Please fmd attached letters and memos from representatives of the city, county, and
private enterprise. This letter is an official request seeking donations for the funding of
a Dive and Recovery Team (DART) for the citizens of San Joaquin County.
San Joaquin County Sheriff Steve Moore, through the Sheriffs Foundation, is allowing
donations to be made to a non-profit 501 c3 charitable account for the establishment of
our Dive and Recovery Team, which is to be manned by an all volunteer staff. One
hundred percent of donations are to be used for the Dive and Recovery Team for all
required equipment and accessories.
All persons associated with this endeavor feel it will take the participation of all
government agencies (city, county, and state), private businesses and the public sector
to make this a viable operation. We anticipate a yearly budget of $50,000 dollars.
We hope you will give serious consideration to donating to this endeavor to make it a
reality for all citizens of this county. Through ongoing donations and grants through
different agencies we hope to keep this a permanent entity in this county. San Joaquin
County has over 1,200 miles of waterway and we are in dire need of this service.
Thank you for all due consideration.
Sincerely,
Gene Davenport

My name is Gene Davenport. I am the Secretary -Treasurer of ILWU Local 54 in
Stockton, California. I am writing this letter on behalf of the citizens of San
Joaquin County.
On August 9, 2006 we suffered a loss at the Port of Stockton. At approximately
4 p.m., an accident occurred at the Port of Stockton. We don't know what
happened, but an individual who has worked at the port for over 35 years was
involved in an unseen accident. His name was Jose Perez Correa. At
approximately 10 p.m. that evening his family reported him missing. After the
Port authorities found an accident scene, local emergency agencies were
contacted to respond to the accident. Port authorities were informed by these
emergency agencies that they did not do retrievals. What we found out, was that
with this kind of accident no local agencies will respond to this type of situation
because is not considered a rescue, it is considered a recovery. Needless to say
this put an enormous strain on his family and co-workers who stood by while all
this was occurring. At approximately 2 a.m., the family was informed that the
Sacramento Dive and Retrieval Team would respond at the earliest possible time.
Thanks to the Sacramento D.A.R.T .team, our friend and Brother Jose Perez
Correa and his vehicle were pulled from the water at approximately 8:30 p.m., 32
hours after it was reported.
What this whole tragic accident showed was that San Joaquin County needs to
have its own D.A.R.T. team. After conversations with the Port Director Richard
Aschieris and those involved at the accident, it was agreed upon that we would
try to establish our own D.A.R.T. team for San Joaquin County. Through
conversations with Sheriff Steve Moore, it was agreed upon that we would take
on this endeavor and use the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Foundation (a 5010
charitable organization).
With the help of the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Dept., the San Joaquin County
Fire Departments, the Port of Stockton and other local agencies, we have
undertaken the task of getting this project off the ground. No person or family
should have to go through an event like this again regardless of whom they are or
where they come from. This endeavor will be 100% voluntary and absolutely all
monies will be used in the overhead of this team in the form of equipment and
accessories.
This endeavor won't be a success without local businesses partaking in its
support in a continuing fashion and we would like to count on your support
today, tomorrow, and the future to keep this worthy cause an asset to our county.
Please don't hesitate to call if any concerns or questions.
Respectfully,
C C
