WHEREAS, Jim Wood and his wife Nikki left Southern California and moved to Marin
Tiburon in 2002, whereupon they discovered they were not quite ready for "retirement" after all;
WHEREAS, Jim and Nikki founded Marin Magazine in 2005 which became a success
almost immediately; a quality publication that included Jim's thought - provoking articles about
life in Marin, along with beautiful photographs and stories that would help frame Marin's
identity for those of us who live here, while enticing those who don't to come here;
WHEREAS, in 2011 the Woods sold Marin Magazine but Jim had already turned his
attention to other endeavors, asking himself what he could do to improve the quality of life in
Tiburon;
WHEREAS, after learning that Tiburon had no jurisdiction over Highway 131's upkeep,
Jim applied for and received a Caltrans Adopt -A- Highway designation and called for volunteers
to join him in helping to keep Tiburon Boulevard between Trestle Glen Boulevard and Rock Hill
Road clean and weed -free; and
WHEREAS, "Peninsula Pride" was formed, and along with some paid staff, the team has
continued to meet every Saturday morning during the summer months for which hard work they
are rewarded with lunch donated by Shark's Deli; and
WHEREAS, in March of this year Jim joined forces with Janice Anderson -Gram to form
the "Green Team ", sponsoring a class through Belvedere - Tiburon Recreation which focuses on
cleanup of the Old Rail Trail, downtown planters and other landscaped areas around town;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Town Council hereby commends Jim Wood upon his well -
deserved selection as 2013 Business Citizen of the Year, and expresses its sincere appreciation to
Jim for his selfless service which contributes so much to the Town of Tiburon and the Tiburon
