SACRAMENTO, CA — River City Bank, Sacramento’s premier business bank, showed its support for ending homelessness and strengthening communities by presenting a $10,000 donation check to Sacramento Steps Forward. The donation supports implementing a new regional coordinated access system to ensure that homelessness is either preventable, brief, or one-time.

“As one of Sacramento’s longstanding community-based businesses, River City Bank is dedicated to seeing our region grow and prosper, and that includes supporting organizations that provide solutions for ending homelessness,” said Steve Fleming, President and CEO of River City Bank. “As the lead agency for Sacramento Continuum of Care, Sacramento Steps Forward is responsible for providing homeless families and individuals with needed housing and support services.”

“Thank you to River City Bank for this generous contribution and for recognizing Sacramento Steps Forward’s work on a comprehensive approach to end homelessness.

River City Bank presented the donation check to Lisa and the SSF executive team members during its client appreciation reception, which was held on September 21, 2022.

As part of the event tradition, River City Bank recognizes and makes a charitable contribution to one of our non-profit clients. River City Bank employees had the challenging, yet rewarding, job of choosing the donation recipient from many charitable organizations with compelling missions.

Kelly Foundation awards $100,000 grant to Saint John’s Program for Real Change

Donation supports families seeking to end the cycle of poverty

SACRAMENTO, CA — The Kelly Foundation awarded $100,000 to Saint John’s Program for Real Change, an organization that operates the largest shelter for women and children experiencing homelessness in the Sacramento region. The donation will go towards building strong family support structures leading to generational independence and less homelessness.

“Saint John’s directly impacts the lives of women and children desperate for change, and we are excited to partner with an organization that helps the community thrive one life at a time,” said Shawn Kelly Devlin, Chairman of the Board of the Kelly Foundation and of River City Bank. “We’re confident this donation will support families in need to become self-sufficient after experiencing such challenging circumstances.”

“We are proud to support the women and children of the Saint John’s Program for Real Change and respect their ambition to better their lives after undergoing detrimental situations,” said Steve Fleming, President and CEO of River City Bank.

Members from River City Bank and the Kelly Foundation present a check to the Saint John’s leadership team

After an expansion in 2017, Saint John’s added 11 modular homes in 2021, which house up to 55 individuals. Saint John’s now serves up to 320 women and children daily with an on-going waitlist. Members receive extensive education, counseling and training to help lead them to a future of success both personally and professionally. In addition, the finest chefs from the Sacramento area partner with Plates Café each month to provide a one-of-a-kind gourmet meal in support of the women and children served at Saint John’s Program for Real Change.

“The Kelly Foundation’s grant is an investment that will heal lives for generations,” said Julie Hirota, CEO of Saint John’s Program for Real Change. “We appreciate the Kelly Foundation and River City Bank for believing in women and children who work so hard and choose to permanently escape the cycle of poverty and dependence.”

The Kelly Foundation supports health and human services, education, culture, environment, and civic improvement through its funding. During the Foundation’s 2022 fiscal year, approximately $850,000 in grants were provided to organizations that support the Sacramento region. Since merging with the RCB Foundation in 2009, the Kelly Foundation, of which River City Bank remains a major contributor, focuses on giving back to the greater Sacramento region through charitable donations.

2022 Business Outlook

After a two-year hiatus, it was good to see familiar faces in the crowd at River City Bank’s 2022 Business Outlook event at the newly renovated Sacramento Convention Center. With a lineup that included dynamic speakers, Jess Bushey, Market Vice President at Roth Staffing, and leading economist Christopher Thornberg, Ph.D. founder of Beacon Economics LLC, attendees got an insider’s view on recruiting best practices and what might be in store for the economy.

Jess spoke on winning strategies for hiring top talent in a competitive environment. She also touched on adjusting expectations for new candidates while creating a company culture that retains current employees. Dr. Thornberg taught a master class in interest rates, inflation, and their effects on the U.S. and local economies. Notably, he spoke on the substantial gap between a dominant media and political narrative and the reality of financial and real estate markets, inflation, and interest rates, among other related topics.

