TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
Fiscal Year 2023-2024

PURPOSE
This Statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the Town’s temporary idle cash, and to outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the Town’s cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the Town while protecting its pooled cash. The Statement of Investment Policy is reviewed annually by the Town Council, and any modifications to the statement must be approved by the Town Council.

OBJECTIVE
The Town’s cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the town to invest funds to the fullest extent possible.

The town attempts to obtain the highest yield obtainable as long as investments meet the criteria established for safety and liquidity.

POLICY
San Anselmo operates its temporary pooled idle cash investments under the prudent investor standard as defined in Government Code Section 53600.3. “When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence… that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.” This affords the Town a broad spectrum of investment opportunities as long as the investment is deemed prudent and is allowable under Government Code Section 53600, et seq.

Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:

1. Safety: The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal and interest, or a combination of these elements. There is safety if there is assurance that principal will be preserved.

2. Liquidity: An investment is liquid if it can be converted to cash with a minimal chance of losing principal or interest.

3. Yield: Yield is the potential earnings of an investment, or its rate of return. 406
ITEM 1.7 – ATTACHMENT 2

ITEM 1.7 – ATTACHMENT 2
ITEM 1.7 – ATTACHMENT 2
Town Constraints:

The Town strives to maintain the level of investment of all funds as near to 100% as possible through daily and projected cash flow determinations. Idle cash management and investment transactions are the responsibility of the Finance and Administrative Services Director.

All participants in the investment process shall act responsibly as custodians of the public trust.

Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. The overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. Nevertheless, in a diversified portfolio, it must be recognized that occasional measured losses are inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s investment return, provided that adequate diversification has been implemented. The basic premise underlying the Town’s Investment Policy is to ensure the Town’s financial integrity.

Central Marin Police Authority recommends that the streets be closed two hours prior to the event for the safety of the families. The earlier street closure will allow for pedestrians to safely arrive for the event after all vehicles have cleared from San Anselmo Avenue. Therefore, CMPA is recommending that San Anselmo Avenue between Tunstead Avenue and Tamalpais Avenue be closed to incoming traffic at 3:00pm and closing San Anselmo to all vehicles from 4:00pm8:00pm.

FISCAL IMPACT
Due to a confirmed sponsorship, there would be no direct fiscal impact to the Town to approve this item.

AGENDA TITLE: Consideration of Special Event Application – Three Gents Theatre Company’s Twelfth Night 2023
FROM: Mattie O’Grady – Recreation Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the Three Gent’s and San Anselmo Recreation Department’s application for the Twelfth Night community theatre productions scheduled for September 10th, 17th, and 24th, 2023, from 12:00 – 5:00 pm at Creek Park.

BACKGROUND
Three Gents Theatre Co. is a new Marin-based theatre company that offers exciting and accessible theatre to the Ross Valley and North Bay community. Drawing from a diverse local pool of trained artists, including theater educators and creators with over 40 years of combined experience in specialties ranging from Musical Theater, Mime, Clowning, Acrobatics, and countless musical instruments. They would like to bring their production of Twelfth Night to the Creek Park stage this summer as an opportunity to provide free Shakespeare in park to the greater North Bay community, and to invite community to engage in the thriving downtown San Anselmo community.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Each show will be approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes long, from 2:00-3:45pm.

This event will have very low impact on the park and require very little staff time or infrastructure. All performances will be acoustic and therefore will not require amplification. All set pieces will be loaded in the day of the performance and loaded out immediately following. Nothing will be permanently affixed to the stage or cause any damage to the stage area. This is a free event for all ages and therefore will not require perimeter fencing.

San Anselmo Recreation has been interested in adding community theatre to its list of annual events, and due to the low impact and staff time required for this event series, 417
Item #: 1.10
feel this is a good opportunity to see if theatre is a good fit for the community and addition to the town wide event calendar.

FISCAL IMPACT
There would be no direct fiscal impact on the Town to approve this item.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 3.1
MEETING DATE: August 22, 2023
AGENDA TITLE: Memorial Park Athletic Field Renovation Project FROM: Public Works
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Receive an update on the Memorial Park Athletic Field grass; and

2. Accept the Memorial Park Athletic Field Renovation project and authorize staff to file a Notice of Completion.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On August 5, 2022, the Memorial Park Athletic Field Renovation Project was awarded to Marina Landscape in the amount of $593,490.97. The Engineer’s Estimate was $800,000, and the second lowest bid was $796,350. Marina was also the low bidder in 2021 for the project, which was delayed due to the ongoing drought. With change orders (about 10% of the bid amount), the total construction cost was $653,699.54.

