Art, athletics at stake in Novato schools tax vote ? Rob Rogers Posted:?05/30/2009 07:46:57 PM PDT Click photo to enlarge Music students rehearse in Jason Eckl s band class at Sinaloa Middle... (IJ photo/Robert Tong) * ? * 1 * 2 * 3 * ?With art and music programs, libraries, smaller classes and even high school sports programs at stake, Novato school officials say it's crucial voters on Tuesday pass a $96 parcel tax extension. "Without it passing, we lose our most important source of local funding," said Debbie Butler, board president of the Novato Unified School District. "The state has failed to provide consistent funding for education. We cannot let education fail." But educators acknowledge they're fighting an uphill battle - urging residents to vote in yet another special election just two weeks after a confusing series of state ballot measures went down in defeat. "I've called people about Novato's Measure A, and they've said 'Measure 1A? I already voted for that,'" said Leslie Benjamin, chairwoman of the nine-member committee that oversees spending on the Novato school district's parcel tax. "I have to make it clear that this is Novato's local parcel tax election on June 2, and that this will be locally controlled money - it won't go to the state after the election is past." Nevertheless, school officials are hopeful that Novato residents will come through for their schools once again. In a December 2008 poll, 85 percent of Novato voters said protecting the quality of local schools was a top priority. No opponent to the measure submitted an argument for publication in the voters pamphlet. "Our community has really stepped up when these budget crises have hit," Butler said. "School Fuel, ________________________________ Advertisement ________________________________ our foundation, year after year has helped fund teaching and staff positions, and they're going to be heading up a telethon on June 5. Our parents have really come on board for Novato Unified, and we can't thank them enough." Marin Registrar of Voters Elaine Ginnold expects as many as half of Novato's voters to turn out for the election. "I think it's going to be at least between 45 and 50 percent," said Ginnold, who has already received 9,180 vote-by-mail ballots for the election. Thirty precincts in Novato will be open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. Measure A, which requires a two-thirds majority to pass, would raise the Novato district's annual parcel tax from $155 to $251, and extend the tax - which is set to expire in 2010 - by another six years. School officials say the $1.7 million the tax is expected to generate each year is desperately needed by a district hit harder than any in Marin by the state's ongoing financial crisis. "The quality of life and property values in Novato are absolutely tied to the health of its community schools," said Ross Millerick, a member of both the school board and the Measure A committee. "We have to separate ourselves from the destiny of the state. By law, this is money that can't leave Novato. The money people are spending on their children's education will stay right here in town." Novato is one of three school districts in Marin that receives the majority of its funding in per-student revenues from the state. Unlike the Ross Valley and San Rafael Elementary districts, which also depend on "revenue limit" funding, Novato operates elementary, middle and high schools, adding to the district's costs. At $8,348 per student, Novato spends less than any other school district in Marin - less than the $9,258 San Rafael spends per student, and far less than Sausalito's $38,376. At $155, Novato's parcel tax is among the lowest in the county, far below the $269 San Rafael residents pay for their two school districts and well below the $992 Kentfield residents pay for their elementary and high school districts each year. In addition, Novato and Bolinas-Stinson are the only school districts whose parcel taxes do not automatically increase each year. Those increases range from 3 percent in the Dixie, Reed and Ross school districts to the Lagunitas School District, where the $287 parcel tax goes up by 6.5 percent every year. The district spends about 25 percent of the money it raises from its parcel tax on school libraries, and another 24 percent on a fund to stabilize programs in jeopardy. Another 13 percent supports smaller class sizes, 10 percent backs performing arts and 8 percent pays for high school counselors. "It keeps the music program in the district, keeps the libraries open and contributes to attracting and retaining teachers," Benjamin said. "It's been expanded a little bit to allow more flexibility for covering programs like our outstanding instructional programs in science and math." School officials say failure of the parcel tax wouldn't necessarily mean that high school sports, libraries, music classes or other programs would be doomed. Nor does passage of the tax extension mean those programs would be saved. Instead, passage of the parcel tax extension allows the school board to use the money it generates to pay for those programs - and only those programs. If the measure does fail, however, school officials said those programs and many others could be on the chopping block as a result of further state cuts. "If the parcel tax does not pass, we have to seriously look at everything," Butler said.

