The ordinance having been so read, it was moved by Drohan, seconded

of the City Council respecting this property:
January 26, 1970
Minutes #184
Page 2
1. That maximum density shall not exceed 1.5 units per
residential acre;
2. That the full Planning Commission shall review and
recommend action on the General and Precise Plans for
the property prior to action by the Board of Design
Review.
Debate on the motion ensued. The Planning Director, in presenting the
revised plans, observed that under the existing RO-l zoning it would
be difficult to achieve any of the elements of the general plan, the
trails plan, or the zoning map.
Mr. Rampton Harvey was heard in opposition to any plan which would
allow a 60 percent increase in density over that obtainable under the
existing RO-l zoning.
Mr. Robert Hayne urged that the matter be returned to the Planning
Commission for review of the amendments.
Mr. B. Falk, 19 Tanfield Road, also urged further study of the proposed
rezoning. Mr. Stephen Heller, as co-applicant, expressed preference
for the RP zoning.
In response to the issues raised, Drohan observed that the Planning
Commission h~d already recommended RP zoning for the area and that
this was no longer in debate, only the question of the increase in
density to be allowed under RP zoning.
After further discussion by the City Council, Drohan withdrew the
main motion ~vith permission of the seconder. Thereafter, he moved
that the city policy regarding the property in question be that the
maximum density should be set at 56 units unless particular excel-
lence of design and open space dedication should warrant a maximum
of up to 1.5 units per acre; secondly, that the full Planning Commis-
sion shall review and recommend action on the General and Precise plans
for the property prior to any action by the Board of Design Review.

report on details of the damage suffered, together,with ~easUres taken
immediately to remove the damage from public property and to protect
against further d2mage, including the provision of an emergency supply
of sandbags 2!ld sump pumps. Drohan raised the question in the letter
from the Pine Terrace Property Owners Association asking the City to
take further corrective steps with respect to the drainage system
serving the Pine Terrace area. The City Engineer responded that
temporary measures had proven effective and he would submit as a budget
item for the next fiscal year proposals for permanent improvements.
The City Manager lIas instructed to take whatever action he determined
necessary to control the hazardous traffic situation on Mar West in
the area of the slide near 1661 Mar Hest.
The Chair alluded to the threat of litigation by the Belvedere Lagoon
Property ~vners Association against the City of Tiburon and others
with respect to runoff into the lagoon and suggested a renewal of
efforts as between the Lands and Development Committee and with the
Public Services Committee and the State Division of Highways needing
to reconstruct Tiburon Boulevard, since the city had no~v installed a
drainage system and the Grades for downtown had been set.
Bremer proposed a ~e-examination of the McCreery-Koretsky 1969 down-
to't']n drainage basin survey to see Hhat measures might be taken from
amongst tile Ge~lcral proposals in the report short of the total
$400,000 project recommended therein.
Mr. John Schiffeler, president of the Pine Terrace Property Owners
Association, ~Gked how soon money might be allocated for permanent
correction of the drcLinage problems in their area, and Rice responded
that the city could proceed on a priority basis by examining the
projects alrc2dy allocated in the current budget in determining whether
a neH syst(~m of priorities should be set, up, in view of the problems
no'\.] coming to light.
Mrs. Pat Pickett, 1800 Vistazo f~st, was advised by the Chair that
problems lvith the drainage facilities and utilities easements were
the responsibility of the abutting property owners.
To a question by Mr. John Luc, the City Manager responded that the
county had been declared a county disaster area only by the Small
Business Administration, Hhose funds would be available to private
property owners to ~estore their property. Mr. Stewart Hopkins,
president of the Hill Ilaven Property Owners Association, was advised by
the Chair that, although the city did not have a master drainage
plan, elements of the various systems 'tvere mapped and available to
the city.
Ellin't'700d spoke to [l report of her survey of storm damage containing
certain recommendations, which was referred to the City Engineer
for response.
The City Manager advised the council of the issuance of General Order
No. 22, dated J~nuary 7, 1970, setting up certain guidelines to be
applied when considering cuts and fills made by grading individual
lots. These guidelines were intended to reduce the incidents of
erosion.

TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP
Hans R. Meyer
Action: Resolution No. 270 adopted
with five-foot easement.
By AB 297 of January 26, 1970, the Lands and Development Committee
brought before the council an application by Hans R. Meyer of Deak &
Co., for a resubdivision of four lots, Nos. 6, 7, 11 and a portion of
Porto Marino Estates and a portion of lot 3 of Del Miramar, into six
lots. The Planning Director stated since action on this matter by the
Planning Commission the applicants have sold the parcel immediately to
the northeast of the subdivision, and therefore preferred an alternate
trail easement shoHn as option No. 2 on the proposed resubdivision
plan.
The Planning Director recommended alternate #1 should be revised to
exclude the lot in question and instead be a minimum 5-foot easement
wholly on the adjacent parcel, or an in-lieu payment be made for path-
way acquisition and development in the neighborhood.
It was moved by Drohan, seconded by Bremer, that Resolution No. 270
be adopted.
As suggested by the Planning Commission in its recommendations, Drohan
requested the minutes reflect the decision to put the five-foot
easement into the adjoining piece of property, which is under the
control of the developer, and recommended alternate No. 1 as a more
logical pnthway.
t~. J. M. Hall, 160 Porto Marino Drive, adjacent to the west of this
subdivision, was recognized and indicated objection to alternate
pnth #2 and approval of path #1.
To a question by Mr. Robert Wayne as to whether or not the reorganiza-
tion into six lots satisfied the requirements of the slope angle, the
Planning Director stated in the affirmative.
Mr. Arthur Lang, representing Mr. Hans R. Meyer, objected on behalf of
his clients to the alignment of the path as uneconimically dividing the
property.
Mr. Joseph Sabella of 15 Mar Terrace expressed his approval of the
path easement.
Question was called on Drohan's motion to adopt Resolution No. 270
with alternate No. 1 as indicated, the 10-foot easement to be changed
to five feet, and carried:

cation by Enrbo~ Carriers, Inc., to the Public Utilities Commission

AB 308
INTERIM PROVISIONS FOR
RUBBISH DISPOSAL BY HOUSEHOLDERS
Action:

By AB 308 of January 26, 1970, the City Manager proposed several
alternative methods to provide for rubbish disposal as a substitute

District. The Chair suggested that the bill be referred to the
Public Services Committee for revie\1 of the findings and recom-
mendations of the City Manager, thereafter to be returned to the
agenda for the first meeting in February.
Drohan moved that the City Manager be authorized to contract ~1ith the
Mill Valley Refuse Company for a refuse box to be placed at the
Tiburon Sanitary District Plant on Mar W2St; secondly, that a sum of
$600 be appropriated for this purpose for a period of five months;

the desirability of its continuation. The motion was seconded by

Deb~te on the 2~tion cJsJed.
Proposals were ~~J~ to ~mcnd Section 15 b-5 and delete subsection (c)
of Section 15 b-8. Objections were heard to the allocation of as
much as 50 pc~cent of the cost to the owner of the tree; to the
formalized approzch to such a disputatious subject; to the conclusion
that trees \'7-::::'e always an obstruction and not an enhancement of views;
to the assumptio:1 that a view was more important and of greater value
than privacy; to the refund of the $50 deposit; to the absence of a
misdemeanor clause; to the legality of requiring defendant property
owner to pay any of the costs. Support was given to the ordinance by
Mr. Stewart Hopkins, ~vho observed that many trees originally planted
to protect privacy had grown, and would continue to grow, to the
point where they did obstruct views.
The council also heard from representatives of the Parks and Recrea-
tion Commission, who invited attention specifically to the points of
their me~orandum of January 27, 1970.
Deb~te being concluded, the ordinance was returned to the City Attorney

~aving exhausted all of his benefits, and the Chief of Police Services
was soliciting contributions from merchants in the town, a practice
to which she objected because of its potential bad effects. The City
Manager responded to the question by noting that the deputy, possib:.y.
Deputy Spurrell was not on duty; was riding his motorcycle for
pleasure, and was forced to spill out when a car stopped suddenly in
front of him. "fuile undoubtedly he was seriously injured, numerous
benefits in comp.time, cick leave, vacation, and sheriffs' assistance
fund was available to the deputy, lvho was nowhere near losing any
income because of the injury; and so far as the solicitation was con-
cerned, no authorization had been given to anybody to solicit funds,
nor did the City Manager have any knowledge of such solicitation.

STORM DRAINAGE ADDITIONS
TO BETTERMENT PROJECTS BUDGET
Action: Remanded to Committee.
(Committee not appointed.)
By AB 322 of February 24, 1970, the City Engineer brought before the
City Council a list of the betterment projects, with the drainage
projects presented to the council on January 26, 1970, at which time
they had recommended possibly diverting funds for betterment projects
in the 1969/70 budget to the correction of certain of the storm drain-
age projects. As some of the drainage projects are on private lands
and the City CRnnot spend public money on private lands, it had been
suggested that easements could be negotiated with private property
owners. The City Attorney, however, recommended against this, advising
it might mean acceptance by the city of the entire system.
the Public Services **
Bremer recommended/Ecommittee be appointed to adopt a policy statement
to effectively deal with drainage problems, which would include the
question of whose responsibility it will be to put in the drains and
maintain them thereafter.
Ellinwood stated she had inquired in the county and found that no city
in the county maintains drainage ways between public streets, except
in a flood control zone. She stated after the floods of last January
she sent a report to the City Engineer with a list of questions, and
when these are answered, suggested the committee may use these as a
reference point for establishing a policy.
Rice recommended the City Engineer's report be considered, which would
take into account the specific items facing the city, and would give
justification to a policy. He felt the commiitee should review this
report and come back with specific thoughts on these items. Bremer
objected to this and preferred considering the whole drainage concept
for determining a city policy.
The Chair directed this matter be continued, and remanded it to com-
mittee.

that the City Council notify the Planning Commission of its intent
to amend Section 26C of the Zoning Ordinance to provide that
failure of the Planning Commission to report within 40 days after
the hearing shall be determined as an unfavorable recommendation
of the proposed amendment.

asked that the record reflect it was not the intention of the
Lands and Development Committee that the Planning Commission can-
not send the ordinance back allowing attached buildings if that is
their desire.

AB 326
RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO AMEND
THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW
THE ISSUANCE OF CONDITIONAL USE
PERMITS FOR SERVANTS' QUARTERS
IN THE RO-1 ZONE
Action: Resolution No. 276 giving
notice of intent to amend
adopted.
By Bill No. 326 of March 9, 1970, the Lands and Development
Committee brought before the City Council a resolution of intent
to amend the zoning ordinance so as to allow the issuance of
conditional use permits for a second dwelling in the RO-l zone. Moved
by Drohan, seconded by Bremer, to adopt the resolution.
Drohan recognized the receipt of a letter from Mr. Gordon
Strawbridge dated March 9, 1970, opposing the amendment.
Ellinwood asked whether the variance granted in error by the
Board of Adjustments in December of 1969, which act had insti-
gated the introduction of this amendment, should not have been
appealed. Drohan responded that an amendment to the ordinance
was preferable to an appeal since it would provide for the
problem in general; that construction at 60 Mount Tiburon was
not proceeding to the point of violating the existing ordinance;
that the owner of the property was agreeable to the process now
underway.

Golden Gate Bridge District Ferry Service
Ellinwood urged a resolution that the Golden Gate Bridge, Transporta-
tion and Highway District be asked to purchase its own ferry boat to
assure ferry service in view of the threat of the owners of the
boat chartered from Harbor Carriers, Inc., to discontinue the
charter. The Chair responded that subsequent discussion with the
owners indicated that their position had changed, that the resolu-
tion would, for the moment, be premature.

