Bolinas
Community Public Utility District
A Regular Meeting Of The Board
Of Directors
September 16, 2009 270 Elm Road, Bolinas
1. Call to Order.
7:31 p.m.
2. Roll.
Directors Amoroso, Kimball, McClellan, Siedman and Smith
present; director Siedman presiding.
3. Report on September 10, 2009 Closed Session of the BCPUD
Board of Directors.
Director Siedman reported the Board had held a closed
session on September 10, 2009 and no action was taken.
4. Manager’s Report.
Staff reported that the Mesa Road Pressure Reducing Valve (“PRV”) Station
Reconstruction Project is out to bid; the mandatory contractor site visit
was held earlier in the day and was the opportunity for contractors intending
to bid on the project to see the site and ask questions. The project
involves reconstructing the existing PRV station at the intersection of Mesa
and Olema-Bolinas Road and installing associated piping to valves across
the street; a new, additional PRV will be installed, which will enable the
district to separately control water flow and pressure to downtown and along
Gospel Flats. Bids are due on September 23, 2009 and staff hopes the
contract will be awarded soon thereafter, assuming the district receives
qualified bids that are in the best interest of the district. Staff
noted that there is an item later on the agenda for the Board to approve
the Contract Documents and authorize the award of the contract.
The district is moving quickly with the PRV station project due to the installation
of the County’s bike path on the east side of Olema-Bolinas Road, which is
back on schedule. The district has not yet been provided with a set
of the final plans for the bike path project; however, district staff has
a very good relationship with the County’s Department of Public Works road
crew and will be providing mutual assistance. District staff will replace
services and move hydrants along Gospel Flats next week; as such, notice
has been issued to affected customers that the water will be off intermittently
all week. The Bolinas School will be affected by the water shut-off
and has made the necessary arrangements for porta potties and handwashing
stations.
Staff noted the district currently has two other projects pending with its
engineers: (1) the water main extension 150 and 190 Horseshoe Hill
Road and (2) the relocation of the sewer collection main under Terrace Avenue
at Surfer’s Overlook. Staff expects to receive design plans and specifications
for the first project at the beginning of October and for the second project
in mid-November.
Over the past weekend, the district received 0.4 inches of rain at office
building and 0.7 of rain at the Woodrat Water Treatment Plant. This
rain should be very helpful as the creekflows have dropped in recent weeks;
in fact, the district has been operating one of the filters at the treatment
plant on reservoir water due to the low creek flows. The recent rains
should reduce demand for landscape irrigation and recharge the creek.
Staff reported that recent discussions with representatives from the State
Office of Emergency Services confirm that the district has been approved
for full reimbursement by FEMA of the funds it expended to restore the Arroyo
Hondo reservoir and road after the 2005-06 Winter Storms. On a separate
topic, the district’s 2008-09 audit is underway, with field work scheduled
to begin on September 18, 2009.
On the wastewater side of operations, staff reported an emergency at the
lift station occurred over Labor Day weekend: the main breaker switch
tripped and set off the alarm. When staff investigated, the breaker
would trip, the alarm would signal and the generator would start up.
Bill Pierce worked with Reiner Altermann to diagnose the problem and determined
that the district’s breaker had failed. PG&E was called to pull
its meter out of the way and a replacement breaker was installed.
At the sewer ponds, a second new irrigation pump was installed the prior
week without incident. The district is discharging wastewater (i.e.,
spraying the in the fields) intensely right now as staff had delayed any
spraying at the start of the season last spring to allow conditions to stay
sufficiently dry to mow and conduct additional vegetation management activities.
The Board reviewed correspondence sent and received since the last Board
meeting, including a letter from staff to the California Department of Public
Health (“CDPH”) setting froth a timeline to reduce TTHMs and HAA5s in the
district’s drinking water. The district also received a notice from
CDPH about a regulatory fee increase and a letter from Redwood Empire Disposal
requesting a rate increase based on the terms of the existing franchise agreement.
Staff directed the Board’s attention to insurance documentation verifying
that the district’s new Ford 250 is covered under its policy; staff thanked
the Board for approving the purchase of the new vehicle.
Staff presented a draft memorandum from the district to the Bank of Marin
directing the banking transactions approved by the Board at the September
10, 2009 special meeting; staff has scheduled a meeting with the bank on
September 21, 2009 to conduct the transactions, which must be approved by
the Board and authorized by two signatures.
