Announcing Camp Fairfax 2012!
 Come join us for fun in your own backyard! We are happy to announce our summer camp happening July 23rd - August 17th for ages 5-10. This affordable and local "back to basics" camp runs from 10am - 4pm for $185 per week (with additional extended AM and PM care options). Campers meet at the Community Center each morning and we plan our day from there. We will have a strong emphasis on sustainability and nature. Weekly field trips, recycled art projects, water fun and more! To learn more please go to our website at www.fairfaxfocas.com.
Smart Meter Update
On May 16, 2012, the Town Council introduced an ordinance to continue the moratorium on the installation of Smart Meters in Fairfax. A second reading and adoption of this ordinance is scheduled for the Thursday, May 24th agenda.
On May 2, 2012, the Fairfax Town Council adopted, by unanimous vote, a resolution in support of the CPUC allowing an entire community to opt-out from the installation of SmartMeters.
On April 30, 2012, Fairfax, the County of Marin and others filed a Motion to Delay Installation of Smart Meters. Certificate of Service
When the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has a second hearing on SmartMeters, date yet to be set, and determines whether or not an entire community can “opt-out,” there will be an update here. For more SmartMeter information click here.
Vacancy for Fairfax Representative to the Marin Commission on Aging
The Marin Commission on Aging is part of the County’s Health and Human Services Department. Each Town and City has one representative to the Commission. Due to a resignation, we are looking for someone who is willing to serve in this capacity to serve a full three-year term beginning July first. Applicants must be residents of Fairfax. The Commission is seeking “members who reflect the geographic, racial, economic and social complexion” of Fairfax. The Commission has strongly encouraged us to consider a representative from a low-income, minority and/or disabled person when making this appointment as they are trying to increase the diversity of the Commission. A majority of the persons who currently serve are 60 years of age or older. Please complete an application if you are interested and submit it to the Town Clerk.
