STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 1.3
MEETING DATE: June 9, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Resolutions Establishing Town of San Anselmo 2026- 2027 Tax Rates for Municipal Services Tax, Pension
Override Tax, Measure G Debt Service Tax, Special
Library Services Tax, and Ross Valley Paramedic
Tax; and finding the Council’s actions exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub.
Res. Code § 21080(b)(8))
FROM: Jeff Zuba, Finance & Admin Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council adopt the attached resolutions and find that establishing these tax rates is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under California Public Resources Code § 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Guidelines section 15273.
1. The Municipal Services Tax for 2026-2027 fiscal year at the rate of $78.00 per living unit and per 1,500 square feet of non-residential structure (Attachment 1); and
2. The Pension Override Tax for the 2026-2027 fiscal year at the rate of 5.9 cents per $100 of assessed valuation (Attachment 2); and
3. The Measure G Debt Service Tax rates for 2026-2027 fiscal year at 0.4 cents per $100 of assessed valuation for the Series 2020 Measure G bonds (Attachment 3); and
4. The Special Library Services Tax for the 2026-2027 fiscal year at the rate of $74.70 per real estate parcel (Attachment 4); and
5. The Ross Valley Paramedic Tax for the 2026-2027 fiscal year at a rate of $103.50 per taxable living unit or per 1,500 square feet of structure developed parcel in non-residential use (Attachment 5).
BACKGROUND
The Municipal Services and Pension Override taxes have been levied at the rates reflected in the attached resolutions since the 1987-88 fiscal year. These taxes are 17 Item #: 1.3
necessary to provide for the level of municipal services currently provided by the Town and to meet the Town’s obligation to the Public Employees’ Retirement System.
The Measure G levy is necessary to pay the debt service on the general obligation bonds sold by the Town to pay for improvements to streets, drainage, and the library, as authorized by the San Anselmo voters on June 6, 1995. The levy includes debt service from the 2020 bond series, which is the result of refinancing the 2003 bond series in July 2020. In addition to the bonds referenced in the resolution, the 2011 bonds matured in August 2025 and the debt from those bonds has been paid in full; accordingly, the 2020 bonds are accounted for in this year’s tax rate. The Measure G tax levy is 0.4 cents per $100 of assessed valuation.
The Special Library Services Tax was approved by voters in November 2022 for the purpose of enhancing library services. The attached resolution reflects the 3% cost of living increase approved as part of the measure, which results in an increase of $2.16 from the 2026-2027 rate.
The Ross Valley Paramedic Tax was approved by the voters in June 2022 for paramedic services. The rate for 2026-2027 is $103.50 per taxable living unit or per 1,500 square feet of structure-developed parcels with non-residential uses.
These resolutions must be sent to the County Tax Assessor annually for placement on the property tax bills.
FISCAL IMPACT
The funds that will be raised by the above taxes are projected to be:
Municipal Services Tax $ 448,117
Pension Override Tax $3,289,650
Measure G Debt Service, Series 2020 $ 198,127
Special Library Services Tax $ 334,445
There is no fiscal impact to the Town with respect to the Ross Valley Paramedic Tax because the tax proceeds go directly to the Ross Valley Paramedic Authority.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
Adoption of the attached resolutions establishing tax rates for fiscal year 2026-27 are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification, or approval of rates or other charges by the Town which the Town finds are for the purpose of meeting operating expenses, meeting financial reserve needs, or obtaining funds for capital projects. (Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21080(b)(8); see also 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15273).

Key Responsibilities:
Plan Check: Review construction plans to ensure compliance with California Building Codes and local amendments. Complex projects may involve coordination with the Planning Division, Engineering Division, Ross Valley Fire Department, and third-party plan check consultants.
Building Permit Issuance: Calculate permit fees, issue permits following plan approval and verify compliance with all requirements before final inspection. Building Inspection: Conduct inspections to ensure construction meets approved plans and code requirements.
Public Information: Provide guidance and support to residents, contractors, and developers regarding building regulations and processes.
Permit Plan Check. Figure 7 shows the number of building permits received, reviewed, and issued by the Building Division during the reporting period. A total of 208 permits were received, with 125 reviewed in-house and 83 reviewed by thirdparty plan check consultants. During the same period, 251 permits were issued.
Compared to the previous quarter, the third quarter experienced decreases across all categories, including 35 fewer permit applications received, 24 fewer in-house plan check reviews, 11 fewer third-party consultant reviews, and 37 fewer permits issued.
Since implementing permit processing time standards, the Town has generally met its established review timelines. During this reporting period, all but four permits were processed within the applicable timeframes. The delays associated with these permits were attributable to administrative tracking and oversight issues that have since been identified and addressed through process improvements intended to strengthen permit monitoring and ensure continued compliance with adopted review timelines.

Permit Fees Collected. Figure 8 summarizes Building Division revenue for the third quarter, totaling $507,584 in fees retained by the Town to support permitting and inspection services. This total excludes passthrough fees, such as Statemandated seismic and Green Building fees, which are collected by the Town and remitted to the State. Compared to the prior quarter, third quarter fee revenue decreased by $25,202, primarily due to a lower number of permit applications received and permits issued during the reporting period.
Permit Valuation. The total valuation of building permits issued during the third quarter was approximately $8.56 million. Permit valuation is an important indicator of construction activity and economic investment within the community and contributes to the Town’s property tax base.
Figure 9 shows that compared to the previous quarter, permit valuation decreased by approximately $2.89 million. This decrease is primarily attributable to fewer permits being issued and a decline in higher-value construction projects during the reporting period.
Additionally, permit activity during the previous quarter may have been elevated due to applicants submitting projects ahead of the January 1, 2026, Building Code cycle update implementation.

During Fiscal Year 2025-26, the Southern Marin Fire District experienced a personnel change that disrupted workflow continuity. This created challenges for the closing of FY 2024-25, ongoing management of FY 2025-26 financial needs, and the development of the FY 2026-27 annual budget. The disruptions also caused delays in MWPA’s financial audits for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25.
The Amended and Restated Marin Wildfire Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement provides that the Treasurer of a Member Agency and/or a certified public accountant shall serve as Treasurer for MWPA (JPA Agreement §12). In light of these ongoing challenges with Southern Marin Fire District, MWPA staff reached out to the Town of San Anselmo to determine whether the Town had the capacity to assume the financial services and Treasurer role.
DISCUSSION
The Town of San Anselmo’s Finance Department is well-positioned to provide MWPA’s financial services. Due to the larger size of the Town’s finance team relative to the Southern Marin Fire District, the Town can provide more comprehensive service 42 Item #: 1.5
delivery. The Town also utilizes a more robust accounting enterprise software system, which should improve MWPA’s accounting capabilities, efficiencies, and accuracy.
The attached Professional Services Agreement outlines the scope of services to be provided by the Town at a cost of $104,080 for FY2026/27, with an annual 3% cost-ofliving adjustment.
Staffing Adjustments
Two staffing adjustments are proposed in connection with this agreement:
1. Pay Scale Adjustment: Similar to the existing agreement with the Ross Valley Fire Department, a proposed adjustment to the Finance team’s pay scale is tied to the services provided to MWPA. This adjustment is in addition to employees’ base pay and is effective only during the term of the MWPA agreement. Should the agreement terminate, the pay adjustment would also terminate.
2. Part-Time Temporary Position: The Finance Department proposes to hire one part-time temporary employee to assist with Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable duties across all entities. This would return the Department to its 2021 staffing levels. This position is also contingent on the MWPA agreement and would terminate if the agreement ends.
Both the agreement and the associated staffing adjustments have been incorporated into the proposed FY 2026-27 Town Budget.
If the Town Council approves this agreement, staff will return at the next meeting with updates to the Management and Confidential Employee Resolutions.
FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, the financial services agreement with MWPA is anticipated to generate revenue sufficient to offset associated staffing costs, including a pay scale adjustment and a part-time temporary position, as well as software, supplies, and incidental time from the Town Manager and other staff. The proposed fee structure was developed after a detailed review of costs currently incurred through the Town's agreement with Ross Valley Fire Department, with an administrative overhead factor built in order to ensure full cost recovery. On balance, the agreement is expected to produce a modest net fiscal benefit to the General Fund.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
Approval of the attached professional services agreement for financial services 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).

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 1.6
MEETING DATE: June 9, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Accept the Library Roof/HVAC and Interior Refresh Project and Authorize Staff to File a Notice of
Completion
FROM: Department of Public Works
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council accepts the Library Roof/HVAC and Interior Refresh Project and authorizes staff to file a Notice of Completion.
The San Anselmo Public Library first opened its doors in February 1915. The flat roof addition (known as the Reading Room) added much needed space in 1961, but the roof itself had not been updated or replaced since its initial installation and a significant amount of patchwork was required to mitigate leaks. The heating system was an inefficient hot water boiler that dated back to the library’s original opening.
The library was also in need of an interior space refresh to optimize the library patron experience and expand the children’s area. Over the last 10 years, the library has seen a steady increase in families using the Children’s Room and circulation of children's materials is the highest of all the library’s collections combined, but the space dedicated to serving youth occupied the smallest footprint in the building.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The Main Carnegie Library closed to patrons on October 20, 2025, and reopened on March 23, 2026. During this 5-month closure, the Mini Library provided temporary services in the former police station lobby and all scheduled programs in the Historical Museum, Town council Chambers, and on the Library Lawn were able to continue as planned.
The flat roof has now been replaced, and a new HVAC system has been installed. The interior refresh expanded seating in the children’s area, added tables for homework or craft programs, and increased the floor space. Additionally, two windows were daylighted and the reference and circulation desks were combined to provide one point of service for patrons to streamline and improve customer experience. With additional funds provided by the Friends of the Library, the interior refresh scope was able to 58 Item #: 1.6
expand. These funds allowed for the refinishing of the Main Library floors, as well as the library’s interior and exterior entryways.
A well-attended grand opening celebration took place on April 18th.
FISCAL IMPACT
The final contract amount for the Library Roof/HVAC and Interior Refresh Project is $763,509.00 (2.48% above base contract) which has been funded through the Town’s Building Maintenance Fund, combined with $100,000 from a BayRen Decarbonization grant for the HVAC. Approximately $150,000 has been provided by Friends of the Library for the interior refresh.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Town finds this project consistent with the following General Plan elements:
Land Use Element Objective 12: To maintain the current level of public services to the citizens of the Town and to continue to support improvements to public utilities as needed.
Safety Element Policy S-1.5: Require public buildings are maintained to support their resilience in the face of natural disasters.
Safety Element Action S-1.5a: Maintain the structural and operational integrity of essential public facilities during hazard events.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Town finds this project to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1, because it involves the maintenance and minor alteration of an existing facility with negligible or no expansion of use.
This project aligns with the San Anselmo Climate Action Plan 2030 by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency upgrades and meets the following measures.
E-3 Cool Pavement and Roofs with the installation of a cool roof. R-3 Building and Appliance Electrification through the installation of electric heating and air conditioning with a new HVAC system.

TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.1
MEETING DATE: June 9, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Resolution Calling an Election for Voters to Consider Approval of a Measure Authorizing the Continuation
of a Special Parcel Tax for Ross Valley Paramedic
Authority’s Four-Year Special Parcel Tax for the Tax
Cycle 2027-2031
FROM: Serge Avila, Town Clerk
Dan Mahoney, Fire Chief
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Town Council consider adopting the attached Resolution calling an election for voters to consider approval of a measure authorizing the continuation of a special parcel tax for Ross Valley Paramedic Authority’s Four-Year Special Parcel Tax for the Tax Cycle 2027-2031 (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Ross Valley Paramedic Authority (RVPA) has provided paramedic and pre-hospital emergency medical care to the community for over 40 years. One of the oldest regional partnerships in Marin County, RVPA is a Joint Powers Authority formed in 1982 among the Cities/Towns of Corte Madera, Larkspur, Fairfax, Ross, and San Anselmo; the Kentfield Fire Protection District; the Sleepy Hollow Fire Protection District; and the County of Marin (“Member Agencies”) to provide paramedic services in and across the Member Agencies’ jurisdictions through a single public agency.
RVPA is funded primarily through special parcel tax revenues. Every four years the voters within each Member Agency’s jurisdiction vote to fund the parcel tax for another four-year period. Voters have consistently approved the RVPA tax. The current tax expires on June 30, 2027. To maintain funding, each Member Agency must place the parcel tax on the ballot as a local ballot measure, which must be approved by two-thirds of the voters.
Under the proposed tax, each taxable residential unit is taxed at a rate of up to $107.50, and every 1,000 square feet of developed nonresidential property, and is adjusted up to $4 per year. The current approved tax rate applies to residential units and every 1500 square feet for nonresidential uses through the end of fiscal year 2027. The proposed tax would apply to developed, nonresidential uses at every 1000 square feet.
Additionally, the current adjustment rate would change from $3 to up to $4 per year. 85 Item #: 2.1
During the period of the tax, the governing body of each Member Agency annually confirms the tax by adoption of a Resolution. RVPA recommends the annual increase in the tax within the limit every year based on the financial need of RVPA to maintain its service. The tax is not automatically increased by $4 per year, but rather may be up to that amount depending on the financial condition of RVPA.
Below are the potential tax rates:
FY 26-27 (current) $103.50
FY 27-28 Up to: $107.50
FY 28-29 Up to: $111.00
FY 29-30 Up to: $114.50
FY 30-31 Up to: $118.00
The proposed ballot language is as follows:
To maintain rapid 9-1-1 emergency response times and preserve the number of on-duty paramedics ready to respond to accidents/medical emergencies, shall the Ross Valley Paramedic Authority measure be adopted continuing for four years the paramedic services special tax of up to $107.50/ residential living unit or 1,000 square feet of developed nonresidential property, adjusted up to $4/ year, generating approximately $688,000 annually, with annual audits, public spending disclosure and all funds for local paramedic services?
Upon passage of the RVPA tax measure by two-thirds of voters, the parcel tax becomes effective ten days after it is declared by the San Anselmo Town Council for the term of the next tax cycle. The Resolution also requests that the Marin County Board of Supervisors consolidate the local election with the Statewide General Election on November 3, 2026.
Staff recommends that the Council adopt the attached resolution calling for an election for passage of the Ross Valley Paramedic Authority (“RVPA”) four-year special parcel tax for 2027-2031 and requesting the Marin County Board of Supervisors consolidate the election with the Statewide General Election.
FISCAL IMPACT
It is estimated that holding an election during the November General Election will cost between $17,000 and $29,000. The Town has budgeted enough funds in the general fund to cover the cost of this election.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
Adoption of the attached ordinance is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act, because it does not involve an activity which has the potential to cause a 86 Item #: 2.1
direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Cal. Pub.
Res. Code § 21065).

91 Exhibit “A”
AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO ADDING CHAPTER 9 “PARAMEDIC SERVICES TAX” TO TITLE 8 “FINANCE, REVENUE, AND TAXATION” TO CONTINUE THE LEVY OF A SPECIAL
TAX TO FINANCE PARAMEDIC SERVICES
The people of the Town of San Anselmo do hereby ordain as follows:
Chapter 9 “Paramedic Services Tax” is hereby added to Title 8 “Finance, Revenue, and Taxation” as follows:

(1) Residential Uses: A tax of $107.50 per residential unit, as defined in Section 10-3.1702 of the San Anselmo Municipal Code, on a parcel shall be imposed for fiscal year 2027- 2028. Beginning with fiscal year 2028-2029, the Town Council may approve an annual increase to said amount of up to $4.00 annually to a maximum of up to $118.00 for fiscal year 2030-2031.
(2) Non-Residential Uses: A tax of $107.50 per 1,000 square feet of structure on the parcel shall be imposed for fiscal year 2027-2028. Beginning with fiscal year 2028- 2029, the Town Council may approve an annual increase to said amount not to exceed $4.00 annually to a maximum of up to $118.00 for fiscal year 2030-2031.
The records of the Marin County Assessor as of March 1st of each year shall determine the use and improvement of each parcel for calculation of the Paramedic Tax applicable to that parcel in the following fiscal year.
For purposes of this Ordinance, the term “parcel” shall mean a parcel of real property having a separate assessor’s parcel number as shown on the last equalized assessment roll for the County of Marin.
8-9.03 – Annual Report and Approval of Tax Levy. The Town Council shall receive an annual report regarding the Paramedic Tax pursuant to California Government Code section 50075.3. In addition, the Town Council shall annually approve a resolution establishing the amount of the 92 special tax levy, in an amount that does not exceed the maximum amount specified in this Ordinance. The special tax shall not be measured by value of the property. 8-9.04 – Special Account.

