Trustor(s): ADAN MARTINEZ, A MARRIED MAN Recorded: 7/3/2007 as Instrument No. 2007-0128649 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of FRESNO County, California; Date of Sale: 7/11/2022 at 10:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Van Ness Avenue exit from the County Courthouse at 1100 Van Ness Avenue, Fresno, CA 93724 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $48,239.13 The purported property address is: 3611 E IOWA AVE, FRESNO, CA 93702-2134 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 460-273-17 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-910434-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-910434-BF to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

READ, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN as trustor(s) in favor of LIBERTY REVERSE MORTGAGE, INC. as beneficiary, and was recorded on April 19, 2007, as Instrument No. 2007-0078961, in the Office of the Recorder of Fresno County, California; and

WHEREAS the beneficial interest in the Mortgage Deed of Trust is now owned by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (“Secretary” or “HUD”), pursuant to the following assignment: Corporate Assignment of Deed of Trust from NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC, d/b/a CHAMPION MORTGAGE COMPANY in favor of THE SECRETARY OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT dated June 14, 2019, recorded on June 17, 2019, as Instrument No. 2019-0065349, in the Office of the Recorder of Fresno County, California; and WHEREAS the entire amount delinquent as of June 15, 2022, is $246,639.00; and WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable.

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to powers vested in me by the Single-Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B (the “Act”), and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, which is recorded herewith, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on July 18, 2022, at 10:00 AM local time, all real and private property at or used in connection with the following described premises (“Property”) will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: LEGAL DESCRIPTION: LOT 12 IN BLOCK 2 OF JARVIS SUBDIVISION, ACCORDING TO THE MAP THEREOF RECORDED APRIL 9, 1940, IN BOOK 12 PAGE 8 OF PLATS, IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY. Purportedly known as: 1424 WEST TERRACE AVENUE, FRESNO, CALIFORNIA 93705 The sale will be held at: AT THE W. ENTRANCE TO THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE BREEZEWAY 1100 VAN NESS, FRESNO, CA 93724 Per the Secretary, the estimated opening bid will be $249,290.00. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders, except the Secretary, must submit a deposit totaling ten percent (10%) of the Secretary’s estimated bid amount in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Ten percent of the estimated bid amount for this sale is $24,929.00. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $24,929.00 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for worthy cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to Nemovi Law Group, APC. We will accept certified, or cashier’s checks made payable to the bidder and endorsed to Nemovi Law Group, APC if accompanied by a notarized power of attorney or other notarized authorization authorizing Nemovi Law Group, APC to deposit the check into the firm’s trust account on behalf of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. lf the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of: $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the Foreclosure Commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred because of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this Notice of Default and Foreclosure Sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage Deed of Trust is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is based on the nature of the breach, this loan is not subject to reinstatement. A total payoff is required to cancel the foreclosure sale, or the breach must otherwise be cured, if applicable. A description of the default is as follows: FAILURE TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE WHICH BECAME ALL DUE AND PAYABLE BASED UPON THE DEATH OF ALL MORTGAGORS AND THE PROPERTY IS NOT THE PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE OF AT LEAST ONE SURVIVING BORROWER. Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

In The Matter Of:

NATALI PATRICIA-ANN CEJA,

Minor Person Who Should Be Declared

Free From The Custody and

Control of Her Father

Case Number 22CEFL01310

CITATION

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

TO SALVADOR RICARDO CEJA:

  By order of this court, you are hereby advised that you may appear before the Judge presiding in Department 202  of  this  court  at  2:30 pm  on 8-29-2022, located at 1130 “O” Street, Fresno, California, then and there to show cause, if any you have, why NATALI PATRICIA-ANN CEJA should not be declared free of your custody and control.

  The following information concerns the rights and procedures which relate to this proceeding for the termination of custody and control of NATALI PATRICIA-ANN CEJA as set forth in Family Code §7800 et seq.:

 (1)  At the beginning of the proceeding the court will consider whether or not the interests of NATALI PATRICIA-ANN CEJA require the appointment of counsel.  If the court finds that the interests of NATALI PATRICIA-ANN CEJA do require such protection, the court will appoint counsel to represent the child whether or not such representation can be paid for by the child.  The child will not be in court unless the child so requests or the court orders the child to be present.

