City may hike developer fees


Millbrae council set to discuss offsetting costs incurred by new projects
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Millbrae officials concerned about the


potential harmful side effects of substantial
future growth are set to lay the groundwork
for hiking the fees charged to developers
interested in building projects near the
citys rail station.
The Millbrae City Council will discuss

Gina Papan

during
a
meeting
Tuesday, March 22, a
report making a case for
increasing rates builders
must pay to the city
when proposing a project in the boundaries of
the Millbrae Station Area
Plan.
Development fees are

commonly charged by cities in an attempt


to offset the cost incurred through increased
demand on local infrastructure generated by
an influx of new residents and workers.
Councilwoman Gina Papan said considering the fee hikes are a smart way to ensure
the lasting economic viability of the city,
as large mixed-use and transit-oriented
developments are expected to be proposed
in the coming years near the intersection of

El Camino Real and Millbrae Avenue.


This is a prime example of how we are
trying to make Millbrae sustainable, she
said. We have to ensure any new development will be sustainable to the city of
Millbrae, and not negatively impact the
Millbrae residents.

Crystal Springs Uplands School sued a popular maker of


artificial turf, alleging the company knowingly installed a
faulty synthetic playing surface on its Hillsborough campus.
Attorneys representing the school took legal action
against synthetic athletic field manufacturer FieldTurf
requesting nearly $300,000, or roughly the cost of purchasing and installing the artificial turf, according to documents filed Friday, March 18, with the state District Court
in Oakland.
The artificial turf installed at the schools soccer field in
2009 contained a defective fiber which caused it to decay at
an accelerated rate than was initially promised by the manufacturer, according to the complaint.

Harbor District boss: I know better


New general manager takes blame for approving commissioners trip expense
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The general manager of the San Mateo


County Harbor District told the Daily
Journal Monday he should have known
better than to approve travel expenses for
a trip a commissioner made in February.
I went with my experience but I should
have defaulted to district policy, General
Manager Steve McGrath said Monday about
approving a $1,057.40 expense submitted
by Commissioner Sabrina Brennan for a
trip she made in February to Morro Bay to
attend a California Coastal Commission
meeting.
Brennan did not attend the meeting on the
boards behalf and none of her fellow commissioners were informed she would attend
and that the district would pay for it.
It seemed important. It had statewide significance, McGrath said about the meeting
where the Coastal Commission fired its
executive director Charles Lester. The
expectation was that Brennan would report
back to the board on what transpired at the
meeting.
McGrath approved paying for the trip but
it was President Tom Mattusch who should
have approved the expense, according to
district policy.
Steve is new. It fell through the cracks,
Mattusch said Monday about reimbursing
Brennan.
McGrath was well intentioned but may
not have had access to the districts entire
rule book, Mattusch said.
Brennan has still not reported to her board
about the Coastal Commission meeting.
The full commission approved the
agencys bills and claims last week and
Commissioner Virginia Chang Kiraly questioned the expense after Brennan pulled the
item off the consent calendar.

But the commission


voted unanimously anyway to approve reimbursing Brennan along
with all the other bills
and claims at its March
16 meeting.
Chang Kiraly said the
full board should have
Steve McGrath been informed about the
meeting and that other
commissioners should
have been given the
opportunity to attend.
Since Brennan was not
speaking on behalf of
the board and since the
board took no position
on whether Lester should
be fired, the district
should not be on the
Sabrina
hook
to
pay
for
Brennan
Brennans
expenses,
Chang
Kiraly
said
Monday.
To
Brennan,
the
money should not be an
issue.
She told the Daily
Journal she wasnt sure
what the boards policies
are related to reimburseVirginia Chang ment.
Kiraly
She said, however, her
trip was not a secret and
the meeting was relevant to the district.
She also has not had the opportunity to
report to the board about the meeting since
there has been a push in recent months to
end Harbor District meetings earlier, she
said.
She was going to attend the meeting
regardless of whether the district paid for it.
I was going to pay myself, she said.

So far, she has yet to be reimbursed by the


Harbor District and is not sure yet what
shell do with the check when it comes in
the mail.
I might stick it in a drawer somewhere,
she said about whether the commission will
formally ask her to return the check. She
may also donate it to a nonprofit, she said.
Brennan, who has been on the board for
about four years, said she didnt remember
what the boards policy was previously
related to reimbursements.
She questions, however, why its an issue
now since the board unanimously voted to
approve the expense last week.
Once I approved it, I wouldnt revisit it,
Brennan said. This is not newsworthy. Its
me being picked on.
Chang Kiraly, however, contends her
concern is about accountability and transparency.
This is not good governance. Its an
unjustified expense, she said. The money
all adds up.
The district will revisit its policies related to reimbursements at a future meeting,
said McGrath, who was hired to his position about six months ago.
But Brennan said the full board should
make the decisions about trips and expenses rather than just the president of the
board.
We are equal commissioners. Being
board president doesnt give you special
powers. This is not a monarchy. We need to
decide on policies together on the board,
Brennan said.

BART riders face another tough commute


SAN FRANCISCO For commuters riding BART
Monday, service between the Pittsburg-Bay Point and
North Concord stations was again bridged by buses.
Transit officials said they havent pinpointed a root cause
for a track power-surge problem that took out 50 BART cars
last week north of the North Concord Station, causing service between that station and Pittsburg-Bay Point to cease to
avoid further damage to the cars.
The electrical spikes have been damaging the cars
propulsion system, specifically causing a semiconductor
device called a thyristor to fail.
The agency is now running a test train between the stations, periodically with riders, to see how the train cars
operate through the area with riders on board, said Alicia

FBI might have a way to unlock


attackers iPhone without Apple
By Brandon Bailey
and Amanda Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Soyuz TMA-20M spacecraft carrying the crew of Jeff Williams of the U.S., Alexey Ovchinin and Oleg Skripochka
of Russia blasts off to the International Space Station from the launchpad at the Baikonur cosmodrome, Kazakhstan
on Saturday, March 19.

Space station delivery rich


in science and technology
By Marcia Dunn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Some experiments bound for space

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. A


space station supply ship is set to
blast off Tuesday night with a
commercial-quality 3-D printer for
astronaut as well as public use
for a price and the makings for
a large-scale fire.
Dont worry: The blaze is for
scientific purposes only and wont
ignite until the unmanned craft is
clear of the International Space
Station at missions end. NASA
project manager Gary Ruff said
this blaze will be second in size
only to the 1997 fire on the
Russian Mir space station, which
was caused by a defective oxygengenerating canister.
Orbital ATKs capsule, named
Cygnus after the swan constellation, holds nearly 8,000 pounds
of station supplies for NASA.

