SACRAMENTO A faction of
Californias largest union began submitting signatures Tuesday for a ballot initiative asking voters to raise Californias
minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2021,
one of two competing proposals vying for
the November ballot.
Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom joined SEIUs
United Healthcare Workers West in San
Francisco as union officials turned in signatures. The group said it has collected
600,000 names, far more than the nearly
366,000 required to qualify an initiative
this year.
The initiative, the latest in a nationwide
effort by unions and other groups to raise
the wage, would raise the states minimum
wage by $1 a year starting in 2017 until it
hits $15 in 2021. After that, increases
would be automatically tied to the cost of
living.

Foster City Levee Protection Planning and Improvements Project CIP 301-657
The City of Foster City invites you to attend a Public Scoping Session on Thursday, February
4, 2016 at 7:00 pm in the City Council Chambers, 620 Foster City Boulevard, Foster City,
California on the scope of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Foster City Levee
Protection Planning and Improvements Project (CIP 301-657)
Purpose
The purpose of the meeting is to accept comments from the public on the scope of the Environmental
Impact Report that will be prepared for the levee improvement project. Comments on the scope
should focus on the following probable environmental effects of the project Aesthetics, Air Quality,
Biological Resources, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous
Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Noise and Vibration, Public
Services, Traffic and Transportation and Public Services, Utilities and Recreation. In addition, the EIR
will include an analysis of the projects consistency with relevant City and regional planning policies,
as well as potential alternatives to the proposed project.
Project Location
The Levee Protection Planning and Improvements Project (CIP 301-657) is entirely within the
City of Foster City (City) levee corridor from the
San Mateo City Limit to the San Mateo/Belmont
City Limit. The project site includes approximately
43,000 feet (8 miles) of levees that surround
Foster City along the Bayfront as shown in the
Project Location Map.
Project Description
The purpose of the project is to update the Citys
existing levee system to provide flood protection
in accordance with updated FEMA guidelines and
regain FEMA accreditation for its existing levee
system. Current FEMA guidelines require the
current levee height along the Citys levee system
to be raised to protect the City from flooding
associated with levee overtopping from extreme
high tides or storm surges. In addition, the
improved levee system will be designed to adapt
to future sea level rise while maintaining public
access along the levee system and protections for
sensitive habitat and species.
The San Francisco Bay side of the City levee system is fully tidal open water, slough channels,
wetlands, and mud flats. Land uses on the landward side of the levee system consist of streets,
residential and commercial areas, landscaped open space and recreational areas, unimproved lots,
muted tidal wetlands and seasonal wetlands. Approximately 9,000 properties in Foster City are
protected from the one-percent annual chance of flooding by the levee system that was primarily
designed for flood protection. An additional 8,000 properties in the City of San Mateo are also
protected by the Foster City levee system. Conversely, properties in Foster City are protected from
the one-percent flood by San Mateos levee and floodwall systems south of San Mateo Creek.
Comments on the scope of this EIR are due by February 4, 2016. If you have any questions, please
contact the project planner, Marlene Subhashini at msubhashini@fostercity.org or (650) 286-3244.

6). New toys and old reliable ones.
Voter mobilization used to be all
about pounding the pavement and
driving individuals to the polls.
Then, the rise of television, and
especially direct mail, moved campaigns to mass communication
efforts. The last few cycles have
seen a return to the old style, driven
by political science research that
demonstrates that personal mobilizing is more effective, if more expensive. At the same time, folks are
continuing to try to use new tools
like Facebook, text messages,
WhatsApp, and other online tools,
to reach out to voters and mobilize
their support. This year promises to
see a mix of both old and new, as
campaigns aim to hit the sweet spot
of the ideal method of maximizing
support from different communities.

Super Bowl mind meld: Guac and potato skins in one bite
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
For this easy Super Bowl snack, we combined two of our favorite game day indulgences guacamole and roasted potato
skins.
We start by creating potato boats, which
are dusted with a spicy (you control the
heat) seasoning mix, then baked until tender inside and lightly browned outside.
Meanwhile, we make a delicious batch of
guacamole and as soon as the potato
boats have cooled a bit spoon heaping
mounds of it into them.
Then we eat as many as possible.
Want to dress them up some more?
Nothing wrong with sprinkling the tops
with grated cheese, cooked bacon, cooked
and crumbled sausage, jalapeno pepper
slices, chopped onion or whatever else
strikes you.

