Curran being implemented by the Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary, in conjunction Town Manager with the Marin County Department of Parks and Open Space. As a local government official representing the Town of Tiburon, I value our natural resources and feel that it is critical we do our best to ensure that our protected areas provide the best possible habitat for wildlife while protecting our valuable coastlines. I fully support using settlement monies from the Cosco Busan oil spill to fund the current plan to remove non-native plants, increase cover of native plants, and expand seasonal wetlands and tidal marsh that will ultimately improve habitat for resident and migratory birds. Urban and industrial development around the entire San Francisco Bay, and the Marin coastline in particular, have greatly limited habitat for native birds and wildlife. Enhancing habitat within Richardson Bay is critical for the large numbers of water birds that visit the site each year, earning Richardson Bay the designation of an "Important Bird Area". The Aramburu Island Project is an important step in creating the types of habitat that were once common on Richardson Bay more than a century ago. In addition, the Aramburu Island Project will reduce the rate of erosion on the eastern side of Aramburu Island that currently contributes to increased sedimentation in Richardson Bay. By firming up the eastern shoreline, this project will mitigate the effects of sea level rise. The following goals of the project are directly aligned with the goals of the DARP: • Habitat improvements at Aramburu Island _ • Creation and improvement of bird roosting habitat • Oyster bed restoration at multiple sites around the Bay • Recreational use improvements, via a new kayak picnic ar--a on the island /0 Additionally, Aramburu Island is a logical choice for this funding, as more than 100 oil- covered water birds were found on Aramburu Island in the days after the Cosco Busan spi It should also be known that Richardson Bay Audubon Center and Marin County have done an excellent job keeping the community informed throughout the Aramburu Island Project, and I have been provided ample opportunity to learn more about this project, and to provide input when appropriate. They have held four public meetings during which they answered questions and addressed many concerns. Audubon also posts work days and opportunities to assist with the project on their website to fully engage the community. Audubon's track record of collaborative restoration and research projects around the Bay confirms that they are taking this project seriously, and that they will be thoughtful and thorough in its execution. Nationally recognized organizations such as Point Reyes Bird Observatory (PRBO) Conservation Science, San Francisco State University (SFSU), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) repeatedly partner with Audubon, which indicates that they are a valuable and reputable partner. In fact, Audubon successfully restored tidal marsh habitat in San Pablo Bay in partnership with the San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge. In conclusion, I support the work of Richardson Bay Audubon Center and Marin County, and believe that this project will greatly benefit wildlife, habitats, and the people of San Francisco Bay, and will contribute to a healthier Bay. Richardson Bay Audubon is a leader in environmental stewardship and habitat restoration in the Bay Area. Audubon continues to ensure the protection of the Bay, from which we will all benefit. I am happy to see Cosco Busan Settlement funds support this project. Sincerely, Margaret Curran Town Manager Town of Tiburon C: Brooke Langson, Director Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary TOWN OF TIBURON 1505 Tiburon Boulevard r Tiburon, CA 94920 h' !tj Date: October 19, 2011 To: Mayor and Town Council From: Peggy Curran, Town Manager DIGEST Oq a I Subject: Letter from Tiburon Peninsula Foundation regarding Improvements to the Railroad Trestle Berm and Surrounding Area at Blackie's Pasture Earlier this year the Tiburon Peninsula Foundation received a $25,000 grant from the Rocky Fund to make improvements to the old railroad berm in Blackie's Pasture. The goal was to allow the berm to reemerge as a visible historic landmark and to generally re-contour and beautify the surrounding area, which has been seriously degraded over the years with debris, overgrown foliage and other alterations to the topography. The TPF and Landmarks Society also plan, eventually, to install appropriate plaques denoting the historic significance of these features. The attached letter describes efforts to date of the TPF, which has been coordinating closely with staff to achieve its goals. The letter also requests that the Town make a financial contribution to the project, which has grown somewhat in size