Fredericks) to approve resolution in support of Marin County Measure A (Town Manager
Curran)
Town Council Minutes #xx -2012 October 17, 2012 Page 2
Town Manager Curran said that a discussion of Measure A had been placed on the agenda at the
request of the Town's Legislative Action Committee, comprised of Councilmembers Collins and
Fredericks.
Curran introduced by Linda Dahl, Director and General Manager of the Marin County Parks and
Open Space District, who made a presentation in support of Measure A.
Ms. Dahl described the history of open space acquisition in the County and how it had been
curtailed somewhat in the years following the passage of Proposition 13. Nevertheless, she said
the County had over 20,000 acres of parks and open space in its portfolio. She said that the
maintenance of infrastructure in some locations had fallen victim to budget cuts and were in need
of repair. She said that Measure A would raise $10 million over 9 years through a half cent
increase to the sales tax to be used for these purposes.
Ms. Dahl also said that the Board of Supervisors had been determined that some of the funds
raised by Measure A would be directly available for use by cities. She said that while there would
be an oversight committee in charge of the fund allocations, the Supervisors had purposely left it
up to the cities to determine how to use the funds that came under their purview.
Councilmember Collins asked whether the $15 million portion earmarked for cities might be
used to acquire new parks. Ms. Dahl said that the Supervisors wanted to leave the actual
decision-making over funds allocation up to the cities. Collins commented that he wished the
sales tax increase was higher in order to make a bigger impact upon the acquisition of open
space. Collins also asked whether the annual amount might accrue to the cities over time.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell asked whether funds might be used to maintain and upgrade city park
facilities. He also asked whether they might be used for beautification and upgrade of the
medians on Highway 131 (Tiburon Boulevard). Ms. Dahl said that the ballot measure intended
that that the funds be used specifically for "parks and recreation" uses.
Mayor Fraser opened the item to public comment.
Jerry Riessen, Vistazo West, said he was working with Ms. Dahl on the passage of Measure A.
He said he had his doubts about whether enough money could be raised to acquire new open
space but said that the issue of maintenance of existing lands was real and critical. He cited his
experience in fighting invasive species on Town open space.
George Landau, Sugarloaf, said he was a regular hiker in the open space areas in Town and he
said he, too, supported Measure A because it would make more funding available to maintain the
Old St. Hilary Open Space, and other areas.
Mayor Fraser closed the item to public comment.
Town Council Minutes #.xx -2012 October 17, 2012 Page 3
Councilmember Fredericks said that the Town was surrounded by contiguous open space areas.
Fredericks said that passage of the measure would directly benefit residents through the ability to
better maintain theses areas for recreational uses, as well as maintain their safety. She urged
support of Measure A.
Councilmember Doyle said that when he was growing up, no one thought ahead about the
preservation of open space. He said the areas that were once were farms and orchards were now
developed land. He said that he, too, would support the measure for the local benefits, as well as
the benefit of future generations.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell concurred; he said that he had already endorsed the measure personally
and would vote for the Council's support for the reasons stated by Councilmember Fredericks.
Mayor Fraser also agreed. He said that the Town had a line item in its budget for Parks & Open
Space, and that the funds would be well used in the community. He also said that the Town was
blessed with an abundance of open space but that it should not be taken for granted.
MOTION: To adopt the resolution in support of Measure A.
Moved: O'Donnell, seconded by Fredericks
Vote: AYES: Unanimous
The Town Manager also asked for Council feedback, per the staff report, on the idea of whether
to agendize a discussion of a Town policy governing support of ballot measures and other
political initiatives.
Councilmember Fredericks noted that the Council had an informal' policy in place that guided it.
She said the policy had been limited to initiatives that directly affected the ability of the Town to
provide services.
Councilmember Collins noted that on occasion he received requests from other cities or groups
to endorse ballot measures or initiatives. He said that a "general boundary" would be helpful in
determining which measures were appropriate to bring to the Council. He suggested that the
matter might be placed on an agenda in the New Year.
Councilmember Fredericks agreed that individual council members were often approached for
their endorsement of ballot measures or initiatives. She said that bringing an item to the Council
required staff time to do research and provide an objective analysis.,
Councilmember Fredericks said that the MCCMC Legislative Committee had a policy that she
could provide the Town Manager to use as an example.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell said he favored a policy whereby each Councilmember was free to
support any matter it chose to, however, he agreed that the Council as a whole should strive to
entertain only the matters that directly affected the Town.
Town Council Minutes #xa -2012 October 17, 2012 Page 4
Mayor Fraser said that he thought this informal policy had worked well for past Councils and did
not see a need for a formal, written policy.