   (2)  If a parent of NATALI PATRICIA-ANN CEJA appears without counsel and is unable to afford counsel, the court must appoint counsel for the parent, unless the parent knowingly and intelligently waives the right to be represented by counsel.  The court will not appoint the same counsel to represent NATALI PATRICIA-ANN CEJA and a parent of the minor.

   (3)  The court may appoint either the public defender or private counsel.  If private counsel is appointed, he or she will receive a reasonable sum for compensation and expense, the amount of which will be determined by the court.  The amount must be paid by the real parties in interest, but not by the minor, in such proportions as the court believes to be just.  If, however, the court finds that any of the real parties in interest cannot afford counsel, the amount will be paid by the County.

   (4)   The court may continue the proceedings for not more than 30 days as necessary to appoint counsel and to enable counsel to become acquainted with the case.

    (1)  At the beginning of the proceeding the court will consider whether or not the interests of ROMAN RICARDO CEJA require the appointment of counsel.  If the court finds that the interests of ROMAN RICARDO CEJA do require such protection, the court will appoint counsel to represent the child whether or not such representation can be paid for by the child.  The child will not be in court unless the child so requests or the court orders the child to be present.

     (2)  If a parent of ROMAN RICARDO CEJA appears without counsel and is unable to afford counsel, the court must appoint counsel for the parent, unless the parent knowingly and intelligently waives the right to be represented by counsel.  The court will not appoint the same counsel to represent ROMAN RICARDO CEJA and a parent of the minor.

      (3)   The court may appoint either the public defender or private counsel.  If private counsel is appointed, he or she will receive a reasonable sum for compensation and expense, the amount of which will be determined by the court.  The amount must be paid by the real parties in interest, but not by the minor, in such proportions as the court believes to be just.  If, however, the court finds that any of the real parties in interest cannot afford counsel, the amount will be paid by the County.

       (4)  The court may continue the proceedings for not more than 30 days as necessary to appoint counsel and to enable counsel to become acquainted with the case.

DATED: June 14, 2022

Notice of Intention to Circulate Petition

Notice is hereby given by the persons whose names appear hereon of their intention to circulate the petition within the City of Fowler for the purpose of Fowler Fire Station Measure.

A statement of the reasons of the proposed action as contemplated in the petition is as follows: This petition, The Fowler Fire Station Measure, is being submitted to generate approximately

$500,000 annually to create a revenue source for the city’s fire station fund obligations. This will be a special tax that can only be used on the fire station. The City of Fowler would like to transition from volwtteer firefighters to full time paid firefighters. Shall the City of Fowler pass this measure to enact a half cent (.5) sales tax, with all funds generated staying in the City of Fowler?

The revenues collected will be used on a one time facilities upgrade and ongoing costs to stand up and maintain a full time fire station that will meet the needs of our growing city.

The City of Fowler is growing and is in need of this measure for the safety of our citizens.

Daniel Parra /s/ Danniel T. Parra 1011 Abronian Ave. Fowler, CA 93625

Juan Mejia /s/ Juan Mejia 215 N. 3rd St. Fowler, CA 93625

Mark Rodriguez /s/ Mark Rodriguez 989 Lorene Ave. Fowler, CA 93625

Craig Melon /s/ Craig Melon 1003 Sequoia Ct. Fowler, CA 93625

In accordance with Elections Code Section 9203, the following is the City Attorney’s Ballot Title and Summary of the Measure.

Measure for Fowler Fire Department Sales Tax Increase

The purpose of this measure is to authorize a half cent (one-half of one percent – 0.5%) transactions and use (i.e. “sales”) tax within the City of Fowler that would be imposed on retail transactions involving the sale and use of personal property. The measure is a special tax, with the new revenue raised by the half cent tax increase to be used only for fire department and fire protection purposes, including but not limited to fire station improvements, equipment, firefighter staffing, and provide additional revenue to be used to help the City transition from a volunteer fire department to full-time paid firefighters. The revenue would belong to the City of Fowler and would not be shared with the County, State, or any other agency. The tax increase is estimated to generate approximately $500,000 annually for the City of Fowler.

The current applicable sales tax rate in the City of Fowler from all sources would increase from 8.975% to 9.25% if this measure is approved by the voters. The new tax would be paid at the same time and in the same manner as current sales taxes, and would be remitted to the City of Fowler. The new tax does not contain a sunset date, and would continue indefinitely until ended by the voters at a future election.