The project scope included tilling the top 12” of the field, regrading the field for improved drainage, soil amendment (120 bags of fertilizer), installing new irrigation piping and sprinkler heads, improving the water wells, installing a recycled water line for future use, subsurface infiltration drainage at the outfields, laying Fescue sod, followed by a 90-day maintenance period. The sod placement started November 28, but was delayed by an atmospheric river, with the last of the sod installed on December 22.

The 90-day maintenance period extended to the end of March. The temporary fence was removed and the field opened to the public on February 21 but ideally would have been closed longer to allow the sod to take root.

Throughout the summer, staff (as well as the public) noticed that areas of the field were turning brown. Staff hired a turf consultant, Brian Nettz, who manages all of the turf areas at the Presidio in San Francisco, including the Presidio Golf Course, the Main Parade Grounds and the Crissy Field lawns. Mr. Nettz’s first observation was that the Memorial Park field has an extremely high amount of use, from dog walkers starting at 428
Item #: 3.1
daybreak, picnics, sports camps, softball, soccer, parties (with bounce houses), etc. In his opinion, the fields are used more intensely than at Crissy Field, and thus, the field is in a ‘constant state of recovery’ and needs constant attention to maintain turf health.

Mr. Nettz has been making weekly site visits, and has the following list of recommendations for town staff:

Based on evapo-transporation (ET) tables for our area, the Town should be watering approximately 1.5” of water per week. This should be applied over 3 or 4 nights per week to allow the turf to dry out a bit between waterings. Past practice on the old lawn was watering 6 nights per week throughout most of the summer. This worked well on the established lawn with deep roots (8-12”), but was not ideal for the new lawn with shallower roots (1”). It takes several years for the roots to grow deep, and watering alternate days helps encourage deep root growth.

Staff has been using irrigation cups to accurately measure the water applied at different parts of the field during the overnight watering. Mr. Nettz also recommends fine-tuning each area of the field by monitoring water pressure at each sprinkler head, changing orifice size of specific heads if needed, and adjusting run-times in each zone to give each area the correct amount of water.

Mr. Nettz also recommends fertilizing the field every 5 to 6 weeks. This should be done in concert with core aeration and overseeding with ryegrass. The Town owns a ‘tine’ aerator that pokes holes in the turf to allow oxygen and water to better penetrate. Mr.

Nettz recommends a ‘core’ aerator that cuts out plugs of grass and soil several inches deep that are later broken up and spread over the grass (with the ryegrass seed) by dragging a screen across the field. Core aerators cost approximately $65,000. Staff will look into renting one to test it out.

Mr. Nettz said it would be ideal to have one day of rest for the field each week, but that is not practical with a much-loved field with such intense use. Recovery will have to wait until the winter months.

While the fields have received much needed grading, drainage, and irrigation improvements along with the new grass sod, the long-term care of the fields will be ongoing and in constant need of maintenance due to the high use. Town staff will continue to monitor and improve field maintenance, but this will take staff time and Town funds on an ongoing basis if we wish to keep the field healthy and vibrant.

FISCAL IMPACT
Work was substantially completed in accordance with the project plans and specifications, and fully available for use on February 21, 2023.

The total construction cost of the project was $653,699.54, about 10% over the bid amount.
429
Item #: 3.1
Funding for the project was included in the Town’s 2022/2023 Budget and Work Plan, and is available from the following sources:

Measure A County Sales Tax for Parks $421,427.00
State Bond for Parks (Proposition 68) $177,982.00
Measure D $ 54,290.54
Total $653,699.54

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The project is consistent with the General Plan Parks and Recreation Goals.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Town finds this project to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1, because it involves repair of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use. (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301).

The Memorial Park Athletic Field Renovation Project addressed San Anselmo’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) 2030, specifically CAP Measure C-2, replace inefficient irrigation systems. The improvements to the walking and biking path addressed CAP Measure T-2 (Bicycling) and T-3 (Walking).

TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 3.2
MEETING DATE: August 22, 2023
AGENDA TITLE: Memorial Park Parking Lot Renovation Project FROM: Public Works
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Town Manager to award the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder.

BACKGROUND
At the February 14, 2023 Council meeting, the Town Council approved plans and specifications for improvements at the Memorial Park Parking Lot. The improvements include repaving the parking lot, installing sidewalks on both sides of the lot, replacing the concrete valley gutter, installing bioretention to treat the storm drainage, paving the path between the restroom and Alderney Road, installing conduit for future EV charging and solar panels, installing piping for future recycled water, and installation of solar pedestrian path lighting.

The design consultant’s Engineer’s Estimate was $1,066,500, which included a 10% contingency. Town staff thought some elements would cost less, and estimated the project would cost about $875,000.

