Re: illegal dumping of fill on railroad marsh on Mar West.
Dear Sir:
We are deeply concerned about the continued illegal dumping of fill and debris on the
railroad marsh adjacent to the drainage creek near the pipe that crosses Mar West. This is
sensitive wildlife habitat that is supposed to be protected in perpetuity. Only recently a
large pile of what appears to be construction debris has been dumped in this area. There
are also two large piles of dirt dumped within the past few weeks.
Also, somebody is cutting a trail from Mar West road into the heart of the habitat.
The city of Tiburon should continue to protect and properly manage the rare fresh water
marsh and Zelinsky park.
Thank you for your"immediate attention to this problem and the removal of three piles of
fill.
Sincerely, .

Dear Dr. Griffin,
I am responding to your letter of February 9, 2009. Work was performed last Tuesday at the club
marsh area. In September 2008 the Town of Tiburon and the County of Marin requested that we create
pathways to the marsh to enable County Vector Control to spray for mosquitoes. Subsequently the work
was done by the County. The County also rented a wood chipper and disbursed of the chippings on our
property. I am unaware of any dirt that was dumped into the marsh. I am copying the Town ofTiburon
on this letter. Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Best regards,

TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE
TOWN OF TIBURON
Dear Ms. Curran:
We are writing in response to a Marin Independent Journal Article describing
the low public health scores given by the American Lung Association (ALA) to some
Marin communities that have not updated their tobacco control ordinances since the
early 1990's. This report is to provide the context for the legislative/policy review by
the American Lung Association (ALA) known as the "State of Tobacco Control Report
Card" that was issued, statewide for 297 California cities and 30 of the 58 counties in
California. The local grades cover three key policy areas including: smoke-free
outdoor air, smoke-free housing, and reducing sales of tobacco products. An overall
tobacco control grade was awarded to each of these municipalities.
The Town of Tiburon received an overall score of F, according to the American
Lung Association report. Marin used to be a leader in tobacco control during the
1990s- our tobacco control ordinances were emulated by other counties, states and
even some countries. On the positive side, three Marin jurisdictions received higher
scores (in the ALA annual report released in early January), since they joined over
100 California communities that updated their local tobacco control legislation as a
response to the California Air Resources Board which identified secondhand smoke
in the same category as the most toxic automotive and industrial air pollutants by
categorizing it as a toxic air contaminant for which no safe level of exposure exists.
This much respected scientific report, showed that even in quasi-outdoor settings,
secondhand smoke presents serious health risks to all populations.
The County's Tobacco Related Disease Control Program has collaborated with
the Town of Tiburon for the past 18 years on the implementation and enforcement of
tobacco control laws. This partnership included: (1) helping with business education
kits including building entrance decals to inform businesses of compliance duties, (2)
responding to complaints about businesses in Tiburon (3) resolving complaints so
that your staff would not have to investigate the complaint or issue a citation, (4)
enforcement operations provided by the Marin County Sheriff, under contract with
our office, to help lower tobacco youth access rates in your community. We also
provide treatment to smokers in your community.
During the past two years, the County received calls from Tiburon residents
who want the same protection from secondhand smoke that other Marin
