CLARIFICATION: “Recapture fee” not over for everybodyLast month’s letter to the editor stated that Octo-
ber was “the last month for paying the $11.80 recap-ture fee for back taxes for the park owners” and that“there was a 5-year term limit that started October2008 to November 2013.”
This was no doubt true for the writer, and for quitea few other homeowners in the park, but this exact
timetable does not hold true for everybody.Manager Teresa Cruz explained that for some
residents who have signed leases, the terms of thelease prohibited any change in the rent amount untilthe individual anniversary date, which is different foreach space. Your individual anniversary date is theannual date when a 4% rent increase, if you havea lease (or a 3% rent increase if you do not have alease), goes into effect.
While the 5 year term of the recapture fee add-on started in October 2008 for much of the park,those on leases with anniversary dates of November
and onward through the calendar year did not havetheir recapture payments begin until their next rentincrease notice. This could have been as much as 11months, or even a year, after it started for others.
Additionally, a parkwide audit by a regionalmanager employed at the time found some isolatedinstances of households that had not begun payingthe fee, for whatever reason, so those were added tothe schedule.
The bottom line is that all residents were accessedthe same amount (approximately $700) to pay thenew owners’ increased taxes, and given 5 yearsto pay it. Some residents elected to pay the wholeamount at once, though this option was not gen-erally known, but for most, the amount was spreadequally over 60 months, WHENEVER it started.
If you have questions, the office can tell you whenyour anniversary date is and how much time is left, ifany, for this fee.

A worker completes the striping of the visitor parking on theeast side of the clubhouse while another marks the speed bumpas last month’s roadwork throughout the park concludes. Morespeed bumps were added throughout the park in an effort tocombat the thoughtless, irresponsible and dangerous speed-ing that has plagued the park for decades. Inset: Fencing nowencloses the electrical equipment, shown above behind theworkers. The dilapidated wooden fence formerly surrounding thearea blew down in strong winds last winter.
Not all thieves are stupidSome good examples of how vulnerable we are.
Even if these are made-up scenarios, they could cer-tainly be real!
1. AIRPORT LONG TERM PARKINGSome people left their car in the long-term parking
at San Jose Airport while away, and someone brokeinto the car. Using the information on the car’s regis-tration in the glove compartment, they drove the carto the people’s home in Pebble Beach and robbedit. So I guess if we are going to leave the car in long-term parking, we should NOT leave the registration/insurance cards in it, nor your remote garage dooropener. This gives us something to think about with allour new electronic technology.
2. GPSSomeone had their car broken into while they
were at a football game. Their car was parked on
the green which was adjacent to the football sta-dium and specially allotted to football fans. Thingsstolen from the car included a garage door remotecontrol, some money and a GPS which had beenprominently mounted on the dashboard. When thevictims got home, they found that their house hadbeen ransacked and just about everything worthanything had been stolen. The thieves had used theGPS to guide them to the house. They then used thegarage remote control to open the garage door andgain entry to the house. The thieves knew the ownerswere at the football game, they knew what time thegame was scheduled to finish and so they knew how
much time they had to clean out the house. It wouldappear that they had brought a truck to empty thehouse of its contents.
Something to consider if you have a GPS - don’tput your home address in it... Put a nearby address(like a store or gas station) so you can still find yourway home if you need to, but no one else wouldknow where you live if your GPS were stolen.
3. CELL PHONESThis lady has now changed her habit of how she
lists her names on her cell phone after her handbagwas stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cellphone, credit card, wallet, etc., was stolen. 20 min-utes later when she called her hubby, from a payphone telling him what had happened, hubby says‘I received your text asking about our Pin numberand I’ve replied a little while ago.’ When they rusheddown to the bank, the bank staff told them all themoney was already withdrawn. The thief had actu-ally used the stolen cell phone to text ‘hubby’ in thecontact list and got hold of the pin number. Within20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money fromtheir bank account. Moral of the lesson: a. Do not
disclose the relationship between you and the peo-ple in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home,Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc.... b. Andvery importantly, when sensitive info is being askedthrough texts, CONFIRM by calling back.
Also, when you’re being texted by friends or familyto meet them somewhere, be sure to call back toconfirm that the message came from them. If youdon’t reach them, be very careful about going plac-es to meet ‘family and friends’ who text you.
4. PURSE IN GROCERY CART SCAMA lady went grocery-shopping at a local mall and
left her purse sitting in the children’s seat of the cartwhile she reached something off a shelf...wait till youread the WHOLE story! Her wallet was stolen, andshe reported it to the store personnel. After returninghome, she received a phone call from the Mall Secu-rity to say that they had her wallet and that althoughthere was no money in it, it did still hold her personalpapers. She immediately went to pick up her wallet,only to be told by Mall Security that they had notcalled her. By the time she returned home again, herhouse had been broken into and burglarized. Thethieves knew that by calling and saying they wereMall Security, they could lure her out of her houselong enough for them to burglarize it.
*PLEASE PASS THIS ONEven if this does not pertain to you....Pass it on to
your family and friends.

