4-4
Councilmember Heller noted the report refers to the amount the City will be paying ABAG for administration and start-up
costs, and asked if this will be decreased at some point, since the start-up costs should not be carried on forever?
Finance Director Coleman responded that most of the cost would be ongoing; however, as more cities join, and
when they move into electricity, a lot of those costs could be spread over a much greater area. Ms. Heller asked
when we could expect to see our savings? Mr. Coleman stated the savings on gas will not be very much, probably
$752 per year to begin with, noting the big savings will be seen when they start to get into electricity. He reported
the State of California has just approved the deregulation, and in a year or two we should be looking at some type
of pool for the electricity portion of this.
Councilmember Heller moved and Councilmember Zappetini seconded, to adopt the Resolution.

CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING STAFF TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT
WITH PROJECT FOR PUBLIC SPACES FOR BOYD PARK/MUSEUM COMPLEX MASTER PLAN AND
APPROPRIATING A $20,000 LOAN TO THE MARIN HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO PAY FOR THE PLAN (Rec/PI) -
File 4-10-286 x 2-1-9 x 139 x 9-3-66
Mayor Boro reported he had received a message from Lionel Ashcroft, President of the Marin Historical Society, stating he
was ill and would not be able to attend this meeting, but expressing his hope that the Council would support the
Society's request.
Recreation Director Sharon McNamee reported that in December, 1995 the City signed a Development and Disposition
Agreement (DDA) with the Marin Historical Society so they could build a museum at Boyd Park. She stated the
DDA required the City to develop a Master Plan, and the Marin Historical Society has committed to fund this Master
Plan.
Ms. McNamee explained the Council is being asked to review the work program she and Planning Director Pendoley have
worked out with Project for Public Spaces. She noted they had reviewed the program with Lionel Ashcroft and the
Marin Historical Society Board of Directors, and they all think it is a great idea, and the Society is committed to
raising the $20,000 for the Master Plan.
Ms. McNamee stated the City is anxious to begin the Park Master Plan, because the playgrounds desperately need help,
and the Lions Club has come forward and offered to help. She felt it was important the Master Plan be done as
soon as possible, noting Project for Public Spaces is going to be in California soon, and that they are giving the City
a very good deal. She stated they are a wonderful non-profit organization from New York, noting they had helped
us tremendously with Albert Park, a park with different, mixed kinds of uses.
Ms. McNamee stated the Council is being asked to approve a loan of $20,000, and then the Marin Historical Society will
pay back the loan, noting that according to the DDA, they would have until the time they pull their building permits to
actually repay the money. She stated the proposal now before the Council is for $12,000, noting they expect it will
be a little more with expenses, but should stay under budget.
Mayor Boro asked if it would be proper to state that the request would be for up to and not exceeding $20,000, and that it
might actually be less? Ms. McNamee stated that was correct.
Councilmember Zappetini asked if the Lions Club and other service clubs have committed to raise money, or had pledged
money already? Ms. McNamee explained that they are ready to raise money, but have not pledged a specific
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 2/20/96 Page 3
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 2/20/96 Page 4
amount. She noted
they have stated they want to be part of the process in helping to decide what the park is going to look like, and also
expressed their willingness to do some fundraisers, and physically help build it, too.
Councilmember Zappetini moved and Councilmember Cohen seconded, to adopt the Resolution, as amended, authorizing
staff to enter into an agreement with Project for Public Spaces for the Boyd Park/Museum Complex Master Plan
and appropriating a loan of up to $20,000 to the Marin Historical Society.
RESOLUTION NO. 9556 - RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING STAFF TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH
PROJECT FOR PUBLIC SPACES FOR BOYD PARK/MUSEUM COMPLEX MASTER PLAN AND
APPROPRIATING A $20,000 LOAN TO THE MARIN HISTORICAL SOCIETY (as amended, to include "up to" a

10. WORK PROGRAM TO PLAN EAST SAN RAFAEL PARKS AND CORPORATION YARD (Rec/PW)
- File 9-3-66 x 9-3-40 x 12-4
Mayor Boro reported the Council had received a letter from the Marin Conservation League regarding the Bellam/Windward
Way site, which the League believes was originally designated as a park site.
