ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Sarah Loughran encourages local municipalities to opt for 100%renewable energy through Marin
Clean Energy(or"deep green"). She said Marin County is an example of environmental stewardship,
and is looked to for leadership. She said the Town of Tiburon is one of the last municipalities in
Marin to opt for"deep green", and encouraged the Council to do so.
Helene Marsh, Paradise Drive, is committed to renewable energy. She commented on the progress
Tiburon has made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and encouraged the Town to set an
example for residents and businesses and convert to "deep green".
Sana Thomas said she and her daughter were worried about climate change and have made their own
efforts to reduce emissions. She believed that action to reduce emissions should be taken at the local
level, and encouraged the Town to convert to "deep green".
Barbara Tomber,Harbor Oak Drive,hoped the Council would opt for 100%renewable energy. She
said she was unsure if Tiburon would meet its emission reduction goals, as outlined in the Climate
Action Plan. She added that if the Town opted for"deep green", those goals would be easily met.
Chris Kubik, Marin Clean Energy employee,thanked the Town for being a"light green"customer,
and commented on the large emissions reductions when switching from "light green" to "dark
green". She said making the switch is a cost-effective way for the Town to reach its Climate Action
Plan goals. She said many municipalities and businesses are now opting for"deep green"based on
the belief that"climate action today is more valuable than climate action tomorrow'.
Chance Cutrano of the Sierra Club,encouraged the Council to switch to 100%renewable energy for
municipal uses. He said over half of Marin communities have opted for "deep green", and
commented that this type of environmental action and leadership makes the Sierra Club proud, and
makes him proud to be a Marin County resident.
Don Love urged the Council to consider"deep green".He said Marin Clean Energy is a good option
for the community, and said it was time to "think globally, and act locally".

Town Council Minutes#12-2017 DRAFT June 7, 2017 Page 3
Department)—Introduction and first reading of ordinance
Director Anderson said a recently enacted state law requires counties and municipalities to adopt an
expedited and streamlined process for permitting electric vehicle charging stations.He said this was
one of a series of laws intended to promote greenhouse gas emission reductions. He gave a brief
overview of the streamlined permitting process, and said the ordinance will likely be
noncontroversial and will not have any effect on the current process.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell asked about the inspection process once the station is installed at a home or
business. Anderson said the focus is safety, and ensuring the high-powered electrical system is
installed safely and securely.
Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment. There was none.

PH-3. 2017-18 Municipal Budget—Introduction of Fiscal Year 2017-18 Municipal Budget and
Capital Improvement Program
Town Manager Chanis gave a summary of the entire anticipated operating budget for FY 2017-18.
He said the proposed budget showed revenues of$11,752,247 and expenditures of$11,551,825,with
an operating surplus for the year in the amount of$200,422.
He said the operating revenue is expected to increase by 5.9%in the coming year,attributing this to
an increase in property and other taxes, investment earnings and charges for services(like building
permits and fines). He noted a decrease in expected sales tax revenue due to the removal of one of
the Town's larger sales tax revenue generators: the Corinthian Yacht Club.
Management Analyst Creekmore said operating expenditures were expected to increase by 6.6%in
the coming year due to increases in salary and wages,employee benefits,supplies and services,and a
shift of$90,000 from the Capital Improvement Plan to the Public Works operating budget.
Town Council Minutes#12-2017 DRAFT June 7, 2017 Page 4
She also reviewed several anticipated expenditures in the coming year—Corp Yard and Town Hall
maintenance, open space vegetation management, increased election costs, and additional
contributions to the OPEB Reserve and CalPERS unfunded liability. Creekmore then reviewed the
trend of operating expenditures over recent years,and gave a brief overview of proposed increases in
expenditures by department.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell asked about the increased expenditure for contract services in the
Community Development Department. Director Anderson said this expenditure was for outside
building permit plan checking services. He said this number more accurately reflects what is being
spent, as this item has been consistently under-budgeted for in previous years.