The project was put out to bid on June 30, and bids were opened on August 8. One bid was received from Ghilotti Bros., Inc. for $1,099,695. The bid is responsive, and the bidder is responsible.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The construction bid is above the available funds for the project. The Project Specifications allow the Town to delete entire bid items from the project. Staff has identified several bid items that can be deleted, including fencing around the bioretention area, as well as additional decomposed granite areas adjacent to the picnic area. Deleting these items and other modifications during construction can potentially reduce the project cost by about $244,000 while maintaining the required project elements approved by the Town Council.
432
Item #: 3.2
California Public Contracts Code does not allow the contractor and the Town to negotiate elements of the work prior to awarding the contract, so if the Town Council approves, the Town Manager will sign the contract for the bid amount, which will allow Town staff and the contractor to value-engineer several items during construction.

In addition, several bid items (electrical conduit for future EV charging stations) may be covered by grants, further reducing the project cost to the Town.

Memorial Park will turn 100 years old in 2026 and is in much need of repair. The replacement of the athletic fields, the rehabilitation of the playgrounds and skatepark, and the widening of the path to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians are major steps in the right direction towards restoring the Town’s jewel of a park. However, repairing the dilapidated parking lot and bringing it up to State code requirements for accessibility while installing new sidewalks, a stormwater bioretention facility, purple pipe for future grey or black water, as well as EV charging stations (with the capacity to add more in the future), along with potential solar panels is a significant improvement to the park that includes green technology throughout.

While the bid is higher than expected Town staff will work with the contractor to value engineer the project per the specifications thus reducing cost but maintaining the required elements of the project. Therefore, staff recommend that Council authorize the Town Manager to award the project with the goal of reducing the costs as outlined above.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Memorial Park Parking Lot Renovation Project has an Engineer’s Estimate of $875,000 from Town staff which would come from Measure D funds with additional potential funding coming from grants for EV charging.

Estimated construction cost after deleting or revising certain bid items $856,000 Construction contingency (10%) $86,000
Total construction cost $942,000
Available Funding:

Measure D $594,000
Measure J $62,000
General Fund reserve funds $286,000
Total funding $942,000

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
This project is consistent with the General Plan Parks and Recreation goals.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Town finds this project to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents under the California Environmental Quality Act 433
Item #: 3.2
(CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1, because it involves repair of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use. (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301).

The Memorial Park Parking Lot Renovation Project will address San Anselmo’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) 2030, specifically CAP Measure T-1, T-2, and T-3, EV charging, improved bike paths, and new sidewalks, respectively. Future improvements may also address energy conservation, E-8, if solar panels were installed.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 3.3
MEETING DATE: August 22, 2023
AGENDA TITLE: Introduce an Ordinance Amending the Town’s Green Building Regulations
FROM: Sean Youra, Climate Action Coordinator
Erica Freeman, Building Official
RECOMMENDATION:

An ordinance of the Town repealing and replacing San Anselmo municipal code title 9 (building regulations) chapter 19 (green building requirements) to adopt amendments to the California green building standards code to reflect local conditions.

BACKGROUND
On February 14, 2023, staff presented the background and details of the County’s green building model reach code to the Town Council. The model reach code was developed in collaboration with local jurisdiction staff and stakeholders including community-based organizations, the building community, utilities, Town/City commissions, Town/City councilmembers, and residents.

On June 27, 2023, staff presented recommendations for adoption of the requirements in the model reach code including the following recommended revisions:
 Not including the all-electric requirements for new construction.  Not including separate EV charging infrastructure requirements for hotels and motels.
 Add a requirement for new multifamily construction to install long-term bike parking per CALGreen Section A4.106.9.2.

The Town Council directed staff to bring back an ordinance for first reading that incorporates the model reach code requirements with staff recommended revisions.

However, the Council also directed staff to bring back examples of projects that would have to comply with the electric-readiness requirements as covered in Table 3 of the model reach code. Additionally, the Council directed staff to evaluate whether any CALGreen Tier 2 requirements should be considered for adoption rather than just 435
Item #: 3.3
CALGreen Tier 1 requirements as covered in Section 19.04.135 and Table 1 of the model reach code.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The proposed Ordinance incorporates the model reach code requirements with staff recommended revisions (Attachment 1). Staff has also analyzed the electric-readiness requirements and CALGreen requirements further, which are discussed in the following sections and include staff recommendations for these specific requirements that are already incorporated in the proposed Ordinance.

