Morgan Hill school district brass are standing pat with their proposal to dramatically increase sports facility use rates to offset thousands in annual maintenance costs, while local youth leagues
are boiling over the abrupt plan that could severely impact their membership fees. Representatives from many of the affected leagues, including Orchard Valley Toros Soccer, PONY Baseball, NFL Flag Football and Spirit Softball of Morgan Hill, met with Morgan Hill Unified School District staff earlier this month to discuss the proposed change from a daily to an hourly rate. Those youth league representatives left the
meeting still discouraged by the district’s plan, which they said would cause some individual organizations’ annual facility rental costs to jump by thousands of dollars. The district has been charging a $15 per day, per facility fee to use school site fields. However, school officials are proposing a steady rate hike over the next three years with an hourly rate climbing to as much as $38.58 for nonprofit
leagues and $77.17 for commercial use, according to a breakdown of the latest figures produced by the district. After the Jan. 3 sitdown at the district office, district staff notified league reps via email of the slightly reduced hourly rates from their initial proposal, which will go before Morgan Hill’s school board for approval at the Jan. 23 meeting. “We want to continue to partner with our
community organizations to ensure recreation activities are available for our youth, but the district cannot provide access to facilities at a detriment to the district’s educational program,” wrote school district Executive Secretary Allison Murray in an email sent Jan. 12 to the local sports leagues. But how much additional funds the district will generate from their new plan is up ➝ Facilities, 11
Homeowners question city’s BMR program LETTER CAUGHT BELOW MARKET RATE OWNERS BY SURPRISE Michael Moore Editor

Picture a school where...
learning is more intentional.
Janet and Tom Pocus are nearing the twilight of their 30-year agreement with the City of Morgan Hill that has established their home in the Sunrise Meadows neighborhood as part
of the Below Market Rate home ownership program. They’re looking forward to the expiration of that contract when, anticipating retirement, they will finally own their home without any further financial obligations or restrictions on what they can do with the property. But the Pocuses and some of their neighbors are worried that recent correspondence from the city’s affordable housing
administrator—as well as many changes to the BMR program since they moved in—might delay, or even eliminate their quest for the American dream. The Sunrise Meadows community—located off Calle Mazatan north of East Main Avenue—consists of about 60 homes. Janet Pocus said all of the homes were built in the early 1990s as part of the city’s vast affordable housing program.
On a tip from her sister, Janet said she and Tom— who had three small children at the time—put their name in the city’s BMR lottery when Sunrise Meadows, which was developed by now-defunct South County Housing, was in the planning stages. “They drew our name, and we got to choose the (home) we wanted,” Janet said in the family living room one evening in December. “We
got to walk through the walls” during construction. The couple in 1994 paid about $156,000 for the home, which was 75 percent of the fair market value. Under the city’s BMR program, home sales prices are marked down to varying levels that correspond to the new household’s percentage of the Area Median Income.

MHPD: Christmas Eve armed robber is arrested SUSPECT ACCUSED OF CRIMES IN SIX NEARBY CITIES Staff report
Police arrested a Hollister man Jan. 12 who is accused of robbing a Morgan Hill eyeglasses store and lounge at gunpoint on Christmas Eve, according to a press release. The same suspect is allegedly responsible for similar crimes in neighboring communities. Morgan Hill Police, assisted by agents from the Unified Narcotics Enforcement Team,
conducted surveillance and follow-up investigation on the suspect, Matthew Aaron De La Rosa, in Hollister. De La Rosa was located with his girlfriend, Christy Aguirre, 44 of Hollister, on Jan. 12. Aguirre was arrested by the San Benito County Sheriff ’s Office on suspicion of multiple unrelated offenses. Detectives executed a search warrant at De La Rosa’s home, which he shared with Aguirre, police said. During the search, police found evidence that tied him to the Christmas Eve robbery in Morgan Hill, as well as another robbery in Monterey. Police questioned De La
Rosa after his arrest, and he confessed to a total of six armed robberies—in Morgan Hill, Sunnyvale, Monterey, Seaside, San Jose and Capitola, according to MHPD. He was booked at Santa Clara County jail on suspicion of multiple armed robbery charges. On Dec. 24, 2017, De La Rosa entered EYEfiniTEA Optique & Lounge, 15700 Monterey Road. Wearing a surgical mask, the suspect looked around for a few minutes, selected two sets of eyewear and approached the counter as if he was going to pay for the merchandise, police said.
Once the clerk appeared behind the counter, De La Rosa lifted his shirt to display a handgun in his waistband, according to authorities. He then demanded money from the cash register and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash and the eyewear. The Morgan Hill Police investigation led officers to identify the suspect. MHPD released photos of De La Rosa to other nearby law enforcement agencies, some of which determined the same suspect had committed similar crimes in their jurisdictions, according to Morgan Hill police.

