AG moves to block St. Louise sale COUNTY WARNS IF IT CAN’T BUY TWO HOSPITALS, THEY WILL LIKELY CLOSE Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra wants to block the sale of O’Connor and St. Louise hospitals to Santa Clara County, putting him
on a legal collision course with a U.S. bankruptcy judge and the county. If the attorney general is successful, says Santa Clara County Executive Jeff Smith, the deal for the county’s $235 million purchase of the two local hospitals from Verity Health System is dead and the hospitals will close, with no prospect of reopening under new owners. There was no indication in recent court filings that Becerra realized
that his actions could put more than 2,000 hospital workers out of work and leave South County communities miles away from hospital services. “The attorney general’s actions to block the sale of Verity’s hospitals to the county is a real threat to the health of our community, our residents and the vulnerable populations

in “Homeless Voices” exhibit through Jan. 26 at the Gilroy Center for the Arts.
Spotlighting a plight that has no denomination, Gilroy Center for the Arts hosted a reception for an exhibit on homelessness Saturday, Jan. 12. Photographer Kirti Bassendine, who splits her time between Morgan Hill and San Benito County, took to the streets to document the lives of homeless residents living in poverty. Many who have been stricken with poverty, Bassendine said, are just ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Bassendine’s message is that everyone deserves a second chance.

Police oppose new records law POLICE WANT TO LIMIT ACCESS TO DISCIPLINARY REPORTS reports

A new state law that opens certain internal police records to the public for the first time in decades is being challenged by a Southern California law enforcement union. The lawsuit filed by the Los Angeles Police Protective League could have far-reaching statewide implications for the new law that went into effect Jan. 1. As civil liberties advocates who endorsed the new law prepare
for a lengthy legal battle to keep it intact, police departments in multiple cities—including Morgan Hill—have already destroyed some of their older internal and investigation records in recent weeks. The new law, known as Senate Bill 1421, requires police agencies in California to release internal police investigation records related to a shootings or use-offorce incidents involving an officer, or an accusation of misconduct or certain types of crimes against an officer. The records newly opened by the law, which amends the state’s Public Records Act, include certain personnel documents and complaints against officers. Previously, these police records
were considered to be confidential and prohibited from disclosure even in any criminal or civil investigation. Some police unions and agencies have harshly criticized the new law. The Los Angeles Police Protective League suit is attempting to prevent the City of Los Angeles from disclosing these internal city police records from before Jan. 1. The lawsuit obtained a court order that limits the disclosure requirements of SB1421 to only those records in existence as of Jan. 1, said Jim Ewert, general counsel of the California News Publishers Association. The order only applies to the City of Los Angeles, and the CNPA and other

parties are planning to push back against the LA Superior Court interpretation. Ewert and other SB1421 proponents argue the law applies retroactively to all records in a police agency’s possession, regardless of how old they are. The CNPA, First Amendment Coalition, Los Angeles Times and other parties are preparing a motion to file in response to the LA Superior Court’s ruling. A hearing on that motion is scheduled for Feb. 5. “Any time the Public Records Act has ever been changed— including the exemption that made these records confidential back in the 1980s—those bills never ➝ Police, 11

Blankley selected 2019 mayor pro tem STAND-IN ROLE GOES TO NEWLY ELECTED CITY COUNCIL MEMBER MARIE BLANKLEY Jaqueline McCool Reporter
The Gilroy City Council is settling into a new year following the election of four council members. While Dion Bracco and Peter Leroe-Muñoz reclaimed their seats on the council, Marie Blankley was elected to the seat to which
she had been appointed and Carol Marques unseated Daniel Harney for her first term. One of the first orders of business of 2019 was for the council to select a mayor pro tempore. According to Gilroy’s charter, the role of the mayor pro tempore is to “act as mayor during the absence or inability of the mayor to act. In the case of the temporary absence or disability of both the mayor and the mayor pro tempore, the council shall elect one of its members to act as mayor pro tempore.”
Mayor Roland Velasco submitted a staff report recommending the newly elected Blankley for the position. According to the city’s charter, the mayor pro tempore is selected after a new council member is elected or appointed.
Blankley told the Dispatch in an email, "I'm honored to have been asked by the mayor and supported by the council to serve as mayor pro tempore for 2019. I hope to learn from the position and, when needed, emulate the mayor's strong leadership skills."

