Mitchell Dabo revealed this week he would not seek election to a third one-year term as president of the San Benito County Board of Education. Dabo’s revelation, in an interview with the Free Lance on Wednesday, occurred one day after Hollister police confirmed they had opened a criminal probe into Dabo’s handling of a $750,000 charitable trust, and received evidence in the case from District Attorney Candice Hooper. “We received a binder from the DA’s office,” said Capt. Carlos Reynoso. “It has been referred to the detective sergeant for review.” Reynoso said no additional complaints about Dabo’s financial planning business have been filed with the Hollister police.

The plan anticipates $1.2 billion in federal, state, regional and local funds from 2018 to 2040 to finance transportation projects. This leaves a $550 million deficit.

With roads in disrepair and traffic building in San Benito County, the agency in charge of transportation planning is seeking public comments on a new draft plan and considering a possible ballot measure to help fund nearly $2 billion in transportation projects across the region.

“One of the core purposes is to improve overall quality of life for residents.” According to the plan, $1.8 billion is needed over the next 22 years. Projects include highway expansions, local road repair and improving public transit. In particular, widening Union Road and Fairview Road, extending State Routes 25 and 156 and Westside Boulevard in Hollister. “Highway 156 is fully funded and will be going to construction in 2019,” COG Executive Director Mary Gilbert said.

Gavilan College president reflects on year so far DR. ROSE TOUTS FACILITY UPGRADES, COYOTE VALLEY CAMPUS Bryce Stoepfel Reporter

Gavilan College President Dr. Kathleen Rose talked about new buildings and new programs for the 2017-2018 academic year at Gavilan College. Q: What’s new and exciting this year at Gavilan?

A: We’ve made a lot of upgrades to our facilities in the last couple of years. We’ve made improvements to our student center, the business school and our administration building. To get new students acclimated quickly this year, when students go to the Welcome Center, they were met with an open space with laptops, peer mentors and a welcome committee that was there to answer questions. When they asked a question about school, they were assisted as to where to go for financial aid, classes, counseling and everything else. Instead of just standing in a line, you can be dispatched to where you need to go, or you can go online or access your myGav portal. We didn’t have any lines and that was pretty amazing. Now at the Student Center students can get to where they need to go much quicker. The Student Center also has brand new furniture that was purchased by the Associated Students of Gavilan College. It’s very

contemporary that can be reconfigured in some different ways. There are mobile whiteboards, with good wifi and numerous outlets for charging. It’s a space where students can do work, eat their lunch and hang out with couches that are pretty easy to move around. My office, the vice-president’s office, our assistant’s offices and parts of the Administration Office where students need to go is new. It’s more open, wider and brighter. The public can come in and have meetings with us. My door is always open and the space where my office and the vice-president’s office isn’t a stuffy place but where you can come in, sit down and have a sandwich with me or chat. It’s not a formal area. What are some of the new classes at Gavilan this year?

Our Coyote Valley Facility is all new. We have our Public Safety Training programs out there along with classes including yoga, which was very popular last year. We’re offering more programs, especially in our Administrative Justice department. A lot of our students are interested in going to the fire or police academies so getting an Associated Degree from Gavilan is a great way to get started. The San Martin Gavilan Airport Facility opened this year for the Aviation Technology Department. These programs include classes in Aviation Maintenance for both Airframe and Powerplant. We’ve

had some of the largest classes since we started the program. How many students are enrolled in ATD programs?

We have students up there that are your traditional college students up to students in their 50’s,” Rose said. “We’ve had a great partnership with American Airlines. They say they can’t wait for our students to graduate so because they’d like to hire a lot of them. We have several aircraft out there that our students can take apart and put back together. One of the first things I had to do as president was to buy an airplane. It had an inaugural flight from Palo Alto to San Martin, then the students took it apart. How do you connect with the community?

During our opening week, I was very happy to have been accompanied by Gilroy Unified School District Superintendent Deborah Flores at our Gilroy campus,” Rose said. “She was particularly excited to go into our Allied Health Building. She has never been in that building before and she was excited to see the beginning of Certified Nurses Assistant classes and our Registered Nurses classes. I’m working this year to engage the public to remind them of the jewel we have here at Gavilan College. I will continue hosting the Coffee and Conversation meetings on Saturdays with the public this year throughout the district this semester. We also offer classes

that the public can take which includes work training courses. It has been a hallmark of mine to remind and reintroduce what Gavilan offers for the community. I also invite input as to what we should be adding to our school. Can you tell me more about what is happening at Coyote Valley?

The main thing we have there is our South Bay Regional Training Consortium, or, The Academy. There are nine colleges that are involved in that, but Gavilan is the host, so we are the main college. They offer fire and police training for the whole region. Gavilan also offers general education classes there like math and some social sciences classes. We are also working to expand our Administrative Justice program. Gavilan offers 10 sections there this semester and so far we have about 150 of our students up there. It’s only our second semester, so we hope to continue growing. Will Gavilan support any new bond issues in the near future?

The Gavilan Board of Trustees has moved forward a disabilities study for a new general obligation bond. That means that we are exploring if the communities that we serve will be willing to support a bond measure in November 2018. What is a general obligation bond?

A general obligation bond is when members of the community

agree to have a portion of their tax dollars based on their property, allocated to the community college. The last general obligation bond was back in 2003 which was for $108 million. How much money does Gavilan want to raise in 2018?

We have not yet determined the valuation of property in the community, so we are not yet sure what we can ask for. There are a lot of different projects we would like to look going forward. We have over 50 acres at Coyote Valley and about 77 acres at Fairview Corners in Hollister. How was the money from the last bond measure spent?

You can go on our website to find our Citizen’s Oversight Committee report. Mainly those dollars went to purchase land in San Benito County and at Coyote Valley. The money also went to a lot of projects at our Gilroy campus which included water towers, electrical work, better wireless internet and other upgrades to our buildings. We have also set up the groundwork for the next phase of projects, which will begin now. We need to be ready to accommodate the growth that is happening in our area and our educational master plan has been designed to meet those demands. There will be a lot more college aged students coming in the next few decades and we want to make sure we can serve that community.

