Im sam brock. Rain is mooching through. Even parts of the north bay getting light spotty rain. A live look, mostly cloudy. Dont forget the umbrella before you head out. Were seeing the bulk of the moisture. Once again, the stronger storm system farther to the north of us. That will be rolling into the bay area as that system moves to the south. Now mike is tracking it. Right. Kari, we had a disabled vehicle. Look at that south bay peninsula. Light rain. Were looking at a smooth drive. Including the backup at the toll plaza and as we take a live look out there, also a bridge crew had to change the shift. Theyre going send someone out to check the span. I see. I see the red lights without much of a slowdown. Well check this. Very critical. Video of several warehouses that were on fire. You can see the fire. It broke out. You can see it on your map there. No injuries have been reported. Fires contained. But the fire crews right now are closely watching out for hot spots. A push to keep the raider in oakland is getting a big push forward. Also alameda officials officially approving a lastminute plan to build a new stadium in oakland. Kris sanchez live in the newsroom on what this could mean for the future of the team, and, kris, what nfl officials plan to talk about during the meeting today. This is actually a plan to come up with a plan, so lots of back and forth. Today theyre meeting in dallas. Youd Better Believe theyre going to talk about keep playing ball with ronnie lott. It was just as tense as Community Members watched the Council Members vote to continue working toward a new stadium deal. The board of supervisors also voted in favor of that yesterday. Were talking about a 1. 3 billion stadium where the coliseum stands now. Mostly investor money put together by former niners star and raiders star ronnie lott, but it also includes money in city money, no county money. Las vegas. Las vegas is promising 750 million toward the same priced stadium there. As Council Member Rhonda Kaplan explained, there is no deal but its about keeping it alive. Theyre in negotiations for a potential deal which would still have to come back to us to approve. I feel departmenconfident, bl is our ticket. That super bowl is hopefully going to happen in january. Ronnie lott mentioned january. Thats when theyll determine whether they stay in oakland or go to. Referee . Mark davis already has his sights set on sin city. Now, three city Council Members an county leaders either abstained or voted no saying this Community Needs to spend public money on vital services, not a football stadium. We use a lot of sports analogies in reporting this story, a lot of back and forth. But i want to put it to you a little differencely. The votes amount to a promise ring. Nobodys getting married just yet. They promise to be exclusive. This ire going steady. No wedding bells just yet. Sam and laura . Who does mark dash want to mar marry . A controversial memorial has been approved in San Francisco. That was the scene last night by a vote of 91. They approved placing a memorial where police shot and killed him back in 2014 after nieto pointed what looked like a gun at officers. It turned out to be a stun gun shaped like a pistol. They found the officers not guilty of using excessive force. Supporters say it will be a place of healing. Others feel its an insult to law enforcement. We dont recognize the officers injure and killed in the line of duty protecting our residents. This announces something happen going forward. The community right now can just begin to start healing. The San Francisco Police Officers association issued a statement about the vote last night saying the city should honor, quote, real heroes. Now to our continuing coverage on the deadly oakland warehouse fire. Theres now confirmation on a problem we reported last week. The ghost ship was never inspected. They say there was never a trigger to investigate. However, neighbors tell us the police and Fire Department were well aware of the illegal living conditions. Also the atf is still looking for the exact cause of the deadly fire. Happening today, the theater in oakland is opening its doors to raise funds for the ghost ship fire. It will be open tonight. Some of the performers include dan dieken, road rag, and geoffer. 100 of the proceeds go to the gray area Fire Relief Fund and we checked this morning and about 700,000 has been raised so far. Pretty amazing. At 6 07, a man is behind bars after driving his truck through a sports bar. He was locked up after a witness reported seeing this happen. Because the ground there was saturated, the tires tore through huge ruts in the grass chewing several inches into the soil of that very popular soccer and baseball park. The damage was so extensive that parts of the park were closed down. The witness called police at about 1 00 in the morning yesterday. When the Police Arrived they say the truck was going around in circles but the driver quickly turned off the headlights and tried to dodge police before ultimately surrendering. The city of pleasanton doesnt know the cost of repairing that field but it seems restitution. Heres good news. Theres a grocery bag give away going on in San Francisco. Glad church will be handing out thousands. Theyll be passing out the bags from 7 30 until 12 30 or until they run out. Lines start forming hours before the event.

More than 100 people showed up to give condolences and support to the family. He was shot seven times on monday after he didnt listen to officers when they told him to stop approaching him. Investigators admit he was not armed. The mans family and many who attended the vigil say they still have a lot of questions about what led up to the deadly shooting. Today is a tragic one in our countrys history. Were going to remember sandy hook on the fourth anniversary of that massacre.

Twilter is not bag company but its insflu enchal. As we all know they use it all the time. As we understand, jack dorsey was not on the list. The fed concludes its twoday Interest Rate meeting. We expect theyll raise rates. Thats fairly unusual because it will only be the second time in ten years. The real question is will donald trump react to it . President s generally dont react to fed changes. Its supposed to be an independent entity free of president ial pressure. Question one, sam and laura, will trump react.
