2.1 Adopt a Resolution to Submit Rent Stabilization Ordinance to Voters Based on Referendum Petition
Town Attorney Acevedo presented the staff report. Staff answered questions from the Council regarding the word limit for the ballot question; if the Council has time to decide whether or not to submit arguments in favor or against; if a Councilmember can independently submit an argument for or against and use his or her title; if members of the community can submit an argument in favor or in opposition; if there is an order of placement (ranking) on the ballot; if the three Councilmembers in support could write one letter and sign it or if it needs to be separate letters; how the Brown Act would apply to one letter signed by three Councilmembers.
Mayor Burke opened the meeting to public comments
There were no comments.
Mayor Burke closed the meeting to public comments.
Councilmember Burdo stated the language in the staff report was adequate. He was in favor of the Town issuing a statement.
Vice Mayor Kullaway stated the Council should make a statement.
Councilmember Fineman stated the question should include language referencing that this is for larger rental units (triplex and above). She suggested the following wording: “rental units, triplexes and larger” instead of “residential real property”. She suggested other language changes.
Mayor Burke liked the wording as is but supported the wording “residential real property (applied only to triplexes and larger)”. She does not support adopting an argument due to the divided Council. This should be done by community members.
Councilmember Colbert agreed with Mayor Burke- he is uncomfortable with the Council in its entirety offering any kind of statement of support.
22 5
Councilmember Burdo stated this is the policy that the Town chose to enact and it would be prudent for the Town to stand by the policy that the majority of the Council voted for.
Councilmember Fineman stated this is a substantive issue and the Council should come out in support.
Vice Mayor Kullaway stated the statement should come from the entire Council.
Mayor Burke disagreed- anything authored should come from the three members of the Council.
She asked staff to bring more information about how ballot arguments work at the next meeting.
Councilmember Fineman wanted to move forward with the Council submitting an argument.
She would like to appoint one to two members to write the argument based on the assumption that a Councilmember can choose not to have his or her name appear on it.
Mayor Burke stated she would like to know the full spectrum of the rules and options before making a decision.
Councilmember Colbert agreed with Mayor Burke- he would like to get the questions answered.
This is not time-sensitive.
M/s, Fineman/Burdo, Motion to Adopt a Resolution to Submit Rent Stabilization Ordinance to Voters Based on Referendum Petition with the agreed upon changes to the wording to include a parenthetical about the applicability AYES: Burdo, Colbert, Fineman, Vice Mayor Kullaway, Mayor Burke M/s, Fineman/Kullaway, Motion that the Council authorize a ballot argument in favor.

Mr. Mike Cook, representing Integra Planning and Landscape Architecture, discussed the preferred alternative.

MEETING DATE: June 25, 2024
AGENDA TITLE: Financial Report on Recreation Fund
FROM: Dannielle Mauk, Director of Community Services
RECOMMENDATION: That the Council review the Recreation Fund revenue and expenditure report for the period ending May 31, 2024.
BACKGROUND
The Recreation Department offers a wide variety of fee-based programs throughout the fiscal year including sports programs and leagues, youth, and adult classes, childcare and camps. Additional revenue is generated through facility rentals and administrative fees.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
As of May 31, 2024, 92% of the fiscal year has elapsed and the Recreation Fund is listed at108% of projected revenues and 93% of projected expenditures.
In past years, revenue was deposited when customers registered. Our new Civic Rec software automatically defers the revenue deposit until the date of service. This makes it difficult to make a true comparison with previous years.
Enrollment for recreation programs is strong. Families are enjoying our programs, and we are working on adding additional programs. Enrollment will be reflected in both the increased revenues and expenditures each month.
For historical comparison purposes, staff has developed the following table:

June 11, 2024
Honorable Mayor Burke, Town Council and San Anselmo Residents, I am pleased to present the Town’s Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Proposed Annual Budget and Work Plan, the annual roadmap for operations in the Town of San Anselmo. This extensive, detailed, and balanced budget continues the Town Council’s priorities to protect General Fund reserves while providing a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) of one-time expenses towards improving Town assets and infrastructure.
The budget documents are the product of many teammates working in a collaborative manner to align resources that are consistent with the Town Council’s and community’s priorities, while continuing to maintain fiscal responsibility. In implementing the Council’s budget, our team strives to advance our organizational values of teamwork, customer service, innovation, meeting challenges, and professional development. I want to acknowledge and thank all of the Town’s employees for their efforts to improve the community we serve. It is an honor to work with such a dedicated, community-focused team of professionals.
The annual budget and work plan allocates resources to a variety of Town priorities and programs to ensure the community’s physical security, enhance the community’s quality of life, and maintain and develop the Town’s facilities and infrastructure. This particular budget attempts to hold onto years of effort in doing so while addressing rising costs and high expectations while balancing the need to continue to maintain a nimble response to demands for services.
This document represents our continued commitment to prudent fiscal management, to effective service delivery and to supporting an affordable quality of life for our residents. Once adopted by the Council, the budget establishes the direction for all Town programs and services for the coming year. It represents the consensus of Council direction and staff recommendations on how to best accomplish Council goals and respond to the highest priorities of community needs.

35 6 Town of San Anselmo: Budget and Work Plan 2024-2025 TOWN MANAGER’S MESSAGE
FISCAL SUMMARY AND ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
After several years of rising property tax revenues and better than expected sales tax returns, projections show a slowdown in this growth, with property tax revenues projected to return to levels seen previously at between 3% and 4% annually and sales tax remaining flat. With this in mind, the proposed fiscal year 2024-25 budget was developed based on the continuing objective of providing high quality services to our community in an effective, efficient, and financially responsible manner.
The 2024-25 Work Plan Priorities information have been placed in each department’s budget section, which will guide work during the fiscal year and beyond.
The fiscal year 2024-25 Proposed Budget reflects a balancing strategy that has prioritized essential services, continues to proactively fund long term obligations, and maintains investments in the Town’s most critical infrastructure.
ROADS, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND TOWN FACILITIES
Since 2013, when Measure D was passed by residents increasing funding for infrastructure improvements, the annual work plan for road, drainage and other infrastructure repairs has been greatly enhanced. Additional transportation funding is also provided by California’s Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) and County Measure AA.
Over the past decade, the Town’s pavement condition index (PCI) has gone from a 58 (fair) to a 72 (satisfactory). According to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the average PCI in the Bay Area is 67.
In 2022, Town residents passed Measure J, a successor sales and use tax measure to Measure D.
Measure J continues and enhances ongoing funding for roads and infrastructure along with providing ongoing funding for enhanced staffing in the Ross Valley Fire Department, for park and building improvements, active transportation enhancements, and projects to help mitigate the effects of climate change. Many of these projects are part of the Town’s Capital Improvement Program. 5-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP)
The Town develops, organizes and prioritizes its ongoing capital needs through the development of a Capital Improvement Program, commonly referred to as the CIP. Development of the CIP considers projects identified by staff and the Town Council and organizes them into a plan that, due to the size and scope of projects, spans multiple fiscal years. The Town’s current CIP spans five years and considers a wide range of projects. Below is a brief summary of upcoming CIP activities:
PAVING/STREETS
Staff plans for approximately $1,500,000 in paving each year, along with $250,000 of crack and slurry seal projects to improve the Town’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Also included are annual funding for traffic signal improvements, and unprogrammed paving and concrete street repair.
Item 1.3 - Attachment 1
Item 1.3 - Attachment 1
36 Town of San Anselmo: Budget and Work Plan 2024-2025 7 TOWN MANAGER’S MESSAGE
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION
Improvements for non-motorized forms of transportation (walking and bicycling) is a large component of the CIP. Staff actively seeks grant funds for larger projects.
Projects in the 5-Year CIP include traffic signal improvements at Sir Francis Drake Blvd. at Broadmoor Ave., Safe Routes to Schools projects, sidewalk gap closures, ADA improvements, trail projects, traffic calming program, and other improvements.
PARKS
Over the last two years, the Town has invested in improving the Memorial Park Athletic fields, the parking lot, Millenium Playground and is working on updating the master plan for improvements at the south end of the park. When and if the County Flood Control District project is completed at Creek Park, the Town will have an opportunity to improve the park and plaza along San Anselmo Avenue.
BUILDINGS
The Town’s buildings, including Town Hall, the Library, Isabel Cook Community Center, RobsonHarrington House, as well as Fire Stations 19 and 20, are in need of significant maintenance and repairs to avoid more costly replacement. The 5-Year CIP includes projects funded by Measure J, as well as several projects funded by the Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
BRIDGES
The Town has 20 bridges, some almost 100 years old. Many of the bridges are inspected by Caltrans every other year, and depending on the condition, may qualify for repair or replacement funds from the federal Highway Bridge Program. The federal process has turned out to be quite slow, sometimes taking over a decade. As the programmed bridge projects progress, some require an 11% local match, which will likely come from Measure J, and will become significant for the construction projects in the latter years of the 5-Year CIP.
DROUGHT/CLIMATE/SOLAR
The Town has prioritized projects to improve wells at Memorial Park and Creek Park, and has been successful in obtaining grants to offset costs for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations at parking lots and parks. A resiliency hub is planned for Town Hall, with solar panels and batteries to allow normal town functions during power outages.
STORMWATER/FLOOD CONTROL
The Town has been improving existing storm drains each year by replacing rotted pipe or lining pipe that is in danger of rotting. New storm drain projects are extremely expensive and have not been programmed in the 5-Year CIP.
The Town is facing regulations from our State Stormwater Permit that require filtering out debris and trash smaller than 5 millimeters from stormwater in our downtown and high density housing areas. Over the next 5 years, the Town will be required to install trash capture devices inside storm drain catch basins in several areas of Town.

REGIONAL FLOOD MITIGATION
In addition to local storm water and flood control efforts listed above, the County of Marin’s Department of Public Works, in its capacity as the Flood Control and Water Conservation District, works on flood control on a regional basis.
The San Anselmo Flood Risk Reduction Project (SAFRR) is part of the District’s plan to mitigate the 25- year flood event in the Ross Valley. The Project consists of three distinct components: (1) the Sunnyside Nursery Flood Diversion and Storage Basin installation at 3000 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in Fairfax; (2) the removal of building foundations at 632-634 San Anselmo Ave in San Anselmo (BB2), a structure that partially obstructs the flow of San Anselmo Creek and related creek restoration; and (3) flood mitigation measures on designated downstream private properties that may see a rise in water surface due to the removal of BB2 in San Anselmo.
The District has completed the installation of the flood diversion and storage basin, and had plans to move forward with the remove the foundations at BB2 during the summer of 2024 but had to postpone the project indefinitely due to issues related to FEMA regulations. It is unknown at this time what the next steps are for this project.
During the fall of 2023, a group of San Anselmo residents gathered the required signatures to place an item on the March 2024 ballot asking voters whether an initiative measure should be adopted to withdraw the Town of San Anselmo from the Marin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. This measure passed and as a result, the Town is no longer a member of the District and does not have representation on the Flood Zone 9 Advisory Committee.
BUDGET FORMAT
The operations of the Town are budgeted primarily in the Town’s General Fund. Significant maintenance projects and other capital improvements are contained in the Capital Reconstruction Fund. Road and drainage improvement projects are funded through the Road Maintenance Fund and grants in the Grants Fund. The Recreation Fund accounts for most of the revenue and expenditures related to recreation programs. The Library Tax Fund tracks expenditures related to the special Library services tax. The Measure J Sales Tax Fund tracks activity related to capital projects funded through the use of those funds. A list of all the Town funds, a description of their functions, and a summary of revenue and expenses are contained in the Overview of Funds section at the beginning of the budget document.
CONCLUSION
The proposed FY 2024-25 budget represents a prudent budget that addresses the Town’s pressing capital and equipment needs, while maintaining a staffing structure that strives to meet the needs of its citizens. The Town’s staff remains committed to providing excellent community services to the residents of San Anselmo.

