Morning News Round-Up -- 2.4.10: SBMPD

The County Administation, led by County Executive David Boesch, and the Deputy Sheriffs' Association are in a bit of a battle, if you recall. Stemming from a not-so-nice letter Boesch sent the Deputies about how they must not really understand the economics of the County and that they are being stubborn about salary give-backs. The Deputies shot back this week saying that they actually agreed to some give-backs, but that the County Administration (Boesch) never brought their proposal to the Board of Supervisors... now the County Administration has gone quiet. Given the "hornet's nest" they stirred up, perhaps that's a good idea...

There is no news on the healthcare front in DC, but there is in SMC.. the Sequoia Healthcare District is granding $4.3 million (out of the nearly $17 million it will cost) to consolidate three of the County's clinics into one facility. The three clinics are: Fair Oaks Children's Clinic, Fair Oaks Adult Clinic, and Willow Clinic.

There has been a home-robbery crime spree in San Bruno apparently. It has prompted police to call a community meeting slated for February 17th... until then, lock those doors.

Speaking of police -- the departments in the aforementioned San Bruno and Millbrae will be combined starting at the end of the month. Perhaps their first big success together will be to get to the bottom of the home-robbery crime spree in San Bruno....

The Menlo Park City School District is heading to the ballot in May for a $178 per parcel tax. It needs 2/3 to pass and will go toward bridging the budget gap at the District.

Only 9 folks showed up for the really important meeting about whether or not to disband the Half Moon Bay Downtown Business Association. They didn't disband, but rather are thinking about making 'membership' mandatory through a Business Improvement District within the city.