8-9.10 – Severability.

The Town Council, and the electorate by referendum, do hereby declare that they would have adopted this Ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or part or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, clauses, phrases, parts or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
93 8-9-.11 – Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be adopted and become effective only if approved by two-thirds of the voters voting thereon at an election to be held on November 3, 2026. 8-9.12 – Authorization.

94 Renewal of the Parcel
Tax Measures
Ross Valley Paramedic Authority
95 Next Tax Cycle & Timeline
• The parcel tax funds about 50% of RVPA’s operations (the other half is funded through transport revenues)
• The next tax cycle spans July 1st, 2027 to June 30, 2031 across all member agencies
• To guarantee funding, member agencies must seek voters’ approval to renew their parcel tax measures at the November 2026 elections
• Cities and Towns need Council approval to work with the Elections Department’s timeline for November ballot submission
96 Tax Rates
• Tax rates are established based on today's projections of a 4-year budget for Fiscal Years 27-31 • Uncertainties include:
• Changes to Medicare and MediCal (potential decrease in transport revenues which represents a portion of total revenues)
• Changes in the structure / cost of service provision (Labor agreements, etc) • Inflation and other typical cost pressure
• For these reasons:
• If cost projections change, tax rates can be lowered (“up to” language used) in any one year of the 4-year tax cycle, upon recommendation from the Board, while maintaining the equalization pattern • Staff does not recommend moving to a longer tax cycle at this time • Separately, the goal is to equalize the tax rates across all member agencies, which receive the same level of service
• This means equalizing the rates and the applicable square footage for nonresidential uses across the service area

• Equalizing the threshold for square footage of nonresidential floor area from 1,500 sq ft to 1,000 sq ft to match Corte Madera’s current threshold would result in an increase in revenue of approximately 4% ($90,000 at the current FY 26-27 tax rate of $103.50) • Example of nonresidential tax:
• 10,000 sq ft at today’s rate of $100.50, using 1,500 sq ft threshold = $670 in tax • Same 10,000 sq ft at today’s rate of $100.50, using 1,000 sq ft = $1,005 in tax • Difference:
• Increase in tax revenue to RVPA of $335 for the same floor area at the same rate 99 Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Town Council considering adopting the attached Resolution calling an election for voters to consider approval of a measure authorizing the continuation of a special parcel tax for Ross Valley Paramedic Authority (“RVPA”) Four-Year Special Parcel Tax for the Tax Cycle 2027-2031.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #:2.2
MEETING DATE: June 9, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Proposed 2026-2027 Town Budget and
Workplan
FROM: Jeff Zuba, Finance & Admin Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council review and provide feedback on staff's proposed fiscal year 2026-2027 budget.
BACKGROUND
Each year, Town staff bring the Council a proposed budget for the fiscal year ahead, a document that reflects not just numbers, but also the Town's 2025-2027 Work Plan, which outlines the specific goals and priorities each department is pursuing above and beyond day-to-day operations. This year's budget covers July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and it arrives in a position of fiscal strength, with an opportunity to look clearly at both near-term decisions and long-term pressures.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Current Year Close — FY 2025-26
The Town expects to close FY 2025-26 with an operating deficit of approximately $365,000, significantly better than the $1,116,338 deficit that was budgeted. The deficit reflects planned one-time draws for capital projects and transfers, not a shortfall in dayto-day operations. The General Fund operating picture is stronger than projected going into the year.
On the revenue side, three areas came in better than budgeted. Property tax and sales tax are both tracking slightly above their original estimates, by $70,000 and $54,869 respectively. Permit revenue has increased meaningfully as a result of the fee study completed earlier this year, which incorporated fully burdened costs into each permit type, a change that better reflects the actual cost of service. A donation from the Friends of the Library toward the Library Refresh project also contributed to the improved revenue picture, though those funds are restricted to that purpose. 101
Item #: 2.2
On the expenditure side, salaries and benefits came in under budget primarily due to unplanned vacancies in the Planning and Building Departments, and seasonal Public Works hiring did not materialize as planned. Two outside service contracts also came in lower than expected, legal services and Planning Department consulting. The General Plan update remains on track for completion in winter 2026, though a schedule shift will push some expenditures into FY 2026-27 that had been anticipated this year.
Staff will continue to monitor the final numbers through June 30. If the results hold as expected, no action is needed. The General Fund reserve balance heading into FY 2026-27 is estimated at $6,352,167, or 26.7% of expenditures, and above the Town's 20% policy floor established by Resolution 4474.
Looking Ahead — FY 2026-27 Budget
The attached documents indicate that a balanced budget is anticipated in the General Fund for the 2026-2027 fiscal year.
The Town's General Fund revenue reflects continued modest growth heading into FY2026-27. Both property tax and sales tax are projecting positive but moderate increases, consistent with a normalizing market environment. The outlook carries real uncertainty given an uncertain federal economic environment and rising prices for goods and services. Staff has budgeted conservatively and will return to Council with any material revenue adjustments at the mid-year budget review.
The following are the major changes to the FY 2026-27 General Fund budget as compared with FY 2025-26:
Property Tax: Property tax remains the cornerstone of San Anselmo's General Fund, comprising approximately three-quarters of the Town's total revenue base when including property-related revenues. For FY2026-27, the Assessor projects base property tax growth of approximately 4%, a moderation from the 7.5% and 6.2% growth realized in FY2022-23 and FY2023-24. That earlier growth was driven by an unusually active real estate market in which San Anselmo saw significant property turnover at higher assessed values. As that activity has normalized, growth has settled into a more predictable range. San Anselmo's desirable quality of life and continued demand for housing in the community support an expectation of ongoing positive growth, though the exceptional years of the pandemic era are unlikely to return given higher mortgage rates and slower turnover in the current market. Based on year-to-date collections from the Marin County Department of Finance and the Town's property tax consultants, total property tax revenue is projected to increase by approximately $616,910 or 3.46% to $18,436,158, compared to the FY2025-26 budget of $17,819,248, net of the administrative fee paid to the County of Marin.
General Fund Sales Tax and Prop 172 Sales Tax: Sales tax is projected to increase $49,585 or 3.08% to $1,660,205 from $1,610,620. While the projection shows modest growth, the outlook carries real uncertainty given an uncertain federal economic 102
Item #: 2.2
environment and rising prices for goods and services. Staff have budgeted conservatively given that environment. The situation bears watching through the year as federal policy and consumer behavior continue to evolve.
Other Revenue Sources: Staff are budgeting modest to nominal increases in most other revenue streams, with a few notable exceptions. The Garbage Franchise Fee is expected to increase as the Town has shifted from a percentage-based model to a cost of service and use of property model with Marin Sanitary, better aligning the fee with actual costs. Cable franchise fee revenue has been reduced to reflect FY 2025-26 actual collections, which came in lower than originally anticipated. On the permit side, application volume appears to be softening, however revenue remains stable as a result of the fee study completed earlier this year and the implementation of fully burdened permit costs. Finally, the Town is in discussions to provide Finance and Payroll services to the Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority, which if finalized, would generate new revenue while leveraging existing Town staff capacity.
The overall increase in revenue and transfers-in as compared to the adopted fiscal year 2025-2026 budget is $1,145,025 or 5.1%.
Expenditures
On the expenditure side, the budget reflects continued growth in pension obligations and public safety costs, areas where cost increases have consistently outpaced revenue growth in recent years. Annual payments toward CalPERS unfunded accrued liability, combined with recently negotiated labor contracts for police, fire, and Town staff, are the primary drivers of this trend. The labor negotiations were necessary to bring employee compensation in line with the median among comparable agencies, a deliberate investment in the Town's ability to retain and attract the qualified staff San Anselmo depends on to deliver essential services to the community. 103