MHPD officer injured in on-duty traffic accident EXPECTED TO RETURN TO WORK BY END OF WEEK Michael Moore Editor
A Morgan Hill motorcycle officer is recovering from minor injuries after he was involved in a traffic accident south of town Jan. 10, according to police. The accident occurred just
after 4pm in the southbound lane of Monterey Road just after Watsonville Road, while Morgan Hill police were assisting other departments in closing the road in response to an unrelated gas leak farther south, according to authorities. PG&E asked police to close the road in the area of the gas leak, near California Avenue, to facilitate repairs. Sgt. Carlos Guerrero said employees of the city’s
Department of Public Works had just finished placing cones in the far right southbound lane on Monterey Road from Watsonville Road to Middle Avenue. The purpose of the lane closure was to divert Monterey Road vehicle traffic onto Middle Avenue, around the site of the gas leak. Traffic Officer John Kuhlen began driving his department motorcycle in the closed lane
from Watsonville Road to John Wilson Way. At the 15300 block of Monterey Road, an SUV “made a quick right turn” from the open southbound lane, across the closed lane toward the driveway of a residence on the west side of Monterey Road, Guerrero said. As the SUV crossed the closed lane, in which Kuhlen was riding, the vehicle struck Kuhlen and his motorcycle, Guerrero
said. The collision knocked Kuhlen onto the roadway. Kuhlen suffered a pain to his hip as a result of the collision, and he was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital, Guerrero said. He was later released from the hospital with minor injuries. Guerrero expects Kuhlen to be back on duty within a week. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the accident.
Police: Drunk Tesla driver crashes into MH creek 38-YEAR-OLD SANTA CRUZ MAN ARRESTED Staff report
A Santa Cruz man driving a Tesla sedan nearly jumped Coyote Creek in north Morgan Hill this past weekend, according to police.
About 3:45am Jan. 13, police responded to a single-vehicle accident near the intersection of Cochrane Road and Malaguerra Drive, Morgan Hill Police Sgt. Troy Hoefling said. A 2017 Tesla Model 3 was traveling eastbound on Cochrane Road when the driver “failed to recognize” that the road took a sharp right turn at the intersection of Malaguerra Drive,
just in front of Coyote Creek, Hoefling said. As a result, the Tesla continued straight off the east shoulder of Cochrane Road, into a street sign and a tree, Hoefling said. The vehicle came to rest about 40 feet off the roadway, partially submerged in Coyote Creek. The driver, Colin Flynn, 38, of Santa Cruz was arrested on suspicion of driving under the
influence, police said. He was not injured in the accident. Flynn initially told officers that he had swerved to avoid a deer, according to a post on the MHPD Facebook page. Police transported him to the Morgan Hill Police station, where he refused to provide a blood sample to test his blood alcohol content. Officers later obtained a search warrant, with which Flynn
eventually complied, according to police. The vehicle has been removed from the creek. Hoefling noted that emergency personnel had to be cautious of the fact that the Tesla is an electric vehicle, with batteries that could spill hazardous waste into the creek if damaged, or pose a risk of electrocution. However, such risks did not materialize in this incident.

Williams, who added that he felt safe drinking the water in any of the three cities after his findings. Each city had varying degrees of clarity and particles in the water. Oakwood classmate Guru Singh got inventive for his project titled, “Raspberry Pi Garage Door Opener App,” which was inspired by his mother always asking him if he closed the garage door. The 16-yearold placed a magnet sensor on his garage door that would indicate if it was open or closed, and that information was relayed through a computer program to an app on his phone. “I like science, but I really like to build stuff,” Singh said. Sophomore Valerie Doah delved into the chemistry of things for her science experiment, titled “Which is better at neutralizing acid reflux: Natural antacids or Chemical antacids?” She used different overthe-counter antacids and compared them to natural ones such as turmeric, cinnamon milk and tea. “The natural antacids are better,” said Doah, who tested the pH levels to draw her conclusions. The countywide science fair, called the Synopsys Science and Technology Championship, is scheduled for March 14-15 at the San Jose Convention Center. “We want to see more South County people involved in that,” said Heidi Black, who is on the board of directors for the Santa Clara Valley Science and Engineering Fair Association. “There are so many opportunities. We want to see you all participating.”