Ms. McNamee stated the Council was being asked to consider a work program proposal from Moore lacofano Goltsman,
Inc., a firm that has done quite a bit of work for the City, including the Pickleweed Master Plan, the Shoreline Master
Plan, General Plan, East San Rafael Neighborhood Plan, and most recently, the Montecito Neighborhood Plan.
She noted they are very familiar with the East San Rafael neighborhood and the issues and people there, and are
prepared to do part of their work in three or four different languages to provide good resources.
Ms. McNamee reported staff has worked with Moore lacofano Goltsman over the past month and come up with a work
program that would be a community involved type of process. She stated the City is trying to come up with a
concept plan for Pickleweed Park, as well as the Bellam Park site and corporation yard complex. Ms. McNamee
noted there are some concerns in the neighborhood, but she felt they are ready and willing to get on board with this
process. She reported staff had met with the focus group approximately three weeks ago, and they felt the
process sounded like a good one, and one that would involve them and anyone else who was interested.
Ms. McNamee stated staff is hoping to get started on this project very soon, noting they would like to have this process
finished in early March so they can do the renovation of the field at Pickleweed Park in the fall.
Ms. McNamee stated this project has a price tag of approximately $40,000, noting at this time she is asking the Council to
review the work program, ask questions for clarification, and then staff would like to bring back a contract and a
request for funding from the Redevelopment Agency at the next meeting.
Mayor Boro stated there had been some discussion in the past regarding interest from the Foundation, the County, and
possibly some other groups coming together to work toward the completion of the park. He asked if these different
agencies were going to be involved in this, and Ms. McNamee stated they would all be invited, and noted some
people from the Foundation had already expressed an interest in joining this process.
Councilmember Heller referred to the report which states there will be an ongoing community group, and asked who would
be taking part in this group. Ms. McNamee stated that in deciding whether or not to make this selection process up
front, it was decided that what they had found worked very well in previous park planning processes was to allow
this to evolve out of the group as the process goes on, noting those people who have the time and interest for such
involvement tend to rise to the surface. She stated Moore lacofano Goltsman is very good at ferreting out those
people and keeping them involved. Ms. McNamee noted there is already a group that is looking at Pickleweed
Park, and they will continue to be involved in that project. Ms. Heller noted this was a very tight schedule, and Ms.
McNamee agreed, but noted this has worked very well in the past because it keeps people involved and interested.
Councilmember Cohen asked Ms. McNamee what the funding source would be for the $40,000 for this project, and she
responded it would be the Redevelopment Agency. Mr. Cohen referred to the comment in the report which stated
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 2/20/96 Page 4
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 2/20/96 Page 5
there were some tasks the City could assume in order to reduce the budget, and asked if we are pursuing this?
Ms. McNamee stated this has not been discussed very much, noting that on the Montecito Neighborhood Plan
certain Planning Department staff had done some of the reports to save money, but with the workload of this project
at the same time the Boyd Park/Museum Complex Master Plan is being developed, it might be too difficult. Mr.
Pendoley agreed, stating he did not believe the Planning Department would have staff to contribute to this project,
given several other things they have been asked to do after the Strategic Planning Session in January. However,
he noted it would not take special skills, and with just a small amount of training the kind of people who work for the
City could definitely do it, it is just a matter of finding the free hours. Councilmember Cohen asked Ms. McNamee
to look into having staff work on this project, and report to the Council when this item comes back at the next
meeting.
Mayor Boro asked if he was correct in understanding that this means the City is going to plan the entire park system for that
community, both Pickleweed Park and the Bellam Park/Corporation Yard site? Ms. McNamee stated that was
correct. Mayor Boro stated he felt it made sense to look at this as a total package.
Councilmember Phillips asked when the first public meeting would be held, and Ms. McNamee stated it has been scheduled
for the week of March 11 th. Mr. Phillips asked if the public was already aware of the plans for this project, and Ms.
McNamee stated the notices are to be sent out tomorrow. Mr. Phillips stated he was concerned that some of the
neighbors might not be aware of what is taking place, but Ms. McNamee stated she was not really fearful of this
happening, as the neighborhood is aware this is coming, and have known for quite a while. She stated they
geared up with the Pickleweed Master Plan, holding meetings in September and October, so there is actually a
large group that is waiting for this. Ms. McNamee stated she believed there is another group of constituents who
know this is coming up and are spreading the word in their neighborhood. Ms. McNamee stated there will be three
community meetings, as well as smaller meetings, which will provide further opportunities for informing the
community.