Numbers in parentheses indicate either a fractional FTE allocation or multiple positions with the same title. In addition to the General Fund, several other Town funds support staff positions — including the Parking, Building, Measure J, Road Maintenance, Recreation, Library Tax, and Technology Funds. (This total budget proposes funding 42 full-time equivalent positions)
Most of the increase in expenditure is a result of contractually agreed upon increases in employee compensation and the fees and contributions associated with participation in several joint powers authorities (JPA). Department-level expenditures outside of salaries and benefits have been held to FY25-26 levels as much as possible. 104
Item #: 2.2
The overall increase in salaries and benefits to the General Fund in FY 2026-27 is $206,412. The majority of this increase is attributable to the 5.5% cost of living adjustment included in the Memorandum of Understanding with SEIU Local 1021 and the non-represented employee resolutions, as well as adjustments to employee healthcare selections under the new MOU structure. Partially offsetting these increases are staffing changes within two departments. Following the departure of the Town's Principal Planner, the position was backfilled with an Associate Planner at a lower cost. Additionally, the Town recently lost a part-time Senior Building Inspector and has elected not to fill that vacancy at this time given current permit volumes. Together, these structural changes helped moderate the overall salary and benefits impact on the General Fund. The Town issued Pension Obligation Bonds in September 2021 to address the Town's unfunded pension liability with CalPERS, taking advantage of a favorable interest rate environment. The bonds mature in 2041 and the bond structure continues to generate savings compared to the standard CalPERS amortization schedule. However, subsequent negative investment returns by CalPERS have generated a new unfunded liability for the Town. The FY 2026-27 debt payment of $716,618 represents the fourth annual payment on the bonds, an increase from the prior year bond payment of $681,689. The unfunded liability payment of $275,128 also reflects an increase from approximately $199,000 in FY 2025-26, attributable to CalPERS’ negative investment returns.
Effective July 1, 2025, the Town transitioned from a cafeteria plan model to a defined contribution approach for employee health benefits, covering the full cost of the Kaiser medical plan premium based on each employee's elected coverage level. Employees who select a plan exceeding the Kaiser rate for their tier are responsible for the difference in premiums. For budgeting purposes, staff has estimated a 7% increase in premium rates beginning January 1, 2027, consistent with recent trends. Premium increases over the last four fiscal years have been
5.8%, 7%, 12%, and 9%.
The Central Marin Police Authority Council approved its FY2026-27 budget at its May 14, 2026, meeting. The total CMPA operating budget for FY2026-27 is $18,036,528, an increase of $780,379 or 4.5% over the prior year. San Anselmo's total contribution is $6,138,241, an increase of $232,002 or 3.9% over the prior year. Of this amount, $94,970 associated with Community Service Officer enforcement costs has been aligned to the Parking Fund, reflecting the Town's ongoing effort to match costs to the appropriate funding source. The net impact to the General Fund is an increase of $228,576 or 3.9% over the FY2025- 26 budget. The primary cost drivers include a 3.5% cost of living adjustment for sworn personnel, increased CalPERS unfunded accrued liability payments, higher general liability and workers' compensation contributions, and a one-time technology investment for integrated public safety software upgrades, partially 105
Item #: 2.2
offset by an applied vacancy factor of 2.5 full-time police officer positions and contract services savings. The CMPA budget can be found here: CMPA 2026- 2027 Budget
The Town's direct member contribution to the Ross Valley Fire Department (RVFD) for FY 2026-27 is estimated at $6,498,000, an increase of $298,761, or approximately 4.7%, over the prior year budget of $6,199,239. Of this amount, $291,133 is charged to the Measure J Fund to support the three-person engine company staffing that began July 1, 2024. The net impact to the General Fund is an increase of $289,447 over the FY 2025-26 budget of $5,917,420. The budget reflects MOU and Resolution wage adjustments bringing all positions to median compensation among comparable agencies, partially offset by a significant workers' compensation refund resulting from actual payroll coming in substantially below budgeted figures for the 2024-25 program year. This budget anticipates that the Department will bring a revised budget to the Fire Board following finalization of the Third and Fourth Amendments to the Joint Powers Agreement, which will adjust the funding formula among member agencies and require approval by each member agency. The RVFD Board of Directors received the proposed budget at its May 13, 2026, meeting. (Information can be found here: RVFD 2026-27 Budget)
The FY2026-27 budget reflects an increase of approximately $135,000 in the Internal Service Insurance charge to the General Fund, driven by higher contribution rates to the Bay Cities Joint Powers Insurance Authority across the Town's existing lines of coverage including general liability, property, cyber, and workers' compensation. Contribution rates are calculated based on calendar year payroll data and building valuations, both of which have been increasing and are reflected in the higher assessment for this fiscal year. Bay Cities has also introduced a new earthquake coverage line for FY2026-27. Unlike traditional earthquake insurance, this coverage is based on ground shaking intensity as measured by USGS sensors and g-force readings rather than the Richter scale, with the Town eligible to receive a payout based on its share of a $4,000,000 policy limit. As this is pooled coverage across all 21 BCJPIA member agencies with an aggregate limit of approximately $43,000,000, a seismic event impacting multiple members simultaneously would trigger a calculation to determine each agency's proportionate share of the available limit.
The Town collects a General Plan Maintenance Fee on each permit issued, the proceeds of which are held in the assigned fund balance and designated for General Plan update work. These funds are not included in the FY 2026-27 operating budget at this time, as appropriating reserved funds would cause the budget to appear in a deficit, even though the expenditure would be fully offset by the designated reserves. Staff anticipate returning to the Town Council at the mid-year budget presentation to request authorization to appropriate these reserves and complete the remaining General Plan update work. 106
Item #: 2.2
The total increase in expenditures and transfers is $1,145,025 or 5.1% as compared to the 2025-2026 budget.
The reserves of the General Fund are estimated to be 26.7%, above the 20% Town Council policy set by Resolution 4474. Reserves held in the General Fund above the policy threshold serve as a financial buffer to address one-time needs, unforeseen emergencies, or strategic investments that support long-term fiscal sustainability. Staff recommend that these excess reserves not be used to fund ongoing operational costs, as doing so can create structural imbalances. Instead, they are best suited for capital projects, paying down liabilities, or seeding initiatives that improve efficiency or service delivery without creating recurring budget pressures.
In addition to the General Fund, the following funds reflect the Town's broader fiscal picture for FY2026-27.
PARKING FUND - The Parking Fund accounts for revenue and expenditures associated with the Town's parking program, including paid parking lots and parking citations collected under Ordinance 1039. Parking enforcement costs through Community Service Officers from the Central Marin Police Authority and operational costs for the parking pay stations are also included in the fund. For FY 2026-27, revenue is estimated at $185,000 against expenditures of $180,979. However, the estimated fund balance on June 30, 2027, is a deficit of $41,312, reflecting the one-time cost of purchasing the parking pay stations when the paid parking program was launched. The fund is expected to recover over time as parking revenue accumulates, but it will take a few years to return to a positive balance.
GRANTS FUND - The Grants Fund tracks outside funding secured by the Town for capital improvement projects. For FY 2026-27, the Town anticipates $2,054,142 in grant funding across four projects. The Madrone HAWK Beacon project will upgrade the pedestrian crossing signal at Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Madrone Avenue to a high-compliance activated crosswalk system, funded through a Transportation Development Act Article 3 grant from the Transportation Authority of Marin and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. The Sequoia Safe Routes project will address pedestrian safety gaps in the Sequoia Park neighborhood through infrastructure improvements at two locations, funded by a generous anonymous private donor. The Safe Paths project will close missing sidewalk segments at several locations across Town, improving pedestrian connectivity and accessibility for all residents.
MEASURE J SALES TAX FUND - The Measure J Fund heads into FY 2026-27 with an anticipated balance of $297,345. Revenue for FY 2026-27 is budgeted at $3,008,768, bringing total available funds to $3,306,113. The FY 2026-27 budget proposes total expenditures of $2,854,933, leaving an estimated year-end balance of $301,719.
Measure J continues to fund a mix of ongoing operational and one-time capital needs.
On the operational side, the budget sustains staffing of the three-person engine company at Ross Valley Fire Department. Capital projects this year include the Slurry Seal Project, Isabel Cook Community Center exterior painting, ICC TAM Room and 107
Item #: 2.2
Gym HVAC replacement, Red Hill Well Water Line, Memorial Park multi-use courts, and street design work for the FY 2027-28 paving cycle, ensuring the paving program is ready to execute in the following fiscal year. This balanced approach reflects the Town's commitment to maintaining both day-to-day services and long-term infrastructure investment.
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION FUND - The Active Transportation Fund was established by Council resolution in June 2023 to support infrastructure and hardscape improvements that create physical safety, traffic calming, and enhanced accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists. The fund is financed through an annual allocation of 5% of Measure J revenue, with FY 2026-27 revenue estimated at $127,371 and total expenditures budgeted at $205,000, with an estimated year-end balance of $41,461.
Projects planned for FY 2026-27 include the Sequoia Park Area #2 sidewalk improvement on Hilldale Drive, which will close a pedestrian gap between the new Hilldale Pocket Park and the United Markets shopping area by constructing a new sidewalk, a gateway treatment to slow traffic, and intersection safety improvements at Hilldale Drive and Jordan Avenue. The budget also includes the Sir Francis Drake/Sais/Sunnyhills Traffic Signal Design project, continuation of the Traffic Calming Program, and additional bike racks and lockers across Town.
PARK CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND - The Park Improvement Fund supports the development, enhancement, and maintenance of public parks and recreational facilities, funded through General Fund surplus transfers and grant opportunities. For FY 2026- 27, the budget is $505,000 across two projects: Hilldale Park Phase 2, which will install creative play features and accessibility improvements following extensive community outreach, and the Memorial Park multi-use courts project, which will replace the deteriorating tennis courts at the Town's primary community park off Sunny Hills Drive.
Looking ahead, the Capital Improvement Plan includes $250,000 in FY 2027-28 to begin design work for the Robson Carriage House. The fund is expected to close FY 2026-27 with a balance of $428,758.
ROAD MAINTENANCE FUND - The Road Maintenance Fund supports the Town's ongoing commitment to maintaining and improving its street network. The fund draws from four revenue sources: a $534,000 transfer from the General Fund reflecting the updated franchise agreement with Marin Sanitary Service, Road Impact Fees estimated at $450,000, Measure AA funds of $571,318from the Transportation Authority of Marin, and SB1 Gas Tax revenue of $359,722, bringing total estimated revenue to $1,937,540.
The expenditure budget for FY 2026-27 is $1,928,300, which includes $1,150,000 for the annual paving project, $150,000 in unprogrammed paving and drainage funding, $230,000 for the slurry seal, $50,000 for traffic signal control box upgrades, and staff time. The fund is expected to close FY 2026-27 with a balance of $525,303. Streets scheduled for paving this year include Valley Road, Suffield Avenue, Rutherford Avenue, Camino de Herrera, Skyline Road, Bennit Avenue, Oakwood Court, Sunnyside Avenue, Spring Grove Avenue, and Longwood Drive, selected based on Pavement 108
Item #: 2.2
Condition Index scores ranging from critically deteriorated to fair condition. Hillcrest Avenue between Olive and Laurel was originally included but has been deferred pending an upcoming MMWD water pipeline replacement on that street and will be incorporated into a future paving cycle once that work is complete.
RECREATION FUND - The Recreation Department continues to excel in delivering a broad range of programs and services to the community including toddler and youth programs, adult programs, sports leagues, tumbling and gymnastics, community events, and much more. The Department closed FY2025-26 with an estimated reserve balance of approximately $1.1 million, consistent with the prior fiscal year. The proposed FY2026-27 budget draws on approximately $150,000 in reserves to fund facility investments including ICC exterior painting and additional capital needs. These onetime expenditures reflect the Department's ongoing commitment to maintaining quality facilities while preserving operational reserves for future needs.
LIBRARY TAX FUND -The Library Parcel Tax rate adjusts annually by 3% as established in the original ballot measure approved by San Anselmo voters, which authorized a base rate of $70 per parcel generating approximately $320,000 annually through 2033, with mandatory audits, independent citizens' oversight, and all funds locally controlled. For FY 2026-27, the rate increases from $72.54 to $74.70 per parcel.
Across San Anselmo's 4,680 parcels, the Library Tax is projected to generate approximately $334,445 in total revenue, net of approximately $3,500 returned annually to qualified applicants through the San Anselmo Tax Rebate program. These funds support the services voters approved: maintaining library operating hours, expanding book and eBook collections, sustaining programs for children, families, seniors, and people with disabilities, and preserving free internet access and public computers.
MEASURE A PARK TAX FUND - In June 2022, County voters approved the reimplementation of Parks Measure A, a quarter-cent sales tax supporting parks and open space, sustainable agriculture, and recreation in cities and towns through 2031. For FY 2026-27, the Town expects to receive $123,916 in Measure A funding. The Town Council has directed that revenue be split 70% to Memorial Park and 30% to Open Space, resulting in allocations of $86,741 and $37,175 respectively. Memorial Park funds are being held in reserve and may be directed toward the Memorial Park multiuse courts project depending on final project costs and timing. The estimated fund balances on June 30, 2027, are $295,993 for Memorial Park and $133,578 for Open Space.
CLIMATE ACTION FUND – For FY 2026-27, the General Fund transfer to the Climate Action Fund has been reduced to $80,000, a $25,000 reduction from prior year levels reflecting the budgetary constraints currently facing the General Fund.
On the expenditure side, the outside services budget has been adjusted to $110,000 based on actual spending history. While the budget was set at $150,000 in each of the prior two fiscal years, actual expenditures have averaged approximately $105,000 annually. The revised budget more accurately reflects anticipated activity. 109
Item #: 2.2
Funding priorities supported by the Climate Action Fund are determined through a collaborative process involving Town staff, the Climate Action Coordinator, and the Climate Action Commission (CAC). The CAC plays an important advisory role in identifying initiatives aligned with the Town's climate goals. Project selection and budget allocations are ultimately guided by the Town's adopted work plan, staff capacity, and Town Council approval. The fund supports a broad, staff-coordinated climate action program in which the CAC is a valued partner.
INTERNAL SERVICES FUNDS – BUILDING MAINTENANCE, TECHNOLOGY REPLACEMENT, AND VEHICLE REPLACEMENT FUNDS – The purpose of these funds is to account for the cost of operating and maintaining the Town’s building, network system, and vehicle program; to accumulate funding and build up reserves to fund future needs.
WORK PLAN GOALS
Staff continue to progress through the 2025-2027 work plan priorities. These priorities will be reflected on the corresponding department pages or in the narrative of the corresponding fund. The Town Council receives periodic updates on the status of the work plan priorities.
Five-Year General Fund Financial Forecast
The Five-Year Financial Forecast for FY2027-28 through FY2031-32 (Attachment 2) represents an analytical effort to evaluate the Town's long-term fiscal condition based upon a reasonable set of economic and operational assumptions. It serves as an important management tool for both the Town Council and Town Management in identifying fiscal trends and emerging issues that must be addressed to ensure the Town's continued financial stability.
It is important to note that this forecast is not a prediction of what will occur, but rather a snapshot in time reflecting what could occur if the underlying assumptions are realized.
As with any long-range financial projection, assumptions and estimates carry greater certainty in the near-term years than in years further into the forecast period. The Town will continue to closely monitor economic conditions at the local, state, and national level and update assumptions accordingly as new information becomes available.
Revenues
The Town's two primary General Fund revenue sources, property tax and sales tax, reflect a return to stable but more modest growth following the pandemic years.
Property tax is projected to grow at approximately four percent annually over the fiveyear forecast period, down from growth rates exceeding six and seven percent during that period driven by an active real estate market. Although the local market continues to see high-value home sales, the volume of turnover has slowed, which moderates the 110
Item #: 2.2
overall growth trajectory. Four percent annual growth represents a stable and reasonable baseline for long-range planning purposes.
Sales tax revenue experienced similar volatility during the pandemic period, though driven by a dynamic surge in consumer spending that has since returned to more normalized levels. Sales tax peaked at approximately $1.64 million in FY2021-22, representing a 33 percent increase over the prior year. Since that time, Bradley-Burns sales tax receipts have returned to more normalized activity levels. For FY2026-27, staff estimate Bradley-Burns sales tax receipts of approximately $1.5 million, with Prop 172 Public Safety Sales Tax projected separately. Combined, total sales tax revenue is budgeted at $1,660,205, reflecting a return to the more normalized activity levels seen prior to the pandemic spike.
Staff are also monitoring permit revenue closely. While recent fee adjustments have helped stabilize revenue by incorporating fully burdened costs into each permit type, application volume has slowed compared to prior years. Staff will continue to watch development activity throughout the forecast period as permit revenue has the potential to influence the overall fiscal picture.
Expenditures
On the expenditure side, the forecast reflects several structural cost pressures that warrant ongoing attention. Public safety costs represent the most significant area of pressure. The recently negotiated Memorandum of Understanding for the Ross Valley Fire Department Firefighters Association, together with the Memorandum of Understanding with SEIU 1021 and the Unrepresented Employees Resolution, brought compensation to regional median, a necessary and appropriate outcome for each, but the cumulative step-up in cost is structurally more difficult to absorb for a property tax dependent municipality with revenues growing at a modest and predictable rate.
Looking ahead, the Town will continue to monitor labor costs across all agreements, including the Central Marin Police Authority which enters its next negotiation cycle at the end of FY2026-27.
The Town also carries an ongoing obligation related to its CalPERS unfunded liability. In 2021, the Town issued pension obligation bonds to pay down its unfunded liability at favorable conditions. Subsequent to that action, FY2022-23 and FY2023-24 produced among the weakest investment returns in CalPERS history, generating a new layer of unfunded liability concurrent with the existing bond debt service obligations. Bond payments are projected to peak in FY2031-32 before declining through the remainder of the bond term ending in FY2040-41. While this obligation is known and bounded, it represents a meaningful constraint on General Fund flexibility during the forecast period.
Overall Fiscal Position
Taken together, the five-year forecast reflects a General Fund that is stable but operating in a tighter fiscal environment than in recent years. Revenue growth is healthy but modest, and the cost structure includes several fixed or semi-fixed pressures that do 111
Item #: 2.2
not adjust proportionally with changes in activity or demand. The forecast period includes a projected operating deficit in the near term, which staff intends to address through a sequenced set of measures including targeted use of internal fund reserves, review of discretionary expenditures, and evaluation of outside contract services. The Town enters this period with reserves built during stronger revenue years, and staff are committed to managing through the near-term gap in a deliberate and fiscally responsible manner.
The Infrastructure and Fiscal Monitoring Committee met on June 1, 2026, to review and provide feedback on the proposed 2026-2027 budget. After our discussion, the Committee unanimously voted to recommend the proposed budget to the Town Council.
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 MANAGER'S MESSAGE
June 9, 2026
Honorable Mayor Burdo, Town Council, and San Anselmo Residents, I am pleased to present the Town's Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Proposed Annual Budget and Work Plan, the annual roadmap for operations in the Town of San Anselmo. This extensive, detailed, and balanced budget continues the Town Council’s priorities to protect General Fund reserves while providing a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) of one-time expenses towards improving Town assets and infrastructure.
This budget is the result of a collaborative effort across Town departments to align resources with the priorities of the Town Council and the community, while maintaining fiscal responsibility. In implementing the Council's budget, our team remains committed to our organizational values of teamwork, customer service, innovation, adaptability, and professional development. I want to express my sincere appreciation to all Town employees for their dedication to improving the community we serve. It is a privilege to work alongside such a talented and community-focused team of professionals.
Despite inflationary pressures, this balanced budget funds key Town priorities—public safety, quality of life, and infrastructure—while preserving years of progress, managing rising costs, and maintaining the flexibility to meet evolving service demands.
This document reflects our continued commitment to prudent fiscal management, effective service delivery, and an affordable quality of life for San Anselmo residents. Upon adoption by the Council, the budget establishes the framework for all Town programs and services for the coming fiscal year—representing the shared direction of Council guidance and staff recommendations to best achieve Council goals and address the community's highest priorities.
The Town Council serves as the legislative body representing the public—receiving community input, developing and adopting policy, and resolving public issues through motions, resolutions, and ordinances. Town staff, led by the Town Manager and Department Heads, carries out the day-today operations of the organization across the following departments: Administration and Finance, Fire, Library, Planning, Police, Public Works, and Recreation..

5-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a multi-year planning document that identifies and prioritizes the Town's infrastructure and facility needs, establishes project schedules, and aligns projects with funding sources. The Town Council approved the five-year CIP for FY 2024-2025 through FY 2028- 2029 on June 11, 2024.
This CIP represents the Town's fourth comprehensive plan in the past 15 years and continues a strong track record of improving infrastructure and quality of life for residents. At its February 2026 meeting, the Infrastructure and Financial Monitoring Committee (IFMC) recommended that staff prepare a rolling five-year CIP with detailed project information for each proposed project. This draft FY 2027–FY 2031 CIP is prepared in response to that direction.
Over the past 15 years, the Town's Capital Improvement Plans have served as a roadmap for projects, funding, and staffing to improve roads, buildings, parks, and other infrastructure. Notable achievements include:
• Increasing the Pavement Condition Index from the low-to-mid 50s to 73 • Improving sidewalks around many of the Town's schools • Renovating parks throughout the community
• Addressing long-deferred maintenance on Town buildings With the passage of Measure J in 2023—which extended and doubled the previous Measure D half-cent sales tax to a full one-cent sales tax—the Town is well-positioned to continue major improvements to roads, buildings, and parks, while also advancing active transportation, green and energy-saving infrastructure, and community resilience projects.
ROAD MAINTENANCE
Staff plans for approximately $1,750,000 in
paving, crack and slurry seal projects each year to
improve the Town’s Pavement Condition Index
(PCI). Also included are annual funding for traffic
signal improvements, and unprogrammed
paving and concrete street repair
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION
Improvements for non-motorized forms of
transportation (walking and bicycling) is an
important component of the CIP. Staff actively
seeks grant funds for larger projects.
Projects in the 5-Year CIP include traffic signal
improvements, Safe Routes to Schools projects,
sidewalk gap closures, ADA improvements, trail
projects, traffic calming programs, and other
improvements.
After several years of strong property tax revenues and better-than-expected sales tax returns, growth is projected to moderate—with property tax revenue returning to a more typical range of 3–4% annually and sales tax remaining flat. Against this backdrop, the proposed FY 2026-2027 budget was developed with the continuing objective of delivering high-quality services in an effective, efficient, and fiscally responsible manner. Department-level Work Plan Priorities have been incorporated into each budget section to guide operations throughout the fiscal year and beyond.
The FY 2026-2027 Proposed Budget reflects a balancing strategy that prioritizes essential services, proactively funds long-term obligations, and sustains investments in the Town's most critical infrastructure.

