adoption of resolution confirming assessments or abandoning proceedings (Office of the
Town Manager)
The Town Manager said the Council will hold a Public Hearing on this item tonight. He said the
Mayor will clearly indicate when the Public Hearing is closed,and only ballots received prior to the
closure of the Public Hearing will be counted.He said property owners may change their vote prior
to the end of the Public Hearing if they wish.
Chanis said the Town Council will recess for the vote tabulation,which will occur in the adjoining
conference room. He said the district engineer and staff will conduct the vote count, and bond
counsel and the Town Attorney will observe. He said that while this process is open to the public,
space is limited, and therefore, the vote count will be projected in real time on the screen in the
Council Chambers for everyone to follow along.

After the vote count is complete,the Council will reconvene and staff and bond counsel will report
the vote results. Chanis said the Council will then have the opportunity to deliberate prior to
adoption of the appropriate resolution based on the outcome of the vote.
Chanis reviewed a tentative timeline of the project if there is not a majority protest and the Council
proceeds with the project. He said staff would not anticipate starting construction until Spring or
Summer 2019, and briefly reviewed financing information for property owners. He also reminded
property owners of their responsibility to install the lateral connections before the poles are removed.
Mayor Fraser opened the Public Hearing.
Elena Stephens,Hawthorne Drive,spoke in support of the safety,reliability and aesthetic benefits of
the project.
Robert Chandler, Hilary Drive, spoke in opposition to the project and said he could not afford the
assessment, and would likely have to sell his home.
Richard Sideman, Mara Vista Court, spoke in support of the safety benefits of the project.
Diane Newman,Hawthorne Drive,said she was aware of several ballots getting lost in the mail and
expressed concern about votes not being received.
Barb Elliot, Hilary Drive, questioned why the district engineer's firm is involved with the ballot
tabulation and asked if it was a conflict of interest.
Park Allen, Hilary Drive, spoke in support of the project.
Mayor Fraser closed the Public Hearing,and asked staff to comment on the question raised about the
engineer conducting the vote count.
Chanis said the firm has done hundreds of similar projects, and has significant experience in
conducting a vote count like this one. He said staff will be involved in the vote count, and in
addition, the vote count will also be observed by bond counsel and the Town Attorney.
The Council went into recess for the vote tabulation at 6:25 p.m.
The Council reconvened at 7:30 p.m.

