Welcome to the Town of Fairfax! Whether you are a long-time or new resident, a visitor, or doing business with our community, we welcome you and hope you will find this website a useful resource.
Smart Meter Update
Fairfax, the County of Marin and others filed the attached Motion to Delay Installation of Smart Meters on April 30, 2012. Certificate of Service
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.
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.