Mayor Fraser asked why the CalPERS unfunded liability payment had been moved out of the
departmental budgets.He believed this expenditure should be spread across the departments,as it is
reflective of employee headcounts, and doing otherwise might be misrepresentative of the actual
yearly departmental expenditures. Director Bigall said this expenditure can be accounted for either
way. She said Staff accounted for it in this manner because the Town is choosing to contribute
toward it,but is not required. She said the required portion of the Town's unfunded liability is spread
throughout departments based on costs and headcounts.
O'Donnell clarified that there are two unfunded liability issues: OPEB and CalPERS. He said the
Budget Committee and staff had discussed gradually paying down the large CalPERS liability. He
said the funds for making this payment are coming out of the Town's reserves,which is why it is not
included in the departmental budgets.
Director of Public Works Barnes reviewed the proposed projects in the next fiscal year's Capital
Improvement Program,with a total budget of$4.5 million.He said the Town would be conducting a
major pothole repair project to remove small failed sections of streets and preserve the life of the
streets, and annual drainage improvements. Other projects include drainage and slide repairs on
Sugarloaf Drive, replacement of a damaged culvert under the Old Rail Trail (done in conjunction
with Belvedere),and utility undergrounding.He said the largest project in the CIP is the McKegney
Green Play Field.
Director Barnes then brought up a slide showing all the various projects included in the Capital
Improvement Program, and reviewed how each project is prioritized into one of three tiers. He
pointed out two new projects that had been recently added, and highlighted the projects that were
included in this fiscal year's Capital Improvement Plan.
Town Manager Chanis reviewed the proposed fund transfers for the coming fiscal year.He said staff
was recommending a transfer of$4.7 million dollars out of the General Fund Allocated Reserves and
the Employee Housing Assistance funds and into funds for the CalPERS Liability Reserve, OPEB
Fund,Self-Insurance,Infrastructure&Facility Replacement,Public Works Corp Yard Improvement,
Park Development& Old Rail Trail, and Streets &Drainage.
Town Council Minutes #12-2017 DRAFT June 7, 2017 Page 5
Vice Mayor O'Donnell and Town Manager Chanis discussed the various initiatives over the years to
build up a reserve of funds to improve the Public Works Corp Yard,including this year's transfer of
$1,000,000. Chanis said that only preliminary studies have been done at this stage, but the project
will likely cost several million dollars.He said this transfer of funds is an attempt to get closer to that
goal.
Mayor Fraser wondered if there was an opportunity to partner with Belvedere on Corp Yard
facilities. Chanis said there may be. O'Donnell commented that there had also been some discussion
on sharing Corp Yard facilities with the Richardson Bay Sanitary District.
Chanis then referred to another graphic representation of the fluctuation total of these
unrestricted General Fund reserves, and referred the Council to another graphic showing the
projected totals of the three different categories of funds (policy-driven, discretionary,
unallocated) if the fund transfers are approved. He noted that the proposed budget shows
decrease in the unallocated fund balance due to allocating those funds to specific projects.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell said this was a change from previous budgets; he said the Town is now
beginning to spend the unallocated funds on projects, and ranking projects by priority was a wise
way to go about it. Chanis added that the fund transfer toward OPEB and Ca1PERS was still only
a transfer at this time; the Council will discuss the actual spending at a later date.
Councilmember Tollini believed the actual expenditures would not be all that different; it was
just a question of replenishing funds after spending, rather than before. Councilmember
Fredericks agreed, and thought this way may be more transparent. Director Bigall said it had
been Town practice in years past to reallocate additional funds to other reserve funds.
O'Donnell commented that the third-party trust for the OPEB liability has done very well. Chanis
said the Town has made a return of about $75,000 since establishing the trust.
O'Donnell asked if the Town was prepared to move forward on energy-efficiency projects, such
as installing solar panels on the Police Department building. Town Manager Chanis said staff is
working on obtaining rough costs for both solar panels and public EV charging stations in Town,
and will return to Council once information is finalized.
Mayor Fraser wondered if there was an opportunity to develop a partnership with one or more of
the privately owned parking lots in Town for EV charging stations.
Councilmember Fredericks said she would like to see the switch to "deep green"with Marin
Clean Energy included in the budget, and commented that this switch may even be profitable for
the Town if solar panels are installed. She also asked about the projects that were being
considered for the allotted Open Space Management funds, and if those projects included
maintenance of native species habitats that are at risk of collapse.
