V. PUBLIC QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
The City Manager introduced Sam Schneider and Pat Loomis of the
Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Schneider said that he has been working
with the Public Services Committee of the douncil in an effort
to foster better relations and communication between the Council
and the business community. The Chamber of Commerce is asking that
a member of the Council attend their regular meetings on the
3rd Wednesday of each month at 7:30 a.m. Rockey said the
Council appreciated this effort and he would like to accept.
Council concurred.
The City Manager reported to the Council that once again
"Adventures Unlimited" has asked if they can clean the debris
from the shoreline from San Rafael Avenue to Blackie's Pasture.
They are asking the City to haul this debris away after it has
been collected. Council agreed and Mayor Edelstein expressed
his appreciation to Adventures Unlimited for their offer
to assist the community.

10. PLANNING COMMISSION APPEAL (Denial of Condominium permit
at 2298 Paradise Drive) File No. 17806
The Director of Community Development explained that the Planning
Commission had denied this condominium permit because of its
concern with the precedent setting aspect of the approval and
that it was not appropriate because the development of the property
was not consistent with a traditional duplex building. The
City Attorney explained that his interpretation of the R-2
zoning ordinance does allow for t~hLs type of building, two
units on this lot each with its own family. Mayor Edelstein
opened the public hearing. Attorney for the applicant, Richard
Tarrants, introduced the applicant David Ratho Mr. Rath
explained his proposal and reported that he had worked hard
with the neighbors to iron out their concerns. He said that
this proposal does not constitute a lot split since the land
would be owned jointly but the units would be owned separately.
Art Gimmy of the Planning Commission reviewed the reasons
for the Commissions denial of the application. Mr. William
Krivda, President of the Lyford Cove Property Owners, and
Ms. Louise Mirata spoke against the appeal. Mr. Bob Ellsburg
and Mr. John Harris spoke in favor of the appeal saying that
if all the requirements have been met that this applicant should

March 7, 1979
Page 2
not be penalized. Mr. Tarrants summarized by saying that the
application has already been approved for the two units to
be built and that whether they are owned by two families or
whether one is owned and the other is a rental unit is not
the issue. In response to a question from the Mayor the
Deputy City Attorney said that the merger of contiguous
property ordinance is not at issue here, that in law, this is
not considered a lot split. Mayor Edelstein closed the public
hearing after over one hour of discussion. Council members
agreed that there is ambiguity over the R-2 zoning ordinance
and agreed that the concerns of the prople of Old Tiburon are
finally coming to a head over this issue. Rockey expressed
displeasure with the Planning Commission's denial of the
application since they did not offer real findings. He suggested
sending this back to the Planning Commission for review and
requesting them to come up with real findings to support their
decision. Hanson disagreed and indicated that he supported
the appeal.
MOTION:
Moved:
Vote:
Absent:
That the Council continue for 60 days acting upon
applicant's appeal in order to receive the Ad Hoc
Committee's report for possible R-2 zoning modifi-
cations and that the Planning Commission be requested
to consider imposing a moratorium on Condominium
conversion in the R-2 zone for a period of time
determined appropriate by the Commission.

VIII. BUSINESS
15. HERITAGE COMMISSION (Change designation from "City"
to "Town" of Tiburon)
Bass asked if changing the designation would cost anything. The
City Manager said the costs would be minor, and no signs would
be changed until they need to be and that stationery, etc. would
not be replaced until they ran out. Rockey asked about the
legal ramifications: the Deputy City Attorney said there are none.
A petition will be circulated by members of the Heritage Commission
and when the required number of signatures is secured, it will be
brought before Council for a decision.
11. ENCROACHMENT PERMIT APPLICATION (PG&E Line re-location/
Palmer Court) File No. 4203
The City Manager reviewed this application and explained that
all neighbors had been informed of the application and the
concerns apparently resolved.
MOTION:

Absent:

12. UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES (Amendment of deadline dates,
Resoluti0n No. 1037) File No. 4500
The City Manager reviewed the request from PG&E and Pacific Telephone
to reestablish dates for completion of the undergrounding and pole
and wire removal in this Underground Utility District. Dick Conrad
of PG&E displayed a map showing the PG&E construction and explained
there is a possibility that the undergrounding district can be
extended so that more undergrounding could be done near Rock Hill Road.
Stewart Hussey of Pacific Telephone explained their position saying
that he recognized Pacific Telephone should have begun sooner on
their construction and undergrounding and have paid more attention
to the completion dates established by the City.

Staff recommended approval of the extension of the deadline
dates to May 1, 1979 and July 1, 1979 and to order Pacific

13. TIBURON SCHOOL CONVERSION (Review of feasibility study)
The Director of Community Development reported that there are
no new additions to the written feasibility report submitted
by the Ecumenical Association. Martin Mackey was present to
answer questions from Council. Hanson asked whether the Community
Room would be kept in the plan of conversion. Mackey said
it would be kept in subject to final cost projection. In response
to a question about what the next step will be Mackey suggested
inviting people to come in and discuss the financing. Rockey
requested guidance from the Council about the City's involvement
in the Project after it is completed. Council consensus was that
the City is not in the landlord business and should not involve
itself after the Project is completed except perhaps to have a
member of the Council sit on an advisory board of the Project. Mayor
Edelstein said that he would like to see some of the drawings and
plans and hoped that the City would have input into these. It
was agreed to meet further with the Housing Authority, representatives
from Reed Union School District and proceed with the next step
of determining the most feasible financing, ownership and management
procedure.
17. CETA PERSONNEL/PROGRAM STATUS (Oral Report by City Manager)
The City Manager reviewed the status of the 4 CETA workers presently
assigned to the City of Tiburon. Because of the changes in the
law a decision was necessary concerning the Parks and Recreation
Department CETA employees. Mr. Kleinert gave several options and
recommended that the Council transition the present Parks and
Recreation Supervisor to regular employ at this time. This will
have financial impact on the City during this fiscal year, however,
it will also open up a CETA position which can be filled prior
to April 1, 1979, at the current CETA subsidy structure.

III. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Edelstein opened his remarks by saying it had been an interesting
year in which to be Mayor, one that had both confrontations and developing
friendships. He reminded everyone how Proposition 13 had seemed like
a "terminal disaster" and said the long term solutions are still to come
from Sacramento. His frustration comes from the length of time it takes
to accomplish anything. Much of the work involves finishing work begun
by previous Councils and this will continue for future Councils. The
Mayor expressed pleasure over continuing talks and improved relations
with Belvedere. He cited problems still demanding work and solutions as the
Southern Pacific property, Ring Mountain, Downtown Turnaround, Trestle
Glen signalization, and possible annexation of Strawberry. Referring
again to the length of time it takes to complete projects and solve
problems he quoted former Mayor George Ellman, "what is not done is as
important as what is done." Councilman Bass thanked Mayor Edelstein
for doing a "superb job" as Mayor and for being such a help to new
Council members. Councilman Bergsund described Mayor Edelstein's leadership
as "exemplary" and said it was a pleasure to work with him. Councilman
Rockey also expressed his appreciation to the Mayor.

V. CITY COUNCIL, COMMISSION AND COMMITTEE REPORTS
A. Bel/Tib Recycling Depot Operation (Public Services Committee)
Councilman Rockey reported on the meeting held with Neill Smith, Al
Aramburu, Chut Dami, Tom Price and officials from the City of Belvedere
concerning the recycling depot. There is an agreement that an attempt will
be made to keep the recycling depot operational. Neill Smith will support
this effort and supervise the transition when he closes the center on or
about April 1. One suggestion that has been made is for people choosing
re-cycling as part of their garbage pick-up would get a correspondingly
reduced garbage rate. Mayor Bergsund reported that Mr. Garbarino of Marin
Sanitary Service may organize a recycling pick-up on a County wide basis.
B. Condominium Conversion Moratorium (Planning Commission Recommendation)
Director of Community Development Bob Hanna reported that the Planning
Commission had discussed the request from the City Council to consider
recommending a moratorium on condominium conversion in the R-2 Zone.
The Planning Commission felt that it was satisfactory to review each
individual project and that a moratorium was unnecessary at this time.
He stated that representatives of the Lyford's Cove/Old Tiburon area were
in attendance at the Planning Commission meeting and that they support
the idea of a moratorium. Bass asked if there is presently any applicant
asking for a conversion in the R-2 zone. Hanna replied there is one.
Bass said that he would like to have the moratorium for a short period of
time so that the Council could review and perhaps re-organize the Zoning
ordinance. The ordinance could be enacted as an urgency ordinance to
take effect immediately but it would require a 4/5 vote of the council.
MOTION: to direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance
establishing a moratorium on condominium conversions in the
R-2 zone.
Moved: Rockey, Seconded by Bass.
Bergsund offered an amendment to make this an urgency ordinance which was
accepted by Rockey.
Vote: Unanimous
Absent: Hanson
City Attorney Conn will bring the draft ordinance to the April 4th meeting
if it is determined that legally this can be done without first presenting
it to the Planning Commission. Rockey expressed the 'hope that the
moratorium would be only a few months.
VI. APPOINTMENTS TO COMMISSIONS, COMMITTEES AND BOARDS
There are two (2) vacancies on the Fine Arts Commission.
VII. PUBLIC QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
Councilman Bass complimented City Attorney for his fine work relating
to the Agins vs. City of Tiburon court case. The Supreme Court recently
ruled in favor of the City. He expressed a great vote of thanks to the
City Attorney for this benchmark decision.

IX. PUBLIC HEARINGS
MERGER OF CONTIGUOUS PROPERTIES (Ordinance, 2nd Reading)
Director of Community Development Hanna explained that the Planning
Commission felt that it had discussed this item fully and that it was
not necessary to meet with the Ad Hoc Committee to deba~~trfurther. The
recommendation was to hold second reading and adopt the '~g~et. Mayor
Bergsund opened the public hearing. Peter Berg said that this ordinance
would adversely affect his property, he thinks the ordninance is too broad
and not concise enough to be effective. Louise Mirata' spoke against the
merger of contiguous property ordinance saying that it has not been given
enough public exposure and that many people affected don't know anything
about it. Gary Gray asked how many properties in Tiburon would be affected
and wondered whose idea it is to have this ordinance. Mayor Bergsund closed
the public hearing. Edelstein asked if there were any people who would
be willing to go to the Assessor's office and check the map to determine
the number of affected parcels. Rockey suggested that if there is
insufficient staff time to support a negative declaration on this ordinance
perhaps we should drop it for the time being. Bass recapped the law concern-
ing merger of contiguous properties and said that we should have this
ordinance in order to clarify many problems. Edelstein suggested that by
simply changing the wording in line 6 of #14-72 Merger to read "with
a building and that the undeveloped parcel" clarifies the ordinance more
fully.