The ECC has received no protests to the election as held and has also received acceptance of the elected positions by the elected North Bay Regional members. Therefore the ECC confirms the election of Lew Tremain as Regional Representative, Larry Bragman as 1st Alternate, and David Quinley as 2nd Alternate. They will serve the our region as representatives to the Green Party of California Coordinating Committee (GPCA CC) for a period of two years effective from June 14, 2009 until June 14, 2011. We request that Mike Wyman, the out going Regional Representative, please provide this announcement to the GPCA CC and that the appropriate email lists and other info be updated. We also request that Lowell Downey and Marnie Glickman (County Council members from Napa and Marin) ensure that the certification of this result is passed to your respective counties. With this notification, our term as ECC members is complete. Tim Morgan for ECC ? North Bay GPSC Note: I?ve provided the meeting minutes. ________________________________ Subject: Notes from Regional meeting and election results Green party of California, North Bay Region ( Napa, Sonoma, Marin counties) Regional Meeting Sunday, June 14 Time: 5-7 pm Rancho Feliz Clubhouse; 6607 Redwood Dr. ; Rohnert Park Notes: Attendees: Tim Morgan, (ECC, Sonoma); Erica Martenson, (CC, Napa); Tim Smith (CC, Sonoma); David Quinley, (CC, Marin); Bob Moore, (CC, Napa); Mike Wyman (Incumbent Regional Representative, from Marin). Meeting roles: By consensus, Mike Wyman selected as Facilitator, Bob Moore as Note-taker, Tim Morgan as Vibes monitor Agendawas reviewed and amended, by consensus to remove the brief review of history of the region and the California Green Party. Election procedureswere reviewed for the group, based on the Regional Bylaws approved in 2008. This included a review of the roles and responsibilities of the regional representative and alternates. Discussion of one area: Tim Smith asked the group to consider the option of provisional ballots being allowed for the regional representative. Meeting attendees all presented their views of this idea, which would require amendment of the bylaws. David Quinley agreed to discuss this with the Marin CC to see if there was any interest in making this change to the Regional Bylaws. Tim Morgan indicated that although he did not favor this, if David would put some proposal forward, Tim would work on it with the Sonoma CC. Per the election procedures, the Green party membership of the attendees was certified by one of the 4 criteria permitted in the bylaws, and the minimum quorum was noted as being met. Nominationsfor the three positions open for election to a two year term were then opened: Regional Representative, Alternate Representative, and Second Alternate Representative. David Quinley had previously submitted his statement and nomination for Second Alternate. He restated his interest and gave a brief statement, answering questions from the group. David then nominated Lou Tremain for Regional Representative and Larry Bragman for Alternate Representative. They are both current elected officials, on the city council of the city of Fairfax. They were both unable to attend, due to the Fairfaxfestival taking place this weekend. Tim Morgan stated that they had expressed interest in running in an email in March through the list-serve, and that Marne Glickman had sent an email indicating that they were interested in being candidates and that the notices of the meeting/duties/ etc. had been sent to all the county lists of which David confirmed that Lew and Larry are on that list. No statements were submitted by the two nominees. David gave some additional information about each nominee: Lou is a environmentalist who is considering running for governor as a Green Party member. Larry is a Lawyer, and former Mayor of Fairfax. David stated that they are both committed to their community and to the values of the Green Party. The group reviewed the bylaws and agreed that absentee candidates were allowed and that the communication above met the minimum criteria for nomination to the Regional Representative and Alternate representative positions. There were no other nominations. Election: The group, by consensus, agreed to vote on the slate of nominees as a group. The group then unanimously voted to elect the three nominees to their respective positions: Lou Tremain: Regional Representative Larry Bragman: Alternate Representative David Quinley: Second alternate Representative For a term of June 14, 2009 to June 14, 2011. The ECC agreed that the election was fair, impartial, timely and in accordance with the North Bay Regional Representative Alternate election procedure (called by shorthand the bylaws elsewhere in these notes), and officially announced the results. The registered greens attending voted unanimously to certify the election. The group made a few recommendations: 1. Since all three representatives are from one county (Marin), they bear a special responsibility to communicate with Napa and Sonoma counties on the activities of the GPCA CC. 2. Tim Smith suggested a memo to Lou and Larry, summarizing their responsibilities and expectations. Bob recommended that the expected summary of the monthly meetings on the List Serve be very concise, as the full notes are available on the state website. Bob also recommended that the current and past Regional Representatives have a teleconference with the new Representatives to give them a history of the region and the GPCA CC and review their responsibilities. Post election procedures: Bob will post these send these notes to the attendees for review and changes, and accept changes for up to 24 hours after the election. The notes and results of the nomination will then be posted to the NorthBay regional Listserv, for the seven day period to allow anyone to contest the election. The ECC will meet in 7 days (Sunday, June 21 at 7pm) to review any statement of concerns and resolve them, according to the bylaws. The ECC will then inform the GPCA CC and the County Councils of the election results. The next required regional meeting for Regional Representative election will be in mid 2011. Mike Wyman thanked the ECC for their service. The group thanked Mike for facilitating and acting as Regional Representative, most recently. The group also thanked Tim Morgan for serving as Regional Representative for much of the past year. Discussion topics: Tim Morgan reviewed the state of a discussion item that the GPCA CC is considering: regarding examining possible changes to the GPCA bylaws regarding the selection and composition of the Coordinating Committee. A committee has been formed to review options, and bring them back to the GA. Members present discussed the implications of the various options being proposed. Tim Morgan announced that the next GPCA plenary will be in Cotati on October 10th and 11th. Adjournment at approximately 6:30pm Submitted by Bob Moore, Note Taker Per bylaws, all documents around this election will be maintained for 12 months after the election.
