participate through MCCMC on implementation following the adoption
of the final report recommendations by MCCMC, the Marin County
Board of Supervisors, the Interfaith Council and the Marin
Community Foundation; and
WHEREAS, MCCMC endorsed and supported the report's
recommendations at its November 28, 1990 meeting and the Marin
County Board of Supervisors and the Marin Community Foundation took
similar actions in October 1990.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of San Rafael agrees to provide initial funding as specified
by this resolution and Exhibit "A" which is attached hereto.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of San Rafael is taking
this action with the following understandings and conditions:
1. Due to the importance of this issue, and the need to begin
addressing the homeless needs in Marin County, the City of San
Rafael agrees to provide a portion of the initial or startup
funding for a Homeless Coordinator and the attendant costs
associated with the Marin Commission on Homelessness. In
doing so, it must be fully recognized that the County is the
governmental entity that is responsible for providing health
and human services which includes homelessness.
2. The portion of the initial startup costs paid by the cities
shall be an amount equal to 25% of the proposed draft budget
dated November 2, 1990 not to exceed $30,000 per year plus up

to a 5% growth factor each year thereafter. Funding shall be
provided for 36 months beginning January 1, 1991 and ending

Commission shall submit to each city a report indicating its
specific progress on obtaining long-term funding support and
shelter sites. City contributions shall be based upon
population. Should any city decline to participate, the
aforementioned total city portion of the funding shall be
reduced accordingly.
3. The proposed Homeless Coordinator and Commission should make
the identification of a reliable and ongoing funding base and
appropriate siting of homeless shelters or other facilities
their top and most immediate priorities. Ongoing financial
assistance for the maintenance and operation of the homeless
program should not be presumed or expected from cities.
Further, the initial composition of the Commission should
reflect individuals that can identify and secure such funding.
