FIRE ON BOARD
NASA will deliberately set a fire inside the trashpacked Cygnus cargo ship, once it leaves the
space station in May and is a safe distance away.
Researchers want to understand how a fire
spreads in weightlessness how fast and how
big does it get? The goal is to improve fire safety
on future spacecraft. An electrical igniter will be
used to light a yard-long cotton-fiberglass sheet
inside a box. The burn should last 15 to 20
minutes, with a pair of cameras recording the
flames and sensors making measurements. A
week or so later, the capsule will burn up as
planned over the Pacific.The test is called Saffire,

Guest
perspective
cials and city staff is invaluable.
As mayor and a member of our council, it has been my personal policy we
need to be proactive in our efforts to
address the issues that concern our
community in real time. I am proud to
say our staff is diligent and responsive in creating solutions that get us
to yes. This is a sharp departure from
bureaucratic machines that read an
ordinance or codebook and start with
no. It is important to remember that
behind each business big or small are
real people who have chosen to
invest in our community. Their
employees live, work and play in our
city and contribute to the intangible
amorphous quality of life we value.
This initiative is the rst in a series
of direct communication efforts in
this new format. We choose to do this
because we can. Our city is professionally managed while still maintaining a small town feeling. Our staff
is accessible and known by name by
the majority of its residents. Any resident can write or call and will receive
a response. That is customer service.
In recapping the roundtable, we are
looking for a community that desires
to be part of the solution to complex
issues and continues to make contributions to make our city great. Our
expectations are high and I look forward to continued dialogue.
Herb Perez is the may or of Foster City.
oster Citys economic development agenda appears to be driven by three basic misconceptions. These strongly held misconceptions are being used to justify swift
action by the City Council.
The misconceptions:
It is bad to be dependent on property taxes;
Our expenses are growing faster
than our revenue; and
Diversifying city revenue is crucial
to our ability to sustain our quality of
life.
Misconception No. 1: Foster City is
too dependent upon property taxes.
This misconception has been around
since the passage of Proposition 13. It
has been repeated so often it has
become the mantra for city ofcials
who seek increased revenue to expand
government.
Property tax revenue made up 53 percent of total general fund revenue in FY
2015-16. But, heres why being too
dependent on PTR is a misconception:
Four of the cities in San Mateo
County rely more heavily on PTR than
Foster City (Atherton, Hillsborough,
Woodside and Pacica). Housing prices
tell us these are desirable cities to live
in. Relying on property taxes is common in California where PTR can be up
to 86 percent of a citys revenue;
Cities that rely more on property
taxes usually differ from Foster City
they are more residential. This is the
result of differing land use, and the type
of city planned. Large city infrastructures need more revenue. The key is
deciding what kind of city we want to
be;
Property taxes are a stable form of
revenue. Sales tax or hotel tax revenue
uctuates based on business conditions;
Our PTR has been growing because
of the increase in housing prices,
assessments, turnover and new devel-
opment;
Twenty-year projections by our
Foster City
Department of
Finance show that
PTR is expected to
continue to grow
faster than other
sources of revenue.
If correct, we will become more dependent upon property tax, and thats OK.
PTR growth is a good thing.
In FY 2015-16, PTR is expected to
be 53.1 percent of revenue. By FY
2034-35, the percentage is expected to
grow to 59.9 percent.
Misconception No. 2: Our expenses
are growing faster than revenue.
The misconception is that the city
currently spends more than it takes in
and is expected to continue to do so
into the future. It is a belief that has no
factual foundation.
The city is in excellent nancial
shape, with a healthy reserve and no
bonded indebtedness. We can credit current and past administrations.
The latest city projections show revenue rising faster than expenditures in
most years. The Foster City
Department of Finance projects that
expenditures will not exceed revenue,
even 20 years into the future. Ination
and wage costs are muted. Unless these
projections are wrong, the city will
not spend more than it is taking in.
Department of Finance projections
through FY 2034-35 show general revenue expenses at 86.9 percent of revenue (including new development) in
FY 2015-16, rising to 91 percent in
ve years, then to 92.2 percent by FY
2025-26, and 95.9 percent by FY
2034-35.
Property tax limitation and the
method(s) of sharing revenue sources
may be a statewide structural problem.
Any necessary legislative remedy will
likely come about before any large
number of California cities goes bankrupt.
Guest
perspective
It is simply inaccurate to assert that
our citys business model is unsustainable, either because of our reliance
upon property taxes or because our
expenses will outpace our revenue.
Misconception No. 3: Diversifying
the citys revenue is crucial to our ability to sustain our quality of life.
It is always wise to diversify revenue
sources but it is not crucial. Refer to
misconceptions No. 1 and No. 2. We
should focus on maximizing return on
investment from existing assets before
embarking on new large projects. Why
diversify into retail if we cant get
value from existing shopping centers?
Foster City is different
In our city, we have many homeowner associations that pay for their own
streets, sewers, streetlights, etc. The
HOAs pick up a lot of the costs that
other cities pay for. HOAs substantially reduce city costs. This gives Foster
City a huge nancial advantage over
our neighbors.
Conclusions:
The city is expected to experience a
larger percentage of total revenue from
PTR as time passes;
PTR is projected to increase faster
than other revenue;
Projected expenditures are not
expected to exceed total revenue even
out as far as 20 years in the future.
Misconceptions can lead to bad decisions. Lets depend on the facts. A
more detailed report can be accessed at

