At least four others were treated for injuries. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire swept through the three-story, 43-unit structure at 2551 San Pablo Ave., about a half mile north of City Hall. Firefighters reportedly rescued 15 people from the blaze, including residents who were hanging out of windows. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters found the first victim on the building's second floor, inside an apartment unit, Oakland Fire Battalion Chief Erik Logan said. Two more bodies were found Monday afternoon, hours after the fire was controlled, and the fourth death was announced early Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eighty-six people lived in the building, the first and second floors of which were rented to an Oakland community group for transitional living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Logan said the fire appeared to have started on the building's second floor, adding it was not clear how the blaze started or if the 122-year-old residence was equipped with sprinklers or smoke detectors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The amount of smoke and fire that we had at the onset -- a sprinkler system probably wouldn't have been able to put out that amount of fire if they had a sprinkler system,\" Logan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/OaklandFireLive/status/846352192525164544\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Property records show the building was built in 1895 and is owned by a limited partnership called Mead Avenue Housing Associates with an address in Oakland's Montclair neighborhood. Records show the partnership's general partner is Keith J. Kim, who is listed at addresses in North Oakland and Piedmont. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city's code enforcement database shows a long list of complaints at 2551 San Pablo Ave. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recent was recorded earlier this month, a request by the building's master tenant, \u003ca href=\"http://www.urojas.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Urojas Community Services\u003c/a>, for the city to conduct an inspection because of \"alleged deferred maintenance by landlord.\" City records show that a Planning and Building Department inspector visited the property March 3 and verified the complaint. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Urojas operates two sites in Oakland -- the other is at 88th Avenue and International Boulevard in East Oakland -- as well as a location in Stockton. The organization provides health care and other services to the homeless, mentally ill, veterans and residents re-entering the community from incarceration. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney James Cook, an associate of Oakland civil rights lawyer John Burris, told reporters at the scene of Monday's fire that Urojas had asked for help after December's Ghost Ship fire and expressed fears that Kim was about to evict the organization and its clients from 2551 San Pablo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook described the building \"as in horrible condition.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After recent rains, he said, \"There was virtually like a river on the first floor, with wires exposed to it. There's toilets overflowing. A lot of people with mental health issues, so they're hoarding in their apartments. That kind of thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook said he helped broker discussions between Urojas, Kim, and Oakland City Councilmember Lynette Gibson McElhaney to discuss conditions at the building, disputes about rent and other expenses at the building and a proposal to have Urojas vacate parts of 2551 San Pablo so those areas could be rehabbed and offered to a new set of low-income tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those meetings did not result in an agreement, and on March 17, Kim served Urojas with a 30-day eviction notice. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McElhaney also appeared at the building Monday and confirmed the earlier conversations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've had ongoing discussions to address some of the deferred maintenance issues and improve habitability in the building,\" McElhaney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Programs that serve low-income people sometimes don't necessarily have the resources to do bigger rehabilitation projects,\" she said. \"So we were looking at what the needs were and assessing those so we could bring in donations and voluntary efforts to get them to improve the habitability here.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McElhaney added that she believed some work on the building was scheduled to begin in the next couple of weeks. \"That's now changed,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other recent verified or open complaints involving 2551 San Pablo Ave. include: \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>February 2017:\u003c/strong> Large amount of trash and debris, building materials, furniture in back of property. City records show the complaint was verified and a letter of violation sent to the building's owner.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>December 2016:\u003c/strong> No working heat throughout the building, electrical issues and a large pest infestation. The city says this complaint remains open.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\n\u003cstrong>September 2016:\u003c/strong> Pipe in a kitchen sink is missing causing water leakage and mold and the floor is caving in.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The building was also the subject of repeated complaints about the lack of hot water and electricity in some units and the presence of holes in floors, walls and the roof. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monday's fatal blaze comes nearly four months after Ghost Ship fire, which killed 36 people attending a dance party in an illegally converted Fruitvale district warehouse. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Miranda Leitsinger and The Associated Press contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Two more bodies were found Monday afternoon, hours after the fire was controlled, and the fourth death was announced early Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eighty-six people lived in the building, the first and second floors of which were rented to an Oakland community group for transitional living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Records show the partnership's general partner is Keith J. Kim, who is listed at addresses in North Oakland and Piedmont. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city's code enforcement database shows a long list of complaints at 2551 San Pablo Ave. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recent was recorded earlier this month, a request by the building's master tenant, \u003ca href=\"http://www.urojas.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Urojas Community Services\u003c/a>, for the city to conduct an inspection because of \"alleged deferred maintenance by landlord.\" City records show that a Planning and Building Department inspector visited the property March 3 and verified the complaint. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Urojas operates two sites in Oakland -- the other is at 88th Avenue and International Boulevard in East Oakland -- as well as a location in Stockton. The organization provides health care and other services to the homeless, mentally ill, veterans and residents re-entering the community from incarceration. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney James Cook, an associate of Oakland civil rights lawyer John Burris, told reporters at the scene of Monday's fire that Urojas had asked for help after December's Ghost Ship fire and expressed fears that Kim was about to evict the organization and its clients from 2551 San Pablo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook described the building \"as in horrible condition.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After recent rains, he said, \"There was virtually like a river on the first floor, with wires exposed to it. There's toilets overflowing. A lot of people with mental health issues, so they're hoarding in their apartments. That kind of thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook said he helped broker discussions between Urojas, Kim, and Oakland City Councilmember Lynette Gibson McElhaney to discuss conditions at the building, disputes about rent and other expenses at the building and a proposal to have Urojas vacate parts of 2551 San Pablo so those areas could be rehabbed and offered to a new set of low-income tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those meetings did not result in an agreement, and on March 17, Kim served Urojas with a 30-day eviction notice. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McElhaney also appeared at the building Monday and confirmed the earlier conversations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've had ongoing discussions to address some of the deferred maintenance issues and improve habitability in the building,\" McElhaney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Programs that serve low-income people sometimes don't necessarily have the resources to do bigger rehabilitation projects,\" she said. \"So we were looking at what the needs were and assessing those so we could bring in donations and voluntary efforts to get them to improve the habitability here.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McElhaney added that she believed some work on the building was scheduled to begin in the next couple of weeks. \"That's now changed,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other recent verified or open complaints involving 2551 San Pablo Ave. include: \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>February 2017:\u003c/strong> Large amount of trash and debris, building materials, furniture in back of property. City records show the complaint was verified and a letter of violation sent to the building's owner.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>December 2016:\u003c/strong> No working heat throughout the building, electrical issues and a large pest infestation. The city says this complaint remains open.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\n\u003cstrong>September 2016:\u003c/strong> Pipe in a kitchen sink is missing causing water leakage and mold and the floor is caving in.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The building was also the subject of repeated complaints about the lack of hot water and electricity in some units and the presence of holes in floors, walls and the roof. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monday's fatal blaze comes nearly four months after Ghost Ship fire, which killed 36 people attending a dance party in an illegally converted Fruitvale district warehouse. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Miranda Leitsinger and The Associated Press contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>PHOENIX -- Invoking his father Al's name, and copying what the Hall of Fame owner did with the Raiders, Mark Davis is moving the franchise out of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NFL owners approved the Raiders' move to Las Vegas 31-1 at the league meetings Monday. Miami was the lone dissenter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My father used to say the greatness of the Raiders is in the future,\" Davis said. \"This gives us the ability to achieve that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote was a foregone conclusion after the league and Raiders were not satisfied with Oakland's proposals for a new stadium, and Las Vegas stepped up with $750 million in public money. Bank of America also is giving Davis a $650 million loan, further helping to persuade owners to allow the third team relocation in just over a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rams moved from St. Louis to Los Angeles in 2016, and in January the Chargers relocated from San Diego to L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know our goal is to have 32 stable franchises for each team and the league,\" NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. \"We work very hard and never want to see the relocation of a franchise. We worked tirelessly over the last nine months or so on a solution. We needed to provide certainties and stability for the Raiders and the league.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Raiders, whose relocation fee of approximately $350 million is less than the $650 million the Rams and Chargers paid, likely will play two or three more years in the Bay Area before their $1.7 billion stadium near the Las Vegas Strip is ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wouldn't use the term lame duck,\" Davis insisted. \"We're still the Raiders and we represent Raider Nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There will be disappointed fans and it's important for me to talk to them to explain why and how.