan and Architectural Review Applications) of the Zoning
Ordinance. This condition of approval was included in the draft DRB resolution and never
challenged the Board hearing on November 15,2007, or during the appeal hearing before the
T own Council on March 5, 2008. A review of the record of the March 5 Council meeting
indicates that the Town Council did intend that blackout shades be installed for all clerestory
windows and light shafts, in addition to the conditional use permit requirement to install blackout
shades on all skylights.
Condition of Approval No. 20
Space shall be provided within the enclosed loading area for collection of trash.
Kol Shofar Concern: Whether all trash enclosures need to be located within buildings on the site.
Staff Response: The plans approved by the Design Review Board indicate several exterior trash
enclosures around the site. The Board discussed the issue of nighttime trash removal from the
enclosed loading area adjacent to the multi-purpose building and determined that space should be
provided within the enclosed loading area to assist in the clean-up after events in the multi-
purpose room. Neither the Design Review Board, nor the Town Council at the March 5 meeting,
commented on or required the modification of other trash enclosures on the site. Therefore, the
other trash enclosures on the site may be constructed as shown on the approved plans.
Condition of Approval No. 22
The appearance of the annex building shall be improved by painting and landscaping to
complement the remainder of the project.
Kol Shofar Concern: Whether the landscaping shown on the submitted plans would be sufficient
to comply with the requirement to landscape around the annex building.
Staff Response: Sheet L 1.0 of the approved Design Review plans indicates that a playground
with landscaping would be installed on the east side of the annex building, a meditation garden
would be installed to the west and a series of trees would be planted on the north side of the
building. Staff believes that the landscaping proposed on this plan, if augmented by additional
landscaping along the edge of the meditation garden adjacent to the annex building, would
substantially comply with this condition of approval. Kol Shofar has agreed to paint the annex
building, as the condition requires.
CLARIFICATION OF CO:'\GREGATION KOL SHOFAR CO'\lDITIONS OF ApPROVAL
Page 2 of 5
TO\\'11 of Tiburon
AprH 21, 2ClCl8
Condition of Approval No. 27
Within sixty (60) days of adoption of this resolution, permittee shall submit to the Planning Division
for review and acceptance a revised landscape plan depicting enhanced landscaping near the
intersection of Blaclifield Drive and Via Los Altos that will provide additional visual screening of the
multi-purpose building.
Kol Shofar Concern: Better understanding of the review process for compliance with this
requirement.
Staff Response: The revised landscape plan would be reviewed by Planning Division staff.
Although this plan would be part of the public record and available to be reviewed by the public,
notices would not be sent to neighboring property owners regarding this plan. Staff s decision on
the substantial compliance of the revised landscape plan with this requirement would be final and
cannot be appealed.
Condition of Approval No. 28
Electrical wiring shall be installed for all skylights, light shafts, and clerestory windows to facilitate
installation of electronically-controlled automated blackout shades, in the event that automated
blackout shades are required by the Town in the future. Such wiring shall be shown on building
permit construction drawings and shall be verified by inspection prior to building occupancy.
Kol Shofar Concern: Whether electrical wiring needs to be installed for blackout shades for the
clerestory windows.
Staff Response: It would be easier to operate the blackout shades for the clerestory windows than
those for skylights and light shafts, as a simple pulley system can be used to pull the shades up or
down for these vertical window surfaces. However, the Town Council clearly stated at the
March 5th hearing that all blackout shades should be pre-wired during construction to allow for
the possibility of installing automated shades in the future.
Condition of Approval No. 29
Thefolding exterior wallfor the multi-purpose building shall be comprised of three (3) horizontal
operable sections, capable of being separately and independently opened and closed.
Kol Shofar Concern: Whether a two-section, horizontally opening, folding exterior wall
indicated on the plans approved by the Design Review Board for the multi-purpose building
meets the intent of the Town Council to require an exterior wall "capable of being separately and
independently opened and closed."
Staff Response: The conceptual plans for the multi-purpose building approved by the Town
Council under the conditional use permit for the Kol Shofar expansion project show a
horizontally opening, folding exterior wall comprised of three (3) sections. The plans approved
CU\RIFICA nON OF CONGREGATION KOL SHOFAR CONDITIONS OF ApPROY AL
Page 3 of 5
Town of Tiburon
April 21, 2008
by the Design Review Board for the multi-purpose building show a horizontally opening, folding
exterior wall comprised of two (2) sections. At the March 5 Town Council meeting, Kol Shofar
representatives discussed the possibility of a vertically opening door for the multi-purpose room.
