-judge rules against ac transit... they can't impose a new contract on bus drivers..what it all means for bus riders. good morning. it's tuesday, the 3rd of august. a lot of things going on with the commute. a judge ruled that a.c. transit cannot impose the contract that it did impose on its drivers two weeks ago. we'll tell you what it means, at least what the drivers are telling us this morning. also, empty jail cells in san francisco. it's because there are 450 fewer inmates than there were last year. we have the reasons behind the decline. >> they have new police cars in mill valley. oh, yeah. that's a cannon. no, i'm kidding. it's not a cannon. but they can go 500 police officers. >> really? >> no. [ laughter ]

>> oh. >> really john? [ laughter ] >> that's so cool. we have had a couple of different things going on this morning in the traffic but a lot of little fender-benders and now we are hearing about something in sonoma county a fatal accident near sebastopol on guerneville road at laguna. a car rolled down the embankment, coroner is heading to the scene. there may be possible closures in the area. last night there was a water main break on a major road in petaluma asphalt on the road. took them a while to clear it and making repairs to the infrastructure and as well as making sure there are no sinkholes so both directions of petaluma boulevard north are completely shut down this morning between east washington street and western avenue. not sure how much longer crews will be on scene. but watch out for that. good news is the bay bridge commute actually looks good. so far no delay approaching the toll plaza. that is your traffic.

for your forecast, here's tracy. >> hey, thanks, elizabeth. a little drizzle out there low clouds, so we have a little drizzle for the coast and the bay. inland clouds in the valleys this morning temperatures ranging from the lower to the mid to the upper 50s. heading into our afternoon, temperatures will range from the lower 60s to the lower 90s, yeah. inland today especially well out in the east bay, your temperatures close to average daytime highs. for the rest of us, though, still cool. and we'll continue to be cooler than average for tomorrow and heading into thursday, friday, saturday, sunday and even monday. this previous july, this last month, the coolest july since 1971. and august will also start off a little cool, too. >> unless you're in antioch. it's always hot in antioch and brentwood. >> yes. >> thank you. back to you guys. thank you. 6:02 now. a.c. transit drivers are celebrating a court victory in their

contract dispute with management. anne makovec is in oakland, where passengers hope the ruling means more drivers will be back on the job this morning. good morning, anne. >> reporter: yeah, riders and drivers breathing a sigh of relief this morning that things are going to go back to normal. but a.c. transit says there just isn't the money there to be able to sustain it. now, the court ruling means that the interim contract that had the drivers union so upset is being thrown out for now and that the bus routes and drivers' schedules should return to normal at least temporarily starting in a week, august 10. but i say temporarily because a.c. transit says it can't afford to keep it that way. it's already $16 million in the red. so more service reductions will begin on august 29th. over 7% of existing bus routes will be affected stopping less frequently and a.c. transit may also eliminate all weekend bus service. so back to that court ruling from yesterday. the board might appeal that but they won't decide until their

next scheduled meeting august 18. >> they didn't make any decision with regard to pursuing the litigation. i have to say that i think the board is suffering at this point from litigation fatigue. >> they must take us back to status quo and wait for the neutral arbitrator to decide. >> reporter: that union rep just mentioned an arbitrator and that is where a decision on the drivers' next contract is supposed to come from. the two sides have been battling that out for three months so a neutral party should be helpful in the debate. the district says they are on the brink of bankruptcy. so riders can expect schedule changes. hopefully they will be more planned out, not the unpredictable schedule changes which we had during the sickout which the drivers union still denies was a sickout. >> thank you, anne makovec. muni operators in san francisco are getting a raise,

nearly 6% this year. the "san francisco chronicle" reporting the pay increase will cost the city more than $15 million during the current fiscal year. all other city workers are taking a pay cut something they agreed to do to help balance the city's budget. but the city charter guarantees muni drivers will make no less than the average of the two transit agencies in the nation that pay the most. negotiators for the city of san jose and its firefighters union plan to meet tomorrow afternoon. they will be discussing the union's latest proposal in hopes of getting some laid-off firefighters back to work. 49 lost their jobs last week. the union's latest offer includes a two tier retirement pay structure in which benefits would differ for newly hired employees. but the firefighters pay reduction offer remains at 5.25%. city officials have been calling for a 10% salary concession from all city workers in order to avoid heyoffs.

