4 TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO
PROCLAMATION FU/26

A PROCLAMATION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO ADOPTING A POLICY FOR THE USE OF REVENUES GENERATED BY THE 2007 ROSS VALLEY FLOOD ZONE 9 FEE AND 1965 AD VALOREM TAXES, ESTABLISHING MAINTENCE AND

INCREASED HEIGHT OF LEVEES IN THE TIDAL ZONE AS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY USE OF FUNDS WHEREAS, on the first few days of 2026, the lower reaches of the Corte Madera Creek experienced extensive flooding, damage, emergency services delays, drastic traƯic delays and at times complete closure of Highway 101 and damned if we didn’t make national news due to the high tides; we all got calls from friends all over the country asking how could this ever happen; and; WHEREAS, the Town of San Anselmo voted overwhelmingly to Withdraw from the Flood Control District, Zone 9 in 2024, and is still obligated to continue to pay flood fees until the end of the term in 2027 that will likely be wasted on a bad project: BB2; and WHEREAS, the remaining 2007 Flood Fee funds and future 1965 Flood Tax income are not suƯicient to maintain the 1965 works nor work proposed at BB2 nor recent 2007 flood fee work completed, it appears to most people with calculators and two fingers understand that the current projects if implemented, will result in the liabilities and obligations exceeding and significantly greater than the fee and tax income; Yep, a financial disaster of own making; and; WHEREAS, a report from 2019 suggests that near future tidal flooding could be two and a half feet higher than we experienced this last January; Yep, TWO AND A HALF FEET y’all, by 2050 and; WHEREAS, this council advises the Flood District to “Just stop BB2,… really, send the money downstream” as the best use of all funds is likely the considerable eƯort to start designs to maintain and increase the height of the levees in the tidal reaches of the Corte Madera Creek as it creates a future that will be more economically sound community as well as improving public safety and other essential services ; and

NOW, THEREFORE, THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO DOES PROCLAIM, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

It shall be the policy of the San Anselmo Town Council to encourage, cajole, beg, use reasonably civil but really f-ing clear language with the Flood District and Board of Supervisors to: immediately prioritize all flood fee and ad valorem taxes to the tidal reaches of Corte Madera Creek as it is in the interests of every citizen up and down the Ross Valley. Simply… because it makes a hell of lot more sense than where the Flood District is taking us now.

IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED that the Town Council of the Town of San Anslemo introduced and regularly adopted the foregoing Proclamation at a regular meeting held on January 27 2026, by the following vote:

2.1 Review and Approve the Special Event Application- Live on the Avenue 2026 Director O‘Grady and CMPA Captain Kahlili presented the staff report and gave a PowerPoint presentation. Staff answered questions from the Council regarding the purpose of mobile barriers; the closing of Tunstead Avenue; what time the two-hour street closure would begin; the number of cars towed last year; how much it would cost to put a “boot” on a car; if vehicle owners have to be notified that his or her car is being towed; if it would be more efficient to eliminate the phone notification before a tow is done; enforcement for pedestrians using the street; if the event could go later such as 10:00 p.m.; what the $116,000 staff time represents; if the staff time would increase if there were more nights; if mobile barriers would be placed only in the street; the use of natural barriers.

Mayor Burdo opened the Public Hearing.

Mr. Greg Larriman loves the event and supported the road closure.

Ms. Barbara Nazari, business owner, would like the street opened later- 4:00 p.m. or 4:30 p.m. is too early. She asked for help with the parking in the neighborhoods.

Elizabeth supports Option B. The event has an overwhelmingly positive impact to the community. She was not in favor of starting later.

Ms. Megan Tuggle supports Option B. Kudos to the Recreation Department for its great work and creativity.

Steven loves the event- it represents the values that are often talked about. He is impressed with the budget- this event is a great deal!
Daniel supports Option B and this cool event.

Ms. Laura Allen stated Option A would be tough for kids and could create a safety issue. A car that is parked longer than two hours should be towed.

Kyle stated this event is awesome and he loves the volunteer opportunities for the youth. He supports Option B.

Mohammad is from Sacramento and stated San Anselmo is beautiful. He suggested the Town organize a Community Photographic Contest.

Alex stated she wants her kids to be more “free range” and the event is perfect for them. There should be consistency between what is done on Friday and Saturday.

Mr. Jeff Grenkie supports Option B and the idea of a Photo Contest. The event builds friendships and helps the businesses.

