FROM:
Carla Kacmar, Town Clerk
SUBJECT:
Consider Adoption of Resolution to Allow for Virtual Town Council, Board and Commission Meetings in Compliance with AB 361.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Town Council adopt the attached resolution making findings pursuant to AB 361 to support continued use of teleconferencing/videoconferencing to hold public meetings of the Town Council and Town boards, commissions, and committees during the continuing state of emergency proclaimed by Governor Newsom on March 4, 2020. (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND
On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a state of emergency pursuant to Government Code section 8625 due to COVID-19. Recognizing the need to promote social distancing while allowing local legislative bodies to continue operating during the emergency, Governor Newsom signed Executive Orders N-25-20, N-29 -20, and N-08-21, which suspended provisions of the Brown Act. Those Orders permitted legislative bodies to hold virtual meetings; however, the relevant provisions expired on September 30, 2021.
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB 361, which extends the authority of public agencies to conduct meetings by teleconference, including video conference, during State-declared emergencies.
Specifically, the bill provides that a legislative body may hold virtual meetings where there is a proclaimed state of emergency and state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing. (Cal. Gov. Code § 54953(e)(1)(A)).
On September 22, 2021, the Marin County Director of Health & Human Services, Benita McLarin, sent a letter to the Marin County Board of Supervisors recommending continued social distancing for local government meetings.
Local government meetings are indoor meetings that are sometimes crowded, involve many different and unfamiliar households, and can last many hours. Given those circumstances, I recommend a continued emphasis on social distancing measures as much as possible to make public meetings as safe as possible. These measures can include using video/tele- conferencing when it meets community needs and spacing at in-person meetings so that individuals from different households are not sitting next to each other.
On November 26, 2021, the World Health Organization classified a new variant, B.1.1.529, as a Variant of Town of San Anselmo Page 1 of 2 Printed on 1/7/2022
powered by Legistar™ 52
TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
Concern and named it Omicron and on November 30, 2021, the United States also classified it as a Variant of Concern. On December 1, 2021, the California and San Francisco Departments of Public Health confirmed that a recent case of COVID-19 in California was caused by the Omicron variant. The new variant is anticipated to spread in the coming weeks.
On October 12, 2021, November 9, 2021, and December 14, 2021, the Town Council adopted resolutions with the requisite findings that the state of emergency is in effect, that measures to promote social distancing are still being recommended by local officials, and that the state of emergency directly impacts the ability of the public and the members of the Town’s Council, boards, commissions and committees to meet safely indoors in person.
AB 361 requires the Town Council to make these findings every thirty days if it desires to continue meeting virtually. (Cal. Gov. Code § 54953(e)(3)). The Council is holding its first regular meeting for the month of December and staff is returning with a resolution for the Council’s consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT
There would be no direct fiscal impact to the Town to approve this item.

WHEREAS, on November 26, 2021, the World Health Organization classified a new variant, B.1.1.529, as a Variant of Concern and named it Omicron and on December 1, 2021, the California and San Francisco Departments of Public Health confirmed that a recent case of COVID-19 in California was caused by the Omicron variant; and
WHEREAS, in light of the County’s recommendation and the current COVID-19 Variant of Concern, the Town Council desires to continue to have the flexibility, for itself and for all other Town-affiliated legislative bodies to meet by teleconference and/or videoconference.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. There is an ongoing proclaimed state of emergency relating to the novel coronavirus causing the disease known as COVID-19.
2. The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of Town legislative bodies to meet safely in person.
3. Local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing.

SUBJECT:
Resolution in Support of Bay Adapt: Regional Strategy for a Rising Bay
RECOMMENDATION
That the Town Council adopt a Resolution in Support of Bay Adapt: Regional Strategy for a Rising Bay, Attachment 1
BACKGROUND
For the last two years, the Bay Area Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) has led Bay Adapt:
Regional Strategy for a Rising Bay - a voluntary, diverse, and collaborative regional initiative to develop a consensus-driven strategy to protect people and the built and natural environments from a rising Bay. The Bay Adapt Joint Platform (see Attachment 2) lays out nine priority actions and 21 tasks that will enable the region to adapt faster, better, and more equitably to a rising Bay. Hundreds of local and regional leaders, community members, and technical experts were instrumental in shaping the Joint Platform.
The Climate Action Commission considered Bay Adapt Regional Strategy for a Rising Bay at their December 2021 meeting and recommended that the Town Council support the strategy.
DISCUSSION
Coastal adaptation to rising sea level is a state priority to avoid devastating impacts to people, the economy, and natural habitats. Despite having only one-third of the state’s coastline, two-thirds of California’s economic losses due to rising sea level are forecast to occur in the nine-county Bay Area, absent adaptation actions. The San Francisco Bay is a state-protected resource that is the largest estuary on the West Coast of North and South America, a key part of the Pacific Flyway for migrating waterfowl, and a critical economic driver of the State’s economy.
BCDC is a pioneer in the realm of sea level rise planning, both within the Bay Area and nationally. BCDC considered sea level rise in its coastal planning efforts as early as 1982. Over the past decade, the Commission’s rising sea level emphasis has expanded from being primarily regulatory in nature to also leading and collaborating with diverse stakeholders to provide more direct adaptation services to communities, local governments, and the region.
With the assistance and influence of BCDC, significant progress has been made in the Bay Area by cities and Town of San Anselmo Page 1 of 3 Printed on 1/7/2022
powered by Legistar™ 56
TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
counties to plan for a changing shoreline and establish shoreline ecosystem restoration and other flood protection projects. Yet many of the adaptation plans and projects already occurring within the Bay Area are disconnected and disjointed. Absent regional collaboration and a shared vision, we risk: disproportionate impacts to less affluent, disadvantaged communities; a patchwork of protective actions with varying levels of protection; inconsistent interpretation and application of the best statewide science; competition, not collaboration, for limited funding; near-term loss of wetlands; and, no way to measure collective progress.
To protect people, property, and habitat and prevent this “tragedy of the commons,” BCDC created and has dedicated the last two years to leading Bay Adapt - a voluntary, diverse, and collaborative regional initiative to develop a consensus-driven strategy to protect people and the built and natural environments from a rising Bay. The Bay Adapt Joint Platform (see Attachment 2) lays out guiding principles, nine priority actions, and 21 tasks whose implementation will enable the region to adapt faster, better, and more equitably to a rising Bay.
Together, fulfilling the Joint Platform will:
• Reduce flood risks for communities, businesses, infrastructure, and habitats. • Protect natural areas and wildlife.
• Integrate adaptation into community-focused local plans. • Recognize and equitably support low-income communities. • Accelerate permitting and project construction.
• Increase technical assistance for local governments.
• Develop and implement a funding strategy to help pay for what is necessary.
ANALYSIS
BCDC is requesting that cities and counties endorse the joint platform principles and strategies to help BCDC advocate for regional implementation. The platform does not bind the Town to any specific actions, but lays out a regional approach, based on collaboration between local communities and regional actors, that can help bring consistent approaches, and consistent sources of scientific information to address sea level rise.
Additionally, the joint regional strategy is intended to position the Bay Area to obtain funding for adaptation measures.
While the Town of San Anselmo will not be directly impacted by sea level rise, Sea Level Rise could impact the San Anselmo and its economy with disruption of transportation of goods and services to the Town and to places of employment, increased demand for housing and increased housing prices as residents retreat from coastal areas, and increased demand on infrastructure networks.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with adopting the resolution.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Town General Plan Conservation Element was drafted in 1975 and revised in 1984 and does not address Sea Level Rise. The platform is consistent with programs and polies in the General Plan, including to preservation of affordable housing.

RESOLUTION
RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF
BAY ADAPT: REGIONAL STRATEGY FOR A RISING BAY
Whereas, climate change is accelerating rising sea levels, increasing storm frequency and intensity, and moving groundwater toward the surface. The confluence of more intense winter storms, extreme high tides, and higher runoff, with higher sea levels, will increase the frequency and duration of shoreline flooding long before areas are permanently inundated by sea level rise alone; and
Whereas, a major storm within the next decade in the Bay Area could result in temporary flooding impacts to 13,000 existing housing units and 70,000 planned housing units, 28,000 socially vulnerable residents, 104,000 existing jobs and 85,000 planned jobs, and 20,000 acres of wetlands habitat that may become permanently inundated within 40 years; and Whereas, there are multiple local, regional, state, and federal government agencies with authority over the Bay and its shoreline, and while local governments have broad authority over shoreline land use they have limited resources to address climate change adaptation; and Whereas, individual local actions, absent a regional context in which to make policy decisions, will lead to a “tragedy of the commons”; and
Whereas, the San Francisco Bay Area is a vibrant, diverse, ecologically unique, innovative, and pioneering region that will be deeply and deleteriously affected by climate change without tremendous effort and investments to adapt to a constantly changing shoreline. The San Francisco Bay shoreline constitutes approximately one-third of the California coastline, but the Bay Area is estimated to experience two-thirds of the negative economic impacts due to the flooding that would occur absent adequate measures to adapt and protect people, places, and habitat; and
Whereas, the Bay Area region’s most socioeconomically vulnerable frontline communities are at the greatest risk of exposure to climate threats, and the impacts of historic and ongoing social and economic marginalization will compound the risks posed by flooding to those communities by reducing a community’s or individual’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and/or recover from a flood event; and
Whereas, the Bay ecosystem is already stressed by human activities that have drastically lowered its adaptive capacity, and climate change will further alter that ecosystem by inundating or eroding remaining wetlands, changing sediment dynamics, altering species composition, increasing the acidity of Bay waters, changing freshwater flows and/or salinity, altering the food web, and impairing water quality. Moreover, further loss of tidal wetlands will increase the risk of shoreline flooding; and
Whereas, flood damage to vital shoreline development, public infrastructure, and facilities such as neighborhoods, commercial centers, airports, seaports, regional transportation facilities, 59 landfills, contaminated lands, and wastewater treatment facilities absent adaptation will require costly repairs and likely will result in the interruption or loss of vital services, large-scale social dislocation, and degraded environmental quality; and
Whereas, the increasingly frequent and severe impacts of climate change in the Bay Area do not conform to jurisdictional boundaries or the planning and regulatory authorities of any one agency or organization; and
Whereas, in 2019, BCDC, in collaboration with a Leadership Advisory Group comprised of 35 Bay Area public, private, and non-profit leaders, embarked on the development of “Bay Adapt,” a consensus-driven strategy for regional sea level rise adaptation. The Leadership Advisory Group includes representatives from numerous public agencies, including the Association of Bay Area Governments/Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC/ABAG), San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board, State Coastal Conservancy, Caltrans, BARC, BART, East Bay Regional Parks, US Army Corps of Engineers, San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority, San Francisco Public Utility Commission, Marin County, and BCDC, as well as environmental justice, environmental, business, scientific, civic, organizations, local government and flood manager networks, and academia; and
Whereas, in 2020 and 2021, hundreds of stakeholders participated in the creation of the “Bay Adapt Joint Platform” through nine Leadership Advisory Group meetings, two public forums, many expert Working Group meetings, ten community and stakeholder focus groups, over 50 presentations to local governments around the region, and a month-long public feedback opportunity; and
Whereas, the Bay Adapt Joint Platform lays out a set of guiding principles, priority actions, and vital tasks whose implementation will enable the region, and most notably local governments, to adapt faster, better, and more equitably to a rising San Francisco Bay. If fulfilled, it will reduce flood risks for communities, businesses, infrastructure, and habitat; increase technical assistance for local governments and funding for adaptation; protect natural areas and wildlife; recognize and equitably support low-income, frontline communities; robustly integrate adaptation into community-focused local plans; and, accelerate permitting and project construction of local adaptation projects; and
Whereas, the Bay Adapt Leadership Advisory Group supports the Joint Platform and many members agreed to help implement it at its October 2021 meeting, the BARC Governing Board endorsed it on September 17th 2021, and BCDC adopted the Joint Platform on October 21st 2021; and
Whereas, implementing the Joint Platform’s many and varied actions and tasks goes beyond the capacity of any single organization or jurisdiction, requires strong and diverse leadership and participation in all aspects of its implementation, and a broad coalition of stakeholders share responsibility for the success of the tasks outlined in the Joint Platform.
Now, therefore, be it resolved:
1. The Town of San Anselmo supports and Bay Adapt Joint Platform, a regional strategy for a 60 rising Bay, including the guiding principles, actions, and tasks contained within; and
2. The Town of San Anselmo looks forward to championing and supporting the implementation of Bay Adapt to ensure that it serves San Anselmo and the Bay Area as a whole in achieving resilient and equitable adaptation to sea level rise. 61 Town of San Anselmo