Town Council Minutes#12-2017 DRAFT June 7, 2017 Page 6
Director Barnes said more money had been added to the budget so as to address "Phase 1"and
"Phase 2"projects quicker than usual, so the Town could then focus on habitat protection
projects sooner than originally planned, but not this year.
Fredericks believed addressing the habitat loss to be a critical project, and was concerned that
waiting a few years would further endanger the habitat. She asked for more information to be
brought back to the Council before the official budget adoption at the next meeting, so the
Council can decide if it desires to allocate more funds to specifically address this project.
Mayor Fraser opened floor for public comment.
Helene Marsh, Tiburon resident, requested that"deep green"be included in the proposed budget.
She commented that other municipalities have seen enough savings by installing solar panels to
help pay for the added cost.
Sarah Klein, Hawthorne Drive, asked that the Council postpone the transfer of funds to pay for
the unfunded liability until the two new councilmembers are seated and until the Marin County
civil grand jury report on pensions is discussed.
Councilmember Tollini commented that the Council received a report from an expert about the
rationale for funding Ca1PERS unfunded liability payments in a strategic way. She mentioned the
large interest rate on the liability, and said it makes budgetary sense to begin paying it down.
O'Donnell agreed, and said this was the first necessary step in working down debts.
Councilmember Fredericks said she was in support of the fund transfer for the liability expense,
and believed it to be wise to be in a position in which the Town could pay down the liability and
the expense of carrying the liability as well. Town Manager Chanis clarified that this request was
only for a fund transfer; he said staff would return to Council with the request to make any
payments.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell said the Council should remain vigilant about this matter, and remain
apprised of how other cities and towns are managing their liabilities as well. He said there are a
number of ways to deal with it.
Of the request to add"deep green"to the budget, O'Donnell believed the Town could do more
than take a leadership role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. He thought direct action to
reduce emissions would be more appropriate and said Tiburon has taken more of these direct
steps to reduce emissions than other Marin communities. He thought it would be even more
valuable to encourage the remaining 30% of Tiburon residents that are not customers of Marin
Clean Energy to make the switch. He said he had no problem with switching, but said the
Council should understand that it would only be a leadership role.
Town Council Minutes#12-2017 DRAFT June 7, 2017 Page 7
Mayor Fraser said there were many ways to reduce the Town's carbon footprint. He suggested
setting aside some funds toward the ultimate goal of utilizing renewable energy, and having a
discussion at a later date as to what projects to allocate those funds towards.
Fredericks believed the Town should set a standard for the community, and that the Town does
benefit from a reduction in its own footprint by switching to "deep green".
O'Donnell agreed with his fellow councilmembers, and said it would be fair to review this option
in conjunction with other similar projects at a later date.
Fraser said the Council wants to be responsible, and the goal should not be to just take a
leadership role, but to encourage more users to utilize renewable power. He believed the Council
should be better informed and look at the bigger picture, so this option should be considered
alongside a collective group of"green"projects the Council would like to see in the community.
The rest of the Council agreed, and Chanis confirmed that a budget amendment could be made at
a later date for any future changes.
Councilmember Fredericks asked that the rest of the Council consider supplementing the budget
with more funds for Open Space management and species/habitat preservation; she expressed
concern that the Town had not allocated enough money to protect against habitat collapse.
Town Manager Chanis clarified the proposed budget includes an additional $25,000 over the
current year's funding for Open Space management, and Director of Public Works Barnes
confirmed that this level of funding likely would not address those concerns this year.
Mayor Fraser asked the staff to return to the Council with the necessary information and funding
levels necessary to move forward with Councilmember Fredericks' recommendation, so an
appropriate budget amendment can be made if necessary. The Council agreed.

her final Council meeting, the Council is invited to share their thoughts with
Councilmember Erin Tollini, and Councilmember Tollini is invited to share her
comments as well (Mayor Fraser)
Mayor Fraser said the Council was saying farewell to one of their team,Councilmember Tollini.He
said she has served on the Joint Rec Committee, the Planning Commission, and on the Town
Council as Councilmember, Vice Mayor, and as Mayor. He applauded her leadership in the
community,and in the many initiatives she has led,sometimes against the tide.He said the Council
is lucky to have her support and counsel, and the community is lucky to have someone like her
looking out for their interests and lending her voice to those who do not have a strong voice.