6. TIBURON BOULEVARD UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES (Authorization
to proceed with Phase II and Setting of Public Hearing to
designate Underground Utility District)
City Council Minutes #492
March 21, 1979
Page 3.
The City Manager explained that the initial phase of the Tiburon
Boulevard undergrounding is now underway and the utility companies are
prepared to proceed with the 2nd phase of undergrounding in the vicinity
of Rock Hill - Tiburon Boulevard intersection. He recommended that Council
set a public hearing for Wednesday, April 4, 1979, to consider and designate
this area an Underground District as required in Section 12 of the City
Code. Rockey asked if the entire cost of this phase of the undergrounding
will be the $55,000 quoted. Dick Conrad of PG&E said yes. Edelstein
asked if our City Engineer fees in a project like this one can be applied
to the Rule 20A funds. A decision will be sought from the PUC for this
question. By consensus the Council set Wednesday, April 4, 1979, for a
public hearing to consider and designate the Tiburon Boulevard 2nd Phase
Utility Undergrounding District.
7. BEL/TIB JOINT RECREATION COMMITTEE JPA REVISIONS (Resolution)
Mayor Bergsund asked that this item be continued to April 4, 1979.
Edelstein asked that the JPA include a requirement that the Committee
follow the policies of both the City of Belvedere and the City of Tiburon
and that the minutes of the Joint Committee meetings be forwarded to each
City.
8. TIBURON SCHOOL CONVERSION (Acceptance of Feasibility Study
by EHA and Authorization to proceed with next stage)
The Director of Community Development explained that per Council's
request there had been a further meeting with representatives of the
Housing Authority, EAH, Reed Union School District and the Council
Community Services Committee. The feasibility study appears appropriate
to assess the school conversion. He emphasized that it is important that
the City apply for the Section 8 allocation funds from H.U.D.quickly,
the deadline is in fact May 9, 1979. Edelstein asked when the preliminary
drawings of the project can be reviewed. Jan Miller of the Housing Authority
of Marin said that there will be leeway between the preliminary application
and the finalized one so that drawings can be reviewed and revis-ed. Gary
Gray asked if the parkland adjacent to the school will remain as parkland
for the community. Edelstein said that he wants this land to be included
in the application as a play area for the community.

IX. STAFF REPORT, COMMUNICATIONS AND CITY MANAGER ITEMS
10. McKegney Green Fees (Joint Committee Revisions)
Parks and Recreation Director, Jim Lombard, summarized the Joint
Committee's thinking regarding the fee schedule proposed for McKegney
Field. Rockey asked how the in lieu system would work, how it would
be computed and who would monitor it. Lombard suggested that if the
Soccer League agreed to cut the grass, keep it fertilized, etc. this
would constitute an in lieu fee for their use. Superintendent of Public
Works Brunini said that often volunteer services are difficult to maintain
and problems may arise with the in lieu system. Council suggested
referring back to the Joint Committee a question about guidelines for giving
money or services.

II. BUSINESS
l. DOWNTOWN MAIN STREET TURNAROUND
City Manager Kleinert gave the background information about the
proposed Main Street turnaround. City Engineer Bala explained the
alternative suggestions for accomplishing this. Several members
of the audience representing the Downtown Merchants and the Chamber
of Commerce spoke against any of the alternatives. Merchants,
particularly those along Ark Row, feel that any changes on Main Street
regarding the turnaround, and/or cillosing of Main Street would adversely
affect their business.
Mayor Bergsund began the Council's comments by saying she thought,
in view of the merchant's opposition that the turnaround should be tabled
for the time being. She further suggested that the Ark Row merchants
begin the procedure for getting a sign up on Main Street directing
visitors to the Ark Row Shops. Councilman Rockey concurred with the
Mayor's comments as did Councilman Bass. Councilman Edelstein suggested
that inasmuch as pedestrians now use Main Street almost as a "mall", that
automobiles, indeed, are a hazzard, that closing Main Street occasionally
would not adversely affect the merchants and that the widening of the
sidewalk opposite the Sullivan Building would, in fact, enhance the
shops on Ark Row. Councilman Hanson was concerned about maintaining
both cooperation and communication between the Council and the merchants
and for this reason agreed that it would be best to table action regarding
the turnaround. Planning Commission Chairman Wilson encouraged the
City Council not to drop the turnaround completely, but agreed that it
would be best to put it off until perhaps October, and to monitor the
Main Street activities during the interim. Planning Commissioner
Spratling felt the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and the City
should proceed. Planning Commissioner Gimmy agreed that the matter
could be tabled.
MOVED:
Vote:
to table the Downtown turnaround but with all conditions
of the agreement between Mr. Zelinsky and the City to
remain in effect.

Hanson spoke against the rnoratoritUTl saying the Planning Commission
had recommended against it twice and Council has not received the
reconrnendations of the Ad Hoc Corrmittee. Bass spoke in favor

Nat Harans, Dave Teather. After two hours of discussion Mayor Bergsund
closed the public hearing. Rockey said that he would support the mora-
torilDTI reluctantly but would not support an extension of it if the staff
was unable to draft revisions to the R- 2 zone by the end of the 4 months.

handling each application individually was sufficient. Bass spoke in
favor of the moratorium saying that u months would give staff enough
tirre to change the zoning ordinance and would not dramatically effect
anyone. Edelstein said that he would not support the moratorium at this
time but, if at the end of 60 days, progress had not been made in modifying
the zoning ordinance he would re-introduce the moratorium. as an urgency
ordinance. Mayor Bergsund indicated that she would support the

Director of Community Development Hanna reviewed this application
and the background material. Applicant David Rath explained that
his application fits within the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendations,
provides enough parking spaces, is in complete conformance with the
zoining ordinance and does not take any rental units off the market.
Mayor Bergsund opened the public hearing. Nancy VanRavensway asked
why Mr. Rath was asked to return to the Planning Commission for further
deliberations, who asked him and generally criticized the process.
Mayor Bergsund explained that Council did not feel the Planning
Commission had defined specifically the findings on which they
denied the application. Residents John Harris, Nancy Bellinger,
Bob Ellsberg, Bob San Chez and John Bloomenstock spoke in support
of the appeal.
MOTION: to uphold the appeal of Mr. Rath on the condition that no
fence be constructed in the common area of open space between
the two units.
Moved: Edelstein, Seconded by Hanson
Rockey indicated he was supportive of the motion. Edelstein said
there would be no adverse affect or impact with this project. Hanson
supported this appeal and said that although this had been a heated
subject with which to deal, that the governmental process was good.
He hopes that soon there can be more definition between the R-2 and R-3
zones to avoid these controversies. Bass supported the motion because
there is no legal basis for denying the appeal presently in our
ordinance. Bergsund opposed the motion on principle and said that

