It's a bird; it's a plane, it's...what is that? If you've happened to be near the Hollister Municipal Airport and have seen a strange plane/flying car/ something else, you may be one of the few to lay eyes on Kitty Hawk's ultra-secret self-piloting flying taxi, Cora. “After almost eight

years of exploring new frontiers, we had built the aircraft we had been dreaming of: Cora,” Kitty Hawk said in a press release, “an electric, autonomous fully fledged air taxi that takes off like a helicopter and flies like a plane. The first step to a world where the freedom of flight belongs to everyone.” Kitty Hawk, founded by Google co-founder Larry Page, got off the ground in 2014 with the help of a $100 million loan from Page's deep pockets. From testing

grounds in New Zealand, all the way to Hollister. Cora can seat two people, travel up to 110 mph and reach altitudes of 500 to 3,000 feet. According to documents released by Kitty Hawk, Cora can fly as far as 62 miles. “After almost eight years of engineering, reengineering, and re-reengineering, we had done it,” read a statement from the company’s website. “We had designed an air taxi...that could take off like a helicopter and SNEAK PEAK The top secret Cora drone taxi ➝ Mysteries, 6

Personal use of cannabis is legal in California, but it’s still difficult to obtain in many cities and counties. Soon that may change. On Dec. 11, the California Bureau of Cannabis Affairs introduced new rules and regulations, including access to unrestricted cannabis, despite city or county laws that currently ban it. The final decision is not up to the state's Office of Administrative Law, who is expected to hand down a ruling within 30 days. Proposition 64, approved by the state’s voters in 2016, left it up to local governments to regulate production, sale and distribution of cannabis. Faced with bans and restrictions in many localities, some entrepreneurs have started lucrative cannabis delivery services, offering doorto-door delivery products from legal business in one locale to place where cultivation, sale—and deliveries—are banned by local governments. Cannabis industry advocates have complained about the restrictions on cannabis delivery, citing the lack of availability of legal cannabis for many Californians. A new state law set to

County crop reports are mixed VALUE OF LIVESTOCK, PASTURE UP, VEGETABLES DOWN Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

San Benito County continues to be one of the top five producing counties in California of specialty vegetable crops, spinach, lettuces and salad mix products. The 2017 Crop and

Livestock Report, prepared annually by county Agriculture Commissioner Karen Overstreet, offered a very mixed set of production results, with overall production down 4 percent. The county is required by law to produce this report. “The economic impact of production agriculture to our local economy is much greater than the gross production value detailed in this report,” said Karen

Overstreet, county agriculture commissioner. “It is a fundamental, and an often unidentified fact that agriculture provides additional value well beyond the $351 million dollars in gross product sales to San Benito County’s economy.” “Labor, logistics and traffic are beginning to hinder the industry,” she said in the report. “We will learn more about these effects over the next few years to come.” San Benito Countu’s

agricultural industry produces a variety of commodities, including numerous specialty vegetable crops, fruits, nuts, choice beef and quality wine grapes. In 2017, the overall value of the county’s agricultural decreased by 4 percent from 2016, down $13.8 million, from $365.1 million to $351.3 million, with the biggest decrease in vegetable and row crops, down more then $20 million.

The value of one other relatively small category for San Benito County, livestock and poultry, was down more than 60 percent, to $994,000. The value of other agricultural production categories—field crops, fruits and nuts and cattle, increased in 2017. The year saw average yields in most commodities, Overstreet reported.

two in overall production value and broccoli/ broccolette made the list at number seven. Both increases were primarily due to an increase in acreage. More and more land is being committed to leafy greens and miscellaneous baby greens available to consumers in bags at the market. A lower return in many cases was seen in the boxed commodity market. Cattle prices maintained all year and were up slightly compared to 2016. Producers held onto to an average

number of replacements to rebuild their herds. Overstreet reported that 2017 was a good year for tree crops as yields were up. Cherries had a good crop after enduring consecutive poor years due to weather. In general, fruit bearing trees had a great yielding year with superb size and quality. Walnut yields were consistent and the quality was slightly better yet still a little below normal. Apricot harvest results were substantially higher in 2017 than 2016, more than 46 percent, to $2.4 million.