Councilmember Fredericks said she regrets not having the chance to work with Tollini on more
projects,and commended her calm presence,her poise,and her ability to interact with those with an
opposing viewpoint respectfully. She said Tollini is gracious, funny, well-spoken, and further
commented on Tollini's innovative ideas to revitalize the downtown.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell said Tollini had been an excellent councilperson, and her interests in the
matters at hand,and her intelligence,had shown.He commended her integrity,her sense of financial
conservatism,her logic and her vision.He said he valued her presence on the Council and she will be
missed.
Mayor Fraser presented Councilmember Tollini with several gifts, including a framed resolution
commemorating her time serving the Town of Tiburon.
Councilmember Tollini said many factors have contributed to making Tiburon a very special place to
her, including Town service. She thanked the staff for their friendship and assistance. She said she
admired the life Councilmember Fredericks had created here,and her involvement with the greater
community. She said serving alongside Vice Mayor O'Donnell helped her to become a better
councilmember and admired his ability to navigate through tough issues. Finally, Tollini said she
looked up to Mayor Fraser's ability to hear all viewpoints in the room,and seek out opinions of those
who may be unrepresented. She said she appreciated his advice over the years,and viewed him as a
mentor. She said Tiburon will always feel like home.

AI-l. Auto License Plate Reader System — Consider authorization of replacement of the
Town's Automatic License Plate Reader System (Office of the Town Manager/Police
Department)
Chief of Police Cronin said the Town installed the current Auto License Plate Reader System
(ALPRS) in 2010, and since then, it has worked effectively and reduced crime. After purchase,the
company came under new ownership,which has made repairs difficult and has resulted in delays in
maintaining the system.
He said the cameras on Tiburon Boulevard recently suffered failure due to a power surge,and there
had been a significant delay in determining that the cameras needed to be replaced, at a cost of
$50,000. He added that this would result in the same system, with the same troublesome
maintenance issues.He said staff had obtained a quote from a different company,Vigilant,to replace
the entire system at a cost of$66,000.He briefly reviewed several advantages to changing vendors,
among them being that Vigilant is local and the largest provider of ALPRS in the Bay Area.
Chief Cronin said the staff is requesting an addition to the budget to purchase this system,
authorization for the Town Manager to negotiate the contract, and for the Council to consider
amending several policy changes previously imposed. Of the policy changes,Cronin said two were
problematic: length of data retention, and the ability to share data. He said many of the crimes
committed here are committed by serial criminals,and many are apprehended outside of Tiburon.He
said a longer retention period and the ability to share data with other agencies employing ALPRS
would give Tiburon police more investigative opportunity to see if vehicles associated with other
crimes had visited Tiburon.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell asked if the Town had made a claim to PG&E for the power surge(s).Cronin
said not yet; staff is gathering evidence on the actual dates of the surges. Cronin added that the first
power surge likely destroyed the surge protector, and the second destroyed the cameras.
O'Donnell also inquired about the privacy considerations of the cameras. Cronin confirmed that
there had never been issues of improper use of the cameras,and said he is confident that there is little
opportunity for abuse of the system.
Mayor Fraser commented that the change in retention of the data was quite large,going from 30 days
to two years. He asked if there would be any issues with offsite data storage of the Town received a
subpoena. Chief Cronin said the data still belongs to the Town, and information would still be
compiled by staff.
Fraser also inquired about the change of the authority role from the Town Manager to the Chief of
Police. Cronin said he was comfortable in the role,and said there was benefit to some delegation of
responsibility.
Councilmember Fredericks asked that the Police Department give periodic reports to the Council on
the usage of the system. Chief Cronin agreed.
Town Council Minutes#xx-2017 DRAFT June 21, 2017 Page 3
Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment.
Larry Tint said his home had been robbed several years ago, and was a supporter of these cameras
and a longer retention period. He wondered if the new system came with a warranty to offset the
increased cost.
