Park Acquisition Corporation

The PAC is a nonprofit corporation that officially represents Marin Valley (Marin Valley Mobile Country Club — MVMCC) residents in business and management decisions with the Park owner (the City of Novato) and Park Management. The PAC has two primary contractual obligations. One is a Delegation Agreement with the City of Novato that requires the PAC to perform specific functions that would otherwise fall to the City as owner. The other is to contract with a professional management company for the day-to-day Park operations.

The PAC has a five-member resident board with staggered two-year terms and a formal, Park-wide election each May for terms that begin in June. Therefore as the only Park organization with this comprehensive selection process, and because of its contractual agreements with the City of Novato, the PAC Board is recognized by the owner as the official representative of Park residents. Because of this, the PAC Board also assumes the important noncontractual responsibility of representing the Park residents’ interests back to the owner.

Monthly Meetings

The PAC Board meets the first Monday of each month at 5 p.m. either on Zoom or in the ballroom with Zoom, except for June, when it meets the first Saturday at 11 a.m. for the annual PAC meeting, or when announced otherwise. The agenda for PAC meetings is posted in the clubhouse on the PAC bulletin board before the meeting and will be emailed to any resident who requests to be placed on the email list to receive it along with the minutes of previous meetings. Contact Carol-Joy Harris at caroljoyharris@comcast.net. The agenda is also posted on the events listings on the home page of this website after it is published.

 2 x 2 Meetings

As of June 2023, the 2 x 2 meetings are currently on hiatus. In the recent past two members of the PAC Board met with two members of the Novato City Staff. These are known as 2x2s. Resident concerns and information the staff wished to be conveyed to the residents were discussed. Presently, an ad-hoc committee consisting of President John Hansen and Vice President Jay Shelfer periodically meets with two city council members to discuss the future of Marin Vally.
