The Board will hear a request from the Department of Public Works to approve an additional one-month rent relief for all County aviation business leases, ground leases and County hangar leases at the Gnoss Field Airport, related to the extended runway closure associated with the runway reconstruction project. Unforseen challenges with the construction project created a delay in the project, causing financial hardship on businesses. The Board approved one-month rent relief in September and November, and with this request more rent relief would be applied to the March rents for all tenants in good standing. No County General Funds are used at the airport.
Review
The Board approved the rent relief.

No earlier than 10:30 a.m., the Board will conduct a hearing to consider a resolution establishing fees for the processing of medicinal cannabis delivery-only retailer applications and licenses. The Supervisors unanimously approved a delivery-only medicinal cannabis licensing ordinance in November 2017. Approval of a fee schedule is one of the early steps in allowing up to four such delivery-only businesses to operate the unincorporated areas of the County starting later this year. CDA proposes a fee of $125 for retailer applicant prescreening and $3,000 for applicant review. If a qualified applicant is among the four chosen for tentative approval by County staff, there would be a $7,000 fee for full site review.
Review
The Board conducted the hearing and adopted the resolution.

No earlier than 2:30 p.m., the Board will conduct the first reading of an ordinance regarding the posting of signs identifying short-term rentals, payment of taxes and business licenses. If approved following a merit hearing, the ordinance would require the posting of a small sign within eyesight of the street and information about the payment of taxes, business licenses, and contact information for the owner or property manager. The proposed changes would be enacted for a one-year pilot period and only affect short-term rental properties in the unincorporated parts of Marin. Staff recommends that the Board schedule a merit hearing for 1:30 p.m. March 13.
