An inland Marin town with a resort past. The Town’s About page locates Fairfax about 3.25 miles west-northwest of San Rafael and describes a 2.1-square-mile area, all land. Its account of local soils emphasizes uplands formed from sandstone and shale, including steep slopes—a different physical setting from the shoreline communities of southern Marin. The Town’s police-history account recalls Fairfax as a resort community before its evolution toward a residential, family-oriented town with an entertainment tradition. This history gives context to a civic life in which downtown activity and residential needs have long existed together. Local institutions before incorporation. Fairfax’s police history dates the appointment of its first chief, Andy Peri, to 1925, when state law allowed counties to appoint chiefs for unincorporated places. The account places incorporation in the early 1930s, after local policing was already established. The same history traces Prohibition-era resort activity and the rock-concert era of the 1960s, showing how local institutions adapted as the town changed. An at-large council and a professional manager. Fairfax’s five Town Council members are elected at large for four-year terms. Elections alternate between three seats and two seats every two years. Council members choose the mayor and vice mayor from among themselves each December for one-year terms. Under the Council–Town Manager form of government, the Council adopts policy, ordinances, land-use regulations and operating and capital budgets. It appoints the Town Manager and Town Attorney, as well as members of boards, commissions and advisory committees. The Council page provides agendas, packets, minutes and videos for following this work. The Clerk’s office and the county connection. The Town Clerk administers local elections, provides access to Town records and supports transparency for legislative actions. The office serves as clerk to the Town Council, official record keeper, elections official, political reform filing officer and custodian of the Town seal. Town Hall is at 142 Bolinas Road. A Fairfax council candidacy belongs with that municipal elections function. Marin County Elections provides the wider voter-registration connection, and its candidate-status page explains that municipal clerks report their candidates while the County verifies signatures for city and town contests.