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las Vegas, long taboo to the NFL because of its legalized gambling, also is getting an NHL team this fall, the Golden Knights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Today will forever change the landscape of Las Vegas and UNLV football,\" said Steve Sisolak, chairman of the Clark County Commission and a former member of a panel appointed by Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval to study the stadium tax funding plan. \"I couldn't be more excited for the fans and residents of Clark County as we move forward with the Raiders and the Rebels.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and a group trying to keep the team in Oakland, made a last-ditch presentation to the NFL last week. But that letter was \"filled with uncertainty,\" according to Goodell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monday, she asked owners to delay the vote, wanting to give her city a chance to negotiate with a small group of owners to complete a stadium deal at the Coliseum site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Never that we know of has the NFL voted to displace a team from its established market when there is a fully financed option before them with all the issues addressed,\" Schaaf said in a statement. \"I'd be remiss if I didn't do everything in my power to make the case for Oakland up until the very end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf said the city presented a $1.3 billion plan for a stadium that would be ready by 2021. She said the existing Coliseum would be demolished by 2024, with the Oakland Athletics baseball team either moving to a new stadium at the Coliseum site or somewhere else in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the presence of the A's in that sports complex was particularly troubling to the NFL, Goodell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We understand the Raiders' need for a new stadium,\" A's President Dave Kaval said. \"Oakland is an incredible sports town and we would be sorry to see them leave. We commend the city's and county's efforts to keep the Raiders in Oakland. The mayor and her team have worked incredibly hard to save the franchise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are focused on, and excited about, our efforts to build a new ballpark in Oakland and look forward to announcing a location this year.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Raiders' move became more certain this month when Bank of America offered the loan. That replaced the same amount the Raiders lost when the league balked at having casino owner Sheldon Adelson involved and he was dropped from the team's plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis on Monday thanked Adelson for his \"vision and leadership,\" saying the entire deal might not have happened without him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaving the Bay Area is not something new with the Raiders, who played in Los Angeles from 1982-94 before heading back to Oakland. Davis was passed over last year in an attempt to move to a stadium in the L.A. area that would have been jointly financed with the Chargers. Instead, the owners approved the Rams' relocation and gave the Chargers an option to join them, which they exercised this winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, it's off to the desert for the Raiders. Well, in a few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The opportunity to build a world-class stadium in the entertainment capital of the world,\" Davis said, \"is a significant step toward achieving that greatness.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>AP Sports Writers Janie McCauley and Josh Dubow contributed.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

We worked tirelessly over the last nine months or so on a solution. We needed to provide certainties and stability for the Raiders and the league.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Raiders, whose relocation fee of approximately $350 million is less than the $650 million the Rams and Chargers paid, likely will play two or three more years in the Bay Area before their $1.7 billion stadium near the Las Vegas Strip is ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wouldn't use the term lame duck,\" Davis insisted. \"We're still the Raiders and we represent Raider Nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There will be disappointed fans and it's important for me to talk to them to explain why and how.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las Vegas, long taboo to the NFL because of its legalized gambling, also is getting an NHL team this fall, the Golden Knights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Today will forever change the landscape of Las Vegas and UNLV football,\" said Steve Sisolak, chairman of the Clark County Commission and a former member of a panel appointed by Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval to study the stadium tax funding plan. \"I couldn't be more excited for the fans and residents of Clark County as we move forward with the Raiders and the Rebels.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and a group trying to keep the team in Oakland, made a last-ditch presentation to the NFL last week. But that letter was \"filled with uncertainty,\" according to Goodell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monday, she asked owners to delay the vote, wanting to give her city a chance to negotiate with a small group of owners to complete a stadium deal at the Coliseum site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Never that we know of has the NFL voted to displace a team from its established market when there is a fully financed option before them with all the issues addressed,\" Schaaf said in a statement. \"I'd be remiss if I didn't do everything in my power to make the case for Oakland up until the very end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf said the city presented a $1.3 billion plan for a stadium that would be ready by 2021. She said the existing Coliseum would be demolished by 2024, with the Oakland Athletics baseball team either moving to a new stadium at the Coliseum site or somewhere else in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the presence of the A's in that sports complex was particularly troubling to the NFL, Goodell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We understand the Raiders' need for a new stadium,\" A's President Dave Kaval said. \"Oakland is an incredible sports town and we would be sorry to see them leave. We commend the city's and county's efforts to keep the Raiders in Oakland. The mayor and her team have worked incredibly hard to save the franchise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are focused on, and excited about, our efforts to build a new ballpark in Oakland and look forward to announcing a location this year.