OVERVIEW OF REVENUES & EXPENDITURES
Understanding municipal finance takes a lot of effort and willingness to read and interpret a large volume and wide variety of information. The Town strives to make all communications, including financial information, as approachable and understandable as possible.
In this section, we are presenting information about how the Town receives its funding and how it gets spent. We are presenting it in a format that has been developed to lay out the basic structures of the income and outflow of tax dollars and other funds the Town receives and spends.
The Town of San Anselmo receives funding to operate through a variety of sources. Many are wellknown, such as property tax and sales tax. These two sources make up most of the Town funding. As you will see in this budget document, the Town’s operations are accounted for in the General Fund.
GENERAL FUND REVENUE
PROPERTY AND OTHER TAXES
• Property Tax: Property tax is the primary source of revenue for the Town of San Anselmo. The basic property tax is 1 percent of the assessed valuation, of which the Town receives less than one quarter. In 2024-2025, the assessed valuation of San Anselmo properties is expected to increase more than 3.0%, an indication that property sales remain strong. • Secured: The Town’s share of 1 percent of the Town’s assessed valuation is billed by the County of Marin. A property assessment may not exceed a 2 percent increase in any year unless the property has been sold or improvements have been constructed. • Unitary: State collected and distributed tax on utility-owned properties. In Marin County, PG&E property accounts for approximately 25% of unitary tax collections. • Unsecured: Tax on property such as business office equipment and possessory interest tax. • Supplemental: Taxes assessed on property sales and new construction outside the regular tax bills.
• Homeowners Exemption (HOPTR): Reimbursement for the property tax lost on the $7,000 homeowners’ property tax exemption.
• Pension Override Tax: The Town’s pension tax is used to pay for the cost of the employee pension program.

GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES
LABOR COSTS
• Salaries: Salaries and salary-related costs are the largest single expenditure for the Town, approximately 73% of the Town’s expenditures, including Fire and Police Department contract cost. • Final Salary/Leave Buyout: Employees may opt to cash out one week of vacation per year. Upon separation from the Town, an employee’s accrued vacation time payout costs and any other moneys due are paid from this category.
• Health Benefits: The Town currently has a cafeteria benefits plan that pays the equivalent of family Kaiser, dental, vision, a small life insurance policy for each employee and long-term disability premium currently in the amount of approximately $2,655 per month. Any unused portion of the 2024-25 cafeteria benefits plan is given to employees as “cashback” up to a cap of $365 per month. The cashback program offers flexibility to employees in their choices for health coverage.
Employees hired after July 1, 2014, have their medical benefit limited to a maximum of $2,050 per month with no cashback option.
• Retirement: The Town is a member of the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). The various plans are described in terms of a percentage of annual salary at a certain retirement age. For example, the 2% @ 55 plan allows an employee to retire at age 55 with 2% of his/her annual salary for each year of service. The Town had one retirement plan for Miscellaneous employees (2.7%@55) until February 2007, when a second-tier retirement plan (2%@55) was enacted in order to reduce retirement costs. The current configuration of retirement plans and their rates (expressed as a percentage of payroll) is:

Miscellaneous 2.7%@55 16.02% 15.95% 2%@55 12.52% 12.47% 7.87% Currently, part of the pension rate is expressed as a percentage of monthly salary. Employees pay the employee share, which is 8% for Miscellaneous in Tier 1 and 7% for Tier 2.
In 2012-13 the Town’s PERS rate was reduced to reflect the sale of Pension Obligation Bonds to pay the Town’s Employer Side Fund liability of $3,521,184. In 2003, CalPERS combined agencies with less than 100 members into risk pools based on plan type. The Employer Side Fund was created to account for the difference between the funded status of the pool and the funded status of individual plans. The repayment of the Pension Obligation Bonds is reflected in the Expenditure Summary under General Fund Departments, Debt Service (Pension Obligation Bonds). Overall, the refinancing of the side fund is saving the Town approximately $60,000 per year.
In January 2013 the State Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) went into effect. Any person who becomes a new member of the retirement system on or after January 1, 2013 may only Item 1.3 - Attachment 1
Item 1.3 - Attachment 1
48 Town of San Anselmo: Budget and Work Plan 2024-2025 19
OVERVIEW OF REVENUES & EXPENDITURES
be offered the new pension benefit plan specified in the Reform Act. All non-safety new hires are subject to a formula providing 2% of compensation for each year of service for an individual retiring at age 62, increasing to 2.5% for an individual retiring at age 67. PEPRA employees must pay 50% of the cost of the pension, 7.75% effective July 1, 2023.
In May 2014, the CalPERS Board adopted changes to the existing pooling structure policies and a new policy for allocating the pools’ unfunded accrued liability, effective for the 2015-16 employer contribution rates. Due to unintended consequences resulting from the PEPRA changes and existing PERS policies on risk pools, changes were necessary to ensure the proper funding of the pools. In order to address the problem, CalPERS combined twelve risk pools into two, one for Safety and one for Miscellaneous. Employer contributions toward the unfunded liability for plans in a risk pool are collected as dollar amounts instead of contribution rates expressed as a percentage of payroll for an estimated 30 years.
In September 2021, the Town issued Pension Obligation Bonds to pay the Town’s Employer side unfunded liability of $9,070,378. Due to the favorable interest rate environment at the time of issuance, the projected savings over the life of the bond is estimated to be $5,351,965. The savings between the CALPERS amortization schedule and bond repayment schedule will be paid to the Pension Trust each year to alleviate any future unfunded liability concerns. For the Town, year 2 savings estimated to be paid to the Pension Trust is $150,000.
With the consolidation of Police services into the Central Marin Police Authority and Fire services into the Ross Valley Fire Department, the Safety pension costs are included in their respective budgets.
• Payroll Taxes: The Town participates in Social Security at a rate of 6.2% of total salary up to a limit of $168,600 in 2024 and in Medicare at a rate of 1.45% of total salary without limit. • Overtime/Temporary: Costs associated with overtime pay and temporary help.
SERVICES AND SUPPLIES
• Legal Advertising: Legally required advertising for noticing public meetings, bidding, ordinances, and General Plan amendments.
• Vehicle Operations: Preventive and repair maintenance for the Town fleet of cars and trucks. • Equipment Maintenance: Town equipment, including office equipment, copy machines, postage machine, fax, and mowers.
• Publications & Dues: Professional and technical publications and membership dues in professional organizations.

PUBLIC SAFETY — POLICE
On January 1, 2013, the San Anselmo Police Department joined the Twin Cities Police Authority, which included the City of Larkspur and the Town of Corte Madera. The new authority was named the Central Marin Police Authority. The Authority is administered under a joint powers authority to provide police services to San Anselmo, Corte Madera and Larkspur. The agency is governed by the Police Council, comprised of two members from each of the City/Town Councils of San Anselmo, Corte Madera and Larkspur.
An annual budget is adopted by the Central Marin Police Authority Council and funded through assessments to the three members. The costs for administration, communications, and investigations are shared on an equal basis with each member paying one-third. The costs for Community Service Officers are shared on an equal basis between the Town of San Anselmo and the City of Larkspur, since they are the only jurisdictions using them. The costs for field operations, juvenile/school resource officer, and traffic are allocated according to a funding formula based upon the number of calls for service, total crimes, citations and accidents on a rolling three-year period. This method of cost allocation ensures that if one member has additional patrol field needs, the costs are fairly allocated to the town/city receiving the services.
The percentages of the Police Authority budget for the three members are: San Anselmo 38.43%, Larkspur 33.71% and Corte Madera 27.86%.

GENERAL FUND
DEBT SERVICE
In 2012-13 the Town’s PERS rate was reduced to reflect the sale of Pension Obligation Bonds to pay the Town’s Employer Side Fund liability of $3,521,183.91.
In 2003, CalPERS combined agencies with less than 100 members into risk pools based on plan type.
The Employer Side Fund was created to account for the difference between the funded status of the pool and the funded status of individual plans.
The repayment of the Pension Obligation Bonds is reflected in the Expenditure Summary under General Fund Departments, Debt Service (Pension Obligation Bonds). Overall, the refinancing of the side fund is saving the Town approximately $60,000 per year and $600,000 over the ten-year term.
The Bonds matured in fiscal year 2021-22.
The Town issued Pension Obligation Bonds to pay the employer side unfunded liability in September 2021. The third-year payment is reflected in the 2024-2025 budget. Overall, the issuance of the bonds is saving the Town approximately $150,000 in year 3 and over $5 million over the life of the bonds.

GENERAL FUND
NON-DEPARTMENTAL SERVICES
This budget program represents services, participation in joint powers authorities (JPA’s), and other expenditures that represent the Town’s interest and are not attributable to a single department or program.
The Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) has changed the way public entities are charged for pension costs to better reflect actual costs and to reduce unfunded liabilities. As such, members are now charged a flat fee in addition to a percentage of salary. The Town issued Pension Obligation Bonds in 2021 to pay the unfunded liability amount. The amount recognized in retirement for the FY2022-2023 is the savings between CALPERS amortization scheduled and bond repayment schedule that will be deposited into the Pension Trust for any future unfunded liability. The difference of $246,689 is reflected in Non-Departmental Services, under Retirement for FY2022-2023.
The Town participates in several Joint Powers Authority (JPA) agencies county-wide, and the costs for participation are budgeted under Outside Services.
The San Anselmo Volunteer Effort has generously agreed to fund an annual Volunteer Appreciation recognition and an annual Volunteer of the Year award.

EMERGENCY RESERVE FUND
EMERGENCY PROJECTS FUND
The Emergency Reserve Fund serves as a safety valve for unanticipated emergency needs. Prior to 2003-04, the Town’s policy was to maintain a fund balance of $100,000 to ensure adequate cash flow in anticipation of emergency projects, disasters, or other unprogrammed demands. In 2003-04, $50,000 of this fund was transferred to the General Fund.
The fund was established for use during winter storms to respond to hazards on public and private property. Costs associated with private property are charged to the property owner, for reimbursement. When costs are incurred during emergencies that are declared to be federal and/or state disasters and are eligible for disaster assistance, a reimbursement claim is filed and funds that are received are returned to the Emergency Projects Fund.
The fund has been used to record the Town’s expenses incurred in conjunction with the flood that occurred on December 31, 2005, and the April 2006 damage on Allyn Avenue. As of June 30, 2014, the Town spent a total of $7.6 million in recovery costs and related improvements for the two emergency events and has received reimbursement from FEMA, OES, and flood insurance for $4.7 million. Of the remaining $2.9 million costs, the Town has funded $1.7 million of fire station reconstruction with a municipal loan, leaving an unreimbursed balance of $1.2 million that was absorbed by the General Fund. Construction costs for the firehouse remodel exceeded the $1.7 million construction loan. The Town has transferred $1.7 million in General Fund money into the Emergency Projects fund since 2005 to cover unreimbursed flood-related expenses. The Town returned $21,729 in reimbursements to FEMA and OES that were subsequently disallowed.
The Town has been audited with respect to the reimbursements from FEMA and OES by the Office of the Inspector General for the flood expenses. The result of that report was a finding that the Town’s expenditures were generally within the guidelines set by the federal and state government.
When costs are incurred by the Town but are not eligible for reimbursement by property owners or other agencies, the annual carryover and/or a transfer from the General Fund is recommended to replenish the fund for future needs.
On March 16, 2020, Town Manager issued a Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency Related to COVID-19. The Town has been recording all the expenditures that are related to COVID-19 responses to a COVID-19 project and will submit for all qualified reimbursements to state and federal agencies.
The Town received $157,512 Coronavirus Relief Fund direct allocation of CARES Act funding from the State to reimburse the costs incurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the fiscal year 2020-21.
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act which provided funding to state and local governments to facilitate recovery from the economic and public health effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The Town is expected to receive $2.984 million. The deadline to spend the funding is December 31, 2026 as long as the funds are obligated by December 31, 2024.

DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION FUND
DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION
As a community of residents, business owners, and commercial property owners, enlisting the cooperation of the Town of San Anselmo, we endeavor to identify and define our downtown as a desirable destination, encourage businesses to meet the needs of our community and create a favorable center of increased social interaction and business.
Downtown Revitalization Strategy Mission Statement
In 1994, residents, businesspeople, and Town officials began to create a strategy for enhancing the appearance and vitality of downtown San Anselmo. The Town hired Urban Planning Consultant Michael Freedman to lead community workshops, which resulted in the adoption of the above mission statement, and a strategy and priorities for improving the downtown. Landscape architect George Girvin was hired by the Town to create a streetscape conceptual design, which was approved by the Council in September 1996.
The design plan consists of adding trees, old-fashioned streetlights, outside furniture such as benches, a plaza seating area, signs, and other improvements to the downtown. In May, 1997, the Town hired Greenwood & Associates to perform a study on the feasibility of raising the funds to build these downtown improvements.
In February 1998, the Town Council adopted a downtown revitalization plan to bring $300,000 of streetscape improvements to the downtown. The Council authorized hiring George Girvin to design the improvements and coordinate the design with the undergrounding of utilities and Measure G street repaving project.
In 1999-00, a fundraising campaign was conducted to raise $300,000 for the streetscape project; the total results of the fundraising campaign, including interest revenue, were $341,000.
The Downtown Revitalization Fund accounts for the revenues and expenses related to the Downtown Revitalization improvement project.
In Spring, 1999, beating out stiff competition, San Anselmo was awarded a $226,000 grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Livable Communities program to construct entry signs to San Anselmo and improvements to the Hub station bus shelters. A local match of 11%, or $22,000 was required and these improvements were completed in conjunction with the San Anselmo 2000 Streetscape Improvements.
With the completion of the downtown paving, tree planting, bench placement, electrical conduit placement, sidewalk grates and the majority of the Town Hall Plaza work, the main project is completed. Benches continue to be placed as donors indicate a desire for a memorial bench. Still to be completed is the tree lighting. Funding is utilized for downtown tree replacement, flower baskets, and other miscellaneous services.

GRANTS FUND
This fund was initially established to track the revenue and expenditures related to legally restricted funds obtained through state grants for traffic congestion relief. The State has withheld traffic congestion funds since 2004-05. The fund is currently utilized to track all grant funds associated with road resurfacing and other related capital improvement projects. It has been renamed GRANTS FUND to more accurately reflect its use.
Included in the fund in 2024-25 are expenditures associated with the following grants:

This funding is for bridges that do not need to be replaced but that need preventative maintenance.
• Center Boulevard and Bridge Avenue Bridges – Federal Highway Bridge Program funding for the replacement of bridges over San Anselmo Creek at Center Boulevard and Bridge Avenue. There is a required match for this bridge grant of 11.5% that was initially anticipated to be covered by the County of Marin Flood Zone 9 Flood Fee but is now covered in the Town budget. Initial funding has been approved for conceptual design. Subsequent funds will be available for design and construction phases of the project. Funding for the entire project has been allocated by CalTrans but construction has not been authorized. Funding for the conceptual design, final design and environmental process is approximately $1,969,000 and will be authorized upon approval of the conceptual design. The remainder of the grant will be spent in subsequent years as the project progresses.

RECREATION FUND
RECREATION
The Recreation Department is responsible for developing and administering programs and services that enrich lives and help meet social, recreational, leisure and cultural needs of youth, teens, families, and older adults and people with disabilities through direct and contract programs.
Town residents and the greater Ross Valley community are provided with a variety of sports, leisure, arts and recreational activities and classes for all ages and abilities throughout the year. Program highlights include sports programs, gymnastics, afterschool care, afterschool enrichment and toddler enrichment classes. Summer day camps, specialty camps, and sports camps fill an important need in Ross Valley for quality, affordable summer programming for children. The Parkside Preschool program has been serving preschool-aged children (and their parents) for over 45 years.
The Department provides staff support to our aging community. We work with the Ross Valley Seniors program and our Age & Disability Friendly Committee offers recreational, social, educational programming and outreach.
We provide staff support to the Parks and Recreation Commission and Arts Commission. The Department also provides staff support to the Dog Park, Skate Park, Robson-Harrington Community Gardens, Age & Disability Friendly, Racial Equity and Economic Development committees.
We fundraise for and produce several community events, including, Live on the Avenue (in partnership with several Town departments), Goblins Parade, Breakfast with Santa, Tree Lighting, Egg Hunts, Skate Fest and Corn Hole Tournaments.
The Recreation Fund is self-supporting except for general administrative functions such as payroll, finance, legal, maintenance and the Community Services Director’s and the Administrative Services Assistant’s compensation. Internet services and some maintenance functions are provided through the General Fund contribution to the Recreation Department. The Recreation Fund recoups its expenditures through class and program fees, as well as associated revenues such as advertising sales and rental/reservations income.
2023-24 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• The Recreation Department increased enrollment during FY 2023-24. We were able to serve more members of the community by maximizing enrollment and adding additional programming. • Upgraded and improved the program spaces located at the Robson Harrington House, Vista Room, Gym and Parkside Preschool. Improvements to the inside program spaces included flooring, painting, replacing carpets and kitchen improvements. The Department used reserve funds which were included in the FY 2023/24 Recreation Fund budget under capital outlay. • Implemented new recreation registration software, Civic Rec. The registration software pairs with the Town website, Civic Plus. The department connected the two platforms to update and reorganize our website and registration process. This created a better experience for our recreation community.
• Provided a framework for the Arts Commission, giving them steps and parameters for approving Item 1.3 - Attachment 1

• Established Age & Disability Friendly San Anselmo. The Town and the Marin Age & Disability Institute received a grant to reinforce a culture that allows for people to actively age with dignity, respect, and independence. While also, nurturing a commitment to people with disabilities. • Expanded department programming to include toddler enrichment classes, increased the size of summer camp and added adult programming.
• Grew our CIT (Counselor in Training) program) to include 40 students ranging in age from 13-
15. This is a job training program where students apply, go through an interview, training & orientation, then volunteer alongside paid camp staff. This is a great experience for teens. • The Parks & Recreation Commission reviewed the 2018 Master Plan and created draft amendments. They engaged the community through public meetings and four surveys. • Produced and fundraised for San Anselmo Live, Goblins Parade, Tree Lighting, Breakfast with Santa, Egg Hunts, and Corn Hole Tournaments.

COMMUNITY SERVICES MASTER PLAN FUND
The Community Services Master Plan Fund was initiated in 2014-15 to reflect the revenue and expenditures associated with the Community Facilities Master Planning process. This fund is intended to be used for master planning projects related to Town parks and recreation activities and facilities.
The project was initially funded by a $50,000 grant from Marin County Supervisor Katie Rice and a transfer of $60,000 from the Recreation Fund.
During the Community Facilities Master Plan process, community input was collected from a variety of community members to help develop ideas for the Town’s community facilities. A Master Plan was adopted by the Council at the end of the process, and work will continue toward the goal of carrying out the goals of the Master Plan.
At the completion of the Community Facilities Master Plan, funding was set aside to explore capital funding options.
In 2018-19, the Town Council allocated $30,000 from the General Fund reserve balance for use in a public information program to increase awareness about the Memorial Park Restoration Project.

ROAD MAINTENANCE
With the adoption of the 2002-03 budget, the Town Council formally recognized its commitment to the ongoing need for road maintenance beyond the resources provided by the Measure G bond funds. To provide additional funds for road maintenance, the Town Council directed staff to budget $400,000 in this fund annually. A Road Impact Fee for construction to be charged on construction projects was approved and collection of that fee began in December 2002. The road impact fee was extended to garbage vehicles in December 2004. Revenue received from the Road Impact Fee and the Garbage Impact Fee is restricted to the Road Maintenance Fund.
In FY 2023-24, Road Impact fees for construction are estimated at $375,000 and for garbage trucks at $84,000. A General Fund contribution of $450,000 to the fund is included to reflect the Town’s continued commitment to road maintenance. This fund also includes Senate Bill 1 (SB) gas tax at approximately $315,000.
A new 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) was prepared by staff in 2024 based on the pavement management program report that outlines the pavement condition index (PCI) of Town streets. It was reviewed and recommended to the Town Council by the Infrastructure and Fiscal Monitoring Committee. The 5 Year CIP was approved by the Town Council in 2019.
The Plan calls for the following projects to be completed in 2024-25:
Project Cost $
Salary/Benefits for Engineers (1.88 FTE) $330,186

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
STATE GASOLINE TAX FUND
California municipalities receive a portion of the state gasoline taxes, allocated on a per capita basis, to be used for street maintenance work. Interest earnings on any funds on deposit in the gas tax fund are required to accrue to that fund. Funds may be transferred from the gas tax fund to other funds during the year for street maintenance work.
Starting in 1997-98, the full amount of gas tax revenue received in the fiscal year is transferred to the General Fund on an ongoing basis, rather than just the projected revenue amount, as long as estimated Street Maintenance costs exceed the Town’s gas tax revenue.
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), an increase in vehicle registration fees along with per-gallon gas and diesel tax increases. Distribution of funds to San Anselmo will follow the apportionment formula used for the current gas tax. Funding will be available for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on local streets and roads.

LIBRARY TAX FUND
The voters of San Anselmo approved a Special Library Services Tax of $49 per parcel effective July 1, 2010. The revenue from the tax was restricted to expenditures for expanding library hours, improving children’s services at the Library, including hiring a special children’s librarian, and enhancing general Library services.
A special Library Fund was created to record the revenue from the tax measure and the allowable expenditures. Any funds that are not expended at the end of a given year remain in the Fund and are available for budgeted expenditures in future years.
The voters of San Anselmo approved a renewal of the tax in June 2014 at $54 per parcel for nine years, with an annual increase of 3% per year. A special Library Tax Oversight Committee was established with the parcel tax renewal and monitors expenditures from this fund.
In November of 2022, voters renewed the existing library parcel tax (expiring in 2024) and extended it for another nine years, until 2033. It is anticipated that the Special Library Services Tax will create revenue of $309,111 for the Library next year.
The Special Library Services Tax requires that the tax funding augment, not displace, funding provided by the Town. To that end, the ordinance requires that the tax continues to be levied only if Town funding of the library remains above 90% of the amount budgeted for 2012-2013 ($449,765). The $449,765 figure was arrived at by taking the 2012-2013 Library budget ($545,685) and subtracting the budgeted donations from the Friends of the Library ($14,426), budgeted State library funding ($4,290) and budgeted library fines ($27,230). 90% of $499,739 is $449,765.
The amount budgeted in the General Fund for the Library in this proposed budget is $899,716, which is within the allowable parameters in the Special Library Tax Services measure. 2023-24 HIGHLIGHTS
• Launched the Seed Library in partnership with Marin Master Gardeners • Rebranded and Expanded the Library of Things to include a Telescope, Boombox, DVD player and a Board Games collection
• Provided opportunities for Sustainable practice through three swaps: puzzles, clothing and art supplies
• Hosted popular children’s programs including Fratello Marionettes, Graham Cracker House building and the San Francisco Opera Guild’s Sing a Story • Scheduled and supported Family Concerts for summer series, Live on the Avenue.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
ROBSON HOUSE FUND
The Robson House is an elegant mansion that was donated to the Town in 1968, with the agreement that it be used for the benefit of the community’s children. In 1978 a Robson-Harrington House Association was formed to restore, manage, and maintain the house as a civic, educational, recreational, and cultural center. In 2005 the Association was unable to find new board members willing to take on the considerable responsibilities of the house and the organization disbanded.
Management of the house has reverted to the Town.
Revenue from the rental of the upstairs offices has been sufficient over the past years to cover the ongoing operation and routine maintenance of the house. However, since 2011-12, personnel, utility, and maintenance costs have risen to the point that rental revenue does not cover the regular costs.
Rental increases were implemented in 2015-16, but even with a rental increase, rental revenue is not sufficient to cover the considerable deferred maintenance work and capital improvements that are needed to restore and maintain the house. The Town is budgeting $50,000 for adding an ADA bathroom, half of the cost will be funded through the Measure J Sales Tax fund.
The Town took over management of Robson House in 2006-07.
SERVICES AND SUPPLIES
• Outside Services: Pest control services, landscape services, fire safety equipment; special assistance for repairs ($2,110).
• Building Maintenance: Janitorial Service ($15,600), other repair services ($1,500), Robson ADA bathroom ($40,000, ½ of the cost will be funded through Measure D sales tax). • Utilities: Electricity, water, telephone, and sewer ($7,000). • Department Supplies: Material and supplies needed to maintain Robson house ($1,000). • Possessory Tax Payment: Taxable possessory interest assessment ($2,400).