Walnut prices dropped significantly again for the third year in a row. Wine grape yields were off slightly and prices were pretty much even. This year growers experienced a great amount pressure from the production standpoint. Wine grapes are the county’s biggest fruit crop, $27.6 million in 2017, and $31 million in 2016. The figures in the county ag report do not represent net profit to the producers. The figures are also periodically averaged and or rounded in the process to achieve the end value.

Protestors seek to ‘shut down’ ICE

DECEMBER 20 DEMONSTRATION A RESPONSE TO UNFAIR DETENTIONS, ACTIVISTS SAY Michael Moore Editor

Michael Moore

Area immigration attorneys, activists, public officials, clergy members and residents gathered outside the federal immigration office in Morgan Hill Dec. 20 to protest recent reports of “inhumane” treatment of detainees, and to demand the facility be shut down. The protestors also wanted to send the message that residents can support the Rapid Response Network of Santa Clara County, a community of activists and attorneys that works to provide immigration detainees with legal counsel and ensure their rights are upheld. They urged their fellow protestors to “report ICE activity” by calling the response network at (408) 290-1144. Immigration attorney Dorothy Ma described an incident earlier this month when an immigrant detained by officers with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency was denied due process while forced to sit in a van outside the Morgan Hill field office on Vineyard Court before he was transported to a processing center in San Francisco. ICE officers refused to allow Ma to consult with the client because the field office does not provide a secure meeting area for attorneys or other visitors,

said Ma, a staff attorney for the organization Amigos de Guadalupe. An ICE supervising officer told her the client was sitting outside in a van while agents arrested more immigrants to fill the vehicle with more people to be processed in San Francisco, Ma said. The case came to Ma’s attention when the detained immigrant’s mother called her office immediately after ICE officers arrested him. Ma traveled to the Morgan Hill facility that morning to provide “field representation” for the man, even though she was ultimately denied. Ma estimated the man, who is a recipient of the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, sat inside the van for at least five hours before he was finally transported for processing. During this time, he was denied legal representation while ICE set his bail amount and served him with documents to initiate deportation proceedings. “It is absolutely crucial during this window of time for us to be able to speak with the client, because the clients who are detained and have representation fare better at every stage of the immigration process,” Ma said. “Because there was no secure area (at the Morgan Hill ICE field office), I couldn’t advocate for him for a very important stage.” She added that the constitutional right to due process is not supposed to be delayed or withheld due to the detainee’s custody location. “The right to counsel starts immediately” after arrest, Ma explained.

SON OF IMMIGRANTS Dorothy Ma (holding microphone), staff attorney for Amigos de Guadalupe, speaks in

front of a crowd of protesters Dec. 20 at the Morgan Hill field office of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency...

“If they can’t provide basic legal and safety rights here, then this center shouldn’t be existing,” Ma said at the podium Dec. 20 outside the ICE office, in front of about 30 protestors. ICE spokesman Richard Rocha said in response to a request for comment, “The ICE office in Morgan Hill is solely administrative space and does not have space to process or detain individuals, nor is it set up to offer attorney or family visits. ICE routinely stops at the Morgan Hill office to allow detainees an opportunity to use the restroom en route to other permanent ICE facilities where full access to attorneys is provided.” Protestors at the Dec. 20 event held signs with giant letters written in magic marker: “SHUT IT DOWN!” and “We demand due process!” among them.

The protest occurred amid growing nationwide concern over federal immigration enforcement practices under President Donald Trump’s administration. Mentioned at the Dec. 20 demonstration was a 7-year-old girl who died last week in federal agents’ custody after she illegally crossed the U.S. border with her father. Some of those present at the Dec. 20 protest demonstrated in previous protests against ICE outside the Morgan Hill office, which has been at its current location on Vineyard Court since 2016. Mayor Rich Constantine was one of the speakers at the Dec. 20 protest. “I’m here to tell you that the city of Morgan Hill (and) the Morgan Hill Police Department do not condone the actions that are being…perpetrated” by ICE,

Constantine began. “I don’t blame the men and women who work for ICE, but their job is being dictated…by this administration. The actions of this administration have made it difficult for this country to fulfill its constitutional rights.” Constantine explained that his parents are immigrants from Jamaica. “They came here the same reason all immigrants come here—because they wanted a better life. And that is what this country was founded on,” he said. The mayor urged the assembled protestors to continue to peacefully resist inhumane immigration policies, by calling their elected representatives and spreading the word. Also speaking at the Dec. 20 protest were Amigos de Guadalupe Executive Director Maritza Maldonado, Advent Lutheran Church