Matter continued to 2013.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Cypress Hollow Precise Development Plan Amendment - Consider application to
amend the Cypress Hollow Precise Development Plan to increase the maximum floor
area at 110 Rancho Drive (Planning Manager Watrous)
Applicant: John-Peter Curcio
Address: 110 Rancho Drive
AP No. 034-393-01
Planning Manager Watrous said the application was for a proposed amendment to the Cypress
Hollow Precise Development Plan for the property located at 110 Rancho Drive. He said the
applicant wished to increase the maximum floor area permitted for this lot, which is currently
developed with a single-family home.
Watrous said the Cypress Hollow Precise Development Plan currently limits each parcel to a
maximum floor area of 30.0% of the lot size. He said the applicant proposed amending the text
of the precise plan to allow a floor area ratio of 31.5% for this property.
The Planning Manager noted that the single-family residence on this property was originally
constructed with a floor area of 2,678 square feet (29.6% floor area). He said a previous property
owner converted one garage space within an existing three-car garage into a 176 square foot
office on the second floor of the house. The office increased the floor area of the house to 2,854
square feet, resulting in an as-built floor area ratio of 31.5%. As the resulting floor area ratio is in
excess of the 30.0% maximum floor area permitted for this property, the current property owner
wishes to legalize this as-built addition and requests to amend the Cypress Hollow Precise
Development Plan to increase the maximum permitted floor area for this property to 31.5%.
Watrous also said that the Town Council had generally supported amendments to the Cypress
Hollow Precise Development Plan if the amendment was under the Floor Area Ratio for a house
this size. He said the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this application at its
September 12, 2012 meeting and at that meeting, the Commission determined that the requested
amendment was consistent with the intent of the Cypress Hollow Precise Development Plan and
the Tiburon General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and adopted Resolution No. 2012-14
recommending approval of the amendment to the Town Council.
Mayor Fraser opened the hearing to the applicant.
Town Council Minutes #xx -2012 October 17, 2012 Page 5
John-Peter Curcio, owner of 110 Rancho Drive, said that he wanted to do things "the right way"
which had led him to make this application to the Town. He offered to answer any questions.
Council had some questions for staff. Vice Mayor O'Donnell noted that other addresses were
listed in the resolution, as well. Planning Manager Watrous said that the resolution added this
property to the existing list of properties in Cypress Hollow that had received precise plan
amendment approvals by the Council.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell asked whether the approval of the current application might trigger the
surrounding neighbors to seek similar approvals.
Planning Manager Watrous said that they would have to go through the Town's approval process
if they sought to make similar changes to their properties. He said that some had wanted to
"bump out" their existing footprint but that the crawl space [at 110 Rancho Drive] was already
within the existing building footprint and that had not created an issue in the neighborhood.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell said that when he served on the Design Review Board, the Board had
approved applications for amendments for increased FARs within the "cut" of a house.
Mayor Fraser asked if there was a sense of how many more property owners might seek
amendments. Planning Manager Watrous thought it would be low number.
Planning Manager Watrous noted that past Councils had chosen to review each application on a
case by case basis; he said that if the Council wished, it might look holistically at the range of
amendments in the subdivision.
Mayor Fraser opened the public hearing. There was no public comment. Mayor Fraser closed the
public hearing.
MOTION: To adopt the resolution amending the Precise Development Plan, as written.
Moved: O'Donnell, seconded by Collins
Vote: AYES: Unanimous
2. Amendment to Chapter 13D of the Town Code - Introduction and first reading of an
ordinance amending Title IV, Chapter 13D regarding Flood Damage Prevention (Director
of Community Development Anderson)
Director of Community Development Anderson said that the Town of Tiburon is a member of
the National Flood Insurance Program, which membership enables property owners to secure
flood insurance through federal insurance programs and provides other benefits and protections.
He said there were currently has 107 federal flood insurance policies in effect, in Tiburon, for a
total coverage of $35 million.
Town Council Minutes #xx -2012 October 17, 2012 Page 6
Anderson said the State Department of Water Resources (SDWR), in conjunction with the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), periodically reviews the flood damage
prevention-related ordinances of cities and counties to ensure conformity with the latest state and
federal regulations. He said the Town received its most recent review in June 2012, and that the
findings were set forth in a letter from the SDWR dated August 30, 2012 (Exhibit 1 of the staff
report). Among the findings, according to Anderson, is direction to revise the Town's flood
damage regulations to remain compliant with current provisions of Title 44 of the Code of
Federal Regulations.
Director Anderson said the proposed amendments had been provided in a red-lined version of the
ordinance for the Council, along with a map of the affected areas. He recommended that the
Council hold a public hearing and move to read the ordinance by title only, and pass first reading.
Councilmember Collins asked whether there was a map of the "coastal high hazard areas."
Anderson said that these areas are mapped on the community's Flood Insurance Rate Maps.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell asked whether any of the affected zones were changed or expanded.