due to unanticipated site conditions beyond the control of TPF. The Town Council approved $15,000 in the current budget for work in Blackie's Pasture specifically anticipating that some ancillary work to the TPF effort might be needed and worthwhile, especially related to beautifying the frontage. Regarding the specific request, staff has spoken with Arlene Nielsen, who has been leading the TPF effort, and concluded that the TPF should fund the work mentioned in the letter because it being conducted under a private contract to which the Town is not a party, but that the Town could then step in with its funds and cover some of the beautification effort the grant would otherwise have available to fund. This is consistent with the original intention of those funds and does not require any Council action to accommodate. Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns regarding this plan. Thank you. M I SW RECEIVED OCT 1 2011 TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE TOWN OF TIBURON Tiburon October 19, 2011 Peninsula Foundation Ms. Peggy Curran P Box 210 O Tiburon Town Manager . . Belvedere-Tiburon 1505 Tiburon Blvd. , CA 94920 Tiburon, CA 94920 Re: Tiburon Peninsula Foundation's project to clear, clean THE BOARD and landscape Blackie's Berm and surrounding area. Sonja Bohannon Dear Peggy, Leslie Doyle Nancy George At your request, I am writing this letter to inform you and the David Holscher Council of the progress we have made clearing and cleaning Art Kern Blackie's Berm and its surroundings. Elizabeth Kilgore Ed Lynch First, I must say how much we appreciate the guidance, support Arlene Nielsen and cooperation we have received from you, Scott Anderson, Nick Steve Sears Nguyen and Joel Brewer. Thank you. Jeff Smith Petey Stein When we cleared and cleaned the brush around the front and the east side of the berm, we discovered the ugly mess that is now so visible. It was obvious that the cutting of the "road" and the loads of debris that had been dumped in the area over the years had altered the original topography. EMERITUS When we met on October 4t' with you, Nick and Scott, Ed Lynch Mogens Bach reported that we had contacted Rob Poole, a local excavating Piper Berger contractor, who thought it would take a day or possibly two with Robin Daly one piece of equipment to smooth and contour the area with three George Gnoss very clear objectives: Barbara Mathew Jim Mitchell 1) Proper drainage, correcting the changes that have affected the Sylvia Ross now, Larry Smith 2) Ease of maintainability by allowing for tractor mowing in the Gary Spratling future, and 3) A pleasing appearance. www.tiburonpeninsulafoundation.org Site Meeting with Contractor and Town Staff Monday we met with Joel Brewer and Rob Poole. at the site. Joel brought us the map Nick had prepared for the drainage that included the addition of riprap at the mouth of the culver. Rob agrees with you, Peggy, that the ugly stumps, old pipes, cement debris... should be removed from the site. With this added information and a more careful analysis of the terrain, Rob made the following recommendations: 1) To efficiently pick up and remove the objectionable debris, he would need an excavator, in addition to a bulldozer. He would cart away the debris in his dump truck. 2) He would contour the area and level the mounds according to Nick's instructions for proper drainage and would include the placing of riprap at the mouth of the culver. 3) He recommended that once the equipment is in place, we remove the remaining broom along the side of the road and in the "valley" between the road and the berm. 4) He advises that we cover the area with rye grass and straw to winterize the bare dirt. In his opinion rye grass germinates very quickly, is attractive and acts as herbicide preventing broom re-growth. Desirable Improvements in Surrounding Area It became clear to all us that with a few extra hours we could also address some peripheral problem areas: the small and unsightly mound left by PG&E by the highway that is now being used by kids for a dangerous bicycle jump, clearing the other side of the culver channel and placing riprap there also, smoothing the area on the sides of the path parallel to the berm so that area too can be more easily mowed and maintained. Joel approved and, with your permission, we would be happy to include these in the job. Joel Brewer said he would be available to supervise all the excavating, smoothing and contouring work and, with your approval, we are prepared to undertake it. Rockey Grant Funds The grant the TPF received from the Rockey Fund for the "beautification of Blackie's Pasture and Berm" was $25,000. So far we have expended less than $10,000. We have been able to do miracles with this amount thanks to many hours of volunteer work including clearing the top and the west side of the berm and the engineering analysis