As always, River City Bank’s Business Outlook event provided a place to connect, share ideas, and be inspired by one another. We look forward to another successful event in 2023.

Client Profile: Sibros Technologies, Inc.

Imagine your car receiving software updates and remedying safety recalls without you stepping foot in a dealership. Sibros has developed technology that allows for just that.

Car manufacturers update in-vehicle software over the air rather than requiring trips to a dealership. Over the past few years, it has seen rapid growth as demand for its Deep Connected Platform (DCP), which enables software updates and data management, has increased. Sibros and its DCP solution have attracted the attention of tech and auto companies around the world, resulting in a recent $70 million Series B funding round.

We had the opportunity to connect with Sibros CEO and co-founder, Hemant Sikaria, about meeting global demand for its technology while trying to achieve its goal of creating a cleaner, safer future for the automotive industry.

What inspired you to launch Sibros?

Sibros was born out of the frustration of software-related vehicle recalls. I was an early engineer at Tesla, helping to build their over-the-air (OTA) software update systems. During this time, I experienced multiple software-related recalls for my (non-Tesla) vehicle that required me to bring it back to the dealer to fix. The dealership was too busy to service my car right away, leaving me no choice but to drive a vehicle that wasn’t safe – and we had several of these models in my family. From my experience at Tesla, I knew there was a better way, and I wanted to make that a reality for every vehicle, everywhere in the world. That was when the idea of Sibros was born.

Please give us a little background on Sibros Technologies, Inc.

I co-founded Sibros along with Mayank Sikaria, who previously managed the Battery Management System software for electric vehicle (EV) maker, Faraday Future. Moneta Ventures (based in Folsom, CA) made our initial seed investment, later followed by a Series A led by Nexus Venture Partners. On January 25, 2022, we announced our Series B funding round of $70M led by Energy Impact Partners, with participation from Fontinalis Partners, Google, Iron Pillar, and Qualcomm Ventures – along with our existing investors Moneta and Nexus.

Today, we sit at 80+ employees and expect to grow to 140+ by the end of 2022. We are currently working with over a dozen automotive customers ranging from large multinational Original Equipment Manufacturers (companies that manufacture parts for new vehicles) to highly disruptive emerging automakers developing exciting new vehicles such as solar-powered cars, high-performance electric motorcycles, and commercial trucks and buses.

What is the Sibros Deep Connected Platform (DCP), and what makes this technology essential to consumers and Original Equipment Manufacturers?

DCP is an embedded software and data management platform that transforms any vehicle into an updatable supercomputer on wheels. DCP is a vertically-integrated, hardware-agnostic solution that meets the highest safety, cybersecurity, and data protection standards and is the only embedded firmware vehicle-to-cloud system that is 95% product and 5% integration.

From a consumer perspective, DCP has the potential to ease their entire vehicle ownership experience, from purchasing a car to preventative maintenance, future upgrades, and selling. Imagine having to visit your cell provider every time your phone needs an update. It simply wouldn’t be practical, and it isn’t practical for cars either, but as vehicles become even more dependent on software, this is the reality we are looking at. Sibros is working to change that reality. So, when a vehicle needs an update, all the owner has to do is press a button rather than drive it to their local dealer.

For Original Equipment Manufacturers, DCP is even more essential. Manufacturers will see reduced recall costs due to vehicle-wide and full lifecycle over-the-air software updates. Real-time smart data collection and remote diagnostics of every electronic control unit enables manufacturers to proactively identify faults. They’ll have access to full-vehicle data from R&D to decommissioning, which provides efficiency, safety, user preference, and functionality insights to improve future designs and stay ahead of industry trends. In addition, Sibros lowers cloud storage costs with DCPs superior levels of data compression and edge filtering.

The Sibros Deep Connected Platform is used in all types of vehicles – trucks, electric bikes, scooters. What’s next for Sibros?

Our primary goal today is to bring a brighter, cleaner, and safer future to the automotive industry through comprehensive vehicle connectivity at a global scale for any automaker. We have been surprised by how so many consumers are still bringing their vehicles into a dealership to install a software fix for a defect whereby a technician plugs in a dongle to apply the patch. This is akin to bringing your iPhone into the Apple Store for its’ iOS update.

