A Look Ahead: Marin County’s Fiscal Future and Development Landscape
This session matters for residents all across Marin County, from the hills of West Marin to the lively coastal towns. The Board’s tackling issues that touch everything—public services, neighborhoods, you name it.
If you live in Novato, Mill Valley, or anywhere in between, these decisions could hit close to home.
The All-Funds Budget: Investing in Marin’s Future
Monday at 9 a.m., the spotlight lands on the public hearing for the 2026–28 all-funds budget. The proposal lays out a hefty $902.6 million in spending for 2026–27.
That’s a 4.2% jump from last year. The county’s signaling it’s serious about expanding and maintaining vital services.
After the budget presentation, the public gets a chance to weigh in. The Board might adopt the budget right then, or keep the conversation going on Wednesday.
Transforming Strawberry: A Bold Vision for the Former Seminary Site
Tuesday’s meeting brings another big topic—a major development project that could remake a big chunk of unincorporated Strawberry. This project means real investment and change for the area, with new housing and amenities in the works.
People in Sausalito and Tiburon, especially, have a stake in what happens next.
A New Chapter for the Golden Gate Theological Seminary Property
The old Golden Gate Theological Seminary at 201 Seminary Drive is up for a complete overhaul by North Coast Land Holdings. They’re planning to swap out the aging buildings for a lively new community.
The plan calls for 337 mixed housing units, aiming to serve a range of needs. There will also be senior care and childcare facilities to support local families.
They’re not stopping there. The project keeps educational uses in the mix, so learning stays part of the community fabric.
North Coast Land Holdings says they’ll preserve about 70% of the property as open or recreational space. That’s a big win for folks from Belvedere to Corte Madera—everyone needs places to relax and get outside.
The Board will dig into a full review: community plan amendment, master plan approval, design review, and the big one—the Environmental Impact Report. They want to make sure this fits Marin’s vision for sustainable growth.
Enhancing Public Access and Preparedness Across Marin County
The Board also plans to tackle policy changes to boost public engagement and strengthen the county’s resilience. They’re aiming for more responsive governance and safer communities, whether you’re in Marin’s farmland or its busier cities.
Ensuring Accessible Governance and a Resilient Marin
The Board is looking at a policy that tackles disruptions to remote public access during meetings. With digital tools now a big part of local government, this move feels overdue.
They’re aiming to comply with a new state law that kicks in July 1. The idea is to make sure everyone—from Larkspur to Novato—gets a fair shot at participating, no matter where they are.
Also on the agenda: an updated countywide Emergency Operations Plan. This plan focuses on getting all parts of Marin County working together when emergencies hit.
There’s a real push to reach historically underserved communities this time. Equity in disaster response isn’t just a buzzword here; it’s getting real attention.
Both meetings start at 9 a.m. Tuesday’s session opens with a Juneteenth resolution—a nice nod to the day’s importance.
People can join in person or online at the Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael. It’s a solid chance for the public to weigh in on issues that matter across Marin.
