7.
• Measure A budget complements budgets for Parks,
Open Space, Landscape Services, Integrated Pest
Management, and CSAs
• Department’s approach to Measure A funding
o All functional area expenditures
o Measure A has its own budget, to facilitate tracking of
expenditures and reporting to the Community Oversight
Committee and the public.
o Measure A funding is for projects and service enhancements
beyond the capacity of existing staff and financial
resources. However, certain work can be justifiably funded
by either Measure A or a different budget.
B U D G E T D E V E L O P M E N T P R O C E S S
8.
• Department’s approach to Measure A funding (cont.)
o New staff positions funded by Measure A are fixed term
positions, as the tax will expire in 7 years.
o In general, few projects requested by CSAs are funded,
except for urgent, minor repairs that cannot be funded by
the CSA’s own budget. Replacement or major renovation of
CSA capital facilitieswill have to be funded by a substantial
match from CSA budgets or other sources.
o Leveraging Measure A funds with grants is a high priority,
especially for capital projects.
o In FY 2015-16, majority of Measure A funds used to renovate,
maintain, and replace deteriorating infrastructure and
facilities in parks. Open Space budget is funding the majority
of vegetation management and road and trail
management projects in FY 2015-16.

REAL PROPERTY ADMINISTRATION: $100,000
Location Project or Purpose Notes
Multiple Encroachment resolution Initiative
To fund expenses associated with resolution of encroachments, including surveys, title searches, and appraisals
• Parks budget follows a process prescribed by the
County Administrator (CAO) for most county
departments, as the Parks and Landscape Services
divisions are funded by the county General Fund.
• Baseline budget is established and changes can be
made only with approval of CAO through “budget
change proposals” (BCPs) and “unforeseen budget
requests”
• Marin County Parks has much more control over the
Open Space and Measure A budgets, and follows a
“zero based budgeting” approach.