REGIONAL FLOOD MITIGATION
In addition to local storm water and flood control efforts listed above, the County of Marin’s Department of Public Works, in its capacity as the Flood Control and Water Conservation District, works on flood control on a regional basis. San Anselmo is located in Flood Zone 9 of the district.
During the fall of 2023, a group of San Anselmo residents gathered the required signatures to place an item on the March 2024 ballot asking voters whether an initiative measure should be adopted to withdraw the Town of San Anselmo from the Marin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. This measure passed and as a result, the Town is no longer a member of the District and does not have representation on the Flood Zone 9 Advisory Committee.
As part of the San Anselmo Flood Risk Reduction program (SAFFR), which was designed to mitigate local flooding, the District completed the installation of the flood diversion and storage basin in western Fairfax, and had plans to move forward with the removal of the foundations at Building Bridge 2 in downtown San Anselmo which restricted the flow of water the creek channel. In May of 2026, the County’s Flood Control and Water Conservation District made the decision to not move forward with the project due to multiple factors.
PARKS
Over the last several years, the Town has invested
in improving the Memorial Park Athletic fields,
the parking lot, Millenium Playground and
is working on updating the athletic court
facilities at the south end of the park. With the
cancellation of the County Flood Control project
downtown, staff is working with the County to
reopen the Creek Park Plaza as well as making
additional park improvements to the popular
Creek Park.
BUILDINGS
Following the roof and HVAC work completed
at Town Hall, the Library building recently
reopened after a renovation that included a
new roof, new HVAC and an interior refresh of
the Children’s area, which was funded in part by
a donation from the Friends of the San Anselmo
Library. In addition, the full renovation of Fire
Station 20 is all but complete, pending the
installation of a fire-safe demonstration garden
in the front of the station.
BRIDGES
The Town has 20 bridges, some almost 100
years old. Many of the bridges are inspected by
Caltrans every other year, and depending on the
condition, may qualify for repair or replacement
funds from the federal Highway Bridge
Program. The federal process has turned out to
be quite slow, sometimes taking over a decade.
As the programmed bridge projects progress,
some require an 11% local match, which will
likely come from Measure J, and will become
significant for the construction projects in the
latter years of the 5-Year CIP.
DROUGHT, CLIMATE, AND SOLAR
The Town has prioritized projects to improve
wells at Memorial Park and Creek Park, and has
been successful in obtaining grants to offset
costs for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations
at parking lots and parks. A Resilience Hub was
completed in the spring of 2026 which provides
solar energy to Town Hall with battery back up
for use in the evenings.

BUDGET FORMAT
CONCLUSION
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The Town's operations are budgeted primarily through the General Fund. Significant maintenance projects and capital improvements are contained in the Capital Reconstruction Fund, while road and drainage projects are funded through the Road Maintenance Fund and the Grants Fund. The Recreation Fund accounts for revenue and expenditures related to recreation programs, the Library Tax Fund tracks expenditures associated with the special Library services tax, and the Measure J Sales Tax Fund tracks capital project activity funded through those revenues. A complete list of all Town funds, including descriptions and revenue and expenditure summaries, is provided in the Overview of Funds section at the beginning of this document.
The proposed FY 2026-2027 budget responsibly addresses the Town's capital and equipment needs while sustaining a staffing structure capable of meeting the expectations of San Anselmo residents.
Town staff remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering excellent services to the community.
A document of this complexity requires significant collaboration and effort. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all staff who contributed, with special recognition to the Town's exceptional Administration and Finance Team—Robyn Clifford, Maraby Tanguay, and Jeff Zuba.
Respectfully submitted,
David P. Donery

Town of San Anselmo | Budget & Work Plan FY 2026-2027 13
GENERAL FUND
Understanding municipal finance takes a lot of effort and willingness to read and interpret a large volume and wide variety of information. The Town strives to make all communications, including financial information, as approachable and understandable as possible.
In this section, we are presenting information about how the Town receives its funding and how it gets spent. We are presenting it in a format that has been developed to lay out the basic structures of the income and outflow of tax dollars and other funds the Town receives and spends.
The Town of San Anselmo receives funding to operate through a variety of sources. Many are wellknown, such as property tax and sales tax. These two sources make up most of the Town funding. As you will see in this budget document, the Town’s operations are accounted for in the General Fund.
Property taxes are the Town’s primary source of revenue. The basic property tax is 1% of a property’s assessed value, of which the Town receives less than one-quarter. In FY 2026-2027, the assessed valuation of San Anselmo properties is expected to increase by 3.73%, an indication that property sales remain strong.
SECURED PROPERTY TAX
The Town’s share of 1% of the Town’s assessed
valuation is billed by the County of Marin. A
property assessment may not exceed a 2%
increase in any year unless the property has been
sold or improvements have been constructed.
UNSECURED PROPERTY TAX
Tax on property such as business office
equipment and possessory interest tax.
UNITARY TAX
State collected and distributed tax on utilityowned properties. In Marin County, PG&E property accounts for approximately 25% of
unitary tax collections.
SUPPLEMENTAL
Taxes assessed on property sales and new
construction outside the regular tax bills.
HOMEOWNERS’ PROPERTY TAX RELIEF (HOPTR)
Reimbursement for the property tax lost on the
$7,000 homeowners’ property tax exemption.
PENSION OVERRIDE TAX
The Town’s pension tax is used to pay for the
cost of the employee pension program. The rate
is $0.059 per $100 of a property’s assessed value.
MUNICIPAL SERVICES TAX
The Town’s Municipal Services Tax is used to pay
for general Town services. It is assessed annually
at $78 per residential living unit or $0.052 per
square foot for commercial space.
EDUCATIONAL REVENUE AUGMENTATION
FUND (ERAF) PROPERTY TAX
In FY 1992-1993, the State began diverting
property taxes from local governments into
the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund
(ERAF) to boost revenues. Marin County is one of
five counties that generates excess ERAF taxes,
meaning more revenue is deposited than local
schools require. As a result, the ERAF formula
allows the local governments to keep a portion
of the diverted ERAF taxes.

tax revenue. It is budgeted, accounted for, and
reported as property tax revenue rather than
VLF revenue.
SALES TAX
The Town receives 1% of the 9.25% in sales tax
on retail sales transactions taking place in the
Town. San Anselmo has relatively low sales tax
revenue compared to its neighboring cities due
to its physical location away from the freeway.
PROPERTY TRANSFER
The Town and County of Marin each receive
$0.55 per $1,000 of the sales price of property
sold in San Anselmo.
ELECTRICITY & GAS FRANCHISE
The Town receives 0.5% of electrical service
revenue and 1% of gas service revenue from
PG&E in San Anselmo.
GARBAGE FRANCHISE
The Town receives a Cost-of-Service Fee,
Franchise Fee and other fees, as determined by
the Parties or the Town Council, to compensate
the Town for its solid waste-related costs, the
impacts to Town property, and the value of the
Company’s use of Town property for solid waste
related services
CABLE TV FRANCHISE
The Town receives 5% of the revenue generated
by Comcast and AT&T from San Anselmo cable
subscribers. Under current legislation, franchise
fees do not apply to high-speed internet access
charges collected by cable providers.
BUSINESS LICENSE TAX
Each business in San Anselmo is required to
have a business license. Most license fees are
based on the gross receipts of the business with
a minumum fee of $15. An administrative fee is
no longer charged.
CONSTRUCTION
Building, electrical, plumbing, heating, air,
and mechanical permits and plan check fees
Revenues have steadily increased over the past
few years due to strong building activity and

SALARIES
Salaries and salary-related costs are the largest
single expenditure for the Town, approximately
77% of the Town’s expenditures, including Fire
and Police Department contract cost.
FINAL SALARY & LEAVE BUYOUT
Employees may opt to cash out one week of
vacation per year. Upon separation from the
Town, an employee’s accrued vacation time
payout costs and any other monies due are paid
from this category.
PAYROLL TAXES
The Town participates in Social Security at a rate
of 6.2% of total salary up to a limit of $184,500 in
2026 and in Medicare at a rate of 1.45% of total
salary without limit.
OVERTIME & TEMPORARY HIRES
Costs associated with overtime pay and
temporary help.
HEALTH BENEFITS
Effective July 2025, the Town will cover the full
cost of the Kaiser medical plan based on the
employee’s coverage level. It will no longer be
under a cafeteria plan model where employees
receive an allowance to purchase healthcare
plans. Employees who waive coverage are given
“cashback” up to a cap of $365 per month.
RETIREMENT
The Town is a member of the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). The various plans are described in terms of a percentage of annual salary at a certain retirement age. For example, the 2% @ 55 plan allows an employee to retire at age 55 with 2% of their annual salary for each year of service. The Town had one retirement plan for Miscellaneous employees (2.7% @ 55) until February 2007, when a second-tier retirement plan (2% @ 55) was enacted in order to reduce retirement costs.
The current configuration of retirement plans and their rates (expressed as a percentage of payroll) are:

LABOR COSTS (CONTINUED)
In 2012-13 the Town’s PERS rate was reduced to reflect the sale of Pension Obligation Bonds to pay the Town’s Employer Side Fund liability of $3,521,184. In 2003, CalPERS combined agencies with less than 100 members into risk pools based on plan type. The Employer Side Fund was created to account for the difference between the funded status of the pool and the funded status of individual plans. The repayment of the Pension Obligation Bonds is reflected in the Expenditure Summary under General Fund Departments, Debt Service (Pension Obligation Bonds). Overall, the refinancing of the side fund is saving the Town approximately $60,000 per year.
In January 2013 the State Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) went into effect. Any person who becomes a new member of the retirement system on or after January 1, 2013 may only be offered the new pension benefit plan specified in the Reform Act. All non-safety new hires are subject to a formula providing 2% of compensation for each year of service for an individual retiring at age 62, increasing to 2.5% for an individual retiring at age 67. PEPRA employees must pay 50% of the cost of the pension, 7.75% effective July 1, 2023.
In May 2014, the CalPERS Board adopted changes to the existing pooling structure policies and a new policy for allocating the pools’ unfunded accrued liability, effective for the 2015-16 employer contribution rates. Due to unintended consequences resulting from the PEPRA changes and existing PERS policies on risk pools, changes were necessary to ensure the proper funding of the pools. In order to address the problem, CalPERS combined twelve risk pools into two, one for Safety and one for Miscellaneous. Employer contributions toward the unfunded liability for plans in a risk pool are collected as dollar amounts instead of contribution rates expressed as a percentage of payroll for an estimated 30 years.
In September 2021, the Town issued Pension Obligation Bonds to pay the Town’s Employer side unfunded liability of $9,070,378. Due to the favorable interest rate environment at the time of issuance, the projected savings over the life of the bond is estimated to be $5,351,965. The savings between the CALPERS amortization schedule and bond repayment schedule will be paid to the Pension Trust each year to alleviate any future unfunded liability concerns. For the Town, year 3 savings estimated to be paid to the Pension Trust is $47,000.
With the consolidation of Police services into the Central Marin Police Authority and Fire services into the Ross Valley Fire Department, the Safety pension costs are included in their respective budgets.

GENERAL FUND
On January 1, 2013, the San Anselmo Police Department joined the Twin Cities Police Authority, which included the City of Larkspur and the Town of Corte Madera. The new authority was named the Central Marin Police Authority (CMPA). CMPA is administered under a joint powers authority to provide police services to San Anselmo, Corte Madera, and Larkspur. The agency is governed by the Central Marin Police Authority Council, comprised of two members from each of the City/Town Councils of San Anselmo, Corte Madera, and Larkspur.
An annual budget is adopted by the Police Council and
funded through assessments to the three members. The
costs for administration, communications, and investigations are shared on an equal basis with each member paying onethird. The costs for Community Service Officers are shared on an equal basis between the Town of San Anselmo and
the City of Larkspur, since they are the only jurisdictions using them. The costs for field operations, juvenile/school resource officer, and traffic are allocated according to a funding formula based upon the number of calls for service, total crimes, citations and accidents. This method of cost allocation ensures that if one member has additional patrol field needs, the costs are fairly allocated to the town or city receiving the services.
The percentages of the Police Authority budget for the three members are: San Anselmo at 38.43%, Larkspur at 33.71%, and Corte Madera at 27.86%.
• Through continued recruitment efforts, staff
interviewed over 200 candidates, hired 10
candidates, and successfully trained 7 police
officers through the field training program
• Successfully implemented the ABEL AIgenerated police report writing system using body worn camera footage, significantly
reducing report writing time and freeing
officer time to respond to calls for service and
perform traffic safety enforcement

Marin Regional Crisis Response Unit (CRU) in
partnership with the San Rafael and Novato
Police Departments, following a yearlong joint
training and evaluation process
• The Homeless Outreach Police Evaluators

GENERAL FUND
DEBT SERVICE
In FY 2012-2013, the Town’s PERS rate was reduced to reflect the sale of Pension Obligation Bonds to pay the Town’s Employer Side Fund liability of $3,521,183.91.
In 2003, CalPERS combined agencies with less than 100 members into risk pools based on plan type. The Employer Side Fund was created to account for the difference between the funded status of the pool and the funded status of individual plans.
The repayment of the Pension Obligation Bonds is reflected in the Expenditure Summary under General Fund Departments, Debt Service (Pension Obligation Bonds). Overall, the refinancing of the side fund is saving the Town approximately $60,000 per year and $600,000 over the ten-year term. The Bonds matured in FY 2021-2022.
The Town issued Pension Obligation Bonds to pay the employer side unfunded liability in September 2021. The fifth-year payment is reflected in the FY 2026-2027 budget. Overall, the issuance of the bonds is saving the Town approximately $5 million over the life of the bonds.

This budget program represents services, participation in joint powers authorities (JPAs), and other expenditures that represent the Town’s interest and are not attributable to a single department or program.
The California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) has changed the way public entities are charged for pension costs to better reflect actual costs and to reduce unfunded liabilities. As such, members are now charged a flat fee in addition to a percentage of salary. The Town issued Pension Obligation Bonds in 2021 to pay the unfunded liability amount. The amount of savings between CalPERS amortization scheduled and bond repayment schedule will be deposited into the Pension Trust for any future unfunded liability. The amount of $47,000 is what is estimated to be deposited into the trust in FY 2025-2026.
The Town participates in several Joint Powers Authority (JPA) agencies county-wide and the costs for participation are budgeted under Outside Services.

