that i take a plea and that is what i agreed to this morning. >> reporter: mirkarimi and the prosecutor agreed to drop the previous domestic abuse charges, then the d.a. added a new charge of false imprisonment to which mirkarimi agreed to plead guilty. he also agreed to a punishment of three years' probation, one year of counseling, he has to take parenting classes, and he has to pay a $590 fine. he is still not allowed to see his family until a judge decides otherwise. >> i haven't spoken to my wife in nearly eight weeks. it's been completely torturous. i have been able to see my son for two hours a day. i want to reunite with my family. and i -- i -- i so look forward to that process and look forward to continuing on with the great work of the department itself. >> reporter: his wife has said the sheriff did not abuse her despite the bruise on her arm

and a tearful diatribe on video where she blamed her husband. nevertheless, through her attorney, she said she is satisfied with today's plea agreement. >> my client's position is he is a great politician. he's a great sheriff. and also, the sole source of income for her right now. so she was -- was hopeful that they could work a deal out that would do this that wouldn't result in any more personal carnage to any of the many, many, many people that have been affected by this. >> reporter: mirkarimi is scheduled to be formally sentenced next monday march 19. after that he says, he plans to continue in his elected position. you will remain sheriff, you have made that clear? >> yes. i mean, that's my intention, absolutely. the department's been going strong. the plea that i shall take on the charge doesn't inhibit me legally, constitutionally, from being sheriff.

>> reporter: still, mayor ed lee is trying to figure out whether to begin an effort to boot mirkarimi out of office. he says the charge of false imprisonment now makes his decision difficult. >> i have to be very careful about this. but, you know, amongst the earlier charges, you can kind of separate in the past the issues of domestic violence as well as the function of the officer was kind of a little separation. in this case i'm not sure about the separation. >> reporter: formal sentencing is next monday. and then the ball is in the mayor's court. at that point, the mayor has several options. he could do nothing at all. he could suspend the sheriff. he could call for an ethics commission investigation which then, dana, could ultimately result in the entire board of supervisors voting on whether to oust the sheriff. >> the mayor is setting himself up at this point it looks to me that he is conflicted on which way to go. do you think that he will push this forward and try to move the sheriff out? >> reporter: it's not clear. he's not telling us. but, you know, there could be something else going on in the background.

he may be, you know, having talks with the sheriff and just saying, look you don't want this ethics commission investigation because dana, there are no rules in that investigation as i understand it. they do bring all this stuff back up again, the ex- girlfriend, his wife and the bruise and the whole thing and they may be telling the sheriff you don't want that just, you know, just quit. but we're not clear on whether that's the direction they are going in. >> okay. joe vazquez, thank you. it's been a dream that commuters have had for decades bart to san jose. today transit leaders cleared the final hurdle $900 million in federal funding. the berryessa extension project would build 10 miles of track and two new stations. one in milpitas, the second in northeast san jose. len ramirez on the savvy way transit leaders pushed this project through. len. >> reporter: that's right, allen. when voters passed the bart-to- san jose tax measures the grand plan was to have underground bart stations all the way up and downed east santa clara street and alum rock avenue such as we have in san francisco on market street.

but the funding for that wasn't coming through and so backers of this plan had to regroup come up with another plan and that's what we have today. bart-to-san jose has a foot in the door now and that's reason enough to celebrate. a few strokes of the pen... >> yeah! [ applause ] >> reporter: -- a popping of the cork. and finally, a solid answer to the bay area's long-running question: when will bart come to san jose? >> segment 1, ten miles from fremont to milpitas and berryessa and san jose will be done by 2016. >> reporter: just four years from now, but decades in the making and for many commuters, way overdue. >> i just want to be able to make it to work. i'm tired of driving to san jose all the way to fremont in order to be able to make it to work. it doesn't make sense. >> reporter: it took that long to secure the project's $3.2 billion. today's gathering at san jose city hall was to celebrate the last big piece snapping into place a $900 million grant from

the federal transit administration. >> these are big infrastructure projects that are going to be good for 100 years so the fact that it's taken us 10 or 20 years to get here shouldn't be a surprise. >> reporter: but bart to san jose almost came off its own rails despite two tax measures that voters passed on themselves in 2000 and 2008. the project had to be slice need pieces when the fta said no to funding the full extension into downtown san jose. >> instead of looking at the entire project, we chunked it out in small chunks so we go from warm springs to berryessa and just worry about that segment records the rest of the way into downtown six miles and another $3 billion remains uncertain. >> it will be tough. it was tough to get this far. >> reporter: groundbreaking for the first extension, the 10 miles from fremont to berryessa in san jose, will happen sometime next month. it will be under construction for about four years with test trains running by late 2016.