We seek to be the industry standard platform that makes cars updatable like smartphones, regardless of the problem it is experiencing – and more importantly, provide automakers with the opportunity to sense these problems before they even happen. Our technology is extensible and can be applied to other industry domains as well, including industrial machinery, surgical devices, marine or aviation – basically any physical asset that is software-defined, connected to the cloud, and can be maintained, optimized, and improved through IoT-based software management, OTA updates, and data analytics.

What advice would you give someone who is seriously considering branching out on their own? What are the lessons you’ve learned?

If you want to build a truly scalable product or IP-based company, we have learned that you must stay true to your product and core values. Unfortunately, it is very easy to get distracted from this goal. Many great software products started from service-based businesses that solved an internal or client problem and productized their creation (e.g., Freshbooks or Basecamp). Alternatively, and particularly in our field, many consulting companies market their services as ‘products’ which end up being billable’ bodies.’

A big lesson we have learned is that to achieve our goals and scale our product to running on 100M vehicles by 2025, we must maintain the integrity of both our product and company. In the past, we have come across lucrative opportunities to provide services not aligned with our roadmap and vision and have consistently turned these down. When you deviate from your core values, you inevitably divide your resources to accommodate ideas outside of your primary purpose. This often leads to deficiencies, cut corners, and sub-par results. From day one, we have built a team rooted in honesty, integrity, transparency, mutual respect, strong work ethic, and kindness. In addition, we take great care in our customer interactions, as they are the heart of what we do.

At Sibros, we follow one clear path and collectively focus our efforts on enacting high-quality processes, automating workflows, questioning methods and tools, and learning from our decisions. The result is a truly amazing product that continues to exceed expectations and redefine the boundaries of possibility.

Yolo Food Bank: Serving Yolo County Communities Since 1970

Back in 1970, Yolo Food Bank was strictly a volunteer program. In 1988, it hired its first employees and officially became a food bank. Fast forward to 2022, Yolo Food Bank now distributes nearly 12 million pounds of food annually and has become a lifeline to the communities it serves. Recently, we spoke with Maria Segoviano, Yolo Food Bank’s Director of Communications. She shared with us how Yolo Food Bank, now the only food bank in the County, had doubled its efforts during the pandemic and how those efforts continue as the lingering effects of COVID remain.

How is Yolo Food Bank helping with food insecurity and advancing nutrition security?

Yolo Food Bank distributes nearly 12 million pounds of food each year to neighbors in need, via 130 distributions each month in every corner of Yolo County. This includes Yolo Food Bank’s direct distribution programs (Eat Well Yolo, Eat Home Yolo, and Kids Farmers Market), and more than 80 nonprofit partner organizations countywide.

While the pandemic appears to be losing intensity, the demand for food assistance in Yolo County remains steady. Emergency needs were joined by pre-existing needs, which were exacerbated by pandemic conditions, laying bare many food access inequities. It is now Yolo Food Bank’s objective to durably increase food and nutrition security and help create an equitable and sustainable local food system by connecting individuals and families to healthy, high-quality food and resources; collaborating with community partners to deepen outreach and address food needs; and convening key players in the community to assess progress and plan collective actions.

How has COVID changed Yolo Food Bank and the people it supports?

Thanks to the generosity of donors of funds, food, and time, and the nimbleness of our staff of essential workers, Yolo Food Bank was able to adapt and respond to a three-fold increase in the demand for food assistance in a matter of weeks when COVID hit. A new home delivery program was created and implemented in days, and all food distributions were adapted quickly to meet COVID safety protocols. Pre-COVID, Yolo Food Bank distributed less than six million pounds of food annually – it ended 2020 having recovered, collected, stored, and distributed over 10 million pounds of food to tens of thousands of Yolo County residents.

“Pre-COVID, Yolo Food Bank distributed less than six million pounds of food annually—it ended 2020 having recovered, collected, stored, and distributed over 10 million pounds of food to tens of thousands of Yolo County residents.”

Tell us about the “Eat Home Yolo” program that began during the height of the pandemic.

