Administration
A Message from the Town Manager, Michael Rock
Welcome to the official web site for the Town of Fairfax!
We have just redesigned the site to include much more information and have changed some of the design to make it more convenient and easy to access. Please let us know what you think of the new design and what you would like to see on the web page by sending us an email.
It is a pleasure and an honor to serve as your Town Manager. Since beginning this job in January 2008, I have been so impressed with the friendliness and community pride of our residents, and the professionalism of the Town employees.
In the midst of an economic downturn, Fairfax is holding as steady as possible among Marin cities on sales and property tax revenue. We have made some structural changes to the budget (reduction in retirement benefits to existing and newly hired staff) and will continue to do so that the Town will be sustainable for many years to come.
Please let me know if you have any comments, questions or concerns on any matters facing the Town of Fairfax by emailing us your suggestions. Including your name is optional but appreciated.
Measure I
Thank you to all residents who voted in favor of Measure I, renewing our Municipal Services Tax. I know this was not an easy decision, given the economic times, and I deeply appreciate the overwhelming support for Measure I and the public's willingness to continue to fund essential services. I would also like to thank the Measure I Committee, and all the public safety employees who, on their own personal time, walked the neighborhoods to campaign for Measure I.