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,
short for Spacecraft Fire Experiment.
3-D SPACE PRINTS, ANYONE?
This new 3-D printer is an update to one
launched to the space station in 2014. Northern
California-based company Made In Space says
the new printer is bigger and better. The first
printer created items no bigger than an iPhone,
this new printer will churn out items as big as an
iPad mini. It will be controlled from the ground,
with minimal input from the astronauts. The
intention is to make 3-D items as needed for realtime use. But the company also is leasing the
printer for groups interested in creating
customized 3-D items in space. Some of the items
will be returned to Earth aboard SpaceX Dragon
capsules, according to the company.
METEOR SHOWERS UP CLOSE

A new camera will provide high-definition video


of meteors entering Earths atmosphere. It should
be ready to go well before the Perseids meteor
shower in August. Southwest Research Institutes
Michael Fortenberry and his team want to
analyze the chemical composition of incoming
meteors. This is the third attempt to get the
experiment to the space station; the first was
destroyed in an Orbital launch explosion in 2014,
the second in a SpaceX launch accident last June.
SLIP-SLIDING AWAY
A spacecraft landing on an asteroid will need to
anchor itself to avoid floating away, given the
exceedingly low gravity.The question is: Will the
anchor stay put or yank free? Researchers hope
to better understand the loose, gravelly asteroid
surface with a NASA experiment known as Strata.
Theyve pulverized a hunk of meteorite
discovered in Africa to simulate the surface
material found on airless asteroids; 400 grams
are on board. Silica glass shards also are making
the trip, along with other materials stored in
tubes, so researchers can see how they move
around in weightlessness.
GECKO GRIPPERS
Some of natures best grippers can be found on
the feet of geckos. Researchers at Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in Pasadena, California, have based
their new mechanical spring-loaded grippers on
the thousands of tiny sticky hairs found on
geckos feet.

LOS ANGELES A much-anticipated court hearing on the federal


governments effort to force Apple
Inc. to unlock the iPhone used by
one of the shooters in the San
Bernardino terror attack was
abruptly vacated Monday after the
FBI revealed it may have a way to
access data without the companys
help.
Federal prosecutors made the
surprising announcement on the
eve of Tuesdays hearing in U.S.
District Court in Riverside,
California. In court papers they
said the FBI has been researching
methods to access the data on Syed
Rizwan Farooks encrypted phone
since obtaining it on Dec. 3, the
day after the attack.
An outside party came forward
over the weekend and showed the
FBI a possible method, the government said in court papers
requesting the hearing be postponed. Authorities need time to
determine whether it is a viable
method that will not compromise
data on the phone.

If viable, it should eliminate


the need for the assistance from
Apple, according to the filing.
The government did not identify
the third party or explain what the
proposed method entailed.
Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym
granted that request and ordered the
government to file a status report
by April 5. Pym also stayed her
Feb. 16 order compelling Apple to
create software that would disable
security features on the phone,
including one that erases all information if a passcode is incorrectly
entered more than 10 times.
In a conference call with
reporters, Apple attorneys said its
premature to declare victory in the
case because its possible that
authorities could come back in a
few weeks and insist they still
need the companys help. The
attorneys spoke on condition they
wouldnt be identified by name
because the case is still pending.
The company hopes the government will tell Apple about whatever method it uses to access the
phones encrypted files. But the
attorneys said it may be up to the
FBI to decide whether to share the
information.

Obama seeks more coordination


on dealing with ongoing drought
By Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama on Monday directed
the federal government to come up
with a less reactionary and more
long-term strategy for dealing
with drought.
About 12.5 percent of the continental U. S. was experiencing
drought as of mid-March, said
Alice Hill, a key Obama aide on
this issue.
That translates into more than
39 million people, or about oneeighth of the U.S. population,
living with drought in the lower
48 states, mostly in the West and
with much of California suffering
through its fifth year of dryness.
Obama issued a presidential

memorandum and separate action


plan Monday that sets forth a
series of goals for the federal government. They include sharing
more information about drought
risks with state, regional, tribal
and local authorities, and improving coordination of federal
drought-related activities.
Drought affects the food supply
and infrastructure, hurts the economy and increases energy costs,
according to the action plan.
Drought conditions are also
expected to become increasingly
more severe due to climate
change. Combating climate
change is a top environmental
priority as well as a legacy
issue for Obama, who has tackled the matter on a variety of
fronts.

Q&A: Utah votes Tuesday with


some casting their ballots online
By Michelle L. Price
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SALT LAKE CITY Utah voters on


Tuesday will navigate a new presidential caucus system that comes months
earlier than last time and opens the
Republican race to online voting with
computers, smartphones or tablets.
Unlike in some past presidential
campaigns, the state of Utah is not
paying for a primary election this
year, leaving the parties to set up their
own systems.
Democrats are holding a traditional
paper vote, but to boost participation, the Utah GOP is offering online
voting in addition to the usual ballot.
Its one of the first prominent uses in
the country of online voting, which
presents new security and privacy
challenges for officials.
State Republican officials say
theyre confident in their process
because its been used for national
elections in other countries.
Some questions and answers about
Utahs presidential caucus system:

CAUCUSES VS. PRIMARY?


Utahs GOP-dominated Legislature
decides every four years if it wants to
pay about $3 million for a state-run
presidential primary or leave the contest to the parties. This time, Utah
Republicans decided to run their own
election, scheduling it the same
evening party supporters were already

More

to gather at neighborhood caucuses to


elect state and local officeholders.
With Utah Republicans deciding to run
their own contest, lawmakers didnt
want to foot an election bill and left
Democrats to run their own caucuses,
too.

HOW DO
REPUBLICANS PARTICIPATE?
The Utah GOP caucuses are only
open to Republicans, who can vote
online, in-person at their neighborhood caucus meetings, or by filling
out an absentee ballot and having
another caucus-goer deliver it to a
meeting, along with a copy of the
voters ID. The evening meetings are
typically open for about two hours.
Republicans had to declare to the party
by Thursday that they would participate by voting online. Once party
officials verified their registration,
voters were emailed a 30-digit PIN to
enter when casting their vote. The
online voting system is open from 7
a.m. to 11 p.m. local time on Tuesday.

HOW DO
DEMOCRATS PARTICPATE?
Utahs Democratic caucuses are open
to all voters, but they can only participate by attending a neighborhood
meeting and casting a ballot. The
meetings run from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
local time. Votes will be accepted from
anyone in line by 8:30 p.m.

IS ONLINE VOTING SECURE?


James Evans, the Utah Republican
Party chairman, said party officials
interviewed six companies to administer the system before awarding an
$80, 000 contact to London-based
SmartMatic, which has set up online
voting in the small country of
Estonia. Evans wouldnt explain the
specifics of the system or how he
thinks its safe from security breaches. He contends traditional voting has
more risk of fraud. How do I know
that somebody in the county clerks
office isnt messing with the vote
results? he asked. I think theres a
greater likelihood of that than anything else.
Mark Thomas, Utahs director of
elections, said state officials studied
online voting last year and noted that
while security is a concern, even false
claims of hacking could throw results
into question. While people bank
online and file taxes online, Thomas
said, elections officials arent quite
ready to adopt online voting. He said
Tuesdays vote by the GOP will give
an initial taste of what it might look
like when government eventually
adopts the practice.

