AGREEMENT BETWEEN
CONGREGATION KOL SHOFAR AND THE TOWN OF
TIBURON REGARDING TRAFFIC MITIGATION FEES
REQUIRED BY A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 215 BLACKFIELD DRIVE
(AP 38-351-34)
WHEREAS, on February 21, 2007, the Town Council adopted Town Council
Resolution 15-2007, which approved a Conditional Use Permit (Town File
#10404)("CUP") and provided in Section 3, Condition 11 of that Resolution that
Congregation Kol Shofar ( "applicant" or "CKS" ) shall pay applicable traffic mitigation
fees at the time of building permit issuance; and
WHEREAS, said Resolution provides additionally, in Section 3, Condition 4 C i
thereof, at Page 8, that among other things any tenant day school use at the applicant's
premises, together with any CKS-operated pre-school at the site, shall not exceed an
enrollment of one hundred fifty (150) children, an increase of 50 students from the
previous maximum; this increase in maximum enrollment triggers the Town's traffic
mitigation fee; and
WHEREAS, CKS is uncertain at this time whether total enrollment at any day
school and preschool at the site will exceed 100 students and has asked that the Town
allow some accommodation that will allow CKS to decide at a later date to relinquish the
right to increase enrollment, at no cost;
WHEREAS, , the Town Council decided on March 18, 2009, to authorize the
Town Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement that would allow CKS to recover
its traffic mitigation fees if it decides to relinquish the right to increase enrollment above
100 students before the Town issues a certificate of occupancy.
NOW, THERFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE
PARTIES HERETO AS FOLLOWS:
1. CKS will pay the traffic mitigation fees applicable at the time it obtains its
building permit from the Town ("Traffic Fees") as set forth in the CUP.
2. If CKS obtains a final amendment to the CUP reducing the maximum number of
permissible students to 100, prior to the Town issuing a certificate of occupancy for the
CKS facility, the Town will refund the Traffic Fees in full. For purposes of this
Agreement, the "final amendment CUP" shall mean either (a) the Planning Commission
has approved the CUP amendment and no qualified person or persons has filed an appeal
within the ten (10) days allowed by the Town; or (b) the Town Council has approved the
amendment and the last action necessary to finalize the CUP Amendment has passed the
date where it may be legally challenged; or (b) any legal challenge has been finally
resolved in a manner that preserves validity of the CUP Amendment.
Page 1 of 2
3. In the event that CKS has not obtained a final amendment to the CUP prior to the
Town's issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the CKS project, the payment of the
Traffic Fees shall become final and the Town will not refund them.

SUBJECT: 2009 RATE APPLICATION
Dear Tiburon Town Council Members,
Mill Valley Refuse Service respectfully submits this request for a rate change as required by our agreement.
In accordance with the rate review section of our contract, tormal rate reviews must be done not less than
once every three years, but "in interim years between formal rate reviews, annual rate adjustments may be
permitted based on changes in whatever consumer or producer price indices the City and the Collector
agree are appropriate."
Accordingly, we are requesting a rate increase of 3.1%, which is equal to the annual change reported in
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, San Francisco - Oakland - San Jose, All Urban Consumers Index. We are
pleased to report that this is significantly lower than rate increases that have been approved by other cities
in Marin this year and reflects our commitment to maintaining reasonable rates, especially during these
difficult economic times.
As you may remember, Mill Valley Refuse Service did not request a rate increase for refuse removal
services in your community last year. This was made possible because of higher than expected recycling
revenues and lower workers compensation insurance costs which when combined largely offset increases in
fuel costs and wages, negating the need for an increase.
Due to the economic collapse this year, however, recycling revenues have plummeted, but wages continue
to rise because of existing labor agreements with our union workforce. On the positive side, fuel prices
have declined and the success of our Worker Safety Program continues to have a positive effect on our
workers compensation insurance bill despite the state approving an 8% rate increase this year. And, of
course, we are continually searching for internal ways to decrease our company's expenses to minimize
rate increases to the communities we serve. We believe an increase to reflect the change in the Consumer
Price Index is warranted and reasonable.
We intend to increase debris box rates by a simiiar CPI adjustment. As you are aware, Debris Box service
is outside the scope of the exclusive franchise agreement. Accordingly, debris box rates may change based
on the competitive market. We will, as always, continue to pay franchise fees for total debris box revenues
in adherence with our contractual obligations.
We are keenly aware of the economic challenges facing ratepayers and remain committed to keeping rates
at reasonable levels. We believe this request for a CPI only increase reflects our commitment to the
communities we serve. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Respectfully yours,
aames Iavarone