Director of Parks and Recreation Lombard explained this run
and reported that the Parks and Recreation Commission recommends
approval as submitted. Rockey said he supported the run but
was concerned about the finish line if it was in Blackie's Pasture
and the cars would also be parked there. Mr. Capron was in the
audience representing the Marin Racers and explained that the finish
line would be on the auxilary road by McKegney Green. Mayor
Bergsund asked when the start would be? Mr. Capron said that

8. BELVEDERE/TIBURON RE-CYCLING DEPOT (Endorsement of Depot
Management and Operation)
Mayor Bergsund summarized the two applications which have been
submitted for take over of the re-cycling depot. She recommended
that Council endorse the Mill Valley refuse proposal, noting that
a percentage of the revenue will be returned to the Tiburon Peninsula
Environmental Committee. She felt it was inappropriate to accept
the CETA proposal. She hoped the hours of the depot could be expanded/*
Rod Charney, representing Marin Citizens for Energy Planning, reported
that they are not competing with Mill Valley Refuse and are only
interested in public awareness of re-cycling and a continuation
or expansion of the service in the County. Edelstein suggested
beginning negotiations immediately with the Mill Valley Refuse Company.
*and that mixed waste paper would be collected.

6. REVENUE SHARING (Proposed Federal Revenue Sharing budget
allocation, 1979-80)
Town Manager Kleinert reviewed the restrictions on Federal Revenue
fund expenditures, and estimated that we will have $107,900 in this
fund for next year. Mayor Bergsund opened the public hearing to allow
community input concerning proposed revenue expenditures for 1979-80.
Hearing no comments she closed the public hearing. Councilman Rockey
said he would like to see some money allocated for off-site
Town Council MInutes #496

improvements at the Tiburon School conversion project. Edelstein
suggested money be allocated for the police department move and
for some renovation at Town Hall. Rockey asked for some allocation
for the crossing guard program. Bergsund suggested allocation
for additional drainage downtown and possibly for abatement of
illegal 2nd units. Rockey further suggested allocation for steps
along the multi-use path to the waterfront. Council established
May 21, 1979, as the date for the first public hearing of the
proposed 1979-80 Town budget, including consideration of the proposed
revenue sharing expenditures.
9. JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT (Bel/Tib Joint Recreation Committee)
Town Attorney Conn was present to answer questions of Council
regarding this joint powers agreement. Edelstein suggested
that only the Belvedere City Councilor the Tiburon Town Council
could terminate the committee. There was a discussion about
the Joint committee being a "separate entity" and under whose
employ the day care center people are, particularly regarding
liability insurance. Rockey and Hanson volunteered to meet with
representatives of Belvedere to work out further agreements.
This item was continued for further discussion.
IX. STAFF REPORT, COMMUNICATIONS AND TOWN MANAGER ITEMS
10. Town Manager Kleinert reviewed a letter from Mr. Lee Miller
asking for $1,000 to prepare an "aestetic and functional salt marsh
related educational area on the Corte Madera Marsh Ecological
Reserve." Mr. Miller was in the audience and further explained
his project. He reported that three other City Councils have
agreed to place this item in their respective budgets for
consideration and hopeful approval. The Marin Conservation League
will be the trustee for the account. Bass recommended keeping
this item "active" and Edelstein suggested agendizing the matter
in the budget hearings. All Councilmembers were supportive of the
idea but cautioned Mr. Miller that in view of the passage 'of
Proposition 13, there are very little discretionary funds available.
11. There was a discussion concerning the Southern Pacific downtown
plan and Council agreed that they would attend the Planning
Commission's public hearings and ask questions but would not comment
until they had received the recommendations from the Planning
Commission.

II. BUSINESS
Mayor Bergsund declared the public hearing open for discussion and
consideration of the proposed 1979-80 Preliminary Town Budget and
proposed revenue sharing program. The Mayor indicated this session
was the first of three scheduled public budget hearings with the remaining
being set for June 11, and June 18, 1979. Final adoption of the budget
is scheduled for the Council's regular meeting of June 20, 1979.
The Town Manager indicated the proposed budget consisted of three basic
sections: (1) Financial Summaries and Statistical Data, (2) Operating
Budget Detail, (3) Capital Improvement and Open Space Acquisition Program.
This public hearing would consist primarily of an overview and summary
of the proposed budget, a review of the revenue sharing program and an
update of the financial status of the Town.
Discussion ensued concerning the Town's transition from pre-Proposition
l3 revenue status, and the Town's present goal of achieving a balanced
operating budget. The Town Manager noted the proposed budget had increased
over the current year's budget because certain basic,qperating'expenses
had been deferred due to the financial constraints of Proposition l3.
Council questioned the future impacts t6 the Town in reference to the
proposed Southern Pacific downtown development and possible future
annexations. The Town Manager responded that because of the current
property tax funding distribution formula, all development and residential
annexations have serious cost implications to the Town. There is,
however, proposed legislation intended to amend the current distribution
formula which would not penalize public agencies that allow growth or
annexation of certain areas.
Staff noted that one of the proposed Revenue Sharing expenditures for
1979-80 was to provide for completion of the Town's zoning ordinance
revisions. The Town Manager requested that this work be done in-house
by the Director of Community Development which would require additional
funds to retain planning assistance in the Department during the ordinance
revision period. Council gave preliminary authorization for Staff to
proceed with this concept and expenditure.
The Town Manager suggested that Council consider possible consolidation
of the Town's Commissions into one single Commission or Committee. He
explained the various hidden costs of the Commissions associated with
Staff time, agenda preparation, mailings, etc. The Council directed that
additional information be provided to them concerning such a proposal and
that they receive input from the Commissions concerning this matter prior
to the next public hearing.
There was little citizen input provided concerning the proposed revenue
shairng expenditure, as only one citizen was in attendance at the public
hearing.
~II. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further public comments, Mayor Bergsund declared the
public hearing closed. The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 p.m., Monday,