san jose city council is facing a long session today. it is the deadline to get measures on the november ballot. and councilmembers have several to consider. one would allow less expensive pension plans for new city workers. another would end or limit binding arbitration for police and fire unions over contract disputes. there are two proposed tax measures. one raising the city's sales tax by a quarter cent. the other would put a 10% tax on medical marijuana. palo alto city council voted to put a measure on the november ballot that would take away their own power to lay off members of fire department. lace night councilmembers said the measure robs them of their ability to manage city costs. firefighters maintain they are out to protect the public and the department has been losing important positions. voters will also decide on whether to switch city

elections from odd to even numbered years. hey recent drop in the san francisco jail population has some officials wondering why the cells are suddenly so empty. in the past four months the number of inmates in san francisco gels has dropped 21%, around 450 fewer inmates a day. some believe the drop can be traced back to the closure of the city's drug lab. >> a large number of drug cases was dropped and i believe that probably fewer drug cases are being prosecuted and processed because of a lack of an operating crime lab here. >> it's very unusual. there aren't many jails in california or any jails in california that i know of that are empty so it's a pretty unusual situation. >> not all law enforcement authorities are in agreement. they say the city has just been doing a better job on crime prevention. there are now more eyes watching for crimes in marin county. mill valley police recently rolled out some new crime

cameras. four are on police cars. i misspoke saying earlier saying the new police cars. there are new cameras on the cars. the devices automatically scan passing license plate numbers for stolen vehicles, felonies and kidnapping alerts. the officers say the cameras will save them time and free them up to watch for other problems. >> i can go ahead and look out into the roadway and not be distracted by my computer by also looking at -- for people flagging us down. >> the cameras only pull up crimes listed in the department of justice database. that does not include unpaid parking tickets or expired registrations so you're safe there. >> the lists are updated every four hours, though. 6:08. closing in on the kill. coming up next, the important test bp is running today and why it could clear the way to permanently plug the leaking oil pipeline in the gulf.

the kincaids live here. across the street, the padillas. ben and his family live here, too. ben's a re/max agent, and he's a big part of this community. there are lots of reasons why re/max agents average more sales than other agents. experience, certainly. but maybe it's also because they care about the markets they serve and the neighbors who rely on them. nobody sells more real estate than re/max.

saving money. and like baseball people love their stats. i started bringing my lunch to work -- 50 bucks a week in my pocket. here's a good one: state farm insures 40 million drivers. more than geico and progressive combined. i saved because i'm accident-free. of course, with so many ways to save

including discounts of up to 40%, having that many customers shouldn't be a surprise. so ask a neighbor about state farm, then call an agent at 1-800-state-farm or go online. good morning. an earlier accident westbound 24 at the caldecott tunnel is gone and now all of your approaches to the bay bridge still look good and no metering lights. we have a couple of problems on city streets. but we'll give you details of those coming up. >> thank you. in southeast asia a

powerful earthquake struck offer the eastern coast of indonesia. it hit in the past hour. it had a magnitude of 6.5 centered 54 miles off an island, the closest city is menado and so far there are no reports of any injuries or damage. indonesia rests on a series of fault lines that make it one of the most earthquake-prone area on earth. today bp engineers planning to do a test to help them determine whether they can plug their broken oil well. the plan is to pump the well full of heavy mud and then concrete. the static kill method is similar to top kill, which failed in june but now that the well is capped, crews won't have to try to overcome the force of gushin oil. more than 200 million gallons of oil leaked from the well before it was capped 19 days ago. the united states senate is expected to vote this week on whether to confirm supreme

court nominee elena kagan. it appears there will be enough votes for kagan. president obama's choice to replease justice john paul stevens, who is retiring. almost all senate democrats and some republicans are expected to vote in favor of the former harvard law school dean. republican critics are concerned about her lack of experience as a judge and her liberal political views. her supporters say she will help bring consensus to the high court. republican meg whitman is approaching the $100 million mark in the campaign spending now. >> the republican nominee says her campaign has shelled out $99 million, including $71 million for the june primary race. her democratic opponent on the november ballot jerry brown has spent $450,000. he had no major competition on the primary. brown does have $23 million on hand, whitman has $10.3 million. she has already put $91 million of her own money into her

