directly into Richardson Bay.
Town Manager Kleinert reported that Belvedere had cleaned the silt basin in the past for a
cost of approximately $3,000 but that the Town ofTiburon had agreed to share this year's
cost.
Councilmember Thompson said next time the cost should be split three ways, between
both cities and the Lagoon property owners. He also said the latter had acknowledged
that future diversion of the channel would be their responsibility.
Councilmember Hennessy reported on a seminar she and Chief of Police Herley had attended at
the Hoover Institute on pragmatic solutions to the urban drug problem. She said former
