10. APPROVAL OF BMR (BELOW MARKET RATE) AGREEMENT - THE GABLES (P1) - File 229 x 5-1-321
Councilmember Boro stated there is some language in the documents regarding the BMR
units, if they are not made available as affordable units and the Marin Housing
Authority for some reason turns them down, they revert back to the developer. He
stated he is assuming that is in there for protection, but he assumes the odds are
good that these will be sold as intended.
Planning Director Pendoley responded that the contract with the Housing Authority
provides 240 days to get the units sold. They have to be notified 120 days before
the unit is ready for occupancy, and 120 days after it is ready for occupancy to
have the sale completed. It has never happened before, but if one of the BMR units
should not sell, the developer is free to sell it on the market and 75% of the
difference between the below market price and the actual sale price goes back to
the City, and we can put that into our Affordable Housing Fund.
Councilmember Boro moved and Councilmember Breiner seconded, to adopt the Resolution
authorizing execution of the Below Market Rate Agreement.

20. PRESENTATION OF MARIN CHILD CARE COUNCIL FIRST ANNUAL AWARD TO THE SAN RAFAEL CHILD
CARE TASK FORCE (Rec) - File 109 x 4-10-188a
Terry DeMartini, former Executive Director of the Marin Child Care Council, made
the presentation to Mayor Mulryan, stating the award was a direct result of the
Child Care Study and Report, and the first major step in the action plans as a result
of the study. She stated that the conference at which this was awarded was a
conference for the major businesses in Marin, to encourage them to participate in
the child care facilities. She noted that Councilmember Boro was very active in
the Task Force.
Mayor Mulryan thanked everyone who participated in the Task Force, for their excellent
work. He then welcomed Bill Scharf, the new Child Care Program Manager.
21. APPROVAL OF SHORELINE ENHANCEMENT PLAN AND CERTIFICATION OF NEGATIVE DECLARATION
(Rec) - File 4-10-244 x 9-3-65 x 9-3-66
Recreation Director McNamee informed the Council that this is the final draft of
the plan. She mentioned the heliport issue, as described on Page 2 of the staff
report. She stated that the Park and Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission
have approved the Plan.
Tom Klope, of Michael Painter Associates (MPA), gave a brief description of the
Plan, which he stated includes 21 acres of City -owned land, which is part of the
master plan. He described the Bayview Marsh, and the connection from Pelican Way
to the Bay. He stated they will improve, maintain and protect the wildlife habitat
with this Plan, and introduce public access in a controlled way. He said there
is an 8 -foot wide asphalt band and adjacent 3 -foot wide crushed stone jogging path.
He noted that the Plan will be phased over time, with developed maintenance standards
for maintenance of the parklands which are different than the parks the City now
maintains.
Councilmember Thayer inquired, until the Plan can be implemented, and until we can
proceed, what is being done to protect the area. Mr. Klope pointed out the fencing
around the ponds, and stated that currently it is possible for the public to access
the entire route, but the fencing will be installed.
Councilmember Boro questioned the funding as mentioned in the third paragraph on
Page 2 of the staff report, indicating the funding is very limited. Ms. McNamee
responded that they have met with several property owners last week, and there was
concern that we were doing part of it, and not the whole project at once. She stated
that Mario Ghilotti and Fred Granqe were both at the meeting, and decided to try
to find a creative way to generate funding. Mr. Boro stated that not only should
we look at ways to fund the construction, but also the maintenance.
Councilmember Breiner questioned the eliminating of seating in the overflight areas
of the heliport, as mentioned in Attorney Norbert Dickman's letter, and asked if that
would be a problem. Ms. McNamee responded it would not be a problem, that while it is
in the design at present it can be easily removed in the final construction drawings.