Mr. Pat Townsley was concerned about public safety and stated something can go wrong. He suggested parking Public Works trucks on both ends of the street.

Adam, a new business owner, supports Option B.

Mr. Kat Alexander, Chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission, thanked the Council for continuing this discussion. The Commission received comments in support of continuing the event as it currently operates.

Stefan, one of the producers of the event, supports Option B.

Ms. Ryan LaFrenz, member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, strongly supported continuing the event in its current format and Option B.

Mayor Burdo closed the Public Hearing.

Councilmember Burke supports Option B. In the future she would like to consider holding the event at a different location, such as Memorial Park, on one of the nights. Three cars being towed is not much. She liked the idea of parking trucks at the end of the street instead of using the mobile barriers which are expensive. She supported better parking enforcement on the side streets and the budget. She could go either way on the idea of a parade.

Councilmember Kullaway stated she liked the Photo Contest idea, Option B, the budget, the idea of trucks used as barriers, and was ambivalent about a parade. She recommended paying the musicians more.

Vice Mayor Walker supported Option B and would leave the idea of a parade to staff. She would like to have a 3-Year Plan.

Councilmember Schlesinger stated he would like to keep the event exactly as it is. He supports the 4:30 p.m. closure.

Mayor Burdo stated Option B was the right choice. He discussed some of the ideas for improving traffic/parking on the arterial roads.

M/s, Walker/Burke Motion to accept the Parks and Recreation Commission and staff’s recommendation around Option B, Continuation of current framework. Fridays and Saturdays from June 20, 2026 through September 12, 2026. Full street closure and Music at Town Hall and Creek Park. Full programming on the Avenue. Street Closures Fridays 9 4

10 Item #: 1.2

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #:1.2
MEETING DATE: January 27, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Revenue and Expenditure Reports, December 2025 FROM: Jeff Zuba, Finance & Admin Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: That Town Council consider approving the monthly year-to-date Revenue and Expenditure Reports and corresponding activity for the period ending through December 31, 2025.

SUMMARY
Every reporting period end, the Town of San Anselmo presents to the Town Council its operations as shown on the Revenue and Expenditure reports for discussion and approval.

BACKGROUND
The Revenue and Expenditure reports are year-to-date summaries of revenues and expenditures from the Town’s financial system (Tyler Incode’) for both the current as well as the prior corresponding fiscal year. These reports include the General Fund’s operations given that most of the Town-level operational activities are processed through the General Fund either directly or indirectly. This approval is to be obtained once a month within the fiscal year.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The revenue and expenditure data through December 31, 2025, is a compilation of all operating activity that is year-to-date for the current and prior fiscal year. These reports are sourced directly from the Town’s financial system, of which a corresponding analysis has been carried out by identifying the key trends the Town Council should take note of.
11 Item #: 1.2
Revenues
Overall, through the December 2025 reporting period, the Town’s general fund revenue increased its base relative to the prior year by $0.316M. A majority of the Town’s revenue is collected at specific times.

As shown above, the Town’s overall revenue base increased by $0.316M due to the following:
 The Town receives property tax disbursements from the County of Marin in December (55%), April (40%), and June (5%). Property Tax revenue increased by $0.360M. The Town budgeted a 3.78% increase in property taxes in fiscal year 2025-2026 and is right on track.
 The Town receives disbursements monthly from the State for Sales Tax. The collections for the fiscal year 2025-26 have been comparable to the prior year and remain on track with the budgeted amount.
 Revenue from Licenses & Permits increased by $0.067M compared to the previous period, due to a reduction in construction activity in the Town from the cost of goods and services, economy, or just the normal slowdown during the fall/winter season. There is also a slight decrease in business license collections for fiscal year 2025-2026 compared to FY2024-2025.
 Intergovernmental revenues decreased by $0.063M compared to the previous period due to receiving $0.065M Leap grant for the Housing Element from the State in FY24-25 and no similar grant in FY25-26.
 Other Fees have increased by $0.068M compared to the previous period due to an increase in resale inspections and planning fees.

As far as the other revenue streams, these changes either decreased or remained flat year-over-year resulting in an immaterial change.

Expenditures
Overall, through the December 2025 reporting period end, the Town’s General Fund expenditures have increased by $0.523M compared to the prior year. This is primarily from increases in compensation, retirement, outside services, and debt service. All other activity is either flat year-over-year or nets to an immaterial change, all of which are within management’s expectations.

