County Services Closer to Home: West Marin Pop-Up
Marin County government is rolling out a monthly pop-up service to help West Marin residents navigate county operations. The event happens on the second Wednesday of each month and offers in-person help with building permits, community planning, road closures, public safety, and emergency response plans.
Residents from Point Reyes Station, Olema, Marshall, and Bolinas can stop by and talk with staff who’ll break down county processes into real-world steps. In March, the session runs from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the West Marin Health and Human Services Center in Point Reyes Station.
County staff will be available for one-on-one conversations. It’s a chance to discuss specific issues with representatives from several departments.
District 4 Supervisor Dennis Rodoni, who represents West Marin, says meeting residents where they are is key. He points out the area’s unique needs and tight-knit communities, and thinks these events give people a comfortable spot to ask questions and work toward solutions.
What to Expect at the March Session
- One-on-one sessions with staff from the County Development Agency, Department of Public Works, District Attorney’s Office, Public Defender’s Office, and Probation Department.
- Guidance on services for building permits, community planning, road closures, public safety planning, and emergency prep.
- Locations and access at the West Marin Health and Human Services Center in Point Reyes Station, with staff ready to turn county procedures into practical steps.
- What to bring like maps, project plans, permits in progress, and a list of questions to make the most of your visit.
- Community connection chances to meet neighbors from Inverness, Stinson Beach, and Nicasio who face similar local issues.
April 11: Job Resources for West Marin
The April pop-up will shift the focus to job resources across different sectors. This session runs from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Dance Palace Community Center in Point Reyes Station.
It’s meant to keep county services and resources within easy reach for West Marin residents, especially after work hours. The event will highlight employment opportunities, workforce development programs, and links to local employers serving communities from Marshall to Tomales.
Organizers hope that by hosting job resources in a familiar spot, they’ll reach people juggling seasonal work and family life around Olema and the marshlands near Chautauqua Beach. With the Dance Palace as a backdrop, staff look forward to conversations about resumes, training, apprenticeships, and the path to steady jobs for folks who keep West Marin’s towns and rural neighborhoods running.
April 11: Job Resources at the Dance Palace
- Career services on-site include resume review, interview coaching, and job-search strategy sessions with county staff and partner organizations.
- Connections to employers in public safety, environmental services, healthcare, and trades. These groups often recruit in West Marin.
- Workshops and resources showcase local training programs, apprenticeship opportunities, and pathways to credentials that Marin County employers value.
- Local access to county representatives who actually get the unique scheduling and transportation challenges in Point Reyes Station, Stinson Beach, and Marshall.
- Support for job-seekers whether you’re applying for the first time or returning to work after some time away.
The County Services Closer to Home pop-up series feels more like a living room meeting than a formal government event. By bringing county workers into familiar spaces like the West Marin Health and Human Services Center and the Dance Palace, Marin County tries to bridge the gap between government and residents.
They want to make information clearer and give people in and around Point Reyes Station more say in shaping their futures. As April rolls in, folks from Inverness to Bolinas get a regular spot to ask questions and connect with local solutions.