With her project titled, “The Making of my Electrocardiogram,” Oakwood School junior Renee Bostak hoped to discover indicators of a heart condition. Classmate Monte Williams' project used science to compare the water quality in different South County communities. Britton Middle School duo Diya Kendhra and Nikoo Shahab tested for the best renewable fuels. These were just some of the experiments presented by local students at the Jan. 11 South Valley Science Fair. Bostak, 16, performed stress tests, both mental and physical, on three people in hopes that it would reveal whether they suffered a possible life-threatening ailment. “I wanted to find out if they had a heart condition before it was too late,” said Bostak, whose investigation led her to a first-place blue ribbon at the Jan. 11 competition held at Oakwood. “I had them put their finger on this sensor to see which affected their heart rate the most.” Her willing participants performed jumping jacks as a physical test and puzzle-solving as a mental test, after which she gauged their heart rate. “Those who were in better shape took less time to come down to their regular heart rate, while (for) those who were in lesser shape it was harder for them to come down to their regular heart rate,” said Bostak, whose favorite subject is biology. She plans to go into the medical field for a career. Bostak was one of dozens of high school and middle school students from Morgan Hill, San Martin, Gilroy and
San Jose who competed in the annual South Valley Science Fair. “It’s just a great opportunity every year. The students’ ingenuity never ceases to amaze me,” said Sean Wilmot, a science teacher at Oakwood. “There has to be more to science than just taking a test and doing homework, and this is what that is. It allows them to go outside of the textbook.” Kendhra and Shahab, eighth graders at Britton Middle School, were up for the challenge. They took home their second blue ribbon in as many months for their project titled, “A Duel Between Fuels.” They had previously won the Britton fair. “We improved our board from last time.... We are excited to go to the county competition now,” Kendhra said. “Winning is one thing, but it was awesome just to be here. I’m just happy to see all of the other students’ projects all around us.” Britton science teacher Jim Levis was proud of all his students who entered into the South Valley fair after completing the school event. “We had a number of students who never expected to place at the Britton fair, so they came to the regional,” Levis said. “A number of them revisited their presentations and got more data, and clarified their data before this one.” Williams, an Oakwood junior, tested the water quality using a water kit to compare the results from San Jose, Gilroy and Morgan Hill for his experiment, titled “South Bay Water Testing.” “I thought San Jose would have the best water because it has the biggest population,” said

OPINION LETTERS Bore underground for High Speed Rail Here’s a solution to High Speed Rail through Morgan Hill: I read an article that the city of Hawthorne, Calif., has signed a contract with the Elon Musk boring company to bore a two-mile tunnel for traffic. Why can't the state do the same thing with the High Speed Rail to bypass Morgan Hill downtown? Since there are no stops in Morgan Hill, this should be easy to do. Make it big enough for two trains (four tracks), and you can run the regular Union Pacific trains through it too. Morgan Hill could chip in for that as it will be a big benefit to the quality of life along the current Union Pacific tracks, where there have been a lot of homes built up lately. I don't understand why Gov. Jerry Brown hasn't proposed that solution. It would make his HSR less expensive. Seems like an easy, cheaper solution. Mark Ziebarth Morgan Hill

Amgen Tour will boost local tourism efforts
I
n my last column, I described an event that could be the biggest thing to hit Morgan Hill since the Swedish Crown Prince and Princess visited in 1926. The Amgen Tour of California is coming and will bring the world right into our living room. This world class event will be in our town, not 10 miles south or 28 miles north like the last two world class events, both of which pretty much passed us by. Again, this is a big deal for us. Are you one of those people that wonder how this event came to be in Morgan Hill? An event that I’ve heard could cost over $100,000 just to be provided the privilege of hosting— in addition to the direct costs associated with a world class event ( just the part we’re paying for)? An event that normally gobbles reams of paper just to fill out the qualification forms to participate? We are the beneficiaries of someone else’s misfortune. Another community pulled out of the event, and Amgen Tour organizers gave the folks in San Jose a call, who in turn gave our folks in Morgan Hill a call. Yes, we have a relationship with San Jose that is strong enough for that call to take place. Bet you had no idea that could have happened. So how did that happen? My theory… In April 2013 the community of Morgan Hill declared that we wanted tourism to grow as a key industry. The city council heard that proclamation, and an environment was created that fostered reaching out to our neighbors to work together in the name of tourism. A couple years back, the very people that gave us that recent call were invited to Morgan Hill to see what we see every day—a beautiful community that could actually be an asset to San Jose. An asset to San Jose? Yes, an asset in the sense that one of the lures to potential

A stage was set years ago where this event is now about to play out. There is a lot of work to do before we can show off Morgan Hill to the world, and at the same time feel comfortable our community will enjoy this event. We have to get everyone who lives in, works in, or regularly passes through the downtown informed about the event and work to minimize the impacts to them. That work will start right away. As short as the event may be, one day there will be some inconveniences that we need to minimize for the entire community. Careful planning will help with that. We need to plan collaboratively to make the most of the large number of visitors and event coverage. We may only get one chance to shine, and we’re going to make the most of it. Let the work begin.

visitors of San Jose could be our “charming” community just minutes away from the big city hubbub. When you’re done at the Tech Museum, head over to Morgan Hill for lunch and hiking, for example. A stage was set years ago where this event is now about to play out. This event will in turn hopefully set in motion a recognition of Morgan Hill as a great place to visit, build businesses and live. These are called investments in the future.

