I am interested in serving on the Planning Commission due to my deep real estate experience (both
commercial and residential)which I believe is relevant to this commission's focus, and my strong desire to
help maintain and enhance the wonderful and unique qualities that make Tiburon so special. Many of these
qualities, which have inspired and drawn so many of us here to raise our families and make new
connections, are affected and/or influenced by the Town's land use regulations. I spent a lot of time studying
the Tiburon Zoning Ordinance when we rebuilt our home here about six years ago, and recently reviewed the
General Plan including the Updated Housing Element, and I respect the ideas and vision contained therein. I
believe in adhering to these guiding elements, and making common sense amendments if and when they are
sensible, supported by a majority of the Town's residents and elected/appointed leaders, and aim to
strengthen and create greater, healthier, and more fluid connections across our community.
I've lived in the Bay Area nearly 20 years, and moved to Tiburon in 2011 with my husband and two
daughters (now in 1St and 4th grade at Reed/Bel Aire). My professional life has been primarily focused on
finance and commercial real estate, including 13 years at Jones Lang LaSalle, one of the world's largest
commercial real estate firms. i am currently a Senior VP/Director at JLL advising real estate owners/investors
such as pension funds, corporations, developers, operators and lenders on their real estate portfolios and
strategy. During this time, I've dealt with a variety of land use and zoning issues between owners and Bay
Area municipalities. I believe the unique combination of my professional background, my strong interest in
the role played by city planning to shape and enhance our daily lives, my hands-on experience developing a
home from the ground up in Tiburon, and my passion for real estate and smart design in general will help me
provide a thoughtful perspective on the issues that the Planning Commission will face in the years ahead. I
continue to serve on the board of my local homeowners association (5+years)with an eye toward improving
our local neighborhood for its residents, and look forward to having a positive impact on our greater Tiburon
community working alongside the Town Council via the Planning Commission. For more details on my work

REASONS FOR SELEcrING
YOUR AREAS OF INT'ERE'ST
As a 24 year resident, and an avid reader of the Ark, I would like to
contribute to Tiburon's future. My children are now 18, and 16, and I am at
a point in my career where I have more. fr_ee time to devote to serving.
APPLICABLE QUALIFICATIONS
AND EXPERIENCE
My first choice is the Planning Commission.
At UC Berkeley, I got an A in Architecture and was strongly encourage by my
Professor to pursue that Career.
Instead, I went into Business, passing the CPA exam in College; and later
becoming a CPA with Price Waterhouse (now PWC) .
For fun, I got my real. estate license. This later came in handy when I worked
for Syufy Enterprises, a major commerial. real estate developer.
I 'm fluent in Spanish, and I 'm always striving for win-win situations; which I
tope to bring to the Planning Conunission. Thank you.

Additional Information
In addition to the information provided in my application and cover email, I'd like to mention the
following:
I actively follow via the ARK,the local events and issues related to the town. After we purchased our
house on Stewart Drive in 1993, 1 spent many hours at the library reading all the issues of the ARK prior
to October 1993 to get a better understanding of the community we decided to call home. I either
bought or checked out all the Landmark Society books on the history of the Town, Belvedere,and the
history of the Tiburon Peninsula.
Not only has this historical knowledge made me feel more connected to our town; but, over the years, it
has enabled me to share the history with the young Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and with newer residents of
the community.
Over the years, I have occasionally attended Council, Design Review Board,and Planning Commission
meetings. Since I submitted my application for the Planning Commission in July, I would have liked to
have attended a more recent Planning Commission meeting; but,as of today(September 91"),they have
all been canceled. So,to bring myself more up to speed, I have also read the last 2 years of agendas and
minutes.
Throughout my career,currently Controllerfor Thunder(an advertising technology company), or my
volunteer activities, I like to be prepared and ready to get to work. Hopefully, I won't have to use the
skills; but,several years ago, I participated in one of the first CERTtraining classes held in town.
Now that my Boys are older, I have more free time. Since the Town and Real Estate have always been
strong interests of mine, I'd like to serve on the Planning Commission. As both a CPA and having
previously earning a real estate license, I am familiar with both real estate and legal terminology,and
codes and ordinances. I would like to think that my more than 30 years of business experience would
help lead to positive outcomes,and hopefully win-win situations for all parties involved.
Personally,from reading all the minutes, I like the fact that the Planning Commission has a hand in
making decisions that impact the economic development of the town;on top of being involved with
residential matters. Again, I think my business experience, from retail,to start-ups,to multinational
corporations could be helpful to the commission.
Thank you,

Subject: Re:Another Planning Commission Vacancy - More Info
Lea:
Hope all is well.
Last night, I was able to attend the Planning Commission meeting. It was the first one held since July 12 (so during this
application process I haven't had the opportunity to see a recent meeting until now). The meeting was lightly
attended. As far as I know, no other potential candidate (such as Jeff Tsai)was there; just applicants, their supporters,
and neighbors.
It was helpful to see our Planning Commission in action, and to see how the Planning Staff prepares the background and
recommendations on the meeting agenda items. I reviewed both Staff Reports before the meeting last night.
I didn't plan on speaking; but, from my review of the Staff Report, and my knowledge of the Audubon Center operations, I
felt I had to point out that there would be a lot more cars and traffic at the site when they run their camps. The applicants
omitted this. After I made this comment, the Commissioners were able to speak with the applicant again, and they asked
that more work be done to mitigate the traffic issues when there may be as many as 70 children on the site at one time
(not just the 20 for the preschool).
At the start of the meeting, Lou Weller was thanked for his years of service. It was specifically pointed out that due to him
being a long time resident of the Town, he had a uncanny sense of what the Town's residents' position would be on
various projects before the Commission.
After thinking about it, I realized that long term residency can have a lot of value to the Commission. It was because my
own children have attended the Audubon Camps and because I had been the in the building that they intend to lease to
the preschool that I knew there were going to be a lot more children on the site than the Applicant originally implied.
So, if I had a do-over interview with the Town Council, having attended a recent meeting, and seeing the value of long
term Town knowledge, I would stress that more in my interview.
Another thing that came up in my interview is whether or not I had read the General Plan. I had read it years ago; but, 1
didn't want to represent to the Council members that it was fresh on my mind. However, it seemed to be an important
prerequisite that they were looking for in a candidate.
So, if I had a do-over interview, I would tell them that I have completed rereading through all of the elements of the
General Plan. And, I'd be prepared to answer questions about it.
Please add these comments to my application package; and, if the Council requests, I'd be happy to do another interview
with them.
Regards,
Roy

Attention: Lea Stefani
March 13, 2018
RE:Application for the Planning Commission Seat
To Whom It May Concern,
I am applying for a volunteer position on the Planning Commission. I am a 55 year old woman
with experience and qualifications that will be of benefit to the Town. I have been admitted to the
Bar for almost 30 years, practiced in law and international accounting firms,served as counsel at
two major U.S. corporations,taught at graduate law and business programs at Bay Area
universities,started my own non-profit organization to benefit children with special needs and
their families,and now manage a portfolio of real estate and other investments as well as avidly
practice my craft as an abstract landscape painter.
In my life, I have owned homes across the country,travelled the world and held many positions
which required me to listen to opposing points of view, analyze data, review compliance with
technical aspects of the law and balance public and private interests,all of which will assist me in
performing my duties as a member of the Planning Commission.
I have a strong understanding of site plans, lot coverage rules,variances and other aspects of
home ownership as I have owned, renovated, and managed numerous homes in upscale
residential communities around the country. My husband and I have owned the house at 662
Hilary Drive in Tiburon for 20 years where we reside and have raised our 23 year old son,who
has developmental disabilities. He teaches me daily to make every day a learning experience and
to always keep an open mind. I have grown over the years to have greater respect for everyone I
meet along the way and appreciate the uniqueness of every individual.
As Tax Counsel at a Fortune 25 company, l analyzed complex transactions and created solutions
after taking into consideration varying points of view while applying relevant aspects of the law.
As Executive Director of a non-profit entity, I advocated for long term planning initiatives that
included community improvement through the integration and inclusion of all types of people. In
these roles and in others I have served, I have balanced individual interests against larger
concerns to find the most appropriate solutions.
I have found that being a fair minded and keen listener assists me whether I am instructing a
person with special needs learn to play tennis or a room full of law students or executives. Each
requires a sound understanding of the rules at play, consideration of different points of view,an
ability to work as a team player and, perhaps most of all, employment of patience and
perseverance.
Based on these qualifications and experiences, 1 hope you will consider my application to join the
Planning Commission of the Town of Tiburon.

Reasons for selecting your area of interest:
The Planning Commission is most interesting to me because I am a long-term, big picture thinker-
hence, a natural planner. I enjoy exploring the many elements of a society or community and then
finding solutions and strategies for improvement.
Applicable Qualifications and Experience:
I've been an insurance lawyer for 9 years (after a stint in Federal Criminal Defense). I am a plaintiff's
lawyer, which means I help policyholders obtain their benefits from insurance companies. I handle both
disability and property claims. My work requires great attention to detail, excellent listening skills, and
the ability to both advocate for individuals who have been mistreated and understand the viewpoint of
the other side.To reach settlements or successful jury verdicts, I need to understand not only my clients
and their particular needs, but also the value placed on their claim by the community they reside in.
These skills transfer very well to a role in civil government, where I will need to listen and understand
citizens effectively, as well as work toward solutions which are net positive for the community as a
whole.
My expertise in Property Law will also be very useful for the Planning Commission. I am well-versed on
the rights and regulations connected to property issues.