and commuters and people riding bart by 2017. reporting live in san jose, len ramirez, cbs 5. well, the state isn't making as much money as governor brown hoped. new numbers show february revenues fell about $146 million short of what he had budgeted for. >> well, we try to make the best judgment we can. but we live in a global economy in the american economy. it's not like counting peas in a pod. we do our best and if we have more, we probably spend t if we have less, we cut. just that simple. >> despite the shortfall, the state controller is confident california won't have any problems paying its bills through the end of the fiscal year. it is a landmark settlement. pg&e said today that it has agreed to pay the city of san bruno $70 million for pain and suffering caused by its devastating pipeline blast. phil matier reports, now the city has to decide how to spend that money.

phil. >> reporter: that's right, dana. and that's on top of the $50 million that pg&e has pledged to rebuild this neighborhood. but the folks up here, well they have a message about spending the money as well for city hall and this is it. >> that's fine. but i think they ought to take the money and spend it in this neighborhood first. >> reporter: and have they been doing their job of taking care of this neighborhood first? >> uhm....... somewhat. >> reporter: that was san bruno blast victim carol reacting to the news today that pacific gas & electric had just agreed to give the town an extra $70 million to spend any way they like. >> i agree with carol and the rest of the folks who lost their homes. they would like to get everybody back in and, you know, take care of all the streets and everything rather than giving the money somewhere else up here. >> for 18 months i have heard the frustrations. >> reporter: city officials however say pg&e has already pledged up to $50 million for

the neighborhood alone. this extra $70 million is for the whole town to share. >> this is a bedroom community with a lot of families and a lot of them have been scarred. >> reporter: there's been talk of a new library for the town or expanding kids' programs. >> depends on what the citizens want to do with it. it could be a combination of a number of things. >> reporter: so where do the people say the money should go? >> it really first needs to focus in on what happened up there make sure those people are whole before they do anything else. >> they should help the people who lost their homes. >> reporter: audrey can'tly is one of the lucky ones in the neighborhood to survive the blast with her home pretty much intact. her suggestion? >> i'd like to see some sort of memorial put up, small, not anything too ostentacious, maybe expand the park. >> get all those people back in here. let's get this going. >> reporter: that seems to be a little more difficult than people expected. obviously, we have some red tape. we got some permits. we have questions about pg&e's liability.

we have suits working their way through the courts. so it's time that's frustrating up here as well as money. in terms of a settlement this was one for the books an unheard of $70 million to be spent by san bruno for everybody in san bruno for the blast that happened here. dana? >> phil, i'm wondering if the city of san bruno has identified the person or people who will administer this money? >> reporter: they are talking about a nonprofit, a group that's outside of city hall so that it doesn't necessarily go to city expenses. but they haven't named anybody. they are going to do that after the money winds up in the bank. >> thank you, phil matier. and new at 6:00, a bicyclist who hit and killed a pedestrian in san francisco has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. last july, randy eng ran a red light on the embarcadero and hit a tourist from washington, d.c. the 68-year-old victim was crossing mission street with her husband. now, as part of the plea deal, eng was sentenced to three

victims. and in a twist, shermantine also taunts information not even connected to the "speed freak" killings claiming to have information as to where victims of gang murders are hidden. taunting, it's so simple, i can't believe the cops have never figured it out. but the information hinged on money. no, i have received no money from leonard. in fact, i was told that was a media stunt he pulled. padilla says money for the info was sent but returned by the prison. >> we have every intention of, you know, keeping our end of the agreement. we have to. otherwise he's just not going to continue to talk to us. >> reporter: shermantine writes, i really want to believe in leonard but i have these doubts he will come through which is a shame because i have been holding the best for last. well, what is the best? padilla thinks it's simply an agreement to give up all his information. >> i would assume he is talking about, you know, he has alluded to as many as 70 bodies. >> reporter: in sacramento,