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Raiders' move became more certain this month when Bank of America offered the loan. That replaced the same amount the Raiders lost when the league balked at having casino owner Sheldon Adelson involved and he was dropped from the team's plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis on Monday thanked Adelson for his \"vision and leadership,\" saying the entire deal might not have happened without him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaving the Bay Area is not something new with the Raiders, who played in Los Angeles from 1982-94 before heading back to Oakland. Davis was passed over last year in an attempt to move to a stadium in the L.A. area that would have been jointly financed with the Chargers. Instead, the owners approved the Rams' relocation and gave the Chargers an option to join them, which they exercised this winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, it's off to the desert for the Raiders. Well, in a few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The opportunity to build a world-class stadium in the entertainment capital of the world,\" Davis said, \"is a significant step toward achieving that greatness.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>AP Sports Writers Janie McCauley and Josh Dubow contributed.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But Fremont Mayor Lily Mei views the landscape a little differently. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re seeing is a field of dreams for us,” Mei said Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city envisions 4,000 housing units in the Warm Springs area and sees future employers adding 20,000 new jobs near the station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday’s ceremony was attended by a mostly happy crowd that came out in the midst of rainy, blustery weather to admire the station’s design — including an art-glass entrance rotunda. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One concern came from Lisamaria Martinez, who is blind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that a feature intended to help the sight-impaired, a raised yellow tactile strip running through the station, is not useful for navigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know where the strip is taking me,” Martinez said. “Is it taking me to the parking station? Is a ticket booth? When I use my ears and listen to the noises around me, I get so much information and can directly go where I need to go, instead of having these little strips \u003cem>assume\u003c/em> I need to go somewhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tactile strips also bothered El Cerrito Mayor Janet Abelson. She uses a motorized scooter, and said those strips can be difficult to drive over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, she appreciates the station is equipped with two elevators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If one of them is out of service, I can still get in,” Abelson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART broke ground on the Warm Springs extension, which runs 5.4 miles from central Fremont, in 2009 and originally planned to open it in late 2014. That date moved back several times. The need to replace electrical power equipment all the way north to Hayward caused one major delay. More recently, difficulties getting the agency’s old train control computer to communicate with the extension’s new data and communications equipment postponed the start of service. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART concedes the opening came well behind schedule, but says the project was completed more than $100 million under its original $890 million budget. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fremont has been the southern terminus for East Bay BART trains since the system’s opening in 1972. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now — get used to boarding a train bound for Warm Springs/South Fremont.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But, at least on this visit, it doesn’t quite live up to the name. The lake is teeming with green algae. Water like this needs a lot of treatment. And when the current water company in Lucerne took over about 15 years ago, the health department told them the treatment system they inherited wasn’t up to the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You simply cannot operate a system that does not provide safe drinking water to customers,” says Paul Townsley, vice president of regulatory matters for \u003ca href=\"https://www.calwater.com/\" target=\"_blank\">California Water Services\u003c/a> (Cal Water). Townsley says the company had no choice but to upgrade the treatment plant, to the tune of about $7 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You take that cost and you divide it by the number of customers here\" -- that's about 1,800 households -- “and you have the issue that we have today,” Townsley says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even with two discounts offered by the company, the cost of water in Lucerne remains unaffordable for many customers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Townsley says that spending any less on the Lucerne system is not an option. “The alternative is to ignore the infrastructure,” he adds, which is the choice hundreds of small water systems around California are being forced to make because they can’t come up with the money to make improvements. As many as \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/report/R_314EHR.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">160,000 Californians\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> get their water from a company that has failed to meet water quality standards in recent years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Cal Water was able to secure a zero-interest loan from the state to build the plant, something smaller rural communities often don’t have the capacity to do. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And, as one of the largest private water companies in the West, Cal Water has access to pools of funding for infrastructure from investors. And it’s up to the customers in Lucerne to pay it back. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"An investor in a company like Cal Water is investing in infrastructure,\" says Townsley. \"The money has to come from somewhere.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It might even be coming from you, if you’ve got a retirement fund. Some major mutual funds invest in Cal Water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it were a public company, money for big projects would come from bonds, Townsley explains. But people vote on bonds.