Moved: Fredericks, seconded by Thier
VOTE: AYES: Unanimous
AI-2. McKegney Field—Receive update on the McKegney Field Improvements Project and
authorize staff to put the project out to bid(Office of the Town Manager/Department of
Public Works)
Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Barnes summarized previous Town Council actions taken
on this project.He said the Council had agreed on a strategy to fund the$1.8 million field by sharing
the cost with private entities. Barnes said the local soccer and lacrosse clubs had come forward
willing to fundraise the required $400,000. The Town Council subcommittee recommended the
soccer club fundraise$300,000(and be allotted 75%of playtime on the field),and the lacrosse club
fundraise $100,000 (and be allotted 25% of playtime).
Barnes said the design is complete,the project is ready to bid,and the soccer club has guaranteed the
total fundraising amount. He recommended the Council authorize putting the project to bid.
Vice Mayor Kulik asked Barnes to clarify if the soccer club is guaranteeing the total $400,000
amount or only their $300,000 portion? Director Barnes said the soccer club has already raised
$300,000, and has guaranteed the total $400,000.
Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment.
John Porter, Southern Marin Lacrosse Club, expressed concern about the fundraising process and
said it was not clear how the lacrosse club would benefit from the proceedings as the club has not
been able to raise the agreed-upon $100,000.
Mattias Kodzoman, Tiburon Peninsula Soccer Club, said the soccer club could guarantee the
$400,000 fundraising and hoped the Council would approve proceeding with the project.
Mayor Fraser closed the floor.
Councilmember Fredericks said she supported putting the project to bid,but expressed concern about
the possibility that bids come in at a cost higher than the estimate.
Councilmember Welner inquired about the existing use policy. Director Barnes clarified that the
field is closed for league play during the winter months, and unless the field is reserved in advance
for sports, the field is open for play for anyone.
Fredericks inquired further if use of this field will be more constrained for maintenance purposes,
and if the field will be available for both sports and general use. Barnes explained the field is open
Town Council Minutes#03-2017 DRAFT February 7, 2018 Page 6
for use as long as it is not too wet to play on. He said the field is not used for sports purposes often
outside of league play, and the general use of the field does not cause as much wear on the field.
Director of Community Development Anderson clarified further that the existing use policy is a
permit process.For example,sports leagues are required to submit an application to reserve the field,
and define the days and hours it will be used. Anderson said the use policy was developed for a
different field, and suggested a review of the use policy prior to completion of the field.
Mayor Fraser suggested putting the use policy on a Parks, Open Space and Trails agenda and
consider an updated policy reflective of the investment in the field.
MOTION: To authorize staff to put the McKegney Green renovation project out to bid.
Moved: Thier, seconded by Fredericks
VOTE: AYES: Unanimous
AI-3. Bench Plaque Exemption — Consider exemption request for bench plaques on Town
property(Office of the Town Manager)
Town Manager Chanis said the Trestle Trail project is now nearing completion,and staff received a
request from the Trestle Trail organizing committee for exemption to a long standing Town practice
to not allow memorial benches. He said the Council had approved inclusion of 4 benches (without
plaques) in the original design. Chanis added that the Council had also approved memorial plaques
to be embedded in the timbers of Trestle Trail and a donor-dedicated sign at the site.
The Town Manager explained the Town's policy on memorial naming does not specifically address
memorial benches, but a standard letter issued upon inquiry by the Heritage & Arts Commission
does specifically indicate the Town does not permit memorial benches. He further clarified that
while there is no specific policy that prohibits memorial benches,it has been a long standing practice
for at least 20 years to not allow them. He said this request was first heard by the Heritage& Arts
Commission, which voted in favor of the exemption.
Jim Wood,Trestle Trail organizing committee, said the committee was requesting approval of four
memorial plaques on the backs of benches. He said they would be similar in appearance to the
plaques already approved by the Council. Mr. Wood believed the Trestle Trail donors qualify for
naming rights,as the standards are outlined in the existing Town policy.He further spoke in support
of the project memorializing Tiburon's railroad history.
Vice Mayor Kulik asked about the content of each plaque.Mr. Wood replied that the plaques could
have the donor's name and a quote to enrich the plaque, to be approved by the Town.
Councilmember Thier thanked Mr.Wood for his work and the work of the organizing committee on
the Trestle Trail project.
Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment. There was none.
Town Council Minutes#03-2017 DRAFT February 7, 2018 Page 7
Councilmember Fredericks believed the Town's practice to not allow memorial benches was
appropriate, and said historical practices are not always memorialized in policy. She said this
exception might not generate the same concern memorial benches in other areas would because the
Trestle Trail site is more isolated, but it may still generate the possibility of more requests for
memorial plaques.
Councilmember Thier spoke in support of the project and said the Town's policy does not preclude
memorial benches. She believed the request was in accordance with the policy,and the Trestle Trail
project was of great historical significance. She further believed the placement and confined area of
Trestle Trail made this request a limited circumstance, and reiterated the fact that the request was
approved by the Heritage & Arts Commission. She said she would support the request.
Vice Mayor Kulik agreed that this may be a unique situation given the isolated and concentrated area
of the Trestle Trail site,and said memorial plaques would be consistent with the rest of the project.
He believed the process of having a hearing and asking for an exemption to be important so as to
give proper attention to past practice, existing policy and precedent. He supported the proposal.
Councilmember Welner also believed the Trestle Trail site to be uniquely concentrated,and agreed
that memorial plaques would be consistent with the rest of the project. He said he could support the
proposal and believed this approval would not necessarily set a precedent for future memorial
benches or plaques.
Councilmember Fredericks said she had been persuaded by the rest of the Council to support the
proposal if the approval restricted the exception to the de facto policy to these proposed benches. She
urged the Council to revisit this policy in the near future.
Mayor Fraser questioned the general public's awareness of this opportunity and expressed concern
over how these select individuals were chosen for an opportunity that others might have liked to have
had too. He felt troubled by the lack of public awareness, and said he would abstain from the vote.
Mr.Wood said he shared the same concern,and said their team went to every effort they could to get
the word out, including local media.
MOTION: To approve the exemption request as it applies to only the proposed benches discussed.
Moved: Thier, seconded by Welner
VOTE: AYES: Fredericks, Kulik, Thier, Welner