in 2014. danielle nottingham, cbs news, the white house. late last week, we told you about an effort by the veterans administration to correct mistaken grave markings at cemeteries all across america. and that includes two cemeteries here in the bay area. well, our report drew a rather mysterious email from a viewer in oakland. and tonight, we bring you this remarkable story of lost and found nearly 40 years in the making. david arbogast is dusting off an adopted family heirloom. >> my dad was a carpenter and he was working on a restaurant somewhere near the bay early '70s, '73, '74 perhaps and while he was on break one day he is looking out in the water and saw some broken-up markers, some marble and things and upon closer inspection he found one intact and i guess just got to him that it didn't belong there. so he put it in his truck and brought it home to oakland. and it's been in this yard this

front yard for 35 years. >> reporter: we did a little checking and found that for all those years, mr. gul dbo rg has been rezzing here, golden gate national cemetery in san bruno. >> this is john guldborg's gravesite, section 8, 217j. >> reporter: for starters how did the corporal end up with two headstones? >> well, when his wife died the following year, the headstone was replaced so would include her information. so a new headstone was set at that time. and the old one was then discarded. >> reporter: and why would a military headstone be discarded in the mudflats of san francisco bay? >> national cemeteries were run by the army prior to 1973. and for whatever reason, they did not appear to have a very standardized means of disposing of headstones. >> reporter: over the years, those discarded headstones have made their way to some unlikely

places. >> foundations for houses. patio decorations in backyards. >> i saw the news story it seemed like i might want to follow up and try and get it back where it belongs. >> and generally speaking whenever va becomes aware of them we attempt to reclaim them. >> reporter: so we decided to get these two gentlemen together. and after nearly 4 decades, david arbogast was able to honor the wishes of his late father and to see to it that corp john guldborg's headstone is disposed of properly. now, proper disposal means that the headstone will be broken into pieces small enough that you cannot read the engraving. now, if you or someone now has come into possession of a similar piece of military property, contact the va because they would like to take it off your hands. we have put that information on our website, cbssf.com. >> the families want to know that it's properly done, too. >> exactly. that's a great story.

[ audio ] >> that's a little editorial comment. >> that's what daylight saving dogs. >> good evening, we fired it up, it's live our high-def doppler radar. let's get to it because so far, according to our doppler sweep atop mount vaca, not a raindrop in sight. but that's going to change beginning in the overnight hours. right now we are looking out towards the increasing cloud cover at mount diablo where today's high temperature only in the upper 50s typically in the mid-60s and now, number- wise, sitting in the 50s and 60s. but it's breezy out there with those southwest winds 10 to 20 miles per hour adding to the evening chill. here you have our futurecast and you will notice as the

night wears on we'll notice increasing cloud cover and there you have it well to the north of the bay area. by the morning commute, it will be wet north of the golden gate bridge. then gradually sliding across the bridge making its way to the south. this is a very slow-moving cold front and you see these pockets of yellow here. that's an indication that that's a front and that will have some heavy rain associated with it as it slices through our metropolitan area. so over the next 24 hours, we will see up to about 1.5" of rain north bay for the most part. lesser amounts to the south. over half an inch of rain at the delta but that's only over the next 24 hours. by the weekend, we should see up to 6 full inches of rain in the northern portion of our bay area. but we're still in a deficit about 11 to 12" of rain. this is a very impressive cold front. but it's taking most of the precipitation well to the north of the bay area. but nevertheless, as it gradually begins to descend south, it's going to increase the winds. this pool of colder air mass is

that's the pinpoint forecast. eyewitness news continues. we'll be right back. ,,

to stay with the 49ers were completely false and that he was happy with the team's three- year offer. what can you tell us about negotiations and how are things going? >> you know that it's going. and i think it's a process. none of this stuff happens overnight. i think the encouraging thing is they know i want to be back. you know, i think they want me back. and it's just a matter of working out the details. so i'm excited about it. i'm not really thinking about anything else. just waiting for it to get done. >> that is great news for 49ers fans. will the fourth time be the charm after three trips to the final four? the stanford women are poised to make another run. >> the number one seed in the fresno region no surprise it is the stanford cardinal and tara vanderveer. >> whoo! >> the cardinal will face 16th seeded hanson in the opening -- hampton in the opening round
