· Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) - Charles McGlashan, Marin County
Board of Supervisors, Diane Steinhauser, Transportation Authority of Marin; Lillian
Hames, SMART (consideration of related resolution under Action Items)
@Town Council Meeting #12-2008
July 16, 2008
Page 1
Vice Mayor Fredericks, who serves as the Town's representative to the Transportation Authority
of Marin, said that a working group of TAM members had held six meetings and presented their
findings to the executive board. She introduced Supervisor Charles McGlashan, who serves as
the Chair of SMART, who noted that the Board of Supervisors had just today voted to place the
[sales tax] measure on the November ballot.
Supervisor McGlashan complimented Lillian Hames of SMART for her work on the project. He
said the SMART Board had prepared a supplemental environmental impact report, ordinance and
spending plan, which had been reviewed extensively. He also complemented Diane Steinhauser
of the Transportation Authority of Marin for her work on a strategy for the plan, and the TAM
Board members and working group for their "value added" work on the project.
Lillian Hames (SMART) said that commuter rail is one of the fastest growing means of
transportation. She cited the success of a light rail program in San Diego and Seattle.
Ms. Hames said that the [Northwest Pacific] railroad right-of-way is currently in public
ownership and can be upgraded. If approved, SMART could be operational in 2014. The train
would go from Cloverdale to Larkspur which is 70 miles with 14 stations. Parallel to the tracks
will be bike and pedestrian trails. The cost of the rail project will be $450 million and the
bicycle and pedestrian pathways will cost $91 million. When asked about funding, Ms. Hames
said they are looking at a 20-year sales tax measure, which was longer than they initially
anticipated, but that upon advice of bond counsel, it would render a more favorable rate and
proceeds for the project. She said the cost assumptions include sales tax revenue but the plan
does not include any state transportation funding.
Other items discussed by Ms. Hames included the following:
· The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been reviewed and there is a
supplemental EIR that includes new station sites.
· They envision a citizen's advisory committee.
· The differences in the lighter and heavier rail cars.
· Cumulative impacts including horn noise and delays.
· There is an operating agreement between NCR and SMART.
· Improvements will be made to the rail and trestles.
In response to a question from Councilmember Berger, she listed some points from opponents of
the project which included concerns about cost, fear of freight being carried on the line,
"NIMBYism", "dirty" diesel, and that the trains cannot be electrified.
With regard to capacity, Ms. Hames said that a heavier car that is being considered has a "seated
load" of 100 passengers, while a lighter car has a "seated load" of 130-137.
Councilmember Gram asked about liability to the Town if the project stalled. Ms. Hames
responded that Assembly Bill 2224 established SMART as a district and there would be no
liability to other agencies. She said that SMART had a 10% contingency and could phase the
project, if necessary, if there was no federal funding or if the contingency was depleted.
In response to additional questions, she said connections to southern Marin would be at the
transit center in downtown San Rafael. Ms. Hames also said that the cost of a ticket will be
established by SMART and estimated it would cost $4.50 for the whole corridor.
Councilmember Berger said that a water taxi that connected with the train would be a good
connection in southern Marin.

Ms. Hames also said that white papers had been prepared and would be distributed to all council
members and city managers to facilitate answering questions.
Diane Steinhauser, Executive Director of the Transit Authority of Marin (TAM), clarified two
questions by stating that there had been efforts to improve access to SMART and that TAM is
studying access to other forms of transportation. She said that an update of the Marin
Transportation Plan is underway, whether SMART is approved or not. She said both the
working group and TAM had looked at issues affecting the SMART plan. TAM also did an
independent analysis of cost assumptions and agreed that they were in accordance with the
funding sources.
Ms. Steinhauser said that language had been adopted that day ensuring that both transit and
transportation funds earmarked for TAM will not be taken by SMART. She said that it was
feasible for them to move forward as planned.
Ms. Steinhauser said that SMART needs to continue to share information with the public. She
said that the TAM working group recognizes that there are still some issues outstanding. She
encouraged SMART to continue their discussions; she said that SMART had been very
responsive to the working group.
Councilmember Collins asked if deck parking at Larkspur Landing had been considered. Ms.
Steinhauser said that discussions were ongoing with the Golden Gate Transit District, as well as
Larkspur City officials, about parking. She said that a parking area was under consideration that
would require commuters to walk about the same distance they currently do from the ferry
landing in San Francisco to the BART station at the Embarcadero.
Councilmember Gram asked what the benefits of the SMART rail are to southern Marin.
Ms. Steinhauser said that one benefit would be the delivery of passengers from the north end of
the corridor to southern Marin for emplOYment, or a reverse commute situation. She also said
that there is a strong case for "if you build it they will come."
Councilmember Gram said that the parking problem had to be solved. Ms. Steinhauser said that
the solutions would come in time and there needs to be more discussion regarding options. She
agreed that Larkspur Landing does not have enough parking now.
Lillian Hames said the benefits of a rail system include improved air quality, getting people out
of their cars, recreational benefits, and less reliance on individual automobiles. She agreed that
parking was an issue. She questioned whether pulling out housing for parking would be a
solution; she said there were other alternatives being discussed; and stated that they were not in
favor of building huge parking lots.
Ms. Hames als.o said that other cities, such as Seattle, were building their second rail system and
that it had been hugely successful.
Supervisor McGlashan said that there were benefits to residents of southern Marin and that the
southern Marin electorate had supported the last ballot measure in 2006. He said that they may
look at a jitney service to the train, or other solutions. McGlashan also said that in 20 years, a
large percentage of Marinites will work in Sonoma.
Supervisor McGlashan thanked the Council for considering a resolution of support; he said that
every year of delay increases the cost of the project about $40 million; he said they will continue
to seek federal funds for the project, as well.

