Mailing address:

Are you a San Anselmo resident: Yes
What school do you attend: The Branson School
Fall 2025 school grade: Sophomore/10th grader
Favorite subject: History
Outside of school hobbies and interests: I am the captain of my competitive club soccer team, I play club lacrosse, and I love to go running. One of my biggest passions is cooking/ baking. I cook often for my family and work at a youth cooking camp in the summer. I am a big reader; it’s one of my favorite things to do, and I read every day. I love the outdoors and spend most of my free weekends biking or hiking.

Wish to apply for: General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) Why do I wish to apply: I am eager to apply for this position because I want to help make a tangible difference in my community. I love the town of San Anselmo, and I wish I could help make more of a positive difference. As a teenager, it can seem like I don’t have a say in what's going on around me, and I feel helpless. I try my best to help my community, but I am not old enough to make any noticeable difference. No matter the size of my impact, I want to start helping make the world a better place. I am also fascinated by the more logistical and governmental aspects of this position. I am eager to 8 take a peek into what town planning looks like and learn from people in my community who are more experienced and knowledgeable than I am. I know getting experience in this professional setting would allow me to grow and gain important skills that I will be able to use in the future.

How could I contribute: I could contribute to this committee by sharing my honest opinions and representing the younger generation and our perspectives. The position of a youth commissioner is vital to a group like this because the younger generation is the future. Knowing and better understanding our viewpoints and the issues we feel are important is key to helping accommodate an entire community. Although I can not speak for every youth in San Anselmo, being the age that I am, not too old, but not too young, gives me a perspective similar to many other young people. I also pride myself on being a friend to all, which helps me better understand a wide range of younger people’s ideas. I could also contribute to the committee by being committed, open to learning new things, and passionate about helping others. Through showing up as myself, someone who is dedicated and respectful, I would be an asset to the committee and someone who works effectively with others. Lastly, I would contribute to the committee by simply being someone who truly wants to be there and wants to help out.

The most important issues it faces: Climate change is one of, if not the most important, issues that the committee faces. Growing up in California, I have felt the devastating effects of climate change firsthand. Missing days of school because the sky was orange and filled with wildfire smoke left me worried and powerless. I want to live in a world that is clean and beautiful. More importantly, I want to be a part of a solution, which is why I think sustainability and climate resilience efforts are some of the most important things the General Plan includes. Aspects like public transportation infrastructure and ensuring access to open space and parks are crucial, as they go hand in hand with tackling climate change and providing a sustainable future. Finally, housing is a significant issue that the committee faces. Making sure that our community has access to equitable and 9 affordable housing is not easy to achieve, but it is something I believe is vital to the General Plan.

18 Please tell us how you think you can contribute to this board, commission, or committee?* I believe that I have four main skills that will contribute to this committee’s goal. The first important skill I have is communication. This committee will require outreach and constant follow up to ensure that real action can be taken. My experience in outreach with the freshman Leadership class and volunteering with the rotary club has taught me how to effectively communicate with any and all people. In addition, I have connections and involvement within the community.

Not only did I go to White Hill and know much of the student government at Archie Williams, I am also part of the student government at Redwood, bridging the two student groups, many of whom reside in San Anselmo. In addition, my participation in the LCAP committee, performance workshop (music), the school board, and many other groups allows me to reach parts of my community otherwise left out of the discussion. I am continuing to grow my participation within the community and am confident that I can continue to bring together citizens of San Anselmo from all walks of life. The third of the main skills I have to contribute to this committee’s goal is responsibility. Not only taking responsibility for my own actions but ensuring that all decisions and actions are followed through on. When I commit to something, I follow through and ensure that it gets done. And lastly, I am a team player. I work well with my peers and have experience working well with others, even (and especially) when we disagree. My experiences with debate and Model UN have taught me how to see both sides of an argument, and engage in thoughtful discussion even when I disagree with someone. This is a crucial skill when making group decisions and working with large groups of people. In addition, my teamwork skills have vastly improved through Leadership. Getting something done, especially on a larger scale, is not an easy task. Dealing with bureaucracy and long processes can make teamwork feel inefficient or difficult. But my experience with these processes have taught me patience with both myself and my colleagues, again a crucial step to enacting real change within a community. These skills are just the beginning of the meaningful presence I feel I could have within this committee and community as a whole.

What do you think are the most important issues this board, committee, or commission faces?* The most important issues this committee faces are outreach and the quickly evolving economic/political climate (not necessarily in that order). First, outreach is extremely important to this committee as it is based in community involvement. This committee must strive to reach all members of the community and incorporate perspectives from all groups in order to have a well-rounded view of town issues. I have seen firsthand how difficult it is, just to get information out to my grade at Redwood. Getting information out to all San Anselmo residents is vital but a process that will take a lot of effort. The second of the most important issues faced by this committee is the changing economic and political climate. As the world goes through a lot of change in such a short time, it is important to understand what the priorities of San Anselmo residents are currently but also what they will be in the future. Circumstances change quickly, and the General Plan must adapt to reflect what will be effective for years to come. This as well will be a challenge, especially when it comes to predicting how to best prepare for future changes, but is another vital part of this committee.

Yes No
List briefly, previous experience serving the public office, and/or civic commissions, boards, or committees:

I haven’t served on a formal board or committee, but I’ve been involved in advocacy for most of my life. I’ve always spoken up against injustice, even as a kid, and I became a parent to a mixed-race black son at 17. I protested in Ferguson in 2014 and again the following year after the murder of Michael Brown, and in San Francisco in 2020 after the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. I work in education and have also worked in disability services and case management. In all of these roles, I’ve seen firsthand how racism and bias affect the care and support people receive. I don’t separate equity work from the rest of my life. It is woven into who I am and how I show up.

Reasons for this appointment:

I’m applying because I care deeply about racial equity and want to be part of creating real change in San Anselmo. This isn’t something new to me. It’s something I’ve lived and cared about for a long time. I bring a perspective shaped by lived experience as a queer, autistic, chronically ill Mexican educator, and as the parent of a mixed-race Black son. I’ve spent years trying to get support in systems that often overlook or dismiss people like us. I’ve seen how racism and bias show up quietly and loudly, in everything from the classroom to healthcare to town leadership. I’m not here to check a box or hold a title. I’m here because I want things to change, and I’m willing to do the work to help make that happen.

What are your qualifications for this appointment?
My qualifications come from a combination of lived experience, community involvement, and professional work. I have supported people at the margins for years in education, in disability services, and in direct care. I work with autistic children and others with disabilities, and I have also done case management for older adults and people with complex needs throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. In these roles, I have had to advocate not just for services but for respect, dignity, and equity. I speak up in meetings, in workspaces, and in everyday conversations, especially when my spirit compels me to. I do not always have the platform, but I have never let that stop me from using my voice when it matters. I may not have formal credentials, but I bring something just as important: real-world experience, deep listening, and a commitment to truth-telling. I show up with my full self, and I am not afraid of discomfort if it means getting to the truth.

You may attach other documentation which you
believe would be helpful to the Council in its
selection process.

Briefly, what do you consider to be the most important, one or two current issues facing this Board/Commission/Committee?
I think it’s essential that the committee continues pushing for racial equity training for staff and leadership, and strengthening its relationship with the schools and wider community. I also think the work around policing and public safety is incredibly important. I haven’t attended police meetings myself, but I care deeply about transparency and accountability.

My sister is a police officer in another county, so I’ve seen both the human side of the job and the real harm that can come from unchecked power. I believe in asking hard questions and pushing for change, while still holding space for conversation and growth.

28 Outlook
COMMENTS: Deadline for Cal Green adoption
From Sue Saunders <[email protected]>
Date Thu 8/21/2025 8:00 AM
To Tarrell Kullaway <[email protected]>; Eileen Burke <[email protected]>; Steve Burdo <[email protected]>; Yoav Schlesinger <[email protected]>; Chantel Walker <[email protected]>; Serge Avila <[email protected]> CAUTION: External Sender
Greetings town council members,
The California legislature adopted AB 130  in July of this year. This law creates, among other things, a deadline of September 30, 2025 to adopt any measures that go beyond the 2025 California Building Code.

This freeze would be in effect until at least 2031. In 2031 the California Energy Commission will begin writing the next set of building codes to go into effect in 2035.

This means  the town will be limited to the 2025 Building Codes for almost a decade if the town council does not act quickly to allow staff the opportunity to go further.

The additional adoption of the 2025 Cal Green Tier One code (additional green measures municipalities can implement) allows staff to have the ability to put in place common sense requirements and discard what it finds unnecessary or burdensome. If they are not adopted by September 30th there is no legally assured path to add them later.

The 2025 Building Codes are good news for climate change mitigation. I am in favor of more housing built as quickly and cheaply as possible, but we want to do this with all the options at our disposal.

The rushed nature of the AB 130 deadline has created uncertainty about what in Cal Green Tier One might be of added value. There are no quick charts comparing the two as of yet. One important item I did notice is that it requires more bike parking in multifamily housing.

San Rafael has created a clear precedent to have it all. On August 16th the  city council unanimously adopted the California 2025 building codes and the 2025 Cal Green Tier One codes.

Additionally it amended the flex compliance remodel reach code to trigger at 500 sq ft. down from 750 sq ft.

They waved the second reading and will hold a public hearing at their next city council meeting on September 2, 2025. I hope you will consider following their lead.

Cory Bytof, San Rafael's Sustainability Program Manager, said during his staff report that the Marin Builders Association has been supportive of green building. This is the ordinance as written that the city passed on August 16th:

ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 12 (BUILDING REGULATIONS) OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL, BY REPEALING TITLE 12 AND AMENDING TITLE 12 THEREOF; ADOPTING THE 2025 EDITION OF THE

CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, THE CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL CODE, THE CALIFORNIA MECHANICAL CODE, THE

CALIFORNIA PLUMBING CODE, THE CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE, THE CALIFORNIA EXISTING BUILDING CODE, 29 THE CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE, THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE, AND THE CALIFORNIA REFERENCED STANDARDS CODE WITH APPENDICES AND AMENDMENTS HEREIN; ADOPTING THE 2024 EDITION

OF THE INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE AND THE INTERNATIONAL POOL AND SPA CODE WITH AMENDMENTS; AMENDING CHAPTER 12.360 SINGLE-FAMILY MODEL REACH CODE – FLEXPATH; HEREIN; AND ADOPTING FINDINGS OF FACT SUPPORTING THE AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE.

I am happy to make myself available to address any questions or concerns you have. It has been mind boggling for so many jurisdictions and I truly believe the town is better off with more options.

As shown above, the Town’s expenditures base overall increased by $0.179M, which is driven by compensation, retirement, outside services – public safety, and debt service:
 Compensation (Salaries & Wages and Benefits) increased by $0.064M compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the 6.0% cost of living adjustment effective July 1, 2025, step adjustments, one-time payment, and health insurance premiums.
 Retirement increased by $0.110M compared to the prior period due to the Town’s CalPERS unfunded liability payment, cost of living, step adjustments, and fully staffed positions.
 Outside Services decreased by $0.068M compared to the previous period due to lower allocated costs for Animal Control Services with the County and Library Marinet Membership, and fewer plan check fees for the month of July.  Outside Services – Public Safety increased by $0.119M compared to the previous fiscal year due to payments for Public Safety JPA’s, Central Marin Police Authority, and Ross Valley Fire Department.
 Debt Service increased by $0.043M compared to the previous fiscal year due to the repayment of the 2021 Pension Obligation Bonds. The bond payments are due in August and February.
 Internal Service Fund Charge decreased by $0.056M compared to the previous period due to decreased payment to the Internal Service Funds for Insurance and vehicle replacement, offset by increases for Building Maintenance and Information Technology.

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 and are immaterial for further discussion and are expected given the Town’s operations.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #:1.5
MEETING DATE: July 22, 2025
AGENDA TITLE: Agreement with Sleepy Hollow Fire Protection District for Contribution Toward Fire Station 20 Renovation
Project
FROM: Dave Donery, Town Manager
Jeff Zuba, Finance & Admin Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council approve and authorize the Town Manager to execute the Contribution Agreement with the Sleepy Hollow Fire Protection District (SHFPD) for $1,500,000 toward the Fire Station 20 Renovation Project.

BACKGROUND
Fire Station 20, located at 150 Butterfield Road and situated over Sleepy Hollow Creek, began construction in 1959. The Town of San Anselmo owns and, together with the Ross Valley Fire Department (RVFD), operates the facility. Station 20 provides fire suppression, emergency medical, and rescue services and is the closest fire station to the unincorporated area of Sleepy Hollow.

The current Fire Station 20 living area has two dormitory-style bedrooms, one dormitory-style bathroom, an entryway office, a kitchen, and a living room. The fire truck apparatus bay is adjacent to the living area, and part of the space is currently used as a workout area. The building is nearly 65 years old and requires significant repair to all exterior materials (windows, siding, and roof) as well as reconfigured interior space to accommodate additional personnel and a diverse workforce.

On October 11, 2023, the RVFD Board of Directors approved increasing staffing from two-person to three-person engine companies effective July 1, 2025, coinciding with the closure of Station 18 in Ross. This change requires modifications to Station 20 to accommodate additional personnel and apparatus, and to extend the facility’s useful life.
83 Item #: 1.5
On March 14, 2023, the Town Council authorized funding for the renovation project, with a total estimated cost of $3,355,000, including construction and additional facility improvements.

On October 22, 2024, the Town Council authorized award of a construction contract to Argo Construction, Inc. as the lowest responsible bidder. The contract was executed in December 2024, and construction commenced in March 2025. Construction progress remains on pace for July 2026 completion.

The SHFPD benefits directly from Station 20’s proximity and has expressed interest in contributing financially to ensure timely project completion and to enhance services for Sleepy Hollow residents.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The new fire station living area will be approximately 2,400 square feet—865 square feet larger than the current living area. The apparatus bay will remain the same size at 1,980 square feet, and the bid alternate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Room will be a 170-square-foot addition to the apparatus bay. The living area will require most of the construction work: lifting the floor and roof, reconfiguring interior space to add an additional bedroom and accessible bathroom, constructing a rear addition to allow for a gym, and enlarging the kitchen, living, and dining spaces. Additional improvements to the apparatus bay include fireproofing the demising wall between the living area and the apparatus bay and constructing the PPE Room. The proposed design also incorporates Wildland Urban Interface (WUI)–compliant exterior materials to safeguard this essential service building.

The proposed Contribution Agreement outlines SHFPD’s commitment to contribute up to $1,500,000 toward the Station 20 renovation project, with payments tied to the achievement of specific construction milestones defined in the agreement.

Key provisions include:

Purpose: Contributions may only be used for the public purpose of constructing the project in accordance with the Project Execution Plan.
“Last Dollar” Use: Town funds will be applied first, with SHFPD funds supplementing only when Town resources are exhausted for specific project costs.

Milestone Payments: Disbursements occur within 30 business days after SHFPD receives a Town-certified Milestone Achievement Notice.

Limitations: Funds cannot be used for unrelated Town purposes, JPA obligations, or the purchase of the planned Type 7 off-road fire truck. 84 Item #: 1.5
Project Management: The Town remains solely responsible for project execution, including cost overruns, permitting, and contractor management.

Type 7 Truck Support: The agreement acknowledges mutual interest in acquiring a Type 7 Truck—to be purchased by the Ross Valley Fire Department—to be housed at Station 20 for off-road and open space emergency response.

Reporting Requirements: The Town must provide SHFPD with periodic project progress reports, including milestone status, expenditures, and any material changes to the project scope or budget.

1 CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
This CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this ____ day of July 2025 (the “Effective Date”) by and between the TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO, a California Municipal Corporation (the "Town") and the SLEEPY HOLLOW FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT, a California Special Service District (the "District", collectively, the “Parties”)

RECITALS
This Agreement is made with reference to the following facts, understandings, and objectives:

A. The Town is a municipal corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California which exercises governmental functions and powers.

B. The District is an autonomous Special District organized and existing under the Fire Protection District Law of the State of California (Cal. Health & Safety Code §§13800 et seq.) responsible for fire protection and emergency services in the unincorporated area of Sleepy Hollow in Marin County.

C. The Ross Valley Fire Department (the “RVFD”) is a California Joint Powers Authority, organized and existing under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act of the State of California (Cal. Gov. Code §§6500 et seq.). The Authority operates the Ross Valley Fire Department pursuant to the Ross Valley Fire Department Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement dated July 1, 2010, as amended (the "JPA Agreement"). Together with the Town of Fairfax and the Town of Ross, the District and the Town are parties to the JPA Agreement (each a "JPA Member", and collectively, the "JPA Members").

D. The Town owns and, together with RVFD, operates a full-service fire station located at 150 Butterfield Road in San Anselmo ("Station 20") providing fire suppression, emergency medical, and rescue services. Station 20 is closest fire station to the unincorporated area of Sleepy Hollow and is approximately one (1) mile away from the District’s jurisdictional border. Station 20 currently includes two drive-through apparatus bays and space for equipment, personnel, and training activities.

E. On October 11, 2023, the RVFD’s Board of Directors unanimously directed an increase in RVFD staffing levels from two-person to three-person engine companies effective July 1, 2025 in conjunction with the scheduled closure of the RVFD fire station located in the Town of Ross, Station 18.

The staffing level increase together with the closure of Station 18 necessitate that certain modifications and improvements be made to Station 20 to accommodate additional personnel and apparatus and to ensure that the useful life of Station 20 is extended for a significant number of years (the “Project” as defined more specifically herein.)
F. On March 14, 2023 the Town Council authorized and directed the expenditure of Town funds for the Project. The total initial cost estimate for the Project as of the Effective Date is $3,498,800, comprised of (1) $3,168,000 for construction costs; (2) $190,000 for the costs of certain additional improvements including a dedicated Personal Protective Equipment Room, an emergency back-up generator, and a rolling gate; and (3) $163,000 for the cost of temporary living facilities for RVFD personnel at Station 20 during the construction of the Project (collectively, the "Initial Cost Estimate").

G. The Town has requested that the District assist the Town in funding the Project by making cash contributions, as defined herein, toward the Project, and the District desires to make said cash contributions pursuant the terms of this Agreement. 87 ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1
ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1
2 H. On October 22, 2024, the Town Council authorized the Town to award a contract to construct and deliver the completed Project. On December 12, 2024, the Town named Argo Construction, Inc. ("Argo") as the winning bidder for the contract to construct the Project (the "General Contract"). In December 2024, the General Contract was executed by the Town and by Argo and work on the Project commenced in March 2025. The District did not participate in the Town's bid selection criteria, scoring of bids, evaluation of bidders' qualifications, or negotiations leading to the General Contract's terms and conditions or its execution. The District is a not party to the General Contract or the Project Contracts, as defined herein, and did not participate in the selection of Argo.

I. The District has the power and authority to enter into and to perform contracts with other public agencies for fire protection services, emergency medical services, or other services for the protection of lives and property when the District's Board of Directors determines that it is in the public interest to do so. (Cal. Health & Safety Code §13861(f); Cal. Public Contract Code §20811.) J. The District finds and declares that this Agreement and the District’s Contributions hereunder to the Project serve a direct and substantial public interest and further the District’s mission to provide fire protection and emergency services to the unincorporated area of Sleepy Hollow by improving fire protection and emergency services in the unincorporated Sleepy Hollow area given the direct and close proximity of Station 20 to the District’s jurisdictional borders, and helping to ensure continued fire protection services for the direct benefit of District residents.