Electric-Readiness Requirements and Costs
The electric-readiness requirements and exemptions in the model reach code that apply to single-family additions and alterations affecting 750 or more square feet are summarized below based on whether the project includes a laundry room remodel, a kitchen remodel, and/or an electrical panel upgrade. Electric-readiness means that wiring, outlets, and sufficient electrical capacity are provided for the future installation of electric appliances. Importantly, none of the projects covered in the table require all appliances in the home to be electric-ready. Rather, the specific electric-readiness requirements are dependent on the type of project (e.g., an applicable laundry room remodel would require the clothes dryer to be electric-ready). These requirements are further detailed in Table 3, Measure ER2 of the model reach code.

Alternative Rates for Energy
(CARE) or Family Electric Rate
Assistance (FERA) programs
It is generally difficult to estimate costs with these types of projects due to the number of different factors that can influence the total cost. However, based on a cost analysis previously presented to the Town Council at the June 27th meeting, the average cost for an electrical panel upgrade is approximately $6,750 before incentives. This is slightly higher than the County’s estimated cost range of $4,000 - $6,000 for an electrical panel upgrade. With Electrify Marin rebates and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax credit, this cost can be reduced to $5,650 or $5,150 (for low-income qualified homeowners).

Future IRA rebates that are expected to be available by the end of the year will cover up to $4,000 of the panel upgrade cost for low- and moderate-income households. A $2,000 rebate for electrical panel upgrades will also be available to homeowners that also install a heat pump water heater (HPWH) as part of the TECH Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) program that will be available in Q3 2023. As stated in the requirements in the table above, the electrical panel does not need to be upgraded to 437
Item #: 3.3
200 A for kitchen and laundry remodels if it can be shown through load calculations that 100 A would provide sufficient capacity for future installation of electric appliances.

Estimated wiring costs specific to kitchen or laundry remodels could not be determined, but wiring for 240 V circuits for applicable electric appliances in a home is estimated to be around $2,000 - $2,500. Costs can be significantly reduced or eliminated if 240 V circuits aren’t required and the existing 120 V circuits can be used. Additionally, up to $2,500 in IRA rebates will be available to low- and moderate-income households to cover electrical wiring costs associated with installing electric appliances.

Based on the analysis discussed above, staff still recommends that the electricreadiness requirements be included in the adoption of the proposed Ordinance. It is important for single-family homes, which make up the majority of the building stock in San Anselmo, to start planning for the future electrification of appliances if the Town is to achieve its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals by 2030 and to reduce the negative public health impacts associated with the use of gas appliances that were discussed with the Council at the February 14th meeting. The costs associated with the electric-readiness requirements can be avoided through careful planning in many cases or can be significantly reduced by applying for applicable rebates and tax credits.

CALGreen Tier 1 vs. Tier 2 Requirements
Part 11 of the California Building Standards Code includes green building standards referred to as CALGreen. These green building standards were developed in an effort to meet the GHG emissions reduction goals codified in AB 32. The main intent of CALGreen is to ensure sustainable construction practices for both new buildings and applicable additions and alterations. CALGreen includes five main divisions:

1. Planning and Design (includes EV charging infrastructure requirements)

2. Energy Efficiency

3. Water Efficiency and Conservation

4. Material Conservation and Resource Efficiency

5. Environmental Quality
Separate mandatory requirements for each division are included for both residential (Chapter 4) and nonresidential (Chapter 5) buildings. Additional voluntary standards for residential (Appendix A4) and nonresidential (Appendix A5) buildings are also included in CALGreen, which are referred to as CALGreen Tier 1 and Tier 2. Local jurisdictions have the authority to adopt these more stringent voluntary standards rather than the minimum mandatory standards to further minimize the building’s impact on the environment and promote more sustainable design. CALGreen Tier 1 requirements are more stringent than the mandatory requirements while CALGreen Tier 2 requirements are more stringent than both Tier 1 and the mandatory requirements. CALGreen Tier 2 also requires more elective measures from some of the divisions (i.e., Planning and Design, Water Efficiency and Conservation, and Material Conservation and Resource Efficiency) to be implemented compared to Tier 1. A summary of the differences between CALGreen Tier 1 and Tier 2 for residential and nonresidential buildings is provided in Attachment 2. Any text in red denotes new requirements in the 2022 version of CALGreen compared to the previous 2019 version.
438
Item #: 3.3
As summarized in Table 1 of the proposed Ordinance, CALGreen Tier 1 requirements would apply in the following scenarios:
 New construction (applies to any building type)
 Single-family additions/alterations affecting 750 sq. ft. or greater  Multifamily additions/alterations affecting 750 sq. ft. or greater  Nonresidential additions/alterations
This is similar to San Anselmo’s current green building code, but instead of requiring CALGreen Tier 1 for single-family or multifamily additions/alterations affecting 1,200 or more sq. ft., the proposed Ordinance lowers the threshold to 750 sq. ft. The proposed Ordinance also uses a three-year period instead of a one-year period for determining whether the cumulative project size of the additions/alterations within that period are subject to the CALGreen Tier 1 requirements.

