following the adoption of the final report recommendations by MCCMC, the Marin

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town
of Tiburon agrees to provide initial funding as specified by this resolution and
Exhibit "A" which is attached hereto and be it further resolved that the Town of
Tiburon is taking this action with the following understandings and conditions:
1. Due to the importance of this issue, and the need to begin addressing the
homeless needs in Marin County, the Town of Tiburon agrees to provide a
portion of the initial or startup funding for a Homeless Coordinator and the
attendant costs associated with a Homeless Commission. In doing so, it must
be fully recognized that the County is the governmental entity that is
responsible for providing health and human services which includes
homelessness.
2. The portion of the initial startup costs paid by the cities shall be an amount
equal to 25% of the proposed draft budget dated November 2, 1990 not to
exceed $30,000 per year plus up to a 5% growth factor each year thereafter.
Funding shall be provided for 36 months beginning January 1, 1991 and
ending December 31, 1993. Further, on or before January 1, 1993, the
Homeless Commission shall submit to each city a report indicating its
specific progress on obtaining long-term funding support and shelter sites.
City contributions shall be based upon population. Should any city decline
to participate, the aforementioned total city portion of the funding shall be
reduced accordingly.
3. The proposed Homeless Coordinator and Homeless Commission should make
the identification of a reliable and ongoing funding base and shelter their top
and most immediate priorities. Ongoing financial assistance for the
maintenance and operation of the homeless program should not be presumed
or expected from cities. Further, the initial composition of the Homeless
Commission should reflect individuals that can identify and secure such
funding.