WHATS AT STAKE?
Republicans Donald Trump, Ted Cruz
and John Kasich are vying for 40 delegates; Democrats Hillary Clinton and
Bernie Sanders are competing for 37.

Trump demands GOP embrace him


as Democrats unleash new attacks

Judge asks U.S. to defend secrecy of


Trump associates criminal history
By Jeff Horwitz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A federal judge has


asked the Obama administration to shield
from public disclosure court records related
to the once-secret criminal history of a former Donald Trump business partner.
In an unusual order prompted by an
unsealing request from the Associated
Press, U.S. District Judge Brian M. Cogan
said that unless the Justice Department acts
before April 18, he will decide whether to
make the court files public under the
assumption that federal prosecutors dont
care.
The case involves Felix Sater, a Trump
business associate who pleaded guilty in a
major Mafia-linked stock fraud scheme in
the late 1990s and cooperated with the
government. The AP reported in December
that, even after learning about Saters
background, Trump tapped Sater for a business development role in 2010 that included the title of senior adviser to Trump, and
had an office in the Trump Organizations

headquarters.
Saters criminal past
initially drew attention
because of his ties to
Trump, now the frontrunner
for
the
Republican presidential
nomination. But legal
disputes over information related to Saters
Felix Sater
efforts to cooperate with
the government which was ongoing during the period he worked with Trump also
raises questions about court secrecy.
It seems to me that the government has a
unique interest in keeping documents that
relate to cooperation agreements under
seal, Cogan wrote in his order. The government should speak and assert its position as to whether the publics right to
access each document in the record is outweighed by a compelling need for secrecy.
Lawyers for the AP had asked the judge to
justify sealing a five-year criminal contempt proceeding in U.S. District Court for
the Eastern District of New York.

WASHINGTON A front-runner under


attack from all sides, Republican Donald
Trump demanded that his partys skeptical
establishment embrace the inevitability of
his presidential nomination as he stormed
into Washington on Monday. Democrats
responded by debuting a multi-pronged
assault, shifting their rhetoric and
resources against the man they expect to
face in a contentious and ugly general election campaign.
If people want to be smart, they should
embrace this movement, Trump declared at
a news conference, shrugging off passionate resistance to his candidacy from both
parties.
Im an outsider, Trump said. Theyre
not used to this.
As he often is, Trump was dogged by
protests. A group of rabbis said they were
boycotting his evening speech to a proIsrael lobbying group as protesters gathered outside.
Democratic presidential front-runner
Hillary Clinton touched off her partys
fresh anti-Trump campaign during a morning foreign policy speech to the American
Israel Public Affairs Conference, questioning the former reality television stars
readiness to guide the nation through delicate international entanglements.
We need steady hands, Clinton told
thousands at the pro-Israel gathering. Not
a president who says hes neutral on
Monday, pro-Israel on Tuesday and whoknows-what on Wednesday because everythings negotiable.

Israels security, she


proclaimed, is nonnegotiable.
Trump kindled criticism from Republicans as
well as Democrats earlier
in the year when he
pledged to be sort of a
neutral guy on Israel.
Hillary Clinton While the U.S. is officially neutral in the
Middle East conflict, his
statement marked a
rhetorical departure for
U.S. presidential candidates.
Getting
a
second
chance to face pro-Israel
activists, Trump on
Monday promised there
would be no daylight
Ted Cruz
between America and our
most reliable ally, the state of Israel in his
administration. But he also repeatedly
referred to Palestine instead of the
Palestinian territories as he read from
prepared remarks, using a term many proIsrael activists oppose.
Rival candidate Ted Cruz, following him
at the conference, jabbed Trump for that reference, saying Palestine hasnt existed
since 1948.
Clinton and her allies have readied a
three-pronged effort against Trump that targets his character, credentials and controversial statements about women and
minorities. That began in earnest on
Monday, with labor unions, members of
Congress and the presidential candidates all
escalating their criticism.

Witness, funeral helped lead


police to Paris attack suspect
By John-Thor Dahlbuurg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS A keen-eyed witness who


spotted a pale, slender figure fleeing an
apartment near a Brussels auto plant one
week ago set in motion a vast police dragnet
that within 72 hours led to the capture of
Salah Abdeslam, the most-wanted man in
Europe.
Another key if unwitting helper in
leading authorities to the hideout of their
high-value quarry was a pallbearer at the burial of the fugitives brother.
Abdeslam is being held in a Belgian highsecurity prison, with France seeking his
extradition so he can stand trial for his
alleged role in the Nov. 13 rampage of gunfire and suicide bombings that killed 130
people.
The 26-year-old Frenchman was arrested
Friday after being run to ground by investigators in the same gritty Molenbeek neighborhood of Brussels where he grew up. Much
remains unclear about Abdeslams movements in the four months he managed to elude
authorities multiple times.

U.K.s Cameron seeks to quell

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON British Prime Minister David


Cameron sought Monday to impose discipline on his warring Conservative Party,
after a Cabinet resignation ostensibly
about unpopular welfare reforms blew the
top off simmering divisions over the
European Union.
Cameron, who has staked his political
future on keeping Britain inside the EU, is
due to face the House of Commons later in a
session thats meant to be about last weeks
migration summit in Brussels.
However, the resignation of Work and
Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith
means the debate will likely be dominated
by welfare cuts and especially Europe an
issue that has divided the Conservatives

since Britain joined the

Duncan Smith, who
has pushed through big
changes to the countrys
welfare system over the
past six years, dramatically quit late Friday,
accusing the governDavid Cameron ment of targeting the
poor for cuts while protecting pensions for the better-off. He said
last weeks budget, which included a 4 billion-pound ($5.8 billion) cut to disability

Engaging for the future


By Herb Perez

n January, our Foster City


Council held our annual policy
meeting. As mayor, along with
our city manager and the council, we
crafted a streamlined agenda with
laser-focused outcomes. This was a
departure from past practices and was
welcomed by the council, staff and
community. We created a short list of
priorities for the coming year and
handed these off to council-staff subcommittees to develop action items
for implementation. The council has
adopted a business-like approach to
our daily policy considerations and is
focused on deliverables impactful to
our residents and businesses.
We have decided to engage the various stakeholders in our community in
a series of roundtable dialogues rather
than from the dais in a one-way conversation. In this way, we can foster
open communication between our residents and businesses directly with
our staff and council.
As part of this new policy, Foster
City held its rst ever Business
Roundtable this past week. This came
to fruition in response to what has
been perceived as a historic disconnect between our local businesses and
our citys staff and processes. We created a format that was engaging,
responsive and conversational. We
wanted to hear the unltered voices of
business and absorb their perceptions
of our city and more importantly,
what they thought about doing business in our fair city.
The council and staff vision to create a dynamic, engaging and interactive environment was accomplished
within a spirit of cooperation about