Based on a review of the CALGreen Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements, staff recommends only requiring CALGreen Tier 1 for the scenarios discussed above for the following reasons:
 San Anselmo has historically adopted CALGreen Tier 1 including for the current 2022 code cycle that remains in effect until 2025.
 No other Marin jurisdictions have adopted CALGreen Tier 2 and very few jurisdictions across the State have adopted Tier 2.
 The CALGreen code cautions jurisdictions that may be considering adopting CALGreen Tier 2 stating, “The measures necessary to achieve Tier 2 status are very stringent. Cities, counties, and cities and counties considering adoption of Tier 2 as mandatory should carefully consider the stringency of each measure and ensure that the measures are achievable in their location.” It is difficult to ascertain whether the more stringent CALGreen Tier 2 measures are achievable for projects in San Anselmo.
 It is unlikely that adopting CALGreen Tier 2 requirements will lead to substantial GHG emissions reductions or other environmental benefits compared to Tier 1 requirements, but will likely add additional costs for projects to comply.

Furthermore, it’s expected that lowering the requirement threshold from 1,200 to 750 sq. ft. for single-family and multifamily additions/alterations that have to comply with CALGreen Tier 1 will have a significantly greater effect on emissions reductions than adopting Tier 2 instead of Tier 1 requirements.  The proposed Ordinance already exceeds both CALGreen Tier 1 and Tier 2 for the EV charging infrastructure requirements, specifically for new multifamily construction and additions/alterations of single-family, multifamily, and nonresidential buildings.
439
Item #: 3.3
 Requiring a mix of CALGreen Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements would complicate the code making it more difficult for project applicants to understand and more difficult for building department staff to enforce. Additionally, one of the original goals of developing a model reach code was to have more consistency in green building requirements across all Marin jurisdictions. If requirements become too complicated or burdensome, this can lead to permit avoidance.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the Town to adopt the proposed Ordinance. However, staff time will be required to implement the Ordinance including developing green building checklists and other materials to assist in compliance.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed Ordinance is consistent with the Town’s General Plan including the conservation goals in the Conservation Element.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
Adoption of this Ordinance does not require review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not constitute a “project” pursuant to California Public Resources Code section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines section 15378, as its adoption does not involve an activity that has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

The proposed Ordinance is consistent with the following measures in the Town’s Climate Action Plan including:
 E-4: Green Building Reach Code: Investigate adopting a green building ordinance for new and remodeled commercial and residential projects that requires green building methods and energy efficiency savings above the State building and energy codes. Consider utilizing the County's green building ordinance as a model and including the use of photovoltaic systems and allelectric building systems as options to achieve compliance.  R-3: Building and Appliance Electrification: Promote electrification of building systems and appliances that currently use natural gas, including heating systems, hot water heaters, stoves, and clothes dryers.

CONCLUSION
Staff respectfully requests Council’s introduction of the proposed Ordinance.

Item 3.3 Attachment 1
Item 3.3 Attachment 1
2 SECTION 2. Findings
Pursuant to Section 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.4 of the California Health and Safety Code, the Town Council of the Town of San Anselmo determines and that the modifications to the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code Chapters 3, 4 and 5, as set forth in this subchapter, are reasonably necessary because of San Anselmo's local topographical and environmental conditions. Specifically, the steep terrain, narrow roads, proximity to the San Andreas and Hayward seismic faults, and the potential flooding of the San Anselmo Creek are unique conditions that require special consideration whenever construction is proposed within the Town. Additionally, due to the high temperatures, humidity, rainfall, wind, and the lack of water supply for domestic use and fire suppression, the Town is susceptible to wildfires resulting from climate change.

WHEREAS, the Town Council desires to adopt the County Green Building Ordinance with modifications, as its provisions are appropriate for the Town and will allow for more consistent Green Building requirements in Marin jurisdictions;

NOW, THEREFORE, THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Environmental Review
Adoption of this Ordinance does not require review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not constitute a “project” pursuant to California Public Resources Code section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines section 15378, as its adoption does not involve an activity that has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. 469
Item 3.3 Attachment 1
Item 3.3 Attachment 1
2 SECTION 2. Findings
Pursuant to Section 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.4 of the California Health and Safety Code, the Town Council of the Town of San Anselmo determines and that the modifications to the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code Chapters 3, 4 and 5, as set forth in this subchapter, are reasonably necessary because of San Anselmo's local topographical and environmental conditions. Specifically, the steep terrain, narrow roads, proximity to the San Andreas and Hayward seismic faults, and the potential flooding of the San Anselmo Creek are unique conditions that require special consideration whenever construction is proposed within the Town. Additionally, due to the high temperatures, humidity, rainfall, wind, and the lack of water supply for domestic use and fire suppression, the Town is susceptible to wildfires resulting from climate change.