K. The District further finds and declares that this Agreement is in the public interest, appropriate, necessary, convenient, and advisable to encourage the acquisition of a Type 7 Truck by the RVFD, as defined herein, to be housed at Station 20 and serve the off-road, open-space areas surrounding the Sleepy Hollow area and the Town of San Anselmo.

L. The relationship of the Parties for purposes of this Agreement is discrete in nature, i.e., notwithstanding the Parties' status as fellow JPA Members or the public purpose of the Project, the individual interests of each Party may or may not be coextensive with the individual interests of the other Party or with the Parties' overall relation. The Parties therefore intend that by entering into this Agreement, (1) each Party shall obtain benefits for itself individually and not for any other Person (as defined below); (2) each Contribution shall be a singular transaction requiring a specific exchange and a specific time and manner of performance; and (3) each Contribution shall be part of a series of related Transactions (as defined below) entered into with the mutual objective of enabling the timely completion of the Project.

M. The Parties agree that it is desirable that the RVFD is aware of and understands this Contribution Agreement for the improvement of Station 20 between the Town and the District, given RVFD’s direct role in the operation of Station 20, and that the RVFD, therefore, signs this Agreement in acknowledgement and consent.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which collectively shall be considered an integral part of this Agreement, and in consideration of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the District and the Town agree as follows:

Unless and until the Last Dollar of all available Town Funds has been exhausted to discharge such Project Costs, the Town shall not utilize Contributions, it being the intent of the Parties that each Contribution (i) shall be supplemental to Town Funds, and (ii) shall not be utilized, either wholly or in part, unless and until there exists a the difference between what the Person or vendor to whom the Town is indebted has already received from Town Funds and the remaining amount due to such Person for goods or services provided in connection with the Project. Contributions shall be applied only to the last and final amount of the Project Costs that the Town pays in the following order: (i) first, to the discharge of that portion of the Town's then-current obligations under the Project Contracts which are not otherwise available to be paid from immediately available Town Funds; and (ii) second, to the discharge of the remaining then-current Project Costs which are not otherwise available to be paid from immediately available Town Funds. (c) Improper Uses of Contributions. Without the prior written consent of the District, no Contributions may be utilized, either wholly or in part, by the Town for any purpose other than constructing the Project in accordance with the Project Execution Plan. By way of example and not by limitation, Contributions may not be utilized, directly or indirectly, (i) for general Town working capital, business, or operations purposes, (ii) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Town’s debts in the ordinary course of the Town’s business in accordance with the Town's prior practices, (iii) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Town's Percentage Share under the JPA Agreement, (iv) for the settlement of any outstanding Proceeding, or (v) in violation of Applicable Law. For clarity, no 96 ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1

(d) Cap on Contributions. The District has no obligation to any Person to fund, contribute, or disburse to the Town any amount greater than the Aggregate Contribution, and the Town shall not request from the District any funding in excess of the Aggregate Contribution for the Project.

Each Contribution Amount payable to the Town shall be independent of all past or future Contribution Amounts and shall be payable if, and only if, the Milestone corresponding to such Contribution Amount is achieved in accordance with the Project Execution Plan. (e) No Guaranty. The Town does not have the authority to make any financial or funding commitments to any Person for, on behalf of, or binding upon the District. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, creates or is intended to create any obligation of the District to become a signatory to the General Contract, any Project Contract nor to guaranty any financial obligations of the Town under the General Contract or any Project Contract or other agreement.

2.4 Suspension of Contributions; Clawback. For so long as an Event Default pursuant to this Agreement is continuing, the District shall have the right to demand the return of any Contributions previously paid to the Town except to the extent that the Town can provide reasonable assurances that such Contributions were not utilized in violation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the District shall be entitled to modify, postpone, suspend, withhold, or retain payment of, and to decline to remit, any Contribution Amount that the District would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit, or deliver to the Town pursuant to this Agreement, without notice to any Project Personnel (as defined below), sureties, or assignees, and the Town shall not be entitled to payment of any such Contribution Amount (unless otherwise agreed to by the District) so modified or suspended, in the event that the District reasonably believes in its sole reasonable discretion that:
(a) Legal Prohibition. At all times, an Applicable Law, Judgment, or Order prohibits construction of the Project as set forth in the Project Execution Plan; (b) Breach of Obligations. At all times, in each case until such time as the District determines otherwise, if the Town has breached any of its obligations under this Agreement or under the General Contract and/or any Project Contracts including, without limitation, any payment obligation in connection with the General Contract and/or any Project Contract, or if the Town makes a false or fraudulent statement, representation, or warranty while carrying out its obligations under the General Contract, any Project Contract ,or this Agreement, with immediate effect for a reasonable period during which the District investigates such suspected breach;
(c) Misfeasance or Misconduct. While any disciplinary procedure or regulatory investigation is outstanding, in each case until such time as the District determines otherwise, if during any period in which the Town and/or the RVFD is investigating any disciplinary matter involving any Town and/or RVFD personnel serving in an operational role in connection with the Project and/or any counterpart(ies) to any Project Contract(s) including, without limitation, (i) any material act or omission by involving Misfeasance or Malfeasance in the performance of his or her duties to, or material deviation from, any of the policies or directives of the Town or such other entity, as applicable, or (ii) any illegal act by him or her which materially and adversely affects the completion of construction of the Project or the operation of Station 20, or (iii) such other or any felony committed by such personnel, as evidenced by conviction thereof or the suspension of such personnel pending a determination of whether an act of Misfeasance or Misconduct has been committed;

ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1
12 (d) Adverse Effect on Project or Station 20 Operations. At all times, if any activity by the Town, the RVFD, or any of their respective personnel that has or, in the District's reasonable assessment is likely to have, an adverse effect on the construction of the Project in accordance with the Project Execution Plan or on the operation of Station 20, the District will notify the Town as soon as reasonably practical and the Town will collaborate with the District in good faith to remedy the cause of the adverse effect; or
(e) No Liability re: Suspended Contributions. In the event that the District reasonably believes that any of the circumstances described in subsections (a) through (d), above, has occurred, and the District has elected to modify or halt its payment of any Contribution Amount as a result thereof, the District shall not be liable for any impairment of the achievement of any Milestone(s) or the Project Execution Plan to the extent caused by or relating to the Town not receiving, either timely or at all, the payment of any Contribution Amount so modified or halted.

2.5 Termination of Contributions. In the event that the District reasonably and in good faith determines that the Town or any of its personnel has committed an act constituting Malfeasance resulting in loss, damage, or injury to the District or engages in any conduct that induces any Project Personnel that may be the Town counterparty's to any Project Contract to terminate such relationship:
(a) Obligations Extinguished. The District's obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation, payment obligations with respect to any or all Contribution(s), shall be immediately extinguished and this Agreement shall be immediately terminated and the Town shall have no right after such election to receive Contributions under this Agreement; and (b) Return of Contributions. On the date of such termination of this Agreement or at any time prior thereto that any of the Conditions set forth in Section 2.6, below, have not been satisfied or waived by the District, the District may, in its sole and absolute discretion, immediately suspend payment of further Contributions and/or require the Town to relinquish, refund, and return to the District such remaining or prospective Contribution(s) as the District may request, up to and including the amount of the Aggregate Contribution, whether or not such Contribution(s) have been disbursed by the Town to pay any amounts then due and owing under the Project Contracts, together with applicable supporting documentation.

For clarity, the District has and shall retain one hundred percent (100%) of any Contribution Amount returned to, or suspended, or terminated by the District pursuant to this Article II and the District may expend such Contribution Amount as it deems fit in its sole and absolute discretion but in compliance with Applicable Law.

2.6 Conditions to Disbursement of Contributions. The District shall not be obligated to make any Contribution(s) and the Town shall not be entitled to payment of any Contribution(s), in the event that any of the conditions set forth in this Section are not satisfied or waived on or before each respective Contribution Date (the “Condition(s)”).

(b) Budget Adjustments. The Town may, in the ordinary course of constructing the Project, in good faith allocate reasonable amounts of reserve/contingency to cover unanticipated line-item or category overages; but the Town may not make material re-allocations of Approved Budget items (e.g., make a material increase to one line item or category, offset by reduction(s) to other line items or categories) without review by the District if such would adversely affect the timely completion of construction of the Project as set forth in the Project Execution Plan.

The Type 7 truck is a highly specialized, four-wheel drive, off-road fire vehicle customized to be used for firefighting, medical, and emergency response (including evacuation) purposes. Due to its off-road capabilities, the Type 7 truck would provide valuable emergency, firefighting, and medical/evacuation services in the open-space areas surrounding the Sleepy Hollow and San Anselmo communities including, but not limited to, the 680 and Loma Alta Trails and surrounding area, which areas are steep, dirt terrain, inaccessible by traditional vehicles. As such, the Parties agree that the Type 7 Truck based at Station 20 would be for the direct public benefit of the Sleepy Hollow and Town of San Anselmo residents.

As such, the Parties agree that the maintenance of Station 20 at its current location and its current fire-fighting and emergency services capacity (at a minimum) is in the public interest of Sleepy Hollow and San Anselmo residents. 105
ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1
ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1
20 (b) Service Level. The Town agrees to use its best and reasonable efforts to take all actions within its legal authority to maintain Station 20 at its current location and at its current service level (at a minimum), and to refrain from taking any action, other than action required by Applicable Law, to move, relocate, or reduce the service level of Station 20 in any capacity.

The Town has not received any written notice or, to the Town’s Knowledge, other communication from any Person regarding any actual, alleged, possible, or potential violation of, or failure to comply with, any such Applicable Law (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any violation of, or failure to comply with, any Applicable Law that would affect the construction of the Project or the Town's and the RVFD's unencumbered use of Station 20 shall be deemed “material”).

6.3 Indemnification Procedures for Claims
(a) Notice of Claims. A Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI will hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnitee.” A Party obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee hereunder will hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnitor.” An Indemnitee shall inform an Indemnitor of any claim (“Claim”) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Claim arises, it being understood and agreed that the failure to give such notice will not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnitor is actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice.
(b) Defense of Claims. If the Indemnitor has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnitee the Indemnitor’s responsibility for defending such Claim and such Claim is not a class action or criminal matter, nor an Action seeking injunctive relief, then the Indemnitor shall have the right to defend, at its sole cost and expense (with counsel reasonably selected by the Indemnitor and approved by the Indemnitee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), such Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnitor to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitor may not enter into any compromise or settlement unless (i) such compromise or settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee a release from all liability in respect of such Claim; and (ii) the Indemnitee consents to such compromise or settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed unless such compromise or settlement involves (A) any admission of legal wrongdoing by the Indemnitee, (B) any payment by the Indemnitee that is not indemnified hereunder, or (C) the imposition of any equitable relief against the Indemnitee, in which case ((A) – (C)) the Indemnitee may withhold its consent in its sole discretion. If Indemnitee determines in good faith that the defense is not being or ceases to be conducted diligently and 112
ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1
ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1
27 in good faith, then the Indemnitee shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnitor, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ (or earlier if reasonably necessary to appropriately defend the Claim) prior written notice to the Indemnitor of its intent to do so, to undertake the defense of such Claim for the account of the Indemnitor (with counsel reasonably selected by the Indemnitee and approved by the Indemnitor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). If the Indemnitee is defending such Claim, the Indemnitee shall keep the Indemnitor apprised of all material developments with respect to such Claim and promptly provide the Indemnitor with copies of all correspondence and documents exchanged by the Indemnitee and the opposing part(ies) to such litigation. If the Indemnitor has elected to defend such Claim or if the Indemnitor has otherwise acknowledged in writing its responsibility for indemnifying a Claim, then the Indemnitee may not compromise or settle such litigation without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

The Indemnitee may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Claim controlled by the Indemnitor pursuant to this Section and shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall bear such costs and expenses if counsel for the Indemnitor shall have reasonably determined that such counsel may not properly represent both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee. The right to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI shall not be affected by any investigation conducted or any knowledge acquired by a Party or its respective Representatives at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation under this Agreement.

6.4 Non-Third Party Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Claim may be asserted by written notice to the Indemnitor. Such notice shall include the facts constituting the basis for such claim for indemnification, the Sections of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is then based, and an estimate, if possible, of the amount of Damages suffered by the Indemnitee; provided, that the failure to give such notification or any deficiency in such notification will not relieve such Indemnitor from any obligations under this Article VI, except (a) to the extent such failure to give such notification or any deficiency in such notification actually and materially prejudices such Indemnitor, or (b) as provided below. If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnitee within twenty (20) Business Days following its receipt of such notice from the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor objects to the claim received, then such indemnity claim specified by the Indemnitee in such notice shall be deemed accepted by the Indemnitor, in which case, the Indemnitee may pursue its right to indemnification with respect to such indemnity claim under this Article VI in accordance with the terms hereof.

6.5 Exclusivity. Other than in the event of fraud by a Party to this Agreement on the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, this Article VI will provide the exclusive remedy against either Party hereto for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated herein, except nothing in this Agreement will prevent or otherwise limit either Party from seeking or obtaining injunctive or other equitable relief for any breach of any covenant or agreement set forth herein. The Parties agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on the Town’s remedies with respect to this Agreement and the Transaction contemplated herein were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Town hereunder.

ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1
ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1
28 aggregate monetary liability for which the District shall be liable under this Agreement and the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Damages that may be recovered from the District pursuant to this Article IV shall equal the total Contribution Amount actually received by the Town as of the date that the Town becomes aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages that are indemnifiable or recoverable in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, except to the extent actually awarded against an Indemnitee pursuant to a judgment with respect to a Claim, in no event shall any Party have any liability under any provision of this Agreement (including this Article VI) for any punitive, incidental, special, or indirect Damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation, or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any Damages based on any type of multiple; provided, that this shall not limit any equitable remedy available to either Party nor shall it limit any termination right or remedy that a Party has pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement will take commercially reasonable steps, to the extent required by Applicable Law, to mitigate all Damages after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages that are indemnifiable or recoverable in connection with this Agreement. Payments by a Party in respect of any monetary damage and/or monetary loss which is covered by the Indemnitor’s insurance shall be limited to the amount of any monetary liability or monetary damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds received or reasonably expected to be received by the other Party in respect of any such Claim. Such other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies for any monetary Damages and/or monetary losses.

(a) No Partnership or Joint Venture. This Agreement shall not be construed as constituting either Party as partner, joint venture, or fiduciary of the other Party or to create any other form of legal association that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party, or as providing either Party with the right, power, or authority, express or implied, to create any duty or obligation of the other Party. The relationship of the Town and the District under this Agreement is that of independent parties, each acting in its own best interests. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement is not intended to create, and does not create (nor has it created), any partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or other form of legal association or enterprise that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party, either expressly or by implication.

(b) Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Town, having been advised by its counsel, acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the District has no duties in connection with the construction of the Project and that no fiduciary, advisory, or agency relationship between the District, on the one hand, and the Town, on the other, has been created or will be created in respect of any of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether the District has advised or is advising the Town on other matters; (ii) the District shall have no duty or obligation to the Town except as set forth in this Agreement; (iii) Contribution Amounts and other terms of any Contribution disbursed pursuant to this 117

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the District is not controlling or directing, and the District has not controlled or directed, the Town or the Project Personnel with respect to the performance of the work to construct the Project or related activities nor are any of the Project Personnel a contractor of the District with respect to such work or related activities.

9.2 Union Matters. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, creates or is intended to create any obligation on the part of the District to become a signatory to any union or collective bargaining agreement, nor to guaranty any financial obligations of the Town or any Town contractor with respect to any such union. In the event that any union requests that the District provide financial assurances or documents from the District with respect to the construction of the Project, the District and the Town shall cooperatively meet and confer with each other in good faith to resolve such union requests toward the mutual objective of the uninterrupted continuation of construction of the Project.

9.3 Public Announcements. The Town and the District shall, to the fullest extent practicable, consult with one another before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by Applicable Law after consultation with counsel.

ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1
ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1
34 (a) Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any Party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief. (b) Equitable Remedies. The Parties agree that irreparable harm may occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies may not be an adequate remedy for any such harm. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and hereby covenant and agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the covenants, agreements, or obligations set forth in this Agreement, then in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity, the non-breaching Party will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain any breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to enforce compliance with the covenants, agreements, and obligations under this Agreement. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees not to raise, and irrevocably waives, any objections to the availability of such relief that a remedy at law would be adequate and that a bond or other security will be required.

10.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court of California for the County of Marin solely and specifically for the purposes of any Action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

10.5 Dispute Resolution.
(a) Negotiation; Mediation. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a settlement to any controversy, dispute or claim between them arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

Any such controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the termination thereof shall, if not settled by direct negotiation between the Parties, be subject to non-binding mediation under the Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) as in effect on the date of the notice of demand for mediation. Any demand for mediation by either Party shall be made in writing and served upon the other Party and shall set forth with reasonable specificity the basis of the dispute and the relief sought. Any mediation hereunder shall be conducted before an independent mediator mutually selected by the Parties. If the Parties are unable to agree to a mediator within ten (10) days after the receipt of a demand for mediation by either Party, then the mediator will be chosen by alternatively striking from a list of five (5) mediators obtained by the Town from AAA, and the District shall have the first strike. The mediation hearing will occur at a time and place convenient to the Parties in Marin County.
(b) Venue. In the event that any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the termination thereof is not settled through mediation pursuant to Section

10.5(a), above, both the Town and the District agree to appear before and submit exclusively to the jurisdiction of the Marin County Superior Court with respect to such controversy, dispute, or claim. Both the Town and the District also agree to waive, to the fullest possible extent, the defense of an inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction.
(c) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY

LAW, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A

TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS 120
ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1
ITEM 1.5 – ATTACHMENT 1
35 AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. THIS WAIVER

APPLIES TO ANY PROCEEDING, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. NO PARTY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE, BY COUNTERCLAIM OR

OTHERWISE, ANY ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.

10.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries or Other Rights. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall give or shall be construed to confer any legal or equitable rights or remedies to any person other than the Parties and such successors and permitted assigns. There are no intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not enforceable by any other Person, except that each District Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Town with respect to Section 6.1, above. For clarity, no Milestone Achievement Notice or Milestone Payment Determination Date is intended to confer upon any Person or entity the right to enforce any rights or remedies hereunder.

An intended third-party beneficiary may enforce this Agreement as a third-party beneficiary solely with respect to its use of the Station 20. The Town and the District shall use best efforts to prevent and/or halt the modification or termination of the RVFD's rights or obligations in a way that would adversely impact the RVFD's rights to operate Station 20 in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, unless required by law.

10.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business, and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

10.8 Amendment; Extension. This Agreement may be modified, amended, suspended, or terminated, and any terms or conditions may be waived, but only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. At any time, any Party may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such Party contained herein, and/or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or Conditions for the benefit of such Party contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. Without limiting the generality or effect of the preceding sentence, no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision in this Agreement.

