A WORD FROM THE TOWN MANAGER

Synagogue Reopens Congregation Kol Shofar affixed the traditional Mezuzah and opened the doors at its newly refurbished home on Blackfield Drive this past month. This project was the subject of great controversy in 2006 and 2007. After litigation and many lengthy, heavily-attended meetings, it was finally approved through a compromise spearheaded by a committee of then-Councilmembers Tom Gram and Paul Smith. Modifications were made to the size of the building as well as some operations (special events, etc.) to address neighborhood concerns about noise, traffic and parking. Apart from the grand opening, which produced some snags due to a larger than expected turnout, the Synagogue and the neighborhood seem to be getting along. The building truly is well done (the interior in particular is spectacular) and a credit to the community. We here at Town Hall extend our heartiest congratulations to CKS. May all who go there do so in peace and may harmony reign in the neighborhood!

Calling all Neighborhood Associations

Mark your calendars – the annual Neighborhood Association Summit will be on October 23, a Saturday, here in Town Hall from 10:00 a.m. to noon. While geared to associations (heads of those organizations are particularly encouraged to attend) it’s open to any interested resident. It’s a great opportunity to hear what’s going on and share with the Town Council and staff any opinions or ideas you may have. It’s very informal and coffee will be served!

Note on the City of Bell Scandal If you regularly open a newspaper, the mere mention of the City of Bell may cause your back to stiffen and your teeth to clench. The exorbitant salaries, including for Councilmembers, coupled with rampant self-dealing with the city’s coffers, are truly appalling and an extraordinary breach of the public trust. I can assure you that all salaries here in Tiburon are set through a public process. As the saying goes, “sunlight is the best antiseptic”. In particular I want to emphasize that, contrary to the practice in many cities and towns, Tiburon’s elected officials and appointed board members receive no compensation. While elected officials in Bell received $100,000 annually for part-time work, our Council members put in hundreds of hours every year for … not one cent.

Sincerely,

Peggy Curran

Street Paving Projects Begin

It’s that time of year again when the Town of Tiburon invests resources in improving neighborhood roads. The Town is commencing its annual street resurfacing project at the end of September.

The type and complexity of the resurfacing work will vary depending on the nature and condition of the particular street. Street segments that will be worked on include the following (grouped by area or neighborhood):

Palmer Court: Tiburon Bouleved to end
Beach Road: Main Street to Marsh Road
Lyford Drive: Round Hill Road to Acela Drive
Marinero Circle: All

Blackfield Drive: Cecilia Avenue to Karen Way
Blackfield Drive: Karen Way to Reedland Woods Way
Paradise Drive: Main Street to Mar West Street
Hilary Drive: 425 Feet East Of Rock Hill Drive to Rock Hill Drive
Hilary Drive: Rock Hill Drive to Mara Vista Court
Taylor Road: Cibrian Drive to cul de sac
Benton Court: Hacienda Drive to cul de sac
Pine Terrace: Tiburon Boulevard to end
Virginia Drive: Stewart Drive to west end

Warren Court: Hacienda Drive to cul de sac
Washington Court: Jefferson Drive to cul de sac
Irving Court: Jefferson Drive to cul de sac
Jefferson Drive: Tiburon Boulevard to end
Stewart Drive: Silverado Drive to Tenaya Drive
Park Place: South end to Cibrian Drive

The project contractor is Ghilotti Bros., Inc. They will provide further notices through the use of door tags and flyers as they mobilize in the affected neighborhoods. Although the entire project will last up to 2 months, the work on any particular street may take only one to two weeks. During work hours, all emergency and special-needs access to and from your residences or businesses will be maintained and coordinated. Please call us if you need to coordinate special access.

Temporary lane closures, road closures, construction noise, and dust and debris are anticipated, but we will work with the contractor to mitigate these impacts as much as reasonably possible. Your patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Ghilotti Bros. Superintendent, Rob White, at 760-1209, or Town field contact, Al Petrie, at 707-974-9193.

Homeowners and Contractors: It’s Time to Winterize Your Projects!