The Town Council asked if a vertically opening wall would be able to open in sections, so that
the wall could be partially opened and not just fully opened or closed. Kol Shofar's architect
indicated that only a horizontally opening wall could be made up of several sections with the
ability to open up partially.
As the Council deliberated on the appeal, there was a general consensus that a horizontally
opening, folding exterior wall was preferable to a vertically opening wall. In discussing the
importance of having an exterior wall that would be "capable of being separately and
independently opened and closed," Staff was also directed to include a requirement that the
folding exterior wall be comprised of three (3) sections. On March 19, the Town Council
amended the draft resolution to add the word "horizontal" to this condition of approval.
Staff believes that a horizontally opening, folding exterior wall comprised of two (2) sections
would substantially comply with the Council's intention that the wall have the ability to be
"separately and independently opened and closed." Such a wall could be opened fully, opened
slightly in the middle, or opened partially or fully on either side. This would address the
Council's rejection of a wall that would only be capable of being fully open or fully closed.
Condition of Approval No. 30
The easterly drive aisle of the lower parking lot shall be widened to fourteen (14) feet for its entire
length. This shall be accomplished by widening the parking lot in the direction of the synagogue
buildings. A revised Sheet(s) showing the modified parking lot design shall be submitted to the
Planning Division within sixty (60) days of adoption of this resolution.
Kol Shofar Concern: Better understanding of the review process for compliance with this
requirement.
Staff Response: The modified parking lot design would be reviewed by Planning Division staff.
Although this modified design would be part of the public record and available to be reviewed by
the public, notices would not be sent to neighboring property owners regarding this design.
Staff s decision on the substantial compliance of the modified parking lot design with this
requirement would be final and cannot be appealed.
Condition of Approval No. 32
Any tent structure supported by the approved tent poles may be installed on a temporary basis for
High Holy Days purposes. Erection of the tent structure shall occur no earlier than three (3) days
prior to High Holy Days and the tent structure must be taken down no later than three (3) days
following the conclusion of the High Holy Days.
Kol Shofar Concern: Whether the tent could be erected for occasions other than High Holy Days.
CLARIFICATION OF CONGREGATION KOL SHOFAR CONDITIONS OF ApPROVAL
Page 4 of 5
Town of Tiburon
April 21, 2()()8
Staff Response: Kol Shofar did not request installation of this temporary tent structure as part of
the conditional use permit for its expansion project. The plans submitted and approved by the
Design Review Board only show the location of the permanent tent support poles, with no
illustrations of the tent itself.
At the March 5 Town Council hearing, Kol Shofar representatives were asked about the purpose
of the tent and told the Council that the tent was intended to be used only on High Holy Days.
On March 19, the Council amended the draft resolution to include a condition of approval
limiting the installation of the tent to the periods during and three (3) days immediately prior and
after High Holy Days.
The conditional use permit for this project contains numerous conditions of approval dealing with
limitations on times and dates during which activities may occur on the site. Staff believes that
any changes to the time limitations for the tent structure would be best addressed during the first
scheduled review of the conditional use permit for the Kol Shofar expansion project.
Conclusion
The conditions of approval addressed above are consistent with the intentions of the Town
Council in adopting Resolution No. 12-2008 and do not require modification. As noted above,
Staff believes that the plans approved by the Design Review Board with a horizontally opening,
folding exterior wall comprised of two (2) sections for the multi-purpose building would
substantially comply with the intentions of the Town Council addressed under Condition of
Approval No. 29. Absent direction from the Town Council to the contrary, these conditions of
approval shall be interpreted by Planning Division staff as described in this memo.

SUBJECT: Rebate for Marin Renter's - Housing Stability Program
Interim Executive Director
Ed Griffin
Dear Jeff Slavitz:
I am writing to request that the Town of Tiburon participate in funding Marin Housing Authority's
Rebate for Marin Renter's - Housing Stability Program for fiscal year 2008-09. This program helps
to support efforts required in Tiburon's Housing Element.
Thanks to your generous contribution of$4,018.00 in 2007-08, Marin Housing provided short-term
rental assistance to five (5) low-income households in the Tiburon area. Marin Housing continues
to use the Marin County 2000 Census population statistics to determine each community's
suggested contribution share to the program. Marin Housing suggests Tiburon's contribution for
2008-09 remain at $4,018.00.
As you know, the Rebate for Marin Renter's - Housing Stability Program serves low income
seniors, people with disabilities, and families with children who are at risk of losing their housing.