Re: ‘Elite cycling tour coming to Morgan Hill’ Comparing what the city has spent money on in the past, $55,000 isn't much and may provide some of the citizens with an entertaining event. I don't think Solvang is a good example of what the city can hope to achieve in terms of tourism, etc. because Solvang is already a tourist destination with Danish architecture and events, plus one of the California missions is there, so lots to do. Maybe they could tie in Gilroy Gardens and the outlets in their 30 second commercial, but almost every town in California has wineries, restaurants, shops and local festivals. I can't think what they could say about Morgan Hill that would make anyone go out of their way to come here for a visit. “joden” via morganhilltimes.com

District: Higher rates needed to offset costs Facilities, 1 for interpretation. Several league representatives have indicated that they may no longer use the school district fields if the rates are too steep. The same reps added if they had to continue to use the district fields at the higher hourly rates, then they would be forced to substantially raise the registration fees for their participating families. “I don’t think it’s fair what they are doing to the community, to burden families financially,” said Lisa Schmidt, a past president and board member for OV Toros, a recreational and competitive youth soccer league that is the largest user of school fields. The proposed rate increases are based on an assessment from Facilitron, a district-hired company that receives its own cut of the rental fees for providing an online platform to make field reservations. Tom Evans of Spirit Softball previously said that Facilitron has been causing friction between sports leagues and their field providers throughout the region by raising usage rates. “Everybody in that (meeting) room and in the community are going to be hugely impacted by this financially,” said Schmidt, adding that the impact on families “is going to price kids out of playing sports.”
PONY League President Anthony Dixon, who also attended the meeting with district staff and Facilitron, agreed with Schmidt’s assessment. “The meeting, I feel, was pointless,” said Dixon. “It was them trying to make us feel better about why they are doing the fee increase. It really wasn’t an open forum.” PONY baseball recently spent $16,000 of its own funds to build new infields at Britton Middle School and El Toro Elementary School. Additionally, Dixon said his league members, not district workers, are the ones who maintain the fields and keep the grounds clean by picking up trash and renting a dumpster to haul it away. Anthony Dixon, like other league reps at the meeting, was also upset that “no school board members were there to hear us out.” When asked if he was notified of the meeting, School Board President Tom Arnett said he was “still studying this issue, and I welcome thoughts and comments from members of the community” leading into the Jan. 23 vote. Evans said that his Spirit members “continue to work hard to get the fields (at San Martin/Gwinn Elementary) ready for the girls” and prepared for the upcoming spring season. “We have also been
evaluating and working on the irrigation system to improve efficiency and insure coverage,” added Evans, who is concerned about the increased costs proposed by the district and Facilitron.
District rates pricier than MH sports complex
“I think we’d have to take a long look over whether we’d continue to use the field at Sobrato,” said Jeff Dixon (no relation to Anthony Dixon), who has run the local NFL Flag Football League since 2004 that uses the grass field at Sobrato High School for Sunday games. Jeff Dixon noted the district’s plan would raise his field costs by 1,700 percent. “Going from a daily to an hourly rate, that’s a huge change,” he said. Jeff Dixon is also the head of the Morgan Hill Youth Sports Alliance, which operates the Morgan Hill Outdoor Sports Complex on Condit Road and is in the same business of renting fields to sports leagues. He said the district’s proposed rates are “tremendously higher than the complex,” which provides well-manicured grass fields, as well as two large artificial grass fields, for various sports activities. The complex charges $25 per hour to local nonprofits for grass field use and $35 per hour for the
turf field, according to Jeff Dixon. They also have reduced rates for what they call “home field partners,” which are organizations that have made an investment into the property such as OV Toros. Schmidt said OV Toros’ annual cost for field use would jump from $8,000 to $120,000 based on the district’s proposal. She said the district does very little to maintain the fields to warrant such an increase and, furthermore, most of the wear and tear comes from the school teams since they use them on a daily basis. Just like PONY paid out of pocket to improve the district baseball fields, OV Toros allocated $5,000 of its own money on grass seed and dirt to fix up the field at Sobrato and had volunteer parents do the labor without any help from district staff, according to Schmidt.
What the district proposes
At a Dec. 5 school board meeting, where the issue was tabled in order to notify the local sports leagues of their facility use plans, district staff explained that the rental increase would generate $300,000 in revenues for the district at full implementation, which would offset the costs to maintain the fields. The plan is to phase in the
increased fees over a three-year period. The district’s annual sports facilities operating costs are more than $9 million, according to Facilitron’s presentation to league reps. In October 2016, the school board approved a rental storefront agreement with Facilitron. The contract stipulated that “the facility user will be charged a service fee of 5 percent of their use fee and the District will pay 5 percent of the fee to Facilitron which will be deducted from the fees collected.” The district contracted with Facilitron, an online facility rental software platform, in January 2017 to allow sports clubs to make reservations for MHUSD fields through the online booking agent, according to the Dec. 5 agenda. District staff then asked Facilitron “to provide a comparison of the district’s costs for facility maintenance and capital replacement compared to actual facility use fees generated.” According to Facilitron’s presentation, the district “has been subsidizing community groups over $300,000 (per) year in facility use.” The rate hike would help “provide for the maintenance, restoration and replacement of facilities,” according to Facilitron.