Elected reps lack LAFCO clout CATHOLIC SCHOOL REJECTION LEAVES CITY WITH FEW OPTIONS Jaqueline McCool Reporter
In the final month of 2018, Morgan Hill City Council’s application to annex land for a new Catholic high school was thwarted by a little-known appointed commission, the county;s Local Agency Formation Committee. The city felt they represented community needs, attempting to annex land long owned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese into the city’s Urban Service Area. LAFCO denied the request for the third time in three years, postponing the project indefinitely. The commission’s apparent hard line against Morgan Hill’s plans to annex pieces of the Southeast Quadrant has been consistent, and frustrating to many city officials and residents. In this case, the Santa Clara County LAFCO rejected a plan that had been 10 years in the making. The diocese’s South Valley Catholic High School project was doomed—by a 4-3 vote—because of a deteriorating relationship between Morgan Hill and LAFCO, members of both bodies have acknowledged. The motion to approve the annexation was made by County Supervisor Mike Wasserman, who represents the South County, and
CITY BOUNDARIES: The map outlines existing Morgan Hill boundaries. was initially rejected in a 5-2 vote, supported only by John Varela, his South County counterpart on the Santa Clara Valley Water District board. Then, on a final vote to deny the application, LAFCO Commissioner Rob Rennie of Los Gatos switched his vote, leaving Susan Vicklund Wilson, Sequoia Hall, Ken Yeager and Sergio Jimenez in the 4-3 majority. “This was the third one in a row, and we asked them
not to bring it back.” Hall told the Times. “We tried this with Morgan Hill a few times, and it didn’t work.” In an email to the Times, Morgan Hill Communication and Engagement Manager Maureen Tobin estimated that the city had submitted four applications to LAFCO in the last 10 years. Of those applications, only one was partially approved—the application Hall referenced at the meeting and in conversation with the Times.
One application was withdrawn by the city, while the other two were denied by LAFCO. At the Dec. 5 LAFCO meeting, commissioners Hall and Wilson cited these past applications from Morgan Hill multiple times. A representative of the archdiocese, the Rev. Steve Kim, told LAFCO at that meeting that the archdiocese hoped to use the agricultural land next to the proposed high school as a
teaching experience for the students. The plea fell on deaf ears.
Two very different staff reports
When LAFCO staff presented its findings about the Morgan Hill application to commissioners, the staff report recommended commissioners deny the request. This came after two months of meetings between the city and LAFCO. According to the staff report, the application did
not meet requirements for LAFCO approval because: There was land available within Morgan Hill city limits as an alternate site for the school; The annexation wouldn’t create logical city boundaries; There would be a significant impact on valuable agricultural land; The city didn’t have the infrastructure to provide the public safety, sewer, water ➝ LAFCO, 8

OPINION GUEST VIEW ZACHARY HILTON
2018: A great year for bike safety
We need state AG to support our hospitals
S
anta Clara County Executive Jeff Smith has a difficult time understanding just what has occurred in the past two weeks. His vision of leading a dramatic expansion and improvement of a public healthcare system is suddenly on the verge of hitting a brick wall as it enters the home stretch. California’s politically ambitious Attorney General Xavier Becerra is going to court to stop Smith from closing the deal to buy O’Connor and St. Louise hospitals. Smith is convinced this will force the two hospitals to close. This outcome, says Smith, could occur even if Becerra’s arguments fail to convince a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge to reconsider a December decision in favor of the pending deal. A Becerra victory or even a decision to appeal another rejection to a federal appeals court could result in a fatal delay in negotiations already hard-pressed by the mounting losses and impatient creditors of the hospitals’ owner, Verity Health System. Smith should know what he is talking about. He is a medical doctor and a lawyer, and manages a $6 billion county government. Becerra also should know what he is talking about. He is a lawyer and the state’s top law enforcement officer, after all. We’ll go with Dr. Smith on this one. Who stands to benefit from Smith’s desired outcome? South County citizens in need of a wide range of hospital-based health care services: low-income and the elderly, immigrants and the uninsured, accident victims and expectant mothers—for whom traveling dozens of miles north on 101 would be an urgent-care disaster. And the more than 2,000 nurses and other hospital workers, plus several hundred physicians who would be able to stay employed. Who stands to gain from Becerra’s desired outcome? That’s a more difficult question to answer. Certainly not the hospitals’ current patients, nor their employees or vendors or host communities. That leaves the attorney general himself.
Barry Holtzclaw Managing Editor editor@gilroydispatch.com
Becerra, appointed in 2016 after 12 years in Congress, ran unsuccessfully for Los Angeles mayor in 2001, explored a Senate run before his appointment, and was even mentioned as a possible vice presidential candidate in 2016. He is not yet past his political prime. As attorney general he has made national headlines standing up for California in the face of real and tweeted threats from the White House. He has declined requests for interviews on his intervention in this hospital bankruptcy case, deferring to a flack in his office to say the attorney general is concerned about the commitment of Santa Clara County, which already runs a giant public hospital with related clinics and services, to provide quality health to all citizens. In his relatively brief legal arguments, Becerra fell back on call for strict adherence to all “53 conditions” that his predecessor, Sen. Kamala Harris, laid down to ensure that a private nonprofit run by a hedge fund with no track record of healthcare service would not cannibalize or flip the six California hospital it purchased in 2015. What he has not said or write is that some of those 53 conditions would require any presumably private purchaser of the Verity Health hospitals to honor the employerfunded pensions and all provisions of the contracts with labor unions representing various hospital groups, plus the contracts with physicians’ groups. Smith has correctly pointed out that the county—an arm of state government—is barred by state employment law and the state Constitution from honoring these labor obligations. Surely the savvy Becerra knows this. But he can make powerful political points with organized labor by pressing their case right up to the last minute. That way he can say he did his best, in a cynical high-stakes gamble for political capital with more than 2,000 jobs and the health of thousands on the line. There is time salvage this deal, time for our attorney general to open his mind and his heart to Santa Clara County, and support the county’s hospital purchase plan.