Town of San Anselmo | Budget & Work Plan FY 2026-2027 63 FUND 45 EMERGENCY RESERVE FUND
The Emergency Reserve Fund serves as a safety
valve for unanticipated emergency needs.
Prior to FY 2003-2004, the Town’s policy was to
maintain a fund balance of $100,000 to ensure
adequate cash flow in anticipation of emergency
projects, disasters, or other unprogrammed
demands. In FY 2003-2004, $50,000 of this fund
was transferred to the General Fund.
The fund was established for use during winter
storms to respond to hazards on public and
private property. Costs associated with private
property are charged to the property owner,
for reimbursement. When costs are incurred
during emergencies that are declared to be
federal and/or state disasters and are eligible
for disaster assistance, a reimbursement claim
is filed and funds that are received are returned
to the Emergency Projects Fund.
The fund has been used to record the Town’s
expenses incurred in conjunction with the flood
that occurred on December 31, 2005, and the
April 2006 damage on Allyn Avenue. As of June
30, 2014, the Town spent a total of $7.6 million
in recovery costs and related improvements for
the two emergency events and has received
reimbursement from FEMA, OES, and flood
insurance for $4.7 million. Of the remaining $2.9
million costs, the Town has funded $1.7 million
of fire station reconstruction with a municipal
loan, leaving an unreimbursed balance of $1.2
million that was absorbed by the General Fund.
Construction costs for the firehouse remodel
exceeded the $1.7 million construction loan.
The Town has transferred $1.7 million in General
Fund money into the Emergency Projects
fund since 2005 to cover unreimbursed floodrelated expenses. The Town returned $21,729 in reimbursements to FEMA and OES that were
subsequently disallowed.
The Town has been audited with respect to the
reimbursements from FEMA and OES by the
Office of the Inspector General for the flood
expenses. The result of that report was a finding
that the Town’s expenditures were generally
within the guidelines set by the federal and
state government.
When costs are incurred by the Town but are
not eligible for reimbursement by property
owners or other agencies, the annual carryover
and/or a transfer from the General Fund is
recommended to replenish the fund for future
needs.
On March 16, 2020, the Town Manager issued
a Proclamation of the Existence of a Local
Emergency Related to COVID-19. The Town has
been recording all the expenditures that are
related to COVID-19 responses to a COVID-19
project and will submit for all qualified
reimbursements to state and federal agencies.
The Town received $157,512 Coronavirus Relief
Fund direct allocation of CARES Act funding
from the State to reimburse the costs incurred
due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the FY
2020-2021.
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the
American Rescue Plan Act which provided
funding to state and local governments to
facilitate recovery from the economic and
public health effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
The Town received $2.984 million. The deadline
to spend the funding is December 31, 2026 as
long as the funds were obligated by December
31, 2024.
The Town used American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) funds to complete the Town Hall roof
and HVAC project. The remaining funds, along
with Measure J sales tax revenue are now being
used to remodel Fire Station 20.

Town of San Anselmo | Budget & Work Plan FY 2026-2027 69 FUND 95 DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION
DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION STRATEGY MISSION STATEMENT
As a community of residents, business owners, and commercial property owners, enlisting the cooperation of the Town of San Anselmo, we endeavor to identify and define our downtown as a desirable destination, encourage businesses to meet the needs of our community and create a favorable center of increased social interaction and business.
In 1994, residents, businesspeople, and
Town officials began to create a strategy for
enhancing the appearance and vitality of
downtown San Anselmo. The Town hired Urban
Planning Consultant Michael Freedman to
lead community workshops, which resulted in
the adoption of the above mission statement,
and a strategy and priorities for improving the
downtown. Landscape architect George Girvin
was hired by the Town to create a streetscape
conceptual design, which was approved by the
Council in September 1996.
The design plan consists of adding trees, oldfashioned streetlights, outside furniture such as benches, a plaza seating area, signs, and other
improvements to the downtown. In May, 1997,
the Town hired Greenwood & Associates to
perform a study on the feasibility of raising the
funds to build these downtown improvements.
In February 1998, the Town Council adopted a
downtown revitalization plan to bring $300,000
of streetscape improvements to the downtown.
The Council authorized hiring George Girvin to
design the improvements and coordinate the
design with the undergrounding of utilities and
Measure G street repaving project.
Between 1999 and 2000, a fundraising
campaign was conducted to raise $300,000
for the streetscape project. The total results of
the fundraising campaign, including interest
revenue were $341,000.
The Downtown Revitalization Fund accounts
for the revenues and expenses related to the
Downtown Revitalization improvement project.
In Spring 1999, beating out stiff competition, San
Anselmo was awarded a $226,000 grant from
the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s
Livable Communities program to construct
entry signs to San Anselmo and improvements
to the Hub station bus shelters. A local match
of 11%, or $22,000 was required and these
improvements were completed in conjunction
with the San Anselmo 2000 Streetscape
Improvements.
With the completion of the downtown paving,
tree planting, bench placement, electrical
conduit placement, sidewalk grates and the
majority of the Town Hall Plaza work, the
main project is completed. Benches continue
to be placed as donors indicate a desire for a
memorial bench. Still to be completed is the
tree lighting. Funding is utilized for downtown
tree replacement, flower baskets, and other
miscellaneous services.

Town of San Anselmo | Budget & Work Plan FY 2026-2027 71 FUND 14 GRANTS FUND
This fund was initially established to track the revenue and expenditures related to legallyrestricted funds obtained through state grants for traffic congestion relief. The State has withheld traffic congestion funds since FY 2004-2005. The fund is currently utilized to track all grant funds associated with road resurfacing and other related capital improvement projects. It has been renamed "Grants Fund" to more accurately reflect its use.
Included in the fund in FY 2026-2027 are expenditures associated with the following grants:
Project Cost ($)
Butterfield Road Safe Routes Sidewalk 150,000
Creek Park Contraflow Bike Lane Design 166,142
CalRecycle Recycling Grant 5,000
Madrone Hawk 40,000
Safe Paths 193,000
Safe Routes 1,500,000
TOTAL 2,054,142
BUTTERFIELD ROAD SAFE ROUTES SIDEWALK
Phase 1 of the Brookside Elementary School Gap
Closure Project was constructed in FY 2021-2022
using a grant from the Transportation Authority
of Marin (TAM). CSW, located in Novato, CA, was
selected to design the project after a Request
for Proposal process. After surveying and
preliminary design, the initial engineer’s cost
estimate determined that the available funding
would only cover about one third of the original
scope.
In December 2024, staff submitted grant
applications for Phases 2 and 3 of the project
to complete the original scope (Phase 2) and
further extend the sidewalk to Carlson Avenue
(Phase 3). The maximum grant amount for each
project was limited to $450,000, however, TAM
funded both projects, and has agreed to have
Phases 2 and 3 be completed as one project
with funding of $900,000.
CREEK PARK CONTRAFLOW BIKE LANE DESIGN
Preparation of plans, specifications, and
estimates for a contraflow bicycle lane through
Creek Park connecting San Rafael to downtown
San Anselmo. Design work will establish lane
geometry, signage, pavement markings, and any
necessary drainage or grading improvements
to accommodate two-directional bicycle travel.
The completed design will position the project
for construction.
CALRECYCLE RECYCLING GRANT
CalRecycle has awarded the Town a $5,000
grant used to purchase and replace public
recycling containers as well as clean up litter in
parks, recreation areas, and roadways. The goal
of CalRecycle’s beverage container recycling
program is to reach and maintain an 80 percent
recycling rate for all California refund value
beverage containers.

GRANTS FUND
MADRONE HAWK BEACON
The Town has secured Transportation
Development Act (TDA) Article 3 grant funding
through the Transportation Authority of Marin
(TAM) and the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission (MTC). MTC requires the Town to
adopt a Resolution to formalize the funding
agreement. The grant will be used to install a
Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB), also known
as a HAWK beacon, replacing the existing
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB)
at Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Madrone
Avenue. HAWK (High Intensity Activated
Crosswalk) beacons were first tested in Tucson,
Arizona in 2000, and were adopted into the
2009 MUTCD. The system operates similarly
to a standard traffic signal: when activated, it
displays a sequence beginning with a yellow
indication followed by a solid dual-red display.
Studies show HAWK systems can achieve driverstopping compliance rates of up to 97%.
SAFE PATHS
The Town is advancing several sidewalk gap
closure projects to improve pedestrian safety
and accessibility throughout the community.
On Santa Cruz Avenue, between San Francisco
Boulevard and Los Angeles Boulevard, the
project will install new sidewalk, ADA-compliant
ramps, and crosswalk striping. Along the south
side of Woodland Avenue, between Cedar Street
and Crescent Road, sidewalk gaps will be filled
to create a continuous pedestrian path. On
Brookmead Place, a new sidewalk segment and
ADA-compliant ramp will close an existing gap
directly adjacent to the entrance of Brookside
Elementary School, improving safe access for
students and families. Finally, sidewalk gaps
along both Sycamore Avenue and Madrone
Avenue will be addressed to provide safer and
more connected walking routes. Together,
these improvements reflect the Town's ongoing
commitment to creating a more walkable,
inclusive, and accessible pedestrian network.
SAFE ROUTES
The Sequoia Park neighborhood is located
within half a mile of San Anselmo’s central
business district, and within one mile of several
key community destinations, including schools,
parks, places of worship, and trailheads. However,
the Sequoia Park neighborhood lacks sidewalks,
crosswalks, and pedestrian connectivity—issues
that residents have raised as concerns over the
years. Two Project areas in the neighborhood
requiring infrastructure improvements will be
funded through a generous contribution from
an anonymous private donor. The attached
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlines
the responsibilities of both the Town and the
donor, and the Donation Agreement outlines
a schedule of payments tied to specific project
milestones. This partnership will allow for the
timely advancement of critical improvements
while reducing the financial burden on the
Town. The two areas are:
• Project Area #1 — Red Hill & Greenfield
Avenues: Constructing a new bulb-out and
other features to increase pedestrian safety
and connectivity
• Project Area #3 — Intersection of Sequoia
Drive & Ancho Vista Avenue: Relocating
road alignment to enhance visibility and
safety

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
The Community Services Master Plan Fund was initiated in FY 2014-2015 to reflect the revenue and expenditures associated with the Community Facilities Master Planning process. This fund is intended to be used for master planning projects related to Town parks and recreation activities and facilities.
The project was initially funded by a $50,000 grant from Marin County Supervisor Katie Rice and a transfer of $60,000 from the Recreation Fund.
During the Community Facilities Master Plan process, community input was collected from a variety of community members to help develop ideas for the Town’s community facilities. A Master Plan was adopted by the Council at the end of the process, and work will continue toward the goal of carrying out the goals of the Master Plan.
At the completion of the Community Facilities Master Plan, funding was set aside to explore capital funding options.
In FY 2018-2019, the Town Council allocated $30,000 from the General Fund reserve balance for use in a public information program to increase awareness about the Memorial Park Restoration Project.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
With the adoption of the FY 2002-2003 budget, the Town Council formally recognized its commitment to the ongoing need for road maintenance beyond the resources provided by the Measure G bond funds. To provide additional funds for road maintenance, the Town Council directed staff to budget $400,000 in this fund annually. A Road Impact Fee for construction to be charged on construction projects was approved and collection of that fee began in December 2002. The road impact fee was extended to garbage vehicles in December 2004. Revenue received from the Road Impact Fee and the Garbage Impact Fee is restricted to the Road Maintenance Fund.
In FY 2026-2027, Road Impact fees for construction are estimated at $400,000. A General Fund contribution of $534,000 to the fund is included to reflect the Town’s continued commitment to road maintenance. This fund also includes Senate Bill 1 (SB) gas tax at approximately $358,728.
A new 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) was prepared by staff in 2024 based on the pavement management program report that outlines the pavement condition index (PCI) of Town streets. It was reviewed and recommended to the Town Council by the Infrastructure and Fiscal Monitoring Committee. The 5 Year CIP was approved by the Town Council in 2024.
The Plan calls for the following projects to be completed in FY 2026-2027:
PROJECT COST ($)
Salary & Benefits for Engineers (1.88 FTE) 348,300
Street Paving Project 1,150,000

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
California municipalities receive a portion of the state gasoline taxes, allocated on a per capita basis, to be used for street maintenance work. Interest earnings on any funds on deposit in the gas tax fund are required to accrue to that fund. Funds may be transferred from the gas tax fund to other funds during the year for street maintenance work.
Starting in FY 1997-1998, the full amount of gas tax revenue received in the fiscal year is transferred to the General Fund on an ongoing basis, rather than just the projected revenue amount, as long as estimated Street Maintenance costs exceed the Town’s gas tax revenue.
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), an increase in vehicle registration fees along with per-gallon gas and diesel tax increases. Distribution of funds to San Anselmo will follow the apportionment formula used for the current gas tax. Funding will be available for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on local streets and roads.

Town of San Anselmo | Budget & Work Plan FY 2026-2027 89
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
The voters of San Anselmo approved a Special Library Services Tax of $49 per parcel effective July 1, 2010. The revenue from the tax was restricted to expenditures for expanding library hours, improving children’s services at the Library, including hiring a special children’s librarian, and enhancing general Library services.
A special Library Fund was created to record the revenue from the tax measure and the allowable expenditures. Any funds that are not expended at the end of a given year remain in the Fund and are available for budgeted expenditures in future years.
The voters of San Anselmo approved a renewal of the tax in June 2014 at $54 per parcel for nine years, with an annual increase of 3% per year. A special Library Tax Oversight Committee was established with the parcel tax renewal and monitors expenditures from this fund.
In November of 2022, voters renewed the existing library parcel tax (expiring in 2024) and extended it for another nine years, until 2033. It is anticipated that the Special Library Services Tax will create projected revenue of $309,111 for the Library in 2025-26.
The Special Library Services Tax requires that the tax funding augment, not displace, funding provided by the Town. To that end, the ordinance requires that the tax continues to be levied only if Town funding of the library remains above 90% of the amount budgeted for 2012-2013 ($449,765).
The $449,765 figure was arrived at by taking the 2012-2013 Library budget ($545,685) and subtracting the budgeted donations from the Friends of the Library ($14,426), budgeted State library funding ($4,290) and budgeted library fines ($27,230). 90% of $499,739 is $449,765.
The amount budgeted in the General Fund for the Library in this proposed budget is $926,729, which is within the allowable parameters established in the Special Library Tax Services measure.

92 Town of San Anselmo | Budget & Work Plan FY 2026-2027 The Robson House is an elegant mansion that was donated to the Town in 1968, with the agreement that it be used for the benefit of the community’s children. In 1978, a Robson-Harrington House Association was formed to restore, manage, and maintain the house as a civic, educational, recreational, and cultural center. In 2005, the Association was unable to find new board members willing to take on the considerable responsibilities of the house and the organization disbanded.
Management of the house has reverted to the Town.
Revenue from the rental of the upstairs offices has been sufficient over the past years to cover the ongoing operation and routine maintenance of the house. However, since FY 2011-2012, personnel, utility, and maintenance costs have risen to the point that rental revenue does not cover the regular costs. Rental increases were implemented in FY 2015-2016, but even with a rental increase, rental revenue is not sufficient to cover the considerable deferred maintenance work and capital improvements that are needed to restore and maintain the house.
The Town took over management of Robson House between 2006 and 2007.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
This fund was established in FY 2000-2001 to track the revenues and expenses associated with the annual special events sponsored by the Town.
The fund was opened with a balance comprised of the proceeds from 1996 Country Fair Day, which was organized and managed by the Town for the first time in many years.
The fund was utilized in 2007 to fund events commemorating the Town’s centennial anniversary.
Over the years the events that the Town offers to our community have changed. The fund continues to be used to support Town events, such as the Live on the Avenue music series, the Goblins Bootacular, Children’s Egg Hunts, Breakfast with Santa, and Teen Battle of the Bands. Recreation staff fundraises for these events.
$82,882 is committed for expenditures for the annual Town events.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Revenue and expenditures associated with San Anselmo’s share of the Marin County one-quarter per cent (0.25%) transactions and use tax, entitled Marin Parks, Open Space, and Farmland Preservation Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance are accounted for in this fund. Countywide, the tax is estimated to generate $10,000,000 per year for ten years. Fifteen per cent (15%) of the Measure A revenue is allocated to cities, towns, and special districts. San Anselmo’s share is 6.65% of that revenue.
The Town Council annually determines the distribution of these funds. For FY 2014-2015, and including the partial funding for FY 2013-2014, $55,494 was contributed to the Sky Ranch open space acquisition and $66,794 to Memorial Park improvements.
In FY 2015-2016 and going forward, the Town Council decided that on an ongoing basis, 70% of the annual funding will go to Memorial Park and 30% to open space acquisition.
On January 26, 2021, the Town Council approved the Memorial Park Playing Field Repair Project for an estimated amount of $675,000, which $47,000 will come from General Fund Reserve and approximately $439,000 from Measure A Parks Tax Fund to supplement $177,982 from State Proposition 68 Per Capita funding. The project was completed in FY 2022-2023.
In FY 2023-2024, the Town Council approved a donation towards Open Space’s purchase of Upper Hawthorne Canyon from Measure A for $202,560.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
In 2019, 17 Marin County agencies with fire prevention responsibilities formed the Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority (MWPA) through a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement. MWPA’s mission is to:
• Organize and sustain local wildfire prevention, including early detection, warning, and alerts • Reducing vegetation
• Ensuring defensible space around homes, neighborhoods and critical infrastructure • Improving disaster evacuation routes and procedures
The Marin Wildfire Prevention Measure, levying up to ten cents per building square foot tax ($75 per multi-family unit) for ten years, providing $19,300,000 annually, with annual inflation adjustments, independent citizen oversight/audits, and low-income senior exemptions.
Defensible space, fire-resistant structure evaluations, and mitigation of fire threats thereof, will be funded by 20% of the tax measure proceeds and will be done on a shared service basis or by a responsible member agency.
Local-specific wildfire prevention efforts will be funded by 20% of the tax measure proceeds and allocated to each member agency in proportion to revenue raised in each member agency's respective tax rate areas. Member agencies must certify that the tax measure proceeds are used consistently with the purpose of MWPA and that the tax measure expenses result in a higher level of service than would otherwise be provided by the member agency.
The approximate allocation to the Town is $410,000 in FY 2026-2027.