School district and local law enforcement officials are calling for public assistance in identifying a suspect who allegedly spray painted over a security camera and tagged the back of a food service delivery truck at Live Oak High School over the weekend of Jan. 6-7. “Vandalism on school campuses cost the district tens of thousands of dollars each year to clean up and repair, which takes away much needed funds from our students and programs,” according to Morgan Hill
Unified School District’s Jan. 10 announcement. “Although, many times these incidents are dismissed as ‘teenagers being teenagers,’ the financial impact on a school district is significant.” Britton Middle School and San Martin Gwinn Elementary campuses were tagged with graffiti over the winter break, while someone set a bag of trash afire in front of building at Los Paseos Elementary, according to district staff. The district’s insurance company is offering an undisclosed cash reward for any information about the recent act of vandalism at Live Oak HS. The cash reward for information on any of the acts of vandalism is $1,000, according to district staff. “Over the last few months, the district has seen an uptick

City: No reason for homeowners to worry BMR, 1 80 percent of the AMI at the time, according to city staff. About half the homes in Sunrise Meadows—but not the Pocuses’— were built under a “sweat equity” agreement, in which the lotterywinning new homeowners agree to do some of the construction work on the home themselves. In exchange, they received financial down-payment assistance from the city’s BMR program, which was heavily financed by the Redevelopment Agency at the time. “Everybody moved in six to nine months of each other,” Tom Pocus said. Since the Pocus family moved in, Sunrise Meadows has become what the couple and their neighbors say is the perfect example of what the city’s BMR program was designed to create: a tightknit community of hard-working families who have supported each other on their quest toward home ownership. The Pocuses’ five children, who are now adults, grew up in the Sunrise Meadows home and graduated from Live Oak High School. “Our church is here, our friends are here, our family is here,” said Tom, a former gymnast and gym owner who now works as a field equipment engineer. “We’re involved in sports programs,” he added. The couple has now lived in Morgan Hill more than 30 years. Thus, the Sunrise Meadows community banded together to seek clarification from city staff when they received a letter in late 2017 from Housekeys, the company that manages the local BMR program on behalf of City Hall. The letter consisted of a number of probing questions about the household finances, some of which the homeowners thought were too “personal” and not relevant to their existing BMR ownership contract. At the Nov. 15 Morgan Hill City

Tom Pocus and other residents said in the last 20-plus years they have lived in their BMR homes, they have never received such a correspondence from the city or its affordable housing administrator. City Manager Christina Turner and city housing staff, however, said the Sunrise Meadows residents have nothing to fear. BMR owners are not required to re-qualify under the income requirements for their home, and there is no effort underway to force them to comply with the current affordable home ownership rules such as the updated 45-year contract requirement, Turner said. Municipal affordable housing programs typically include periodic monitoring of BMR homes to ensure the owners are honoring their deed restrictions, and the letter from Housekeys is an effort to do that, Turner said. This certification is ideally

Owners of Below Market Rate homes in Morgan Hill are invited to the following informational meetings where they can ask city staff and Housekeys, its affordable housing administrator, questions about their BMR agreements. All meetings will take place at Housekeys office, 358 Digital Drive, Morgan Hill: • 12pm Jan. 28 • 12pm Feb. 3 • 12pm Feb. 17 • 12pm March 3 • 12pm March 24 For more information about the city’s affordable housing or BMR program, visit housekeys.org.
occasions in the past, “all in the spirit of preserving the affordability of the unit,” Turner said.
‘Byzantine’ contracts difficult to understand
Sunrise Meadows resident Alberto Juarez is currently in litigation with Housekeys, which filed a lawsuit claiming he was in violation of the BMR deed. Juarez’ mother, the original owner of the home, labored on the home construction herself under a sweat equity agreement. However, his mother died recently. Housekeys subsequently claimed that the family was in violation of the BMR agreement because the owner is no longer occupying the home, and she had placed the home in a family trust, according to Juarez’ attorney Eugene Flemate. Juarez and Flemate argue they are not in violation, and the home’s deed states Juarez’ mother could pass the home to her heirs when she died. After months of out-of-court negotiating and mediation, Flemate thinks Juarez—who wants to retain ownership of the family home—will reach a favorable outcome. However, Flemate said the vague, confusing wording of the “byzantine” BMR contracts makes
www.GilroyHyundai.com
them difficult to interpret for both Housekeys and the homeowner. “A contract is supposed to think of all the possibilities, like ‘What if you die?’” Flemate said. “It looks like nobody thought of that.” Morgan Hill Housing Manager Rebecca Garcia said a total of three BMR homes in the city limits are in litigation, where the owners are accused of violating their affordable housing deeds. City staff expects to bring an agenda item on Morgan Hill’s BMR program to the Feb. 7 city council meeting. This item will discuss the new state Housing Accountability Act and how it will affect the local program, as well as updates on affordable rental projects, “a forecast of upcoming BMR units for sale in the pipeline, BMR ownership certification process update” and other points, Garcia said. In the meantime, Tom Pocus said he will continue to work with and advocate for his neighbors who worry about losing their homes under an arbitrary enforcement of the rules. “The neighbors need a voice to stand up to these people,” Pocus said. “We’re making sure justice is served. I don’t trust the city council, or Housekeys at all. Many people are afraid to say anything because they’re afraid to be singled out.”