Mr. Phillips asked Ms. McNamee if she was comfortable that people will be satisfied with the timeline, and will have had a
chance to become aware of the meetings and attend if they are interested, and she stated that she was. Ms.
McNamee stated she felt this was a good time of the year for this project, as it is not summer or the holidays, and
things can just move along very efficiently. Mr. Phillips asked what the notification process entailed, and Ms.
McNamee responded there is a mailing list of approximately 120 people who have been involved in the Pickleweed
project, Friends of Pickleweed, and various boards and agencies in the neighborhood, as well as homeowners
associations. She stated the complete mailing list has not yet been developed, but felt it was fairly thorough. She
stated news releases would also be published in the newspaper. Mr. Phillips stated he felt it was important that
everyone be notified, so they do not hear about it after the fact and feel that they might have had something to
contribute. Ms. McNamee stated they have also recognized the need to implement this process in several
languages, and they have been working on this with respect to the notifications, as well as the logistics of having
everyone together in the same room, and perhaps having small focus groups so that everyone can be heard.
Councilmember Cohen asked how much it would cost to send notification to each household in the community? Mr.
Pendoley responded that with approximately 3,500 households, he would estimate the cost to be approximately
$1,500 for printing and postage. Mr. Cohen felt since we were about to spend $40,000 on a community process,
perhaps it would be worth spending $1,500 to let everyone in the community know we are going to do this. Mayor
Boro stated this was something staff should pursue prior to bringing this item back before the Council.
Councilmember Heller asked if the Marin Conservation League is on the notification list, and Ms. McNamee stated that they
were.
Hank Jespersen, 14 Catalina Boulevard, addressed the Council, noting Ralph Crocker had planned to address the Council
on behalf of the Friends of Spinnaker Point, but had not arrived as yet. Mr. Jespersen stated their informal group
tries very hard to stay abreast of what is going on in their community, noting the City and the Council have always
been very cooperative in listening to their group. He reported they had attended the first community meeting that
was held regarding this project, and stated they are very much opposed to any discussion of a corporation yard in
that area. He stated they felt it was completely inappropriate, as this is a residential area close to not only
Spinnaker Point, but also the Bay Point housing, the Bahia housing, and all the other housing that represents their
area of East
Canal Street. Mr. Jespersen acknowledged they know a park is needed, and that there are six acres at the site, but
reported they believe the discussion should be directed toward putting only a park in that area, and finding some
other area for the corporation yard. He stated they see no need for putting gas tanks and trucks in an area right
next to an ecological house, noting he could not even wear his perfume to the City Council meeting, yet the City
wants to put gas tanks not 500 feet away from a very sensitive part of our population at the end of Catalina
Boulevard.
Mayor Boro asked Mr. Gustayson if he had the opportunity to read the staff report, and Mr. Jespersen responded that he
had. Mayor Boro stated the report addresses what the City is attempting to do at this location, as well as the
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 2/20/96 Page 5
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 2/20/96 Page 6
process that will be put in place to achieve this. He noted what the Council is being asked to do at this time is to
approve the work program, not to pre -judge what happens. Mr. Jespersen stated the community meeting they had
attended had been very well presented, and the firm being suggested to do the study certainly seemed to be very
well qualified. He stated the interesting part to him was that everyone involved was very congenial, noting this is a
subject that is going to get people very hot under the collar. Mr. Jespersen stated he felt staff was doing the right
thing in going at the pace they are going. He acknowledged their group knows this project will go very fast, as
there are only three months to consider this, and he assured the Council they would have their cooperation.
Regarding the notification process, Mr. Jespersen stated he would be happy to see that the 225 members of the
Spinnaker Point community receive a copy of any documentation the City might want to have distributed.
Fred Warneke, Park and Recreation Commissioner and representative of the Friends of Pickleweed, addressed the
Council, stating he has been following this issue with Ms. McNamee, and noting he and his fellow members on the
Park and Recreation Commission are very excited about both this project and the Boyd Park project. Mr. Warneke
stated he felt each of these projects was going to be a great thing, and noting both these situations need a lot of
attention. He acknowledged there will be some conflict, but felt the process is very good and the Planning staff are
very qualified, and stated he looks forward to this project.
