CITY MANAGER’S REPORT:
3. City Manager’s Report:
City Manager Jim Schutz announced former City Clerk Jeanne Leoncini passed away on
Sunday, August 11, 2019. He noted that Jeanne served as the City Clerk for thirty years, from
1977-2007, and was originally hired in 1972. He noted our database showed no separation date
because she occasionally returned to the City Clerk's Office to help whenever needed, which
was a small example of Jeanne's dedication to San Rafael. He commented that Jeanne was the
quintessential City Clerk and had an unfaltering commitment to doing things right and captur e all
the details for the sake of preservation and history. He noted the City Clerk deals with what is
going on in the present, while keeping an eye on the future, and has an extreme dedication to
professionalism and fulfilling a role the community entrusted them with, and Jeanne filled that
role well. He expressed thanks on behalf of staff for Jeanne and what she meant for the City of
San Rafael, and announced the Celebration of Life on Saturday August 31, 2019, at 11:30 a.m.
at the First Presbyterian Church, 1510 Fifth Avenue, San Rafael, CA 94901.