campaign. and the latest poll by the public policy institute of california shows brown leading 37 to 34%. just turning 6:14. a new bus stop on display today. >> coming up next, got a sneak preview of the transbay terminal. the new transbay terminal. how could this be a sneak preview? it's already open. why it's a bare-bones operation. >> hey, good morning, john and juliette. how about a sneak peek at a little sunshine? here we go. this is our camera at mount vaca and there we are. sunrise looks good, doesn't it? we have another nice day expected. it will look good and it's going to feel good. i got your temperatures coming up. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[ chanting ] the imposed contract is being thrown out for now and that the bus routes and driver schedules should be returning to normal. but a.c. transit says it can't afford to keep it that way, it's already $16 million in the red. so more service reductions will begin on august 29. over 7% of existing bus routes will be affected stopping less frequently. a.c. transit may also eliminate all weekend bus service. so riders can expect further

disruptions. but they will get a temporary reprieve from this. >> had to wait extensively like on the 40. after 40 minutes i get out to the 57, i have to wait another extra 25, 40 minutes and many times the buses do not come. they are punishing the people. >> reporter: an arbitrator will come in to arbitrate the new contract. a neutral party should be helpful in the debate. what means a lot to a lot of folks watching this report right now is what is the morning commute going to be like? again, the drivers union says it is going to be back to normal even though they are still working on the contract that they say was causing all the problems because again, that injunction doesn't come into effect for a week. but unions saying it's going to be okay. we shall see. s across the bay muni

operators in san francisco are getting a nearly 6% raise this year. the "san francisco chronicle" reporting the pay increase will cost the city more than $15 million this during the current fiscal year. all other city workers are taking a pay cut something they agreed to do to help balance the city's budget. but the city charter guarantees muni drivers will make no less than the average of the two transit agencies in the nation that pay the most. 6:36 now. the negotiators for the city of san jose and its firefighters union plan to meet tomorrow afternoon. they will discuss the union's latest proposal in hopes of getting some laid-off firefighters back to work. 49 lost their jobs last week. the latest offer includes a two- tier retirement pay structure in which benefits would differ for newly hired employees but the firefighter pay reduction offer remains at 5.25%. city officials have been calling for a 10% salary concession from all city

workers to avoid layoffs. and the san jose city council facing a long session today. it's the deadline to get measures on the november ballot. and councilmembers have several to consider. one would allow less expensive pension plans for new city workers. another would end or limit the binding arbitration for police and fire unions during contract disputes. there are two proposed tax measures. one would raise the city's sales tax by a quarter cent. in palo alto the city council voted to put a measure on the november ballot to take away their own power to lay off members of the fire department. last night councilmembers said the measure robs them of their and the to manage city costs. firefighters maintain they are out to protect the public and the department has been losing important positions. palo alto voters will also decide in november whether to switch city elections from odd

to even number the years. there aren't as many people locked up in san francisco jails today. that has some officials wondering why the cells are suddenly so empty. in the past four months the number of inmates in san francisco jails has dropped 21%, that's around 450 fewer inmates a day. some believe the drop can be traced back to the closure of the city's drug lab. >> a large number of drum case was dropped and i -- a large number of drug cases was dropped and i believe it's because of a lack of crime lab in san francisco. >> not all law enforcement authorities are in agreement. they say the city is simply doing a better job on crime prevention. there are now more eyes watching for crimes in marin county. mill valley police recently

me. we just talked to some folks inside. they are waiting this morning to find out if in fact the regularly scheduled flight from san jose to guadalajara is a go. at this point, it's a big question mark. over the weekend one of the two regular flight was cancelled. last night a mexicana flight was cancelled. passengers are left in the lurch. ticket agents have been trying to find them seats on other airlines. but the only other flight out of san jose was packed last night. this is not just happening here in the bay area. all over california, in sacramento all 11 regular weekly flights have been dropped by mexicana. so sacramento international airport no longer has any international flights. the big question, what's going on in mexicana? a spokesman for the airline says that this is happening due to operational needs. but news reports have indicated that mexicana is facing financial tough times. they may soon file for bankruptcy. we'll see what happens this

morning. whether or not the regularly scheduled mexicana flight will take off, always a good idea to check with your airline portfolio you get here to the airport. leave in san jose, i'm matt bigler for -- live in san jose, i'm matt bigler for cbs 5. >> if you want to catch matt's later reports, he is on kcbs radio reporting from mineta. thank you, matt. >> thank you. 6:41 now. new figures are out this morning on personal income and housing sales. your moneywatch report when we come back. >> plus some cranes on the move. oh, i was expecting the animal cranes. those are a little bit bigger aren't they? we'll tell you why these engineering structures are leaving oakland and where they're headed. ,,,,,,