SPECIAL EVENTS FUND
This fund was established in 2000-01 to track the revenues and expenses associated with the annual special events sponsored by the Town.
The fund was opened with a balance comprised of the proceeds from 1996 Country Fair Day, which was organized and managed by the Town for the first time in many years.
The fund was utilized in 2007 to fund events commemorating the Town’s centennial anniversary. Over the years the events that the Town offers to our community have changed. The fund continues to be used to support Town events, such as the Live on the Avenue music series, the Goblins Parade, Teen and Children’s Egg Hunts, Breakfast with Santa, the Holiday Tree Lighting and United Against Hate.
Recreation staff fundraises for these events
$73,500 is committed for expenditures for the annual Town events.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
MEASURE A PARKS TAX FUND
Revenue and expenditures associated with San Anselmo’s share of the Marin County one-quarter per cent (.25%) transactions and use tax, entitled Marin Parks, Open Space, and Farmland Preservation Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance are accounted for in this fund. Countywide, the tax is estimated to generate $10,000,000 per year for ten years. Fifteen per cent (15%) of the Measure A revenue is allocated to cities, towns, and special districts. San Anselmo’s share is 6.65% of that revenue.
The Town Council annually determines the distribution of these funds. For 2014-15, and including the partial funding for 2013-14, $55,494 was contributed to the Sky Ranch open space acquisition and $66,794 to Memorial Park improvements.
In 2015-16 and going forward, the Town Council decided that on an ongoing basis, 70% of the annual funding will go to Memorial Park and 30% to open space acquisition.
On January 26, 2021, the Town Council approved the Memorial Park Playing Field Repair Project for an estimated amount of $675,000, which $47,000 will come from General Fund Reserve and approximately $439,000 from Measure A Parks Tax Fund to supplement $177,982 from State Proposition 68 Per Capita funding. The project was completed in fiscal year 2022-2023.

MEASURE C WILDFIRE TAX FUND
In 2019, 17 Marin County agencies with fire prevention responsibilities formed the Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority (“MVPA”) through a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement. MWPA’s mission is to organize and sustain local wildfire prevention including early detection, warning, and alerts; reducing vegetation; ensuring defensible space around homes, neighborhoods, and critical infrastructure; and improving disaster evacuation routes/procedures; Marin Wildfire Prevention Measure, levying up to $10 cents per building square foot tax ($75 per multifamily unit) for ten years, providing $19,300,000 annually, with annual inflation adjustments, independent citizen oversight/audits, and low-income senior exemptions.
Defensible space and fire-resistant structure evaluations, and mitigation of fire threats thereof, will be funded by 20% of the tax measure proceeds and will be done on a shared service basis or by a responsible Member.
Local-specific wildfire prevention efforts will be funded by 20% of the tax measure proceeds and allocated to each member in proportion to revenue raised in each member’s respective tax rate areas.
Members must certify that the tax measure proceeds are used consistently with the purpose of the Authority and that the tax measure expenses result in a higher level of service than would otherwise be provided by the member. The approximate allocation to the Town is $367,000 in FY2024-25.

Climate Action Fund
On June 11, 2019, the Town Council adopted Resolution 4286: A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of San Anselmo Adopting San Anselmo Climate Action Plan 2030. The Climate Action Plan 2030 (CAP) is a master plan to guide the development and implementation of local, measurable actions and initiatives to reduce local greenhouse gas emissions 54% by 2030 (from a 2005 baseline, or 45% below 1995 levels), with the goal of community-scale carbon neutrality by no later than 2045.
On February 11, 2020, the Town Council adopted Resolution No. 4325: A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of San Anselmo Declaring a Climate and Ecological Emergency in San Anselmo. In declaring a Climate and Ecological Emergency, the Town Council directed the Town Manager to (i) work with staff to include consideration and prioritization of consistency with the Climate Action Plan 2030, as amended or updated, in staff reports to Council and (ii) to earmark specific funds for greenhouse gas and climate change mitigation annually, beginning in the Fiscal Year 2020-2021. Subsequently, the 2020-2021 budget, adopted on June 23, 2020, included the addition of Appendix B, which tracked the Town’s anticipated spending on Climate Action Plan Implementation Programs.
With the adoption of the FY 2021-2022 budget, the Town Council formally recognized the ongoing need to devote resources towards implementing its Climate Action Plan. The creation of the Climate Fund is intended to help the Town build its capacity to identify and undertake climate action at the municipal level and to provide maximum transparency to the public on the Town’s progress.
In 2021-2022, funds are budgeted in the amount of $50,000 to hire a part-time Climate Action Coordinator (as described in the San Anselmo 2021-2023 Work Plan Priorities, Administrative & Finance Priority #10, adopted on April 27th, 2021) and for other expenses related to identifying and implementing policies, programs, and grants consistent with the Town’s stated climate action goals.
The proposed FY 2024-2025 budget for the Climate Action Fund is $155,000. The $150,000 of outside services budgeted is to cover half of the salary for the part-time Climate Action Coordinator and hire consultants on an as-needed basis to support the implementation of climate action programs, policies, and projects including assistance with the implementation of SolarAPP+ and SB 1383. Additional expenditures may include pilot projects (e.g., streetlight-connected EV chargers, micromobility charging network), rebate programs (e.g., electric landscape equipment, heat pumps, E-bikes), Zero Waste activities, an EV & E-bike show, and outreach/educational materials.

CREEKSIDE COMMON FUND
At the Town Council meeting on September 25, 2018, Town Council discussed an idea related to planning for the renovation of Creek Park following the potential removal of the building at 630-636 San Anselmo Avenue, otherwise known as “Building Bridge 2”. This building is being considered for removal as part of the Marin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District’s San Anselmo Flood Risk Reduction Program (SAFRR).
An idea was brought forward for a local design competition using the post-building removal, expanded space at Creek Park as a canvas for collecting visionary design proposals with the potential to enliven the park and adjoining commercial district.
The goal of this competition would be to foster creativity and challenge participants to think outside the box; to propose exciting ideas that have never been considered possible for the space; to reimagine the existing urban/park landscape; and to aid in bringing Creek Park into the 21st Century.
On June 25, 2019, the Town Council directed the Town Manager to convene a Community Advisory Group (CAG) to help oversee the public process portion of the design development and conduct fundraising for the project.
Since then, the Town has received a total donation amount of $351,500 toward identifying opportunities to improve public areas associated with the flood control project, with the funding used for preliminary geotechnical studies, preliminary structural bridge, and abutment design, and RHAA renderings to visualize potential improvements.
More funding will be needed for the construction of the project.

In creating the Active Transportation Fund, the Town Council affirms the need to identify and implement priority active transportation infrastructure projects beyond the Town’s historical practice of adding “Complete Streets” elements to its existing paving and slurry seal program. Thus, the Active Transportation Fund is intended to be used towards infrastructure projects independent from the ongoing implementation of Complete Streets features that are installed in tandem with larger capital projects.
Furthermore, the Council encourages that projects funded through the Active Transportation Fund should generally not be directed primarily or exclusively towards visual treatments (e.g., sharrows, striping, high visibility crosswalks, and Class III bicycle lanes) and should instead be allocated primarily to infrastructure and hardscape treatments that create physical safety, traffic calming effects, and enhanced accessibility and usability for all active transportation users.

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND
CAPITAL RECONSTRUCTION FUND
The Capital Reconstruction Fund accounts for the revenues and expenses of capital projects. It is funded primarily by the General Fund. Prior to the funding crisis beginning in 2003, Town policy had been to make a transfer from current year General Fund revenues, which is generally 70% of the amount of the prior year’s General Fund carryover (excess of revenues carried over from the prior year, less any transfer needed to replenish the Emergency Projects Fund). Because of the funding shortfalls in the past several years, Council has opted to allocate funds where they are most needed.
Projects are funded on a prioritized basis, based on health, safety, liability, cost-benefit, cost avoidance, and ability to deliver services, and categorized according to prior commitments (whether by written agreement with an outside entity, or by policy direction), liability/safety, and other. The project expenditures are typically categorized as follows:
• Commitments due to grants and loans: These are projects for which the Town has entered into written agreements for repayment of funds, or for which the Town would be responsible for returning funds to the grantee; in some cases, these funds have already been spent. • Recommended due to liability and/or safety concerns: The projects in this category have been identified as having safety and/or liability risks for the Town if they are not accomplished. • Recommended based on prior commitments and/or direction: These are projects for which Council has previously appropriated funds, established by policy as a priority, or given direction to staff to accomplish.
• Other: These projects or other funding recommendations do not fit into another category. The unprogrammed projects appropriation is used to fund unanticipated and emergency needs and cost overruns in budgeted projects.

EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND
The Equipment Replacement Fund accounts for revenues that are restricted or otherwise designated for the purchase of Town equipment.
In the past, the Town did not have an adopted equipment replacement schedule and funding program but instead scheduled equipment acquisition and replacement as funds are available. The Town has allocated about $200,000 each year for the last ten years from the General Fund to the Equipment Fund to fund the following costs:
• Town-wide computer hardware/software replacement or acquisition. • The debt service payment for the Marin Emergency Radio Authority (MERA) Bonds • Vehicle lease payment for three electronic vehicles. • Fund Town’s Climate Action Plan activities.
During 2020-21, the Town updated its inventory listings for Vehicle and Technology programs. The Town decided to create two separate Internal Services Funds: Technologies Replacement and Vehicle Replacement funds to maintain the Town’s future Technology and Vehicle replacement activities.

DEBT SERVICE FUNDS
MEASURE G DEBT SERVICE
In June 1995, the San Anselmo voters approved a $10.8 million general obligation bond measure, known as Measure G, to finance improvements to the Town’s streets, storm drains, and Library building.
This fund is dedicated to the collection of property tax assessments for the repayment of principal and interest on the bonds. As required by law, it was segregated from the Measure G Bond Proceeds Fund which was dedicated to the receipt and expenditure of the $10.8 million bond funds. A separate fund was established for each issue. The Measure G bond proceeds are fully expended.
Series 1995
The first bond issue of $2.125 million was sold in August 1995. The first debt service payment was made in February 1996, and the second in August 1996. This debt service schedule is repeated for the remainder of the series of payments. The debt service is being paid by a tax levied on the tax roll, beginning in the 1995-96 fiscal year. The tax rate levied per $100 of assessed valuation is as follows:
1995-96: 1.4 cents
1996-97: 1.2 cents
1997-98: 1.1 cents

2011-12: (Refunded in conjunction with 1997 and 2000 issues) Any tax proceeds remaining in excess of debt service payments and interest revenue on funds in the debt service fund are designated as a reserve for future year payments.
Series 1997
A $3.55 million general obligation bond issue was sold in July 1997. The tax rate levied per $100 of assessed valuation is as follows:
1997-98: 1.7 cents
1998-99: 1.9 cents

Fund Balance
The revenue in this fund is collected as part of the property tax bill. The Town receives this revenue in December and April. The Debt Service payments are due in August and February.
Due to the timing difference, it is necessary to maintain a fund balance sufficient to make the August payment of the succeeding fiscal year.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
INSURANCE FUND
The Insurance Fund receives and expends funds related to the Town’s liability and workers’ compensation self-insurance coverage.
LIABILITY INSURANCE
On July 1, 1996, the Town became a member of the Bay Cities Joint Powers Insurance Authority (Bay Cities), a self-insurance pool that provides liability insurance coverage to twenty agencies in the Bay Area. Each member agency selects a self-insured retention limit. With the transition to Central Marin Police Authority for police services, the Town’s self-insured retention has been reduced to $10,000 (from the previous amount of $100,000), below which the agency pays the claim costs. The insurance authority is responsible for costs above the limit, although it purchases excess insurance coverage for costs above $1 million, up to $20 million. A premium for coverage is charged based on the self-insured limit selected, the member agency’s claim history and exposure, and the financial standing of the pool.
Beginning in 1999-00, Bay Cities coverage includes personnel-related liabilities.
WORKERS COMPENSATION
Until June 30, 2003, the Town was a member of the Marin County Risk Management Authority (MCRMA), a self-insurance pool for workers’ compensation coverage. Called an “account pool,” this self-insurance program maintained separate accounts for each pool member. Losses and expenses were paid from the member’s pool account, up to the self-insured retention limit.
Effective July 1, 2003, the MCRMA group transferred to the Bay Cities Joint Powers Insurance Authority (Bay Cities), as the MCRMA Program Administrator retired. The Town’s self-insured retention in the Bay Cities Workers Compensation pool is $150,000. Costs more than this limit are paid by the Authority, although it purchases excess insurance coverage from a commercial insurance agency.
Annually, Bay Cities evaluates the financial risk position of each member and establishes an annual assessment based on outstanding claims and claim history. 2023-24 Highlights
A transfer of $750,000 has been made to the Insurance Fund from the General Fund to ensure an adequate claims reserve, as required by Bay Cities. The reserve for claims is now $101,291, within the limits set by Bay Cities.