' TOWN OF TIBURON
1505 Tiburon Boulevard
Tiburon, CA 94920
MEMORANDUM
Date: March 6, 2018
To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council
From: Lea Stefani, Town Clerk
Subject: Summary of March 2, 2018 Council-Staff Retreat
On March 2, 2018, the Town Council held a special meeting at The Ranch at Dairy Knoll for the
purpose of its annual retreat with Town staff.
At 8:30 a.m., Mayor Fraser called the meeting to order. Councilmembers Fredericks, Thier and
Welner, Vice Mayor Kulik and Mayor Fraser were present. Staff members present were Town
Manager Chanis, Town Attorney Stock, Director of Community Development Anderson,
Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Barnes, Director of Administrative Services Bigall,
Chief of Police Cronin, Planning Manager Watrous, Associate Engineer Lashkevich, Emergency
Services Coordinator Nilsen and Town Clerk Stefani. Building Official Salzman and
Management Analyst Creekmore arrived mid-morning. One member of the public (Deirdre
McCrohan) attended, and was joined later by several members of the public.
Mayor Fraser asked for oral communications. Lynn Fox expressed concern about fire mitigation
on Town-owned open space land near her home. and suggested landscaping content coming from
the Town be available in Spanish.
Mayor Fraser and Town Manager Chanis reviewed the agenda. Chanis said the goal of the retreat
was to review several open discussion topics in the morning, and to focus on capital project
priority setting in the afternoon. He said each discussion item should be limited to approximately
30 minutes, and is a good forum for a brief discussion and direction to staff. He said last year's
retreat had been in the same format and had resulted in several successful projects. The list of
topics discussed, a brief summary and direction given is below:
Emerl4ency Preparedness
Laurie Nilsen, Emergency Services Coordinator_ discussed the various resources available on the
Peninsula in case of an emergency. She explained the Town has an Emergency Operations Plan,
which guides local emergency response, and a joint Emergency Operations Center at the Tiburon
Police Department, shared with the City of Belvedere. She said the EOC operates as a central
location to coordinate response to an emergence, has necessary supplies, and is due for a laptop
\1:11:011 3.2hir C.Vit_ \n! Sr%d \_1 <L P;Ip.' ] of S
upgrade this year to ensure better connectivity with the County of Marin and other agencies in
the event of an emergency.
She said there are first aid stations on the peninsula, stocked with supplies and agreements with
doctors, nurses and local vendors and shelters to call upon if necessary. Nilsen said personnel is
another great asset—two cities sharing the sane EOC is beneficial, and the Town can always call
on reserve police, volunteer firefighters and mutual aid from other agencies.
Nilsen said a frequently asked question in recent months is how the public will be notified if
there is an emergency. She said there are six sirens on the peninsula that can be sounded to alert
citizens to tune in to the local radio station, and AlertMarin can send out a mass-notification via
text, landline, or email. Nilsen emphasized that if the recent earthquake in Alaska had triggered a
tsunami warning in the San Francisco Bay, AlertMarin would have notified subscribers.
Town Manager Chanis and Nilsen explained that all public employees are disaster service
workers, and must be trained to understand that, in the event of an emergency, they will be
working for a possibly unknown period of time. Nilsen said public employees are trained to work
in the EOC, and there is an annual county-wide EOC exercise. She said there are also trainings
available to the public. The Council expressed interest in leadership-specific training.
Affordable Housing
Director of Community Development Anderson said California is suffering a housing crisis — for
both affordable units, and the overall supply of housing. He said not enough new units are being
built across California, including in Tiburon. He said much of Tiburon is already built, and
vacant lots are vanishing.
Anderson said the State has passed many laws recently in response to the housing crisis — many
of which undermine local control and require a streamlined review and/or approval of housing
projects to meet a certain number of units. He said this is particularly troubling as most cities do
not have ability to influence housing construction. He said one common solution has been the
accessory dwelling unit, but this is not particularly popular in Tiburon. Furthermore, he said
remaining undeveloped lots are not necessarily suitable for housing projects. He said the Town
has money available to support affordable housing projects, but do not have any sites where the
owners are willing to take on such a project.
Anderson said removing obstacles for production of units is no longer enough to comply with
new legislation; new units must be built. Anderson said another troubling matter is the attempts
to tie unrelated funding, like street maintenance funds, to the production of housing; the end
result being that cities that don't build affordable housing might lose some of those funds.
Anderson said many Marin County cities are in the same situation as Tiburon.
Town staff and the Council briefly discussed one promising multi-unit site near the Police
Station and Corporation Yard, and the local school district's interest in the same site for their
employees.
The Council also discussed the potential impacts of upcoming legislation on the Town, and the
concern of losing grant money fi-om the State of California over this matter.
Councilmember Thier suggested educating Tiburon residents further on accessory dwelling
units, and Director Anderson explained that while these units might not officially be designated
as "affordable housing units", the Town is usually able to ascertain that the units are rented at an
affordable rate, and it counts toward the Town's unit requirement.
Richardson Bay Sanitation District
Town Manager Chanis said the Richardson Bay Sanitation District property on Blackie's Pasture
had been the subject of some discussion lately, and the question has been raised about the future
of the property. Chanis explained the existing use of the property — he said it is a functioning
sanitation district with offices, a pump station, and a corporation yard onsite, but no longer treats
sewage at this facility. He pointed out the three ponds on their property were used for recycling
water, and the Town is currently their only customer for recycled water.
Chanis explained that the Town will likely stop purchasing recycled water from the district soon,
and given that the Town is their only customer, there may be no need for them to maintain this
part of their property. Chanis said the manager has expressed interest in working with the Town
to determine the best future for this real estate. He said the sanitation district is its own
government entity, so anything will have to be reviewed and approved through their board.
Councilmember Fredericks inquired if there would ever be a need for the Town to use recycled
water again, and wondered how the sanitation district board felt about this idea.
Chanis said the board's specific thoughts are still unknown at this time, and it will be up to the
district to decide what to do with this land when the district no longer has recycled water
customers. Chams said the Town would gladly use recycled water, if it were cleaner. He said this
water probably should not be used on public areas where children are playing and next to a
playground.
Councilmember Thier thought the potential of finding a public use for this land was an excellent
opportunity for Tiburon residents that should be discussed soon. She said it is in an ideal location
for recreational use, and would like the Council to study potential uses for this area, and see if
the district board has any interest in moving forward with a proposal for acquisition of the land.
Mayor Fraser said sone members of the Parks, Open Space and Trails Commission are also
currently studying possible improvements in the Blackie's Pasture area. He said that group
should be reporting their findings to the Council soon. He suggested linking the two initiatives
together and discussing both at the same Council meeting, which would also allow for public
input from the community on the big picture.
Thier expressed concern about grouping a longer-term initiative of a larger scale with this short-
term opportunity, and the Council agreed that it was important to consider the improvements of
this area in a larger context.
Mayor Fraser suggested Councilmember Thier continue to work with the Town Manager on
specific discussions with the sanitation district, and recommended the Parks, Open Space and
Trails Commission bring forward their findings or proposals to the Council as soon as possible.
EV Charging Stations
Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Barnes said the Town must now comply with ADA
regulations when installing electric vehicle charging stations. He said staff had previously
identified the Lyford parking lot to be the best public lot for a station, but with the new ADA
compliance regulations, five existing parking spaces would be lost. He said staff did not
recommend proceeding with that location for that reason.
Barnes and the Council had a brief discussion about the rates charged at the stations, and Barnes
concluded the Town would not likely recoup its costs.
The Council discussed potential locations for charging stations. Planning Manager Watrous said
the owner of a private lot downtown will be installing a station, and Councilmember Thier
wondered if a charging station closer to the 101 freeway would be more useful.
Building Official Salzman suggested asking Tesla to install a charging station. Staff and the
Council discussed the merits of this suggestion.
Councilmember Welner wondered if the demand for a charging station was high at that specific
lot — he supposed Tiburon residents charged their vehicles at their homes, and visitors would not
likely visit that lot to charge.
Barnes said staff had looked at a number of locations in Town for a charging station, and
explained the complications. He said it is difficult to put a charger curbside due to the ADA
regulations, lack of curbside space, and the fact that electric vehicles have a variety of different
plug in locations on the actual vehicle.
Barnes explained another obstacle is to find an private parking lot owner willing to install a
station. He said one owner is planning to install a station, but staff would have to work with the
others to see if they are agreeable to installation at perhaps more advantageous locations.
Councilmember Thier suggested asking the library to install charging stations during their
expansion. Chanis agreed, and said they are just beginning design development.
Mayor Fraser asked how other cities are approaching this issue. Barnes said other entities have
built them into their own facilities, and the City of San Rafael has installed them in their paid
parking garage and charges users. He said charging stations can also end up in developments
\11Ri I, �,:'i�l- C�C�1 �: IL �i �: ��1 fR1 :-\1�SL\i\1;1R1' R" ( 10
S
(like shopping centers) because the municipality required them as a condition of approval, but
they often go unused.
Welner suggested doing some market research to determine where the charging stations would
be most useful and needed.
Chanis said the most likely successful scenario of EV charging station installation would be for
staff to work with the private landowners to see if there is a way that they will locate them in
their paid lots.
Mayor Fraser suggested Town staff continue to work with private property owners to see if there
can be an agreement, and report back to the Council at a later date.
Library Expansion
Town Manager Chanis said the library expansion project is moving into a different phase. He
said the Library Foundation is acting as the fundraising arm of the library for this project, and
they have recently obtained a bridge loan. He said they can now begin the design development
phase of the project. He showed an architectural rendering of what the library could look like
after completion of the expansion.
Director of Community Development Anderson summarized that there will be a significant
change to the Mar West intersection, as the parking lot would be accessed from Mar West Street
as opposed to Tiburon Boulevard. He also noted the library will need to secure a flood zone
variance from the Town Council to build their proposed project, as the FEMA flood maps
changed after project approval. He said another outstanding issue is a permit from CalTrans to
reconfigure Tiburon Boulevard in front of Town Hall and the library and extend the left turn
pocket on Tiburon Boulevard for cars headed to Mar West Street. Anderson said staff is in
frequent communication with the library project manager as the project moves forward.
Councilmember Thier wondered if the library had asked for a monetary contribution from the
Town. Chanis explained that while there has been no official request for a monetary contribution,
he anticipates the library will soon make a request due to the creation of a `civic center'-like
improvement to the area between Town Hall and the library. Chanis added that construction is
anticipated to begin in about one year.
Technology
Town Manager Chanis said the Town has implemented and is actively integrating several new
software programs in use day-to-day at Town Hall, including Trak-it for building and planning
permit tracking, Facility Dude for Public Works daily task management, Granicus for public
meeting management. and a new financial management software.
Chanis and the Council discussed Granicus' capability to video stream meetings. Chanis
explained the Town would need to install cameras and other hardware, and the Council thought
\IT RUT I�EFA T St'\i\9:Af21 _.__ — Rt"(, 5 of
this would be a great addition to the Town's public meetings. Chanis also explained the Council
could consider implementing OpenGov, a financial transparency tool now utilized by local
governments for budgeting purposes. He said staff could return to the Council at a later meeting
with a demonstration.
Councilmember Weiner reiterating the benefits of adding video to public meetings, and
suggested staff and the Council decide if other boards and commissions should be video
streamed as well. He also suggested adding board and commission member biographies and
photos to the Town's website for the public's benefit.
Weiner said there are several other improvements that could be made to the Town's website for
the public's benefit—he said some people have had difficulty finding agendas, and it would also
be beneficial to make some of the building permit process online.
Weiner also believed it was important to follow best legal practices and for the Council to utilize
Town-owned email addresses for official business. He said the one major obstacle for successful
implementation of this would be the limitations of the current webmail platform. He suggested
forming a technology ad-hoc subcommittee to study these issues and general technology usage.
Traffic on Tiburon Boulevard
Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Barnes informed the Council that several local
crossing guards may be lost due to lack of funding, and showed a chart outlining the results of a
risk study to determine which lower-risk intersections will lose the crossing guards.
The Council discussed the importance of having crossing guards near schools, even if those
intersections did not score high for risk in the study. Councilmember Thier emphasized the
importance of teaching kids to cross roads safely, and Mayor Fraser suggested involving the
Reed Union School district leadership in the conversation.
Chief of Police Cronin pointed out that the intersection at Blackfield Drive and Tiburon
Boulevard may also lose their crossing guard. He said that while this is a controlled intersection,
there is still a perception that it is unsafe. Chanis added that no changes will be made this
calendar year, and depending on funding, the Town may still have the same number of crossing
guards, but at different intersections as a result of the study.
Chanis clarified that the Town could move the crossing guards, and Director Barnes said the
Transportation Authority of Marin will ask the Council to understand that an official traffic study
has determined which intersections should have crossing guards, and the Council is choosing to
move them.
Mayor Fraser said the Council needs to figure out a way to cover intersections that aren't
covered.
Vice Mayor Kulik asked if the data was only specific to young children. Director Barnes
confirmed the study only counted children between ages 5-14.
,t M- lL I,\[ I- RI IR]\tSt-VIN,"ARY 6 o
On another note, Chief Cronin spoke briefly to traffic light signal timing on Tiburon Boulevard.
He said changing the signal timing cannot be done on Tiburon Boulevard because the gaps
between the lights are too far apart. He said staff has successfully gotten CalTrans to steadily
extend and shorten times for cars coming off of the side streets, which has generally added some
improvement to the traffic.
Speeding in Neighborhoods
Town Manager Chanis said staff receives regular complaints from residents that cars and
speeding in their neighborhoods. Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Barnes said staff has
been putting up speed signals in these neighborhoods to collect speed data. He said the data
shows the average car is going the posted speed limit, but some cars are going a little faster.
Barnes explained that the results of a traffic study would not likely lower the posted speed limit,
but could raise it, which is not the solution Tiburon residents are looking for to feel safer. Barnes
said residents often ask for speed bumps or speed dots, but ultimately neither are solutions for
Tiburon. He said speed dots are loud and do not effectively reduce speed, and speed bumps are
difficult to install due to the basic regulations of where they are permitted. Barnes said he has
also received requests for adding in stop signs. He said if a stop sign is unwarranted in a specific
location, drivers will tend to not stop at the sign.
Chief Cronin said the data shows that most drivers are not actually violating the posted speed
limit, and residents likely feel unsafe next to cars driving at that speed on a narrow road with no
sidewalk. He explained that the only way to lower the speed limit on the roads with the most
complaints is to conduct a speed study by a traffic engineer, and if the traffic engineer's results
are to instead raise the speed limit, the Town will have no choice but to raise the speed limit. He
said the only way to lower a speed limit is for the drivers to actually drive slower on the street.
Cronin said the only solution is increased enforcement, but it is difficult to place a police car on
some of the small streets to do effective enforcement. He said the police department is also not
staffed for sustained periods of enforcement.
Mayor Fraser suggested an increase in visibility of police on some of these problem streets.
Cronin agreed, and said the police strategically place themselves at various parts of Town in
between calls. He said a police presence helps residents feel safer.
Capital Improvement Program and Review of Budget Reserves
Town Manager Chanis offered a broad view of large upcoming projects in Town. He said the
Town is at a high peak of projects over the next several years, including: storm drain pipe
repairs, McKegney Green, the Streets Overlay Project, Rule 20A undergrounding along Tiburon
Boulevard, solar on the police station, the Hawthorne and Virginia Undergrounding Districts,
Beach Road drainage, and the ferry dock pile repair.
\L;�,,, . '()l-'Col Xcii SRI I I StNm;a[.), I'auu7A
A discussion of the impact of the Hawthorne Undergrounding District construction followed.
Town Attorney Stock advised that building permits in this area could not be limited during the
undergrounding construction, and Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Barnes said certain
conditions to building permits will be needed, like limiting parking or debris containers, to give
the contractor room to work and access to the road.
Chanis then summarized the Town's overall financial strategy and reviewed various figures of
the budget reserves maintained by the Town, and the reserves the Town uses to fund capital
projects like these. He also summarized the various policy-directed, discretionary set-asides,
unallocated and restricted funds the Town maintains.
Capital Project Priority Setting
Town Manager Chanis gave an overview of the capital project priority setting process, and
showed a list of 31 projects in the current portfolio. LIe said the 31 projects were ranked by staff
members in different departments, and explained the projects were weighted differently, with the
heaviest weight given to those projects that reduced health and safety threats, those required by
legal mandate and the cost of deferred maintenance.
Chanis said the results of the ranking exercise resulted in a three-tiered (not individually ranked)
project list that guides the Council and staff in future budgeting decisions. He said another useful
tool in the priority setting process is the individual project data sheet made for each capital
project. He said each sheet now includes an indicator for if the project will be impacted by sea
level rise.
Chanis and Director Bigall explained that the best time for the Council to make comments or
changes to the portfolio and rankings is during the annual budget process, when the Capital
hnprovement Program is presented in depth to the budget committee.
Mayor Fraser suggested that, given three new council members, staff bring the CIP back to the
Council as an individual item for a more robust review as part of the budget process.

