At the request of Supervisor Adams, the Board will consider adopting resolutions recognizing the 40th anniversary of the Marin Community Clinics as well as honorees of this organization’s Summer Solstice 2012 celebration.

This year, honorees include Kevin Harrington, M.D., and Bobbie Wunsch, M.B.A.

6. Board Honors World Oceans Day

7. Earthquake Insurance Affordability Act Supported
At the request of Supervisor Kinsey, the Board issued a support letter for HR 3125 and S 637, Congressman Campbell’s and Senator Feinstein’s legislation that would lower costs for Californians purchasing earthquake insurance by allowing the federal government to guarantee bonds issued by the California Earthquake Authority (CEA). This would save an estimated $100 million annually.