AI-1. Town Audit Report - Recommendation to accept and file the Town's FY Basic
Financial Statements and Independent Auditor's Report (Director of Administrative
Services Bigall)
Town Council Minutes #04-2017 DRAFT February 21, 2018 Page 1
Director of Administrative Services Bigall introduced Ralph Marcello, of Marcello & Company
C.P.A.s, to give a brief presentation on the Fiscal Year 2016-17 audit report.
Mr. Marcello thanked the Council for the opportunity to perform the audit this year.He said Tiburon
suffers a common problem in smaller governments: limited segregation of duties in the accounting
department. He said the"tone at the top"is very important in smaller offices, and it is important for
management to set the example for employees and emphasize that fraud will not be tolerated.
Mr. Marcello also spoke briefly about changing standards that now require governments to report
their net unfunded pension liabilities. He said an actuarial report will be required to comply.
Mr.Marcello then offered a summary of his findings on the Town's funds.He said auditors compare
revenues and expenses over prior years and the trends over the long run. Over the prior year, Mr.
Marcello said the Town's general fund revenue, property tax revenue and sales tax revenue all
increased, and the transient occupancy tax decreased. To show long run trends, Mr. Marcello
compared the Town's 2017 revenue to the Town's 2011 revenue.He summarized a 35%increase in
general fund revenue over this time period.
Mr. Marcello then directed the Council, staff and the audience to review several of the Town's
financial statements included in the audit report. He spoke to the Town's total assets, including
infrastructure, and the Town's net pension liability. Mr. Marcello also commented that the Town
projected a deficit in this fiscal year's budget, but ultimately did not experience one.
Mr.Marcello concluded his report by summarizing a few of the Town's restricted reserve funds.He
said the Town commits to both an operating reserve fund, and a reserve for employee compensated
leave.He said the latter exists to ensure the Town could`pay out'all employees at once,if necessary.
Councilmember Fredericks asked Mr. Marcello to speak to deferred inflow of resources,and how it
relates to liability. Mr. Marcello explained the various factors that go into calculating deferred
inflows and outflows, such as actual investment returns,expected investment returns,and changes in
assumptions that affect the Town's liability. These amounts that are not recognized as expenses in
the current fiscal year are expensed over a five year period and will be displayed in the financial
statements as deferred inflow or outflow of resources.
Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment.
Ken Weil asked about the difference in cost in legal fees between fiscal years. Director Bigall
explained the Town's legal contract with a law firm,and how the hourly rate differs based on type of
work (general services, litigation, specialty work, etc.). Bigall attributed the higher cost of legal
services in 2016 to a larger litigation load that year.
Ken Weil asked for explanation of the Town's franchise fees. Director Bigall said the Town has
franchise agreements with Mill Valley Refuse,PG&E and Comcast. She explained the fees are based
on their gross receipts, and agreed with Mr. Weil that those fees are likely built into the customer's
Town Council Minutes #04-2017 DRAFT February21, 2018 Page 2
bill. Mr. Marcello added that the Town provides streets and infrastructure to these services.
Mayor Fraser closed the floor.

Company, C.P.A.'s.

AI-2. Rule 20A Credits — Consider authorizing Town Manager to execute agreement to
purchase Rule 20A credits from City of Rocklin (Office of the Town Manager)
Town Manager Chanis said staff is returning to the Council tonight with a proposed agreement to
purchase Pacific Gas and Electric Rule 20A credits from the City of Rocklin to complete an
undergrounding project.
The Town Manager said the Council had previously authorized staff to negotiate with other
jurisdictions to purchase their PG&E Rule 20A credits at an advantageous rate to complete a priority
undergrounding project along Tiburon Boulevard, between Lyford and Ned's Way.
Chanis said staff is asking the Council tonight to authorize the execution of an agreement with the
City of Rocklin to purchase $438,000 worth of Rule 20A credits for $109,000. He added that this
would not be enough to complete the project,but felt confident that staff would be able to purchase
enough in the next several weeks from other parties to proceed with the project next summer.
Councilmember Welner asked for clarification on the cost of the purchase. Chanis explained the
difference in final numbers,considering these credits will be purchased for$0.25/credit,rather than
the previously estimated $0.50/credit.
Mayor Fraser asked if the purchased Rule 20A credits will expire in any way. Chanis confirmed the
credits will not expire, and the Town will always be able to use them.
Councilmember Welner wondered what the market price is for Rule 20A credits and why the City of
Rocklin was willing to sell them. Chanis said the exchange of Rule 20A credits is unregulated, and
therefore, difficult to determine a true market price. He said staff has been able to review some
transactional history in California,and this is the lowest rate they have observed. Chanis added that
these credits are the remainder of credits Rocklin has,and the City intends to use the funds for a park
restoration project.
Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment. There was none.
MOTION: To authorize the Town Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the
City of Rocklin to purchase $438,000 of PG&E Rule 20A credits for$109,000.

