The following provides a list of selected highlights from the Marin County Board of Supervisors agenda and is not meant to be an exhaustive list of the entire agenda. The County posts and distributes a full agenda for each Board of Supervisors meeting on the Thursdays prior to a scheduled Tuesday meeting.
Resolution Honoring Supervisor Katie Rice
Shortly after convening at 9 AM: The Board plans to adopt a resolution commending District 2 Supervisor Katie Rice for her 20 years of service to the County. The Marin native started as an aide to Supervisor Hal Brown, then was appointed as his successor after his death in 2011. She subsequently won three elections to serve as a District 2 Supervisor. She decided not to run again in 2024, and newly elected Brian Colbert will begin his term in January 2025.
Instructions on 2025-26 County Budget
Staff from the Office of the County Executive will provide a report on budget developments for fiscal year 2025-26 and seek Board acceptance on the projections, then seek Board instructions as it continues to plan for the coming months. The Board approved an $815 million all-funds budget in June. Staff recommends a change in the traditional annual plans and proposes holding informational budget workshops in February instead of March and bring the proposed budget to the Board and public for review in May instead of June. (Staff report).
Funding for Marinwood Plaza Proposed Development
An application is under review for a proposed affordable housing development in unincorporated Marinwood and a request to use funds from the County’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund for the project. The Community Development Agency plans to ask the Board to approve a $6.2 million loan to support the development of 125 affordable housing home on the Marinwood Plaza parcel. (Staff report).
Project Charter for San Geronimo Commons
No earlier than 1:30 PM, the Department of Public Works will provide an update and a proposed project charter for the San Geronimo Commons property, which will serve as the new headquarters for the Marin County Fire Department. The property at 5800 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard is in a central location that enables better access to key areas of the county and will enhance incident response times. The current headquarters in Woodacre is outdated and more than 100 years old. (Staff report).
Hearing on Marin Catholic High School Field Lights
No earlier than 4:30 PM: (This item was continued from the December 10 meeting.) Marin Catholic High School in Kentfield would like to install a permanent athletic field lighting system and associated wayfinding lighting. In October, the Marin County Planning Commission voted to deny an environmental determination that the archdiocese is exempt from the requirement to prepare an environmental document pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). School representatives appealed the decision. The Community Development Agency recommends that the Board deny the appeal and sustain the Planning Commission’s denial of the CEQA Exemption for the Archdiocese of San Francisco’s Design Review. (Summary of continuation).