of the topographical changes. Mill Valley Refuse contributed two debris boxes. TPF Request to Town of Tiburon [Just last night we received the proposal from Rob Poole that includes 3 days of work starting today. We have accepted it.] We would like to request from the Town of Tiburon help in paying the dump fees to dispose of the debris that Rob Pool estimates will be around $4,000. Also, help in buying the straw we would like to use to properly winterize the exposed dirt and the purchase of the appropriate seed mix to beautify the area and discourage undesirable plants. Unfortunately, we have not had time to price these items. Future Plans TPF hopes to have the Berm and surrounding area clean, cleared and properly sculpted so that our partners, Landmarks and the Master Gardeners, can proceed with their plans. Landmarks: The Berm and trestle remains have historical importance for our community. Dave Gotz, Landmarks Archivist, has already spent many hours of volunteer time pulling broom and cutting weeds from the top of the berm. They already have plans and a fabulous picture for a beautiful historical plaque at the tip of the berm. TPF plans to work with them installing it. Master Gardeners: For many years, the Town of Tiburon, the City of Belvedere, the Belvedere Community Foundation and the Tiburon Peninsula Foundation, in collaboration, have supported Harvey Rogers and Blackie's Garden, a jewel of a garden. We hope we can build a similar network in the years to come to enable them to create a beautiful, natural and maintainable landscape at the major entrance to our Peninsula. We appreciate that you and the Council have had faith in us by allowing us to proceed with this project in a "discovery mode," planning as we go along. We hope we have reassured you that we have been careful, prudent and resourceful and that we have always kept you fully informed and involved in our plans. S' cerely, lene Nielsen President TOWN OF TIBURON DIGEST 1505 Tiburon Boulevard Tiburon, CA 94920 MEMORANDUM Date: October 18, 2011 To: Mayor and Town Council From: Peggy Curran, Town Manager Michael Cronin, Chief of Police Subject: Letter of Support for MERA Antenna at Easton Point (Martha Company Property) Attached is a draft letter, for the Mayor's signature, regarding.a proposed MERA antenna on the Martha property. It is consistent with, and essentially reaffirms, the comment letter the Town sent to the County on April 26, 2011 during the Draft Environmental Impact Report process. In the coming months, the County Board of Supervisors will take action regarding certification of the Martha project EIR. The attached letter was prepared at the urging of the staff of the County Public Works Department, MERA (a joint powers authority) and the Tiburon Fire District, all of which wish to see the Town confirm its support for inclusion of this important public safety enhancement as a mitigation measure in the EIR. Unless the Town Council elects to direct staff otherwise at the next Town Council meeting (when this week's Digest will be listed on the agenda), staff will seek the Mayor's signature and dispatch the letter. Thank you.

On April 26, 2011, the Tiburon Town Council approved comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Easton Point (Martha Company) Project. In paragraph 18 on page 5 of its letter to the County, the Town stated its concern over the lack of public safety radio (MERA) coverage as excerpted below: 18. to provide adequate public safety protection on-site, public safety personnel on the site must be able to communicate with related off-site persons. This continuum of communication is critical for rapid and effective response and deployment in the event of fire or other emergency. The general area of the project site is not well-covered by MERA and the project will introduce a considerable number of new persons and structures into that area. Accordingly, the Final EIR should include a mitigation measure that would improve MERA coverage for the entire area. Any new communication facility should be located adjacent to planned or existing water tanks to minimize their visual impact.

Curran Town Manager HoIN ARE IFEV K r,4sEY, Lu' -u R R MERA COVEPAGE. PAGE 11 -2 Tiburon Police Chief Michael Cronin and Tiburon Fire District Chief Richard Pearce have stated their unequivocal belief that a new MERA antenna is essential for effective public safety communications in and around the project area and is an indispensable element in the protection of the public and our police officers and fire fighters. In that this project will soon be before the Board of Supervisors for final determination, I wish to reiterate the Town's sentiments as set forth in its letter of last April and express support for the construction of a MERA antenna and related structures adjacent to the proposed MMWD water tank. Thank you for your consideration.