Safe Routes to School had another successful year in Gilroy. The Gilroy Bicycle Pedestrian Commission along with Santa Clara County Public Health took a leadership position in getting all the stakeholders in the city to come together to form a Safe Routes to School Task Force. The county secured funding to lead us through the formation of our action plan, which will guide and sustain the program for the long term. We presented our 2018 work plan to City Council, and the safe routes plan is our top priority. One reason why is the economic benefits that spill over into the city when we stay local and play local. When you engage the youth to walk and ride to school, they become more comfortable with their streets, neighbors and surroundings. Suddenly walking and riding to downtown, Gilroy Gardens, Sports Park, Nob Hill, The Patio and the newest Hecker Pass Ag-Tourist project along the Bike/Ped path seem a lot quicker and easier than driving in your car. Shifty Cycles has free bike valet for Downtown Live, Tamal Festival, and Bonanza Day Parade. Look for more bike/ped-oriented open streets events. The Gilroy Bicycle Pedestrian Commission plans to introduce a resolution to City Council to recognize Walk & Roll each Wednesday. Rucker Elementary will have its first Walk & Roll Wednesday in October. We reached out to each high school last year to participate in the Silicon Valley Clean Energy Bike to the Future event at Gilroy Gardens, and several students who have been leaders in their middle school Safe Routes programs are moving onto high school. Our Gilroy commission’s April Monthly Award recipient Karina Rodriguez plans to start a Safe Routes Committee at Gilroy High School. The Specialized Foundation Riding For Focus program began this year at Ascencion Solorsano Middle School. We helped P.E. teacher Anthony Fucella apply for the grant, and we wrote a letter of support for this great program. I’m excited to announce that getting a bike park located in Gilroy made it further than ever, when City Council unanimously approved direction to staff to draft a memorandum of understanding between the City of Gilroy and Garlic City BMX so that Garlic City BMX can proceed with site evaluation, project development and fundraising activities for the construction of a proposed dirt pump track at Christmas Hill Park. Having places like this that are open to public year round in our parks support our efforts for biking to school and playing local. You will be able to access the pump track from the current bike/ ped trails. Safe Routes summary reports for residential developments are in the packets for the Planning Commission and City Council now. This is information for them to see what the strengths and weaknesses are for current infrastructure. We encourage you to nominate for our monthly award a Gilroy resident who strives to make the city a better place for biking and pedestrian activities. Come to one of our meetings on the fourth Tuesday of each month 6pm in the City Council Chambers, or email any of us. For information, visit www.cityofgilroy.org/280/ Bicycle-Pedestrian-Commission. We are constantly advocating for Complete Streets, Safe Routes to School, and bicycle/pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. The youth in our community will shape the future, but it's up to us to show them the way. Like Mark Fenton has famously said, “Let’s create a community full of ‘free-range children!’” If you are looking for ways to get involved then look to the schools that need parent volunteers and join a City of Gilroy commission.