Dannielle Mauk, Community Services Director
SUBJECT:
San Anselmo Arts Commission’s Utility Box Art Project-Phase 3
RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends that the Council approve two additional locations for Phase 3 of the Utility Box Art Project.
BACKGROUND
In 2020, the Arts Commission worked in collaboration with Town staff to successfully pilot the Town’s first ever Utility Box Art Project. This program was inspired by the community’s expressed desire to increase public art around Town as has been successfully implemented by surrounding communities in the county.
All ten of the utility boxes originally approved by Town Council have been completed. The completed boxes have helped bring art to unexpected public places and enhance the beauty and artistic vibrancy of San Anselmo.
Under the Town’s Sign Ordinance (MC 10.10.501), no permit is required for Town signs. This project is categorized under this ordinance.
DISCUSSION
With the goal to continue to bring art to unexpected places, the Commission has selected two additional town -owned utility boxes across from Archie Williams High School (AWHS). The Commission will be seeking two student artists from AWHS to complete the boxes.
As with the previous projects, the criteria for artwork includes that it must be original, appropriate, and integrate well with the surrounding neighborhood. Artists will receive a $500 honorarium, and the Arts Commission will provide paint and supplies. The theme of black and white and one color per box will continue to bring cohesiveness to the project.
The Recreation Department will oversee the completion of the program, and the Department of Public Works will continue to maintain the boxes.
A subcommittee within the Arts Commission has been created to evaluate and select the final entries. The subcommittee will then present the chosen entries, along with any alternates, to the entire Arts Commission Town of San Anselmo Page 1 of 2 Printed on 1/6/2022

TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
subcommittee will then present the chosen entries, along with any alternates, to the entire Arts Commission for review and approval. The selected entries will be presented to the Town Council.
The target timeline for the Aspen Court box is to start the call for entries in January 2022 and complete the project by March 2022. The electrical box on Saunders will be replaced this summer with the installation of a red light to replace the flashing yellow cross walk. Once the box is replaced the Arts Commission will repeat the application process, present selected artwork to Town Council and complete the artwork on the box in Fall 2022, The selected artwork would be in place for up to 5 years.
ANALYSIS
Over the past few years, the Arts Commission has evolved and set goals to pursue larger public art projects, including the Utility Art Boxes. While coordinating and implementing these public art projects it became clear that additional parameters involving the approval process should be explicitly stated and the role of the Commission should be clearly defined. At the October 12, 2021 Town Council meeting, Council considered revisions to Resolution No. 4313 Defining the Framework for the San Anselmo Arts Commission. Staff will include Council recommendations and bring back revisions to the resolution in early 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Commission has raised funds through sponsorships to cover the costs of two additional boxes. All additional funding will be funded directly by the Arts Commission.
CONCLUSION
Staff Recommends that the Council approve the two additional locations for Phase 3 of the Utility Box Art Project.

The Bay is Rising
The time to come together to act is now.
Sea level rise is no longer a distant threat and the San Francisco Bay Area stands to be one of the hardest hit in North America.
It’s past time for us to get ready.
As we walk the dog along our favorite waterfront, the waves don’t seem any taller.
As we wait in traffic at the Bay Bridge toll plaza, the water level looks the same as ever. But the Bay has already started spilling into our highways and street during storms. Another foot or two of rise will seriously affect our homes, jobs, habitats, and safety. San Francisco Bay Area has an enormous amount at stake—and an unprecedented opportunity to address these risks.
At risk of flooding by 2040
28,000 socially vulnerable residents
13,000 existing housing units and
another 70,000 new housing units
104,000 existing jobs and another

Impacts from flooding that could occur at 48” Total Water Level from the ART Bay Area Regional Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Adaptation Study.
Why shared solutions?
‣ Sea level rise will impact everyone in the Bay Area.
‣ A regional problem requires regional solutions.
‣ Flooding know no boundaries and doesn’t care about jurisdictional lines. ‣ Solutions should center on the most vulnerable people and environments. ‣ Bay Adapt is building regional consensus on a joint platform of nine actions that address the region’s strengths and weaknesses, enabling us to respond faster, better and together.
‣ Only with strong local and regional
actions can we ensure the safety and
welfare of all the Bay Area.

The Joint Platform
A regional strategy for a rising Bay
Bay Adapt has worked to establish
regional agreement on the actions
necessary to protect the Bay
Area’s people and natural and built
environments from sea level rise.
Bay Adapt is convened by the San Francisco
Bay Conservation and Development
Commission, a state agency, in partnership
with a broad range of Bay Area leaders.
Through dozens of expert working groups, a
public forum, ten community and stakeholder
focus groups, over 50 presentations, an
environmental justice caucus, and led by a
Leadership Advisory Group—hundreds of
people from across the Bay came together
to achieve a consensus-driven strategy and
regional agreement on a path forward.
Rather than calling for individual projects,
the Joint Platform lays out guiding principles
and region-wide goals, actions, and tasks to
help the Bay Area achieve faster, better, and
more equitable adaptation to a rising Bay.
• Reduced flood risk for communities,
businesses, infrastructure, and habitats.
• Protection of natural areas and wildlife.
• Robust integration of adaptation into
community-focused local plans.
• Recognition and equitable support for low
income communities.
• Accelerated permitting and project
construction.
• Technical assistance for local governments.
• More funding for adaptation.
Guiding Principles
‣ Support socially-vulnerable communities
‣ Put nature first whenever possible
‣ Solve interconnected problems at the same time
‣ Practice inclusive, community-led governance and decision-making ‣ Support existing efforts but plan for the long term
‣ Pick the right strategy for the right place at the right time Working together as one region
Centering people and nature through a shared set of solutions The Bay Area is one of the most culturally and geographically diverse places in the country. The risks of sea level rise, and resources necessary to adderss them, are unequal across the Bay Area. This is why all nine actions in the Joint Platform emphasize achieving equitable outcomes for the region. We also know our region’s wetlands are essential to our wellbeing – and also first at risk.
We cannot solve these challenges alone. Bay Adapt has been working with partners across the region to integrate and embed Joint Platform actions into existing regional plans and practices. MTCABAG’s Plan Bay Area 2050, set to be published in 2021, now incorporates multi-hazards, including sea level rise. The Estuary Blueprint, a map for regional actions on the health and resilience of Bay ecosystems, is also aligning Bay Adapt actions. We need everyone to come together to help us collectively create a resilient Bay Area region.

sea level rise
The Bay is rising. The time to
come together to act is now.
For most of the eight million of us who live around San Francisco Bay, sea level rise seems like a sleeper issue. As we walk the dog along our favorite waterfront, the waves don’t seem any taller. As we wait in traffic at the Bay Bridge toll plaza, the water level looks the same as ever. After a storm, however, those trying to traverse Corte Madera’s Lucky Drive, Sonoma’s Highway 37, or San Jose’s 237
underpass are noticing more water. Sea level rise is already here and starting to affect our highways and commutes;
another foot or two will seriously impact our homes, jobs and safety.
It’s subtle, but the Bay, fed by a swelling Pacific and melting glaciers and ice sheets, is growing faster than you think.
The rise is slow and steady now, but around 2040 scientists project it will speed up. By then, in the time it will take a current pre-schooler to graduate from college, it will be too late to start to prepare for the water that will be rising onto our airport runways and into our shoreline streets. And though you can’t see it, the groundwater table is also rising under your feet – pushed up as the Bay pushes in. Before long a big storm—like the train of atmospheric river events that drenched us over and over in 2017—will bring water into our basements and BART stations, onto our bridge
approaches, our ballparks, and even release decades of toxic pollution into our groundwater.
Going into another California drought and devastatingly dry fire season, it’s easy to push sea level rise to the back of our minds. But the San Francisco Bay Area metropolitan region stands to be one of the hardest hit coastal areas in North America. Sea level rise will be worse here than other places for a variety of reasons relating to our unique ocean conditions, atmospheric changes, and Pacific geography— and the fact that we’ve built our roads and homes right up to the edge of nearly every shore. Impacts are influenced by our history of toxic dumping and exclusionary land use practices. We’ve done the studies - we know what’s at risk when it comes to our people, our homes, our habitats, and our commutes. The threat is no longer vague. It’s past time for us to get ready.

losses to come – whether our home, business,
commute, or favorite picnic area – is something
we all have to do together. Whatever the best local
solution, we have to consider our neighbors. If well-todo waterfront towns build sea walls, the Bay will just find the next weak spots on the shore and flow there.
That town next door may have a smaller tax base or
more elderly or vulnerable residents. If we leave them
unprotected, families will be forced to move away from
their homes, schools and places of worship - their
communities - sometimes with no place else to go.
Waiting for the aftermath of this slow-moving disaster
will just cost the region more later in emergency
services, habitat loss, building repairs, and lost family time and productivity.
Many of our families came to this region for its
freedoms, natural beauty, diverse cultures and myriad
opportunities. Over the decades we’ve grown even
more diverse, and ever more activist as we battle to
save our local creek, or stop devastating air pollution, or fight for equity. We’re restoring wetlands around
the Bay, and taxing ourselves to do it, enhancing a
natural first line of defense against flooding. So as we face down the advancing Bay we don’t have to start
from scratch. Your city, your county, your regional
government is already working on it. Now it’s time for
everyone to join the effort.
There’s no way around the need to think and plan like a region - the water that’s coming knows no boundaries.
Space for solutions is limited. Together, we can adapt to the increasingly scary checklist of challenges in the Bay Area. But we won’t get this done, and minimize the cost we pay in damage to lives and property, if we don’t act now, together.
As we face down the
advancing Bay we
don’t have to start from
scratch. Your city, your
county, your regional
government is already
working on it. Now it’s
time for everyone to join
the effort.

as an equity
challenge
Tackling disproportionate
impacts on vulnerable
communities.
While everyone will feel the impacts of sea level rise to some degree, many factors have led to disproportionate
flooding and sea level rise vulnerability for low-income communities across the Bay Area and the nation. A
2019 study by the National Academy of Sciences on
urban flooding in the US revealed the populations that
are most vulnerable to flooding are nonwhite, nonnative English speakers, elderly, poor, chronically ill, uninsured, and renters1.
While it is broadly accepted that
environmental racism has been an
overarching theme for civilizations
throughout history, it is critical to
understand the patterns of racial injustice
that formed today’s cities and towns. After
Emancipation, white decision-makers
forced African Americans into undesirable
areas that experienced frequent flooding,
unhealthy air, and unsanitary water and
sewerage conditions. Industry and chemical
plants were regularly constructed close
to predominantly Black neighborhoods,
which led to lingering pollution and high
rates of cancer within these communities.
In the Bay Area, this often meant pushing
nonwhite communities to the marginalized
and often toxic Bay shoreline. These
discriminatory and deadly practices
continued for several decades.
Equity is the fair and just
distribution of financial and
institutional resources to
address impacts across
communities that stand to be
adversely affected by those
impacts, and commitment to
include those communities
in the development,
prioritization, and
implementation of adaptation
policies, programs, and
services.

78 7 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM Residents of these communities have often attended
countless public meetings and focus groups to discuss
concerns in their communities with engineers, planners, and other government staff, but these professionals are rarely trained or experienced in equitable community
engagement. Historically, attempts to inform meaningful solutions for environmental justice problems have been
met with lack of accountability by local and regional
agencies, leading to high levels of distrust between
communities and governments.
The cumulative impact of underinvestment coupled with
lack of government accountability over the decades has
led to an extremely disproportionate and inequitable
situation for the residents of these communities.
This cycle adds insult to the daily injury of living in marginalized space and is exhausting to communities
that are already struggling to meet their daily needs.
A landmark moment for the environmental justice
movement occured in 1994, when President Clinton
signed Executive Order 12898, a federal action
to address environmental justice and included a
formalized definition (the definition can be found
in BCDC’s report Toward Equitable Shorelines:
Environmental Justice and Social Equity at the San
Francisco Bay). This definition underpins the ethos that should be imbued in any sea level rise planning process or solution.
Working with and listening to community
voices.
Recognizing the critical importance of community voices and perspectives on the development of the Joint Platform, the Bay Adapt team partnered with Nuestra Casa in East Palo Alto and Vallejo Housing Justice Coalition in Vallejo to conduct a series of community focus groups. Community members were introduced to flooding issues specific to their communities and invited to share their experiences, concerns, and priorities for their communities.
In East Palo Alto, community voices were represented by African American, Pacific Islander, and Latinx cohorts, while in Vallejo, community voices were represented by residents involved in a range of local organizations such as housing, climate change, environmental justice, and others. Bay Adapt recognizes that these community meetings provided an essential first step in building trust with communities, and that continued participation and partnerships must continue to advance equitable adaptation outcomes for the region.
We know we need
action, but we’re
not ready and we
don’t know what to
do. We need to get
to solutions.