V.Amoroso/B.Kimball all in favor
to approve the draft memorandum from the district to the Bank of Marin and
to authorize director Siedman and staff to sign the memorandum.
Finally, staff noted the annual Coastal Cleanup is scheduled for this Saturday.
The Marin County Stormwater Pollution Prevention staff will be at Agate Beach;
those interested in helping should meet at the beach by 9:00 a.m. on Saturday,
September 19, 2009.
-- Update on the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) Accessibility of
the BCPUD Building.
Staff plans to put the project out to bid as soon as possible after bids
have been received and a contract awarded for the Mesa Road Pressure Reducing
Valve Station Reconstruction Project.
-- Drainage Project Manager’s Report.
Drainage Project Manager Lewie Likover is on vacation.
5 Community Expression.
None.
6. Dwaileebe Coastal Permit (CP 10-11), APN # 191-031-33,
210 Elm Road, Bolinas (single family residence and two-car garage)
Director Siedman said the applicant evidently applied
to the County to convert existing agricultural wells on the property to domestic
water wells; director Siedman said it is his understanding that the application
to convert the wells may already have been granted -- if so, the district
did not receive any notice about the application per the terms of the existing
Well Permitting Agreement with the County’s Environmental Health Services
(“EHS”) department. Director Siedman noted that the Board is in receipt
of a letter from Joseph Grodin, an adjacent property owner, which states
that he was not previously aware of Mr. Dwaileebe’s project and does not
have sufficient time to determine if it adversely affects his property.
Director Smith said he was concerned about the apparent
lack of notification from EHS, so he called the EHS office. He said
EHS staff apologized for the oversight and advised him that EHS has not issued
a domestic well permit for this project; rather, the application has been
referred to the Coastal Permit process. For a domestic water well to
be permitted in the Coastal Zone, either the well must be located at least
100 feet from all of the applicant’s property lines, or a finding must be
made that allowing the wells to be permitted within the 100 foot setback
will not impose any development constraints on neighboring properties.
(Wells must maintain a 100 foot setback from all existing and future septic
systems.) Director Smith noted that Mr. Dwaileebe’s wells are not located
at least 100 feet from his own property lines; director Smith therefore analyzed
whether there are any development constraints posed by the proposed water
wells on neighboring properties and he concludes that several properties
would be developmentally constrained if Mr. Dwaileebe’s proposed water wells
are approved. Director Smith detailed the extent of encroachment posed
by Mr. Dwaileebe’s proposed wells on neighboring properties and said his
concerns about this project are based on the known marginal condition of
many septic systems on the Mesa and the district’s long-standing efforts
to help residents improve their site conditions with better drainage.
Director Smith said he feels the district has an obligation to advise the
County that the proposed wells will pose a development constraint on neighboring
properties.
Discussion ensued about the apparent lack of notification
to the BCPUD from EHS about the domestic water well permit filed by Mr. Dwaileebe.
Director Siedman said that if the County approved the permit without following
the notice requirements, then neighbors have been deprived of their opportunity
to be heard and any approval granted should be rescinded; director Amoroso
agreed.
Director Smith focused on the development constraints
posed by the location of the proposed water wells; he noted that EHS implemented
a policy in April 2007 regarding water wells on the Gridded Mesa and that
policy specifically sites development constraints on septic systems as a
reason why a 100 foot setback from property lines must be enforced for all
wells on the Gridded Mesa. Director McClellan stated that as long as
this is factually correct, he does not object to pointing it out, but he
said the district should not be taking any positions supporting one class
of property owners over another. Residents commented that the County
would be setting a bad precedent in this case to waive the 100 foot setback;
there are implications for the entire Gridded Mesa if exceptions are granted.
V.Amoroso/J.McClellan all in favor to
send one letter to EHS to complain about the apparent lack of notification
about the well permit application and asking EHS to withdraw any approval
given without the proper notice and to send one letter to the Planning Department
to point out the development constraints posed by the proposed water wells.
7. Hodge Coastal Permit (CP 10-10), APN # 192-121-32, Alder
Road between Cedar Road and Dogwood Road, Bolinas (relocation of single family
residence to property site).
Steve Hodge explained that he plans to move an existing
40 x 16 square foot house to his property; the current owners of the structure
were planning to tear it down but agreed to sell it to Steve to move to his
lot. Directors noted an apparent typo in the County’s transmittal memorandum,
which identifies the house as a 2411 square foot house. Steve confirmed
that the house is only 640 square feet – one bedroom, one bath. After
further discussion, staff was directed to inform the planner that there was
no comment on this application.