Chief Cronin said the cameras came with a 1-year warranty, but was unsure if the Town could
purchase additional warranty beyond that.He added that the City of Belvedere has the same system,
and is very satisfied with it.
A member of the public commented that the changes to the policy were not on the agenda, and
therefore, could not be acted upon tonight. Town Attorney Stock agreed.
MOTION: Authorize a$75,000 allocation to the FY 2017-18 Municipal Budget for purchase of
new system and authorize Town Manager to negotiate contract with vendor,Vigilant.

AI-2. Open Space Management Update—Receive staff's report on open space management
funding and consider desired level of funding to be included in the Fiscal Year 2017-18
Budget(Department of Public Works)
Director Barnes gave a brief overview of the funds that had been allocated toward Open Space
Management since 2010 and the adoption of the Open Space Management Plan.He reviewed several
proposed projects for the coming year,including some work to be done in open space areas to protect
existing Tiburon Jewelflower populations.
Director Barnes said the local advocate for the protection of the Jewelflower is insistent that the
work to remove the invasive oat grass must be done in the spring.He said this proposal is in conflict
with the Town's existing mitigation measures and the Open Space Management Plan states that work
should only be done in these sensitive areas when the endangered species in question (the
Jewelflower) is dormant.
Director Barnes said complying with this proposal would require completion of an environmental
study and modification to the existing mitigation measures. If completed, the Town would hire an
experienced weeder to remove the oat grass each spring for four years. However, he added, if that
experienced weeder were unavailable,the Town would have to hire a contractor to do the work,and
a biologist to supervise, both likely at an additional expense.
In response to a question from Councilmember Fredericks, Director Barnes clarified that the
mitigation measure in question is that the endangered species must be dormant when doing work in
the area. He said staff has been told that the work needs to be done in the spring before the oat grass
seeds, but the Jewel flower does not become dormant until mid-July. He added that even while
Town Council Minutes #xx-2017 DRAFT June 21, 2017 Page 4
dormant, the Jewelflower is still visible, but very small, which is why a weeder with specialized
knowledge is required to remove the oat grass even then.
Fredericks wondered if an individual could not do the weeding effectively when the Jewelflower is
dormant because the plant is still visible.Director Barnes said they could,but staff had been told by
the proponent that the work to remove the invasive oat grass needed to be done in the spring, and
could not wait until the Jewelflower is dormant.Barnes further clarified that the new environmental
study was necessary to update the previously-adopted Open Space Management Plan to allow this
work to be done in the spring, when the Jewelflower is not dormant.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell wondered why the environmental study was so expensive for what appeared
to be a small change. Director Barnes confirmed that the environmental study was for new mitigation
measures, and to allow the Town to do the weeding at a different time of year.
The Council agreed that the cost was very high for such a small amendment, and questioned the
value of such a study.
Director of Community Development Anderson said the current Open Space Management Plan
states that further environmental review would be necessary if the Town needed to do work near the
endangered species, at a time they are active and not dormant. Director Anderson said it has now
come to the staff's attention that the oat grass must be removed at the same time that the endangered
species in question,the Tiburon Jewelflower,is active.He said a protocol needs to be determined for
how to do the work, and when.
Councilmember Fredericks asked if it was a possibility to do only the amount of weeding that the
budget allows each year, once the study is completed. Director Barnes said it was a possibility,but
said it was important to eradicate invasive species for 3-4 consecutive years.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell asked for clarification about the staff's suggestions to have contractors work
near the sensitive species being met with resistance, even if they were to be monitored by a
professional biologist. Director Barnes said the staff had attempted to bring in other organizations,
like the Conservation Corps,but these organizations were objected to by the Jewelflower proponent,
even though the operations were directly overseen by a biologist.
Mayor Fraser asked Director Barnes if these organizations had the capabilities to do the job properly.
Director Barnes said they did, as long as they were overseen by a biologist.
Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment.
Eva Buxton, local botanist, said she has experience working with the Tiburon Jewelflower. She
spoke to the importance of protecting and preserving the rare and endangered species. She argued
that the invasive species removal is delicate work,and that a biologist supervising the Conservation
Corps would not be able to truly monitor the removal activity. She expressed confidence that she
could work with the Town to find an appropriate weeder.