Anderson said that the latest federal flood maps, which became effective in 2009, had added
most of downtown Tiburon to the flood hazard zone, but that the properties in the coastal high
hazard zone had previously been mapped as Zone A-1-Tidal and the primary change was in
nomenclature (changing the term "A-1-Tidal" to "Coastal High Hazard Zone").
Vice Mayor O'Donnell asked whether there would be higher insurance premiums or any other
effects to property owners as a result of these changes. Anderson said that the changes proposed
to the ordinance should not affect the insurance premiums or impose new or more stringent
standards than already exist on properties within the special flood hazardd zones; however, he
stressed the importance of keeping the Town's regulations up to date to maintain membership in
the flood insurance program.
Mayor Fraser opened the public hearing. There was no public comment. Mayor Fraser closed the
public hearing.
MOTION: To read the ordinance by title only.
Moved: Fredericks, seconded by Collins
Vote: AYES: Unanimous
Mayor Fraser read, "An ordinance of the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon amending Title
IV, Chapter 3D regarding flood damage prevention."
MOTION: To pass first reading of the above ordinance.
Moved: Collins, seconded by Fredericks
Vote: AYES: Collins, Fredericks, Doyle, O'Donnell, Fraser
NAYES: None

TOWN COUNCIL REPORTS
Mayor Fraser said that he had attended the first meeting of the Building Code Appeals Board. He
said the meeting was primarily informational and included the election of a Chair (David
Kallmeyer) and Vice Chair (Mark Swanson). He said that he had ratified these appointments [as
Mayor] pursuant to the resolution creating the Board.
On another topic, Vice Mayor O'Donnell said that he would like to see the CART committee
continue its work. He said that the death of a young bicyclist in Novato had underscored for him
the need to find safe passage across Tiburon Boulevard for the majority of Tiburon's
neighborhoods to the multi-use path. He said this might include tunnels, overpasses, or other
creative and perhaps costly solutions; nevertheless, he encouraged the group to continue looking
for solutions to this problem.
Town Manager Curran said that the mayors of both cities, along with the Police Chief and city
managers had planned a follow-up meeting after the public presentation of the CART report. She
said they planned to discuss the next steps in the process and would report on this meeting to the
Council in future.

H. Title IV, Chapter 13D, Article 111, Section 13D-20 of the Tiburon Municipal Code is
amended to read as follows:
13D-20 Floodways and Coastal High Hazard Areas.
(a) Floodways. Located within areas of special flood hazard established in Section
13D-4 are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely
hazardous area due to the velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential
projectiles, and erosion potential, the following provisions apply.
(1) Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial
improvement, and other new development unless certification by a registered
professional engineer or architect is provided demonstrating that encroachments
shall not result in any increase in the base flood elevation during the occurrence
of the base flood discharge.
(2) If Section 13D-20(a)(1) is satisfied, all new construction, substantial
improvement, and other proposed new development shall comply with all other
applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Article III of this chapter.
(b) Coastal High Hazard Areas. Within coastal high hazard areas, Zones V, VI -30,
and VE, as established under Section 13D-4, the following standards shall apply:
(1) All new residential and non-residential construction, including substantial
improvement/damage, shall be elevated on adequately anchored pilings or
columns and securely anchored to such pilings or columns so that the bottom of
the lowest horizontal structural member of the lowest floor (excluding the pilings
or columns) is elevated to or above the base flood level. The pile or column
foundation and structure attached thereto is anchored to resist flotation, collapse,
and lateral movement due to the effects of wind and water loads acting
simultaneously on all building components. Water loading values shall be those
associated with the base flood. Wind loading values used shall be those required
by applicable state or local building standards.
(2) All new construction and other development shall be located on the landward
side of the reach of mean high tide, unless it complies with all standards of the
Flood Resistant Construction provisions as set forth in the current California
Building Code and/or the current California Residential Code for construction in
coastal high hazard areas.
(3) All new construction and substantial improvement shall have the space below
the lowest floor free of obstructions or constructed with breakaway walls as
defined in Section 13D-2 of this chapter. Such enclosed space shall not be used
for human habitation and will be usable solely for,parking of vehicles, building
access or storage.
(4) Fill shall not be used for structural support of buildings.
(5) Man-made alteration of sand dunes which would increase potential flood
damage is prohibited.
(6) The floodplain administrator shall obtain and maintain the following records:
a. Certification by a registered engineer or architect that a proposed structure
complies with Section 1313-20; and
b. The elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of the bottom of the lowest
Town of Tiburon Ordinance No. XXX N.S. Effective -4-42012 DRAFT Page 6
horizontal structural member of the lowest floor (excluding pilings or columns)
of all new and substantially improved structures, and whether such structures
contain a basement.