AI-2. Rule 20A Credits — Consider authorizing Town Manager to execute agreement to
purchase Rule 20A credits from County of Trinity (Office of the Town Manager)
Town Manager Chanis said the Council had previously authorized staff to negotiate with other
jurisdictions to purchase their Rule 20A credits at an advantageous rate to complete a priority
undergrounding project along Tiburon Boulevard, between Lyford and Ned's Way.
He said the Council authorized an agreement to purchase Rule 20A credits from the City of Rocklin
at their most recent meeting, and tonight, staff is returning to the Council with another proposed
agreement to purchase credits from the County of Trinity for the same project.
He said tonight's proposed agreement is to purchase$700,000 worth of credits at$0.50/credit,with
the option to purchase an additional $345,000 worth of credits, also at $0.50/credit. He said the
option to purchase additional credits would expire on June 30, 2019.
Chanis concluded his report by discussing the overall financing of the project across several different
cost scenarios, and the purchase of credits from the different entities.
Councilmember Fredericks asked if there will be enough time to determine the final cost of the
project before the agreement to purchase more credits, if necessary, expires. Chanis clarified that
there will be plenty of time to exercise that portion of the agreement, as staff anticipates beginning
construction on the project this summer.
Councilmennber Thier and Chanis then discussed the merits of purchasing even more credits than
needed for future projects at a discounted rate. Thier believed the Council should consider this
possibility in greater detail if it would allow the Town to continue doing projects at a lesser cost.
Chanis further clarified that if the Town were to acquire a bank of Rule 20A credits,the Town could
Tovnn Council Minutes #06-2018 DRAFT March 7, 2018 Page 3
sell them to other entities. He said this is allowable under the existing Rule 20A program, but may
not be permissible in the future.
Councilmember Welner said another factor to consider is that while theTown may be purchasing the
credits at a discount, paying for a project with credits is "more expensive"than paying for it with
cash.
Vice Mayor Kulik inquired about the expiration of acquired credits, and how long it would take to
acquire additional credits if the cost for this project exceeds the estimate. Chanis said the credits will
not expire, and additional credits can be acquired relatively quickly for a similar discounted price.
Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment. There was none.
MOTION: Adopt resolution and authorize the Town Manager to execute Memorandum of
Understanding with the County of Trinity to purchase Rule 20A credits.
Moved: Thier, seconded by Welner
VOTE: AYES: Unanimous
AI-3. Chandler's Gate Public Utility Easement(PUE)—Consider acceptance of public use
of an easement for public utility purposes over a portion of Chandler's Gate property on
Ned's Way (Office of the Town Manager)
Town Manager Chanis said a number of easements are necessary to construct the Tiburon Boulevard
Rule 20A undergrounding project between Lyford and Ned's Way, including an easement on the
Chandler's Gate property. He said there is an existing Public Utility Easement that the Town did not
accept when it was originally dedicated in 2000. Chanis said there is now a need to accept the
dedication of the easement for completion of this project.
Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment. There was none.

REPORT
l
To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council
From: Department of Public Works
Subject: Recommendation to Award the 2018 Storm Drain Rehabilitation Project to
Miksis Services
Reviewed By: Greg Chanis,Town Manager y
BACKGROUND
The 2018 Storm Drain Rehabilitation Project repairs corrugated metal pipes that are deteriorated
and have holes in them. The Project was included in the 2017/18 Capital Improvement Plan and
was funded,based on a preliminary estimate,for$1.1 million. This budget assumed the lines would
all need to be replaced rather than lined. As design progressed, we determined a majority of the
lines were suitable candidates for lining, reducing the cost of the project.
The project was split into three parts as the design progressed. This was due to permit restrictions
and receiving no responsive bidders on the first bid attempt. The three parts are:
1. Pipe lining with permit requirements by regulators. The permit requirements virtually
guarantee a sole source contract in this area.
2. Pipe lining without permit requirements.
3. Civil work replacing pipes.
The subject of this award is the first project, pipe lining with permit requirements. As anticipated,
the Town received one bid from Miksis Services in the amount of $66,630. The engineer's
estimate was $64,000. The bid is 4% above engineer's estimate.
ANALYSIS
Miksis Services was deemed to be a responsive and responsible bidder.
Staff anticipated only one bid for this contract. This is due to regulatory requirements that
essentially dictated a folded PVC liner. Miksis Services is the only company in this area that
installs this type of liner. The Town has worked with Miksis Services on previous projects and
has been happy with their work.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Annual Drainage Improvements Project in the 2017/18 CIP was funded at $1.1 million, with
$990,000 remaining after design. Many pipes, including those in this contract were able to be
TowToWN or=TiBURON PAGEJL of 2

1'l sa rc is 21,21017
lined saving a considerable amount of money. The combined construction estimate for all three
contracts in this project is $600,000.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Allow the Town Manager to approve the award of contract for the 2018 Storm Drain
Rehabilitation Project to Miksis Services for$66,630.
2. Allow the Town Manager the flexibility to increase the design contract by 15%
($10,000) as a contingency to cover any design or construction issues that are not now
readily apparent.

Subject: Awof Design Contract for Hawthorne Undergrounding District to Harris
s dates
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
In 2016,property owners on portions of Rock Hill Drive, Hawthorne Drive, Hilary Drive, Hilary
Court, Mira Vista Court, Del Mar Drive, Palmer Court and Tiburon Boulevard submitted
petitions to form a utility undergrounding district (The District).
On January 4, 2017, the Town Council unanimously passed Resolution No. 01-2017 which
indicated the Town's intent to form The District.
On November 29, 2017, the Town Council adopted Resolution No. 35-2017, which approved the
Preliminary Engineer's Report and fixed February 7, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. at Town Hall as the time
and place of hearing protests and objections to The District as proposed and count the ballots for
and against the proposed assessments to be levied.
On February 7, 2018, Town Council held a public hearing on the proposed undergrounding
district. After the public hearing ballots were tabulated. There being no majority protest, Council
adopted Council Resolution No. 04-2018 confirming assessments.
The next step is for the Town to award a contract to complete the design of the undergrounding
proj ect.
Town policy provides that"For those streets which are identified in the Town's Pavement
Management Program for pavement rehabilitation within five (5) years of district ballot approval,
the Town will fund the incremental cost between trench patching and a full overlay of the street."
Hawthorne Drive and a portion of Rock Hill Drive were scheduled for overlay in 2015, prior to
receiving petitions for the undergrounding district. That project was put on hold pending the
undergrounding.
Town policy also states that"Town-maintained streets with a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of
70 or greater will receive a slurry seal fully funded by the Town." The remainder of the roads in
The District meet this condition.

'Fowil Cou)-' it �Cectin�7
March 21,2018
Staff has received two proposals from Harris & Associates, one for the design of the
undergrounding and a separate proposal for the additional overlay and slurry seal work.
ANALYSIS
The proposal from Harris for the design of the undergrounding district has a proposed cost of
$427,476. The Town Council has agreed to pay for the cost of this design from a maximum
contribution amount of$500,000 toward the project. This will pay for the design by Harris and
fund any costs from PG&E. The Town has paid an initial deposit of$20,000 to PG&E but PG&E
can ask for additional funds if needed.
The proposal from Harris for the design of the paving undergrounding district has a proposed cost
of$46,220. This would be paid from Road Impact Fees.
The schedule for this design work is shown in table 1 below.

project from Unallocated General Fund Reserves.
2. Authorize the Town Manager to award a design contract for the Hawthorne Utility
Undergrounding project to Harris &Associates in the amount of$427,476.00.

STAFF PO .
To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council
From: Dmitriy Lashkevich, Department of Public Works
Subject: Allocating Road Repair and Accountability Act Funds to Pave Roadways
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of
2017) was passed by the Legislature and Signed into law by the Governor in April 2017. It
provides additional funds for roadway maintenance.
In the upcoming fiscal year, the predicted revenue to the Town is estimated at $177,439 for FY
2018-19. These funds are anticipated to be allocated by the State in equal monthly payments.
One of the reporting requirements is for the Town Council to pass and adopt a Resolution on a
recurring annual basis that allocated expenditure of the received funds to specific projects. Last
year the Town Council passed and adopted Resolution No. 29-2017 (Exhibit 1) amending the
2017-18 fiscal year budget to include an additional $53,693 in State Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Account revenues for funding a portion of the 2018 Various Streets Project. Staff
was instructed to submit a new resolution for the upcoming fiscal year with an updated list of
projects for which SBI funding will be allocated. The resolution is enclosed as Exhibit 2.
ANALYSIS
The actual amount of funding to be received is uncertain and depends on constantly changing
factors such as the price of gasoline and the quantities purchased by the public. All of the
received SB 1 funding will be allocated towards the resurfacing of Hawthorne Drive and Rock
Hill that is anticipated to occur during the Hawthorne Undergrounding in the summer of 2019.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Town Council approve the attached resolution to save all SB 1 funds,
estimated at $177,439, fiscal year 2018-2019 and allocate in the Capital Improvement Plan
budget of fiscal year 2019-20 to fund construction of the Hawthorne Undergrounding Project.

Subject: Recommendation to Award Construction Management Contracts to GHD
In . fpr the 2018 Paving Project and Storm Drain Project
Reviewed By: l�
BACKGROUND
The Town will construct two major projects this summer:
• 2018 Various Streets project—This project will pave thirteen road segments. The construction
cost is estimated at $1.1 million.
• Storm drain projects — This larger project was split into three separate projects to gain more
bidders and better costs. The total construction cost is estimated at$600K.
In January, as these projects were placed out to bid, staff requested proposals from engineering firms
for the construction management of these projects. Staff received proposals from five engineering
consultants although not all consultants provided proposals on both projects.
ANALYSIS
Staff evaluated the proposals and selected GHD Inc. for the construction management work on the 2018
Various Streets project and the Storm drain projects. GHD Inc. brought together the best combination
of project understanding, team experience and project approach to manage these two projects.
The proposed cost for the construction management:
• 2018 Various Streets Overlay Project—$145,456
• Storm drain projects—$74, 356
Construction management costs are based in part on the number of working days for the projects and
based on the working days in the contract. Changes to this by the contractor can reduce costs. For
instance,the 2018 Various Streets Paving Project is scheduled for this summer and has a duration of 55
working days. Recently, Ghilotti Brothers Construction Inc. has asked if they can construct the 2018
Various Streets Overlay Project during spring break. This would involve a very aggressive construction
schedule that only GHD could staff. If this plan moves forward and is successful, it would save a lot
of money on the construction management estimate above by reducing working days.
The storm drain project is still fluid. The project was cut in thirds to get more interested bidders after
the Town received no responsive bidders for a combined project. Given this, the proposal for
Fovvrl t:'osm dl .'ketin"
"Aar"11 21,211 18
construction management of this work is still preliminary, but staff believes the cost proposal will cover
the construction management of the project.
GHD Consultants have a master agreement contract with the Town that covers work doing construction
management. Therefore, this work can be covered by executing task orders in accordance with that
contract.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for construction management for the projects is found in various places in the budget:
• 2018 Various Streets project—The project is listed in the 5-year CIP for 2018/19 when most of
the expense will take place. The amount listed in the 5-year CIP is $175,000. This is sufficient
to cover the proposed cost of$145,456 for the construction management work for this project.
The funds should be brought forward to this fiscal year.
0 Storm drain projects — The Annual Drainage Improvements Project in the 2017/18 CIP was
funded at $1.1 million, with $990,000 remaining after design. This included funding for
construction management. The construction is estimated at$600,000, leaving $390,000 in the
budget for construction management. This is sufficient to cover the proposed cost of$74, 356
for the construction management work for this project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
1. Authorize the Town Manager to execute task orders with GHD Inc. for the
construction management of:
a. 2018 Various Streets project in the mount of$175,000.
b. Storm drain projects in the amount of$74,356.
2. Authorize a budget amendment of$175,000 to fund the construction management of
the 2018 Various Streets project with funds taken from the Street Impact fund.