Trust fund documents will get forensic analysis ➝ Dabo, 1

assembled by John Clark, a Morgan Hill lawyer for the Charitable Foundation for San Benito County— was delivered by the Free Lance to Hooper’s office on Nov. 27. She had told the Free Lance on Nov. 22 that she would assign a forensic accountant to look at Dabo’s handling of finances for the Matulich Trust if she received evidence from the police. Reynoso said this week Hollister police would review the documents and return them back to the district attorney. The documents were presented at the Nov. 13 civil trial in San Benito Superior Court in which the judge ruled that Dabo had violated state probate

laws when he drained more than $640,000 from the Matulich Charitable Trust for his own purposes, and ordered him to pay a $1.74 million judgment, plus more than $80,000 in legal bills. Dabo told the Free Lance this week he could not comment about his role as trustee of the Matulich Trust, fearing that anything he might say could impact the criminal investigation. “I am caught between a rock and a hard place,” he said. Dabo said he cannot afford to hire an attorney. “There’s always two sides.” But he declined an offer to present his side, except to say he is hopeful the district attorney will decide not to prosecute. More than a year ago,

both Hooper and the police declined to pursue any investigation of Dabo’s handling of the charitable trust, despite pleas from the Community Foundation, which had been designated to receive funds in the trust. The trust was established in 2001 by Barbara and Tony Matulich. Tony Matulich died in 2003 and Barbara Matulich died in 2012, when the balance was to go to the community foundation. Instead, according to the court documents, it was transferred into Dabo’s personal accounts. “We have always indicated that a forensic accounting analyst is needed to properly bring an investigation to a point where we could develop probable cause and for the

to pick a new president. Dabo had told the board he would not be attending the Thursday meeting. He also did not attend the last board meeting, on Nov. 30. He said he is not resigning from the board. He is up for reelection in 2018. Dabo has been a county school trustee for 34 years and was elected president by his fellow trustees in December 2015 and December 2016. Board Vice President Joan Campbell-Garcia presided at Thursday’s school board meeting in Hollister.

the region. Similar measures passed last year in Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. Pothole laden local roads and a congested regional highway system require the most attention, according to the plan. “When we identify some of those projects, the bigger ticket projects are kind of by default the larger highway projects,” Lezama said. “They’re more costly and therefore the revenue is going toward those projects.” “In the past and more recent years, local streets and roads have been on the forefront of the board priority list,” she said. “We do

TRANSPORTATION GOALS The Draft 2040 Regional Transportation Plan is a guide for transportation investments and helps set policy to support planned growth. The plan is a collaboration between the Council of San Benito County Governments, the region’s transportation agency, and others including San Benito County, Hollister, San Juan Bautista, Caltrans, resource agencies and community members. The council is accepting public comments on the regional transportation plan from now to Feb. 5. On Jan. 18, 2018 the group’s Board of Directors, which includes local government representatives, is expected to hold a meeting to take public comment on the draft. Final adoption of the regional transportation plan is roughly six months away. The council’s board will consider adopting the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan at a meeting next year on June 21.

Senate Bill 1, or SB 1, passed in the California legislature earlier this year and increased state gas taxes and vehicle license fees in order to raise funds for the state highway system and local roads. Though revenue from the tax did not start generating until late in the year, San Benito County has already received more than $650,000. The county estimates it needs $398 million to maintain and repair all roads in the county. It is projected that SB 1 revenues will increase over the years and the county could receive up to $2.68 million in fiscal year 2020/2021.

need to improve our local roads and we’re trying to find creative ways to do that. San Benito is a small community and we don’t always get the state and federal dollars that come to smaller communities.” Nearly every region in California does not have enough money to fix local roads, Gilbert said. “Road maintenance has been neglected for years due to lack of funding at the state level,” Gilbert said. “With Senate Bill 1, that’s generating new revenues. As the years go on, hopefully revenues will start to catch up with our need in that regard. The worse condition the road is in, the more expensive it is to repair.”

OPINION LETTERS Housing madness When will the madness end? I see the latest public hearing is 100 percent about new housing. It is nearly impossible to leave Hollister during morning commute times in a timely manner; also difficult with lengthy delays to return to Hollister in the p.m. What benefit do Hollister residents get from this madly increased housing development? I pay $86 per month in an outrageous sewage bill (surrounding areas much, much less) amounting to nearly $1million dollars a month income to the city. Do new developments share this burden initially? They should. As well as police, fire, schools, hospital, city administration costs. As a native-borne Hollisterian I have seen this once lovely community decline due to overpopulation. Do we have self-serving officials who are there only to serve these modern carpet-baggers? William Colburn Hollister, Calif.

FROM THE WEB Hollister police chief to attend FBI academy This course is paid for by the FBI, housing, food, coursework.

to activity and location. Then, there are others like San Juan Bautista, which has chosen to temporarily ban all commercial activity to give the city time to draft an ordinance and set of rules that work for them. A cannabis retailer in Oregon, which legalized adult use in 2014, said with regulation, he estimated up to 50 percent of cannabis brands and products had folded. Keeping up with state-mandated rules on packaging, dosing, labeling and accounting was too expensive and cumbersome for many of the people who got into the industry for kicks or for passion. Suddenly, cannabis was a real industry and not everyone could keep up with the changing landscape. So far, the District of Columbia and eight states: Alaska, Maine, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, Washington, Oregon and California have legalized the use of both recreational and medical cannabis. It is not difficult to see that with the full adoption of Proposition 64 in the state, California will be the biggest player in the country by far. Expect to see tour groups from Europe, Asia and every corner of the world flocking to California to experience legal cannabis as they visit the Hollywood sign or the Golden Gate Bridge. The green rush is happening folks and the state may never be the same.