III. TOWN COUNCIL. COMMISSION AND COMMITTEE ORAL REPORTS
A. Citizens' Finance Advisory Committee
Town Manager Kleinert introduced John Harrington and Virginia Peterson of
the Citizens' Finance Advisory Committee. Mr. Harrington gave a breif
presentation reviewing the work of the Committee. He stated that basically
the Town is in good financial shape but must look towards the future and do
long range planning. The five areas that the Committee has studied are a
revision of the accounting system for the Town, study of existing reserves for
allocation for equipment replacement, consolidation of the Town's Commissions
and Boards, fees levied by the Town, and possible private contracting for
services. Mayor Bergsund thanked the Committee for all their work and effort
on behalf of the Town.
B. Marin County Priority Setting Committee
CounciLman Bass stated that he will give this report at the next regularly

C. Mayor Bergsund announced that the scheduled ABAG meeting of June 9th
has been cancelled. She also announced that there are several openings on
County wide Commissions and urged interested residents to apply.
D. Councilman Rockey reported that on his recent vacation to England, he
had visited a small town where an election for Town Council was about to
take place. The campaign literature indicated that problems were similar there
as here, traffic, growth, and the possibility of a community room in a housing
project. He noted that perhaps our problems are more a sign of the times than
unique only to Tiburon.
IV. APPOINTMENTS TO COMMISS~ONS, COMMITTEES AND BOARDS
There were none at this time.
V. PUBLIC QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
Mr. Hobbs of #1 San Rafael Avenue was again present to inquire about abating

It was decided to set the regular meeting of July 9, 1979 for the public hearing
regarding designating Old. St. Hilary's Landmark as an Historical Landmark, Number
three, of the Town of Tiburon and to adopt a resolution so stating.
5. APPEAL OF B.A.R. DECISION (550 Tenaya Drive)
Mayor Bergsund opened the public hearing. Ms. Candy Hollis, representing the
Hollis family, read a statement expressing their concerns. Primarily the Hollis'
would lose a portion of their view if the proposed additon to the home on 550
Tenaya is approved. Architect Eleanor Mitchell, representing the applicant, was
present and displayed the drawings and plans of the proposed additon. Councilman
Rockey stated that he felt adequate review had been done, however, he was
troubled by neighbors who once had approved this addition and now seemingly had
changed their minds. Mayor Bergsund stated she had talked to the neighbor and
they signed the petition to allow the Hollis' to collect the 5 required
signatures for an appeal rather than changing their minds. Councilman Edelstein
suggested modifications which could be done to the plan to make it more
acceptable to the Hollis' and other neighbors. Mayor Bergsund stated that we
will probably be seeing more and more additions to homes in Tiburon and the
success of these will be based on compromise by all parties. The public hearing
was declared closed.

opened the public hearing. Architect for the applicant Gary Gray explained
their plan and displayed the drawings. Applicant Mr. Beuttas exnlained their
reasons for wanting the second story added to their home. Mr. Maurry Fox
and Judge Henry Broderick spoke in opposition to the plan stating that it was
precedent setting for the neighborhood and reduced the views of some neighbors.
After some further discussion the public hearing was declared closed.
Councilman Bass stated that the Board of Adjustments and Review was not
required to make findings before reaching a decision and asked that the Council
uphold their denial of the application.
MOTION: to uphold the appeal, reverse the action of the Board of

stated that these differences should be worked out at the Board of Adjustments and
Review level and she feels it is improper for this matter to be at the Council
level. Councilman Bass concurred. ~1ayor Bergsund opened the public hearing.
Marie Schneider of Varney's Hardware explained that they had requested a
meeting with Coast Federal Savings many times to work out a solution but had
had no response from the Savings and Loan Company. Mayor Bergsund suggested
that this application be once again referred to the Board of Adjustments and
review and Coast Federal Savings be requested to coordinate with Mr. Schneider
for a sign program. Councilman Rockey stated that in view of the juxtaposition
of the two businesses it may be difficult to affect a coordinated sign. Mr.
Schneider displayed a free standing sign located in a planter box noting that
he was requesting approval of a similar sign.

Hanna explained the formula for arriving at the required 15 parking spaces and
referred to a letter from the Metro Parking stating that these spaces are
available during the business day. Counci~lan Edelstein inquired about in lieu
parking fees if it was determined that available parking was not sufficient.

10. MILL VALLEY REFUSE COMPANY (Request for rate increase)
~own Manager Kleinert reviewed the request for rate increase from the Mill
Valley REfuse Company. Councilman Edelstein inquired of Mr. Dami the status
of the re-cycling efforts. Mr. Dami responded the Mill Valley Refuse is now
operating the re-cycling depot, newspapers are being collected from individual
homes and the polot program has begun in Novato with the initial funding of
the applied for grant. Kleinert noted that we can re-open negotiotions if it
becomes necessary to charge for the re-cycling. Councilman Rockey suggested
that because of the complexities in arriving at an equitable fee for garbage
collection that an advisory group be established similar to the Citizens'
Finance Advisory Committee to address this problem in the future. Edelstein
asked if Staff had considered raising the franchise fee, noting that Tiburon's
is 5% and Mill Valley's is 20%. Kleinert*concurred, and indicated this would
result in raising the fees even more than requested. Rockey asked a question
about the depreciation schedule noted on the financial statement of the Mill
Valley Refuse. Mr. Dami said that resulted because of the acquisition of
three new trucks. *said that Staff had considered