what is good for


the business community and the city
as a whole.
I am fortunate to
live in our city and
serve as mayor;
however, I also
own and operate a
business here and
in ve surrounding communities. This
provides me with a unique and perhaps
biased point of view; however, I can
state with some certainty that doing
business here in our city is far better
than in many others. By way of example, it took me over six months to
obtain a building permit in a similarly situated city this past year. The
same process took me two weeks in
Foster City, and that was 10 years
prior. Regardless, our city can always
improve upon our services and communication methods.
The day started with a series of
updates and framing of the various
city departments that interact with
business. We welcomed over 60
diverse types and size businesses
from one-person operations to major
employers including Visa. We then
broke into focus groups in roundtable
discussions so each would have direct
conversation with each area of focus.
The conversations were engaging,
lively, frank and productive. We all
listened respectfully and judgmentfree. Business and staff shared positive comments and critique and both
were welcomed and noted. I think all
attending would define the day as
very successful and productive, a
valuable and good use of time. The
opportunity to sit at a table and
share openly with your elected offi-

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.

Misconceptions on development in Foster City


By Bob Cushman

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

Dev elopment.

A moment of silence
for the 40th first lady

resident Ronald Reagan is regarded one of the


most influential presidents in recent memory.
Among his greatest achievements, he implemented policy initiatives that made possible a wave of
small businesses throughout the country. He worked
closely with Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev to
bring down the Berlin Wall, which sowed the seeds for
the decline of the Soviet Union and the end to a decadeslong Cold War amongst world powers. Reagan also
strengthened our national defense by giving our military the necessary resources to ensure the safety and
security of the American people at home and abroad.
Beyond those achievements,
few recognize the powerful
role Reagans wife Nancy
played behind the scenes in
guiding his path. In fact,
behind his every challenge and
accomplishment was the guiding hand and voice of Nancy
Reagan.
Take the assassination
attempt on President Reagans
Jonathan Madison
life just one year after his election. Minutes after addressing the Building and
Construction Workers Union at the Washington Hilton
in downtown Washington, D.C., a man fired several
shots at Reagan one of which pierced his chest.
Battling the prospects of a potentially fatal wound, the
country witnessed Reagan withstand the injury as a
poised comedian. Reagans first question to the doctors
and nurses assigned to his aid was quite unexpected:
Are you all Republicans? The country witnessed this
event, his swift recovery amidst such a turbulent time,
and quickly grew to love the man for his overwhelming
optimism and charisma.
Throughout this tumultuous time, Nancy Reagan
clasped the presidents hand, assuring him that his partner in life would not leave his side or give up hope for
his recovery. For the next several months, Nancy
Reagan spent nearly every waking moment with her
husband to ensure his recovery.
Following the assassination attempt, the first lady
took on one of her most important roles in acting as the
personal protector of her husband. Henceforth, she analyzed and verified every aspect of the presidents travel
plans and itinerary to ensure his safety. Nancy Reagan
grew to play such a large role in the presidents day-today affairs that she was coined a new nickname the
Dragon Lady for the powerful influence she had on
the presidency.
The 40th first ladys accomplishments were not limited to supporting her husbands presidency. In the early
1980s, she spearheaded a Just Say No campaign that
encouraged American youth to refrain from using drugs.
Her efforts led to the passage of The National Crusade
for a Drug Free America Act of 1986.
The former first ladys contributions as a public servant did not cease upon her exit from the White House.
She established the Nancy Reagan Foundation in 1994
to urge support for additional after-school programs that
encouraged young adults to refrain from using drugs.
After a long battle with Alzheimers, President Reagan
died in 2004. This fueled Nancy Reagans desire to advocate for stem-cell research to find a cure for the disease
that is the sixth leading cause of death in the United
States. Beyond that, she has been honored with many
distinguished awards for her limitless support for public
service.
It is quite clear that without the unwavering support of
the presidents life partner, he would not likely have
seen the success he achieved in the Oval Office. Let us
take a moment of silence to honor the former first lady,
her accomplishments as a loving wife to the president,
and her public service accomplishments independent of
her husband.
Reflecting on the legacy of the 40th president and
first lady reminds us that we find our full potential in
life with the unwavering support of our loved ones. As a
brother, sister, mother, father, husband or wife, we
should each strive to support one another the way Nancy
Reagan supported her husband.
Jonathan Madison work ed as professional policy staff for
the U.S. House of Representativ es, Committee on
Financial Serv ices, for two y ears. Jonathan currently

Stocks shake off early loss, end slightly up


By Alex Veiga

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Major U.S. stock indexes eked


out modest gains on Monday,
extending the markets winning
streak into a fourth day.
Stocks wavered into the red at
times before steadying in the late
afternoon. The price of oil also
veered lower at times, but ended
higher.
Investors had their eye on the
latest batch of company deal news
and new data on housing that sent
homebuilders broadly lower.
Telecommunications services and
health care stocks were among the
biggest risers.
Mondays action builds on the
markets five-week string of gains
and suggests an improved outlook
by investors since the markets
rocky start to 2016. Worries about
the global economy prompted the
Federal Reserve to slow the pace
of interest rate increases this year.
Investors have really come to
terms with the fact that recession
risks are receding in the U.S., and
that certainly was helped by the

Valeant to replace CEO, adds activist investor to board

The

embattled drug company wants
another director to leave too, as it
works to clean up its financial
statements and resolve several
investigations. Shares of the

had slid to nearly a tenth of the alltime high they hit last summer,
rallied Monday after it announced
the management shake-up.
Valeant said that current CEO J.

Valeant also said it added activist
investor William Ackman to its
board, and director Katharine B.
Stevenson resigned to make room
for him. The board requested that
Howard Schiller resign too.
Valeant said the former chief
financial officer, who served as

interim CEO during Pearsons


medical leave, has refused to do so.
These changes were absolutely
necessary, said Steve Brozak,
who follows the pharmaceutical
industry as president of WBB
Securities.
Valeants stock soared last year
as it focused on a growth-throughacquisition strategy that included
buying older drugs and then hiking their prices. But the company
has been swamped in recent
months with a host of problems
including massive debt, ongoing
federal probes of its accounting
and pricing practices, and shareholder lawsuits in the U.S. and

Small is beautiful, too
By Brandon Bailey
THEASSOCIATED PRESS

CUPERTINO As it struggles
to match the success of its bigscreen iPhones, Apple is now contending that small can be beautiful, too.
The giant tech company showed
off downsized versions of its signature iPhone and iPad Pro tablet
on Monday, hoping theyll
appeal to first-time buyers and
those who have shied away from
the bigger-screen models Apple
has sold in recent years.
At a time when overall smartphone sales are slowing, Apple
touted its new four-inch iPhone SE
as the most affordable new
phone the company has offered.
While it comes with an upgraded
camera, faster processor and other
features, the SE has a starting
price of $400, or $50 less than the
older iPhone 5S that its replacing. By contrast, the iPhone 6S
Plus, which had been Apples

newest and biggest phone, starts


at $750.
The company also knocked $50
off the price of its Apple Watch,
showed off some new bands for
the
wearable
gadget,
and
announced
some
software
enhancements for its mobile
devices and the Apple TV system.
Apples spring product event
came one day before the tech giant
is set to square off with authorities
in federal court over the FBIs
demand for help unlocking a mass
shooters encrypted iPhone. The
dispute has dominated headlines
in recent weeks, as Apple CEO
Tim Cook acknowledged in brief
remarks at the opening of
Mondays event.
We did not expect to be in this
position, at odds with our own
government, he said. But we
believe strongly that we have a
responsibility to help you protect
your data and your privacy.
Few of Mondays announcements surprised industry experts.