he tables were filled with cannabis-infused edibles, from granola chunks to dark chocolate bites. A nearby booth had flavored cannabis milk dished out in small plastic cups, the enthusiastic pitchman warning of the potency of the blackberry-scented drink. Then there were the topicals—thick lotions that smelled like lemongrass and lavender—and serums, tinctures and salves. But, this would not be the Emerald Cup, Northern California’s premier cannabis conference without plenty of the holy green. Exhibitors displayed the crystalladen flower, its buds cured and trimmed until they were like nuggets. Growers displayed them in glass jars, propped on sticks so attendees could get a 360-degree view or in curio boxes normally used to store cherished mementos. Still others had bags of the stuff and without much fanfare hoisted them onto the table so attendees could catch a whiff of its pungent, heady smell. The last medical cannabis cup until California transitions to recreation next year, the fulfillment of Proposition 64, passed by voters in 2016, the atmosphere at the event was electric but bittersweet. A lone sign read, “RIP Prop 215,” a nod to the landmark medical cannabis legislation passed by voters in 1996. Over the years, cannabis growers, formed into nonprofit collectives, provided the medicinal plant to patients to treat any number of ills, from stress, anxiety and PTSD to seizures, glaucoma and chronic pain. Some of these pioneers lamented the loss of the old medical scene and looked into the future when investors and corporations only seeing dollar signs would take over the industry, buying out or overtaking the mom and pop collectives and growers who saw cannabis as a healing way of life. It is estimated that sales of cannabis in California could reach $5 billion. Since Proposition 64 passed last year local jurisdictions across the state have had to make the important decision on whether to allow cannabis suppliers, retailers, processors, etc., to operate within their boundaries. Some, like Hollister have embraced the new industry, while enacting specific guidelines in relation

The Dabo case may still be too complex and costly to pursue criminal charges. It appears Dabo is free to continue his business. I wonder if Dabo donated money to any local politicians or elected officials campaigns. Lee Roberts Via Facebook

New permanent homeless shelter opens in Hollister

I wonder where parents with a child can stay. Are there plans to home the parent/child at night? Can anyone tell me when those that sleep there must get up and vacate in the morning? Or is this a warming shelter where they can stay out of the rain during the day? Nancy McDowell Via Facebook

Editor response: There is also a facility for families in Hollister. It is the warming shelter at the Migrant Center on Southside Road. The facility is seasonal, however.

Granite Rock gets Clean Water Act fines AROMAS FACILITY CITED FOR LACK OF OIL-SPILL PREVENTION MEASURES Staff report

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is requiring Granite Rock to control stormwater runoff and improve oil spill prevention at California facilities. The federal agency has reached a settlement with Granite Rock Company over Clean Water Act violations at three of its road materials manufacturing and recycling facilities in Northern California.

The agreement requires the company to pay a $102,051 penalty to address stormwater discharge violations at two of its Redwood City facilities and oil pollution prevention violations at a facility in Aromas. Granite Rock will also complete a watershed cleanup project as part of the settlement. “The waterways of San Francisco Bay and the Monterey Peninsula are important to the region’s unique ecology and economy,” said Alexis Strauss, Acting Regional Administrator

for the EPA’s Pacific Southwest Region. “It is critical for industrial facilities to control stormwater runoff and prevent oil spills, given the potential to harm precious water resources and wildlife.” As part of the agreement, Granite Rock will also complete a Supplemental Environmental Project, removing 800 cubic yards of trash and debris from the Coyote Creek and Pajaro River watersheds. The project, which will be completed by October 2019 and cost almost $78,000, will

remove contaminants and improve habitat for anadromous fish, including endangered steelhead trout. An EPA inspection, conducted in partnership with the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board, found that Granite Rock’s Peninsula Road Materials and Peninsula Recycling Services facilities failed to use best management practices—such as routinely sweeping paved surfaces and using covered storage areas for potential pollutants— to reduce or eliminate

pollutants in stormwater runoff. In addition to the settlement, EPA previously ordered Granite Rock to improve stormwater controls at the Redwood City facilities and to redirect stormwater flows to an active treatment system that will remove pollutants prior to discharge. These changes will be in place by July 1, 2018. The settlement also resolves Granite Rock’s violations of the Oil Pollution Act’s Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure requirements at its A.R. Wilson Road Materials facility

in Aromas. In response to EPA’s inspection, the company has cleaned up all petroleum product leaks and spills at the facility, installed additional secondary containment around petroleum product storage tanks, and conducted tank integrity testing. EPA's proposed settlement with Granite Rock is subject to a 30-day public comment period and final approval and is available at: www. epa.gov/publicnotices/ granite-rock-companyproposed-settlementclean-water-act-class-iiadministrative.

It is critical for industrial facilities to control stormwater runoff and prevent oil spills given the potential to harm precious water resources and wildlife. —ALEXIS STRAUS, EPA SOUTHWEST REGIONAL ADMINISTRATOR

OBITUARIES June 7, 1947 - November 30, 2017

r. Daniel W. Gregg, a veterinarian in Morgan Hill since 1976, passed away on November 30, 2017. Daniel was born June 7, 1947, to Warren and Irma Gregg. He grew up in Storm Lake, Iowa where he met his future wife, Jeanne Saathoff. They married in 1970, and the following year Dan graduated from Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine.

Dan first worked as a veterinarian in suburban Chicago, then moved to the East Bay where he was the surgeon in a busy small animal practice in San Pablo, California. He opened the Morgan Hill Animal Hospital on Monterey Road in early 1976. During his 32 years in business Dan employed several associate veterinarians, and in his final years of practice, his brother, Dr. Stephen Gregg often worked with him. He was voted The Times Best Veterinarian every year the award was given, including in 2009, the year he retired. Until the 101 freeway was completed to San Jose, local veterinarians took all their own emergency calls, working nights, weekends, and holidays. Dan organized the small animal veterinarians in Morgan Hill, San Martin and Gilroy into a rotational shared emergency coverage, which freed up their “off ” hours -- especially in the days before cell phones. Dan was an active member of the community, serving on a variety of non-profit boards and committees. He held many positions in Rotary, including president. Dan began scouting as a den leader and continued, becoming an assistant scout master in Troop 799. He was the finance chairman of the Magic Ship of Christmas for many years, and continued his work in scouting long after his son had moved on to college. Dan is survived by his wife, Jeanne, son David, daughter Andrea and husband Sergio Guajardo, and three grandchildren. He is also survived by brother Dr. Richard Gregg and wife, Sarah, brother Dr. Stephen Gregg, sister Patricia Barr and husband Dr. David Barr, as well as many other relatives and friends. A Celebration of Life honoring Dan will be held January 13, 2018 at 11:00am in the Hiram Morgan Hill room of the Community and Cultural Center in Morgan Hill. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to the Morgan Hill Rotary Foundation, PO Box 283, Morgan Hill, CA 95038.

