Rose@sbcalobal.net> Subject: INFO BULLETIN - Save DBW - This is Your Call to Action!! Good morning everyone, Governor Schwarzeneggerhas decided thathe could save taxpayer money by eliminating the State Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW) and moving their workload into Parks and Rec. Since DBW is a boater-funded program totally independent of the State's budget crisis, this action amounts to a pillaging of boater programs and delivers California boaters into the arms of an already overloaded Parks and Rec department. DBW needs to remain a stand-alone agency! Without DBW's support, the RBRA would not be able to carry out its mission to keep the waterways clear and pollution-free. The grant programs administered by DBW provide approximately 1/2 of the RBRA's annual budget and these programs are absolutely crucial to our success as an agency. Please read over the attached letter (from CA Association of Harbormasters and Port Captains) and send a letter of support for DBW. This is a critical issue for the boaters of California and the communities and businesses that benefit from our nautical heritage. Thanks, Bill Price Harbor Administrator Richardson's Bay Regional Agency Dear Members: Please read the attached Call to Action instructions. It is critical that as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, take up the cause and contact the Governors office and their own Legislators offices to oppose eliminating DBW. Please take a few moments to do this immediately if you put it aside it may not get done, and we need every boater and every boating-industry affiliate to inundate the Governors office and Legislators offices with our message. Feel free to contact me should you have any questions, comments or suggestions, and feel free to disseminate this to any others you know who support maintaining DBW as a stand-alone agency. Thank you for your efforts!! Email Disclaimer: htto://www.co.marin.ca.us/nav/misclEmaiIDisclaimer.cfm From: "Linda G. Mcintyre" <mcintvre@mosslandinaharbor.dst.ca.us> Date: January 21, 2009 5:35:34 PM PST To: "CAHM&PC" <cahmoc@comcast.net> Subject: Save DBW - This is Your Call to Action!! CALL TO ACTION! The Governor is proposing to eliminate the Department of Boating and Waterways (DB W) and we need your help! DBW is critical to the future of boating in California. DBW funds launch ramp construction, loans for marina construction, construction of boating safety centers, boating safety and law enforcement programs, abandoned vessel removal, public outreach programs, and even weed control in boating areas! How can you help? We need you to contact the Governor and your legislator to express your strong opposition to this plan. Below is the address and phone number for the Governor and web links to find your individual legislator. Also, below is information you can use in your communication with the Governor and legislators. Insert this information into a personalized letter or email, and send it to the Governor and your legislator IMMEDIATELY! WHEN CONTACTING YOUR LEGISLATOR ASK HIM/HER TO CALL THE GOVERNOR AND REQUEST THAT HE WITHDRAW HIS PROPOSAL TO ELIMINATE THE DEP AR TMENT. Governor Contact Information: The Honorable Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor, State of California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 E-Mail: http://eov.ca.eov/interact#email (Once you type in your information and select a general topic, it will open a window for you to put the text of your message.)

Benefits of the Department of Boating and Waterways (Use this information for your emails and letters, but we suggest you personalize it as much as possible to avoid it looking like a form letter) . DBW is completely self-funded by boater's dollars. DBW does not rely on the State General Fund for one penny to pay for the many construction projects, programs, staff or any of its operating expenses. Eliminating the Department WILL NOT help with the State's financial problems. . Boating is an economic powerhouse: Recreational boating contributes approximately $16.5 billion to the gross state product, which represents about 1.2 percent of the State's economy and generates about $1.6 billion in state and local taxes. There are more than 8,500 recreational boating-related businesses. Recreational boating also creates over 284,000 direct and indirect jobs. DBW's efforts are dedicated to promoting boating and are critical to ensuring the future economic health of California. . DBW is the primary funding source for boating infrastructure construction. Each year DBW provides millions of dollars in the form of grants and loans for private enterprises and public agencies for boating infrastructure projects. Without the availability of these grants and loans. boating infrastructure improvements and repairs will be severely hampered. along with the much-needed lobs these prolects create. . DBW loans money that is paid back with interest. These loans generate approximately $20 million dollars in revenue each year for the Department through the repayment of principal and interest, on these loans. DBW makes money for the State! . DBW's safety programs save lives. Boating accidents are the second-largest type of transportation accident in the nation, exceeded only by automobile accidents, and California ranks second nationally in the number of boating accidents and fatalities. DBW has an aggressive safety outreach program. including direct financial support for law enforcement in high boating counties. that is critical to saving lives on the water. In short, the Department of Boating and Waterways does an excellent job that has many direct and indirect financial and other benefits to the State, all without the help of the General Fund. To allow this Department to be eliminated will have a serious impact on the economy and the safe enjoyment of boating. REMEMBER: WE NEED YOUR LETTERS AND EMAILS TO STOP THIS PROPOSAL. UNLESS THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE HEAR FROM YOU, THEY MAY NOT THINK SAVING THIS CRITICAL STATE DEPARTMENT IS IMPORTANT. DIGEST ;<, From: Bob Prichard [mailto:bprichard@somaxsports.com] Sent: Monday, January 19, 2009 6: 16 PM To: Peggy Curran Subject: Tree chippers An increasing number of tree services have been using tree chippers to pulverize trees cut down on their client's property. The noise from these chippers is deafening. Closing the windows and drawing the curtains does not keep it out. It seems to me that the trees could easily be hauled away and ground up at some industrial location, not in the heart of a residential area. What can be done about this? Bob Prichard 1/20/2009 ~. /;)/Q ~8.,. Peggy Curran From: Peggy Curran Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 4:58 PM To: 'Bob Prichard' Subject: RE: Tree chippers Hello, Bob: Thanks for getting in touch. Right now there is no prohibition on noise emanating from residential property unless it is associated with work pursuant to a town-issued permit. Trees can be altered or removed without a permit unless they are oaks, heritage trees (60" circumference) or specially designated trees. When a permit has been issued, there is no noise limit per se but there are day and hour limitations when the work can occur. I'm guessing that tree service companies find it more economical to chip on site to make the debris more compact and more easily handled or, in some cases, left on the property as mulch. I think one reason tree trimming a1'\d removal does not generally require a permit, or the noise otherwise regulated, is the relatively transitory nature of the work. Unlike a construction project that can endure for months and even years, tree trimming or removal usually happens over hours or a few days, after which the activity moves elsewhere. I do not know if the Town Council is interested in creating new rules to limit what is usually a temporary annoyance. The subject of noise regulation is, however, tentatively slated for the next Town Council retreat, which will be held later in the winter or early spring. In the meantime, I will convey your concern about chipper noise to the Town Council. I hope this is helpful. Best regards, Peggy Margaret A.

