  • Annual 2016 Report
    2016 ANNUAL REPORT INTEGRITY OWNERSHIP RESPECT EXCELLENCE TEAMWORK Dear Shareholders & Friends The year 2016 was an exciting period of growth and change for Bank of Commerce Holdings (BOCH). During the first quarter, we completed the acquisition of five offices from Bank of America which brought almost $150 million of new low cost deposits to our company. Throughout the entire year our real estate, commercial, consumer and SBA sales teams continued to successfully add significant loan and deposit totals to our balance sheet. For the year, loans increased $88 million (12%) and deposits increased $201 million (25%). As many of you already know, the liquidity provided by our branch acquisition was used to reconfigure our balance sheet. We were able to eliminate our approximately $100 million reliance on brokered and wholesale funding sources and we cancelled the associated interest rate hedge contract which would have been increasingly costly into the future. For the first time in many years we funded all of our loan growth with traditional core deposits. The strategic shift from wholesale funding to traditional core funding was costly, which is reflected in our earnings for the year of $5.3 million ($0.39 per share), a 37% decline from the prior year. We firmly believe that it was the correct decision and is a key component for executing on our future corporate initiatives. The company has made many advances over the past 36 months. With a return to relying on traditional funding sources combined with severing the tie to our former mortgage subsidiary (2014), the redemption of $20 million SBLF preferred stock (2015), the growth of our SBA division, the hiring of an expanded sales force in Sacramento and reductions in nonperforming assets, we are now prepared to be a stronger competitive force in northern California.

VISION: TO BE THE MOSTSUCCESSFUL FINANCIAL SERVICES FINANCIAL PROVIDER IN THE MARKETS PROVIDE outstanding customer service in the delivery of competitive, innovative financial services and products. Continue to ACHIEVE consistent superior-to-peer investment returns for our shareholders. DEVELOP strong, mutually beneficial relationships with our customers. MISSION Be a positive corporate citizen – CONTRIBUTE human and financial resources to a variety of worthwhile community activities. CREATE an environment that provides opportunities for personal and professional growth. What a challenging and rewarding year 2004 was! Both North Valley Bancorp and the industry went through some dramatic changes during the year. For North Valley it was our acquisition of Yolo Community Bank, and for the industry it was Sarbanes-Oxley (“SOX”). This new legislation has fundamentally changed the way business transactions are executed and has changed the face of the auditing profession. SOX Section 404 had a direct impact on the Company as it cost North Valley over $200,000 to implement this section of SOX, in addition to all of the other corporate governance changes required by this legislation. On the more positive side, our August 31 acquisition of Yolo Community Bank was a big accomplishment in that we gained entry into higher growth markets around the Sacramento area. We were also able to integrate their back office and all their systems into North Valley Bancorp’s by the end of November in order to begin to gain efficiencies and grow on a single platform. Total shareholder return for 2004 was 29.9% as a result of stock price appreciation and cash dividends.

  • Motorized Travel Management Draft Environmental Impact Statement – September 2008 Chapter 3: Affected Environment & Environmental Consequences – 3.08
    Motorized Travel Management Draft Environmental Impact Statement – September 2008 Chapter 3: Affected Environment & Environmental Consequences – 3.08. Transportation 3.08. Transportation _____________________________________ Affected Environment Introduction This section of the environmental analysis examines the extent to which alternatives respond to transportation facilities direction established in the Tahoe National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. The Forest Plan transportation facilities direction was established under the implementing regulations of the National Forest Management Act (NFMA) and the National Forest Roads and Trails Act (FRTA). The National Forest Transportation System (NFTS) consists of roads, trails, airfields, and areas. The NFTS provides for protection, development, management, and utilization of resources on the National Forests. There are other roads and trails existing on the Forest that are not currently part of the NFTS. Transportation facilities considered in this analysis include roads and trails that are suitable for motor vehicle use. This analysis considers changes needed to the NFTS to meet the purpose and need of this analysis. Decisions regarding changes to the transportation facilities must consider: 1) providing for adequate public safety, and 2) providing adequate maintenance of the roads and trails that will be designated for public use. The analysis in this section primarily focuses on these two aspects of the NFTS. Background A majority of national forest visitors travel on national forest system roads. Roads have opened the Tahoe National Forest to millions of national and international visitors. Forest roads are also an integral part of the transportation system for rural counties. They provide access for research, fish and wildlife habitat management, grazing, timber harvesting, fire protection, mining, insect and disease control, and private land use.