104 Town of San Anselmo | Budget & Work Plan FY 2026-2027
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
On June 11, 2019, the Town Council adopted
Resolution No. 4286, approving the San Anselmo
Climate Action Plan 2030 (CAP). The CAP serves
as the Town’s long-term roadmap for addressing
climate change through measurable local actions
and programs designed to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions by 54% by 2030, compared to 2005
levels, and achieve community-wide carbon
neutrality by no later than 2045.
Building on this commitment, the Town Council
adopted Resolution No. 4325 on February
11, 2020, formally declaring a Climate and
Ecological Emergency in San Anselmo. This
action directed the Town Manager and staff to
prioritize consistency with the Climate Action
Plan in Town operations, programs, and Council
decision-making. The resolution also established
the Town’s commitment to dedicate annual
funding toward greenhouse gas reduction and
climate mitigation efforts beginning in FY 2020–
2021. In response, the FY 2020–2021 budget
included Appendix B, which tracked anticipated
expenditures related to Climate Action Plan
implementation.
With the adoption of the FY 2021–2022 budget,
the Town Council formally recognized the
ongoing need to invest resources toward
implementation of the Climate Action Plan and
established the Climate Action Fund. The fund
was created to strengthen the Town’s ability
to develop and implement climate initiatives
at the municipal level while also providing
transparency to the public regarding climaterelated spending and progress. The Climate Action Fund is supported primarily through
annual transfers from the Town’s General Fund.
In FY 2021–2022, the Town allocated $50,000 to
establish a part-time Climate Action Coordinator
position and support related implementation
efforts. The position was created to help identify
and advance climate policies, programs,
partnerships, and grant opportunities aligned
with the Town’s climate goals and the San
Anselmo 2021–2023 Work Plan Priorities.
Over the past four fiscal years, the General
Fund has contributed approximately $105,000
annually to support Climate Action Fund
activities. These resources have supported the
Town’s share of the part-time Climate Action
Coordinator position, consultant services,
grant identification and grant management
assistance, and a variety of climate action
initiatives. Funded programs and projects have
included SolarAPP+ implementation, SB 1383
compliance efforts, resilience hub planning and
development, EV charging and micromobility
pilot projects, rebate and incentive programs for
electric landscaping equipment, heat pumps,
and E-bikes, Zero Waste initiatives, community
EV and E-bike events, and public outreach
and educational materials. Together, these
investments have helped advance the Town’s
climate goals while building local capacity to
respond to climate-related challenges and
opportunities.
For FY 2026–2027, the General Fund transfer is
proposed to decrease to $80,000 in response
to ongoing General Fund budget constraints.
This adjustment represents a $25,000 reduction
from prior year funding levels and has been
incorporated into the proposed expenditure
plan for the Climate Action Fund. Despite this
reduction, the fund is expected to continue
supporting key climate initiatives and related
staffing and consultant resources.
The Climate Action Fund is estimated to carry
a reserve balance of approximately $104,000
at the end of FY 2025–2026 and $75,000 at the
end of FY 2026–2027. Maintaining this reserve
provides the Town with financial flexibility to
address emerging priorities, unexpected costs,
grant matching opportunities, or one-time
climate projects that may arise during the fiscal
year, while helping ensure continuity of climate
action programs without requiring additional
General Fund support.

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

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND
On June 21, 2023, the Town Council adopted Resolution 4507: A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of San Anselmo Adopting an Active Transportation Fund Description and Active Transportation Fund Expenditure Guidelines (sananselmo.gov/Resolution4507).
In creating the Active Transportation Fund, the Town Council affirms the need to identify and implement priority active transportation infrastructure projects beyond the Town’s historical practice of adding “Complete Streets” elements to its existing paving and slurry seal program. Thus, the Active Transportation Fund is intended to be used towards infrastructure projects independent from the ongoing implementation of Complete Streets features that are installed in tandem with larger capital projects.
Furthermore, the Town Council encourages that projects funded through the Active Transportation Fund should generally not be directed primarily or exclusively towards visual treatments (e.g. sharrows, striping, high visibility crosswalks, and Class III bicycle lanes) and should instead be allocated primarily to infrastructure and hardscape treatments that create physical safety, traffic calming effects, and enhanced accessibility and usability for all active transportation users.

112 Town of San Anselmo | Budget & Work Plan FY 2026-2027
CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND
The Capital Reconstruction Fund accounts for the revenues and expenses of capital projects. It is funded primarily by the General Fund. Prior to the funding crisis beginning in 2003, Town policy had been to make a transfer from current year General Fund revenues, which is generally 70% of the amount of the prior year’s General Fund carryover (excess of revenues carried over from the prior year, less any transfer needed to replenish the Emergency Projects Fund). Because of the funding shortfalls in the past several years, Council has opted to allocate funds where they are most needed.
Projects are funded on a prioritized basis, based on health, safety, liability, cost-benefit, cost avoidance, and ability to deliver services, and categorized according to prior commitments (whether by written agreement with an outside entity, or by policy direction), liability/safety, and other. The project expenditures are typically categorized as follows:
COMMITMENTS DUE TO GRANTS AND LOANS
These are projects for which the Town has
entered into written agreements for repayment
of funds, or for which the Town would be
responsible for returning funds to the grantee;
in some cases, these funds have already been
spent.
RECOMMENDED DUE TO LIABILITY AND/OR
SAFETY CONCERNS
The projects in this category have been
identified as having safety and/or liability risks
for the Town if they are not accomplished.
RECOMMENDED BASED ON PRIOR
COMMITMENTS AND/OR DIRECTION
These are projects for which Council has
previously appropriated funds, established by
policy as a priority, or given direction to staff to
accomplish.
OTHER PROJECTS
These projects or other funding
recommendations do not fit into another
category. The unprogrammed projects
appropriation is used to fund unanticipated
and emergency needs and cost overruns in
budgeted projects.

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND
The Equipment Replacement Fund accounts for revenues that are restricted or otherwise designated for the purchase of Town equipment.
In the past, the Town did not have an adopted equipment replacement schedule and funding program but instead scheduled equipment acquisition and replacement as funds are available.
The Town has allocated about $200,000 each year for the last ten years from the General Fund to the Equipment Fund to fund the following costs:
• Town-wide computer hardware/software replacement or acquisition • The debt service payment for the Marin Emergency Radio Authority (MERA) Bonds • Vehicle lease payment for three electronic vehicles
• Fund Town’s Climate Action Plan activities
During FY 2020-2021, the Town updated its inventory listings for Vehicle and Technology programs.
The Town decided to create two separate Internal Services Funds: Technologies Replacement and Vehicle Replacement funds to maintain the Town’s future Technology and Vehicle replacement activities.

DEBT SERVICE FUND
In June 1995, the San Anselmo voters approved a $10.8 million general obligation bond measure, known as Measure G, to finance improvements to the Town’s streets, storm drains, and Library building. This fund is dedicated to the collection of property tax assessments for the repayment of principal and interest on the bonds. As required by law, it was segregated from the Measure G Bond Proceeds Fund which was dedicated to the receipt and expenditure of the $10.8 million bond funds.
A separate fund was established for each issue. The Measure G bond proceeds are fully expended. 1995-1996 1.4 cents

2026-2027 HIGHLIGHTS
On July 1, 1996, the Town became a member of the Bay Cities Joint Powers Insurance Authority (BCJPIA), a self-insurance pool that provides liability insurance coverage to twenty agencies in the Bay Area. Each member agency selects a self-insured retention limit. With the transition to Central Marin Police Authority for police services, the Town’s self-insured retention has been reduced to $10,000 (from the previous amount of $100,000), below which the agency pays the claim costs. The insurance authority is responsible for costs above the limit, although it purchases excess insurance coverage for costs above $1 million, up to $34 million. A premium for coverage is charged based on the self-insured limit selected, the member agency’s claim history and exposure, and the financial standing of the pool. Beginning in FY 1999-2000, BCJPIA coverage includes personnel-related liabilities.
Until June 30, 2003, the Town was a member of the Marin County Risk Management Authority (MCRMA), a self-insurance pool for workers’ compensation coverage. Called an “account pool,” this self-insurance program maintained separate accounts for each pool member. Losses and expenses were paid from the members’ pool account up to the self-insured retention limit.
Effective July 1, 2003, the MCRMA group transferred to the BCJPIA, as the MCRMA Program Administrator retired. The Town’s self-insured retention in the BCJPIA Workers' Compensation pool is $150,000. Costs more than this limit are paid by the BCJPIA, although it purchases excess insurance coverage from a commercial insurance agency.
Annually, Bay Cities evaluates the financial risk position of each member and establishes an annual assessment based on outstanding claims and claim history.
An internal service charge of $835,000 has been made to the General Fund Non-Departmental budget to ensure an adequate claims reserve, as required by BCJPIA.

The Building Maintenance Fund is to account for the costs of operation of the Town’s buildings, maintenance and repair of the Town’s buildings and accumulate funding for major improvements in the future.
Staff will continue to evaluate the fund and other operating activities that relate to building maintenance, such as custodial services, routine preventative maintenance, and repairs for municipal buildings and facilities, as well as restrooms and structures at Town parks. The goal is to develop a program that provides routine custodial services, preventative maintenance, and capital improvement at the Town facilities to ensure a clean, safe, well-maintained, and accessible environment for use by the community and Town employees.

128 Town of San Anselmo | Budget & Work Plan FY 2026-2027
INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
The Vehicle Replacement Fund accounts for the
costs of operating and maintaining the Town’s
vehicle program.
During the FY 2020-2021, the Town updated
its vehicle inventory list and developed a
replacement strategy. Historically, vehicle
replacement, repair, or lease expenses have been
budgeted in the Equipment Fund or run through
the Public Works Department operating cost.
On February 13, 2024, the Town Council adopted
Resolution No. 2024-4527: A Resolution of the
Town of San Anselmo Town Council Adopting a
Fleet Zero-Emissions Vehicle Policy (sananselmo.
gov/resolution4527). The purpose of the policy
is to document the process and department
responsibilities for purchasing and managing the
Town’s vehicle fleet in a manner that minimizes
GHG emissions and considers life-cycle costs
when purchasing fleet vehicles. The policy helps
implement several measures from the Town’s
Climate Action Plan, ensures compliance with
the Advanced Clean Fleets regulation, saves
the Town money through reduced fuel and
maintenance costs by purchasing ZEVs, and
would serve as a model for the community
by transitioning to ZEVs in a timely and costeffective manner. Furthermore, the policy is focused on reducing vehicle size/weight and
optimizing the fleet size to reduce overall fleet
management costs and reduce environmental
impacts associated with the manufacturing and
distribution of new vehicles.
Staff will continue to look for opportunities to use
alternative fuel vehicles or other opportunities
to reduce air pollution.

It is unfair and unwise that the climate fund will be cut at a higher percentage than any other budget item and any prior years unspent funds will be taken away. Dollars spent on reducing emissions will prevent future expenditures from weather related disasters. I appreciate all the town has done to lower emissions contributing to this existential threat we face. Other jurisdictions have followed our lead. We cannot stop leading now. Cutting the Climate fund or its savings is a grave mistake.

CAUTION: External Sender
Here is what I would like to be forwarded :
I’m sorry, my earlier comment was based on faulty information. As I understand it now, the Climate fund is actually going to be increased by $5000 from the reserve. I am hoping that the reserves will stay with the Climate fund in the future. Again, I apologize for a comment that wasn’t accurate.

Cuts to climate fund are wrong
From Sue Saunders <[email protected]>
Date Tue 6/9/2026 1:20 PM
To Town Council <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Apparently, there was a lot of confusion around budget cuts to the climate fund. Unfortunately, we got to the bottom of it and there is going to be over 30% cut from the Climate fund. It’s unclear whether we also lose our reserves in this 2026/27 budget. We didn’t even know we had reserves. They could have gone to rebates for E bikes, E bike lockers, or parking for bikes. We could’ve also used it to provide a small rebate for a homeowner or MFH owner who installs an EV charger. We were just never made aware that there was outstanding funds to be used or lose.
I hope you will keep in mind my original comment on the agenda for this item. We need to keep the Climate fund with its originally designated $150,000 amount. We need to keep our reserves. I’m sure you all know the climate crisis is real and it’s coming for us. We can’t step off the pedal now. I’m sorry for the confusion. It just took us a lot of digging to get the right information.
Thank you,