Pastor Anita Warner and Rapid Response Network Attorney Coordinator Luis Angel Reyes Savalza. Savalza said at least 15 Mexican nationals have been arrested by ICE agents in Santa Clara County so far in the month of December. These immigrants are often “picked up” by ICE officers while on their way to work. “We know these things because we have a network, to ensure due process is protected for everyone,” Savalza said. “ICE officers have categorically denied their right to counsel, a constitutional right for citizens and non-citizens.” Like other activists present, Savalza implored the crowd to call the network’s hotline any time they see ICE activity in their community. “This is the first step: exposing what ICE is doing,” he said.

FOR SAKE’S SAKE Plenty people know about San Benito County’s wine industry, but since 1979 Ozeki Sake U.S.A. has been producing millions of liters of high-quality sake in Hollister.

Aside from Page, Google roots run deep in Kitty Hawk. CEO Sebastian Thrun founded the research-and-development “moonshot factory” Google X, which operates as a subsidiary of Google parent Alphabet Inc., as well as Google’s self-driving car team. The self-driving technology is a vital piece to ensuring the project’s safety. Still, Kitty Hawk remains tight-lipped about the project, preferring to release murky statements online rather than open its hangar bay doors for the public to take a look at Cora, understandable considering that Kitty Hawk thinks Cora will lead a transportation revolution that will open the skies to everyday people. Will Hollister become part of American aviation history, making it the Kitty Hawk of the West Coast? That is to be seen, but we will keep our eyes trained to the sky and ears to the pavement in search of answers.

It's been a big year for cannabis in San Benito County. Recently the San Benito Board of Supervisors voted to allow the commercial cannabis industry to open in the unincorporated county, opening up hundreds of acres for cultivation, manufacturing and distribution. One

key component necessary for the cannabis industry, testing laboratories, will come to town with High Sierra Analytics opens its doors. "Everyone kept asking when we're going to open," High Sierra Analytics CEO and founder Thomas Gromis said. "I kept telling them, 'When we get it right.'" When voters passed Proposition 64 in the 2016 general election, cannabis legalization came with additional rules, including testing. Testing labs not only determine potency but make sure pot doesn't contain pesticides, harmful microbes or mold. Other testing requirements were set to go into effect on Jan. 1, and tests may cost anywhere from $700 to $1,000. "I didn't want to get into growing; that seemed like a race to the bottom. I don't want to chase margins and cut corners just to get by," Gromis said. "I looked at the regulations and the people who were getting into testing, and nobody wanted to touch the lab stuff because the regulations were pretty daunting." For Gromis, a Fresno native, finding a nearby city or municipality that would allow for a testing lab proved difficult. After spending two years obtaining permits, a location and equipment, he's ready to open for testing this month in Hollister. Given the warm welcome High Sierra Analytics got from Hollister as it prepares for business, Gromis hopes to offer discounts as a way to help galvanize local business. ➝ Mysteries, 8

New businesses thrive in Hollister

Gromis will look beyond Hollister, however, serving cannabis businesses within 50 miles. "We'd like to offer some lower rates here for everyone who's getting in early and work as an incubator to help this community grow," Gromis said. The cannabis testing business requires precise record keeping, and the California Bureau of Cannabis Control can audit a lab's records at any time. Security is tight at High Sierra Analytics headquarters at 1851 Airway Drive, with guards, gates, cameras and 24-hour access to police. Given what happened at Sequoia Analytical Labs in Sacramento, a testing lab recently shut down for falsifying results, the need to hire chemists and lab assistants can be an arduous task. If you're looking for a laid-back pot job, this isn't the place. Think lab coats, not tie-dye. “We’re really a fan of OCD people here,” Gromis said. “Our records are extremely important.”

