Fest pictures!
The 19th Annual CornFest took place the second weekend in July in its third
location in as many years. Despite the challenges this presented for festival
Chair Dirk Zeigler and Co-Chair Ken Seamann and the CornFest committee,
the event had very few glitches.
Crowds were estimated at 40,000 over the three days. The weather was
mild, parking and space were plentiful, corn was delicious and the entertain-
ment was one of the best lineups ever. Some favorites were back this year
such as the car show and the tractor races, which were not held last year due
to limited space in the downtown location. New this year was a heritage area
that highlighted Brentwood’s agricultural roots with displays from the East
County Historical Society and FFA. There was also a corn recipe contest
sponsored by KSFO and the Brentwood Press.
The carnival was bigger than ever as California Carnival brought new rides
including a 7-story ferris wheel that lit up the night sky right along with the
Friday night fireworks extravaganza.
This event could not go on without the hundreds of volunteers and non-
profit groups that get involved to make CornFest a success. This year’s Corn-
Fest was profitable and the non-profit groups will be sharing in that success
with a share of the profits to support the work they do right here in our Brent-
wood Community.
Mark your calendars for CornFest’s 20th Anniversary on July l3th, 14th and
15th, 2012!

Mission Statement: The Brentwood Chamber of Commerce is a
voluntary organization dedicated to the promotion of the civic and
commercial progress of the community. We will continuously strive
to maintain and foster a healthy business climate for Chamber
members and the entire community.
DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE:DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE:
New Networking LunchNew Networking Lunch
Looking for a new and educational way to network at lunch? Come have a N.I.C.E.
Lunch at the Chamber (Network, Interact, Connect, and Engage). No more old
school brown bags. As a Board, we know that offering programs that provide value
for your membership is important. We know many join the Chamber as a way to
increase business and exposure to the community. How do you get it though? Well, it
is simple… INVOLVEMENT. I know it sounds cliché but it really is true, the more
you put into your membership, the more you get out of it. A great way to start getting
more involved is taking a break out of your day and have lunch at the Chamber. Once
every month the Chamber board and staff work hard to provide what used to be a
―brown bag‖ lunch with a speaker. We want to take this idea to the next level. We
have revamped the old brown bags to give you more. We will incorporate a true struc-
tured networking aspect to these meetings with tips and ideas to increase your network-
ing. We will continue to have speakers on rotating topics that support the core values
of the Chamber – topics will include business development, technology, personal devel-
opment, local issues and politics, as well as quality of life topics. Our goal is to pro-
vide topics that will interest many of our members as well as non-
members. Additionally we want to tap the resources of our Chamber membership for
speakers for these lunchtime events. If you have a topic that you feel would fit into our
categories, please let the Chamber staff know so they can forward your ideas and con-
tact information to the appropriate board members.
If it weren’t for my involvement with the Chamber, I can honestly say my business
would not be where it is today. Barbara Frantz and I formed our law practice at the end
of 2009 after a meeting and discussion at a Chamber Mixer. Our business together is
better than when we were in business apart. From the people I have met and formed
friendships with over the years, provides amazing business connections that not only
bring in referrals to my practice but provide me a resource of experts in a variety of
fields to whom I can confidently refer any of my clients to when they have a need.
See what your missing and come check out our NICE luncheons!