Local leaders updated on Nash Road bypass BUSY STRETCH IN MIDDLE OF SAN BENITO HIGH SCHOOL TO BE RECONSTRUCTED NEXT YEAR Nicholas Preciado Reporter

Local leaders got an update on a new traffic channel that will make it easier, and safer, for pedestrians and motorists to drive through a busy stretch of road at the sprawling San Benito High School campus in Hollister. Located on Nash Road, between Monterey and West Streets, the new bypass is still in the design phase. Construction is set to being next year. Officials from Hollister, San Juan Bautista and San Benito County received an update on the Nash Road bypass during last week’s intergovernmental committee meeting. On Thursday December 7, the group learned that 60 percent of the bypass design documents from the engineering firm were back with the county, ready for review. “The information that I have from the Resource Management Agency is that the consultant and the RMA department have been coordinating with the school’s architects and staff regularly as well as the water district’s engineers on the project,” County Management Analyst Louie Valdez said. “Sixty percent of the design documents are on the desk of [Capital Program Manager] Adam Goldstone for review. They’re working on providing comments to those consultants and getting those back to them as quickly as possible.”

SAFETY MEASURE A bypass on Nash Road between

Monterey and West Streets aims to make the busy stretch of road at San Benito High School safer for pedestrians and motorists. Construction is set to begin in 2018, with a total project cost of $1.3 million.

The San Benito County Board of Supervisors approved a $153,140 contract in September with Santa Cruz-based Mesiti-Miller Engineering for design services. The contract covers work from September to December 31, 2018. Construction of the Nash Road bypass is expected to begin early next summer. Hollister Vice Mayor Karson Klauer wondered if the timeline was realistic. “Does anyone actually think that it can be done in that timeframe?” Klauer asked. “It was at 30 percent design like eight months ago, now we’re at 60 percent design. We’ve still got to get to 100 percent, then go out to bid, then choose a bid, then you’ve got to have time for those people to come out and actually do it. It’s taken us a year and a half to get to 60 percent design from just having talks. I don’t know how you actually build a road in eight months.” Valdez informed Klauer that he’s been working closely with RMA Director John Guertin to push the project through.

“We’re going to try,” Valdez said. “How it ends up at the beginning of the summer or getting close to that, we’ll provide the intergovernmental committee with reports. We’re going to push as hard as we can.” Klauer said it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if the project took longer. “It would just be good to have everybody under a reasonable expectation of when it’s going to happen,” Klauer said. In November 2016, the Hollister City Council, San Benito County Board of Supervisors and the San Benito High School District approved an interagency agreement to close a busy portion of Nash Road near the high school due to safety concerns. The bypass road needs to be constructed and opened before the closure goes into effect. The project has a total cost of around $1.3 million. Funds are from voter-approved Measure G passed in 2014. The goal is to complete construction by August 2018.

Local students pen patriotic essay Hollister VFW Post 9242 is proud to announce the winners of the 2017 Patriot’s Pen Essay Contest. Out of 56 entries, Ramon Covarrubias, a 7th grader at Cienega School, wrote the winning essay, “America’s Gift to My Generation.” Covarrubias will receive a check for $200. His essay was forwarded to the 12th District, which covers an area from South San Francisco to King City, for the next level of competition. Alexzander Svenningsen, a fellow student at Cienega School along with runners up Dylan Yearton, Colby Honeycutt and Michael DelCarlo from Spring Grove School, Danielle Gomez from Southside School and Cole Wyrick from Tres Pinos School will each receive a $25 check. Certificates of Merit will be awarded to all essay writers.

Hollister mulls residential growth plan CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERS ANNUAL CAP ON NEW SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES Nicholas Preciado Reporter

single-family homes, with Mayor Ignacio Velazquez dissenting and a recusal from Vice Mayor Karson Klauer. The recusal stemmed from one of Klauer’s real estate clients who expressed interest in submitting a development proposal under the growth management plan. Pinnacle Strategy President Victor Gomez echoed Richman’s point. “Marty made an excellent point, we’re not doing our fair share when it comes to housing development here in Hollister,” Gomez said. “I understand public sentiment and concern about growth, but our numbers show we’re not doing our part to contribute to the short housing stock in California.” The state needs to add 180,000 new homes annually just to keep up with population growth, according to the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Currently, the state adds less than half of that—80,000.

Roseann Hernandez Cattani

As the Hollister skyline changes with the construction of new housing, city leaders are looking at an annual cap on new singlefamily homes as part of a residential growth management plan. At a special city council meeting Monday, local policymakers fielded comments from a crowd that was largely in favor of continual growth as a way to spur economic development and continue the city’s recovery from a devastating yearslong building moratorium and economic recession. The council expects to adopt its growth management plan early next year. “If we start talking slow growth, that will affect business in our community,” said San Benito County Chamber of Commerce

President and CEO Juli Vieira. “If there’s no housing for employees, why would a business want to come to San Benito County?” Because of a massive sewage spill that sent 15 million gallons of wastewater into the San Benito Riverbed, Hollister was unable to undertake any new construction until a moratorium was lifted in 2008, as the Great Recession and related housing crisis. Since 2008, 560 homes have been built within Hollister city limits, including 144 units constructed last year alone. “This has got to be 200 to 300 units minimum,” resident Marty Richman said in response to a council suggestion that the number of single-family homes be capped at 165 per year. “One-hundred and sixty-five units means don’t come here, we’re not going to be building anything for anyone,” Ultimately the council settled on an annual allotment of 244 units of