Highway to Hollister

Not long ago, hitting a highway to Hollister wasn't on Peter Lago's radar. But the motorcycle lover was on a pilgrimage to Hollister to visit the iconic Johnny's Bar and Grill when something clicked. After nearly a year negotiating with the old owners, Lago became the owner of one of the county's most iconic biker bars, also one of the rowdiest joints in town. “It’s a dive bar full of history,” Lago said. “But there

CANNABIS TESTING High Sierra Analytics founder Thomas Gromis checks equipment at his Hollister laboratory. are mechanical aspects of the bar that needed to be repaired, like the plumbing and the refrigerators. The theme does not need to change much. We changed a few things around the bar, but I consider myself a custodian of history.” Finalizing the purchase of the bar was a bumpy ride for Lago. It took months of financial wrangling with former owner Cherisse

Tyson to iron out all the details. A formal key handover celebration on Jan. 1, 2018 proved premature, as the sale became final on April 1. “Initially the purchase price was $500,000, which at the time, I thought included the building,” Lago said. “It was a big part of the deal and a large assumption to make on my part. I

assumed that it was all included based on the condition of the bar. Eventually, we settled on $250,000 for the bar with $50,000 up front.”

From east to the west

Many people wouldn't guess that the sake they enjoy with their sushi doesn't come from as far away as they think it might. In fact, Ozeki Sake

U.S.A. has been producing about four million liters of sake a year in the heart of Hollister with $12 million in sales. That's a lot of sake, and it's a good reason to say “Kanpai!” Brewing sake at Ozeki Sake U.S.A. is not an easy labor of love for managers Yoji Ogawa and Manabu Kotake, who are both on six-year rotations in Hollister from Japan. The

fruits of their labor and that of 25 to 30 other workers are sent all over the country, and to Europe, South America, Canada and Korea. One reason why Ozeki decided to come to Hollister was for its clean water. Ozeki Sake U.S.A. uses 12 million gallons of water every year, racking up a $20,000 water bill every month.

Cities may fight cannabis deliveries Cannabise, 1

File photo

go into effect in January may put the state on a potential collision course with local ordinances and the League of California Cities may challenge the new delivery rules, but without a clearcut definition of what the Office of Administrative Law will decide, what actions they may take is unclear. "It's hard to know until we know for sure," said League of California Cities Communications Specialist Adrienne Sprenger. While many cities and counties have enacted ordinances that ban cannabis delivery, Alex Traverso the Assistant Chief of Communications Bureau of Cannabis Control contends that state law prevents the banning of cannabis delivery. "Our belief is that statewide delivery is already the law and locals cannot prevent it," Traverso said in an email. According to the new California Business and Profession Code, "A local jurisdiction shall not prevent delivery of cannabis or cannabis products on public roads by a licensee acting in compliance with this division and local law as adopted under Section 26200." “Nothing is settled regarding delivery until the Office of Administrative Law officially

NEW INDUSTRY? San Benito County supervisors paved the way for a new agricultural industry, shown here—cannabis. approves our final regulations,” Traverso said in an email. “This should happen early in January.” For Gilroy Mayor Roland Velasco the potential new ruling on cannabis delivery would undercut the city's ability to decide on its own what to do about cannabis.

"I think it's another example of Sacramento taking away power from local government," Velasco said. Questions about the legality of the delivery businesses in July prompted the state Bureau of Cannabis Control to the new rule to enable licensed cannabis delivery businesses to

offer delivery services everywhere, despite local restrictions. Until the rule goes into effect, all cannabis deliveries are still illegal in many places, including Morgan Hill, Gilroy and unincorporated San Benito County. Ironically, despite the delivery bans, the cities and counties must allow

cannabis delivery services to use state highways and local roads even if they can’t make deliveries to the areas they’re driving through, according to the state. In Hollister, which has begun regulating some cannabis businesses, city cannabis affairs manager Maria Mendez says cannabis

delivery would be possible for medical cannabis delivered by a permitted dispensary with a storefront. Delivery-only cannabis services are not allowed. Because no dispensaries, medical or recreational, are currently open in Hollister, no delivery services are available at this time.