Subject: Consider Reappointment of Commissioners and Appointments to Fill
Vac cies on Town Boards, Commissions and Committees
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
At the January 17, 2018 regular meeting, Mayor Fraser announced the current and pending
vacancies on Town boards, commissions and committees in the coming year. Pursuant to Town
Council Resolution No. 16-2007 (Appointments Procedure), the Town Clerk published a Notice
of Current & Pending Vacancies on Boards & Commissions in The Ark (1/3, 1/10 and 1/17
editions), and posted it at Town Hall and the Belvedere-Tiburon Library. This notice serves to
inform the public of the current or pending vacancies and invites applications for the positions.
The Town Clerk contacted all the current commissioners whose terms were set to expire in
February, and several of them notified the Town of their interest in seeking reappointment to
another term.
To recap, the terms of the following board and commission members expired on February 28,
2018:
• Building Code Appeals Board—Jerry Thompson (does not seek reappointment)
• Heritage &Arts Commission—Fran Hall (seeks reappointment)
• Heritage &Arts Commission—Azita de Mujica-Beavers (seeks reappointment)
• Heritage &Arts Commission—Vince de Quattro (does not seek reappointment)
• Parks, Open Space and Trails Commission—Park Allen(seeks reappointment)
• Parks, Open Space and Trails Commission—Isaac Nikfar(seeks reappointment; eligible
for automatic reappointment)
• Planning Commission—John Corcoran (seeks reappointment), Jon Welner (resigned
1/18)
Other Vacancies
There are several boards or committees on which there have been vacancies of a year, or more.
One is the Town's Building Code Appeals Board, a five-member board that has had an open seat
since one of the incumbents stepped down in 2015. Board member Jerry Thompson is stepping
down this year, meaning there are now two vacant seats on this board.
The term of the Tiburon Artist Laureate, Jaleh Etemad, expired in August of 2016. The
appointment process for this position is overseen by the Heritage & Arts Commission. The H&A
extended their 2017 year-end deadline for applicants, and are currently accepting applications
until March 31, 2018.
Upcoming Vacancies Later in 2018
The term of Belvedere-Tiburon Library Trustee Ric Postle will expire at the end of June, 2018. In
May, the Town Clerk will determine if Mr. Postle seeks reappointment. The Council will
consider this appointment in June, prior to the end of the term. One application has already been
received for this position.
The term of the Town's Marin-Sonoma Mosquito and Vector Control District Board of Trustees
representative will expire at the end of December, 2018. Ms. Alannah Kinser was appointed to
this seat in 2017, and will have held the seat for less than two years at the time of expiration.
Therefore, Ms. Kinser will be eligible for automatic reappointment.
Tonight's Appointments
Tonight, the Council will first consider reappointment of commissioners whose terms have
expired, and no applications have been received from other members of the public interested in
the appointment to the seats: Fran Hall and Azita de Mujica-Beavers (H&A) and Isaac Nikfar
(POST; eligible for automatic reappointment).
The Council has also interviewed several additional applicants that would like to be considered
for the vacancies on the Planning Commission (2) and the Parks, Open Space and Trails
Commission (1).
There are currently two vacant seats on the Planning Commission. John Corcoran has indicated
he would like to be reappointed to one of the seats, and the Council has also interviewed Roy
Crumrine, Kristina Wollan, Kathleen Defever and Valerie Montague.

REASONS FOR SELECTING
YOUR AREAS OF INTEREST'
I am interested in serving on the Planning Commission due to my deep real estate experience (both
commercial and residential)which I believe is relevant to this commission's focus, and my strong desire to
help maintain and enhance the wonderful and unique qualities that make Tiburon so special. Many of these
qualities, which have inspired and drawn so many of us here to raise our families and make new
connections, are affected and/or influenced by the Town's land use regulations. I spent a lot of time studying
the Tiburon Zoning Ordinance when we rebuilt our home here about six years ago, and recently reviewed the
General Plan including the Updated Housing Element, and I respect the ideas and vision contained therein. I
believe in adhering to these guiding elements, and making common sense amendments if and when they are
sensible, supported by a majority of the Town's residents and elected/appointed leaders, and aim to
strengthen and create greater, healthier, and more fluid connections across our community.
APPLICA&LE QUALIFICATIONS
AND EXPERIENCE
I've lived in the Bay Area nearly 20 years, and moved to Tiburon in 2011 with my husband and two
daughters (now in 1s'and 4'h grade at Reed/Bel Aire). My professional life has been primarily focused on
finance and commercial real estate, including 13 years at Jones Lang LaSalle, one of the world's largest
commercial real estate firms. i am currently a Senior VP/Director at JILL advising real estate owners/investors
such as pension funds, corporations, developers, operators and lenders on their real estate portfolios and
strategy. During this time, I've dealt with a variety of land use and zoning issues between owners and Bay
Area municipalities. I believe the unique combination of my professional background, my strong interest in
the role played by city planning to shape and enhance our daily lives, my hands-on experience developing a
home from the ground up in Tiburon, and my passion for real estate and smart design in general will help me
provide a thoughtful perspective on the issues that the Planning Commission will face in the years ahead. I
continue to serve on the board of my local homeowners association (5+years)with an eye toward improving
our local neighborhood for its residents, and look forward to having a positive impact on our greater Tiburon
community working alongside the Town Council via the Planning Commission. For more details on my work

REASONS FOR SELEcrING
YOUR AREAS OF INTEREST
As a 24 year resident, and an avid reader of the Ark, I would like to
contribute to Tiburon's future. My children are now 18, and lo, and I am at
a point in my career where I have more. free time to devote to serving.
APPLICABLE QUALIFICATIONS
AND EXPERIENCE
My first choice is the Planning Commission.
At UC Berkeley, I got an A in Architecture and was strongly encourage by my
Professor to pursue that Career.
Instead, I went into Business, passing the CPA exam in College; and later
becoming a CPA with Price Waterhouse (now PWC) .
For. fun, I got my real. estate license. This later came in handy when I worked
for Syufy Enterprises, a major commerial real estate developer.
I 'm fluent in Spanish, and I 'm always striving for win-win situations; which I
tope to bring to the Planning Corcunission. Thank you.

Roy Crumrine Application
Additional Information
In addition to the information provided in my application and cover email, I'd like to mention the
following:
I actively follow via the ARK,the local events and issues related to the town. After we purchased our
house on Stewart Drive in 1993, 1 spent many hours at the library reading all the issues of the ARK prior
to October 1993 to get a better understanding of the community we decided to call home. I either
bought or checked out all the Landmark Society books on the history of the Town, Belvedere,and the
history of the Tiburon Peninsula.
Not only has this historical knowledge made me feel more connected to our town; but, over the years,it
has enabled me to share the history with the young Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and with newer residents of
the community.
Over the years, I have occasionally attended Council, Design Review Board, and Planning Commission
meetings. Since I submitted my application for the Planning Commission in July, I would have liked to
have attended a more recent Planning Commission meeting; but, as of today(September 9"'),they have
all been canceled. So,to bring myself more up to speed, I have also read the last 2 years of agendas and
minutes.
Throughout my career,currently Controller for Thunder(an advertising technology company),or my
volunteer activities, I like to be prepared and ready to get to work. Hopefully, I won't have to use the
skills; but,several years ago, I participated in one of the first CERT training classes held in town.
Now that my Boys are older, I have more free time. Since the Town and Real Estate have always been
strong interests of mine, I'd like to serve on the Planning Commission. As both a CPA and having
previously earning a real estate license, I am familiar with both real estate and legal terminology, and
codes and ordinances. I would like to think that my more than 30 years of business experience would
help lead to positive outcomes, and hopefully win-win situations for all parties involved.
Personally,from reading all the minutes, I like the fact that the Planning Commission has a hand in
making decisions that impact the economic development of the town;on top of being involved with
residential matters. Again, I think my business experience,from retail,to start-ups, to multinational
corporations could be helpful to the commission.
Thank you,

Subject: Re:Another Planning Commission Vacancy - More Info
Lea:
Hope all is well.
Last night, I was able to attend the Planning Commission meeting. It was the first one held since July 12 (so during this
application process I haven't had the opportunity to see a recent meeting until now). The meeting was lightly
attended. As far as I know, no other potential candidate (such as Jeff Tsai)was there,just applicants, their supporters,
and neighbors.
It was helpful to see our Planning Commission in action, and to see how the Planning Staff prepares the background and
recornmendations on the meeting agenda items. I reviewed both Staff Reports before the meeting last night.
I didn't plan on speaking; but, from my review of the Staff Report, and my knowledge of the Audubon Center operations, I
felt I had to point out that there would be a lot more cars and traffic at the site when they run their camps. The applicants
omitted this. After I made this comment, the Commissioners were able to speak with the applicant again, and they asked
that more work be done to mitigate the traffic issues when there may be as many as 70 children on the site at one time
(not just the 20 for the preschool).
At the start of the meeting, Lou Weller was thanked for his years of service. It was specifically pointed out that due to him
being a long time resident of the Town, he had a uncanny sense of what the Town's residents' position would be on
various projects before the Commission.
After thinking about it, I realized that long term residency can have a lot of value to the Commission. It was because my
own children have attended the Audubon Camps and because I had been the in the building that they intend to lease to
the preschool that I knew there were going to be a lot more children on the site than the Applicant originally implied.
So, if I had a do-over interview with the Town Council, having attended a recent meeting, and seeing the value of long
term Town knowledge, I would stress that more in my interview.
Another thing that came up in my interview is whether or not I had read the General Plan. I had read it years ago; but, I
didn't wart to represent to the Council members that it was fresh on my mind. However, it seemed to be an important
prerequisite that they were looking for in a candidate.
So, if I had a do-over interview, I would tell them that I have completed rereading through all of the elements of the
General Plan. And, I'd be prepared to answer questions about it.
Please add these comments to my application package; and, if the Council requests, I'd be happy to do another interview
with them.
Regards,
Roy

RE:Application for the Planning Commission Seat
To Whom It May Concern,
I am applying for a volunteer position on the Planning Commission.I am a 55 year old woman
with experience and qualifications that will be of benefit to the Town. I have been admitted to the
Bar for almost 30 years, practiced in law and international accounting firms, served as counsel at
two major U.S. corporations,taught at graduate law and business programs at Bay Area
universities, started my own non-profit organization to benefit children with special needs and
their families, and now manage a portfolio of real estate and other investments as well as avidly
practice my craft as an abstract landscape painter.
In my life, I have owned homes across the country,travelled the world and held many positions
which required me to listen to opposing points of view, analyze data, review compliance with
technical aspects of the law and balance public and private interests, all of which will assist me in
performing my duties as a member of the Planning Commission.
I have a strong understanding of site plans, lot coverage rules,variances and other aspects of
home ownership as I have owned, renovated, and managed numerous homes in upscale
residential communities around the country. My husband and I have owned the house at 662
Hilary Drive in Tiburon for 20 years where we reside and have raised our 23 year old son,who
has developmental disabilities.He teaches me daily to make every day a learning experience and
to always keep an open mind. I have grown over the years to have greater respect for everyone I
meet along the way and appreciate the uniqueness of every individual.
As Tax Counsel at a Fortune 25 company, I analyzed complex transactions and created solutions
after taking into consideration varying points of view while applying relevant aspects of the law.
As Executive Director of a non-profit entity, I advocated for long term planning initiatives that
included community improvement through the integration and inclusion of all types of people. In
these roles and in others I have served, I have balanced individual interests against larger
concerns to find the most appropriate solutions.
I have found that being a fair minded and keen listener assists me whether I am instructing a
person with special needs learn to play tennis or a room full of law students or executives. Each
requires a sound understanding of the rules at play, consideration of different points of view, an
ability to work as a team player and, perhaps most of all, employment of patience and
perseverance.
Based on these qualifications and experiences, I hope you will consider my application to join the
Planning Commission of the Town of Tiburon.
Respect lly submitted,

Kathleen M Defever-Application for Planning Commission 3 118
Reasons for selecting your area of interest:
The Planning Commission is most interesting to me because I am a long-term, big picture thinker-
hence, a natural planner. I enjoy exploring the many elements of a society or community and then
finding solutions and strategies for improvement.
Applicable Qualifications and Experience:
I've been an insurance lawyer for 9 years(after a stint in Federal Criminal Defense). I am a plaintiff's
lawyer, which means I help policyholders obtain their benefits from insurance companies. I handle both
disability and property claims. My work requires great attention to detail, excellent listening skills, and
the ability to both advocate for individuals who have been mistreated and understand the viewpoint of
the other side.To reach settlements or successful jury verdicts, I need to understand not only my clients
and their particular needs, but also the value placed on their claim by the community they reside in.
These skills transfer very well to a role in civil government,where I will need to listen and understand
citizens effectively, as well as work toward solutions which are net positive for the community as a
whole.
My expertise in Property Law will also be very useful for the Planning Commission. I am well-versed on
the rights and regulations connected to property issues.

