Tracy City Center - Downtown Updates – May 2018<br />
Mountain House’s Own, Reno Ursal, Seeks to Become<br />
Every Thursday – Attention commuters and working families! Select<br />
businesses in Downtown Tracy have committed and will be participating<br />
San Joaquin County Assessor in June 5 Election<br />
in our Late Night Thursdays, extending their business hours on Thursday<br />
nights to 9pm. https://tracycitycenter.com/event/late-night-thursdays<br />
Reno Ursal, known around town primarily for his basketball skills, as coach for the MHHS Girls<br />
Basketball program, and the independent Wolverines, seeks to take his professional skills up a<br />
notch. Ursal, whose current job is Alameda County Supervising Appraiser, is running for San<br />
Joquin County Assessor.<br />
In his own words –<br />
Since 2004, I’ve worked through the ranks of the Alameda County Assessor’s Office,<br />
serving as Supervising Appraiser the last seven years.<br />
I have property tax appraisal experience and knowledge of the California Revenue<br />
and Taxation Code. I know how an Assessor’s Office runs and operates. Yet I also offer a<br />
fresh perspective as a candidate outside of the San Joaquin Assessor-Recorder Office.<br />
A few specific goals of mine:<br />
Implement proactive programs to educate and inform the public on Prop 13 and<br />
California Property Tax law.<br />
Streamline technology platforms with partner County agencies<br />
Emphasize clear and engaged communication with homeowners, businesses, other<br />
County agencies, State Board Of Equalization staff and County Board of Supervisors.<br />
I’m passionate about serving and giving back, exemplified by my involvement in<br />
my local communities as a basketball coach and youth mentor. I’ve worked with multiple 501c3 non-profits<br />
to engage our youth in sports and education programs that will lead them towards a successful path.<br />
I was moved to run for office so San Joaquin County residents have another candidate to choose from and<br />
my belief I am well qualified with 13+ years Assessor’s Office experience who can offer a fresh perspective to<br />
this position in San Joaquin County.<br />