13. BOARD OF ADJUS1MENTS AND DESIGN REVIEW
(Proposed changes in Board structure and procedures)
Director of Community Development Hanna reviewed previous disucssions concerning
changes in structure and procedures of the Board of Adjustments and Review.
Staff would be given discretion to approve minor additons; a paragraph added
to provide for the expiration of the Board approval after one year, clarification
of noticing property owners within 300 feet, use permits to be heard by the
Planning Commission, perhaps changing the number of Board members 7 to 5, the
term of the Planning Commissioner member to be 6 months, and the Board to
elect its own Chair. Edelstein suggested the Board approval of an application

more modern, plastic type, chemical toilets on a monthly basis to be located

Mayor Bergsund declared the public hearinq 9pen for continued
discussion and consideration of the proposed 1979-80 Preliminary
Town Budget. The Town Manager stated this was the second of
three regularly scheduled public budget hearings and the purpose
of this session was to focus on review of the proposed 1979-80
operating budget. The final budget hearing is scheduled for
Monday, June 18, 1979, concerning the Capital Improvement
section of the proposed budget. It was suggested that Council
review and discuss each of the department budgets and consider
only tentative approval of each at this time. Final adoption of
the Town's budget for 1979-80 is scheduled for June 20, 1979.
Prior to specific review of each individual department, the Town
Manager noted that certain modifications of the operating budget
have been made by Staff and would be brought to Council's
attention during review of each department's budget. Because of
these revisions and the recent employee salary adjustments, the
proposed 1979-80 operating budget has been increased by $20,578.
It was also noted that the Preliminary Budget does not include
the $1,000 allocation for the Corte Madera Marsh Ecological
Reserve, nor the $1,500 funding requirement which represents
the Town's pro rata share of the Marin County Major Crimes
Task Force.
The Town Manager then proceeded to summarize the individual
department budgets, and the Council action was as follows:
1. 011 Town Council: Mayor Bergsund suggested a possible
reduction in the proposed allocation, however, no action was
taken at this time.
2. 013 Town Attorney: The Town Manager recommended an increase
in the department's allocation from $28,527 to $30,966.
3. 015 Town Manager/Clerk: During the discussion of the Equipment
Maintenance and Contractual Services line items, it was suggested
by Councilman Rockey*that the Town consider utilizing either
word processing or Systems 6 equipment to assist Staff in the
future preparation of budgetary or other Town reports and
correspondence. *and Hanson
4. 016 Debt Service/Open Space: Tentatively approved as
presented.
Mr. John Harrington, representing the Citizens' Finance Advisory
Committee, addressed the Town Council concerning the budgetary
process and recommended certain revisions in budget format.
Specifically, the Committee's suggestions focused on a modified
accrual and encumbrance system of accounting, a proposal to
revise cost allocation procedures and principles, and a method
of allocation of costs to individual service functions. It was
noted that Staff has begun the modified accrual accounting system

page 1
for this fiscal year, and would assist Mr. Harrington and the Committee
concerning re-allocation of non-departmental costs to the appropriate
departmental functions. Hopefully, this can be achieved for the
1979-80 budget and implemented during preparation of the final budget.
5. 017 Non-Departmental: The Town Manager noted that line item 257,
Liability Insurance Fund, should be reduced from $24,500 to $11,500.
Staff stated that consideration was also being given to a change
of CPA firms concerning the Town's annual financial reports or
audit, in accordance with proper fiscal management procedure. Bids
have been received and a local CPA is currently being given
consideration to perform the audit. There was some concern expressed
about a change in auditors solely for the purpose of change. If
the present firm is providing good service to the Town, then it
may be more detrimental in the long run to lose this continuity,
particularly in view of the proposed budget format revisions.
This matter was then deferred, and tentative approval given to this
department.
6. 018 Debt Service: Tentatively approved as presented.
7. 019 PEP Employees (CETA): Tentatively approved as presented.
8. 021 Planning and Building: The Town Manager recommended $3,000
be included in line item 250, Contractual Services. This allocation
is for planning assistance to enable revision of the Town's
zoning ordinance. It was also suggested that less expensive
polaroid cameras should be considered.
9. 031 Police: The Town Manager noted that line item 117, Crossing
Guards, was reduced from $4,800 to $3,200, representing Tiburon's
annual cost sharing for crossing guards at two Tiburon Boulevard
intersections. Councilman Bass expressed concern regarding the
Lyford Drive intersection and requested this item be deferred until
there is further indication by Belvedere concerning their parti-
cipation. The Town Manager also stated that line item 245,
Equipment Maintenance, was possible a low cost estimate due to the
recent increase in the cost of gasoline and present maintenance
problems with certain department vehicles.
Chief Bailey briefly outlined the Police Department's original
budget submitted which placed major emphasis on a request for two
additional police officers. He stated that the level of service
demands by the Community would require two additional officers,
however, the critical need at this time is for one addit~onal
officer. Sgt. Denny, representing the Tiburon Police Association,
endorsed the Chief's recommendation and outlined various reasons
in s~pport of the need for one additional officer. Council
indicated that it would review the Chief's original budget request
information and deferred action concerning approval of the depart-
ment budget at this time. Council directed the Town Manager
to contact Superivsor Rice concerning the status of the Southern
Marin Police Consolidation Committee Report.
10. 041 Streets/Park Maintenance: Tentatively approved as presented.
11. 051 Parks and Recreation: The Town Manager stated the salaries
and fringe benefits as indicated in the proposed budget are final
for 1979-80. Sixty percent (60%) of these costs will be absorbed
by the Belvedere/Tiburon Joint Committee. It was also noted that
no Tiburon funding assistance is proposed this fiscal year for the
Joint Belvedere/Tiburon Recreation Committee. Larry Smith, Chairman
of the Parks and Recreation Commission, advised Council that the
Commission still had considerable park planning requirements
ahead, and he did not forsee any cut back in the Commission's
efforts or functions during 1979-80. This Department budget was
tentatively approved as submitted.
The Chair directed the Town Engineer, Fine Arts, and Heritage
Commission budget sections be continued for review and consid-
eration at the next budget hearing on Monday, June 18th. Rep-
resentatives from the Commissions were urged to attend.