Comments on the proposed FY 2026-2027 Budget

Date Tue 6/9/2026 4:20 PM
To Town Council <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Given all the headwinds against climate action that we face coming from the Federal government, it is imperative that we maintain forms of local funding for climate initiatives.
We do appreciate that the proposed budget maintains the current level of expenditures for the Climate Action Fund, but drawing from reserves to do that is not sustainable. We urge the Council to restore the funding to, at a minimum, current expenditure levels. As noted in a previous comment, we have not had adequate visibility into all the uses of the Climate Action Fund’s assets, else we would have proposed appropriate projects to make use of those funds.
At a near term future date, we will present proposals that will advance the use of ebikes, EV chargers, home electrification and other projects by the residents of San Anselmo. We hope that the Council will be receptive to our proposals.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #:2.3
MEETING DATE: June 9, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Introduction of Proposed General Fund Reserve Policy
FROM: Jeff Zuba, Finance & Admin Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council receive this staff report as an informational item and provide direction on the proposed General Fund Reserve Policy.
BACKGROUND
The Town of San Anselmo’s General Fund reserve policy has evolved over time to reflect the Town’s growing emphasis on long-term fiscal health and financial stability.
The reserve was first established at 10% of General Fund expenditures by Resolution No. 3962, adopted June 28, 2011. In February 2023, the Town Council adopted Resolution No. 4474, increasing the reserve level to 20% of General Fund expenditures and transfers out to other funds, recognizing that a stronger reserve position better protects the Town against revenue volatility, economic downturns, and unanticipated costs.
Resolution No. 4474 (Attachment 1), which represents the Town’s current policy, establishes the 20% reserve level but does not include provisions governing how and when the reserve may be accessed, what level of Town Council approval is required, or how the reserve is to be restored if used.
This staff report is presented in direct response to a request from Vice Mayor Walker and supported by a majority of the Council that staff review the existing General Fund reserve policy and develop updated governance provisions. The Infrastructure & Fiscal Monitoring Committee met on June 1, 2026, and reviewed the proposed General Fund Reserve Policy. The majority of the Committee supported the proposed Policy and recommended the Town Council adopt the Policy.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Current Policy (Resolution No. 4474): As noted above, the Town’s existing policy sets a reserve requirement of 20% of General Fund expenditures and transfers out. It does not specify the circumstances under which the reserve may be used, the level of Town Council approval required to access it, or a framework for restoration if the reserve falls below the 20% threshold.
249
Item #: 2.3
Proposed Policy: The proposed General Fund Reserve Policy (Attachment 2) retains the 20% floor established by Resolution No. 4474, and includes the following governance provisions:
• Reserve structure: The proposed Policy establishes a two-tier General Fund balance structure with a required floor and an aspirational goal. Twenty percent (20%) of annual budgeted General Fund expenditures and transfers out is designated as the Committed Fund Balance, constituting the Town’s required General Fund Reserve floor. In addition, the Policy establishes a goal of maintaining a total fund balance of 25% by retaining at least 5% of budgeted expenditures and transfers out as Unassigned Fund Balance. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 54, Committed Fund Balance may only be established, modified, or appropriated by formal Town Council action. All General Fund balance appropriations, including any fund balance above the 25% goal, require formal Town Council action.
• Eligible uses: The proposed Policy defines the circumstances under which the Committed Fund Balance Reserve may be appropriated. These situations are limited to significant revenue shortfalls, unanticipated emergency expenditures, and one-time strategic investments with documented long-term benefit, and temporary budget stabilization during a defined transition period. • Approval authority: The proposed Policy specifies that any appropriation from the Committed Fund Balance Reserve requires a formal Town Council resolution and a written staff report. The Town Manager may approve emergency expenditures up to $100,000 when a local emergency has been declared and the Town Council cannot be convened, subject to Council ratification within 30 days. • Restoration framework: When the Committed Fund Balance Reserve falls below the 20% target, the proposed Policy requires the Finance & Administrative Services Director is required to present a written Restoration Plan to the Town Council within 90 days. Restoration timelines are scaled to the size of the shortfall, ranging from one fiscal year for minor shortfalls to up to five fiscal years for significant ones.
• Annual reporting: The Finance & Administrative Services Director will report on both the Committed Fund Balance Reserve and Unassigned Fund Balance levels, compliance status, and restoration progress to the Town Council as part of each annual budget presentation.
• Policy review: If adopted, the proposed Policy will be reviewed no less than biennially, with proposed amendments first reviewed by the Infrastructure & Fiscal Monitoring Committee before presentation to the Town Council. 250
Item #: 2.3
The proposed Policy is consistent with best practices recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), which recommends a minimum unrestricted fund balance of at least two months of operations (approximately 16.7%). The Town’s 20% floor exceeds this standard.
Peer Comparison: San Anselmo’s 20% floor is consistent with or below reserve levels maintained by comparable Marin County jurisdictions:
Jurisdiction Reserve Policy
Town of San Anselmo (proposed) 20% floor / 25% goal
Town of Fairfax 25%
Town of Corte Madera 25% – 30%
City of Larkspur 25%
City of Novato 15%
City of San Rafael 15%
Town of Ross 30%
Town of Belvedere 50%
GFOA Recommended Minimum 16.7%
Revenue Concentration Risk: Property tax accounts for approximately 78% of the Town’s General Fund operating revenue. This concentration means that a sustained decline in assessed values or a change in state property tax allocation could have an outsized impact on Town revenues. A strong reserve floor directly mitigates this risk by providing a cushion to maintain services through a revenue downturn.
General Fund Reserve History: The table below shows the Town’s General Fund reserve position over the past 10 fiscal years. The fund balance column reflects the June 30 balance from the prior year audited financial statements; the budgeted expenditures column reflects the adopted budget for the fiscal year being protected.
Prior to FY 2025-26, the fund balance combines Committed and Unassigned Fund Balance to reflect the Town’s true reserve position.

FY 2025-26 (est.) $23,795,532 $6,352,167 26.7%
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of this policy has no direct fiscal impact. It does not change the 20% reserve level established by Resolution No. 4474, and it does not require any new appropriations or fund transfers. The policy establishes governance rules for how existing fund balances are managed and protected going forward.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Council’s discussion of the General Fund Reserve Policy 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).
CONCLUSION
Staff requests that the Town Council:
• Receive and review the proposed General Fund Reserve Policy (Attachment 2);
• Provide any comments, direction, or feedback to staff; and • Direct staff to return with a final policy and resolution for adoption. 252

TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO
GENERAL FUND RESERVE POLICY
Adopted by the Town Council of the Town of San Anselmo by Resolution No. [____], superseding Resolution No. 4474 (February 14, 2023). The Town’s General Fund reserve was first established at 10% of General Fund expenditures by Resolution No. 3962 (June 28, 2011), increased to 20% by Resolution No. 4474 (February 14, 2023), and further strengthened by this Policy to include formal governance provisions for use, approval authority, and restoration of the fund balance floor.
I. PURPOSE
It is the policy of the Town of San Anselmo to maintain sound financial management practices that promote long-term fiscal stability and the continued delivery of essential municipal services. The purpose of this General Fund Reserve Policy is to:
• Establish and maintain a minimum reserve level to protect the Town against revenue shortfalls, economic downturns, and unanticipated expenditures; • Define the circumstances under which reserves may be accessed; • Establish the approval authority required to appropriate reserve funds; • Provide a clear framework for replenishing reserves once they have been used; and • Ensure transparency and accountability in the Town’s financial decision-making.
This Policy is intended to complement the Town’s annual budget process and is consistent with best practices recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).
II. BACKGROUND
The General Fund is the Town’s primary operating fund, supporting core municipal services including public safety, public works, parks and recreation, and general government administration.
Strong reserves are a cornerstone of financial health, enabling the Town to:
• Weather economic downturns and revenue volatility without service disruption; • Respond to unforeseen emergencies, disasters, or extraordinary expenditures; • Maintain strong credit ratings that lower the cost of borrowing; and • Avoid reactive, short-term fiscal measures such as drastic service cuts. 255
The Town’s General Fund Reserve was first established at 10% of General Fund expenditures by Resolution No. 3962 (June 28, 2011), and subsequently increased to 20% by Resolution No. 4474 (February 14, 2023). This Policy supersedes Resolution No. 4474 and adds formal governance provisions governing the use and replenishment of the reserve, while preserving the 20% reserve target established therein.
The GFOA recommends that local governments maintain a minimum unrestricted fund balance of no less than two months (approximately 16.7%) of annual General Fund operating expenditures.
The Town’s 20% reserve target meets and exceeds this standard.
III. RESERVE TARGET LEVEL
General Fund Reserve Structure
Minimum Floor: 20% of Annual General Fund Expenditures and Transfers Out held as Committed Fund Balance (required)
—
Goal: 25% of Annual General Fund Expenditures and Transfers Out 20% Committed Fund Balance + 5% Unassigned Fund Balance (aspirational) Fund balance above 25% remains available for Town Council appropriation by formal action The Town shall maintain a Committed Fund Balance in the General Fund equal to 20% of annual General Fund budgeted expenditures and transfers out to other funds, as reflected in the adopted budget for the immediately succeeding fiscal year. This amount constitutes the Town’s required General Fund Reserve floor.
In addition to the required 20% floor, the Town establishes an aspirational goal of maintaining a total General Fund balance of 25% of annual budgeted expenditures and transfers out. To achieve this goal, the Unassigned Fund Balance should equal at least 5% of the subsequent fiscal year’s budgeted expenditures and transfers out. The 25% goal is not a mandatory minimum and does not trigger the restoration requirements of Section VI; however, the Finance & Administrative Services Director shall report annually on progress toward the goal and year-end surpluses shall be directed toward achieving it as a first priority.
Any General Fund balance in excess of the 25% goal shall be classified as Unassigned Fund Balance and may be appropriated by the Town Council for any lawful purpose by formal Council action.
For example, if the total General Fund balance equals 27% of budgeted expenditures and transfers out, 20% shall be held as Committed Fund Balance (the required Reserve), 5% shall be retained as Unassigned Fund Balance toward the 25% goal, and the remaining 2% may be appropriated by the Town Council for any lawful purpose by formal Council action. 256
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 54, Committed Fund Balance may only be established, modified, or appropriated by formal action of the Town Council, the Town’s highest level of decision-making authority. This Policy, adopted by Town Council resolution, constitutes the formal action establishing the Committed Fund Balance. Any subsequent reduction or appropriation of the Committed Fund Balance requires a separate Town Council resolution or formal Council action as set forth in Section V.
The 20% floor and 25% goal shall be calculated annually as part of the budget adoption process.
This definition is consistent with Resolution No. 4474, adopted February 14, 2023, which this Policy supersedes.
IV. ELIGIBLE USES OF THE COMMITTED FUND BALANCE RESERVE The Committed Fund Balance Reserve exists as a fiscal safety net and shall not be used for routine or ongoing operating expenditures. Because the Committed Fund Balance may only be reduced by formal Town Council action, any appropriation from the Reserve requires the approval set forth in Section V.
Appropriations from the Committed Fund Balance Reserve are limited to the following circumstances:
A. Revenue Shortfalls
• Significant and unanticipated declines in General Fund revenues relative to adopted budget projections, including but not limited to:
◦ Declines in sales tax, property tax, or other economically sensitive revenues due to recession or economic disruption;
◦ Loss of a major revenue source due to changes in state or federal law.
B. Unanticipated Emergency Expenditures
• Costs arising from a declared local emergency, natural disaster, public health crisis, or other catastrophic event that cannot be absorbed within the existing operating budget; • Extraordinary legal judgments or settlements not covered by insurance or litigation reserves; • Critical infrastructure failures requiring immediate repair to protect public safety.
C. One-Time Strategic Investments
• One-time expenditures that produce documented long-term efficiencies, cost savings, or revenue enhancements for the General Fund, provided the Town Council makes specific findings as to the anticipated benefit.
257
D. Temporary Budget Stabilization
• Bridge funding to maintain service levels during a short-term, defined transition period, with a corresponding plan to restore structural balance.
Note: The Committed Fund Balance Reserve shall not be used to fund new ongoing programs, fill recurring structural deficits, or supplement normal departmental operating budgets without a corresponding plan to restore the Reserve within the timeframes set forth in Section VI.
V. APPROVAL AUTHORITY
Because the Committed Fund Balance may only be established, modified, or appropriated by the Town’s highest level of decision-making authority, any appropriation from the Committed Fund Balance Reserve requires formal Town Council action. No administrative action, budget transfer, or mid-year amendment may reduce the Committed Fund Balance Reserve without a separate Town Council resolution or formal Council approval.
Any request to appropriate from the Committed Fund Balance Reserve must be accompanied by a written staff report that includes: (1) the current Reserve balance and percentage relative to budgeted expenditures and transfers out; (2) the specific amount requested and purpose; (3) the projected Reserve balance following the appropriation; and (4) a preliminary Restoration Plan per Section VI.

Any such action must be reported to and ratified by the Town Council within 30 days.
VI. RESTORATION OF THE COMMITTED FUND BALANCE RESERVE
258
Whenever the Committed Fund Balance Reserve falls below the 20% target, whether through a deliberate Town Council appropriation or year-end operating results, the Finance & Administrative Services Director shall notify the Town Council and the following restoration framework applies:
A. Restoration Plan Requirement
No later than 90 days following the Town Council action or year-end close that caused the Committed Fund Balance Reserve to fall below 20%, the Finance & Administrative Services Director shall present a written Restoration Plan to the Town Council. The Restoration Plan shall include:
1. The dollar amount needed to restore the Committed Fund Balance Reserve to the 20% target;
2. The proposed restoration timeline (see Section VI.B below);
3. Identified funding sources or budget adjustments to achieve restoration; and
4. Interim milestones and annual progress benchmarks.
B. Replenishment Timeline
The replenishment timeline shall be scaled to the size and nature of the drawdown:
Up to 25% below target (e.g., actual
balance 15–20%)
Within 1 fiscal year Majority vote by resolution
25–50% below target (e.g., actual
balance 10–15%)
Within 2 fiscal years Majority vote by resolution +
annual progress report
More than 50% below target (e.g.,
actual balance below 10%)
Within 3–5 fiscal years Majority vote by resolution +
annual progress report + midyear updates
C. Restoration Sources
Restoration of the Committed Fund Balance Reserve to the 20% target shall be accomplished through one or more of the following mechanisms, in order of preference:
5. Year-end General Fund operating surpluses designated by Council resolution for transfer to the Committed Fund Balance Reserve;
6. Annual budget set-asides specifically appropriated for Reserve restoration;
7. One-time revenues (e.g., grants, asset sales, settlements) not needed for ongoing operations; or
8. Reductions in non-essential or discretionary expenditures identified through the budget process.
Restoration progress shall be identified and reflected in the annual budget adopted by the Town Council and shall continue until the Committed Fund Balance Reserve is restored to the 20% target. 259
D. Annual Reporting
The Finance & Administrative Services Director shall include the following in each year’s annual budget document and present it to the Town Council:
• The Committed Fund Balance Reserve as of June 30 of the prior fiscal year, expressed in dollars and as a percentage of budgeted expenditures and transfers out for the current fiscal year;
• The Unassigned Fund Balance as of June 30 of the prior fiscal year, expressed in dollars and as a percentage of budgeted expenditures and transfers out; • The combined total fund balance as a percentage of budgeted expenditures and transfers out, measured against both the 20% required floor and the 25% aspirational goal; • Whether the Town is in compliance with the 20% required floor; • Whether the Town has achieved the 25% aspirational goal, and if not, the gap and projected timeline to reach it;
• If below the 20% floor, the status of the active Restoration Plan and the projected date of return to compliance; and
• Any recommended adjustments to the reserve floor, goal, or policy provisions.
VII. RESTRICTIONS ON USE
The following restrictions apply to all appropriations from the Committed Fund Balance Reserve:
• Reserve funds shall not be used to fund ongoing, recurring operating costs unless accompanied by an adopted plan to achieve structural budget balance within two fiscal years;
• Reserve funds shall not be used to fund new programs or expanded services without an identified ongoing revenue source to sustain those programs in future years; • Any appropriation from the Reserve shall be treated as a one-time funding source and shall not be incorporated as a baseline revenue assumption in subsequent fiscal year budgets.
VIII. ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING
The Finance & Administrative Services Director is responsible for the administration of this Policy, including annual calculation of the 20% Reserve target, monitoring the Committed Fund Balance Reserve and Unassigned Fund Balance throughout the year, and preparing required reports to the Town Council.
For accounting and financial reporting purposes, the Town’s General Fund balance shall be classified in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 260
54. The 20% Reserve shall be reported as “Committed Fund Balance” in the Town’s annual financial statements, as it is established by formal Town Council resolution and may only be modified or appropriated by subsequent Town Council action. Any fund balance in excess of the 20% Committed Fund Balance shall be reported as “Unassigned Fund Balance.” Both amounts shall be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and in the annual budget document.
Investment of General Fund balances, including the Committed Fund Balance Reserve, shall be governed by the Town’s adopted Investment Policy and applicable provisions of the California Government Code.
IX. POLICY REVIEW AND AMENDMENTS
This Policy shall be reviewed by the Town Council no less than every two (2) years as part of the annual budget process, or more frequently as conditions warrant. Any amendments to this Policy shall require Town Council approval by resolution. Proposed changes shall first be reviewed by the Infrastructure & Fiscal Monitoring Committee prior to presentation to the full Town Council. 261

