UCSF News Visit the Media Center © 2025 The Regents of The University of California News & Reviews News Wire Former Caltrain official convicted of embezzling for construction of apartment at train station Jury rejects defense claim that $42,000 project at Burlingame — A former Caltrain official has been convicted of embezzling public funds to build a secret apartment in the historic Burlingame station used by the commuter rail operator The San Jose Mercury News reports a jury found Joseph Navarro guilty of one felony count of misappropriation of public funds 2025) rejected defense arguments that Navarro’s supervisor had given him permission to use funds to renovate the space and reside there while working 80-hour weeks and that the charges had not been filed within the three-year statute of limitations Navarro will be sentenced on June 11 and could face up to four years in state prison Navarro, formerly a deputy director at Caltrain, was charged just over a year ago [see “Former Caltrain official, contractor face felony charges …,” Trains News Wire He was alleged to have conspired with a contractor to spend $42,000 to remodel office space inside the station opened in 1894 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 Receipts were kept under $3,000 so they did not require further approval Prosecutors said the work resulted in an apartment with a living room The contractor, Seth Worden, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor embezzlement by a public officer in a plea deal earlier this year He faces up to five months in jail and was ordered to pay $8,144 in restitution but Navarro’s apartment wasn’t detected until Caltrain received a tip in 2022 officials said when the charges were announced San Mateo County District Attorney Stepehn Wagstaffe told the Mercury News he was “pleased that the jury was able to see through the defense and recognize that he had no authorization from anybody to build this little apartment there at the train station with taxpayer money.” If this employee was working 80 hours a week,and I am assuming he did not live close to this location it seems reasonable to me that he have a room to stay at instead of a motel.On the other hand if he used it like in the movie THE APARTMENT with Jack Lemmon.He personally did not gain any monetary amount and to be charged with a felony seems overkill I cant imagine who sent the tip off to Caltrain Members enjoy 15% off any purchase in our store.

(WIBW) - After a devastating fire took the home of The Den in Burlingame last month the bar and grill announced that they will be moving into the former Shepard House the L-shaped building at the corner of W Santa Fe & N Topeka a 15,000-square-foot building in downtown Burlingame The building owners originally had other plans for the space the restaurant was already in the process of purchasing the building The restaurant space alone is about three times the size of the original Den and it gives the restaurant the chance to reopen faster The Den is also just one part of what’s ahead for the former Shepard building there are no immediate plans to rebuild for now; it’ll be filled with gravel and used as a space for vendors and community events News | Oct 28 Editor’s note: In a story published by The Aspen Times on Oct Steve Wiseley was incorrectly identified as a homeowner in Burlingame Ranch Phase 1 He is married to Burlingame Ranch Phase 1 homeowner Burlingame Ranch Phase 1 homeowner Anna Garofalo filed a lawsuit against the Burlingame Ranch 1 Condominium Association Garofalo alleges that the Burlingame Ranch Phase 1 (BG1) Homeowners Association executive board is in violation of the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act (CCIOA) for not producing records within 10 days of her requests Garofolo expressed concerns regarding certain association conduct She submitted a written request for the production of association records and gave the association 10 days from the date of her request to comply the board voted to only require receipts from Rutledge and Company the company does not need to answer to the board Garofolo sent a second request for the production or inspection of association records on Sept she again demanded the production of the records within 10 days of the request all she received was a profit/loss statement for the first six months of 2024 as well as the operating documents for the association homeowners association (HOA) members have the right to inspect certain records the association is required to maintain CCIOA also allows the association to require homeowners to submit a written request describing the records sought at least 10 days prior to inspection At the following month’s HOA meeting on Oct and homeowners discussed a letter sent out by Garofolo and her husband in light of an email sent out by BG1 bookkeeper Elizabeth Stewart the BG1 HOA board sent a statement to homeowners in response to the meeting “The BG1 HOA Board has chosen to provide the following response to the recent emails and accusations made by our bookkeeper and by Stephen Wiseley pertaining to supposed ‘Property Management Corruption’ and additional issues involved in the Board’s management of the BG1 HOA They will be addressed below to the extent we are able to do so in light of the pending lawsuit Anna Garofalo has filed against the HOA and related legal issues.” 24 to respond to Garofolo’s complaint; however said “the other side asked for an extension of time.” “They asked for a 15-day enlargement of time so that they could either try to resolve the case or file an answer,” Bryan said “They have two weeks from tomorrow to file an answer.” Bryan noted that it is not uncommon to ask for an enlargement of time especially when there is a change in lawyers The BG1 board switched lawyers because when a board is sued by a homeowner it requires an insurance claim if the board carries insurance The insurance claim then provides a lawyer for the board “The lawyer that they hired out of Denver just got the case so I’m sure he’s trying to get up to speed,” Bryan said The board did release some contract and financial documents that Garofalo requested The documents that were produced by the board were heavily redacted; however “On his invoice it lists several things that (Rutledge’s) paid but there is no supporting document to go with it,” Wiseley said there would be no bill from the roofing company Pay this bill because I’ve already paid it.’ There is no documentation to support the invoice that he’s submitted There are no backup documents from the companies he is saying he paid.” Garofalo alleges that there was a breach of contract with the Condominium Declaration of BG1 the HOA is responsible for the “upkeep and walls which owner is not required to maintain Garofolo requested the association repair a fascia board above her front door it states that the association has not taken any steps to repair or replace the fascia board but they can’t fix a little thing like that,” Wiseley said Garofalo alleges that according to BG1’s final plans which were approved by the city of Aspen and recorded in the real property records of Pitkin County on Oct there are two major public right of ways that run through BG1 at Mining Stock Parkway and Forge Road.  