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.
Electrification Roadmap
Shortly after convening at 9 AM: As part of its sustainability efforts, the County and its partners are working toward transitioning local buildings to a more energy-efficient future. That means electrification, which leads to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel use. Marin Climate and Energy Partnership and the County’s Sustainability Team drafted recommended key actions to equitably transition to the electrification of Marin’s buildings and released it in August. The Board will hear a request to receive the report and adopt the roadmap. (Staff report).
Proposed Parking Restrictions in Bolinas
The unincorporated Bolinas community has no dedicated resident parking provisions in place, and it has become increasingly difficult over time for them to secure on-street parking close to their homes at certain times when the Pacific coastal area is visited by tourists. The Department of Public Works is introducing an ordinance establishing a residential parking permit program and oversized vehicle parking restrictions. It is asking the Board to adopt a resolution to execute a memorandum of understanding between the County and the Bolinas Community Public Utility District (Staff report).
Community Service Fund Allocations
Applications have been reviewed for the County’s Community Services Fund, a resource for nonprofits and other qualified organizations to receive grants of between $1,000 and $10,000 for one-time-only needs. Twice a year, grants applications are filed with the Office of the County Executive (OCE) and reviewed by OCE staff. Applicants must be registered with the Internal Revenue Service as a 501c3 charity or a tax-exempt organization that provides services to all Marin County residents. Cycle 1 closed August 31, and 45 requests were received. The total funding requested is $427,400; approximately $200,000 is the expected allocation. (Staff report and recommended allocations).