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.4
MEETING DATE: June 9, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Acceptable Use Policy
FROM: Jeff Zuba, Finance & Admin Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council receive this staff report as an informational item and provide direction on the proposed Artificial Intelligence (AI) Acceptable Use Policy.
BACKGROUND
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI) has grown rapidly and is now embedded in many tools used across local government operations, from document drafting and data analysis to traffic management and public communications. Many of these tools incorporate AI without explicit disclosure, and staff across all departments are likely already encountering AI-assisted features in day-to-day work.
The Finance & Administration Services Director and Management Analyst reviewed AI governance resources developed by peer agencies to assess whether a formal policy was warranted for San Anselmo. Staff reviewed materials from the following sources:
• GovAI Coalition, a collaborative of cities and counties led by the City of San Jose, which has developed model governance frameworks for public agencies • City of San Rafael, which adopted its AI Acceptable Use Policy in September 2025
• Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM), which adopted an AI Usage Policy in April 2026
• California Society of Municipal Finance Officers
• County of Marin
This policy was requested by Councilmember Schlesinger and supported by the full Town Council. In response, staff developed this policy discussion presented here for Council’s review and direction.
262
Item #: 2.4
DISCUSSION
Policy Overview
The proposed AI Acceptable Use Policy establishes principles and operational guardrails for the responsible use of AI by the Town of San Anselmo. It applies to all Town employees, contractors, consultants, volunteers, and vendors. The policy is organized around the following sections:
• Guiding Principles: Ten core values that together establish the Town’s commitment to responsible, equitable, and human-centered AI use • Roles and Responsibilities: Clear accountability for the Town Manager or designee, Town Attorney, Town Clerk, Department Directors, the Town’s Information Technology contractor, and all staff: each with defined responsibilities spanning policy enforcement, legal review, records compliance, technical risk assessment, and day-to-day use
• Acceptable Uses: Permitted applications such as drafting, data analysis, translation, and accessibility support
• AI Use Requirements: Ten operational requirements including fact-checking outputs, protecting PII, obtaining approvals, and reporting incidents • Prohibited Uses: Activities such as fully automated high-impact decisions, facial recognition, mass surveillance, and generation of misleading content • Procurement and Approval: Separate processes for tool approval (e.g., generalpurpose AI platforms) and vendor approval (e.g., third parties building or deploying AI systems on behalf of the Town); vendor approvals follow the Town Manager’s existing contracting authority, with contracts requiring data ownership, security, and audit rights provisions, and vendors completing an AI FactSheet providing standardized technical documentation
• Training: Onboarding orientation plus annual refreshers for all staff • Governance and Review: Annual policy review, Public Records Act compliance, and incident reporting requirements
• Exceptions: Process for documented exceptions including a 30-day review window for emergency use cases
• Restricted Platform Alternatives: Commitment to providing staff with approved alternative tools if certain AI platforms are restricted • Violations: Disciplinary and contractual consequences for non-compliance Key Policy Emphases
The policy was designed with three priorities in mind:
• AI as a tool, not a decision-maker: Human oversight is non-negotiable 263
Item #: 2.4
• Empowerment through guardrails: Staff are not expected to avoid AI, but to use it responsibly and with appropriate validation of outputs
• Living document: The policy will be updated at least annually as technology and legal standards evolve
Current AI Tools at the Town
The Town is already using a number of AI tools across departments. The following are examples of tools currently in use and are not intended to be an exhaustive list. These existing uses underscore the importance of establishing clear policy now:
• Claude: general research, drafting, and document analysis • ChatGPT: general research and drafting
• NotebookLM: document review and research synthesis
• Ichi AI: plan check assistance for building and planning review, used by Town staff • Microsoft Copilot: AI assistance integrated into Microsoft 365 applications • Google Gemini: general research and drafting
Staff note that many of these tools incorporate AI features that may not always be explicitly disclosed to users. This reinforces the policy’s requirement that staff remain aware of AI embedded in commonly used tools and apply appropriate judgment when using their outputs.
Opportunities for San Anselmo
AI tools present real opportunities for a small town like San Anselmo to stretch limited staff capacity. Potential near-term applications consistent with the proposed policy include:
• Drafting and editing staff reports, public notices, and correspondence • Summarizing and analyzing public comment and survey data • Language translation for community outreach materials • Website and document accessibility auditing
• Routine research and data consolidation
Challenges and Risks
The policy also acknowledges known risks that informed its guardrails:
• AI systems can produce inaccurate or fabricated outputs (“hallucinations”) that require human review
264
Item #: 2.4
• Many widely used tools embed AI without disclosure, creating unintentional data exposure risks
• AI systems can reflect and amplify bias present in their training data • The technology landscape is evolving quickly, making it difficult to establish permanent rules
• Use of AI by contractors and vendors may be difficult to monitor without explicit contract language
Relationship with Neighboring Agencies
The proposed policy is consistent in structure and principle with the AI policies recently adopted by the City of San Rafael (September 2025) and TAM (April 2026), and draws on the GovAI Coalition’s model framework. Adopting compatible policy positions the Town to participate in regional AI governance conversations and to benefit from shared resources and best practices as they develop.
Next Steps
Following Council’s review and direction, staff anticipates the following:
• Incorporate any Council feedback into a revised draft • Return to Council for formal adoption at a subsequent meeting • Upon adoption: distribute policy to all staff, contractors, and vendors; update procurement documents; and add AI disclosure language to applicable Town communications and website
• Add the adopted policy to the Town’s Employee Handbook • Upload the policy to the Town’s NeoGov platform and distribute to all Town employees for review, acknowledgement, and sign-off. The Town will retain copies of all signed acknowledgement forms on file.
• Evaluate near-term AI use cases consistent with the adopted policy • Host periodic Lunch & Learn sessions to keep staff informed of new AI tools, emerging best practices, and security threats as they arise Operational Implementation Guide
• Staff is developing an Operational Implementation Guide to accompany the adopted policy. The Guide will provide staff with practical day-to-day guidance for AI use, including but not limited to the following:
• All AI tool accounts must be created and accessed using the employee’s official Town email address (@sananselmo.gov). Personal email accounts may not be used for Town-related AI work.
265
Item #: 2.4
• No personally identifiable information (PII) may be entered into any AI tool. This includes, but is not limited to, names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, financial information, or any combination of data that could identify an individual.
• All chats, prompts, and AI-generated content created in the course of Town business must be retained in accordance with the Town’s records retention schedule. Any entry made into an AI tool on behalf of the Town is subject to the California Public Records Act and may be subject to a Public Records Request.
Although not directly related to this item, staff notes that it will return to the Town Council at the August 2026 meeting with a staff report responding to the request from Councilmember Schlesinger and the full Council regarding how the Town would respond in the event of a cyber-attack. That report will be broadened to include an introduction to the Marin IT team and the Town’s Risk Insurance Pool, Bay Cities Joint Powers Insurance Authority (BCJPIA), in addition to the roles of Town staff and those partner organizations in any incident response.
FISCAL IMPACT
None at this time. Implementation of the policy will rely on existing staff capacity and Town-approved tools. Any future procurement of new AI systems will follow the Town’s existing contracting authority and proceed through the normal budget process.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Council’s discussion of the AI Use Policy 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).

Prohibited Uses
AI may not be used to:
● Make or substantially influence decisions related to hiring, discipline, performance evaluation, law enforcement prioritization, code enforcement, permitting approvals, housing eligibility, procurement selection, or legal determinations without appropriate human review and documented accountability.
● Fully automate decisions that substantially impact individuals or make final determinations regarding eligibility, benefits, enforcement, discipline, or legal rights. ● Conduct mass surveillance, facial recognition, real-time or covert biometric identification, or social scoring unless explicitly authorized by law and the Town Council. ● Classify human facial expressions, body movements, emotions, or sentiments using biometric or emotion-analysis technologies.
● Perform cognitive or behavioral manipulation of individuals or vulnerable groups. ● Mimic or impersonate any living person without authorization or disclosure. ● Generate or distribute deceptive synthetic media, including fabricated audio, video, or imagery representing Town officials, employees, residents, or public proceedings. ● Use AI-generated content in violation of applicable copyright, licensing, attribution, disclosure, or intellectual property laws or policies.
● Generate deceptive, discriminatory, harassing, or materially misleading content. ● Collect, process, retain, or share personal data in violation of law or Town policy. ● Input confidential, privileged, personnel, law-enforcement-sensitive, security-sensitive, or infrastructure-related information into unapproved AI systems. ● Deploy AI systems capable of independently executing transactions, modifying records, sending communications, or accessing Town systems without explicit authorization and oversight.
Meaningful human review under this policy must involve independent judgment and authority to modify, reject, or override AI-generated outputs or recommendations.
Procurement and Approval
Staff must follow this process before acquiring or deploying any new AI system:
Tool Approval
1. Department Approval — Departments must discuss proposed AI use cases with their Department Director prior to procurement, deployment, or operational use.
2. Risk Assessment — The Department Director, in consultation with the Town Clerk, Town Attorney, and the Town’s Information Technology contractor as appropriate, will assess the tool for legal compliance, data security, privacy, and equity risks.
3. Approval — Tools may be approved by the Town Manager or designee. 270
Vendor Selection
1. Vendor Contracts — All contracts with vendors who use or may use AI must address data ownership, security, audit rights, and model limitations. This requirement may be phased in for existing contracts.
2. AI FactSheet — Vendors providing AI systems must complete an AI FactSheet providing standardized technical documentation about the system, including its data sources, operational model, known limitations, and privacy practices. The Town Manager or designee is responsible for requiring vendors to complete this documentation as part of the procurement process. The GovAI Coalition AI FactSheet template for third party service providers is available at:
https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/127539/639034051932800000
3. Risk Assessment — The Department Director, in consultation with the Town Clerk, Town Attorney, and the Town’s Information Technology contractor as appropriate, will assess the vendor for legal compliance, data security, privacy, and equity risks.
4. Approval — Vendors may be approved by Town Council or Town Manager or designee.
Training
The Town of San Anselmo will:
• Include AI policy orientation as part of new employee onboarding • Require annual AI policy and responsible-use training for all staff • Make additional training resources available as technology, laws, and best practices evolve • Offer periodic workshops, demonstrations, or Lunch & Learn sessions to introduce staff to new AI tools, emerging best practices, and relevant security, privacy, and compliance considerations
Staff are:
• Required to complete all mandatory AI training and comply with this policy. • Responsible for staying informed about updates to this policy and applicable Town guidance. • Encouraged to participate in optional training opportunities to expand their knowledge and promote the responsible and effective use of AI.
Governance and Review
• This policy will be reviewed at least annually and updated as laws, technologies, and best practices evolve.
• The Town is subject to the California Public Records Act. Staff must follow all applicable records retention and disclosure procedures. This means any prompts, outputs, or other information used in relation to AI tools may be released publicly. Staff should not use any prompts that may include information not suitable for public release, including PII. • Departments must promptly report material AI incidents, errors, or risks to the Town Manager’s Office.
• If an AI system ceases to provide clear benefit, a Department Director may recommend retirement of the tool to the Town Manager or designee. If abrupt discontinuation would disrupt Town services, the system may be phased out gradually. 271
Exceptions
Staff must adhere to all requirements in this policy unless a specific documented exception is explicitly granted by the Town Manager or designee. Policy violations without a formal documented exception will be treated as a policy incident. In emergency situations that require immediate use of an AI tool not yet approved, staff must:
1. Obtain documented approval from their Department Director prior to use.
2. Submit the Department-approved use case to the Town Manager or designee for review within 30 days of the incident.
Restricted Platform Alternatives
In the event the Town restricts access to certain AI platforms, the Town will, whenever practicable, provide staff with a list of vetted alternative AI platforms that have been approved for Town use.
This approach allows employees to remain productive using tools that meet the Town’s privacy and security standards, while helping prevent the use of unapproved tools that could expose Town data.
The Town reserves the right to restrict access to unapproved AI platforms at the network level on Town-managed devices and networks, in coordination with the Town’s IT team. Department Directors are responsible for periodically reviewing approved platforms and recommending changes to the Town Manager or designee as needed.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #:2.5
MEETING DATE: June 9, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Annual Report on Staff Vacancies, Recruitment and Retention Efforts as Required Under AB 2561
FROM: Jeff Zuba, Finance & Admin Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council conduct a public hearing and consider accepting the Annual AB 2561 Report on Staff Vacancies, Recruitment, and Retention Efforts.
SUMMARY
Assembly Bill (AB) 2561 was signed into law on September 22, 2024, and added Section 3502.3 to the California Government Code. This legislation requires public agencies to present the status of job vacancies and recruitment/retention efforts at a public hearing at least once per fiscal year, and prior to adoption of the agency's final budget. If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the agency must, upon request of the recognized employee organization, include additional information during the public hearing.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
This report is provided in compliance with Government Code §3502.3. As of May 30, 2026, the Town of San Anselmo’s four recognized employee groups have the following vacancy rates:
Employee Group Budgeted FTE Vacancies Vacancy Rate
SEIU Local 1021 28 0 0%
Confidential 1 0 0%
Mid-Management 6 0 0%
Management 6 0 0%
Total 41 0 0%
274
Item #: 2.5
Since no employee group currently has a vacancy rate equal to or exceeding 20%, the Town is not required to present the additional information specified in §3502.3(c). Nonetheless, this report includes general information on recruitment and retention efforts, as required.
Recruitment Activities
The Town of San Anselmo recruits for open positions through GovernmentJobs.com, the Town’s website, and targeted outreach via regional professional networks. Job announcements are typically posted for a minimum of three weeks to ensure adequate applicant pools. For specialized or hard-to-fill positions, the Town coordinates outreach through professional associations and peer agency networks across Marin County. The Town also leverages internal referrals, which have historically been effective given the Town’s strong organizational culture and low turnover.
Recent Recruitment Activity
The following table summarizes recent recruitments conducted by the Town:

Across these six recruitments, the Town received a total of 242 applications, demonstrating strong interest in public service employment with San Anselmo.
Selection rates reflect the Town’s commitment to competitive, merit-based hiring.
Retention Efforts
The Town attributes its low vacancy rates in large part to its ongoing retention efforts. Competitive compensation, maintained through regular review of regional salary surveys and negotiated Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), ensure that Town salaries remain aligned with comparable Marin County agencies. Like other agencies in Marin County, San Anselmo faces challenges related to high housing costs, long commute distances for non-resident employees, and competition with neighboring jurisdictions for skilled professionals. Town staff continue to monitor workforce trends and evaluate policies that may improve recruitment outcomes and reduce turnover. Staff longevity remains a point of organizational strength as several employees have served the Town for more than a decade. 275
Item #: 2.5
The Town of San Anselmo offers the following competitive benefits designed to enhance employee retention:
1. Flexible work arrangements, including 9/80 and remote work opportunities where operationally feasible, support regional recruitment, work-life balance, and improve employee retention.
2. Up to full-family medical coverage through Kaiser.
3. One-week advanced sick leave and vacation time provided upon hire.
4. Professional development and career advancement. The Town encourages and provides opportunities for career growth. Employees are supported in pursuing additional training and education. The Town also participates in the Marin/Sonoma Leadership Academy to support employee growth and advancement within the organization.
Looking Ahead
Looking ahead, the Town will continue to monitor workforce trends and evaluate its recruitment and retention strategies on an ongoing basis. Areas of focus for the coming year include:
Expanding outreach to underrepresented communities, including through partnerships with community organizations and diversity-focused job boards, to broaden the Town's applicant pool and support a more inclusive workforce. Expanding the Town’s presence on regional job boards and professional networks.
Reviewing compensation benchmarks ahead of upcoming MOU negotiations to ensure the Town remains competitive.
