Supervisor Katie Rice 

June 23, 2020 Update

Sending you updates for recent Marin Recovers reopenings, new guidelines for our personal interaction with others, and importantly the opportunity to participate in several upcoming meetings to weigh in on the potential renaming of Sir Francis Drake and the Corte Madera Creek Flood Risk Management Project. I hope that many of you will choose to participate.

Katie Rice Signature

Introduction of Social Bubble Concept

Marin has adopted the “Social Bubble” concept recognizing that -- after 100 days in the Shelter In Place environment -- individuals have a strong desire to socialize in-person with neighbors, extended family and friends. A social bubble is a stable group of 12 people or less who have collectively agreed to limit their in-person social activities to only each other for at least three weeks. Individuals belong to only one social bubble at a time, except for children who may belong to a second bubble related to a childcare or camp environment. The social bubble model provides guidelines to safely reconnect while COVID-19 continues to exist in our community. To learn more, view the flyer and the video “Why Social Bubbles?”

Additional Reopening Guidelines Beginning June 29

On June 19, Marin Recovers Industry Advisors provided new guidelines and the “green light” for businesses within additional sectors to begin plans to reopen, beginning June 29 – Indoor dining, hair salons/barber shops, nail salons, hotels/motels/short term rentals, gyms/fitness studios. Businesses in these areas must complete a site-specific protection plan that incorporates the new guidelines before reopening their business. The new business guidelines can be accessed at MarinRecovers.com and are located below the “Reopening Guidelines” header on each of the sector pages. Learn more by reading the recent press release.  

Sir Francis Drake Boulevard Listening Session this Friday

Supervisors Katie Rice (District 2) and Dennis Rodoni (District 4) will be convening a cross jurisdictional committee to hold a community listening session this Friday to hear from residents about the potential renaming of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. The committee will be comprised of council representatives from each of the city/towns through which Sir Francis Drake Blvd runs, as well as Supervisors Rice and Rodoni who represent unincorporated areas along the SFD corridor. The virtual listening session will be held this Friday, June 26, from 3-5pm and will serve as an initial step in gauging community interest in renaming the Boulevard. No decisions will be made at the meeting, but input is welcome and appreciated as further action is considered.

Community members are welcome to participate in Friday’s zoom session or you can email your comments to krice@marincounty.org and drodoni@marincounty.org (please put SFD in subject of email and identify your city or town). Emails will be shared with other members of the cross jurisdictional committee. If you have already communicated with our offices on this issue, please know we have your email and will also share with the committee.
