Jose Rivera Retires from Partnership Board of Directors 

    A nationally recognized speaker on diversity, community and business, Jose R. Rivera has overseen Kaiser Permanente in San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties the past 21 years as Medical Group Administrator.
   He has served on the Partnership Board of Directors for 17 years, 1996 to present.
   Rivera announced his retirement recently, saying his last day would be September 30th. This was announced in a memo by Kaiser's Physician-in-Chief Moses Elam.
   Rivera began his career after graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, with an undergraduate degree in Psychology and graduate degree in Public Health Administration. He then held a residency at Children's Hospital in San Francisco, where he became one of the youngest Assistant Administrators  in the hospital's history.
   After joining Kaiser Permanente, Rivera rose steadily through the ranks, becoming Medical Group Administrator at Kaiser Stockton in 1992 - overseeing 165 physicians, 800 employees and an annual budget of nearly $135 million.
   His passion has always been community involvement and the the encouragement of diversity in the workplace.
   His contribution to the Partnership's Mission statement  is " to enhance the quality of life for our communities".
   Quality of life for everyone is something Rivera strives for and particularly for Latinos. He is proud of his Latino heritage and  has supported  the resurrection of  local health fairs and supported literacy programs such as San Joaquin A-plus.
   His work on  the San Joaquin Partnership Board reflects his  comprehension of the need for  job development program such as  the Partnership's as well as the critical need for educational programs to develop skill sets to attract  higher  wage paying industries.
  We thank you Jose Rivera and wish good times with you family and grandchildren...but we know you won't put down your activism cards for long.
Y nos vemos pronto.

San Joaquin County

Enterprise Zone Ending.

VOUCHER NOW!

  

   At the beginning of July, Governor Brown signed into law bills AB93 and SB90.  These two bills ended the almost 30 year old, highly successful,  California State Enterprise Zone (EZ) Program.       

   These bills effectively raised the taxes on San Joaquin County businesses by tens of millions of dollars per year, and eliminated a key incentive for businesses to located to and expand within San Joaquin County.   The EZ Program was responsible for creating and retaining tens of thousands of jobs over just the past few years.   The EZ program was replaced by a new, statewide, incentive program that will do very little to help economically distressed areas such as San Joaquin County. 

   With the EZ program ending at the end of the year, it is now critical for businesses to submit California State Enterprise Zone Credit Voucher Applications before the end of the year.

   " All EZ Vouchers that are approved before the end of the year will be good for the entire five year credit period for each eligible employee." says Ed Wanket, Business Retention and Expansion Specialist for San Joaquin County Economic Development Assoc. and one of the counties Enterprise Zone Specialists. 
   "In addition to that, all unused credits for employees that are vouchered prior to December 31, 2013 will carry forward for another 10 years.

   Businesses need to take a close look now to see if they can qualify any new hires for this year or previous years.

Even a small business can stand to lose tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in unclaimed credits if they don't get thier EZ vouchers approved before the end of the year." 

   Any business that needs assistance can call the Economic Development Association and talk with Ed Wanket at (209) 468-3613 or Connie Rill at (209) 468-3615. 


   If you would like more information on the new  State Incentive Program you can contact Ed Wanket as well.

 

 Take advantage of these benefits NOW!  

 1.  Hiring Tax Credit - up to $37,400� per eligible 
      employee
over a five year period.

  
2.  Sales and Use Tax Credit on qualified machinery. 

 

 3.  Business Expense Deduction - up to $20,000 
      per year on
tangible personal property.

  
4.  Net Operating Loss Carryover - up to 100%

 

      carryover to future years. (Suspended 2010-2012)

  
5.  Net Interest Deduction for Lenders - which may
      result in 
3-4% increase in return on investment.

 

   
How can this help your business? 

 

 

Visit  www.sjcez.org for more information and a map or contact your EZ Specialists: Connie Rill and Ed Wanket at 209-468-3615. 

 

Qualifying businesses may capture tax credits from June 22, 2008!  

The Enterprise Zone Program will end effective December 31, 2013. It is imperative that you submit your claims prior to this date!
