TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Heather Abrams, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to prepare and submit the Fiscal Year 22-23 work plan to Marin County for the use of the Town’s Measure A park funds _________________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Town Manager to prepare and submit the FY22-23 work plan for Measure A funds to the County of Marin based on the approved allocations.
DISCUSSION
Measure A is the one-quarter of one-percent sales tax first approved by Marin County voters in 2012 and again in June 2022. As a condition of receiving the funds, the Town must submit a work plan to the County of Marin detailing the proposed uses of the funds. Fairfax’s Measure A Advisory Committee (Committee) meets annually to recommend allocations for the upcoming year.
The Measure A Advisory Committee met on June 27th to discuss the allocation of funds including the carryover of funds from previous years. For FY22-23, the County estimates Fairfax will receive approximately $26,500 in Measure A sales tax revenue. The attached Work Plan Form shows the total allocations (both carryover Measure A funds and new funds estimated).
The Measure A Advisory Committee consists of:
• 2 Town Councilmembers: Councilmembers Coler and Goddard • 2 Fairfax Open Space members: Susan Pascal Beran, Jack Judkins • Fairfax Parks and Rec Commission representative: Chris Borjian (Sisi Parry-Hansen filled in this year)
• Fairfax Volunteer Board member: Sam Silverstein
FISCAL IMPACT
No impact to the General Fund because the projects are funded with Measure A Park funds.
The approval of the workplan is required by the County before it will release the Measure A funds to the Town.