Town Council Minutes#xx-2017 DRAFT .lune 21, 2017 Page 5
Vice Mayor O'Donnell found it troubling to suggest that biologist meant to supervise would not be
doing so, or that others are not skilled enough to do the work, or couldn't be trained. He was
concerned that the issue was being driven forward with a narrow focus. He believed there are good
ideas to do the work, with proper supervision. He was willing to spend more money on open space
management,but expressed concern over the expenditure for the study and the process taking shape.
Councilmember Fredericks said the new study must be done because the existing study does not
address these kinds of special protected species. She said she would like to see the Town authorize
this expenditure to start getting rid of invasive species that are threatening the habitats of protected
species found only in Tiburon.
Mayor Fraser said he was confident in the Department of Public Works' ability to find the right
resources and mitigate the situation. He suggested Director Barnes consult with Ms. Buxton if
additional consultation on implementing the right program is needed.
Town Manager Chanis clarified that the requested addition of$15,000 in this fiscal year's budget
was for one skilled weeder to do the work over four years, rather than hiring a contractor to do the
work and a biologist to supervise.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell asked how the Council will be kept apprised of the progress.He believed that
person should be held to some degree of accountability for work done in the field.
Director Barnes said that while the ultimate goal is to protect the Jewelflower, the actual work is
removal of the oat grass, which can be measured. Town Manager Chanis added that if a person is
identified, staff can return to the Council to describe the protocol that will be used in the field.
MOTION: Authorize a $15,000 allocation to the FY 2017-18 Municipal Budget, as
recommended, and request periodic progress reports on the project.
Moved: O'Donnell, seconded by Fredericks
VOTE: AYES: Fraser, Fredericks, O'Donnell

report from staff on June 7,2017.He said this item is typically adopted on the Consent Calendar,but
due to the action taken tonight, he said staff is requesting the Council now adopt the FY2017-18

AI-4. Vacancies on Town Council—Consider making two interim appointments to fill two
vacancies on the Town Council (Office of the Town Manager)
Town Manager Chanis said two vacancies on the Town Council were created by the resignations of
Councilmembers Doyle and Tollini earlier this year. He said the Council interviewed 16 applicants
for the two open positions. These two individuals will serve until the date of a special election to be
held in November. Those elected will serve the remainder of the terms, until 2020.
Chanis said the Council had previously determined a process for the appointment: after public
comment, each Councilmember will publicly state his or her four "preferred" candidates to help
guide discussions until an appointment can be made.
Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment. There was none.
Mayor Fraser thanked the applicants for their interest and desire to serve the community.He said the
number of applicants spoke to a great desire to serve the community in Tiburon.He asked that those
individuals not selected for the Town Council this evening focus their energies toward the other
openings on local boards and commissions.
Mayor Fraser said he believed the Council benefits from diversity of background, experience,
thinking and leadership. He added that there is also value to considering the background of
individuals and their service to this community, or other communities. He said he was bringing
forward four candidates he believed represented the community and culture, and who would look
toward the future to make Tiburon an even better place. Mayor Fraser announced his four preferred
candidates: David Kulik, Holli Thier, Jon Welner, and Angela McInerney.
Councilmember Fredericks said she prioritized candidates based on previous volunteer experience in
Town, a commitment to running in the election in November, those who had a broad vision but
specific ideas on what is feasible, some skill or background that would add to the Council's
deliberations, and those who would not have a personal interest in the matters that come before the
Town Council. Councilmember Fredericks announced her four preferred candidates: Jon Welner,
Holli Thier, Patrick Sherwood, and Angela McInerney.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell said this was a difficult decision to make,and commented on how wonderful
it is to have so many individuals show an interest in getting involved in the community. He also
asked those individuals not selected for the Town Council to stay involved in the community. He
said he had a preference for applicants who had already served the Town in some way. Vice Mayor
O'Donnell announced his four preferred candidates: David Kulik, Jack Ryan, Holli Thier, and
Patrick Sherwood. He also gave honorable mentions to Jon Welner and Angela McInerney, and
Town Council Minutes#xx-2017 DRAFT June 21, 2017 Page 7
reiterated that it had been a difficult choice.