completed annually, but that has not been the case in Morgan Hill. “It came as a surprise to many homeowners,” Turner said. “The overarching purpose of the letter is to confirm that the owners are occupying the homes consistent with the original BMR agreements with the city.” The Housekeys letter last year went out to all 509 BMR homeowners in Morgan Hill. BMR property deeds are highly restrictive to the homeowner compared with market-rate home ownership. Aside from the usual required monthly mortgage payments, for example, BMR homes must be occupied by the original owner throughout the term of the contract; owners cannot rent out rooms at market rates; any effort to refinance can be sought only through the program’s preferred loan officers; and if they choose to sell the home before the end of the contract, the city gets first dibs. Any sale of a home in the BMR program before the end of the contract must be restricted to the affordable price. Julius Nyanda of Houskeys added that some of the questions on the letter were optional “survey” inquiries, while others were required for household BMR certification. He agreed the questionnaire could have more clearly stated the difference between these categories. City staff “works closely” with Housekeys in overseeing the city’s affordable housing program, Turner added. Housekeys has run this program since 2015, and is currently under a $500,000 contract with the city for that work. Housekeys also manages affordable housing programs for the cities of Gilroy, Campbell, San Francisco and Burlingame. If Housekeys or the city finds that a BMR homeowner is not in compliance with the deed restrictions, they can take legal action to regain possession of the home. The city has done this on limited
Council meeting, some of these residents said they are refusing to sign and return the questionnaires to Housekeys. They fear it is a backhanded effort to rewrite their current contracts under the current terms of the ever-changing BMR program (new agreements with BMR homeowners are now for 45 years, not 30, for example), thus indefinitely extending the date at which they can finally call their homes their own. “We understood after 30 years we would be free to sell the home on the open market,” Michele Harvey, also a BMR homeowner in Sunrise Meadows, told the city council Nov. 15. “That meant it was an investment for us. More so than that, it was a place to build community. That is what we have in this neighborhood…We have seen children born (and) graduate, people pass away, and we have all been there for each other.”

in California. Early after its construction, a four-room residence was attached to the original depot structure for use by the assigned station agent. The depot served as a flag station for the Coyote community until its closing in 1959. It has been used as a private residence until recently.

Showtimes are scheduled for 8pm Fridays and Saturdays, as well as 2:30pm Sundays at the Morgan Hill Community Playhouse, 17090 Monterey Road. Set in New York City in 1922, “Thoroughly Modern Millie” tells the story of young Millie Dillmount from Kansas, who comes to New York in search of a new life. Her grand plan is to find a job as a secretary for a wealthy man, and then marry him. However, her plan goes completely awry. The owner of her dingy hotel kidnaps young girls, her wealthy boss is slow in proposing marriage and the man she falls in love with doesn't have a dime to his name... or so he tells her.

The Flying Lady restaurant Learn about Morgan Hill
landmark, the Flying Lady restaurant, at a 10 to 11:30am April 7 presentation at Hiram Morgan Hill House, 17860 Monterey Road. Built on a grand scale by Irv Perch and named for his wife, Jan, the Flying Lady Restaurant was open from 1971 to 1994. In fact, there were two Flying Lady restaurants: the first was a small restaurant with seating for about 200 people, which opened in 1971. Not satisfied with the small quarters, Perch built the Flying Lady II, which in 1981 was one of the largest restaurants in the world with seating for nearly 2,000. The Flying Lady was also one of the most unusual restaurants in the world, with seven fullsized antique aircraft hanging from the ceiling and more than 100 scale model aircraft “flying” over the heads of the diners on a moving track. But why would anyone build a huge restaurant out in the rural foothills of Santa Clara County? What made the Flying Lady a success and what happened to it? Presenter Julie Perch Belanger, daughter of Irv and Jan Parch, will share treasured family photographs and movies. You will learn the fascinating story of the Flying Lady, how Julie met her husband there and how they were married at the restaurant.
Event to offer guidance for future teachers In an effort to increase qualified teaching candidates, the Santa Clara County Office of Education will host a “Step into Teaching: Opportunities in Silicon Valley Public Schools” event 9am to 1pm Feb.10 at 1290 Ridder Park Drive in San Jose. During the Saturday event, attendees will learn what is needed to become a teacher, how to navigate the credentialing process and receive information about compensation, benefits and retirement. “Step into Teaching” will also
provide networking opportunities with potential employers and the chance to interact with classroom educators and experts from Santa Clara University, San José State University, National University, UC Santa Cruz and the Santa Clara County Office of Education’s EPIC program. “Teaching is a wonderful profession with challenges—but also great rewards,” Interim County Superintendent of Schools Mary Ann Dewan said. “Teachers have
the opportunity to have a profound positive impact in a young person’s life and influence future generations.” According to the California Department of Education, enrollment in California’s teacher preparation programs fell from more than 700,000 during the 2008–09 school year to less than 500,000 in 2012– 13. In 2014–15, the Commission on Teacher Credentialing issued 15,000 credentials, while the California Department of
Education projected the need for California schools to hire 22,000 teachers. “Step into Teaching” is designed for individuals with or who are completing their bachelor’s degree, business professionals with an interest in teaching and classified school employees looking to transition into certificated positions. Registration is open through Feb. 7. For more information, contact Michelle Fine at michelle_fine@sccoe.org.

