These same agencies also Dave Bracken recognize that the current public pension systems are not sustainable for reasons such as current economic and investment climates, pension changes in the private sector, Fairfax longer life expectancies, and shrinking work forces. Michael Rock Though some organizations, such as the League of California Cities, have been analyzing alternatives to the current pension standards for years, pension reform is a larkspur topic recently growing in publicity. There is no question that isolated abuses, such as jean Bonander "pension spiking," have contributed to recent substantial media coverage. Employer plan costs have compounded for many reasons. One key explanation for Mill valley pension rates increases is the recent extremely poor investment returns that followed Anne Montgomery benefit enhancements established after the late 1990s when the California Legislature facilitated escalating pensions. Now, career public safety officers can retire at age 50 with close to a full salary under the 3% at 50 plan. Many non-safety career employees Novato can also retire near their salary levels, with additional years of service. The economic Michael Frank pressures that have arisen over this past decade demonstrate that the actions that occurred in the late 1990s must be amended, and soon. Ross Gary Broad MMA fully recognizes that any modifications that would affect employees would only occur through each agency's negotiated agreements with its respective bargaining groups. With a goal of advancing the dialogue on these topics, and not dictating San Anselmo outcomes, MMA recommends that the member agencies consider the following potential Debbie stutsman pension system reforms: 1) Eliminate the practice of employers paying the "employee share" of the pension San Rafael cost. Currently, the employer is paying all or a portion of the employee share in Ken Nordha some jurisdictions. 2) Eliminate the practice of reporting of employer paid "employee share" as Sausalito compensable earnings. Adam Politzer 3) Limiting pension COLAs to 2% annually. 4) Reducing pension benefit tiers for newly hired employees: a. Safety - 2% at 50 Tiburon b. Misc. 2% at 60 for CaIPERS, 2% at 61.25 for MCERA Peggy Curran c. Determining final compensation based on a three year average rather than the single highest year. 5) In addition, the State Legislature should take actions to implement meaningful county of Marin pension reform, to include enhancing the sustainability of defined benefit plans Matthew Hymel and allowing for greater flexibility and options that work for employers and employees. Marin Municipal. Employer pension costs are climbing beyond our ability to manage them without water District impairing basic service levels to the public. The goal of MMA's work is to recommend Paul Helliker pension levels for full career employees with pension benefits that maintain a reasonable standard of living into retirement. The benefit level should be fair and adequate to recruit and retain high caliber, professional employees, but fiscally predictable and sustainable for employers and taxpayers. Each MMA administrator will work with their respective governing bodies to consider these proposed reforms in preparation for the future negotiation cycle.

We were disappointed to receive your letter of September 29, 2009, in which you indicate that a conditional use permit modification should be sought in connection with the anticipated delay in constructing the new classroom wing. We hope that, upon further review, you will conclude that this is not necessary and that the deferral of the additional classrooms is benign and that our interim landscape and garden plan is a constructive and beneficial plan. As you know, the classroom wing is at the rear of the property. It is not visible to anyone except for our neighbors above the temple. Because it is located to the west of the playground and relatively close to the hillside on which the closest home (at 23 Via Los Altos) is located, it provides neither visual nor noise screening or buffering from the playground area. We have been in communication with these neighbors and they have indicated that they have no problems with the on-going construction or with respect to any deferral of the classroom wing. As you, and we, evaluate our next steps, we were wondering if we could get together with you and discuss the points raised in your (and our) letter. We believe that your response may have been engendered by our being somewhat unclear in our letter. We have no intention of eliminating the classroom wing. We are working diligently on the construction of the project and have been careful to consider each step, including what we hope is a relatively short deferral of this portion of the project. We look forward to discussing this issue with you and coming to a common understanding of how the project shall proceed. Very truly yours, Joshua R.

DIRQUOR RECEIVED October 2, 2009 Re: Census 2010 Complete Count Committee for Marin County Dear City/Town Managers: OCT - 5 2009 TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE TOWN OF TIBURON The County of Marin, in partnership with the Grassroots Leadership Network, is pleased to invite you or a representative from your jurisdiction to the "Census 2010 in Marin: We Need a Complete Count!" This event will convene community-based organizations and government representatives to share information about community education efforts being planned for the upcoming Census. "Census 2010 in Marin: We Need a Complete Count!" will take place at the Pickleweed Park Community Center, 50 Canal St. in San Rafael, on Friday, October 16th, 2009 from 11:00 to 12:00 p.m. In partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau, the County of Marin, Marin Community Foundation, and other members of the Marin Complete Count Committee, we are working to involve many community- based organizations that serve underrepresented populations to raise awareness about the importance of participation in the Census. As you know, it is critical to obtain an accurate count of every resident living in our county. The participation of your organization is crucial. Your unique knowledge and expertise are essential to the process of designing and implementing a Census awareness campaign targeted to members of our community that may not respond to the census questionnaire. At this event, the U.S. Census Bureau will provide information about the efforts taking place around the Country and we will all discuss the possibilities for much-needed outreach in Marin. You can view the agenda at http://www.maringrassroots.orq/quarterlymeetings.htm1. A response to this invitation is requested by Friday, October 9, 2009. Please contact me at (415) 499- 6290 or kdrummC@co.marin.ca.us. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. We look forward to working with you to make sure that everyone counts!

Walsh, CPA Director of Finance OCT - 5 2009 TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE TOWN OF TIBURON During the 2009-10 State budget process, the State Legislature passed and the Governor signed into law Chapter 14, Statutes of 2009, Fourth Extraordinary Session, Assembly Bill (ABX4 14) that suspends Prop 1 A and Assembly Bill (ABX4 15) that allows the State to borrow 2009-10 property tax revenue from local taxing entities and requires the State to repay the borrowed funds with interest at two percent (2%) no later than June 30, 2013. The borrowed money will be shifted to a county level Supplemental Revenue Augmentation Fund (SRAF), (also new with this year's legislation) where the funds will be used to cash flow K-12 schools, courts, prisons, Medi-Cal, hospital and K- 12 school bond expenses that would have otherwise be funded from the state General Fund. The law adds Revenue and Taxation (R&T) Code Section 100.06 which requires the county auditor to reduce the amount of ad valorem (1 % basic tax) property tax revenue apportionments to each local taxing entity for fiscal year 2009-10 by 8% of the total amount of ad valorem. property tax revenue received in the 2008-09 fiscal year. The Triple Flip and VLF Swap amounts received by the County and cities in 2008-09 are also included in the 8% loan amount. We have attached an estimate for your review. The R&T Code Section also includes a hardship provision for local agencies that are in danger of bankruptcy or unable to provide core services to apply for a reduction or elimination of their property tax reduction to the State Department of Finance no later then October 15, 2009. The cap for the hardship exemption amount is 10% of the combined total reduction amount for all local agencies in the county. If the hardship exemption is granted, then the hardship amount will be reallocated to the other local agencies in the county to make up for the difference. In other words if the hardship provision is invoked by one of the districts in Marin County the other local agencies amount will increase proportionately, a re-calculation would occur and your value would then be greater than 8%. The law also adds Government Code (GC) Section 6588.6 and amends the GC Section 6588 for the Securitization of the repayment of property tax revenue through a joint powers authority such as the California Statewide Communities Development Authority. We are attaching a schedule estimating your entity's 2009-10 property'tax reduction (8% of 2008-09). We will finalize the reduction after November 15, 2009. In order to facilitate the mandatory loan to the State with the least disruption possible, we intend to capture the 8% reduction in 2' installments 1/2 from your December 15, 2009 teeter apportionment and the other 1 /2 from the April 15, 2010 teeter apportionment.
