I have been a member of the Zone 4 Blood Control Board since about 2013,which covers the Belaire neighborhood and parts of the Strawberry district immediately adjacent.....as well as the Cove Shopping Center and that section of Tiburon Blvd crossing through the area....a vital link to the rest of Tiburon. . I'd like to be considered for one of the vacancies on the Council. During recent meetings of the Zone 4 Board that included County members of the Flood District, we've been discussing ways in which we could develop a closer relationship with the Town of Tiburon. We are now engaged in designing and implementing a major upgrade to the Cove pump station, and have contracted with a consulting firm to do a study of the East Creek- that runs under Tiburon Blvd, which currently runs at capacity during King Tides and heavy rainfall, as evidenced during this past rainy season. We think it's time that the Town of Tiburon become more involved in our plans, in a permanently on-going relationship, particularly in the light of our recent meetings on sea level rise held by the County. The Town needs to know what we are planning, and how it may affect access to the Town of Tiburon. All of these efforts arose from the Great Flood of 2014, and the lawsuit that followed (and settled by the County). . I can be available at the Town's convenience for an interview, and a meeting with any of the Town's personnel as it sees fit. Thanks for your consideration, John Cell: 619-977-7341 i Charles Lynch Lea Stefani Tiburon Town Hall 1505 Tiburon Boulevard Tiburon, CA 94920 April 30,2017 Dear Ms. Stefani; I an interested in applying for appointment to one of the interim openings on the Tiburon Town council. My wife and I have been residents of Tiburon for the past 28 years, both as renters and home owners, and we raised both our children in this community. Their success in life is attributable in large measure to the strength of our town in providing a nurturing and extraordinary environment, and I now desire to contribute to the ongoing positive evolution of our town. My professional background is as a physician in solo practice in San Francisco. I believe that my experiences in communications and decision making with patients, families, and colleagues has given me valuable expertise and insight into the careful deliberative process necessary at the council meetings. During my career I have also had the opportunity to serve on the board of an individual practice association in San Francisco and San Mateo, as well as the board of the local Medicare contractor managing quality oversight of all dialysis units in Northern California, Hawaii, and the American Trust Territories. These activities have helped me hone administrative, budgetary, and policy-making skills. In addition, I have successfully directed my own small business practice for 27 years gaining extensive managerial and analytical experience. Locally I was active in the community for many years coaching local youth sports teams, as well as participating as a parent in scouting troops (our son is an Eagle scout with Tiburon's Troop 48, and our daughter a Gold Scout with the Girl Scouts). More recently I was involved with the Tiburon Peninsula Emergency Services disaster preparedness committee in organizing the community medical supply storeroom located at Del Mar School campus. Politically I am a non-partisan independent voter, and have no financial relationships or disclosures regarding businesses operating within the town. My pastimes include avid reading (we do enjoy a wonderful public library here in Tiburon), gardening (though in all fairness, I am not very good at this), trail running and hiking on Ring Mountain, and I have belonged to the St Stephen's church choir for 28 years. The choir rehearses on Thursday evenings and would not interfere with the council's Wednesday meeting schedule. Thank you and the current council members for your thoughtful consideration. Please call if you require any additional information.

I would not seek to be a candidate in the Fall election. I retired from the active practice of law in December, 2015 after 56 years. My fields of expertise were taxation and real estate. After graduating from Michigan Law School in 1959 with high honors, I entered the Attorney General's Honors Program of the Department of Justice in Washington where I served under Robert Kennedy. In 1963 1 joined the San Francisco Law firm. of Pillsbury, Madison and Sutro, and later was a partner in Titchell, Maltzman & Mark and then Feurzeig, Mark & Chavin. have lived on Mar East Drive in Tiburon for 21 years. Previously I lived in Kent Woodlands where I served as Chair of the Architectural Committee and President of the Home Owner's Association. In July, 2016 1 was appointed to the Marin County Civil Grand Jury and served until a conflict of interest arose that caused me reluctantly to resign. I am currently or have been the President and a director of the following Non-Profit Foundations: The Herbst Foundation; The Olympic Club Foundation; and the Edward M. Nagel Foundation. Let me know if you would like an additional information. Regards, Melvyn I. Mark 2236 Mar East Drive Tiburon, CA 994920 LATE M #_5 John Leszczynski Application To Be Appointed To The Tiburon Town Council My name is John Leszczynski. I've lived in Tiburon continuously since 1996, and currently own a home and reside there at 318 Karen Way with my wife and three children. I have been a member of the Zone 4 Flood Control Board since 2012. Zone 4 covers the BelAire neighborhood, parts of the Strawberry district immediately adjacent, as well as the Cove Shopping Center. Most important, Tiburon Blvd, a vital link to the rest of the Tiburon Peninsula, crosses Zone 4. . We are now engaged in implementing a major upgrade to the Cove pump station. We have also contracted with a consulting firm to do a study of the East Creek that runs under Tiburon Blvd. All storm runoff in the area is channeled through East Creek, under Tiburon Blvd, on its way to the bay. The East Creek currently runs at capacity during King Tides and heavy rainfall, as evidenced durin this past rainy season . Continuing sea-level rise, and the effects of a warmer climate bringing fewer, but more intense storms will increase the chances of East Creek overflowing its banks in the near future, flooding Tiburon Blvd for longer periods of time. The results of the planned upgrades to the pump station, in conjunction with whatever is not effectively done to improve the carrying capacity of East Creek may not reduce periodic flooding of the BelAire neighborhood, or Tiburon Blvd....and could in fact increase it! So, I think it's time that the Town of Tiburon become more involved with Flood Zone 4's plans in a more formal, on-going relationship. The Town needs to know what the Marin County Flood District is planning for us, and how it may affect access to the Town of Tiburon. Therefore, I would like to be appointed to the Tiburon Town Council, and be Tiburon's official voice at the Flood District's meetings, making sure our concerns are addressed. . Thank you,