Minutes #188
Page 1
It was noted by the Chair that, even though the amendment of
Section l5-b-Z adopted by the City Council on 9 March, 1970, was
absent from the draft of the ordinance now before the Council,
it was properly a part of the enactment now pending.
The Chair invited statements from the floor.
Dr. K. F. Ernst spoke in favor of adoption of the ordinance.
Mr. Thomas Bertrand opposed adoption of the ordinance on the
grounds of dubious constitutionality of the measure. Mr. Richard
Starrett opposed the ordinance on the grounds of invasion of
privacy and the in~:;-:'t".sion of government in private matters.
Dr. Hal R. Lever f~vored adoption of the ordinance and the
introduction of machinery for arbitration. Mr. Donald Loomis
expressed regret at the elimination of provisions for exempt-
ing certain trees. Mr. Rampton Harvey supported the ordinance
and its concern with "unreasonable" obstructions. Mrs. Louise
Mirata objected to the ordinance to the extent that it made
the owner of the tree culpable; and that it ignored the rights
of the owner; that it diminished the importance of privacy and
was imprecise ES to sunlight ~nd ~inimum height of trees. Mrs.
Polly Smith proposed that the ordinance be effective for one
year only. M~s. John Kellen opposed the ordinance on the
ground of vagueness and failure of the City Council to give
due weight to the petition introduced as representing substan-
tial public opposition. Mr. Keith Edwards, as Chairman of the
Little Reed Heights Property Owners Agsociation, favored the
ordinance and asserted that tbe public had full knowledge of
its impending adG~tion, citi~g the action of the Board of
Directors of the Little Reed Heights Property Owners Association
on 18 March, endorsing the measure. Mr. Tom Murray opposed
the ordinance, expressing concern that the public was not aware
of the measure and objected that the committee system estab-
lished in the ordinance would supplant the proper jurisdiction
of the courts.
To a question by Drohan, the City Attorney responded that the
ordinance would not be inoperative pending adoption of the
rules of procedure required by Section 15-b-Z. After a pro-
posal by Ellinwood to table the ordinance until further study,
and objections by Rice that the ordinance was not yet in suit-
able form for edoption, Drohan questioned whether the ordinance
could be amended so as to provide for repeal at the end of one
year. The City Attorney responded that there was some doubt
that this could be donc. Drohan then asked that it be spread
on the record that it was the desire of the City Council, in
any case, that the ordinance be reviewed at the end of one
year; that provision be made in the rules of procedure for
exemption of certain trees; on-site inspection proceedings,
and that the ordinance not be in effect until such rules were
adopted. Thereafter, the question being called for on the
motion to adopt the ordinance, the motion carried:

It was moved by Bremer, seconded by Drohan, that the ordinance
be considered as having passed first reading.
Mr. Jacques Nadler, representing the Marin County Realty B~ard,
appeared before the Council and asked if further action could
be delayed until an effort had been made to see if the ordinance
could be uniformly adopted throughout the County of Marin.
Bremer, with consent of the seconder, withdrew the motion to
pass first reading. The Chair continued the matter to the second
meeting in the month of May, asking that copies of the ordinance

After discussion of alternative dates, the Chair directed that
the public hearing required as a prece~ent to adoption of the
General Plan be set for 13 April, 1970, in the Music Room at
Del Mar School.
Mr. Eiler Foss, Chairman of the Tiburon Peninsula Advisory
Committee, objected to any action on the plan by the present
City Council, stating that the Board of Directors of the
committee had resolved that the new City Council would more
appropriately reflect the desires of the citizens in the matter. Mr.
Foss was requested by the Chair to provide members of the City
Council with a copy of the resolution.
SUSPENSION OF THE ORDER OF BUSINESS
REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
POLICE SERVICES, December, 1969
The Chair suspended the regular order of business in order to
entertain questions by Ellinwood respecting the report of the
Department for the month of December, 1969. After a response
by Chief of Police Services Johansen that a decrease in total
mileage reported by the Department for the year was due to a
reduction in the use of patrol cars for non-patrol functions,
and that a decrease in traffic citations was due to improved
signing and a reduction in the total number of available on-
street parking spaces, the report was accepted.

By AB 308 of 23 March, 1970, containing. the recommendations of
the City Manager on alternatives for providing a community
system of rubbish disposal, was introduced by Rice with a recom-
mendation that the first alternative, that of seeking to provide
city-wide compactor truck service for picking up of rubbish, be
accepted. Following discussion of some of the disadvantages of
having trash deposited at curbside for pickup and the relative
merits of assessing costs to the householder or as a part of
the general expenses of the city, it was the sense of the City
Council that the City Manager should enter into negotiations
with the Mill Valley Refuse Service, Inc. for the compactor
truck system, bringing back recommendations for the most ef-
ficient and effective method of operation and the means for
bearing the expense of the service.

the offer of dedication of an extended right-of-way with the
one-foot non-access strip imposed on the end of the extension,
and require the applicant, Mr. Kurt Heath, to improve the

rail be built on the west side of Diviso Street, between
Vistazo West and Centro West, as a safety measure at an esti-
mated cost of $800 to $900. In response to questions, the

THE GENERAL PLAN FOR
DOWNTOWN TIBURON
Motion of endorsement
adopted; resolution of
adoption not aoted on.
Action:
By Agenda Bill No. 293, the Lands and Development Committee
brought before the City Council a resolution to adopt as a
Downtown Plan for the City of Tiburon that certain plan
previously approved by the Planning Commission in their
Resolution No. 77.
The Chair declared the public hearing open.
Drohan read the recommendations of the Planning Director and
then called upon the Planning Director and Mr. Buskirk to
give their presentation.
The Planning Director outlined the history of the plan and
the changes that have been made with respect to increased
park area, land uses, and the expanded planning area.
Mr. Philip Buskirk, consultant to the city for preparation of
the plan, presented to the council the various plans and
drawings which, together with additional textual material,
constituted the proposed downtown plan,
Drohan questioned the Planning Director whether approval of
the plan meant approval of the terminal facility for the buses
and the provision for a boatwork shop. The Planning Director
stated adoption of this plan is merely a statement of goals.
The zoning in the do~mtown area is PD and requires master and
precise plans; however, should a developer produce plans
similar to the ones adopted, it might be hard to reject them.
To a question by Drohan about the economic feasibility of the
harbor, Mr. Buskirk responded from preliminary investigations,
including one with the city engineer, the harbor plan appears
to be economically feasible.
Questions were raised by Ellinwood concerning drainage, parking,
a~d the concept of a second road and its development, the park
area, and the absence of any indication of municipal buildings.
The Chair expressed his objection to a boat repair area.
RECESS
A recess was taken at 9:45 p.m., the council reconvening at
10:00 p.m., the roll standing as originally taken.
The Chair invited statements from the floor.
Mr. Peter Meyers favored the plan except for the traffic circu-
lation. He urged eliminating the automobile from the residen-
tial and business areas and objected to the bus terminal area.

that Main Street should not become a mall. Mr. Bernard Helfand **
Kalps~tR recommended leaving the existing sites as the rail-
road buildings and opposed unrestricted vehicular traffic.
Mr. Vance Wolfe, representing the Northwestern Pacific Rail-
road, requested an opportunity for the railroad to conduct
cash flow studies on the proposed uses, including an opportunity
to determine if the harbor plan would pay for itself. Mr. Allan
Littman, chairman of the Planning Commission, stated the rail-
way has been given innumerable opportunities to conduct an
economic study. Mr. Carlisle Becker urged a plan be adopted
very soon. wicR=liR.a~=pa~ks=io~=th.=cit~zeQ.~ **
Mr. Vernon Hunt, lessee of the Tiburon Lodge, objected to
additional hotel facilities, a street passing the rear of the
Tiburon Lodge, and a failure to relieve congestion at the
ferry boat terminal.
Mr. Hal Hobbs spoke against adding a road onto the TState high-
way, and questioned the drainage plans. Mr.~~~~/~b~~1!son **
questioned whether there was any provision for extending
Esperanza down through Tiburon Boulevard from Mar West. Mr.
Donald Batten inquired about the advantages of a port of call
in connection with this harbor. Mr. Allan.Thompson, a member
of the Planning Commission, spoke in favor of the balanced
type of downtown usage, which encompasses a seven-day usage
rather than a tourism type of use. Mr. Rampton Harvey spoke
in favor of a second road, approving of the fact it would not
be a reality until it is absolutely necessary, and the fact
that there would be no commercial access to the road. Mr. Elmo
DeMartini objected to the height of the proposed lodge. The
Planning Director stated they would be governed by the zoning
ordinance, which has a height limit of 30 feet. Mr. DeMartini
felt the proposed plan will be too demanding on the Planning
Commission and the council, and felt the zoning ordinance
would provide the necessary controls, without putting so much
detail in. Mr. Hank Bruce felt the roads and the parking
places usurped the space that should be left open for the
residents. He urged more open recreational space. Mr. Albert
Sennett, a member of the Planning Commission, urged the council
encourage the railroad commence their feasibility studies and
their own plans immediately. Mrs. Sylvia Ross urged the space
alloted for new roads be put together into open space.
Mr. Joseph Marshall, a member of the Planning Commission, urged
the council not delay in approving or denying of the plan on
the basis of the railroad's economic study. Mr. Eiler Foss
spoke in favor of more open space. Mr. Fred Zelinsky agreed
the railroad should have had their plans before this date, and
requested that the major property owners of downtown Tiburon
not be overlooked. Mr. Gray and Mr. Batten urged the council
adopt the plan and not wai~ f~{ thi*property owners to make
their studies. Mrs. Ma~iRe7Boarne expressed concern over the
bus terminal. Dr. George Sugarman spoke against vehicular
traffic along the waterfront, but urged the council adopt the
plan this evening. Mrs. Phyllis Ellman requested clarification
of the wording of bus terminals, and questioned how many buses
would be involved.
Drohan proposed that the plan have additional hearings held
by the new city council before adoption. Bremer spoke in
agreement.
The Chair urged that a vote on the plan be taken.

It was moved by Drohan, seconded by Bremer, that this council
is satisfied with the general features of this plan and recom-
mend its adoption at the earliest possible moment.
In response to a question by the Chair, the Assistant City
Attorney stated because of the importance of this particular
general plan, if any changes or additions are made, the plan
must be sent back to the Planning Commission for a report and
could be returned to the council on the 27th. However, if the
changes involve zoning, then advertised public hearings must
be held.
Rice questioned the fact that the Planning Director's report
of September 23rd indicated that according to the Wilbur Smith
traffic study report, the existing road was all that was needed
in light of the projected 1990 traffic flow. He wondered why
the conclusion had now been reached that an alternate road
should be considered. Mr. Littman stated further study indi-
cated a second road was warranted. The Planning Director
stated his September 23rd report had indicated Tiburon Boulevard
would take the amount of traffic anticipated, but it would not
be possible to walk across the street safely or comfortably.
In response to a question by Rice about when the road would
go in, Mr. Littman responded it was their intention it be
built when the volume of traffic deems it necessary, but the
developers must set aside the right-of-way.

III. PETITION LO RECOUNT THE VOTE
~ -
. A declaration by Alvin R. Kuhn alleging that because of mistake
:'or error, the votes in consolidated Precincts 1, 2 and 3 for the
:.\.,;.Kunicipal election of April 14:l 1970, were so incorrectly
'~:.' '-counted that the returns do not correctly show which candidate
,:"t'1:'eceived the plurality of the votes cast f9r the office of City
~;councilman having been served upon the City Clerk this date, it
l;.was placed before the City Council pursuant to the Elections
~: Code of the State of California. The Deputy City Attorney
advised the City Council on the statutory process activated by
the filing, and the declaration of Mr. Kuhn was read. The City
Attorney gave it as his opinion that the Declaration satisfied
the requirements of the applicable statute. To a question as to
the responsibility for the costs of recounting the votes in the
election, which filing of the Declaration would require, the
City Manager responded that representatives of the candidate had
deposited the required costs this day.
Mr. Carlisle Becker appeared before the council to question the
adequacy of the Declaration, claiming that it was not given under
oath and was self-defeating. To a question from Rice, the Deputy
City Attorney again stated that the letter substantially meets
the requirements of the Applicable section of the Elections Code,
,thereafter reading Section 22940 of said Code in its entirety.
.:.After a discussion cs to the consensus of accepting the declara-
,:Uion in its present form, at the request of Rice, the Chair
~%ecee~ed the meeting in order ~o give Mr. Kuhn, who wasnot
-present, an opportunity to file an amended declaration.
Upon receipt of an amended declaration by Mr. Kuhn, given under
penalty of perjury, it was read by the Chair and filed with the
City Clerk.
Motion of Rice, seconded by Ellinwood, to adopt Resolution No.
284, a Resolution accepting the Declaration,appointing a special
recounting board of four voters composed of Vivienne Windblad,

Commerce, expressed the Ch~mber's appreciation to the present

The Chair stated the nC\1 councilmen would not be seated as there
is a statutory procedure by which the newly elected councilmen
must file a ctate~~nt of their cempaign expenses the day preceding
the administering of oath of office to the councilmen, and none
of the council-elect had filed such a statement in timely fashion.
The Chair stated the remaining items on the agenda would therefore
be continued until after the new councilmen are sworn in. To a
suggestion by Ellinwood that the new council informally meet and
select a mayor and vice-mayor, the Chair advised this would be a
violation of the B~own Act.

KAPPIE'S RESTAURANT PRECISE PLAN
Carlton Nicholson
Action: ResoZution No. 286,approving
a PD Precise Plan for addi-
tions to 38 Main St. adopted.
By AB 318 of April 27, 1970, the Planning Director brought before
the council an application for Precise Plans for additions to
Kappie's Restaurant, 38 Main Street. The plans consist of adding
250 square feet to the rear of the building and applying new siding
to the existing building. The Planning Director recommended
approval, subject to the conditions listed in the resolution.
It was moved by Fanning, seconded by Sennett, to adopt Resolution
No. 286, adopting the PD Precise Plans.
In response to a recommendation by Ellinwood that the city attach a
condition that the walkway be dedicated as a public walkway ease-
ment to prevent any future encroachment into the walkway, it was
the sense of the council that before any building could be extended
into the walkway it would be necessary to go before the City
Council and the Planning Commission, and also accepting an ease-
ment may involve an economic liability.
In response to a question by Ellinwood about parking, the Planning
Director advised the ten required parking spaces are available in
the adjacent lot.

