That breaking news, a big fire at a homeless encalm ment in san jose while were you sleeping and we just got this video in to our newsroom. You can see the San Jose Fire Department out there dousing the flames. This is in the area of tulle road east of monterey. They reportedly got the fire extinguished in about ten minutes. In the video we do at one point see a man being taken away in handcuffs. Unclear if the person was detained in connection to the fire or for some other reason. We have heard reports there may have been another person arrested as well. Police right now are looking into it. No injuries were reported. One final goodbye.

Development for sfusd teachers last week. And in an informal poll, the teachers that were there are reaching well over 4,000 kids a year with some form of Bicycle Safety education that both encourages kids to get out and be active, but also shows them ways to do that safely.

We looked at other environmental factors which came out fairly evenly but the thing that was very striking was the difference in cost which would translate to over 100 million for ratepayers over the lifetime of this contract.

You held four hearings, two votes and after the hearings and the votes the board unanimously approve the process and said in fact recology was the qualified bidder for the contract. Supervisor mar. I just wanted to ask you to slow down a minute and on the environmental benefits of the recology contract my recollection is the reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions because of the green rail but with more miles trucking from tunnel road t