8. Request for the BCPUD to Accept Three Undeveloped Parcels
from the Bolinas Community Center.
Marcella Robinson was present on behalf of the Bolinas
Community Center and explained that the Center has endeavored to gift three
parcels of property to a number of different entities, including the County’s
Open Space District and the Bolinas Community Land Trust but, for various
reasons, the gift does not meet the criteria of these organizations.
Simply stated, the Center cannot afford to carry the property taxes on these
parcels. The Center does not wish to see the property go to private
hands but rather would prefer that a tax-exempt public entity such as the
BCPUD accept the parcels as a gift. Discussion ensued about any increased
liability exposure the district might face if it were to own the properties
and staff was directed to contact County Counsel for a legal opinion and
continue the matter to the next month’s agenda.
9. Request from the Bolinas Fire Protection District (“BFPD”)
for Approval for BCPUD Employees to Voluntarily Train With and Assist the
BFPD in Responding to Emergency Calls on As-Needed Basis.
Staff noted that Fire Chief Anita Tyrrell-Brown is not
yet in attendance and requested to defer this item until she arrives; there
was no objection from the Board.
10. BCPUD Letter of Comment on the Light Brown Apple Moth
(“LBAM”) Draft Environmental Impact Report.
Director Kimball reminded the Board that residents requested
at the prior meeting that the BCPUD Board write a letter of comment
on the LBAM draft EIR. Director Kimball and staff prepared a letter
for the Board’s consideration, which relies heavily on information developed
by interested environmental groups and others with concerns about the LBAM
eradiation program. She noted that the deadline for public comment
in September 28, 2009.
D. Smith/V. Amoroso all in favor to approve
the BCPUD letter of comment on the LBAM draft EIR.
Director Smith said that he finds it appalling that the
California Department of Food & Agriculture is spending millions of dollars
on a deficient EIR and an ad campaign in support of the LBAM program when
the state is in dire economic straits and he requested that this comment
be added to the letter of comment; there was no objection.
11. November 3, 2009 Election: Special Mailing of Advisory
Measure H Ballot (re: Camping on Bolinas Beach) to Registered Voters Located
Within the Boundaries of the Bolinas Fire Protection District And Outside
of the Boundaries of the BCPUD; Schedule Community Meeting to Discuss
Measure H; Schedule Candidates’ Night for BCPUD Board Candidates.
Director Smith reported that he spoke with the Registrar
of Voter’s office about the district’s desire to conduct a special mailing
of Advisory Measure H to registered voters who reside outside the boundaries
of the BCPUD but within the boundaries of the Bolinas Fire Protection District.
Director Smith purchased voter roles for both districts and identified the
target group of voters. The Registrar’s office concurs that since this
is an Advisory Measure the process does not to be as rigorous as in a contested
election – thus, if the district conducts the special mailing and requires
that votes be returned in the self-addressed, stamped envelope provided (one
vote per envelope only), that would be sufficient to ensure the integrity
of the vote. It will not be necessary or practicable to verify voter
signatures. The Board reviewed the draft special mailing; staff inquired
whether the ballot arguments and rebuttals should be included and the Board
said that they should.
Director Amoroso said he thought the Board had voted not
to hold a community meeting on Measure H. Director Smith said that
was true, but he asked for the agenda item to reconsider the issue.
He said he believes the Board voted not to hold a meeting because the directors
could not figure out how to conduct it neutrally or who should host it; he
felt that was unfortunate so he called the mediation board for a recommendation
for an out-of-town mediator. He ultimately located Rae Levine with
Levine Consulting; she is well-respected and she agreed to facilitate a community
meeting on Measure H if the BCPUD wants to hire her. Rae is available
on October 8th and director Smith recommended the BCPUD hire her to facilitate
a public meeting on Measure H that evening at the Firehouse & Clinic
public meeting room. In answer to questions about the cost of engaging
Ms. Levine, director Smith said she agreed to a fee of $500, which covers
the meeting, travel and preparation.