Vehicle Replacement Fund
The Vehicle Replacement Fund accounts for the costs of operating and maintaining the Town’s vehicle program.
During the fiscal year 2020-21, the Town updated its vehicle inventory list and developed a replacement strategy. Historically, vehicle replacement, repair, or lease expenses have been budgeted in the Equipment Fund or run through the Public Works Department operating cost. The Town proposes charging user departments $60,000 from the General fund for the FY2024-25 budget year.
Any unused funding will stay within the fund and build up the reserve for future needs.
The Town Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-4527 at its meeting on February 13, 2024, establishing a Fleet Zero-Emissions Vehicle Policy. The purpose of the policy is to document the process and department responsibilities for purchasing and managing the Town’s vehicle fleet in a manner that minimizes GHG emissions and considers life-cycle costs when purchasing fleet vehicles. The policy helps implement several measures from the Town’s Climate Action Plan, ensures compliance with the Advanced Clean Fleets regulation, saves the Town money through reduced fuel and maintenance costs by purchasing ZEVs, and would serve as a model for the community by transitioning to ZEVs in a timely and cost-effective manner. Furthermore, the policy is focused on reducing vehicle size/weight and optimizing the fleet size to reduce overall fleet management costs and reduce environmental impacts associated with the manufacturing and distribution of new vehicles.
Staff will continue to look for opportunities to use alternative fuel vehicles or other opportunities to reduce air pollution.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #:1.4
MEETING DATE: June 25, 2024
AGENDA TITLE: Proposed 5-Year Capital Improvement
Program (CIP)
FROM: Sean Condry, P.E., Public Works Director
Scott Schneider, P.E., Asst. Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council consider approving the 5-Year CIP for fiscal years FY 24/25 through FY 28/29.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Towns Capital Improvement Plans (CIP) for the past 15 years have been instrumental in providing a road map for projects, funding, and staffing in order to improve the Town’s roads, buildings, parks, etc. With the CIPs the Town has increased the Pavement Condition Index from the low to mid 50s to 72, improved sidewalks around many of our schools, renovated our parks, and fixed long deferred maintenance on our buildings all which add to the quality of life for Town residents.
With our 4th CIP within the last 15 years and the passage of measure J the Town is in a great place to not only continue the major improvements on our roads, buildings, and parks but to further improve the quality of life of its residents through active transportation, green and energy saving infrastructure, along with resilience projects.
The Public Works Department has been following the current 5-Year CIP approved by the Town Council in 2019 and much of the work has been completed or is underway.
All CIPs are dynamic plans, as specific projects are modified due to many factors, such as critical need at certain streets or buildings, conflicts with utility or other projects, the ever changing environment and the need to move beyond the mindset of infrastructure built only for cars.
With impacts of the environment and active transportation in mind a new 5-Year CIP is currently being prepared for FY 24/25 through FY 28/29. 181
Item #: 1.4
The Town has 20 Bridges, approximately 40 lane miles of road, 6 buildings, 6 parks, 3 major medians, traffic signals, streetlights, and other miscellaneous infrastructure. The value of the Town’s roads alone is estimated to be approximately $85,000,000. Adding in bridges, buildings, etc. the total value of the Town’s infrastructure is in the hundreds of millions. The Town’s annual budget, not including grants, to maintain this infrastructure is only about $3,500,000.
In 2012, San Anselmo residents approved Measure D, a ½-cent sales tax to improve roads, parks and town buildings. In 2023, the residents voted to extend and double the tax, and approved Measure J, a 1-cent sales tax.
With the expiration of the 2019 5-year CIP and the increase in revenue from Measure J, staff has prepared a new 5-Year CIP for FY 24/25 through FY 28/29. Many of the priorities of the previous CIPs are the same.
It is important to remember that given a limited budget and the dynamic, ever-changing state of the Town’s infrastructure, that the cost, scheduling and prioritizing of projects is based on the need for flexibility. Throughout the course of a typical year, the Town receives grants, shares projects to reduce costs, and/or other funding that may be one time or recurring. In light of this need for flexibility, the 5-Year CIP projects and costs are not fixed but represent the approximate budget.
Some of the funds in the Capital Budget, such as Road Impact fees and Measure AA/SB1, are restricted to road maintenance. Not included below are grants which are shown in the proposed 5-Year CIP table (Attachment 3). As can be seen in Attachment 3, there are over 90 projects or programs that the Town is working on.
Public Works Capital Budget:
Road Impact Fees (Building Permits) $375,000
Road Impact Fees (Garbage Trucks) $84,000
Measure AA (countywide sales tax) $305,000
SB1 (State gas tax) $325,000
General Fund $450,000
Measure J $2,000,000
Total $3,539,000
CIP Project Categories:
Paving/Streets
Staff plans for approximately $1,500,000 in paving each year, along with $250,000 of crack and slurry seal projects to improve the Town’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI).
Also included are annual funding for traffic signal controller maintenance, unprogrammed paving (major pothole repair), and concrete street repair. Attachment 4 shows the streets programmed for 2024 through 2030.
182
Item #: 1.4
Active Transportation
Improvements for non-motorized forms of transportation (walking and bicycling) is a large component of the CIP. Staff actively seeks grant funds for larger projects.
Projects in the 5-Year CIP include traffic signal improvements at Sir Francis Drake Blvd. at Broadmoor Ave. and Sais Ave., Safe Routes to Schools projects, sidewalk gap closures, ADA improvements, trail projects, traffic calming program, and other improvements.
Parks
Over the last two years, the Town has invested in improving the Memorial Park Athletic fields, the main parking lot, Millenium Playground, and is assisting with updating the master plan for improvements at the south end of the park. When the County Flood Control District project is completed at Creek Park, the Town will have an opportunity to improve the park as well as the plaza along San Anselmo Avenue.
The Town Council authorized the creation of a Park Capital Improvement Fund at the June 11, 2024, meeting with an initial $500,000 transfer from the General Fund. . A dedicated Parks Capital Improvement Fund ensures that our town can undertake longterm planning for park development and maintenance. It provides a stable financial resource that allows for strategic investments in infrastructure and facilities, ensuring that parks remain well-maintained and equipped to meet the evolving needs of the community. In fiscal year 2024-2025, the CIP includes funding for Robson Lower Lawn and Hilldale Pocket Park.
Buildings
The Town’s buildings, including Town Hall, the Library, Isabel Cook Community Center, Robson-Harrington House, as well as Fire Stations 19 and 20, are in need of significant maintenance and repairs to avoid more costly replacement. The 5-Year CIP includes projects funded by Measure J, the Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), and the Building Maintenance Fund.
Bridges
The Town has 20 bridges, some almost 100 years old. Many of the larger bridges are inspected by Caltrans every other year, and depending on the condition, may qualify for repair or replacement funds from the federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP). The federal process has turned out to be quite slow, sometimes taking over a decade. As the programmed bridge projects progress, some require an 11% local match, which will likely come from Measure J, and will become significant during the construction phase of the projects in the latter years of the 5-Year CIP.

Item #: 1.4
Stormwater/Flood Control
The Town has been improving existing storm drains each year by replacing rotted corrugated metal pipe (CMP) or lining pipe that is in danger of rotting. New storm drain projects are extremely expensive and have not been programmed in the 5-Year CIP.
The Town is facing regulations from our State Stormwater Permit that require filtering out trash and debris smaller than 5 millimeters from stormwater in our downtown and high-density housing areas. Over the next 5 years, the Town will be required to install trash capture devices inside storm drain catch basins in several areas of Town.
Drought/Climate/Solar
The Town has prioritized projects to improve wells at Memorial Park and Creek Park to reduce our reliance on potable water and has been successful in obtaining grants to offset costs for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations at parking lots and parks. A resiliency hub is planned for Town Hall, with solar panels and batteries to allow normal town functions during power outages.
FISCAL IMPACT
The overall fiscal impact will be determined each year as the CIP projects are reviewed and approved by the Town Council. Funds will come from grants, Road Impact Fees, local Measure AA funds, state SB1 funds, the Road Maintenance Budget and Measure J, as well as the General Fund.
CONCLUSION
As can be seen by the projects included in the 5-Year CIP, the Town has a lot on its plate, but a lot is also getting a lot done. Currently Public Works is working on Town Hall Roof and HVAC Replacement, Resilience Hub, Firehouse 20 Remodel, Parkside Preschool Design and Remodel, Library Roof and HVAC Replacement Design, 2024 Pavement Project, 2024 Slurry Project, Town parking lots EV charging, Hilldale Pocket Park, Non-maintained road projects, etc. With all of these current projects underway, which are part of the 90 plus projects or programs in the 5 Year CIP, the Town and Public Works are in full throttle. Therefore, adopting the 5 Year CIP is imperative for staff so it can determine priorities, bandwidth and funding. All of the projects on the 5 Year CIP may not get done and are dependent on many factors.
Many of these projects must follow the Town’s adopted Complete Streets Policy, which considers all modes of transportation such as vehicles, mass transit, bicyclists, and pedestrians in the design, as well as conform to ADA and our ADA transition plan.
While the amount of funding for all of the Town’s needs is far from met, Measure J has had a significant impact on our failing roads, bringing the PCI up to 72, which staff hopes to continue increasing in the coming years. Town staff is always looking for new 184
Item #: 1.4
information, ideas, and sources of funding, whether it is for roads, active transportation, flood control or climate resilience. Grants are an important portion of our total project funding. Without grants, Measure J, and other sources of funding, the Town’s infrastructure would be completely failing and the Town would be in serious trouble both fiscally and operationally.
With so many projects and our limited funds, flexibility and adaptability in the Towns CIP budget are fundamental to meeting the Town’s most critical needs. Over the coming years the Town, along with our utility companies (Ross Valley Sanitary District, Marin Municipal Water District, AT&T, and PG&E), will be completing major projects and this is yet another reason why the Town’s budget cannot be static but must be dynamic.
Even with our current staff size, staff is fully loaded between 90 plus projects and programs in the 5-Year CIP, day-to-day permitting, managing utility projects and operations, and serving the residents of San Anselmo. Therefore, prioritizing work to ensure that staff and the maintenance crew are not overloaded is critical to maintain productivity. With this in mind, Public Works balances the needs of the community with the needs of the individual on a daily basis to maintain efficiency and provide good public service.
Attachments 1 and 2 are generated from the Town’s new CIP software, Plan-IT. The first attachment categorizes the CIP by types, such as Bridges, Buildings, Streets, etc.
The second attachment presents the same projects organized by their respective funding sources, including Measure J, Grants, the Road Maintenance Fund, and others.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 1.5
MEETING DATE: June 25, 2024
AGENDA TITLE: 2023 Traffic and Crime Statistics Report
FROM: Michael A. Norton, Chie of Police
Central Marin Police Authority
RECOMMENDATION: Receive Report.
SUMMARY
2023 Traffic and Crime Statistics Report
BACKGROUND
Each year the Central Marin Police Authority prepares and presents an Annual Crime and Traffic Statistics Report. This staff report will summarize pertinent areas of the 2023 Annual Crime and Traffic Statistics report (Attachment #2) as it compares to the 2022 Annual Crime and Traffic Statistics Report (Attachment #1).
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
2023 Annual Crime and Traffic Statistics Report (Attachment #2)
1. Calls for Service Analysis (page 2)
a. Calls for service trended slightly down from 33,333 (2022) to 32,175 (2023).
b. San Anselmo’s share remained level at 31% in both 2022 and 2023.
2. Calls for Service Stats (page 3)
a. The location with the highest number of calls for service in San Anselmo was:
i. Red Hill Shopping Center 388 (2023), down from 423 (2022).
3. Calls for Service Stats: Traffic Stops (page 7)
a. Traffic stops decreased from 5,425 (2022) to 4,637 (2023). Much of this is attributable to the Traffic Division being further pulled from their duties to cover Patrol due to continued staffing challenges surrounding recruitment and retention.

