Mill Valley City Council met Sept. 15, 2025. Council recognized local artists and longtime volunteers, heard a multi‑agency emergency‑preparedness briefing (including wildfire evacuation modeling and a review of the April evacuation drill), approved a pilot lease‑to‑locals housing program (Placemate) on the consent calendar, and directed staff to upgrade downtown parking equipment and rollout text‑to‑pay and kiosk options.