The program provides one-time assistance of up to $1200 to an eligible household. This assistance
is particularly beneficial for those households who are having difficulty paying their rent and who
require an emergency rental subsidy. For these households, many of whom are paying as much as
90% of their income for rent, this emergency rental subsidy can mean the difference between
housing stability and homelessness. During the past fiscal year, Marin Housing has also provided
information, assistance and referral services to 13 unduplicated households in Tiburon, with a total
of 702 unduplicated households throughout the county.
I hope that your town will once again choose to continue participation in this unique, locally-
controlled housing stability program. Please do not hesitate to contact me or June Miyake,
Supportive Housing Program Manager at 491-2577, if you have any questions.

STAFF, BOARD AND COMMITTEE REPORTS:
1. Chair's Report
Chair Falk welcomed the architectural firm EHDD whose presentation will be moved up on the
agenda to accommodate their schedule.
2. BTLF Report
The Gently Used Art Auction grossed between $10-11,000 this year. Thanks to the Art Committee
that did a terrific job all week long.
The Library Society's Chocolate and Champagne party will be held in June again this year.
The 18th annual Petrocelli Luncheon will be held on Tuesday, May 6th; so far 50 tickets have sold.
The BTLF annual meeting was held on March 1ih. There are 13 new directors making a total of 94.
Director Mazzolini gave a power point presentation.
As a director of the BTLF each must contribute to the capital campaign although there is no minimum
amount required. Thus far about 34 directors have made a donation or pledged to make a donation,
totaling $1,320,000 to date. Florence Miner's contribution has been earmarked for the cafe/book
store in memory of her brother.
8. Building Program Planning Update
Since the last meeting there have been two presentations by EHDD - one to Belvedere City Council
and the other to Tiburon Town Council. Both councils were very supportive and there was no
negative feedback from the audience. Parking was cited at both meetings as a potential issue.
Belvedere Mayor Jerry Butler mentioned it because Belvedere residents have commented to him on
parking issues. Town Manager Peggy Curran addressed it because according to the General Plan
the proposed library size necessitates an additional 13 spaces for a total of 75. Jennifer Devlin says
the EHDD calculations are based on the traffic study completed as part of the Initial Study which was
approved by Town Council. It may behoove the library to have another traffic study performed
focusing on peak demand times and alternative parking. There appears to be ample parking around
Tiburon but much of it is privately owned and use of these lots would require the cooperation of the
owners. Possibly the landscape architects could do something to demonstrate a connection between
these parking lots and the library. During evening events these lots may be accessible but during the
day, there may be limitations on their availability. Trustee Steger Johnson feels it is important to be
pro-active about solutions to parking so the public is aware of the options. Glenn Isaacson believes
the meeting room will be the wild card and drive the parking requirements, which are higher for
meeting rooms than office space. Perhaps a public meeting to discuss parking only would be
beneficial. The meeting room has been planned for 100 people as per the building program and
although there are some who support the notion of a larger room, the plan for 100 will remain for the
time being.

Constructing the addition over the current parking lot will require a new Environmental Impact Report
(EIR). The Town will oversee this process and it will include another traffic study. It remains to be
seen whether a full EIR will be required. The one made for the rear property was given a negative
declaration and therefore did not require a full EIR. The Town recommends basing the EIR on the
largest possible building.
Jennifer Devlin reported that a cost estimator is working from the current plans to develop a
preliminary cost estimate for the expansion.
The upcoming meetings include a public meeting at the Town of Tiburon on April th at 7:30pm and
again on April 9th at 10:00am. There will also be neighborhood meetings at Gwen Price's, Stephanie
Pug ash's and Sher Honchariw's in April. EHDD will not attend the neighborhood meetings but Glenn
Isaacson will act as the representative from the Building Team.
3. Library Director's report - Deborah Mazzolini
Ralph Vazquez, staff member from the circulation desk, suffered a heart attack on March 21 st. He
needs about two weeks to recover from the episode and will return to work on a limited schedule for
a couple weeks. For the time being the public works departments of the City and Town will be asked
to assist with meeting set-ups. This incident has drawn attention to the fact that the tables and chairs
in the Founders Room are cumbersome and heavy to handle. The staff has investigated the
purchase of new tables with electric power points and lightweight chairs. The cost of these could be
paid for with the proceeds of the 2006 Golf Tournament that generated about $17,000. The chairs
and tables that will be replaced could be sold or donated to a worthy cause.
A motion to request a sizeable sample of the chairs and tables, made by Trustee Epstein and
seconded by Trustee Steger Johnson, passed unanimously.
4. Financial statement for February 2008
Seven months into the fiscal year, the financial position of the library remains in good health with a
steadily improving cash position.