STAFF PO .
To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council
From: Benjamin Stock, Town Attorney
Subject: Recommendation to Approve Second Amendment to Town Manager's
Employment Agreement
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Town retained Gregory Chanis as the Town Manager pursuant to an Employment Agreement
dated December 22, 2016. Section 5 of the Agreement provides for annual performance reviews.
On January 10, 2018, the Council established an ad hoc subcommittee of Mayor Fraser and
Councilmember Fredericks to the Town Manager Performance Evaluation ad hoc subcommittee.
The Council completed its annual performance review on March 7, 2018 and was very satisfied
with the Manager's performance. The ad hoc subcommittee has recommended the following
adjustments to the Town Manager's agreement based on the Council's evaluation that are
attached hereto as a draft Second Amendment to the Employment Agreement (Exhibit 1).
The Town's compensation policy provides that Town salaries shall be competitive with
comparable positions in the market. Accordingly, the ad hoc subcommittee recommends a 2.7%
cost of living increase in the Town Manager's base salary, and a 4% increase based on excellent
performance. Therefore, the combined base salary increase recommended by the ad hoc
subcommittee is 6.7%.
In addition, the ad hoc subcommittee recommends increasing the housing allowance provided in
the Agreement from $750 per month to $1,000 per month with the continued requirement that
any housing allowance is expressly contingent on the Town Manager residing within the Town
limits. Also, pursuant to provision 10 of the Employment Agreement the ad hoc subcommittee
recommends that the Council provide consent for the Town Manager to invest in real estate
located at 19 Marsh Road.
Finally, the ad hoc subcommittee recommends awarding the Town Manager a retention incentive
in the amount of$2,500.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact of the proposed amendment would be approximately $6,539.00 in the
current fiscal year, but staff believes there are sufficient allocated funds in the current fiscal year
budget to cover this cost, and therefore is not requesting a budget amendment.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve the draft Resolution Approving the Second Amendment to the Manager's
Employment Agreement and authorize the Mayor to execute it on behalf of the Town.

STAFF REPORT
To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council
From: Department of Public Works
Subject: Consid, r Award of Construction Contract for the McKegney Field
Impr ement Project to Bauman Landscape and Construction, Inc.
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
Since Spring 2015, staff has been meeting with representatives of the Tiburon Peninsula Soccer
Club (TPSC), outside consultants, interested residents and Town Council regarding the condition
of McKegney Green and a potential project to upgrade the field. During this process the Council
looked at fifteen design options, and ultimately established four goals for the parameters of the
field design:
1. Convert to potable water for irrigation
2. Reduce the existing crown
3. Utilize Sand based turf field
4. 110,000 square foot size
Due to soil conditions and the requirement to reduce the crown,the size of the field grew to 135,000
square feet during the design. On April 19, 2017, Council agreed to proceed with an estimated
$1.8 million project, with$400,000 of the required funds to come from private sources.
On February 7, 2018, staff provided an update on the project and noted that the project was ready
to bid and the Tiburon Soccer Club guaranteed that the $400,000 would be available at award.
Council authorized staff to put the project out for bid.
The project estimate of $1.8 million includes funds for construction of the field, equipment
purchase, contingency, soft costs and the MMWD water meter. The construction of the field was
estimated at $1,127,345.
Bids for the construction of the field were opened on March 8, 2018. The Town received the
following three bids:
Suarez& Munoz Construction, Inc. $1,392,704.00
Bauman Landscape and Construction, Inc. $1,439,783.00
Star Construction, Inc. $1,579,429.55
At the bid opening it appeared that Suarez & Munoz Construction, Inc was the low bidder with
Bauman Landscape and Construction, Inc. about 3.5% higher. Subsequent to the bid opening,
staff discovered an error on the Bauman bid. The error on the Bauman Landscape and
TOWN OF TiBURON PAGE I OF
Ti)Wil t',0UJ'1ci1 We!i[I
Marc h 21,2018
Construction, Inc. bid appears to be a clerical error resulting in a$51 K reduction in their bid.
Bauman was informed of the error but declined to claim a mistake in bid. When the bid was
corrected in accordance with procedures contained in the contract documents, Bauman was the
low bidder as indicated below. Both Bauman and Suarez& Munoz Construction, Inc. were
informed of this.
Bauman Landscape and Construction, Inc. $1,388,103.00
Suarez& Munoz Construction, Inc. $1,392,704.00
Star Construction, Inc. $1,579,429.55
Suarez & Munoz Construction, Inc. submitted a protest of our intent to award the project to
Bauman on March 15, 2018. The bid protest is attached (Exhibit 1). Staff forwarded this to
Bauman Landscape and Construction, Inc. The Town received a response to the bid protest on
March 16, 2018 (Exhibit 2). Staff will evaluate the protest and response and advise Council at
the meeting.
ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the bids submitted by Bauman Landscape and Construction, Inc and Suarez&
Munoz Construction, Inc. Staff notes that the two low bids were very close and the third low
bidder is within 14% of the low bid. All three contractors are experienced in this type of work.
The project was put out for bid February 8th. Six contractors picked up plans for the project from
our plan room, and staff knows that at least two other contractors considered bidding on the
project. Of these eight contractors only three submitted bids.
Staff heard from one contractor who did not bid. He asked for bids from six different
landscaping subcontractors and heard back from none of them. Another contractor, after
reviewing the project, decided it was largely landscaping work and ultimately did not bid.
Generally, the later in the Spring projects are bid, the less competition there is. Therefore, it is
uncertain re-bidding this project will result in a substantially lower price.
The low bid is 23% ($260,758) above the engineer's estimate for construction. Staff has noted
previously that a project estimate presumes five to six bidders and that, when there are two to
three bidders, prices can be expected to be 10%to 25% above the estimate. Still, the designer
was surprised by the bids. Staff notes that a previous project bid this year with three bidders
came in slightly below engineer's estimate. Also this year, two storm drain projects, each with
the same estimator had one bidder each; one came in at 4% above engineer's estimate while
another project was 50% over engineer's estimate. Based on our recent experience and the
experience of other local municipalities, the current bidding climate remains unpredictable.
Analyzing the individual line items for the low bidder, the additional overage is in soil removal,
stockpiling and rough grading. The cost for these three items alone is $359,500 above the
engineer's estimate for these three items, more than accounting for the difference between the
low bid and the engineer's estimate. However, the second low bidder was only $47,300 over the
engineer's estimate for these same items and the highest bidder was $65,500 over the engineer's
Towel OF TiBURON PAGE 2 of

estimate. In short, what was significantly high for one bidder was lower for another bidder; there
was not a clear pattern in the three bids indicating the cause of the additional cost.
The construction cost is only one part of the total project cost, which is now estimated at
$2,035,763, or approximately $236K (13%) over the budget of$1.8 million. A revised cost
breakdown is shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1 - Cost of McKegney Green Project
Estimate Current Costs
Construction $1,127,345 $1,388,103
Contingency $151,435 $138,810
Meter $312,000 $312,000
Equipment $75,000 $75,000
Construction Management $106,004 $121,850
Misc. (rounding) $28,216
Total $1,800,000 $2,035,763
An explanation of these costs follows:
1. Contingency - Given the potential variability in the project, staff is recommending that a
10% construction contingency is included in the project budget if approved.
2. Meter—This is the current cost estimate for the new water connection from MMWD.
Most of is the cost of water allocation.
3. Equipment—This is the cost of equipment to maintain the field. The $75,000 has always
assumed the purchase of used equipment and staff has recently confirmed that used
equipment should currently be available at this cost. New equipment would be
substantially more expensive if used equipment becomes unavailable when we need to
purchase it. It is important to note that this estimate does not include a new tractor, which
was due to be replaced and never included in the McKegney estimate. This will cost an
additional $54,000 and will be funded through the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund
as part of the FY 2018-19 Budget process.
4. Construction Management— Staff solicited proposals from six consultants for
construction management. After reviewing the project, two consultants stated they could
not properly staff the project. One has yet to submit a proposal indicting a similar staff
problem. Three consultants submitted proposals with estimated costs of$164K and
$169K and $122K. The firm at $122K, mack5, has a construction manager who has the
most experience managing the construction of play fields of any person in any of the firms
that submitted proposals. Staff is therefore recommending this firm be selected for
construction management of the project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The McKegney Field Improvements Project was included in the 2017/18 budget and funded at
$1.8 million, with $400,000 to come from private funds.
ToWN OFTIOURON PAGE 3 OF
Town Council Mceting
marcls 21,2018
The total cost of the construction, including 10% contingency is $1,526,913, with the total
estimated project costs now at$2,036K which is $236K(13%) over the budget estimate of$1.8
million.
At early design, annual maintenance costs were estimated as a$45,000 increase over existing
costs. Since then, the size of the field has increased by about 25% and we now have a better idea
of the costs of materials based on the bids. Staff has refined these numbers and cost increases are
estimated as follows:
Table 3 - Annual Maintenance Costs Increases
Estimate
Staff time (755 hrs.) $33,000
Sand for topdressing $19,000
Seed $2,000
Fertilizer& amendments $8,000
Total $62,000
The projected increase in annual maintenance costs will be included in the proposed FY 2018-19
Operating Budget.
This does not include resodding the field at least every 10 years. The estimate for this was at
least $100,000 or at least $10,000 per year amortized. Given the unit costs in the recent bids and
the size of the field this would be $230,000, or $23,000 per year amortized.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council consider options and provide staff direction for the next
steps in this project. Options include:
1. Award the project to the low responsible and responsive bidder and authorize the Town
Manager to enter into a contract with mack5 for construction management of the project.
Staff hopes to have made a determination regarding the low bidder by the time of the
Council meeting. Staff notes that the two bids are very close and do not have a significant
effect on the overall cost. The project is currently about $236K over the budget of$1.8
million (13%).
2. Put the project back out for bid. Staff is uncertain whether this would result in
substantially lower bids. Rebidding would likely preclude any play on the field this year.
3. Redesign the project. Staff believes the existing project is the best design that meets the
criteria established by Council:
a) Convert to potable water for irrigation
b) Reduce the existing crown
c) Sand based field
d) Minimum 110,000 square foot size
However, changing the above criteria could result in a lower cost project. For example,
not reducing the crown would save on grading and off haul costs. It would also allow the
TOWN OF TIBURON PAGE 4 off=
l own Council Rtcctizi
March 21,018
field to go back to 110,000 SF, which could further lower costs. Alternatively, shrinking
the field even further to 75,000 square feet would reduce the play area, but still allow the
crown to be removed, with adjoining areas sloped back to the existing crown. These
sloped areas would be unplayable, and the field area suitable for play would be reduced
compared to what exists today. These are two possibilities for seeking cost savings by
changing the design criteria. Staff does not know whether a reduced option would result
in a loss of financial support by the Soccer League.
4. Redesign the project as a non-sand turf field. This was an estimated $1 million project
that was to be the fallback position for the Town if funds were not raised by private
parties. While this could reduce the cost of the project by $800,000 it would also result in
a loss of funding of$400,000. Staff notes that a full design and bid have not been done
for this project and the $1 million estimate is an estimate based on very preliminary
numbers.