Athlete of the Week

In four years with the Menlo School girls


basketball team, sharpshooter Hannah Paye
converted 212 times from beyond the 3point line.
It was the final trey she scored on her home
court that capped her legacy.
While the Knights would go on to lose the
Northern California Division IV championship game Saturday, it was a clutch Hannah
Paye 3-pointer that got them there. In last
Tuesdays Nor Cal semifinal game against St.
Marys-Albany, the senior guard produced the
game-winning trey with 57 seconds remaining
in regulation to send Menlo to a 47-46 victory.
Hannah Payes long-range heroics have
also earned her Daily Journal Athlete of the
Week honors.
Hannah has made so many 3s, its almost
like shes a better shooter from beyond the
arc, said John Paye, Menlos head coach and
also Hannahs father. So if shes going to
shoot, thats the one you want her to shoot.
Menlo wasnt exactly looking for a 3pointer with the game on the line. Trailing
by 2 with a minute remaining in regulation,
the Knights drove into the paint but lost the
handle on the ball. A scrap for the loose ball
ensued with Menlo forward MacKenzie
Duffner coming up with it.
Duffner instinctively looked to the point
position and locked eyes with Menlos alltime leading 3-pointer shooter. And even
though she received the pass well beyond the
arc John Paye estimated the distance of
the shot to be 22 feet Hannah Paye didnt
hesitate to let the fateful rainbow jumper fly.
I guess when I shoot I dont really think
about shooting, Hannah Paye said. It was
more I knew the ball was coming and I knew
I had shoot it.

hard the opponent played. And with so much


passion.
Tonight we played against a team that executed really well, a team that was extremely
well coached and a team that put their heart on
the floor, VanDerveer said. Honestly, I wish
theyd been in a different bracket because it
was sad to see them lose when they had played
so well.
South Dakota State (27-7) missed a chance
at reaching the Sweet 16 for the first time in

here is still a ton of baseball and


softball season left to play and,
as everyone knows, winning
league and section titles takes a special
combination of talent, opportunity and
just a little bit of luck.
But that shouldnt prevent teams from
enjoying the journey and there are few
teams enjoying themselves more than
the San Mateo baseball and softball
teams, who, following the baseball
teams 1-0 win over city rival Aragon,
and the Lady Bearcats posting a 12-0 win
over the Jefferson, nd themselves a
combined 16-0 on the season.
Both teams have
opened the season
with identical
eight-game winning streaks and
have done it in
similar ways: by
simply overwhelming their opponents. The baseball
squad has outscored
its opponents 6314, posting a team
batting average of
.348 and a team
earned run average of 1.58.
The softball team has been bombing
opponents, averaging 11.5 runs per game
and batting .420, while allowing just
over two runs per contest.
The softball team has been especially
surprising considering the youth on the
team. Seven freshmen are seeing signicant playing time, led by Monet Scheller
and Isabelle Borges. Scheller is batting
.478, Borges .455, and they are tied for
the team lead in RBIs with 11.
Setting the table for the Lady Bearcats
are senior Taylor Doi and freshman
Kendall Richards. They have scored 15
and 10 runs, respectively, with Doi leading the team with a .615 batting average.
Borges is also the lead of a three-armed
pitching staff, 3-0 in four games started,

Tennis tourney director quits


after criticizing women pros
By Beth Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The tournament director of the BNP Paribas


Open who said womens pro tennis
players ride on the coattails of
the men resigned Monday night.
Tournament owner Larry Ellison
said in a statement that Raymond
Moore was quitting as chief executive officer and tournament director of the $7 million event featuring mens and womens players in
the California desert. Moore
informed Ellison of his decision
when they spoke earlier in the day.
Ray let me know that he has
decided to step down from his roles
as CEO and tournament director
effective immediately, Ellison
said. I fully understand his decision.
A tournament spokesman could
offer no further details on Moores
resignation, citing only Ellisons
statement.
Moore apologized after he was
roundly criticized by executives

from the womens and mens pro


tours, players Serena Williams and
Victoria Azarenka and on social
media for his comments Sunday.
The 69-year-old former touring
pro from South Africa has been
CEO of the tournament since
2012. In the events early years,
Moore and fellow ex-player
Charlie Pasarell started PM Sports
Management, which oversaw the
tournament as it expanded.
In my next life when I come
back I want to be someone in the
WTA because they ride on the coattails of the men. They dont make
any decisions and they are lucky.
They are very, very lucky, Moore
said. If I was a lady player, Id go
down every night on my knees and
thank God that Roger Federer and
Rafa Nadal were born, because
they have carried this sport.
He also referred to womens
players as physically attractive
and competitively attractive.
Moore later apologized, calling
his comments in extremely poor
taste and erroneous.

The dramatic victory had quite an
audience. In attendance among one
of Menlos largest crowds of the
year were four players from the
1991 team the last Knights team
to reach the Nor Cal finals Laurie
Stucker, Stephanie Nichols, Carrie
Ledbetter and Hannahs aunt Kate
Paye.
The foursome was part of a Menlo
team to three-peat as Nor Cal
Division V champs from 1989-91.
In 1990, in a 62-52 win over archrival Sacred Heart Prep, Kate Paye set
the all-time single-game record for
a Nor Cal Division V championship
game with 33 points. She would go
on to play at Stanford, where she
won a title for the fourth straight
year, as the Cardinal brought home
the national championship her
freshman season.

being a natural
r i g h t - h a n de r.
Hannah Paye When she started playing the
game in grade school she shot
righty, but come middle school she
started favoring the left to gain an
advantage against defenders.
Despite the objections of her junior-varsity coach upon arriving at
Menlo, Hannah Paye continued to
refine her lefty approach. She even
recounted her first weeks of practice
in which the coach would have her
wear an over mitt on her left hand to
force her to shoot from her natural
side.
Ultimately, Hannah Paye did it
her way. And by the start of the varsity season, she was promoted to
the varsity squad as a freshman. The
rest, as they say, is history.
The historic run included a threepeat of her own as Menlo captured
three consecutive Central Coast
Section Division IV titles from
2013-15. This year, however, the