10.9 Further Assurances. The Parties shall cooperate reasonably with each other in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement. Each Party agrees, at their own expense, to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out, and perform all of the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction contemplated by it. In addition to specific assurances herein or in the Transaction Agreements, the Parties agree to execute any and all further documents or instruments consistent herewith, and to perform such ministerial and administrative tasks which are not in conflict herewith and which are materially necessary to carry out the expressed purposes of this Agreement.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #:1.6
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2025
AGENDA TITLE: Approval of Notice of Completion for Robson House Exterior Repairs and Repaint
FROM: Marc Matundan, Department of Public Works
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the following actions to Town Council:

1. Approve the Robson House Exterior Repairs and Repaint Project (“Project”) as complete

2. Authorize the Public Works Department to approve the Notice of Completion for the Project

3. Authorize Public Works to release the retention of 5% of funds for the Project.

BACKGROUND
The Robson-Harrington House (“Robson House”), a major part of San Anselmo’s history, was constructed in 1906 and acts as a public facility for the Recreation Department. As a part of ongoing efforts to maintain public facilities in San Anselmo, the Public Works Department performed exterior repairs and a full repaint of the exterior, addressing critical visual and maintenance issues. The exterior repaint was made to closely match the building’s original paint scheme. The Project was performed from midJune to late July and is now finished.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The remaining retained payment that needs to be released by the Public Works Department to the Contractor is $4,027.50. The total cost of the project is $125,000

FISCAL IMPACT
The combined engineers’ estimate, with contingency, was initially $165,935, resulting in $40,000 saved from the project after the Notice of Completion is signed.

The project had no significant impact on the Robson House’s daily operations during the summer.
125
Item #: 1.6

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
This item is consistent with the San Anselmo Safety Element Policy Framework S-1.5, which mandates the maintenance of public buildings to ensure their resilience in the event of natural disasters.

CEQA CONSISTENCY
The Town finds this project to be categorically exempt from the requirement to prepare environmental documents under the CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, as it involves the maintenance and minor alteration of an existing facility with negligible or no expansion of use.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #:1.7
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2025
AGENDA TITLE: Publicly Available Pay Schedule
FROM: Jeff Zuba, Finance & Admin Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council consider approving the attached resolution adopting a Publicly Available Pay Schedule in accordance with California Public Employees Retirement Systems (CalPERS) regulations.

BACKGROUND
In 2011, CalPERS adopted regulations setting forth the required elements necessary to meet the definition of a publicly available pay schedule. The required elements are as follows:
(1) Has been duly approved and adopted by the employer's governing body in accordance with the requirements of applicable public meetings laws; (2) Identifies the position title for every employee position; (3) Shows the pay rate for each identified position, which may be stated as a single amount or as multiple amounts within a range;
(4) Indicates the time base, including, but not limited to, whether the time base is hourly, daily, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or annually; (5) Is posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible and available for public review from the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer's internet website;
(6) Indicates an effective date and date of any revisions; (7) Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years; and
(8) Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the pay rate.

The information in the attached salary schedule (exhibit A) is currently available in the Adopted Budget, the SEIU contract, and various Town Resolutions. However, CalPERS regulations require that all information be included in one document. 140
Item #: 1.7

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

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Council’s discussion and acceptance of this item is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act, because it does not involve an activity which has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21065).

TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 1.8
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2025
AGENDA TITLE: Response to Marin County Civil Grand Jury Report:

The Worrisome Future of Marin HousingNIMBY Resistance Takes a Backseat to Economic Reality
FROM: Heidi Scoble, Community Development Director
RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign and submit the Town of San Anselmo’s formal response to the Marin County Civil Grand Jury report entitled “The Worrisome Future of Marin Housing-NIMBY Resistance Takes a Backseat to Economic Reality” as required under California Penal Code Section 933(c).

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On June 24, 2025, the Marin County Civil Grand Jury released a report titled “The Worrisome Future of Marin Housing – NIMBY Resistance Takes a Backseat to Economic Reality” (Attachment 1). The report reviews the progress of Marin jurisdictions in meeting state housing goals and includes findings and recommendations related to community engagement, streamlined permitting, site availability, and the influence of market conditions.

Under state law, cities and towns must respond to each Grand Jury finding and recommendation within 90 days. The proposed response represents the Town of San Anselmo’s formal reply to those findings and recommendations specific to the Town (Attachment 2).

The Grand Jury issued nine findings and six recommendations. The Town partially disagrees with seven findings (F1-F5, F-8, and F-9) and wholly disagrees with two findings (F6 and F7). Of the six recommendations, the Town has already implemented four (R3–R6) and will not implement two (R1 and R2), as they are not warranted or reasonable given existing reporting practices and staff capacity.

The Town’s responses underscore that its legal responsibility is to plan for housing through zoning, policies, and supportive programs, whereas the actual production of housing depends on private market forces such as financing, developer interest, and construction costs, which are beyond the Town’s control. 145
Item #: 1.8
The response also affirms that Regional Housing Needs Allocation represents a planning requirement, not a construction mandate, and highlights the Town’s full compliance with Housing Element law, including certification of its 6th Cycle Housing Element by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Additionally, as of July 2025, the Town has completed 62.7% of its Housing Element implementation actions, maintains a public-facing digital dashboard, and offers ministerial approval pathways for both Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and multifamily housing projects.

For information on current and past certified Housing Elements and the Town’s compliance efforts, visit: Housing Element Implementation | San Anselmo, CA - Official Website.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with submitting the response.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
While the Grand Jury response itself is not subject to General Plan consistency review, the Town’s ongoing implementation of its certified Housing Element, a required component of the General Plan, reflects the Town’s continued commitment to meeting state housing obligations and advancing long-range planning goals.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Council’s consideration and approval of this item is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act, because it does not involve an activity which has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21065).

Although the response to the Grand Jury’s housing report is not directly related to the Town’s Climate Action Plan, any new housing developed in San Anselmo must comply with the Climate Action Plan requirements. This includes, but is not limited to, meeting standards for green building, electrification, waste reduction, and other policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Report Findings and Recommendations “The Worrisome Future of Marin Housing” (June 24, 2025) __________________________________________________________________________ County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Findings and Recommendations Page 2 of 8 Agenda Item # 1.8- Attachment 1

RESPONSE TO GRAND JURY FINDINGS
F1. Because the California Department of Housing and Community Development provided the County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns with unrealistic housing goals for the 2023-2030 cycle, the County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns will not achieve their current cycle Housing Element goals.

Response: Partially Disagree
The Town of San Anselmo cannot speak on behalf of the County of Marin or the other ten Marin cities and towns; however, with respect to San Anselmo, the assertion is not accurate.

Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65580, the purpose of a Housing Element is for local governments to plan for and facilitate the development of housing through appropriate land use policies and zoning. The Housing Element is a planning document, not a mandate to build housing.

Specifically, state law requires that a Housing Element:
• Identifies and plans for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community; • Demonstrates adequate zoned capacity to accommodate the jurisdiction’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA);
• Includes policies, programs, and actions that remove barriers and create opportunities for housing development; and
• Complies with the requirements set forth in Government Code Sections 65580–65589.11.

While the RHNA numbers assigned to the Town of San Anselmo are unprecedented, and market forces such as interest rates, construction costs, and labor shortages pose significant challenges to housing production, it is important to underscore that the Housing Element’s core purpose is to plan for housing and not to guarantee its construction.

The Town’s Housing Element meets state requirements and fulfills its intended role by identifying housing needs, providing adequate zoning, and implementing policies that support housing development opportunities.

The Town offers this perspective to emphasize the difference between planning for housing, which is the Town’s responsibility, and the actual construction of housing, which is primarily influenced by the private market and other external factors.

F2. The ability of the County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns to comply with the current cycle California Regional Housing Needs Allocation housing goals is significantly impacted by the lack of economic returns associated with that development and, therefore, inhibits the construction of new housing in Marin County.

Response: Partially Disagree
The Town of San Anselmo cannot speak on behalf of the County of Marin or the other ten Marin cities and towns; however, with respect to San Anselmo, the assertion is not accurate.

While market factors, such as construction costs, interest rates, labor availability, and land values undeniably influence the pace and feasibility of housing development, the Town of San Anselmo respectfully disagrees with the finding as stated.
148
County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Report Findings and Recommendations “The Worrisome Future of Marin Housing” (June 24, 2025) __________________________________________________________________________ County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Findings and Recommendations Page 3 of 8 Agenda Item # 1.8- Attachment 1
The RHNA is a planning requirement, not a production mandate. Jurisdictions are evaluated based on their efforts to plan for housing by identifying needs, providing adequate zoning, and implementing supportive policies and not by the number of units ultimately built. This framework is established in California Government Code Sections 65580–65589.11.

The Housing Element is designed to facilitate development opportunities through land use policy, not to ensure economic outcomes or manage market dynamics. San Anselmo’s certified Housing Element fulfills these responsibilities by identifying suitable sites, adopting pro-housing policies, and streamlining permit processes.

Actual housing production is influenced by factors largely outside a jurisdiction’s control, including financing conditions, developer interest, and construction costs. While economic viability is critical for development, it is not a valid benchmark for RHNA compliance.

Therefore, the Town respectfully disagrees with the framing of the finding, which conflates planning obligations with market-driven production, two related but distinct aspects of state housing law.

F3. Under current state law, the failure of the County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns to make adequate progress in achieving their California Regional Housing Needs Allocation goals could expose these jurisdictions to the potential of litigation, loss of permitting authority, financial penalties, court receivership, and streamlined ministerial approval processes which could substantially impact the ability of local housing jurisdictions to control the development of housing.

Response: Partially Disagree
The Town of San Anselmo acknowledges that jurisdictions out of compliance with state housing laws, such as the Housing Element Law, Housing Accountability Act, and SB 35, may face consequences including litigation, financial penalties, streamlined approvals for qualifying projects, and reduced local control.

However, it is important to clarify that such enforcement actions are primarily triggered by failure to adopt and implement a compliant Housing Element, not by the pace of actual housing production, which is largely driven by private market forces beyond the Town’s control.

San Anselmo has adopted a state-certified Housing Element for the current planning cycle and is actively implementing its programs and policies. As of now, the Town has completed 62.7% of the 118 implementation actions, as documented on its Housing Element Implementation dashboard and Housing Element Action Tracker.

By continuing to meet statutory obligations, such as zoning for adequate housing, addressing governmental constraints, and promoting fair housing, the Town significantly reduces the risk of state enforcement and demonstrates its commitment to meeting state housing requirements.

F4. The cost of housing in Marin County is unaffordable for most current and potential Marin County public-sector workers, which reduces the ability of the public-sector employers to attract and retain employees.

Response: Agree
The Town of San Anselmo agrees that the high cost of housing in Marin County presents a significant challenge for public-sector workers, including teachers, first responders, and municipal staff; many of whom are unable to afford to live in the communities they serve. This affordability 149
County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Report Findings and Recommendations “The Worrisome Future of Marin Housing” (June 24, 2025) __________________________________________________________________________ County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Findings and Recommendations Page 4 of 8 Agenda Item # 1.8- Attachment 1
gap can hinder the ability of local governments and public agencies to attract and retain qualified employees, ultimately affecting the delivery of public services.

San Anselmo is committed to addressing this issue through its certified Housing Element, which includes policies and programs to support a range of housing options, including affordable and workforce housing. The Town will also continue to pursue partnerships with regional agencies, nonprofits, and the private sector to improve housing access for public-sector and essential workers.

F5. The County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns do not consistently inform the public on how applicable state law is limiting or eliminating the discretion of the local decision makers to modify or decline housing projects, and therefore, the public often does not understand the range of options available to local housing decision makers.

Response: Partially Disagree
The Town of San Anselmo cannot speak on behalf of the County of Marin or the other ten Marin cities and towns; however, with respect to San Anselmo, the assertion is not accurate.

The Town actively informs the public about how state housing laws affect local land use authority, including the ways in which legislation such as the Housing Accountability Act, SB 35, SB 9, SB 450, and the Density Bonus Law limit local discretion on certain housing projects.

To promote transparency and public understanding, the Town has taken several proactive steps, including:
• Zoning Code Amendments to align with new state housing laws, which are discussed and adopted in noticed public hearings before the Planning Commission and Town Council. • Regular updates to the Town’s website, including the Housing Element page, where the public can access summaries of relevant state laws, housing programs, and project information. • Use of clear, easy-to-understand infographics and visual aids to explain complex housing policies, approval processes, and the differences between ministerial and discretionary review.
• Public presentations and staff reports that routinely describe how state mandates influence project review and limit the Town’s ability to modify or deny qualifying housing proposals. • Ongoing community engagement, including workshops, newsletters, and FAQs, to help residents understand both the opportunities and limitations within the current regulatory landscape.

While state housing law continues to evolve and can be challenging to communicate in detail, the Town of San Anselmo has been and continues to be committed to maintaining open and accessible public communication and will continue to refine and expand its outreach efforts accordingly.

F6. The County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns are not consistently providing developers and the public with detailed reconciliation of project level public accounting of the planning fees, expenses, and time expectations, and therefore, housing developers are not clear if their housing applications are billed on a cost-neutral basis as required by state law.

Response: Disagree
150
County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Report Findings and Recommendations “The Worrisome Future of Marin Housing” (June 24, 2025) __________________________________________________________________________ County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Findings and Recommendations Page 5 of 8 Agenda Item # 1.8- Attachment 1
The Town of San Anselmo cannot speak on behalf of the County of Marin or the other ten Marin cities and towns; however, with respect to San Anselmo, the assertion is not accurate.

Government Code Section 65940.1 requires cities and counties to make publicly available a current list of all application procedures, fees, and requirements for zoning, subdivisions, and other development permits. The Town of San Anselmo, along with the other 10 cities and towns in Marin County and the County of Marin, complies with this requirement. In addition, at the end of the review process for both planning applications and building permits, the Town provides a final invoice that itemizes all associated project costs.

F7. The County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns are not consistently and proactively engaging the housing development community on the opportunities available in their communities to build new housing, and, therefore, housing developers may not be aware of the opportunities available to contribute to local housing development.

Response: Disagree
The Marin Planners Housing Working Group, which includes representatives from the County and all 11 Marin cities and towns and is staffed by the County, has hosted numerous forums with developers to gather input and share information. Examples include:
• April 7, 2022 – Countywide Developer Forum to inform the Housing Elements of the cities, towns, and County.
• April 17, 2025 – Infill Builders Developer Forum, a countywide event moderated by the Infill Builders Foundation.

Additionally, the San Anselmo Planning Department regularly engages with local developers and offers free pre-application meetings to discuss housing projects.

F8. Accessory Dwelling Units are an element to the success of each jurisdiction's Housing Element for the County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns, yet some jurisdictions fail to provide a ministerial path to Accessory Dwelling Unit construction.

Response: Partially Disagree
The Town of San Anselmo cannot speak on behalf of the County of Marin or the other ten Marin cities and towns; however, with respect to San Anselmo, Town disagrees with this finding as it does not accurately represent the Town’s approach to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs). San Anselmo’s ADU/JADU regulations are fully updated to comply with current State law. The Town offers a clear ministerial approval process for ADU/JADU projects, allowing applicants to proceed without discretionary review when they meet established standards. Additionally, the Town maintains a dedicated webpage that provides clear information demonstrating the ministerial permitting process for ADUs and JADUs.

By maintaining streamlined, ministerial policies and regulations, San Anselmo supports the development of ADUs and JADUs as a key component of its Housing Element strategy, in alignment with state housing policies. This approach expands affordable housing options and helps the Town meet its RHNA.

F9. Multifamily housing is the most important element to fulfilling each jurisdiction’s Housing Element for the County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns, yet some jurisdictions fail to provide a ministerial path to multifamily construction.

Response: Partially Disagree
151
County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Report Findings and Recommendations “The Worrisome Future of Marin Housing” (June 24, 2025) __________________________________________________________________________ County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Findings and Recommendations Page 6 of 8 Agenda Item # 1.8- Attachment 1
The Town of San Anselmo cannot speak on behalf of the County of Marin or the other ten Marin cities and towns; however, with respect to San Anselmo, the Town disagrees with this finding, as it does not accurately reflect the Town’s current policies and implementation of state-required ministerial pathways for multifamily housing.

San Anselmo has incorporated several by-right provisions and complies with state housing laws, including:
• SB 35, which allows streamlined, ministerial approval of qualifying infill multifamily projects; • Density Bonus Law, which provides ministerial concessions and incentives when affordability criteria are met;
• The Town’s certified Housing Element, which identifies by-right multifamily housing sites and commits to expanded ministerial processes;
• Objective Design and Development Standards (ODDS) to ensure clear, measurable criteria for multifamily project review without discretionary oversight; • Updated ADU/JADU regulations, which provide a fully ministerial process, including for ADUs on multifamily properties; and
• Implementation of additional state laws such as SB 9, SB 450, and SB 684, which further expand by-right housing opportunities.

These measures demonstrate the Town’s commitment to providing ministerial approval pathways for multifamily housing, consistent with both state law and Housing Element goals. This approach helps remove barriers to housing production while maintaining transparency and predictability in the review process.

RESPONSE TO GRAND JURY RECOMMENDATIONS
The Marin County Civil Grand Jury recommends the following:

R1. By January 1, 2026, the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the City and Town Councils for the 11 Marin cities and towns should direct their housing planning officials to provide detailed quarterly updates to the community on the progress in executing their own specific Housing Element.

This recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or reasonable.

Under State Housing Element law, jurisdictions must submit Annual Progress Reports (APRs) detailing housing production and implementation of Housing Element programs. This includes:
• Planning entitlements
• Building permits
• Certificates of occupancy
• Status of programs and policies
Preparing these reports is resource-intensive and already requires significant staff time, diverting attention from application processing and developer support. APRs provide the most accurate and comprehensive measure of progress. Quarterly reporting is unnecessary and would not offer additional value to the public.

The Town also maintains a digital dashboard, updated quarterly, to provide ongoing visibility into Housing Element progress.
152
County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Report Findings and Recommendations “The Worrisome Future of Marin Housing” (June 24, 2025) __________________________________________________________________________ County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Findings and Recommendations Page 7 of 8 Agenda Item # 1.8- Attachment 1
R2. By January 1, 2026, the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the City and Town Councils for the 11 Marin cities and towns should direct their housing planning officials to engage with the public on a quarterly basis on how State housing laws constrain the jurisdiction's ability to approve or modify a housing project.

This recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or reasonable.

The Town of San Anselmo agrees that public education on state housing laws is important and remains committed to transparency and ongoing community outreach. However, holding quarterly meetings solely focused on this topic is not the most effective use of staff resources.

Instead, the Town communicates the impacts of state housing mandates through existing public forums such as Planning Commission and Town Council meetings, project reviews, and community workshops. The Town also provides accessible online resources, including a dedicated Planning Department webpage, Housing Element webpage, and a digital dashboard that offer up-to-date information on housing laws and local implementation.

This integrated approach keeps the public informed without requiring a separate quarterly engagement schedule.

R3. By January 1, 2026, the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the City and Town Councils for the 11 Marin cities and towns should direct their housing planning officials to proactively engage with potential developers to inform them of opportunities in their housing elements to support addressing the housing needs within Marin County.

This recommendation has been implemented.

This recommendation is already being implemented, as outlined in the response to Finding 7. The County and the cities and towns of Marin will continue to engage with developers both individually and through collaborative efforts under future Housing Working Group initiatives.

R4. By January 1, 2026, the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the City and Town Councils for the 11 Marin cities and towns should direct their housing planning officials to publish and regularly update a public accounting of the fees charged and expenses associated with each development project submitted to the jurisdiction’s planning and building activities.

This recommendation has been implemented.

