MIDTOWN MARKETBY: ALISON WILSON, Brisbane Chamber Editor/Marketing Director [email protected]

A down-home full service market, Midtown Market, has been serving Brisbane and the surrounding area since

1940. The market offers high-quality food and specialty products from around the world, locally grown produce

fresh from the farm, a full meat and deli department, specialty food and beverage items fl owers and a novelty

and toy department.

Let’s face it; traffi c in San

Mateo County is bad and

getting worse. The county

is the beneficiary of a robust

economy, but a by-product of

that success is traffi c congestion

that now extends well beyond the

traditional peak hour commute

periods and locations. While there

are some promising projects being

considered to ease the traffic

congestion in San Mateo County,

most of them are many years and

millions of dollars down the road.

In the meantime, it’s up to all of

us to make small changes to our

commutes so that collectively we

can make progress in reducing

traffi c congestion in the county.

Can you trade your drive to

work for a bike ride or a transit

trip? How about carpooling with

coworkers? Does your employer

have a telework option?

S a n M a t e o C o u n t y ’ s

t r a n s p o r t a t i o n d e m a n d

management agency, Commute.

org, wants to know if you are up to

the challenge. We recognize that

most commuters can’t leave their

cars at home every day, but using

a commute alternative one or two

days a week can make a huge

difference.

We know that driving alone to

and from work has typically been

the most convenient option for

most commuters, but given the

increase in traffic over the past

couple of years that equation

has started to change for many.

In an effort to get people to

consider options to driving alone,

Commute.org is again hosting a

countywide Commuter Challenge.

T h e 2 0 1 7 C o m m u t e r Challenge runs for two months (Apr-May 2017). Employers and

commuters can win prizes by

setting by logging in and setting

up an account, then using the

transportation alternatives to

“ditch the (single driver) car” and

take the “challenge.”

had amazing results. Commuter

SO, THE DROUGHT’S OVER, ISN’T IT?BY: MAYOR LORI LIU, City of Brisbane, [email protected]

Governor Jerry Brown just released an

Executive Order that ended the drought state

of emergency in all California counties except

Fresno, Kings, Tulare, and Tuolumne, where

emergency drinking water projects are helping to

address diminished groundwater supplies.

Notwithstanding the “official” end of the

drought, the Governor clearly intends to make

water conservation a way of life, and has issued

instructions to the State Water Resources Control

IT’S OUR BUSIEST SEASON OF THE YEAR…BY: MITCH BULL, Brisbane Chamber President and CEO [email protected]

It was great seeing many of the “mover and shakers” within San

Mateo County at the 48th Annual Progress Seminar, organized by

the Redwood City Chamber last weekend. The turnout was fantastic

and the frank and valuable discussions are always needed to elicit feedback

and create solutions to the challenges that we face in the county. Housing,

workforce retention, traffi c and transportation issues are some of the biggest

areas where creative and innovative solutions are needed, and it will take

cooperation with all of our local municipalities to create and implement the

solutions. All of the cities, related entities and citizens need to have forums

to discuss ways in which we can address these challenges yet maintain the

quality of life for those of us

that are fortunate enough to

live in the Bay Area. The

Progress Seminar is a great

place to start.

2017-18 Brisbane Directory… by now, most

everyone has received the

newest Directory published

by the Chamber. We thank

all of our advertisers and

the people who helped

create, layout and edit

the book. While it looks

like many of the books we

have published over the

decades, the evolution of

how we communicate has

resulted in some changes.

In the old days (5-10 years

ago) pretty much everyone

had a “land line” in his

or her home that was

hooked up to Pacifi c Bell’s

network. It was easy to

accurately publish the

residential telephone book,

by obtaining the lists from

PacBell. Today, with many

households either using

cell phones as their primary

number, dropping a land

line from the telephone

c o m p a n y ( AT & T ) , o r

increasingly bundling their

telephone service through

their Comcast cable or

AT&A U-verse services, it

is much more challenging

to accurately try to list

all residential telephone

listings. While we still

procure lists from AT&T,

we are unable to secure

lists from Comcast, Sprint,

Verizon, etc.

O v e r t h e l a s t 1 8

months, we publicized

th i s cha l l enge in the

Luminary, reminding folks

that if they wanted to be

listed in the directory, and

had a provider other than

AT&T we would need them

to give us the telephone

information. We received

some responses. After

publishing the book, we

also received calls from

people that had bundled

their services, and were no

longer listed in the directory. We apologize for that, and are including the

information given to us in our online version, which is on our website and is

updated weekly, as a “living document.” If you wish to be in the directory

going forward, please shoot us an email at: [email protected] with

your information and we will gladly update our list.