SECTION 3. Repeal and Replace Title 9 (Building Regulations) Chapter 19 (Green Building Requirements).

San Anselmo Municipal Code Title 9, Chapter 19 is hereby repealed and replaced with the following in its entirety.
9-19.010 Purpose.

Item 3.3 Attachment 1
Item 3.3 Attachment 1
26 The procedures for compliance with the provisions of this chapter shall include, but not be limited to the following:
(a) Project design. Applicants for a covered project are strongly encouraged to involve a qualified green building rater in the initial design phases of the project in advance of submittal of an application to determine applicable green building compliance thresholds and the most cost effective and appropriate means of achieving compliance. (b) Planning applications. If a discretionary planning application is required for a covered project, applicants should be prepared to identify expected green building measures to be included in the project to achieve the compliance thresholds. Applicants should identify any anticipated difficulties in achieving compliance and any exemptions from the requirements of this chapter that may be requested.
(c) Building plan check review. Upon submittal of an application for a building permit, building plans for any covered project shall include a green building program description and completed checklist. The checklist shall be incorporated onto a separate full-sized plan sheet included with the building plans. Evidence that the project, as indicated by the project plans and green building program description, will achieve the standards for compliance outlined in Section 9-19.050 shall be provided prior to issuance of a building permit.
(d) Changes during construction. During the construction process, alternate green building measures may be substituted, provided that documentation of the proposed change and the project's continued ability to achieve the standards for compliance to the chief building official shall be provided.
(e) Final building inspection. Prior to final building inspection and occupancy for any covered project, evidence that project construction has achieved the required compliance set forth in the standards for compliance outlined in Section 9-19.050 shall be provided. The chief building official shall review the documentation submitted by the applicant and determine whether the project has achieved the compliance threshold as set forth in the standards for compliance outlined in Section 19.04.140. If the chief building official determines that the applicant has met these requirements, the final building inspection may proceed. (f) Conflict with other laws. The provisions of this chapter are intended to be in addition to and not in conflict with other laws, regulations and ordinances relating to building construction and site development. If any provision of this chapter conflicts with any duly adopted and valid statutes or regulations of the federal government or the state of California, the federal or state statutes or regulations shall take precedence.

19.04.170 Exemptions.
(a) The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to:
(1) Buildings which are temporary (such as construction trailers). (2) Building area which is not or is not intended to be conditioned space. (3) Any requirements of this chapter which would impair the historic integrity of any building listed on a local, state or federal register of historic structures, as determined by the chief building official and as regulated by the California Historic Building Code (Title 24, Part 8). In making such a determination, the chief building official may require the submittal of an evaluation by an architectural historian or similar expert. (b) As outlined in the 2022 CALGreen code, section 4.106.4 and A5.106.5, applicants may be exempted from the electric vehicle changing requirements on a case-by-case basis where the local enforcing agency has determined EV charging and infrastructure are not feasible based upon one or more of the following conditions:
(1) Where there is no commercial power supply or the local utility is unable to supply adequate power.
494
Item 3.3 Attachment 1
Item 3.3 Attachment 1
27 (2) Where there is evidence suitable to the local enforcing agency substantiating that additional local utility infrastructure design requirements, directly related to the implementation of section 4.106.4 and A5.106.5 may adversely impact the construction cost of the project.
(3) ADUs and JADUs without additional parking facilities. (4) Parking spaces accessible only by automated mechanical car parking systems are not required to comply with CALGreen Code section 4.106.4 and A5.106.5 (c) Hardship or infeasibility exemption. If an applicant for a covered project believes that circumstances exist that make it a hardship or infeasible to meet the requirements of this chapter, the applicant may request an exemption as set forth below. In applying for an exemption, the burden is on the applicant to show hardship or infeasibility. (1) Application. Based on the following, the applicant shall identify in writing the specific requirements of the standards for compliance that the project is unable to achieve and the circumstances that make it a hardship or infeasible for the project to comply with this chapter. The applicant may not petition for relief from any requirement of the 2022 California Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6) and referenced standards, or the 2022 California Green Building Standards (Title 24, Part 11) of the California Building Standards Code. Circumstances that constitute hardship or infeasibility shall include one of the following:
a. That the cost of achieving compliance is disproportionate to the overall cost of the project;
b. That strict compliance with these standards would create or maintain a hazardous condition(s) and present a life safety risk to the occupants. (2) Granting of exemption. If the chief building official determines that it is a hardship or infeasible for the applicant to fully meet the requirements of this chapter and that granting the requested exemption will not cause the building to fail to comply with the 2022 California Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6) and referenced standards, or the 2022 California Green Building Standards (Title 24, Part 11) of the California Building Standards Code, the chief building official shall determine the maximum feasible threshold of compliance reasonably achievable for the project. In making this determination, the chief building official shall consider whether alternate, practical means of achieving the objectives of this chapter can be satisfied, such as reducing comparable energy use at an off-site location within the county. If an exemption is granted, the applicant shall be required to comply with this chapter in all other respects and shall be required to achieve the threshold of compliance determined to be achievable by the chief building official.
(3) Denial of exception. If the chief building official determines that it is reasonably possible for the applicant to fully meet the requirements of this chapter, the request shall be denied, and the applicant shall be notified of the decision in writing. The project and compliance documentation shall be modified to comply with the standards for compliance.
(4) Appeal. Any aggrieved applicant or person may appeal the determination of the chief building official regarding the granting or denial of an exemption or compliance with any other provision of this chapter. An appeal of a determination of the chief building official shall be filed in writing and processed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10-

