Meet the two new faces at Bank of America for your mortgage needs, Bruce Capobianco,
Mortgage Loan Officer and Keith Sennett, Mortgage Loan Specialist. If it’s Thursday, Brisbane’s Bank of America’s Mortgage experts are ready to provide answers for any and all mortgage questions. When asked what he likes about the Brisbane Bank of America, Bruce replied “Brisbane is unique, friendly and welcoming. I enjoy working in a small town, a community where everyone knows each other. I like knowing my customers personally.” Kevin continued, “and, look around you, the parking is easy, the community park is across the street and the sun is shining. It is definitely a pleasure to serve the Brisbane community.”
Bruce and Keith have been providing the personal and knowledgeable service you expect from a mortgage banker for more than 15 years. Guided by commitment and responsible lending, Bruce and Keith

Our Giants are finally playing again as the April winds bring in a new season. Along with this change, we have another group of eager 8th graders from Lipman Middle School participating in the Students and Business program. This program allows these students to tour local companies, exposing them to new ideas and hopefully helping these students plan for their future. As one group of students prepare for their first day of High School, we

to modify the state’s Enterprise Zone program to clarify that a company must create net new jobs in the state before it can earn tax credits for hiring employees. Current law allows California companies to reap tax breaks for relocating to enterprise zones in the state even when those moves do not create a net amount of new jobs. The tax credit related to hiring, for example, costs Californians $700 million a year.
“Taxpayer dollars should not be used to reward companies for firing people in one city and hiring new employees elsewhere,” Hill said in a news conference on March 26 near the entrance to the former
distribution hub of VWR International, the laboratory and medical supply company that left Brisbane for Visalia in 2012.
“We should be focusing on true job creation, not job transferring,” said Hill, who was joined by Brisbane Mayor Ray Miller, Councilmembers Clarke Conway and Cliff Lentz, City Manager Clay Holstine and former VWR employees at the news conference.
Mayor Miller spoke of the impact VWR’s departure had on the city’s residents, its coffers and consequently its operations, and Joan Beighley, a 14-year VWR employee, told of the outrage shared by her former coworkers that their tax dollars helped reward a firm that took their jobs away.
Hill’s legislation would require a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to pass and would enact several reforms. They include requiring that a company create a net number of new jobs in the state in order to claim hiring credits under the Enterprise Zone (EZ) program, and that credits be claimed within a year of the hiring. The legislation also calls for a public database to be created listing companies that receive EZ tax breaks and the net number of new jobs created. It also would cap the cost of the program, establish a sunset date and require legislative review, and it would prohibit contingency fee arrangements with tax consultants that drive up the cost of the program.
California’s Enterprise Zone program was established in 1984 to create jobs in disadvantaged communities. Nearly all of the tax credits (91 percent) are claimed by corporations with assets of $10 million or more. Corporations with less than $1 million in assets claimed only 1 percent of Enterprise Zone tax credits.
More information on SB 434 is available from Senator Hill’s offices in San Mateo, 650-212-3313, and Sacramento, 916-651-4013.

have another set of High School seniors applying for financial aid, visiting different college campuses, and planning for their future. One thing is certain; all of these young students will be our leaders in a few years. Your Chamber has had the pleasure of interviewing some of these college bound students whom have applied for our scholarship recognition awards. These interviews have given me hope for our future, but I’m also glad that I’m not applying for college against these well rounded young adults. I want to thank the parents and teachers for giving these young students the tools to succeed.
ScholarShip MatterS:Your Chamber is committed to helping prepare our young
students for their future careers and success. We work closely with our schools and want to reward these good students with a reward recognition program. The best investment in our society is how we mold and shape the youth of our community. The Chamber is accepting contributions for these scholarship awards. If you would like to help, please make your tax-deductible donation payable to the Brisbane Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Fund and mail to: Brisbane Chamber of Commerce, attn.: Scholarship Fund, 50 Park Place, Brisbane, CA 94005. Every dollar contributed goes directly to a worthy student and is tax deductible.
Mark Your calendar:Wed., May 15, 6:30 to 9 p.m. the Chamber will recognize our
strong education system by recognizing and honoring outstanding 5th grade elementary students, Lipman Middle School scholars, outstanding high school graduates and an exceptional educator. The Annual Awards Reception will be held at the Brisbane City Community Room, 50 Park Place. I would like to personally thank the local businesses and concerned citizens who donated the thousands of dollars that will be awarded to the outstanding high school students to supplement their college funds.
Tuesday, May 21, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. the Chamber will host the Students in Business luncheon. At this luncheon, student teams will speak about their visits to local companies and what they learned. Students’ display boards will be on exhibit at the Mission Blue Center, 450 Mission Blue Drive. I also wish to thank the businesses for their generosity in hosting the middle school students. This business experience helps to make a valuable contribution to the education of our students. This program continues today with the support of our businesses. We thank you for your support of this valuable program.
To R.S.V.P. for these events, please contact Mitch Bull, president and C.E.O. at 415-467-7283 or by e-mail [email protected].

