be held in this court as follows: a. Date: October 1, 2020 Time: 9:00 a.m. Dept: 30.

b. Address of court: 725 Court Street, Martinez, CA 94553. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If

you are a creditor or a contingent creditor

of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and

legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by

the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

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.

Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE 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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource. com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/ TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2012-03182. 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.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Brentwood will, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the normal course of business permits on August 25, 2020, hold a public hearing to consider the following:

An application for a two-year time extension for a vesting tentative subdivision map (VTSM 9452-A1) to subdivide two existing parcels consisting of 29.19 acres into 140 active adult single-family duet residential lots and nine parcels related to public open space, clubhouse, and private street improvements; and a design review (DR 17-002-A1) to allow for the construction of four active adult single-family duet house plans, each with one elevation on the 140 lots. The project is located east of Vineyards Parkway and south of Marsh Creek Road (APNs 007-380-002 and -003). The City Council previously certified the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the Vineyards at Marsh Creek Project (SCH 2003062019) in April 2004. The 1,100-unit single-family, active adult Trilogy at the Vineyards community was included within the scope and analyses contained in the EIR, in that mitigation measures are incorporated in the current project design to reduce any impacts to less than significant levels. The City prepared an Initial Study/Addendum to the Vineyards at Marsh Creek EIR for the Cowell Ranch project to evaluate impacts and mitigation measures at the project level. The proposed project is consistent with the previously certified EIR, with no new significant impacts and requires no further environmental review. The requested extensions of time for VTSM 9452 and DR 17-002 involve no (1) substantial changes in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was adopted, that shows that (A) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR; (B) significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous MND would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Therefore, per 14 CCR § 15162, no additional environmental review is necessary for the requested extensions at this time. On July 7, 2020, the Planning Commission held a pubic hearing to consider the request- ed time extension, and recommended that it be approved by the City Council. The City Council will take final action. Applicant: Brentwood Commercial Partners

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 auc- tion, 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 insur- ance 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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/ DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2020-01106-CA.

Funds

from page 1 — although groups that previously received grants must first submit reports to the city detailing how prior funding was spent.

Previous awardees included $5,000 each to St. Vincent de Paul @ Immaculate Heart of Mary and Hope House; $7,500 to His Presence Christian Worship Center; $8,000 to Meals on Wheels Diablo Region; and $10,000 to both Meals on Wheels of Contra Costa and Brentwood Strong.

The program appears to be paying off.

St. Vincent de Paul alone reported that the initial $5,000, along with other outside funds, went toward serving an average of 330 individuals weekly between May and August, 95% Brentwood residents and 45% seniors.

Meals on Wheels Diablo Region noted that its $8,000 allocation went toward 1,855 meals distributed to Brentwood homebound seniors.

The four other awarded first-round grants went toward unspecified food bank contributions and meal or grocery donations, according to city documents.

For more information, or to apply for a grant, email Ogden at togden@brentwoodca.gov.

Tax

from page 1 So I see this as an opportunity for East County to possibly benefit from some of the spending they do in other communities.”

Andersen noted that she had concerns about asking residents for additional funds when many are struggling financially during the pandemic.

A similar Los Angeles County measure was estimated to cost residents between $25 and $65 a year, said District 1 Supervisor John Gioia.

“I still have serious, serious concerns about imposing a sales tax when we are in the middle of a global pandemic, and we are seeing families’ household incomes depleted significantly,” Andersen said.

A county sales tax measure ad hoc committee working group, comprising just over 20 public health, nonprofit and labor stakeholders, concluded that the tax is needed for a variety of reasons, including increasing accessibility and availability to health resources, like the county hospital that serves as the health care safety net for vulnerable populations: interpersonal violence prevention; early childhood services; and expanding the number of eligibility workers who aid those seeking government assistance.

The group found that the COVID-19 pandemic has only increased the need for such resources, and many service providers themselves are struggling.

An April report determined that 40% of county workers face a high risk of unemployment, with 84% deemed “not essential,” 62% unable to work from home, and 40% who are not salaried employees.