1.06 of this code.
(4) Appeal. Any aggrieved applicant or person may appeal the determination of the chief building official regarding the granting or denial of an exemption or compliance with any other provision of this chapter.

Green Building Regulations - Agenda item 3.3, Town Council agenda, 08/22/2023   Sun 8/20/2023 11:15 AM
CAUTION: External Sender
Mayor, Vice-Mayor, and Council Members,
A Green Building reach code is one of the few ways that our Town can take meaningful and direct action on climate. This proposed Green Building Code will achieve two major climate actions: 1 -accelerate EV adoption by creating charging infrastructure for the growing number of EVs, and 2 - improve the energy efficiency of new/remodeled buildings, in many cases by replacing old gas appliances with electric versions (electric space or water heat pumps, as well as heat pump dryers, induction stoves, and more), avoiding the buildout of new gas infrastructure or installation of new gas appliances that could be emitting GHG’s for many years. This will directly result in a reduction in natural gas consumption and, therefore, a reduction in methane emissions. This will help the Town achieve its greenhouse gas reduction goals in the Climate Action Plan.

I want to express my personal support for the staff recommendations for modification of the existing Green Building Code that is in line with the County’s model reach code. This proposed ordinance does defer taking action on any new all-electric requirements until issues surrounding the Ninth Circuit Court’s decision on the Berkeley ordinance are resolved. This is a reasonable course of action for now.

The County’s model reach code was fully vetted with a wide array of stakeholders and it provides homeowners and developers options for improving energy efficiency. Required electrification requirements relate to the nature of the remodel plans, and do not present onerous all-electric mandates. Affordability is a concern for any homeowner planning a remodel project. The Climate Action Commission Outreach Subcommittee plans to increase public awareness of the rebates coming available through the Inflation Reduction Act that will ensure the affordability of going electric. Coming in late 2023, the IRA will offer an array of rebates ranging from $840 for an electric stove or heat pump dryer to $4000 for electrical panels and $8000 for heat pump space heating/cooling). In addition, new tax credits will help offset costs, including $1000 for EV chargers, $2000 for heat pump water heaters, and 30% of costs of battery storage and rooftop solar installation.

I urge the Council to approve the proposed Green Building Code modifications, joining the County and other Marin municipalities in taking this step to decrease emissions in our built environment.

Thank you.

CAUTION: External Sender
Mayor, Vice-Mayor, and Council Members,
I am writing in support of the Town staff recommendations to modify the existing Green Building Code in order to bring it in line with the County’s mode reach code.

The County code is thorough and detailed, and it was developed with inputs from a wide variety of participants throughout Marin. The County maintains the development process through a continuing series of workshops, which I participate in, with this explicit goal:

To crowdsource the community to help develop an
implementable countywide whole building electrification plan that tracks with each jurisdiction’s climate, equity, and/or adaptation goals.

By adopting the current County reach codes, San Anselmo can send a strong statement of support for the countywide process and goals, reinforcing our commitment to taking concrete, practical and practicable steps to reduce the GHG emissions of our community, while influencing other municipalities to do the same.

With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, home and business owners now have a array of incentives and rebates for electrification coming from the federal, state, regional, and county levels that significantly mitigate the cost of investment in a clean, GHG free future in San Anselmo and Marin.