Saint Louise gets good marks in report STUDY OF QUALITY OF CARE WAS ORDERED BY BANKRUPTCY COURT Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor

A final decision has not yet been made whether the county will continue to contract for hospital and intensive care physicians with San Jose Medical Group, which is part of Verity Medical Foundation. The hospital’s Electronic Medical Record system “remains a systemwide problem that limits the organization from performing well ... despite their efforts at providing quality patient care,” the report said. Saint Louise does not have a computerized physician order entry system to elicit and extract information to accurately demonstrate appropriate care to outside accreditation and monitoring organizations. Psychiatry and neurology are lacking for the inpatient cases. Rubin stated that although a peer review system was changed systemwide, Saint. Louise “does a great job of monitoring its physicians.” The hospital’s accreditation report was reviewed, and revealed several plant management issues “that were of low likelihood to cause harm with corrective action.” All the findings were corrected, or at least a plan of action was deemed acceptable by the accreditation commission. Saint Louise got a C grade from hospital safety grade.org for the fall of 2018, the spring of 2015, fall of 2015, spring of 2016, fall 2016, spring of 2017 and fall of 2017, and a D grade for the spring of 2018.

In Saint Louise Regional Hospital, Santa Clara County will be buying a hospital in need of some improved computer resources, but with a dedicated, quality staff providing adequate care. That’s the view of a special ombudsman appointed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to conduct a required assessment of the quality of care provided by the hospital during its period of protection under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. “The general milieu of the hospital during our time spent showed administration’s significant dedication to the hospital, and the patients they serve,” concluded Jacob Nathan Rubin, the courtappointed ombudsman. The bankruptcy judge on Dec. 19 was expected to approve the purchase of the Gilroy hospital, along with O’Connor Hospital of San Jose by the county from Verity Health System. Santa Clara County was the sole bidder, at $235 million. The ombudsman’s Dec. 10 report, filed Dec. 14, is required by law to ensure continuing acceptable patient care. The report gives a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a local hospital.

safety grades for Saint Louise were related to the “inadequate electronic medical record requirements.” Rubin said this includes their absence of a computerized physician order entry system. “Despite the lack of a computerized physician order entry system and suboptimal electronic medical records, Saint Louise was able to perform adequately in significant patient care areas.”

Any information obtained may be used for that purpose. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 730-2727 for

information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site - www. servicelinkASAP.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: 141431. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. A-4679026 12/21/2018, 12/28/2018, 01/04/2019 (PUB HF 12/21, 12/28, 1/4)

CHOKING THE COMPETITION Albert Rodriguez, a San Benito High senior, has goals to win a league championship and make the podium in the Central Coast Section Championships. Rodriguez is also a standout football player and will play lacrosse in the spring sports season. WRESTLING

Last shot on the mat RODRIGUEZ ON A MISSION TO HAVE HIS BEST SEASON YET IN SENIOR YEAR emanuel lee Sports Editor

Riding momentum

Rodriguez is coming off a solid junior season in which he finished as the runner-up in the Gabilan Division 220 pound weight class. Through Dec. 14, Rodriguez was ranked No. 10 in the CCS in his division. Ryan Enciso of Gilroy and Nathan Fernandez of Monte Vista Christian were Nos. 3 and 4, respectively, meaning Rodriguez has his work cut out for him if he plans on getting his arm raised in the league championship match. However, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Rodriguez win the title. He’s one of the more agile and athletic 220 pounders in the section, and moves like wrestlers one or two weight classes below him. He scored on an escape in the second period and then produced a reversal in the final period in the third-place match in the Morningstar Invitational. In addition to his conditioning, Rodriguez noted he needed to improve other aspects of his game as well.

Chris Mora

After a third-place finish in the Morningstar Invitational in Los Banos on Dec. 15, Albert Rodriguez realized he needed to make a dramatic improvement in one area of the sport: conditioning. Rodriguez watched the video of his semifinal match that he lost, and his lack of conditioning was glaring. “I got tired later in the match and then got pinned in the third round,” the San Benito High senior said. “I think I should’ve done a little better, but I wasn’t conditioned enough. That is something I’m going to work on so it doesn’t happen again.” Competing in the 220pound division, Rodriguez did rebound after the semifinal loss in Los Banos to win the third-place match, 3-1. If Rodriguez’s conditioning and cardio become a strength, he’ll most likely find himself atop a podium later in the season in the Pacific Coast League Finals and Central Coast Section Tournament. That’s because unlike last year when Rodriguez had trouble cutting weight to be at 220, this year he’s a lighter 220 and expects to enter the important tournaments fresh, both mentally and physically. “I’m 215 pounds now (as of

Dec. 18), and I feel comfortable where I’m at,” he said. “Last year I had to drop weight too fast, and it wasn’t the right way to do it. Instead of going into CCS healthy and more energized, I was really tired.” Despite a big weight cut prior to the tournament, Rodriguez still managed to go 3-2. This season Rodriguez said he won’t have to resort to drastic measures to make weight. That means Rodriguez should come into every tournament fresh and ready to give his best performance. “I feel healthy and now it’s a matter of getting my endurance up,” he said.