Councilmember Cohen moved and Councilmember Heller seconded, to adopt the work program as presented by Moore
lacofano Goltsman, Inc., and direct staff to bring to the Council an agreement for services with them, with the
modifications discussed.
Councilmember Phillips asked for clarification on the modifications to the work plan, and Mayor Boro stated staff was being
directed to look at the possibility of a direct mailing of the notification to all households, and also to explore whether
or not there might be some way for the City to absorb part of the cost other than using the services of a facilitator.

11. CONSIDERATION OF CITY COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS (CC) - File 9-1
Mayor Boro stated the Councilmembers had a list of the standing committees and people appointed to the various groups
the City represents, noting he had spoken with each of the Councilmembers regarding their current assignments,
and felt he had a good feel for what each of them would like to do. He suggested reviewing the list, and asked the
Councilmembers to let him know of any changes they might wish to make.
Mayor Boro noted he was aware that Councilmember Heller would prefer not to continue as representative to the
Association of Bay Area Governments, and asked if any of the other Councilmembers would like to represent the
City on that committee. Ms. Heller reported this committee meets twice a year, usually from 8:00 AM or 9:00 AM
until 2:00 PM or 3:00 PM. As no one volunteered to take the position, Mayor Boro asked Ms. Heller if she would
continue as the City's representative, and she agreed.
Councilmember Heller noted, as the list of appointments was being reviewed, she felt it would be helpful to revise the list to
show where the appointments were coming from, reporting some of the appointments were made through MCCMC
rather than the City. Mayor Boro agreed, noting most of the appointments were made either directly from the City,
or where the City has been asked by MCCMC to appoint someone, or someone was appointed as a result of being
on the Council. Councilmember Cohen asked if that was the case with LAFCO, and Mayor Boro responded the
LAFCO appointment was through MCCMC, and because Ms. Heller is a Councilmember. Ms. Heller stated the
appointment to LAFCO was not from the City of San Rafael, she only holds that seat as an alternate through being
elected from MCCMC. Mr. Cohen stated perhaps that appointment should come off this list, as it is not a City
Council appointment.
Mayor Boro asked City Clerk Leoncini to revise the list, showing those committees the Councilmembers serve on, and at
whose pleasure they serve.
Councilmember Phillips asked Mayor Boro who the Planning Commissioner was that serves on the St. Vincent DePaul
Dining Room Relocation Committee? Mayor Boro reported Planning Commissioner Dick O'Brien serves on the
committee.
Councilmember Phillips had previously agreed to act as the representative to the MCCMC Liaison Committee to the Marin
Community Foundation.
Regarding the appointment of a Council representative to the Farmers' Market Board of Directors Oversight Committee,
current appointee Councilmember Cohen stated that when the Board was originally created, that position was to be
rotated. Mr. Cohen stated he was willing to continue in this position; however, he had discussed this with
Councilmember Phillips, who was interested in taking the position for the current year. Councilmember Phillips
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 2/20/96 Page 6
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 2/20/96 Page 7
agreed he would be interested in representing the Council on this Board, and Mayor Boro made the appointment.

12. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS:
RE: REPORT CONCERNING ST. VINCENT DePAUL DINING ROOM - File 9-2-49
Mayor Boro reported he, Mr. Seamus Kilty, and Mr. Stephen Dobbs had interviewed four candidates for the position of
facilitator for the relocation of St. Vincent De Paul Dining Room, and have narrowed the choice to two candidates.
He stated the three of them will meet tomorrow afternoon and, hopefully, make their choice. Mayor Boro stated
he felt very positive about both candidates, and thinks they will be very satisfied with the people who will be coming
forward to work on this project.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:30 PM.
Mayor Boro announced that the Council would now convene in Closed Session.
At the conclusion of the Closed Session, City Attorney Gary Ragghianti announced the City Council had adopted

therefrom any possible right-of-way acquisition on Andersen Drive.
Second, the City Council directs that all City and Redevelopment Agency staff not have any further contact with
Councilmember Zappetini, and/or any of his representatives, regarding the development of those parcels described
on the map previously mentioned, excluding therefrom right-of-way acquisition on Andersen Drive.