Re: McKegney Field Improvements
Town of Tiburon Project No.: 18-PK-03
Bid Opened: 3/8/18
Protest of Award
Dear Mr. Barnes,
On 3/8/18 at 2PIvI, the Town of Tiburon received and opened three bids for the IvlcKegney l'ield
finprovement Project, and Suarez & Munoz Construction, Inc (SMC) was publicly disclosed as
the lowest monetary bidder with the bid results read as follows:
1) Suarez & Munoz Construction, Inc.: $1,392,704
2) Bauman Landscape & Construction, Inc.: $1,439,743
3) Star CO1lstruCtl0n, Inc.: $1,545,656
Later that afternoon we received a voicemail from the Town statim that: "SMC was no longer
the apparent lowest bidder and that Bauman Landscape & Construction, file (BLC) is currently
the apparent low bidder."' The Town, later that evcnin&,, posted revised results on their website
(refer to Exhibit A. attached) which revised the total bid by Bl_,C to $1,388,103, makingtheir bili
$4,601 lower than ours.
Upon review of BIX's Bid Proposal, it is clear they made a mistake on filling out.Bid ]tem No. 2
(Demolition, "Turf Removal) by including$20 in the unit 1)1'icC C01u111n, even though this is a
EXHIBIT NO.,,,,_,_____
Lump Sum item. Prior to Addendum#2,the Bid Proposal listed this item as a Unit Price Item,
with an Estimated Quantity of 2,585 CY(refer to Exhibit B, attached). Addendum No. 2
(Exhibit C, attached)changed Bid Item No. 2 from a Unit Price Item to a Lump Sum Item.
The table below shows how Bid Item No. 2 was indicated before and after Addendum#2
Comments Item Description QTY Unit Unit Price Total
Prior to

#2 2 Removal 2,585 CY
After
Addendum Demolition,Turf
#2 2 Removal 1 LS $51,700
After Bid Demolition,Turf
Opening 2 Removal 1 LS �ZO X20
Although BLC used the correct Addendum#2 Bid Form,they appear to have not updated their
internal estimating sheets to reflect Addendum#2,so when filling out the bid they erroneously
entered$20/CY in the Unit Price column(Exhibit D, attached). Their mistake became obvious
when we multiplied the original quantity of 2,585 CY x $20 =$51,700. However, as per
Addendum#2, Item No. 2 is no longer a Unit Price Item, it is a Lump Sum Item. By definition
of a Lump Sum item the Unit Price column should have been written as the same as the Lump
Sum total, or alternatively as"Lump Sum,"or"LS"(using Caltrans standards).
Although the Instructions to Bidders Section 3.02 E states that"discrepancies between the
multiplication of units of work and unit prices will be resolved in favor of the unit prices,"this
case does not involve a discrepancy of units of work and unit prices, since Addendum#2
changed Bid Item to a Lump Sum item, which,by definition, does not have a Unit Price. Bid
Proposal forms for Caltrans for example,have the Unit Price column for Lump Sum items filled
in with the words"Lump Sum"for clarity and to avoid the type of mistake BLC made on this bid
(Exhibit E, attached). Per General Conditions, Section 1.02 A 5,the 2015 Caltrans Standard
Specs are listed as a reference document for this project. Please refer to SMC's bid proposal
(Exhibit G, attached)which has all Lump Sum Unit Price columns filled in as"LS"to avoid the
types of clerical errors that occurred on BLC's Proposal. Also reference Exhibit E, attached,
which shows Caltrans Bid Proposal instructions for Unit Price Items and Lump Sum Items.
The intent of the language in Section 3.02E of the Instructions to Bidders is to resolve obvious
mathematical errors when bidding unit price items. The Town is incorrectly interpreting the
specs in this case since it is clear this is not a mathematical error, i.e. BLC did not think 1 x$20
= $51,700, and they did not intend for it to be 1 x$20=$20. By this same logic, in Addendum
#2,the Town changed Bid Items 21 thru 23 from Lump Sum to Unit Price by changing the unit
column to"Each" from "Lump Sum." If there were no difference between Lump Sum and Per
Each, the Town would not have needed to make this change in Addendum fit (Exhibit C,
attached). The Town did this to avoid a bidder having to perform the abnormal act of
multiplying the L,u►l-rp Sum "quantity" by the Unit Price column. The Town correctly avoided
this by making the changes Bid Items 21 thru?3 in Addendwn 112, but it is now doing precisely
the same abnormal act in its post-bid revision ofBLC's Proposal.
The"Town appears to have erroneously morphed this Lump Sum item into a combination Unit
Price /Lump Sum ltcm and multiplied 1 LS x $20/CY to revise the Lump Sum amount to a total
of$20. 'Twenty Dollars is very obviously not the correct amount for]Demolition and 'Turf
It.emoval of approximately 195,000 Square Foot Field, BLC is a highly respected firm but it is
obvious that the correct amount bid by BLC is what they wrote down as their Lump Sum amount
of$51,700.
If the Town insists on reconstructing BLC's bid by treating the Lump Sum item as a Unit Price
item, this would basically be admitting that there was a material mistake in the bid. Public
Contract Code Section 5103 allows a contractor to withdraw its bid if it made an error"in Filling
out the bid," which would be the case here. If BL,C mistakenly misstated its bid, it could seek
relief by giving the ']'own notice of that mistake. Consequently, 131-Cs ability to withdraw its bid
without forfeiting its bond constitutes an unfair advantage and the Town cannot waive this
irregularity.
A bid of$20 for ail item that should be in the range of$50,000 - $100,000 does not reflect the
reasonable actual costs that BLC anticipates for performance of thus item. Caltrans routinely
rejects unbalanced bids in order to establish a fair bidding environment and avoid the problems
inherent in an Unbalanced bid (Exhibit F, attached). In this example a bid of$20 is a factor of
2,500 — 5,000 times less than the range of the actual 13L.0 bid arul the SMC bid.
Respectfully, we ask that the Town reconsider their initial interpretation of the Instructions to
Bidders, and consider the specific concerns listed in this letter as well, on the grounds of basic
logic, fairness, the requirements of Caltrans, the Public Contract Code and revert to the original
Laid Results at the time of bid. For these reasons we protest award of'this contract to any
contractor other than SMC.
Sincerely,
John Suarez, P.1?.

Dear Mr. Wendel:
Bids on Contract 04-253764 were opened on October 19, 2011. Clear Cut Landscape (CCI_.)
submitted the low bid amount on this contract. As part of the contract award process, the
Department examines the bids submitted to determine whether a bid is materially and /or
mathematically unbalanced to the detriment of the State. In its examination of CCL's bid,the
Department has determined that there is obvious unbalancing as follows:
—Item Second law
No Item Description CCL's Bid Bid
$49,000 $93,770
19Plant Establishment Work (lump sum) (lump sum)
---------------_......._._..,.. _
$112,000 $7,207
26 Mobilization (lump sum) (lump sum)
Based on the information above,the Department finds:
1. CCL's bid price for Item 19 and 26 is not reasonable conformance with the other
bids.
2. This project is an environmental mitigation project, and successful plant
establishment work is critical to achieve good plant establishment and cover and is
necessary for compliant report to permitting agencies.
3. Awarding this contract to CCL would be unfair to the other bidders who developed
their bids (on item 19 and 26) based on realistic labor and material costs involved in
the items.
"C'alUaits iurynoves ntitliltn'<reros.�Ctrlt(nnuu.,
Mr. Wendel
November 17, 2011
Page 2
Based on the above, the Department determines that CCUs bid is materially unbalanced,
The Department therefore rejects CCL's bid in conformance with Section 2-1.10,
"Disqualification of Bidders", of the Standard Specifications.
The Department will be returning this project to the District for re advertisement since there
are no qualified bidders. If you have any questions, please contact Loren Newell, Contract
Awards Branch Chief, at (916) 227-6285.

RE: McKegney Field Improvements,Town of Tiburon- Response to Bid Protest by Suarez&Munoz
Mr. Barnes,
Bauman Landscape and Construction Inc. is in receipt of the bid protest filed by Suarez and Munoz for the McKegney
Field Improvements. The following is our response: In the Instruction to Bidders,section 3.02E, it clearly states that unit
prices prevail over totals. Bauman Landscape does not plan on claiming any errors in our bid and is comfortable with
our total bid.
Suarez and Munoz reference Caltrans specifications in their protest, however specification section 014100 Regulatory
Requirements,section 1.02 B, clearly states that the contract specifications take precedence over any other document.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to call us.

Tiburon, CA 94920 Agenda Item: PH-1
STAFF REPORT
To: Mayor and Members of Town Council
From: Town Manager
Town Attorney
Subject: Vir inia Undergrounding District-Public Hearing and Ballot Tabulation
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
In 2017, property owners on a portion of Virginia Drive submitted petitions to form a utility
undergrounding district(The District). A boundary map of The District is attached as Exhibit 1.
On May3, 2017 the Town Council unanimously passed Resolution No. 10-2017 which, in
addition to indicating Town's intent to form The District, did the following:
• Approved the Preliminary Boundary Map for The District
• Appointed Stradling, Yocca, Carlson and Routh as Bond Counsel, and Samuel Sperry as
advisory Bond Counsel for The District
• Appointed Harris and Associates as Assessment Engineer for the project.
• Directed the Assessment Engineer to prepare a Preliminary Engineer's Report with certain
information including the following:
o Preliminary plans and specifications for the improvements.
o An estimate of the costs of the improvements.
o The proposed assessment to each of the parcels within The District based on the
direct and special benefit received by each parcel from the improvements.
o The assessment diagram depicting the boundaries of The District and the parcels
to be assessed.
On January 7, 2018, Council considered the Draft Preliminary Engineer's Report for the project.
After receiving a staff presentation, conducting a public hearing and deliberating, Council
adopted Resolution No. 03-2018, which approved the Preliminary Engineer's Report and fixed
March 21, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall as the time and place of hearing protests and
objections to The District as proposed and count the ballots for and against the proposed
assessments to be levied. A copy of the adopted Resolution from the January 7, 2018 meeting is
attached hereto as Exhibit 2.
Consistent with Resolution No 03-2018, the Town Clerk caused notice to be given of the time
and place of tonight's hearing. Likewise, the Town Clerk caused the mailing of the proposed
March 71,201
assessments and ballots to the Property Owners on January 26, 2018, more than the required 45
days prior to tonight's hearing. For ballots received prior to tonight's public hearing, the Town
Clerk has kept such ballots in a secure location, and they have not been opened. Finally,
consistent with the Town's adopted policy, on March 5, 2018, the Town, Sperry Capital, and the
Assessment Engineer met with the property owners to provide an update on project, and to
discuss financing of the proposed improvements.
DISCUSSION
After the January 7, 2018 meeting, the District Engineer prepared the Final Engineer's Report,
and attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is the Final Engineer's Report that sets forth the description of
the improvements to be constructed, the cost estimate, the assessment for each parcel, the
boundary map and the assessment diagram. At tonight's meeting, the Council will open the
public hearing to listen to any public comment for or against the District and will then announce
prior to the close of the public hearing that any remaining votes, or requests to change previously
submitted voted, be submitted to the Town Clerk. Upon the close of the public hearing,property
owners will no longer be able to vote on the District, and the Council will call for the tabulation
of ballots. The Town Clerk will open and count the ballots, with ballots being weighted on
dollars assessed. If based on the ballots cast and the required weighting of the ballots the
majority of the votes are against the proposed assessments, the proceedings must be abandoned,
and the Council will adopt the Resolution Declaring the Abandonment of Proceedings attached
hereto as Exhibit 4.
If there is no majority protest, and the Council concurs with the assessments, the Council will
adopt the Resolution Confirming Assessments attached hereto as Exhibit 5. The Town will then
promptly record a notice of assessment for all of the individual parcels assessed and there will be
a 30-day opportunity for any property owner to prepay their assessment. There will also be a
second 30-day period to prepay assessments which will occur immediately prior to the sale of the
bonds.
ENVIRONMENTAL
This project was deemed categorically exempt under CEQA and filed September 22, 2017.
RECOMMENDATION
After hearing a presentation from staff and answering any questions, Council should open the
public hearing to allow public testimony on this item. Upon closing the public hearing, the
Council should direct the Town Clerk to tabulate the ballots. If a majority protest is received, the
Council must adopt the attached Resolution Declaring the Abandonment of Proceedings for
Assessment District No. 2017-2. If there is no majority protest, the Council has the following
options:
1. Move forward with the District by adopting the Resolution Making Determinations,
Confirming Assessments and Proceedings and Designating the Superintendent of Streets
to Collect and Receive Assessments and to Establish a Special Fund for Town of Tiburon
Assessment District No. 2017-2 (Virginia Undergrounding District);

Part I
Description of Improvements
The following provides a description of the public improvements proposed to be constructed, installed
or acquired under the provisions of the Act as shown on the Preliminary Plans on file in the office of
the Town Engineer.
The project includes the construction of the public improvements, including all planning, design,
construction administration and general administration services,the acquisition of all necessary rights
of way, the acquisition of licenses, franchises and permits and the construction of all auxiliary work
necessary and/or convenient to the accomplishment thereof, in accordance with the final plans and
specifications to be approved by the Town of Tiburon prior to the start of construction. The
construction of the public improvements may be phased as necessary and convenient for the Town of
Tiburon. Phasing will be undertaken in a manner that results in a complete and functional portion of
each system described below.
The following improvements are proposed to be constructed and installed in the general location
referred to as the Town of Tiburon Assessment District No. 2017-2 (Virginia Undergrounding
District) (the"Assessment District")and will include:
1. Construction of mainline underground power,telephone and cable conduit, with appurtenant
manholes, pull boxes and surface-located transformers and like structures.
2. Construction of service conduit and appurtenances to property line.
3. Installation of new conductor within said conduit and underground structures by the utility
companies.
4. Removal of existing overhead power,telephone and cable wires and poles.
The improvements will be designed by PG&E, AT&T, Comcast, and the Town of Tiburon (joint
trench).The Town of Tiburon will inspect the work to ensure conformance to Town ordinances,rules,
warrants, regulations, standards and specifications where applicable.
Each owner of property located within the Assessment District will be responsible for arranging for
and paying for work on his or her property necessary to connect facilities constructed by the public
utilities in the public streets and alleys to the points of connection on the private property. Conversion
of individual service connections on private property is not included in the work to be funded by the
Assessment District.
The estimated time for completion of the undergrounding of the utilities is 24 months after the
formation of Assessment District. Construction is estimated to begin approximately 12 months after
the formation of the Assessment District. Property owners will be required to provide necessary
underground connections within 120 days of the completion of the underground facilities.