RAIN
El Nio brings
hazardous conditions
Along with Tuesdays storm came
hazards such as Pescadero Creek Road
flooding, nearly three times as many
car accidents reported to the
California Highway Patrol and some
losing power after lines were downed.
The combination of dry soil suddenly being saturated and powerful
winds toppled several trees in
Belmont. One resident received a sudden shock when a large tree fell,
striking her home on the 1900 block
of Hillman Avenue, said Belmont
police Capt. Pat Halleran.
No one was injured and it caused
minimal damage to her home. But it
took crews hours to clear the scene

Continued from page 1
Considered part of the California Coastal Trail, the road
continues north before it dead ends at the Miramar Beach
access path. Now, some have raised concerns neighboring
sewer lines and utilities could be at risk if the road is
allowed to deteriorate further.
While El Nio has been credited as responsible for
increasing rainfall and surging swells, Joe LoCoco, the
countys deputy director of road services, said its difficult
to confirm whether the storm systems are directly at fault
for the exacerbated erosion.
Over the course of the last week is when we were really
starting to see some significant erosion, just accelerated
erosion on that bank, LoCoco said. The rains really arent
the big deal [in this case]; whats causing the bluff to erode
is really the waves striking the bluffs in an exposed section
where the waves have been fairly high. In general as of late,
theres been some pretty good swells and surges.
Now, the county and city are seeking permits for an interim shoreline protection project involving boulders being
stacked against the bluffs to protect against the ocean.
LoCoco said local utility providers were also contacted to
check on their lines, such as sewer and power facilities, and
are asked to submit documentation showing exactly where
the infrastructure lies. As a best guess, LoCoco said it
appears more likely the larger utility lines and sewer pipes
span along the east side of Mirada Road closer to the properties and are not immediately at risk.
Joe Colella, who lives at the intersection of Medio
Avenue and Mirada Road, said the neighborhood is gravely
concerned the road could be compromised, potentially cutting off the communitys access to the beach and residents
access to their homes.
Colella said several utility providers marked the roads
Tuesday afternoon and a main water line is now about 8 to
10 feet away from the bluffs.
While the county may be considering using boulders as a
temporary fix, Colella said many along the coast believe
jetties at Pillar Point Harbor are causing the beaches to
erode.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which built the jetty,
has taken years to conduct a study as to whether it will support dredging of the harbor. The San Mateo County Harbor
District is also striving for a sand replenishment project at
Surfers Beach to the north of Miramar Beach, yet receiving
LOCAL
environmental clearance is also expected to take time.
The county and city officials are well-versed in efforts to
mitigate the impacts caused by sand building up in the harbor and are currently in the midst of repairing the riprap
near Surfers Beach.
Colella said hes worried the Mirada Road fix wont
address the root of the problem.
The frustration here is primarily that we just see these
problems rise up because of one big problem, and that is
that the harbor is faulty, the Army Corps of Engineers is
faulty, and the harbor is the main culprit thats causing all
this erosion. And basically absorbing all our sand into the
harbor, Colella said. The riprap at Mirada is another
Band-Aid for a long-term problem. So until they come up
with a solution to dredge the harbor and replenish the
beaches, its not really going to fix it.
Still, immediate action is needed. Officials had to await an
emergency coastal development permit from the Coastal
Commission before making temporary repairs. Theyre
hoping to begin work Wednesday after state officials indicated the permit was approved.
From the countys and Half Moon Bays perspective, we
recognize the urgency of the matter, so were both trying to
do everything in our powers to try and proceed as quickly as
possible with both an initial bluff protection project and a
long-term stability project, LoCoco said.
Similar to riprap, the boulders would be stacked nearly 8feet-high to soften the blow of the storm-powered waves,
LoCoco said.
Were just trying to provide some immediate protection,
so were not looking to stack boulders all the way to the top
of the road, which would be a very large project. Were looking to have it come part way up the bluffs and get to a height
that would at least take the initial blow from most of the
wave action youd anticipate out there, LoCoco said.
Alex Khojikian, Half Moon Bay deputy city manager,
said officials are continuing to monitor the storm season
and striving to protect the sensitive bluffs against the challenging coastal environment.
Any time that its exposed like that, its never good. So
were working to make those emergency repairs. That is the
most important thing at this point, Khojikian said.
In seeking a longer term protection measures, the county
will consider a geotechnical study and possible remedies
that must also be approved by the Coastal Commission.
One concept would be to create a curtained wall with
micropiles. In essence, numerous holes are drilled straight
down into the road then injected with concrete slurry.
Because the small holes are densely packed together, it creates a sort of concrete wall providing internal support within the soil below the road, LoCoco said.