1. Title IV, Chapter 13D, Article IV, Section 13D-22(e) of the Tiburon Municipal Code is
amended to read as follows:
(e) Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice
over the signature of a community official that:
(1) The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the base flood level
will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance up to amounts as high
as $25 for $100 of insurance coverage, and
(2) Such construction below the base flood level increases risks to life and
property. It is recommended that a copy of the notice shall be recorded by the
floodplain administrator in the office of the Marin County Recorder and shall be
recorded in a manner so that it appears in the chain of title of the affected parcel
of land.
Section 3. Severability.
If any section, subsection, clause, sentence, or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason
held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of a Court of competent jurisdiction, such
decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the Ordinance. The Town
Council of the Town of Tiburon hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, any
section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases may be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
Section 4. Effective Date.
This Ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days after the date of passage,
and before the expiration of fifteen (15) days after passage by the Town Council, a copy of the

Recommendation to Adopt a "Complete Streets" Policy as Necessary to
Maintain Eligibility for One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) monies---Resolution
In order to continue to qualify for One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) monies, cities and counties are
required by January 31, 2013 to have two components in place: 1) a state-certified housing
element; and 2) a Complete Streets policy either in the General Plan Circulation Element or
adopted by separate resolution of the Town Council. The Town has a state-certified housing
element but does not have the Complete Streets component in place at this time. Adoption of the
proposed Resolution (Exhibit 1) would satisfy the OBAG requirements and ensure the Town's
continuing eligibility for OBAG funds.
The Town's Circulation Element is scheduled for a substantial update in 2013-14, at which time
Complete Street policies must be incorporated, but there is no possibility of the element update
being completed by January 2013. State law (Complete Streets Act of 2008) currently requires
that Complete Streets policies be included in a general plan circulation element at the next
substantial circulation element update occurring after January 1, 2011. The Complete Streets
resolution would serve the interim purpose of maintaining the Town's eligibility for OBAG
monies until such time as the Complete Streets policies are incorporated in the Town's
Circulation Element.
ANALYSIS
One Bay Area Grant Program
The One Bay Area Grant program is a new funding approach for federal transportation grants that
better integrates the region's federal transportation program with California's climate law (Senate
Bill 375, Steinberg, 2008) and the Sustainable Communities Strategy. However, it may prove to
be more limiting for communities such as Tiburon for some of the reasons described below.
Funding distribution to the counties will encourage land-use and housing policies that support the
production of housing with supportive transportation investments. This is accomplished through
the following policies:
TOWN OF TIBURON PAGE 1 OF 3
• Using transportation dollars to reward jurisdictions that accept housing allocations through
the Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) process and produce housing.
• Supporting the Sustainable Communities Strategy for the Bay Area by promoting
transportation investments in Priority Development Areas (PDAs).
• Providing a higher proportion of funding to local agencies and additional investment
flexibility by eliminating required program targets. The OBAG program allows investments
in transportation categories such as Transportation for Livable Communities, bicycle and
pedestrian improvements, local streets and roads preservation, and planning and outreach
activities, while also providing targeted funding opportunities for Safe Routes to School
(SR2S) and Priority Conservation Areas.
OBAG is funded primarily from three federal fund sources: STP (Surface Transportation
Program), CMAQ (Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program) and TE
(Transportation Enhancement Program). The local matching fund percentage for these grants is
typically 11.5 percent. While the Town does not routinely receive federal grants, we have been
successful in garnering approximately $450,000 in federal grants within the past five years in the
form of American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) stimulus funds and Safe Routes to
School (SR2S) monies. The latest OBAG funding cycle, Cycle 2 for FY 2012-13 through FY
2015-16, provides some opportunities for the Town in the form of TAM-supported revision of the
Town's Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, potential pavement management program support
through MTC's Pavement Management Technical Assistance Program (P-TAP), and potential
Safe Routes to School and bicycle/pedestrian capital project funding support. However, the Town
has typically not relied on federal grants for two main reasons:
• The Town would not generally rank well in competitive grants given our relatively low level
of significance within the regional transportation network.
• Federal grants have many front and back-end reviews and requirements that often increase the
complexity and cost of projects, rendering our typically smaller projects highly inefficient.
Compliance Items
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) has distributed materials that provide the
basic components (Exhibit 2) of an adequate complete streets policy acceptable for OBAG
funding purposes. The nine (9) required elements that must be addressed in the policy are:
1) Serve all "users" (defined as bicyclists, children persons with disabilities, motorists,
movers of commercial goods, pedestrians, users of public transportation, and seniors)
2) Context sensitivity
3) Inter-department and outside agency coordination
4) Application to all roadway projects and phases
5) Consistency with adopted bicycle, pedestrian and transportation plans
6) Street Network/Connectivity
7) Consultation with the local Bicycle-Pedestrian Advisory Committee
8) Ongoing evaluation and data collection
~ SfS4
S i.. v i. - x
9) Exception process to be created requiring written findings
These elements are described in additional detail in attached Exhibit 2.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The adoption of a Complete Streets policy will have a range of financial and resource impacts to
the Town's capital projects. Since Complete Streets policy implementation is still rather nascent
and varies greatly within Marin County, the impacts are not quite clear countywide.
