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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-886382-AB. 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 website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-886382-AB to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

22 | WWW.THEPRESS.NET Deputy from page 1 nounced dead at the scene.
The incident began around 9:30 a.m. when Gauthier, after completing another service call in the area, noticed Ridgeway in the front yard of a property on Adelaide Drive. The deputy was familiar with Ridgeway after having completed an assignment in the county’s detention facility. The report indicates that there were no negative interactions between the two men prior to the shooting. At the time of the incident, Gauthier was aware that Ridgeway had an outstanding warrant in Yolo County that was issued when Ridgeway skipped a sentencing hearing.
Ridgeway was facing an expected sixyear prison sentence after he fled from police and led them on a chase that reached speeds of 120 mph. Two people close to Ridgeway said in police interviews that he was determined not to return to prison and that he said he would kill himself before he would return to prison.
“If the cops ran up on Ridgeway, he was going to do suicide by gunfire,” said a friend of Ridgeway during his interview with police investigators.
Gauthier parked around the corner and walked toward the residence where he had seen Ridgeway. As the deputy turned the corner, the two men nearly ran into one another. The DA’s report states that Ridgeway reached into his waistband and began to run. Gauthier quickly caught him and wrapped his arms around him. The two fell to the street and began to struggle.
Instead, Ridgeway drew a Daewoo 9 mm handgun and fired at Gauthier. Gauthier returned fire, killing Ridgeway. When investigators arrived on scene, the handgun was still in Ridgeway’s hand, and his index finger was on the trigger.
“I know that some people think their son walks on water, I am not that mom,” said Ridgeway’s mother during an interview with police investigators after the shooting. “I know my son. I know that one of his friends said, ‘Why couldn’t the cop have shot him in the leg?’ Well excuse me. Our son had a gun. I’m not an idiot. So what’s the cop going to do – stand there and get shot? No. It is what it is.”
Ridgeway’s girlfriend, who is not identified in the report, was a witness to the incident. She gave police a different account of the shooting. She told police that Gauthier threw Ridgeway to the ground and shot him. She was unsure if Ridgeway returned fire, but acknowledged that he was armed.
The report concluded that her account of the incident was not credible and was not supported by the evidence. In addition to the physical evidence, the report points to conflicting statements made by the witness, her relationship with Ridgeway and two notes found in Ridgeway’s wallet. One was characterized as a suicide note addressed to the witness, while the second was referred to as a self-written obituary.
A press release issued by the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff at the time of the shooting noted that Ridgeway had an extensive history of contact with the police for a wide variety of criminal activity. It was also noted that he was a confirmed member of the Family Affiliated Irish Mafia and an associate of the Nazi Low Riders, both of which are white supremacist prison and street gangs. A friend of Ridgeway told police that Ridgeway had turned over a new leaf by publishing several books. However, he added that Ridgeway’s last book, published three months before his death, was essentially a “big suicide note.”
The DA’s report concluded, “The evidence shows that Contra Costa County Sheriff Deputy Matthew Gauthier acted in what he actually and reasonably believed to be self-defense and defense of others. The examined evidence does not support the contention that the shooting of Ridgeway was criminal.”

Con Fire from page 1 to exist as an entity if the annexation process is allowed to flow through to completion.
“(The ECCFPD Board of Directors) would like some more time to work on the resolution of application language to ensure that we both have what is considered substantially similar language, which is important to the LAFCO process,” Broschard said. “In addition, they’re looking to have a better understanding of the impacts to their employees as a result of annexation before moving.”
Con Fire’s resolution was also complicated after the Rodeo-Hercules Fire District (RHFD) was removed from the proposed annexation effort.
Annexation discussion started last year between Con Fire and the ECCFPD. As those discussions progressed, the RHFD was added to the action. However, residents of that district voiced strong opposition to annexation with Con Fire, and the RHFD component of the effort was recently dropped. Excluding the RHFD required changes to the LAFCO application have yet to be made.
“As you know, we did remove Rodeo-Hercules from the resolution and from the current annexation process,” Broschard said. “We did not have the time to make any amendments to the service plan document, which was started well over three weeks ago and is a substantial document. So this will give us some time to go in and amend that document ahead of the September meeting as well.”
The Con Fire board is expected to take the issue up at its next meeting scheduled for Sept. 14.
Annexation with Con Fire has long been viewed as a means to improve fire and rescue services in East County. Persistent funding challenges created by the peculiarities of Proposition 13 have plagued the ECCFPD since its formation in 2002. Several attempts to improve funding with tax measures have failed over the years. A recent effort to gain support for a benefit assessment was beginning to show signs of promise after the district waged a campaign to raise public awareness of its funding problems. However, the economic challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic likely erased any hope of passing a new tax measure for at least the foreseeable future.
In previous comments made to The Press, Contra Costa County District 3 Supervisor Diane Burgis expressed her belief that annexation will be approved. The county’s board of supervisors also serves as board of directors for Con Fire.
As of press time, the ECCFPD board was scheduled to consider a similar resolution during its Wednesday, Aug. 11 meeting. It is unknown at this time if ECCFPD board discussion will be tabled until after the Con Fire board makes a decision on its resolution. The next ECCFPD board meeting is scheduled for Sept. 8, which precedes the next Con Fire board meeting. In that event, they could convene a special board meeting to avoid delaying a decision until October.

Director from page 1 communities that the DBC can look to, whether it’s Livermore, Pleasanton, Martinez — those that have really good revitalization programs — the DBC becomes a member and has them as a resource in their toolkit to understand what other members are doing to support small business, revitalize the downtown,” said Joshua Ewen, a city of Brentwood senior analyst.
One of the key requirements of accreditation is hiring a full-time director for the organization, which the DBC has already launched.
The city of Brentwood has agreed to contribute up to $190,000 total over the next three fiscal years to fund the position, in the belief it will become a selfsustaining position.
“From the city’s perspective, we see the investment in the director as someone who is advocating for businesses and really pushing the program forward,” Ewen said. “When I say ‘pushing the program forward,’ I mean they will take social media to the next step. They will talk about how you entice people into the downtown every weekend at events, and bring the businesses along so they can have a say in that process.”
DBC leaders, who now must juggle their own businesses while running the organization and the various community events it puts on every year, have high hopes for the future full-time director.
Some of the director’s expected duties include supporting the organization’s current member businesses; serving as a liaison between current and future downtown businesses and the city; coordinating the organization’s various yearly community events; expanding the organization’s boundaries; increasing its membership base; and creating synergy between the downtown businesses, the city and the DBC.
“This is our opportunity to bring our best going forward,” said DBC President Pete Jacoway.
Bloomfield, the organization’s vice president, agrees.
The DBC launched amid the 2008 recession, when the area’s occupancy rate was around 50%. At that time, the organization’s Oktoberfest celebration consisted of two kegs of beer, Bloomfield remembered.
Today, the downtown area’s building occupancy rate is generally above 90%; area sidewalks are routinely bustling, especially in the evenings; and in 2019 the Oktoberfest celebration sold 72 kegs of beer. The organization also now holds at least six other yearly events, including Brides Day Out, a pub crawl, a craft beer fest, a winter wine stroll and Shop Small Saturday, an annual nationwide event held the Saturday after Thanksgiving as a smallbusiness equivalent of Black Friday.
The downtown sales tax generated in 2019 was the highest ever, rising 230% since the organization’s launch in 2008, Ewen added.
But city and downtown business leaders agree that the best could be yet to come.