Bike to work day tHursday, may 9
This year’s Bike to Work Day will be held on Thursday, May 9. Commuters who bike to work that morning will be greeted by volunteers at various energizer stations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Last year, over 4200 Peninsula bicycle commuters rode by the 24 designated energizer stations in San Mateo County.
“We added four new energizer stations last year. We are working with more employers and community volunteers, so we anticipate a larger turnout on Bike to Work Day next month,” said John Ford, Executive Director of the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance, a countywide public agency that provides alternative commute incentives and resources for San Mateo County commuters.
ENERGIZER STATIONSThe two Brisbane Energizer Stations -- coordinated by the City of Brisbane and community
volunteers -- will be open from 6:15 to 9:30 a.m. One energizer station is at Tunnel Avenue and Lagoon Road, and the other, on the corner of Bayshore and Old County Road. For a
complete listing of these sites in San Mateo County, updates and more event information, check www.commute.org. “Let’s Roll, San Mateo County!”
CATCh A RIDE! LET’S ROLL, SAN MATEO COuNTy!For a chance to win an Apple iPAD, transit and bike commuters are also urged to register for this year’s Catch
a RIDE! Let’s ROLL, San Mateo County! campaign. Take the Pledge and take a commute alternative (carpool, vanpool, transit, ferry, bicycle or walk) to, from or through San Mateo County to work a minimum of eight times during April and May. Deadline to pledge is Monday, May 17, 2013. The campaign ends on May 31, 2013. Visit the Alliance website, www.commute.org, for more details and to take the pledge.

running, Business and liFe...
Brisbane hosted the 2013 Zippy 5K race for local bay area runners on April 21st. Councilmember Cliff Lentz, a runner, was the driving force to bring this event to the city. The race is a great way to showcase Brisbane as a great place to visit and host events that showcase our geography and great locale.
As I thought about the race it struck me that there are a lot of parallels between running (or any athletic pursuit) and running a business. It takes extreme dedication to do the training, and passion to follow through on racking up the miles to develop strength and endurance for building the skills a n d r e s o l v e t o compete. Nutrition, sleep and training are critical, but so are having the right shoes and good medical advice. When all is said and done, running is something that you have to be passionate about to be able to excel at the highest levels. In this way it’s like running a business.
As a business owner, or CEO in a company, the same types of skills are required. The tools are different, but dedication, passion, training and endurance are all things that business leaders have to have in order to excel in running a business. Whereas running can be a solitary pursuit, running a business (generally) requires good “people skills” and an ability to communicate with employees and
customers. Not all executives have these skills but in most cases, these are attributes that the most successful company leaders share.
These skills also serve us well as we move through life, interacting with family members, friends and neighbors. Life requires passion, communication skills and follow-through to be a successful parent or community leader. Think about people that affect change in our lives. People such as Martin
Luther King, Jr., Margaret Thatcher or Lech Walesa all were able to influence global change through their passion, communication skills and drive to keep go ing i n the f ace o f adversity. On the national, state and local levels we all can identify people who have made a difference in
our lives.More than 90% of our national workforce work
for companies that are comprised of less than 50 employees. The owners and management members of these firms all have to have these same skill sets to just keep their companies ahead of the competition. Spring is a great time to do an assessment of our skills and what things we can improve at. Running, business and life. The skills needed are universal.

networking is a neCessary good! In this economic climate,
whether you are looking for a job or developing business, the most effective way to uncover opportunities is by networking. Networking is not just collecting business cards and keeping them in a rolodex file then using them as the yellow pages on an as- needed basis. Networking is the building of relationships which happens every day. To be an effective networker, you do not necessarily have to have a million contacts, but rather, you can have few quality contacts with “connectors”. Connectors are people who can connect you to other networks that you may not necessarily have access to. The goal of networking should not be self-serving but rather to help people. It comes back a hundred fold when you help others. When someone asks you for help, it is actually a networking opportunity. I jump at the opportunity to help, especially when it is not going to put me out. To be a good networker, one must not only be visible and accessible, but credible. If you have built a good reputation amongst your peers, your employers, and within the community, people would not
hesitate to connect you to their contacts or whatever your request may be. Being honest, doing the right thing, and not being a flake is the key in being “networkable”.
Networking happens within your family, your friends, within your workplace, who you do business with, and the general community at large. Joining groups with mutual interests such as a chamber of commerce, volunteering at a nonprofit organization, or attending a business event such as an awards luncheon, are excellent ways of keeping your network fresh and robust.
Networking does not have to be awkward, and it can actually be an enjoyable experience. Always be prepared with having plenty of your business cards handy. Be on time for a function so you can maximize your time there and avoid coming into already formed circles. Be friendly, engaging, and courteous. A good opening question is, “What brings you to this event?”, “My name is______, what is your name and what company are you with?” That should ease into a conversation where you can get a sense of what you both do.
Exchange business cards and say you would like to keep in touch and maybe have coffee sometime.
When you do get a coffee meeting, learn as much about your new contact and see how you can help them out. Networking is an exchange and there should be a mutual benefit. Then get into your spiel.
Refresh your network. It is not always about making new contacts. I t i s about p reserv ing your relationships within your existing network. Sending an email, or a card, and scheduling coffee or lunch, are great ways of keeping your relationships current, and intact. You never know when you will need them as a reference and vice versa. Also, keep in mind that when it comes to networking, every person that you meet is never a waste. Even though you may not see a direct connection to an opportunity for you, your new contact may connect you to those who may. Even if it several degrees away.
There is validity in the saying, “It is not what you know, it is who you know!”