Taking Financial Responsibility: What’s Your Game Plan?
How’s your financial strategy coming along? That old adage, ―People don’t plan to fail,
they fail to plan,‖ can be especially true when it comes to finances. And, given the current
economy, the best time to start taking control of your finances is today. Being financially
responsible doesn’t just happen. It’s a conscious decision you make to live within your
means. Slowly, U.S. consumers may be catching on. A nationwide survey on the financial
state of U.S. households, conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, found only 13% of
households are currently saving 7% or more of their disposable income, although fully
36% of households expect to save at this level in 5 to 10 years.1 While that trend may be
encouraging, there remains ample room for improvement.
It’s Never Too Late to Plan
No matter what stage of life you’re in, you should have a strategy that helps meet your
current financial needs while creating a path to help you reach long-term financial goals.
Whether you’re just starting out or nearing retirement, a strategy is necessary, and the
good news is no matter what your age, it’s never too late to start. A proactive approach
now can help avoid heartaches and disappointments later on.
Consider the following scenarios:
If you’re single and just starting out, it’s never too soon to start a savings plan. By just
saving a small amount today, you can make a huge difference later on. What fi-
nancial goals can you set today to help make your dreams a reality?
If you’re the head of a new household, perhaps with a new baby, how do you protect
your family’s standard of living in case anything happens to you or your spouse?
If you died today, how would your family manage financially?
If you have young children, it’s never too early to start saving for their college ex-
penses. How can you start a college education fund so they won’t be burdened
with student loans and can attend the college of their choice?
If you’re thinking about retirement, consider what amount of your current income
you can allocate into retirement savings vehicles, such as 401(k) plans, IRAs and
other investments. With retirement possibly lasting 20 or 30 years, the more re-
sources you have the more likely you’ll be able to enjoy it. Do you want to just get
by or be financially comfortable so you can enjoy life with your family and
friends?
No matter where you are in life, a financial strategy is a necessity. With a proper strategy,
you’ll always be in a better position to help achieve your financial goals, whether it’s buy-
ing a home, driving a new car or retiring. I am excited to become an Ambassador at our
Brentwood Chamber. As a Brentwood resident since 2002 I am eager to serve and partici-
pate in seeing our community, families and businesses grow.

(August 25, 2011) A California Chamber of Commerce-opposed bill that increases employers’ costs by broadening the defini-
tion of the types of injuries that qualify workers to receive temporary disability (TD) benefits for an extended timeframe has been placed on
the Senate Appropriations Committee suspense file, pending review of the bill’s fiscal impact.
AB 947 (Solorio; D-Anaheim) extends the time frame that injured workers may receive TD benefits from 104 weeks to 240 weeks, depend-
ing on a physician’s requirements.
―AB 947 adds huge new payroll costs for private and public employers in California while our 12 percent unemployment rate remains among
the highest in the nation and government is struggling to protect public services,‖ said CalChamber Policy Advocate Thomas Vu.
Last week the state Department of Finance announced its opposition to the bill based on the fiscal impact to the state.
California businesses, schools, local governments and the state will pay an additional $210 million annually for workers' compensation TD
benefits under AB 947, according to a recently released analysis by the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Senate Appropriations published the analysis based on work by staff to the Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation
(CHSWC).
Increased costs of $210 million annually amounts to a 1.5 percent increase *to the $14 billion workers' compensation system, the legislative
analysis said. Total paid state workers' compensation costs in 2009–10 were $503 million.
Current law includes a number of exceptions under which injured workers may receive TD payments beyond 104 weeks, to a maximum of
240 weeks. The injuries cited in the statutes are very specific and include hepatitis B and C, amputations, severe burns, injuries to the eyes,
lung disease and several more.
AB 947, however, includes broad provisions—rather than specific types of injuries as under current law—thereby circumventing TD benefit
statutes. As written, the bill allows for extending TD benefits to 240 weeks for an injury depending on the requirements of a physician. Alt-
hough there certainly is a need for the physician to make some type of determination, the allowances for the types of injuries are open-ended.
AB 947 is a broadly written bill that would unintentionally include cases where TD payments do not need to be extended to 240 weeks. As a
consequence, workers’ compensation costs would increase for all employers, both public and private, at a time when the economic recovery is
still frail. It is estimated that AB 947 will have a system wide cost of more than $200 million, of which $8.5 million would have a state impact
for employees’ workers’ comp claims.
AB 947 will be reviewed by Senate Appropriations at the committee’s next hearing and may be voted off the suspense file and sent to the full
Senate for a vote.
Contact your senators and members of the Senate Appropriations and urge them to oppose AB 947.
