D. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. 1990-91 TOWN BUDGET (Introduction of Proposed Budget and Review of
Budget Summaries, Revenues and Expenditures, Restricted Funds and
Departmental Operating Budgets)
The Town Manager summarized his budget message and provided the Town Council
with an overview of Tiburon's proposed financial plan for 1990-91. He stressed the
budget was a balanced budget with projected revenues exceeding anticipated
expenditures by a small margin. The past five years the Town has been somewhat
dependent upon one time revenues received from such sources as assessment district
fees, litigation settlements and insurance refunds. The Town Manager emphasized
the budget program was an attempt to continue to provide a high level of public
services to the community, while maintaining adequate reserves in the Town's key
restricted funds.
Finance Director Richard Stranzl reviewed the Revenues, Expenditures and
Restricted Funds summaries and highlighted the primary expenditure items in the
Town Council, Town Attorney and Town Manager Departments' budgets.
Planning Director Jack Lohman stated the 1990-91 budget proposal in the Planning
& Building Department continues certain reorganization and reclassification efforts.
He noted the employee reclassifications would be more reflective of their actual job
functions and responsibilities and provide promotional opportunities and incentives
within the Department. A majority cost item for 1990-91 is the Department's efforts
to up-grade and maintain the Town's new General Plan elements, Zoning
Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and related documents. This cost is estimated
at approximately $43,000 for next fiscal year, however, it should be considerably
less in subsequent years.
Chief Herley briefly reviewed the proposed Police Department budget for 1990-91
and noted the Department was not requesting any new personnel or capital
equipment. The Department's budget proposal was only slightly more than last
year's budget. The Police Community Service Officers are being reduced from six
to two and two full time Police Dispatchers have been requested in place of the
Community Service Officers. Chief Herley noted that recruitment and retention
continues to be an on-going problem and there is a significant need in the
Department for an Investigator's position.
Public Works Superintendent Lou Brunini stated that in both the Streets and
Drainage Department and Parks & Open Space Department, the budget programs
remain essentially the same and costs having only increased modestly. He did note
that certain Line Item costs are not directly related to his Department and the
revenues to off-set these costs are not reflected in his Department budget.

The Town Manager stated the Town Engineer and Town Commission Departments
are basically the same as the prior year.
The Town Manager indicated that Ellie Spater from County Mediation Services was
in attendance in support of the Town's annual funding assistance to their program.
Although this proposed expenditure was in the Town's Capital Improvement
program he recommended that Council's provide Ms. Spater with the Towns'
support of the $1,650 allocation at this time. Council members indicated their
support and directed that monies be appropriated for this purpose for next fiscal
year.
Don Batten commented that he and the other Belveron residents in attendance were
in support of continued street repairs and improvements in the Belveron area. He
acknowledge the work that has been done in the past and hopes the Town has
sufficient funds to continue these efforts in the future.
The Planning Director questioned the Town Council regarding Marin County
Planning's inquiry about the Cypress Hollow development. Mayor Logan directed
the issue be submitted to the Planning Commission for their comments in addition
to Town Stafl"s.
E. ADJOURNMENT