· Draft Update to the County-wide Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan - Eric Anderson,
Alta Planning (consideration of plan will be on future agenda)
Eric Anderson said the update of the County-wide Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan was required
by the state every 5 years. He said that Alta Planning had been designated by TAM to do all of
the updates. He also said that projects to be included in the plan would have community input by
residents and interested groups.
Mr. Anderson said that there had been three countywide meetings since 2006. He said there are
three elements of the plan-policies, projects and programs. He briefly discussed some details of
these elements.
Associate Planner Tyler said the plan will be brought back for Council consideration when the
EIR process is completed.

Chief Cronin said the only change was to the fee structure and the fees have been reduced. He
said there was no change to the map or the fiscal report.
Helen Lindqvist commented regarding the map that included her parcel on Cazadero Lane
within the parking area program. She said Cazadero is a private road and objected to being
included. At any rate, she said that there was no place to park there anyway.
Director of Community Development Anderson said the map included properties which
bordered on the parking area; he said that the map showed that these properties were eligible
for permit parking.
Town Manager Curran said that Ms. Lindqvist would not be negatively impacted by the
inclusion of her property, rather, it presented an option to join the program.
Ms. Lindqvist, speaking on behalf of the Lyford Cove/Old Tiburon Homeowners' Association,
asked whether a portion of Mar West could be added to the parking permit program. She said
that some residents in the vicinity of the Tiburon Peninsula Club often could not find parking
because users of the club parked in front of their houses rather than in the TPC lot.
Town Manager Curran said that the report and resolution did not seek to alter the existing
parking program at this time. She said that staff had not evaluated extending the area and
therefore could not address her question at this meeting. Ms. Lindqvist was advised to submit
a proposal to alter the parking area if she so desired.

ACTION ITEMS
1. Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) - Consider adoption of resolution in
support of SMART measure on the November 4, 2008 ballot (Town Manager Curran)
Vice Mayor Fredericks opened the item to public comment.
Alan Bortel said that he was disappointed that completion of the project will be pushed out two
years longer than previously anticipated.
Supervisor McGlashan said that it would take five years to build the project and the extra time
allows them to run the bonds at a favorable rate time. He said that due to narrow loss of the
ballot measure in 2006, the project will cost $80 million more.
Councilmember Collins said he sees the benefits of SMART in a reduction of greenhouse gas, as
and that residents of Tiburon would benefit because there would be fewer cars going south. He
said that he was happy to hear about shuttle services and thinks it can be done.
Councilmember Berger said he was looking forward to riding the San Diego rail. He said that
more effective connections made at Larkspur would be an attractive option but that he supported
the concept overall.
Supervisor McGlashan responded to Councilmember Gram, stating the Tiburon was the first
town considering endorsement of the ballot measure; however, he said that all of the members of
Draft-Town Council Meeting #12-2008
July 16, 2008
Page 5
the Mill Valley City Council had personally endorsed it. Ms. Steinhauser said that the Sausalito
Council had heard a presentation the issue the night before, with a favorable response.
Vice Mayor Fredericks said there would be positive long-term impacts, with more buses going to
jobs and that Tiburon residents needed bus service, as well. She also said that the Marin County
Visitor's Bureau wanted to capture some of the ridership of tourists going to the Sonoma and
Napa Valleys.
MOTION:
To adopt a resolution in support of the SMART measure on the November 4,

PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. "Green Building" Ordinance - Consider introduction and first reading of ordinance
adding Article vm (Green Building) to Chapter 16 of Town Code to establish Green
Building requirements for new residential and non-residential projects and resolution
establishing Green Rating System (Director of Community Development Anderson)
Community Development Director Anderson reviewed the history of the proposed program and
said that the program was refined and sent to the Planning Commission in June, where it was
approved with a 3-1 vote. He said staff recommended "Build It Green" for residential
development and that the numbers are achievable. Regarding commercial development, the costs
would be based on LEED certification. The residential proposal has an incentive program and
issues with the original LEEDS Program have been worked out. The fiscal impact is minor and
staff has budgeted $5,000 for this fiscal year.
Vice Mayor Fredericks opened the public hearing. There was no public comment. The Vice
Mayor closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Berger asked about the cost to the builders and homeowners. He said that 75
points is not trivial and that he believes builders in this community already employ green
practices that bring them to or near the more common 60 points; requiring 75 points would be
penalizing them for their current good practices. He was reluctant to jump 15 points above what
other communities are doing without first trying the 60-point standard. He further recommended
a change to the proposed process by having the Building Department do the "green" review at the
time of permit rather than requiring an applicant to submit specifications at the design review
level, which was too early for the applicant to make the decisions required by the green
regulations.
Director Ander,son responded that San Rafael's experience was that applicants needed to start
thinking about these requirements very early in the process.
Councilmember Gram suggested solving the issue by making it clear to applicants in the
beginning but requiring them to meet the requisite numbers at the time of permit issuance.
Councilmember Gram asked about the cost of having the "green guys" out for assessment of a
project. Anderson said that it was about $1,000 for a new home (not a remodel). Vice Mayor
Fredericks opined that an applicant might have to have them out twice, once at the beginning of
the project, and again at permit time.

After further discussion, Vice Mayor Fredericks asked if the Council would be happy with lower
points. Councilmember Collins said he would like to see some actual examples of different point
systems. Councilmember Gram said he would like to hear form people with experience in the
industry. Councilmember Berger said he wanted to hear from builders, as well.
Director Anderson suggested continuing the first reading, but noted that if there were any
substantive changes, the item would have to be returned to the Planning Commission for another
reVIew.
Vice Mayor Fredericks continued the public hearing to August 6,2008.
2. Cypress Hollow Landscape & Lighting District (LLD) - Consider renewal of
assessment and adoption of resolution for fiscal year 2008-2009 (Director of
Administrative Services Bigall)
Council waived the staff report.
Vice Mayor Fredericks opened the public hearing. There was no public comment. The Vice
Mayor closed the public hearing.

Authorize Budget Amendment for Preparation of Housing Element
~
Reviewed By:
SUMMARY
State law requires that the Town update its Housing Element every five years. The current cycle
requires that the Town submit its updated Housing Element to the State by July 1,2009.
The Town Council appropriated $25,000 in the FY 2008-2009 budget for this update. However,
more stringent state rules governing Housing Element contents and site analysis have increased
the cost of preparation beyond that envisioned by staff during the budget preparation cycle earlier
this year. The current cost estimate for the Housing Element update is approximately $40,000.
This figure does not include compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Whether the Town is be able to declare a negative declaration or will be required to prepare an
EIR for the Housing Element update will not be known until the draft element is well underway.
The cost differential between the two documents would be substantial. Staff will likely be
returning for an additional budget appropriation once the scope and estimated cost of required
CEQA compliance is better known.
FISCAL IMPACT
Long-range planning efforts of this type are funded by a restricted reserve account, which
currently contains sufficient funds to pay for the Housing Element update and anticipated CEQA
work required for the update. There will be no impact on the Town's operating budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize a budget amendment in the amount of$15,000 from the Long-Range Planning Reserve
Fund for purposes of updating the Town's General Plan Housing Element.