THE 78-UNIT BUILDING WITH BE FIVE STORIES FACING MONTEREY RD. Jaqueline McCool Reporter
The Gilroy City Council this week unanimously approved a mixed use building that will sit on Monterey Road near Highway 101. The project approved Jan. 14 is planned to have 69 market rate units and 9 affordable housing units for a total of 78 apartments. The rent will range from $2,000 for a one bedroom to $6,000 for a four bedroom, city staff identified the rent as slightly above average Gilroy rent. After the council
members fleshed out details of the project with city staff and the applicant Jan Hochhauser, they eventually came to a consensus hinging on the applicant fulfilling some conditions laid out by the council. Most notably, Dion Bracco asked that public art be painted in the proposed public plaza at the building. He asked that no more than $10,000 be spent and that a local artist be asked to paint the piece. The curb appeal of the project was heavily debated, with newly elected Councilmember Carol Marques voicing concern that the project would look like the Alexander station apartment complex. “When i looked at the whole blueprint as soon as i opened it up,
I thought “Alexander Station,” said Marques. “While I was campaigning I have heard so many negatives about what that building looked like. My platform talked about how every project was going to be aesthetically pleasing.” The proposed project is not a low-income housing project. The nine units reserved for below-market-rate rents will likely, according to the city’s staff report, be categorized as “moderate income.” Councilmember Marie Blankley said that the aesthetics of the complex were subjective and that she believed the design would attract tenants. Blankley said, “I trust that you’re appealing to a market that’s going to pay these rents.”
Mayor Pro Tem Marie Blankley said she believed the design will attract tenants.
LAFCO controls growth ➝ LAFCO, 4 and storm drainage to the area; The plan wasn’t consistent with the regional transportation plan; The city hasn’t annexed all of the unincorporated land still within the urban service area; and The plan wasn’t consistent with county policies. The Morgan Hill staff report came to nearly opposite conclusions. Tobin said the discrepancies between he two reports occurred because “LAFCO policies are a collection of recommendations (some poorly defined) regarding how to evaluate USA (Urban Service Area) Amendment requests and recommendations for agricultural mitigation. “In the City’s USA Amendment request to LAFCO,” Tobin added, “the City provided its own assessment of each of the evaluation factors LAFCO uses to review such requests and described how the request was consistent with LAFCO policy recommendations.” Hall said it was the committees job to only look at the “macro picture” and determine whether or not the application violated policy. The commissioners who voted to deny the project—Yeager, Wilson, Sergio Jimenez and Hall— also urged the City and the archdiocese to continue searching for land within the city’s existing Urban Service Area. This contrasted with Morgan Hill city staff’s finding that not enough contiguous land exists within the city for such a project. Kim, speaking for the archdiocese, said he felt the LAFCO commissioners did not understand the work that the church and the city had put into finding appropriate land. “I pointed out that the California Department of Education requires 44.5 acres for a high school size of 1,800 students,” said Kim. “Sobrato High School is 77 acres, and Live Oak is 48 acres. Comparable local Catholic schools are suffering from being landlocked, which
WHAT IS LAFCO? LAFCO is a county agency mandated by the state. There are seven commissioners, made up of local government officials from across Santa Clara County along with a public member. There are also five alternative commissioners. According to the Santa Clara LAFCO website, the committee’s mission is to “ [to regulate], through approval or denial, the boundary changes proposed by other public agencies or individuals such as annexations to or detachments from, special districts or cities; formation of new districts; incorporation of cities; consolidation of districts; merger of a district with a city; creation of a subsidiary district; and dissolution of a district.” When a city receives a request for a Urban Service Area amendment, the City Council must hear the request and choose whether to move forward with an application to LAFCO. Because cities are only allotted one such application per year, requests are often bundled.
requires the school to cross the street and rent out other parking space and facilities.” Commissioners said the application had not addressed past LAFCO concerns. The city settled a lawsuit with LAFCO in 2016 over Morgan Hill’s General Plan that plotted city growth through 2035. City Attorney Larkin said LAFCO didn't believe the General Plan was sufficient. The parties reached a legal settlement, but they did not seem to reach a consensus when it came to how the city should be growing. “To resolve the dispute, the City agreed to do further environmental analysis before any amendment to the City’s Urban Services Area and/or initiating an annexation, unless there was a preexisting EIR that studied the project,” Larkin told the Times in an email. “In the case of the application for the Catholic High School, an EIR for the project was completed in 2014, so the settlement agreement requirements did not apply.” Despite the settlement, the original Environmental Impact Report was mentioned multiple times throughout the December LAFCO meeting, and was cited
by Hall as an example of how the project had not changed throughout the three applications. “The project was no different; they should have done a new EIR on it,” Hall said at the meeting. However, in an interview with the times, Hall said it was understood that the city was allowed to use the initial EIR in its application. The archdiocese now owns land outside of an Urban Service Area, surrounded by farmland that the county has deemed “prime,” but which has been called unusable by the farmers who own it. When asked by the Times if he believed the December meeting had led to any productive conversation, Kim replied, “No.” Former mayor Steve Tate made his case for the Catholic school and the annexation once again in an editorial piece for the San Jose Mercury News. Tate reiterated the city’s message, that this annexation would be the last of its kind in the city. “I am very disappointed that we will not have that opportunity and will apparently lose our chance for the South County Catholic High School to meet the demand for educational services in underserved South County,” wrote Tate.