'TOWN OF'TISURON PAGEI OF
v uch / ' i
The design for the 2018 Overlay Project was awarded to Coastland Engineering on August 16,
2017 in the amount of$107,820. The target construction budget for this project was $1.3 million
including contingency. To ensure sufficient funding the Blackfield road segment was designed as
an alternate bid item. In addition, curb ramps for the project were separated out into a separate
minor project to make the project more attractive to paving companies.
The project was put out for bid in January of 2018.
The engineer's construction estimate was $1,042.251 for the base cost and $77,903 for the bid
alternate, a total of$1,120,154, or $1,288,177 including a 15% contingency. With the curb ramp
project, this was slightly over the $1.3 million budget.
Bids for the project were opened on February 22, 2018.
The Town received the following three bids:
Ghilotti Brothers., Inc. $ 994,244.50
Maggiora Ghilotti $1,007,007.00
MCK Services Inc. $1,050,744.92
The Ghilotti Brothers bid for the alternate work on Blackfield Dr. was $93,027.75 for a total of
$1,087,272.25
ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the lowest bid submitted by Ghilotti Bros., Inc., and believes it to be a fair
price. The low base bid is under the engineer's base estimate by $48,006.00. The difference
between the low bidder and the third low bidder is about 6%.
Given the potential variability in the project, staff is recommending that an additional a 15%
contingency on the project.
With the base bid, alternate and contingency the total cost would be $1,250,363. This is under
the budget by nearly $50,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The 2018 Various Streets Overlay Project in not included in the 2017/18 budget however it is an
anticipated capital improvement project in the FY 2018/19. The project is anticipated to be
funded in the amount of$1,300,000.
The total cost of the project including 15% contingency is $1,250,363.09 which is $49,636.91
less than the anticipated project cost.
Since the project is not funded in the current fiscal year a budget amendment in the amount of
$1,250,363 is necessary to move forward with this project. The funding may need to be carried
over into the FY 2018/19.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
1. Authorize the budget amendment in the amount of$1,250,363
2. Authorize the Town Manager to approve the award of a contract for the 2018 Various
Streets Resurfacing Project to the Ghilotti Bros., in the amount of$1,087.272.25, with
total funding, including contingency, of$1,250,363.

Subject: Consider Acceptance of the Annual General Plan Implementation
Stat s Report for Calendar Year 2017
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
Government Code Section 65400(b)(1) requires that an annual report be prepared by the planning
agency of each town or city, which is then forwarded to the appropriate legislative body, on the
status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation. The statute also requires a progress
report on meeting the community's regional fair share housing allocations. State law also
requires that the annual report is forwarded to the State Department of Housing and Community
Development(HCD) and to the Governor's Office of Planning & Research (OPR) by April 1 of
each year.
ANALYSIS
Attached Exhibit 1 sets forth the Tiburon 2020 General Plan programs and describes progress
made by the Town in implementing those programs. Please note the Housing Element portion is
formatted differently from the others in order to comply with specific state reporting requirements
for that Element. Progress and commentary added or amended for CY 2017 is underlined for
easy identification in the case of all Elements. Tiburon 2020 as a planning document has held up
very well over the years, but within the next two to three years will probably be ready for a
comprehensive updating. Additional funding for that eventual task is set aside each year, with a
projected account balance of$267,750 by July 1, 2018.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW
The Planning Commission reviewed the draft annual report at its February 28, 2018 regular
meeting and recommended acceptance to the Town Council.

Introduction
On September 7, 2005, the Town Council adopted a new General Plan, Tiburon 2020. This Plan contained a planning horizon for the Year 2020, by which time it is
anticipated that a comprehensive update of entire General Plan will ensue. This annual report is the thirteenth performed since that adoption. This report generally
reviews progress on implementing programs contained within Tiburon 2020 during the Calendar Year 2017. The purposes of this annual report are to:
1. Provide information regarding how the General Plan is being implemented with respect to its adopted implementation programs.
2. Identify any approved or needed amendments to the General Plan.
3. Provide information as to specific actions taken and ongoing strategies and practices to implement the General Plan.
4. Provide information regarding the Town's progress in meeting its fair share of regional housing needs and efforts to remove governmental constraints.
The Annual Report is organized by the eight elements in the General Plan, with a list of each implementing program and the status of that program, in the order that
the element and implementing program appears in the General Plan. The eight (8) elements of Tiburon 2020 are as follows:
Land Use Open Space & Conservation Parks & Recreation Safety
Downtown Noise Circulation Housing
Per state requirements, the Housing Element reporting follows a prescribed format that is different than the format used for other elements. The Town adopted a
comprehensive update of its Housing Element on August 20, 2014. The State Department of Housing and Community Development certified the Housing Element as
"in compliance" on September 5, 2014. The next Housing Element update is due in 2023. Seven (7) "new" housing units (not including tear-down/re-builds, of
which there were more) were constructed to completion in 2017.
A comprehensive update of the Circulation Element was adopted by the Council on February 3, 2016. Relatively minor amendments have been approved to each of
the other six General Plan elements since their original adoption in 2005. The following tables contain a program-by-program status report on all of the General Plan
implementing programs in the currently-adopted Tiburon General Plan 2020.