Recommendation to Authorize the Town Manager to Execute Two Task
Orders With Harrison Engineering, Inc. Consultants In Amounts Not-To-
Exceed $118,000 and $122,300 To Prepare Plans and Specifications and To
Provide Construction Management For the Del Mar Safe Routes To School
and Non-Motorized Transportation Pilot Projects
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
Within the past year, staff applied for and was awarded two federal grants in the total amount of
$752,165 to develop two separate projects. The projects are described below:
a. The Del Mar Routes to School (SR2S) project includes repainting and painting ladder
crosswalks along Tiburon Boulevard and those in the vicinity of Del Mar Middle School,
and widening the sidewalk along A venida Miraflores in front of Del Mar Middle School.
The Town received a 100% federally funded grant in the amount of$352,165 for
engineering, design and construction of the project.
b. The Non-Motorized Transportation Pilot (NTPP) program Paths, Lanes, and Steps project
entails (1) rehabilitating the walking path at Lower Raccoon Lane from Centro West
Street to Mar West Street and designing a ramp or steps at the north end; (2) rehabilitating
the walking path at Cayford Drive and constructing a curb ramp at the west end; and (3)
reconstructing a set of pedestrian steps and the walking path from Jefferson Drive to Reed
R~ch Road along the existing alignment. The Town received a 100% federally funded
grant in the amount of$350,000 for engineering, design and construction of the project.
To provide the necessary engineering and support services, staff sought consultant support and
undertook a request for proposal (RFP) process to identify an appropriate firm. Staff has received
and reviewed two separate consulting proposals from Harrison Engineering, Inc., (not to be
confused with Harris and Associates - a different firm) to provide environmental clearance,
design, and construction management assistance for both the SR2S and NTPP federally funded
projects. The proposals and engineering firm ideally suit the Town's needs.
'To\\ n C\)unctl \.lccting
August 6, lc108
The funds needed are a greater proportion of the project than typical projects due to the nature of
the federal grants which necessitates more oversight, reporting and archeological review. We
believe there will be efficiencies that result from undertaking these projects in tandem that may
lower costs in the end.
FISCAL IMPACT
Harrison Engineering, Inc, an engineering firm the Town has worked with successfully in the
past, is prepared to assist the Town with both of these federally funded projects. They have
provided competent proposals for both projects with fees not-to-exceed $118,000 for the Safe
Routes to School project, and $122,300 for the Non-Motorized Transportation Pilot project.
These are reasonable proposals which staff recommends.
Although both projects will be receiving federal reimbursement for development and
construction, these projects have been included in the 2008-2009 fiscal year Town budget to
initiate the work.
RECOMMENDA TION
Staff recommends that the Town Council move to authorize the Town Manager to:
a. Execute a task order with Harrison Engineering, Inc. in an amount not-to-exceed
$118,000 to provide environmental clearance, design, and construction management
assistance for the Del Mar Safe Routes to School project; and
b. Execute a task order with Harrison Engineering, Inc. in an amount not-to-exceed
$122,300 to provide environmental clearance, design, and construction management
assistance for the Non-Motorized Transportation Pilot (NTPP) program Paths, Lanes, and

Recommendation to Award the Pine Terrace Pedestrian Path
Improvement Construction Project to Maxicrete, Inc.
Reviewed By:
~
BACKGROUND
On October 3 rd, 2007, the Council authorized staff to advertise and seek bids for the construction
of the Pine Terrace Pedestrian Path Improvement project. Staff worked with Caltrans over the
next seven months to acquire a highway encroachment permit since the site interfaces with
Tiburon Boulevard. The project was subsequently posted and advertised as required by the Public
Contract Code. In addition to the required advertising notice, the Town sent notices inviting bids
to construction trade publication plan rooms, and bids were recently opened on July 25, 2008.
The Town received four bids:
. Maxicrete, Inc. in the amount of $164, 175,
. W.R. Forde Associates in the amount of $184,990,
. W.K. McLellan in amount of$194,088.50, and
. Ghilotti Brothers, Inc. in the amount of $312, 130.
The Engineer's Estimate was $209,000 for the project.
Work will involve the improvement of the existing paved connection path including tree
trimming, re-grading, a restored asphalt surface 5 feet wide, and handrails for ADA accessibility.
It also includes the construction of a new access path to McKegney Green which will follow the
general direction of the existing informal path and will be 4 feet wide with either a stabilized soil
or mulch material surfacing.
Staff has reviewed the bid proposals and found them to be consistent. The low bidder, Maxicrete,
Inc., is a qualified contractor with a valid Contractor's License, and is responsive to the contract
specifications with reasonable references.
row n (() unc.il:vlcl'ting
If the project is approved by Council, the following general timeline can be established:
. Contract documents could be executed by the end of August.
. A preconstruction meeting could be scheduled by mid September.
. Construction could start by the end of September.
. With twenty five (25) working days allocated for this project, the bulk of the work could
be completed by early November, 2008.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on the recent low bid and a 15 percent contingency for any approved unforeseen work,
$188,801 will be needed to complete the project. Sufficient funds have been budgeted in this
fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
Approve the award of a construction contract for the Pine Terrace Pedestrian Path
Improvement to Maxicrete, Inc. in the amount of $164,175, plus 15 percent for
contingency, or $24,626.