This recommendation is already being implemented. As required by Government Code Section 65940.1, the Town of San Anselmo publishes and regularly updates a comprehensive fee schedule on its website. In addition, staff generate a cost accounting summary for each project, providing a detailed record of all fees charged throughout the planning and building process.

R5. By January 1, 2026, the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the City and Town Councils for the 11 Marin cities and towns should direct their housing planning officials to ensure their housing laws provide a ministerial path for the approval of Accessory Dwelling Units.

This recommendation has been implemented.

The Town of San Anselmo has already implemented this recommendation. State law requires a ministerial path for the approval of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), except in limited cases explicitly defined in statute, and the Town’s ADU and Junior ADU regulations are fully compliant 153
County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Report Findings and Recommendations “The Worrisome Future of Marin Housing” (June 24, 2025) __________________________________________________________________________ County of Marin Response to Grand Jury Findings and Recommendations Page 8 of 8 Agenda Item # 1.8- Attachment 1
with these requirements. San Anselmo’s permitting process is clearly defined, objective, and does not involve discretionary review for qualifying ADUs. Additionally, the Town participates in the ADUMarin program, which offers technical assistance and helps applicants navigate the ADU review and permitting process.

R6. By January 1, 2026, the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the City and Town Councils for the 11 Marin cities and towns should direct their housing planning officials to ensure that local housing laws provide a ministerial path for the approval of multifamily housing in compliance with State housing law.

This recommendation has been implemented.

The Town of San Anselmo has already addressed this recommendation. The requirement for a ministerial path for multifamily housing approval is embedded in the Town’s certified Housing Element. Additionally, the zoning ordinance has been updated and continues to be updated to ensure compliance with State housing law and to facilitate streamlined, objective review processes for multifamily developments.

2024-2025 Marin County Civil Grand Jury
The Worrisome Future of Marin Housing
NIMBY Resistance Takes a Backseat to Economic Reality
June 24, 2025

SUMMARY
California is an expensive place to live, and Marin County (Marin) has the third-highest median home price among all California counties.1In 2023, four in ten Californians considered moving out of California due to the high cost of living.2 Housing is by far the largest expense for most families.3 The 2024-25 Marin County Civil Grand Jury (Grand Jury) investigated the progress Marin’s housing jurisdictions (Marin’s cities, towns, and the County of Marin (County)) are making to ease the housing crunch by supporting the development of new housing as required by the California Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) program.4 Building more housing (even market-rate housing) has been shown to ease housing costs at all income levels.5 The Grand Jury found that while most Marin jurisdictions are making good faith efforts to execute their housing plans, most, if not all, Marin housing jurisdictions will fail to achieve the statemandated new housing goals for the current planning cycle.

The Grand Jury determined through interviews that despite the changes in state law since 2017, designed to encourage more housing, the current housing cycle goal requiring the issuance of 14,405 building permits across the 12 Marin housing jurisdictions is unrealistic and is unlikely to be achieved. In the current environment, the availability of housing expertise, building sites, and the cost of financing, building materials, and construction labor do not provide developers a reasonable economic return to build housing. The lack of a financial incentive to build more housing significantly impacts new housing production.

The Grand Jury discussion and recommendations that follow to support new housing production are organized under the following topics:
● Housing affordability impact on Marin’s workforce
● The community’s role in housing development
● Streamlined planning and permitting for multifamily and ADU housing ● Increased investment in multifamily affordable housing ● Improved site availability to support new housing

The Worrisome Future of Marin Housing
Marin County Civil Grand Jury Page 2 of 21
There are significant consequences if Marin’s housing jurisdictions fail to meet the current cycle goal. Under State law, failure to make adequate progress in achieving their mandated housing goals exposes jurisdictions to lawsuits, penalties, loss of permitting authority, and approval processes, all of which could substantially impact future housing.6 The Grand Jury recommendations focus on improving citizen engagement and maximizing multifamily and Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) development to increase the odds of achieving Marin's housing goals.

BACKGROUND
The Grand Jury determined through interviews that Marin has a housing challenge. Marin residents believe that housing and homelessness are the two biggest priorities in the County.7 The Marin County Board of Supervisors (BOS) deems improving the supply of affordable housing and permanent supportive housing as the most important priority for the County.8 Interviews with numerous local leaders indicate that housing substantially impacts Marin’s ability to attract and retain private and public-sector employers and their workforce.

The Housing Cycles and the General Plan
Since 1969, California has required every local municipality (towns, cities, and counties) to create a housing plan (called a “Housing Element”) that describes how the municipality or housing jurisdiction plans to address its existing and future housing needs and support a variety of housing types for different income levels. Each eight-year period is referred to as a “cycle.” The 5th cycle for Northern California counties began on January 31, 2015, and ended on January 31, 2023. The 6th cycle began on February 1, 2023, and ends on January 31, 2031.9 The Housing Element process requires housing jurisdictions to assess available land for residential development, considering factors that might constrain housing production, such as zoning laws, environmental regulations, and market conditions. The Housing Element process also requires housing jurisdictions to enact policies and programs that prevent discrimination and foster inclusive communities, including those that ensure housing is accessible to all, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or economic status. Public participation is an important component of the development of the Housing Element process because it allows community members to contribute input and feedback, which helps to shape policies that reflect local needs and priorities. As each cycle progresses, jurisdictions are required to demonstrate progress 6 Association of Bay Area Governments, “Consequences of Non-Compliance with Housing Laws,” June 2021, https://abag.ca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2021-06/Consequences%20of%20NonCompliance%20with%20Housing%20Laws.pdf, (accessed 5/14/25). 7 Richard Halstead, “Marin Survey Outlines Residents’ Top Priorities, with Housing in Lead,” Marin Independent Journal, November 12, 2023, https://www.marinij.com/2023/11/12/marin-survey-outlines-residents-top-prioritieswith-housing-in-lead, /.

toward achieving these goals. Lack of progress creates the potential for legal actions by the state to increase accountability.10
The 5th Housing Cycle Goals and Results
During the 5th housing cycle, the California legislature recognized that the pace of housing construction was not rebounding from the 2008-2010 financial crisis, which devastated the development of new housing in California.11 The lawmakers also recognized housing development was not keeping pace with new household formation driven by growth in health care, information technology, and other areas of the California economy.12 The deficit between the housing required and the housing available increased housing prices, making California the second most expensive housing market.13
During the 5th cycle, nine of 12 Marin housing jurisdictions met their jurisdiction-level housing goals. The three municipalities that failed to achieve their jurisdiction-level goal were: Tiburon (36 percent of the goal), Belvedere (63 percent of the goal), and San Rafael (55 percent of the goal). In addition, San Anselmo (88 percent of goal), Sausalito (88 percent of goal) met their overall jurisdiction 5th cycle goals, but failed to achieve their very low-income housing goals.14 Figure 1 shows how all Marin housing jurisdictions performed compared to the original 5th cycle goal.15 In total, Marin’s 12 housing jurisdictions achieved their overall 5th cycle goal of 2,298 by permitting 2,605 housing units.

The 6th Housing Cycle Goals and Results to Date
In response to the continued housing deficit, in the 6th cycle, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) significantly increased the RHNA (California Government Code section 65580, et seq.) housing goals for the 539 housing jurisdictions in California.16 Figure 1 shows how, in the 6th cycle, Marin jurisdictions are required to permit 14,405 units for an increase of 627 percent compared to the 5th cycle. The substantial increase in the housing goal for Marin jurisdictions was based on an evaluation of 5th cycle results, population and household growth, employment growth, and other factors, and was supported by 10 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, “Advancing Fair Housing at the State Level, page 4, https://www.hcd.ca.gov/sites/default/files/docs/hud-exchange-advancing-fairhousing-2024.pdf, (accessed 5/14/25). 11 ft Editorial Staff, “California Residential Construction Starts”, firsttuesday Journal, April 14, 2025, https://journal.firsttuesday.us/the-rising-trend-in-california-constructionstarts/17939/#:~:text=56%2C700%20SFR%20starts%20took%20place,was%202011%20with%2022%2C000%20st arts, (accessed 5/14/25).

To help housing jurisdictions achieve the aggressive 6th cycle goals, HCD created an online portal to track the compliance of all jurisdictions with RHNA goals.18 The portal organizes housing development into four processes:

1. Submitted — Housing application submitted

2. Entitled — All application documents are complete and approved

3. Permitted — All construction permits are approved

4. Completed — Property is ready for occupancy
A housing development is deemed entitled (Step 2) once the planning process is completed.

Housing jurisdictions gain an RHNA credit once a housing development is permitted (Step 3).

HCD also categorizes housing based on the median income of households in the housing jurisdiction.19 The RHNA goals are evenly split between lower income (0-80 percent of the 18 “Annual Progress Reports - Data Dashboard and Downloads,” slide 2, California Department of Housing and Community Development, https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-community-development/housing-elementimplementation-and-apr-dashboard (accessed 5/14/25). 19 “Income Limits,” California Department of Housing and Community Development, https://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-and-funding/incomeAgenda Item # 1.8- Attachment 2 159

jurisdiction’s median income) and moderate and above-moderate income (over 80 percent of the jurisdiction’s median income).20
The information published by HCD shows that as of January 31, 2024 (the date of the latest available information), Marin lags far behind its 6th cycle goals (see Figure 3). Marin housing jurisdictions need to permit an average of 1,800 housing units per year to achieve the 14,400 unit goal over the entire 6th cycle. However, in the first year of the 6th cycle (2023), all Marin housing jurisdictions combined permitted only 462 units (see column labeled “Permitted”) or only 25 percent of the annual 1,800 unit requirement. Anecdotal information for 2024 indicates permit activity consistent with 2023.21

Despite the general population's agreement that California has a housing crisis,22 a major impediment to new housing has historically been community resistance.23 The Grand Jury determined through interviews that in the past, the “Not In My Backyard” (NIMBY) resistance from members of the Marin community has been formidable. Among other tactics, community members may oppose new housing development in Marin by citing the California Environmental limits#:~:text=Extremely%20low%20income%3A%2015%2D30,80%25%20to%20120%25%20of%20AMI, (accessed 5/14/25).

Quality Act (CEQA).24 Although not all CEQA challenges are inappropriate, the ability of community members to create obstacles has resulted in project delays, time-consuming litigation, and often project cancellation. Litigation over planning decisions and project approvals has both delayed the process and, importantly, raised the price of potential development to the point where the development was no longer economically viable.25 Recognizing these impediments, the California Legislature passed over 100 laws26 from 2017 to 2024 designed to reduce the ability of community members to block new housing and increase the ability of the communities to permit new housing construction. These new laws often provide ministerial processes to encourage and streamline new housing development. These laws restrict housing jurisdictions from delaying or denying projects based on subjective criteria such as community character, color, and/or design style. The new laws allow developers to bypass such legacy housing restrictions, and some laws encourage local jurisdictions to develop a set of objective standards for developers to follow.

In interviews with local housing leaders, they praised some of these new laws and also commented that they introduced more complexity into the development process. Through its investigation, the Grand Jury learned that housing leaders struggle to understand the impact of these new laws and new ministerial processes that support many different decision-making protocols; and, every Marin jurisdiction has adopted its own ministerial processes, but has struggled to align these local codes to the complex new state laws.

The Grand Jury determined through interviews that builders of new housing in Marin face significant cost challenges that make building housing financially unattractive. High interest rates, construction and labor costs, complex state and local building rules and codes, and a lack of available land provide for-profit housing developers with inadequate incentive compared to other investment opportunities. Affordable housing developers access different sources of financing, but face the same cost pressures that impact market-rate housing developers, and they also face restrictions on rental rates that further reduce the financial incentives for the development.

APPROACH
In order to prepare findings and recommendations to address the complex problem of housing in Marin, the Grand Jury pursued the following:
● Conducted research into the physical and economic conditions and demographics of Marin, including population, economic and financial data regarding land use policies/constraints, and housing supply and demand
● Reviewed historical construction data of new housing in Marin ● Interviewed Marin town and city planning directors
● Interviewed Marin County Community Development Agency leadership ● Interviewed local housing developers and attorneys who support Marin housing development
● Researched issues and interviewed leaders of housing advocacy organizations ● Researched recent state laws intended to increase the quantity of housing in California ● Conducted a detailed review of the current cycle of the Marin RHNA housing requirements and evaluated each Marin jurisdiction’s progress toward reaching the goals

DISCUSSION
Housing Affordability Impact on Marin’s Workforce
Housing affordability is a key challenge for many current Marin households and people who would like to live and work in Marin. Households are considered cost-burdened when they spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing.27 A majority of Marin renters (58 percent) are cost-burdened, and 38 percent of Marin homeowners spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing.28
As Figure 4 illustrates, decreased new housing construction, which contributed to increased housing prices, was decades in the making. The building of single-family residences in Marin peaked in the early 1970s and bottomed out by 2010. (See the thin red line in Figure 4.) By the end of the 1990s, easy-to-build-upon flat parcels of land were hard to find, and Marin’s housing jurisdictions created local ordinances limiting hillside construction that supported housing during earlier periods.29
Construction of multifamily housing units followed a similar trend (See the light blue line in Figure 4). Construction peaked in the 1970s, but dropped precipitously starting in the 1980s and has not recovered. The solid red line in Figure 4 represents the 6th cycle yearly goal, which shows Marin would need a very large increase in housing construction to reach its RHNA goals. 27 Sara Kimberlin, “California’s Housing Affordability Crisis Hits Renters and Households With the Lowest Incomes the Hardest, page 1, California Budget & Policy Center, April 2019, https://calbudgetcenter.org/app/uploads/2019/04/Report_California-Housing-Affordability-Crisis-Hits-Renters-andHouseholds-With-the-Lowest-Incomes-the-Hardest_04.2019.pdf, (accessed 5/14/25). 28 County of Marin, “Housing Affordability in Marin County,” https://data.marincounty.org/stories/s/HousingAffordability-in-Marin/eixh-kvn2/, (accessed 5/14/25). 29 City of San Rafael, “Hillside Guidelines Handout,” https://www.cityofsanrafael.org/11071-2/, (accessed 5/14/25).

Each jurisdiction conducts a rigorous evaluation of its future housing needs and describes the plan to fulfill those needs in its Housing Element. Marin housing jurisdictions face the challenge that the current housing stock of family-oriented single-family housing built primarily in the 1970s and 1980s is often not well aligned with the current or future population, dominated by older, often single, adults. About one-third of all current Marin households house only one resident, yet over 70 percent of Marin's housing stock is single-family residences with multiple bedrooms.30 The affordable housing type often best suited to serve the needs of Marin’s medianincome workforce is multifamily rental housing located close to transportation and services. In identifying sites for their Housing Elements, many Marin jurisdictions have struggled to find sites appropriate for this type of housing during the Housing Element development process.

The lack of new housing stock contributed significantly to rising Marin median housing prices, which increased by over $1 million in the eight-year period between 2013 to 2021 (from $966,000 to $1.91 million, a 98 percent increase).31 Over that same period, median household income in Marin only increased by 45 percent. In addition, housing costs impact affordable 30 “2023-2031 Housing Element,” Marin Countywide Plan, Table H-2,15: Housing Units by Type, Countywide, page 32, https://www.marincounty.gov/sites/g/files/fdkgoe241/files/2024-05/2023- 2031_marincountyhousingelement_chapter2.pdf, (accessed 5/14/25). 31 “2023-2031 Housing Element,” Marin Countywide Plan, Table H2.4, page 45.

housing residents more than market-rate housing residents, since housing consumes a much higher percentage of the household budgets for the affordable group.32 The consequences of high housing costs are significant and impact Marin’s public-sector workforce. According to Marin public-sector leaders interviewed by the Grand Jury, 60 percent of public-sector workers (including teachers, police, and fire) do not live in Marin. These leaders indicate that the lack of local affordable housing is the primary reason why these workers are forced to live in other counties, which impacts employee job satisfaction and retention.33 More broadly, housing costs are the number one reason why people are leaving California.34 The Community’s Role in Housing Development
Marin has had the reputation of being anti-growth for a long time. Dating back to the 1960s, residents and local officials actively opposed large-scale housing projects to maintain local control, preserve the county's scenic landscapes, and protect its unique character.35 At the time, these pro-environmental values were widely celebrated in popular culture.36 Historically, the public hearing process has been a deterrent to building housing because the process discounts the value of objective information and technical expertise in favor of subjective opinions that prioritize speakers who are unrepresentative of the whole community and provide few mechanisms for addressing misinformation.37 Against this backdrop, the Grand Jury was surprised to repeatedly and consistently hear from local planning directors, developers, and other housing experts that community opposition is not currently the most significant impediment to the development or construction of housing.

In recent years, there has been a growing recognition across the country of the severe housing crisis.38 Much has been written about how the NIMBY tide is receding in California.39 This is 32 Examiner Staff, Low-wage Workers Might Make More in SF, but Housing Costs are Still out of Reach, San Francisco Examiner, February 10, 2015, https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/low-wage-workers-might-make-morein-sf-but-housing-costs-are-still-out-of/article_7415c2ac-3dc9-55dc-97d3-c48b52708f12.html, (accessed 5/14/25). 33 Confidential Interviews

especially true in the Bay Area.40 While some Marin residents still express concerns about potential impacts on neighborhood character, infrastructure strain, and environmental considerations, this is somewhat balanced by YIMBYs (Yes in My Backyard) advocating for increased housing production to address affordability and availability issues. At some point, California residents who were concerned about growth went from being viewed as noble protectors of the environment to being criticized for perpetuating inequality.41 The Grand Jury determined through interviews that recent California legislation has reduced the ability of residents to significantly disrupt or influence most housing development projects. Since 2017, California lawmakers have passed over 100 pieces of legislation intended to combat the growing housing affordability and availability crises by shifting housing policy from the local level to the state. In confidential interviews, the Grand Jury heard from both developers and planning directors throughout Marin that new state laws significantly reduce the ability of local jurisdictions to deny housing projects that meet objective requirements, even if there is community opposition.

The Grand Jury determined through interviews that Marinites may now refrain from saying explicitly they are anti-growth, but they are still anxious about change and have legitimate concerns about how housing development may impact their communities. Traffic and emergency evacuation remain concerns for many Marin residents. While the state-led RHNA program limits local community discretion, the local jurisdictions still have an interest in being responsive to their constituents. Marin jurisdictions can encourage housing development, while at the same time making their communities feel heard and addressing their concerns by following a set of best practices.

When Should Community Engagement Occur?
Numerous housing leaders told the Grand Jury that the public often fails to understand that recent changes in California law have streamlined the planning process and prevent the use of subjective criteria as a basis for project denial. Repeatedly, the Grand Jury was told that jurisdictions should engage their communities proactively during the development of the Housing Element and the rezoning processes that increase site density – not merely reactively on a project-by-project basis. Under current state housing laws, community opposition occurring in response to a housing application may well be too late for the community to have significant input.42 Depending on the jurisdiction, there may not be a hearing or a requirement to obtain an 40 The San Francisco Chronicle has had a regular, dedicated section entitled “Bay Area Housing Crisis.” 41 Conor Cougherty, “Twilight of the NIMBY,” June 5, 2022; See Also, Sophia Bollag, “Gavin Newsom Ups Pressure on Cities to Build More Housing,” San Francisco Chronicle, May 22, 2022, https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/newsom-housing-17188515.php, (accessed 5/14/25). 42 Anika Singh Lemar, “The Public Hearing Process For New Housing is Broken.