Chair's Report No comment. 2. BTLF Report The Teddy Bear Tea was a successful event despite rainy weather. The Nominating Committee will have the names of potential new directors for the upcoming year which will be voted at the March meeting. In order to facilitate fundraising for the expansion, a Leadership Committee is being formed. At this time there are four prominent individuals who have agreed to serve on the Committee. A replacement has been chosen to fill Anne-Marie Bonfilio's position as Development Director. Hopefully the position will be filled in the next month. 3. Library Director's report - Deborah Mazzolini The custodial service the library has used for the past 11 years has been terminated. The individual who has been performing this service has been negligent for some weeks. Director Mazzolini spoke with the Town of Tiburon and their custodians have been hired on an interim basis until the library decides to hire them permanently or recruits another firm. The book drops, which were damaged by an errant driver in the parking lot in September, were replaced in October. However there have been several issues pertaining to defective quality in the manufacturing. One patron experienced a minor cut from a sharp edge on the door flap. Some employees have complained that the retractable bottom in the cart can stick and the springs cause the bottom to fly up unexpectedly. The Director requested a nod from the Board to close on Friday, December 26th so that fulltime employees may have a full 4 days off in a row. The Trustees were happy to grant this request. 4. Financial statement for November 2008 Five months into the fiscal year, expenses are right on target at 410/0. The Board Clerk announced that the City of Belvedere has reported on the amount of tax revenue the library will receive next week will be 60/0 greater than the amount received this time last year. The BTLA budgeted an increase of 50/0 so this was welcome news. 5. Committee Reports The Program Committee continues to fill the Tuesday and Thursday evenings with a variety of events. CONSENT CALENDAR: 6. Approval of minutes of November 17, 2008 7.

Marketing, public relations and fundraising In an attempt to educate the community about the expansion, a description of the current departments and what each has to offer and what we would like the department to have with an expansion will be expanded on. The marketing firm is looking for persons that would consider being interviewed and photographed for the printed marketing materials. The Capital Campaign Consultant will be paid for by the BTL Foundation but contracted with the BTLA. A motion to move forward with hiring a Capital Campaign Consultant, made by Trustee Beverlee Johnson and seconded by Trustee Kuhns, passed. 10. CALPERS Contract Amendment During discussions on the sick leave bank it was recognized that other municipalities and agencies have a benefit in their CALPERS contract titled Credit for Unused Sick Leave. Unused accumulated sick leave at time of retirement may be converted to additional service credit at the rate of 0.004 year of service credit for each day of unused sick leave (i.e. 250 days of sick leave equals one additional year of service credit). A motion to ask CALPERS to make an estimate, not to exceed $200.00, of the cost to incorporate a contract change titled Credit for Unused Sick Leave, made by Trustee Beverlee Johnson and seconded by Trustee Kuhns passed. 11. Personnel policy According to Gary Ragghi'anti's office there have been many legal changes to the laws governing personnel policies and the library's is very out-of-date.