Mayor Fraser said a total of six applicants had been brought forward by the three members of the
Council.He said one candidate,Holli Thier,had the immediate support of all three councilmembers.
MOTION: To appoint Holli Thier to an interim position on the Tiburon Town Council,to serve until
the date of a special election on November 7, 2017
Moved: Fredericks, seconded by Fraser
VOTE: AYES: Fraser, Fredericks, O'Donnell
ABSENT: Two Vacant Seats
The Council discussed the attributes of the remaining applicants.
MOTION: To appoint David Kulik to an interim position on the Tiburon Town Council, to serve
until the date of a special election on November 7, 2017

RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference—September 13— 15, Sacramento
The League's 2017 Annual Conference is scheduled for September 13 — 15 in Sacramento. An

REPORT
To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council
From: Greg Chanis,Town Manager
Michael Cronin,Police Chief
Subject: Auto ated License Plate Reader System Policy Updates
Reviewed By: '
BACKGROUND
In 2009, the Town Council approved the acquisition of an Automated License Plate Reader
System (ALPRS) to be operated and managed by the Police Department as a crime prevention
and investigative tool. The system functioned as expected and has proven to be a valuable
investigative tool. It is credited with making a significant contribution to the subsequent drop
(roughly 50%) in the local crime rate. Widespread awareness of Tiburon's use of the system, a
result of the extensive publicity surrounding one of the first examples of such use, is believed to
have had a substantial deterrent effect.
Recently, the system experienced significant damage, and on June 20, 2017, Town Council
approved the purchase of a new ALPRS provided by Vigilant Solutions. The Vigilant system is
similar to our current system but has some additional capabilities that are significant.
Our current ALPRS identifies license plates with high reliability and searches state and federal
data bases for "wanted" vehicles. In addition to that capability, the Vigilant system can also
determine make and color of vehicles (which is sometimes all we have to go on), and can search
Vigilant's own `private' data base of millions of vehicles, identifying those vehicles which may
be associated with crimes in other jurisdictions.
Of special importance is the fact that Vigilant is the largest ALPRS provider in the Bay Area, and
the only other provider to law enforcement agencies in Marin County. This is important because
Vigilant has the largest collection of local `private' data in the communities where perpetrators of
crimes in Tiburon are most likely to come from.
Vigilant's unique database allows us a high probability of seeing where a particular vehicle has
been. That is important because even when we have a license plate, it doesn't necessarily lead us
to the perpetrator's home. Criminals often use unreported stolen cars or cars rented under
fraudulent circumstances, making it impossible to locate them. This makes Vigilant's unique data
base a significant addition to our investigative ability.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
When the Town Council approved the initial ALPRS in 2009, several policy issues were also
discussed, resulting in a policy which imposed a 30-day limit on the retention of data collected by
the ALPRS, as well as certain restrictions on sharing ALPRS data with anyone outside the
Tiburon Police Department. In order to fully utilize the additional capabilities of the Vigilant
system, staff recommends the Council consider revisions to the current policy.
Our current system stores data on a server located at the Tiburon Police Department, whereas the
Vigilant system would store data on an offsite server maintained by Vigilant. This provides for
the capability to share ALPRS data with other law enforcement agencies using the Vigilant
system. This means the search for a particular license plate by another agency, either in a
criminal investigation, or possible national security investigation, would reveal whether that
vehicle had been recorded entering or leaving Tiburon. The proposed changes to the current
policy acknowledge that data will now be stored on a vendor maintained server,and provides for
ongoing sharing of data with other law enforcement agencies, subject to the authorization of the
Chief of Police or the Police Captain.
Extending or eliminating the current 30-day storage time restriction for data is also important to
consider. In many instances, crimes don't come to light, or vehicles associated with crimes aren't
known, for months or even years. When they do become known, perhaps by another agency, we
would know if they have ever visited Tiburon. Staff is recommending Council consider extending
the time data is stored from 30 days to 2 years.
Attached to this report as Exhibit 1 is a redline version of the relevant policy which incorporates
the proposed changes. We have also provided a clean copy of the revised policy attached as
Exhibit 2.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the Tiburon Town Council:
1. Consider approval of the recommended changes to previously established ALPRS policy with
regard to data retention and access.