III. BUSINESS
Mayor Bergsund opened the public hearing for continued discussion
and consideration of the 1979-80 Preliminary Town Budget, and proposed
revenue sharing program. This session was the third of three scheduled
public budget hearings.
The Town Manager outlined the budget reveiw to date and indicated
this session would initially consist of continued review of the proposed
Town Engineer's operating budget and the Heritage and Fine Arts
Commission's operating budgets. Primary emphasis would be upon review
and discussion of the proposed Capital Improvement Program for 1979-80.
The Town Manager recommended and Council supported deferring adoption
of the final budget from Wednesday, June 20, to Council's regular
meeting of Monday, July 9, 1979.
l. (043) Town Engineer: The Town Manager recommended an approximate
lO% increase in the retainer fee for the Town's Engineer's services for
1979-80. Rockey suggested Staff develop cost centers for both the
Town Engineer and Town Attorney budgets, and that percentage allocations
of their annual costs be established related to the other operating
budgets as recommended by the Citizens' Finance Advisory Committee. These
being the only suggested revisions, Council gave tentative approval
to the Town Engineer's budget.
2. (053) Fine Arts and (061) Heritage Commissions: The Town
Manager reviewed the proposed Commission's budgets and his prior
recommendation concerning possible consolidation of the Commissions
with the Belvedere/Tiburon Joint Recreation Committee. It was the
consensus of the Council to maintain the present Heritage Commission
structure and support their existing programs and activities. Council
did indicate preliminary interest in a possible merger of the Fine
Arts Commission and the Belvedere/Tiburon Joint Recreation Committee.
Rockey expressed some concern that any consolidation of Commissions
would result in a loss of possible community participation. Hanson
requested the Fine Arts Commission provide a detailed breakdown of the
proposed allocation relating to budget Line Item 277, Community
Activities, Program and Shows. Council suggested the matter of Fine
Arts Commission consolidation with the Joint Recreation Committee be
referred to these bodies, studied by each and a report provided to Council
in September, 1979.
3. (031) Police: Council continued discussion of the Police
Department budget and personnel requests to the regular Council meeting
of July 9, 1979.
4. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM: The Town Manager outlined the
proposed 1979-80 Capital Improvement Program which consists primarily
of Street Maintenance, Drainage Improvements and Community Development
Projects. Each of the specific Capital Improvement projects were reviewed
by Council, along with their specific funding sources. Mayor Bergsund
inquired as to the status of Avenida Miraflores curb repairs and the
need for specific landscape improvements and maintenance in this area~
Superintendent of Public Works Brunini noted the proposed Community
Development improvements south of the Knoll will eventually require
additional landscaping maintenance by the Public Works Department.
~nd specifically the triangle at the intersection of Tib. Blvd. and Avenida
Town Council Minutes #501 June l8, 1979 Page 1 Miraflore
Additional questions by Council were directed regarding the proposed
Police Department re-location and building improvements, steps to be
installed along the Richardson Bay Lineal Park shoreline, and the
amount of funding being recommended for the restoration of the Reedland
Woods School playfield. Council directed the Town Manager to include
$l,OOO funding assistance for the Corte Madera Marsh Ecological Reserve.
These funds are not to be expended until Council has had an opportunity
to review the future project plans and extent of participation by other
jurisdictions.There being no further deletions, revisions or additions,
Council gave tentative approval to the Capital Improvements Program.
5. Tiburon Hills Estates: Hanson reviewed the most recently revised
proposal to be considered by the Marin County Board of Supervisors and
requested Council's comments concerning the modified convers~on. It

a land utilization study including density figures. This information
will also be sent to ABAG and MTC for analysis. The next Priority
Setting Committee meeting will be on July 27, 1979.
B. Hilarita Project/TEA Status Report
Town Representative Dee Moss gave an update report on the status of
the Hilarita. She introduced member-at-large Helen Benedict and
new Hilarita President Marion Burnett. The HIlarita is striving to
be a model, non-profit, moderate income housing project. The most
immediate need is for a playground for the children. They will be
applying for block grant funds for this project. Ms. Moss reported
that there are 102 apartments in the Hilarita, 268 residents, 54 males,
98 females, 116 children, 25 over age 62, 25 rental subsidies, 7 handi-
capped, l5% Black, 6% Oriental, and 9% Hispanic. She concluded her
report by noting that there are some children who will need a subsidy
in order to participate in the Parks and Recreation activities this
summer.
C. Mayor Bergsund reminded everyone of the Town's Fourth of July
Picnic to be held on McKegney Green. Town Manager Kleinert requested
that Council waive the sign ordinance provisions concerning banners and
allow the Chamber of Commerce to utilize a banner to advertise the
picnic. Council agreed.
IV. APPOINTMENTS TO COMMISSION, COMMITTEES, AND BOARDS
Mayor Bergsund announced that there are openings on the Planning
Commission, Board of Adjustments and Review, Parks and Recreation
Commission and Fine Arts Commission at this time. Also, the Marin-

3. DOWNTOWN REFUSE AND DEBRIS PICK-UP
Town Manager Kleinert reviewed the concern expressed by local merchants
and some residents of Corinthian Island regarding the time that the
garbage pick-up begins each morning in the Downtown area. Merchants
would like the garbage picked up as early as possible, beginning at
5:30 a.m. Residents, concerned about the noise generated,want the
garbage piCk-up to begin not earlier than 7 a.m. during the week and
8 a.m. on weekends and holidays. In response to a quest~on from
Councilman Edelstein, Chut Dami of Mill Valley Refuse explained that the
trucks leave their yard at 5 a.m., make a stop in Mill Valley and the
Strawberry Commercial area and then proceed to Tiburon. It is difficult
to determine exactly what time they will begin the pick-up in Tiburon.
Town Council
MInutes #502