The Planning Director stated the applicant wished to rezone property
off Marinero Circle, currently zoned RO-2 and R-3, to PD to allow
the clustering of units, keeping the multi-family development away
from abutting the single family zone. The PD zoning conditions
to be attached to the Master Plan would guarantee the preservation
of the north slope of the property, the repair of the scarred
topography, and more stringent design controls.
In response to a question by Fanning, Mr. John Hoffmire, the appli-
cant, stated he would be willing to put the large power line on
the ridge underground.
It was moved by Fanning, seconded by Rice, to consider the ordi-
nance as having passed first reading.
Mr. Leo Bodian presented to the council a pictorial description
of the easement that is recorded which gives them access to their
property through the subject property.
The Chair directed the minutes reflect the general intent in
approving the proposed ordinance is that a change over to PD
would not imply any ecceptance of increased density over that
presently applicable under the present zoning.
The Chair also directed the minutes reflect that the intent is
whatever PD plan is brought in, it not involve a breach of the
ridge line above the area contemplated to be developed.
Fanning requested ~~s original motion be amended to provide that
the precise i..ii and bounds description will be deemed substi-
tuted for the assessor's parcels in sub-paragraph I. and 2. of

Action: Continued to 5/11/70.
The Chair requested this matter be continued to the meeting of

Fanning urged a vote be taken this evening, stating the consensus
of the audience the night of the previous hearing seemed to indi-
cate the plan was acceptable, and Messrs. Drohan and Bremer had
continued it on confidence it was going to be approved.
The Chair opened the hearing on the downtown plan.
Motion of Fanning to approve the General Plan on the Downtown
Tiburon, as submitted by the Planning Commission and approved in
principal by the prior council, and to direct the Planning Com-
mission to address itself to the boatyard question, as to the
necessity of that and the possible elimination of it from the
Downtown Plan, died for lack of a second.
Motion of Ellinwood, seconded by Sennett, to continue the matter
to May 11, carried:
AYES: COUNCILMEN: Becker, Ellinwood, Rice, Sennett
NOES: COUNCILMEN: Fanning
ABSENT: COUNCILMEN: None
The Chair directed the matter to be placed as the number one item
on the agenda of May 11th.
Mrs. Margaret Azevedo expressed alarm about the possibility of
eliminating the boatyard or other changes being made in the parks

NO PARKING AREA FROM
394 TO 401 HILARY DRIVE
Action: Adopted as Resolution No. 287,
with revisions.
By AB 334 of April 27, 1970, the City Engineer brought before the
council a request for a nno parkingP area on the westerly sids
of Hilary Drive between the driveway entrance to 401 Hilary Drive
and 394 Hilary Drive, which both he and the police captain had
agreed was a safety hazard at present. In response to a request
by Mr. K. L. Rice that the end of the red zone be moved 20 feet
from the end of his driveway to give room for one parking place,
the City Engineer recommended that the second paragraph of
Section I. be changed to read: i'The westerly side of Hilary
Drive beginning 20 feet southerly of the driveway entrance to
No. 4019 thence southerly and ending at the driveway entrance to
No. 394.11
Motion of Ellinwood, seconded by Fanning, to adopt Resolution No.

APPOINTMENT OF STANDING
COMMITTEES
Action: Standing Committees appointed.
The Chair stated AB 342 of April 27, 1970, does not include appoint-
ments to the Association of Bay Area Governments and the City-
County Planning Commission, which he wishes to make tonight, along
with the appointments to the three standing committees, with the
understanding modifications may be made as a result of a study
being contemplated in the next month on these committees.
The Chair made the following appointments:
To the Association of Bay Area Governments, Ellinwood as
delegate and Becker as alternate;
To the City-County Planning Commission, Ellinwood as
delegate, Becker as alternate, and another delegate to
be selected from the Planning Commission at the next
meeting;
To the Public Services Committee, Ellinwood, chairman, and
Sennett;
To the Lands and Development Committee, Fanning, chairman,
and Becker.
The Chair requested a general consent of the council for the crea-
tion of a special committee on the question of annexation of areas
outside the city. There being no objection, the special committee
on annexation of areas outside the city was created as a special
ad hoc committee, with the appointment of Fanning and Sennett.
The Chair requested the Lands and Development Committee file a
committee report before May 11th with specific suggestions on the
downtown plan.
The Chair stated he intends to ask the council to consider two
special committees in the future: one, consisting of himself and
Ellinwood, to study the matter of the acquisition of new city
hall facilities.
Fanning suggested the council consider the creation of a standing
committee which would consist of council members plus the chair-
man of the Planning Commission and the chairman of the Parks and
Recreation Commission to discuss long-term policy matters for which
the long agendas have prevented council discussion, and these
could be public hearings. Rice stated consideration of these
committees will be made at the next meeting.
AB 343
APPOINTMENT OF BAY AREA AIR
POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT
BOARD MEMBER
Action: Appointment pending.
AB 343 of April 27, 1970, was introduced by Sennett calling for
the Mayor to consult with the City Council on the pending appoint-
ment to the District Board of the Bay Area Air Pollution Control
District. Ellinwood suggested the candidate recommended by the
Mayor of Corte Madera, Byron D. white, may have conflicting
interests.

AB 344
MILL VALLEY-STRAWBERRY
ANNEXATION PETITION TO
LAFC
Action: Resolution No. 288, opposing
City of Mill Valley's annex-
ation petition, adopted.
By AB 344 of April 27, 1970, Fanning presented to the council a
resolution opposing the annexation application by the City of
Mill Velley of certain portions of the Strawberry area, and call-
ing for a similar application by the City of Tiburon. Fanning
stated the ad hoc committee consisting of himself and Sennett
had prepared a detailed report, to be submitted to the council
in a few days.
It was moved by Fanning, seconded by Rice, to adopt Resolution
No. 288.
In response to a question by Ellinwood, the City Engineer responded
Mill Valley intends to disconnect the annexed area from the
Richardson Bay Sanitation District and connect it to the Mill
Valley District, and '10uld also use their own fire department,
which would cut the tax base supporting the Richardson Bay
Sanitary District andthe Alto-Richardson Bay Fire Department.
In response to a question by Ellinwood about merely opposing the
annexation, the City Engineer responded should Tiburon merely oppose
the Mill Valley annexation, the Local Agency Formation Commission
will be in the position of considering the Mill Valley application
on its merits. Should a competing application be filed, then
before LAFC can consider either in detail they must determine
which of the two annexations is the most logical and then consider
that application on its merits.
Mr. David Teather, chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commis-
sion, suggested the residents in the area in question may be
lvilling to be annexed to clear up confusion of living on the
Tiburon Peninsula and having Mill Valley addresses and phone
numbers.
Mr. John Hoffmire urged the council get as much information as
possible on the feelings of the people in the area on the question
of being annexed to Tiburon.
Mr. Rampton Harvey agreed with Mr. Hoffmire, and stated the final
decision rests with the percentage of assessed evaluation that
wants to come in versus the assessed valuation that wants to
stay out. Fanning stated as soon as the application is filed,
they will prepare a petition and if 50 percent of the landolvners
in the area to be incorporated l1ere not opposed, then the voters
of the City of Tiburon and the unincorporated areas for annexa-
tion have a decision at the polls.

BETTERMENTS PROJECTS,
Revisions, Additions,
Refunding
Action: Approved with revisions.
By AB 322 of April 27, 1970, the Public Services Committee pre-
sented to the council the City EngineerVs schedule of projects
for priority construction involving revisions and improvements
in the surface water drainage systems of the city.
The City Engineer stated M 70-18, drain structure for 1800 Vistazo
West, showed no price on the current agenda bill, but previous
reprints had indicated the cost would be $3,500.
It was moved by Ellinwood, seconded by Rice, to accept the recom-
mendation of the City Manager and the City Engineer that appears
on page 1 of Agenda Bill No. 322, deleting from those recommendations
Project M 70-15, Pine Terrace, for an indefinite time; include
Project M 70-16, the work at Mira Flores at Tiburon Boulevard;
M 70-17, the revision of the curb structure and provision for an
erosion or trash rack in front of 1828 Lagoon View; the inclusion
of Project M 70-18, the revision of the drain structure in front
of 1800 Vistazo Hest, at the estimated cost of $3500; and Project
14 70-19, construction of the,~ros.\.o1.1 rack and some other erosion
control near the box ~:t:F/fdl:a"teerct at* Trestle Glen Boulevard at
Juno, being the total of $9,000 allocation from gas tax funds for

East and Centro f~st. by construction of a retaining wall. **
Mr. George Ellman of the Parks and Recreation Commission
requested consideration be given to some type of pedestrian
right-of-way. The City Engineer suggested it may be possible
to stripe a pedestrian line in conjunction with the wall.
Ellinwood moved, seconded by Becker, to increase the project
amount, with a $6700 limit, and present it out to bid on the
basis of having exposed aggregate or some suitable finish, to
return to the council with the bids, with some brief explanation
of whether striping can be included.
The Chair suggested the City Engineer do alternate bids, one being
for exposed aggregate.

ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA
At the request of the Chair, Mr. F. G. Knight of the Parks and
Recreation Commission presented to the council a proposal from the
Parks and Recreation Commission for a spring festival to be held on
May 9th at the Richardson Bay Park. The name for the festival was
Pig Island Day as the celebration will be held on a knoll in the
park which in the past had been referred to as Pig Island.
Ellinwood suggested the date be changed to May 16th to give more
time to prepare and put the celebration together.
The Chair stated, based on the comments) it seemed to be the con-
sensus of opinion that the council endorses the concept as itls
been presented, but suggests that it be held a week later and that
the name be re-examined. The money, in the amount of $50 to $75,
will be made available from the Special Events fund.

Breakfast Meetings with Chamber of Commerce
The Chair presented a letter from Dr. George Sugarman, president of
the Chamber of Commerce, to the Mayors and Councilmen of Belvedere
and Tiburon inviting them to a no-host breakfast scheduled for
May 2, with the thought of having a breakfast meeting the first
Saturday of every month at 9:00 a.mo
It was the sense of the council this could be done on an informal
basis, with two councilmen attending, and the Assistant City
Manager was directed to write a letter to this effect, conveying
the thought the council endorsed the breakfast idea but recom-
mended holding it on a less frequent basis.
As far as the council joining the chamber, it was the sense of the
council this would not be appropriate as there may be times when
there are conflicting interests.
Planning Commission Vacancy
In regard to Fanning's question about the vacancy on the Planning
Commission, the Chair advised he was calling an Executive
Session for this purpose at the close of the meeting tonight.
Ellinwood suggested the council invite applications and called for
press coverage of the vacancy in order to encourage new individuals
who may have recently become interested in city government.
Special Meeting
Sennett questioned the possibility of setting an agendaless
meeting within the next four to five weeks for the specific
purpose of exchanging views amongst the council members and with
the public on the matters of procedural changes and the method of
operation of the council and substantive changes or directions
for the community at large. Fanning suggested it be held as a
structured committee of the council, Parks and Recreation Commis-
sion and the Planning Commission, with the thought it be done on
a continuing basis on a regularly scheduled date. Sennett sug-
gested it might be well to agree to exchange ideas in writing
in advance. The Chair stated as there are scheduling problems, he
would poll the members for a date in the near future.
Biennial Mayors and Councilmen Institute Symposium
Ellinwood urged the council members attend the Mayors and Council-
men's Institute given by the League of California Cities, to be
held May 20 to 21 in the Los Angeles Hilton.

BCnC Vote on Richardson Bay Plan
In response to a question by Ellinwood as to the position Mr.
Fanning is planning to take on May 7th on the Bay Conservation
and Development Commission vote on the Richardson Bay Plan,
Fanning responded the editorial of the Independent Journal did not
give an accurate picture of the report of the BCDC, and he is
certain the vote is going to be unanimously against the plan.
CATV Cable TV
Ellinwood stated the County Administrator informed her there is
pending legislation to limit the amount a city can collect from
a franchise to five percent regardless of the amount of the gross.
She has requested a copy of the bill and will request it be
placed on the next agenda so the City of Tiburon can take a
formal position on it.

THE GENERAL PLAN

SUSPENSION OF THE ORDER OF BUSINESS
By AB 293 of May 11, 1970, the Planning Director brought before
the council the Demonstration Plan for Downtown Tiburon, considera-
tion of which had been continued from April 27th. The Planning
Director reviewed the principal characteristics and expected results
of the plan.

