City Council Reorganization
 The July City Council Meeting marks the time where the City Council considers rotation of its leadership - Mayor and Vice Mayor. The Council elects from its membership, a Mayor and Vice Mayor to lead the Council through the next fiscal year.
Come and join the meeting to congratulate those who have served the past year and welcome those serving the next! The July meeting is scheduled for July 11 at 7:30 pm.
Serving as a Council Member for the City of Belvedere, one has the opportunity to help shape broad policy issues as they affect the community. Council Members deal with everything from refuse rates, affordable housing, and climate change to emergency preparedness, budgets, and local land use. It's an eclectic range of policy issues that affect everything from the day to day of today to the day to day of 20 years from now - all the while balancing State mandates, community vision, and resident priorities.
This community has a balanced budget, an engaged citizenry, a good sense of vision, and a clear path to get there. Come let them know they are doing well.
Sincerely,
George Rodericks
City Manager

Coyote Sightings in Belvedere
 Recently, coyotes have been sighted along the
Lagoon and up on Belvedere Island. Last week, a coyote was spotted near
the 270 block of Belvedere Avenue. As you walk throughout the
community with pets off leash, please be aware that they may encounter a
coyote.
The Humane Society is helping track coyote sightings in the community
and provides more information about living with wildlife on their
website. If you spot sick, injured, dead or rabies-suspect wildlife,
please call (415) 883-4621 to report wildlife in distress.
In an area where coyotes are known to persist, here are a few tips:
1) Do not feed the coyotes.
2) Walk pets on leash. During the spring and early summer, pups are in
dens and coyote parents may try to deter you and your pet.
3) Always supervise small pets and small children; cats should be kept inside.
4) Secure garbage, compost, and pet foods.
5) Just like deer, "haze" coyotes near homes and community spaces. Act BIG and LOUD - reinforce the fear of humans.
6) Talk to your neighbors about using similar tactics.

MMWD Project To Replace Aging Sections of Pipeline in Belvedere & Tiburon
 The Marin Municipal Water District has begun replacing 2,880 feet, or just over a half mile of pipe total, in Belvedere and Tiburon to eliminate old pipes prone to leaking. In Belvedere, MMWD will replace 4-inch cast iron pipe installed in 1936 with 6-inch welded steel pipe on Toyon Avenue. MMWD also will replace 2-inch galvanized threaded pipe dating back to 1906 on Belvedere Avenue due to a history of leaks. In Tiburon, MMWD will replace 8-inch cast iron pipe placed in 1939 with 12-inch welded steel pipe on Trestle Glen Boulevard in coordination with the town's street overlay plans.
The MMWD Board of Directors awarded a contract to W. R. Forde Associates of Richmond. Construction is expected to be completed by early August. Both the contractor and MMWD will make every effort to minimize traffic disruptions during construction. For more information about this project, please contact Dick Paulson at (415) 945-1569 or dpaulson@marinwater.org.