ON TOP Balers senior Albert Rodriguez looks to follow up a solid junior season with a strong senior year. The 220

pounder combines athleticism and strength to score points. He entered the season ranked No. 6 in his weight class. “I need to work on my top (game) breaking my opponents down,” he said. “I have some trouble keeping them down and flat on their stomach.” In the Gabilan Division 220 pound title match last season, Rodriguez lost by a point, a tough ending to a solid tournament run. “That was heartbreaking for me,” he said. “Once we face them in a dual, I’m going to ask to face him.” Rodriguez, who had another stellar season playing linebacker on the football team, has an

entirely different mindset when it comes to wrestling. “Wrestling is a one-on-one thing and the outcome is all on you,” he said. “In football, I have to make sure every single one of my teammates are in the right position and know what they’re doing.” The similarity in both sports—and all sports, for that matter—takes place in the mental side of things. “I don’t want to put my head down when I’m sad because I don’t want my teammates to see that,” he said. “Win or lose, I

want to keep my head up.” Rodriguez has come a long way in a short amount of time. He only started wrestling in the eighth grade and has made incremental improvement every year. Although Rodriguez wishes he started the sport earlier, he is content in the fact that he has worked hard and gave it his all in a sport that demands discipline. Rodriguez and some of his teammates will compete in the Apple Cider Invitational in Watsonville on Saturday, a great tournament for wrestlers to gauge their progress since the beginning of the season.

Pediatric hospitalists will also be on hand to provide onsite consultative services to attending medical staff and ER physicians and to help stabilize patients in emergency situations. Good Samaritan Hospital’s neonatology group has, for many years, been assisting HHMH with the stabilization and transport of high-risk newborns, and supported physicians with telephone consultations. “We have a long-standing relationship with Hazel Hawkins, built over the last 10 to 15 years, and this is the next step,” said Dr. Richard Powers, MEDNAX affiliated neonatologist and Chief of Staff at Good Samaritan Hospital. HHMH pursued a partnership with Pediatrix due to the need for full-time pediatric support at the hospital. Currently most pediatricians in Hollister have established office-based practices and cannot staff the hospital. “Pediatrix has a history and national reputation for providing excellent care to newborns and children,” said Ken Underwood, HHMH CEO. “This partnership will bring experience and vital support to our top-tier Women’s Center and ER, and to children admitted to Hazel Hawkins Hospital”

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

The Contractors receive water service in exchange for paying all costs that are associated with constructing, operating, and maintaining State Water Project facilities and that are attributable to water supply. The Water Supply Contracts are required to be substantially uniform with respect to their basic terms and conditions for all 29 Contractors. The Water Supply Contracts originally included 75-year terms with ending dates that

ranged from November 4, 2035 to August 31, 2042, depending on when each specific Water Supply Contract was executed. Article 4 of the Water Supply Contracts provides that the Contractors, by written notice to the Department at least six (6) months prior to the end of the term of the particular Water Supply Contract in question (as specified in Article 2), may elect to receive continued service under the Water Supply Contracts under certain conditions. In accordance with Article 4, the Department initiated a process to amend the Water Supply Contracts in order to maintain the financial integrity of the State Water Project. On December 11, 2018, the Department’s Director approved the “Amendments for Continued Service and the Terms and Conditions Thereof,” referred to herein as the Contract Extension Amendments. The Contract Extension Amendments extend the terms of the Water Supply Contracts to 2085, and amend other financial provisions in the Contracts to ensure that the State Water Project is properly managed and financed. A model form of the Contract Extension Amendments is attached to the Department’s validation complaint as Exhibit A. The Department brought this validation action to confirm the legality and validity of the Contract Extension Amendments and the proceedings related thereto. The validation complaint, the accompanying exhibit, and a copy of this Summons are available on the Department’s internet website. Attorneys for the Department, identified below, also can be contacted to obtain these documents. YOU MAY SEEK THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY IN ANY MATTER CONNECTED WITH THE COMPLAINT OR THIS SUMMONS.