43 In particular, if the project is eligible for
ministerial approval, there will be limited opportunities for community input.

Jurisdictions should take steps to ensure the community understands changes in California housing law that impact the community input process. If jurisdictions fail to keep their residents informed as developers accrue entitlements and building permits under the new state laws, there is the risk of backlash when the community becomes aware of a development only once construction has begun.

What Type of Engagement is Best?
Studies show that intentional and accessible engagement with the community leading up to the development of a Housing Element or housing up-zoning can help garner broad support for development.44 Marin housing leaders describe an array of best practices, including:
● Holding public forums about building ADUs, with staff participation from a multitude of agencies (planning, building, fire, water, and sanitary district). ● Engaging people where they already socialize, shop, and play, e.g., farmers markets, sporting events, music events, and parks.
● Using multiple means of communication, including a robust town website, postings on social media, and outreach to community newsletters published by residents. ● Putting a human face on the housing crisis. One jurisdiction created a video, highlighting people in the community who were on the verge of being unhoused.

Studies show that best practices include acknowledging that residents may have legitimate concerns about development, such as increased traffic, but planners should reorient the conversations away from what residents might lose from increased growth and, instead, focus on what they will gain.
45 The Grand Jury determined through interviews that planners could help connect the dots for residents so they understand that more housing means more vibrant towns in Marin with greater local amenities; and that more affordable housing could help alleviate the local shortages of workers in retail, homecare, and local government. For residents with climate change concerns, planners could emphasize that local housing development means local workers driving fewer miles across the county.

Who Should Be Included in the “Community”?
Planners told the Grand Jury that when a broad spectrum of the community participates, they more easily acknowledge that the housing requirements are state-mandated. The jurisdictions should engage all potential stakeholders, including those who are unlikely to attend public meetings. Polls, surveys, and online comment tools can be effective to reach the broader community.46 Planners also should attempt to engage those outside of their jurisdictions. When planners hear only from existing residents, they may only capture the opinions of those with a bias toward the status quo. By broadening their engagement, planners could hear from those who do not live in the jurisdiction but hope eventually to do so.47 Streamlined Planning and Permitting for Multifamily and ADU Housing As part of its investigation, the Grand Jury interviewed planning directors from all of the Marin jurisdictions. These planning directors described a variety of processes in communicating with developers. Developers and their attorneys told the Grand Jury they receive a confusing array of planning information from planning staff, who often do not cite the governing laws that support their positions on new development projects. The developers and attorneys stated they experienced less push-back from the community where constraints on the decision-making board or council are transparent to the public. Interviewees described how substantial pressure is reduced on local decision-makers when the applicable law or rules are provided to the public and the public is informed about which laws or rules are not within the housing jurisdiction's authority to change.

The Grand Jury interviews indicate that Objective Design and Development Standards (ODDS), developed to support certain ministerial processes intended to reduce discretion in the development process, are not achieving their intended outcomes. State law defines objective standards as those that “involve no personal or subjective judgement by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant and public official prior to submission.”48 These standards were developed by consultants hired by the jurisdictions, and are hundreds of pages long, are highly complex, and can be internally inconsistent. Recent changes in state law (SB 35, SB 330, and AB 2011) “require that for certain types of housing and mixed-use projects, 46 Sarah Karlinsky, “Structured for Success: Reforming Housing Governance in California and the Bay Area,” page 48, SPUR, October 3, 2023, https://www.spur.org/sites/default/files/2024-01/SPUR_Structured_for_Success.pdf, (accessed 5/14/25).

jurisdictions may only consider objective criteria, and only those that are in place at the time the project application is filed.”49
The Grand Jury determined through interviews that Marin jurisdictions created objective design standards that were purchased at significant expense from consultants and then customized for the jurisdiction in an attempt to improve consistency and predictability in the planning process and reduce subjective objections to projects. From interviews, the Grand Jury learned that the standards were developed with limited consultation with multifamily housing developers who bring their own previously developed housing designs to the project. Thus, the ODDS and the developer product are misaligned and vary across each jurisdiction, forcing developers to shop their housing designs to the jurisdiction with the best economic return and then obtain exception waivers to navigate the easiest and least expensive path to planning approval.

Under state law, Marin housing jurisdictions must provide developers with a clear, simplified process and a detailed reconciliation of planning fees for obtaining planning approval.50 Developers described some housing jurisdiction planning staff that are effective in providing upto-date process documentation and reconciliation of planning fees, while other communities were poorly organized, the planning approval process was difficult to navigate, and planning fees were unclear. By law, planning fees are not allowed to be a profit center for local communities, but developers describe some fees as arbitrary and not backed up by documentation. The Grand Jury determined through interviews that Marin planning jurisdictions are not consistently providing developers and the public with detailed reconciliation of project-level planning fees, expenses, and time expectations, and therefore, some housing developers are unclear if their housing applications are billed on a cost-neutral basis as required by state law.

Virtually every local housing jurisdiction has made some efforts to streamline the process to develop ADUs, which provide another pathway to support their housing goals. According to interviews with Marin housing professionals, some jurisdictions provide a streamlined ministerial process to approve ADUs, while other jurisdictions continue to have barriers to ADU development, either regarding process or fees. Some planning jurisdictions are not consistently providing informal and informational forums for the public who may be interested in exploring an ADU to help meet the County’s housing needs. The Grand Jury is concerned, based on interviews with housing planning staff, that the majority of ADUs are not being used to provide housing but are used by homeowners as an easy path to increase housing square footage.

The impact of inclusionary housing policies that require affordable housing to be included with market-rate housing was unclear based on the Grand Jury interviews. Some public and private housing professionals were very supportive of requiring low-income housing to be included in market-rate housing, while others believed that focused low-income housing development was a 49 “Objective Design and Development Standards Take On New Importance Under State Law,” paragraph 3, SMW Law, https://www.smwlaw.com/2025/01/29/objective-design-standards-take-on-new-importance-under-state-law/ (accessed 5/14/25).

more successful strategy to achieve RHNA goals. Housing applications that set aside a portion (15-25 percent) of the development for affordable units are allowed under new state laws to access streamlined processes or higher density units or both.51 Increased Investment in Multifamily Affordable Housing
Most Housing Elements define multifamily housing as the major source of new housing for Marin. A current multifamily project, Oak Hill workforce housing, is projected to cost $118,000,000 for 135 units or $874,000/unit.52 The housing sector competes against other investment opportunities to attract financing and investment capital. Affordable housing must also compete for scarce tax incentives to attract capital to finance the project. Market-rate housing developers compete against non-housing investment opportunities and housing projects outside Marin. New housing projects must provide adequate profit to housing developers, capital providers, and labor in order to be built. Multiple factors impact housing costs, but current interest rates are a substantial impediment to housing investment. In the current housing cycle, interest rates have increased 2.35 percent compared to previous housing cycles, providing substantial barriers to project economic incentive.53 For existing Marin multifamily properties, the return on investment is significantly lower than in other parts of the country. In Marin, apartment cap rates (a measure of the return on investment) reached a median of 5.15 percent in 2024, rising from a median of 4.63 percent in 2023.54 In 2024, the average cap rate in the U.S. was 7 percent.55 Therefore, Marin multifamily housing remains a less profitable investment compared to the alternatives in other parts of the country.

The financing of affordable housing is fundamentally different from market-rate housing development. Almost half of Marin RHNA goals support affordable housing (less than 80 percent of median income), and 78 percent of rental housing units in San Rafael house lowerincome workers.56 Historically, the State of California financed its affordable housing investment through 400 California redevelopment agencies. The redevelopment agency program ended in 2011, but the legislature elected to advance the development of affordable housing by passing 51 The original density bonus law was originally enacted in 1979 (Gov.

over 100 pro-housing bills since 2017.57 Affordable housing developments in California now primarily take advantage of the Federal and State Government Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) programs. These competitively awarded tax credits take advantage of several tax provisions to provide subsidies of 9 percent of the cost of the new housing project. In 2024, California was only allocated $113,944,937 of tax credits to 55 projects, and demand for these credits far outstrips supply.58 The limited availability of LIHTC funds reduces the ability of housing jurisdictions to meet RHNA housing goals.

An additional obstacle to building affordable housing is labor costs. Labor costs can represent up to 40 percent of housing costs,59 and Marin housing costs reflect the fact that multifamily housing construction is very labor-intensive, and labor costs are very high in Marin compared to other parts of California and the United States.60 In California, affordable housing construction costs are 39 percent higher than market-rate housing. Prevailing wage laws have a substantial impact on increasing the cost of affordable housing. Marin housing jurisdictions should understand that the payment of prevailing wages may result in the failure to construct affordable housing units and meet RHNA goals.61
Bay Area housing leaders have analyzed progress toward meeting the 6th cycle goals and realize that additional sources of funding are required to meet these goals. One important alternative is passing a bond to support affordable housing, paid for by Bay Area residents’ taxes. A recent attempt to authorize a $20 billion bond62 to benefit Bay Area counties (Marin’s share would have been $700 million) was pulled from the November 2024 ballot due to a lack of confidence to meet the required two-thirds voting threshold standard.63 Marin housing jurisdictions could work with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission to investigate whether a well-structured housing bond would be supported by Marin and Bay Area voters. 57 Terner Center for Housing Innovation, “Database of California Housing and Land Use Laws,” copyright 2025, https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/california-land-use-housing/, (accessed 5/14/25). 58 “California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, 2024 Annual Report,” page 8 (“2024 CTCAC Fast Facts”), California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, https://www.treasurer.ca.gov/ctcac/2024/2024-TCAC.pdf, (accessed 5/14/25).

Marin jurisdictions can ease the path for multifamily development by defining zoning districts where they want to encourage multifamily development and provide streamlined processes to support that development. San Rafael created a “Downtown Code” which encourages and supports a Multifamily Residential District to encourage this type of development.64 The Grand Jury determined through interviews that several Marin housing jurisdictions have an array of processes that proactively engage potential housing developers on opportunities to develop new multifamily housing in their district.

The Grand Jury investigation revealed that in many Marin jurisdictions, outside expertise is required to review multifamily housing applications since many staff planners lack the requisite experience in multifamily housing development. All jurisdictions rely on multifamily housing to meet their affordable housing goals and also support their market-rate housing goals. Planning Directors should ensure their staff or consulting staff have the necessary background to deal with complex multifamily projects. Housing development is a partnership between communities and housing developers, and housing planners need to approach the housing plan as a way to improve the ability of the community to thrive with new neighborhoods and new residents.

Improved Site Availability to Support New Housing
The Grand Jury determined through interviews that housing site availability has an important impact on the cost and ability to develop housing in Marin. Marin has long struggled with high housing costs. The limitations on land for development have hindered the construction of new homes.

All jurisdictions were required by RHNA to identify in their Housing Element sites that would support the development of new housing. Many of these sites have existing uses that often make modest or no contribution to housing.65 After the approval of the Housing Elements, the sites are rezoned by the jurisdiction to align with the housing plan. While this process, defined by state law, has made progress in providing developers with opportunities to contribute new housing, interviews indicate that many sites are not economically viable for the 6th cycle development.

The Grand Jury determined through interviews that steep hillside land and difficult environmental mitigation ensure that a substantial share of the sites that Marin communities make available are not economically viable. The Grand Jury investigation revealed that the key barrier to building new housing in Marin County was the economics of the housing development, and a central pillar of housing for developers was affordable access to high-quality housing sites.

High-quality sites are flat land not subject to flooding, close to public transportation and shopping, and that will provide the economic returns necessary to induce investment capital. 64 “San Rafael Zoning Ordinance Revisions and Downtown Code,” State of California, https://ceqanet.opr.ca.gov/2019039167/5, August 17, 2021, (accessed 5/14/25). 65 “What is Infill Development,” Planetizen, https://www.planetizen.com/definition/infill-development, (accessed 5/14/25).

Grand Jury interviews indicate that many sites currently being used for commercial and retail uses throughout Marin are often located on flat land near transportation and are not included in housing plans. These sites are opportunities for housing pursuant to the incentives in California Government Code section 65912.100, et seq., for the conversion of commercial properties to residential units. To get ahead of the future housing challenges, housing jurisdictions should proactively identify commercial office sites now that could be converted, and meet with the property owners to consider re-zoning the properties for residential uses.

FINDINGS
F1. Because the California Department of Housing and Community Development provided the County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns with unrealistic housing goals for the 2023-2030 cycle, the County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns will not achieve their current cycle Housing Element goals.

F2. The ability of the County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns to comply with the current cycle California Regional Housing Needs Allocation housing goals is significantly impacted by the lack of economic returns associated with that development and, therefore, inhibits the construction of new housing in Marin County.

F3. Under current state law, the failure of the County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns to make adequate progress in achieving their California Regional Housing Needs Allocation goals could expose these jurisdictions to the potential of litigation, loss of permitting authority, financial penalties, court receivership, and streamlined ministerial approval processes which could substantially impact the ability of local housing jurisdictions to control the development of housing.

F4. The cost of housing in Marin County is unaffordable for most current and potential Marin County public-sector workers, which reduces the ability of the public-sector employers to attract and retain employees.

F5. The County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns do not consistently inform the public on how applicable state law is limiting or eliminating the discretion of the local decision makers to modify or decline housing projects, and therefore, the public often does not understand the range of options available to local housing decision makers.

F6. The County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns are not consistently providing developers and the public with detailed reconciliation of project level public accounting of the planning fees, expenses, and time expectations, and therefore, housing developers are not clear if their housing applications are billed on a cost-neutral basis as required by state law.

F7. The County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns are not consistently and proactively engaging the housing development community on the opportunities available in their communities to build new housing, and, therefore, housing developers may not be aware of the opportunities available to contribute to local housing development.

F8. Accessory Dwelling Units are an element to the success of each jurisdiction's Housing Element for the County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns, yet some jurisdictions fail to provide a ministerial path to Accessory Dwelling Unit construction.

F9. Multifamily housing is the most important element to fulfilling each jurisdiction’s Housing Element for the County of Marin and the 11 Marin cities and towns, yet some jurisdictions fail to provide a ministerial path to multifamily construction.

R2. By January 1, 2026, the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the City and Town Councils for the 11 Marin cities and towns should direct their housing planning officials to engage with the public on a quarterly basis on how State housing laws constrain the jurisdiction's ability to approve or modify a housing project.

R3. By January 1, 2026, the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the City and Town Councils for the 11 Marin cities and towns should direct their housing planning officials to proactively engage with potential developers to inform them of opportunities in their housing elements to support addressing the housing needs within Marin County.

R4. By January 1, 2026, the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the City and Town Councils for the 11 Marin cities and towns should direct their housing planning officials to publish and regularly update a public accounting of the fees charged and expenses associated with each development project submitted to the jurisdiction’s planning and building activities.

R5. By January 1, 2026, the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the City and Town Councils for the 11 Marin cities and towns should direct their housing planning officials to ensure their housing laws provide a ministerial path for the approval of Accessory Dwelling Units.

R6. By January 1, 2026, the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the City and Town Councils for the 11 Marin cities and towns should direct their housing planning officials to ensure that local housing laws provide a ministerial path for the approval of multifamily housing in compliance with State housing law.

TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #:1.10
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2025
AGENDA TITLE: Tax Equity Rebate Program Overview and 2025 Rebate Summary
FROM: Jeff Zuba, Finance & Administrative Services Director RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file the 2025 report on the Tax Equity Rebate Program, which provides rebates for Municipal Services Tax, Pension Override Tax, and Library Parcel Tax to eligible San Anselmo property owners.

BACKGROUND
The Tax Equity Rebate Program was established by the Town Council in August 1983 with the adoption of Ordinance No. 845 and Resolution No. 3164. The purpose of the program is to provide financial relief to property owners in San Anselmo who may be unable to pay the Town's Municipal Services Tax, Pension Override Tax, and Library Parcel Tax due to economic hardship.

In September 2020, the Town Council updated the procedures and eligibility criteria of the program through Resolution No. 4360. The Tax Equity Board is responsible for reviewing applications submitted by property owners seeking rebates and determining their eligibility based on established criteria.

Eligibility Criteria
Property owners who may qualify for a rebate include the following categories:

1. Households eligible for public assistance and/or food stamps through Marin County’s Health and Human Services Department.

2. Households where the principal wage earner(s) have been unemployed for at least 90 days prior to the application.

3. Households whose total income falls within the "very low income" limits as defined by the Federal Housing and Urban Development Income Limits for Marin County.

Process
Eligible applicants must submit their applications to the Town for review by the Tax Equity Board. The Board reviews applications annually, and upon approval, the Town issues checks directly to the property owners for the approved rebate amounts. 177
Item #: 1.10
Applicants are advised to pay their property taxes in full to the County Tax Collector, as the County is not involved in this rebate process.
2025 Application Review
At its June 2025 meeting, the Tax Equity Board reviewed 54 applications and approved tax rebates totaling $19,173.04. The breakdown of the approved rebates is as follows:
 Municipal Services Tax: $3,354.00
 Library Parcel Tax: $2,954.44
 Pension Override Tax: $12,864.60
The rebates provide much-needed financial relief to households facing economic difficulties.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the Council receiving and filing this report. During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, in accordance with the criteria and procedures established by the Town Council, the Tax Equity Board approved tax rebates totaling $19,173.04 for qualifying residents.

2025 Youth Commissioner Application - Isabel Little
Name: Isabel Little
Email:

Parent first name: Laurie
Last name:

Parent phone number:

Mailing address:

Are you a San Anselmo resident: Yes
What school do you attend: The Branson School
Fall 2025 school grade: Sophomore/10th grader
Favorite subject: History
Outside of school hobbies and interests: I am the captain of my competitive club soccer team, I play club lacrosse, and I love to go running. One of my biggest passions is cooking/ baking. I cook often for my family and work at a youth cooking camp in the summer. I am a big reader; it’s one of my favorite things to do, and I read every day. I love the outdoors and spend most of my free weekends biking or hiking.

Wish to apply for: General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) Why do I wish to apply: I am eager to apply for this position because I want to help make a tangible difference in my community. I love the town of San Anselmo, and I wish I could help make more of a positive difference. As a teenager, it can seem like I don’t have a say in what's going on around me, and I feel helpless. I try my best to help my community, but I am not old enough to make any noticeable difference. No matter the size of my impact, I want to start helping make the world a better place. I am also fascinated by the more logistical and governmental aspects of this position. I am eager to 186
take a peek into what town planning looks like and learn from people in my community who are more experienced and knowledgeable than I am. I know getting experience in this professional setting would allow me to grow and gain important skills that I will be able to use in the future.

How could I contribute: I could contribute to this committee by sharing my honest opinions and representing the younger generation and our perspectives. The position of a youth commissioner is vital to a group like this because the younger generation is the future. Knowing and better understanding our viewpoints and the issues we feel are important is key to helping accommodate an entire community. Although I can not speak for every youth in San Anselmo, being the age that I am, not too old, but not too young, gives me a perspective similar to many other young people. I also pride myself on being a friend to all, which helps me better understand a wide range of younger people’s ideas. I could also contribute to the committee by being committed, open to learning new things, and passionate about helping others. Through showing up as myself, someone who is dedicated and respectful, I would be an asset to the committee and someone who works effectively with others. Lastly, I would contribute to the committee by simply being someone who truly wants to be there and wants to help out.