5. Committee Reports
The list of programs for April is in the packet. There will be a film screened on Friday, March 28th.
CONSENT CALENDAR:
6. Approval of minutes of February 11, 2008
A motion to approve the minutes of February 22, 2008 made by Trustee Beverlee Johnson and
seconded by Trustee Kuhns passed.
7. Approval of warrants and in house check register dated February 2008
A motion to approve the check register and warrants dated February 2008 made by Trustee Otter
and seconded by Trustee Epstein passed.
TRUSTEE CONSIDERATIONS:
8. Building Program Planning Update (continued)
A letter of opposition to the expansion was sent to the Agency from seven residents of Belvedere and
Tiburon. Because it is likely that there will be opposition voiced by the public throughout the
expansion, Anne-Marie Bonfilio will prepare a written script which may be used by the staff and
agency when comments and questions are addressed of them. The author of the letter prefers the
small size of the library and is much opposed to the idea of adding a parking lot on what is currently
open space. She feels that the staff can make the building work better by spreading the heavily
attended programs over multiple days.

9. Preliminary Budget FY0809
The preliminary budget is reflecting an increase in tax revenue of 50/0 over the current year. The
expense for public relations is expected to increase dramatically due to the PR needed for the
expansion.
One of the points to consider when developing the library budget is the restrictions imposed by the
Gann Appropriations Limit. This concept is complicated but it a nutshell, there is a limit as to how
much tax money the library can spend. Prop 13 established that any agency that accepts tax money
cannot take more than the amount from the previous year, except by the percentage increase in
(local or county) population and the annual state CPI. The resulting figure becomes our Gann Limit.
Once we have estimated our tax revenue per the budget, we can deduct the amount of state
mandated expenses (such as PERS and Medicare) and debt service on the bonds, to determine the
amount of tax that is subject to the appropriation limit. The calculation of the limit is based on the
annual budget. A resolution must be passed by the board stating the limit, which should be adopted
soon after the budget is adopted since the auditor uses this information to complete the audit. In
2002 auditors VTD were asked to review our Gann because it appeared that we were reaching the
limit too soon for the five years the library had existed. They determined that we had 2 Gann limits -
one for the library and another for the CFD.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Marin Countv Board of Suoervisors' oublic hearina of Aoril 1.
2008 was continued to Mav 6. 2008 in order to consider proposed amendments to the Marin County
Development Code. The Development Code includes the zoning and subdivision regulations that apply
to the unincorporated areas of Marin County. The project includes proposed amendments including,
but not limited to: (1) clarifying and expanding streamlining procedures for small to modest scale
Design Review projects; (2) requiring Design Review for major remodels and demolitionlrebuHding
projects currently subject to ministerial review; (3) revising the standards and procedures for processing

Dear Colleague:
Last December, San Rafael held the first Project Homeless Connect (PHC) event in
tv1arin, a very successful Marin County debut of this results-oriented program. The PHC
one-day event is based on the program originally started in San Francisco, which has
been replicated successfully across the country by many cities and counties. PHC is the
widely-acknowledged "best practices" model for cormecting our neediest residents to
the services they need, but may not know how to access.
Marin Countts second Project Homeless Connect is being developed under the
auspices of the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the City ofNovato, through the
good work ofMarinLink. The Novato PHe will be held on Friday, May 2, at Our Lady
of Loretto's Parish Hall, at 1806 Novato Blvd., Novato. Over 12 agencies will be
providing health screenings, dental treatment, legal assistance, employment
counseling, California IDs. and help with county public assistance and veterans
programs.
PliC is a proven, effective way to provide same-day services and results to individuals
in a one>stop setting. On a Project Homeless Connect day, volunteers from throughout
the city, from businesses, faith groups and service agencies, join together to provide a
wide variety of services and goods for people who are homeless.
As you know, one of the goal~ of Project Homeless Connect is that this program will
build on the success of the initial events, and be replicated in other communities of
!\1arin. You are invited to attend a tour of the facility and hear from the organizers
about the objectives of the project, and how it was organized and set up. The tour will
begin with a small welcome to the volunteers at 8 :30 a.m. on May 2nd in the Parish
Hall at OQl' Lady of Loretto ChUl'ch. After the welcome, you will be able to attend a
short briefing with the org~, and a tour of the facility. To attend or for more
infonnation, please call Jennifer Goldfmger at 899-8903.
We hope that you or a representative of your Council will take advantage of this unique
opportunity to see the program in action. Through collaboration on this issue that
affects all our communities across Marin County, we hope that we can make a
difference in the lives of our residents who are homeless.