Discussion ensued about the possible meeting format, the
advisability of an out-of-town facilitator vs. local facilitator, the location
of the meeting (Firehouse meeting room vs. Bolinas Community Center), and
whether the meeting would be well-attended. Kim Bender suggested that
the meeting should occur after the sample ballots have been sent out; director
Smith said the Registrar’s office told him that sample ballots will be mailed
out during the last week of September, so the BCPUD special mailing should
go out the same week. He said that the meeting can be advertised on
local blogs, in the Hearsay News and posters downtown. After
further discussion, director Siedman summarized by saying all Board members
agree that a community meeting is desirable, that someone needs to run it
and that the person running the meeting needs to be unbiased. Cela
O’Connor suggested that director Siedman run the meeting as he is well known
as fair and neutral; director Siedman said he would only be willing to do
so if there was no objection – if there is any objection, he does not wish
to serve as facilitator.
Director Smith moved that the Board reverse its prior
decision not to hold a community meeting on Measure H in favor of holding
a meeting at the Firehouse & Clinic Public Meeting room facilitated by
Rae Levine on October 8, 2009. There was no second to the motion.
Director Smith moved that the Board reverse its prior
decision not to hold a community meeting on Measure H in favor of holding
a meeting. Director Amoroso said he seconded the motion for discussion
purposes – he still wants to know who will organize the meeting and who will
speak. Director McClellan said he has no opinion on those issues.
Director Kimball said she voted against having a community meeting previously
because it did not seem as though the community wanted a meeting; now, however,
it is clear that there is interest in such a meeting and she supports the
community consensus. Directors Siedman and Smith each said they support
holding a community meeting.
Director Amoroso said the he feels that someone from the
former Beach Committee should step up to a role in the meeting. Cela
O’Connor said that Bruce Bowser did lots of hard work on the Committee report
and that he should present it; she said that she will commit to presenting
the Committee report at the meeting if Bruce declines to do so. After
further discussion about whether to engage the facilitator, director Amoroso
asked director Smith to reintroduce his first motion and said that he would
second it. Director Smith moved to hold a community meeting on Measure
H at the Firehouse & Clinic Public Meeting room on October 8th at 7:30
p.m. and hire Rae Levine to facilitate the meeting. Director Amoroso
moved to amend the motion by specifying that time will be set aside during
the meeting for a presentation of the Beach Committee report. Director
Smith agreed and added that the ballot arguments should also be read.
Director Siedman repeated the entire motion, adding that the cost of hiring
Rae Levine shall not exceed $500. Director Amoroso seconded the motion.
D. Smith/V. Amoroso all in favor to hold
a community meeting on Measure H at the Firehouse & Clinic Public Meeting
room on October 8, 2009 at 7:30 p.m., to be facilitated by Rae Levine at
a cost not to exceed $500.
Discussion then turned to Candidates’ Night for the BCPUD Board candidates.
Ultimately, it was agreed to hold Candidates’ Night on Tuesday, October 20,
2009 beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Firehouse Meeting Room, 100 Mesa Road.
Director Siedman, noting that Fire Chief Anita Tyrrell-Brown
was now present, called agenda item 9.
9. Request from the Bolinas Fire Protection District (“BFPD”)
for Approval for BCPUD Employees to Voluntarily Train With and Assist the
BFPD in Responding to Emergency Calls on As-Needed Basis.
Anita Tyrrell-Brown explained that fire department volunteers
historically live and work in their community; hence, if there is an
emergency call during the workweek, volunteers are available to respond.
Now, however, the fire district is often very light on volunteers during
the week as an increasing number of those volunteers work out of town.
Anita proposed that BCPUD operations staff cross-train with the fire department
and be available to respond to emergency calls on an as-needed basis during
the workweek. Anita has confirmed with the fire department’s insurance
carrier that BCPUD operations staff would be fully covered as authorized
fire department volunteers under both the workers compensation and liability
policies. She noted that the Inverness Public Utility District is a
joint water and fire district – the arrangement is not unusual. In
response to questions, Anita said the BCPUD operations staff likely would
need to cross-train one hour per month and she estimated that they would
be asked to respond to emergency calls approximately six times per year.
She emphasized that this would be on a voluntary basis only and that BCPUD
staff would not be expected to respond to a call if the utility district
itself was coping with an emergency situation. BCPUD staff said that
there are details to be worked out regarding compensation and overtime, but
if the concept is approved by the Board, staff from both districts will prepare
a formal written agreement to address all details for review and approval
by both district Boards of Directors. The Board had no objection.
12. Local Coastal Plan and County Housing Element Updates: BCPUD
Comments on Housing (including Second Unit) Component.