Item #: 1.5
4. Calls for Service Analysis: Traffic Stops (page 8)
a. The number of traffic stops occurring in San Anselmo decreased from 1,922 (2022) to 1,274 (2023).
5. Reports Analysis (page 12)
a. The number of overall reports taken remained relatively level with 2,470 (2023) and 2,463 (2022).
6. Reports Stats (page 13)
a. The location with the highest number of reports taken in San Anselmo was:
i. Red Hill Shopping Center 25 (2023), down from 36 (2022).
7. Reports: UCR to NIBRS (page 14)
a. In March of 2022, the Central Marin Police Authority transitioned from the FBI’s Summary Reporting System - commonly referred to as UCR - to the federally mandated National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).
NIBRS captures additional details on each incident, to include the separate offenses within the same incident, on offenses, victims, offenders, and locations of specified crime types. Due to the transition occurring in March 2022, a comparison to 2023 would not be accurate.
For additional information, please refer to the following website:
https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-andinformation/ucr/nibrs
8. Moving and Parking Citations (page 20)
a. Moving citations issued decreased from 1,875 (2022) to 1,032 (2023).
Much of this is attributable to the Traffic Division being further pulled from their duties to cover Patrol due to continued staffing challenges surrounding recruitment and retention.
b. Parking Citations increased from 3,290 (2022) to 4,787 (2023). Much of this is attributable to the creation of Community Service Officer positions in Larkspur and San Anselmo.
9. Calls for Service Analysis: Traffic Collisions (page 21) a. Traffic Collisions rose slightly from 591 (2022) to 617 (2023). b. San Anselmo’s traffic collisions increased from 194 (2022) to 206 (2023).
10.Traffic Collisions in San Anselmo (page 25)
a. In San Anselmo, major injury collisions decreased from 5 (2022) to 3 (2023).
b. In San Anselmo, the number of collisions at Butterfield and Sir Francis Drake stayed flat at 7 in 2022 and 2023.

14 In March of 2022, the Central Marin Police Authority transitioned from the FBI’s Summary Reporting System - commonly referred to as UCR - to the federally mandated National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). NIBRS captures additional details on each incident, to include the separate offenses within the same incident, on offenses, victims, offenders, and locations of specified crime types. Due to the transition occurring in March 2022, a comparison to 2023 would not be accurate.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #:1.6
MEETING DATE: June 25, 2024
AGENDA TITLE: Revenue and Expenditure Reports, May 2024 FROM: Jeff Zuba, Finance & Admin Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: That Town Council consider approving the monthly year-todate Revenue and Expenditure Reports and corresponding activity for the period ending through May 31, 2024.
SUMMARY
Every reporting period end, the Town of San Anselmo presents to the Town Council its operations as shown on the Revenue and Expenditure reports for discussion and approval.
BACKGROUND
The Revenue and Expenditure reports are year-to-date summaries of revenues and expenditures from the Town’s financial system (‘Tyler Incode’) for both the current as well as the prior corresponding fiscal year. These reports include the General Fund’s operations given most of the Town-level operational activities are processed through the General Fund either directly or indirectly. This approval is to be obtained once a month within the fiscal year.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The revenue and expenditure data through May 31, 2024, is a compilation of all operating activity that is year-to-date for the current and prior fiscal year. These reports are sourced directly from the Town’s financial system, of which a corresponding analysis has been performed identifying the key trends the Town Council should take note of.
Revenues
251
Item #: 1.6
Overall, through the May 2024 reporting period end, the Town’s General Fund revenue has increased its base relative to the prior year by $0.981M. A majority of the Town’s revenue is collected at specific times.
As shown above, the Town’s overall revenue base increased by $0.945M as its Property Taxes - The Town receives disbursements from the County of Marin for property taxes in December, April, and June. A portion of the increase compared to the prior period of $0.186M is due to a timing delay in the County of Marin issuing the 2022-2023 excess Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) payment to the Town. This payment is normally received in August however it was received in October. That is outside of 60 days of year-end, so it was not recorded back into 2022-23. The remaining increase of $0.663M is due to the
5.5% growth in assessed and net taxable value the Town experienced in 2023-
24. Sales Tax decreased by $0.021M compared to the prior period due to a slight decrease in consumer activity. The Town receives disbursements monthly from the State for Sales Tax.
Franchise Taxes increased by $0.030M due to rate increases by the respective provider and/or consumer activity.
License & Permits decreased by $0.096M compared to the prior period due to declining construction activity around the Town and the timing of business license collections.
Intergovernmental increased by $0.065M compared to the prior period due to the timing of collections for Prop 172 .5% sales tax and grants related to the Housing Element.
Other fees increased by $0.070 compared to the prior period due to the timing of collections from the Ross Valley Fire Department for the financial services contract and an increase of donations from the Friends of the Library for programming and library remodel.
As far as the other revenue streams, these changes either decreased or remained flat year-over-year resulting in an immaterial change.
Expenditures
Overall, through the May 2024 reporting period end, the Town’s General Fund expenditures have increased by $1.818M compared to the prior year. This is primarily Category MAY YTD FY24 MAY YTD FY23 $ Change % Change

from increases in compensation, outside services, debt service, and other expenditures.
All other activity is either flat year-over-year or nets correspondingly to an immaterial change—all of which are within management’s expectations.
As shown above, the Town’s expenditures base overall increased by $1.818M of which is driven by compensation, outside services, debt service, and other expenditures:
Compensation (Salaries & Wages and Benefits) increased by $0.514M compared to the prior fiscal year primarily due to the 4.5% cost of living adjustment effective July 1, 2023, filling of open positions, step adjustments, and an increase in health insurance premiums.
Outside Services increased by $0.656M compared to the previous fiscal year due to payments for Public Safety JPA’s and construction project activity, specifically Memorial Park Parking Lot.
Maintenance increased by $0.188M compared to the previous fiscal year due to unscheduled repairs/maintenance at the Town’s fire stations, Town Hall, and resources needed for upkeep of the medians.
Supplies increased by $0.082M compared to the previous fiscal due to supplies/materials needed for traffic safety and the care of the Memorial Park field.
Debt Service increased by $0.092M compared to the previous fiscal year due to the repayment of the 2021 Pension Obligation Bonds noted above. The bond payments are due in August and February.
Other Expenditures increased by $0.211M compared to the previous fiscal year due to the increase in insurance premiums for property, liability, and cyber security as well as a slight increase in internal service charges for technology and building maintenance.
As far as the other expenditure streams, these changes either slightly changed or remained flat year-over-year resulting in an immaterial change. All other changes are taken together overall immaterial for further discussion and are expected given the Town’s operations.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.1
MEETING DATE: June 25, 2024
AGENDA TITLE: Consideration of Resolution Placing Measure on November 5, 2024 General Election Ballot regarding Just Cause
Eviction and Tenant Protection Ordinance
FROM: Administration, Planning, Town Attorney’s Office
RECOMMENDATION: Consider Resolution placing measure on November 5, 2024 ballot adopting just cause and tenant protection ordinance.
BACKGROUND
After several public meetings and extensive community engagement throughout 2023, the Town Council directed staff to separate the issues of rent stabilization and just cause eviction. On April 9, 2024, the Town Council adopted a Rent Stabilization Ordinance, which is the subject of a referendum. On May 28, 2024, the Town Council voted to place the Rent Stabilization Ordinance referendum on the November 5, 2024 General Election.
As a companion discussion to Rent Stabilization, at a public hearing on May 14, 2024 the Town Council discussed just cause tenancy termination and tenant protection issues. At that meeting, 3 of 5 Councilmembers directed staff to return with a Just Cause Eviction and Tenant Protection Ordinance Template for the Council’s consideration.
On May 28, 2024, the Town Council held a second public meeting to consider a Draft Ordinance Template. After hearing public comment and discussing the matter, 3 of 5 Councilmembers directed modifications to the Draft Ordinance. A majority of the Council also indicated that it sought to place the issue on the ballot to be voted on at the November 5, 2024 General Election. Staff now returns with a Just Cause Eviction and Tenant Protection Ordinance and Resolution to place the Ordinance as a measure on the ballot.
By way of background, the Tenant Protection Act, Government Code sections 1947.12 and 1946.2 (“TPA”) contains Statewide rent stabilization and just cause eviction and tenancy termination regulations that apply to certain residential rental properties. The tenant protection provisions of the TPA apply to tenants after 12 months of residency on non-exempt properties 15 years and older on a rolling basis. 257
Item #: 2.1
Under the TPA, a property owner may only end a tenancy or refuse to renew a lease if it is for a “just cause” reason, which can either be “at-fault” or “no-fault.” A local jurisdiction may adopt more stringent just cause regulations. The TPA also requires landlords to pay relocation assistance for no-fault evictions in the amount equal to one month’s rent. The TPA does not address short-term relocation benefits when a tenant must move out temporarily for repairs. As noted previously, the draft Ordinance contains many provisions of the TPA, which would apply to tenants after 30 days of residency. More protective provisions are also included per Council direction.
DISCUSSION
A. Changes Per Majority Council Direction.
Staff has made following modifications to the Draft Ordinance per majority Council direction at the May 28, 2024 meeting:
Five Year Right of Return Upon Same Terms for No-Fault Just Cause Evictions. If a property owner evicts a tenant for any no-fault just cause reason, the displaced tenant is entitled to return to the unit with the same rent (plus allowable rent increases under law) and the same terms if the property owner decides to re-rent the unit within 5 years of the termination. The tenant must give the landlord notice of the desire to consider reoccupation of the unit in writing within 30 days of the termination of the tenancy.
No-Fault Just Cause Relocation Assistance, 90-day Tenancy. To be eligible for relocation assistance for a no-fault just cause eviction, the tenant must have lived in the residential rental unit for a period of 90 days or longer. 90-day Notice to Terminate for No-Fault Just Cause. A property owner must give at least 90 days’ notice to a tenant to terminate for any no-fault just cause reason.
Terminations for at-fault just cause reasons are governed by State law. Short Term Relocation Assistance $180 Per Day, Adjusted Annually per CPI. If a tenant is displaced from a rental unit for a period of 30 days or less for renovation or repair work, the property owner must compensate the tenant in the amount of $180 per day, adjusted annually pursuant to the San Francisco Bay Area Consumer Price Index. The tenant may either receive this compensation as a deduction from rent or as a payment. Staff has maintained the ability of a tenant to receive a payment rather than require a deduction from rent because there are some circumstances in landlord-tenant law where a tenant may wish to keep paying rent to preserve certain tenant arguments. In either event, the compensation of $180 days is the same, and the choice is up to the tenant regarding a cash compensation or rent deduction.
B. Just Cause Eviction and Tenant Protection Ordinance Summary.
The following summarizes tenant protections under the Draft Ordinance. As noted in previous staff reports, many of the provisions are taken from the Tenant Protection Act. 258
Item #: 2.1
Applies to properties with 3 residential rental units or more. Landlords require “just cause” to terminate a tenancy, which is either “at-fault” or “no-fault.” Applies to tenants who have lawfully occupied the residence for 30 days or more.
At-fault just cause:
- Default in payment of rent
- Breach of a material lease term
- Maintaining or committing a nuisance
- Committing waste
- The tenant had lease that terminated on or after date of Ordinance and the tenant refuses to execute a lease extension or renewal upon similar terms - Criminal activity
- Subletting or assigning in violation of the lease
- Tenant failure to allow owner required access
- Using the premises for an unlawful purpose
- An employee, agent, or licensee’s failure to vacate after their termination - Failure to deliver required possession of the property after notice No-fault just cause:
- The intent of the owner’s family to occupy the property. For leases entered after the effective date of the Ordinance, this provision shall only apply if it is included in the lease or if tenant agrees in writing to the termination. - Withdrawal of the property from the rental market. Tenants are entitled to a 120 day minimum notice.
- A government or court order to vacate the property.
- Intent to demolish or substantially remodel property. Just Cause Curable Lease Violation. Before evicting for a just cause at-fault breach of lease, if the issue is curable, the property owner must give notice of the violation and allow the tenant the opportunity to cure. Notice. The property owner must provide the following notices:
- Notice of existence of the Ordinance and availability of potential relocation assistance. For tenancies after the Ordinance date, notice must be included in either the lease or as a written notice signed by the tenant. - For all no-fault terminations, owner must give at least a 90-day notice of termination. At-fault terminations governed by State law. Relocation Assistance. A tenant who has lawfully and continuously occupied the property for at least 90 days will be eligible for relocation assistance paid by the landlord for a no-fault just cause eviction regardless of the tenant’s income. If the property owner has given the tenant a notice to terminate of 120 days or greater, then the amount of relocation assistance shall be equal to 2 months’ rent. If the property owner has given the tenant a notice to terminate tenancy of less than 120 days, relocation shall be equal to 3 months’ rent.
5-year Right of Return Upon Same Terms. A tenant evicted for a no-fault reason shall be entitled to return to the unit upon the same terms if the property owner decides to re-rent the property within 5 years of the termination. Tenant must give landlord notice.