Status report of theowner application to close the BuenaVista mobilehome park in Palo Alto.
On October 18, 2013, for the second time, the Cityof Palo Alto told the owners of the Buena Vista mobile-home park that there “Relocation Impact Report” wasincomplete.
This shows that so far, the Palo Alto City Council isstanding firm, in making the park owner treat the mo-bilehome owners in their park fairly. This link will tell youthe whole story.
http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/gov/depts/pln/current/buena_vista_mobile_home_park.aspAs far as Hayward goes, in a nutshell, the present
“Hayward General Plan” designates that the land mo-bilehome parks occupy, is for mobilehome parks only.This is some protection, but unfortunately a generalplan can be changed, and there is absolutely no guar-antee the land designation stays mobilehome parks.
At the present time, there are no provisions in Hay-ward’s rent control ordinance about fairly compensat-ing park residents if an owner wants to close a park.
Minutes of the SR1 Board Meeting—November 7, 2013 Meetings of the elected Spanish Ranch I Executive Board are held on the rst Thursday of each month (unless other -

Meeting called to order at 7 p.m. Present werePat, Dawn, Jeanie, Barbara, Patty L and Marvin.Peggy and Brenda were excused, no word of Clint.
Minutes were dispensed with since there haven’tbeen any in months.
Treasurer’s Report: E-mailed in advance of themeeting and was approved, as there were insignif-icant changes.
Resident Concerns:A resident called about the letter to the editor
that said the recapture fee of $11.80 was over, butsaid her household was still paying it. Teresa hadcontacted the editor, explaining how different anni-versary dates could affect the repayment schedulefor an individual household, and a clarification willbe published.
Helping Hand:Marvin responded to 3 calls this month from dis-
abled or elderly residents.
COMMUNITY:Neig hborhood Watch meets December 10. The
Hayward Neighborhood Alert that our neighborhoodgroup is part of can no longer meet at Southland, sois moving to the building formerly occupied by theHistorical Society at C and Main. A Christmas Party isplanned for December 4.
NERT —Creek Cleanup was weeks ago with onlyDawn and Jeanie, and the bags still haven’t beenpicked up. Dawn will contact the county again.
HMOA —Meets Saturday, 11/16 at Continental.
OLD BUSINESSHalloween Refreshment Station on Halloween
night came off OK though traffic was light, with per-haps 50 stopping by. The front gate also reportedconsiderably fewer people coming for treats than inyears past. There was plenty of candy donated forboth the front gate and the refreshment station.
Road work is nearly completed and the consen-
sus is it looks fantastic! There was a bit of grumblingabout the speed bumps, the increased numberof them, and the fact that they are sharper thanbefore, but it’s generally acknowledged that nothingelse has worked to curb the speeding.
NEW BUSINESSGeneral info: Barbara reported that the ring-billedgulls are back and lining up on the wall at the backgate. In the past Mr G has noted that bird poopleads to a decline in graffiti on that wall, though hefinds both distasteful.
A Flea Market has been set for March 8, 2014 andthe date reserved via the official reservation form tomake sure a “conflict” does not develop after wehave already publicized the event.
Having a Monte Carlo night was discussed and Patwill gather more information.