TOWN OF TIBURON

Tiburon, CA 94920
T own Council Meeting
August 6, 2008
Agenda Item: CC - C
STAFF REPORT
To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council
From: Office of the Town Manager
Subject: Recommendation to approve Memorandum of Understanding with Point
Tiburon Bayside Condominium Association regarding maintenance and
irrigation of the parking lot and landscaping at Paradise Dr. and Mar West St.
Reviewed By: ~.
BACKGROUND
When the Pt Tiburon Bayside condominiums were created, the developer was required to
improve and deed to the town a piece of land at Mar West Street and Paradise Drive for public
parking purposes. Improvements included an irrigation system, which is part of the larger system
that serves the Association property. Responsibility for ongoing maintenance for the property is
not spelled out in the original agreements, and has shifted over time between the Town and the
Association. The Association approached the Town to seek clarification of the arrangement.
The attached MOU proposes to split the responsibility for the maintenance of the parking lot
between the Town and the Association. The Town will maintain the landscaping, including
keeping the trees trimmed to a reasonable height, and will fix broken sprinkler heads and other
surface aspects of the irrigation system that get damaged by public use. The Association will
continue to irrigate the property, paying both for water and for major maintenance to the
irrigation system. Either party may withdraw from the MOU upon proper notice to the other
party.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Staff believes it can resume maintenance of this small area without any incremental cost increase
in staffing or supplies.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council move to:
1. Approve the attached Memorandum of Understanding between the Town of Tiburon
and the Point Tiburon Bayside Condominium Association.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
MAR WEST/PARADISEPARKINGLOT
THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING made and entered into this _ day of
, 2008, by and between the TOWN OF TIBURON, a municipal corporation ("Town")
and the PT. TIBURON BA YSIDE CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, a nonprofit mutual benefit
corporation organized under the Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation Law ("Association").
RECIT ALS
A. Approximately 25 years ago, the Innisfree Companies ("Developer") developed the Pt.
Tiburon project in the Town. The project's subdivision improvement agreement
("Subdivision Agreement) required the Developer to construct a parking lot at the comer of
Paradise Drive and Mar West Street ("Parking Lot"). The Subdivision Agreement is
ambiguous as to the responsibility for maintaining the Parking Lot.
B. Since project completion, the Association has provided water for irrigation purposes. For
much of that time, including the last ten years, the Association has also maintained the
landscaping of the Parking Lot. However, the Town maintained the landscaping of the
Parking Lot for at least one extended period of years since project completion.
C. The Association now contends that the Town may be responsible for maintaining the
Parking Lot. The Town disputes this contention. Both parties wish to settle this controversy
amicably and accordingly are entering into this agreement to share maintenance
responsibilities without conceding responsibility for the Parking Lot in the absence of this
agreement.
AGREEMENT
I. Scope of Town Duties. Town will maintain the landscaping and pavement of the Parking
Lot except as otherwise provided herein. The Town's maintenance duties shall consist of
keeping trees and other vegetation pruned in a reasonable manner and making minor repairs
to the irrigation system. For purpose of this Memorandum, "minor repairs" shall mean the
repair or replacement of the surface components of the irrigation system located on the
Parking Lot.
2. Scope of Association Duties. The Association will supply water sufficient to the Parking
Lot irrigation system to maintain the landscaping at its current level and shall be responsible
for any non-minor repairs to the irrigation system.
3. Mutual Indemnities. The Town shall indemnify, defend and hold the Association harmless
from and against claims, liabilities, suits, loss, cost, expense and damages to the extent
caused by Town's negligent act or omission or willful misconduct in the performance of the
Town's duties under this Memorandum. The Association shall indemnify, defend and hold
the Town harmless from and against claims, liabilities, suits, loss, cost, expense and
damages to the extent caused by Association's negligent act or omission or willful
Mar West Pkg Lot, MOU 2008

misconduct in the performance of the Association's duties under this Memorandum.
4. Term of Contract Automatic Renewat Termination. This agreement shall have a one- year
term and shall automatically renew for additional one year terms on the anniversary of its
effective date unless either party gives the other party written notice of intent to terminate.
The terminating party must give said notice no less than four months prior to the next
anniversary date.
5. Implementation of MOD. The Town Manager shall be authorized to manage this MOD,
including but not limited to interpretation and termination thereof. The Town Manager shall
also have the authority to negotiation and execute amendments to this MOD provided that
such amendments do not substantially increase the Town's obligations.
6. Miscellaneous.
A. Governing Law. The laws of the State of California shall govern this Agreement.
B. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or
unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining portions shall not be
affected unless the effect thereof would materially change the economic burden on
either party.
C. Successors in Interest Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding on the assigns
and successors in interest to both parties. Neither party may assign their obligations
under this Agreement without the written consent of the other party.
D. Entire Agreement Amendment. This Agreement represents the entire Agreement
between the parties. This Agreement may only be amended in writing.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have caused their duly authorized representatives to
execute this Agreement the day and year above written.