The chairman of the Planning Commission, Mr. Allan Littman, and
Commissioner Peter Macgowan urged the council to act affirma-
tively at once, as did Mr. David Teather, chairman of the Parks
and Recreation Commission, Dr. George Sugarman, president of
the Tiburon Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Donald Batten,
Mr. John Hoffmire and Mr. Rampton Harvey. Mr. Pieter Myers of
Belvedere spoke in opposition to the plan, protesting that it
favored vehicular traffic at the expense of other amenities.
Fanning, as chairman of the Lands and Development Committee, intro-
duced Resolution No. 289 adopting the Downtown Plan and read it
in its entirety, thereafter moving its adoption, which motion was
seconded by Becker.
Becker then proposed to introduce on behalf of the committee a
further resolution which would cause review of seven specified
aspects of the plan once it was adopted:
1. There should be a review of the open space versus
land use intensities and that the Parks and Recrea-
tion Commission should be included in the planning
agency to oversee the implementation and execution
of this plan.
2. That the council should expedite the commencement
and completion of the transportation element of
the general plan for the City of Tiburon.
3. There should be rendered to the City Council a
semi-annual report on the status of the plan and
the progress in its application.
4. That the council create an ad hoc committee
consisting of councilmen, representatives from
the Chamber of Commerce and other groups with
interest in the Downtown Plan to formulate
specific criteria and programs and seek out
prospective developers and tenants for the
downtown.
5. Study the building mass envelope toward the
adoption of a view shed plan.
6. Consider the City Hall site and program for
inclusion in the downtown, possibly in the town
square.
7. That the boat service repair facilities and
boat yards be carefully studied, with a view
toward evaluating the developers' plans.
Returning to debate of Resolution No. 289, under unanimous consent
the fourth paragraph thereof was amended to read:
llThis council finds that the text as proposed and
approved by the Planning Commission best satisfies
the overall goals of various segments of the com-
munity at large and that the demonstration plan
illustrates a method of achieving these goals and
provides a strong basis for continuing study and
action in satisfying the interests of the general
welfare and well-being of the community.;]

Resolution No. 289, the roll was called and the motion carried:

It was moved by Fanning, seconded by Becker, to embody in
Resolution No. 290 the seven aspects of the Downtown Demonstra-
tion Plan proposed by the Lands and Development Committee for
review.
Commissioner Macgowan arose to propose that the fourth point,
calling for th~ creation of criteria and development commit-
tees, was not applicable to the Planning Commission; whereas all
other points were applicable to the Commission or its functions.
Fanning, on behalf of the committee, recognizing the propriety of
the objection, ordered that Item 3 be returned to staff.
After further decn~e on questions by Ellinwood about drainage, open

a flat rate of $1 per month for each additional TV or FM outlet
without installation charge.
Action: Dr-aft of or-dinance to amend
fees or-der-ed.
Mr. Joseph Sheeks, attorney for the petitioner, appeared before
the council to speak on behalf of 'the proposed changes, stating
further that those subscribers already connected to the system who
had paid $10 installation charges for additional outlets would, in
effect, be given free service until the value of their $10 instal-
lation charge had been exhausted.
Moved by Rice, seconded by Fanning, to direct staff to draw up an
ordinance which would amend the franchise in the two respects that
have been discussed here, relating to the billing, amending the
rate structure accordingly, and that the staff should come in
sometime within the next month or six weeks with a brief evaluation
of just why they think this cable TV company is going to make it
here or whether the city has to look into the whole franchise
question.
The Chair also directed that the staff examine into the matter of
the channel service being presently provided as compared to the
channel service required in the franchise, thereafter reporting
its recommendations back to the City Council.
The question was called on the motion, and the motion carried:

It was moved by Ellinwood, seconded by Sennett, that the paving
cost of $600 be restored to the project, raising the total cost
to $4,000; that the project be authorized for construction and

QUESTIONS
Resolution No. 291~ Commendation

Ellinwood questioned whether it would not be more appropriate to
place the names of the election officials commended by that reso-
lution in alphabet~cal order, and it was so ordered.
!1eeting l-lithout Agenda
To a question from Sennett as to when the City Council might convene
for free discussion of practices and policies, it was proposed by
the Chair that the meeting be set for the 2nd of June, and, at
the further request of Sennett, that ideas and subjects for dis-
cussion be submitted in writing in advance.
Hest Peni.nsula Annexation
In response to a question from the Chair, the City Manager displayed
the proposed boundary map for the West Peninsula annexation petition
authorized by Resolution No. 288, the map generally describing the
perimeter of an area including Strawberry, Bel Aire, Alto and lands
of Deffebach and others, to the Corte Madera town limits. It was
further noted by Fanning, chairman of the ~d hoc committee on annexa-
tion, that the boundaries were subject to revision before the
anticipated h2aring on the petition before the Local Agency Forma-
tion Commission on the 11th of June, and would be amended prior to
that time so as to constitute either several separate but simul-
taneous annexations or reduced boundaries.
Ballot Proposition JJA~~
To a question by Ellinwood as to whether the City Council would
support County Ballot Proposition A in re low and moderate income
housing, it was the unanimous vote of the council, on motion of
Ellinwood, seconded by Becker, that the proposition be endorsed.
To the further question of Ellinwood as to whether the council
would consent to the appointment of Mrs. Jacqueline Parnell as
representative of the city to the committee coordinating the efforts
of proponents of the mayor, it was the unanimous opinion of the
council that the appointment should be made, and there being no
objection, the Chair so ordered.
Joint Drainage Study Committee
Ellinwood questioned if the council would provide some funds to
support staff operations of the joint committee from the cities of
Belvedere and Tiburon and the Tiburon Peninsula Club seeking a
resolution of drainage problems in the downto~m basin. The Chair
May 11, 1970
r1INUTES 11194

ordered that the question be put on a future agenda, and Fanning
asked that minutes of past meetings of the joint committee be
provided to members of the City Council. Becker. formerly a dele-
gate to the committee from the Tiburon Peninsula Club. asked that
he now be appointed as a delegate from the city, following which
he would relinquish his former membership, and the Chair so
directed.
IX. EXECUTIVE SESSION
The Chair ordered a recess so that the council might convene in
executive session to consider appointments to Commissions, and it
was done. At the conclusion of the session, the executive session
was adjourned and the Council reconvened in open meeting.
x. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the City Council,
and Councilman Fanning having advised the City Council of the sad
death of Mr. Gordon Russell, first treasurer of the City of
Tiburon, in Switzerland, in February of this year, the Chair
ordered the meeting adjourned at the hour of 1:30 a.m., on
Tuesday, the 12th day of May, 1970, in memory of the late
Mr. Russell, to the 19th day of May, 1970.

THE QUESTION OF CAMBODIA
The Chair suspended the regular order of business to receive a letter
from Mrs. Nancy W. Sletteland, 1673 Mar West, requesting that the
City Council consider and indicate the proper and most effective
channel through which persons can make known their response to
President Nixon's action in Cambodia.
The Chair, recognizing that there might be differing views on
the council as to the propriety of a city governing body intruding
into the realm of international affairs, gave it as his opinion
that the type of subject raised by the letter was not an appro-
priate matter for the city council, but proposed that if the
council felt otherwise, the subject should be discussed at a
later meeting. Councilman Fanning observed it had been the
standing policy of past city councils not to involve that body
in other than municipal issues.
Mrs. Sletteland thereupon appeared before the council to speak
in support of her letter. In addition, Mr. Hans Roenau, Mr.
John Sheffler, Mrs. Pam Pickett and Mr. Rampton Harvey also
spoke to urge the council to consider the matter. Mr. John
Hoffmire urged the city council to get on with the business of
the city.
Councilm~n Becker, Sennett and Ellinwood spoke in favor of a
hearing on the matter. The Chair thereupon proposed that a town
hall or open forum meeting to hear the public on the question
be set for the 19th of May at 8:00 p.m., and it was so ordered.

MILITARY INVOLVEMENT IN CAMBODIA
The Chair advised that the regular meeting of the 11th of May 1970
had been adjourned to this time and place so that the council might
consider requests heard at the regular meeting that the City indi-
cate to people how they might properly express their sentiment in
regard to the United States v involvement in Indo-China; or, in the
alternative, that the City Council adopt a resolution in opposition
to the military involvement of the United States in Indo-China.
Students from Redwood High School were permitted by the Mayor to
begin the public statements for the evening. Mr. Phil Brockman
spoke in opposition to United States' intervention in Vietnam.
Mr. James Holmes supported the program of President Nixon for
orderly withdrawal. Thereafter, the Chair invited further expres-
sion from members of the audience present.
Mrs. Margaret Azevedo expressed opposition to American actions in
Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos and called for imnlediate withdrawal of
troops. Mr. Peter Banning urged the council pass a resolution on
this matter. Mr. Donald L. Batten questioned whether it was
appropriate for the City Council to act on behalf of the citizens
of th~ city in matters of foreign affairs. Mr. Timothy Bowles,
Mr. Visscher Boyd, Mro Clarence Bullard and Mr. John Clarke spoke
in turn, urging the council to express in various ways public oppo-
sition to the war and the urgency of withdbawal from Vietnam.
Mr. Doug Dransfield expressed concern for the vitality of the
country should it lose support of the majority of the youth and
voters, and urged careful consideration of both sides of an issue
prior to arrival at a decision. Mr. Richard Jackson spoke in
support of Senate Bill 1460 prohibiting the entry of any California
citizen in an undeclared war. Mr. Keith Edwards, while deploring
the war, supported the president's method of withdrawal.
Dr. George Ellman urged the council to approve a resolution opposing
the war on the grounds that the national importance of the issue
justified such action. Mr. Kirk Pessner questioned the constitu-
tionality of an undeclared war. Dr. Frank Evans urged an act of
peace. Mrs. Jacqueline Parnell spoke in support of a resolution
that the war be ended, as did Miss Cindy Osborn.
Mrs. Carolyn Fanning urged that the President be supported in his
programs for withdrawal and suggested that regard for this should
attend consideration of any resolution.
Dr. Dunlop Smith, Mr. Thomas Ferguson and Mr. Gary Smith suggested
that the issue must be considered at the local level, and all
opposed further involvement in the Vietnam war.

RECESS
A recess was taken at 9:30 p.m., the council reconvening at 9:40
p.m., the roll standing as originally taken.
Mr. Rampton Harvey urged adoption of a resolution supporting
Resolution No. 1723. Mr. Richard Stoltze, Mr. Peter Scott and
Miss Doris Held then appeared, urging the council to adopt a resolu-
tion to end the war and opposing the commitment of United States'
troops to undeclared hostilities.
Mr. J. M. Fox supported the position of the President in his program
of planned withdrawal.
Dr. George Sugarman spoke of the war as disastrous. Mr. Rick
Holmes and Mr. David Vaughan urged people to join in a strike on
the 26th of May to show the President and the country that they
supported peace.
Mrs. Jan l'lliitescarver rose to question the jurisdiction of the
City Council in international matters and urged that they take no
stand.
Mrs. Maria Vaughan urged complete and orderly withdrawal. Mrs.
Charlotte Marshall urged support of the McGovern-Hatfield amendment
to cut off funds. Mr. John S. Thornton spoke for immediate and
complete withdrawal. Miss Mary Myers urged the council to recognize
the interest and energy concentrated in the meeting and to be
guided by the popular wish for a resolution in opposition to con-
tinued involvement in the Vietnam war. Mr. Peter Macgowan, noting
the feelings expressed earlier about the destructivity of the war,
urged the council to take appropriate action.
Mr. Philip J. Russell, Barbara Meis1in and Mr. Pat Vaughan spoke in
opposition to the war, favored adoption of a resolution expressing
such opposition and in further support of the McGovern-Hatfield
amendment. Mr. Bill Von Lackum, Mrs. Adina Robinson and Mr. Hans
Roenau urged the council to adopt a resolution requesting the
President to withdraw troops from Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos.
The Chair at this time introduced a resume of letters in opposition
to the war received from Mr. Gordon P. Robinson, Mr. George
Berticovich, Mr. Gordon Strawbridge, Mrs. Nancy Slette1and and
Patricia Harvey; Mr. Henry Whitescarver requested the, council
not co~sider a re~olution on a matter otitside the sphere of city
responSibility.
Ellinwood moved that the council adopt a resolution taking a posi-
tion reflecting the opinions expressed tonight, as well as their
own opinions as individuals. Motion died for lack of a second.
It was moved by Sennett, seconded by Becker, a formal resolution
forwarding a record of this meeting to the elected representatives
in the Legislatures of California, the Congress of the United States
and the President of the United States and reflecting the concerns
of this community in the continuing large-scale military involve-
ment in Southeast Asia be drafted by a committee of this council and
presented to the council at large at its next regular meeting.
With the consent of Sennett, Becker, proposed the motion include
that the resolution not only be directed against the situation in
Southeast Asia, but be directed to the question of making available
to students, especially college and university students, formal
means where they can participate intensively in the electoral process.
Mr. Doug Dransfield questioned whether the council is qualified to
act for the residents of Tiburon when only 200 out of the 6,090
residents were present. The Chair ruled the question out of order
as it doesn't relate to the pending motion.

The Chair appointed a committee of himself and Councilman Becker to
draft the resolution, to be presented at the May 25th meeting.
Mr. Murray Fox expressed the belief that the council, by passing a
resolution, would be acting as individual members and not as a
representation of the citizens of Tiburon. Mr. Brian Gaddy requested
each member of the council present their views on the issue.
In response to a question by the Mayor as to whether or not the
council can legally take a position on the Vietnam topic, the
Deputy City Attorney responded it is legal and appropriate for the
council to take such an action, and cited Farley vs. Healer
wherein the California Supreme Court upheld the legality 0 city
councils to take a stand on national policy.
At the invitation of the Chair, Councilmen Ellinwood, Sennett and
Becker spoke generally in support of a resolution to be drawn so as
to constitute an expression opposed to U.S. involvement in
Southeast Asia. The Chair stated that while he, personally, favored
such a position, he wasn't so certain that the council possessed the
right to speak for all citizens of Tiburon in the matters of
foreign affairs. Mr. Visscher Boyd, Mr. Al Barsamonte, Mrs. Iris
Suhl further engaged the council to proceed with the adoption of a
resolution. Mr. Keith Edwards suggested that the issue be put to
a vote of the people of the town, and Miss Christian Clements
proposed that the council go only so far as to advise the proper
offices of the National Government that a large number of residents
had met and expressed opposition to the war.
Though urged by various members of the audience to take immediate
action, the council declined on the basis that it would be impossible
to prepare a rational and precise resolution at this time without
careful reflection.

