Fairfax Open Space Panel to Tackle Land Deal, Measure A Fallout, and Leadership Change
The Fairfax Open Space Committee's September 22 agenda is stacked with substance for a body that usually deals in stewardship reports. Topping the list is an update on the Sky Ranch Knoll acquisition, a 7-acre parcel the committee has been pursuing, though the agenda gives no financial terms or timeline for closing the deal.
Also on the table: fallout from the Marin County Grand Jury's recommendations on Measure A, the open-space funding measure, with committee member Joe Franaszek leading a discussion of how Fairfax should respond. The agenda doesn't preview what the Grand Jury found or what response, if any, the committee will recommend to the Town.
Stewardship work continues at the Wall property, the town's open space preserve, where members will hear updates on new signage and monitoring efforts. And in a housekeeping shake-up, current chair Susan Pascal Beran has put forward a proposal for a new committee chair — no successor is named in the agenda — while members will separately consider dissolving the committee's Bio-Diversity Subcommittee.
Nothing here is a final vote; this is a discussion-and-updates agenda, so expect more detail once the committee actually meets and decisions get made.