With the onset of the rainy season, it is important for homeowners and their contractors to “winterize” unfinished projects.

The Town requires all contractors to employ Best Management Practices (BMP’s) in order to prevent the discharge of construction wastes or other contaminants into the Town’s storm drain system.

“Contaminants” are construed to be any discharge not entirely composed of storm water, so it is especially important to have good housekeeping at construction sites in order to prevent storm water pollution. Allowing such pollution from your project site is not only illegal, it is often very expensive to remedy after a storm has occurred!

What can YOU do to prevent storm water pollution and bring your job site into compliance with the Town’s code?

Here are some suggestions:

Schedule grading/excavation activities for dry weather periods only.
Protect storm drain structures with berms or approved filters, and downstream drainage courses with drainage swales and/or silt fences.
Control run-off amounts and velocities with appropriate use of temporary or permanent ditches, berms and check dams.
Cover stockpiles of materials and excavated soils with secured tarps or plastic sheeting.
Sweep paved surfaces that drain to storm drains, creeks or channels.
Remove existing vegetation ONLY where absolutely necessary, and seed or re-vegetate slopes where construction is not immediately planned. Areas seeded after September 20 should also be treated with erosion blankets, straw, netting or other appropriate means.
Make your employees and subcontractors aware of the Town’s requirements and of their responsibilities to comply with BMP’s.
Employ other measures in accordance with published BMP’s.

Here’s what YOU MUST DO in order to comply with the Town Code if your project is currently underway or plannedbetween October 1 and April 30:

INSTALL erosion and siltation control by October 1

INSPECT on-site erosion and siltation control facilities immediately before each storm, allowing sufficient time to make needed corrections or improvements.

INSPECT on-site erosion and siltation control facilities after each storm to correct any damaged or failed measures.

MAINTAIN erosion and siltation control facilities on a regular basis, including silt removal at silt fences and sediment ponds, replacement of worn silt fence fabric, and seeding and mulching of areas which become denuded over time.

Additional erosion control measures to be aware of (and be aware that there are PENALTIES for NON-COMPLIANCE) are outlined in the Town’s Winterization and Site Management Notice, available at the Building Division’s public counter.

Random site inspections are made and failure to comply with the above requirements could result in an immediate job shutdown until appropriate measures are in place. If you are unsure if your site complies, schedule an inspection with the Town of Tiburon Building Division.

You are urged to implement these measures as quickly as possible to avoid unnecessary delays to your project. Remember, proper site winterization and adherence to BMP’s is in everyone’s best interest!

If you have any questions, please call the Town’s Building Division at 435-7380.

A WORD FROM THE TOWN MANAGER

Del Mar Litigation:

Resolution at Last

With drama befitting such a lengthy and difficult saga, the suspense of the Del Mar Undergrounding litigation ended on the last day of 2009: the First District Court of Appeal issued a long expected ruling, and the Town came out on the losing end. The plaintiffs were vindicated in their assertion that the undergrounding district did not comply with state law as set forth in Proposition 218.

The question then became: was there some way for the Town to pull a satisfactory outcome from this legal and financial setback, that is, one that would minimize cost and also allow the undergrounding to proceed, or was this just going to be a long, painful and fruitless episode for project proponents and the Town?

I’m happy to report that a sustained effort to find a workable solution has proven successful, and the final resolution of this remarkably long journey may be the outcome the residents have been seeking since 2003. Our Council litigation committee, Mayor Dick Collins and Councilmember Emmett O’Donnell, along with Town Attorney Ann Danforth and me, set about crafting a settlement with the plaintiffs’ attorneys, Frank Mulberg and Brett Mulberg, who worked cooperatively with the Town to create the opportunity for the undergrounding to finally proceed. The whole Town Council has been involved throughout the process in a series of closed session meetings and two agreements have been approved and signed. Allow me to elaborate.