NFL brief
Patriots owner Kraft seeks
Deflategate draft picks back
BOCA RATON, Fla. New England
Patriots owner Robert Kraft has asked the
NFL to reinstate the draft picks the team lost
in the deflated footballs investigation stemming from the 2014 AFC title game.
Kraft said Monday at the owners meetings
that he sent a letter to Commissioner Roger
Goodell more than a month ago seeking a
return of the two picks a first-rounder this
year and a fourth-rounder in 2017. He did not
say if Goodell responded.
But Kraft didnt sound optimistic that the
picks would be returned, or that quarterback
Tom Bradys four-game suspension would be
rescinded should an appeals court rule in
favor of the league in the saga dubbed
Deflategate. Brady had the suspension
overturned in an earlier court case before the
NFL appealed.
The NFL randomly tested the air in footballs before games last season but hasnt
released the information.
New England also was fined $1 million and
Kraft said last May he would not fight that sanction in hopes of tuning down the rhetoric.
CUBA
Continued from page 11
deal that could make it easier for Cuban
ballplayers to play in the United States
without having to sneak away at international tournaments or risk high-seas defections with human smugglers.
Last week the Obama administration
implemented a policy to let Cubans earn
salaries in the U.S. as long as they dont pay
special taxes back home. Those regulations
specifically mention athletes, along with
artists and performers.
Victor Mesa, a retired Cuban baseball legend whos managing the team facing the
Rays, said he has dreamed of a day when
Cuban players could compete in the United
States without abandoning their homeland.
They could go work there, they would
give us work permits, the money can be
brought back to Cuba that is what we
want, for our baseball players to be able to
play there, Mesa said.
One key sticking point is that while Cuba
now allows some players to compete in foreign leagues, they are legally on loan from
LOUNGE
Those critics would be correct on the second part. But that is the beauty of playing
in a league like the PAL that divides teams
into different divisions based on competitive balance. Could the Bearcats softball
team beat Carlmont? Could the San Mateo
baseball team beat Serra? Probably not,
but because they dont play those type of
teams, they have a better chance at being
successful this season. Just because they
dont play the best teams in the Central
Coast Section should not take away from
the sense of accomplishment a team should
feel due to the success they are having on
the eld.
Any coach will tell you, you can only
worry about the team in the other dugout
on any given day. Then you do your best to
go out and win that particular game. The
San Mateo baseball and softball teams
have done just that so far this season, and
theyve beaten every team that has taken
the eld against them.

5 and 7, when they were starting to

year, in spite of their record-setting
start, they still entered the game
just three ahead of San Antonio in
the Western Conference.
They are not only chasing the top
seed in the West, but are no longer
hiding their desire to break the
1995-96 Chicago Bulls record of
72 wins in a season. The Warriors
are currently ahead of that pace.
Nothing is yet guaranteed for
these Warriors, who are getting
every teams best shot every night.