79 8 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM What is Bay
Adapt?
A regional strategy for a
rising bay.
Adapting to sea level rise will require a broad range
of planning, policy, community, and project decisions
that promote the protection of people, infrastructure,
and natural systems. In such a diverse and engaged
region, adaptation will also require balancing many
interests and needs, ranging from the health of the
most vulnerable residents and the Bay ecosystem to
local economic growth and jobs, services, housing, and
recreational opportunities.
Much adaptation will and should occur at the local city or county levels, where adaptation planning is already
accelerating. However, we live in a highly networked
region where impacts in one area, and responses
to them, have cascading effects around the Bay. A
coordinated approach across the region can reduce
unintended consequences and greatly enhance local
efforts. Collective action can be expedited by shared
goals that help communities find and enact their own
solutions. No one agency, jurisdiction or community can or should go it alone.
For the past five years, the Bay Area has been thinking about this problem in earnest. Forward-thinking
planners, scientists and activists have already laid some important groundwork, and pinpointed the areas and
communities that will be most at risk. Since 2019, Bay
Adapt has worked to establish regional agreement on
the actions necessary to protect people and the natural and built environments from rising sea levels.
Bay Adapt was convened by the San Francisco Bay
Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), a
state agency, in partnership with a broad range of Bay
Area leaders. The principles, actions, goals, and tasks in this document—a Joint Platform for adaptation—were
developed in close collaboration among BCDC staff,
a large Leadership Advisory Group, and hundreds of
stakeholders.
We envision a Bay Area that
is resilient and adaptive
far into the future. As
the region grows and
changes, such resilience
can only be achieved by
supporting collaborative
action, fostering greater
equity among residents,
and sustaining the unique
ecosystems we all rely upon
and thrive within.
80 9 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM Co-creating the Joint Platform.
In 2019, BCDC convened a Leadership Advisory Group (LAG) made up of a diverse group of Bay Area leaders from public agencies, interest groups, community-based organizations, and academia. Throughout 2020 and 2021, stakeholders participated in dozens of working group and small committee meetings to discuss and shape the Platform. The Platform was also informed by two public forums, ten community and stakeholder focus groups, over 50 presentations to boards and groups around the region, and an Environmental Justice Caucus convened regularly throughout the process. In other words, this platform, and the ideas in it, belong to everyone, and seek to serve everyone, now and into the future.
This platform, and
the ideas in it,
belong to everyone,
and seek to serve
everyone, now and
into the future.
Figure 1 | The Bay Adapt process kicked off in late summer 2019. The development of the Joint Platform started in early summer 2020, convening hundreds of stakeholders to brainstorm and refine the series of actions and tasks laid out in the final Joint Platform. Over this time period, Bay Adapt also facilitated multiple working groups, committee meetings, public forums, community and stakeholder focus groups, and conducted extensive outreach throughout the nine-county Bay Area. Implementation of the tasks begins in Fall 2021.
81 10 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM Figure 2 | Summary of the presentations and focus groups BCDC staff led throughout the Bay Adapt process between 2019 and 2021. Staff engaged with a wide variety of community members, local staff, elected officials, and special interest stakeholders throughout the engagement process.
82 11 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM Prioritizing and elevating
equity in Bay Adapt.
In an effort to ensure equity perspectives were present and included in the leadership of Bay Adapt, invitations were extended to at least five environmental justicefocused organizations to join the LAG, comprising the Environmental Justice (EJ) Caucus. The EJ Caucus
received a small honorarium for their participation.
The EJ Caucus kicked off by providing a training to
the LAG on EJ principles. During this training, LAG
members explored how to embed principles on
environmental justice, equity and inclusion into Bay
Adapt’s planning process, the Joint Platform, and in
implementation. EJ Caucus members also provided
leadership to Working Groups and met with BCDC’s
Environmental Justice Manager to provide input and
feedback before and after each LAG meeting.
However, all of the equity practices and benefits
outlined in the Joint Platform will not be achieved if
the agencies and other stakeholders implementing the
actions don’t fundamentally change their practices to
explicitly ensure that equity is front and center. Agencies and stakeholders need to deeply understand the factors
that have led to inequity and commit to ongoing training to learn and improve a new essential set of skills and
work directly with EJ communities in order to achieve
equity benefits.
Without this commitment, the region will continue to
repeat the same inequities as our predecessors. Bay
Adapt is an opportunity to set a new, more equitable
course for climate adaptation.
Two critical themes emerged
during discussions with the EJ
Caucus and other community
leaders:
‣ The need for fair and
equitable funding for
community partners,
including targeted
employment and economic
opportunities for diverse
frontline community
members; and
‣ Capacity building,
administrative support,
and technical training and
assistance are essential
to realizing truly equitable
adaptation planning.

83 12 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM Setting the foundation for
the Joint Platform.
Rather than specifying individual projects, the Joint
Platform lays out guiding principles that inform
overarching region-wide actions, goals and tasks.
Its aim is to overcome barriers, accelerate keys
to success, and share targets to help the region
achieve:
‣ Flood protection and reduced flood risk for
communities, businesses, infrastructure, and
habitat.
‣ Robust integration of adaptation into
community-focused local plans.
‣ Recognition, elevation, and support for frontline
communities.
‣ Accelerated permitting and faster project
construction for priority adaptation projects.
‣ Technical assistance for local governments to
plan and implement projects faster.
‣ More funding for adaptation that is easier to
get.
‣ Metrics for deciding what makes the best
kind of adaptation plan or project (equitable,
efficient, multi-benefit, nature-based, and
coordinated with others) and for tracking local
and regional progress.
Engaging the entire region in collective action
requires clear agreement on the path forward
and checks and balances to ensure no voice is
left unheard, and no community left behind. This
Platform provides that roadmap for adaptation.
The Joint Platform will help
the Bay Area engage in
faster, better, and more
equitable adaptation to a
rising Bay.
Sea level rise in our regional plans.
Plan Bay Area 2050 is the region’s long-range strategic plan focused on the interrelated elements of housing,
the economy, transportation and the environment.
Adopted in Fall 2021, Plan Bay Area 2050 is the first
multi-topic plan of its kind to question what the future will look like in the face of sea level rise and other
natural hazards. How will these threats impact housing, transportation, environmental, and economic goals?
What are the consequences if we don’t plan ahead?
Starting with Horizon, Plan Bay Area 2050’s preliminary research and analysis phase, MTC/ABAG integrated
the best available sea level rise mapping into imagining the impacts of sea level rise within the 2050 timeline of the plan. To address areas of near-term sea level rise
impacts, Plan Bay Area incorporated an Adapt to sea
level rise strategy, mapping protections on vulnerable
portions of the shoreline and calculated at $19 billion need for adaptation over the next thirty years.
Plan Bay Area 2050’s Implementation Plan, which sets
the strategic direction to advance strategies in the next five years, identifies key actions that MTC/ABAG and its partners should take to adapt the region to sea level rise.
While these actions are compatible with Bay Adapt’s
tasks and will be implemented in partnership with Bay
Adapt, they are part of a larger, multi-element plan and do not go into the level of detail on sea level rise that Bay Adapt does.
Plan Bay Area has been, and will continue to be, a
critical tool for region-wide resilient land use decisions as sea levels rise. The Plan will continue to grow to
become a comprehensive plan that brings in key
regional topics, and will incorporate the best available science and regional sea level rise planning envisioned by Bay Adapt. MTC/ABAG will continue to be a key
partner for planning, funding, and implementing
adaptation solutions in the Bay.
84 13 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM Where do we
start?
Preserving what we care about.
The Bay Area is the most culturally and geographically
diverse region in the United States, with people of color comprising 59% of our population. More than 75% of
residents believe that racial diversity is what makes
the Bay Area such a great place to live. Our region is
also called the “Bay Area” for a reason — the Bay is the defining characteristic of our geography and defines so much of our economy, infrastructure, and lives.
Residents cherish the beautiful blue expanse of San
Francisco Bay, and their ability to walk beside it, sail over it, and gaze across its open horizons. With its
diverse habitats—beaches, wetlands, grasslands, tidal
flats, lagoons and more—the Bay supports hundreds
of species, ranging from critically endangered salmon
and marsh mice to charismatic sea lions, busy beavers,
and wayward whales. Thanks to decades of careful
stewardship and public investments in shoreline parks
and habitats, the West Coast’s largest Estuary is both
more habitable and healthier for humans and wildlife
alike.
Our diversity of people and habitats also supports one
of the most innovative economies in the world. The
Bay Area is a hub of technology, industry, agriculture, services, and more, though this has created significant challenges in income equality.
Within this context is both diversity and inequity.
Across our communities, cities, and counties, we
have different histories, different challenges and
different opportunities. Deciding which climate change
adaptation options are right for each community can
be complex. Many people contribute to making these
decisions, and lots of considerations go into deciding
what the right solutions may be for each particular
waterfront.
If we are to prepare ourselves fully for sea level rise throughout the region, cities and counties must work
with local communities and the state and federal
governments to make decisions about what should—
and shouldn’t—exist along the shoreline in the future.

people, habitats, and wildlife.
The risks from sea level rise, and the resources necessary to address those risks, are unequally distributed among communities and ecosystems across the Bay Area.
In order to understand community vulnerability to
sea level rise, BCDC’s Adapting to
Rising Tides (ART) Program leverages
existing research on socioeconomic
characteristics that may reduce ability
to prepare for, respond to, or recover
from a hazard event or impacts from
environmental burdens. It has identified
potential impacts to communities from
current and future flooding including:
‣ Loss of property and income;
displacement from their communities.
‣ Disrupted access to medical care and
other critical services.
‣ Loss of power and utilities.
‣ Spread of disease and worsened preexisting health conditions. ‣ Physical and mental distress resulting
from the flooding of homes and
infrastructure.
The Bay has also long been a dumping
ground for polluted waste and industrial
sites are still located along many parts
of the shoreline. In addition to flood
impacts, sea level rise may mobilize
pollution as flooding becomes more
prevalent, spreading to communities and
ecosystems at an unprecedented rate.
All of these impacts are often
disproportionately distributed to
populations with certain existing
socioeconomic vulnerabilities.
Additionally, these populations tend to
be highly sensitive to impacts, leading
to potentially devastating implications from even minor flooding.
Natural ecosystems are also disproportionately impacted by sea level rise. When given a choice between an
endangered salmon and a farm, a wetland or a vineyard,
a nesting island or a waterfront hotel, it can be difficult Vulnerable Communities

86 15 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM for wildlife and open space to prevail in the battle over human priorities and money. Preserving shoreline
habitats will require prioritizing sediment to built up wetlands and providing room for habitats to migrate
upslope. But sediment is limited and many wetlands
abut development and levees.
The health of Bay ecosystems is inextricably linked to
our way and quality of life. We continue to learn how
nature protects people from natural
disasters and improves public health.
But as water levels rise coastal habitats
risk being drowned and lost. Both nature,
and people, will suffer.
The Joint Platform places a high value
on both the region’s diverse people
and its ecosystems. Throughout the
formation of the Joint Platform, a coalition
of community advocates, environmental
activists, and adaptation practitioners
have made clear that cleaning toxic
sites and reducing future pollution is
a priority for our region. The resulting
document explicitly acknowledges the
disproportionate risks and burdens
on communities of color and other
historically marginalized populations,
and tasks in the Joint Platform begin
to outline how our region can begin
to right generations of wrongdoing
through elevating the role of vulnerable
communities in developing solutions,
filling in knowledge gaps about the
challenges they face, mapping hazardous
sites, and more. With people at the
center of solutions, the Bay region can be
a national model for equity in resilience
planning.
The Joint Platform tasks also prioritize
natural habitats to support a healthy,
resilient Bay. Going green, meaning
prioritizing nature-based strategies for shoreline
adaptation as much as possible, is already a regional
priority. Taking actions to support healthy Bay
ecosystems now and as sea levels rise is essential,
not only for the many other benefits they provide but
as they are also our first —and most at risk —line of
defense from rising seas. Our efforts now will affect the health and livability of the Bay Area for generations.