PD MASTER PLAN: HILARITA SITE
Ecumenical Assln for Housing,
Marin County Housing Authority
By AB 354 of May 25, 1970~ the Planning Director brought before the
council the PD Master Plan for the Hilarita site as proposed by the
Ecumenical Association for Housing. The Planning Director detailed
the plans, which the Planning Com~ission approved on April 6, 1970.
He presented n petition from 48 residents and letters from citizens
who opposed the density.
Action: Matter continued to
r -- May 283 1970.
The Chair declared the public hearing open.
Mr. Ned Weed, co-chairman of the Ecumenical Association for Housing,
gave the history of the involvement of the Ecumenical Association.
He read a letter from Mrs. Ozelle Gibson, a Hi1arita resident,
addressed to the City Council, asking that 112 units of moderate
income housing be built.
Mr. Benton Bostick spoke on the matter of zoning and the projected
plans for Tiburon, and asked that the density requested for the
Hilarita site should not be refused on the basis of these plans.
Referring to opposition to the p~oject, Mr. Bostick stated no private
developer had to prove economic justification.

Mrs. BaBs Cooper, a IIilarita resident, expressed her delight in being
able to live in Hilarita and asked that the council approve the pro-
posed application.
Mr. Ellis Kaplan of Kaplan nnd McLaughlin, architects for the
Ecumenical Association for Housing, presented their plans for the
area. Mr. E. Morton Schaffran, housing consultant for the Associa-
tion, presented the economic feasibility study figures and furnished
figures comparing costs for constructing 50, 75, 100 and 112 units,
which reflected the economic necessity for 112 units. Mr. Philip
Ehrlich of the Marin Housing Authority gave the history of how the
Housing Authority determined the fair market value of the Hilarita
land, explaining the land had been appraised in 1968 at $17,000 per
acre, and they are selling it to the Housing Association for approxi-
mately $7,000 an acre, which represents the subsidy the Public
Housing Authority is giving to the Ecumenical Association.
Mrs. Margaret Azevedo, speaking for the Citizens Committee for
Hilarita, asked that the economic justifications not be considered,
but that the council approve the application as a high priority commu-
nity goal.

Mr. Herbert Wenig stated many people in Rolling Hills bought their

be replaced by single family dwellings. He supported moderate or

one area.
RECESS
A recess was taken at 9:50 p.m., the council reconvening at 10:00
p.m., the roll standing as originally taken.
The Chair proposed sending the facts being presented this evening
to the Lands and Development Committee for study.
Mrs. Barbara Macgowan, a neighbor of Hilarita, supported the pro-
posed development. Mr. Visscher Boyd, an architect and a specialist
in building costs, urged the project be approved in order that build-
ing could begin while the cost index for building was down. Mr.
Robert Hayes recommenced interspersing the 536 people planned for
Hilarita throughout the community instead of putting them in one
area. Mrs. Gloria Cook objected to Tiburon's being a white, upper-
class ghetto and urged approval of the plan.
Mr. Allan Littman spoke against the density proposed for the area.
He objected to the Housing Association's statement that the
economics should not be considered, and felt the figures submitted
do not justify 112 units on the site. He felt the area proposed to
be dedicated to the city for park land was impractical because of
its topography.
Mr. Clarence Bullard spoke in favor of the application, and stated
the proposed park area was useable. Mrs. Eleanor Martini, represent-
ing the League of Women Voters of Southern Marin, urged the appli-
cation be approved. Mr. Douglas Ferguson, president of the Marin
Ecumenical Association for Housing, advised the plan in 1968 for 50
units was not feasible either at that time or at present. Mrs.
Jacqueline Parnell stated low density does not bring high quality.
She stated local people who care about the area wi!l beswo~~iog on **
the plan, and urged the council adopt it. Mrs. Gw~~~B.Riijiiar;ra
resident of Rolling Hills, stated she had signed the petition oppos-
ing the proposal, but on the basis of the information she had heard
tonight, she was withdrawing her opposition to the density and now
supported the application. Mr. Richard Park urged the council pass
first reading of the ordinance.
The Chair elicited unanimous consent from the council to read the
ordinance by title only, and dispensed with fUrther reading.
It was moved by Ellinwood, seconded by Rice, that the ordinance be
considered as having passed first reading, subject to any modifica-
tions in the ordinance.
Ellinwood proposed further amendments to the ordinance but no
motion was forthcoming.
Sennett and Becker supported the Chair's recommendation another
meeting be set on the matter for further discussion to give the
public a full opportunity to examine the figures presented.
Ellinwood withdrew her motion to pass first reading, and the Chair
withdrew his second.
The Chair continued the matter to Thursday, May 28th, at 8:00 p.m.,
in the City Council Chambers, for a special work session of the
City Council sitting as a committee of the whole.

The Chair declared the public hearing open.
The Planning Director stated the council had sent this ordinance back
to the Planning Commission for further review, particularly in regard
to attached units, and the Planning Director explained the changes
made.
In response to a question by Sennett about the legalities of putting
conditions on rezoning, the City Attorney responded the condition
referred to by the Planning Director, of requiring the developer to
present a master plan at the time he applies for rezoning, would
be legal. Sennett suggested consideration be given to the requirement
any person applying for rezoning must first have master plan approval.
He further suggested consideration be given to eliminating rezoning
that may never come to pass. The City Attorney suggested this ordi-
nance be reviewed to tie it in better with the PD, especially in
regard to the master plan.
The Chair directed the matter referred to the City Attorney and the
Planning Director.

III. COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
The Chair recessed the City Council thereafter to stand convened as
a Committee of the Whole.
Sennett gave the following suggestions for consideration in the matter
of administrative procedures:
1.
As a procedure of policy, when a resolution is directed
to the City Council from either the Parks and Recreation
Commission or the Planning Commission, a commissioner from
the respective commission will be assigned to sit with
the standing committee considering the matter. The decision
on the matter will be made by the council and the commis-
sioner will not have a legal vote.
To invite and encourage broader participation by all com-
missions, all suspension calendars 9f the Planning Com-
mission, Parks and Recreation Commission and the City
Council be regularly published and circulated, and any
item of interest to either the Planning Commission or
Parks and Recreation Commission be assigned for a joint
study.
The Chair asked the record to show the presence of all the council at
this point, and with the general consent of the council, they now
stood convened as a committee of the whole.
;.
....~
2.
It was the sense of the councilmen that instead of publishing a sus-
pension calendar, an agenda bills status board be set up in the
council chambers and kept up to date for examination by all councilmen
and commissioners.
Continuing, Sennett suggested:
3. The Planning Director undertake a city-wide survey of all
lands presently unsubdivided, with a view to determining
which of these properties would best be suited for planned
or clustered development, open space, etc., using the
advice of citizens groups composed of architects,
engineers, planners and realtors, as well as the owners of
the property involved. The results should be returned to
the City Council for possible rezoning action in certain
areas.
Hinutes 11197

Becker offered as a primary concern (1) the effectiveness of local
government in the role of the council as a decision-making body at
a policy level; (2) the role of the staff in terms of execution of
that policy; and (3) consideration of the aspects and proposals con-
cerning information getting fed back and disseminated by committees,
commissions and staff. He listed the following points for considera-
tion:
Whether or not the existing system of council standing
committees is in the best public interest. He felt each
member of the council should give equal attention to each
facet of decision-making and government, with the committee
being made to work within guidelines he is suggesting. He
felt the council has become involved in staff and adminis-
trative matters, and recommended separation between council
and staff. He recommended breakfast meetings with the staff
to go over problems, and suggested the public be invited.
If committees met in open session, with the public invited, Becker
indicated he would withdraw his objection to committees.
Rice spoke for committees, suggesting the draft data be given to the
council, the presentation made, and then the matter referred to com-
mittee.
Ellinwood suggested the first 15 minutes of every meeting be set
aside for communications from the public; that the council meet the
first, second and fourth Mondays, with the fourth being a town-hall
type meeting.
After further discussion, Sennett suggested the council be given the
opportunity to discuss an item and the decision be made by the
council whether it can act affirmatively. If it cannot, then the
matter should be referred either to the staff or, if it is a political
matter, to a standing or an ad hoc committee. The committee should
be encouraged to meet in a public place; and if the matter has come
from any commission, a commissioner should be present. Rice agreed
with Sennett, but suggested the councilmen who form the committee
decide whether or not the individual matter should be open to the
public.
To a question by the City Manager about continuing the current prac-
tice of sending matters from the Commissions directly to the council
without staff comment, Rice responded this should be continued, but
it should be noted what the commission did and what commissioner will
be the liaison man.
Mrs. Polly Smith suggested more information be included when the Parks
and Recreation Commission sends a matter to council so they could act
on it from the original presentation.
Becker made the following suggestions:
1. Breakfast meetings be held on a monthly or semi-monthly
basis, attended by council and staff, and further inviting
the Belvedere City Council and the Chamber of Commerce.
2. An ad hoc committee composed of representatives from the
Planning Commission, the Parks and Recreation Commission and
the public, meet to discuss ways to preserve the open space
concept, and report back to the council.
3. Special investigation by an ad hoc committee of planning for
youth.
Minutes 11197
June 3, 1970
Page 2
4. Town meetings at which local issues would be discussed
and expressions of policy-making, to be held on a
quarterly basis at three appropriate locations through-
out the community.
5. Joint meetings with staff and commissions on a regular
basis.
6. The council should submit quarterly reports for publish-
ing for the public that should contain a short discus-
sion of relative progress made over the last quarter
and emerging issues for the next quarter, and also
should contain voting and attendance records.
7. Bulletin boards should be placed in pertinent places
throughout the community for posting notices of hearings
and meetings.
In regard to the open space proposal, Rice directed Councilmen
Becker and Sennett meet with the Planning Director for the purpose of
preparing a proposal of what kind of committee would be best.
Fanning suggested the new committee consist of a committee as a whole
of the council, the chairman of the Planning Commission and the
chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, and that the
chairmanship of this meeting rotate on a meeting-to-meeting basis.
The public would be invited to this meeting, which could be held on
a quarterly basis.
Fanning recommended a group of citizens be asked to serve as an
advisory council on special matters. This would be a way of getting
greater public participation and also would bring expert advice to
the council on different matters. Sennett recommended this group be
organized in response to a specific problem, and asked that the
public be notified they were interested in re-evaluating the use of
open land in this community and need expert help, and suggested
the Planning Director be in charge of the committee.
The Chair appointed an ad hoc committee consisting of Councilmen
Becker and Sennett to work with the staff so that appropriate
resolutions can be prepared, to be presented at the next special
meeting, proposed for July 3rd.
Ellinwood offered the following suggestions:
1. An in-depth assessment be made of all aspects of city
government, with a view to re-establishing community
enthusiasm and involvement.
2. The role of the three bodies be defined in relationship
to staff, to the public, and to each other.
3. An examination be made of administrative procedures by
someone totally uninvolved, which would include staff
evaluation, the inter-relationship of the staff, and
the development of esprit de corps.
4. A delineation of the functions of the City Council.
S. An annual town congress completely removed from the
city government be held, strictly city generated,
managed and operated, and that these congresses would
point up the objectives of the community and present
them to the council.
6. The register of claims should list the purpose of each
warrant and this should be available the night they are
approved.

7. Ellinwood referred to suggestions made in her memo
relative to the role of the Chair, city policy in
regard to conflict of interest of all commissions,
city policy relative to the acceptance of gifts.
8. Priorities be established in light of an over-all
five-year plan of objectives.
9. An entire meeting be devoted to the discussion of
police services in the city.
10. The Board of Adjustments and Design Review Board be
restructured.
11. The council meet three times a month.
12. The City Engineer's role relative to the council be
reviewed.
13. Hearings on budgets in the future follow departmental
presentations other cities use; namely, discussing one
budget an evening for the policy, the Parks and Recrea-
tion, etc., and that these meetings be public.
14. The City Attorney be contacted at an earlier time rather
than at a public meeting.
15. A youth commission be established.
16. Appointments to commissions should be publicly noticed
and interested persons interviewed.
17. The Parks and Recreation Commission be created by
ordinance.
The Chair stated they will convene as a committee of the whole on
July 3rd to hear recommendations made by the ad hoc committee and
consider any resolutions they may present.
Mr. Pieter Myers invited the council's attention to TPAC's Earth
Night and the fact that the City of Belvedere had appointed a committee
to consider the matter of ecology. The Chair stated the City Manager
had written a memo on this subject, and suggested a committee of
interested citizens, plus councilmen from both cities, might be formed
on this matter.

