In the interim, they must each travel to the post office to pick up their mail. So we reached out to the post office again. The Postal Service quickly fixed nose mailboxes.

They are protected both federally and by the state of california. Killing a sea otter is a crime punishable by both fines and jail time. A 10,000 reward is also being offered for anyone with information leading to an arrest. Happening today, keeping your family safe if you live in san jose. The city council is expected to vote on a plan aimed at putting more Police Officers on patrol. Today in the bays kris sanchez is live in san jose this morning. Kris, the situation is being called now a state of emergency. Reporter right. It sounds dramatic, laura, but this is essentially would allow the police chief to work around some of the terms of the contract between the san jose pl Police Officers union and the city of san jose. Take a look at why this is necessary. The sjpd has 176 fewer Police Officers than it did just five years ago. These numbers from the city manager. Because of that San Jose Police officers are already working mandatory over time. The average is about extra five hours. Some officers have taken to sleeping in rvs on City Property because they say the turn around isnt long enough for them to get back home. Look at the message sent to sjpd officers on saturday. Swing shift is shorten officers. By the way, the day shift was 11 officers and four sergeants short as well. So this state of emergency would allow the chief to shift 47 officers to patrol, all together without asking for volunteers. It would bypass bidding to ask them to choose other than patrol. The department would still be understaffed. Were going to do everything we can to move regulatory obstacles or any other obstacle to enable him to do what he needs to do to keep the community safe. But we all know this is just a bandaid. And unless we get measure f approved in november by the voters, all well have is bandaid solutions. Reporter that measure would essentially undo almost all of the pension reform that voters approved years ago and which mayor samly card do supported as a city council member. Puts in place protections or officers injured on the job and thats something that the police chief and the Police Officers union has said will be critical if the department is going to recruit and retain the officers that it already has. Of course, thats the solution in the long term. The short term could come today in the form of a state of emergency. In san jose, kris sanchez, today in the bay. Kris, thank you very much. Happening today, suspected vietnamese gang members arrested in gang of thrones by the san jose Police Department are expected in court later today. San jose policer rested 23 people earlier this monday. They will be in court today for a plea hearing. Police also found dozens of Gaming Machines during that sweep. An jose Police Officer Derrick Antonio was arrested. Hes awe kused of giving the gang confidential police information. Former gilroy teacher accuse of luring teenage boys into sending him explicit teachers is expected in court for a plea hearing today. Douglas lay will appear in San Jose Court charge with 20 sex crimes against nine boys. He allegedly posed as a girl online, tricking the boys into sending him nude pictures and videos.

Not exactly looking into a crystal ball but we are expecting to get a glimpse of Santa Clara County fair grounds future today. Several developers are going to be presenting their concepts for the fair grounds tonight. The meeting at fiesta hall is at 6 30 and its open to the public. The county is looking to redevelop 150 acres of the fa grounds into a, quote, vibrant regional community. Also today the carousel sign at the Cambrian Park plaza could take a big step forward in becoming an official landmark. Something many locals consider an institution. The supervisors is going to consider that during their meeting later this morning. That plaza was built in 1953. New owners say they wont tear down the famous south bay sign as they continue to redevelop that plaza. Its a classic there in the south bay. Classic, too, a he jind tear comedic talent has died.

One of your major routes over toward the peninsula from the east bay. We see all that traffic off of 580 and we have this problem. Still that crash southbound 880 right around wynton. At least your right lane is blocked. Perhaps two crews reason still on scene. Youre jammed up from marino boulevard to the san mateo bridge. Across 92. Some folks who might go to the dumbarton bridge bridge take that because theyre trying to get out of any other backup. If you just stick it out past the interchange you should be okay now. Traffic is starting to move down towards fremont. Bay bridge toll plaza. The metering lights are on. No drama out of the maze or for the east shore freeway. Back to you. Thanks so much, mike. Take a little extra care when youre driving through the Golden Gate Bridge toll plaza. Live look. You know it turns out drivers are crashing into the toll plaza more than ever before. According to bridge officials that one possible solution is to remove the toll plaza all together. The bridge is already cashless and officials are considering a simple metal structure above the lanes are fastrak sensors. Kind of part of the whole look of the bridge. It sounds like we need new rules about how to get in and out of the plaza. Maybe something called paying attenti attention. That helps. New drone zone.

Just a few hours ago the European Union announced apple would have to pay back more than 14 billion in back taxes to ireland. The eks u says ireland has been intentionally undercharging apple. Apples tim cook points out this morning its been following all the rules in a written statement he said, over the years weve received guidance from irish tax authorities on how to comply correctly with irish tax law. In ireland and every country where we operate, he says, apple follows the law and we pay all the taxes we owe. Thats true. The question was ireland asking enough. The bottom line here is, this is a ruling really against ireland but apple is going to have to pay the money. Both apple and ireland are appealing. The markets not moving very much. Thats omnicell in Mountain View writtening the opening bell on the nasdaq. Apple stock is down but only barely. The Scientific Community talking about a radio signal this morning discovered by russian scientists coming from 100 light years away. The big question is is it intelligent life . Space is full of naturally occurring radio waves so probably not. But sed nirks Mountain View is looking into it. Astronomer says the signal is probably too powerful to be anything but natural.

Gorgeous views outside right now with the connection extending back to hawaii as we show you the latest on two hurricanes near the hawaiian islands. Hurricane madeline, we will watch closely crossing the southern half of the big island as category one storm. But for us right now in the bay area its the high level clouds streaming away from that system getting pulled into a smaller feature here which is crossing the coast and dropping perhaps a few showers around lake county. The big concern this morning was dry lightning strikes, meaning thunderstorms with rain evaporating before they hit the ground. Not seeing that. No lightning detected with that particular cell there. The rest of the bay area dry start to the morp wgs those high level clouds. Patchy low clouds on the coast. And then well see another surge of high clouds coming in towards 10 00 tonight. So nothing really of consequence for the bay area other than the gorgeous sun rises. Lake county northward still the slight chance of isolated thunder shower.