For example, the Public Works Department currently practices a version of "Complete Streets,"
as defined in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, by evaluating each significant Town capital
project to determine if existing pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and accessible facilities within a
project site can be enhanced. The Complete Streets policy would require somewhat more. By
adopting the Complete Streets policy, the Town will need to provide additional stages of project
review (inter-department, POST) and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Complete
Streets Policy, including the making of written findings when accommodations for all modes are
not included in the project. Implementing the policy will likely add staff time, increase capital
project costs, and create additional review and processing steps for capital project items involving
streets, but appears necessary to comply with the Complete Streets Act of 2008.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council move to approve the Resolution adopting a Complete
Streets policy.

RESOLUTION NO. XX-2012
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON
ADOPTING A COMPLETE STREETS POLICY
WHEREAS, the term "Complete Streets" describes a comprehensive, integrated
transportation network with infrastructure and design that allows safe and convenient travel
along and across streets for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, persons with disabilities,
motorists, movers of commercial goods, users and operators of public transportation, seniors,
children, youth, and families, among others; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Tiburon acknowledges the benefits and value for the public
health and welfare of reducing vehicle miles traveled and increasing transportation by walking,
bicycling, and public transportation; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Tiburon recognizes that the planning and coordinated
development of Complete Streets infrastructure provides benefits for local governments in the
areas of public health and environmental sustainability; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has emphasized the importance of Complete Streets
by enacting the California Complete Streets Act of 2008 (also known as AB 1358), which
requires that when cities or counties revise general plans, they identify how they will provide for
the mobility needs of all users of the roadways, as well as through Deputy Directive 64, in which
the California Department of Transportation explained that it "views all transportation
improvements as opportunities to improve safety, access, and mobility for all travelers in
California and recognizes bicycle, pedestrian, and transit modes as integral elements of the
transportation system"; and
WHEREAS, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (known as AB 32)
sets a mandate for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in California, and the Sustainable
Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 (known as SB 375) requires emissions
reductions through coordinated regional planning that integrates transportation, housing, and
land-use policy, and achieving the goals of these laws will require significant increases in travel
by public transit, bicycling, and walking; and
WHEREAS, numerous California counties, cities, and agencies have adopted Complete
Streets policies and legislation in order to further the health, safety, welfare, economic vitality,
and environmental well-being of their communities; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Tiburon, in light of the foregoing benefits and considerations,
wishes to improve its commitment to Complete Streets and desires that its streets form a
comprehensive and integrated transportation network promoting safe, equitable, and convenient
travel for all users while preserving flexibility, recognizing community context, and using the
latest and best design guidelines and standards.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon
as follows:
1. That the Town of Tiburon adopts the Complete Streets Policy attached hereto as
Exhibit A, and made part of this Resolution, and that said exhibit is hereby approved and
adopted.
2. That the next substantial revision of the Town of Tiburon General Plan Circulation
Element shall incorporate Complete Streets policies and principles consistent with the California
Complete Streets Act of 2008 (AB 1358) and with the Complete Streets Policy adopted by this
resolution.

COMPLETE STREETS POLICY OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON
A. Complete Streets Principles
1. Complete Streets Serving All Users. The Town of Tiburon expresses its commitment to
creating and maintaining Complete Streets when and where feasible that provide safe,
comfortable, and convenient travel along and across streets (including streets, roads,
highways, bridges, and other portions of the transportation system) through a
comprehensive, integrated transportation network that serves all categories of users,
including pedestrians, bicyclists, persons with disabilities, motorists, movers of
commercial goods, users and operators of public transportation, seniors, children, youth,
and families.
2. Context Sensitivity. In planning and implementing street projects, the Town of Tiburon
shall maintain sensitivity to local conditions in both residential and business districts as
well as urban, suburban, and rural areas, and shall consider input from residents,
merchants, and other stakeholders to ensure that a strong sense of place ensues.
Improvements that will be considered include sidewalks, shared use paths, bicycle lanes,
bicycle routes, paved shoulders, street trees and landscaping, planting strips, accessible
curb ramps, crosswalks, refuge islands, pedestrian signals, signs, street furniture, bicycle
parking facilities, public transportation stops and facilities, transit priority signalization,
and other features assisting in the provision of safe travel for all users, such as traffic
calming circles, transit bulb outs, way-finding signs and traffic channelization.