Director Smith spoke first to the County Housing Element
Update. He noted that there is a provision in the County Development
Code which states that there can be no new second units in Bolinas until
the BCPUD certifies that water is available for new primary units.
In light of the current and very serious shortage of affordable housing,
it seems that second units are the County’s best answer to the problem.
The County currently is updating its housing element; director Smith and
Lisa Kramer, Executive Director of the Bolinas Community Land Trust (“BCLT”)
have spoke with the responsible County planner, Leelee Thomas, and she has
agreed to propose language to amend the County Development Code to eliminate
the problematic provision. As noted in prior meetings, the BCPUD’s
water use permit process is one of the means by which the community’s limited
water supply is monitored and managed; prohibiting second units is therefore
unnecessarily restrictive. Director Smith proposed that the BCPUD write
a letter of support for the Planning Department’s proposed language.
V. Amoroso/J.McClellan all in favor to
write a letter to the County Planning Department concurring with Planning
staff’s recommendation to amend the County Development Code to eliminate
the provision prohibiting new second units in Bolinas.
Director Smith then spoke to the Local Coastal Plan update
process. He met recently with Steve Matson, Lisa Kramer and Turk Kauffman,
who is an architect on the Little Mesa; they discussed possible comments
on the housing issue as presented in the Local Coastal Plan draft Update.
The consensus was to acknowledge (and seek BCPUD support for) the fact there
is insufficient low cost housing for those working on behalf the community
and its visitors. Director Smith said that easiest way to create additional
low cost housing is to loosen up on the restrictions imposed on uses of developed
properties; he noted that the existing LCP essentially says that low cost
housing won’t work in West Marin it should all be located in East Marin.
Director Smith said that the LCP provisions on housing should be updated
to be consistent with the County’s Housing element and to promote water conservation.
Director Smith said he would like to draft a letter of comment for the BCPUD’s
review, which will then be forwarded to the County’s Planning staff.
Discussion ensued about who should have input on the content of the letter;
ultimately it was agreed that director Smith will circulate a draft letter
to the Bolinas Planning Group for its review, followed by submittal to the
BCPUD Board for approval.
13. Amendment of Road-Grading Policy for Bolinas Mesa Dirt Roads.
Director Smith proposed amending BCPUD Ordinance 30 to include the following
language into the definition of “obstruction”: “Any irregularity exceeding
4 inches in height or depth as measured against a straight span of 10 feet
anywhere along or across a road is considered an obstruction.”
Director Smith acknowledged that whether or not to improve the roads is a
contentious issue, but he pointed out that the roads can deteriorate so badly
that it is difficult to impossible for emergency vehicles to get through.
On the other hand, if the roads are improved, some people drive dangerously
fast. Property owners then often install speedbumps to slow drivers
down, but that is also problematic and the BCPUD does not have the expertise
to set specifications for speedbumps. Director’s Smith’s suggested
definition of obstruction therefore seeks to create a minimum standard for
the road grade on the Gridded Mesa.
Kent Khtikian said he appreciates director Smith’s efforts to balance competing
concerns and he agrees that 4 inches is a reasonable definition. However,
he said the height or depth of a particular speedbump or pothole is not the
problem – rather, the problem is how many speedbumps or potholes can be installed
on one road? He observed that if each property owner on west
Poplar installs a speedbump of less than 4 inches in height adjacent to their
property, there would be 29 speedbumps on this stretch of road; if each property
owner installs 2 or 3 or more speedbumps, there could be hundreds.
Andy Blake said many people drive too fast on Poplar Road and speedbumps
are necessary; however, the question of how many speedbumps to install
is a real concern. Andy wishes the community could simply put up speedlimit
signs that would be observed and eliminate the need for any speedbumps; unfortunately,
this is neither possible nor practicable. Andy said the only approach
that really seems to work is installing speedbumps at each intersection so
that cars slow dramatically before proceeding.
Director Siedman said he agrees the number of speedbumps is a problem, but
that people should be entitled to slow traffic near their property.
Director McClellan said the amended language should contain a rebuttable
presumption, such as “unless otherwise shown” at the end of the definition
so that people can make arguments on a case-by-case basis. Director
Smith said the roads should be smooth enough to ensure the safe passage of
emergency, garbage and utility vehicles.
After further discussion, Director Siedman directed staff to include an item
on the October agenda to amend BCPUD Ordinance 30 to include the definition
proposed by director Smith, as amended by director McClellan.
