AGENCY CONSIDERATION:
7. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A GRANT TO MARIN COMMUNITY CLINIC FOR CLINIC
RELOCATION IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $100,000 (RA) — FILE R-461
Economic Development Coordinator Stephanie Lovette stated staff was pleased to be in a position to
present this item. She explained that the Marin Community Clinic had been serving many of the
residents in the Canal from their Greenbrae location and was now looking to open a facility in the Canal
neighborhood. The $100,000 grant the Redevelopment Agency was giving to the Clinic would get them
started on their fundraising. Ms. Lovette noted that at the commencement of fundraising everyone was
waiting for the first person to write the check; therefore, staff decided it would be a good idea to have
the Agency step up and demonstrate its commitment to this neighborhood and the Community Clinic.
Ms. Lovette stated that Carol Patterson, Executive Director, Marin Community Clinic, was present and
would like to address the Agency members.
Carol Patterson, Executive Director, Marin Community Clinic, stated she was delighted to be present to
hear of the "first shoe to drop" in the efforts of the clinic to establish a presence in the Canal
neighborhood. In looking at their data, she stated they were aware that 4,300 patients out of 11,000
served last year lived in the Canal neighborhood and accounted for over 18,000 visits out of 45,000;
therefore, there clearly was a need in the neighborhood and they were delighted to accept the grant and
move forward with establishing a location.
Chairman Boro thanked Ms. Patterson for presenting the Agency Board with a fact sheet.
In their search for a facility, Member Heller inquired whether they were finding any possible locations.

Canal and Ms. Patterson confirmed this.
