They first traveled to hear him speak at a leadership conference before offering him the job, Hsiung said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hsiung, who worked in Mountain View for nearly 30 years but began his law enforcement career in San Mateo, initially thought the role in Corpus’ administration could be “a unique opportunity … to bookend my career in San Mateo County.”[aside postID=news_12052383 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/20231211-San-Mateo-Sheriff-021-JY_qed.jpg']He said he believed in Corpus’ vision when Aenlle approached him with the offer in fall 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But quickly, he said, Corpus became difficult to work with, and he noticed a less-than-professional relationship between her and Aenlle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was an “ongoing pattern [that] at meals that they would be sharing entrees,” he said. “They would order one and spit the dish.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the encrypted messaging app Signal, which Corpus’ team used to communicate, Hsiung said he noticed she and Aenlle would appear active and offline at the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey Kearnan, another former sheriff’s official who was part of Corpus’ transition team, testified after Hsiung that from the start of Corpus’ administration, Aenlle would commonly answer questions he directed to her, and on calls with Corpus, he would be on speakerphone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew they were together,” Kearnan said during testimony on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He alleged that on one occasion, he asked Corpus on a video call if she was alone. She said yes, but later in the call, he could see Aenlle in the reflection of the windshield on Corpus’ car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had some concerns regarding what was happening with her and the amount of influence [Aenlle] had with her,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the linchpins in Corpus and Aenlle’s alleged relationship is a trip they took to Hawaii together in October 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12018297\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12018297\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/GettyImages-1459218231-scaled-e1741196609411.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus speaks during a press conference in downtown Half Moon Bay on Jan. 23, 2023. \u003ccite>(Nhat V.

He said he left Corpus’ team shortly after, having given Aenlle an ultimatum that only one of the two of them could stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Callagy also terminated Aenlle’s position on Corpus’ transition team after he found out that the pair had a personal relationship.

Heather Enders, human resources manager for the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, was also called on to speak Monday, and said that Corpus approached her in March 2023 about a high-paying “special coordinator” role for Aenlle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus asked for Aenlle’s rate to be $118 per hour, and when the human resources office recommended a lower rate based on his experience, Corpus allegedly told Enders that “it wasn’t good enough” and that Aenlle had told her to “find a way to pay him more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July 2023, he was hired as Corpus’ chief of staff, or formally, executive director — a new civilian position that appeared to replace one of the office’s assistant sheriffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aenlle was the only applicant for that role, Enders testified, and according to the county’s bombshell November 2022 report, authored by retired Superior Court Judge LaDoris H. Cordell, it was never advertised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Corpus took the stand late in the day, she said she hired Aenlle because he was someone she could trust. To a civil grand jury, she had called him a “confidant,” but retracted the claim after being presented with the definition of the word, which suggests a confidant is a person you share secrets with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As the sheriff, you need to have people you can trust,” she told the court, appearing to allude to her former staff who were now testifying against her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus said Aenlle had come on the Hawaii trip to help care for her son, who has autism, and that they shared meals because she’s “not a big eater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she “was not” romantically involved with him, and told the judge she was single.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus and her ex-husband were divorced in 2023.

Swire said much of his opposition is rooted in equity concerns, as more highway lanes could lead to more traffic, and more polluted air for lower-income and disadvantaged communities near highways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swire said he felt some board members were trying to remove him because of his advocacy and, in doing so, were stifling differing viewpoints on how to improve transportation locally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone who volunteers for a county committee or board is an advocate in one way or another, Swire said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody advocates, and when you advocate for things that certain people like, it doesn’t seem to be a problem. But when you advocate for minority opinions or things that other people like, that is questioned. So, you can’t have that inconsistency,” he said after the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medina and Nagales did not respond to requests for comment on Thursday, but during the board meeting, they sought to emphasize that diversity of opinion is something they value, and they said the recommendation to not reappoint Swire wasn’t based on disagreement with his views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But other board members questioned the reasoning behind the recommendation against Swire and said he is a plus to the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have not heard any specific rule that was violated or even a timeline.

As Alston began preparing to renovate their new home — which included shifting the house forward on the lot, changing the architecture style and building an accessory dwelling unit for his mother-in-law in the backyard — neighbors got wind. They weren’t happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flyers stuck in mailboxes warned that the new homeowners were going to destroy a historic property.

Residents of Baywood and nearby neighborhoods have attended City Council meetings and signed petitions — some set on preserving the look of the neighborhood they moved into decades ago, and others arguing that new restrictions would make renovating their homes nearly impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2024, the council tried to broker an agreement between SMHA and Less Red Tape, proposing to create its own updated local historic resources program. In the meantime, council members hoped that SMHA would pause its appeal to the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal fell apart, but Hietter said SMHA still pulled back for about six months. In December, she announced that the group would resume its push for state recognition, citing slow movement on the part of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the council’s letter urging the historic resources board not to vote on Baywood’s status during its May meeting, officials said San Mateo had “recently allocated funds to develop a local process for evaluating and designating historic resources, including updates to related ordinances,” which it said would increase community engagement and “build consensus around our historic preservation efforts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Should the nomination advance at the state level before our local process is fully developed, it could inadvertently undermine these efforts — not only in Baywood but across the entire City of San Mateo,” the council said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What makes a neighborhood historic?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>According to SMHA’s application to the state board, Baywood became a commuter suburb of San Francisco as the city emerged as an industrial hub in the 1920s and ’30s. Upper and middle-class businesspeople who wanted to get out of the dense cityscape after much of it was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake moved a 20- to 30-minute streetcar ride down the peninsula and built homes in the hills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hietter said the mix of French, Spanish revival and Tudor style homes are signatories of the time period and important to preserve.