Page 2
Mayor Bergsund asked Mr. Dami if MVR could use open trucks in order
to avoid the noise generated by the compactors. Mr. Dami said that
they no longer use open trucks. Edelstein asked if it would be possible
to load the garbage, move to another area and then run the compactor.
Mr. Dami said this would add considerable time to their run. Mayor
Bergsund opened the public hearing. Dr. Sugarman of Corinthian Island
explained that this problem has been in existence for many years. As
spokesman for the Corinthian Island residents, he stated that the garbage
trucks make far too much noise to be allowed to begin their pick-up
earlier. He suggested the town conduct decibel studies to determine how
much noise pollution the trucks cause. Mr. Chuck Koehler agreed with
Dr. Sugarman and said that the answer is noise control, that the noise
is what is extremely bothersome so early in the morning. Mr. Lou
Sabella, owner of Sabella's restaurant, representing the Downtown Merchants
and the Chamber of Commerce, noted that the pick-up is getting later
and later, that is unsightly for the Town to have the garbage on the street
for so long. He agreed that if the MVR could begin the pick-up right at
7 a.m. it would be acceptable. George Haggett said that the street is
often left dirty after the garbage pick-up and that it is unsanitary.
Council asked Mr. Sabella if the merchants can cooperate and hire
someone to sweep or hose down Main Street after the garbage pick up. Mr.
Sabella said efforts to do this in the past have failed but he would
try again. Mr. Dami agreed to investigate why the times vary so much
as to when the trucks arrive in Tiburon to begin the pick up and would
report back in a month. In the meantime it was agreed that the MVR
would not begin pick-up until 7 a.m. on the week days and 8 a.m. on
the weekends.

5. CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION ORDINANCE (Preliminary draft review
of tentative revision to permit procedures)
Director of Community Development Hanna presented the draft review of fue
revision to premit procedures. He explained that this new ordinance
will emcompass all zones. This was on the agenda for discussion purposes
only, as public hearings will have to be held before the Planning Commiss-
ion and Town Council before any adoption of changes. Councilman Bass
asked that the changes in the proposed ordinance be more clearly
defined and that copies of ordinances from other cities be made available.
He also voiced concern about the social implications of condominium
conversions and noted that it may take more than ordinances and law to
address these problems. Hanna explained that the ordinance changes are
not major: one addition however is the requirement of two parking spaces
(off street) for each condominium. Hanson expressed concern about item

7 on page 3 and asked that the word "substantially" be inserted to
"affect the provision of rental housing in the community." Resident
Gene Marans noted that the lot coverage, square footage, is not addressed
and Nat Marans asked about the recent questionnaire sent to Ad Hoc
Committee members regarding square footage requirements for condominium
conversions. Councilman Rockey complimented Hanna on a good start and
said that some of the questions and problems may be solved during the
public hearings before the Planning Commission. Mayor Bergsund*$~4~~$t~~/

7. TIDELANDS - RICHARDSON BAY (Consideratinn of Town ownership~
of State tide lots) ~ould do so at the Planning Commission
public hearing.
Director of Community Development Hanna explained that the tidelands
depicted in the staff report may revert back to the State from the County
by November, 1979. The Town of Tiburon may wish to take title to the
tidelands. Councilman Hanson asked if there would be any cost involved.
Hanna responded just the paper work and registering with the State, but
there would be no additional costs. The tidelands in question are four
long narrow strips of land in Richardson Bay near Strawberry. Because
of their location, Councilman Edelstein asked if ownership of these lands
would in any way hinder annexation of Strawberry in the future. Resident
Jim Mallott of Greenwood Beach Road spoke against the Town acquiring
these tide lands saying that it would just add a layer of bureaucracy.
Superintendent of Public Works Brunini warned Council that ownership of
these tide lands may also require Tiburon residents to pay for the
dredging of the channel.
MOTION:
to send a letter to the County indicating interest in
acquiring these tide lots, including the A-3 area on the
parcel map, on the condition that there are not cost
implications.

Attorney Ragghianti advised Council to determine a definite time line

plan. He noted that if Southern Pacific is unable to meet these dead-
lines then the Town would have a strong position for denial of the plan.
He explained that the burden is on the Town to establish these deadlines
and then on Southern Pacific to meet them. There is only six months
left in the one-year hearing period and if the Town does not act on
the application it automatically is approved at that time. Council direct-
ed Director of Community Development Hanna to establish the series of
deadlines right away.

8. ADOPTION OF THE 1979-80 FINAL TOWN BUDGET (Resolution)
Town Manager Kleinert reviewed the fact that Council had held three
public hearings in reference to the proposed 1979-80 Town Budget. Along
with the public hearings the Citizens' Advisory Finance Committee provided
recommendations concerning improved fiscal management and procedures and
long range financial planning ovjectives. He thanked the Committee for all
their efforts and the time they contributed to this process. Kleinert noted
that we are not yet at a balanced budget as we will have to use some of the
unallocated reserves. Police Chief Bailey explained his concern about the
staffing of the Police Department and once again requested an additional
officer be hired. Steve Denney and John Kim of the Police Department were
also present in support of this request. Councilman Rockey described his
experiences while spending time at the police department and stated,
"the stage is set for some sort of re-organization of the police department,
however, at this time I support the Town Manager's position and I urge
Chief Bailey and Mr. Kleinert to work together towards a solution." Council-
men Bass and Edelstein agreed. Mayor Bergsund also agreed but thought we may
find in the near future the need to hire an additional officer. Citizens'
Finance Advisory Committeemember John Harrington disagreed stating he felt
we need another police officer at this time. Councilman Edelstein stressed
that it is imperative that we are able to pay our current police force an
equitable wage and not be in a situation where there are more policemen but
none are paid fairly.* Virginia Peterson of the Citizens' Finance Advisory
Committee, stressed her feeling that we need another police officer at this
time. Resident Nat Marans questioned Council about abating illegal 2nd units
and requested that this be given a high priority in time, effort and necessary
expense. After a short discussion it was agreed by Council that the Fine
Arts Commission should be self supporting and the $7750 AAAP~AVpAVft~APftAA