12 Item #: 1.2
As shown above, the Town’s expenditures base overall increased by $0.523M, which is driven by compensation, retirement, outside services – public safety, and debt service:
 Compensation (Salaries & Wages and Benefits) increased by $0.327M 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 upon the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 2025-2028, vacation cashout and sick time roll overs per the MOU and health insurance premiums.  Retirement increased by $0.132M 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 $0.094M compared to the previous period due to lower allocated costs for Animal Control Services with the County and Library Marinet Membership, no contracted building inspector, and fewer plan check fees for third party consultants.
 Outside Services – Public Safety increased by $0.370M compared to the previous fiscal year due to payments for Public Safety JPA’s, Central Marin Police Authority, and Ross Valley Fire Department. These increases are in line with the budgeted amounts set by the Police Council and Fire Board.  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 $0.090M 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.
 Transfers Out decreased by $0.050M compared to the previous period due to no budgeted transfers to the Parks Capital Improvement Fund in fiscal year 2025- 2026 because of budget constraints.

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

Overall, the General Fund is in good financial standing for 6 months through fiscal year 2025-2026. We remain on track with our projections and only see a couple of items that will be discussed at our mid-year budget review meeting.

MEASURE J
Revenues
Overall, through the December 2025 reporting period, the Town’s Measure J Fund revenue increased its base relative to the prior year by $162.  The Town receives disbursements monthly from the State for Sales Tax.

Expenditures
Overall, through the December 2025 reporting period end, the Town’s Measure J expenditures have increased by $0.948M compared to the prior year. This is primarily from increases in compensation, retirement, outside services, and construction. All other activity is either flat year-over-year or nets correspondingly to an immaterial change, all of which are within management’s expectations  Outside Services increased by $0.012M compared to the prior period due to Ross Valley Fire Department staffing costs, including a 3% COLA, 3% equity adjustment, and continued step increases for Firefighter/Paramedic personnel.  Construction increased by $0.918M compared to the previous period due to the Fire Station 20 Project and Isabel Cook Community Center Roof Project.

The grant funds will be used to cover the installation of a heat pump HVAC unit at the Library to demonstrate building decarbonization strategies and educate residents.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
To accept the grant funds and proceed with the project, the Town must execute a funding agreement with BayREN. The agreement outlines the grant terms, project deliverables, timeline, and compliance requirements.

Council authorization is required to designate the Director of Public Works, Sean Condry, as the authorized signatory on behalf of the Town for this funding agreement.

Approval of this action will allow staff to move forward with the project and satisfy BayREN's administrative requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT
The grant provides up to $100,000 in funding, reducing the Town’s funds allocated toward this project from $745,000 to $645,000.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The project is consistent with the General Plan under the action:

M1: Air, water, and noise pollution shall be prevented or minimized. 21 Item #: 1.3

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), as the project involves negligible or no expansion of the existing use of the existing public facility. The project is also exempt under CEQA Guideliese Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).

This project aligns with the following language in the Climate Action Plan:

E-7: Municipal Energy Efficiency Audit and Retrofits: Work with the Marin Energy Management Team to identify and implement energy efficiency projects in municipal buildings and facilities and electrification of existing building systems and equipment that use natural gas.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.1
MEETING DATE: January 27, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance Amendment to Title 10 “Planning and Zoning”, Section 10-3.302 “Land Use Regulation Table” and Section 10-3.1702 “Definitions” to Limit Live Entertainment in Restaurants to 10:00 p.m. and Require a Conditional Use Permit for Live Entertainment After 10:00 p.m; and make associated CEQA Exemption
Finding.

FROM: Community Development Department
RECOMMENDATION: Town Staff recommends the Town Council take the following actions:

1. Hold a public hearing on the Ordinance Amendments.

2. Make a motion to read the Ordinance Amendments by title only. Staff shall read the full title of the Ordinance Amendments.

3. Make a motion to pass the first reading of the Ordinance Amendments and waive the second reading. If passed, the Ordinance Amendments will return for a second reading and adoption at the next regular Town Council meeting. (Attachment 1.)

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The purpose of this item is to consider targeted amendments to the Zoning Code that would establish a clear time-based framework for live entertainment associated with restaurant uses.

As currently drafted, there is no time limit for such entertainment use, and staff is proposing to establish a time-based distinction between by-right entertainment and entertainment requiring a Conditional Use Permit.

