West Marin fire stations will receive an injection of money as a result of a county debt refinancing and restructuring plan that is estimated to generate between $28 and $32 million in additional bond proceeds. While much of the money—the county has not yet tallied an exact amount—will go toward a new roof for the Marin County Civic Center, a portion will be allocated to renovating and replacing several fire stations and expanding the Health and Human Services office in Point Reyes Station. Fire Chief Jason Weber said the Point Reyes Station building, which also houses a substation for the Marin County Sheriff’s Office, will undergo major earthquake retrofitting; the Hicks Valley and Tomales stations will likely be torn down entirely and replaced. “We’re looking at all the options we have for these facilities,” Chief Weber said. “Unfortunately, these fire stations are expensive.” A decade ago, the county fire department developed a plan that identified $60 million in needed improvements for existing facilities. Many fire stations, including in Hicks Valley and Tomales, were built a half-century ago during an era when fewer firefighters were needed to respond to the needs of fewer people. As a result, the stations are physically too small to handle present-day demands, Chief Weber said. A county contractor is also drafting a design for an addition to the West Marin Health and Human Services offices in Point Reyes Station. The center has witnessed increased workloads due to the Affordable Care Act and outreach for mental-health and substance-abuse clients. The agency hopes to hold a community meeting on the design in early June, after the architect has drafted plans. “We are really undersized as a facility,” said Paula Glodowski, the center’s manager. “We want to make sure we have enough capacity.” After cutting over $30 million and 200 employees from 2008 to 2013, Marin has approved a budget in good enough financial standing that no services will be cut this year, according to county administrator Matthew Hymel. The county’s unfunded pension liabilities remain a concern, however, as was elaborated in a civil grand jury report released this month that alleged the Board of Supervisors violated state law by “failing to make the pension increases public through a ‘regularly scheduled meeting’ of the board.” (At recent budget meetings, Mr. Hymel said the county has been spending down its pension liabilities since 2013, and Supervisor Steve Kinsey noted that the liabilities would not have any effect on services provided to West Marin.) Hearings on the formal approval of the 2015-16 county budget will be held in June.