three-story building (condos over restaurant) was received in 2014. In 2015, the Town approved the
conditional use permit application, including a condition that the applicant contributes financially to the
pedestrian congestion point relief as part of the construction of the new building. In 2016, the Town

easement across its common area and perfected the trail alignment down the unimproved portion of Las
Lomas Lane through a formal grant of easement from the underlying owner. In 2016, the Town began
construction work on upgrading the Las Lomas Lane pathway just below Centro West Street, and the
Point Tiburon Bayside Association moved closer to securing its building permit for the reconstruction of
the stairway leading down from Mar West Street to it common area. In 2017, the Town completed
construction work on the upper Las Lomas pathway improvements and acquired an easement for the

establishing a community center which would accommodate demand for a community center. The term "community center" is broad and means different things to
recreational and other needs for the entire community different people. While 48% of residents surveyed rated the importance of a community center with
space for programs, classes, and events as "extremely" or"very important", the survey fell short of
identifying strong support for pursuing a community center on the Peninsula. The Assessment's authors
concluded that in any future [recreation-related] study, the interest in and specific features of a
community center should be explored. This should include a"willingness to pay" component for a
major facility of this type. While not a community center, the Dairy Knoll Recreation facility now
provides additional programming space for a variety of recreational and community events to serve
community needs.

REPORT
To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council
From: Office of the "Town Manager
Subject: Adopt Resolution, and Authorize Town Manager to execute Memorandum of
Understanding with County of Trinity to purchase Rule 20A Credits for
Ui -r-rounding Project between Lyford and Ned's Way
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
On January 17, 2018, Town Council received an update on a project using the Town's
accumulated PG&E Rule 20A funds. This project would underground utilities on Tiburon
Boulevard from Lyford Drive to Ned's Way. It also includes about 250 feet of undergrounding on
Lyford Drive. The staff report from the January 17 meeting, which includes a detailed analysis of
various aspects of this project, is attached as Exhibit 1.
After hearing the staff presentation on the item and deliberating, Town Council voted
unanimously in authorizing the Town Manager to negotiate with other jurisdictions for the
purchase of additional Rule 20A credits to allow the Town to proceed with the project this
Summer.
ANALYSIS
The current cost estimate for the project is approximately $2.3M, which includes a contingency
of approximately 25%. The Town currently has approximately $911,000 of accumulated Rule
20A credits available from PG&E, and staff estimates we need an additional $1.4M in credits for
the project to move forward.
On February 21, 2018, the Council authorized the Town Manager to execute an MOU with the
City of Rocklin for the purchase of $438,000 of Rule 20A credits at a cost of $109,000
(.25/credit). With the purchase of these credits, and if the project cost equals the estimate, the
Town would still need to acquire approximately $950,000 worth of additional credits to complete
the project this year
I have reached a tentativ e agreement with the County of Trinity to acquire up to $1,045,000 of
additional Rule 20A credits. The tentative agreement consists of the following 2 components:
• An agreement to purchase $700,000 worth of credits now at a cost of.50/credit: and,
TOWN OF T.1:);?°oN PAGE I OF
I o "n (: )un61 \lcctirl',
N tarcl-i ? 1013
• An option to purchase up to an additional $345,000 of Rule 20A credits, at a cost of
.50/credit The option to purchase additional credits would expire on Tune 30, 2019.
As the project estimate includes contingency, and we will not know the final project cost until
project completion, this option will allow us the flexibility to purchase only the amount of credits
necessary to complete the project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The FY 2017/18 CIP budget included $500,000 for this project. Accounting for the $109,500
used to acquire the credits from the City of Rocklin, this leaves $390,500 in available funding for
additional credits. Staff proposes using $350,000 of this funding for the initial purchase of
$700,000 of Rule 20 A credits from the County of Trinity. This would leave $40,500 remaining.
If the Town chooses to exercise its option to purchase additional credits under the proposed
agreement, we would be able to purchase an additional $81,000 of credits with the available
funding. If more credits are needed, staff would return to Council to approve a budget
amendment at that time.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Town Council:
1. Adopt Draft Resolution (Exhibit 2)
2. Authorize the Town Manager to execute the attached Memorandum of Understanding
with the County of Trinity to purchase PG&E Rule 20A credits (Exhibit 3).

