A RESOLUTION OF THE SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL
WAIVING PAYMENT OF FEES FOR THE BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION FOR
THE MARIN HISTORY MUSEUM IN BOYD PARK.
WHEREAS, on May 7, 2001 the San Rafael City Council approved a fee waiver for the
processing of certain planning application for the Marin History Museum in Boyd Park, finding
that such waiver met the criteria of Resolution 10789 for consideration of fee waivers; and
WHEREAS, on December 17, 2001, Richard P. Murray and Merry Alberigi of the Marin
History Museum submitted a request to waive fees associated with applications for building
permits, estimated to be in the amount of $17,000;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of San Rafael that the payment
of building permit application fees for the Marin History Museum in Boyd Park is hereby
reduced by $5,000, finding that the proposed waiver is consistent with the requirements of
Resolution 10789 establishing policies for consideration of fee waivers in that:
• The Marin History Museum is a non-profit organization providing services of benefit to the
general public of San Rafael including benefits to the local economy through increased
tourism, availability of its facilities to community organizations for meetings and other
gatherings, and free admission to the museum by County residents on specified dates; and
• The waiver of $17,000 would have a significant impact on General Fund revenues at a time
when permit revenues are 20% less than budget projections, and would set a precedent as the
highest fee waiver granted during the past ten years. However, a partial fee waiver of $5,000
would have a lesser impact on anticipated permit revenues and would equal the highest fee
waiver granted during the past ten year period.
I, JEANNE M. LEONCINI, Clerk of the City of San Rafael, hereby certify that the foregoing
resolution was duly and regularly introduced and adopted at a regular meeting of the Council of
said City on Monday, the fourth day of February, 2002, by the following vote, to wit:
AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Cohen, Heller, Miller, Phillips & Mayor Boro
NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None
ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None
