Whether you are one of our generous business or parent spon- sors or donors, worked behind the scenes, or came to enjoy the camaraderie and to purchase that “can’t live without” item, our students, faculty, and staff are grateful to you for your generous support. Proceeds from the Auction enable us to recruit and retain the finest faculty in the region, to provide incomparable curricular and extracurricular offerings, and to strengthen our financial aid budget. I salute this year’s Auction Chairs, Leah Frink and Julie Sloat, for their enthusiastic, expert engineering of this spectacular event. Their cheerful energy and positive spirit made the myriad organizational details leading to tonight’s event appear stress-free—although we know there had to be moments of angst! In addition, I know that the Auction Chairs and all of us here tonight applaud the talented Kari Miner for transporting us for a few hours to a warm tropical island for an evening in old Havana. Tonight, just prior to the Live Auction bidding, we pause for a moment to recognize our commit- ment to the Breakthrough Sacramento program, supported by the Country Day community since the program began on the SCDS campus in 1993. This year’s “Fund-a-Need for Breakthrough” was first introduced at the 2009 Auction as the “Last Cavalier Standing” and is a significant boost to Breakthrough Sacramento’s budget. Thank you for raising your bid card to pledge your support for Breakthrough to provide an education for these deserving children who attend under-resourced public schools. I raise my mojito to all of you who have unselfishly contributed your time, talent, and resources to make this event possible. The leadership of our Chairs—along with the generosity of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, enthusiastic bidders, and attendees—ensures an evening of fun and fundraising. Enjoy your trip to Havana!

  • A's News Clips, Friday, April 6, 2012 A's Second
    A’s News Clips, Friday, April 6, 2012 A's second baseman Jemile Weeks: Is he on the verge of stardom? By Carl Steward, Oakland Tribune As the A's prepare to resume the regular season Friday night in their home opener against Seattle, second year second baseman Jemile Weeks appears to be priming himself for stardom. During spring training, A's fans focused most of their attention on the team's newest sensation, Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes. Meanwhile, last year's sensation quietly continued to hone his skills for a season that just might draw attention inside and outside of Oakland. Weeks, who hit .303 and stole 22 bases in 97 games following his June debut, this spring hit .339, flashed a little power and looked far better defensively than he did last year, when he led AL second basemen in errors with 13. "I see him improving because Jemile's just a guy who looks to improve every day," said manager Bob Melvin. "I think I'm even more impressed with his defense right now than his offense. When I got here last year, in my opinion he was a well below average defender at second base. But boy, he has come a long way. He looks like he wants to be an All-Star and a Gold Glover at some point." At 25, Weeks doesn't know what his ceiling might be. And he definitely doesn't see the basement for this frightfully inexperienced A's team. "I don't think you can set expectations on this team," he said.

    RIVER CITY REGIONAL STADIUM FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: June 8, 2020 ITEM # 4 SUBJECT: COVID-19 UPDATE ON BALLPARK OPERATIONS, REVENUES AND DEBT OBLIGATIONS INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY: [ ] Council [X] Staff Roberta Raper, Treasurer Jeff Savage, President [ ] Other ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action OBJECTIVE The purpose of this report is to provide an update of the impacts of COVID-19 and related public health orders on the baseball season, ballpark revenues, and upcoming debt obligations. RECOMMENDED ACTION As this is an update, there is no recommended action. This report is intended to provide an update, allow for a conversation and to respond to specific questions and solicit feedback from the Board related to impacts from COVID-19. BACKGROUND In 1999, the River City Regional Stadium Authority was formed as a joint powers agency for the purpose of assisting with the financing of the Raley Field ball park (recently changed to Sutter Health Park), and that year issued $39.99 million in taxable lease revenue bonds to construct the facility. The bonds were secured by an installment sale agreement with River City Land Holding Company (RCLH) which requires that RCLH makes lease payments to the Authority sufficient to cover debt service on the bonds. A substantial portion of stadium revenues flow to a “lock box” from which they are distributed on a 50/50 basis to the River City Stadium Management (RCSM) for operating expenses and to the bond trustee (BNY Mellon) for payment of debt service. Funds sent to the trustee are used first for bond service then to fund various reserves.