GILROY DISPATCH
New police records law faces officers’ lawsuit law went into effect, multiple California cities authorized police departments to destroy stacks of old internal and investigative records sitting in storage. These cities’ officials have argued the timing of the record purges so close to the Jan. 1 implementation of SB1421 is merely coincidental, but Ewert is skeptical. In Morgan Hill, the city council on Dec. 19 adopted an update to its citywide records retention policy, setting defined schedules for when each type of public record can be destroyed. Under the city’s new policy, the Morgan Hill Police Department will retain records related to officer-involved shootings for two years before they can be destroyed. It was unclear how the city can legally destroy such records so soon, as a state law requires police departments to retain documents related to officer-involved shooting investigations for a minimum of five years. “If the officer is cleared of wrongdoing, the criminal investigation of the officer may be destroyed after two years,” said Morgan Hill City Attorney Donald Larkin. “In any officer-involved shooting, there will be a separate administrative investigation. Files from the administrative investigation are kept for five years.” Larkin said that “because administrative investigations typically involve compelled statements that cannot be used in court, the administrative investigation is kept
separately. Reports and evidence from the criminal investigation would be included in the administrative investigation, so even if the separate criminal investigation files are destroyed, the documents and evidence from those files are maintained under the administrative investigation.” Two officer-involved incidents resulting in injury or death have occurred in South County within the last year. On Feb. 25, 2018, Gilroy resident Stevie Juarez died while he was being restrained and arrested by city police officers. On April 29, a Morgan Hill Police officer accidentally fired his service handgun during an incident response, resulting in injury to a teenage girl. Both incidents are still under investigation by the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office. Records related to those incidents must be retained at least until the investigation is completed, and possibly for at least five years under existing state law and city policies. Police personnel complaints and internal investigation records will be retained for five years in Morgan Hill before they can be destroyed, under the city’s policy update. MHPD case files for certain types of felonies— including murder, capital offenses and child abuse— will be held permanently, according to the Dec. 19 city staff report. Citywide, personnel files for all employees will be retained

➝ Police, 1 contained language that specified the change in law applied retroactively,” Ewert said. “Nevertheless, the cops understood it to apply to all records in existence on the effective date. For them to argue now that, without some explicit statement in the bill, it only applies prospectively is a little disingenuous.” He added that the language of previous changes to the Public Records Act has never indicated that the changes only apply to a certain time period. Despite the police union’s challenge in Los Angeles and other resistance to SB1421 from individual law enforcement agencies, the California Police Chiefs Association has been a proponent of the law that expands police transparency. Morgan Hill Police Chief David Swing, who is president of the CPCA, said he “personally supports applying the new only to actions after Jan. 1, 2019, similar to the position argued by the LA Police Protective League lawsuit. “However, we as a profession and department will abide by the court’s application,” Swing said. The CPCA supported the law because it could improve public trust in police, as it allows the public to gain a glimpse of the “time and attention and resources” that investigators put into dealing with officer-involved incidents, Swing said in October. Ewert said regardless of the outcome of the Feb. 5 hearing in Los Angeles, he expects the losing party to appeal. In the weeks before the
POLICE RECORDS New law requires most police records to be kept five years. until each employee’s termination, plus three years. Swing said the update to the city’s records retention policy was not inspired by SB1421, and that city staff have been working on it for some time. He said the police department has destroyed some records pursuant to the update since Dec. 19, though he did not immediately know how many when contacted Jan. 10. “The city clerk’s office has worked extensively with the city attorney’s office and police department over the past two years to accomplish a comprehensive update to their sections of the schedule,” reads the Dec. 19 staff report.
In Southern California, the police departments in Long Beach and Inglewood have in recent weeks destroyed mounds of records dating back decades, according to a Jan. 9 report from the LA Times. Officials for both cities denied the record purges had anything to do with SB1421. In Long Beach, officials said the purge was the result of a two-year effort to streamline records retention practices, the LA Times reported. Ewert said it is “laughable” to claim these records purges have nothing to do with SB1421, adding that it’s “a bit of a mystery as to why they want to do
that because there are employees of agencies that have been around more than five years, and why they would want to destroy part of the personnel files that are older than five years is beyond me,” Ewert said of the Long Beach and Inglewood records purges. He added that the purpose of SB1421 is “not simply to out bad cops.” “The true purpose behind this is to ensure that agencies are made aware of potential misconduct in a fair and just manner, and when they find misconduct they deal with it appropriately because they are doing it on behalf of the public,” Ewert said.

