Marin City Council appoints economic development director; approves two routine items
Summary
At a June 4 workshop the council appointed Robert E. Jones as economic development director by voice vote and approved a special-event permit and a lease renewal with no substantive discussion.
Marin City Council appointed Robert E. Jones as the city's economic development director at its June 4 workshop and approved two other routine items by voice vote.
The appointment came after the council reviewed resumes and interviews for the position. Council discussed that the recruitment drew multiple applicants and said Jones had experience with Main Street-type programs and community engagement. The council set Jones's starting salary at $58,001.54; the appointment was made by a council member motion, seconded by another council member, and approved by voice vote.
Why this matters: The economic development director post will coordinate Main Street and similar efforts, act as a staff point for grants and business outreach, and serve as a staff liaison for events and downtown initiatives.
Additional actions the council approved at the workshop with no extended discussion included a special-event permit for the Good News Club at Roth Avenue Park for July 7'025 through July 11'025 and a lease renewal with Catholic Charities. Both items were advanced at the workshop stage and will appear on the council's Monday meeting consent agenda for final adoption.
The council also noted several items for upcoming meetings, including a Memorial Drive waterline design presentation by consultant CDM Smith and a June 18 public hearing on the fiscal-year 2025-26 budget.