Knights earned the draw in the CCS


Open Division bracket, where they
ran into a pair of West Catholic
Athletic League powers, falling in
the opening round to Sacred Heart
Cathedral and being eliminated in
the consolation bracket by St.
Francis.
I think, for us, it helped us,
John Paye said. For the Nor Cal
games, it really got us game ready.
We had two competitive games.
So playing them, we got better. And
we didnt have as many games, so
maybe it kept us a little fresher for
that game against St. Marys.
Saturdays Nor Cal title game was
a bittersweet end to the varsity
careers of Hannah Paye and her
three senior teammates Duffner,
Olivia Pellarin and Angel Okoro.
The Knights went up against an old
foe in Cardinal Newman-Santa Rosa
and got dominated on the boards by
the Cardinals junior twin towers of
6-3 Hailey Vice-Neat and 6-5 Lauren
Walker to fall 51-32 at American
Canyon High School.
I think we were really proud of
how far we did go, Hannah Paye
said. We did it together at the end
of the day. Even though we were sad
we did lose we were happy with
how we did in the tournament. So
that was the important thing.

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

THE DAILY JOURNAL

the Cuban Baseball Federation, which takes


a cut of their salaries. Paying money directly to the Cuban government would violate
the U.S. embargo under its current form.
Yulieski Gourriel became the first big star
to go overseas in the prime of his career
with the islands full blessing, in 2014. He
made $1 million in Japan with the
Yokohama Dena Baystars and paid 10 percent of that to the federation a huge payoff for a country where take-home salaries
for Cubans average about $25 a month.
But last season he ended up back in Cuba
after the club canceled his contract.
Then last month he and younger brother
Lourdes also considered a promising
prospect slipped out of their hotel at the
Caribbean Series in the Dominican
Republic, joining the likes of Yasiel Puig
and Yoenis Cespedes in a string of high-profile defections.
Photos posted on Twitter in early March
showed Gourriel at the Miami airport.
At the time he left, Gourriel was batting
around .500 for Havanas powerhouse club
Industriales and was on pace to shatter multiple hitting records. Some of that was surely skewed by a decline in local pitching, but
Gourriel is widely considered to be the finest
Cuban player of his generation.

That was a symbolic blow, said Peter C.


Bjarkman, author of the forthcoming book
Cubas Baseball Defectors: The Inside Story.
Bjarkman interpreted it as a sign that no
MLB deal was imminent, because otherwise
Gourriel probably would have stayed:
Running out of time as he was (at age 31),
he felt he had to go now or never.
Another problem is that Cuba plays in the
winter. That means players who also compete in Japan or elsewhere get precious little
offseason. Senior players like Gourriel
would risk exhaustion and potentially serious injury.
Sene said authorities already are talking of
shifting to a May-September league that
would operate without players who sign
with the Majors. A second, six-team league
could run from October to December when
they would be available to play back home
after the U.S. season ends.
I hope that can happen, Sene said. For
me it is the solution to the general quality
of play in Cuba.
It would likely be necessary, because MLB
clubs that pay millions of dollars in salaries
will aggressively defend their investment.
The White Sox are not going to release
(Jose) Abreu in the middle of a pennant race
to go play for Cuba, Bjarkman said.

league they wouldnt be as good.

the rotation is yet another freshman, Kylie
Galea, also 3-0 in three starts. Anchoring
the rotation is senior Jodie Lewis, who has
appeared in a team-high ve games. In just
over 13 innings of work, Lewis has 12
strikeouts.
The San Mateo baseball team has been
mashing as well to start the season. Fouryear varsity player Sergio Noriega is putting together a MVP season, hitting at a
.654 clip with 17 hits, 15 RBIs and 11
doubles. It seems every time Joe Veglak
gets a hit, he drives in a run. With nine
hits, he has nine RBIs. Kevin Jacobs and
Dom Monozon have combined for 17 RBIs
and 25 runs scored.
Pitching-wise, the Bearcats have used a
committee to stay unbeaten on the season.
Jacobs, Monozon and Noriega each have
two starts under their belts, but it has been
Charlie Titus who has seen the most work
on the mound, appearing in four games and
also with a record of 2-0.
Critics, however, will say (in a grumpy
voice), The Bearcats havent played any-

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

Brewers manager says Liriano


doing well after being beaned
PHOENIX Milwaukee Brewers
outfielder Rymer Liriano was
released from the hospital and visited his teammates in the clubhouse
Monday, a day after he was hit in
the face by a pitch.
The 24-year-old Liriano sustained multiple facial and nasal
fractures. He will start the season
on the disabled list, manager Craig
Counsell said.
Counsell visited Liriano in the
hospital. Later, Liriano joined the
Brewers at the ballpark before they
played the Los Angeles Angels.
He got to see everybody,
Counsell said. It was good, Im
glad everybody was able to say hi
to him and see that he was OK.
Counsell said it was too early to
say how serious the injuries were
and whether surgery would be
required.

Angel Pagan, Miguel Olivo and
Conor Gillaspie each added two
hits for the Giants, who have lost
16 of the past 20 spring games to
the As. They play three more

As starter Chris Bassitt gave up
four runs and eight hits in 5 1-3
innings. Billy Burns and Josh
Phegley each drove in a run.
Chris Coghlan and Matt Chapman
each hit a two-run homer off
Samardzija. It was the fourth home
run of the spring for Chapman.
I keep telling myself hes not

Health insurance gains due to Obamas law, not economy


By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

Under Obamacare, the share of


Americans without health insurance has
dropped to a historic low of about 9 percent,
with room to go even lower. But even as the
economy has expanded, major government
surveys point to a lackluster rebound for
employer-based coverage.
Its very clear that the Affordable Care
Act has done most of the work in decreasing
the number of uninsured, said economist
Robert Kaestner of the University of
Illinois at Chicago.
The numbers vary across different government surveys, but the overall pattern is
strikingly similar:
The Census Bureaus American
Community Survey found about 3 million
more people gained employer coverage
between 2010, when the health law passed,
and 2014. But the number of uninsured people dropped by more than 10 million during
that same period. The strongest gains
appeared to come from Medicaid, which was
expanded under Obamas law. The percentage of Americans covered by employers

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.

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.

Given our disappointment of the life


span of the field, we joined in, said
Richards.
The field at the local school, which
serves students in sixth-grade through high
school, was comprised of FieldTurf
Duraspine monofilament fibers, a component known to cause decay faster than the
terms promised under the warranty offered
by the manufacturer, according to the complaint.
Roughly 18 months after the Crystal
Springs Uplands School installation,
FieldTurf sued TenCate, the maker of the
fiber, claiming fields were failing too
quickly.
Yet despite acknowledging a trend of
fields infected with the Duraspine Fiber
were defective as early as 2006, the company continued installing them, alleged the
lawsuit, resulting in flawed products being
offered to school districts throughout the
state, and nation.
Considering the moderately small student
body at Crystal Springs Uplands School,
comprised of only 300 students, Flynn said
he initially expected the field to last longer
than the life span promised by FieldTurf
when it was installed.
The reality though was the field lasted

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.

expansion got under way during that time.