Part III
Method of Assessment Spread and Assessment Roll
Since the improvements are to be funded by the levying of assessments,the"Municipal Improvement
Act of 1913"(the"Act")and Article XIIID of the State Constitution require that assessments be based
on the special benefit that the properties receive from the works of improvement. Section 4 of Article
XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable and the local agency levying the assessment
must separate the general benefits from the special benefits. In addition, Section 4 requires that a
parcel's assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred
on that parcel. Neither the Act nor the State Constitution specifies the method or formula that should
be used to apportion the costs to properties in any special assessment district proceedings.
The responsibility for recommending an apportionment of the costs to properties which specially
benefit from the improvements rests with the Assessment Engineer,who is appointed for the purpose
of making an analysis of the facts and determining the correct apportionment of the assessment
obligation. In order to apportion the assessments to each parcel within the boundaries of the
assessment district in an amount which does not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special
benefit which it will receive from the improvements, an analysis has been completed and is used as
the basis for apportioning costs to each parcel within the Assessment District.
The approval of the assessments rests with the Town Council. The Council renders its decision after
hearing testimony and evidence presented at a public hearing and tabulating the assessment ballots,
which are mailed to all record owners of property within the Assessment District. Only ballots
delivered to the Town Clerk prior to the close of the public hearing are tabulated. The Council's
findings must include a determination the assessment spread is consistent with the requirements of
Article XIIID with the assessment on each parcel being proportional to and not greater than the special
benefits received by such parcel.
The following sections set forth the methodology used to apportion the costs of the improvements to
each parcel.
SEPARATION OF GENERAL AND SPECIAL BENEFIT
Under Article XIIID, only special benefits may be assessed, and it is the responsibility of the
Assessment Engineer to identify, quantify, and exclude general benefits from the assessment that is
apportioned to parcels in proportion to the special benefit they will receive from the improvements.
As stated in the "Proposition 218 Guide for Special Districts" prepared by the California Special
Districts Association, the requirement that a public agency separate the general benefits from the
special benefits helps ensure that the special benefit requirement is met. As defined in Article XIIID,
"special benefit"means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on
real property located in the district or to the public at large.

Assessment District No.2017.2(Virginia Undergrounding District)
Engineer's Report Page 10
The benefits associated with the undergrounding of overhead utilities are related to increased
reliability, removal of obstructions to view, improved neighborhood aesthetics, and enhanced safety
within the Assessment District and potentially for areas outside of the Assessment District. The
specific location and nature of the undergrounding project will determine if the benefits are a"general
benefit"or provide a "special benefit"to parcels within the Assessment District, or a combination of
both.
GENERAL BENEFIT
Because of the localized nature of the improvements within the Assessment District and the small
number of parcels that will be impacted by the undergrounding of the existing overhead utilities along
Virginia Drive, which provides ingress/egress to the parcels within the District, the Assessment
Engineer has determined the benefits described in the following section represent special benefits that
are conferred on parcels within the Assessment District, and that there are no "general benefits"that
will be conveyed to parcels outside the boundaries of the Assessment District, or to the public at large
as a result of the undergrounding of the overhead utilities within the Assessment District. This
determination is based upon the findings below:
• Aesthetics Benefit. The Assessment Engineer has determined that there are no aesthetic
benefits which represent general benefit or benefits to the public at large. This is based upon
the fact that the utility poles and overhead facilities that will be undergrounded are located
along Virginia Drive which is a local street that only serves the parcels within the Assessment
District. The removal of the overhead utilities and poles will only provide an aesthetic benefit
for the parcels within the District which the Assessment Engineer has determined represents a
special benefit to those parcels, and that there is no general benefit to parcels outside of the
District related to aesthetics.
• Enhanced Reliability Benefit. The Assessment Engineer has determined that there is no
general benefit that will be conveyed to parcels outside of the Assessment District, or to the
public at large related to enhanced reliability since the utilities being undergrounded only serve
the parcels within the Assessment District.Any interruption of service in the overhead utilities
which will be undergrounded will not impact parcels that are outside of the District.
■ Removal of Obstructions to View. The Assessment Engineer has determined that there is no
general benefit to parcels not within the Assessment District related to the removal of
obstructions to view. Given the elevation of the parcels outside of the Assessment District,the
existing overhead utilities along Virginia Drive do not obstruct views towards Richardson Bay
to a degree which would impact the desirability of parcels outside of the district to a potential
purchaser.
■ Safety Benefit. The safety benefit related to the undergrounding of the overhead facilities
within the Assessment District is a result of the removal of the fixed obstructions (existing
power poles, guy wires and related facilities) from the right-of-way, and the mitigation of the
potential delay by emergency responders that will neither cross a downed power line nor set
up equipment if an overhead utility line is in the way until it has been de-energized. In addition,
the threat to structures or property being damaged by downed utility lines and poles caused by
Harris& Associates
Town of Tiburon February 5,2018
Assessment District No.2017-2(Virginia Undergrounding District)
Engineer's Report Page 11
earthquakes, high winds and other unforeseeable events is reduced by the undergrounding of
the existing overhead utilities. The Assessment Engineer has determined that there is no
general benefit to parcels outside of the Assessment District or to the public at large related to
the safety benefit of undergrounding the existing overhead utilities since the roadways only
serve the residents within the District and the existing overhead utilities could not impact
parcels not within the District if a power pole were to be hit by a vehicle or otherwise be
damaged.
SPECIAL BENEFITS
While the courts have found that a general enhancement of property value does not constitute"special
benefit"(Silicon Valley Taxpayers'Ass'n v. Santa Clara Cnty. Open Space Authority) if an assessment
district is narrowly drawn so that parcels that benefit in a way that is particular and distinct from parcels
outside of the district, or the public at large they are deemed to receive a special benefit. Specifically,
the undergrounding of existing overhead utilities adjacent to parcels provides a particular and distinct
benefit to those parcels that is not realized by other parcels or to the public at large. The courts have
found that the characterization of a benefit(special vs.general)may depend on whether parcels within
a district receive a direct advantage from the improvement based upon their proximity to the
improvement, or receive an "indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits
of the improvement" (e.g., general enhancement of the district's property values).
There are four (4) types of special benefit that parcels may receive as a result of the proposed
replacement of the existing overhead utility facilities (power, telephone, and cable facilities) with
underground facilities.
■ Aesthetics Benefit. All of the parcels within the Assessment District will specially benefit
from the removal of the overhead wires and utility poles serving the parcels within the
boundaries of the Assessment District, including the removal of guy wires and other support
structures related to the overhead facilities. The improvements will enhance the aesthetics of
the streetscape by removing the physical and visual impediments related to the existing
overhead utilities within the right-of-way along the local streets, and will improve the visual
environment for properties within the Assessment District. In addition, the removal of the
overhead utilities within the Assessment District will bring the area surrounding each parcel
closer to current development standards,which require that all utilities be placed underground.
The undergrounding of the overhead utilities within the Assessment District will increase the
desirability of the parcels to a potential purchaser when compared to a similar parcel served by
overhead wires and utility poles.
■ Removal of Obstructions to View. The removal of the existing overhead utilities along
Virginia Drive will provide a special benefit to parcels within the Assessment District that will
vary in proportion to the impact the existing overhead utilities and poles have on the view from
within structures or from outdoor living areas looking towards Richardson Bay. The special
benefit will also vary based upon impact of the existing overhead utilities. The removal of
obstructions from the existing overhead utilities for parcels on the north side of Virginia Drive
will enhance their views of Richardson Bay. Those parcels along the south side of Virginia
Drive will not receive a view benefit from the removal of the overhead utilities since their view
of Richardson Bay is from the rear of their parcels and not affected by the overhead utilities.
Harris&Associates
Town of Tiburon February 5,2018
Assessment District No.2017.2(Virginia Undergrounding District)
Engineer's Report Page 12
■ Enhanced Reliability Benefit. The installation of all new wires and new equipment
installed underground within the Assessment District will reduce the frequency of service
interruptions to parcels within the Assessment District due to the increased reliability of
the upgraded facilities. Parcels which have not already undergrounded their service will
also see a reduction in outages related to damages to their individual service lines which
will be required to be replaced to connect to the new underground services. As a result,
each parcel within the Assessment District will receive a special benefit related to enhanced
reliability from the undergrounding of the existing overhead utilities within the Assessment
District that is not received by parcels outside of the District.
■ Safety Benefit. The undergrounding of the overhead facilities along Virginia Drive within the
District will specially benefit parcels in two ways from a safety perspective. The first relates
to the elimination of the threat to structures or property including any occupants within from
being damaged or harmed by downed utility lines and poles caused by earthquakes,high winds
and other unforeseeable events. The second relates to the removal of the fixed obstructions
from the right-of-way and the potential delay by emergency responders that will neither cross
a downed power line nor set up equipment if an overhead utility line is in the way until it has
been de-energized.
As described in the Methodology section below, not all parcels receive these benefits to the same
extent based upon their location in proximity to the existing overhead utilities.
To establish the special benefit each individual parcel within the Assessment District receives in
relation to the other parcels within the Assessment District, a Benefit Point system is used. Each
parcel of land is assigned benefit points in proportion to the estimated special benefit a parcel receives
relative to the other parcels within the Assessment District from the utility undergrounding activities.
The parcels within the Assessment District are entirely developed for residential use. Benefit points
have been assigned to each residential parcel based upon its current use and the benefit which it
receives from the undergrounding of the existing overhead utilities as discussed below.
■ Aesthetics Benefit. All residential parcels within the Assessment District that have their
primary ingress/egress along streets where the existing overhead utilities adjacent to their
parcel frontage(along either side of the street)will be undergrounded will benefit equally from
the undergrounding of the existing overhead utilities. Each parcel which has existing overhead
utilities adjacent to its frontage is assigned one (1) benefit point for each existing or potential
dwelling unit which could be constructed on the parcel. Those parcels where the existing
overhead utilities do not front the parcel but which receive utility services from the existing
overhead utilities within the Assessment District and must use the street(s)where the existing
utilities will be undergrounded will receive one-half benefit point(1/2)since they are impacted
to a lesser degree by the existing overhead utilities.
■ Removal of Obstructions to View. The removal of obstructions to view looking towards
Richardson Bay will provide a special benefit to the parcels on the north side of Virginia Drive
based upon the location of the existing overheard utilities that will be undergrounded. The
level of benefit a parcel receives is based on the following definitions.

Assessment District No.2017.2(Virginia Undergrounding District)
Engineer's Report Page 13
o High (1.0). The current view of Richardson Bay from within the dwelling or from
outside living areas is significantly obstructed by the presence of the existing
overhead utilities located adjacent to the parcel and will be improved by the removal
and undergrounding of the existing overhead utilities.
o Medium (0.5). The current view of Richardson Bay from within the dwelling or
from outside living areas is only partially obstructed by the presence of the existing
overhead utilities and will be improved by the undergrounding of the existing
overhead utilities.
o Low(0.25). The current view of Richardson Bay from within the dwelling or from
outside living areas is minimally obstructed by the presence of the existing overhead
utilities and will be minimally improved by the undergrounding of the existing
overhead utilities.
o None (0.0). The existing overhead utilities that will be undergrounded are not
visible from within the dwelling or from outside living and their removal will not
provide a special benefit to the parcel from the removal of the obstruction to view.
■ Safety Benefit. Parcels within the District will benefit from the elimination of potential
property damage from downed utility lines and poles, the removal of the fixed obstructions
from the right-of-way, and the mitigation of the potential for delay by emergency responders
that will neither cross a downed power line nor set up equipment if an overhead utility line is
in the way until it has been de-energized. Each parcel that has its point of ingress/egress along
the street with overhead utilities adjacent to the parcel frontage that will be undergrounded is
assigned one (1) benefit point for the special benefit related to safety. Parcels which do not
have overhead utilities adjacent to the parcel frontage and whose ingress/egress would not be
impacted in the event of downed power lines,but where the utility pole or utility lines providing
service to the parcel could impact structures on the parcel are assigned one-half(1/2)a benefit
point since they receive a reduced benefit. This is because structure; or occupants could still
be damaged from downed utility lines and poles which are located near the corner of the parcel,
but they do not receive a special benefit related to the mitigation of potential delays by
emergency responders as a result of the downed utility lines since access is still possible even
in the event of downed poles or utility lines. Parcels which do not have overhead utilities
adjacent to the parcel frontage and whose ingress/egress would not be impacted in the event of
downed power lines, and where downed utility poles or lines would not damage structures on
the parcel are assigned zero(0)benefit points since they do not receive a safety benefit.
■ Enhanced Reliability Benefit. All parcels within the District that receive services from the
existing overhead utilities or which would be impacted by a service outage of the existing
overhead utilities within the District will specially benefit from the enhanced reliability of
service due to having all new wires and equipment underground, and the intelligent
technology which minimizes the number of parcels impacted by a service outage. Each parcel
is assigned one (1)benefit point for enhanced reliability.