STAFF REPORT
To:
Mayor and Members of the Town Council
From:
Office of the Town Manager
Subject: Recommendation to Approve a Resolution Urging the State Legislature to
~v' o.rr. owing Local Funds to Balance the State Budget
. I A~)
Reviewed By: '--C"
BACKGROUND
As a member of the Legislative Committee of the Marin County Council of Mayors and
Councilmembers (MCCMC), Vice Mayor Fredericks is involved in monitoring state legislative
issues that affect cities and towns. In that capacity, Vice Mayor Fredericks brought the proposed
resolution on the state budget forward to the Town's Legislative Action Sub-Committee, which is
comprised of Vice Mayor Fredericks and Mayor Slavitz. The Sub-Committee, in turn, has placed
this item on the agenda for Town Council action.
ANAL YSIS
The state budget continues in a crisis mode. The state constitutional budget adoption deadline of
July I has come and gone, yet there is no resolution of how the state will close the approximately
$16 million budget gap. One of the strategies that has emerged is to balance the budget, at least
in part, by borrowing funds from local governments. The attached resolution urges the State
Legislature to avoid this short-sighted step and find more appropriate and lasting means of
addressing the imbalance between revenues and expenditures at the state level.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no impact associated with the passage of this Resolution per se. Should the Resolution
prove useful as part of the overall strategy to deter the State Legislature from borrowing local
funds, that outcome would be financially beneficial to Tiburon and cities throughout California.
RECOMMENDATION
The Legislative Action Sub-Committee and staff recommend that the Town Council:
Move to approve the attached Resolution urging the State Legislature to avoid borrowing
funds from local governments to balance the state budget.

OF 1
RESOLUTION NO. XX-2008
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON OPPOSING STATE BUDGET ACTIONS THAT
WOULD BORROW OR SEIZE LOCAL GOVERNMENT, REDEVELOPMENT
AND TRANSPORTATION FUNDS
WHEREAS, the State Legislature missed its Constitutional budget adoption
deadline on July 1, 2008; and
WHEREAS, both the Governor and the Legislative Budget Conference
Committee have recommended balanced budgets without resorting to "loans" from or
seizures of local government property tax, redevelopment tax increment and
transportation sales tax funds; and
WHEREAS, in 1952, the voters of California approved Article XVI, Section 16
of the California Constitution, providing for tax increment financing for community
revitalization-but not for balancing the state budget;
WHEREAS, in 2004, by an 84% margin, the voters of California approved
another important measure, Proposition 1 A, that sent an unambiguous message to state
leaders that they should cease the practice of taking local government funds to finance the
state budget; and
WHEREAS, in 2006, by a 77% margin, the voters of California approved
Proposition 42, providing similar protections to transportation funding for state and local
transportation projects, including important street maintenance and public transit
programs; and
WHEREAS, both ballot measures allow the Governor to declare a "severe state of
fiscal hardship" and "borrow" these funds if they are repaid in three years with interest,
WHEREAS, the Governor did declare such a "severe state of fiscal hardship" on
January 10, 2008, making such borrowing permissible; and
WHEREAS, "borrowing" such funds would only serve to deepen the state's
structural deficit and cripple local government and transportation services; and
WHEREAS, a "severe state of fiscal hardship" must be resolved by meaningful
compromises by the Governor and State Legislature to balance the budget in a
responsible and lasting manner; and
Tiburon Town Council Resolution No. xx-2008 August 6, 2008
Page 1 of2
WHEREAS, the Legislature should balance the state budget with state revenues
and respect the overwhelming judgment of voters by not using local property taxes,
redevelopment tax increment and transportation sales tax funds to fund the day-to-day
operating cost of state programs; and
WHEREAS, city investments in infrastructure, affordable housing and basic
public safety and other community services will create needed jobs and speed our
economic recovery and should not be hampered by State seizure of local funding;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town of Tiburon hereby
opposes efforts by state government to "borrow" or seize local tax funds, redevelopment
tax increment and transportation sales tax funds by the state government to finance state
operations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor of Tiburon is hereby directed to
sign this resolution and the Town Manager is directed to communicate the Tiburon Town
Council's position on this matter to our State Legislature and the Governor.

