SD2 board continues consideration of Marin LAFCo consolidation feasibility study
Summary
The Sanitary District No. 2 board discussed a Marin LAFCo‑led consolidation feasibility study and an estimated SD2 share of about $40,000; board members expressed caution and directed staff to continue the item to the next meeting for further review.
SD2 staff reported on a proposed Marin LAFCo consolidation feasibility study examining options to consolidate local sewer agencies. Director Chris Goode said the draft cost‑sharing agreement would assign SD2 roughly 20% of the study cost (estimated at $40,000), and explained the study would assess existing conditions, model business cases and produce a feasibility study before any implementation.
Board members debated timing, potential local fiscal impacts and the strategic merits of engaging in the study versus watching outcomes in neighboring agencies. Several board members expressed preference to wait and observe Ross Valley and San Rafael actions; others argued for participation to preserve a voice in scoping and to avoid losing influence on outcome. The board directed staff to continue the matter to the next meeting for additional consideration and confirmation of timeline and RFP process details.