STAFF PO .
To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council
From: Department of Public Works
Office of the Town Manager
Subject: Staff update on Rule 20A/B Undergrounding Project between Lyford and
Ned's Way
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
In September 2005, Council confirmed that Tiburon Boulevard continues to be the Town's Rule
20A funding priority and that the next project priorities would be (a) Mar West to Ned's Way, (b)
Ned's Way to San Rafael Avenue, and (c) Reed Ranch Road to Trestle Glen Boulevard.
Responding to this priority list, the Town undergrounded overhead lines along Tiburon
Boulevard from Lyford Drive to roughly 750 feet west of the intersection in conjunction with the
construction of the new parking lot. Another project was completed in 2015 that undergrounded
the south side of Tiburon Boulevard from the Lyford parking lot to Mar West.
Since 2014, staff has been working with PG&E to underground the utilities between Lyford and
Ned's Way using the Town's rule 20A finds. This project would underground Tiburon
Boulevard from Lyford Drive to about 880 feet west. It also includes about 250 feet of
undergrounding on Lyford Drive.
The project boundary includes a utility running through the school property. As this property is
within the undergrounding district boundary it must be undergrounded. This significantly
increased the estimated cost of construction. The undergrounding district includes approximately
1,781 feet ofmain trenching, 25 feet of service lateral trenching (trenching from property line to
the panel on the property), and one panel conversion. In 2014, the planning level estimate for the
project was $925,980. Since the project exceeded the available work credits the Town had
available, PG&E could not accept the project.
When staff brought this item to Council in 2015, Council asked if the Town could contribute
general find money to the project in order to proceed. PG&E responded that the project could be
split into two parts, one part Rule 20A and one part Rule 20B (funding from the Town). In
January 2015, the estimated cost of the Rule 20A portion was $710,000, well under our rule 20A
balance, and the ballpark estimated cost of the rule 20B project was $340,000.
The Town entered into an agreement with PG&E for them to do the design of the project, and in
the FY 2017-18 budget, Council allocated $500,000 for the rule 20B portion of the project. As
the design progressed, PG&E indicated that the cost for the project was anticipated to rise. Staff
has mentioned this at previous Council meetings.
TOWN OF s FBtiRON PAGE 1. cn,4
EXHIBIT NO._,
(1';A'I1 i._.('aii7Cl� �\. i'Clll<•
In late December, PG&E provided updated cost estimates based on 99% design.
The estimated cost of tile Rule 20A portion is $1,658,815. This is double the cost provided in
2015. This is a cost of about $1,079/1-F for design, construction and construction management.
The estimated cost of the Rule 20B portion is $352,000. This is close to the estimate provided by
PG&E in 2015.
Additionally, the Rule 20A project will remove a number of small trees on the berm south of
Tiburon Blvd for about 400 feet, centering roughly on the point across from the Police station.
There is no money included in the estimate for landscape restoration. Staff estimates the
additional cost of the landscape restoration would be approximately $50,000, resulting in a
revised estimate for the Rule 20A project of$1,708,815
ANALYSIS
Rule 20A and Rule 20B projects work by different rules. These rules have a substantial effect on
the cost of the project. One difference is that under a Rule 20B project there is an offset, or
credit, for an equivalent overhead facility. This credit does not exist for a Rule 20A project.
Therefore, in general, a Rule 20A project costs more than the same project completed as a Rule
20B project. On the other hand, Rule 20A projects are paid for with Rule 20A credits, whereas,
Rule 20B projects are funded solely by the jurisdiction completing the project.
The estimated cost of the Rule 20A portion (with $50K in landscape restoration) is
$1,708,815. The Town currently has $910,000 in its Rule 20A credit account, including a five
year borrow ahead (the maximum allowed). To move forward with the project, the Town would
need approximately $800,000 in additional Rule 20A credits.
It is possible the Town could acquire the needed additional credits by `purchasing' them from
another jurisdiction. PG&E has indicated they allow this type of transfer, requiring only an
executed MOU from the 2 parties to effectuate the transfer of credits on their end. This process is
completely unregulated, meaning it is up to the parties to establish the sales price of the credits.
Staff is aware of several transfers that have taken place, and has identified several jurisdictions
that may be willing to sell their Rule 20A credits to the Town. Staff estimates credits may be
Purchased for approximately $0.50/credit.
The estimated cost of the Rule 20B portion is $352,000. This is close to the estimate provided by
PG&E in 2015. The FY 2017/18 CIP budget included $500,000 for this portion of the project.
however, this Rule 20B part of the project could be converted to Rule 20A. This raises the
estimate for that portion of the project to $625,000. Although this is an increase to the total cost
of the project, it could potentially result in net cost savings if the Town can negotiate an
advantageous price for additional Rule 20A credits.
The design and estimating of a Rule 20A and Rule 20B project are different, therefore, staff has
directed PG&E to design the current Rule 20B portion as a Rule 20A project in order to
determine a more accurate estimate, and hopefully, keep the project on schedule.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The FY 2017/18 CIP budget included $500,000 for this project in addition to the Town's
$910,000 of available Rule 20A credits.
As discussed above, the project could be completed as a combined Rule 20A and Rule 20B
project, as currently planned. Alternatively, the project could be converted to an all Rule 20A.
Below are the cost implications for both alternatives. The following is an analysis of the financial
impacts of each scenario.
Rule 2" and 20B
As a combined Rule 20A and Rule 20B project, the cost of the project is estimated at $1,708,815
for the Rule 20A portion (including landscape restoration) and $352,000 for the Rule 20B
portion. To move forward with the project the Town must acquire approximately $800,000 in
additional Rule 20A credits. At $0.50/credit, the cost of these credits is estimated at $400,000.
Factoring in the funds allocated to this project in the Fiscal Year 2017-18 C1P, Council would
need to allocate an additional $252,000 to the project.
Rule 20A for the entire project
As an all Rule 20A project the estimated cost of the project is $2,333,815 (including landscape
restoration). To move forward with the project the Town would need to acquire approximately
$1,425,000 in additional Rule 20A credits. At$0.50/credit, this would cost about $712,000.
Factoring in the funds allocated in the Fiscal Year 2017-18 budget, Council would need to
allocate an additional $212,000 to the project.
The Table below summarizes the financial analysis from above:
Table 1 - Additional money needed for Rule 20A credits
Rule 20A/2013 All Rule 20A
Current Rule 20A Credits $910,000 $910,000
Rule 20A Estimate $1,658,815 $1,658,815
Cost of landscape restoration $50,000 $50,000
Rule 20B portion as Rule 20A $0 $625,000
Total Rule 20A Credits needed $1,708,815 $2,333,815
Additional 20A Credits Needed $800,000 $1,425,000
Cost at .50/credit $400,000 $712,000
Current GF Allocation for 20B $500,000 $500,000
Rule 20B Estimate $352,000 $0
Available to buy 20B Credits $148,000 $500,000
Cost of additional credits $400,000 $712,000
Additional GF Allocation $252,000 $212,000
Please note, under both of the scenarios above, we have assumed the additional needed Rule 20A
credits are purchased at .50/credit. If credits can be acquired for less than .50/credit, the
additional allocation required under either scenario would be reduced accordingly.
As all the above are estimates, staff believes it is prudent to allow flexibility in the Rule 20A
purchase negotiations and the decision on converting the project to all Rule 20A. Further to
cover contingencies, staff recommends increasing the current allocation to the project by
$260,000. This money would come from General Fund Infrastructure account.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Town Council:
1. Receive staff report on status of Rule 20A/2013 project.
2. Allocate an additional $260,000 to the Rule 20A/20B under-rounding project from the
General Fund Infrastructure account.
3. Direct the Town Manager to negotiate with other jurisdictions to obtain approximately
$1,424,000 in Rule 20A credits, with any resulting agreements to be brought back to
Council for final approval.