BUILD IT The number of new single-family homes like these currently under construction on South Street in Hollister may be limited to fewer than 250 per year as part of the city’s residential growth management plan set to be adopted in January. Mayor Ignacio Velazquez advocated having mixed types of units in new neighborhoods. “The mix is important to me so we’re providing communities within neighborhoods,” Velazquez said. “It works well and is being done all over. I think we really have to be pushing toward that goal so we’re not isolating

one neighborhood only for affordable housing.” There was no talk of limiting affordable housing, senior housing, secondary units, special needs housing, and rentals. The council directed staff to look into having the program sunset at the completion of the next general plan update, which is currently underway and

serves as a guide for the city to map out its growth over the next two decades. The council also wanted staff to look at making minor changes to a scoring system that is used to rate potential development projects. The growth management program is expected back before the council for adoption in January.

the downtown area. “Regardless of what we do on a local level, this is a state exclusion zone and we’re comfortable with that,” Mayor Chris Martorana said. “It covers the downtown, the schools, the church. It’s pretty broad.” Planning Commissioner Darlene Boyd said she was concerned about land use restrictions and is open to cultivation in agriculture areas. “I think they are too restrictive,” Boyd said. “I think we ought to look at expanding those outside sensitive areas. If we have an agriculture buffer and we’re talking about cultivation, that is ag behavior.” Resident Mandisa Snodey said the city doesn’t have to worry about converting black market cannabis operations into regulated ones. “We can start from scratch,” Snodey said. “I

Roseann Hernandez Cattani

As California gets ready to issue business licenses for cannabis in the coming months, San Juan Bautista takes its first step towards allowing the new industry within city limits. The city council and planning commission held a joint meeting last week to discuss and take public comment on a cannabis ordinance that would be the first step in regulating commercial activity. There is currently a ban on all cannabis sales, cultivation and delivery in the historic town. “The ordinance lays the foundation for allowing cannabis operations, both medical and recreational or one, moving forward,” said Victor Gomez, president of

Pinnacle Strategy, a consulting firm that is helping the city and San Benito County on their cannabis policy. “There is a second layer that comes after the ordinance.” That second layer will include the rules, regulations, operating procedures and security measures for any potential cannabis businesses. “When it comes to the rules and regulations, these operations will need surveillance accessible by the city and police,” Gomez said. Discussions include keeping cannabis operations within zoned industrial areas outside of the downtown. Any cannabis cultivations would need to be inside a greenhouse or warehouse. There would also be a 600-foot setback from youth facilities, which is also a state rule. Because of the city’s small size, this would prohibit a majority of cannabis commercial activity in

think that puts us at a comparative advantage to San Benito County or the City of Hollister. It puts us ahead because we’re not having to adjust any current operations.” While there was support for allowing cannabis

businesses in the city, some residents cautioned officials not to get caught up in the gold rush. “It’s time for you all to be cautious, careful and to make sure the city can oversee the complex issues in lifting the marijuana ban,”

resident Rachel Ponce said. “The city’s limitations in staff and law enforcement have to be taken into consideration very carefully. Don’t rush into lifting the ban because of potential revenue. Mismanagement can ruin this community.”

Jobs, jobs, jobs. That is what county leaders heard Tuesday as they adopted an economic development strategy that aims to create more local employment, fill industrial parks, attract new business to the region and train local workers to get well-paid jobs. “I really do believe that this is just what we need,” Supervisor Anthony Botelho said after Economic Development Corporation Project Manager Kristina Chavez Wyatt presented the comprehensive

plan. “It brings all the agencies into focus and what we need to do to enhance opportunities within our own county.” Currently, there are approximately 16,000 workers in the region. According to the plan, that number is expected to top nearly 20,000 by 2035. “It’s anticipated to grow by 25 percent by 2035,” Chavez Wyatt said. “Our farm employment is 11 percent, which is much higher than the state average of 2 percent.” According to the plan, major job clusters in the region include agriculture and agriculture services, food processing, distribution and chemicals. The influx of new homebuyers from

Silicon Valley has grown San Benito County’s median income from $65,000 to $71,000 from 2006 to 2015. Chavez Wyatt said median income is anticipated to rise to $96,000 by 2020. Median income in the region for a family of four is $81,000, which Chavez Wyatt said is too high for the county to qualify for numerous state and federal programs. “One of the issues we’re dealing with is we have a living wage of $47,000 here in our county for a family of four,” she said. “This is an issue because our housing prices are inflated by the incomes in Silicon Valley. We have two economies: people that live here and those that work

here, but may not be able to afford to live here based on our median wage.” The plan, which was unanimously adopted by the board of supervisors and supported by the cities of San Juan Bautista and Hollister, laid out eight goals for the next five years. “First and foremost, we need to act collaboratively,” Chavez Wyatt said. “We need to make the most and leverage all of our resources, our interests and our passions. Between the three local jurisdictions, the cities and the county, and many economic development entities throughout the county, we all need to recognize the important role we all take in our

thriving local economy.” Chavez Wyatt explained the process, which started in the spring, was long overdue and kept local jurisdictions from qualifying for critical federal and state funding that could be used to spur economic development in the region. “This community hasn’t had a community economic development strategy since 2008,” Chavez Wyatt said. “Therefore, we’ve been ineligible to go to the Economic Development Corporation for funding. What we saw with approval and adoption of the county general plan in 2015, it had an economic development element. The strategy will also fulfill requirements for us to receive grant funding.”

Other goals outlined in the plan, include investing in local business development and attraction, investing in talent development, retention and education, improving business climate and competitiveness, investing in infrastructure maintenance and growth, supporting an entrepreneurial culture, ensuring community safety and health and creating economic resiliency. “We’d like to communicate that San Benito County is open for business,” Chavez Wyatt said.

CELEBRATION Robert Fabing and his wife, Mary, celebrate the college graduation of their daughter, Taylor, along with sons Trevor and Connor last Friday.