Hospitals’ fate tied to Jan. 30 hearing
➝ St. Louise, 1
the hospitals serve,” Smith said in a Jan.10 statement. A hearing of Becerra’s request to block the sale has been set for Jan. 30 in U.S. District Court. Smith drove to Sacramento Tuesday afternoon for a meeting with the attorney general’s office, “to try to get them to remove their request for a stay,” Smith told supervisors Tuesday morning. “Time is running out,” he said. “We’re anxious to try and get resolution.” Becerra contends in court documents that any sale of hospitals owned by Verity Health must adhere to all of the strict conditions set down in December 2015 by his predecessor Kamala Harris, regardless of the consequences. Becerra and his staff have declined interview requests. “It’s absurd,” said a frustrated Smith in an interview Jan. 11. His exhilaration over the pending success of a plan to save two failing hospitals and expand health care for county residents is now clouded by a new threat
from the state’s highest law enforcement official.
Smith cites unions’ influence
Smith said the attorney general doesn’t understand California law and has succumbed to pressure from politically powerful labor unions. If the purchase agreement with Verity Health fails because of delays caused by Becerra’s effort, and the hospitals close, “It would be a disaster,” said the county executive who holds both medical and legal degrees. Blocking the county purchase would mean “the hospitals will close, and nobody is going to buy them. They will be sold to some developer, torn down and turned into condos,” Smith said. Things had looked brighter on Christmas Eve, when Robles ruled that “the attorney general's objections to the sale motion are overruled, and the debtors are authorized to sell the hospitals free and clear of the conditions.” Less than a week later,
four unions representing nurses and other healthcare workers joined Becerra in seeking the Jan. 30 hearing in Los Angeles to appeal the late December order. Becerra supported the unions’ claim that the new owner of the hospital, Santa Clara County, was required to honor all of the 2015 conditions, which included the unions’ labor contracts with Verity and the retention of Verityfunded employee pensions.
Employees lose pensions
Under the sale agreement reached in early December between Verity Health and Santa Clara County, all employees of Saint Louise Regional Hospital in Gilroy and O’Connor Hospital in San Jose would be rehired by the county under existing public employee contracts, but they would lose their seniority. They also would lose their Verity pensions, whose funds would be swallowed up by the banks and lenders who are Verity Health’s major creditors, as part of the
Chapter 11 reorganization. Smith said that some of the approximately 2,000 employees at the two hospitals have already quit because of the uncertain future. “We have been having employment fairs, inviting the employes to apply,” he said. “We expected to give them an informal employment offer on Feb. 9.” He said more than 1,200 current hospital employees had applied to keep their jobs as of Jan. 11. Last year ended with more than 200 documents filed in connection with the sale of two of Verity Health’s six hospitals to Santa Clara County. There are no other pending sale offers for Verity’s other hospitals, two in San Mateo County and two in Los Angeles, and their fate is uncertain. Some of the documents were from creditors, including UMB Bank, US Bank, MOB Financing, even Kaiser Foundation hospitals. Others were from the unions—Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare
Workers-West, Licensed Vocational Nurses Association, California Nurses Association and Engineers and Scientists of California, IFPTE Local 20—as well as the main physicians’ group, California Physicians’ Service dba Blue Shield of California, and heath insurer Health Net of California. Becerra had first objected in October to the county plan to purchase the O’Connor and Saint Louise “free and clear of the [2015] conditions,” and to bidding procedures for the pending bankruptcy auction.
County seeking resolution
Santa Clara County said in response in a filing in November that “its status as a government entity made it impossible to comply with certain conditions without violating its obligations under California law and the California Constitution.” “We’ve been trying to communicate with the attorney general’s office extensively since Dec. 19,”
said Smith. The attorney general filed a statement on Dec. 14 that he would not object to the sale. Five days later he appeared to have changed his mind and on Dec. 21 filed objections to the sale, returning to this contention that it violated the 2015 conditions placed on any potential buyers of the Verity hospitals. Becerra “is asking us to assume responsibilities we can’t legally assume,” said Smith. He said the 53 conditions established three years ago by Harris and the involvement of the attorney general’s office should not apply to the county purchase of the hospitals because the county is not a private corporation. “I would argue that state law is pretty clear, that the attorney general has no authority over the purchase of a non-profit by a government entity. It does have authority to over deals between private entities. The attorney general would have authority to impose ➝St. Louise, 14