Subject:
Appointments to Town Boards, Commissions and Committees
~
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
Since the beginning of the year, the Town Council has interviewed 28 candidates for vacancies
on Town boards and commissions-Planning Commission, Design Review Board, Jt.
Recreation, and the newly-formed POST (Parks, Open Space & Trails) Commission-and has
appointed applicants to the following positions: Planning Commission, two vacancies (Cathy
Frymier and John Corcoran); Design Review Board, two vacancies (Bryan Chong and Michael
Tollini); POST Commission (Ralph Leighton, Peter Winkler, Mike McMullen, Jill Sperber, Phil
Feldman); Marin Commission on Aging (Allan Bortel); and Library Agency Board of Directors
(Mary Falk). These appointments created another vacancy on the Design Review Board, and the
resignation of two members of the Jt. Recreation Committee resulted in the two existing
vacancies on that board.
Several of the applicants for the POST commission indicated their interest in other commissions,
as well. One applicant from this group has been scheduled to interview with the Council tonight
(see exhibit 1). Another POST applicant has subsequently applied for the Design Review Board
(exhibit 2). The resumes of two other applicants with multiple interests are attached (exhibits 3 &
4). Another applicant, Matt Turley, expressed interest in the Recreation Committee but is unable
to serve at this time.
In summary, there are two remaining vacancies to be filled: one on the Design Review Board
and two on the Jt. Recreation Committee.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council consider the following actions:
a) Interview the remaining applicant;
b) Make appointments to fill the vacancies on Design Review Board and Jt. Recreation
Committee from the pool of applicants;
c) Direct staff to schedule second interviews with any of the previous applicants;
d) Direct staff to continue to advertise and schedule interviews for one or all of these
vacancies on the Design Review Board and Jt. Recreation Committee.

Reasons for Selectinf!
The POST commission is of particular interest to me for many reasons. I am a lifelong
participant in nunlerous 'open space' activities including hiking, camping and
backpacking, Dlountain biking, diving, hunting, and gardening. Maintaining access to
open space and parks in Tiburon is increasingly important to me now that I am the proud
father ofa 2-1/2 year old daughter who will grow up as part this community. Meanwhile,
my wife was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis several years ago and this has sensitized
me to note (with a critical eye) access issues for the disabled and elderly. My
considerable experience in the outdoors bas led me to become a hue believer in the
outdoors as a source of health and pride in the conununity. Preserving these resources is
of great interest to me as a father, husband, and Tiburon resident.
Applicable Qualifications
My key qualifications are as follows. First, I have worked as a Inunicipal bond analyst for
over ten years, first as a credit rating analyst and now for a Inunicipal bond insurance
conlpany. In this capacity I have reviewed and analyzed thousands of municipal credits
including cities, counties, utilities, and special districts. This gives me a broad
understanding of public finance as well as how effective management and oversight can
positively or negatively impact financial resources and in infrastructure maintenance.
Among other lessons learned, open space and parks are good indicators of a community's
priorities relative to quality of life. These resources are key to the long-term goal of a
sustainable, healthy and strong underlying economy.
A second qualification is my educational background. Prior to nlY cun'ent career in public
finance I completed a Political Science degree at U.C. Davis and subsequently completed
a Masters of Public Adlninistration at use. In conjunction with numerous internships in
Sacramento and Washington DC, my understanding of govermnent at all levels (federal,
state, and local) has a solid academic basis, This has provided me with a solid foundation
upon which my current 'real-world' experience in public finance and mlll1icipal analysis is
based.
Lastly, I strongly believe in the role of public service to one's conununity and that this
position is a logical step for me personally and professionally while delivering to the
Tiburon conununity my deep and sincere interest, passion, and energy. I recognize that
my time within this cOlnmunity has only just begun but aIU hopeful that this will give me
an opportunity to meet with local leadership and work to sustain the nature of this
conununity that has drawn my family and me here.
Thank you.

TO: Mayors, City Managers and City Clerks
RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference - September 24-27, Long Beach
The League's 2008 Annual Conference is scheduled for September 24-27 in Long Beach. An
important part of the Annual Conference is the Annual Business Meeting, scheduled for 8:30
a.m., September 27, at the Long Beach Convention Center. At this meeting, the League
membership considers and takes action on resolutions that establish League policy.
In order to vote at the Annual Business Meeting, your city council must designate a voting
delegate. In the event that the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity, your
city may appoint up to two alternate voting delegates. In 2006, the ability to appoint up to two
alternates was the result of approval of a League bylaws amendment that increased the number
of voting delegate alternates from one to two.
Please complete the attached Voting Delegate form and return it to the League's office no
later than September 5, so that voting delegate/alternates records may be established prior
to the conference. At the conference, voting delegate forms may be returned to the Voting
Delegate Desk located in the conference registration area.
Please note the following procedures that are intended to ensure the integrity of the voting
process at the Annual Business Meeting.
. Action by Council Required. Consistent with League bylaws, a city's voting delegate
and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. When completing the
attached Voting Delegate form, please attach either a copy of the council resolution that
reflects the council action taken, or have your city clerk or mayor sign the form affirming
that the names provided are those selected by the city council. Please note that
designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and
cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
. Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be
registered to attend the conference. At least one must be present at the Business Meeting
and in possession of voting card in order to cast a vote. Voting delegates and alternates
-more-
are requested to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the
voting delegate card at the Voting Delegates Desk. This will enable them to receive the
special stamps on their name badges that will admit them into the voting area during the
Business Meeting.
. Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting
card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only
between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find
themselves unable to attend the Business Meeting, they may not transfer the voting card
to another city official.
. New Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the Business Meeting, individuals
with the voting card will sit in a separate area. Admission to this area will be limited to
those individuals with a special stamp on their name badge identifying them as a voting
delegate or alternate. If the voting delegate and alternates wish to sit together, they should
be sure to sign in at the Voting Delegate desk and obtain the special stamps on their badges.
The Voting Delegate desk in the conference registration area will be open September 24, 25 and
26, and prior to the Business Meeting on September 27. The conference registration area will
open at 12:00 p.m., on September 24, at the Long Beach Convention Center. The Voting
Delegate desk will also be open at the Business Meeting, but not during a roll call vote, should
one be undertaken.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo. Please share
it and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals your council designates as
your city's voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for completing the voting delegate and alternate form and returning it to
the League office by September 5. If you have questions, please call Mary McCullough at
(916) 658-8247.