STAFF REPORT
To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council
From: Office of the Town Manager
Subject: Adopt Resolution Accepting an Offer Of Dedication To Public Use Of An
EaseTent For Public Utility Purposes Over A Portion of Property Located
At 8 aed's Way
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
On January 17,2018,Town Council received an update on a project using the Town's accumulated
PG&E Rule 20A funds. This project would underground utilities on Tiburon Boulevard from
Lyford Drive to Ned's Way. It also includes about 250 feet of undergrounding on Lyford Drive.
The staff report from the January 17 meeting, which includes a detailed analysis of various aspects
of this project, is attached as Exhibit 1.
After hearing the staff presentation on the item and deliberating,Town Council voted unanimously
to continue to move forward with the project.
To construct the project various easements are needed. Staff is in the process of obtaining
easements from the Reed School District and Sanitation District 5.
A third easement is needed on the Chandler's Gate property. In this case there is an existing Public
Utility Easement (PUE) on the parcel map that was offered for dedication to the Town in 2000.
The Town did not accept that dedication at that time, but can now accept the dedication of the
easement.
ANALYSIS
It is far more efficient to accept the PUE previously offered for dedication than it does to negotiate
and create a new easement for PG&E for the project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact to accepting this easement. However,the Town is obtaining Rule 20A
credits for this project and those cannot be utilized without this easement.

has mentioned this at previous Council meetings.

