San Mateo County are “cautiously optimistic” after meeting
with agency officials on Tuesday.
Residents of North Fair Oaks met with SFPUC representa-
tives to discuss alternatives to cutting down the tree they nick-
named “Granny,” which stands in the path of a $4.6 billion
seismic upgrade of the Hetch Hetchy water delivery system.
Neighborhood spokeswoman Mary Ann Mullen said
Wednesday that the SFPUC has pledged to continue to
research the cost of boring a tunnel beneath the tree’s roots that
would save the tree and preserve the seismic stability of the
new water pipeline being installed in the area.
“A lot of things need to be considered before any action can
be taken,” Mullen said.
On May 18, SFPUC General Manager Ed Harrington sent a
letter to residents of 14th and 15th avenues saying that con-
struction around the tree would be halted while he personally
evaluates the situation, and that work would not be allowed to
start up again before June 6.
The SFPUC had previously argued that removing the tree
completely was the only way to protect the integrity of the
seismic upgrade.

Business briefs
Yahoo CEO vows to clean up Alibaba mess in China
SAN FRANCISCO — Yahoo Inc. CEO Carol Bartz found
herself in a familiar position Wednesday: assuring stock mar-
ket analysts that she will clean up a mess damaging the long-
slumping Internet company’s market value.
The latest challenge to confront Bartz in her nearly 2 1/2
year-tenure emerged two weeks ago. That’s when Yahoo
jarred investors by informing them of an abrupt change affect-
ing the value of its 43 percent stake in Alibaba Group, one of
the leaders in China’s rapidly growing Internet market.
Alibaba had spun off a potential jewel — its online payment
service Alipay — into a separate company controlled by its
CEO, Jack Ma, without giving Yahoo anything in return.

Google and Citibank each throw $55M to the wind

MOUNTAIN VIEW — Google Inc. is throwing another $55
million to the wind.
The Mountain View-based Internet search giant is partner-
ing with Citigroup Inc. to help finance the Alta Wind Energy
Center wind farm in California’s Tehachapi Mountains.
Google has been investing hundreds of millions in wind ener-
gy as it seeks reliable new ways to power its massive server
farms, or data centers, which are notorious power hogs. The
clusters of computers power Google’s growing array of online
services ranging from Internet searches to e-mail. The simple
act of typing in a Google search taps into those computing
resources — and the grid that supplies energy to those
machines.

Rates rise, health insurance execs bank big bucks

LOS ANGELES — Top executives at health insurance com-
panies banked large salaries in recent years while rates rose
dramatically on individual policyholders in California.
In filings with the state’s Insurance Commissioner last
month, Blue Shield of California reports that its chief execu-
tive officer was paid more than $4.6 million in 2010.
The San Francisco-based insurer raised rates on some poli-
cyholders about 38 percent over 2010 and 2011.