This kind of shift in insurance I dont
think can be explained by the economy,
economist Christine Eibner of the RAND
Corporation said. The increase (in coverage) is large enough that it cant be driven
by just economic recovery.
Kaestner said most of the heavy lifting
seems to be coming from Medicaid expansion.
Employer-provided insurance plans
remain the mainstay for workers and their
families, covering an estimated 150 million to 170 million Americans. But even
before the 2007-2009 economic recession,
workplace coverage was steadily shrinking
because of rising medical costs.
Obamas law provides subsidized private
insurance for those who dont have access at
work, along with a Medicaid expansion

geared to low-income adults in states that


agreed to do so. Most individuals are
required to have coverage, and larger
employers must offer it or face fines.
The health care law has been difficult to
navigate for consumers, and its skinny
policies can expose patients to high medical bills. But its becoming a backstop for
millions of Americans in a changing economy.
On the campaign trail, Republican presidential candidates denounce Obamacare
for a litany of woes. But some prominent
conservative experts recognize that the law
has increased coverage, even as they propose other approaches to meet that goal.
Repealing the law without a plausible
plan for replacing it would be a mistake,
said a policy paper from 10 leading GOP
health policy experts, published by the
business-oriented American Enterprise
Institute.
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton
has already previewed how Democrats
might use the issue this fall, frequently

reminding voters they risk losing some


popular benefits if the health care law is
eliminated. Meanwhile, a nonpartisan
analysis of Trumps initial outline for
repealing and replacing the health care law
found it would push millions back into the
uninsured category.
The analysis last week from the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal
Budget found that the Trump plan would
increase the number of uninsured by about
21 million people while costing the government nearly $500 billion over 10 years.
Replacing Obamas law with a conservative alternative that delivers comparable
coverage would require considerable taxpayer dollars, something few Republicans seem
ready to accept.
Any repeal has to have a way to increase
coverage and not just by a few million,
said economist Gail Wilensky, who ran
Medicare under former President George
H.W. Bush.
Obamas law is obviously not the only
way to do thisbut it is important that it
gets done Wilensky added.

CRAB
Continued from page 1
caught crab as early as Saturday morning.
Fish and wildlife officials announced the
season would finally open south of the
Mendocino-Sonoma County line since tests
have shown the popular Dungeness crabs
are no longer tainted by unsafe levels of
domoic acid a neurotoxin linked to a
large algae bloom exacerbated by warmer
waters.
Despite the biggest Thanksgiving and
New Years markets having already passed
since the season failed to kick off in
November, many are hungry for a piece of
this years catch.
Porter McHenry, captain of the Merva W
and president of the Half Moon Bay Seafood
Marketing Association, said hes eager to
put his crew to work and locals are rushing
to get ready after being given just a weeks
notice.
Well probably be sea sick because weve
had so much time off, McHenry said. I
think everybodys itching to go, everybodys been sitting around waiting.
Everybodys excited to put some crab on the
market and its about time.
In typical form, the sport fishermen got a

weeks head start with many venturing out


last weekend. Even pop star Justin Bieber
hailed a ride out of Pillar Point for a little
crabbing courtesy of Tom Mattuschs charter boat the Huli Cat before performing in
the Bay Area last Friday.
But with weather forecasts predicting
rougher seas this coming weekend, not all
might make it out as soon as theyre
allowed.
Jim Salter, captain of the Westerly whos
been fishing out of Pillar Point for 40
years, said smaller boats like his may not
go crabbing until the weather calms down
and, this late in the season, hes not expecting to make a full recovery from the naturally occurring phenomenon.
Youre just trying to cut your losses,
thats all you can do, Salter said after loading pots onto his boat Monday. Domoic is
something thats always been in nature, but
no one has gotten sick from it in
California. But we didnt want someone to
get sick, so thats why we believe in an
abundance of caution.
Jim Anderson, captain of the Allaine and a
local representative on the states
Dungeness Crab Task Force, said the
extremely unusual circumstances clouding
this season makes it hard to predict what
will happen next. Only time will tell how
bountiful the crab is and fishermen still

need to negotiate with buyers over price, he


added.
Even if they fish until the end of season
that runs through June, theres little chance
anyone will be able to make up for the more
than four-month loss.
Theres no way to make up for what we
lost, thats why they went after disaster
money, because we lost that Christmas,
Thanksgiving, Chinese New Year market,
all those times of year are gone, Anderson
said. We traditionally harvest most of our
crab by this point in the year.
In response to the multi-million dollar
industry and thousands whose livelihoods
depend on the season, Gov. Jerry Brown has
asked the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to
declare a fishery disaster.
U.S. Rep Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, and
U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., proposed legislation to appropriate $138.5
million for disaster assistance to California
Dungeness and rock crab fishermen and
related businesses.
But before Congress can vote on the proposed Crab Emergency Disaster Assistance
Act of 2016, the Secretary of Commerce
must first agree to Browns request.
In the meantime, those with businesses
relying on the season can apply for lowinterest loans of up to $2 million through
the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Tuesday March 22, 2016

Anderson noted boat captains, fish buyers


and others who run crab-related businesses
could now find themselves struggling to
staff their operations.
To be this late in the game, its been five
months so a lot of the crew guys had to go
get jobs and if they have a reasonably good
job, with whats been going on with this
opener, it will be interesting to see if they
leave their jobs to go fishing, Anderson
said.
Most who work out of Pillar Point Harbor
rely heavily on crab and salmon seasons to
sustain through the year. As the state is
anticipated to announce cutbacks on
salmon season due to the ongoing drought
drying up rivers that serve as critical habitat, this year could be a double whammy for
fishermen across the state.
If crabbings bad and salmons bad, most
people have those two permits and usually
if one is decent it gets you by, McHenry
said, noting rumors are theres not going to
be a full salmon season either. Whenever
theres time that youre not allowed to fish,
it makes it really tough.
Those interested in buy ing fresh crab
directly off the boat from local fishermen
are encouraged to download the FishLine
App from the iTunes store for info on which
boats are selling.