3. Complete Streets Routinely Addressed by All Departments. All relevant departments of
the Town of Tiburon shall work towards making Complete Streets practices a routine part
of everyday operations, approach every relevant project, program, and practice as an
opportunity to improve streets and the transportation network for all categories of users,
and work in coordination with other departments, agencies, and jurisdictions to maximize
opportunities for Complete Streets, connectivity, and cooperation. The following
projects provide opportunities: pavement resurfacing, re-striping, accessing above and
underground utilities, signalization operations or modifications, and maintenance of
landscaping/related features.
4. All Projects and Phases. Complete Streets infrastructure sufficient to enable reasonably
safe travel along and across the right of way for each category of users shall be
considered in all planning, funding, design, approval, and implementation processes for
any construction, reconstruction, retrofit, maintenance, operations, alteration, or repair of
streets (including streets, roads, highways, bridges, and other portions of the
transportation system), except that specific infrastructure for a given category of users
may be excluded if an exemption is approved via the process set forth in section C.1 of
this policy.
B. Implementation
1. Plan Consultation and Consistency. Maintenance, planning, and design of projects
affecting the transportation system shall be consistent with local bicycle, pedestrian,
transit, multimodal, and other relevant plans, except that where such consistency cannot
be achieved without negative consequences, consistency shall not be required if the head
of the relevant department provides written approval explaining the basis of such
deviation. At the discretion of the Town Manager, such deviations shall be presented to
the Parks, Open Space & Trails (POST) Commission, which acts as the Bicycle and
Pedestrian Advisory Committee for the Town, early in the planning and design stage, to
ensure the Commission has an opportunity to provide comments and recommendations.
2. Street Network/Connectivity. As feasible, the Town of Tiburon shall incorporate
Complete Streets infrastructure into existing streets to improve the safety and
convenience of users and to create employment, with the particular goal of creating a
connected network of facilities accommodating each category of users, and increasing
connectivity across jurisdictional boundaries and for existing and anticipated future areas
of travel origination or destination.
3. Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee Consultation. At the discretion of the Town
Manager, transportation projects maybe referred for review by the Bicycle and
Pedestrian Advisory Committee early in the planning and design stage, to provide the
Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee an opportunity to provide comments and
recommendations regarding Complete Streets features to be incorporated into the project.
4. Evaluation. As feasible, departments shall perform evaluations of how well the streets
and transportation network of the Town of Tiburon are serving each category of users by
collecting baseline data and collecting follow-up data on a regular basis.
C. Exemptions
1. Leadership Approval for Exemptions. Projects that seek Complete Streets exemptions
must provide written findings as to why accommodations for all modes were not included
in the project, and shall be signed off by the Public Works Director or Town Manager.
Projects that are granted exceptions must be made publicly available for review. Federal
guidance on exceptions can be found from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)

BACKGROUND
The Mayor has requested that the Town council consider adoption of a resolution supporting
alcopop-free zones and encouraging retailers to adopt voluntary restrictions on the sales and
marketing of alcopops. Alcopops are youth-oriented flavored malt beverages that are packaged
and marketed to encourage underage youth to drink them. The Marin County Board of
Supervisors adopted a similar resolution on May 8, 2012, and staff has prepared a draft resolution
based on the County resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact associated with this resolution as compliance would be voluntary and
not require enforcement.

SUPPORTING ALCOPOP-FREE ZONES
AND ENCOURAGING RETAILERS TO ADOPT VOLUNTARY RESTRICTIONS
ON THE SALES AND MARKETING OF ALCOPOPS
WHEREAS, the Town of Tiburon acknowledges the epidemic of underage drinking kills
more youth than all other drugs combined; and
WHEREAS, alcohol is the number one drug of choice among America's youth; and
WHEREAS, alcopops, for the purposes of this resolution, are defined as youth-oriented
flavored malt beverages (as described under 27 C.F.R. Section 25.55); and
WHEREAS, alcopops are packaged and marketed in a way that encourages underage
youth to drink them and increases the likelihood that underage youth, their families and the
community will suffer from the consequences of underage drinking; and
WHEREAS, alcopops are often fruity, bubbly, high in sugar, brightly colored, brightly
packaged, and with youthful and sexually connotated names, backed up by trendy and social
media-oriented sales campaigns; and
WHEREAS, inexperienced drinkers are particularly sensitive to alcoholic beverages
containing high alcohol contents and may be unaware of the alcohol content due to flavorings
and sweeteners; and
WHEREAS, many of the newer alcopops are supersized, that is they are single servings
of malt beverage in cans containing the equivalent of four to five standard drink sizes (with 23.5
or 24 ounces of liquid and 8% to 12% alcohol), which is enough alcohol to cause dangerous
inebriation and possible poisoning if consumed by underage youth; and
WHEREAS, alcopops appeal to underage drinkers with about one-third of teenage girls
ages 12 to 18 one one-fifth of teenage boys having tried an alcopops beverage; and
WHEREAS, the low cost of alcopops and supersized single serving malt beverages make
them appeal to underage persons; and
WHEREAS, retailers may voluntarily enter into agreements with youth and community
leaders to participate in zones where alcopops are not bought, stocked, sold or marketed; and
WHEREAS, alcopops are a minimal percentage of retailer alcohol sales but a huge
percentage of underage consumption.