Volker to Scott Anderson, Town of Tiburon, dated October 5, 2011 Regarding Comments of Alan and Janice Fenster on Belvedere-Tiburon Library Expansion Project and Environmental Impact Report As requested, I reviewed the above letter from Stephan V. Volker, attorney for Alan and Janice Fenster, regarding the proposed library expansion project and adequacy of the Environmental Impact Report (DEIR). My memo to you of 7 September 2011 provides a detailed review of the conclusions in the EIR with regard to potential impacts on biological resources, the adequacy of proposed setback distances, recommendations from the Railroad Marsh Management Plan, and conformance with the Tiburon General Plan, together with my conclusions over the significance of the potential impacts of the proposed project. As I stated in that memo, in my opinion the EIR is overly conservative regarding the significance of potential impacts of the library expansion project on biological resources, particularly the remote potential for occurrence of special-status species and the relationship of the setback zone to nearby Railroad Marsh. Both the proposed library expansion protect and Alternative D, recommended as the environmentally superior alternative in the EIR, include provisions that would prevent any direct or indirect impacts on wetlands and essential habitat for special-status species, and would serve to enhance the habitat values of nearby Railroad Marsh. These enhancements include installation of barrier fencing to prevent access by dogs into the marsh as well as installation of native tree, shrub, and groundcover plantings that would greatly increase the habitat value of the poor quality non-native grasslands that separate Railroad Marsh from the existing library. Contrary to the assertion by Mr. Volker, the EIR provides an overly conservative assessment of the potential impacts of the project on biological resources, including exhaustive mitigation measures that are designed to ensure no inadvertent take of California red-legged frog and other sensitive resources. Mr. Volker incorrectly assumes that because Mitigation Measure BIO- 2a includes provisions to excavate burrows within the limits of grading to confirm absence of any California red-legged frogs on the site, that this must mean that frogs are present. There is no evidence that frogs occupy the site, or even nearby Railroad Marsh at this point. But because some amphibians are known to retreat into burrows of gophers and other ground dwelling animals, the EIR biologist recommended a very conservative method to make sure no frogs were present. This is a standard measure for ground dwelling species such as adult California tiger salamander, but is rarely applied to California red-legged frog, and typically only when the water source is seasonal and there is no nearby surface water available, which is not the case at Railroad Marsh. Inspecting each burrow is a labor intensive procedure, but would ensure that in the remote instance a frog was present in Railroad Marsh, dispersed onto the site, and sought refuge in an existing burrow, that it would not be destroyed during grading and construction, but would be relocated to the marsh. Keeping the excavated burrows open after inspection ensures that any dispersing frog does not return to the burrow before construction proceeds. Installation of the frog barrier fencing and preconstruction surveys by a qualified biologist would serve to confirm that no frogs remain within the limits of proposed construction. The intent of the mitigation measure is not an "announced intention to take this species" as suggested by Mr. Volker, but ensure that an inadvertent take is avoided in the remote instance that a frog disperses onto the site, as unlikely as that may be. Similarly, the provision in Mitigation Measure BIO-2a that all work stop and the USFWS and CDFG be consulted in the remote instance a California red-legged frog is encountered is not a deferral of mitigation. These agency must be consulted if a listed species such as California red- legged frog is encountered on any site. Because this species is not suspected to occur on the site, no provisions for compensatory mitigation have been defined in Mitigation Measure BIO-2a. The focus of the provisions of this measure are to ensure no inadvertent take occurs in the remote instance that an individual frog would for some reason disperse from the secure cover provided by Railroad Marsh and enter the exposed conditions of the site immediately in advance of initiating construction. Again this is highly unlikely to occur, but the measure defines an adequate procedure for how to address this scenario and acknowledges that the resource agencies could have additional requirements they would impose on the project if an individual frog is encountered. My memo of 7 September 2011 provides a detailed review of the adequacy of the proposed setback distances from Railroad Marsh, which have been confirmed by the EIR biologist as well, and I won't address Mr. Volker's comments regarding General Plan Policy OSC-20 and the Railroad Marsh Management Plan again in this memo. I trust this provides you with useful information regarding this matter. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the above. 2 STATE OF CALIFORNIA -BUSINFSS TRANSPORTATION AND HOUSING AGENCY EDMUND C BROWN JR Governor DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION OF HOUSING POLICY DEVELOPMENT - 1800 Third Street, Suite 430 ' P.

The Department is required to review draft housing elements and report the findings to the locality pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(b). The review was facilitated by communications with you. In addition, we considered comments from Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California pursuant to Section 65585(c). The revised draft element addresses the statutory requirements described in the Department's April 12, 2011 review. For example, the element now includes programs to assist the development of housing for extremely low-income households. As a result, the revised element will comply with State housing element law (Article 10.6 of the Government Code) when adopted and submitted to the Department, pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(g). To identify adequate sites to accommodate the Town's regional housing need for lower- income households, the element identifies the Reed School Site. However, the site has not yet been declared surplus and requires other actions such as school board approval prior to being available for development. As a result, the Town must monitor and report on the effectiveness of Program H-y to facilitate development on the Reed School Site through the annual progress report required pursuant to Government Code Section 65400. Should monitoring reveal the Reed School Site and strategies to encourage its use for housing are not effective in making the Site available for development in the planning period, the element must be amended to identify additional sites at appropriate densities and add or revise programs, as appropriate. For example, if meetings in 2011 indicate the Reed School Site will not be available or progress is not made by April 2012, the element should be immediately be amended to identify additional sites at appropriate densities and add or revise programs, as appropriate. Mr. Scott Anderson, Director Page 2 The Department appreciates your hard work and dedication in preparation of the housing element and looks forward to receiving Tiburon's adopted. housing element.