The most important issues it faces: Climate change is one of, if not the most important, issues that the committee faces. Growing up in California, I have felt the devastating effects of climate change firsthand. Missing days of school because the sky was orange and filled with wildfire smoke left me worried and powerless. I want to live in a world that is clean and beautiful. More importantly, I want to be a part of a solution, which is why I think sustainability and climate resilience efforts are some of the most important things the General Plan includes. Aspects like public transportation infrastructure and ensuring access to open space and parks are crucial, as they go hand in hand with tackling climate change and providing a sustainable future. Finally, housing is a significant issue that the committee faces. Making sure that our community has access to equitable and 187
affordable housing is not easy to achieve, but it is something I believe is vital to the General Plan.

Please tell us how you think you can contribute to this board, commission, or committee?* I believe that I have four main skills that will contribute to this committee’s goal. The first important skill I have is communication. This committee will require outreach and constant follow up to ensure that real action can be taken. My experience in outreach with the freshman Leadership class and volunteering with the rotary club has taught me how to effectively communicate with any and all people. In addition, I have connections and involvement within the community.

Not only did I go to White Hill and know much of the student government at Archie Williams, I am also part of the student government at Redwood, bridging the two student groups, many of whom reside in San Anselmo. In addition, my participation in the LCAP committee, performance workshop (music), the school board, and many other groups allows me to reach parts of my community otherwise left out of the discussion. I am continuing to grow my participation within the community and am confident that I can continue to bring together citizens of San Anselmo from all walks of life. The third of the main skills I have to contribute to this committee’s goal is responsibility. Not only taking responsibility for my own actions but ensuring that all decisions and actions are followed through on. When I commit to something, I follow through and ensure that it gets done. And lastly, I am a team player. I work well with my peers and have experience working well with others, even (and especially) when we disagree. My experiences with debate and Model UN have taught me how to see both sides of an argument, and engage in thoughtful discussion even when I disagree with someone. This is a crucial skill when making group decisions and working with large groups of people. In addition, my teamwork skills have vastly improved through Leadership. Getting something done, especially on a larger scale, is not an easy task. Dealing with bureaucracy and long processes can make teamwork feel inefficient or difficult. But my experience with these processes have taught me patience with both myself and my colleagues, again a crucial step to enacting real change within a community. These skills are just the beginning of the meaningful presence I feel I could have within this committee and community as a whole.

What do you think are the most important issues this board, committee, or commission faces?* The most important issues this committee faces are outreach and the quickly evolving economic/political climate (not necessarily in that order). First, outreach is extremely important to this committee as it is based in community involvement. This committee must strive to reach all members of the community and incorporate perspectives from all groups in order to have a well-rounded view of town issues. I have seen firsthand how difficult it is, just to get information out to my grade at Redwood. Getting information out to all San Anselmo residents is vital but a process that will take a lot of effort. The second of the most important issues faced by this committee is the changing economic and political climate. As the world goes through a lot of change in such a short time, it is important to understand what the priorities of San Anselmo residents are currently but also what they will be in the future. Circumstances change quickly, and the General Plan must adapt to reflect what will be effective for years to come. This as well will be a challenge, especially when it comes to predicting how to best prepare for future changes, but is another vital part of this committee.

List briefly, previous experience serving the public office, and/or civic commissions, boards, or committees:

I haven’t served on a formal board or committee, but I’ve been involved in advocacy for most of my life. I’ve always spoken up against injustice, even as a kid, and I became a parent to a mixed-race black son at 17. I protested in Ferguson in 2014 and again the following year after the murder of Michael Brown, and in San Francisco in 2020 after the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. I work in education and have also worked in disability services and case management. In all of these roles, I’ve seen firsthand how racism and bias affect the care and support people receive. I don’t separate equity work from the rest of my life. It is woven into who I am and how I show up.

Reasons for this appointment:

I’m applying because I care deeply about racial equity and want to be part of creating real change in San Anselmo. This isn’t something new to me. It’s something I’ve lived and cared about for a long time. I bring a perspective shaped by lived experience as a queer, autistic, chronically ill Mexican educator, and as the parent of a mixed-race Black son. I’ve spent years trying to get support in systems that often overlook or dismiss people like us. I’ve seen how racism and bias show up quietly and loudly, in everything from the classroom to healthcare to town leadership. I’m not here to check a box or hold a title. I’m here because I want things to change, and I’m willing to do the work to help make that happen.

What are your qualifications for this appointment?
My qualifications come from a combination of lived experience, community involvement, and professional work. I have supported people at the margins for years in education, in disability services, and in direct care. I work with autistic children and others with disabilities, and I have also done case management for older adults and people with complex needs throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. In these roles, I have had to advocate not just for services but for respect, dignity, and equity. I speak up in meetings, in workspaces, and in everyday conversations, especially when my spirit compels me to. I do not always have the platform, but I have never let that stop me from using my voice when it matters. I may not have formal credentials, but I bring something just as important: real-world experience, deep listening, and a commitment to truth-telling. I show up with my full self, and I am not afraid of discomfort if it means getting to the truth.

You may attach other documentation which you

selection process.

Briefly, what do you consider to be the most important, one or two current issues facing this Board/Commission/Committee?
I think it’s essential that the committee continues pushing for racial equity training for staff and leadership, and strengthening its relationship with the schools and wider community. I also think the work around policing and public safety is incredibly important. I haven’t attended police meetings myself, but I care deeply about transparency and accountability.

My sister is a police officer in another county, so I’ve seen both the human side of the job and the real harm that can come from unchecked power. I believe in asking hard questions and pushing for change, while still holding space for conversation and growth.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.2
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2025
AGENDA TITLE: Designation of Voting Delegate and Alternate(s) for the League of California Cities Annual ConferenceOctober 8-10, 2025 FROM: Administration
RECOMMENDATION: Appoint a Voting Delegate and Alternate for the League of California Cities Annual Conference— October 8-10, 2025

BACKGROUND
The League of California Cities Annual Conference https://www.calcities.org/educationand-events/event/2025/10/08/default-calendar/annual-conference-and-expo is being held October 8-10, 2025, in Long Beach. At this meeting, the Cal Cities membership considers and acts on resolutions that will establish Cal Cities policy.

In order to vote, the Town Council must designate a voting delegate and alternate(s) if desired.

ANALYSIS
This conference provides training and information to elected officials and administrators from California Cities. The League of California Cities is organized to provide legislative advocacy and other support to municipal government at the State of California. It also serves as a forum for recognizing exemplary services and programs by cities.

When Councilmembers desire to attend the annual League Conference, voting delegates are appointed at a Town Council meeting.

Should one or more Councilmembers wish to attend this Conference, and wish to participate in the voting process, a formal action must be taken by Council to designate the voting delegate and alternate.

FISCAL IMPACT
Attendance to the annual League Conference is budgeted each year, therefore, no additional cost is associated.
207
Item #: 2.2

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
Designating voting and alternates delegates to the annual conference is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act, because it does not involve an activity which has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21065).

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.

Council Action Advised by September 24, 2025
209
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 24. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

1400 K Street, Suite 400, Sacramento, CA 95814 • 916.658.8200 • calcities.org General Assembly Voting Guidelines

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.

General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f). 212

RECOMMENDATION: Receive update from the Marin County Flood Control District (District) on the District’s San Anselmo Flood Risk Reduction Project (SAFRR), including the following items:

1. Update on the Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) application submission to FEMA.

2. A comparison of the 1D versus the 2D modeling in the CLOMR application and the SAFRR Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

3. Update on the Tree study and tree protection.

4. Update on California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The San Anselmo Flood Risk Reduction Project, SAFRR, is part of the District’s 10- Year Workplan to mitigate the 25-year flood event in Ross Valley. The SAFRR Project currently consists of three distinct components: (1) the Sunnyside Nursery Flood Diversion and Storage Basin at 3000 Sir Francis Drake Blvd, which has been completed; (2) the removal of the building at 634-636 San Anselmo Avenue in San Anselmo (BB2), a structure that partially obstructs the flow of San Anselmo Creek, and related creek restoration; and (3) flood mitigation of building structures downstream of BB2 that are affected by its removal (referred to collectively as the “Project”).

Information about the Project is available on the District’s website at https://flooddistrict.marincounty.gov/building-bridge-2-removal/ As part of the District’s presentation to the Town Council, Town staff have asked the District to discuss several items. First, there has been some discussion about the type of hydraulic modeling used by the District in association with the Project. Specifically, the District will explain both the 1D and 2D modeling as they relate to the CLOMR application and the SAFRR EIR and how they compare to each other in terms of the base flood elevation, mitigation, etc. The District will also discuss the tree study completed for the Project, as well as its environmental reporting requirements. 213

To: San Anselmo Town Council
From Ross Asselstine
RE: Irregularities in Processing the Permit and the CLOMR Application Let’s all consider what has not been conducted correctly on the permit process and CLOMR process:
1) The Planning Department has not yet reviewed the permit documents. 2) The Planning Commission has not yet reviewed the permit. 3) The Flood Committee, our “experts to advise TC on flood matters” has not reviewed neither the permit application nor the CLOMR request.
4) The Parks and Recreation Department and Commission who are “an advisory body to Town Council and Staff for planning recreation activities, development of Town parks, and the management of public lands.” have not reviewed the permit documents relative to the safety of the Heritage Redwoods or temporary land use.
5) The Finance Committee has yet to react to my May letter stating concern that I thought we had a serious issue with the FZ9 finances and trailing liabilities. 6) The District states they are going to revise the 2023 EIR yet again. We have no idea what that might entail.

In short, the panic that the District has in terms of timing appears to have resulted in our own procedures being ignored and or forgotten. In my view it is entirely disingenuous that brand new District staff come in and explain how wonderful and accurate this CLOMR application is and why our Town should concur with the application when so any of us have been shouting about the redwoods for literally years. This council requested information on the subject in April, stated that it would be a future agenda item and we’ve got nothing. NOW THEY WANT US TO CONCUR WITH A DESIGN THAT KILLS THE TREES.

Such is the process we all get dragged into by the District. This is not our time to blink. They should show us, by permit documents and a CLOMR application how they are going to save the trees.

I believe that if the correct steps are taken a few things will happen:
• The Redwoods will prevail over the excavation plan and re-design will be required. This in turn will force dramatic changes to the CLOMR.
• The package of the CLOMR to FEMA will have to be re-drafted to include saving the trees and work as required by the new EIR.
• The MCC and MC DF will do the deep dive required and the entire project will be shelved because of lack of funds.

RE: Public Comment
Item # 2.3 County Flood District update on the San Anselmo Flood Risk Reduction Project I hate to break it to the District, but the newly adopted slogan is dead wrong. You’re not “Creating a pass towards excellence” - you’re - “Creating a path towards lawsuits.” But the good news is you can still do a course correction and prevent this.

Here is a short list of issues that should concern the Town Council:

Judd Goodman doesn’t answer questions because he is unable to or possibly due to constraints imposed on him.

Tony Swan reaches out to schedule meetings with impacted homeowners and then doesn’t follow up.

After lots of talk about reaching out and improving communications, this is a disappointing outcome.

Very disingenuous.

CLOMR notifications were sent via certified mail to the wrong address and returned to sender. And it took 2 weeks to finally get them to impacted homeowners. (See attached photo) Hard to imagine a more careless oversight – after seven years.

Some survey information is still inaccurate and still questionable after 3 or more survey attempts.
266
The District didn’t know about or ignored FEMA regulations until residents called them on it in 2020. And now they misinterpret them using FFF instead of No-Rise against structures. Now we have the CLOMR mess.

Chris Blunk acknowledges that there are many unanswered questions. Shouldn’t we have answers before approving anything?
The budget for mitigation is a paltry $400,000 – a number that was plucked out of thin air, rather than actual needs. This is after wasting more than $50 million dollars. (Think how many homes could have been raised for $50 million!)
Liz Lewis told the truth about required mitigation and left shortly thereafter.

Tracy Clay and Berenice Davidson lied to residents, Town Councils, and FEMA and now they are gone.

As is Rosemarie Gaglione.

This whole thing is a mess. I could go on and on – Redwoods, Downstream Flooding, etc., but it has all been said before. It is now time to act and put an end to the pretense that the District has a viable plan.

They don’t and we all know it.

I implore the Town Council of San Anselmo to terminate SAFRR, without further delay. The script is already written courtesy of MMWD’s Matt Samson. Just substitute “water supply” with “flood control.” “I say we just cancel it right now and put the community at rest to let them know that this is taken off the docket and we no longer need to move forward with it,” said Matt Samson, district board chair. “It’s no longer economically viable and it’s no longer a responsible way to spend district ratepayer money on a water supply.” MMWD’S backs out of Nicasio Reservoir Plan 8.23.25
https://www.marinij.com/2025/08/21/mmwd-backs-out-of-nicasio-reservoir-plan/ The District needs to follow MMWD’s needs and back off their incompetent misguided plans right now. The Town Council of San Anselmo cannot be a party to malfeasance and foolishness.

It is time to finally do the right thing.

RE: Public Comment Re: Video of Ross Zoom Meeting
Item # 2.3 County Flood District update on the San Anselmo Flood Risk Reduction Project Here is an important video link to the Ross Homeowner’s meeting held on September 23, 2020. It is vital that the Town Council of San Anselmo watch this before making any decision on CLOMR regarding Item # 2.3.

There is way more on the record than new council members may realize and none of it is favorable to the District.

It features comments by Garril Page, Jenny Mota, Ford Greene. Steve Burdo, Elizabeth Brekhus, James Reilly, and Doug Ryan. This a must view that must be seen prior to the meeting with the District CLOMR presentation on Item # 2.3 on August 26
th
, 2025.

Here is the link to the full version of the District Meeting Held with Ross Homeowners held on September 23, 2020. It features additional troubling statements by Liz Lewis, Richard Simonitch, Charlie Goodman, and others.

Please watch and respect the public process for community engagement by concerned community members.

They are spoken, and you need to hear them.

Thank you.

Her statements at this link Time Code 1:12 in the clip sent are on the in BOS archival record for that meeting.

Thank you. Sorry for any confusion.

Item # 2.3 County Flood District update on the San Anselmo Flood Risk Reduction Project 272
Here is an important video link to the Ross Homeowner’s meeting held on September 23, 2020. It is vital that the Town Council of San Anselmo watch this before making any decision on CLOMR regarding Item #

2.3. There is way more on the record than new council members may realize and none of it is favorable to the District.

It features comments by Garril Page, Jenny Mota, Ford Greene. Steve Burdo, Elizabeth Brekhus, James Reilly, and Doug Ryan. This a must view that must be seen prior to the meeting with the District CLOMR presentation on Item # 2.3 on August 26
th
, 2025.

Here is the link to the full version of the District Meeting Held with Ross Homeowners held on September 23, 2020. It features additional troubling statements by Liz Lewis, Richard Simonitch, Charlie Goodman, and others.

Please watch and respect the public process for community engagement by concerned community members. They are spoken, and you need to hear them.

Thank you.

RE: Public Comment
Item # 2.3 County Flood District update on the San Anselmo Flood Risk Reduction Project I hate to break it to the District, but the newly adopted slogan is dead wrong. You’re not “Creating a pass towards excellence” - you’re - “Creating a path towards lawsuits.” But the good news is you can still do a course correction and prevent this.

Here is a short list of issues that should concern the Town Council:

Judd Goodman doesn’t answer questions because he is unable to or possibly due to constraints imposed on him.

Tony Swan reaches out to schedule meetings with impacted homeowners and then doesn’t follow up. After lots of talk about reaching out and improving communications, this is a disappointing outcome. Very disingenuous.

CLOMR notifications were sent via certified mail to the wrong address and returned to sender.

And it took 2 weeks to finally get them to impacted homeowners. (See attached photo) Hard to imagine a more careless oversight – after seven years.

Some survey information is still inaccurate and still questionable after 3 or more survey attempts.

The District didn’t know about or ignored FEMA regulations until residents called them on it in 2020. And now they misinterpret them using FFF instead of No-Rise against structures. Now we have the CLOMR mess.

Chris Blunk acknowledges that there are many unanswered questions. Shouldn’t we have answers before approving anything?
The budget for mitigation is a paltry $400,000 – a number that was plucked out of thin air, rather than actual needs. This is after wasting more than $50 million dollars. (Think how many homes could have been raised for $50 million!)
Liz Lewis told the truth about required mitigation and left shortly thereafter. 274
Tracy Clay and Berenice Davidson lied to residents, Town Councils, and FEMA and now they are gone.

As is Rosemarie Gaglione.

This whole thing is a mess. I could go on and on – Redwoods, Downstream Flooding, etc., but it has all been said before. It is now time to act and put an end to the pretense that the District has a viable plan.

They don’t and we all know it.

I implore the Town Council of San Anselmo to terminate SAFRR, without further delay. The script is already written courtesy of MMWD’s Matt Samson. Just substitute “water supply” with “flood control.” “I say we just cancel it right now and put the community at rest to let them know that this is taken off the docket and we no longer need to move forward with it,” said Matt Samson, district board chair. “It’s no longer economically viable and it’s no longer a responsible way to spend district ratepayer money on a water supply.”
MMWD’S backs out of Nicasio Reservoir Plan 8.23.25
https://www.marinij.com/2025/08/21/mmwd-backs-out-of-nicasio-reservoir-plan/ The District needs to follow MMWD’s needs and back off their incompetent misguided plans right now.

The Town Council of San Anselmo cannot be a party to malfeasance and foolishness.

It is time to finally do the right thing.

With Concern,
John Crane

Notice re SAFRR & CMC FRMP MT2 Applications: Since I see this correspondence sent to you July 28 was not include in correspondence I am resending it:

Notice re SAFRR & CMC FRMP MT2 Applications:

This is a Notice to those responsible for rendering decisions on flood projects in Marin County’s Ross Valley, Flood Zone 9, detailing perceived problems and suggested remedies for process failures causing harm and increasing risk to public safety in Marin’s Flood District, Zone 9. Remapping appears unjustified.

On July 7, 2025, Carlos Rendo of FEMA’s Region 9 office extended the courtesy of a reply to a series of questions I asked FEMA.  That response contained this statement:
"The Hydrology and Hydraulic Studies are not a FEMA product. If the community commissions a study to put forward to FEMA’s MT2 review team, we do not and cannot control the ‘inputs’ used. Only the variables found in quantifiable data are checked for quality control in this process. Please contact your local community to verify the specifics …" Given FEMA’s representatives’ reported insistence on one dimensional modeling (1D) to the exclusion of more recent and accurate software and models, those statements are incorrect. I urge greater diligence, broader factual basis, and fresh eyes on project analysis as well as the use of better diagnostic tools. In June 2023, FEMA Region 9 was advised that Marin’s flood district Hydrology and Hydraulic studies for SAFRR using combined one and two dimensional programs (1D-2D) differed by almost three feet from one-dimensional models (1D) on which FEMA relies, with FEMA 1D delivering lower BFE levels. (see below) Apparently, the potential for three feet of project-caused flood water is not sufficiently compelling to persuade FEMA to accept the verifiable Stetson Engineers’ models certified by Marin Board of Supervisors in SAFRR EIR documents.

Instead, FEMA’s one dimensional model, predicting lower flood levels, is used for CLOMR. Therefore, in this case, 1D is a FEMA product, and software less effective to assess Marin’s augmented by overland drainage flooding where recent hybrid models are more accurate. This brings to mind the USACE’s 1960s decision to disregard the unique high sediment production of  Ross Valley waterways when designing their dysfunction channelization, resulting in a 250 Year Storm Design project that overtops in events exceeding a 6 year storm level.