By AB 354 of June 0, 1970, ~n ordinance entitled AN ORDIl~NCE OF THE
CITY OF TIBURON ADOPTING A M\STER PLAN FOR PROPERTY COMMONLY KNO~m
AS HlLARITA, having been continued from May 25th for a special work
session of the City Council held on May 25th, came on again for
first reading.
The Chair declared this a continued public hearing.
The Chair stated f04 th8 record since the time of the last meeting
letters have been received from Councilman Drohan expressing concern
over the increased den1ity,..~nJ from the Tiburon Ridge Association
with a resolution re-endorBing t~~ general plan and urging the
council to continue wo~kinG ~~ith the Housing Authority to secure
development of the Hilarita area for moderate income housing. The
Chair also read a letter from Mr. Philip Ehrlich, chairman of the
Housing Authority, dated June 5, 1970, relating to the Hilarita
project and the proposed m~ster plan, with a provision for a possible
reduction in the sale price of the land to the Tiburon Ecumenical
Association.
In response to a question by the Chair, the Planning Director
responded the ordinance had been redrafted as suggested by the City
Attorney's office, to cite the findings that are required in the PD
ordinance, and also to eliminate the condition of tying the project
to the Ecumenical Association.
After reading of the title of the ordinance, the Chair ordered
further reading suspended by uncnimous consent.
It was moved by Ellinwood, s~conded by Sennett, to consider the
ordinance as having passed first reading.
It 'tlJas moved by Sr;1"'--,':....'.::: ,~0;;'~
of the ordinance as foll~ws:

. ,
"(d) Dsvelopment on the 4.8 acre parcel shall not be
commenced until conctruction has begun on the property
devoted to moderate income units. A maximum of 9
clustered single fam~ residences shall be allowed on
the 4.8 acre-parcel -and these shall be located on the
lower half of said parcel and their design shall be
similar in character, scale and materials to the moderate
income housing.
Mr. Allan Littman suggested the zoning for the two acres be left at
half-acre zoning; and if the Housing Authority would sell the land
for $36,000, they should make a written offer to the council which
the council could ~ccept or assign to a propertyowners' association.
The association could then, if it purchased the property, dedicate
it to the city for a park, uhich would help keep the density of the
entire area b~low what it would be if 12 units are added to the 112
units.
In answer to the Chair's question of how they could assure this land
would not be developed, the Assistant City Attorney responded this
could be effected by a lot split application.

more flexibility to negotiete a sale of the 4.8 acres to the city.

Action:
By AB 357 of June 3, 1970, the Planning Director brought before the
council a resolution recommending adoption of a PD Precise Plan for
88 Main Street. The Planning Director recommended approval, subject
to conditions regarding parking, landscaping, and height variances,
as drafted in the proposed resolution.
Sennett brought up the possibility of relocating the entrance to the
parking lot and asked this be considered in the next phase.
Mr. Peter Macgm1an, representing the applicant, spoke for the plans
and the desirability of promoting a professional administrative
industry in Tiburon such as Lester Gorslin~ Associates.
It was moved by Ellin~vood, seconded by Sennett, to adopt Resoludbn
No. 296, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TIBURON
ADOPTING A PD (PLANNED DEVELOp~mNT DISTRICT) PRECISE PLAN FOR AN
OFFICE BUILDING AT 88 MAIN STREET, with Condition 2 changed to
read: :'The parking lot details and layout as shown on Exhibit A,
Site Plan dated Ap~:il 30, 1970, shall be completed prior to occupancy.
It was moved by Sennett, seconded by Fanning, to incorporate the
recommendation of the City Attorney that the approval of this
particular resolution be subject to the obtaining of a variance,
with Condition No.5 reading as follows: "The tower is deemed an
architectural feature and subject to the obtaining of a variance,
is so accepted at the height shown on the drawings."'
The Assistant City Attorney suggested the Board of Design Review may
not be able to mal~e the necessary findings for granting a variance.
The Chair recommended continuing this matter to get more definitive
opinion from the City Attorney as to the best procedure in this and
future cases.
It was moved by Becker, seconded by Sennett, to amend the amendment
of Sennett to substitute the vlords "unique feature;: for ~larchitectural
feature" in condition 5.
There being no objection, the Chair ruled Becker's motion to amend
the amendment is carried.

QUESTIONS
Amending the By-Lal1s of the Mayors and Councilmen
Ellinwood questioned whether the council would approve of the City
l1anager's drafting a proposal to be presented at the June 24th meet-
ing of the Mayors and Councilmen recommending an ad hoc committee
be established to study a possible revision to the by-laws requiring
nominations be made one month and acted on the following month and
that it become mandatory to have city councils vote in that interim
period on their choices for first ballot.
Reduction in County Budget for Parks and Recreation
Mr. Donald Loomis of the Parks and Recreation Commission questioned
whether the council lvou1d consider making a statement urging the
county to reconsider its cut in the county Parks and Recreation
Department budget for trails capital improvements. The Chair
directed if action is required prior to the next meeting, that it
was the consensus of the council a letter signed by the Mayor should
be written to the County Administrator expressing some general
concern based on the best information they have. If the county does
not take this matter up until after the June 15th ~eeting of the
council, then the matter should be placed on~/Jg~da for further **
stu~y.
Procedure for Setting Special Meetings
Becker questioned l1hether special meetings could be set in advance
to prevent his being telephoned at the last minute and having to
revise his schedule in order to attend a council meeting. Rice
suggested this be taken up at the agendaless meeting.
~oint City Council-Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting
In response to a question by Mr. Loomis, the date of June 29th was
set for the joint City Council-Parks and Recreation Commission
meeting, if a quorum can be gathered.

AB 323 of June 15, 1970, was introduced containing recommendations of
the City Attorney in regard to rules of procedure for public hearings
in quasi-judicial matters. These were suggestions to afford the
parties before the council due process of law and a fair hearing.
The Chair indicated he would like to see further consideration of
this, with the following questions being answered: (1) a compre-
hensive summary of the types of proceedings engaged in by the City
Council and the other Commissions which would be affected; (2) as
the Chair was uncertain how important this is to protect the records,
the Chair would like to know from staff's standpoint whether they
feel the legal consideration or the judicial considerations are
presently important; (3) a summary be prepared on the reactions of the
Planning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission to an
ordinance of this nature.
MINUTES 1/199
June 15, 1970

Becker expressed concern about the general public misunderstanding
an ordinance of this nature might produce and asked consideration
be given to the preparation of a handbook to be used by the person
who runs the hearing. He suggested instead of swearing a witness in,
that the witness be advised at the beginning of the hearing that a
complete and accurate record is being taken and that the various
declarations being made may fall into the penalty of perjury.
Ellinwood questioned whether any other city had rules of this
nature. She objected to witnesses being sworn in and the recom-
mendation that the party bearing the burden of proof should open
with his presentation.
Sennett recommended amending each individual ordinance governing
that specific body of the city that would be asked to make these
rules.
The Chair directed the staff and the City Attorney look into the
aspects that have been raised by the members of the council and
bring the matter back the last meeting in July.
Trails Budget, County Parks and Recreation Department
Motion of Rice, seconded by Ellinwood, that because the council
considers the countywide trails system of importance both to the
individual cities of Marin and to the bringing together of the
various Marin communities as a county, that it is resolved that the
council requests the Board of Supervisors carefully to consider the
Parks and Recreation Department budget, with a view toward the re-
insertion of the $20,000 item for the trails program which was in

Report of Tiburon-Belvedere Joint Drainage Committee
Becker outlined the geographical areas and the recommended solutions
of the joint drainage study committee. He.stated new policies may
have to be developed to handle problem areas on private propertyv
In his opinion funding seemed to be the minor problem, the major
concern being the completion of the task by November 1st. Becker
indicated concern that they not get into policy areas which haven't
been resolved, that they not commit themselves to low-yield projects,
and that they be certain if they commit themselves to detailed
projects, that they would be able to accomplish these projects.
At the request of Ellinwood, the Chair directed the City Manager
share stenographic expenses as approved and submitted by the City
of Belvedere in this matter.
The Chair directed this matter be sent to staff, to be returned on
the July 13th agenda.
Hilarita Park
Becker reported on the 4.8 acre parcel of land on the Hi1arita
property, currently owned by the Housing Authority, which offered
the possibility of the City's' purchasing this property for a park
by public subscription. Becker asked that a committee be appointed
to report back at the next council meeting with the following
findings: relative to the formation of a blue-ribbon panel of
Peninsula design professionals on the specifics of land use of the
proposed park area and its relationship to the general plan;
the various means of acquisition that the city might contemplate;
and the action of the Housing Authority at their future meetings
as a basis for contemplating further action.

Stotter Appeal
Mr. William Kirchhoff, representing his father, Col. A. A. G. Kirchhoff,
questioned the council as to the action they contemplated in the
matter of the Lawrence Stotter action, whose appeal on the denial of
side and rear-yard variances by the Board of Adjustments had been
denied. He stated to date Mr. Stotter has taken no action in this
matter and he requested the council enforce its decision that the
violations must be corrected by its action in denying the variances.
After debate by the council, the Chair directed the City Attorney
bring this matter back with the recommendation as to what legal action
the city can take to enforce its action, which would bring the parties
back before the council and possibly effect a settlement.

By AB 354 of June 22, 1970, an ordinance entitled AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY OF TIBURON ADOPTING A MASTER PLAN FOR PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS
HILARITA, having passed first reading on June 8, 1910, came on now
for second reading and adoption.
The Chair read a letter from Councilman Fanning to the City Council
expressing concern in regard to the density, the mix of one, two,
three and four-bedroom units, and the impact the development would
have on the Reed School District. The Chair also referred to letters
from former Councilman Wi1licm R. Bremer expressing concern over the
number of units; a letter from MI. Donald O. Stutsman of the Marin
County Housing Authority dated June 22 to the council indicating a
willingness for the Housing Authority to sell the 4.8 acres above
the Hilarita site to the city for $36,000, provided the entire acreage
would be devoted to public use; and a letter from Mr. Herbert Wenig
of June 16, 1970, which is attached to the agenda bill.
Mr. Douglas Ferguson, president of the Ecumenical Association for
Housing, pointed out the real applicant sponsoring this project
is the Tiburon Ecumenical Association, which is composed of four
local churches whose members will comprise the corporation. He
stated the project is subject to federal review by the Federal
Housing Administration.
Mr. Ned Weed, chairman of the Tiburon Ecumenical Association, spoke
for the proposed density and advised the Reed School District has
indicated by letter, copies of which will be furnished to the
council, that they are prepared to handle the proposed number of
students from Hilarita.
Mr. Herbert Wenig spoke against the density, which did not conform
to the Tiburon General Plan, and urged the matter be returned to
the Planning Commission and an advisory citizens committee composed
of experts be appointed to study the plans submitted.
Mr. Robert Hayes questioned whether this area was specifically zoned
for this particular association, whether Tiburon has conducted a
survey to determine the current housing needs in Tiburon for moderate
income groups, and whether the City Council has contacted the
school board to determine the impact on the school district. He
urged a review be mnde of the unit mix.
Mrs. Anja Triwar questioned the impact on the school district, and
also questioned why the conmunity has not expressed an interest in
low income housing as well as medium housing.
Mr. Eiler Foss recommended maintenance provisions be included in the
conditions of the housing project.
Mr. Bruce Flanagan urged the council create a citizens committee to
study the plans further before passing second reading. Mr. Benton
Bostick stated the land proposed for moderate income housing by
Mr. Kurt Heath on June 8, 1910, is zoned for a maximum of 2.5 units
per acre. He stated with the present plan the city will be acquiring
4.8 acres of park and will still be taking care of the present
residents of Hi1arita.

able to the school district.
With the general consent of the council, and there being no objections,
the Chair directed that the ordinance can be read by title only.
The ordinance having been so read, it was moved by Ellinwood, seconded
by Becker, that Ordinance No. 51 N.S., AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
TIBURON ADOPTING A MASTER PLAN FOR PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOlVN AS HlLARITA,
be deemed to have passed second reading and be adopted.
It was moved by Sennett that the ordinance be amended by placing an
additional section noted as 3(f) as follows: Any other language in
the ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding, approval of the exact
number, kinds and size of the units to be constructed on the 8-acre
parcel devoted to moderate income housing is reserved and these
specifications shall be presented on or before the presentation of
the precise plan to the Planning Commission and City Council.
The Deputy City Attorney advised this motion would eliminate the
maximum of 112 units.
Sennett withdrew the motion, and the Chair moved, seconded by Sennett,
to insert the following under Section 3(f): Those proportions of
1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom units as set forth in the exhibits above are
not approved or adopted herein and the mixtures and types of units
in the development shall be subject to control and review at the

AB 367
APPLICATION FOR CATV FRANCHISE
Cable TV of Marin
Action: Continued to July 27, 1970
AB 367 of June 22, 1970, was introduced containing the request of
Cable TV of Marin for a franchise to provide service in four specific
locations within the city, as listed in the agenda bill.
The Chair referred to correspondence from Mr. Frederic F. Manley,
Howard R. Leistner and a petition from 16 residents from the Taylor
Road area requesting a franchise be given to Cable TV on the grounds
there is no service presently available to them by C1earview.
Mr. Robert Pace of Cable RV spoke for the application. Mr. Ralph
Young of C1earview Cable stated their service had been held up pending
approval from the telephone company for use of their poles. They
have now received the preliminary papers and are ready to proceed to
build in the area under discussion.
Ellinwood suggested the city conduct a survey of persons having
service with C1earview to determine the quality of the service
for the Public Services Committee and staff to make an evaluation
of whether or not a second franchise should be granted.
Mrs. **
Mr. Philip So Britton, Mr. James Fitzgerald, ~ Polly Smith and
Mr. Howard Leistner all indicated poor te1eyision reception and
urged a franchise be given to Cable TV of Marin to expedite hookup
of cable TV in their area.
The Chair directed the matter continued until the meeting of July 27,
at which time the council will receive a recommendation on the
Paradise Drive area from the Public Services Committee and staff.
The council will also consider the general question of extending
Marin Cable TV to other sections, but will be primarily concerned
with the Paradise Drive area on July 27th.

