Memorial Park athletic courts get a 60% design check-in

The Town Council will review the Memorial Park Athletic Courts Improvement Project at 60% design on Tuesday, with staff asking for direction before the plans move further along.

Staff has determined the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, which covers minor alterations to existing facilities — meaning no full environmental study is planned for the courts work.

The agenda doesn't spell out court types, layout, or cost; whatever direction the council gives Tuesday will shape what comes back for final design.

Council to weigh in on grand jury's critical report on MCE governance

Tuesday's agenda includes a proposed Marin Clean Energy Grand Jury Response Letter, which would authorize the mayor to sign San Anselmo's reply to a Marin County Civil Grand Jury report titled 'MCE, Marin Clean Energy: A Series of Missteps Highlight Need for Governance Changes.'

The agenda doesn't detail what the town's response says — only that staff recommends authorizing the signature and that the item is not subject to CEQA review.

MCE is the regional public power agency San Anselmo and several other Marin cities joined for clean-energy purchasing; the grand jury's governance findings could shape how member towns oversee the agency going forward.