Acorns Are Tough SHOTMAKER Acorns sophomore Nathan Ridola launches a shot in earlier action this season. The point guard has done a solid job of running the team and getting it set up offensively. Live Oak entered Wednesday’s league game with a 3-1 mark in the BVAL’s West Valley Division.
LIVE OAK IS STRONGER AFTER A SLATE OF LOSSES emanuel lee Sports Editor
Yeung is particularly optimistic because his roster consists of two freshmen, four sophomores, five juniors and just three seniors, meaning the Acorns are expected to return the majority of their roster for next season and beyond. “The program looks bright with all the young talent we’ve got,” Yeung said. As for this season, Live Oak has visions of winning the division title. Everything starts with Jaime Martinez, a senior forward who can do it all: guard all five positions while always playing with high energy and an intensity to match. “He’s not the biggest kid (5-foot-10), but he plays big because he’s so freakishly athletic,” Yeung

Live Oak High boys basketball coach Jeff Yeung purposely made a tough non-league schedule to prepare his team to win the Blossom Valley League West Valley Division championship. The thirdyear Acorns coach knew the team was going to take its bruises, yet hopeful the players would grow stronger from the experience.
That’s exactly what has happened as Live Oak enters Wednesday’s game against James Lick with a 3-1 division mark, good for second place, a half game back of Overfelt. In the midst of some blowout losses—among its 10 nonleague defeats, Live Oak lost four of those by 36, 37, 42 and 45 points—the Acorns remained resolute. “Playing a tough preseason could’ve gone one of two ways,” Yeung said. “It could’ve totally destroyed our confidence or made us better. The kids have come around and feel more poised and disciplined. We feel there is still a lot of more room to grow, and that this experience will help us out in the long run.”

blueprint in what we’re trying to emulate.” That means Sobrato plans on suffocating teams with full-court pressure defense, a great strategy since the majority of girls teams at the high school level have trouble breaking an effective press. “Right now we’re trying to generate a lot of our offense off the press, so we’ve had to move players around to find the right combination where we produce points off our defense,” Wallace said. “The challenge mentally

is getting the girls there, and I feel like our defense is improving dramatically. The focus is on defense and being able to rotate to the right spots so our press is tough to break.” In the off-season, the BVAL decided to change basketball division format, resulting in fewer league games. That meant Wallace could beef up the non-league portion of the team’s schedule, and that’s exactly what she did. “I wanted to get creative and make sure the ➝ Sobrato, page 20

In just the second game of the season, the Sobrato High girls basketball team faced one of the best teams in the nation in St. Mary’s of Stockton. The result was rather predictable, as the Bulldogs fell, 80-22. It was an experience unlike any other, as a stacked St. Mary’s squad filled with Division I prospects lit up the scoreboard with remarkable ease. Still, the game proved to be beneficial for Sobrato, which enters
Thursday’s Blossom Valley League Mount Hamilton Division game against Willow Glen at 9-6 overall and 1-0 in division play. “When I signed up for the St. Mary’s game, I knew it was going to be a learning experience,” Bulldogs coach Erica Wallace said. “Our girls were blown away in seeing the St. Mary’s players and how they moved like NBA players. To have that experience put us in an interesting position. I feel the level of play we’ve been exposed to hopefully gives us a

connect from the outside, often in situations when the team needs to score. Last season, Nodohara hit a couple of game-winning 3-point shots. “She’s one of our defensive specialists and a shooter,” Wallace said. “She can read the opponent and knows when to go for the steal and start a trap.” Jessica Byrum, a junior post, totaled 20 points and four blocks in a 63-44 win over Leland on Jan. 11. Byrum probably has the least amount of years of organized basketball experience on the team, and yet she continues to impress with solid play. “She just started liking basketball, which is another amazing thing about her game,” Wallace said. “She can hit the 3-point shot and is starting to believe she is as good as she is.” Freshman Trezure Tu’ua has been precocious with her play, with the ability to produce a double-double every time she steps on the court. “She works hard, has the power of a horse and has rose up to the occasion,” Wallace said.

girls got a chance to see what the best of the best looked like in St. Mary’s,” she said. “Playing tough teams will be useful when it comes down to league and playing against teams in our area.” Kianna Maldia, a junior point guard and one of the BVAL’s division Most Valuable Players a season ago, has done a terrific job of setting the tempo and making sound decisions. “Coming into this year she had big shoes to fill, which were her own ironically,” Wallace said. “She’s a natural passing point guard and can find the smallest of windows to get the ball to her teammates. She can average 10 assists a game upward if everything goes well. She always wants to incorporate her teammates into the flow of play and is hypersensitive to the fact that she doesn’t want to be a ball hog. She’s a D1 player if she keeps on progressing.” Ally Nodohara, a senior forward, routinely shuts down whomever she is guarding with stifling defensive play. Nodohara also has the ability to
STRONGER Sobrato High freshman Trezure Tu’ua has been instrumental in the team getting off to a 9-6 start. Tu’ua, Byrum and Maldia are the team’s leading scorers, while senior captain Samantha Brenny
leads the team vocally while hitting shots at the most opportune times. “She gets us out of our
(scoring) slumps,” Wallace said. “When we can’t make a shot, she’s one of those kids that find a way to hit
a shot and pick up the team in a positive manner. She is irreplaceable on the court.”