LOCAL TRANSIT SERVICE
Marin County Transit Systems, Inc.
Action: Adopted Resolution No. 300 &
referred to Public Services Committee
for report at 7/13/70 meeting.
By AB 348 of June 22, 1970, the Public Services Committee brought in
a request for subsidy by the Marin County Transit Systems, Inc.,
with the proposal there be a specially designed bus routing into the
various neighborhoods on weekdays during non-commute hours, at a
greatly reduced cost to Tiburon residents. This could be effected
by the city's buying a specific number of tokens on a monthly basis
and reselling them to Tiburon residents for a lesser amount.

It was moved by Ellinwood, seconded by Sennett, that the City Council
of the City of Tiburon desires that the Marin County Transit Systems,
Inc., will be able to continue to operate and also to expand its
local inter-city commute and shopper bus services; the council
recognizes the time element necessary to effect a change in the
public's transportation habits and therefore feels this pilot program
should be encouraged as an integral part of proposed county-wide
public transit services, and further instructs its Public Services
Committee to develop and bring in to council for action on July 13th
a detailed proposal for city sponsorship and assistance of their
service; and a resolution be adopted to this effect. Motion carried.

APPLICATION FOR ROUTE CHANGES
Marin County Transit Systems, Inc.
AB 364 of June 22, 1970, containing the application of the Marin
County Transit Systems, Inc., to the Public Utilities Commission of
the State of California for permission to add certain routes and
services to their system, with three of the proposed route changes
relating to the City of Tiburon, came on for information purposes.
Action: Resolution of Commendation
No. 301 adopted.
Becker requested correspondence received by the Public Utilities
Commission from a resident of Tiburon about the bus stop situation
be referred to staff.
There being no objection, the Chair directed a resolution is adopted
by general consent of this council commending Marin County Transit
Systems, Inc., for their approach to experimenting with these three
routes, namely, commuter Route 6, servicing Larkspur and Corte Madera
to the Tiburon ferries; Weekend Route 11, connecting Tiburon downtown
to Sausalito downtown; and Weekend Route 12, circular route on the
Tiburon Peninsula; and the council endorses the operations.
Ellinwood requested the Assistant City Manager communicate this to
the proper persons on the Public Utilities Commission staff.
AB 351 Action:
REMOVAL OF ADDITIONAL POLES
AND OVERHEAD WIRES IN UNDERGROUNDING
DISTRICT
Requested Resolution to be
brought back July 13, 1970.
AB 351 of June 22, 1970, was presented by the Finance and Administra-
tion Committee pertaining to the removal of additional poles and
overhead wires by PG&E, with the final completion date of 1975.
The Chair directed the City Attorney look into the preparation of an
appropriate formal complaint to be signed with the Public Utilities
Commission which would ask the PUC to determine: (1) whether or not
Tiburon is entitled to have these funds additive on top of the
commitment; (2) if they are not entitled to have them additive, whether
or not they are entitled to the commitment so that the allocations
would become irrelevant; (3) how the city can verify whether the
costs of undergrounding are reasonable.
In response to a question by the Chair, Mr. Conrad assured the
council 70 percent of the undergrounding can be accomplished by
January 1971. Ellinwood suggested the council consider drainage in
that area at the same time as undergrounding is done.
The Chair directed a resolution be prepared, to be brought back on
July 13th, with the understanding that 70 percent of the lines
in the district, to across Beach Road, will be underground by
January 26, 1971, requiring all of the Rule 20 money up to and
including the 1972 allocation.

engineering firm for the necessary preliminary work, as well as
proceeding with the plans and specifications as appropriate for
repairing the landslide partially blocking Mar West Street, which
project will be included in the 1970-71 budget.
There being no objection, the Chair directed that the recommendation
of the City Engineer in AB 363 be approved, and that the authoriza-
tion be granted.
AB 365
STOP SIGNS ON HILARY DRIVE
Action: Revised consonant with the
direction to relocate the
stop signs.
By AB 365 of June 22, 1970, the Public Services Committee brought
before the council the question of traffic control devices on the
steep portion of Hilary Drive between Hawthorne Terrace and Del
Mar. Stop signs had been previously placed on Hilary Drive, with the
recommendation that the matter be brought back to the council after
a trial period.
**
Mr. Richard Jones, president of the Hawthorne District Property
Owners Association, spoke in support of the stop sign at the top of
the hill and referred to a petition signed by 64 residents presented
to the council in May of 1969 requesting a stop sign be placed at the
bottom of the hill.
Becker requested the City Engineer prepare a report for the council
on the question of putting in sidewalks in the area.
Motion of Ellinwood, seconded by Sennett, that in response to the
petitions of the residents and what the council believes to be
substantial evidence that a stop sign be located at the intersection
of MaraVista Court and Hilary to stop traffic that is northbound,
and an additional stop sign at Hilary Drive and MaraVista Court to
stop traffic southbound, be installed. That the stop sign presently
at Theresa Court be removed and that the street be striped with a
caution warning. The l5-mile-per-hour speed limit that is already
indicated remain the same.
At the suggestion of Rice, Ellinwood removed from her motion the
provision that the street be striped with a caution warning.

developing lands for public recreational and cultural activities.
He named the directors and suggested the Foundation be contacted by
the committee.
In response to the Chair, Becker stated as the Housing Authority set

CITY COUNCIL/PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT
June 29, 1970
Chairman Sennett reviewed the proposed joint meeting agenda and
requested G~airnan Teather of the Parks & Recreation Commission to
~rief1y discuss thone itemc on the agenda concerned with the ob-
jectives and goals of the Parks & Recreation Commission.
Teather began by mentioning one ?rime area of concern of the Parks &
Recreation Commission being that of the Paradise Drive walkway and
the many delays beinB encountered. Sennett indicated the Public
Services Com8ittcc ~;~G presently ~eeting with affected property owners
prior to the m&ttcr coming before the Council.
iaycr indicated ~ dc-Gire ia discussion of a general nature rather than
of specific iS511~S in nu e:te~pt to better establish lines of communi-
cation end fu~ther establioh the Parks & Recreation Commission as a
functioning body of the City. Tayer made reference to the present
powers and responsibilities of the Commission as set forth in
Resolutions No. 90 end 116. Both of these resolutions established
the Parks & Rcc~ection CU~3ission end stated the powers and purpose
of the Com~icssion; ilO~1cver, the main difference being in that one
resolution called fo:~ ~ 5-memb~r Con~ission and the other called for
a 7-~eDber COD~issicn. It was then suggested that the Parks & Recre-
ation Co~~issio~ possibly b~ established by ordinance rather than by
resolution.
Llln~n inuicntcu it was no~ a question of whether the Commission was
established by resclution or ordinance, but rather the content,
stated pc~crs &~d ~2cponsibi11t1es being the significant factors.
"Q ~td indic3te that an ordinance would perhaps be more in the form
vi perw~nency.
Sennett ~~ggcsted that the staff, with a committee from the Parks &
Recreation Coc~issic~ and the City Attorney, draft a proposed ordi-
~a!lCC. Rice then suggested that the City Attorney draft an ordinance
a~d submit it to the Pa~~~ & R~creation Commission for their review,
~nd then the finalized 1~aft could be presented to the City Council
~t the first available ~g~ndn, hopefully July 20th.
Rice indicated that cost wac the key ingredient in the various projects
coming fron the P~~ks & Rec~eation Commission, as opposed to those
items out of tte ~lu~~inc Co=niscion. Therefore, it has always been
more difficult to ccn8~de= Parks & Recreation Commission items due to
futu~a funding.
Becker pointed out that the highest role or function the Parks &
Recreation Co~~ission can perform is that of open space planning
and programming. lIe suggested that the title Open Space Commission
eight be more appropriate th~n the present Parks & Recreation Com-
~ission.
Chair~en Sennett indicated the Council recognized the good work of
the Parks & Rncreaticu Com~ission these past few years; however,
the joint neeting tonight should attempt to establish better lines
of coonunication and imple~entation of various Parks & Recreation
reco~mendations to the Council.
Ellinwood painted out the goals and objectives of the Parks & Recre-
~tion Commission can be funded if presented in an organized plan or
program. She suggested a general plan or 5-year program, of which
each year the funding would be reviewed by Council. Rice was in
complete agrecwent with this type of approach and suggested a master
park and recreation plan be considered similar to that of the City
of E31vedere's long-r~nge development plan. Tayer then suggested
a portion of the e:~isting resolution establishing the Parks & Recre-
ation Co~m1ssion be incorpo~eted as a starting point.
~1INUTES #201
June 29, 1970

Becker indicated the files of Belvedere relative to their long-range
development plan are available for reference and that he also could
be of assistance.
Sennett directed the Parks & Recreation Commission to prepare an
"O.pen Space and Recreation" master plan which would then be an element
of the Tiburon General Plan. Sennett also suggested the Parks & Recre-
ation Commission should go as far as they could with the proposed
open space tnaz:.>~~r plan and when additional expertise or consultation
is required, they would then come back to Council for necessary fund-
ing or appropriation.
Smith noted that in so many instances, past letters, resolutions and
requests of the Parks & Recreation Commission to the City Council
would receive no action or even an acknowledgement. Occasionally,
however, the problem or delay was at the staff level. Loomis referred
to the procedures guide and chart prepared by a committee of the Parks
& Recreation Commission as to the Commission's feelings for the best
solution of achieving the various goals and objectives. Sennett
explained that he felt both the Council and Parks & Recreation Com-
mission werestriving for the same results, but perhaps in different
ways.
Becker pointed out that to a certain degree the Planning Commission
concerns itself primarily with "specifics," while the Parks & Recre-
ation Commission was concerned primarily with "generalities." He
feels it takes both of these ingredients to properly advise the City
Council.
Ellinwood made reference to Council agendas of other cities and sug-
gested the possible revision of the present Council agenda, whereby
the public would have more opportunity to speak and would not become
involved in the regular and routine technical matters that arise.
Mayor Rice indicated he was presently attempting to place agenda items
in order of priority. Sennett reaffirmed the suggestion of suspense
calendars.
Teather discussed the problem of lanes and paths in Tiburon and read
a letter regarding Raccoon Lane from Tiburon resident Mary Price.
Sennett suggested placing items on a Council calendar and notifying
the Parks & Recreation Commission as to when a hearing would take
place on the Council agenda.
Becker suggested that the Council should direct the committees and
commissions on how they should interrelate the general aspects con-
cerning specific functions, flow of communication and basics for
operation.
Sennett requested that a resolution be prepared instructing the Parks
& Recreation Commission to prepare an open space master plan. Ellin-
wood suggested that the Parks & Recreation Commission might consider
doing such a plan in segments.
Chairman Sennett called for a recess of the meeting at 9:40 p.m.
The meeting was then resumed at 9:50 p.m.
Mayor Rice discussed the establishment of a committee for local
environmental health and ecology. He pointed out that the City of
Belvedere had recently appointed such a committee and possibly the
City of Tiburon could consider the joint committee status with
Belvedere. Chairman Sennett asked the Parks & Recreation Commission
to contact Belvedere for possible joint status and report back to
the Council.
Sennett requested the staff to comment on the Parks & Recreation
Commission's procedural aspects and suggestions after reviewing,
by July 20th. The committee, composed of Sennett and Becke~ should
incorporate into their report for the July 20th meeting those items
of pertinence in the Parks & Recreation procedural guide.

Becker discussed the merits of logging-in correspondence and the
utilization of a reading file and how this procedure could be bene-
ficial to all concerned. Ellinwood indicated she had been exposed
to this type of correspondence system previously and completely
concurred with Councilman Becker's feelings.
Sennett suggested the Parks & Recreation Commission review the
agenda items for the July 13th City Council meeting and thereby
make any necessary suggestions or recommendations.
Concerning the County's proposed Tiburon Trails Plan - Phase II,
Mayor Rice indicated this matter would be on the July 13th City
Council agenda, placed in committee at that time and then brought
back at the July 27th Council meeting with the Commission's input.
Smith briefly discussed various items of prime concern to the Parks
& Recreation Commission, such as trails and pathways, lanes in Old
Tiburon, walkways (Paradise Drive), park in the Hilarita development,
Reed School Park acquisition and the railroad right-of-way.
Sennett expressed concern of access across Tiburon Boulevard if and
when the City does acquire the railroad right-of-way property, and
if this matter has been considered. Ellman pointed out that this
consideration would be a part of the General Plan approach to con-
necting links between the railroad property and the various lanes,
paths and trails.
Ellinwood discussed recent conversation with Ed Ryken, Executive
Director of the Marin Senior Citizens Coordinating Council, regard-
ing the status of the Tiburon Senior Citizens group. Knight made
reference to the Parks & Recreation Commission Resolution No. 22
sent to the Council in April, recommending joint funding by the City
and County.
Chairman Sennett noted the discussion of the Committee being concluded,
adjourned the Committee of the Whole and returned the Chair to Mayor
Rice, who then reconvened the special meeting of the City Council.