At the same time, the county hospital faces a $32 million budget gap, likely to increase future costs and may force health programs to close.

Other resources, including alcohol and substance-abuse treatment providers, interpersonal violence prevention services and legal advocates, are struggling to operate against the rising dayto-day costs, the group found.

An estimated 17,900 county children, ages 0 to 5 years, who are eligible for subsidized child care cannot access it due to low supply. Additionally, 7,000 to 10,000 children have unmet mental health needs, according to county health provider reports.

“Even before COVID-19, we knew there was an increased need for funding in those areas,” Gioia said. “Those needs have gotten even greater during COVID.”

June polling of 666 county voters likely to submit a ballot found that the measure would be approved, 66% to 28%, with a host of priorities receiving broad support, including preventing child and elder abuse, expanding access to mental health care, afterschool programming, substance abuse programs and job training.

“This measure is as well positioned as it could be in the context of a rapidly changing environment,” said Lucia Del Puppo, a representative of FM3 Research, which conducted polling on the proposed measure. “I can’t guarantee voters’ attitudes won’t change, but at this point in time the measure does appear to be well positioned and viable for November.”

County residents, however, expressed mixed reactions prior to the board’s vote, with three of about eight public speakers adamantly against the measure during a recent virtual meeting.

“We are looking at increases in so many areas already. We just can’t take it,” said one county resident who didn’t state her name. “I would like the county to look at their own funds and what they already have, and to relocate and look where things can be managed more properly.”

Another county resident, however, said the additional resident resources are sorely needed.

“Our county and the most vulnerable people in our county are desperately in need of access to healthcare and social services,” she said.

If approved, the tax would kick in April 2021.

Resistance from page 3 outdoor dining less than a week later in an appendix to the general shelter-in-place order. It required that customers wear a face covering while on the premises except while eating or drinking. That included while ordering, before the meal and drinks are served and while moving to or from the table.

“The rules keep changing,” Venoble said. “There’s nobody there to tell us what they are. It’s our responsibility to go out and search for these rules. There’s so many places to search, it’s very unclear what to follow.”

Down the street at Brentwood Craft Beer and Cider, co-owner Joey Nardone said the majority of customers there readily comply with the rules, but there are exceptions.

“A small percentage of people, just a few each day, will not want to approach the checkout table with a mask, will not want to come into the building to use the restroom with a mask,” he said. “They don’t want to do business with us if they have to follow any of the rules set forth by the state and the county. They simply walk away.”

Arguing with customers is time consuming for Nardone and his staff, and he said it impacts the morale of his business’ 14 employees. But failure to enforce the health order means risking fines and a potential loss of his business license. It also presents a health risk to his employees and other customers.

“We don’t want to argue with anybody,” Nardone said. “We’re very customer-friendly. We’re customer-service oriented. We’re here to serve people and give you what you need and want. But then when you argue with us over something we can’t control, you’re wasting ev

erybody’s time and you’re bringing down our spirit. It’s just not good for the vibe. It’s not a good thing.”

Around the corner at Roadees Cafe, Cherie and Chandra Mathews have had a different experience. They report having had no problems with customers attempting to skirt the rules.

“I would say our customers are pretty good about it,” Mathews said. “If they don’t have a mask, they usually wait outside to be respectful to the other customers. Most people have masks, though. Everyone keeps their six-foot distance. I would say, overall, we haven’t had any issues.”

With no end to the pandemic in sight, it’s likely that business owners will be dealing with this issue into the foreseeable future.

“I wish (people) would understand that if they want us to be around when all of this is said and done, they have to follow the rules now,” Venoble said. “Or else, they’re not going to have their favorite watering hole or their new favorite lunch venue to come to.” LANDSCAPING Tough on your yard, not on your wallet ● Landscape Plans ● Synthetic Lawn ● Dry Creekbeds ● Fences ● Patios ● Drip Systems ● Clean-up ● Brick & Stone ● Sod Lawns ● Retainer Walls 20 Years Experience ● ● Sprinklers Tree Pruning ● Concrete Demo License# 784035