How will you explain to future flooded residents that both decision-makers and FEMA knew there was a more accurate 1D-2D HEC-RAS software program which was not used in the CLOMR permit process? The inexplicable qui pro quo here is that post-BB2 demolition LOMR construction can use the improved models but receive no mitigation.(see below)
276
The “highly technical” MT2 application of Marin’s flood district apparently makes no distinction between one inch of flood benefit upstream as opposed to up to 4 inches (or three feet!) of additional, induced project-caused flooding downstream. Using the BB2 demolition project to pit 502 properties upstream against 9-10 properties downstream is political oversimplification. To shift flood burden from upstream to downstream areas is inhumane, and a deflection from the rejection of expressed public desire to verify the information before it is presented to FEMA. Politics and ‘vanity projects’ may be greater flow constraints than any bridges, culverts or natural features of the Ross Valley.

Access to CLOMR MT2 Applications, the Balance Hydraulics Report and project renderings for SAFRR is denied. Yet both San Anselmo and Ross sign-offs are a required part of the CLOMR process. Why should heavily-settled downstream reaches of San Anselmo and Corte Madera Creeks sited outside the curated, highly selective project definition for the proposed BB2 demolition be denied access? Surely, the public should be able to read and verify material being submitted to FEMA before any approvals? This is especially important because SAFRR and CMC FRMP are projects that increase flood flows before recognized flow constraints in these areas are fixed.

Not realizing the communication problem caused by an unresponsive flood district, Mr. Rendo suggested:
"There is a Point of Contact for this project for the Marin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District: https://flooddistrict.marincounty.gov/fema-review-bb2/“.

Detailed below are examples of the failed district response to public inquiry and concern that have been a defining factor of flood projects for years:

The December 2023 SAFRR Addendum 2 contains Public Comments about harm to Creek Park redwoods. After publicly stating the district website would provide Response to these Comments, the flood district continued to ignore those and subsequent concerns and questions, causing residents to seek expert advice of a qualified Arborist. The Arborist Report attached below confirms project-caused potential risks to utilities and failure of the Creek Park redwood trees. Such a failure endangers public safety, incurs liability for the Town, and destabilizes the proposed ‘bio-engineered bank' proposed to replace BB2. If bank stability and environmental function are compromised, the town has exchanged BB2 for a costly liability. (see below) Removing BB2 is more complex and consequential than the flood district acknowledges. Adding to public concern, important impacts and risk factors continue to be ignored, questions continue to remain unanswered. Impacts to the commercial center of San Anselmo deserve answers, but continuing non-response is a constant. This lack of accountability tests public trust and may enable misinformation. Where are project renderings? Does any one know what San Anselmo will look like post-project? What is the risk to commercial buildings with in-creek structural elements? What is the on-going extent and cost of increases to town operations and maintenance? Strain gauges placed on BB2 years ago with scheduled weekly readings by town staff relayed to district staff should have forced district staff to correct false claims of BB2’s hazardous instability. Yet the recitals of impending hazard were repeated for years, used even today to justify the denial of access to a former town recreational asset. The district has ignored years of strain gauge monitoring and engineering assessments for restoring and retaining BB2. (see below)
During 2011-15 flood studies, BB2 was one of the many flow constraints identified. Those have remained unimproved and unmentioned while BB2 has been demonized by repetition of misinformation that blocks access and deflect concerns over unanswered aspects of SAFRR. This does not improve public trust.

In spite of a federal administration unable to appreciate the importance of FEMA’s work in responding to national emergencies, I hope FEMA’s future is secure and the agency is available to join residents who seek to identify representatives able to work toward more transparent, rational, and responsible paths to flood projects using more diversified communication, greater transparency, and above all, truth.

Yours sincerely,
Garril Page

RE: Creek Park redwoods, San Anselmo
Date: 7/23/25

ARBORIST REPORT
Assignment
• Review construction documents.
• Visit Creek Park to assess trees and site conditions. • Provide an Arborist Report of findings and recommendations.

Overview
Creek Park contains many trees, including numerous coast redwoods, white alders and ornamental species. The property has a natural reach of San Anselmo creek running roughly from north to south. A concrete structure spans the creek that was built as a gas station and auto repair shop. The current project intends to remove the structure and install new flood control structures and vegetation in its place.

Trees that experience construction impacts, and particularly root losses, are likely to become hazards. Current plans show that a minimum of 13 redwood trees and 4 alders at this site will experience significant root losses, are likely to become hazards and will need to be removed. Most of the remaining trees in the park will experience significant and harmful impacts due to access and staging for the construction.

The attached photographs are of the site and the redwood trees that will require removal based on the design. Sheet G-7 by Stetson Engineers identifies tree locations and trunk diameters, and the attached markup shows tree protection zones for these 13 redwood trees.

Document Review
Tree Protection Plan Sheet
The tree protection zone (TPZ) diameter is 20 times the trunk diameter. All trees are good candidates for preservation based on their pre-construction condition.

Tree protection requires use of fencing, trunk protection and root buffers where fencing cannot be installed, protection of soil and roots wherever staging and equipment access are required, and the installation of temporary irrigation and mulch. None of these tree protective 283

Contractor’s License #885953 www.treemanagementexperts.blogspot.com Page 2 of 7 methods has been shown on the “tree protection plan”, and it therefore does not protect the trees from damage.

The proposed “tree protection plan” simply states to stop work if 1-inch or larger roots are encountered. There are many roots of 1 inch diameter and larger visible right now. By this specification, excavation work could never start.

Sheet G-5, GEI Consultants, September 15, 2023
The plan shows water and sanitary sewer lines and indicates “Remove water, sewer or other conduit hanging below bridge deck or buried below structure.” These utilities run parallel to the east edge of the concrete structure and are within the structural root zone of the trees.

Removal of utilities cannot be completed in this location since this would destabilize the trees and create hazardous conditions for park users. Recommendation: Abandon buried utilities in place.

The plan specifies “Demo grade beam wall”, and “Demo concrete structure (dimensions approximate)”, and improperly shows the curb next to the trees as below grade when it actually extends about 1 foot above grade. Per plans, “Dimensions unknown. 2-ft maximum demolition depth”, and “Protect (E) trees and roots exposed in soil back of wall”. The plan is unclear as to what is meant by “wall”. Per tree protection industry standards and based on the trunk diameter of the adjacent redwood trees, all roots in back of the wall nearest to the grade beams need to be protected, and per the scale of the drawing this would be to a distance of approximately 12 feet. Recommendation: protect and preserve all roots and associated soil at the back of the eastern-most wall, or at an average distance of 12 to 15 feet from the 6 adjacent redwood trees.

Sheet C-19, Geomorph Design, September 15, 2023
Section detail (3) indicates that soil will be excavated to an average of minus 5 feet in areas that are within 1 foot of the redwood trees. This excavation with vegetated soil lifts is to “Avoid damaging tree roots”, and per note 4, “…avoid damaging tree roots with arborist and engineer approval.” Structural roots for these trees are present in the entire area depicted in section detail (3), and per industry standards, the removal of soil per this detail cannot be performed without creating structurally unsound and unsafe trees out of the adjacent redwoods. Recommendation: retain existing soil and root structure, relying on the roots for soil stability. Infill with plantings on the existing soil grade.

Section detail (4) indicates that a backcut slope is to reduce the existing grade by between 5 and 8 feet. This excavation would remove most if not all roots on the creek side of the row of 6 redwoods, and would create hazardous trees that are likely to fail, uprooting toward the east. Recommendation: protect and preserve all roots and associated soil at the back of the eastern-most wall, or at an average distance of 12 to 15 feet from the 6 adjacent redwood trees.

The plan is titled “Finished Site Plan”, and fails to show any trees in Creekside Park. Since many trees are present in the park, it appears that Stetson forgot to include trees on this plan sheet. Recommendation: revise the plan sheet to include trees to be preserved in the actual “Finished Site Plan”, if any.

Marin County Flood Control: San Anselmo Downtown Creek Area Tree inventory data set identifying tree tag numbers, tree species, scientific name, DBH (in), and condition. These are standard minimal as-found data points for a tree inventory. There are no tree protection zone diameters or other calculated metrics to characterize tree protection zones. Recommendation: develop tree protection zones per industry standards for each tree identified in this dataset. Use the tree protection zones to identify limitations to site utilization, and to establish mitigation requirements, per industry standards.

Sheet 1 of 1, Topographic Map, BKF Engineers, May 30, 2023 Redwood trees as well as other trees found within Creekside Park are clearly located.

Recommendation: incorporate tree locations onto all plan sheets and develop tree protection zones per industry standards for each tree identified on this map. Use the tree protection zones to identify limitations to site utilization, and to establish mitigation requirements, per industry standards.

The current plans do not accommodate the trees within Creekside Park due to designs that require extensive excavation within tree protection zones. Tree removal for several trees will be required should construction proceed as shown on the plans.

Access and staging will require extensive utilization of the park property, including most areas with trees. Trees that are retained will suffer irreparable damage unless extensive tree protection measures are added to this plan.

To preserve the trees, the portion of the existing east structure that retains soil needs to remain undisturbed. All underground structures and utilities within tree protection zones should be retained in order to preserve roots. New plans should minimize soil disturbance in order to preserve the roots.

The portion of the structure that does not retain soil with roots may be removed and the site restored to become part of the creek environment. Although some roots from the redwoods are likely present at this distance, the impacts would be tolerated.

A tree protection plan, per industry standards, is essential to preservation of the trees in this park. The tree protection plan provided does not meet industry standards. With the current plan, most if not all trees in this park are de-facto condemned, and will be either removed or damaged to a point where they become hazardous or unhealthy. 286

Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to examine trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to reduce the risk of living near trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the arborist, or to seek additional advice.

Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often hidden within trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances, or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments, like any medicine, cannot be guaranteed.

Treatment, pruning, and removal of trees may involve considerations beyond the scope of the arborist’s services such as property boundaries, property ownership, site lines, disputes between neighbors, and other issues. An arborist cannot take such considerations into account unless complete and accurate information is disclosed to the arborist. An arborist should then be expected to reasonably rely upon the completeness and accuracy of the information provided.

Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some degree of risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate the trees.

Tree risk assessment is not tree risk management. The arborist typically has the distinct and separate role of being the tree risk assessor. The tree risk manager is typically the property owner or the agent thereof. Tree risk management should consider tree risk assessment, and may consider many additional factors related to property management decision making. 288

Roger and I spoke with Eric Simmons right before he sent us this email.

In that verbal conversation, Eric agreed with us in that we can go to FEMA with a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) after BB2 is removed. That way, FEMA will review the updated model and all the changes that the three jurisdictions, Ross, San Anselmo and County’s respective floodplain administrators have reviewed and supported.

I told him the concern was to be kicked out our the NFIP; he said in his 20 years with FEAM, no jurisdictions have even been kicked out. He said FEMA gets sued all the time and that legal matters are deferred to local counsel.

He said this at the meeting with the bigger group with all of us including FEMA’s lawyer.

Our recommendations it to move ahead with the removal of BB2 and then submit for a LOMR. I briefed Richard Simonitch last night at the FZ 9 AB special budget meeting and he agrees.

We are moving forward with surveying first floor elevations on affected parcels, we can schedule a separate meeting to give you more details.

I will be reaching out to Sean Condry and Scott Schneider sometime in the next couple of days.

An ‘effective’ model is updated/replaced when a flood map revision goes effective. That is usually accomplished through a LOMR where new, existing conditions hydraulic modeling is reviewed, accepted, and mapped by FEMA [through the letter including an update to portions of FIRM panel(s)]. FEMA has an obligation to make a determination within 90-days when all needed data is provided, but the LOMR process typically covers over 6 months.

FYI, I did join a meeting with Marin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Rep. Huffman’s office, and others with FEMA on May 19 to discuss the Bridge 2 project. I’ve copied my colleagues from FEMA HQ (Brian Koper and Tahir Benabdi) that oversee the MT-2 process that includes LOMRs and CLOMRs. We’re happy to discuss specific questions on a possible Ross Valley LOMR application such as tie-ins, modeling floodway encroachments in 2D, flood profiles, floodway data tables, etc. Best, Eric Simmons

Subject: Updating an effective model - steps and timeline Hi Eric
I am helping my folks out in our Ross Valley zone with the FEMA issues around removing building Bridge 2 (I think they have spoken with you). As you may recall, we have a newer 2D RAS model that is more accurate but gives very different model results (almost 3 feet difference in wse) then the effective model.

We believe the newer 2D model is more accurate, and I wanted to understand the process and timeline to update to a new effective model? How does this happen? Approvals and timeline Can you help me out on this question, thanks, Roger

RE: Creek Park redwoods, San Anselmo
Date: 7/23/25

ARBORIST REPORT
Assignment
• Review construction documents.
• Visit Creek Park to assess trees and site conditions. • Provide an Arborist Report of findings and recommendations.

Overview
Creek Park contains many trees, including numerous coast redwoods, white alders and ornamental species. The property has a natural reach of San Anselmo creek running roughly from north to south. A concrete structure spans the creek that was built as a gas station and auto repair shop. The current project intends to remove the structure and install new flood control structures and vegetation in its place.

Trees that experience construction impacts, and particularly root losses, are likely to become hazards. Current plans show that a minimum of 13 redwood trees and 4 alders at this site will experience significant root losses, are likely to become hazards and will need to be removed. Most of the remaining trees in the park will experience significant and harmful impacts due to access and staging for the construction.

The attached photographs are of the site and the redwood trees that will require removal based on the design. Sheet G-7 by Stetson Engineers identifies tree locations and trunk diameters, and the attached markup shows tree protection zones for these 13 redwood trees.

Document Review
Tree Protection Plan Sheet
The tree protection zone (TPZ) diameter is 20 times the trunk diameter. All trees are good candidates for preservation based on their pre-construction condition.

Tree protection requires use of fencing, trunk protection and root buffers where fencing cannot be installed, protection of soil and roots wherever staging and equipment access are required, and the installation of temporary irrigation and mulch. None of these tree protective 298

Contractor’s License #885953 www.treemanagementexperts.blogspot.com Page 2 of 7 methods has been shown on the “tree protection plan”, and it therefore does not protect the trees from damage.

The proposed “tree protection plan” simply states to stop work if 1-inch or larger roots are encountered. There are many roots of 1 inch diameter and larger visible right now. By this specification, excavation work could never start.

Sheet G-5, GEI Consultants, September 15, 2023
The plan shows water and sanitary sewer lines and indicates “Remove water, sewer or other conduit hanging below bridge deck or buried below structure.” These utilities run parallel to the east edge of the concrete structure and are within the structural root zone of the trees.

Removal of utilities cannot be completed in this location since this would destabilize the trees and create hazardous conditions for park users. Recommendation: Abandon buried utilities in place.

The plan specifies “Demo grade beam wall”, and “Demo concrete structure (dimensions approximate)”, and improperly shows the curb next to the trees as below grade when it actually extends about 1 foot above grade. Per plans, “Dimensions unknown. 2-ft maximum demolition depth”, and “Protect (E) trees and roots exposed in soil back of wall”. The plan is unclear as to what is meant by “wall”. Per tree protection industry standards and based on the trunk diameter of the adjacent redwood trees, all roots in back of the wall nearest to the grade beams need to be protected, and per the scale of the drawing this would be to a distance of approximately 12 feet. Recommendation: protect and preserve all roots and associated soil at the back of the eastern-most wall, or at an average distance of 12 to 15 feet from the 6 adjacent redwood trees.

Sheet C-19, Geomorph Design, September 15, 2023
Section detail (3) indicates that soil will be excavated to an average of minus 5 feet in areas that are within 1 foot of the redwood trees. This excavation with vegetated soil lifts is to “Avoid damaging tree roots”, and per note 4, “…avoid damaging tree roots with arborist and engineer approval.” Structural roots for these trees are present in the entire area depicted in section detail (3), and per industry standards, the removal of soil per this detail cannot be performed without creating structurally unsound and unsafe trees out of the adjacent redwoods. Recommendation: retain existing soil and root structure, relying on the roots for soil stability. Infill with plantings on the existing soil grade.

Section detail (4) indicates that a backcut slope is to reduce the existing grade by between 5 and 8 feet. This excavation would remove most if not all roots on the creek side of the row of 6 redwoods, and would create hazardous trees that are likely to fail, uprooting toward the east. Recommendation: protect and preserve all roots and associated soil at the back of the eastern-most wall, or at an average distance of 12 to 15 feet from the 6 adjacent redwood trees.

The plan is titled “Finished Site Plan”, and fails to show any trees in Creekside Park. Since many trees are present in the park, it appears that Stetson forgot to include trees on this plan sheet. Recommendation: revise the plan sheet to include trees to be preserved in the actual “Finished Site Plan”, if any.

Marin County Flood Control: San Anselmo Downtown Creek Area Tree inventory data set identifying tree tag numbers, tree species, scientific name, DBH (in), and condition. These are standard minimal as-found data points for a tree inventory. There are no tree protection zone diameters or other calculated metrics to characterize tree protection zones. Recommendation: develop tree protection zones per industry standards for each tree identified in this dataset. Use the tree protection zones to identify limitations to site utilization, and to establish mitigation requirements, per industry standards.

Sheet 1 of 1, Topographic Map, BKF Engineers, May 30, 2023 Redwood trees as well as other trees found within Creekside Park are clearly located.

Recommendation: incorporate tree locations onto all plan sheets and develop tree protection zones per industry standards for each tree identified on this map. Use the tree protection zones to identify limitations to site utilization, and to establish mitigation requirements, per industry standards.

The current plans do not accommodate the trees within Creekside Park due to designs that require extensive excavation within tree protection zones. Tree removal for several trees will be required should construction proceed as shown on the plans.

Access and staging will require extensive utilization of the park property, including most areas with trees. Trees that are retained will suffer irreparable damage unless extensive tree protection measures are added to this plan.

To preserve the trees, the portion of the existing east structure that retains soil needs to remain undisturbed. All underground structures and utilities within tree protection zones should be retained in order to preserve roots. New plans should minimize soil disturbance in order to preserve the roots.

The portion of the structure that does not retain soil with roots may be removed and the site restored to become part of the creek environment. Although some roots from the redwoods are likely present at this distance, the impacts would be tolerated.

A tree protection plan, per industry standards, is essential to preservation of the trees in this park. The tree protection plan provided does not meet industry standards. With the current plan, most if not all trees in this park are de-facto condemned, and will be either removed or damaged to a point where they become hazardous or unhealthy. 301

Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to examine trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to reduce the risk of living near trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the arborist, or to seek additional advice.

Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often hidden within trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances, or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments, like any medicine, cannot be guaranteed.

Treatment, pruning, and removal of trees may involve considerations beyond the scope of the arborist’s services such as property boundaries, property ownership, site lines, disputes between neighbors, and other issues. An arborist cannot take such considerations into account unless complete and accurate information is disclosed to the arborist. An arborist should then be expected to reasonably rely upon the completeness and accuracy of the information provided.

Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some degree of risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate the trees.

Tree risk assessment is not tree risk management. The arborist typically has the distinct and separate role of being the tree risk assessor. The tree risk manager is typically the property owner or the agent thereof. Tree risk management should consider tree risk assessment, and may consider many additional factors related to property management decision making. 303

Roger and I spoke with Eric Simmons right before he sent us this email.