coverage costs, and how these factors will impact our health and the health of our community.
Navigating these turbulent waters is challenging for all of us. At Seton Medical Center, though, one thing that remains steady is our unwavering commitment to our founders’ – the Daughters of Charity – Mission of caring for our entire community as we have done for the past 100 years. We continue to place our patients at the center of all we do, both internally and externally.
Even as we remain true to our legacy, we are continually driving to the future and inventing new ways to ensure the best health care for our patients and our diverse population throughout our community. We do this through enhancing internal operational efficiencies; among them are streamlining our admission process and incorporating electronic medical record systems to improve the efficient transmission of information to better serve our patients’ needs. We are also continually improving our clinical excellence. In fact, we have been recognized for excellence in cardiac care, spinal injuries, orthopedics, oncology, stroke care, women’s health services and robotic surgery.
We see ourselves as much more than a building to which we bring and treat sick people. We are an active community partner helping provide education and screenings in a myriad of venues to promote continuity of care and prevent diseases that lead to lengthy hospital stays.
As we continue to forge our future, we will continue to strengthen our physician and community relationships to lead the changes that ensure a patient-centered, integrated care delivery system in order to best serve our entire community.
unFair state tax tHreatens Housing reCoveryEarlier this year, President Obama signed into
federal law a provision that eliminates, in most cases, imputed “income” to a homeowner, when the owner enters into a “short sale”. Before that law, one whose home mortgage was “under water” would be liable for income taxes on the difference between the fair market value and the
mortgage balance, on a short sale.
Senate Bill 30 will bring into line the California state tax laws. Families are now stuck in California, because they will still be liable for state income taxes on their short sale, and this could threaten the current housing recovery.
Homeowners may choose to let the banks foreclose---rather than modify or short sale---for fear of state tax liability. This would put a real damper on the housing recovery by creating more foreclosures. Senate Bill 30 takes away that fear by eliminating the state income tax liability in a short sale (or modification or refi) situation.

oBservations From tHe mayor
OBSERVATIONS FROM THE MAYOROver two years ago the Brisbane City
Council established a Committee whose purpose was crafting a sustainability vision for development in the Baylands. The Council believes that sustainable development is the right thing to do from both the environmental and business perspectives.
T h e B a y l a n d s S u s t a i n a b i l i t y Committee (composed of two Council Members, one representative each from the Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission. and the Open Space and Ecology Committee, as well as several staff members) has created a ten-point program based on the One Planet Living principles of BioRegional, an international organization whose approach was adopted by the recent London Olympics. Each point is further described in the Committee’s Report in three sections: the first on BioRegional’s expectations for their certification, the second on the Bay Area context, and the third on visionary possibilities for the Baylands itself.
The ten points are:
1. Zero Carbon Buildings
2. Zero Waste
3. Sustainable Transportation
4. Local and Sustainable Materials
5. Local and Sustainable Food
6. Sustainable Water
7. Open Space and Habitat
8. Culture and Heritage
9. Economic Vitality with Equity and Ecology
10. Health, Safety and Happiness
The next task of the Committee is to propose a set of implementation indicators for each of the ten points. Once approved by the Council, they will serve as part of the guiding framework used by the Council in the stipulation of conditions for the development plan.
According to research referenced by the Committee, well-planned sustainable development not only costs no more than conventional development, but it also makes possible significant savings over the lifetime of the project, especially in energy savings and employee productivity. One national study of green building projects done by an MIT professor for the State of California concluded that over twenty years they would yield returns ten times greater than conventional development. It follows, therefore, that designing, building and operating a project in a sustainable fashion not only preserves the natural resources upon which we all depend, but it also makes long-term business sense.