FEES

during discussions with project developers as well, due to concerns the


influx of new students generated by
new homes and jobs would overwhelm
the existing campus facilities.
To address the issues raised by the
local education community, councilmembers agreed to adopt a policy
suggesting developers meet with education officials to discuss offsetting
costs which the local schools could
incur through expected enrollment
growth.
Papan said she hoped the process
city officials navigate to potentially
boost fees charged to developers could
serve as a model for the local school
district, in the pursuit of a similar initiative.
I would hope they would be looking
at what the city is looking at, so that
we are not recreating the wheel, she
said.
Though existing development rates
are contingent on the size and scope of
the project, a city report indicated

roughly $24 million worth of projects


are required to improve the citys existing transportation infrastructure, to
accommodate expected increased
demand.
During the upcoming meeting, officials will review a variety of other
reports as well, illustrating the potential need to improve water and sewer
utilities, parks and recreation facilities, public safety services and other
public amenities.
Should the council agree, the reports
would be used to guide an update to the
development impact fee schedule,
according to a city report.
Considering
the
construction
expected to take place near the train
station, city staff recommends hiking
the charges paid by developers,
according to a city report.
With the current update of the
Millbrae Station Area Specific Plan,
and the intensification of development
and build-out projections, it is necessary to update the infrastructure fees to
reflect the increased development
demands, according to the report.
Considering the wide variety of
changes to the city which could be
brought on by the developments,
Papan said she hoped councilmembers
would comprehensively
address
impacts on all types of city infrastructure.
The city is more than 60 years old,
she said. If we are not thinking about
everything, then we are being shortsighted.
The Millbrae City Council meets 7
p.m., Tuesday, March 22, in the council chambers, 621 Magnolia Ave.

The countys Planning Commission


finally approved the new application
Oct. 28, 2015, and the Board of
Supervisors approved it 4-1 in
February with Supervisor Dave Pine
voting against it.
Thomas said Monday the lawsuit has
not stopped him from moving forward
on preparing the site for construction.
They are exercising their right to
do so but it has no effect on me one
way or another, Thomas said.
County Counsel John Beiers said
Monday that the county should prevail in the lawsuit.
The county is confident that the
EIR is analytically and legally
sound. The extent of analysis is stunning in its depth and breadth, Beiers
said.
Neighbor John Mathon, however,
said the project will put too many
homes on the hill and that the potential impacts are not being taking seriously.
Mathon is a member of the Baywood
Park HOA who says the potential for
erosion on the hill could impact the

neighborhood in unincorporated San


Mateo County near Interstate 280.
The county is convinced the project is flawless but homes in the area
are already slipping, he said.
Grading the steep slopes and truck
traffic in the area during construction
are other issues of concern, said attorney Ben Brysacz, who represents
Responsible Development for Water
Tank Hill.
The approval is inconsistent with
the countys own general plan related
to building on very steep slopes and
tree protection policies, Brysacz said
Monday.
Air quality, noise and storm water
runoff are other concerns, he said.
In February, Jerry Ozanne, president
of the homeowners group, urged the
board not to support the project, saying the dust and pollution from grading the hill will turn the neighborhood into Beijing, China.
Thomas said grading will take at
least 45 days to complete and that the
first home on the property wont be
constructed for at least two years.

Continued from page 1


Plan was being discussed for approval
by the council, Papan was an outspoken critic of some projects which she
claimed did not give adequate consideration to the citys existing quality of
life.
Councilmembers approved the plan,
which sets policies and regulations for
development in the 116-acre site near
the Millbrae Caltrain and Bay Area
Rapid Transit, or BART, station, last
month.
The approval set the path for at least
two interested developers to formally
submit plans for projects aiming to
build new homes, office buildings and
possibly a hotel near the gateway to
the city from Highway 101.
Republic Urban has shown a desire
to build more than 300 units of housing, roughly 47,000 square feet of
retail space, more than 160,000 square
feet of office space and potentially a
hotel near the BART station.
An affordable housing development
offering 55 units to Millbrae veterans
who served in the armed forces has also
been proposed in a separate project by
Republic Urban.
Vincent Muzzi has expressed interest in redeveloping his 150 Serra Ave.
property into nearly 500 residential
units, 267,000 square feet of offices
and 30,000 square feet of retail space.
Millbrae Elementary School District
officials had requested to be considered

HEIGHTS
Continued from page 1
that the decision to approve an environmental impact report related to the
construction of 19 homes in a subdivision
violates
the
California
Environmental Quality Act.
The group has opposed the project
since it was proposed 15 years ago
based on the hillsides steep terrain
and its history of landslides.
The application first came to the
county in 2002, was refined,
reviewed, refined again and shot down
by
the
countys
Planning
Commission in 2009.
Dennis Thomas, president of San
Mateo Real Estate, Inc., revised the
plan again and resubmitted the application in late 2011. The new plan
reduced the number of homes from 25
to 19 on 13 acres at the northeast corner of Bel Aire Road and Ascension
Drive near the College of San Mateo.

Obama, Castro
speak on human
rights, embargo
By Julie Pace
and Michael Weissenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HAVANA Laying bare a halfcentury of tensions, President


Barack Obama and Cuban
President Raul Castro prodded
each other Monday over human
rights and the longstanding U.S.
economic embargo during an
unprecedented joint news conference that stunned Cubans unaccustomed to their leaders being
aggressively questioned.
The exchanges underscored deep
divisions that still exist between
the two countries despite rapidly
improved relations in the 15
months since Obama and Castro
surprised the world with an
announcement to end their Cold
War-era diplomatic freeze.
Obama, standing in Havanas
Palace of the Revolution on the
second day of his historic visit to
Cuba, repeatedly pushed Castro to

take steps to address his countrys


human rights record.
We continue, as President
Castro indicated, to have some
very serious differences, including
on democracy and human rights,
said Obama, who planned to meet
with Cuban dissidents Tuesday.
Still, Obama heralded a new day
in the U.S.-Cuba relationship and
said part of normalizing relations means we discuss these differences directly.
Castro was blistering in his criticism of the American embargo,
which he called the most important obstacle to his countrys
economic development. He also
pressed Obama to return the
Guantanamo detention center,
which is on the island of Cuba, to
his government.
There are profound differences
between our countries that will not
go away, Castro said plainly.
White House officials spent
weeks pushing their Cuban coun-

on television in Havana, Cuba.
terparts to agree for the leaders to
take questions from reporters after
their private meeting, reaching
agreement just hours before
Obama and Castro appeared before
cameras. Its extremely rare for

Castro to give a press conference,


though he has sometimes taken
questions from reporters spontaneously when the mood strikes.
While the issue of political prisoners is hugely important to

Cuban-Americans and the international community, most people


on the island are more concerned
about the shortage of goods and
their struggles with local bureaucracy.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Its a name that


might better suit a rubber ducky
than an extremely expensive,
state-of-the-art research vessel
designed to explore the coldest
regions on Earth.

vessel because of a public preference for that moniker.
The name has emerged as a
favorite since Britains Natural
Environment Research Council

sought input in naming the new


vessel, urging the public to find an
inspirational name that reflects
the ships mission and celebrates
Britains long naval history.
Spokeswoman Alison Robinson
said Monday the council is
pleased that people are embracing

the idea in a spirit of fun.


She said thousands of names
have been proposed and that many
honored British explorers and
British history. Robinson said the
council will announce the name it
has chosen in due course based
on the criteria it set which that

suggests Boaty McBoatface may


not make the grade even if it gets
the most online backing.
The man who proposed the
name, former BBC radio host
James Hand, told BBC radio he has
apologized profusely for the
controversy created by his jest.