These contain parallel parking spaces that should be 24 feet long The lawsuit states that the only reference on the final plans to the assignment of the parking spaces on Mining Stock Parkway to specific unit owners is with respect to the required handicapped-accessible spaces There is no reference to private ownership of the remainder of the parking spaces on Mining Stock Parkway including those on the public rights of way The association has also adopted parking rules and regulations Homeowners from other communities that Rutledge and Company manages have made similar allegations In an April 2024 Letter to the Editor at The Aspen Times Henry Brightwell said that while helping his daughter and her husband with their move into Burlingame he “received a warning from Will Rutledge & Co to move one of our cars or be booted or towed We moved the car promptly (the following day Easter Sunday) Rutledge chained our other car in a visitors spot directly across from our daughter’s new unit he demanded we Venmo $150 to his personal account or we would be towed.” “Attempts to explain we had no idea of such parking restrictions were met with arrogance and threats,” the letter states “Others in the neighborhood have experienced similar treatment and are willing to share their stories We question the legality of this action but wonder is this how Aspen’s affordable housing authority treats its new customers?” When asked about the oversight the Aspen-Pitkin County Authority (APCHA) has over HOAs and property managers the authority stated they had no oversight since HOA board members are appointed by the homeowners and property managers are hired by the board which is also under Rutledge and Company’s purview had a similar experience with parking when her daughter came to visit her from college Rutledge and the Smuggler HOA board sent her an apology letter “In interpreting our governing documents we made a mistake regarding the parking rules … We are genuinely sorry that our actions made you feel bullied Curley requested her own records from the Smuggler Park HOA on Dec She requested statements for Smuggler Park as well as a certificate of deposit for the account that holds the HOA’s reserve funds for the purpose of monitoring the account Following an Oct. 16 article in The Aspen Times Curley reached out to the HOA once again about her records requests she stated she expected the request to be fulfilled by Oct Rutledge told Curley that she declined to pay for the previous records request after compilation payment would be required up front for the new records request made on Oct Rutledge stated it would take him an hour to fulfill the request and that he would charge $95 to do it He also asked for a check to be sent to the Smuggler Park HOA at that amount “When the check is received and clears deposit the records delivery will be made,” Rutledge said in the email Curley asked Rutledge to provide her with the communication where she declined to pay for the initial records she requested Curley asked if she could expedite the records request Rutledge said that if she put a check on the Smuggler Park HOA president’s door Rutldge would get everything Curley requested to her “This is a courtesy to you at no charge I suggest you bring them to a Board Meeting this is verbatim from the bank: ‘CDs don’t really have statements in the same way as the accounts do.’ What I have attached is the most recent notice of interest credit Curley said that she was charged for the records since the check cleared and the records were incomplete and redacted She also asked Rutldge for the actual email or copy of the communication from the bank that stated that statements aren’t available to the account holder At the time of the publication of this story Curley had not heard back from Rutledge or the Smuggler Park HOA board.Rutledge declined comment for this story

code to capital line named 2024 roof repairs That could not be more vague or raise more red flags,'” her email states The board denied Stewart’s requests to not send the records to Rutledge or over Excel she stated that the board was planning on firing her during the Oct Wiseley asked homeowners to rally around Stewart and immediately remove the remaining four board members from their positions Stewart was initially going to control the Zoom meeting as she does during every board meeting Rutledge decided to send out a Zoom link himself.  He controlled who was let in at the beginning of the meeting homeowners were sent to a Zoom waiting room while Rutledge Stewart said that when she controlled the board meetings The Aspen Times was let in a few minutes later When the reporter stated they were with The Times and was not a resident of a unit the reporter was let back into the waiting room for less than a minute before they were kicked to the waiting room for the rest of the meeting that ended at 8:11 p.m During a phone call with The Aspen Times after the meeting Stewart said that the board decided not to fire her and the homeowners did not garner enough majority votes to fire Rutledge or remove the current board members The Aspen Times also called Rutledge for a comment after the meeting was over He declined to comment and said the board would release a statement at a further date What's your favorite spring task around the house View Results 2025 at 3:38 pm PT.css-79elbk{position:relative;}The officer was taken to San Francisco General Hospital and is expected to make a full recovery CA — Police interviewed a person of interest Sunday in connection with a shooting that sent a Hillsborough officer to the hospital the day before The incident occurred around 3:45 p.m. Saturday, when the officer was struck by gunfire in the back parking lot of the police department in the 1600 block of Floribunda Avenue The officer returned fire and the shooter fled on foot The officer was taken to San Francisco General Hospital and was expected to make a full recovery Throughout Saturday night and early Sunday morning where they interviewed a person of interest “We are continuing to pursue active leads in this case and working tirelessly to identify and apprehend the suspect involved,” police said in a news release Sunday HPD is confident that the suspect fled the scene and that this incident was specifically targeting the police department.” Residents in the area of Floribunda Avenue and El Camino Real were asked to shelter in place with doors and windows locked for about seven hours following the shooting Hillsborough town hall offices were closed for public walk-ins Monday as the investigation continued and an emergency preparedness information session was postponed Get more local news delivered straight to your inbox.
