Borrow another $1.2 million, raising a total of $1.8 million for construction. Keep the project for 10 years.

In return, says Napa Finance Director John Dannewitz, the investor will receive: A 9 percent tax deduction on construction costs. Deductions on building depreciation over the next 10 years. Deductions on any related losses over the 10-year period. A return on tax credits totaling 27.8 to 32.8 percent over the next 10 years.

Fimgan also said Monez has the background and leadership skills to match the Napa community. Monezs starting salary will be $59,940 a year, Fimgan said. "Hes probably one of the best steals Napa has ever seen, Acting Chief Geoghegan, a lieutenant, said today. "In Vacaville, the management people think highly of him. So do the rank and file.

Thats unusual. He seems to have an endless amount of energy and charisma, Geohegan said. "With his interest in community involvement, hell bring a fresh approach to the department.

(AP) No one was injured in an apparently unprovoked shooting early this morning on Interstate 280, San Bruno police said.

An 18-year-old San Francisco man told police he was driving northbound with six friends at about 3:30 a.m. when a blue Toyota Celica pulled alongside and a passenger fired two shots. One of the shots struck the left front tire and caused it to go flat, said Officer Dave Schwartz. The assailants car then sped away from the scene of the shooting, just south of the Avalon exit and about 10 miles south of San Francisco, Schwartz said. The driver and passengers in the car that was fired on said they did not know their assailant, Schwartz said.
