Music Together® ....New Class!
Nurture your child’s inner musician! Bring your newborn,
toddler or preschooler to our fun-filled music and movement classes. Music Together provides a rich family
music experience, with classic children’s songs as well
as songs from other cultures in different modes and
time signatures. Mixed-age classes are wonderful for
siblings attending with parents, grandparents, nannies
and caregivers. Our classes are 45 minutes of immersion in the language of music, including songs, rhymes,
chants, movement, percussion and instrument play. You
will find a community of families with young children who
value this weekly time to bond and play and be silly with
their children. All children (and adults!) can learn to sing
and dance and be joyful music-makers. Our classes are
research-based, developmentally appropriate, relaxed,
playful and process-oriented, and genuinely fun for children and adults!
Our structure is based on the idea that all children can
gain Basic Music Competence, meaning that we all are
born with the potential to sing in tune and move our
bodies to the beat. We aim to help children become (at
minimum) comfortable music makers for every day life,
just for the joy of music. But Basic Music Competence is
also the foundation anyone needs to be ready for formal
instruction on an instrument. So whatever your musical
hopes are for your child, this is a good place to start. (Of
course, music instruction is very beneficial to children’s
overall social and cognitive development, too!)
Each semester’s tuition includes 10 classes, a Musical
Development growth chart, parent guide DVD and the
current semester’s song collection book and CDs for use
at home.

Zumba® .....NEW!
Founded in 2001, Zumba Fitness is a global lifestyle
brand that fuses fitness, entertainment and culture into
an exhilarating dance-fitness sensation! Zumba® exercise classes are “fitness-parties” that blend upbeat world
rhythms with easy-to-follow choreography, for a totalbody workout that feels like a celebration.
About the instructor: My grandmother always referred to me as
a “gypsy.” Cali-born, but Brazil, Africa, and New Mexico are all places I
have been blessed enough to call my other homes. As a recently certified instructor, I’ve been passionate about dance my entire life - Salsa,
Samba, Afro-Brazilian, Capoeira, Hip Hop, South African House . . .
the list goes on. If you’ve never tried Zumba, now is the time to start.
No previous experience is necessary. The only goal is to have a blast
while getting a great workout! The more you come, the easier and more
enjoyable it gets (as you familiarize with the choreography). Smiling and
sweating are the ultimate goals! If you have any questions, please don’t
hesitate to contact me: 415-306-2683 or christine.o.costello@gmail.com

COMMUNITY MEETINGS
The Marinwood Community Services District (CSD) was formed
in 1960 to provide street lighting, fire protection, and park and recreation services for our area. The CSD is governed by an elected
five-member Board of Directors. The Board has established two
advisory Commissions (Fire and Parks & Recreation) to oversee
the routine operations of the District and to make recommendations regarding policies and budgetary matters. The District Manager and Department Heads carry out the day-to-day functions of
the District as directed by the Board. The Board & Commission
agendas can be found at the Community Center.
The Marinwood Review is comes out three times a year (Winter,
Spriing/Summer, and Fall) and provides information on community
meetings, events, programs and other information of interest to
the community. Comments or suggestions regarding the publication should be directoed the csd@marinwood.org.

A Message To The Community About Retiree Health Care Costs
The Marin County Grand Jury released a report in June that examined the projected health care costs for
retired public employees in Marin. Your Marinwood CSD Board and Staff greatly appreciate the Grand Jury’s
effort to both make the public aware of the unfunded liabilities associated with retiree health care and their
effort to be pro-active in their recommendations to address the situation. The report and the response of the
Marinwood CSD can be found online at http://www.marincounty.org/depts/gj/reports-and-responses - Marin's
Retirement Health Care Benefits: The Money Isn't There.
However, when it came to Marinwood CSD, the report contained some avoidable errors. Marinwood’s
response can also be found online at marinwood.org. You are encouraged to read both the Grand Jury report
and the District’s response. The Marinwood CSD Board of Directors has been aware of the liability for retiree
health care for some time, and it is in agreement with the basic conclusion of the report, that local governments
must provide now for future retiree benefits.
Nevertheless, the Board took particular exception to the way in which the District was singled out as being
unique in having eligibility for retirement and full lifetime benefits at age fifty, with five years of service, and for
being under Social Security in addition to CalPERS retirement. Eligibility for retirement at 50 with a minimum
of 5 years’ service is a basic tenet of CalPERS (Article 1, Chapter 12 of the Public Employees’ Retirement
Law) and it is the case for all of the many agencies in the County which participate in CalPERS. In addition,
local governments that participate in CalPERS have not been able to opt out of Social Security since 1983.
The Grand Jury report also stated that each Marinwood household would be responsible over the next 27
years for a total of $2720, or about $100 per year in unfunded retiree health care costs. The total amount was
overstated by approximately $420. Using the Grand Jury’s method of calculation the per household amount
in Marinwood should be $2300. The Grand Jury neglected to consider the contribution Upper Lucas Valley
(County Service Area 13) has made for nearly 50 years to our fire department. They are responsible for 26%
of the fire department retiree healthcare liability.
The Board has taken steps to address the short and long term effects of our rising health care costs.
When the CSD was started in 1960, we asked all employees to pay 5% of their health care cost. The board
has now determined that both current and retired employees will contribute more to their health care cost.
Starting in 2012 all employees began to contribute 10% of their health care costs with that percentage rising to
15% in 2013 and 20% in 2014 for firefighters.
The backbone of our local government is our employees. Individually and collectively they are very highly
valued members of our community. To the extent the District is financially able to provide good wages, health
benefits, and a retirement commensurate with their years of service, we will do so. The District, mindful of the
need to balance our budget within the boundaries of the generous tax dollars we receive, is structuring its new
contracts to include shared costs as we continue to navigate through tough economic times.
It is the rapidly rising cost of health insurance that should be of greater concern. In 1998 the cost to the
District of a family health care policy was $378 per month. Today that same policy costs the District $1,508
per month, an increase of $1,130 or 238%. During this same time period the district’s property tax receipts
increased 75%. We are losing ground. Health care costs currently are 7.6% of the district’s budget. According to the report provided by our actuaries the cost of a family health care plan is projected to grow 320% to
$7,300 per month in 27 years if the trend is not stopped or reversed. We face a national crisis not just a local
crisis.