Short-Term Relocation Assistance. A tenant displaced from a unit for repairs for 30 days or less is entitled to $180 per day, adjusted annually per the CPI. The following is a summary of the most common exempt units. - Two or fewer residential rental units located on a parcel or lot, or contiguous parcels or lots under common ownership. This is the same as the Town’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance.
- A unit in a hotel, boarding house, or an institutional facility including a hospital or a care facility.
- School dormitories.
- Single-family homes and condominiums.
- ADUs and JADUs.
C. Ballot Measure.
Pursuant to majority Council direction, staff has included a draft Resolution that would place the Ordinance as a Ballot Measure on the November 5, 2024 General Election.
Pursuant to Elections Code section 9217, if a majority of voters approve the Measure, the Ordinance will become part of the Town’s Municipal Code. Pursuant to Elections Code section 9217, staff has included a provision allowing the Town Council to repeal or amend the Ordinance directly if the Measure passes. Without this language, any amendment/repeal is only available by a vote of the people (i.e., the Council would have to place another measure on the ballot if it sought to amend the Ordinance at a future date.) If the Measure fails, then no ordinance on the same or similar subject matter may be enacted from 1 year of the date of the election. (Elec. Code, § 9241.)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has no substantive recommendation regarding the issue of Just Cause Eviction and Tenant Protection regulations. Staff recommends that the Town Council take public comment and discuss the issue to determine if the majority would like to place such regulations on the ballot for the November 2024 General Election.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Ordinance language contains a provision that allows the Council to adopt fees by Resolution at a future date.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
Just cause eviction and tenant protection regulations are not considered a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because they do not involve an activity which has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Pub. Res. Code, § 21065).

EXHIBIT “A”
The people of the Town of San Anselmo hereby Ordain that a new Chapter 2 “Just Cause Eviction and Tenant Protection” shall be added to Title 20 “Rent Stabilization and Tenant Protections” of the San Anselmo Municipal Code to read as follows:

20-2.102 Applicability. This Chapter shall apply to property with three (3) or more residential rental units, none of which are exempt pursuant to this Chapter, and which are located on the same parcel or lot, or contiguous parcels or lots, under common ownership.
Unless otherwise indicated herein, this Chapter shall apply when a tenant has lawfully and continuously occupied property for thirty (30) days or more. 20-2.103 Purpose.

The Ordinance promotes the public health safety, and welfare.
20-2.104 Definitions. For the purposes of this Chapter the following definitions apply:
(a) “Owner” and “residential real property” have the same meaning as those terms are defined in Civil Code section 1946.2.
(b) “Tenancy” means the lawful occupation of residential real property, as may be subject to, and not exempt from, this Chapter.
20-2.105 Restriction on Residential Tenancy Termination Without Just Cause.
Notwithstanding any other law, after a tenant has lawfully and continuously occupied residential real property for thirty (30) days or more, the owner of residential real property shall not terminate the tenancy without just cause as defined in Section 20-2.106, which shall be stated in a written notice to terminate tenancy. 20-2.106 Just Cause. The following circumstances constitute just cause for termination of a residential tenancy permitted by this Chapter. (a) At-Fault Just Cause. At-fault just cause means any of the following:
(1) Default in the payment of rent.
(2) A breach of a material term of the lease as described in Code of Civil Procedure section 1161(3), including, but not limited to, violation of a provision of the lease after being issued a written notice to correct the violation. (3) Maintaining, committing, or permitting the maintenance or commission of a nuisance as described in Code of Civil Procedure section 1161(4). (4) Committing waste as described in Code of Civil Procedure section 1161(4). (5) The tenant had a written lease that terminated on or after the effective date of this Chapter, and after a written request or demand from the property owner, the 266
tenant has refused to execute a written extension or renewal of the lease for an additional term of similar duration with similar provisions and terms; provided, that those terms do not violate this Section or any other provision of law. (6) Criminal activity by the tenant on the residential real property, including any common areas, or any criminal activity or criminal threat as defined in Penal Code section 422(a), on or off the residential real property, that is directed at any owner or agent of the owner of the residential real property.
(7) Assigning or subletting the premises in violation of the tenant’s lease, as described in Code of Civil Procedure section 1161(4).
(8) The tenant’s refusal to allow the owner to enter the residential real property as authorized by Civil Code sections 1101.5 and 1954, and Health and Safety Code sections 13113.7 and 17926.1.
(9) Using the premises for an unlawful purpose as described in Code of Civil Procedure section 1161(4).
(10) The employee, agent, or licensee’s failure to vacate after their termination as an employee, agent, or a licensee as described in Code of Civil Procedure section 1161(1).
(11) When the tenant fails to deliver possession of the residential real property after providing the owner written notice as provided in Civil Code section 1946 of the tenant’s intention to terminate the hiring of the real property, or makes a written offer to surrender that is accepted in writing by the owner, but fails to deliver possession at the time specified in that written notice as descried in Code of Civil Procedure section 1161(5). (b) No-Fault Just Cause. No-fault just cause means any of the following:
(1) Intent to occupy
(i) Intent to occupy the residential real property by the owner or the owner’s spouse, domestic partner, children, grandchildren, parents, or grandparents for a minimum of twelve (12) continuous months as that person’s primary residence. (ii) For leases entered into on or after the effective date of this Chapter, clause (i) shall apply only if the tenant agrees in writing to the termination, or if a provision of the lease allows the owner to terminate the lease if the owner, or their spouse, domestic partner, children, grandchildren, parents, or grandparents unilaterally decides to occupy the residential real property for a period of at least twelve (12) months. (2) Withdrawal of the residential real property from the rental market under, and subject to, the provisions of the Ellis Act. Tenants shall be entitled to a minimum one hundred and twenty (120) day notice for evictions pursuant to the Ellis Act. (3) Order to vacate property

Cosmetic improvements alone including painting, decorating, minor repairs, or other work that can be performed safely without having the residential real property vacated do not qualify as a substantial remodel under this subparagraph. 20-2.107 Just Cause Curable Lease Violation. Before an owner of residential real property issues a notice to terminate a tenancy for just cause that is a curable lease violation, the owner shall first give notice of the violation to the tenant with an opportunity to cure the violation pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1161(3).
The written notice to cure the violation must be dated and served upon the tenant pursuant to one of the methods authorized Code of Civil Procedure section 1162 and must inform the tenant that failure to cure may result in eviction.

See Title 20 of the San Anselmo Municipal Code for more information.”
(5) The owner of residential real property must provide the notice to tenants in writing if the application and lease are processed in writing, electronically if the 268

(b) If the property owner has given the tenant a notice to terminate tenancy of one hundred and twenty (120) days or greater, then the amount of relocation assistance shall be equal to two (2) months of the tenant’s rent that was in effect when the property owner issued the notice to terminate the tenancy.
(c) If the property owner has given the tenant a notice to terminate tenancy of less than one hundred and twenty (120) days, then the amount of relocation assistance shall be equal to three (3) months of the tenant’s rent that was in effect when the property owner issued the notice to terminate the tenancy.

The displaced tenant may advise the property owner at any time during the eligibility of a change of address to which an offer is to be directed.
20-2.120 Short-Term Relocation Assistance.
(a) Where a tenant is displaced from a rental unit for renovation or repair work for a period of thirty (30) days or less, which work does not qualify as a substantial improvement pursuant to Section 20-2.106(b)(4), the property owner shall immediately make short-term relocation payments to the tenant as set forth in this Section. The tenant may elect not to receive short-term relocation assistance. If the tenant receives short-term relocation assistance, the tenant remains obligated to pay the lawful rent in effect when the tenant vacated. If the tenant has elected not to receive short-term relocation assistance, the tenant shall not be obligated to pay rent until the tenant reoccupies the unit. The property owner shall pay such short-term relocation benefits until the tenant re-occupies the unit or the tenant is lawfully evicted.

Dear Town Council Members,
Thank you so much for all the time and thoughtful consideration you are giving to the issue of rent control and eviction protections.
I am unable to be at Tuesday's meeting as I'm out of town. In any case, you've heard me speak several times before and also received emails from me! I'm a renter of 28 years with a excellent landlord.
However, I know renters who have been displaced through no fault of their own, and who have had to leave town to rent in a less expensive area.
The costs of moving are high - thousands of dollars, which many renters simply don't have. Please support moving forward with rent control and eviction protections, to ensure that folks from all socioeconomic strata can continue to live in our awesome town.
Thank you!

Don't permit council to repeal just cause evictions

CAUTION: External Sender
Dear San Anselmo Town Council,
Thank you for all your work to advance rent stabilization and just cause eviction ordinances for San Anselmo renters. We are counting on you to put the just cause evictions ordinance drafted by staff on the November ballot so that voters can determine both rent stabilization and just cause eviction policies together.
I would like to draw your attention this section of the staff report, on page 4 (bolded emphasis added):
"Pursuant to majority Council direction, staff has included a draft Resolution that would place the Ordinance as a Ballot Measure on the November 5, 2024 General Election. Pursuant to Elections Code section 9217, if a majority of voters approve the Measure, the Ordinance will become part of the Town’s Municipal Code. Pursuant to Elections Code section 9217, staff has included a provision allowing the Town Council to repeal or amend the Ordinance directly if the Measure passes. Without this language, any amendment/repeal is only available by a vote of the people (i.e., the Council would have to place another measure on the ballot if it sought to amend the Ordinance at a future date.) If the Measure fails, then no ordinance on the same or similar subject matter may be enacted from 1 year of the date of the election. (Elec. Code, § 9241.)"
If a majority of town residents vote to uphold the just cause evictions ordinance through a direct democratic election with record high turnout (which is what we expect given this year's presidential election), then a new council should not be allowed to repeal the law outright. Such action would be a flagrant violation of basic democratic principles and therefore should not be allowed.
I ask that the town council revise this policy so that the council is allowed to amend the law only in order to strengthen its provisions, not to weaken or repeal it. This would follow the example of the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (AB-1482), which only allows local jurisdictions to pass rent regulation policies that are more protective than state law.
Please honor the results of this November's election. Do not allow a future town council to weaken or repeal the law without a popular vote.
Thank you,
Curt Ries

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING PUBLIC COMMENT (JUNE 25, 2024, 7PM) Wong, Wendy <[email protected]>
Tue 6/25/2024 9:29 AM
To:Town Council <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Dear San Anselmo Town Council:
Access to safe, affordable, and stable housing has been recognized as both a human right and a social determinant of health. I want to encourage a strong Just Cause eviction ordinance that will make the rental lease renewal process more predictable, protect renters from excessive rent increases, empower tenants to advocate for better living conditions without fear of retaliation, and promote long-term housing stability for low-income and marginalized renters.
The following should be included:
A right of return for at least 5 years: This means that if a tenants is evicted due to no fault of their own, they have the right to return to their unit—at their former rent—if the unit becomes available. It's only fair that tenants who have done nothing wrong get a chance to move back into their former homes.
Relocation payments of 3-4 months: If a tenant is evicted despite having done nothing wrong, they should be entitled to relocation payments that enable them to land on their feet in the community. 3-4 months rent is required to pay for first and last months rent, a security deposit, and moving expenses.
Protections for vulnerable communities: Tenants who are elderly, disabled, or terminally ill, should receive additional protections from unfair evictions. Owner move-in evictions should not be permitted to displace these tenants and they should receive a full year of advanced notice for Ellis Act evictions, where the landlord wants to permanently remove their unit from the rental market.
Thank you for your time and concerted effort to make San Anselmo welcoming to anyone who would like to call it home! It is greatly appreciated.
Warm Regards,