Our efforts now will

livability of the Bay
Area for generations.
87 16 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM Guiding Principles of
the Joint Platform
Support socially vulnerable
communities
Actively ensure that socially vulnerable
communities don’t just bounce back in
the face of sea level rise, but “bounce
forward” by providing additional resources
and support to areas where socially
vulnerable communities live, work, and
play and reducing negative impacts to
these communities. Climate change will
disproportionately impact marginalized
communities with fewer resources.
Put nature first whenever
possible
Prioritize natural infrastructure solutions
that benefit ecosystems and the health
of the Bay as well as people, especially
in the near-term. Adapting to rising sea
level will require a mix of green and gray
infrastructure. Working with nature, instead
of against it, can produce better results for
both people and wildlife.
Solve interconnected problems
at the same time
Prioritize adaptation actions that maximize
regional risk reduction to flooding and sea
level rise and minimize tradeoffs within the
context of other regional priorities such as
housing, economy, social equity, habitat
protection, and other climate risks. Sea
level rise and flooding is just one of several
regionally interconnected crises facing the
Bay Area.
Practice inclusive, community-led
governance and decision-making
Remove barriers and enhance capacity to
increase transparent, coordinated decisionmaking among community members and organizations and local, regional, state, and
federal governments that acknowledges and
leverages the unique roles, responsibilities,
and authorities at each scale. Adaptation
outcomes will better protect the entire region
when all interests, including those who know
their neighborhoods and communities best,
contribute and collaborate in reducing risk.
Support existing efforts but plan
for the long term
Support, encourage, and learn from early
innovators charting a new course for the
region, especially for wetland restoration,
while maintaining a long-term vision for more
complex planning and investments. Early
action is important for regional learning,
setting precedents, and shorter-term flood
control, and widespread or significant capital
investments require careful and collaborative
planning.
Pick the right strategy for the right
place at the right time
Ensure that local and regional investment
strategies to address flooding and sea level
rise are grounded in local needs, conditions,
and plans, and are phased to allow for
uncertainty, flexibility, and iteration. The Bay
is a collection of distinct places with unique
physical and social conditions and there is
no “one size fits all” solution – or timeline - to
address climate-related impacts.

17 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM What does adaptation
look like?
Developing targeted solutions.
In climate change, adaptation is different
from mitigation, which are the ways we try to
reduce our carbon footprint. Adaptation refers
to making changes to how we live in the face
of change to reduce hazards and increase
resilience to future conditions.
In the Joint Platform, adaptation specifically
means the plans and projects that either
prepare us for sea level rise or alter our
shorelines to reduce its impacts.
In some cases, we will adapt by restoring
natural wetlands to absorb more water and
buffer us from storms, while in other places
when nature-based solutions are not feasible,
we will build higher protections, such as
seawalls, to keep water out. We may also
avoid building new roads or homes in areas
that are likely to flood or provide migration
space for wetland habitats. Sometimes
adaptation may even require removing things
that are already built out of harm’s way.
Adaptation also will spur innovative solutions
as we learn how to co-exist with more water
in the future.
The adaptation solutions we choose in one
part of the Bay are inextricably linked to
everywhere else along the shoreline. Since
the Bay is an interconnected system, flood
protection measures in one location of the
Bay may increase the risk of flooding in other
areas. It is critical that we consider shoreline
solutions as a whole Bay, rather than on a
project-by-project basis.
Bay Adapt helps to set the stage for
successful adaptation region-wide. While
each community will need to decide which
approach is best now and over time, the actions
in Bay Adapt help support multiple adaptation
approaches within the larger regional context
we need to think about before it’s too late.

89 18 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM Adaptation Actions that Prepare
‣ Actions that help us set the stage to make
decisions about what to do next that are
equitable, inclusive, and based on science,
local knowledge and values, such as increasing
information or community capacity.
‣ Changes to regulatory environments, political
settings, land use, or other contexts for
decision-making that improve the outcomes of
adaptation decisions.
‣ Agreement on a shared approach about who
makes decisions, what informs those choices,
and how we plan and fund those decisions
equitably to addresses disproportionate
impacts on the most vulnerable.
Adpatation Actions that Protect,
Accommodate, Avoid or Retreat
‣ Actions that change the physical
characteristics of the shoreline, such as
integrating natural ecosystems (green
infrastructure) and/or building engineered
structures (gray infrastructure) to protect
shorelines from flooding.
‣ Projects that accommodate flooding such
as preserving transition zones for wetlands,
elevating structures, or using flood resistant
materials.
‣ Efforts to retreat from the shore, such as
removing existing development or avoiding
placing new development in areas at risk of
flooding.
Sea level rise will change our way of life in the Bay
Area dramatically. Our daily commutes, the goods
and services we depend on, the places where
we live and work, the natural spaces that provide
habitats and make the Bay Area a beautiful place
to live, will all be affected. The Bay Adapt Joint
Platform’s 6 Guiding Principles, 9 actions and 21
tasks suggest a way forward for us all.

As we adjust the way we live, work, and play to adapt to a changing climate, we must act together with a true regional vision and ensure that this transition does not reinforce preexisting inequities. Who will lead who will decide, and how do we all get on the same page? Frontline communities that feel the most acute impacts from sea level rise have local knowledge critical for equitable solutions. Likewise, legislators in Sacramento and Washington need to hear our collective voice loud and clear—two-thirds of the State’s total sea level rise impacts will occur in the Bay Area, so our collective voice must be strong.
Collaborate on a “One Bay”
vision to adapt to rising sea
levels.
Goals:
‣ A shared vision for regional adaptation that reflects the Bay Area’s diverse conditions and communities.
‣ A proactive legislative agenda supporting sustained
Bay Area adaptation.
TASK 1.1: Create a long-term regional vision rooted in
communities, bay habitats, and the economy.
Engage communities and stakeholders in envisioning
a resilient future shoreline, relying on grassroots
input from start to finish. Using Bay Adapt’s Guiding
Principles to guide the process, it should define and
articulate what successful adaptation should like at
ground level, and around the Bay, beginning in the most at-risk frontline communities.
The vision must be built on a deep understanding
of communities’ unique social, cultural, economic,
and physical needs and be developed through a
participatory, transparent, and iterative process and
create opportunities for diverse stakeholders to learn
about each other and have conversations.
The vision must also be built on regional environmental, housing, transportation, recreation, economic and other ACTION 1
priorities, including visions already established for these sectors, such as in Plan Bay Area 2050 or the San
Francisco Estuary Blueprint.
The vision should be expressed through multiple
deliverables that will be utilized throughout many other tasks included in the Joint Platform, including:
‣ A “vision statement” for the Bay shoreline that sets
a long-term picture of successful adaptation.
‣ Regional and sub-regional objectives, tied to
measurable metrics (such as safety, equity,
a functioning and thriving ecosystem, reuse
of sediment resources, shoreline access, and
economic growth), to be used for tracking progress
in Task 9.1.
‣ Specific regional and sub-regional strategies,
actions, and an assessment of priority project
locations, types, and timelines, building off existing
analysis such as on vulnerable communities, Bay
interconnectedness, and the Adaptation Atlas.
This can be used in conjunction with the above
guidelines to incentivize and prioritize the right
kinds of actions in the right locations.
‣ Guidelines, evaluation methodologies, and technical
modeling capacities for evaluating local plans and
projects for funding and other incentives that align
with desired outcomes (Tasks 5.1, 6.2, and 8.1).

Build a unified advocacy voice for Bay Area adaptation
needs. In the short term (next two years), pilot a
legislative working group to work toward consensus
on regional priorities and shared criteria for future
legislation while taking advantage of opportunities
within current state and federal legislative sessions.
Foster relationships with state and federal legislators to lay the groundwork for future legislation. Build support for the nine-county Bay Area as the focus for new
regional climate adaptation programs. In the mid-term
(2-4 years), build support for multi-year sources of
funding for a wide range of adaptation activities, such as a regional ballot measure. Identify and collectively advocate for additional regional priorities that would
require legislation, such as regulatory changes, planning guidance, new fiscal authorities, and funding support.
In the long term (5+ years), coordinate, update and
communicate legislative needs on a biennial basis, such as through an annual legislative agenda.

clearer.
Support community leaders in raising awareness
and capacity within their own communities.
Host trainings for communities on sea level rise
risks, adaptation options, community storytelling,
and best practices for engaging effectively with
governments. Whenever possible, choose
community-based organizations (CBOs) or
community members to lead trainings geared
toward government and communities.
Training topics for agency staff may include
general environmental justice and local histories,
community mapping, culturally appropriate
communication, meaningful community
engagement at all phases of planning, use of
community benefit agreements, alternative
approaches to traditional cost-benefit analyses that
elevate community value, and measuring successful
engagement.

Use the funding to build and sustain community capacity to participate in decision-making as described in Task 2.1. Support CBO operating expenses, staffing, stipends for community representatives in planning processes and meetings, and expenses associated with participation such as transportation, food, and childcare. Also fund the community-led training programs identified in Task 2.1.
Consider state budget or bond allocations, legislation, grants, development fees, or regional funding measures as sources of funding. Equity initiatives could receive a dedicated percentage of any resilience-focused funding, for example. Other initiatives to increase community access to funds could include supporting collaborative grant-writing, or streamlining the process for governments or industry partners to contract with CBOs (such as setting up a bench of CBOs available for fee-based consulting and managing those contracts on behalf of the CBOs).

INFORMATION
Cities, landowners, residents and students all need to
understand how the latest science on sea level rise
applies to their lives and decisions. Understanding risks, consequences, options, and tradeoffs enables everyone to be part of the solution. We also need ways to share our stories, struggles, and successes as we confront climate change and learn to adapt. Stories of individual and
shared experiences of change are the foundation of future action. But where do we find and keep up with the latest science and these evolving stories? And how do we share the best of them?
ACTION 3
Broaden public understanding of
climate change science and impacts.
Goals:
‣ Increased climate literacy in the region’s general public. ‣ Communities and youth who are better prepared to plan and implement adaptation solutions.
‣ More value placed on community history and first-hand experience.
TASK 3.1: Tell local and regional stories about people and places adapting to climate change.
Launch a sustained storytelling campaign to amplify awareness of climate change, sea level rise impacts, and Bay health in the Bay Area. Listen and learn from residents’ direct experiences and empower them to advance their own solutions for climate adaptation. Encourage youth, neighborhoods, and frontline communities to shape and share their own stories. Base stories on local successes and hopeful narratives about what makes the Bay Area special, including the Bay’s unique natural ecosystems and culture of environmental and social activism. Allow communities to share their stories of concern, risk, needs, and loss in order to center these narratives and base future adaptation planning on mitigating these challenges. Share stories widely, and make them available on diverse platforms – newspapers, radio, television, social media, neighborhood news apps, and the web. Use these stories to train local government staff about the communities they serve and increase trust between communities and local staff (coordinated with the trainings outlined in Task 2.1).

Goals:
‣ Data and research tailored to the region’s specific needs. ‣ Accessible science, analysis, and monitoring information. ‣ User-friendly technical support.
TASK 4.1: Align research and monitoring with information gaps.
Partner with academics, scientists, and communities to fill information gaps through original research, data collection, analysis, and monitoring. Tailor the interpretation of science to the audience or user, ranging from the general public to academics. Curate and archive information for use and updates across decades. Align with similar statewide initiatives but ensure data is tailored to the Bay Area.
From a technical perspective, identified information needs include:
‣ Enhanced regional flood modeling related to multiple hazards (such as groundwater, watershed, riverine/tidal, subsidence, erosion).
‣ Expanded networks of water elevation monitoring stations for real-time updates to the rate and timing of sea level rise in the Bay.
‣ Expanded open data initiatives to facilitate sharing. ‣ Standard operating procedures for validating and nominating data for common use.
‣ More research on the cost and suitability of adaptation strategies for different Bay conditions.
‣ Identification of potential wetland migration pathways. ‣ Tracking, sharing, and integrating data from various sectors to spotlight opportunities to reuse sediment.
‣ Research on the equitable distribution of burdens and benefits of adaptation.
‣ More explicit research on the impacts and consequences of contaminated sites as they intersect with flooding and/or rising groundwater and strategies for mitigating these impacts.
Solicit and value local knowledge from residents, particularly in frontline communities, and use it to inform research needs and priorities and to confirm and validate academic research. Prioritize co-production of data and tools with communities through community-based asset mapping and storytelling or participatory science to form a more complete data picture.