Fabing an inspiration Emanuel Lee Sports Editor

Menez, who pitched for the San Jose Giants this past season, and Hunter Haworth, who signed with the Boston Red Sox after getting drafted by them last summer. It’s a Who’s Who of former San Benito athletes who want to give back to a man who has endeared himself to the community with his passion for youth and sports. The rest of the guest instructor list includes Michael Breen, Zak Moeller, Josh George, J.C. Clayton, Paige Miguel, Megan Sabbatini and Taylor Fabing, Robert’s daughter. In conjunction with the Baler baseball and softball programs, Gillies helped organize the event. “It’s great that you have all these people coming to give ➝ Robert Fabing, 20

Robert Fabing spends up to three hours a day walking around Hollister to keep in shape—and that’s just during the morning and early afternoon hours. In the evening, the 60-year-old Fabing spends his time indoors running up and down a court refereeing high school basketball games. Fabing has a great reason for being active, as he is on the long road back to recovery after undergoing brain cancer surgery in May 2016. “I can’t stand sitting at home watching TV, so my goal everyday is to get the hell out of the house since I can’t work yet,” he said. “I want to get in shape and stay in shape. My doctors are happy.” They’re not the only ones who are joyful this Christmas

season. A longtime coach and sports official, Fabing has affected countless lives in the greater South Valley area, especially youth baseball players. As one way to show their appreciation for Fabing, the San Benito High baseball and softball programs will host a benefit clinic at the high school on Dec. 22 and 23, with proceeds going to the Fabing family and the Baler baseball and softball teams. A slew of former San Benito High standouts will be there as special instructors, headlined by Darin Gillies, who recently completed his initial foray into the Arizona Fall League after a solid season with the Arkansas Travelers, the Double-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. Other guest instructors include Daniel Barone, who had a stint pitching for the Florida Marlins, Connor

Arevalo, Balers on cusp of a special season Emanuel Lee Sports Editor

Through Tuesday’s action, Abraham Arevalo had picked up just one yellow card in six games. Last season, Arevalo came close to earning a yellow card in almost every match. The San Benito High senior midfielder will be counted upon by his teammates and coach to stay poised even during the most tense situations. Arevalo might be the Draymond Green of the Haybalers, the glue that holds the team together. Simply put, just like the Golden State Warriors need Green on the floor to be at their

best, so do the Balers need Arevalo to be on the pitch for them to be successful. Arevalo, for his part, knows how valuable he is to the team and can’t make excuses this season if he lets his emotions get the best of him. Arevalo credits Balers coach Marco Orozco for helping him in the mental aspect of the game. “Coach Orozco has done a lot for me since last year,” Arevalo said. “He talks to me whenever I’m losing my cool or if I get nervous before a game. He always knows what to say to calm me down and makes sure I don’t lose my composure.”

San Benito is off to a 3-0-3 start, having recorded an impressive 3-0 win over Homestead and a 1-1 draw with Los Altos, two traditionally strong teams. Although Arevalo hasn’t lit up the score sheet yet—he’s been nicked up in the early going—he’s confident in due time he’ll either be assisting or scoring just like he did last season. A playmaking midfielder, Arevalo possesses a quick initial burst when he gets possession. Arevalo plays fast, a perfect complement to the Balers’ free-flowing, possession-type ground game. “We have to control the play by sticking to the game plan,

which is a lot of passing and touches,” he said. Depending on where he is on the field, Arevalo will look to either distribute the ball to a wing player or look to score from in close or far, as he is armed with a lethal leg that allows him to put potent shots on goal from up to 35 yards away. Arevalo can run hot at times, but it’s that same passion that fuels his play. “He is a true leader and is always willing to sacrifice for the team,” Orozco said. The Balers are potentially on the cusp of a special season. They’re off to their best start in recent memory,

and play in the Homestead Tournament gold division championship match against Alvarez on Saturday. If San Benito ends up finishing among the top two teams in the Monterey Bay League’s Gabilan Division—arguably the best league in the Central Coast Section along with the West Catholic League— then it will be a legitimate force to win its first-ever section title. “I believe the team this year can be special,” Arevalo said. “We’ve definitely picked up our ball movement and communication. We’re playing together more and it’s ➝ Abraham Arevalo, 20

Benefit clinic to support Balers, Fabing ➝ Robert Fabing, 19

back,” San Benito High baseball coach Billy Aviles said. “Robert has helped so many kids in the community and has had a positive impact on so many kids’ lives as a coach and umpire.” But Fabing’s impact goes beyond San Benito County. As a Gilroy High graduate and part of Peninsula Sports, Inc.—one of the officials’ association the Central Coast Section uses—people from the South Valley and Monterey area know Fabing as well. “We’re getting people calling from Gilroy and Monterey wanting to help because Robert knows so many people,” Aviles said. Fabing is humbled to know that dozens of former athletes, coaches and friends will be at the clinic, which goes from 9 a.m. to noon for 8 to 12-year-olds and 1 to 4 p.m. for the 13 to 16-year-old age group for both days. The price of admission is $100, and checks can be made to Baler Backers, with all of the proceeds going to the San Benito baseball and softball programs, along to the Fabing family. “It’s heartwarming to know I

was able to make an impact in kids’ lives,” Fabing said. “It’s all about heart. If they see you care about them and love the game, they’ll remember that for the rest of their lives.” Fabing was diagnosed with high stage two brain cancer on March 26, 2016, a moment that not surprisingly left him in tears. After the initial shock, however, Fabing approached cancer as he did every part of his life: in attack mode, ready to take on a challenge. “After two to three days of being diagnosed, I said, ‘Let’s go, crack my head open and cut the cancer out,’” Fabing said. “My attitude was to get after it and continue to work.” And that’s exactly what Fabing did. In May 2016, Fabing underwent a successful yet harrowing 11-hour surgery. Two months later, Fabing started an eightweek program of daily radiation treatments, along with nine total months of chemotherapy. The treatments worked, as Fabing’s cancer is in remission. Fabing was back at UCSF Tuesday for his bi-monthly