We have resided on Geldert Drive for 39 years and have enjoyed almost daily walks along
Hacienda Drive on our way to the open space leading to Gilmartin Drive. The views give us
great pleasure and we enjoy the appearance of the wild flowers that poke through the grass. As
responsible dog owners for the last 20 years, we have always picked up after our dog who enjoys
meeting other dogs and their owners along the way.
We see no reason for the Wayne family to block our and the community's access to the open

Subject: FROM HARVRY ROGERS - BLACKIE'S GARDEN
Hi Peggy,
Here is what we have done in March alone
at Blackie's Garden.
Thank you again for your support.
HARVEY
We had a very productive month in March (2009)
Our major pruning is done - our volunteers worked approx. 50 hours
(in addition to Chris & his two helpers for 2 hours, 20 minutes each.)
Our new Pedestal is finally on order - all the funds were approved (grants)
and should be completed before the end of April.
OUR BIG ACHIEVEMENT this month was due to Matt Donlan's suggestion
(he is the owner of Bayside Garden Center) of using "Coconut Coir"
It comes in bricks which you soak overnight - then it becomes a mulch
which you mix 25% with the native soil when you install a new plant.
For existing plants we drill a 1 - 1/2 inch diameter hole about 8 inches deep
and put in the "Coir" This is so water retentive we (as a test) are going
to cut back the time on our drip irrigation clocks by 25% to save water
& see how the plants respond - I am pretty sure our plants will still flourish.
The cost for this water saving material was under $ 32.00 for the entire garden.
And it was all done with volunteer help in about 20 hours.
I also gave a power point presentation to the Master Gardeners in March
& will do the same at our library Tuesday May 5th at 7:30 pm. It will last
about one hour. Come if you can - it is free & open to the public.
Subject is: How to save water in the garden & native plants at Blackie's Garden.

Mar West tree
Please note that I would like to see the large pine tree retained, with some limb removal
and possible topping. It is the last of a row that was planted to screen the workers'
houses on Mar West from being seen by the wealthy on Corinthian Is. and Belvedere, and as
such, has some historic interest. It also provides a visual counterpoint to the Point
Tiburon project.
I would ask the Council to encourage the Pt. Tiburon Association to remove the Acacia
trees along Mar West. They are considered noxious trees by many municipalities because of
the excess pollen they produce. The pollen covers everything during Feb and causes great
distress to people with asthma and allergies.
Please pass my letter on to the Planning Commission, Design Review Board and the Town
Council.

RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION OF THE
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING STATEWIDE, LOCAL AND REGIONAL
EFFORTS TO HOLD PRODUCERS RESPONSIBLE FOR PRODUCT WASTE
STARTING WITH TOXIC PRODUCTS DEFINED AS UNIVERSAL WASTE
WHEREAS, on February 8, 2006, a State law took effect in California that makes it
illegal to dispose of items defined as "universal waste," in household garbage.
Universal waste includes household batteries, fluorescent bulbs or tubes,
thermostats, other items that contain mercury, as well as electronic devices
including VCRs, microwaves, cellular phones, cordless phones, printers, and
radios; and
WHEREAS, collecting and disposing of these products, and implementing a public
awareness campaign to prevent these banned items from going into the trash will
cost the citizens of Marin ever increasing amount of money; and
WHEREAS, when additional products are declared "hazardous" by the State, the
burden to manage these items will fall to local jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, there are significant environmental and human health impacts
associated with household products that contain toxic ingredients, including
mercury., lead, cadmium and other toxic chemicals that when disposed of
improperly can contaminate water supplies; and
WHEREAS, by covering the costs of'collection and disposal of garbage, local
governments are subsidizing the .production of waste because manufacturers know
that whatever they produce the local governments will foot the bill for recycling or
disposal; and
WHEREAS, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy
approach in which producers assume responsibility - financial and/or physical - for
the management of post-consumer products, so that those who produce and use
products bear the costs of recycling and proper disposal; and
WHEREAS, when brand owners are responsible for ensuring their products are
recycled responsibly, and when health and environmental costs are included in the
product price, there is a strong incentive to design and purchase goods that are
more durable, easier to recycle, and less toxic; and
WHEREAS, Extended Producer Responsibility is a policy approach in which
producers assume responsibility for management of waste products and which has
been shown to be effective; and
WHEREAS, it is timely to develop and support Extended Producer Responsibility
legislation to address the universal waste sector of the waste stream in response.
to the State ban on universal waste from household disposal;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the urges
State legislators to pursue statewide Extended Producer Responsibility legislation
targeted at universal waste that will give incentives for the redesign of products to
make them less toxic, and shift the cost for recycling and proper disposal of
products from local government to the producer and distributor of the product; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the develop producer
responsibility policies such as leasing products rather than purchasing them, and
requiring the manufactures of products to offer less toxic alternatives, and to take
responsibility for collecting and recycling their products at the end of their useful
life; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the will continue to
support Extended Producer Responsibility initiatives and statewide legislation
beyond universal waste to cover areas including.other hazardous products, bulky
packaging, and items like plastics and multi-material products that are difficult to
recycle.

