From cbs news bay area, thi is the afternoon edition. It is back to school in oakland, whats different for teachers this time around. Thousands of San Jose City workers vote to strike, the services that could take a hit. And an suv ends up in the river after an east bay sideshow. We hear from fed up neighbors. Good afternoon. Im elizabet cook. It was the first day of school for thousands of student in oakland unified. Lets get right to anne makovec with how people in the district are feeling to start the school year. This is all in the wake o that teacher strike in the spring, anne. Yeah. Certainly a chaotic en to last school year, but like Many School Districts around th country, oakland unified is still facing budget deficits an staffing shortages, but there i a lot of optimism in the bay areas second largest district. Roughly 34,000 Students Attend School in oakland and we talked to a bunch of parents at school like hoover elementary and Claremont Middle School and the said as much as their kids love summer break, they could not wait to see their friends again the teachers are returning with a more than 15 Salary Increase that strike in may lasted seven school days before the district and teachers reached a deal. In addition to the Salary Increases, that deal includes added support staff and a handful of socalled common goo proposals, things like housing and transportation aid for homeless and housing insecure students. People we spoke with today from the superintendent t parents said theyre glad now everyone can move forward. The kids really missed their teachers. It was really frustrating for them towards th end of the year tonight be able to continue, but its important the teachers get what they need because the students cant lear if the teachers arent taken care of. Districts like san jose and mount diablo start classes late this week and others are starting later next week. In san jose two unions representing 4,500 city workers voted to authorize a threeday strike from next tuesday throug thursday. Jocelyn moran breaks it down and what theyre asking for. Striking is a last resort. Our hope is that City Council Members and mayor mahan will finally listen to us and addres the understaffing crisis impacting libraries, the airport, affordable housing, urgency response times and more if they dont, we are ready for strike for our services. Reporter city workers say theyre understaffed and are asking for better pay. The workers contract with the city expired june 30th and weve worked without one since. Workers are asking for a pay increase of 7 for the 2023 24 fiscal year. The city responded with a counteroffer of a 5 raise. Today Union Members said 99 of Union Members who voted whether to strike or not voted in favor of it. City workers said its hard to live here in san jose with the high costs, including housing. Weve been on this ride to the point where we cant continue to support ourselves and our community with the resources that weve got and weve been in there sticking it out with the city this long and weve just reached the point where we cant do that anymore. Reporter mayor matt mahan says he understands the high costs of living, but he says going beyond the 5 raise would require painful tradeoffs like reducing library hours, hiring fewer police officers, and paving fewer miles of road. Im not willing to cut Core Services to make unsustainable increases. Reporter mahan also says theres no doubt that a large scale strike will have an impac on services for residents. He says he thinks the right answer is to go back to mediation. These bargaining units that have held out really didnt tak mediation seriously unfortunately. We had one meeting and they walked out without offering any significan movement or creative ideas. Iv suggested, for example, that in years two and three if the revenue is higher than we project, we should automaticall give a higher rise. Reporter these unions represent around 4,500 workers with code enforcement, emergenc dispatch, airport staff and engineers. We will learn more a to how other cities in the city of san jose will be affected, but again this threesomeday strike was authorized for augus 15th through the 17th. Other stories we are following around the bay, firefighters were on the roof o this home in walnut creek as black smoke poured out. A fire damaged part of the house and garage on howard court. Crews had it under control within about a half hour. Luckily no one was hurt. In San Jose Police say they still dont know who murdered a 6yearold boy and his great grandmother. We first brought you this horrific story on friday. Police say they went to an apartment on parkmoor avenue for a welfare check and thats when someone called because the said they were worried a crime may have happened. Officers found the two victims stabbed t death. Its not just traumatic to our officers that are going through the investigation, but also traumatic to the community as a whole. Police said today they still dont have a suspect and theyr looking into a possible motive. Theyre asking anyone who may have been in the area on friday morning or has a camera to send in that video even if you dont think it has any specific evidence. Wild scenes out of antioch this weekend as a sideshow ends with crashes, injuries, and an suv in the river. This all happened in the antioch marina parking lot just blocks from th citys Police Department. Neighbors and Business Owners tell our da lin they have had enough. Reporter a car submerged i the san joaquin river, part of the sideshow. Well come back t this shortly. Officers responde to multiple crashes involving cars leaving the sideshow and fleeing from antioch police. Not surprised, not surprised but sad. Reporter Business Owner kathy bunton says sideshows happen at the antioch marina parking lot almost every weekend. The latest happened sunday around 3 00 in the morning. Its