Wednesday morning. Good morning. Its cold enough. We had temperatures below freezing. A few showers past the north bay. We could have a few snowflakes closer to sea level. Well have to keep an eye on that. Right now, were just tracking some clouds. Partly cloudy skies. San francisco, 416789 so either now we have fair skies. A sun cloud mix for later on today. More sunshine as we wrap up the year for tomorrow. And more clouds on sunday. 572 degrees by lunchtime. And more clouds. There is a chance we could have a sprinkle or light shower throughout the day. So here is the plan. Partly cloudy skies. Bundle up u. 28 to 42 degrees. Well increase the clouds by the afternoon hours and temperatures will be in the low to mid 50s. More on your fiveday forecast. Hes still trying major problems. Good morning to you, mark. We have a developing story out of the east bay this morning. A big crash on interstate 80 in berkeley. This is causing a huge backup right now. We have ktvus paul chambers. Hes l
Her remarks sparked outrage, cries of discrimination and calls for her to resign. Now a Bay Area School official is apologizing. Good evening im julie haener. And im frank somerville. It was a heated debate tonight over airconditioning at schools in martinez. That after a board member suggested that an Elementary School of predominantly white students needed air conditioning more than a school of latino students. New developments now from ktvus Heather Holmes whos in martinez where that board member made a public apology but the question is, is that enough. Reporter feeling the heat, that board member tearfully apologized saying she hopes people will look at her 20 some years of history instead of some poorly chosen words. Two Elementary Schools dont have airconditioning, and when temperatures rise classrooms can become uncomfortable. It is hot. It is stuffy. The air does not circulate. Reporter participants and teachers have noticed the conditions and petitioned the board to use bond
Out with nonprofits. A case manager and the fully loaded case working for the city is 140,000 a year and the fully cost at well paying nonprofit is only about 80,000 a year. Multiply that by the number of case managers that youre paying for and i think its a significant amount of money that the sector is paying the Nonprofit Sector is saving the government, but this shouldnt be done on the backs of workers. I think its great we can save money and provide Excellent Services but should do so in a way that is fair. Were under a lot of pressure in the Nonprofit Sector. Some of you may know due to changes in the Health Care Reform in january organizations that are between 50 and 100 employees are looking at double digit increases in insurance and we cant increase wages with this and philanthropy isnt the answer and not to back fill government contracts and it helps the mission and be innovative and grow and be better. We look to you to solve this problem and i appreciate your time and inter
Not address it in this budget year and the next budget year and i will say that the nonprofit workers every year are doing amazing work with less and less money in their pockets and less money in the agency. I talked to nonprofit workers. I never heard them say the requirements who we serve is going down because we didnt get an increase. The requirements stay the same and go down for the requirements and we need to provide those services. Thank you. I will call some more names. [calling speaker names] mr. O saki. Good afternoon supervisors. Im here as cochair of the api council as well as a member of the Human Service network. I am very pleased to be having this conversation not just about a conone time fixz but a solution to the cost that nonprofits have beening. Supervisor mar summarized this issue succinctly and if the city values and wants these services we have to be willing to pay for what they cost. Now the api council submitted to the mayor a cost of doing business proposal for
Knowing if theyre getting a raise. Nonprofits not knowing if they have funding to deal with increases in health care and rent and other things. Its a very chaotic situation and its one i think we can all agree that we shouldnt repeat and at the supplemental hearing that we had a couple of months ago i think i heard unanimous support for seriously addressing this permanent fix and its to see were having a hearing now and moving towards that. One thing there are a lot of nuisances and complications with this, but one thing that we cant do is neglect nonprofit workers while we address this longterm fix. I do think that we may need to study and put together a working group to look into this in a more detailed way how we do something permanently but we need to establish a cost of living increase bridge that we can walk across while we get to this permanent fix that we will be discussing. Nonprofit workers if were going to hear acknowledge this situation is real and going on we can acknowled