I urge you to take the appropriate action and adopt the model reach codes being proposed by Town staff.

Thank you.

Public Comment for 8/22/23 Town Council Mtg Item 3.3
Dear San Anselmo Town Council and Staff:

Last year Marin County collaborated with all Marin jurisdictions to develop three model reach codes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The reach codes addressed the following subjects:

All-electric for new buildings
Increased energy efficiency for additions and alterations Enhanced EV charger requirements
The County adopted the three model reach codes and recommended that all Marin jurisdictions also adopt them, which several have done. Last year San Anselmo adopted only the all-electric for new buildings reach code. The draft ordinance being read tonight as Agenda Item 3.3 addresses the other two subjects and closely aligns with the model reach codes prepared by the County.

The more than 100 members of the combined Marin/Sonoma Building Electrification and Electric Vehicle squads, many of whom live in San Anselmo, strongly support adoption of the draft ordinance as an essential step for San Anselmo to be able to achieve its greenhouse gas emission reduction goals by 2030.

Comments for town council mtg 8/22/2023  
Sat 8/19/2023 10:11 PM
CAUTION: External Sender
Greeting town council members,
The San Anselmo building, planning, and public works departments have been on the frontline fighting climate change. I dare say they have done more than any other town or city in Marin County to take action. I wish they could get more accolades because of all the things they have done which are too many to say here except for one, the purchase of the Ford Lighting this year.

That purchase was a requirement to qualify for the vital and financially significant PG&E EV charging infrastructure. The purchase of this truck meant the town now qualified to have PG&E pay for the cost of the electricity from the source to the meter for three town parking lots. Without this truck all that infrastructure funding would have been lost. There was a time limit.

However, I am so disappointed to learn of the purchase of a new gas truck by the public works department. Whenever we buy a gas powered vehicle we are adding to the release of carbon into the atmosphere that will stay there for hundreds of years. The recently purchased gas truck will be on the road for 15-20 years or more, leading to more of the carbon driving climate change, and air pollution that contributes to poor public health outcomes.

It's continuing a toxic ecosystem because gas cars need gas; gas needs oil; oil means drilling that contaminates land; it means refineries, and diesel trucks delivering gas to gas stations. Gas station with underground wells that poison land and water when they leak. It won’t be San Anselmo that bears the brunt of it. It will be the communities like Richmond living next to the Chevron refinery.

You may think it's just one car but it's the message that it sends to the industry. You're telling Ford and Chevrolet we still want gas trucks. You're telling them we are still all in with the oil companies. I don’t believe that is the message public works intended or wants to send.

I understand there are competing demands here. The public works department job is to insure they have dependable vehicles that can keep the town safe. They also have to worry about the cost of maintaining older trucks. San Anselmo is in a bind. It needs new trucks now and the electric trucks out there are too big and too expensive. But there are more coming and faster than we realize.

Supply chains are easing and competition between the auto manufacturers is fierce. Tesla’s cutting of its prices has sent EV prices on a downward trajectory. Ford cut its Lightning price by $10,000.

If it absolutely cannot wait until there are more available, affordable trucks one solution would be to buy a newer year model but a used one. That way we wouldn’t be a new customer to the oil industry that is literally and figuratively lighting fire to this planet. We need to starve it of its oxygen which means we cannot buy any new gas vehicles.

As Brian Colbert and Eric Lucan said in their July 19, 2023 Marin Voice:
“The transition to EVs marks one of the most significant shifts toward a cleaner and more equitable future that we have seen in our lifetimes. Each EV on the road puts us a small step closer to achieving crucial climate goals and eliminates local air pollution. The work we are doing to prepare communities for the transition also drives jobs and local investment.” Thank you for your time,
Susannah Saunders
Chair, San Anselmo Climate Action Commission.

Town Council Meeting August 22 - Public Comment  
Sat 8/19/2023 4:59 PM
CAUTION: External Sender
Dear Mayor Burdo and Town Councilmembers,
I am a student at Archie Williams and a resident of San Anselmo. I'm writing to ask that all future town vehicles purchased be electric rather than gas powered. The public notices when towns and cities move further towards a greener environment. With so many electric options now available, it really makes much more sense to purchase electric over gas.

Second, I strongly support requiring future home construction to include electric chargers and future remodels to have very enticing incentives to choose more electrification and energy saving appliances.

We really must move the needle away from fossil fuels and all our old ways of building. I'm almost 18 and I want to see the planet heal, not continue to get thrashed by human behaviors. We can and should do better for all of us, especially all the young children and infants just beginning their journeys.

Thank you,
Ingrid Wahlstrom