A Brief HistoryIn 2003, some residents of the Del Mar Valley and adjacent areas, encompassing 221 homes in all, commenced the lengthy process of creating an undergrounding district to rid the neighborhood of utility poles and overhead lines. Undergrounding enhances safety, reliability and aesthetics in neighborhoods, but it is a costly undertaking. To form a district is a complicated process but, simply put, the residents vote to assess themselves and the Town then issues bonds to fund the project, using the assessments for bond repayment, usually over a 20-year period. The Town acts as the middleman on the flow of money, coordinates with the private utilities and engages the contractor through the public works bidding process, all as set forth in state law. All-in-all, it’s a pretty complicated process that takes years from start to finish, but can have a very dramatic impact for the better on participating neighborhoods.

In the case of Del Mar undergrounding, the Town formed an assessment district in 2005; within a month, two families sued (Bonander v. Town of Tiburon or “Bonander I”), arguing, among other things, that the cost of assessments was unfairly distributed across the participating homes and thus not in compliance with state law. Nevertheless, bonds were issued, substantial engineering work was completed by the Town and participating utilities, and the project went out to bid. Project bids came back substantially higher than the available funding, so a second or ‘supplemental’ assessment was approved in early 2006. This time the Town brought its own validation suit, aimed at gaining the approval of the court for the supplemental district (Town of Tiburon v. All Persons Interest – Del Mar Valley Undergrounding). The Bonander I plaintiffs, together with nineteen others, filed a cross-complaint (Bonander II). Yet a third suit, filed in 2007 by plaintiff Kevin Mostyn (Mostyn V Town of Tiburon et al), accused the Town and the Town’s legal consultant for the districts, the bond counsel firm of Jones Hall, of various improprieties during the formation process. The Town held off issuing bonds in the supplemental district pending the outcome of the lawsuits.

So it was that three related but distinct lawsuits began their march through the legal process – and a very long march it was. Periodic attempts to settle over the ensuing years were not fruitful. Until last summer, the Town consistently won the critical court rulings, at both the superior and appellate levels. Then, on June 8th of last year, the plaintiffs won the first of two crucial victories. The California Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Bonander I plaintiffs on procedural grounds and sent that case back to the lower court for review of the merits. Before that case even came up for a hearing, the Court of Appeal ruled in Bonander II that the district’s allocation of assessments violated the constitutional provisions of Proposition 218. Although the court had never ruled on the Bonander I district, the likely outcome was clear since that district used the same assessment method.

Why did the Town lose? Despite having used methodology similar to that used by other agencies over the years (plus having the blessing of bond counsel), the court found that the Town’s assessments were too high for some properties, and too small for others. In particular, it determined that using the cost of undergrounding utilities for any particular parcel was an inappropriate basis for setting an assessment and that only benefit conferred could be considered. Because it costs more to underground some properties than others (those with longer frontages require more trenching), the Town’s outside engineering firm included cost as well as benefit in its allocations, creating three different cost zones. In its ruling, however, the court determined that cost could not determine the assessment amounts and concluded the larger properties in the Hacienda zone were paying too much and the smaller ones in the Hawthorne zone too little.

The district having thus been rendered invalid, the stage was now set for complete collapse of the effort at significant cost, unless a settlement could be reached to allow a reformed project to proceed.

Settlement

To understand the Town’s goals in settling the remaining cases, it is useful to understand the implications of alternative paths. The Town simply crying “uncle!” would not have made everything magically disappear, like waking from a bad dream. Doing so would have meant all previously incurred expenses for items such as engineering and issuance of bonds, would become sunk costs without value. It would also force the Town to unravel the whole district, reimburse all the assessments with interest and pay off all the bonds at a premium. It would have to defend against, or settle claims for, attorney fees, and would still have to defend itself in the third (Mostyn) lawsuit, which claims were not resolved by the court ruling. Finally, it would not get the undergrounding project built. In short, simply unraveling would cost more to accomplish less.