frustrating, hopeless i a lot of aspects because we dont know what we can do. Wev gone to our leaders. Weve gone to and nothing gets done. Reporter investigators say this white car plowed into this black car at a high speed. The white car also sheared off a fire hydrant. The female driver in the black car was transporte to the hospital. Police say the driver of the white car was arrested after being treated. They believe he was one of at least 50 cars spinning donuts i the parking lot. Officers say this suv also took part before it crashed into a water main in front of the Harbormasters Office causing water to shoot into the air. The suv also struck a large concrete garbage can. The driver ran away. Polic also found a suburban in the river at the end of a dock. The believe someone drove it into the river after the sideshow, unclear if it was stolen, workers towing the suv out, no body inside. Somethings got to be done because its like businesses like mine and smiths landing, they just cant go on like that people dont feel comfortable coming down. Feel sorry for smiths landing. Its a nice restaurant but, you know, things like this will make us not want to come down here anymore. Reporter they say drivers and spectators dont care. The Police Department is a block away. This is almost a badge of honor for people to be able to do this directly in front of th Police Department. Reporter the city recently added these speed bumps in the parking lot but not very effective. Councilman Mike Barbanica is talking to city staff about adding other rubber barriers to prevent sideshows. Hes also asking the city to request help from the chp and the Contra Costa County sheriffs department. They don have enough patrol officers. If you look at a sevenbeat system with 31 officers assigne to patrol for a 24 7 operation, the math does not add up. Reporter kathy hopes help comes soon. Maybe getting a gate like at the Richmond Marina where you have to pay to get in. Theres already a law that fines drivers involved in sideshows like that one and impounds their cars. Now antioc is looking at a City Ordinance that would site spectators. Still ahead, a roadblock to one of the tools that firefighters use to cut down on wildfires and the effort to get past it. Plus how the 49ers are feeling about their Upcoming Trip to vegas and seeing a very familiar face. Temperatures feel a little bit nevadaish for inland parts of the bay area this afternoon, well into the 90s, especially i the trivalley and three men were killed after two helicopters involved in firefighting efforts collided midair in riverside county. It happened just before 6 00 last night in cabazon. Three men on board one of the helicopters died. The other helicopter landed safely. The two people o board that helicopter were not injured. Investigators are stil trying to determine what caused this crash. As we head toward what is typically peak fire season, prescribed burns are one way to cut down on wildfires or at least limit the fuel available for them to burn, but those efforts are facing a major roadblock. As you can tell, these woods had a small amount of logging within them. Reporter Jared Childress is one of just a handful of burn bosses in california who is certified to lead prescribed burns. What we need to be doing in california to help alleviate with these wildfire problems is burning at a massive scale, you know, the million plus acre range, which were nowhere clos to. Reporter jareds team work with land owners to safely clea outfields and forests by using what they call good fire. Slowly work the fire downhil against the direction that the fire wants to go so that that dead downed wood will slowly burn up. Reporter jared says prescribed burns are one of the most effective ways to prevent catastrophic wildfires because they get rid of all the flammable debris like leaves an dead wood lining the forest floor. The state wants to significantly increase the number of burns per year, but one obstacle has been standing in their way. Its just been impossible to get private insurance on the insurance market. Reporter linya Quinn Davidson is the director of the fire network for university of california agriculture and natural resources. She says private insurers have refused t offer Liability Insurance to burn bosses because they believ the practice is too risky, but she disagrees with that assessment. Thats why she worked with state senator bill dodd to create a statebacked prescribed Fire Claims Fund pilot program. So in a way this becomes a huge like deductible. Its a 2. 5 million maximum claim if a fire got away and did some damage. Reporter a total of 20 million is available through th fund and while senator dodd knows that is not enough, he hopes it will help to show private insurers the risk associated with prescribed burn is low. The more that we can put in it down the line, the better of were going to be because i think Insurance Companies will see the value of that and come back in the market. Reporter jared agrees. He already has plans to submit multiple projects to the fund and hopes to see it continue to expand. So were hoping this is just the start and whether that then becomes a statebacked insuranc plan, essentially the same thing, just bigger, is a question or whether it then becomes this plan plus private industry that we would say be buying into is a whole other question. Reporter either way, jared says the Industry Needs to grow if it really wants to make a bi impact on preventing wildfires. We are less than one week away from the 49ers preseason opener against the raiders and they will see a familiar face i vegas. Vern glenn explains. This is the volkswagen red and gold report. Reporter this week the 49ers will head to las vegas fo joint practices with the raider thursday and friday before next sundays preseason opener in vegas at 1 00 p. M. On cbs news bay area.