Recommendation to Approve Budget Amendment - Purchase and Installation
of Replacement Computer Servers at Town Hall and Police Department
The Town Hall and Police Department file and e-mail servers were scheduled to be replaced last
fiscal year, and $26,000 was appropriated in the Technology Outlay budget to purchase the
hardware and related licenses. The replacements were postponed last year; however, the
appropriation was not carried over in the current's year budget. The Police Department file
server was last replaced in 2006, and the Town Hall server in 2008. These servers have an
estimated useful life of 5-6 years and are depreciated accordingly.
To take advantage of newer and more diverse technologies, supplement limited staff resources,
and to enhance the Town's ability to recover data in the event of a disaster, the Information
Technology Coordinator recommends consulting with Marin IT, the primary networking
contractor for the County of Marin and its local agencies and special districts, on portions of the
server upgrade project.
As part of this project, the Information Technology Coordinator also recommends the
implementation of a cloud-based backup system hosted by Asigra. Additionally, the Town will
re-purpose a decommissioned server for use as a secondary, onsite backup system.
The Town has a long running and successful working relationship with Marin IT. They were a
valuable asset during license plate reader (LPR) system deployment in 2010, and have been
consulted on numerous other projects. Staff is seeking a budget amendment in an amount not to
exceed $40,000 for this project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The requested $40,000 would be expended from the Technology Fund and would leave the fund
with approximately $370,000 in resources at the end of the fiscal year. The Technology Fund
receives revenues from the Operating Department's depreciation budget and fees charged when a
building permit is issued.

Recommendation to Approve Fee Waiver for Sanitary District No. 5 Project
1
Sanitary District No. 5 is conducting a major renovation project at its 2001 Paradise Drive
facility. The portions of the project that directly involve the District's wastewater treatment
equipment are exempt from the Town's Building Code. However, the project includes
construction in the office and reception areas, bathroom, public entrances and other non-exempt
components. The District has asked the Town to waive the permit and inspection fees that would
normally be associated with the non-exempt portions of the project.
ANALYSIS
The Town Council's policy regarding fee waiver requests is set forth in Resolution No. 31-2001,
attached. Pursuant to its policy, the Council should consider three factors in considering the
District's request:
1. Whether the applicant is a governmental agency, a charitable non-profit organization,
a private individual or a for-profit organization. A private individual or for-profit
entity shall not be eligible for a fee waiver unless substantially all of the benefit of the
project will accrue to a charitable, non-profit organization.
2. If the applicant is a non-profit entity with the power to impose dues or fees, or
otherwise has the power to raise revenue to fund the project from project beneficiaries,
the extent to which the project will benefit residents of the Town of Tiburon that are
not subject to such power. For example, if the applicant has dues paying members,
the Council will consider waiving fees only to the extent that the project will benefit
non-member residents in the Town of Tiburon.
3. The extent to which the project will benefit the general public of the Town of Tiburon.
The District is a governmental agency and is therefore eligible for a waiver under the first criteria.
The project clearly satisfies the third criteria, as the District's operations are vital to the Town
residents.
TOWN OF TIBURON PAGE 1 OF 2
The application of the third criteria is slightly less clear. At first blush, the District would appear
to have the ability to raise fees to fund the project. However, However, the District's 2010 rate
plan has already raised rates very significantly, from $478 per year a single family home or
dwelling unit to $598 in 2010, to $717 in 2011, to $825 in 2012. The rates are scheduled to rise
again to $923 in 2013 and to $1,034 in 2014. Given these already-planned adjustments, staff
does not believe that another rate increase to fund the Town's permit and inspection fees is
practical.'
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Building Division fee levels are calculated to recover the cost of Building Division services.
Building Official Fred Lustenberger estimates that absent a wavier, the permit fees and inspection
costs would total $7589.00. We cannot pass these costs on to other permittees, so the Town
would ultimately bear the expense.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
1. Approve a waiver of 100% of the fees that the Town would otherwise charge the
District for permit and inspections for its project.

