San francisco sheriff ordering mandatory overtime for her 840 deputies because of a staffing shortage. The order came in a memo last week and some of the deputies are angry about it. We sat down with the sheriff to talk about the decision and uncover documents showing one deputy who made almost 300,000 in overtime last year. Reporter San Francisco is 840 sheriffs deputies work protests, handle security for several call for city called. Mainly, they oversee the four jails. In recent years, the jail population has declined to the tune of 1000 beds. So why is the sheriff mandating overtime for her employees . Its a problem where we havent caught up. With no hiring done during the former sheriffs term, there was 91 spots to fill when she took office last year. She is implementing fair share overtime. That means spreading the pain across the board and getting people to work at least 18 hour shift. Its a plan that doesnt sit well with some deputies already doing it extra 12 to 16 hours per pay period. That 60 hours of overtime plus you want to take away one of their days off in order to fulfill that. Our concern is if its an officer safety issue. They also have family and children. When are they supposed to be with them customer. Right now there are 94 vacancies. Half of those killed by people going through the academy right now but with people retiring and leaving the apartment, they simply cant fill them fast enough. At full staff, the department has 915 deputies. We understand that we do have a staffing issue but weve had it for quite a while. According to the transparent california website, three deputies made enormous amounts of overtime last year. All have an annual base pay of roughly 1,002,000. All made more than 189,000 a year in just overtime. The highest amount, antonio santiago who pulled in nearly 270,000 in overtime alone. It seems like a lot. Now, these people are choosing to work this. Frankly, they are being held accountable. Santiago was most likely working every day, often 16 hour shifts. Last year he surpassed the 1500 hours overtime threshold. The Union Defense santiago. Its different when deputies can set up their own overtime and prepare for it and plan for it then when all of the fun you are being told you have to work and you are not prepared. She will continue to work with the Mayors Office and Deputies Union to iron out a solution but doesnt foresee adequate Staffing Levels at least for two years. Scientists are warning that hundreds of miles of celtic forest under the california coast is vanishing from San Francisco all the way to the canadian border.

There are a lot of cars here on 205 and 580. Pretty slow already, and you can tell by the road sensors. We dont have any problems between livermore and dublin, which yesterday we had because of various crashes. This looks good once you get to livermore all the way out to hayward. Again, we do have the slow traffic on the past. This is 280 in san jose. Its off to a nice start. A little damp there. I can tell by looking at the headlights reflecting off the pavement.

So for the morning and early afternoon, looking for mostly cloudy skies. Some clouds later this afternoon. A little breeze will kick him, but it will be nice. It should help kind of scour things out a little bit. The band of rain is pushing off toward the valley. We are almost on the backside of that. There could be a few light showers coming through. You see the dip in the jetstream. That has to move through today. Starting tomorrow, High Pressure will knows in a little bit. Light rain possible this morning and it gives the system credit. Its held together. There is some okay amounts. Even up north. The mere fact that it arrived intact and made it is impressive. Westerly breeze or west southwest but not nearly as crazy as yesterday. 50s on the temps or very low 60s on the peninsula. 60s and pacifica. Some areas of fog and low cloud. Woodside 53, upper 50s. 54 warm degrees up in truckee. 50s in monterey. In the sierra, thunderstorms. The system will move in giving them light rain earlier this morning as well.

Tomorrow we start with mostly sunny skies. There will probably be some fog but it will be warmer. Friday into saturday, looks like a cooler pattern. Still some graduations in the next few weeks. Its probably better. I think most of them are during the week. Hopefully, cooler weather is nice for that. It will be warmer friday if youre inland. Thank you. I will check in with you about next week. 4 50 is the time. Its an adorable video getting a lot of attention. A Southern California Police Officer playfully giving a warning to a threeyearold girl driving her barbie jeep. You can see the officer asking the little girl, let me see your license and registration. Shes trying to make a run for it. No license, no registration. What are we going to do about this . He actually may have scared her just a little bit. You see her kind of taking off in her little pink barbie jeep. But it did have a happy ending. Officer let her go with a warning. And gave her a little batch sticker, too. She probably doesnt have a seatbelt either. I know my daughters barbie jeep did not. There she is, no seatbelt. Thats cute. Very cute. 4 51 is the time right now. Preparing the Golden Gate Bridge for an earthquake or other seismic activity. The decades long project entering its final phase. The Golden Gate Bridge is in the final phase of a retrofitting project to make it safer during a big earthquake or high winds. We explain the work that will begin next year will extend the lifespan of the bridge. Its also expected to save lives as well. The final phase of this multidecade retrofit program is the section just above my head between the two towers. Chosen to be last because it is more flexible and more earthquake resistant than any part of the bridge. It will strengthen the bridge into a socalled lifeline structure that can and will remain in operation. That means basically custom designed and tested shock absorbers that will cause it to shake a lot less. Even one as big as this 1906 earthquake computer simulation. But that can only happen once the work platforms are designed and tested to withstand wins seen every 10,000 years. Thats more than 100 miles per hour. That can only be accomplished by building an eightfoot mini suspension structure inside a wind tunnel to test platform designed to guarantee the safety of the workers and the integrity of the bridge. No one wants a repeat of the tacoma narrows bridge that ultimately collapsed under high winds. We expects construction to be complete in 2024. This began after the 1989 quake. The Golden Gate Bridge, which was not damaged by that quick, nonetheless, cause the bridge district to create a multiphase project to prevent collapse in the next big event. We started with the most vulnerable sections of the bridge. Phase i completed in 2001 retrofitted or replaced the entire structure on the marin county side. Phase 2 completed in 2008 did the same for the San Francisco side. Phase 3 completed in 2013 made sure that the bridge, even in a major quake, which might damage it, will not collapse it. So if someone is driving across the bridge and a major earthquake happens now, they wont die. There wont be any fatalities. While all this is going on, the bridge will at the suicide barrier net which was also wind and computer tested. The suicide barrier will be done in 2021. Ktvu, fox 2 news.