conditions on a private entity.” Bankruptcy Judge Robles agreed, in a decision filed two days after Christmas. “The attorney general’s Charitable Trust Division doesn’t understand we are government; in fact, the county is legally a subdivision of the state,” said the county executive. The labor contracts that the unions and Becerra want the county to honor cannot under California law be transferred from private, albeit non-profit, entities to a public entity, said Smith. The county executive said he understood that the attorney general’s office also
is concerned about the precedent that the Santa Clara County case could have on two other Verity properties, Sequoia Hospital in San Mateo or St. Francis Hospital in Los Angeles. “The Charitable Trust Division is troubled that the sale order essentially sets a precedent that the attorney general doesn’t like— that the bankruptcy can discharge all of the conditions in the bankruptcy court for any future sales to other private entities,” he said. “They are unnecessarily concerned about the precedent.” On Dec. 27, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles approved the county’s bid to acquire O’Connor
Hospital in San Jose, St. Louise Regional Hospital in Gilroy and DePaul Health Center in Morgan Hill for $235 million. The county would be adding the two hospitals to its health system which already includes Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose.
Quality, compassion promised
The three hospitals, their staff and physicians, would all share the county’s mission to provide “high-quality, compassionate and accessible healthcare,” according to Smith. "As a public hospital system, the county provides care to all people living in Santa Clara County, and
availability of essential healthcare services that their communities have depended on for more than a century. “Because of this attempt to block the sale, our efforts and the viability of these community hospitals are now in jeopardy.” Smth said in a statement. On Oct.10, the attorney general filed an objection to the bidding procedures. He also objected to the debtors’ proposal to sell the hospitals free and clear of the conditions, contending that the conditions remained binding upon any purchaser of the hospitals. Santa Clara reminded
the judge in response that if an order providing for a sale “free and clear of the conditions” was not entered by the Jan. 2 deadline set in the original purchase agreement, “it would be Santa Clara’s position that a breach of the [agreement] had occurred.” The bankruptcy judge’s Dec. 27 ruling declared that the attorney general’s response “was so inconsistent with an intent to continue to enforce the conditions against Santa Clara as to induce Santa Clara to reasonably believe that the attorney general had abandoned his position as to the enforceability of the conditions.”

He said the county has made arrangements to transfer Medicare and MediCal responsibilities from O’Connor and Saint Louise to Santa Clara County. “County leadership is already working on transition planning with the leaders, managers and employees in these hospitals in preparation for an expected late-February ownership change, and to make the transition as seamless as possible,” Smith said. “Adding these hospitals to our health system would ensure the continued