checkup in which he undergoes a battery of tests. “I passed all my tests big time,” he said. “I’m way ahead of the game.” It goes without saying that the Baler baseball community has already received the best Christmas gift possible—Fabing is alive and well, and itching to return to a “normal” life. “My goal and dream is to go back to work again, hopefully some time in 2018,” said Fabing, who worked for a termite company in San Jose before his cancer diagnosis in March 2016. Make no mistake: Fabing is happy to be alive. But he’s not going to sugarcoat his current state, as he still has trouble recalling certain names or facts that he would otherwise would come up with pre-surgery. On New Year’s Day, Fabing will start a new round of medicine in the hopes that it will basically “get my brain going back so I can pass all my tests and get cleared to work.” Fabing has received tremendous support from Mary, his wife of 32 years; his two sons, Trevor

and Connor; and Taylor, who graduated from Arizona Christian University last Friday. The latter was anything but a foregone conclusion, since Fabing’s diagnosis came in Taylor’s junior year. “It was very emotional to see Taylor graduate,” Fabing said. “It wasn’t an easy thing for her to be in Arizona while this was happening. She flew back often, and if I hadn’t pushed her it would’ve been hard for her to graduate because I was in the hospital for so long. I’m so proud of all of my kids.” Fabing’s life forever changed on March 23, 2016, when he was watching San Benito play at Valley Christian in San Jose. During the middle innings, Fabing collapsed, his head banging against the concrete. As he lay in a pool of blood momentarily unconscious, Fabing awoke in a haze. “I was looking up at the sky and thought I was looking at God,” he said. “I thought I was gone. Finally I was able to see and feel a lady from the stands, whose son was playing shortstop. She was the one who jumped in and rescued me.”

Fabing got assessed before being taken to the hospital, where doctors feared the worst. Three days later, Fabing was diagnosed with high stage 2 brain cancer. To this day, Fabing counts his blessings that he didn’t black out while driving, as it could’ve led to horrific injuries not just to him but to others. To get some insight into his competitive personality, Fabing seemed a bit embarrassed that the game was momentarily stopped because of him. The Balers ended up defeating Valley Christian, 3-2. “I can’t believe I missed a Balers victory,” he said. On Dec. 22 and 23, the San Benito High baseball and softball programs in conjunction with Gillies, will be hosting more than just a clinic—it’ll be an event symbolizing how tight-knit the Baler sports community is, paying tribute to a person who has left a lasting impact and will continue to leave a legacy going forward.

Arevalo and Balers know how to kick it ➝ Abraham Arevalo, 19

junior who is playing his first year on the varsity squad. Agredano has done a marvelous job of creating scoring chances for his teammates and himself. “Jose has tremendous speed, and his ball work is amazing,” Arevalo said. “He knows what to do under pressure.” Forward Manny Ceja has also been lethal, finishing most of his scoring chances this season. Ceja has a goal scorer’s instinct, knowing when and where to shoot. “Manny is always putting

himself in the best position to score,” Arevalo said. “He is finishing every ball he gets.” Arevalo said he wants to improve his speed and ball control skills so that he’ll be better equipped to play at the college level. Possessing excellent vision, Arevalo credited Orozco, former Balers coach Johnny Regalado and Ramiero Ramos—Arevalo’s club coach a couple of years ago—for helping him develop into a solid allaround player. Despite not lacking for confidence, Arevalo

admitted that he didn’t always play with the mentality that he could be a difference-maker. “All of those coaches helped me with my confidence,” he said. “Early in my career, sometimes I would get scared with the ball and just kick it or launch it away. But as I got older, I listened to the coaches around me. They helped me to keep my cool and not get nervous, to shield the ball, look up everytime, maintain composure and to not get freaked out.”

HEAD GAMES Balers senior Abraham Arevalo has been instrumental to the team’s possession attack.

APN: 020-580-045-0 TS No: CA06000020-17-1 TO No: 8691794 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE (The above statement is made pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d)(1). The Summary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d) (2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED April 11, 2016. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On January 2, 2018 at 11:30 AM, at the Monterey Street entrance to the San Benito County Courthouse located at 440 5th St., Hollister, CA 95023, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on April 29, 2016 as Instrument No. 2016-0004320, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of San Benito County, California, executed by NICKOLI PENGELLY AND WHITNEY PENGELLY, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS JOINT TENANTS, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for UNITED SECURITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1091 CYPRESS ST, HOLLISTER, CA 95023 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $657,499.86 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA06000020-17-1. 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.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Edna B. Martin. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: Vincent Arroyo in the Superior Court of California, County of San Benito.

The PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 1-11-2018 Time: 1:30 p.m. Dept: 1, Superior Court of California County of San Benito, 450 Fourth Street, Hollister, California, 95023 . 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 to 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. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner, Vincent C. Catania, CSB# 196176, 215 W. Franklin St. Ste 310, Monterey, CA 93940 831.655.3330.

There will be a non-mandatory Pre-Bid conference at 1:00 pm on January 4, 2018 at the Airport Ter-minal Building, City of Hollister Municipal Airport, 90 Skylane Drive #101, Hollister, CA. This conference is to inform Bidders of required Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), Insurance requirements, and subcontracting. Also, the Contractors may ask questions regarding the project, scope of work, plans and specifications. Subsequent to the conference a tour of the Project site will be made for those wishing to attend — the tour will be an opportunity for prospective Bidders’ to investigate conditions at the site. In accordance with California Public Contract Code 20103.5 when federal funds are involved in local agency contracts, no bid shall be invalidated by the failure of the bidder to be licensed in California at the time of bid opening. However, at the time of award the selected contractor shall be properly licenses in ac-cordance with laws of the State and the City of Hollister. Contractor shall possess a Type “A” license prior to award of Contract or other license qualifying the bidder to bid as a prime Contractor, prior to award of Contract as approved by City. In accordance with the provisions of California Labor Code Sections 1770, 1773, 1773.1, 1773.6 and 1773.7 as amended, the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations has determined the general prevailing rate of per diem wages in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 1773 for the locali-ty in which the Work is to be performed. A copy of said wage rates is on file at the office of the City. It shall be mandatory for any Contractor to whom a Contract is awarded to pay not less than the applicable prevailing wage rate to all workers employed for the execution of the Contract and employ apprentices pursuant to Section 1777.5 of the California Labor Code. The general prevailing rate of wages, as determined by the Secretary of Labor are included herein-after as a part of the Contract Documents; provided, that if there is any difference between the State or Federal wage rates for any given craft or mechanic needed to execute the work, it shall be mandatory up-on the Contractor and any subcontractor to pay the higher of the two rates. Any classification omitted herein shall be paid not less than the minimum basic rate per hour plus employer payments as set forth in the collective bargaining agreement then applicable to the class or clas-sification of workmen or mechanics employed as defined in Section 1773.1 of the Labor Code of the State of California.