29 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM PLANS
Now is the time to plan for carrying out the region’s
adaptation vision and seeking the billions of dollars
needed to pay for it. As shoreline communities
incorporate adaptation into local plans, we must ensure that those plans contribute to a “One Bay” solution,
whose goals and objectives are shared across cities,
counties and the region. Decisions in one community,
municipality or new development can displace costs
and impacts to others. How can we help locals make
successful, coordinated plans? And how will we pay for
new initiatives?
ACTION 5
Align local and regional plans
into a unified adaptation
approach.
Goals:
‣ Local plans that are coordinated across the region,
and incentivized by expanded adaptation funding.
‣ Improved and coordinated state planning
requirements for adaptation plans and projects.
TASK 5.1: Provide incentives for robust, coordinated
local adaptation plans.
Utilize collectively-developed plan guidelines and
minimum requirements (Task 1.1), tied to financial
incentives (Task 6.2), to develop strong local and
community-driven adaptation plans that also contribute
to regional goals and align with current state guidelines for adaptation plans. Incentives should include funding to develop the plans. Plans should also include planned projects that contribute to regional goals (Task 8.1).
Guidelines should be developed with the input of many
stakeholders but may provide:
‣ Guidance on how to prioritize and include
vulnerable communities in sea level rise planning,
including best practices for community engagement
and community-led adaptation planning processes.
‣ Common minimum short and long-term sea level
rise climate projections for planning.
‣ Standard flood data sets.
‣ Regionally-appropriate strategies for protecting
natural areas, frontline communities, public access,
regional transportation links, and other critical
regional assets.
‣ Guidance on how and where to prioritize naturebased solutions along the shoreline where feasible and appropriate.
‣ Land use guidance, such as how to plan for habitat
migration with sea level rise.
‣ Guidance on how to plan for long-term implications
of sea level rise beyond current planning horizons.
‣ Guidance on how to connect sea level rise planning
to other critical topics, including public and
environmental health, emergency response, and
housing considerations.
Assistance on applying the guidelines should be
available through regional technical assistance
programs (Task 4.2).

Assess the state’s myriad planning requirements beyond
adaptation (such as those for housing, emergency response, local hazard mitigation, social equity, and climate action) through the lens of adaptation planning for conflicts, redundancies, and synergies. Jointly advocate for updated legislation to coordinate these requirements. Also create opportunities and incentives at the state level for cross-jurisdictional planning to improve the siloed scope of local plans that are often limited to jurisdictional boundaries.

Adaptation Atlas has extensively
evaluated the Bay shoreline to identify
the most appropriate adaptation
strategies for the unique physical
characteristics shared by different
“Operational Landscape Units” around
the Bay. It identifies where nature-based
approaches can help create a resilient
shoreline with multiple benefits and
where these solutions can work together
across the interconnected Bay to avoid
unintended impacts in neighboring
locales. The Adaptation Atlas can
provide a guide toward appropriate
plans and projects in different locations
around the Bay to ensure that the most
appropriate strategies are considered in
any given location. See it Here.

Figure out how to fund adaptation.
Goals:
‣ Clear assessment of the region’s adaptation funding
needs.
‣ Identification of local and regional funding sources
and financing tools.
‣ Mechanism for prioritizing and distributing funds for adaptation over the next several decades.
TASK 6.1: Expand understanding of the financial costs and revenues associated with regional adaptation.
Reduce unknowns and uncertainties related to the costs of adaptation. Start by expanding on the existing MTC/ABAG Sea Level Rise Needs and Revenue Assessment, which supports Plan Bay Area 2050 and also advocates for more state and federal funding. Build on and improve the assessment’s calculations of what it may cost the region to adapt to sea level rise as well as the cost of inaction. As part of this calculation, consider both actual costs of current projects and the anticipated costs of untested or new construction or restoration techniques, as well as the costs for pre-construction phases of projects such as engagement, planning, and land acquisition or post-construction costs such as monitoring and maintenance. Consider when future funds may be needed as sea levels rise and impacts accelerate. Also develop a more in-depth understanding of possible revenue from related special assessments, taxes, and fees to refine estimates of the potential funding gap.
Ideas for the Bay Area
The San Francisco Bay Restoration
Authority is a regional agency
created to fund shoreline projects that
will protect, restore, and enhance San
Francisco Bay through the allocation
of funds raised by the Measure AA
parcel tax. This parcel tax generates
$25 million in grants annually
for wetland restoration projects
throughout the region. The Restoration
Authority is overseen and staffed by
representatives from several Bay Area
government agencies with various
types of expertise and authority. The
Restoration Authority could either be
expanded to fund a wider variety of
adaptation projects or could serve as
a model for a new adaptation-focused
finance authority for the Bay. Learn

32 BAY ADAPT | Regional Strategy for A Rising Bay JOINT PLATFORM TASK 6.2: Establish a framework for funding plans and
projects.
Develop and implement a framework or process to aggregate, generate, and distribute adaptation funding for communities, plans and projects. Use guidelines developed in Task 1.1 to direct funding to incentivize successful local planning (Task 5.1), and to evaluate and assign funding to proposed adaptation projects included in such plans (Task 8.1). Consider modeling the process on the MTC/ ABAG Transportation Project Performance framework, in which partners nominate local projects for evaluation based on specific criteria and then prioritize them for funding. Actively advocate for adaptation funding for the region (Task 1.2) and consider spearheading new regional taxes, fees, or other financing mechanisms to fund plans and projects.

Provide local governments with expertise and assistance to generate additional funds by identifying, evaluating, and applying local financing tools and to apply for other sources of funds for local adaptation needs (above and beyond any regional funds identified in Task 6.2). Work with cities and counties to identify their needs and match the myriad federal, state, regional, and local funding sources to local needs for planning, community engagement, project implementation and costly project resources (i.e. sediment).
Help local governments understand grant requirements and shape projects to fit them. Assist with project cost-benefit analysis, grant writing, and fulfilling reporting requirements. This assistance should be provided through the regional technical assistance storefront outlined in Task 4.2.

Getting adaptation projects approved and built can
be challenging. Permitting and construction should
accelerate, not hold back, resilient shoreline adaptation projects that value ecosystems and people, align with the region’s vision and funding priorities, and apply innovative approaches. Measures to smooth and speed regulatory
approvals for multi-benefit projects are important. Other measures can help facilitate place-based collaboration
around project development and remove logistical
challenges to construction.
ACTION 7
Refine and accelerate regulatory
approvals processes.
Goals:
‣ Less time and fewer resources spent on permitting
adaptation projects so they can be constructed
ahead of sea level rise.
‣ Updated laws, regulations, and policies that reflect
the changing shoreline.
TASK 7.1: Accelerate permitting for equitable, multi-benefit projects.
Dedicate a multi-agency group to work collaboratively on permits for adaptation projects that reflect regional guidelines and have been identified as regional priorities (see Ideas for the Bay Area at right for a possible model or forum). Achieve smoother, speedier regulatory approvals that don’t compromise environmental protections, transparency, or community engagement by:
‣ Using standard, transparent criteria and checklists (linked to Task 1.1. guidelines) to evaluate candidate projects for eligibility for accelerated permitting.
‣ Providing opportunities for proactive coordination and collaboration between agencies and project proponents and sharing criteria and checklists with project proponents early in their design process.
‣ Improving coordination across agencies and between potential project proponents and regulators before projects are even designed (such as regular engagement with the groups

‣ Establishing a dispute resolution process among permitting agencies.
‣ Conducting CEQA and permitting concurrently.
‣ Enhancing the technical knowledge of permitting staff (via working groups and by tapping outside expertise).
‣ Increasing regulatory capacity for permit review.
TASK 7.2: Assess environmental regulations and policies that slow down progress on projects.
Review plans and laws, including BCDC’s Bay Plan, RWQCB’s Basin Plan, the California Endangered Species Act, California Environmental Quality Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Federal Clean Water Act, and Federal Endangered Species Act, to pinpoint policies that may unintentionally impede permitting or construction of adaptation projects. Starting with local and regional plans and policies, develop consensus on recommended policy changes that balance original intent with changing conditions due to sea level rise, and help facilitate multi-benefit projects. The scope of the review could include:
‣ Clarifying or creating new policies on climate change. ‣ Identifying conflicting regulatory mandates.
‣ Identification of “regulatory gaps,” such as wetland migration space that is not currently protected.
‣ Clarifying design standards for nature-based projects. ‣ Integrating data from pilot projects into planning for new projects. ‣ Reevaluating restrictions on Bay fill for shoreline protection. ‣ Reevaluating criteria for dredged material disposal to incentivize beneficial reuse over in-Bay or ocean disposal.
‣ Reevaluating contaminant criteria for beneficial reuse. ‣ Identifying more funding sources for sediment delivery to beneficial reuse sites and other adaptation projects.
‣ Updating land use policies to allow for habitats to migrate upland. ‣ Permitting that allows for temporary impacts to achieve long-term adaptation goals.
‣ Ensuring that construction work windows provide the expected benefit to special status species.
‣ Addressing the short and long-term impacts of turbidity plumes in water.
‣ Strengthening requirements around long-term monitoring of adaptation outcomes to inform regulatory and policy updates.
Ideas for the Bay Area
In 2016, BCDC completed Policies
for a Rising Bay, which outlines
the policy issues identified in the
Commission’s laws and policies in
light of new challenges, including sea
level rise. The report identifies four
policy issues where BCDC’s policies
were found to be inadequate regarding
risks associated with rising sea levels,
including:
1. Fill for Resilience and Adaptation -
Habitat Restoration and Protection
2. Fill for Resilience and Adaptation -
Innovative Shoreline Solutions
3. Environmental Justice and Social
Equity
4. Adaptive Management
In 2019, BCDC adopted its Fill for

Fund and facilitate faster
adaptation projects.
Goals:
‣ Accelerated and funded projects that advance the
regional adaptation vision.
‣ More efficient construction processes for multibenefit, equitable shoreline adaptation projects.
TASK 8.1: Incentivize projects that meet regional
guidelines.
Jump start critical local projects that also contribute to regional goals using collectively developed plan
guidelines and minimum requirements (Task 1.1), tied to financial incentives (Task 6.2) and permitting incentives (Task 7.1). Projects eligible for financial incentives
should be included in successful local plans that follow compatible guidelines (Task 5.1).
Guidelines should be developed with the input of many
stakeholders but may provide:
• Guidance on how to prioritize and include
vulnerable communities in sea level rise projects,
such as through robust and meaningful community
engagement in the project planning process.
• Evaluation of the degree to which a project protects the health of the bay and local ecosystems, and
considers space for habitat migration.
• Evaluation of project impacts on flooding or wave
erosion in other areas of the Bay, and guidance for
best practices to avoid unintended consenquences
in an interconnected Bay system.
• Evaluation of project impacts on natural areas,
frontline communities, public access, and other
consequences to neighbors or the region, such as
displacement.
• Use of an equitable cost-benefit analysis that values frontline communities and other non-monetary
benefits.
• Adaptive project plans that consider flooding above
and beyond the design level or flooding that occurs
more rapidly than planned.
Guidelines should be made easily accessible via
regional technical assistance programs (Task 4.2).
TASK 8.2: Encourage collaboration among people
doing projects in the same places.
Establish place-based, ongoing work groups to
coordinate large-scale, multi-jurisdictional plans and
projects. Provide a forum for building relationships
among agencies, project proponents, and communities,
enhancing communication, transparency, and synergies
among diverse players, and connecting communities to
projects they care about.
Create local visions tied to the regional vision (Task 1.1) and share best practices for project design, governance, and delivery. Use a neutral, third-party facilitator to facilitate these groups and help ensure a balance of
voices, achieve consensus on common project goals,
resolve challenges and conflicts, identify and nurture
of project champions, and broker community benefits
agreements. Consider formalizing these structures
such as in the Hayward example (above) to accelerate
project funding, development and construction across
jurisdictional boundaries.

Coordinate the use of the limited regional supply of fill across the region and improve fill logistics (e.g. stockpiling, contaminant testing, delivery, etc). Strengthen partnerships with regulated communities. Expand RFP and State bond proposition language to make funding such complex projects more flexible.
Improve construction bidding and contracting processes by:
‣ Demystifying project costs.
‣ Contracting earlier in the design process (via
construction management general contracts).

