BACKGROUND:
The term of Salamah Locks is set to expire at the end of June 2024 and the City Clerk’s office recruited for applications and received four applications; however, one applicant was not responsive and therefore was withdrawn from the application process and one applicant withdrew.
The Marin County Commission on Aging is a 23-member federally mandated advisory council to the Marin County Board of Supervisors. The Commission works closely with the Aging and Adult Services on behalf of Marin’s older adults. Commissioners are appointed to three-year terms by either the Board of Supervisors or the 11 incorporated cities and towns in Marin. In addition, Marin County's Senior Assembly Member and Senior Senator, representatives of the California Senior Legislature (CSL), also serve as ex-officio members for a four-year term. Meetings are held the first Thursday of each month from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at various locations throughout Marin.

Q19
Please share your perception and or perspective about law enforcement in San Rafael.Por favor, comparta su percepción o perspectiva sobre la aplicación de la ley en San Rafael.
The law enforcement officers that I have come into contact with have been very professional and excellent. I have had coffee with them and ice cream with them when they were on 4th Street awhile ago. Law enforcement officers are humans, first, doing a difficult job. I, and all of us, have regretted past responses or decisions of the moment but these should, and need to, become learning experiences for us. Mistakes in judgement in the moment should not be a condemnation of someone’s ability to be of service.