But, at least on this visit, it doesn’t quite live up to the name. The lake is teeming with green algae. Water like this needs a lot of treatment. And when the current water company in Lucerne took over about 15 years ago, the health department told them the treatment system they inherited wasn’t up to the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You simply cannot operate a system that does not provide safe drinking water to customers,” says Paul Townsley, vice president of regulatory matters for \u003ca href=\"https://www.calwater.com/\" target=\"_blank\">California Water Services\u003c/a> (Cal Water). Townsley says the company had no choice but to upgrade the treatment plant, to the tune of about $7 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You take that cost and you divide it by the number of customers here\" -- that's about 1,800 households -- “and you have the issue that we have today,” Townsley says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even with two discounts offered by the company, the cost of water in Lucerne remains unaffordable for many customers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Townsley says that spending any less on the Lucerne system is not an option. “The alternative is to ignore the infrastructure,” he adds, which is the choice hundreds of small water systems around California are being forced to make because they can’t come up with the money to make improvements. As many as \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/report/R_314EHR.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">160,000 Californians\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> get their water from a company that has failed to meet water quality standards in recent years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Cal Water was able to secure a zero-interest loan from the state to build the plant, something smaller rural communities often don’t have the capacity to do. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And, as one of the largest private water companies in the West, Cal Water has access to pools of funding for infrastructure from investors. And it’s up to the customers in Lucerne to pay it back. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"An investor in a company like Cal Water is investing in infrastructure,\" says Townsley. \"The money has to come from somewhere.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It might even be coming from you, if you’ve got a retirement fund. Some major mutual funds invest in Cal Water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it were a public company, money for big projects would come from bonds, Townsley explains. But people vote on bonds. The residents of Lucerne don’t get a vote. Instead, they get one chance every three years to plead their case at a public hearing with the\u003ca href=\"http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\"> California Public Utilities Commission\u003c/a> (CPUC).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I took the first damn shower in one month today,” Lucerne resident Samuel Bonaccorso told a CPUC judge in front at the latest packed public hearing in December. “Do you know what that feels like?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the hearing, the water company agreed to consolidate Lucerne’s costs with other nearby water districts -- another option that’s only available to a large company like Cal Water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That brings down the monthly water bill for people like Bonaccorso from three times the national average to double what most Americans pay for their water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state of California faces a funding gap of as much as \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/report/R_314EHR.pdf\">$160 million per year\u003c/a> to ensure small, rural communities have access to safe and affordable water.

Her legacy will be that of a “phenomenal” artistic director, as well as “a gifted playwright, author, producer, director, teacher, mentor, and consummate fundraiser,” said Nancy Livingston, chair of A.C.T.’s Board of Trustees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1992, Perloff came to San Francisco from New York, having worked at the off-Broadway Classic Stage Company for five years, following predecessors and A.C.T. co-founders Ed Hastings and William Ball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I came because ACT was built on a great idea and great ideas are hard to come by,” Perloff said Thursday. “And Bill Ball’s idea was great repertoire in collaboration with great training, and that a professional theater should always be about the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Perloff’s artistic leadership, ACT rebuilt the Geary Theater after the Loma Prieta Earthquake, and helped raised $30 million to renovate and open the Strand Theater on Market Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12943821\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12943821\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/New-Photos-126-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Perloff outside of The Strand\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/New-Photos-126-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/New-Photos-126-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/New-Photos-126-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/New-Photos-126-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/New-Photos-126-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/New-Photos-126-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/New-Photos-126-240x320.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/New-Photos-126-375x500.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/New-Photos-126-520x693.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/New-Photos-126.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Perloff outside of The Strand\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Perloff also directed plays by Tom Stoppard, Harold Pinter and others.