Kicking it FINISHING IN STYLE Former Gilroy High standout Alex Vega had a strong senior season at Cal Poly, connecting on 11 of 12 field goals and all 39 of his point-after attempts. Vega earned all-Big Sky Conference Third Team honors and is now preparing for his pro day in March.
2014 GILROY HIGH GRAD HOPES TO LAND PRO CONTRACT emanuel lee Sports Editor
Owen Main
Alex Vega’s college football career was like a roller coaster, marked by euphoria one moment and frustrating lows the next. Vega, a recent Cal Poly graduate and former Gilroy High standout, persevered and ended his collegiate career on a high note as he earned allBig Sky Conference Third Team honors. The 5-foot-9, 180-pound Vega is currently training in San Luis Obispo for the Cal Poly Pro Day, in which Vega will kick in front of pro scouts in hopes to land a free agent offer. “Consistency is the big thing,” said Vega, who converted 11 of 12 field goals and was perfect on 39 point-after attempts this past season for a Cal Poly team that finished 5-6 overall and 4-4 in conference. “Consistency is what everyone wants. Just going into it I’ve got to be physically and mentally prepared. I’m going to kick and lift as much as I can to stay in shape and get ready for it.” Even though Vega never attempted a field goal longer than 41 yards this past season, he said he is capable of connecting from 55 yards and in. Success in kicking—like any other sports skill—often comes down to a mental battle, not a physical one. The best kickers trust in their training and don’t let a seemingly momentous occasion rattle them. When Vega kicks in front of pro scouts—with his football
career on the line—he plans on doing what he’s always done. “I really don’t try to think about it too much,” he said. “I go out there and am confident in my ability so I don’t worry too much.” Vega’s career at Cal Poly got off to a storybook beginning. In his first-ever college game—as a recruited walk-on, no less—Vega nailed a 49-yard game-winning field goal to give the Mustangs a 20-19 win at the University of Montana, setting the table for what turned out to be an excellent season. However, Vega lost his starting place kicker’s job in both his sophomore and junior years, making for a rather disappointing and frustrating couple of seasons. “I just got beat out and lost my job,” he said. “I still traveled and went to all the away games but didn’t play.” From an auspicious beginning to losing his starting kicker’s position for his sophomore and junior seasons—Vega did punt 10 times as a sophomore— he kept on grinding away, hoping he would take back a starting spot. That happened this past season, and Vega experienced equal parts joy and relief. “It was definitely humbling, but what kept me going was the drive to prove I deserved to be playing,” he said. “I started off my career with super high expectations and then they brought in guys who beat me out my sophomore and junior years. I got the opportunity my senior year (to compete for the starter’s spot) and never looked back. I showed the coaches I still could kick at a high level and still deserved to be starting and maybe showed them what they were missing out the last couple of years.” Some players in Vega’s situation would’ve transferred; however, Vega is the type of
FULL EXTENSION Alex Vega, a 2014 Gilroy High graduate, recently wrapped up his college career as the kicker at Cal Poly. Vega earned all-Big Sky Conference Third Team honors this past season after nailing 11 of 12 field goals. person who likes to finish what he starts, and he remained resolute toward the goal of finishing his athletic career and graduating with a degree from Cal Poly. “In my situation transferring is one of those things you think you can do and probably should do, but I had no desire to leave Cal Poly because I started here and I wanted to finish here,” he said. Vega only attempted 12 field goals this season because Cal Poly often goes for it on fourth down. Despite the lack of a regular work load, Vega was
grateful that his attempts hit double digits. “It’s probably the most field goal attempts a kicker at Cal Poly has attempted in a season in five or six years,” he said. Vega credits his older brother, Ben, for helping him develop into a bona-fide college kicker. Ben also kicked in high school and college, and Alex was 12 when he started shagging balls for Ben, who practiced almost everyday at Gavilan College. The two would be out there for hours, with Ben giving Alex pointers
and supporting him through every stage of his development. “He is probably the most import person in this process,” Alex said. “He’s the guy I go to if I’m having a bad day or a bad couple of weeks. He’s a guy who can look at my film and give me confidence because he’ll be another set of eyes to examine my kicks and point out something important.” Vega knows it’s now or never to leave his mark. Come March on his Pro Day, Vega will have to put his best foot forward to gain the attention of pro scouts.

Such impacts may include, but not be limited to the following: Inefficient use of remaining developable land within the Urban Service Area and Urban Growth Boundary, causing limitations on future development opportunities for new housing consistent with the General Plan Incomplete planning for provision of infrastructure and municipal services necessary for such new multi-family development, causing inadequate and/ or inconsistent provision of services to existing and future Gilroy residents.
Lack of implementation of General Plan Housing Element goals and policies requiring the provision of a variety of housing types and a range of housing densities throughout the City, and to avoid the overconcentration of specific housing types in any one area. 4.The public health, safety or welfare requires the immediate enactment of this Interim Urgency Ordinance because it is necessary to provide additional time for the City to conduct an analysis to determine the most efficient actions to take in the future review of pending and new development applications for new multi-family residential development in the City.