In that verbal conversation, Eric agreed with us in that we can go to FEMA with a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) after BB2 is removed. That way, FEMA will review the updated model and all the changes that the three jurisdictions, Ross, San Anselmo and County’s respective floodplain administrators have reviewed and supported.

I told him the concern was to be kicked out our the NFIP; he said in his 20 years with FEAM, no jurisdictions have even been kicked out. He said FEMA gets sued all the time and that legal matters are deferred to local counsel.

He said this at the meeting with the bigger group with all of us including FEMA’s lawyer.

Our recommendations it to move ahead with the removal of BB2 and then submit for a LOMR. I briefed Richard Simonitch last night at the FZ 9 AB special budget meeting and he agrees.

We are moving forward with surveying first floor elevations on affected parcels, we can schedule a separate meeting to give you more details.

I will be reaching out to Sean Condry and Scott Schneider sometime in the next couple of days.

Thanks.

BUILDING BRIDGE 2, SAN ANSELMO COUNCIL LETTER FOR 8/26/25 MEETING Item #2.3
San Anselmo Mayor Kullaway and Town Council Members,
I’m sending you this email leOer in regard to Item #2.3 on your meePng Agenda of August 26, 2025. I expect to address you in person at the meePng, but three minutes is just too short a Pme for such a complicated issue the CondiPonal LeOer of Map Revision (CLOMR) applicaPon and the demoliPon of Building Bridge 2 (BB2).

The following is a liOle about my background. I’ve lived in San Anselmo for 46 years and have had my architectural pracPce on San Anselmo Ave. for almost 50 years. Over the years, I’ve had the honor to design several addiPons, remodels, homes, restaurants and low-income senior housing projects in San Anselmo. I’m also a former Planning Commissioner, four term Council Member and Mayor.

Needless to say, my enPre career has been spent working with our community and perfecPng our built environment.

I strongly ask that you vote against the CLOMR applicaPon for the San Anselmo Flood ReducPon (SAFRR). This is the worst case of rewriPng a law because it does not agree with what you want to do. When I was a young architect, Geotechnical Engineer Jay Nelson of Earth Science Consultants took me aside to explain the rules of the road and in parPcular, how FEMA works. My design for a new house showed a wet season only swale being relocated around the house. Mr. Nelson pointed out that no one is allowed to relocate drainage swales or in any way increase or change the flow of water in a creek or a stream. His memorable comment was that one or more of the people downstream of the relocated swale would say, “we never had any problem with flooding unPl that architect changed the swale!” He further pointed out that I would be responsible for any real or imagined downstream water damage for the rest of my career.

This situaPon is exactly the same as what Mr. Nelson taught me. CLOMR is aOempPng to change FEMA’s rules about downstream flooding. It will not work and will only give aOorneys more ammuniPon against the Town of San Anselmo the next Pme there is a flood. Your decision could cost the Town of San Anselmo 317
millions aeer the next flood. These floods come about every 20-25 years so the next one may not be that far away since the last one was in 2005.

The following are addiPonal reasons to vote against CLOMR’s rule change to allow the destrucPon of BB2:

1. CLOMR and County of Marin Public Works Dept. have grossly underesPmated the number of houses that are affected by removing BB2. As an architect I inspected several badly flooded houses downstream of BB2 aeer the 2005 New Years Eve flood. The houses were located on Sylvan Way, Shady Lane (badly flooded) and Kent Ave. in Keniield (the house was totaled and a new house was built on the lot). This is only a small proporPon of the Ross Valley and there will be many more damaged during the next flood, than the handful of homes flooded as noted by the County of Marin Public Works Dept.

2. The purpose of CLOMR’s request to change FEMA’s rules is to demolish BB2.

This will be a great contributor to downstream flooding and future lawsuits to the Town of San Anselmo. To remove BB2 the most recent esPmate is $11,000,000+ Since none of this makes fiscal sense the County of Marin has created a dialogue that BB2 is a dangerous structure and needs to be removed for public safety.

Nothing could be further from the truth. There are four engineer’s reports on BB2 and all of them say for a fracPon of the cost (ca$300,00) BB2 can be made secure permanently. Only one report implies if BB2 was full of people and there was a major earthquake it could collapse. This line is at the very end of the report and appears to have been added to strengthen the argument. The use of the word ‘could’ and not the definiPve ‘would’ creates a level of ambiguity in the report.

From my professional experience I would much rather ride out an earthquake on BB2 than in the San Anselmo Council Chamber!

3. For a few years during the pandemic, BB2 was open to the public and was used as a park. On Friday aeernoons high school kids would show off their music skills.

People would use BB2 for lunch or a pizza and beer. It was very popular with the community, too popular, so the County of Marin in the dark of night put up a 6’-0” high fence around it. This was based on the one line in one of the four engineer’s report ambiguously saying it ‘could’ collapse in an earthquake. This contrary to the fact that the County put a strain gage on the bridge to show if it was moving and a danger to the public. Turns out the strain gage has shown no movement at all. The 318
structure of BB2 is very stout. BB2 was used as the structure for a gas staPon for years. Cars and trucks would drive on it to fill up for many years unPl the garage was remodeled into much lighter commercial spaces in the early 1970’s.

4. The demoliPon of BB2 will be a disaster. One cannot just dump tons of concrete into a creek. Removal of BB2 will have to be done carefully with a structure built under it to catch the tons of concrete debris that will not be allowed by FEMA to end up in the creek. Much of San Anselmo Ave. near BB2 will have to be closed for several months for all of the heavy diesel equipment that will have to be brought in for demoliPon and for trucking away the debris. It will be a mess on San Anselmo Ave. and will have a negaPve effect on store owners and shoppers.

5. Several of the beauPful redwoods on the Center Ave. side of BB2 will have to be removed. There is no way the redwoods will be stable aeer BB2 and its retaining walls have been removed. Why didn’t anyone think of the destabilizing of the redwood grove with the bridge gone?

6. The removal of BB2 will not create meaningful flood reducPon in San Anselmo.

Downtown San Anselmo is the pinch point of 27 square miles of tributary area for flooding. Any reducPon in flooding will be a small fracPon of an inch if at all. There is also a building just to the west of BB2 that equally obstructs flood waters. Yet there are no plans to remove the commercial building at 638, 702 and 708 San Anselmo Ave.

I can’t think of any posiPves in the demoliPon of BB2. A wonderful community asset will be destroyed at great cost ($11,000,000+) while creaPng a huge future liability for our community. For $300,000, BB2 will make a great park for our community or for $11,000,000+ BB2 will be turned into two sidewalks, liability and noisy mess during demoliPon.

Please vote no on CLOMR and the destrucPon of BB2, a real community asset.

Thank you for your Pme and aOenPon. I’m available if you have any quesPons.

Subject: Request for Adequate Mitigation Measures and CLOMR Review – San Anselmo Creek BB2 Removal Project
Dear Marin County Flood Control District and FEMA Region IX, I am writing regarding the proposed BB2 Removal Project and the associated Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) submitted by Marin County. As a property owner whose home lies within the regulatory floodway and AE flood zone, and who has been identified as requiring mitigation due to a modeled increase in the 100-year Base Flood Elevation (BFE), I have serious concerns.

The County’s acknowledgment that mitigation is needed for my home confirms that the project causes an adverse flood impact. According to 44 CFR §60.3(d)(3) and Marin County Code §23.09.038, no rise in BFE is permitted within the regulatory floodway unless full compliance with §65.12 is achieved, including mitigation of all structural impacts.

While I acknowledge that wet floodproofing may reduce certain forms of flood damage, it does not maintain pre-project conditions if the Base Flood Elevation at my structure is rising. FEMA Technical Bulletin 7 explicitly states that wet floodproofing does not eliminate the exposure of the structure to flooding, and FEMA’s CLOMR approval under 44 CFR §65.12 requires that all adverse impacts are mitigated, not simply reduced. The mitigation measures proposed for my property do not appear to meet the standards set forth by FEMA or the County’s own floodplain management ordinance.

This project’s compliance with 44 CFR §65.12, §60.3(d)(3), and Marin County Code §23.09.038 hinges on the adequacy of mitigation for structures affected by the BFE increase. The proposed measures for my home—limited to wet floodproofing (flood vents and partial electrical elevation)—do not constitute full mitigation under FEMA or local standards, particularly given the following:

Wet floodproofing does not eliminate exposure to floodwaters. It is a damage-reduction technique, not a protective measure that restores pre-project conditions. (Source: FEMA TB-7, 2013, p. 2)
FEMA requires that all adverse impacts from a project causing a BFE rise be fully mitigated as a condition for CLOMR approval. (Source: 44 CFR §65.12(b)) 321
No rise in flood levels is permitted in the regulatory floodway unless these mitigation requirements are satisfied in full. (Source: 44 CFR §60.3(d)(3)) Marin County’s own ordinance (Chapter 23.09.038) mirrors this requirement, stating:
“Prohibit encroachments...within the regulatory floodway unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses...that the proposed encroachment would not result in any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge.” I request written documentation demonstrating that the mitigation proposed for my property and my neighbors’ properties fully satisfies FEMA requirements under 44 CFR §65.12 for CLOMR approval, specifically:

1. A re-evaluation of the sufficiency of the mitigation measures currently proposed for my home, which include only the installation of additional crawlspace flood vents and the elevation of some electrical boxes.

2. Engineering documentation that certifies the current mitigation measures will eliminate all adverse impacts associated with the BFE rise at my home.

3. A description of the mitigation alternatives considered, and why more robust measures (e.g., anchoring retrofits, full utility elevation, raising homes, flood walls, etc.) were not proposed.

4. Clarification as to whether my home’s foundation is currently anchored, and if not, why anchoring is not part of the mitigation strategy.

5. If the County asserts that the proposed wet floodproofing measures restore pre-project conditions, written documentation and engineering justification showing that post-project flood depth, duration, and velocity at my structure are equivalent to pre-project conditions, and that the structure’s risk profile is not increased.

6. Assurance that the CLOMR will not be approved unless and until full mitigation—compliant with all applicable federal and local standards—is provided and documented.

I respectfully request a formal written response within 30 days.

Hello Council Members,
I am a member of the San Anselmo racial equity committee and I am writing to recommend and endorse Cassandra Rene Lopez's application to join the committee. I have read the applications, and while I have worked in equity,  inclusion, and belonging in many capacities, knowing Ms. Lopez's abilities, I feel that she is the ideal candidate for this position.  While our committee supports varied marginalized populations, it is a racial equity committee and should appoint as many people of color as possible that can bring forward an awareness of this lived experience in San Anselmo.

Please feel free to reach out should you have any questions and for your consideration of this nomination.

Thank you,

Members of the Town Council,
You may think that you aren’t the deciders of the fate of Building Bridge 2 and the surrounding redwoods, but you are.  Maybe not tonight; soon you will decide if you support or disapprove of the Letter of Concurrence to FEMA and, soon thereafter, you will decided if you approve or deny the County’s permit for BB2 demolition.  In order for you to make an informed and fair minded decision, I want you to listen closely to what is NOT stated in the County Flood District’s SAFRR update:

BENEFITS:  San Anselmo’s Flood Risk Reduction benefits from the SAFRR project are restricted to the Ten Year Flood only.  In addition, the reduction in damages or losses (deduced from what is unclear) is restricted to 14% off the TEN YEAR flood—14%. There is no remediate reduction in flood levels in the 25 or 100 Year floods. This alone would be a shameful return on a $58 million dollar investment if it weren’t for the well-documented fact that we DON'T HAVE Ten Year floods in the Ross Valley.  We flood approximately every 25 years and it is always calibrated at the 100 Year level--2005, 1982, 1955 (see link below*).  There were some repetitive flooding event in the late 30’s and 40’s, but those were fixed by the novel action of clearing the creek.

Just to be clear—through removal of BB2, San Anselmo experiences a six inch reduction off the current inundation depth of a couple of feet in a 25 Year flood and a five inch reduction off the current inundation depth of approximately four feet in a 100 Year flood.  Everyone knows that four inches of water in your drywall is the same as four feet to your contractor and insurance company.  BB2 removal creates a 4 inch water RISE in the 25+ floods, hence FEMA’s mitigation requirement (see 2018/23 FEIR table below for data.) Why the CLOMR is focussed on the 100 Year flood but the County can only deliver benefits in the Ten Year (at 14%) is beyond me. And, unlike the constant rejiggering, re- mapping and re-surveying of downstream properties to avoid mitigation requirements, The County never bothered to conducted a survey on any of the identified upstream
properties.

MITIGATION:  In the CLOMR, the County offers something called Wet Floodproofing as mitigation to the downstream property owners whose homes are impacted by a four inch water rise from the removal of BB2.  Wet Floodproofing DOES NOT meet the standard for mitigation stated by FEMA.  FEMA Technical Bulletin 7 explicitly states that Wet Floodproofing does not eliminate the exposure of the structure to flooding, and FEMA’s CLOMR approval under 44 CFR §65.12 requires that all adverse impacts are mitigated, not simply reduced. By removing BB2, the County is sending 4 inches of water against houses which, with one exception, have never flooded before.  THE COUNTY IS CREATING A FLOOD THREAT AT DOWNSTREAM HOUSES.  How do you know this? Because one of the Wet Floodproofing options is to punch holes for flood vents in people’s understructures to let heretofore nonexistent flood waters through. If you wet proof a house and flood it, you still flood it. It’s not the 324
same house, and the changed status is reflected in the overall devaluation of the house.  Hence the need for actual mitigation.  Read Jenny Mota’s excellent letter below.*** Why is the County only offering Wet Floodproofing as a mitigation option?  Because the County only has $400,000 for mitigation.

KNOWN THREE FOOT DISCREPANCY IN WATER SURFACE ELEVATION BETWEEN CLOMR’S OLD 1D HYDRAULIC and HYDROLOGIC MODELS AND MORE CURRENT COUNTY-EXTOLLED 1D/2D HYBRID MODEL:

Enough said.

MONEY:  The County Flood District has a $2.7 million Department of Water Resources grant that comes due in July 2026 (according  to Chris Blunk at the Ross TC meeting)  and will be revoked—or have to be paid back, if that is the case—if the County does not show progress on the CLOMR and the SAFRR project.  Do not discount that in the County's avidity to get on with the timeline.

A few things not addressed in the CLOMR update:

CLOMR INTEGRITY:  FEMA doesn’t input the data into the CLOMR. The data and info come from the County.

FEMA reviews and check the boxes.

LIABILITY AND LITIGATION:  Guaranteed downstream lawsuits. The Town of San Anselmo is not indemnified by the County.  The County call the shots, we take the liability hit.

REDWOODS:  Read Roy Leggitt’s objective external arborist report entitled Creek Park.  You cannot do this project without destabilizing the Redwood roots, causing trees to come down.  In addition, some trees will have to be removed to do the project.

SAFETY:  BB2 is not in danger of collapse and the strain gages have not moved one iota. See the multiple engineer's reports for the Town on BB2.****
IMPACT ON DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES:  Severe, especially if a stop work order due to lawsuits is slapped on the project.

CONSTITUENT OPINIONS ON CREEK PARK PROJECT:  Voters made it clear (by almost 20%) that they want to keep the original park, platform included. You could not find a better market survey.

Pease keeps these comments in mind while listening to tonight’s briefing. Reference material at base of email.

With Great Appreciation,

Subject: Request for Adequate Mitigation Measures and CLOMR Review – San Anselmo Creek BB2 Removal Project
Dear Marin County Flood Control District and FEMA Region IX, I am writing regarding the proposed BB2 Removal Project and the associated Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) submitted by Marin County. As a property owner whose home lies within the regulatory floodway and AE flood zone, and who has been identified as requiring mitigation due to a modeled increase in the 100-year Base Flood Elevation (BFE), I have serious concerns.

The County’s acknowledgment that mitigation is needed for my home confirms that the project causes an adverse flood impact. According to 44 CFR §60.3(d)(3) and Marin County Code §23.09.038, no rise in 326
BFE is permitted within the regulatory floodway unless full compliance with §65.12 is achieved, including mitigation of all structural impacts.

While I acknowledge that wet floodproofing may reduce certain forms of flood damage, it does not maintain pre-project conditions if the Base Flood Elevation at my structure is rising. FEMA Technical Bulletin 7 explicitly states that wet floodproofing does not eliminate the exposure of the structure to flooding, and FEMA’s CLOMR approval under 44 CFR §65.12 requires that all adverse impacts are mitigated, not simply reduced. The mitigation measures proposed for my property do not appear to meet the standards set forth by FEMA or the County’s own floodplain management ordinance.

RE: Creek Park redwoods, San Anselmo
Date: 7/23/25

ARBORIST REPORT
Assignment
• Review construction documents.
• Visit Creek Park to assess trees and site conditions. • Provide an Arborist Report of findings and recommendations.

Overview
Creek Park contains many trees, including numerous coast redwoods, white alders and ornamental species. The property has a natural reach of San Anselmo creek running roughly from north to south. A concrete structure spans the creek that was built as a gas station and auto repair shop. The current project intends to remove the structure and install new flood control structures and vegetation in its place.

Trees that experience construction impacts, and particularly root losses, are likely to become hazards. Current plans show that a minimum of 13 redwood trees and 4 alders at this site will experience significant root losses, are likely to become hazards and will need to be removed. Most of the remaining trees in the park will experience significant and harmful impacts due to access and staging for the construction.

The attached photographs are of the site and the redwood trees that will require removal based on the design. Sheet G-7 by Stetson Engineers identifies tree locations and trunk diameters, and the attached markup shows tree protection zones for these 13 redwood trees.

Document Review
Tree Protection Plan Sheet
The tree protection zone (TPZ) diameter is 20 times the trunk diameter. All trees are good candidates for preservation based on their pre-construction condition.

Tree protection requires use of fencing, trunk protection and root buffers where fencing cannot be installed, protection of soil and roots wherever staging and equipment access are required, and the installation of temporary irrigation and mulch. None of these tree protective 329

The proposed “tree protection plan” simply states to stop work if 1-inch or larger roots are encountered. There are many roots of 1 inch diameter and larger visible right now. By this specification, excavation work could never start.

Sheet G-5, GEI Consultants, September 15, 2023
The plan shows water and sanitary sewer lines and indicates “Remove water, sewer or other conduit hanging below bridge deck or buried below structure.” These utilities run parallel to the east edge of the concrete structure and are within the structural root zone of the trees.

Removal of utilities cannot be completed in this location since this would destabilize the trees and create hazardous conditions for park users. Recommendation: Abandon buried utilities in place.

The plan specifies “Demo grade beam wall”, and “Demo concrete structure (dimensions approximate)”, and improperly shows the curb next to the trees as below grade when it actually extends about 1 foot above grade. Per plans, “Dimensions unknown. 2-ft maximum demolition depth”, and “Protect (E) trees and roots exposed in soil back of wall”. The plan is unclear as to what is meant by “wall”. Per tree protection industry standards and based on the trunk diameter of the adjacent redwood trees, all roots in back of the wall nearest to the grade beams need to be protected, and per the scale of the drawing this would be to a distance of approximately 12 feet. Recommendation: protect and preserve all roots and associated soil at the back of the eastern-most wall, or at an average distance of 12 to 15 feet from the 6 adjacent redwood trees.
