  • Deer Discussion Attachment 1 to City Council Staff Report
    DEER - ATTACHMENT 1 DEER DISCUSSION ATTACHMENT 1 TO CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT STAFF REPORT AND MEMO FROM DEER COMMITTEE NOVEMBER 2009 REPORTS BELVEDERE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 9, 2009 To: Mayor and City Council From: Felicia N. Wheaton, Associate Planner Subject: Findings and recommendations of Deer Committee Recommended Motion/Item Description Review and discuss the findings of the Deer Committee and provide staff with direction with respect to the specific recommendations of the Committee. Background Black-tailed deer are a common sight in Belvedere, particularly on the Island. The deer feed on a variety of plants, traverse well-worn paths, and bed in pockets of dense vegetation. The total number of deer on the Island is unknown, although there is quantity enough to cause aggravation among many of our residents. The City received enough communications expressing concern about the deer to warrant the formation of a citizen committee to research the issues and investigate potential solutions. The Deer Committee held seven public meetings from February to September of 2009. A community-wide questionnaire was conducted to gauge local concern about the issue. The questionnaire had an impressive 50 percent response rate. The majority of respondents resided on the Island and wished for more effort toward deer population control. Concerns ranged from yard damage to fear of personal injury. A summary of the questionnaire results is included in the City of Belvedere Deer Study (Attachment 3). Findings Representatives from the State Department of Fish and Game (DFG) advised the Deer Committee that the deer were a State resource that could not be proactively addressed without the advice and consent of DFG.

  • Beverly Willis: a Life in Architecture
    Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Beverly Willis BEVERLY WILLIS: A LIFE IN ARCHITECTURE Interviews conducted by Victor Geraci, PhD in 2008 Copyright © 2008 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Beverly Willis dated October 15, 2008. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

  • City of Belvedere Annex
    Association of Bay Area Governments Local Hazard Mitigation Plan City of Belvedere Annex Introduction The City of Belvedere is small city, less than one square mile in size, located in southern Marin County near the end of the Tiburon Peninsula. Belvedere is bordered by the City of Tiburon on the east and surrounded elsewhere by the waters of San Francisco Bay. The population of Belvedere is just over 2,000, mostly clustered in three neighborhoods: Belvedere Island, Belvedere Lagoon, and Corinthian Island. The City is completely built-out with single-family homes and approximately 100 rental units. The terrain is predominantly hilly and lush. The City has a 2010/2011 budget of $7.48 million and has 20 employees. Belvedere provides its own police services and receives fire services through the Tiburon Fire Protection District. The Planning Process Belvedere City staff is familiar with the planning process involved with the preparation of this document as it is not too dissimilar from general plan preparation and updating. The City recently completed its last general plan update in 2010 culminating with the release of the Belvedere 2030 document. Belvedere’s 2030 General plan includes an Environmental Hazards: Safety and Stability Element that includes discussions regarding fire, earthquake, flooding and landslide hazards. Moreover, the City regularly enforces the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which, since 1988, mandates the mitigation of identified natural hazards. In this regards, Belvedere has focused on building on these pre-existing programs, while noting where unintentional gaps in the programs may contribute to the City’s vulnerability from the occurrence of a natural disaster.