PROGRESS
The cycle of adaptation never stops. Science evolves and we learn lessons from existing projects, often requiring updates to our plans and policies. But how do we know if our efforts have been successful, and whether everything is working out as planned? Tracking and learning from
our successes and failures will allow the region to adjust course, celebrate progress, maintain transparency, and
adapt to uncertainty. Accountability for how well we
achieve our collective adaptation goals goes hand-inhand with future support for this critical work.
ACTION 9
Track and report progress to guide
future actions.
Goals:
‣ A process for gathering feedback and measuring progress on local and regional adaptation efforts.
‣ Clarity on how to adapt plans and projects to changing conditions and outcomes.
‣ Enhanced monitoring of nature-based projects to better understand the benefits and challenges of an ecosystems approach to adaptation.
TASK 9.1: Measure regional progress using metrics and share results.
Regularly check and report on adaptation progress based on the established and shared regional metrics identified in Task 1.1.
Metrics should measure the difference between today’s “baseline”— the region’s current risk profile and adaptation status—and changes related to adaptation activities, or other measures of long-term sustainability. Also consider collecting qualitative reports, such as narratives and community feedback.
Resulting “report cards” should be transparent and understandable (through visually compelling online dashboards) to partners, stakeholders and the public. When appropriate, they should suggest ways to increase alignment with the regional vision, such as changes to incentives (Tasks 5.1 and 8.1), funding models (Task
6.2), technical assistance programs (Task 4.2), or the legislative agenda (Task 1.2).

Pilot projects don’t have to be limited
to nature-based solutions. The San
Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit
District (BART) can serve as a model
for other agencies pursuing adaptation.
With limited funding and resources,
BART has conducted a number of pilot
projects to evaluate resiliency risks
and develop adaptation solutions. Pilot
findings have been used to inform
BART capital projects of risks. As a pilot
outcome, BART requires in the BART
Facilities Standards (BFS) that capital
projects account for SLR risk in their
designs. BART’s approach to leverage
existing data and partnerships to
maximize pilot outcomes are examples
of practices that can be shared and
benefit other agencies.

The strategies in this document were developed by BCDC staff with nearly 100 stakeholders who participated in hundreds of hours of working group meetings. The strategies were also informed by one Public Forum, ten Community and Stakeholder Focus Groups, an Environmental Justice (EJ) Caucus which was convened regularly throughout the process, and many presentations to other region-wide existing groups consisting of local government staff and elected officials.
For a summary of feedback from the Public Forum, Community and Stakeholder Focus Groups, and a list of outreach presentations, visit the Bay Adapt website at www.bayadapt.org.

Town of San Anselmo
Staff Report
525 San Anselmo Avenue
San Anselmo, CA 94960
TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
FROM:
Carla Kacmar, Town Clerk
SUBJECT:
Appoint two applicants to the Arts Commission.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council appoint two applicants to the Arts Commission.
BACKGROUND
The Arts Commission has a membership of seven seats. There are two seats available and three applicants. Elizabeth Grasso and Barbara Shands have reapplied, and Jaclyn Barcewski has applied. As of this evening, all applicants have been interviewed.
After the meeting on December 11, 2021, staff discovered there was an additional applicant for the Arts Commission.
The application was submitted within the deadline for the Art Commission recruitment and staff is bringing forward all of the applications to consider. Once the Council decides which applicants to appoint, an official onboarding letter will be sent to the appointees.
In addition, staff has double checked that all applications sent through the online system have been accounted for and that there are no additional applications that were sorted into an email spam folder.
FISCAL IMPACT
There would be no direct fiscal impact to the Town to approve this item.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), under the “common sense” exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, § 15061).

Staff Report

San Anselmo, CA 94960
TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
FROM:
David P. Donery, Town Manager, Jeff Zuba, Finance and Administrative Services Director, Sean Condry, Public Works Director
SUBJECT:
Consider Potential Next Steps for Renewal of Measure D Transactions and Use Tax
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council receive a report regarding options for the renewal of the Measure D transactions and use tax and authorize the Town Manager to hire a tax measure consultant and to conduct public opinion polling. Staff further recommends that the Council consider utilizing an ad hoc subcommittee of the Council to work with staff on developing options for the full Council to consider.
In 2012, the Town Council conducted a survey of the community that prioritized 33 goals established as part of a Council goal-setting process. The results of this survey showed the top priority to be the repair of the Town’s roads.
As a result of the community survey, the Town Council created a Financial Advisory Committee tasked with evaluating the Town’s budget and making recommendations to the Town Council. The primary result of the work of the Financial Advisory Committee was to recommend that the Town put forth a measure that would raise money for the repair of the Town’s road and drainage systems. This recommendation is summarized in the group’s final report from May of 2013 (Attachment 1).
The Town Council voted to put Measure D on the November 2013 General Elections ballot. The measure asked voters to consider approving a 0.5% transactions and use tax for a period of 10 years, with revenues coming directly to the Town of San Anselmo. Measure D passed with 69.92% of the vote. The Council emphasized that the funds would be prioritized for use in fixing the roads.
DISCUSSION
The statewide base sales tax rate is 7.25%. Of this rate, 1.25% is known as the Bradley-Burns Sales Tax. Under Bradley-Burns, local jurisdictions receive 1% of sales tax generated from purchases made on taxable items within their jurisdictions for use at their discretion. The remaining .25% is allocated for county local transportation funds (LTF’s). The remaining statewide sales tax revenue goes into the State’s general fund (3.9375%), County Realignment (1.5625%) and Prop 172 (0.5%).
In most areas of California, local counties, cities, and towns have added taxes that increase the local sales tax Town of San Anselmo Page 1 of 5 Printed on 1/6/2022
powered by Legistar™132
TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
rate. The maximum tax rate is 9.25% in any district (without voter approval to go above the cap). Many cities and counties in the state have additional tax rates ranging from 0.125% to 1.00%. Some areas may have more than one district tax in effect. For example, in Marin County, there are three countywide district taxes:
Transportation Authority of Marin (0.5%), SMRT - SMART in Marin (0.25%), and the Marin Parks/Open Space/Farmland Preservation Transaction and Use tax (0.25%). In San Anselmo, Measure D adds 0.5% to this list for a total of 8.75%.
The Town began receiving revenues from Measure D in 2014 and will continue to receive these funds through March 31, 2024. As demonstrated in Table 1, these revenues fluctuate based on local consumer spending and are subject to fluctuation in years where large purchases are made by residents as seen in 2017 and 2021. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, Measure D generated 91% of the Town’s annual sales tax revenue.

2018 $887,475

Measure D Funding - Results
The Capital Program Monitoring Committee was re-established in March of 2014 by the Town Council. The purpose of the committee is two-fold; to monitor the implementation of the Town’s capital improvement program, and to provide oversight to the voter-approved Measure D sales tax funds as required by the measure.
The Committee’s charge is to hold an annual meeting summarizing the progress of capital improvement projects funded by Measure D, as well as capital improvement projects funded by other sources of Town funding.
Since 2014, Measure D funding has resulted in a long list of improvements to the Town’s roads and infrastructure. With Measure D funds the Town has paved over 46 streets and has slurry sealed over 60 streets, or approximately 21 lane miles of paving and 14 lane miles of slurry seal. Additionally, Measure D funds were used for the local match portion for many grant projects including 6 bridge replacement projects, a bridge preventative maintenance project, sidewalk improvement projects around schools, the current federally-funded Sir Francis Drake paving project (from the Hub to Bolinas Avenue), and the Low Impact Development project, which included the Magnolia Avenue Parking Lot. Without Measure D, the Town’s ability to leverage local funds to get grants for paving, sidewalks, bridges, flood control projects, etc. would be Town of San Anselmo Page 2 of 5 Printed on 1/6/2022

TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
drastically impaired.
Since the passage of Measure D, the Town has increased its pavement condition index score from the mid 50’s to 68 (out of 100). Achieving a pavement condition index of 70 is considered a success, especially if it can be maintained. Therefore, with the rising costs of construction and continued long term maintenance costs, the Town must have funds available if it wishes to not only maintain, but improve the condition of its roads. The better the roads are, the cheaper it is to maintain them, so it is imperative to keep investing in protecting the Town’s good roads with slurry seals, while paving/rehabilitating the roads that are in poor condition. Without sufficient funding to maintain the street network, the Town’s roads will deteriorate to the point of needing complete reconstruction, which is exponentially more expensive than maintaining them in good condition.
ANALYSIS
Sales Tax vs. Transactions & Use Tax
The Bradley-Burns Sales Tax is revenue generated by the Town based on where the sale or order is placed or negotiated and under state law, this sales tax cannot exceed 1%. In addition, the Transactions and Use Tax Law allows cities, counties and certain special districts to levy transactions and use taxes at a rate of .125% or multiples of that rate. These taxes are distinct from Bradley-Burns sales taxes, because they are distributed to the jurisdiction where the goods are delivered. Measure D is a transactions and use tax.
By way of illustration, consider the purchase of a vehicle by a Town resident. The resident would pay sales tax in the jurisdiction where the vehicle is purchased but also pay a Measure D transactions and use tax to the Town, because the vehicle is registered here. The transactions and use tax brings in revenue from industry groups that don’t have a large presence in the Town, including automobile and building (building materials).
Special vs. General Tax Measure
In California a general tax, one that is to be used for general governmental purposes, requires a 50% plus one majority vote. A special tax, one that is to be used for a specified purpose, such as the Town’s Library Parcel Tax, requires a 66.67% super-majority vote. The philosophy behind this rule appears to be that it is much more difficult to obtain voter approval on a measure that does not specify how the tax money will be used, thus the 50% plus one majority requirement. However, rules governing the ballot language for a general tax allow for some specificity of the jurisdiction’s intentions on how the funds will be spent. For example, the ballot language for Measure D stated:
Town of San Anselmo Vital Services and Infrastructure Measure To repair potholes, repave roads, reduce traffic congestion, maintain and improve sidewalks/drainage/street medians, preserve public safety, and improve other general Town services, facilities, and infrastructure, shall the Town of San Anselmo establish a one-half cent sales tax for ten years, with annual independent audits, mandatory public expenditure reports, and an independent citizens' oversight committee with all funds staying in San Anselmo under local control?
As demonstrated by the list of projects funded to date by Measure D, the Town has held true to the stated intended use of those funds.
Planning for the Renewal of Measure D
Town of San Anselmo Page 3 of 5 Printed on 1/6/2022
powered by Legistar™134
TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
As noted above, Measure D expires on March 31, 2024, which means that funding ceases as of that date. If the Town waits until the November 2024 General Election to seek a renewal, funding would begin in April of 2025.
State law requires Council-sponsored general tax measures such as Measure D, to be consolidated with a regularly scheduled general election for Town Council members, except in cases of emergency declared by a unanimous vote of the Council. (Cal. Const. art XIIIC, sec. 2(b); Cal Gov. Code sec. 53724). Under San Anselmo Municipal Code section 2-9.01, General Municipal Elections for Council members shall be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of even-numbered years. Accordingly, to avoid a gap in tax revenue, a Measure D renewal measure should appear on the ballot in November 2022.
The next General Election takes place in November of 2022. Staff recommends that the Town Council consider placing a measure on the November ballot to continue the transactions and use tax, and that the Council explore options for expansion of the tax to provided funding for other priorities in Town. The Town’s current overall sales tax rate is 8.75%, which is 0.5% below the cap, although some communities have exceeded this rate which has required legislative approval. Adding an additional 0.5% to the current rate would bring our local tax to 1%, resulting in an additional $1.1 to 1.2 million in added revenue to the Town each year.
Potential competing ballot measures include the renewal of the Measure A (Marin Parks, Open Space, and Farmland Preservation Transactions and Use Tax) in June 2022, and the renewal of the Town’s Library Parcel Tax in November 2022. Staff will be bringing an item regarding that measure to the January 25th Town Council meeting.
Funding Priorities
In relation to the initial intent of Measure D, the areas where staff sees a continued need for funding are asset protection of Town roads with crack and slurry seals, partial or full rehabilitation of roads, building maintenance due to long-term deferred maintenance, drainage improvements as mandated by the state, and park improvements.
Staff has identified additional funding needs should the Town Council decide to explore expanding the tax rate an additional 0.5%. These options are listed below:
§ Additional funds for roads, drainage and infrastructure § Fire protection, increasing incident response capacity § Town facility improvements, including Town Hall, Robson Harrington House and Recreation Center § Town park improvements, including Memorial Park and Robson Park § Climate Action Projects, including solar on Town buildings and water resiliency projects § Establishing and funding an Affordable Housing Fund to help the Town meet the need of increased housing units
Staff is asking the Council review this list and suggest edits. The final list will be used in public opinion polling, if approved. The Council may choose to finalize the list during the meeting or ask that the list be brought back for further consideration at the January 25th meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
Town of San Anselmo Page 4 of 5 Printed on 1/6/2022
powered by Legistar™135
TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
Staff is recommending that the Council authorize the Town Manager to hire a tax measure consultant and to conduct public opinion polling. These steps were taken by the Town Council in 2013. Based on quotes received from qualified local firms that handle this type of work, staff expects these costs to be up to $70,000. The majority of these costs will be covered by existing departmental savings in the Administration and Finance Department. Staff requests that the Council authorize up to $20,000 from the General Fund reserve balance.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
Discussing the options for a transaction and use tax renewal is not considered a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because it does not involve an activity which has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21065). If measure D moves forward and passes, all projects that come forward will be looked at for CEQA compliance and Climate Action Plan consistency.
CONCLUSION
Measure D funds have been instrumental in improving Town infrastructure, and in particular Town roads.
Without Measure D funds, roads will deteriorate quickly unless other funds are found and long-term costs for road maintenance will increase substantially.
Staff recommends using professional expertise to evaluate the possibilities for renewing Measure D and returning to a future Council meeting with options for renewal of the Town’s transactions and use tax.

TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO
STAFF REPORT
May 7, 2013
For the Meeting of May 14, 2013
TO: Town Council
FROM: Debra Stutsman, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Financial Advisory Committee
RECOMMENDATION
That Council receives the report from the Financial Advisory Committee and provides direction to staff on next steps.
BACKGROUND
The Financial Advisory Committee was formed via Resolution 4011 approved by the Town Council on Tuesday, October 23, 2013. The formation of the Committee was a direct result of the Strategic Planning session held on January 13, 2012 and the Community Survey done in March 2012. One of the top goals was to create a budget advisory committee composed of citizens and one or two Councilmembers to review the Town’s financial position and make resource allocation and budget recommendations. Applications for citizen members were solicited and on October 9 seven members were appointed, Jack Barrows, Matt Brown, Liz Dahlgren, Gage Houser, Christopher Livermore, Roberta Robinson and John Wright. Unfortunately, Mr.
Barrows was unable to continue and resigned after the first meeting. Councilmember Lopin and Vice-Mayor Kroot were appointed as the non-voting Council representatives. Staff liaisons were the Town Manager and Finance and Administrative Services Director, with the Town Treasurer, Bess Niemcewicz, serving in an advisory capacity. The Committee met six times on November 7, 2012, December 4, 2012, January 16, 2013, February 28, 2013, March 25, 2013, and April 15, 2013.
DISCUSSION
The Committee’s final report is attached as Attachment 1. Committee members will present the report to the Council at the meeting. The report concludes that 1) the Town has done a good job managing its expenses and that it has already made significant accomplishments in reducing expenses, 2) they do not believe that there are further significant savings to be found in the Town budget, 3) that making further significant progress on meeting the Town’s identified needs will require going to voters for a supplemental tax measure, and 4) that infrastructure enhancements, specifically roads, should be of the highest priority.

Background
– Town Council appointed the Financial Advisory Committee (FAC) in October in response to the Strategic Planning Community Survey1 – The charge of the FAC was to review and become familiar with the Town’s financial position, budget, resource allocations and expenditures, and to make recommendations to the Town Council Process
– The FAC held six full committee meetings from November through April, and formed two subcommittees, one to look more closely at Town revenues and the other at expenses
– Town representatives were present at all Committee and subcommittee meetings
– The Strategic Planning Community Survey1, conducted in 2012, was used by the FAC as the framework for its recommendations regarding Town needs

Summary Findings
– The Committee concluded that the Town has done a good job managing its expenses and it has already made significant accomplishments in reducing expenses as a result of the police services consolidation (together with the much earlier fire services consolidation) and the two-tiered Town pension system
– The Committee does not believe there are further significant savings to be found in the Town budget
– The Committee concluded that making further significant progress on meeting the Town’s identified needs will require going to voters for a supplemental tax measure, and the Council should consider putting a sales tax measure on the November 2013 ballot
– The Committee concluded that infrastructure enhancements, specifically roads, should be of the highest priority. Recreation improvements are being addressed in a detailed master plan due for Town Council consideration in early 2014

Category Description Recommendation Benefit Complexity2 Estimated Revenue
Sales tax
A viable choice for bolstering San Anselmo’s general fund would be the imposition of a sales (transaction and use) tax in addition to the regular sales tax now paid. Revenue is variable
Recommendation: Pursue
•Currently San Anselmo is 1/2 cent lower than
all of our surrounding communities (Fairfax,
Novato, San Rafael)
•Instituting a 1/2 or 1 cent increase requires a
simple majority and must be enacted during a
regular municipal election (e.g. 11/2013)
•A special tax designated for a specific purpose
could be done at any time but would require a
2/3 vote
$500,000-
$1,000,000
Utility Users Tax
Both rates and the types of utilities to be included can be determined by the Town. Fairfax has a 4% UUT on gas, electric and phone bills and raises $355,000 annually. Revenue is variable.
Recommendation: Pursue as an alternative to
sales tax
•Instituting a utility user tax requires a simple
majority and must be enacted during a regular
municipal election (11/2013)
•A special tax designated for a specific purpose
could be done at any time but would require a
2/3 vote
•New UUTs are difficult to pass vote
~$600,000
Parcel Tax
These taxes are a form of property tax, however unlike standard property taxes, a parcel tax is an assessment based on the characteristics of the parcel, typically at a flat-rate. Revenue is predictable. San Anselmo has ~5,000 parcels
Recommendation: Do not pursue
•The two-thirds majority vote requirement
makes passage too difficult
~$500,0001

Sales Tax vs. Use Tax: Bradley-Burns
Sales Tax applies when goods are
located in state at the time sales
occur. This includes a stock of goods
held in a California warehouse,
fulfillment center or retail stores.
Use Tax applies when title to the
goods passes to purchaser at a point
outside of California. Goods
shipments from outside the state are
generally subject to use tax.

Allocation Of Bradley-Burns 1% Tax
PLACE OF SALE (where the

Town of San Anselmo
Staff Report
525 San Anselmo Avenue
San Anselmo, CA 94960
TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
FROM:
David P. Donery, Town Manager, Megan Acevedo, Town Attorney SUBJECT:
Consider introduction of an ordinance amending Chapter 5.03 of the San Anselmo Municipal Code to update the Town’s solid waste regulations in accordance with SB 1383 and consider adopt consider approving the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement between the Town of San Anselmo and Marin Sanitary Service
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council take the following actions to bring the Town into compliance with SB 1383:
1. Introduce by title only and waive further reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 5.03 of the San Anselmo Municipal Code to update the Town’s solid waste regulations in accordance with SB 1383 (Attachment 1); and
2. Adopt a resolution approving the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement between the Town of San Anselmo and Marin Sanitary Service (Attachment 3).
BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act of 2016, is part of a statewide effort to reduce the emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (like methane gas) in various sections of California’s economy. SB 1383 sets a target to divert 75% of organic waste from landfills and recover 20% of edible food for human consumption by 2025.
SB 1383 requires all jurisdictions in California to adopt a mandatory organics recycling ordinance by March of 2022. CalRecycle created a model ordinance to satisfy this requirement and staff worked with R3 Consulting Group (R3) and legal counsel to customize the model ordinance for the Town of San Anselmo. The proposed ordinance supports establishment of enforceable SB 1383 related requirements for organic waste generators, haulers, and others and contains similar language to other jurisdictions in Marin County.
DISCUSSION
The proposed ordinance imposes new waste disposal requirements on residents and businesses within the Town as required by SB 1383 (Attachment 1). The ordinance designates the Town as the enforcement agency but allows flexibility for the Town to delegate enforcement responsibility for certain portions of the ordinance Town of San Anselmo Page 1 of 4 Printed on 1/6/2022
powered by Legistar™169
TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
to other entities. Staff is continuing to work with R3, Marin Sanitary Service (MSS) and other jurisdictions to determine whether certain SB 1383 responsibilities can be shared through written agreements, however the Town itself remains responsible for SB 1383 compliance.
Key provisions of the proposed ordinance identified by staff and R3 are highlighted below (the list is not comprehensive):
§ Single-family, multi-family and businesses must subscribe to solid waste, recyclables and organics collection service and properly sort these materials.
§ Businesses and multi-family buildings must acquire and supply, through MSS (or any subsequent franchised waste hauler), an adequate number of labeled, color-coded containers for employees, contractors, tenants, and customers, consistent with the 3-container program provided by MSS (or selfhaul) and educate employees and tenants about proper sorting. § Businesses (excluding multi-family) must provide additional labeled or color-coded containers for organic waste and recyclable materials generated by that business in all areas where the business provides disposal containers (“user disposal containers”) for employees, tenants, customers, and other users of the premises. Commercial generators must also monitor containers for prohibited contaminants.
§ MSS must take organic materials to facilities that recover source-separated organic waste and recyclables to facilities that recover recyclable materials. § Self-haulers of organic materials must source-separate organics, take them to a facility that recovers organics and keep specified records.
§ Large, commercial edible-food generators must divert edible food through a written agreement with food recovery organizations and keep specified records. § Food recovery organizations and services must maintain certain records, including written agreements with edible food generators.
§ The Town’s right to inspect and enforce the requirements are contained in the ordinance. § Beginning in 2024, violation of any provision of the ordinance may result in a notice of violation and imposition of fines from the Town.
In addition to adopting an ordinance, SB 1383 regulations also require local jurisdictions to:
§ Ensure that collection containers provided by MSS meet color requirements and are labeled to specify the materials allowed in those containers.
§ Develop and implement an edible food recovery program that recovers edible food from designated commercial edible food generators for human consumption. § Review requests for waivers from organic waste collection requirements and approve commercial waivers that meet requirements.
§ Procure recycled content paper, and procure recovered organic waste products (i.e., compost, mulch, Town of San Anselmo Page 2 of 4 Printed on 1/6/2022
powered by Legistar™170
TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
biomass, and renewable natural gas) at levels prescribed by the state annually. § Ensure that education and outreach is conducted to all affected parties, including generators, haulers, facilities, and edible food recovery organizations.
§ Keep specified records and report implementation efforts. § Meet and enforce CALGreen and Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) requirements.
The Town of San Anselmo and regulated entities (with the exception of Tier 2 commercial edible food generators) must comply with nearly all SB 1383 requirements, with the exception that enforcement actions will not commence until January 1, 2024. More information regarding SB 1383 can be found at:
<https://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/organics/slcp%20>
In addition to the revisions related to SB 1383, Town staff and R3 took this opportunity to update the existing Town Code section to eliminate provisions that are better suited for the franchise agreement. A redline comparison between the existing Code section and the proposed Ordinance is included as Attachment 2 to this staff report.
AMENDMENT TO THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT FOR SB 1383
Council is also asked to adopt a resolution approving the First Amendment to the Amendment and Restatement of Franchise Agreement between the Town of San Anselmo and Marin Sanitary Service (Attachment 3). San Anselmo’s franchise agreement sets the services and standards for MSS to conduct waste management activities and bill customers. SB 1383 establishes specific services and ways to provide those services by waste haulers, and accordingly requires updates to the Franchise Agreement. This amendment reflects the additional requirements related to SB 1383 and makes more explicit many of the services MSS offers.
A summary of the items proposed in the amendment include:
· Full roll-out of three-container waste collection (including garbage, recycling and organics) to all customer types in compliance with SB 1383 requirements by January 1, 2024. · Container labels to meet SB 1383 standards for all new containers put into service. · Outreach and education, including development and distribution of materials. · Evaluation of waiver requests for exemption from the requirement to subscribe to recycling and organics service (the Town retains the responsibility for approving such requests). · Route reviews and notices for contamination monitoring. · Site visits to customers to provide educational materials and assistance in proper sorting; and for customers not signed up for recycling or organics service to encourage them to subscribe. · Reporting to the Town and State on compliance activities; and reports to the Town on observed noncompliance for Town enforcement action.

TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact as a result of adopting this ordinance and approving the amended agreement.
However, the financial impact of implementing SB 1383 may range from small to significant for the Town and its solid waste ratepayers as a result of implementation and enforcement costs and future franchise agreements with waste haulers.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
Adoption of the ordinance and approval of the amended agreement are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review because it does not constitute a project under CEQA pursuant to Guideline 15378 (b)(5), which provides that organizational and administrative activities of governments that will not result in physical changes in the environment are not considered projects for CEQA purposes.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO AMENDING MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE 5, CHAPTER 3 TO UPDATE THE TOWN’S SOLID WASTE REGULATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SB 1383
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1383 is a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants; and
WHEREAS, the Bill directed California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (“CalRecycle”) to adopt regulations to reduce disposal of organic waste by 50 percent from its 2014 baseline level by 2020 and 75 percent by 2025; and WHEREAS, SB 1383 also requires the regulations to recover, for human consumption, at least 20 percent of edible food that is currently thrown away; and WHEREAS, CalRecycle promulgated regulations as directed in SB 1383 in Chapter 12 (ShortLived Climate Pollutants) of Division 7 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“SB 1383 Regulations”);
WHEREAS, the SB 1383 Regulations require cities, counties, and special districts providing solid waste collection services to adopt and enforce an ordinance or other enforceable mechanism to implement relevant provisions of the SB 1383 Regulations including regulation of waste haulers and generators of organic waste and edible food, and enforcement mechanisms and penalties for violations; and

For the purposes of this chapter, certain words and phrases used in this chapter are defined as follows:
“Act” means the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (commencing with Section 40000 of the Public Resources Code), as amended, including but not limited to, the Jobs and Recycling Act of 2011 (AB 341), SB 1016 (Chapter 343, Statutes of 2008 [Wiggins, SB 1016]), the Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling Act of 2014 (AB 1826), and the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Bill of 2016 (SB 1383), and as implemented by the regulations of CalRecycle.

TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
FROM
David P. Donery, Town Manager
RECOMMENDATION
1) Conduct a public hearing to consider the proposed Marin Sanitary Service (MSS) collection rates. 2) Adopt the attached Resolution establishing maximum rates collected by Marin Sanitary Service for solid waste, recycling, and organic waste services, to be effective January 1, 2022 (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND
Each year, the Town Council holds a public hearing to set the maximum collection rates that can be charged by MSS in the Town of San Anselmo. These rates are based on a specific methodology contained in the Franchise Agreement with MSS. This methodology was changed in 2019 when the Council adopted the Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement with MSS.
The rate-setting methodology requires a detailed analysis, which was conducted by R3 Consulting Group. (Attachment 4). Based on R3’s review, the proposed increase in 2022 for San Anselmo customers is 2.88%. In 2021, the rate was increased by 3.95%
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
At the December 14, 2021 Town Council meeting, the Town Conducted a public hearing to consider the proposed Marin Sanitary Service (MSS) collection rates. At that meeting, Councilmember Greene questioned the use of Federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds in the rate calculations for 2022.
Garth Schultz from R3 Consulting prepared the attached memo (Attachment 5) and Town staff and Mr. Schultz met with Councilmember Greene and discussed his concerns. The memo provides background and analysis of MSS’s PPP loan forgiveness. The memo explains how the PPP funds are being used within MSS.
As stated in the memo, collection services provided under the MSS agreements are funded by solid waste rates paid by ratepayers, which are heard and approved annually by the franchising public agencies. Annual adjustments to rates considered by the agencies take into account either a) projections of compensation due to MSS via an “indexed rate adjustment” methodology, or b) projections of MSS’s forecasted cost of operations via a “base year rate adjustment” methodology. In both cases, determination of the contractually established annual rate adjustments are predicated only on rate revenues paid to MSS by ratepayers, as those are the sole recurring form of compensation that MSS receives for provision of collection services.
The MSS rate adjustment methodology (and other similar rate adjustment methodologies for most other solid waste agreements in California) does not include one-times grants in the determination of contractually Town of San Anselmo Page 1 of 3 Printed on 1/6/2022
powered by Legistar™222
TO: Town Council Meeting of 1/11/2022
allowed adjustments to rate revenues. Contractually speaking, the Town and its ratepayers have no claim on the PPP proceeds, and MSS is under no obligation to report or include the proceeds in determining annual rate revenue adjustments.
However, and despite having no obligation to do so, MSS notified its franchising agencies about the PPP proceeds, and voluntarily waived a portion of its contractually allowed rate adjustment for 2022, which was to the benefit of ratepayers. Moreover, ratepayers have and will continue to benefit from MSS’s receipt of PPP proceeds, while MSS has and will continue to incur near-term revenue shortfalls and cash flow impacts.
Rate Chart
Rate increases over the last seven years, some substantial, were necessary to cover the cost of providing refuse and recycling services in San Anselmo. The table below reflects the monthly cost of a 32-gallon can over the past seven calendar years:
Year Increase (%) New 32-gal. rate ($) Increase ($)
2015 2.77 34.64 .93
2016 5.71 36.62 1.98
2017 5.71 38.71 2.09
2018 5.57 40.87 2.16
2019 9.56 44.78 3.91
2020 7.09 47.95 3.17
2021 3.95 49.84 1.89
Total incr. 2015-21 40.36 16.13
CEQA AND CONSISTENCY WITH CLIMATE ACTION PLAN 2030
Adoption of the attached resolution increasing MSS customer rates is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because it does not involve an activity which has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21065).
Moreover, the Town Council finds that even if it were considered a project, adoption of the resolution is exempt from the CEQA under CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that approval of the customer rates may have a significant effect on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Increases in MSS’s rates will result in slight increases to the franchise fees paid by MSS to the Town.
CONCLUSION
The Franchise Agreement for solid waste, recycling, and organic waste services is available on the Town’s website at:

TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO
STAFF REPORT
For the Meeting of December 14, 2021
TO: Town Council
FROM: David P. Donery, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Marin Sanitary Service Rate Increase
_____________________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
1) Conduct a public hearing to consider the proposed Marin Sanitary Service (MSS) collection rates. 2) Adopt the attached Resolution establishing maximum rates collected by Marin Sanitary Service for solid waste, recycling, and organic waste services, to be effective January 1, 2022 (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND
Each year, the Town Council holds a public hearing to set the maximum collection rates that can be charged by MSS in the Town of San Anselmo. These rates are based on a specific methodology contained in the Franchise Agreement with MSS. This methodology was changed in 2019 when the Council adopted an amendment to the Franchise Agreement with MSS.
The rate-setting methodology requires a detailed analysis, which was conducted by R3 Consulting Group. (Attachment 3). Based on R3’s review, the proposed increase in 2022 for San Anselmo customers is 2.88%. In 2021, the rate was increased by 3.95%
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MSS is the Town’s sole provider of refuse hauling and recycling services and performs these services in many surrounding communities, as well. The Franchise Agreement between the Town and MSS outlines the services that must be provided by MSS, as well as a methodology to be followed to set customer rates each year.
For many years, the Town accepted the results of a rate study that had been conducted by what has been known as the Marin Franchisors Group. San Anselmo had not been a member of the Franchisors Group, yet the contract with MSS called for the Town’s rate increase methodology to be the same as that for the Franchisors Group and assumed that the Town would receive the same increase.
As stated in the Rate Review at Attachment 3, 2021 was the first year that the Towns of San Anselmo and Fairfax were included in this rate-setting application. This report summarizes results from a review of MSS’s 2022 indexed rate application per the new streamlined rate-setting methodology established in 2019. The new methodology is described in the amended Exhibit B to the MSS Franchise Agreement with the Town, which was ratified by all agencies except San Anselmo and Fairfax during the 2019 Rate 225
Application process, and which San Anselmo and Fairfax adopted during the 2020 Rate Application process. This is the first consolidated report of an MSS area-wide rate application, incorporating all agencies.
The new rate methodology is intended to provide more stable and predictable rates while continuing verifiable high levels of service. Key differences between rate reviews prior to 2019 and the current methodology are listed below.
• The Recycling Reserve Fund was replaced with a net processing fee structure that allows MSS an annually adjusted processing fee minus revenues from the sale of recyclable materials. This new method of calculating recycling in the annual rate application includes an incentive for MSS to seek the best prices for selling the materials, while also providing a mechanism to ensure revenues help offset customer rates when markets are good.
• The new methodology sets rates based on revenues due to MSS, which are escalated annually based on one simple Water, Sewer, and Trash (WST) index (which has increased between 2 to 5% annually in recent years). This places more incentive on MSS to live within the regulated revenue amount. • The new methodology includes a 2.5% minimum and a 5% maximum rate cap for MSS’ operational expenses. This excludes franchise/agency fees and the cost of processing, recycling, composting and disposal. The proposed rate increase includes this adjustment.
MSS also provides garbage and recycling pick-up for agreed upon Town facilities, parks, and sidewalk receptacles. MSS is a key partner in the Town’s environmental goals, as well as the Town and County’s Zero Waste Goals. MSS conducts the majority of the outreach and monitoring for the Town for the State’s Mandatory Commercial Recycling and Mandatory Composting laws (AB 341, AB 1826, and SB 1383). These laws place requirements on businesses to recycle and compost and require annual monitoring and notifications to non-compliant businesses.
MSS also has a robust community outreach and education program and they conduct numerous programs and community offerings, including an annual free compost giveaway and customer education event. All their services including a “Where Does it Go, Joe?” recycling lookup feature can be found on their new website: https://marinsanitaryservice.com.
Changes in the Industry
First, recognizing the negative impacts of organic materials decomposing in landfills on climate change, the State of California mandated that businesses of certain sizes compost their organic materials. The State now also mandates that all residents and businesses compost their organic waste (AB 1826 and SB 1383). Staff anticipates bringing an ordinance to this effect to the Council in January, 2022.
Additionally, the State may place new requirements on local governments to implement, monitor, and enforce participation in organic waste programs. These requirements are complicated by the fact that there continues to be a depression in the recycling commodities markets, resulting in losses for recyclers throughout the State.
226
Proposed Rates for 2022
Attachment 2 to this report is a rate application letter from MSS. Attachment 3 is a report from R3 that provides its third party, independent assessment of MSS and its application of the rate methodology.
This application provides an overall perspective of the proposed rate increase. However, the actual increase in each jurisdiction is based on the application of the methodology to the specific customer base. R3 reviewed the application and all relevant documents and financial schedules with MSS and recommends an increase of 2.88% to the Town of San Anselmo’s rates in 2022. As in previous years, staff is recommending that the rate adjustment be applied across the board to all residential, multifamily and commercial service accounts. The new rates reflective of this increase can be found in the exhibit to the draft resolution for this public hearing.
CEQA AND CONSISTENCY WITH CLIMATE ACTION PLAN 2030
Adoption of the attached resolution increasing MSS customer rates is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because it does not involve an activity which has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Cal.
Pub. Res. Code § 21065). Moreover, the Town Council finds that even if it were considered a project, adoption of the resolution is exempt from the CEQA under CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that approval of the customer rates may have a significant effect on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Increases in MSS’s rates will result in slight increases to the franchise fees paid by MSS to the Town.
CONCLUSION
The Franchise Agreement for solid waste, recycling, and organic waste services is available on the Town’s website at: https://www.townofsananselmo.org/DocumentCenter/View/25276/Amended-andRestated-MSS-Franchise-Agreement-San-Anselmo-11-26-2019.

WHEREAS, Marin Sanitary Service (“MSS”) provides residential, commercial and multifamily solid waste services, including garbage, recycling and organics collection and processing; and
WHEREAS, MSS also provides garbage, recycling, and organics pick-up for Town of San Anselmo (“Town”) facilities, parks, and sidewalk receptacles downtown and throughout Town; and
WHEREAS, at its meeting of November 26, 2019, the Town Council adopted a resolution approving an Amended and Restated Collection Agreement with MSS for provision of these solid waste services for a ten-year period beginning on January 1, 2020 (“Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement”); and

Subject: Review of Marin Sanitary Service’s 2022 Rate Application Dear Mr. Donery,
R3 Consulting Group, Inc. (R3) is pleased to submit this report detailing the results of our review of Marin Sanitary Service’s (MSS’s) 2022 rate application for the Town of San Anselmo (Town). This review was conducted pursuant to R3’s engagement with the seven agencies (Agencies) served by MSS, including the City of San Rafael, County of Marin, Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District, City of Larkspur, Town of Ross, Town of Fairfax, and the Town of San Anselmo.
This report summarizes results from our review of MSS’s 2022 indexed rate application per the streamlined rate setting methodology established in 2019. The methodology is described in the amended Exhibit B to the Franchise Agreement that the Town holds with MSS.
Executive Summary
On August 30, 2021, MSS submitted its application for an increase to its solid waste rates, to be effective January 1, 2022. This is an indexed year rate adjustment, which primarily projects compensation due to MSS based on the applicable water-sewer-trash CPI Index (WST). Per Exhibit B, the rate adjustment is subject to a 2.5% minimum and a 5% maximum rate cap for MSS’ operations.
Based on our review of the rate application, R3 concurs with MSS’s calculated 2022 rate revenue requirement of $4,687,708 for the Town in 2022, which is $131,302 higher than the 2021 rate revenue requirement of $4,556,407.
The corresponding adjustment to the Town’s solid waste rates for 2022 is 2.88%. Table 1, on the following page, compares the 2021 and 2022 rate revenue requirements and demonstrates the rate adjustment calculations for 2022.
