County poised to assign receiver to take control of The Last Resort
The County has filed a lawsuit to appoint a receiver to take control of The Last Resort. The hearing will be on Friday, October 2, 2015 at 9:00am, in front of Hon. Judge Paul M. Haakenson, Marin County Superior Court.
We are so grateful that many of you have already signed the petition and written letters of support. Certainly if you are inspired to write another letter, this would be a good time.

Our attorney, Paul Smith, will be submitting your letters along with the previous petition signed by 1,000 supporters to the judge.
Additionally, Paul will present Adam Posard, an expert architect and builder as my choice for an alternative to the court-appointed receiver. The county’s receiver will likely work to bring the property up to code as quickly as possible, by destruction and removal of all that does not comply to all codes [the entire property?].
Adam, on the other hand, will not be so trigger-happy; he will focus on health and safety, working alongside expert engineers to preserve the artistic integrity of the entire site and its fully functioning zero-waste systems.
Paul Smith will continue to work with the county to find a resolution to reduce their fines and penalties, which now exceed $350,000, back to the original offer of $60,000, which I have already accepted.
This issue is much larger than me losing my home.
At its heart, the solution to the county’s problem is the recognition of the view held by historic experts: that The Last Resort Lagunitas is an important folk art environment. The sanctioning of new, environmentally friendly water recycling systems is also much needed.
Supporting The Last Resort Lagunitas is a small and important step in the direction of a sustainable future.