ASSESSMENT APPORTIONMENT
The special benefit allocated to parcels within the Assessment District is based upon a weighting of
the benefits as shown below:
Aesthetics Benefit 50%
Safety Benefit 10%
Enhanced Reliability Benefit 10%
View Enhancement Benefit 30%
The weighting shown is based upon the judgement and experience of the Assessment Engineer and
the degree to which each of the factors contributes to the special benefit realized by each parcel within
the Assessment District. The Aesthetics and View Enhancement Benefits were given the highest
weighting since the special and direct benefit received by parcels will increase the desirability of
parcels to a potential purchaser and increase property values. Parcels also receive a direct and special
benefit related to the Safety and Enhanced Reliability Benefits, but they were assigned a lower
weighting since the desirability of parcels or the increase in property value is not as significantly tied
to those benefits.
The amount of special benefit allocated to each parcel within the Assessment District that receives
a special benefit, has been apportioned to each parcel in proportion to the benefit points assigned
to the parcel as a percentage of the total benefit points for each benefit factor. The assessment on
a parcel does not exceed the costs of the proportional special benefit conferred on the parcel.
There are no publically owned parcels within the boundaries of the Assessment District.
Incidental Expenses and Financial Costs have been assessed to the entire Assessment District on a pro
rata basis relative to the total construction cost allocations.
The benefit points assigned to each parcel and the preliminary assessment by parcel are provided in
Exhibit 1 which is attached.

Subject: Amendments to Tiburon Municipal Code: Consider Amending Chapter 25 of
the Municipal Code to Delete Sections 25-4 and 25-5 Regarding Unlawful
Juvenile Gatherings; Repeal and Replace Chapter 22 (Minors) of the Tiburon
Municipal Code with a New Chapter 22 (Minors and Social Host
untability); Town File#MCA2018-0 l
Reviewed By: �
BACKGROUND
This proposed ordinance would update the Town's existing regulations regarding parties,
gatherings or events at which alcohol is served to persons under 21 years of age, and would
consolidate these provisions with other regulations in the Municipal Code that relate to minors.
The proposed ordinance would also expand the provisions to include prohibitions on the
consumption of marijuana and controlled substances by persons under the age of 21 at such
parties, gatherings or events.
Although drinking alcoholic beverages is illegal for people under the age of 21, parties involving
underage drinking and drug use present a significant danger to young people and the community
due to the risks associated with intoxicated driving. The gatherings occur both with and without
parents' knowledge or consent.
The purpose of"Social Host Ordinances" is to address the problem of underage parties where
drinking and/or drug use occurs. Such ordinances hold adults responsible for any youth drinking
that occurs on their property, whether or not the adults are present. The ordinances are enforced
by local law enforcement, and penalties consist of a series of escalating fines.
The Town adopted its first social host-type ordinance in 1992. By 2009, every Marin
municipality and the County of Marin had adopted some form of social host ordinance. Tiburon's
current Social Host Ordinance (codified as Municipal Code Sections 25-4 and 25-5) and entitled
"Unlawful Juvenile Gatherings", broadly prohibits all parties or gatherings where alcohol is being
consumed by a minor. A violation of this section is an infraction with a fine of$100.00 for the
first offense, $200.00 for a subsequent offense within one year, and $500.00 for subsequent
offenses within the same year. Additionally, Section 25-5 permits the police department to
recover the actual costs of police response for any additional response to a gathering beyond an
initial contact.

Town.Council Mecting
March 21,2018
With the recent state-wide legalization of marijuana use for recreational purposes by adults, many
Marin jurisdictions are updating their social host ordinance provisions to include marijuana and
controlled substances. Recent experience dictates the necessity to also consider the prohibition of
juvenile parties, gatherings or events in vehicles such as party buses, motor homes, mobile
homes, and limousines, and in hotels or on rented property, when alcohol, marijuana or controlled
substances are consumed.
ANALYSIS
In brief summary, the proposed ordinance (Exhibit 1)would amend the municipal code by:
1. Adding use of marijuana and any controlled substances to the existing alcohol prohibition.
2. Adding new locales in which an unlawful juvenile party, gathering, or event will be
prohibited to include: party buses, limousines, motor homes and mobile homes, hotels, and
rented properties.
3. Adding the potential for referral to the "restorative justice program" of the Juvenile Probation
Department for persons less than 18 years of age found to be participating in a party,
gathering or event in violation of the Ordinance.
4. Relocating the social host ordinance provisions from Chapter 25 (Offenses---Miscellaneous)
to Chapter 22 (Minors and Social Host Accountability) to be grouped with other Municipal
Code provisions regarding juveniles and minors.
The proposed amendments also contain non-substantive changes in existing ordinance provisions
regarding minors, including curfew provisions, and in consistency of use of defined terms. With
respect to social host provisions, the proposed amendments provide the following new elements:
Marijuana and Controlled Substances
The recent legalization of marijuana has increased its availability and may reinforce the idea that
it is a"harmless" substance. Additionally,teen use of controlled substances such a prescription
drugs, including Oxycodone and Norco continues to rise. The amendments to the Social Host
regulations seek to prevent teen drug use by prohibiting parties where (in addition to alcohol),
marijuana and controlled substances are consumed by people under the age of 21 years.
Unlawful "Party, Gathering, or Event"Includes Buses and Rental Properties, etc.
Unlawful youth parties occur not only in residences, but also in party buses and limousines,
motor and mobile homes, hotels, and rented properties. In a widely reported case in 2016, police
officers stopped a rental bus at the Larkspur Ferry Terminal that contained 33 minors between the
ages of 15 and 17, along with 30 containers of hard alcohol, marijuana, and various prescription
drugs. To address this aspect of the issue, the ordinance amendments prohibit gatherings on
buses and limousines and in rental properties at which alcohol, marijuana or controlled
substances are consumed by underage individuals.
Juveniles Accountable for Hosting Unlawful Parties
The proposed ordinance amendments clarify that both adults and minors may be held responsible
for hosting an unlawful party. If the minor is not emancipated, then the parents or legal guardians
will be held liable for any penalties.

March 21,2018
Restorative Justice Program
Restorative justice programs utilize peer-to-peer communication, accountability strategies, and
parent participation in an effort to reduce recidivism and prevent future illegal activity. These
programs are useful in encouraging an underage violator to learn from the experience. The
proposed amendments provide that the Chief of Police or his designee may require a violator who
is under the age of 18 years to participate in a restorative justice program that is accredited by the
Marin Superior Court and the Director of the Marin County Department of Health and Human
Services. The participation would be required in lieu of a fine.
Definitions
New or revised definitions for"minor", "alcohol", "alcoholic beverage", "marijuana", "party,
gathering or event", "controlled substance", "underage person", "police services", "responsible
person", "restorative justice program", and"threat to the public peace, health, safety or general
welfare".
Existing Municipal Code provisions being amended or replaced are attached as Exhibit 2.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No substantive financial impacts are anticipated.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The proposed amendments are covered by the general rule that the California Environmental
Quality Act(CEQA) applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant
effect on the environment pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). It can be clearly
seen that the proposed amendments have no potential to cause a significant impact on the
environment.
RECOMMENDATION
1. That the Town Council conducts a public hearing and considers the proposed
ordinance.
2. Initiate a motion to read the ordinance by title only. If the motion is seconded and
passed, the Mayor will read aloud the full title of the proposed ordinance.
3. Initiate a motion to approve by a roll call vote the first reading of the ordinance and to
wave all future reading of the ordinance. If the motion is seconded and passed,the
proposed ordinance would return for adoption at the next regular meeting of the Town
Council.

10 SECTION 1. Findings.
11
12 (A)With respect to the adoption of Article I set forth herein, the Town Council of the Town
13 of Tiburon finds as follows:
14 1. Loitering by minors during the late hours of the night increases the likelihood of
15 criminal activity by and against the young people of the City. Such loitering therefore
16 represents a threat to the health, safety, and general welfare of the City, and to the
17 welfare of its youth.
18 2. Reasonable restrictions on late-night loitering by minors in the City will reduce
19 criminal activity by and against youth, enhancing the health, safety, and general
20 welfare of the City's residents.
21 3. It is the intent of the City Council to allow minors under the age of eighteen to move
22 about freely while participating in legitimate activities, and to pursue legitimate
23 activities during the hours specified in Section 9.06.020 with the permission of his or
24 her parent, guardian, or other adult person having the lawful care and custody of the
25 minor.
26 4. The Town Council finds that the provisions contained in Article I are in large part a
27 restatement and re-codification of existing ordinance provisions adopted by the
28 Council in 1964.
29 (B)With respect to the adoption of Article II set forth herein, the Town Council of the Town
30 of Tiburon finds and declares as follows:
31 1. Underage drinking is directly involved in the deaths of approximately 5,000 youths
32 under the age of 21 every year nationwide.
33 2. A 2007 Surgeon's General's Call to Action reports that alcohol use may alter
34 adolescents' development and put them at a higher risk for long-lasting, detrimental
35 effects on the developing brain.
36 3. State law now allows the use of marijuana by adults age 21 and over, and data is
37 available indicating marijuana use by minors is increasing.
38 4. Minors obtain, possess, or consume alcohol, marijuana and/or controlled substances
39 at private parties held on private property that are under the control of an adult or
40 "social host" who knows, or should know, of such conduct but fails to stop it.
41 5. Town of Tiburon Municipal Code provisions regarding Social Host Accountability
42 were first adopted in 1992 in order to reduce underage access to alcohol by holding
43 adults responsible for hosting youth gatherings where alcohol is present.
44 6. Unlawful youth gatherings with alcohol and controlled substances not only occur in
45 homes, but also in other private property including rented halls and facilities, and
46 rented vehicles.

p, L ®� "I
47 7. The Town of Tiburon wishes to discourage minors from using alcohol and other
48 controlled substances, and prevent unlawful minor gatherings with alcohol and other
49 controlled substances wherever they occur.
50 8. The Town of Tiburon wishes to add a restorative justice component to its regulations
51 for offenders under the age of 18 in order to encourage rehabilitation.
52 9. The consumption of alcohol, controlled substances and/or marijuana by
53 persons under the age of 21 years is unlawful and presents a danger to the
54 well-being of the underage persons consuming alcohol and those persons
55 coming into contact with such persons.
56 10. A party or gathering is not properly supervised or controlled and presents a
57 threat to the public safety, health, and welfare when the person owning or
58 controlling the premises suffers or permits any person under the age of 21
59 years to consume alcohol, controlled substances, and/or marijuana.
60 11. Any party or gathering where persons under the age of 21 years are
61 consuming alcohol, controlled substances, and/or marijuana constitutes a
62 potential hazard for those present at the event and those who might come into
63 contact with any such underage persons after said persons leave the event and
64 enter the public realm.
65 12. Control by the police of parties or gatherings where alcohol, controlled
66 substances, and/or marijuana is being consumed by persons under the age of
67 21 years is necessary when such activity is determined to be a threat to the
68 peace, health, safety, or general welfare of the public.
69 13. The occurrence of parties or gatherings at which persons under the age of 21
70 years consume alcohol, controlled substances, and/or marijuana contributes to
71 an increase in alcohol and other substance abuse, driving under the influence,
72 excessive noise, traffic, and vandalism within the neighborhood or area of the
73 party or gathering, and threatens public safety by increasing the risks of
74 alcohol, controlled substance, and/or marijuana-related incidents causing
75 personal injury and/or death.
76 14. Police responses associated with dispersing parties and gatherings where
77 alcohol, controlled substances, and/or marijuana is consumed by persons
78 under the age of 21 years and/or controlling participants at such events causes
79 a shift of police staffing and resources and diverts police resources from other
80 law enforcement activities that are necessary to protect the public safety and
81 welfare.
82 15. Current State law prohibiting conduct that contributes to the delinquency of a
83 minor does not address liability for allowing the consumption of alcohol,
84 controlled substances, and/or marijuana by persons who are 18 years of age or
85 older on premises under the control of an adult.
86
87 (C)With respect to the adoption of this Ordinance generally, the Town Council of the Town
88 of Tiburon finds as follows:
89 1. The Town Council held a duly noticed public hearing on March 21, 2018 to consider
90 the adoption of this Ordinance, and considered all information and public input
91 received.

92 2. Based upon the findings above, the Town Council finds that adoption of this
93 Ordinance is necessary for the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.
94 3. The Town Council finds the adoption of this Ordinance consistent with the goals and
95 policies of the Tiburon General Plan and in furtherance of its objectives.
96 4. The Town Council finds that adoption of this Ordinance is categorically exempt from
97 the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA") under CEQA Guideline
98 15061(b)(3) (common sense exemption), because it can be seen with certainty that