Town Council Meeting
August 6, 2008
Agenda Item: 'j) I.J-I
STAFF REPORT
To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council
From: Town Department Heads
Subject: Recommendation to Introduce and Pass First Reading of Ordinance
Amending Title VI, Chapter 23 of the Municipal Code (Motor Vehicles and
Traffic)
Reviewed By: ~/
BACKGROUND
Title VI, Chapter 23 of the Tiburon Municipal Code governs motor vehicles and traffic in the
Town. The Town Council performed its last comprehensive update of Chapter 23 in 1996. The
Council amended the chapter in 1999 to regulate rollerblades, skateboards and similar devices
and in 2001 to prohibit overnight parking of oversized vehicles.
With the passage of time, Town staffhas noted several new problems warranting amendments to
Chapter 23:
· The expanding variety - and popularity -- of recreational devices such as
skateboards, scooters, in-line skates, and the like has created conflicts with other
users and risks to public and private property.
· Vehicles parking overnight in the Blackie's Pasture Park parking lot.
· Vehicles, and non-motorized containers and equipment left overnight on Tiburon
Boulevard and in residential neighborhoods.
· The Police Department's continuing difficulty enforcing the existing Municipal
Code Section 23-32, regulating storage of vehicles on streets.
ANAL YSIS
1. Skateboards~ scooters and similar devices. The ordinance would revise Section 23-
23 of the Municipal Code to expand its application to skateboards, in-line skates,
roller skates, pocket bikes, or any motorized or non-motorized coaster, bicycle, toy
vehicle, or similar device. It would also simplify implementation of the regulation by
allowing the Town Manager to prohibit these devices anywhere she found them to be
unsafe or inappropriate, by posting a sign. Lastly, the ordinance specifically identifies
use of those devices in Shoreline Park and in Fountain Plaza as unsafe or
inappropriate.
TOWN OF TIBURON
PAGE 1 OF 2
2. Overni!!ht Parkin!! in Blackie's Pasture.. on Tiburon Boulevard~ and on Streets in
Residential Areas. The ordinance would create three new subsections of Section 23-
31. Subsection (a) is the same as the current law. The new subsection (b) would
prohibit overnight parking of vehicles in Blackie's Pasture between the hours of 3
a.m. and 6 a.m. without Town permission and would also prohibit overnight parking
on Tiburon Boulevard, where signed by the Town. New Subsection (c) allows similar
overnight parking prohibitions, where signed, on streets in residential areas.
3. Placin!! of Dumpsters~ Debris Boxes~ and Similar Containers in Blackie's Pasture
and Richardson Bav Lineal Park~ on Tiburon Boulevard~ and on Streets in
Residential Areas. New Subsection (d) of Section 23-31 would prohibit placement
of dumpsters, debris boxes, and similar containers in Blackie's Pasture Park, on
Tiburon Boulevard, and on streets in residential areas without Town permission.
4. Stora!!e of Vehicles on Public Streets. At present, Section 23-32 requires motorists
parking on public streets to move their vehicles by at least one car length every three
days. According to the Police Department, this regulation has proved ineffective to
achieve the section's goal of prohibiting the use of the public streets for long-term
vehicle storage. Accordingly, Chief Cronin recommends that the Town increase the
minimum distance to 1000 feet, as provided in the draft ordinance.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Town staff does not anticipate any financial impact from these proposed changes to the Town's
Municipal Code.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
1.
2.
3.
Conduct a public hearing on the proposed new ordinance;
By motion, read the ordinance by title only; and
Pass first reading of the ordinance by roll call vote.
