Marin City - Sausalito Tunnel Art Project: All Our Children United Resolution The Marin County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution in support of "The Marin City - Sausalito Tunnel Art Project: All Our Children United," connecting the Marin City and Sausalito communities through art and delegating authority to the Director of Public Works to enter into agreements with the community group Performing Stars and CalTrans in connection with the mural. The intention of this project is to create an artwork which expresses unity between two neighboring communities, Marin City and Sausalito. The 144’ x 11’ interior of the Highway 101 underpass will be power-washed, primed and painted in color blocks simulating sunrise to sunset in the color spectrum. Stenciled hands created by Artist Raylene Gorum will grow in size as they are applied up the wall. I hope you enjoy this video from our June 14, 2022 Kickoff Party |

Marin Supervisors Approve FY 2022-2024 Budget This week the Board of Supervisors approved the 2022-24 County Budget. In addition to the usual revenue sources, the infusion of one-time federal American Rescue Plan Act (APRA) dollars will enable the county to make progress on a number of critical programs and projects. I’m excited about the work we will be doing in the next two years. I am particularly gratified for funding allocated to the priority areas for District 3 that I have identified and advocated for during the past year, and for Countywide issues as well. These priorities include: Preserving and Increasing Affordable Housing and Addressing Homelessness Building a Racially Equitable Community Reducing Carbon Emissions and Adapting to Climate Change Enhancing Disaster Preparedness Investing in County Infrastructure Other notable one-time investments include: Other ongoing General Fund service enhancements for high priority needs include: |