  • Emergency Services / 2015 Update to the Placer
    PLACER COUNTY OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES MEMORANDUM To: Honorable Board of Supervisors From: David Boesch, County Executive Officer by: John McEldowney, Program Manager of Emergency Services Date: November 17, 2015 Subject: 2015 Update to the Placer Operational Area Eastside Emergency Evacuation Plan ACTION REQUESTED Adopt a Resolution Enacting the 2015 Update to the Placer Operational Area Eastside Emergency Evacuation Plan. BACKGROUND This is a plan for the conduct of a physical evacuation of one or more communities in the unincorporated area on the eastern side of Placer County. This plan is necessitated by a larger incident, most probably a forest fire or flood. For the purposes of this plan, the "eastern side" comprises all of Placer County from just west of Cisco Grove to the Nevada State line not including the areas within the Tahoe National Forest and the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit. The dense forests, rugged terrain, and the scarcity of roads in the area are problems that present difficulties for first responders and residents alike. These problems would complicate any emergency evacuation operation. Whereas the potential exists for severe winter storms, mass casualty incidents or floods on the eastern side, forest fire remains the greatest single threat to communities. For all but the wettest of months, homes and businesses in wildland-urban interface areas are particularly susceptible to fire damage and destruction. During fire season, the combination of dense forests, heavy fuel loads, low humidity, potential for high winds and the steep terrain in the Sierra Nevada's can rapidly turn even small fires into lethal, major disasters.

    Advertisement YOU ARE HERE: LAT Home → Collections → News Advertisement John D. Olmsted dies at 73; naturalist preserved open space in Northern California John Olmsted was inspired by John Muir to acquire open space in Northern California in the hope of creating a public-land corridor from Lake Tahoe to the Pacific. March 19, 2011 | By Robert D. Davila, Sacramento Bee Email Share 0 Tweet 0 Recommend 0 John D. Olmsted, a naturalist who led efforts to preserve Northern California nature areas, open space and trails, died of liver cancer March 8 at his home in Nevada City, Calif. He was 73. Inspired by conservationist John Muir, Olmsted spent more than 40 years pursuing his dream of a trans- California hiking trail — roughly paralleling Highway 20 — from Lake Tahoe to the Pacific Ocean. He proposed creating a public-land corridor that would connect a chain of natural landscapes stretching FROM THE ARCHIVES across Northern California. Tension over wetlands He set about acquiring parcels by making a down payment to hold the land and scrambling for donations July 29, 2007 to pay the rest. Many sites later were bought by the state for parkland. "He wanted to restore California to the wild," said son Alden, a filmmaker who recently completed a documentary about his father.

  • Local Agencies and Organizations Partner on Rehabilitation of Independence Trail on the South Yuba River
    Local Agencies and Organizations Partner on Rehabilitation of Independence Trail on the South Yuba River Nevada City, CA - Staff from Nevada County and the Sheriff’s Office, Bear Yuba Land Trust, South Yuba River Citizens League and the Sierra Gold Parks Foundation accompanied California State Parks and CAL FIRE on Wednesday, Aug. 26 to view the Jones Fire damage to the Independence Trail, the first wheelchair accessible wilderness trail in the United States. The portion of the trail west of Highway 49, owned by State Parks and Bear Yuba Land Trust, was severely impacted by the Jones Fire, resulting in the loss of several wooden flumes, the overlook platform, benches, handrails and the Rush Creek Ramp. Independence Trail Closed for Repairs Due to the assessed trail damage and the loss of many wooden flumes and bridges on the west trail plus the instability of the flumes on the east trail, the entirety of the Independence Trail on both sides of Highway 49, as well as neighboring state park lands, will be closed to public access until further notice. “We’ll rebuild as we did the Bridgeport Covered Bridge and the Malakoff Solar Project, but it will take a collective effort,” said State Parks Sierra District Chief Ranger Matt Green. “However, right now the area remains unstable with natural and physical hazards, so we are asking the community to support recovery efforts by respecting the closure order. The property will need time to heal.” The Jones Fire is currently at 85% containment with damage assessments ongoing. However, erosion and heavy equipment repairs of the trail have commenced by State Parks and CAL FIRE.

  • Request for Proposal Rush Creek Ramp Independence
    REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL RUSH CREEK RAMP INDEPENDENCE TRAIL NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA Due: March 15, 2017 Bear Yuba Land Trust ​ PO Box 1004 Grass Valley, CA 95945 Introduction Bear Yuba Land Trust (BYLT) is a private, non-profit, membership supported group promoting voluntary conservation of our natural, historical and agricultural resources in the Bear and Yuba watersheds of the Sierra Nevada foothills. The Independence Trail is a popular hiking destination for local residents and tourists. The Trail is considered an important community asset and is renowned as one of the first wheelchair accessible trails in the nation. It memorializes the historic Excelsior Canal and local Gold Rush history and also follows one of the most scenic stretches of the South Yuba River. The Trail is marketed as a destination tourist site by the local Chambers of Commerce and other economic development agencies. The trailhead is located approximately six miles north of Nevada City on Highway 49. The Independence Trail weaves through property owned and managed by BYLT and California State Parks. From the trailhead and parking area at California State Highway 49, the trail departs east and west. This Request For Proposal (RFP) is for a project located on the western section of trail, approximately one mile from the trailhead. The project involves a wooden wheelchair-accessible ramp built by the late Naturalist John D. Olmsted and community volunteers. The ramp is attached to a large historic flume traversing Rush Creek. Located on BYLT property, the ramp was closed in 2016 due to public safety concerns regarding the structure’s stability.
