$6,940,000 Port of Redwood City Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series NEW ISSUE—FULL BOOK ENTRY RATINGS: S&P: “AA-” (NPFG Insured) S&P: “BBB” (Underlying) (See “RATINGS” herein) In the opinion of Jones Hall, A Professional Law Corporation, Bond Counsel, subject, however, to certain qualifications described herein, under existing law, the interest on the 2015 Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, except during any period while a 2015 Bond is held by a “substantial user” of the facilities financed by the 2015 Bonds or by a “related person” within the meaning of section 147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It should be noted, however, that such interest is an item of tax preference for purposes of computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the 2015 Bonds is, under existing law, exempt from personal income taxation imposed by the State of California. See “TAX MATTERS” herein. $6,940,000 Port of Redwood City (San Mateo County, California) Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2015 Dated: Date of Delivery Due: June 1, as shown on the inside front cover The $6,940,000 Port of Redwood City Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2015 (the “2015 Bonds”), will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”).

  • The San Mateo County Harbor District
    What is the Price of Dysfunction? The San Mateo County Harbor District Summary | Background | Methodology | Discussion | Findings | Recommendations | Requests for Responses | Attachments | Responses SUMMARY There is no way to sugar coat the issue. The commission governing the San Mateo County (County) Harbor District (Harbor District or District) is in disarray. It operates the District at significant yearly losses. Its commission meetings sometimes require police presence. YouTube videos mock the commissioners. Tenants’ rent checks are lost. Public comments about the commissioners are scathing. Financial reporting is anything but transparent. There are accusations of records destruction and excess benefits paid to commissioners. Lawsuits charging harassment fly between a commissioner and the District’s general manager. Video recording of commission meetings is abruptly suspended, and then reinstated. One commissioner loudly complains about the seating arrangement at meetings. Press reports frequently document the dysfunction. Social media is rife with criticism. A reporter for a daily newspaper claims that commissioners don’t “want to fix the problems, they just want to be right.” Meanwhile the property taxpayers of San Mateo County fund the District to the tune of $5,000,000 annually.1 The 2013-2014 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury (Grand Jury) received numerous complaints from the public about the District, including how the District awards leases, the alleged overcharging of lessees, the election process of commissioners, and a lack of transparency in the District’s financial reporting. The District’s office is overwhelmed by public records requests. The public’s disenchantment with the District has been reported on and documented as far back as 1963.

  • 4.9 Land Use and Planning
    Redwood City New General Plan 4.9 Land Use and Planning 4.9 LAND USE AND PLANNING This section describes existing land uses in and around the plan area, as well as applicable land use policies and regulations. Information in this section was derived from a technical land use background report, Redwood City General Plan Land Use Report, prepared in June 2008 by Hogle-Ireland, Inc., as well as CirclePoint’s reconnaissance of the plan area. 4.9.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The plan area covered by the New General Plan consists of the corporate City limits as well as lands within the City’s sphere of influence. The plan area comprises approximately 38 square miles within a diverse physical setting, with flat lands near the Bayfront area; hills in the western portion of the City; and the San Francisco Bay, stream corridors, and tidal marshes in the north and east. Current Land Use Patterns The current land use patterns reflect the diverse physical features within the plan area, with most office, commercial and residential uses south and west of U.S. 101 while most open space and industrial uses are north of U.S. 101 or in the southwestern foothill areas. The City consists of residential neighborhoods with varying densities and characters; a conventional downtown with retail, restaurant, office, and civic uses; active industrial areas, including research and development and heavy industrial uses associated with the Port of Redwood City; open space areas; and civic areas, including County offices, parks, schools, and community centers. These uses have been clustered within five distinct areas of the City reflecting their specific geographies and function, described below.

    EXHIBIT A HARBOR RULES AND REGULATIONS Thank you for choosing Westpoint Harbor as your “homeport” in the San Francisco Bay. Westpoint Harbor is a private marina complex established to provide a safe and comfortable haven for those who enjoy boating and water-oriented activities, or would like to. The following rules are for the safety and comfort of everyone, and are mostly restatements of government ordinances. The Harbor reserves the right to update lease rates as well as revoke permission to enter the facility at any time. This applies to members, guests and visitors. Owner agrees to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and instructions of the U.S. Coast Guard and other Federal, State and Local authorities. “Owner” includes any person associated with the owner of a Vessel including family members, invitees, agents, employees and licensees on Harbor premises. We are concerned about the local marine environment and remind you that there are numerous Federal, State and Local regulations regarding discharge of any material into the Bay, including treated and non-treated sewage. All vessels are required to have a holding tank which is pumped out regularly. Any vessel found to have caused an improper discharge into the Bay will be asked to leave the Harbor. ON THE DOCKS 1. No running on the docks! Bicycles or scooters are not allowed on the docks, and no item may be placed or stored on the docks or walkways that could obstruct passage. 2. Mooring lines, water hoses and other dock connections shall be dressed to prevent obstruction or otherwise create a hazard.