Instead, the Town, at the urging of neighborhood representatives, sought to find a way to amend the district to make it compliant with the court ruling and proceed to build. Since settlement was the only alternative to a complete unraveling, the Town engaged in discussions with the plaintiffs’ attorneys to explore options. A good faith exchange resulted and two settlement agreements were reached that create the opportunity for the undergrounding to proceed. Here are the main points:

· The Town will not appeal the ruling and the supplemental district becomes defunct;
· The Town will pay plaintiffs’ attorneys fees of $605,000 to settle the original district case (to dismiss the case and resolve the matter of attorneys’ fees rather than litigating them);
· The original district will be retained, but reconstituted without the Hacienda and Hawthorne zones to comply with the court ruling;
· The Town will reimburse residents in the excluded zones for their previously paid assessments, with 5% interest;
· The residents of the Del Mar Valley will be asked to vote on a new supplemental district (or alternative financing mechanism) at the same assessment level as before;
· The Town will pay the assessments in the new financing district, if approved, for the nine plaintiffs who still live within the reformed boundaries of the district at a cost of approximately $135,300; and
· The plaintiff Mostyn dismissed his case against the Town and the other defendant, the Town’s bond counsel Jones Hall, without prejudice.

To repeat the point of crucial interest to district property owners: if the remaining 164 Del Mar Valley households, those in the “reformed district”, vote to support a new supplemental assessment (or alternative financing mechanism), the undergrounding project will proceed at the same total assessment amounts as before. If the vote fails, the Town will unravel the original district, repaying all assessments paid to date with interest, and there will be no project.

Costs and Remedies

As is evident from the numbers presented, these agreements come at significant cost to the Town as it, rather than the district, must bear the cost of settlement. The Town makes every effort to comply with legal requirements, as it did in forming the Del Mar districts. It relied heavily, as municipalities invariably do in these circumstances, on expert advice for both the technical approach and legality of this endeavor. Town officials and staff are evaluating the services and advice it received and will vigorously explore its options to offset the losses to Town taxpayers and to avoid any similar situations in the future. I believe the Town stands to gain some significant measure of financial relief through that process.

In conclusion, I wish there had been a swifter, less costly outcome to this process. While there might have been a path out of the litigation some five years ago, when the plaintiffs simply wanted to be dropped from the project, there has since been no reasonable exit short of abandoning the whole project at considerable expense. The Town also won key rulings along the way, shoring up expectations that the courts would approve the districts’ methodology. But in the end that did not happen, and the plaintiffs were vindicated in their assertion that the assessments did not comply with the law.

At least there is now an end to this seemingly endless litigation, the undergrounding district can proceed if the neighborhood re-votes it in, and a reasonable outcome can prevail. Everyone involved is relieved to see this episode in the Town’s history draw to a close. I also look forward, as I know do so many Del Mar residents, to the project moving forward and finally watching those poles and wires disappear from the horizon.

Sincerely,

Peggy Curran

NEWS BRIEFS

“Barking Dog” complaints: Police Department response

In a recent edition of Tiburon Talk, the topic of excessive noise by gas-powered leaf blowers and other tools was addressed. Another common complaint received by the Town pertains to disturbance of the peace by “barking dogs”. The Police Department has recently streamlined its barking dog complaint procedure.

If there is a barking dog that is disturbing the neighborhood peace, a resident has only to call the Tiburon Police Department non-emergency line at 789-2800. The call will be directed to the Police Department’s Communication Center and a police officer dispatched. The reporting party will be asked to be as specific as possible as to the location of the barking dog. It is not necessary for the person calling to give his or her personal information to the call taker. Once the call is dispatched to the officer on patrol, he/she will respond to the area to locate the dog.

The officer will attempt to make contact with the animal’s owner. If the owner is home, the officer will request that they quiet the dog. If the owner is not at home, a note will be left advising the owner of the violation. In either instance, a police report will be written and forwarded to the Police Captain for review.

The Police Captain will review the Department’s records for prior offenses. In cases of first offenses, the Captain will write a warning letter to the animal’s owner advising them of the Town’s animal control ordinance and requesting that they prevent their dog from creating a barking nuisance in the future. If it is determined that there are prior offenses, the Captain may issue an Administrative Citation to the dog’s owner with a fine of $146 for each ordinance violation.

Forward your questions regarding barking dogs, or any other noise ordinance violations, to Captain Dave Hutton atdhutton@ci.tiburon.ca.us.

Sincerely,

Michael J. Cronin