Marin County Waste Diversion Rate changes due to
Disposal Measurement Svstem Act of 2008, SB 1016 (Wiggins)
Annual waste reporting in the State of California has changed format as of January 1,
2009, due to SB 1016. The legislation continues the fifty (50%) percent diversion
requirement placed on all waste under the California Integrated Waste Management Act
(AB 939). However, the measurement process has been revised to allow for a simple,
timely and accurate determination of each jurisdiction's disposal and diversion rates as
they relate to the established requirements.
Historically most municipalities calculated their diversion rate based on changes the
adjustment factors - employment, taxable sales, population, and CPI. The JPA chose,
many years ago, to collect actual tonnage data for diversion and disposal using the
generation based method, which more accurately characterized Marin's waste stream
and improved the diversion rate.
The new reporting system will rely on two primary factors: the jurisdiction's population
and the reported waste disposal. The result is a per capita disposal rate with the
objective being a less than 50% per capita equivalent disposal target. This is a departure
from the old systems objective of a 50% or higher diversion rate. Although waste
diversion has increased statewide there has also been an increase in overall waste
disposal quantities. SB1016 shifts the emphasis from waste diversion to waste
prevention and preventing generation upstream.
Disposal quantities will be tracked as pounds per day (PPD). The PPD will be compared
with historical generation quantities (disposal and diversion data from 2003-2006). The
PPD and the jurisdiction's population produce the per capita disposal rate. The goal is to
be at less than half of the average per person generation to meet the AB939 50%
diversion requirement.
The effects of this new measurement system on the Marin County Hazardous and Solid
Waste Management Joint Powers Authority includes: a shift from an emphasis on
diversion rates to focusing increasingly on reducing the per capita disposal rate through
program implementation and public education; and the JPA will no longer receive special
credits for Biomass and other designated materials, but will maintain the overall benefit
of not having those materials as disposal; and for comparison purposes the new
reporting system generates a unique figure based on individual jurisdictional targets,
demographics, and industrial bases, which makes it impossible to compare targets and
disposal rates across jurisdictions.
While there are some new challenges associated with SB1016, the JPA will continue to
be in compliance with the California Integrated Waste Management Act. Although the
JPA will still track the diversion and disposal tonnages for waste stream characterization
the new system is designed to simplify the report so municipalities can focus more
resources on program implementation. The overall result of this legislation will be a
simpler measurement system and a focus on per capita disposal reduction.

TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #4 1
3/05/09
On February 5, 2009, the Design Review Board reviewed an application for construction of
additions to an existing single-family dwelling, with variances for reduced front and side yard
setbacks, excess lot coverage, excess fence and wall height, and a floor area exception for the
property located at 42 Reed Ranch Road. During the meeting, a few of the adjacent neighbors
spoke both in favor and in opposition to the project. Many of the concerns raised with the
proposal were directly related to the swimming pool, spa and over-height walls at the front and
right side of the property. The neighbor at 41 Reed Ranch Road was also concerned with the
proposed addition because it would block a slot view of Blackie's Pasture from within the living
areas of her home. The Board was unable to make the variance findings and continued the item
with the applicant advised to consider relocating the pool and spa to the rear yard or eliminate
them from the proposal.
The applicant has now submitted revised plans for the project which eliminated the swimming
pool, spa and supporting retaining walls, which eliminated the need for the front and side yard
setback variances and the variance for excess fence and wall height. Other changes were made
to the decks, fences, stairs and guardrails.
Bob Stadelman, designer, said that he feels he and the property owners have responded to the
Board's concerns. He acknowledged that the reduction in lot coverage is marginal but said that
they do not feel the addition or deck space can be reduced further without sacrificing function.
The public hearing was opened.
Farideh Petri asked for clarification on the roof color and reiterated her previous request that the
color be changed to grey so that it would blend in better with the horizon. Chair Doyle explained
that the proposed roof appears to be a relatively modern shingle design in a burnt sienna tone.
Boardmember Tollini confirmed that Ms. Petri's property looks down onto Blackie's Pasture and
suggested that the brown color would blend in with the pasture better than grey roofing. Ms.
Petri agreed but felt that a darker roof color would be more visually obtrusive with the proposed
changes in landscaping
The public hearing was closed.
Boardmember Tollini found the proposed improvements to be situated in a way that makes the
most sense. He thanked the applicant for offering a compromise that makes the project easy to
approve.
Boardmember Wilson concurred and thanked the applicant for working so diligently and
expediently.
Chair Doyle said that the applicant has made considerable changes to the project design and
expressed his support.