Two years ago, Yolo Food Bank swiftly activated a countywide weekly doorstep grocery delivery program now known as “Eat Home Yolo” for senior citizens and vulnerable homebound residents within days of the announcement of California’s stay-at-home order. With COVID-19 in full swing, Yolo Food Bank became Yolo County’s essential food response provider and coordinator, ramping up and adapting the format and delivery to meet the sudden and increased need.

Dozens of dedicated Yolo Food Bank volunteers and three of our partner organizations — Kare4All, Farm Fresh To You, and West Sacramento Mercy Coalition — make weekly nutritious food deliveries directly to residents’ doors. Collaborating with nonprofit partners, community leaders, and businesses in the region to deepen outreach for our homebound neighbors has made all of the difference in sustaining this effort. “Eat Home Yolo” is now an integral part of Yolo Food Bank’s operations, making about 2,400 doorstep deliveries throughout Yolo County each month.

Volunteers and donations are essential to the success of the organization. How does one sign up to donate time or money?

Donations of funds and time are Yolo Food Bank’s greatest needs. Yolo Food Bank is more than 90% funded by private philanthropy – every donation is meaningful and deeply necessary to nourish the tens of thousands of struggling families and individuals that Yolo Food Bank supports each month. Last year Yolo Food Bank conducted a study at our “Eat Well Yolo” food distributions countywide and discovered that about 60% of the households we serve receive more than half of their weekly groceries from these food distributions. Furthermore, about 1/5 of food recipients say they receive nearly all or all of their weekly groceries from Yolo Food Bank. Thank you for assisting your neighbors in need!

Donations can be made via yolofoodbank.org/give, and to volunteer, visit yolofoodbank.org/volunteer to get started.

“As a business leader, I feel it is important to take a moment out of our busy day to invest in our youth who will be our business leaders of tomorrow, “says Janette. “Our core values are attributes we look for in the citizens of our communities, and what better way to teach these values than outside learning the game of golf!”

The Legacy of Randy Paragary

Randy Paragary, a pioneer in Sacramento’s restaurant and nightlife scenes for over 50 years, passed away on August 13th after a short bout with cancer. His entrepreneurial spirit led and shaped a renaissance of food, drink, and hospitality in the state capital.

The Paragary legacy in Sacramento is incomparable. As a graduate of McClatchy High School and an alumnus of Sacramento State and McGeorge School of Law, Randy’s roots in Sacramento ran deep. His debut into the restaurant scene began in the late 60s. Along with his high school friend and business partner Patrick Power, Randy opened his first venture, the ParaPow Palace Saloon, in 1969. Randy continued to succeed in other restaurant concepts, including Paragary’s, Café Benardo, and Centro Cocina Mexicana.

Successful restaurants were not Randy’s only legacy. He provided support and mentoring to many who began their careers in one of his establishments. Randy left behind a generation of industry leaders he helped mold. This unique group included Patrick Mulvaney of Mulvaney’s B&L, N’Gina Guyton of South, Henry DeVere White of DeVere’s Irish Pub, and others who worked at his places before opening their own.

Fort Sutter Hotel

Before he passed away, Randy took on a new role, that of hotelier. Located in Midtown’s Sutter District, Randy and his wife Stacy recently unveiled their six-story, 105-room Fort Sutter Hotel this past January. The boutique hotel boasts a striking interior and architectural design while creating a space for Sacramento artists to showcase their work.

Midtown Parks

Randy was bullish on Sacramento when others weren’t. He was the incredible force behind the vibrancy that is Midtown Sacramento. Randy was a founding member of the Midtown Association, the group behind Explore Midtown, a leader in Greater Sacramento’s hospitality industry. His investments in neighborhoods such as Midtown and R Street became transformative moments that helped to revitalize once-sleepy sections of Sacramento.

The group established Midtown Parks, the organization’s 501(c)(3) arm, focused on investing in local parks. It aims to support the community’s well-being by creating centrally-located public spaces that provide opportunities for recreation, leisure, and building relationships with neighbors. Inspired and honored by Randy’s vision and lasting influence, Midtown Parks is currently raising funds for an upcoming lighting project in Midtown’s Sutter District.