14. Request to Amend Mesa Park Water Reclamation and Irrigation Grant.
Director Siedman presented a draft letter to the California Department of
Parks and Recreation requesting an amendment to the Mesa Park Water Reclamation
and Irrigation grant to use ground water, rather than partially treated water
from Pond 3, as the source of water for the grant-funded project. Several
clarifications were offered by Director Amoroso and Andy Blake.
J. McClellan/B. Kimball all in favor
to approve sending the letter to the California Department of Parks and Recreation,
as amended.
Staff requested that representatives of Mesa Park and the BCPUD attend the
next meeting of the Resource Recovery Project on September 28th to discuss
the irrigation well and next steps in the grant process. There was
no objection. Directors Siedman and Amoroso agreed to attend, as did
Andy Blake.
15. Fire House Community Park Agency (aka “Mesa Park”):
Completion of Facilities; Extend Term of Appointment of BCPUD-appointed Commissioner(s).
Director Sieman requested the item be deleted from the agenda because it
is not necessary for the BCPUD to make a finding about the completion of
Mesa Park facilities; rather, Mesa Park can make the required finding.
He recommended that the term of the current BCPUD-appointed commissioner(s)
be extended until the November 2010 election. Staff noted that this
would impact the term of Andy Blake and that the terms should be extended
to January 2011 as that will be the effective date of newly elected commissioners.
J. McClellan/B. Kimball all in favor
to extend the term of Mesa Park Commissioner Andy Blake until January 2011.
16. BCPUD Letter in Opposition to Governor Schwarzenegger’s Suspension
of 2009 Subventions to California Counties for Williamson Act Properties.
V. Amoroso/J. McClellan all in favor
to approve the BCPUD letter in opposition to Governor Schwarzenegger’s suspension
of 2009 subventions to California counties.
17. Resolution 585: Approving Form of Contract Documents for
Mesa Road Pressure Reducing Valve Station Reconstruction Project and Authorizing
General Manager to Award Contract to Lowest Responsible Qualified Bidder.
J. McClellan/D. Smith all in favor
to approve Resolution 585.
18. Association of California Water Agencies (“ACWA”):
Region 1 Election for the 2010-2011 Term: Official Ballot re:
Officers and Board Members.
Director Kimball said that she has researched the slate
of candidates recommended by the Association of California Water Agencies
and that the slate is acceptable.
B. Kimball/J. McClellan all in favor
to vote in favor of the ACWA-recommended slate of Officers and Board Members.
19. Volunteer Committee Reports
-- Alternative Energy: Nothing to report.
-- Bolinas Planning Group: Nothing to report.
-- Bolinas Lagoon Technical Advisory Committee: Director Amoroso reported
the committee met the prior month and resolved to take action to stop species
harvesting in the lagoon and surrounding areas.
-- Downtown Parking & Traffic Committee: Staff was directed to
e-mail committee members and schedule a meeting for purposes of submitting
the committee’s parking plan to County Planning staff for consideration in
connection with the Local Coastal Plan Update.
-- Resource Recovery: Nothing further to report.
-- Terrace Avenue/Alternative Access Road Committee: Director Smith
reported that the County DPW road crew is planning to re-seat the guard rail
on Terrace Avenue at Surfer’s Overlook. Director Siedman expressed
strong concern about the condition of the south side of Terrace Avenue at
Overlook Drive – as the County adds additional asphalt to this section of
road, the drop-off next to the bluff is getting very deep and poses a danger
to vehicles. Staff was directed to inform the County DPW about this
dangerous condition. Staff confirmed that Anita Tyrrell-Brown is in
communication with Supervisor Kinsey’s office about the status of funds to
pay for an engineering solution to stabilize Terrace Avenue at Surfer’s Overlook.
-- West Nile Virus Task Force/West Marin Mosquito Control Coordinating Council:
Nothing to report.
20. Other Business
a. Board Committee Reports
-- Finance: Staff was directed to schedule a committee meeting to discuss
the status of the district’s reserve funds and review a prioritized list
of possible district expenditures.
-- Legal: Nothing to report.
-- Mesa Septic, Flood Control and Roads: Nothing to report.
-- Operations: Nothing to report.
-- Park and Recreation: Staff reported that “Toxic Away Day” will be
held on September 26, 2009 at the Mesa Park parking lot.
-- Personnel: Nothing to report.
-- Sewer: Nothing to report.