Its going to be a great game. We really lucked out here i the bay area with some great weather. Its been warm, no question, but when its beautiful in the city and its clear and you got to thank you lucky stars you live here. Enjoy it while it lasts because the fogust weather is coming back tonight and tomorrow. We knew it would. Inland that means temperatures are back to a little below average. Cooler weather begins to kick in tomorrow. Well see a return of the fog and also patches of mis and drizzle, especially along the coast. There are signs mayb farther down the line moisture will sneak towards us from the south, subtropical moisture, no all the way from the tropics bu close. We can track that on futurecast. It shows up in the brighter colors. You can see it converging from a couple different directions, some of that moisture headed our way. W have to watch this this time of year because any amount of moisture that increases through the depth of the atmosphere can lead to the spread of popup thunderstorms, maybe a dry lightning threat. Does not like look like the case this time around. Several consecutive day of below average temperatures inland for the trivalley, livermore 88, below that throug friday, back up to near normal friday and an at least fiveday stretch of above average temperatures, mid to upper 90s which isnt crazy hot but noticeable for the second half of the weekend into next week. Right now nothing but clear skies overhead, a little haze o the horizon, but no air quality issues. San francisco is 74 las hour. The onshore breeze is bac down below 70, mid70s in oakland and temperatures a mix of 80s and 90s. It looks like a pretty good evening to welcome bruce bochy back to the bay area. His Texas Rangers will take on the as, game time 6 40 temperature right around 70 degrees, coasting into the 60s through this evening. A deeper marine layer allows the fog to push farther inland and this is the pattern well see the rest of the week. The inland fog wil be more stubborn along the bay and the coast where sunshine will be in short supply this week. Temperatures tonight mostly in the 50s, some of the warmest spots around 60 degrees highs tomorrow after toasty readings, especially inland today and yesterday as well, back to a couple degrees below average, if not several below average for concord, close to 1 degrees below average tomorrow afternoon, low 60s down the coast. Around 80 in san jose. Youre one of the spots closest to what is normal for early august. In the trivalley a mix of upper 70s and 80s, mid60s i San Francisco with mid to uppe 60s for oakland in the east bay there is the effect of that stronger onshore flow, 70s for the north bay until you go farther north, mendocino and lake county reaching up to around 90 degrees. A copy and paste forecast through the workweek and we warm up heading into the weekend, not dramatic, but it will be noticeable, especially sunday and monday, while inland temperatures retur to the mid to upper 80s early next week and some of the hotte spots well into the 90s beginning sunday farther inland in the least bay, but along the coast youll have it to wait a few more days to see some additional sunshine. All right, paul. We knew it couldnt last for long. Thank you. A barbershop in San Francisco was handing out free haircuts today during their backtoschool giveback event. The Academy School of barbering on geneva avenue offered free haircuts for students entering kindergarten through eighth grade. Where our business is i feel this community is very underserved and we want to make sure the kids get haircuts before they go back to school. Not a lot of parents can afford it. Were trying to give back t the community. The event resumes tomorrow from noon to 4 00. No need for an appointment. Haircuts are first come, first served.
