In santa cruz, a growing Homeless Population has pushed some to camp out on the citys marquee beach overnight. The city is now trying to do something about that by enacting a kerr view on main beach. Quis nguyen is live on the boardwalk with more on the story. The city council has passed a curfew for the beach behind me. Take a look at my photographer zooms in. You can see some of the tents that have lined up along the coastside. The policy wont take effect for another six months, but its likely to face legal challenges. Many say its the crown jewel of santa cruz. A Gathering Spot for some who are soaking up the sun. But for street performer marty, the main beach at the boardwalk is home for now. I feel more comfortable living outside. I like having more freedom in my life to go about doing the things i want to do. Marty and his girlfriend moved here two weeks ago in search of a safe police to sleep. Nearly two dozen tents have popped up near the wharf. Some say its connected to a densely populated camp that shut down in may. Its upsetting when anybody asks you to leave any spot youre comfortable in. Theres win Little Police can do to clear the tenlts, but with concerns growing over Public Health and safety problems, a new policy could change it up. Starting six months from today, the dry sand portion of main beach will be closed between midnight and one hour before sunrise. However, that section can still be used to access the wet sand area, which will remain open for 24 hours a day to comply with mandates from the California Coastal commission. Some of the homeless believe theyre being unfairly targeted. To try to say that those people who like to be here at night are something is wrong with them, theres nothing wrong with enjoying the nighttime, the moon, the stars, the sound of the ocean. Santa cruz county has long struggled to find housing for its Homeless Population, now estimated at 2200 people. These numbers make it one of the highest in the country. Circumstances, you know, are different for everybody. You know . And some people just need help. And theyre too afraid to ask for it. This community now trying to strike a balance. And we have been told that city officials have been in a meeting the entire day about this ordinance. Again, it was passed late last night. There will be some sort of Public Meeting about the ordinance in the months to come, so this is certainly going to be something that well be following. Were live in santa cruz, chris nguyen, abc 7 news. Today in oakland, the city began demolishing structures that have been deemed fire hazards. Sky 7 flew over work today. About 25 to 30 Homeless People have been living in these structures between 81st and 55th avenues. The city gave residents twoweek notice. Two organizations have been working to help the people there. Instead of evicting and demolishing, we need to support people to live safe and healthy and dignified lives in oakland. These are residents of our community and we have an obligation to their human rights. The homeless residents can stay under the tracks but they must use tents instead. One organization raised money to buy tents. In berkeley, caltrans is shutting down another homeless encampment under 80 and university avenue. According to the chronicle, the city isnt involved, and there are no plans for moving residents elsewhere. Now, as always, we want to hear your ideas about building a better bay area.

In the last ten minutes, we learned the former judge involved in the infamous brock turner Sexual Assault case is no longer a tennis coach. He was hired to coach a Junior VarsityGirls Tennis Team. Were live with new gements were hearing fro the school district. Good afternoon. Yeah, this story has been developing just in the last half hour. Its important to note that judge persky was recalled last year, but he was never charged with any crime and hes free to work wherever he wants, but many parents and students were appalled he was hired as a andy released a statement today. Effective september 11, mr. Perskys employment with the strict as the Junior Varsity girls tennis coach has ended. We believe this outcome is the best in the best interest of our students and school community. The district will begin the search for a new coach immediately, with the goal of insuring that the athletes on the Jv Tennis Team are able to have a successful season. What this is telling me is they have been listening to all of those comments. In fact, i have been talking to those girls all day today. They were appalled that he was hired. They wanted him removed, and it seems they got what they want. This is what they had to say. Really appalling that this person would be coaching the tennis team. Because like i said, i just think theres a better person for the job then why wouldnt they go with that person and have to deal with the fact that these women on the tennis team might be uncomfortable around him or the fact that its a statement of our values, as the administration that were able to overlook such an incident and still want to have this person be a part of our staff. I am extremely disappointed at the decision to hire former judge persky. As a tennis coach, hes also a mandated reporter. For any wrongdoing within the team. How can the limbrook staff, admin, and more importantly students and Parents Trust a man who blatantly disregarded the pain and trauma Chanel Miller experienced and trust him to advocate for victims in the future . Share this news and make sure that everyone at limbrook and outside of limbrook understand what it would mean for judge aaron persky to be a Girls Tennis Team coach, and were asking everybody reach out to the limbrook administration and let them know that you would not want judge persky to be coaching our young girls. To the administration at limbrook high school, i really truly hope youre listening to the thousands of students, parents, alums, and Community Members that have come forward to speak about this issue. Thenjudge aaron persky sentenced brock turner to six months in county jail saying he was worried about the impact a long sentence would have on turner who was a swimmer at stanford at the time. The woman he assaulted recently revealed her identity. This outcry to have persky removed as the tennis coach here at this School Started in a private alumni facebook page. I was talking to those women all day today. They told me they were going to start petitions and protests if this action did not happen. Since we posted the story on our facebook page, however, theres been mixed reviewed. Let me read you some of the comments counter to this. One viewer said the guy is not a danger and made a judgment based on the district attorneys recommendation. He lost his job already. Get over it. Another comment says i dont understand the anger about this. He lost his job. He made an unpalatable decision based on the d. Aflss recommendation. I will be talking to more women and following this debate as were just hearing this decision by the fremont united district to remove persky from his job as a tennis coach at this school. Chris reyes for abc 7 news. Thank you. A bill that would give wage and benefit protections to workers in the socalled gig economy is now headed to Governor Newsom, who is expected to sign it. The assembly overwhelmingly approved the bill today, and a defeat for Companies Like uber and lyft, which oppose legislation. Uber, lyft, and Similar Companies are hopeful Governor Newsom can negotiate a new proposal with unions that would create a separate set of rules for gig workers. If not, expect the companies to fight the law at the ballot box. And there are some 680 pieces of legislation eligible for a vote this week in sacramento. This, according to the l. A. Times. Here are some of the more highprofile ones. Several bills seeking to expand californias rules governor gun violence, restraining orders. Senate bill 1 would insure current federal environmental rules are enforced by the state. That is if the Trump Administration rolls them back. And another bill would cap the annual rent increases for most tenants in the state of california. The ncaas board of governors is urging Governor Newsom not to sign a bill that would allow College Athletes in california to receive money for their names, likenesses, or images. The board says the socalled fair pay to play act would give california schools an unfair recruiting advantage. And would force the ncaa to declare those schools ineligible for its events. The bill is headed back to the state senate after being unanimously approved by the state assembly on monday. If approved, it heads to the governors desk.