OF ~E CITY OF TIBURON ESTABLISHING COMBINED C DISTRICTS, having been
sent to staff on May 25 for clarification and revision to the pro-
cedural provisions, came on again for first reading.
The City Attorney summarized the main procedural change, that master
plans be adopted by resolution rather than ordinance. In regard to a
master plan being required before property was rezoned for cluster
zoning, the City Attorney recommended this be done by regulation.
Sennett requested the Planning Commission be directed to study and
prepare regulations to be submitted along with their recommendations
pertaining to the basis or standards upon which judgment will be made
as to whether rezoning will be permitted into the C zone.

Ellinwood outlined the areas covered by their report and the suggested
solutions that the committee felt could be accomplished this year.
The main points covered included the abatement of the Red Hill slides,
the diking of the Tiburon Peninsula Club pond, a line from Tiburon
Boulevard and Mar West to the ponding area, a tide gate at Main and
Tiburon Boulevard, and a tide gate at Beach Road and Main Street.
The City Engineer outlined his response to the committee report,
listing three actions the council might consider: (1) the development
of a master drainage plan; (2) a joint powers agreement with Belvedere
to~udy the problems; atd resolving the question of the acceptance and
maintenance of drainage facilities on private property.
Becker emphasized the need for a master plan and urged the council
decide on a policy for private property and easements. He also sug-
gested short-term, temporary measures against flooding be taken and
the development of a broad basis for final action the following year.
The Chair requested the minutes reflect the council's opinion that
there is a need for a master plan, and suggested the Public Services
budget include moneys to go into the development of this plan, with
the City Engineer furnishing estimates. The Chair further directed
staff to draft up a joint powers agreement with the City of Belvedere
with respect to the Tiburon Peninsula Club's ponding area. The City
Engineer was directed to prepare a list of problem drainage areas on
private property and easements on which he suggested the council change
its policy.
Ellinwood asked the record reflect the committee does not want excess
water routed into the Belvedere Cove, but that it follow the natural
lines.
The Chair asked for a definitive opinion from the City Engineer at
the next meeting if the tide gate at Beach Road and Main Street
should be replaced or whether it just wasn't functioning last year.
In regard to the Tiburon Peninsula Club pond, the Chair requested the
City Engineer check the costs for berming and the alternative of not
rerming but using bigger pumps. He asked for an analysis of what this
could be reduced by if something less than a concrete structure were
used. .
In order to meet the July 31 deadline of the Regional Water Control
Board to Sanitary District No. 5 regarding the infiltration of the
sewage lines by flood waters, the Chair directed the staff work with
the committee in preparing a resolution reflecting (1) the intention
to appropriate money for a master plan, (2) the intention to inventory
those easements on private property which relate to acute drainage
problems, (3) the immediate resolution of certain problems like the
tide gates, (4) and the entering into of a joint powers arrangement
with Belvedere in regard to the Tiburon Peninsula Club pond.
In regard to the State Division of Highway's past plans for rebuilding
Tiburon BOUlevard as soon as Tiburon solved its drainage problems, the
Chair requested the City Manager contact the State for further discus-
sion on this.
Becker asked the record reflect they are discussing a city-wide master
drainage plan, with specific emphasis for this initial period on the
downtown basin and the Pine Terrace area.
RECESS
A recess was taken at 9:47 p.m., the council reconvening at 10:00 p.m.,

Mar West Slide
Mr. Stewart Hopkins, president of the Hill Haven Property Owners
Association, asked whether there were any plans to repair the slide
on Mar West, which occurred last winter. The City Engineer stated
this project has been delayed as the city has applied for funds from

has now completed his investigation, however, and the work should
be completed by late September.

By AB 375 of July 13, 1970, the Planning Director presented the report
on Page II of the Tiburon Trails Plan, as prepared by the tlarin County
Planning Department.
After discussion by the council on the plan, Mr. Allan Littman of the
Planning Commission was recognized and stated he felt the Planning
Commission should be given the opportunity of studying this matter
before the council took any action on it. He objected to the council's
having heard recommendations from the Planning Director on adopting this
matter in principle without its first having been sent to the Planning
Commission. Mrs. Polly Smith of the Parks and Recreation Department asked
that a joint study committee be formed of Parks and Recreation Com-
missioners and Planning Commissioners to review the plan further.
It was moved by Fanning to send the report to the Parks and Recreation
Commission and the Planning Commission for public hearings and process-
ing as an amendment to the Tiburon General Plan. The motion was
seconded by Rice, who then moved an amendment to include, if feasible,
a joint meeting on the plan be held by the Parks and Recreation Com-
mission and the Planning Commission.

Mrs. Grace Pastori stated there has always been an easement for

maintained. He spoke of flooding problems in the area.
Ellinwood suggested research be done into the offer of dedication

Plan and the annual salary program, remain within the finance
committee structure for further review, to be brought on to the
council's agenda in October by the committee for review and study
by the council at that time.
Mr. Michael McGuire, a city employee, felt a 5 percent raise was
adequate only if the dental plan is accepted. Mr. Harold Hobbs

to 10 percent increases, which he felt was very genexous in view of
the economic state of the country.

of the report, that MIS be contacted, and the matter brought back
on August 10 for further discussion and review of the amount of
the subsidy. The Chair stated he would dictate a letter as sug-

CONTINUATION OF CATV

LOCAL PROGRAMMING
Action:
Report of C.M. accepted and
evolvement of recommendations
ordered.
By AB 383 of July 27, 1970, the City Manager brought before the
council the following recommendations made from a study on the
continuation of CATV franchise evaluation and local programming:
1. That the City Council require Clearview to utilize
their Channel 6 for local origin programming, including
the wecther/TI1 channel required by their franchise, in
complinnce with the tentative FCC rule and the city code;
2. That they be nsked to advise the city on the number of
channels which their p~esent system has the potential
to cnrry, and Wh2t it might cost to expand that
system to 20 o~ more channels;
3. That Clear~ie~J be authorized, if they wish, to make a
survey of residents to determine what type of programming
would attrnct patronage, the survey to be prepared in
conjunctio~ with the city;
4. That the City fittorney be asked to consider amendments to
the city code establishing a broader regulation of
service quality than now exists;
5. That the city invite other public agencies franchising
Clearview/Televue/Columbia CATV operations in Marin to
form a Rates and Service Conference for the mutual
advantage of the agencies and the franchisees, having
special consideration for the fact that such facilities
as head-in equipment and receivers are shared and the
improvements created by the efforts of one ar~.:of
benefit to ::!ll.
Mr. Leonard Bergseth~ rep~esenting Clearview TV, stated they will
be controlled by the FCC in regard to recommendations 1 and 4;
re No.3, they would be happy to conduct a survey and work with
the city; and they fully concur with recommendation 5.
The Chair directed the City Manager to formally contact the other
cities with reference to the formulation of a Rates and Service
Conference, as sugG2sted in item 5; that the City Manager be
authorized to ~ake the inquiry in item 2; that Clearview be
authorized under item 3 to make the survey; re item 4, that the
City Attorney be asked to consider amendments to the City Code for
regulations of service quality, with the thought that if and when
the Rates and Service Conference can be constituted, they may want
to consider the amendment, along with results obtained from items
2 and 3. No action will b2 taken on item 1 at the present time.
The Chair further directed a report be made by the City Manager at
such time as he's received responses from other cities, and no later

applicant and the City for the retention at applicant's cost of a
consultant to be selected by the city who would be retained to
evaluate the technical quality of the service to be supplied and
its conformance with the technical requirements of the city code and
other relevant technical matters; (2) the City Attorney be instructed
to draft an ordinance issuing the franchise, for introduction at the
first regular meeting in August; (3) the ordinance be considered
for first reading upon introduction, provided that second reading and
adoption would not occur until after the report of the consultant
had been received and considered; and (4) the committee would also
recommend that the applicant be requested to make every reasonable
effort to bring his fee structure in line with the fees charged by
C1earview in the city.
With the consent of the com:nittee, Becker amended the motion to
include the provision th~t the franchisee be required to deposit a
sum of money with the city in order that the city might retain a
consultant, to be paid from the deposit fund, to test the signal
and quality of reception.
In response to a questio~ by ~r. Howard Leistner as to the need for
hiring a consultant to test the quality of reception, Ellinwood
responded the ordin:lnce has certain technical requirements which
must be met and can only he judged by a trained consultant.
The Chair ordered the corrmittee's recommendations be accepted with
the unanimous consent of the council, and that the City Attorney be
instructed to draft an ordinance for introduction at the second regu-
lar meeting in August; that item 3 be the same; that item 4 be the

the ordinance it be broad enough to include the contiguous areas to
this franchise proposed to be annexed by the city.

Resolution No. 380 adopted,

budget proposal.
AB 373 of July 27, 1970, was introduced containing a resolution of
the City of Tiburon proclaiming its intention to cooperate fully
with Tiburon Sanitary District No. 5 in solving problems relating
to infiltration of sanitary district lines during flood and storm
conditions.
Motion of Ellinwood, seconded by Becker, to adopt Resolution 380,
carried:
AYES: COUNC ILI1EN : Becker, Ellinwood, Fanning, Rice, Sennett
NOES: COUNCILMEN: None
ABSENT: COUNCILMEN: None
The agenda bill also contained a report from the City Engineer to
the City Manager giving hie rough estimates of the total cost of
$71,000 of establis~ing the temporary system for a pumping facility
located at the Tiburon Peninsula Club pond and recommendations
regarding the tide gate in Beach Road near Main Street.
Becker reco~mended they simply try to develop a plan which puts the
best use to a sum of money which appears appropriate to the council.
He recommended program guidelines be set up, working with the City
of Belvedere, and suggested making the Tiburon Peninsula Club
pond continuous so that it will dump water in the straits; and
rather than sizing the pump to a 25-year storm, size the pump to
the ditch.
The City Engineer responded to Ellinwood's suggestions as follows:
a pumping system restored in conjunction with dredging at the
Tiburon Peninsula club pond would be beneficial; . . he doesn't
believe work would be beneficial at Cove Road and Tiburon Boulevard;
an additional tide gate in the storm drain that goes from the bus
stop under Main Street would not be effective; replacing the tide
gate on Beach Road has already been budgeted; hydro-mulching Red
Hill would be ineffective because of the erosion. The Chair sug-
gested the City Engineer consider the figure of $20,000 for correct-
ing the drainage problems on a short-term basis.
Mayor Drechsel of Belvedere questioned what could be done to meet
the'July 31st deadline imposed upon the Sanitary District by the
Bay Area Hater Pollution District. He agreed the $71,000 figure
was unrealistic and recommended the two councils study ways to
handle the problem at a lower cost.
The Chair appointed an adhoc committee of Becker and Ellinwood to
work with Mayor Drechsel to bring in recommendations at the next
meeting as to whether or not the $20,000 is a realistic figure.
Senre tt asked for recommendations on specific projects to be
accomplished by the end of this calendar year and specific costs
involved on each one of the projects. The Chair stated the Finance
and Administration Committee next month will be including funds
in the budget for this matter.

DRAINAGB STUDIES
Authorization to Retain Consultant
Becker introduced various charts and diagrams detailing the areas of
consideration in the Downtown and Reed basins. Debate ensued on the
necessity of determining what can be achieved in the way of improvement
of the Downtown and Reed basin drainage systems prior to the advent of
winter weather. Following further discussion of the action by the City
of Belvedere to allocate $2,500 on a matching basis for the retention
of a cODsultant, it was moved by Rice, seconded by Becker, to budget
and appropriate the sum of $2,500 for special consultation and contract
engineering for the Downtown and Reed basins as a sum matched to tbat
appropriated by the City of Belvedere; the consultant to provide an
inventory of existing drainage facilities, problem areas and prior
proposed solutions; an evaluation of that inventory; formulation of
proposals for design principles for immediate and long-range projects;
a policy review by the City Council, based upon which he would then
present a workable program to be reviewed by the City Council for tbe
purpose of establishing priorities and construction phasing. The
question being called for, the motion was adopted.
It was tbe sense of the Council that the program should be broken into
two phases. the first phase to provide for immediate yield in the
current calendar year. the second phase to provide for high yield
over a longer period of time; further, that the action now taken
should be implemented, preferably through .a Joint Powers Agreement
executed with the City of Belvedere. Becker was authorized to proceed
with arrangements for interview and selection of the consultant and
the City Manager was instructed to discuss with the City Attorney the
matter of preparing a Joint Powers Agreement.
There being no further business permitted under the special call. the
meeting was adjourned at 9:25 p.m.