Mario Ghilotti, representing the Ghilotti Family Trust, stated that all the work
done in the area so far has been as a result of an Assessment District. He noted
that Joe Shekou has property at the end of the project, and Joe Lemon has the Canalways
part. He said most of the Ghilotti area is just one wall against the Bay, while
Mr. Lemon's part has two walls. He stated that if the whole project could be planned
now, and get the Corps of Engineers' stamp of approval, it would save money in the
long run. He noted he has been paying money for the Kerner Boulevard Assessment
District, as well as the Levee Assessment District. He stated this park will be
a benefit to the City and the whole County, and he does not feel the City should
have to pay for the park, since the whole community should share in the cost. He
stated the entire project should be designed and approved, then get a task force
together to at least finish the south end. He said he hoped there will be a way
to build it within the next year or year and a half. He stated that Ms. McNamee
and her staff have been very cooperative and have done a very good job.

Norbert Dickman, representing the owner of the property with the Heliport, stated
he supports the Shoreline Enhancement Plan, and appreciates the cooperation he has
received from Ms. McNamee and the staff. He stated he has safety concerns, particularly
regarding the vegetation. He asked that the trees be clustered so that in event
of an engine failure the pilot would have a place to go. He stated he understands
this is being approved in concept, and when it comes to the details he will have
additional concerns as listed in his letter. He noted that birds are a problem,
since this is a native habitat, and he will be asking the staff to make sure that
whatever landscaping goes in there will not attract more birds than there are now.
He would like to discuss these and other related matters with staff at a later date.
Councilmember Shippey inquired if Ms. McNamee is in agreement that these are not
major issues, as discussed by Mr. Dickman. Ms. McNamee replied they are not.
Councilmember Boro moved and Councilmember Shippey seconded, to adopt the Resolution
certifying the Negative Declaration.

22. REPORT ON ABAG GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN - BAY VISION 2020 PROPOSAL (P1) - File 111
Planning Director Pendoley stated that ABAG's general membership will be asked to
take an official position on the Vision 2020 proposal at the Association's General
Assembly on November 21. At that meeting a staff recommendation will be offered
which suggests an alternative approach to regional planning and governance which
emphasizes a subregional orientation. He stated that the conclusion of the Council's
deliberations will give direction to Councilmember Breiner, who is the City's rep-
resentative at ABAG.
Mr. Pendoley referred to a letter from Kathleen Foote, who is the MCCMC (Marin County
Council of Mayors and Council Members) delegate for Bay Vision 2020, and also the
General Assembly for ABAG. Mr. Pendoley asked if the Council had any comments on
Ms. Foote's letter.
Mayor Mulryan stated he feels Ms. Foote's letter addresses the Council's concerns.
Councilmember Breiner stated there seems to be a major shift in direction in the
Governor's Office, and the question may be moot. She asked for comment from the
Council.
Councilmember Boro stated he had attended part of the meeting of the subregional
body. Ms. Breiner stated it seems that we are already doing subregional issues,
such as transportation and water. Mr. Boro stated he understands that Sonoma wants
to opt out of this, and he wonders if we are creating another level if they do.
Ms. Breiner stated she is more comfortable with a subregional approach than regional,
but if there was a major merger of ABAG and the Air Quality Control Board that would
be regional. She stated that Solano is also questioning what a larger approach
might do for them. She stated that one of the biggest fears in the communities
is that the State will do something and impose it from above rather than having
it done regionally from below.
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 11/4/91 Page 5
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 11/4/91 Page 6
Councilmember Thayer stated that regional planning is necessary to resolve some of
the traffic and air quality problems, but she thinks there is a fear out in the com-
munity that we would forfeit some local control. She noted that Marin is one of the
least populous counties in the Bay Area, but we have the same weight on a regional
body. She noted that AB3 (Brown) would carve the State into 9 jurisdictions and take
all our power away. She stated the issue was affordable housing to start. She stated
Marin is a beautiful County, with the mountains and the seashore and she would not
want to see other jurisdictions saying how we should use our land.
Mayor Mulryan stated he had heard (Assembly) Speaker Willie Brown speak, and his
context was that the cities have not done their regional planning and he is afraid of
runaway growth. He said he feels Mr. Brown would like Marin to be more like Solano
County. He said he feels the subregional approach makes more sense.