WASHINGTON Theres growing evidence that most of the dramatic gain in the
number of Americans with health care coverage is due to President Barack Obamas
law, and not the gradual recovery of the
nations economy.
That could pose a political risk for
Republicans running against Obamacare
in the GOP primaries as they shift to the
general election later this year. While the
health care law remains highly unpopular in
the party, the prospect of taking away
health care coverage from millions of people could trigger a backlash if the eventual
GOP nominees plan to replace it is seen as
coming up short.
There are different phases of the campaign, said GOP pollster Bill McInturff.
Playing to like-minded voters in the primaries, Republican front-runner Donald
Trump doesnt have to spell how hed
replace Obamas law. When you get to the
general election, the demand for what you
are going to do different starts to escalate.

TURF
Continued from page 1
Michael Flynn, the schools athletic
director, said he is dismayed with the performance of what he considers a defective
product.
Its definitely frustrating, he said. It
kind of smells as if they dont want to
address it.
After noticing the field splitting, thinning and breaking, school officials
attempted to have the surface replaced while
still under warranty, but FieldTurf representatives ignored, then ultimately, denied the
claim, according to the complaint.
Without another opportunity for recourse
to recoup the cost of damage to the field,
which has shed clumps of turf fibers in
bunches, officials were forced to file the
lawsuit, according to the complaint.
FieldTurf has failed and refused to
replace the field with one that complies
with its original warranty and representations, according to the document. The
school now brings this action to seek relief
from the actions and inaction of FieldTurf.
HEALTH

stayed about the same.
The National Health Interview Survey
from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention also found that employer coverage was essentially flat between 2010 and
2014. But the same survey found 12.6 million more people with health insurance during that period.
The Census Bureaus Current Population
Survey found no statistically significant
change in the number of people covered by
employers from 2013 to 2014, while the
number of uninsured people dropped by
nearly 9 million as the laws main coverage
The school is seeking $293,760 in damages from the turf manufacturer for the cost
of the defective surface, as well as other
damages.
A FieldTurf spokesman said in an email
the company is committed to addressing
the issue, but would not go into great
detail, citing the pending court case.
We cannot comment on the specifics of
ongoing litigation, said Darren Gill,
FieldTurf spokesman. However, we can
say that whenever a client contacts us with
a potential issue we take this very seriously and are dedicated to honoring our warranties and remediating, where appropriate,
any fields that have degraded prematurely.
The lawsuit from the private college prep
Crystal Springs Uplands School, located at
400 Uplands Drive, mirrors actions by
other schools alleging FieldTurf, and its
parent company, FieldTurf Tarkett USA
Holdings, Inc. , installed other shoddy
products on campuses throughout the
nation.
Amy Richards, head of Crystal Springs
Uplands School, said the private institution joined a class action lawsuit against
FieldTurf, after being contacted by a law
firm representing other similarly concerned schools and districts.
only about six years before it began shedding large amounts of material when
exposed to only light contact, said Flynn.
He said FieldTurf representatives had
argued in the past the deterioration was part
of the normal aging process for the surface,
a claim he considered far-fetched.
This is above and beyond normal wear
and tear, he said.
Considering the amount of rain which
has fallen throughout the region over the
past few months, Flynn said he feared the
field may deteriorate even faster, which
could ultimately become a safety concern
for the students who play on the surfaces.
He said school officials have held up their
end of the bargain by maintaining the field
to the extent expected, but the defective
product continued to worsen.
We are doing our part to make sure it is
kept up, he said. There is no rhyme or reason for this turf failing so quickly.
For his part, Flynn said he is hopeful
FieldTurf will offer the school a new, faultless field, free of charge, as a result of the
lawsuit.
Im hoping they come to their senses
and realize they provided us with a faulty
product and they should do the right thing
and replace it for us, he said.

Fish and wildlife officials announced the

large algae bloom exacerbated by warmer
waters.
Despite the biggest Thanksgiving and