In accordance with the provisions of Section 1770 of the Labor Code, the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the State of California has determined the General Prevailing Rates and wages and employer payments for health and welfare pension, vacation, travel time and subsistence pay, as provided for in Section 1773, apprenticeship or other training programs authorized by section 3093, and similar purposes applicable to the work to be done.  Said wages are available from the Internet web site of the California Department of Industrial Relations at http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR/PWD and also available at the City Clerk Office, Clovis Civic Center, 1033 Fifth Street, Clovis, CA 93612.  A copy of the above-mentioned wage rates shall be posted by the Contractor at the job site where it will be available to any interested party.

In accordance with the provisions of Sections 1725.5, 1771.1, 1771.3, and 1771.4 of the Labor Code, this project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.  A contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal (subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code), or engage in the performance of any contract for public work, as defined by that chapter of the Labor Code, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 of the Labor Code.  See Section 7-2 of the Standard Specifications (General Conditions) for additional requirements.

The City of Clovis will affirmatively insure that in any contract entered into pursuant to this advertisement, minority business enterprises will be afforded full opportunity to submit bids in response to this invitation and will not be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, religious creed, sex, or national origin in consideration for an award.

The Federal minimum wage rates for this project as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor are set forth in the Bid book and in copies of this book that may be examined at the offices described above where project plans, special provisions, and bid forms may be seen.  The latest edition is also available from the Internet web site at U.S. General Services Administration and archives are available through the beta.SAM.gov.  Addenda to modify the Federal minimum wage rates, if necessary, will be issued to holders of Bid book.  Future effective general prevailing wage rates, which have been predetermined and are on file with the California Department of Industrial Relations are referenced but not printed in the general prevailing wage rates.  “Modifications” to the wage rates typically change the wage rate or fringe benefits for particular crafts and trades included in the original decision.  Modifications will not be effective if they are received after the bid opening or later than ten (10) days prior to the bid opening (unless there is reasonable time to notify bidders).  Modifications received prior to ten (10) days before the bid opening will require notification of bidders by Addendum.

Attention is directed to the Federal minimum wage rate requirements in the Bid book.  If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate.  The Department will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations.  This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations.  Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate, which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.

Bidders are advised that, as required by federal law, the City of Clovis is implementing new Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE).  Section 2, “Proposal Requirements and Conditions,” under subsection titled “Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE)” and Section 5, “General,” under subsection titled “Performance of Subcontractors” of these special provisions cover the DBE requirements.  The DBE Contract goal is ten percent (10% T.B.D.).  The Agency may consider the DBE commitments of the 2nd and 3rd bidders when determining whether the low bidder made good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.

This project is subject to “Buy America” requirements of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 (Section 165), and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) Sections 1041(a) and 1048(a), Title 23 CFR 635.410, and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto.

This project is also subject to the Cargo Preference Act (CPA) implementing regulations in Title 46 CFR 381, “Cargo Preference – U.S.-Flag Vessels”, for all Federal-aid projects.

All bids are to be compared on the basis of the City Engineer’s estimate of the quantities of work to be done as shown in the bid proposal form.  The Contractor must be licensed in accordance with the provisions of the Business and Professions Code, Division 3, Chapter 9 “Contractor”.  Bidders for this project must possess a valid Class A or C12 License prior to award of the contract and will be requested to indicate the license expiration date, and the license number on the bid proposal if available.  Award consideration will take place at the earliest available Council meeting or as the City Manager has been authorized to award and execute the contract.  All representations made on the proposal are made under penalty of perjury.

The lowest bid shall be determined by the amount of the base bid.  The Owner reserves the right to add or deduct any of the additive or deductive items after the lowest responsible and responsive bidder is determined.

The City of Clovis reserves the right to reject any or all bids, to waive any informalities or minor irregularities in the bids received, or to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder as may serve the best interest of the City of Clovis.

Time of completion for the Project shall be Forty (40) Working Days from the date established in the Owner’s Notice to Proceed.

Unless otherwise required by law, no bidder may withdraw its bid for a period of sixty (60) days after the date set for the opening thereof or any authorized postponement thereof.  The Owner reserves the right to take more than sixty (60) days to make a decision regarding the rejection of bids or the award of the Contract.
