Both outgoing Mayor Jim Fraser and I commented on what a grand idea you had, how well executed it was, and in particular, your generosity both to the merchants and to the community as a whole. We loved the idea of a Santa Claus for the children (and the terrific gifts!) and the beautification of downtown through window decorations. Please accept my sincere thanks again on behalf of the Town for your many contributions and ongoing support of our downtown community. The Tiburon Peninsula is indeed fortunate to be the beneficiary of your generosity and community spirit. Happy Holidays!

To ensure the Town is in compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations, DWR requested in the community action section of the CAV report that Town update the community's floodplain management ordinance and provide a draft copy to this office by November 30, 2012. On November 15, 2012, in response to DWR's request, your Town representative provided DWR with a certified copy of the revised floodplain management ordinance, which meets the minimum intent of the NFIP. The CAV and associated follow up are intended to help the community's compliance with floodplain management regulations. They are not intended to be a comprehensive examination of the Town's implementation of the NFIP. It is the responsibility of the local community to read, understand, and implement NFIP requirements specified in Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations. We appreciate the actions taken by Mr. Scott Anderson, Community Development Department Director, regarding the Town's implementation of the NFIP and the efforts conducted to minimize flood exposure in the incorporated area. This letter concludes DWR's participation in this CAV. If you have any questions or require further information regarding NFIP, please contact Mr. Ray Lee at (916) 376-9638.

MAPIN GENERAL HOSPITAL December 7, 2012 Dear friends, In July of 2010 operational responsibility of Marin's only full-service acute-care hospital was returned to the Marin Healthcare District. Despite the predictions, Marin General Hospital has not only survived, but is thriving. Two years later, the community can be confident about the future of their community hospital. Our newly expanded emergency department is now open. We have an electronic medical record system that saves time and allows physicians and nurses to access patients' medical information in real time. We're about to open the new Braden Outpatient Diabetes Center, a comprehensive program that provides patients with prevention strategies and self-management of the disease, and we added advanced electrophysiology diagnostic systems and devices to the comprehensive cardiovascular services available at the Haynes Cardiovascular Institute. Another achievement we're especially pleased about is the "A" Hospital Safety Scores" we recently received from the Leapfrog Group, a leading industry ratings agency which calculates patient injuries, medical and medication errors, and infections among U.S. hospitals and assigns them a grade from A to F. So yes, the hospital is thriving, and I am confident that with the expertise of our physicians, nurses and staff and the support of the community, we will continue to thrive. Our focus remains the same to modernize our facility, improve the level of care, and maintain Marin General Hospital as a center of medical excellence for the citizens of Marin. A discussion about health care and hospitals today, however, wouldn't be complete without including health care reform and the expected implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2014. Sharing with you how the ACA will impact Marin General Hospital as well as you, the health care consumer is the impetus behind this first in a series of CEO reports I plan to share with the community on a regular basis. In the time since the ACA was first signed in 2010, work has already started in the states to develop programs, including the establishment of health care exchanges, which will meet the requirements of the ACA in 2014. The Supreme Court decision in May and the election in November provided needed clarity on the important issue of mandated health care insurance, which has enabled more forward movement. In spite of the increased clarity, uncertainties remain about some of the specific regulations. The controversies and uncertainties of health care reform should not, and I believe will not, deter us from creating the kind of health care delivery system of the future that will allow more people in our country, to get the right care at the right time, delivered in the most efficient way possible and providing them with the kind of patient experience they deserve. www.rnarIngeneraLorg MAPIN GENERAL HOSPITAL t All of the details of how we will accomplish this are not known at this time, but we do know that hospitals across the country, including Marin General, are already making great strides toward this goal. For example, hospitals are making use of information technology to not only deliver safer patient care, but also to provide data that can help us standardize and streamline care to help control costs. We are moving toward patient-centered care, or the "medical home," a model of care in which prevention, access to primary care, and chronic disease management play a major part in reducing costly hospital admissions and bringing down re-admission rates. Hospitals are creating closer relationships with physicians and community care partners for better coordination of patient care. We are on that path as well at Marin General Hospital. Over the past two years, we have worked hard to strengthen our relationships with local physicians and to recruit new physicians to the community, ensuring that the residents of Marin County-those who already have and those who will have health insurance coverage-will have access to high quality care right here where they live. We have also appointed Vice President of Nursing Services, Goni Naidoo and Chief Information & Technology Integration Officer, Mark Zielazinski, to our executive team. As we make critically important decisions about how best to meet the challenges of the Affordable Care Act, Mark's expertise and experience will be invaluable. With healthcare reform, the quality of nursing will continue to be critically important and Goni will lead our effort to strengthen an already excellent nursing staff. Marin General Hospital is an essential community health resource offering Marin County's only designated trauma center, cardiac and neurological surgery programs, labor and delivery services, and comprehensive cancer care center. It is also the place you turn to and trust for health care for you and your family. That is why I want to keep you informed about our hospital and how healthcare reform will impact the community. The Affordable Care Act is the most significant change in healthcare since the creation of Medicare. The next year promises changes for the entire health care industry, but ultimately the effort should prove worthwhile and beneficial. We look forward to working with our physicians, nurses and community leaders to implement the ACA in a way that brings the greatest benefits to the citizens of Marin.

ASSOCIATION OF BAY AREA GOVERNMENTS Representing City and County Governments of the San Francisco Bay Area j ABAG DEC EMO PLANNING DIVISION Date: December 4, 2012 To: City Managers and Planning/Community Development Directors From: Miriam Chion, ABAG Interim Planning & Research Director Subject: SCS / RHNA Revised Schedule As you know, ABAG is currently working on developing the San Francisco Bay Area's Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) for the 2014-2022 period. On July 19, 2012, the ABAG Executive Board adopted the Final RHNA Methodology and released draft allocations to local jurisdictions. This action initiated a 60-day period in which a local government could request a revision to its housing allocation. ABAG received 14 revision requests by the September 20 deadline, but none of these were adopted. Those jurisdictions that submitted a request for a revision now have the opportunity to appeal ABAG's decision regarding their revision request. With the passage of SB 375, the RHNA must be coordinated with development of the Bay Area's Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) and Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The anticipated adoption dates for these documents has changed from April 2013 to June 2013. As a result of this change, we have revised the schedule for completing the remaining milestones for the RHNA process (see reverse). Key dates for the RHNA process going forward are: • Deadline for Local Appeals to Draft Allocation: February 18, 2013 • Public Hearing on Local Appeals: Between Mar. 30- Apr. 4, 2013 (Specific date TBD) • Executive Board Consideration of Appeals Committee Recommendations: May 16, 2013 • ABAG Issues Final RHNA: June 3, 2013 • Public Hearing and Adoption of Final RHNA Allocation: July 18, 2013 • Local Governments Adopt Housing Element Revision: Dec. 2014 Of particular interest to local governments is the change in the Housing Element due date from October 2014 to December 20141. We look forward to working with you as we move forward on the SCS/RTP and final RHNA. If you have any questions regarding the schedule of future RHNA milestones, please contact Gillian Adams, Regional Planner, at 510-464-7911 or GillianAgabag.ca. ov. 1 Deadline is 18 months after adoption of the RTP. GC §65588(e) 2014-2022 RHNA / SCS Schedule This schedule aligns the milestones for the RHNA with those of the SCS/RTP. The dates for each milestone take statutory requirements for public comment, local government response, etc. into account.
