Pillows, blankets and we went to help get cleaning stuff for all the guests. Tonight, at 5 04, hundreds of Hotel Employees bowed in prayer to mark the moment the quake struck. 2 2 4 of them were here on that day and still work at the hotel 25 years later.

The big question is will we actually get any measurable rain down to the south bay. If we dont, well call it a storm. Jeff rineri is there tracking that storm. The south bay area is going to see little to nothing with this storm. Its really glbeginning to brea up. Theres just not enough upper level energy. As that rainfall gets close, it hits the coastline first and its ringing out all of the measurable moisture. The only spot is the north bay, a few spotty showers near bodega bay and were still looking at a slight chance of some of this rainfall continuing to develop off of the coast looirn. Were going to have details with this coming up in about 15 min you wanteds plus. Were tracking another storm that looks stronger than this one. Ill have that again coming up. Okay. Well see you then, jeff. Tonight, the chancellor of one of the bay areas Largest Community districts is answering questions about the use of her district credit card. The issue centers on a plane ticket and crosscountry trip with her husband. Reporter jess, the chancellor has tomd ld us shes done nothing wrong, but a former board president doesnt agree. And records weve uncovered and the time line we put together serve as a foundation for a closer look. So i want to make sure you feel every opportunity. And i want to make sure you dont get a sealacious headline. Shes in charge of the San Jose Community college district. Was it a mistake to use the district card to buy plane tickets for your husband . You know, i know youre an expert at headlines. And i know where youre trying to get. And youre not going to get that headline from me. Shes defending decisions on these expense reports. A december trip in 2011 to attend a Holiday Party at the white house with president obama. And a few months later, a conference in orlando. This particular incident was a serious problem. Maria fuentez is currently on the dristricts board of trustees. She was the board chancellor when she submitted that second expense report. Should chancellor have known that she shouldnt have done this . Yes. Absolutely. Yes. Did they disappoint you as the board president . Surprise you . It was unexpected. It was unexpected. In this memo obtained by nbc bay area, president fuentez questioned the chancellors use of the districts credit card pointing out the charges were not for official district purposes. The issue here is we have a policy that prohibits any purchase that is not districtrelated with the credit card. Specifically, the policy states the procurement card is to be used exclusively for district purposes. And i wants also spelled out in the char e chancellors employment contract, saying the chancellor shall not use credit cards for personal purposes. Thats my duty and thats how i handled it. Reporter back in 20 10, independent investigators found thenchancellor rosa perez violating district policy. Recommendations followed giving trustees greater oversight and supervising the charm e chancellors budget and travel. How did you react when board president fuentez questioned your transaction . I was flabbergasted. These credit card statements show the charges, both aparent violations of district policy and the chancellors contract. I did a transaction. I used the district credit card and i immediately reimbursed the district for that cost. When you say immediately, what does that mean to you . Certain whether i before the billing arrived. But thats not what the records appear to show. Take a close look. On the second trip, chancellor purchased her husbands ticket with the district credit card on february 5th. The bill was dated february 23 223 bd e 22nd and the money order was purchased six weeks later. And on the first trip, she purchased the plane ticket on november 1 1th. The credit card bill was dated noef 22nd and the money order was, again, not purchased immediately. The date shows january 10th. My question is what happened here . It took two months to reimburse one and six weeks on the other. And i indicated it was a matter of sub missal of those records by staff. But youre passing the buck. You could have said heres the money back. It seems like youre taking no accountability here. Im telling you that im a person of integrity who has followed the rules as best as she can. Chancellor says internal reviews did not find a problem with her violating her contract and district policy. As you heard, the chancellor believes she did nothing wrong. But she did tell us that she no longer uses a district credit card for personal purchases, a move recommended by her auditors. Jess . Okay. Thank you, tony.

Weve seen some measurable rainfall in parts of the north bay tonight. Nothing major. Trace amounts to about 0. 0 3 of an inch. Other than that, it is mainly cloudy with temperatures in the 60 s.

Weve got 79 in pleasantton and some low 80 s throughout danville as well. Sunday is pretty much going to be a repeet. And for the trivalley, no 9 0 s, 0 no 100s. Weve got temperatures right around 8 0 degrees. Its looking like a moderate thing that i just heard about, continues to head more to the north. Thats not what we want.