Councilmember Shippey stated he would endorse the subregional approach.
Councilmember Boro stated that in Ms. Foote's letter she speaks of timing, and he
is concerned about getting a consensus from the cities.
Councilmember Breiner said she believes there will be a forum for the Councils to
discuss it. Mr. Pendoley stated that Ms. Foote's letter indicates need for a consensus
from the cities. He feels that there could be a workshop or two between now and
the deadline.
Councilmember Boro inquired, is the Governor opposed to Bay Vision 2020, and Mr.
Pendoley responded he does not support urban limit lines.
23. INITIATION OF ASSESSMENT DISTRICT PROCEEDINGS - MARIPOSA ROAD ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
(PW) - File 6-49
Public Works Director Bernardi explained the necessity for the Assessment District
to improve Mariposa Road, which is a private, unimproved cul-de-sac off Woodland
Avenue. He stated that owners of 66.6% of the land area proposed to be assessed
have signed the petition.
Attorney Edwin Ness, District Bond Counsel, explained that this would include paving,
curbs and gutters, sidewalks, sewers and storm drainage. He stated that all of
the necessary actions on the Assessment District can be taken care of by one motion.
Councilmember Thayer moved and Councilmember Shippey seconded, to approve all recommended
actions, a through is
a. PETITION - FILED.
b. CERTIFICATE OF PETITION - FILED.

the years, and wished him the best of everything in the future.
24. FORMATION OF CITY TASK FORCE - POLICE, FIRE, PUBLIC WORKS, PLANNING AND CITY ATTORNEY
TO REVIEW THE OAKLAND FIRE AS IT RELATES TO SAN RAFAEL (FD) - File 9-3-31
City Manager Nicolai reported on a Task Force of department heads representing Fire,
Police, Public Works, Planning and the City Attorney's Office, to review the outcome
of the Oakland fire situation, as it relates to San Rafael. She stated she wants to
look at Ordinances and policies and would like to get a City group involved to obtain
recommendations starting with the Task Force comprised of staff. She added she would
also like input from property owners.
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 11/4/91 Page 6
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 11/4/91 Page 7
Councilmember Thayer noted Ms. Nicolai is also looking at tree preservation and
the Hillside Standards. She stated that when they were doing the Hillside Standards
they referred to the Fire Department regarding buffer zones, and if you look at
the Standards you will see many safety measures, including the recommended roofing
materials.
Councilmember Breiner stated she would like the Committee to identify areas where
we might have some substandard streets or some barely standard streets, especially
up in the hills.
Mayor Mulryan stated we should also look into whether there are any streets which
emergency vehicles could not traverse.
Councilmember Breiner stated that parking and brush removal should be considered.
Councilmember Shippey stated he did not see much reference to communication issues.
He noted there were reports in the Oakland fire that they had communication problems
which caused delays. He pointed out that we have had problems with the Police radio
system in the past, and the Task Force might concern themselves with communications.
Councilmember Boro noted that Ms. Nicolai intended to involved homeowners' groups
when the information is being gathered, in geographically appropriate areas. He
said it is vital that we get community support for this project, and we have to
have long-term safety measures.
Councilmember Breiner stated that since some of the changes might occur in connection
with the Hillside Standards, we should include the people in the Neighborhood Hillside
Standards group, because they will understand and it would make the task simpler,
rather than a new group from the neighborhoods.
Councilmember Thayer supported the suggestion, and noted that some of the people
in that group live in Dominican and the Black Canyon areas.
Councilmember Breiner moved and Councilmember Shippey seconded, to accept the report.
AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Boro, Breiner, Shippey, Thayer & Mayor Mulryan
NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None
ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None
25. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilmember Boro expressed the gratitude of the City Council to Mayor Mulryan
for his years of service as Mayor of the City of San Rafael.
Mayor Mulryan responded that he has calculated that he has attended 780 meetings
at City Hall throughout the years, and it has been a great experience. He said
he will miss everyone.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:50 PM.
