Town Manager Adam Wolf presented a midyear update on the Corte Madera 2025 staff work plan on Sept. 2, reporting progress across the majority of items and identifying two new items: strategies to address parking availability in Old Corte Madera Square and a preliminary economic development strategy to guide 2026 planning.

Wolf said staff began with 55 work plan items approved in February and that many projects are “in process,” with some nearing completion. He said the Old Corte Madera Square parking issue has arisen as a byproduct of successful pilot programs and increased activity, and staff will consider options such as adjusted hours, signage and outreach with business owners.

Wolf said the economic development item is primarily preparatory: staff will scope options for a consultant and consider urban‑design and place‑making approaches, vacancy strategies and how to support small business and sales tax resilience. The item is intended to inform the next work plan cycle in 2026.

Council members asked about staff housing and whether the town could leverage incoming multi‑unit private projects to make units available to town employees; staff and the town attorney said the town will continue to research options and that small numbers of units for local staff generally do not fit the scale of most developer negotiations but staff will pursue opportunities with Marin Housing and other partners.

The midyear report also noted a swap among sewer design projects in the work plan and that staff will continue to provide status updates. No council vote was required; the item was received and discussed.
