Correction

The May 5 edition of the Weekly incorrectly identified Certificates of Participation, a bond-like certificate that uses a city-owned asset as collateral. This mechanism has been used by communities to fund construction for such major projects as city halls and police buildings.

To request a clarification or correction, call Marc Burkhardt, managing editor, at (650) 326-8210, or write to P.O. Box 1610, Palo Alto 94302.