There is no DBE project goal established for this project. At this time, the City will meet the DBE goal on federally assisted projects through race neutral measures. The City supports the use of race neu-tral measures to facilitate participation by DBEs and other small businesses, and encourages prime con-tractors to subcontract portions of their work that they might otherwise perform with their own forces.

The Offeror’s or Bidder’s attention is called to the “Equal Opportunity Clause” and the “Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications” set forth herein. 2. The goals and timetables for minority and female participation, expressed in percentage terms for the contractor’s aggregate workforce in each trade on all construction work in the covered area, are as follows: Timetable Goals for minority participation for each trade Until further notice (23.2%) Goals for female participation in each trade Until further notice (6.9%) These goals are applicable to all of the contractor’s construction work (whether or not it is Federal or federally-assisted) performed in the covered area. If the contractor performs construction work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals established for such geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this second area, the contractor also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and non-federally involved construction. The Contractor’s compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4 shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the goals. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and the contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor’s goals shall be a violation of the contract, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed. 3. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) within 10 working days of award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract resulting from this solicitation. The notification shall list the name, address, and telephone number of the subcontractor; employer identification number of the subcontractor; estimated dollar amount of the subcontract; estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontract; and the geographical area in which the subcontract is to be performed. 4. As used in this notice and in the contract resulting from this solicitation, the “covered area” is: State of California, County of San Benito, City of Hollister. The successful bidder will be required to furnish the City of Hollister with a satisfactory performance bond and payment bond in the amount of 100% of the contract amount. CERTIFICATION OF NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES - 41 CFR PART 60-1.8 Notice to Prospective Federally Assisted Construction Contractors 1. A Certification of Non-segregated Facilities shall be submitted prior to the award of a federally-assisted construction contract exceeding $10,000 which is not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity Clause. 2. Contractors receiving federally-assisted construction contract awards exceeding $10,000 which are not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity Clause will be required to provide for the forwarding of the following notice to prospective subcontractors for supplies and con-struction contracts where the subcontracts exceed $10,000 and are not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity Clause. NOTE: The penalty for making false statements in offers is prescribed in 18 U.S.C. 1001. Notice to Prospective Subcontractors of Requirements for Certification of Non-Segregated Facilities 1. A Certification of Non-segregated Facilities shall be submitted prior to the award of a subcontract exceeding $10,000, which is not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity Clause. 2. Contractors receiving subcontract awards exceeding $10,000 which are not exempt from the pro-visions of the Equal Opportunity Clause will be required to provide for the forwarding of this no-tice to prospective subcontractors for supplies and construction contracts where the subcontracts exceed $10,000 and are not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity Clause. NOTE: The penalty for making false statements in offers is prescribed in 18 U.S.C. 1001. BUY AMERICAN PREFERENCES Buy American Certification - The successful bidder must comply with Title 49 U.S.C. Section 50101. Unless otherwise formally approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), all acquired steel and manufactured products installed under the AIP assisted project must be produced in the United States. The Buy America requirements flow down from first tier contractors, who are responsible for ensuring that lower tier contractors and subcontractors are in compliance. Section of 50101(b) permits conditional waivers of this preference. Specifically, the FAA will consider a waiver if the bidder can demonstrate: (1) Applying subsection 50101(a) is inconsistent with the public interest; (2) The steel and goods produced in the United States are not produced in a sufficient and reasonably available amount or are not of a satisfactory quality; (3) The cost of components and subcomponents produced in the United States is more than 60 percent of the cost of all components and final assembly occurs within the United States (4) The inclusion of domestic material will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent.As a condition of bid responsiveness, Bidder must indicate on the Buy American certification whether it in-tends to meet Buy American requirements by only installing 100% United States made steel and manufactured products or if they intend to request a permissible waiver to Buy America preferences. Waivers determinations addressed under exceptions (1) and (2) will generally be made as part of the bid so-licitation. Bidder may not request a waiver under exceptions (1) or (2). The successful bidder that desires a waiver under exception (3) shall make the request by selecting the ap-propriate certification statement and complying with the following conditions:- For equipment and material the FAA has already issued a waiver to AIP Buy American preferences as indicated on the current FAA Buy American conformance list, bidder shall submit a listing of specific equipment and material it proposes to install on the project prior to the issuance of a Noticeto-Proceed.- For equipment and material the FAA has not previously issued a waiver to Buy American preferences, the bidder identified with the apparent low bid agrees to prepare and submit to the owner a waiver request and component calculation information within 15 calendar days of the date of the notice of apparent award of contract.The successful bidder that desires a waiver under exception (4) shall make the request by selecting the ap-propriate certification statement and complying with the following conditions: - Provide detailed proposal costs using domestic product(s) and the overall project cost.- Provide detailed alternate proposal costs of the non-domestic product(s) and the overall project cost. - If the proposal with domestic product(s) is more than 25% of the proposal with non-domestic product(s), the bidder may request a waiver under exception (4). Bidder is hereby advised that Owner approval of any requested waiver is contingent upon approval by the FAA. The submission of a Bid shall be conclusive evidence that the Bidder agrees to comply with 49 USC § 50101, which provides that Federal funds may not be obligated unless all steel and manufactured goods used in AIP-funded projects are produced in the United States, unless the FAA has issued a waiver for the product; the product is listed as an Excepted Article, Material Or Supply in Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 25.108; or is included in the FAA Nationwide Buy American Waivers Issued list. A bidder or offeror must submit the appropriate Buy America Certification with all bids or offers on AIP funded projects. Bids or offers that are not accompanied by a completed Buy America certification must be rejected as nonresponsive.