Students in Business and Government 2017… I would like to express a

big “Thank you” to all of the companies, city departments, school district

personnel and everyone

who par t ic ipated in

our annual “Students

i n B u s i n e s s a n d

Government” event last

week. For over 20 years,

al l of our 8th grade

s tudents a t L ipman

Middle School have had

the opportunity to visit

local businesses and

learn about businesses and careers, as well as the education and skills

needed to work at each one. This year, over 60 students participated

with our 15 work sites. I always enjoy seeing the students interact with

the business people. We couldn’t do this without the participation of our

businesses and the great teachers at Lipman Middle School.

Get on your Bike… the annual Bike to Work day is right around the

corner!! May has been designated around the Bay Area as “Bike Month” and

there are several days dedicated to getting people moving around on two

wheels. On Thursday, May 11th from 6:15-9:30am two Brisbane energizer

stations will be set up at on the corner of Bayshore Blvd and Old County

Road and the corner of Tunnel Ave. and Lagoon Way. This is the Bay Area’s

23rd annual “Bike to Work Day.” Expect to see many bikers coming through

Brisbane on Tunnel Road, Bayshore, and even over Guadalupe Canyon

Parkway! For more information on Bike to Work Day, visit the website at

www.commute.org, or call 650.588.8170.

Excellence in Education… we are also in the midst of collecting

information and setting up interviews with our outstanding high school

seniors that have applied to the Brisbane Scholarship Recognition Program.

After applying, the students will go through an interview process with the

Brisbane Chamber scholarship committee. The interview allows them to

meet the panelists and express themselves in person to make an impact that

one cannot get solely from reading an application and high school transcript.

We follow the interviews with the “Excellence in Education” event, which will

be held in early June, at which these seniors will be celebrated. In addition

students from BES, Panorama and Lipman Middle School are recognized.

An Educator of the Year award is also bestowed on a local teacher. It’s not

too late to make a donation to the cause. Just send a check to our offi ce,

with “Scholarship Fund” noted on the item section of the check.

Mission Blue Camp is back… Brisbane’s Ken Walker is again organizing

and operating a summer camp for elementary school age children. Mission

Blue Camp launches this summer at Lipman Middle School from June 12

to June 30. The camp is sponsored by the non-profi t Brisbane Youth Sports

Association in cooperation with the Brisbane School District and City of

Brisbane. It is open to elementary school age kids currently in TK-5 and

offers a comprehensive program that includes art, study and exploration of

San Bruno Mountain, athletic instruction and free time at the Brisbane Pool!

The staff includes teachers from the Brisbane School District and other

licensed instructors. Kids will rotate through four theme-based stations then

end the day at the pool. There are various registration options including

1-week, 2-week, full day, half day and extended care. Brisbane residents

and Brisbane School District students are granted a discounted fee. Go

to the missionbluecamp.org website for more information and registration

instructions.

Lastly, a vibrant community has to have a balanced and vibrant business

sector to ensure stable revenue for the community, and to be good corporate

citizens who help to create an environment where we all can benefi t.” Please

remember to shop local when you can and support the brands and businesses

that we have as friends and neighbors.

We are interested in ideas of what you would like to see in future issues of

the Luminary and want to hear your thoughts. You can email us at: mitch@

brisbanechamber.org, or send us a note at the chamber offi ce.

FROM THE CHAIR, continued from page 1

Board and the Department of Water Resources requiring them to

take steps to continue development of permanent prohibitions

on water use and requirements for urban water agencies to

continue reporting of water use, and to continue response

activities that may be needed to manage the lingering drought

impacts to people and wildlife.

We are waiting for these two Executive Agencies to develop

the fi nal implementation regulations pursuant to the Governor’s

order, but in the interim, the following prohibitions and

requirements remain in place:

GRANT FUNDING RECEIVED FOR CROCKER PARK TRAIL

Have you

taken a stroll

along Crocker

P a r k T r a i l

before? It ’s

a 2.25 mile

existing former

railroad right-

of-way located

in the Industrial Park, passing directly behind many of the

businesses along Valley Drive, the “spine” of the industrial park.

The trailhead is located on Park Lane directly across the street

from the Dog Park and adjacent to the Purcell Murray business.

There are also fi ve street intersections where you can hop onto

the trail; Cypress Lane, North Hill Drive, West Hill Drive, Valley

Drive and Park Lane.

The City recently applied for and were recommended to

receive grant funding from the federally funded One Bay Area

Grant Cycle 2 (OBAG 2) to install stabilized decomposed granite

surfacing over the railroad ballast rock to make the trail passable

to pedestrian and bicycle commuters/users, including those

using wheeled transportation and parents with strollers.

Project criteria included proximity to a Planned Development

Area (PDA), as designated by the Association of Bay Area

Governments (ABAG), the regional planning agency that is

complementary to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission

or MTC (who administers the federal grant for our area),

and location of a project in or in close proximity to a Priority

Development Area (PDA) with affordable housing preservation

strategies. Project selection for our county was administered by

C/CAG (City/County Association of Governments). At fi rst, the C/

CAG Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee recommended not

funding the Crocker Trail project, but Brisbane Councilmember

Cliff Lentz made an appeal to the C/CAG Board to fund the

project despite the recommendation, with the information that

43,000 trips where they used bikes,

transit, walking, carpools, vanpools and

shuttles to commute. 789,000 miles

of alternative commutes resulted in an

estimated 207 tons of CO2 reductions.