Prior to 2023, restaurants in the C-2 and C-3 Zoning Districts were required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). With a CUP, the Town may approve a particular use if it can make findings that the use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of neighboring properties or the community at large. CUPs also allow the Town to impose conditions to mitigate potential impacts.
29 Item #: 2.1
In 2023, at the recommendation of the Economic Development Committee, the Town Council adopted an ordinance amendment to allow restaurant uses with entertainment by right in the C-2 and C-3 Zoning Districts, with the understanding that should issues arise, staff could return to the Council for an update and consideration of possible amendments to the Zoning Code.

As a small community, many restaurants in San Anselmo are located immediately adjacent to residential areas. There have recently been concerns that the noise from live entertainment impairs the quiet enjoyment of residential neighbors’ properties. At the same time, live entertainment is recognized as contributing to the economic viability, vibrancy, and sense of community within the Town.

To balance neighborhood compatibility with the Town’s economic and social vibrancy, staff proposes allowing live entertainment associated with restaurant uses by right until 10:00 p.m., and requiring a CUP for live entertainment occurring after 10:00 p.m. This approach is consistent with the Town’s Noise Ordinance, which applies more restrictive nighttime noise standards in commercial zones beginning at 10:00 p.m. (SAMC § 4-

7.104, limiting noise to 55 dBA in C-zones after 10:00 p.m.).

The proposed Ordinance Amendments would modify the Land Use Regulations Table (Table 3A) and the corresponding definition in Section 10-3.1702, as set forth in Attachment 1 (“Draft Ordinance”). Staff suggest that a clear, by-right 10:00 p.m. time limit will be straightforward to administer and enforce, while still allowing flexibility through the CUP process to address site-specific circumstances and mitigate late-night noise impacts through tailored conditions.

Please note that the proposed Amendment would not apply to bars or other drinking establishments such as Matteucci’s. Such businesses operate under CUPs.

At its January 12, 2026, regularly scheduled meeting, the Planning Commission voted 3–2 to recommend adoption of the Ordinance Amendments to the Town Council.

Commissioners discussed the need to protect residential neighbors from late-night noise while maintaining flexibility for restaurants and live entertainment, with differing views on whether the proposed time limit was the appropriate tool.

FISCAL IMPACT
No new fiscal impacts.

CEQA, GENERAL PLAN, AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN
The Ordinance Amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15061(b)(3) (the “common sense” exemption) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance Amendments may have a significant effect on the environment, since the timing of entertainment activities does not affect the environment, and the Amendments do not authorize new development, expand existing uses, or increase the intensity of activity.
30 Item #: 2.1
The proposed Ordinance Amendments are consistent with the General Plan Land Use Objectives because they maintain the economic viability of the Town while protecting the Town’s residential and neighborhood environment. The Climate Action Plan is not implicated.

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

SECTION 1: The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated as findings herein.

SECTION 2: The Ordinance Amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15061(b)(3) (the “common sense” exemption) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance Amendments may have a significant effect on the environment, since the timing of entertainment activities does not affect the environment, and the Amendments do not authorize new development, expand existing uses, or increase the intensity of activity.

SECTION 3: General Plan Consistency Finding. The Ordinance Amendments are consistent with the General Plan Land Use Objectives because they maintain the economic viability of the Town while protecting the Town’s residential and neighborhood environment.

SECTION 4: Ordinance Amendments. The following are changes and amendments to the Town of San Anselmo Municipal Code Title 10 “Planning and Zoning”, Section 10-

3.302 “Land Use Regulation Table” and Section 10-3.1702 “Definitions”. New language in underline, deleted language in strikeout. Amendments shall be renumbered as appropriate if necessary. Language in the applicable Section not included here remains unchanged.

Section 10-3.302 Land Use Regulations Table.

The Land Use Regulations Table, referred to as Table 3A, lists uses of the land and indicates whether or not each use is permitted (P), conditionally permitted (C), or not permitted (-) in each Zoning District. Uses not specifically listed in the Land Use Regulations Table are specifically prohibited unless a Use Determination by the Planning Director is made which finds the use not specifically listed is similar to another use permitted or conditionally permitted within the District.

The Residential Housing Opportunities (R-HO), Public Facilities (PF), Open Space (OS), Preliminary Planned Development (PPD), and Specific Planned Development (SPD) Districts are not included on the Land Use Regulations Matrix. The R-HO, PPD, and SPD Districts are overlay Districts and generally allow for either higher residential densities or unique or special mixing of uses on one (1) site. The R-HO District is not yet designated on the zoning map and, therefore, is not currently regulated. The PPD and SPD Districts are regulated by Article 9 of this chapter of the San Anselmo Municipal Code, respectively. The PF District does not include any lands not currently developed with major public facilities. Any expansion of the PF District would be preceded by the Town's acquisition of the land for a specific use or purpose, a General 33 3
Plan Amendment, and a zone change. The OS District is limited to passive recreation uses. See also Title 11, Chapter 1 "Regulations for Parks and Playgrounds."