In late December, PG&E provided updated cost estimates based on 99% design.
The estimated cost of the Rule 20A portion is $1,658,815. This is double the cost provided in
2015. This is a cost of about$1,079/LF for design, construction and construction management.
The estimated cost of the Rule 20B portion is $352,000. This is close to the estimate provided by
PG&E in 2015.
Additionally,the Rule 20A project will remove a number of small trees on the berm south of
Tiburon Blvd for about 400 feet, centering roughly on the point across from the Police station.
There is no money included in the estimate for landscape restoration. Staff estimates the
additional cost of the landscape restoration would be approximately $50,000,resulting in a
revised estimate for the Rule 20A project of$1,708,815
ANALYSIS
Rule 20A and Rule 20B projects work by different rules. These rules have a substantial effect on
the cost of the project. One difference is that under a Rule 20B project there is an offset, or
credit, for an equivalent overhead facility. This credit does not exist for a Rule 20A project.
Therefore, in general, a Rule 20A project costs more than the same project completed as a Rule
20B project. On the other hand, Rule 20A projects are paid for with Rule 20A credits, whereas,
Rule 20B projects are funded solely by the jurisdiction completing the project.
The estimated cost of the Rule 20A portion (with$50K in landscape restoration) is
$1,708,815. The Town currently has $910,000 in its Rule 20A credit account, including a five
year borrow ahead (the maximum allowed). To move forward with the project,the Town would
need approximately$800,000 in additional Rule 20A credits.
It is possible the Town could acquire the needed additional credits by `purchasing' them from
another jurisdiction. PG&E has indicated they allow this type of transfer, requiring only an
executed MOU from the 2 parties to effectuate the transfer of credits on their end. This process is
completely unregulated, meaning it is up to the parties to establish the sales price of the credits.
Staff is aware of several transfers that have taken place, and has identified several jurisdictions
that may be willing to sell their Rule 20A credits to the Town. Staff estimates credits may be
purchased for approximately $0.50/credit.
The estimated cost of the Rule 20B portion is $352,000. This is close to the estimate provided by
PG&E in 2015. The FY 2017/18 CIP budget included $500,000 for this portion of the project.
However, this Rule 20B part of the project could be converted to Rule 20A. This raises the
estimate for that portion of the project to $625,000. Although this is an increase to the total cost
of the project, it could potentially result in net cost savings if the Town can negotiate an
advantageous price for additional Rule 20A credits.
The design and estimating of a Rule 20A and Rule 20B project are different, therefore, staff has
directed PG&E to design the current Rule 20B portion as a Rule 20A project in order to
determine a more accurate estimate, and hopefully, keep the project on schedule.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The FY 2017/18 CIP budget included $500,000 for this project in addition to the Town's
$910,000 of available Rule 20A credits.
As discussed above, the project could be completed as a combined Rule 20A and Rule 20B
project, as currently planned. Alternatively,the project could be converted to an all Rule 20A.
Below are the cost implications for both alternatives. The following is an analysis of the financial
impacts of each scenario.
Rule 2" and 20B
As a combined Rule 20A and Rule 20B project, the cost of the project is estimated at$1,708,815
for the Rule 20A portion (including landscape restoration) and $352,000 for the Rule 20B
portion. To move forward with the project the Town must acquire approximately $800,000 in
additional Rule 20A credits. At$0.50/credit, the cost of these credits is estimated at$400,000.
Factoring in the funds allocated to this project in the Fiscal Year 2017-18 CIP, Council would
need to allocate an additional $252,000 to the project.
Rule 2"for the entire project
As an all Rule 20A project the estimated cost of the project is $2,333,815 (including landscape
restoration). To move forward with the project the Town would need to acquire approximately
$1,425,000 in additional Rule 20A credits. At$0.50/credit, this would cost about$712,000.
Factoring in the funds allocated in the Fiscal Year 2017-18 budget, Council would need to
allocate an additional $212,000 to the project.
The Table below summarizes the financial analysis from above:
Table 1 -Additional money needed for Rule 20A credits
Rule 20AJ20B All Rule 20A
Current Rule 20A Credits $910,000 $910,000
Rule 20A Estimate $1,658,815 $1,658,815
Cost of landscape restoration $50,000 $50,000
Rule 20B portion as Rule 20A $0 $625,000
Total Rule 20A Credits needed $1,708,815 $2,333,815
Additional 20A Credits Needed $800,000 $1,425,000
Cost at .50/credit $400,000 $712,000
Current GF Allocation for 20B $500,000 $500,000
Rule 20B Estimate $352,000 $0
Available to buy 20B Credits $148,000 $500,000
Cost of additional credits $400,000 $712,000
Additional GF Allocation $252,000 $212,000
Please note, under both of the scenarios above, we have assumed the additional needed Rule 20A
credits are purchased at .50/credit. If credits can be acquired for less than .50/credit, the
additional allocation required under either scenario would be reduced accordingly.

As all the above are estimates, staff believes it is prudent to allow flexibility in the Rule 20A
purchase negotiations and the decision on converting the project to all Rule 20A. Further to
cover contingencies, staff recommends increasing the current allocation to the project by
$260,000. This money would come from General Fund Infrastructure account.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Town Council:
1. Receive staff report on status of Rule 20A/2013 project.
2. Allocate an additional $260,000 to the Rule 20A/2013 undergrounding project from the
General Fund Infrastructure account.
3. Direct the Town Manager to negotiate with other jurisdictions to obtain approximately
$1,424,000 in Rule 20A credits, with any resulting agreements to be brought back to
Council for final approval.