If you would like to donate to the project in memory of Randy Paragary, please visit the Midtown Parks website at https://midtownparks.givingfuel.com/midtown-parks.

Meet Dominick Carlson

Photo by Dominick Carlson

As River City Bank’s Vice President, Credit Manager, Dominick Carlson manages a team of commercial credit analysts tasked with recommending prospective commercial loans for approval based on the loan’s credit assessment. His team is responsible for identifying the associated risks and evaluating historical business operations, company background, industry outlook, and the current economic environment.

We spoke with the avid photographer about resiliency, the beauty of the Sacramento region, the calming effects of coffee, and seeing the world through a different lens.

Hometown: Temecula, CA

First Job: Summer intern at a medical supply company working in their billing department.

First Car: Dodge Stratus. Zero to 60 in a cool 20 seconds.

Favorite Movie: The Prestige – who doesn’t love magic, plot twists, and David Bowie?

What is something people would be surprised to know about you? One of my favorite hobbies is taking photos, particularly out in nature while backpacking. I love the challenge of finding unique compositions for a given scene.

Brenna and Dominick Carlson

Favorite song: The answer changes by the week. To my wife’s chagrin, I’ll listen to a new favorite song on repeat for days until we are both sick of it. Whoops.

Favorite Quote(s): “Good job, Dominick.” Just kidding. The two that have had the largest impact on me both professionally and personally are: (i) “Success has many fathers, but Failure is an orphan” and (ii) “He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.”

Favorite place in Sacramento: The American River – particularly William B Pond and Bend Park. I love getting out in the early morning to take photos of the wildlife during sunrise.

What are you reading right now? I know the ‘right’ answer here is some sophisticated finance or business book. In reality, though, I generally just read Fantasy and Science Fiction in my downtime. Right now, I’m re-reading the excellent Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson.

Photo by Dominick Carlson

Morning ritual: Making pour-over coffee in the Chemex or an espresso in the Mocha Pot. I love the precision of weighing out freshly ground beans, measuring out the appropriate milligrams of water, and timing the process down to the second. If I’m honest with myself, I probably can’t really tell the difference in quality, but it does put me in the right headspace.

Which living person(s) do you most admire? My parents for an inexhaustible number of reasons. Just one of those reasons is how they ‘teach by doing,’ which has shown me — and the people around them — the value of working hard, planning for the future, giving time to others, and finding humor in everything.

What is your biggest takeaway from Covid-19? I think there will be plenty more “takeaways” to be had in the future, but for now, I’ve been most surprised with our collective resiliency. It’s remarkable how quickly we were all able to adapt to the situation in really just a matter of days; working from home, socially distancing, and wearing masks all became second nature. Last year was certainly emotionally tough, but for the most part, we got it done.

What do you like best about working at River City Bank? Although we are a large community bank by asset size, we have maintained a relatively small team of exceptionally talented bankers. While at times this means we each have to navigate a heavy workload, more importantly, it means we individually can have a meaningful, direct impact on the success of our clients and the bank itself. I feel like what I’m doing today always actually matters and will indeed move the needle. It’s exciting.

Doggy Dash 2021

On June 5th, walkers with and without four-legged companions participated in the 2021 Sacramento SPCA (SSPCA) virtual Doggy Dash. Celebrating its 28th anniversary, the SSPCA’s Doggy Dash has grown into Northern California’s largest 2K/5K dog walk and pet festival. This year, the SSPCA had hoped to raise $150,000, but with support from individuals, businesses, and foundations, the event surpassed its 2021 goal, raising $165,000.

Event attendees shared photos and enjoyed the event’s live broadcast and pet festival. Those who connected online also took a virtual tour of the new Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center before the event officially kicked off.

The SSPCA is the only full-service 100% non-profit animal shelter in the Sacramento region and relies on donations from the community to support its mission. In 2020, the organization was responsible for 2,603 animal adoptions, 13,012 animals spayed or neutered, and 1,181 animals ushered through foster care. To donate or learn more about the Sacramento SPCA, visit their website at www.sspca.org.