RESOLUTION NO. 31-2001
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON
ESTABLISHING A POLICY TO GOVERN THE PARTIAL
AND TOTAL WAIVER OF TOWN FEES
WHEREAS, the Town of Tiburon assesses fees upon project applicants for the purpose of
recovering the administrative and processing costs of such project applications; and
WHEREAS, Section 3.01.08 of the Town's Zoning Ordinance provides that the Town
Council may waive any fees required under the Ordinance for any public, quasi-public body, district
or agency of the Federal, State, County or Municipal government; and;
WHEREAS, such fees are set by resolution of the Town Council, the current resolution being
Resolution No. 11-2001; and
WHEREAS, on March 17, 1999, the Council adopted Resolution No. 3323, establishing a
policy governing applications for fee waivers; and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that the relocation of overhead electric and communication
lines to underground conduits serves the public interest and wishes to promote undergrounding
projects by absorbing the project costs associated with Town permits; and
WHEREAS, the Council therefore intends to amend the Town's Fee Waiver Policy to extend
to undergrounding projects.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon as follows:
1. Resolution No. 3323 is hereby repealed and replaced by this Resolution.
2. The Town shall waive fees for projects to relocate overhead electric and communication lines
to underground conduits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a project involves
work that is not directly associated with the undergrounding of public utilities, Town fees
shall be assessed against those portions of the project that Town staff finds are not directly
associated with the undergrounding portion of the project. Work considered not directly
related to the undergrounding portion of the project shall include, without limitation, work to
improve individual electric services.
3. With respect to all other projects, any public, quasi-public body, district or agency of the
Federal, State, County or Municipal government may apply for a total or partial waiver of
Town fees as set forth in this Resolution.
C: Documents and Settings Wcranelocal Settings lTemporary Internet FilesDLK28Tee Waiver policy 2001.doc
4. In considering a fee waiver application, the Council will consider the following factors:
A. Whether the applicant is a governmental agency, a charitable non-profit organization,
a private individual or a for profit organization. A private individual or for-profit
entity shall not be eligible for a fee waiver unless substantially all of the benefit of the
project will accrue to a charitable, non-profit organization.
B. If the applicant is a non-profit entity with the power to impose dues or fees, or
otherwise has the power to raise revenue to fund the project from project
beneficiaries, the extent to which the project will benefit residents of the Town of
Tiburon that are not subject to such power. For example, if the applicant has dues
paying members, the Council will consider waiving fees only to the extent that the
project will benefit non-member residents in the Town of Tiburon.
C. The extent to which the project will benefit the general public of the Town of
Tiburon.
5. If the Council finds the applicant is eligible under Section 4.A of this Resolution, and does
not have the power to fund the project's costs by raising revenue from the project's
beneficiaries, the Council may grant a waiver of up to 100% of the otherwise-applicable fees.
The Council shall determine the amount of the waiver granted based on the percentage of
project benefit that will be realized by the general public of the Town of Tiburon.
6. If the Council finds the applicant is eligible under Section 43 of this Resolution, the Council
shall determine the amount of the waiver based on the percentage of project benefit that will
be realized by those residents of the Town that are not subject to the applicant's revenue-
raising powers. In no event shall the waiver exceed 50% of the otherwise-applicable fees.
7. This resolution shall only apply to fees imposed pursuant to the Schedule of Fees adopted by
the Town Council to recover the Town's internal processing and administrative costs. The
project applicant shall remain responsible for paying the cost of any outside consultants or
other costs incurred by the Town in connection with the processing of the project application.
Such outside costs include, without limitation, the cost of retaining plan-checkers and
environmental consultants.

Subject: Appointments to fill a vacancies on Town Boards and Commissions
(Library Agency Board of Trustees)
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
The Belvedere-Tiburon Library Agency was initially formed under a joint powers agreement
between the Town of Tiburon and the City of Belvedere in 1995. The Library Agency is
governed by a Board of Trustees consisting of three residents from the City of Belvedere and
three residents from the Town of Tiburon, along with a representative appointed by the Reed
Union School District Board of Trustees. There is currently a vacancy for a Tiburon appointee.
The service of each trustee is limited to two, three-year terms, pursuant to the Library Agency by-
laws. The second term of Tiburon appointee Lois Epstein concluded in June of this year and her
seat has been vacant since that time. The Town Clerk advertised the pending vacancy earlier in
the year and received two applications to fill the position; however, the interviews and
appointment were postponed until after the Library's Design Review application hearings were
concluded.
The Town then re-opened the application period to allow for any other interested residents to
apply. The Town Clerk re-ran a notice in the Ark newspaper for three subsequent weeks, as well
as posted the notice of vacancy at Town Hall and the Belvedere-Tiburon Library. As of October
311 2012 (closing date), the Town had received a total of three applications.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
1. Conduct interviews of the three applicants and consider making an appointments to fill
the vacancy on the Library Agency Board of Trustees; or
2. Direct staff to continue the matter to a future Town Council Agenda.