the effort and energy every single night.” Nathan Ridola, a 5-foot-6 sophomore point guard, leads the team in scoring and has done a solid job of getting the team set up offensively. “Nathan is really coming into his own,” Yeung said.
“Everything the coaches have told him, he’s taken it in stride and made improvements everyday. We’re excited for his future.” Nick Sykes, a 5-10 junior off guard, is strong on both ends of the floor. Defensively, Yeung often puts Sykes on the opposing team’s best offensive player.
“He’s got a good shot, is a good decision maker and gets to (the free throw) line at times,” Yeung said. J.T. Carvalho, a 6-1 freshman forward, is one of the reasons why Yeung is ecstatic about the potential of the team in the years ahead. Carvalho possesses a strong jump shot, and

he’s improving in every other phase of the game. “He’s one of the kids we want to build our future around,” Yeung said. Drew Giba, a 5-11 senior forward, has been downright impressive at times. Giba scored the team’s first seven points in a 63-60 loss to Andrew
Hill on Jan. 10. “The kid is just phenomenal,” Yeung said. “He’s run with whatever role we’ve given him and has a great attitude.” Justin Jud, a 6-2 junior center, has made effort his calling card, providing the team with plenty of energy. Yeung has been
pleased that the players have given tremendous effort, especially in the last couple of weeks. “All of our kids are great kids, and they’ve done everything we’ve asked of them to the best of their ability,” Yeung said. “That’s all you can ask for as a coach.”

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 Proceeding Against You, You Should Contact A Lawyer. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, cashier’s check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a cashier’s check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: South Bay Vision, Inc., a California Corporation Duly Appointed Trustee: Total Lender Solutions, Inc.

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 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 (877) 440-4460 or visit this Internet Web site www.mkconsultantsinc.com, using the file number assigned
PUBLIC NOTICE
To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals This is to give notice that the City of Morgan Hill has determined that the following proposed activity is located in the 100-year floodplain. The City of Morgan Hill will be identifying and evaluating practicable alternatives to locating the proposed activity in the floodplain, as well as the potential impacts on the floodplain from the proposed activity. This is required by Executive Order 11988, in accordance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management. The proposed activity qualifies as a federal undertaking in that federal funds have been awarded to the project from the Project-Based Section 8 Voucher program, a program of HUD, by the County of Santa Clara. A federal environmental review is required and is being prepared pursuant to 24 CFR Part 58, HUD environmental regulations. The proposed activity, known as the Crossings on Monterey Project, is described as follows. Urban Housing Communities, LLC (UHC) proposes to demolish four small existing structures (former residences and garage) and construct a 39-unit affordable housing development for families on two parcels in the City of Morgan Hill. The parcels, which are adjoining and currently unaddressed, are located at the northeast corner of Monterey Road and Bisceglia Avenue, Morgan Hill in Santa Clara County, California (APN’s 817-36-032 and -033). Together the parcels are 1.623 acres in size. The proposed new construction consists of a three-story building that includes an 1,800 square foot community room for residences and three small offices to provide onsite support services. The project will provide a landscaped area and 77 parking spaces. The footprint of the proposed project will be approximately 17,329 square feet (24.49 percent lot coverage). The lot coverage of the building and parking area combined is 67 percent. The project area is entirely located within the West Little Llamas Creek AE (Base Flood Elevations determined) 100-year flood zone, as indicated on preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) mapping. The property is also shown in the 100year flood zone on FIRM Panel 06085C0607H. According to preliminary FIRM mapping, the base flood elevation (BFE) is 341 feet. The first habitable floor of the building will be built to an elevation of 342 feet, which is above the applicant’s 1-foot design flood elevation. The first floor will be designed to not increase the floodplain by more than 0.1 feet. The onsite storm water will be treated through infiltration. There will be an onsite detention pond to store the difference between a 25-year post development storm and a 10-year pre-development storm. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains/wetlands and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain/wetland, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains/ wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains/wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by the City of Morgan Hill at the following address on or before February 5, 2018, or fifteen (15) days from the actual date of publication at the City of Morgan Hill Planning Division, 17575 Peak Avenue, Morgan Hill, CA 95037, Attention: Sheldon S. Ah Sing, Consultant Planner. Comments may also be submitted via email at sahsing@m-group. us. Direct questions via phone at (408) 340-5642 X109. A full description of the project may also be reviewed Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the address above. Mail date: January 16, 2018 Published: January 19, 2018