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.2
MEETING DATE: 6/25/24
AGENDA TITLE: Approval of Parkside Preschool Playground Project and Authorization of Issuance of RFP if required.
FROM: Mattie O’Grady – Recreation Manager
Matthew Ferrer – Assistant Engineer
RECOMMENDATION: That Town Council Approve the plans for the Parkside Preschool Playground Project (“Project”) and authorize the issuance of a Request for Proposals if required by State law.
BACKGROUND
Staff seeks Town Council approval of the Project to improve the playground at the Parkside Preschool located at the Isabel Cook Community Center, and authorization of the issuance of a Request for Proposals for the installation of playground improvements, should it be necessary under State law.
In 1977, Parkside Preschool was established by Pat Broadbent at the Isabel Cook Community Center. It began as a half day preschool from 9:30 am – 1:00 pm and then in 1982 transitioned to a full-time licensed preschool from 7:30 am – 6:00 pm.
The preschool operated in one classroom and small outdoor area after the closure of the Isabel Cook School in 1975. The outside play area was comprised of a cement downward sloping cement area and a built-in sandbox. The grade of the cement ground combined with the sand created slippery conditions for play. In 2005 the Town was approached by a landscape architect whose child attended the preschool to level out the cement area and pour in place all weather surfacing. The architect along with the Parks Department, were able to fundraise enough money to make the improvements. Once the improvements were finished, the Town found a used plastic play structure online for $350 and installed it.
No updates have been made to the outside playground area since 2005 and over the years the exterior play area has significantly deteriorated. This significantly impacts outdoor play opportunities for our Parkside Preschool children. 276
Item #: 2.2
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Parkside is currently licensed for up to 45 children and operates Monday through Friday from 7:30 am – 5:30 pm. It currently serves 35 families during the school year and during the summer it transitions to summer camp and serves approximately 100 families. Parkside Preschool provides a vital service to the community because it is one of the most affordable full-time preschools in the Ross Valley. Due to high demand, it is significantly impacted and has year-round waitlists. Additionally, given the age of the improvements and the intensity of use, the Preschool grounds are in need of repair and upgrade.
The Project works in conjunction with other Town improvements at the Isabel Cook Community Center site.
First, there are plans to improve and extend the play-yard, which includes resurfacing and extending the yard area. Funding for this has already been allocated.
Also, the Recreation Department has painted the exterior wall of the community center that borders the playground due to its poor condition.
Finally, the Recreation Department will purchase the playground equipment itself through a cooperative purchasing agreement, which is exempt from competitive bidding pursuant to the Town Code, saving cost and time. (SA Mun. Code, § 2-5.04.) Here, the goal of the current Project for which staff seeks Council approval is to install improvements on the playground including new updated play equipment. These components will help enrich the preschoolers’ lives daily and help increase their gross motor skills during active play. The design of this playground will bring Parkside up to industry standard with the quality of outdoor play experiences for toddlers.
Noted above, staff is seeking Council approval for the Project and in addition, Council approval to issue an RFP should the costs of the Project reach an amount that necessitates a competitive bidding process by law.
RECOMMENDATION
Move to approve the Project and authorize staff to issue an RFP for the Project should it be necessary to comply with State law.
FISCAL IMPACT
Town will direct purchase the play-ground equipment for $41,670.39 through a cooperative purchasing agreement, which is exempt from competitive bidding.
Estimated cost of playground installation and re-surfacing would be in the range of $59,500- $73,990 with an 8% contingency.
This project will be funded through the Recreation Department’s reserve fund with limited funds from other sources, such as Measure J.
277
Item #: 2.2
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The improvements are consistent with the Town’s General Plan, including the Parks, Recreation, and Public Facilities Element. The project to improve the preschool will improve service to families with young children in the community by providing affordable, quality preschool educational facilities. The Parks, Recreation, and Public Facilities Element recommends refurbishing the Isabel Cook School multi-purpose building, where the Preschool is located. The Project is consistent with this Goal.
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 Climate Action Plan is not implicated.

MEETING DATE: June 25, 2024
AGENDA TITLE: Award of Construction Contract for the 2024 Slurry Seal Project.
FROM: Scott Schneider, Department of Public Works
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to award the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder and finds the project exempt from CEQA under 14 California Code Regulations § 15301.
SUMMARY
The Town Council approved the 2023 Slurry Seal Project at the May 14, 2024 meeting, and authorized staff to bid the project. The project includes slurry sealing and restriping the following street segments:
Residential Streets
Sunny Hills Drive from Sir Francis Drake Boulevard to Gate Park Way from Sequoia Drive to 55 Park Way
Bungalow Avenue from Sequoia Drive to end
Hilldale Drive from Sequoia Drive to Carolina Avenue
Carolina Avenue from Jordan Avenue to Hilldale Drive
Jordan Avenue from Hilldale Drive to Cottage Avenue
Elm Avenue from San Anselmo Avenue to Scenic Avenue
Elm Court from Scenic Avenue to end
Sycamore Avenue from Madrone Ave to Bridge Avenue
Holstein Avenue from The Alameda to 78 Holstein Avenue
Rancho Drive from Carlson Avenue to end
Carlson Court from Carlson Avenue to end
Hampton venue from El Cerrito Ave to end
Arterial and Collector Streets:
Caleta Avenue from Butterfield Road to The Alameda
The Alameda from Arroyo Avenue to 241 The Alameda
Tomahawk Drive from Blackhawk Drive to Elkhorn Way
Santa Cruz Avenue from San Francisco Boulevard to Santa Barbara Avenue 292
Item #: 2.3
Santa Barbara Avenue from Santa Cruz Avenue to Salinas Avenue Salinas Avenue from San Francisco Boulevard to Santa Barbara Avenue Ross Avenue from Sunnyside Avenue to San Anselmo Avenue Non-Maintained Road Assistance Program (25% contribution from the Town) El Cerrito Avenue from Sir Francis Drake Blvd to Alderney Road Town of Ross – Paid for by Ross
Brookwood Lane from Redwood Drive to Bridge Road
BACKGROUND
In August 2019, the Town Council approved the 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that included a preventative maintenance component. Preventative maintenance includes crack sealing and slurry sealing that is performed on a street or road that is in good condition to extend the life of the pavement. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is a rating from 1 to 100 that is based on an inspection of a road for several pavement distresses. Slurry seal is typically applied to streets with a PCI between 70 and 90.
Slurry seal typically costs about 1/10 of the cost to repave a street. Ideally, a newly paved street will be slurry sealed every 5 to 7 years (up to three times), then allowed to deteriorate to a PCI of 55 or 65, followed by a thin pavement overlay. Without a sufficient budget, most agencies don’t have the luxury of repaving a street with a 65 PCI when portions of the network are in much worse condition. One of the best ways to increase the ‘bang for the buck’ of a pavement network is to inexpensively slurry seal the streets in good condition to increase their life, while simultaneously focusing on fixing the more expensive streets with pavement overlays or reconstruction.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Staff advertised the project for construction, with a bid opening on June 18, 2024.
Three bids were received that were all determined to be responsive. The Engineer’s Estimate was $200,000 for the Town portion.
Bidder Bid Amount
Sierra Nevada Construction, Inc. $ 374,007.00
VSS International $ 385,105.00
Pavement Coatings Co. $ 393,138.05
The bid from Sierra Nevada Construction was the lowest responsible bid.
Construction should start in July/August. With 30 working days, it is expected that construction would be completed by September/October.
The work on Sunny Hills Drive, Santa Cruz Avenue, Santa Barbara Avenue and Salinas Avenue is proposed to be done at night to minimize traffic delays. Work on other streets will require the street to be closed between 8 am and 5 pm. Residents will be 293
Item #: 2.3
notified of the project schedule at least two weeks in advance of the work. Staff will coordinate with property owners and businesses to minimize impacts from the work.
The Town is contributing 25% toward the work on El Cerrito Avenue under the NonTown Maintained Road program, approximately $1,625. The remaining 75% ($4,875) has been collected from the participating residents.
The Town included Brookwood Lane in the Town of Ross, which will reimburse San Anselmo for the work.
FISCAL IMPACT
The lowest responsible bid was 78% above the Engineer’s Estimate. The total budget for the construction phase of the project (construction plus construction management and contingency) is estimated to be $431,312 and will be included in the Town’s 2024/2025 Budget and Work Plan, using funding from the Road Maintenance Fund and Measure J funds. The combined cost for the 2024 Street Resurfacing project and the 2024 Slurry Seal project are less than the total budgeted for the two projects.
Lowest Bid $ 374,007
Town of Ross portion of <$ 12,820>
El Cerrito contribution <$ 4,875>
Total Town amount $ 356,312
Construction Contingency $ 35,000
Construction Management $ 40,000
Total Project Cost $ 431,312
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 maintenance of existing streets, will not create additional automobile lanes and involves negligible or no expansion of use. (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301). None of the exceptions to this Class 1 categorical exemption apply in this instance (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15300.2). Specifically, successive projects of the same type in the same location will not cause significant cumulative impacts, as there are no successive projects planned at this time. There are no unusual circumstances presented by this project and the project will not result in damage to scenic resources within a designated state scenic highway. Finally, the project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource, as no historical resources will be impacted.
As with any paving project, the Town follows our Complete Streets Policy and ensures consistency with the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, which aims to improve the street not just for vehicular traffic, but for pedestrians and bicyclists as well as transit.
The improved roadway surface will maintain rideability for bicyclists, and refreshed striping will improve safety for all users. Enhanced crosswalks will improve pedestrian 294

FROM: Scott Schneider, Department of Public Works
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to award the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder and finds the project exempt from CEQA under 14 California Code Regulations § 15301.
SUMMARY
The Town Council approved the 2024 Street Resurfacing Project at the May 14, 2024 meeting, and authorized staff to bid the project. The project includes paving the following street segments and Pavement Condition Index (PCI):
Base Bid:
Kensington Road from Bolinas Avenue to Austin Avenue (18) Mariposa Avenue from Kensington Road to Richmond Road (10) Woodside Drive from Idlewood Drive to Oak Springs Drive (14) Oak Springs Drive from Woodside Drive to 180 Oak Springs Drive (44) Additive Bid 1:

Los Angeles Blvd from Monterey Avenue South to Town Limit (47)
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Staff advertised the project for construction, with a bid opening on June 18, 2024. Six bids were received that were all determined to be responsive. The Engineer’s Estimate 297
Item #: 2.4
(EE) was $1,200,000 for the Base Bid. The bid documents stated that the project would be awarded to the contractor with the lowest base bid.
As the base bid was significantly lower than the EE, funding is available for either Additive Alternative 1 or 2, but not both. As Additive Alternative 1 (Spring Grove) is significantly more expensive per square yard than Additive Alternative 2 (Monterey Avenue/Terrace), staff recommends including Additive Alternative 2 in the contract award.
Bidder Base Bid Amount
Ghilotti Construction, Inc. $ 756,996
Lucas Paving $ 813,978
Maggiora & Ghilotti, Inc. $ 892,262
Team Ghilotti, Inc. $ 917,917
Argonaut Constructors, Inc. $ 982,075
Ghilotti Bros., Inc. $ 1,014,868
The bid from Ghilotti Construction was the lowest responsible bid.
Construction should start in late July/early August. With 30 working days, it is expected that construction would be completed by the end of September.
Work will be done during daytime working hours, with one lane of traffic in each direction open at all times. There may be some short duration road closures during the grinding and paving operations. Staff will coordinate with property owners and businesses to minimize impacts from the work.
Spring Grove Avenue and Los Angeles Boulevard will be included in future paving projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
The lowest responsible bid was 36% below the Engineer’s Estimate.
The total cost for the Base Bid and Additive Alternative 2 is $987,584. The project includes lowering/raising utility covers that will be reimbursed by the various utility companies ($129,270).
Lowest Base Bid + Add Alt 2 $ 987,584
Utility work <$ 129,270>
Total Town cost $ 858,314
Construction contingency $ 85,000
Construction management $ 20,000
Total project cost $ 963,314
298
Item #: 2.4
The total budget for the construction phase of the project (construction plus construction management and contingency) is estimated to be $963,314 and will be included in the Town’s 2024/2025 Budget and Work Plan, using funding from the Road Maintenance Fund ($345,688), TAM Measure AA funds ($290,658), and SB1 funds ($326,968). The combined cost for the 2024 Street Resurfacing project and the 2024 Slurry Seal project are less than the total budgeted for the two projects.
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 maintenance of existing streets, will not create additional automobile lanes and involves negligible or no expansion of use.