However, across California, the number of applications from neighborhoods requesting historic status has been increasing over the last decade, according to Annie Fryman, the director of special projects at the housing advocacy group SPUR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although no searchable database of historic district nominations exists, according to the state parks department, six neighborhoods in California — including St. Francis Wood in southwest San Francisco — were granted historic status between October 2020 and March 2024 based on applications with the same loose outline as Baywood’s.[aside postID=news_12024770 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/20250113_North-Beach_DMB_00193-1020x680.jpg']The increase in historic district applications could be a reaction to new state housing legislation being implemented at the same time, much of which is meant to ease development and help cities meet lofty requirements for building new housing, Fryman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of these laws, which aim to rectify years of housing discrimination, expedite permitting and allow more single-family lots to be subdivided into duplexes. They also carve out exemptions for historic places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the challenges with historic districts is that they’re often exacerbating existing patterns of segregation by saying, ‘This is already a segregated place and nothing here can ever change,’” Fryman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Disproportionately, neighborhoods that get these designations are in wealthier, more segregated areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So many state housing laws are basically attempts on the edges to address existing patterns of segregation,” Fryman told KQED. “And establishing historic districts squarely takes us backwards in that journey. That’s something that hasn’t been reconciled in the field yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Baywood was developed in the 1920s and ’30s, it had housing covenants that blocked Black and Asian people from purchasing homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, it remains one of San Mateo’s most prestigious — and wealthiest — neighborhoods. It’s 70% white, and the median sale price for three-bedroom properties like the one Alston purchased was $3.03 million from 2021 to 2024, according to Zillow, an online real estate marketplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>More ‘Red Tape’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Elliott and Alston believe the SMHA is motivated by a desire to “control the neighborhood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A historic designation could force homeowners to hire historic consultants, go through additional California Environmental Quality Act reviews or face lawsuits, making renovations more expensive and resource-intensive, Elliott said. CEQA litigation adds an average of two years to a housing project’s timeline, according to a report from the state’s Little Hoover Commission, an independent oversight agency that investigates state government operations and policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12033668\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12033668\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Houses in the Baywood neighborhood are seen in San Mateo, California, on Thursday, March 28, 2024. \u003ccite>(Juliana Yamada/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“In the face of such lengthy delays, financing can vanish, stopping a project even if it would eventually have survived the CEQA process and been approved,” the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hietter argues that a historic designation’s effect on homeowners would be minimal and maintains that the designation is symbolic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historic resource regulations are enforced at the local level, and it would be up to San Mateo to add Baywood to its historic resource ordinance, Hietter said.

They also carve out exemptions for historic places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the challenges with historic districts is that they’re often exacerbating existing patterns of segregation by saying, ‘This is already a segregated place and nothing here can ever change,’” Fryman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Disproportionately, neighborhoods that get these designations are in wealthier, more segregated areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So many state housing laws are basically attempts on the edges to address existing patterns of segregation,” Fryman told KQED. “And establishing historic districts squarely takes us backwards in that journey. That’s something that hasn’t been reconciled in the field yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Baywood was developed in the 1920s and ’30s, it had housing covenants that blocked Black and Asian people from purchasing homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, it remains one of San Mateo’s most prestigious — and wealthiest — neighborhoods. It’s 70% white, and the median sale price for three-bedroom properties like the one Alston purchased was $3.03 million from 2021 to 2024, according to Zillow, an online real estate marketplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>More ‘Red Tape’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Elliott and Alston believe the SMHA is motivated by a desire to “control the neighborhood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A historic designation could force homeowners to hire historic consultants, go through additional California Environmental Quality Act reviews or face lawsuits, making renovations more expensive and resource-intensive, Elliott said. CEQA litigation adds an average of two years to a housing project’s timeline, according to a report from the state’s Little Hoover Commission, an independent oversight agency that investigates state government operations and policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12033668\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12033668\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/240328-BaywoodHistoricDistrict-JY-022_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Houses in the Baywood neighborhood are seen in San Mateo, California, on Thursday, March 28, 2024. \u003ccite>(Juliana Yamada/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“In the face of such lengthy delays, financing can vanish, stopping a project even if it would eventually have survived the CEQA process and been approved,” the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hietter argues that a historic designation’s effect on homeowners would be minimal and maintains that the designation is symbolic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historic resource regulations are enforced at the local level, and it would be up to San Mateo to add Baywood to its historic resource ordinance, Hietter said.

Voters in San Bernardino County in 2001 and Los Angeles County in 2022 both approved charter amendments to give their supervisors the authority to remove their sheriffs, but neither board put the issue to a vote.