And those commuters who reported using

an active mode like biking or walking

burned over 3.3 million calories on their

logged commutes. The purpose of the

Commuter Challenge is to get people

who regularly drive alone to try active and

public transportation, or to coordinate

with coworkers and friends for a more

sustainable commute to work. Not only

do those commuters save money on their

commute, but they also make a healthier

and environmentally friendly choice when

it came to getting to and from work.

Everyone who logs a trip is eligible to

win weekly prizes as well as grand prizes.

More importantly, those commuters who

use alternatives to driving alone do their

part to help us improve the quality of life

for everyone in San Mateo County. So, as

a commuter, an employer, or someone who

wants to make a difference even running

their daily errands, check out the many

services and options that are available

through the Commute.org website.

There is a new tool to help increase the

use of alternative transportation, reduce

traffi c and parking stress, and increase air

quality by using the tool at: my.commute.

org. The organization is encouraging

everyone to try out the tool by logging

on to my.commute.org and creating an

account. The tool is great for individual

commuters but can also be used by

employers as well. Below you’ll see the

benefi ts that are available to commuters

and employers.

Commuter Benefi ts• Track Your Impact & Get Rewarded: Users may track their trip choices

to see the impact on their costs and

local environment, receive rewards,

and compete with fellow residents and

employees your area. By tracking travel

choices in a diary, users will receive

digital badges that can be shared on

social media for actions such as “first

alternative trip logged” or “fi rst bicycle

trip.” Top performers for each travel

mode will also be displayed on a digital

leaderboard. Tracking trips may also enter

a user in a contest or campaign.

• Explore Your Transportation Options: My Commute.org will provide a range of

travel options for a user’s trip and the

impacts associated with each choice. This

will help the user to make an informed

decision about their trip.

RELATIONSHIP MANAGERSBY: FREDDY BEAMAN, Board Member Brisbane Chamber of Commerce, Vice Presideent - City National Bank, [email protected], 415-272-7223

According to Investopedia, a Relationship Manager is a professional

who works to improve a fi rm’s relationships with its clients and internal

departments. They are the quarterbacks to help with planning your

successful change in life.

If you have noticed, we are seeing a big shift with many fi nancial

institutions changing their job family titles to refl ect this overwhelming

overused phrase. Remember, changing a name doesn’t mean there was

additional trainings to facilitate this change.

Is your bank representative a good Relationship Manager and how well

do they know your business? A true Relationship Manager knows about your

industry, the current challenges you face, and how they can partner with

you. They bring up ideas that are segmented to your industry. Relationship

Managers should know that your personal and business fi nancial statements

are treated as one as they are both dependent with change.

A true Relationship Manager manages the change in their client’s life.

They already know their client’s business and ask questions to understand

the why, how, and when this change will occur. If your Relationship

Manager doesn’t get a passing grade then maybe it’s time for you to change.

FLOAT? FLOAT ON!BY: CURTIS ROE, Treasurer and Board Member Brisbane Chamber of Commerce, CPA Director - Finance, Purcell Murray, [email protected]

Have you ever heard the term, “float”? When talking about cash

management, fl oat has an entirely different meaning compared to sailing a

boat. When managing cash, we have our book balance and our bank balance.

The amount of time it takes for the transactions to equal is called fl oat.

For example, at the lemonade stand we purchased some Meyer

Lemons. We have $500 in the checking account and we purchased $200

worth of product. We cut the check on Monday but it did not clear the bank

until Friday. For 4 days that week we had $200 of disbursement fl oat in our

checking account. This is an example of why it is so important to keep timely

records of our transactions. If on Tuesday we look to our internal books for

our cash balance, we would see we have $300 in the account. If we relied

solely on our bank balance, we would see $500 in the account which would

not be entirely true. To take a cash withdrawal of $500 on Tuesday after

writing a $200 check on Monday, we would be over drawn $300 on Friday

when the check was presented to our bank.

Float goes in two directions; disbursements and deposits. Most

checks that are deposited at our bank take a day or maybe a few to clear. So

if we deposited $150 on Monday, our bank would refl ect the balance as would

our internal books. However, not until those checks were cleared would they

be available for use. This is called collection fl oat. If the checks were sent

to the bank by mail, then that time should be taken into consideration as

well. If it takes 4 days to mail, 2 days to process, and 2 days to clear, we are

looking at 8 days of fl oat and not in our favor.

The combined disbursement and collection fl oat is called net fl oat.

Knowing your fl oat can be crucial if managing large amounts of money.

Having a strong working relationship with your bank can make this task much

more manageable. A line of credit with a sweep account can eliminate a lot

of cash management stress when considering the amount of time is needed

for fl oat management.
