DE PAUL'S SOCIETY FOR REHABILITATION AT 822 B STREET (RA) —
FILE R-103 x R-140 #8 x (SRCC) 9-2-49
Steven R. Boyer, Executive Director, Society of St. Vincent de Paul, District Council of Marin County,
stated that a week ago Sunday, a fundraiser took place at Falkirk Cultural Center, specifically to raise
funds for their cause. Other objectives included recognizing the volunteers who actually work for the St.
Vincent de Paul Society, and very significantly, to honor Dr. Joel Fay, Police Officer, San Rafael Police
Department, Mr. Boyer stated that Officer Fay has a significant impact on the community, specifically
with those who need the St. Vincent de Paul Society Dining Room, and he wanted to ensure that the
Board Members and City were aware of this. He thanked the City for allowing Officer Fay to do some
non-traditional police work. Although not the same as Police Officer Jack Martin's job, it has lightened

his load and eased their task of being a good neighbor.
Mr. Boyer reported that in January, a delegation from the City visited his office to welcome him to the
position of Executive Director of St. Vincent de Paul, at which time he pledged his desire to be a good
neighbor, and he reiterated that desire this evening.
Regarding the $6,000 Grant to assist in painting and renovating the building, Mr. Boyer indicated that in
the past two months work has commenced, costing $16,000, with additional floor and wall work to be
carried out at a similar cost. The gesture from the City and Redevelopment Agency is very timely and
overwhelming since some three years ago, he was present with a similar attendance as tonight's, when
the decisions made impacted them directly. A very wise decision was made and he believed the
relocation to be extremely important for them as an Agency and for the City in general. He trusted that
by working with Nancy Mackle, Economic Development Director and Rod Gould, Executive Director, the
relocation would be swift. Mr. Boyer again thanked the Agency for Joel Fay's work and for the support to
his Agency in this community.
Chairman Boro thanked Mr. Boyer, stating his comments were appreciated; he acknowledged and
thanked him for his great work since assuming the role of Executive Director.
Chairman Boro announced that the Resolution contained a typographical error on the second page
regarding the Grant amount; this should read six thousand dollars ($6,000).
Member Cohen moved and Member Heller seconded, to adopt the Resolution.
