Who’s Who... in East County

In weather-friendly California, there are numerous advantages to constructing an outdoor living space on your property. Creating an open-air room is undoubtedly a valuable financial and personal investment that increases the value of your home and results in extra space for convening with family and friends. Since 1998, Sun Busters, Inc., of Brentwood has been helping people to embrace the outdoor lifestyle by offering professional, honest, and reliable service.

Sun Busters has a wide array of freestanding or attached pergolas, trellises, and latticework structures to choose from. Additionally, they are skilled with insulated roofing, non-insulated roofing, and louvered roof patio covers. All of their products have a lifetime manufacturer warranty.

Typically, your home is your greatest investment. Should you decide to erect an outdoor haven on your property, the money spent will very likely be returned when you decide to sell. Freestanding or attached structures provide defined space along with shade that appeals to potential buyers; a charming exterior sanctuary is sure to evoke feelings of alfresco relaxation and camaraderie.

Looking for additional square footage for recreation and entertaining? Sun Busters can guide you in creating the outdoor space of your dreams. A properly designed patio cover, trellis or pergola provides increased elbow room to comfortably accommodate you and your guests. No more cramping everyone in a hot and crowded house!

Sun Busters has proudly received several Best of Brentwood and Best of Oakley Awards over the years. Their mission is to continuously meet and exceed the expectations of patrons with expertise and quality customer service. Strong believers in old fashioned core values and integrity, they have you covered!

LAW OFFICES OF JOAN GRIMES

*Important Note: A transfer of real property from a partnership, LLC or corporation to a child does not qualify under this exclusion and the property will be reassessed.

Understanding Prop 13

Next important question: What kinds of property can be transferred under Prop 13?

A common estateplanning question is how to transfer property under Prop 13 either now or after death to a family member without a reassessment of property taxes. Given current real property values in California, a reassessment of the property could cost the family member inheriting the property potentially thousands of dollars in additional property taxes each year. So, what is the law and how can you avoid an unnecessary reassessment under Prop 13?

The general rule is that unless an exclusion applies, the value of real property is reappraised for property tax purposes whenever there is a change in ownership.

So what are the exceptions under Prop 13?

1. Property transferred between spouses or registered domestic partners

A principal residence; and Up to $1 million (assessed value, up to $1 million (assessed value, not fair market value) A commonly overlooked issue is the distribution of property that is being held in a trust. Here is an example: Grantor (person who created the trust i.e. generally the parent) has 3 children and the title to the Grantor’s home is held by the trust.

Additionally, the trust provides that upon the Grantor’s death, all assets in the trust are to be divided equally to the 3 children.

This is a very common provision in many trusts. However, unless, careful planning is untaken, if one child wants to take the property, the property will be reassessed for 2/3 of its value (the property will be reassessed by 2/3 to account for the “sale” by the other 2 children).

2. Parent transfers to children OR children transfers to parent OR grandparent transfers to grandchildren whose deceased parent was the child of the grandparents

This problem can be avoided if the Trust has been carefully crafted. The first way to avoid the reassessment is allow 1) the Trustee to encumber the property before a distribution and 2) for a non pro-rata distribution of assets. Secondly, the

2. Put some copy in your print ad that says something like “bring this ad in for a free gift!” and offer your consumers who come into your store a free gift, and again count how many of the gifts are redeemed.

Return on Ad Spending Your first step will be determining exactly what ROI (return on investment) means to you. Many people use the term but often confuse the meanings. If you’re looking at trying to calculate how much your spending in print advertising translates into sales, you’re technically looking at Return on Ad Spending (ROAS), but the terms are similar enough that many people just use them interchangeably.

Other things to consider are, again, to determine what qualifies as “success” - a lead, a conversion, increased advertising awareness, increased brand awareness, etc.

For simplicity’s sake, assuming that you’re looking at increased store traffic as your measure of success, here are some things you can do to calculate your “ROI”:

Another common provision is for the children have the “right” to purchase the property interest from their other siblings (ie one child can “buy-out” his or her siblings). Unfortunately, this provision will not avoid the reassessment. To ensure that the Trustee can distribute the property to the intended child and protect against reassessment, the Trust documents must contain sufficient trustee powers to allow the Trustee to engage in the necessary transactions prior to the transfer of the property.

Avoidance of reassessment is a very complicated area of the law. If you currently have a trust and it is your intention that one or more of your family members will be applying for exclusion to reappraisal, I would suggest a review of your Trust by an attorney to ensure your wishes can be achieved.

It takes a long time for the total audience for a monthly magazine to accumulate, meaning that a print ad that you run in June could have effects on your store traffic and sales for two or three months down the line as it gets passed around and new people are exposed to the ad.

Best of luck to you!

3. Assuming you’re not doing any other advertising, you can calculate your average monthly store traffic prior to the start of your print campaign, then calculate it during your campaign, and then after your print campaign is over, so you can get a sense of how much the print impacts your traffic.

4. You can have your store employees ask each customer who comes into the store “How did you hear about us?” and then calculate how many of them say “from The Grapevine ad.”

With these increased measures in store traffic, you can also, of course, calculate your increase in sales/basket-size to determine the effect on sales.

Remember with print (specifically with magazines), it is a very slow-build medium.

1. Put a coupon in your print ads and have

reassessment can be avoided if the Trust provides for a specific distribution of the property to the intended child.

TIMELY FEATURE

Delta Diablo

Delta Diablo operates one of the largest industrial recycled water plants in California, as well as, the Delta Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, which serves all of East Contra Costa County.

In July 2017, the National Association of Clean Water Agencies recognized them with a Platinum Peak Performance Award. Delta Diablo is committed to safeguarding and enhancing the environment of the communities they serve.

The Season of Thanksgiving is fast approaching and as families plan for special dinners and celebrations it is also time to remember how our actions impact our community and environment.

For instance, some homeowners may be surprised to know that one of the main causes of sewer blockage is grease poured down the drain from mouthwatering dishes such as gravy, butter sautéed vegetables, deep-fried turkey and more.

paper towel over the drain basket as you pour the water down the drain.

• Bring your FOG container, along with large quantities of oil from turkey fryers to your local Household Hazardous Waste collection center for FREE disposal and recycling.

Following are some tips to keep your plumbing, local sewers and the Bay-Delta free from blockages this holiday season and throughout the year.

• Never pour fats, oil or grease down sink drains or into toilets.

• Do not dispose of fats, oils or grease in regular garbage or trash receptacles.

Residential sewer and kitchen drain blockages are caused by a build up of fats, oils and grease (called FOG in the pollution prevention business). Also, raw sewage overflows pose harmful health risks and back-ups can require residents to pay for expensive clean up that lead to higher sewer repair bills due to the need to clear sewer lines in the street.

Delta Diablo is dedicated to protecting the environment and providing quality wastewater treatment to its customers.

• When cooled, put used cooking oil into the original container for disposal.

• Home garbage disposals do NOT keep grease out of plumbing systems.

• Scrape grease and food scraps from plates, pots, pans, utensils, and grills into a can or heat proof container.

•

When soaking a greasy pan, place a
