A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF TIBURON EXPRESSING APPRECIATION
TO TIlE CITIZENS OF THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS ON TIlE WESTERN
SIDE OF TIlE TIBURON PENINSUlA FOR THEIR EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE
ANNEXA TION TO THE CITY OF TIBURON
WHEREAS: The Tiburon Peninsula is an identifiable geographic whole; and
WHEREAS: Those areas which are outside the present City limits have,
nevertheless, always been within the incorporated City's sphere of interest; and
WHEREAS: Development of remaining open land and the increasing need for
municipal services in these unincorporated areas has greatly accelerated in the
past few years; and
WHEREAS: There are many citizens in the unincorporated areas who believe
that control of development and the provision of municipal services can best be
provided by the smaller local unit of government that is the City of Tiburon; and
WHEREAS: Faith in this concept impelled many to work diligently toward the
end that an election be held to determine the future direction of these unincor-
porated areas; and
WHEREAS: Such effort resulted in an election and the opportunity for all
to speak via the electoral process on October 19, 1971.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
The City Council of the City of Tiburon, while regretting that annexation
was not approved, expresses to all who participated in this process its deepest

City of Tiburon now reiterates its determination to continue, in every way it is