Prepared by: Greg Chanis,Town Manager
378. AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READER SYSTEM. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Periodically the Town of Tiburon experiences patterns of criminal activity perpetrated by
non-resident criminals. Most of this crime has involved theft from vehicle, burglary and
auto theft. The Police Department staff has determined that deployment of a fixed
Automated License Plate Reader System (ALPRS) would be a desirable and cost
effective investigative tool for suppression of these crimes. The Town Council has
concluded that such a system will enhance public safety in the Town of Tiburon.
It is the intent of the Town Council to:
1. Ensure that ALPRS is capable of effectively and efficiently achieving its articulated
purpose.
2. Ensure that the design, scope and capabilities of the ALPRS minimize its
negative impact on privacy.
3. Ensure that the decisions to employ ALPRS, including system design and cost, are
made through an open and publicly accountable process.
4. Create technological and administrative safeguards to reduce the potential for
misuse and abuse of the system.

STAFF REPORT
To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council
From: Department of Public Works
Subject: Recommendation to Reject all Bids for the 2017 Pavement Repair Project
and Direct Staff to Start Design on the 20 8 jor Paving Project
Reviewed By: Greg Chanis,Town Manager
BACKGROUND
The 2017 Pavement Repair Project (Project) would repair failed pavement in various roads in
Tiburon. The Project was included in the 2017/18 Capital Improvement Plan as Large Pothole
Repair Project and was funded based on a preliminary pre-design estimate, for $300,000 from the
Street Impact Fund.
The Project was designed in-house. The engineer's construction estimate based on previous
construction of this type $240,000. Bids for the project were opened on June 22, 2017.
The Town received the following two bids:
Greentech Industries, Inc. $277,745.00
Paving Construction Services $355,289.50
ANALYSIS
The apparent lowest bidder, Greentech Industries, Inc. did not include a bid bond within their bid
package. In addition, Greentech Industries, Inc. does not appear to have the requisite experience
in this type of paving work. They listed no road work in their references. They have been a
contractor for a number of years but have only had a Class A license for four months. Based on
this, the Town finds the low bid contractor non-responsive.
The second low bidder is well above the engineer's estimate. Currently, Caltrans is reporting
bids coming in at 20% above estimate for larger projects. The same is happening to local
municipalities even as we have tried to anticipate the higher prices.
A recent study done for Novato stated that when there are only two or three bidders on a project
the low bid will be 10%to 25% above a professional estimator's estimate. When there is only
one bidder that bid will be 25%to 100% higher than a professional estimator's estimate. That is
what has happened here. With two bids the low bidder is 15% over the estimate and with one
bidder the bid is 48% over the estimate.
TOWN OFT.iBURON PAGEI OF2
I L,1y'r, 017
A couple years ago, Staff stated it was better to do very large pavement projects every two years
to save on soft costs and to attract more bidders. Staff also stated that it was better to put projects
out to bid early in the year when the bidding climate is generally more favorable. The bid results
from this project clearly show why those recommendations were sound.
This project was designed by staff to fill a gap in paving projects. Staff had recommended
delaying the summer 2018 paving project to summer 2019 due to potential traffic and laydown
area conflicts with other projects, including two neighborhood undergrounding projects. It now
appears that this paving project could be done early in the summer of 2018 without interfering
with these projects. Therefore, staff recommends rejecting all bids and using the money from this
project to design the large paving project originally planned for construction in 2018.
This large paving project includes paving the following streets (preliminary list, subject to
revision):
Street Name From To PCI
APOLLO ROAD MERCURY MERCURY 55

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The 2017 Pavement Repair Project was included in the 2017/18 Capital Improvement Plan as
Large Pothole Repair Project and was funded at $300,000 from the Street Impact Fund.
Staff believes that the design of the large paving project previously planned for construction in
2018 will cost well under the current amount budgeted for the Pothole repair project.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Reject all bids for the 2017 Pavement Repair Project
2. Direct Staff to begin design of the 2018 Major Paving project, currently included in
the CIP for FY2018/19.