Section 10-3.1702 Definitions.

The following words and phrases, when used in the context of this chapter, shall have the following meanings:
"Restaurants" means establishments that prepare ing and sell ing food for consumption (either on- or off-site premises) consumption and may provide entertainment that is secondary and subordinate to the restaurant use such as live music (including amplified music), dancing, or other live performances. Entertainment is allowed until 10:00PM, and after 10:00PM only with a Conditional Use Permit. “Restaurants” under this definition includes sit-down restaurants with table service, restaurants with counter service and seating, and restaurants that offer take out so long as restaurant seating is also offered.

Exhibit “A”
Ordinance Amendments
The following are changes and amendments to the Town of San Anselmo Municipal Code Title 10 “Planning and Zoning”, Section 10-3.302 “Land Use Regulation Table” and Section 10-3.1702 “Definitions”. New language in underline, deleted language in strikeout. Amendments shall be renumbered as appropriate if necessary. Language in the applicable Section not included here remains unchanged.

1. Section 10-3.302 Land Use Regulations Table.

The Residential Housing Opportunities (R-HO), Public Facilities (PF), Open Space (OS), Preliminary Planned Development (PPD), and Specific Planned Development (SPD) Districts are not included on the Land Use Regulations Matrix. The R-HO, PPD, and SPD Districts are overlay Districts and generally allow for either higher residential densities or unique or special mixing of uses on one (1) site. The R-HO District is not yet designated on the zoning map and, therefore, is not currently regulated. The PPD and SPD Districts are regulated by Article 9 of this chapter of the San Anselmo Municipal Code, respectively. The PF District does not include any lands not currently developed with major public facilities. Any expansion of the PF District would be preceded by the Town's acquisition of the land for a specific use or purpose, a General Plan Amendment, and a zone change. The OS District is limited to passive recreation uses. See also Title 11, Chapter 1 "Regulations for Parks and Playgrounds."

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.2
MEETING DATE: January 27, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Review The List of Town Council Committee Assignments and Make Appointments for 2026
FROM: Serge Avila, Town Clerk
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Town Council review the list of Council committee assignments and make appointments for 2026 in conformance with the rotation process established by Resolution No. 2025-4574.

BACKGROUND
Town Councilmembers serve on a variety of boards, commissions and committees, some of which are internal to the Town and some of which are regional (collectively, “committees”). Each year the Council reviews the list of committee appointments and makes new appointments as desired or needed. In 2025, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-4574 (attachment 2), establishing a rotation process by which Town Council members can serve on committees.

The rotation process is based on seniority, which is determined by continuous number of years in office. As spelled out in the Resolution, if Town Council members were first elected in the same election or have served for the same period of time, the member with the higher percentage of votes in the most recent election will be designated the senior member for purposes of seniority. The current Councilmember seniority is as follows:

Councilmember
Name
First Elected Year Number of Years
in Office
Vote Count
(Elected in the
Same Election)
Steve Burdo 2019
Re-elected 2022
7 Eileen Burke 2020
Re-elected 2024
6 40
Item #: 2.2
Tarrell Kullaway 2022 3
Chantel Walker 2024 1 3,453
Yoav Schlesinger 2024 1 3,389
Resolution 2025-4574 provides that the committee assignment process will be carried out as follows:

1. First Round - Council members will select the committees they desire based on seniority. The Council member with the most seniority will get first choice with the second most senior Council member choosing second, etc. (1-5). In this case, Mayor Burdo will select first and Council member Schlesinger will select last. a. A Council member may not select the same committee for more than three years, unless:
i. The Council member has been apponted as an officer of the committee; or
ii. The Council member has an integral role in labor negotiations or another complex process on the committee.
b. After leaving a committee they’ve served on for three or more consecutive years, a Council member must remain off the committee for at least two years.

2. Second Round - Council members will select the committees they desire based on seniority. The Council member with the least seniority will get first choice with the fourth most senior Council member choosing second, etc. (5-1). In this case, Council member Schlesinger will select first and Mayor Burdo will select last.

The following Council members have served for three years or more on the following committees and must therefore, give up the committee assignment for two years, unless one of the exceptions listed in the Resolution applies.
