[ inaudible ] >> reporter: councilman tom butts recorded the scene with his phone. >> i have been on the city council 18 years. i have never seen anything like this. >> reporter: he says this same group of about 2 dozen people has been disrupting city council meetings for months now but the bull horn and the singing, that's new. >> i'm getting less sleep. a lot of other people are getting less sleep. we're not getting city business done. >> reporter: there was nothing controversial on last night's agenda. and it's not clear why protestors were disrupting the meeting. some of them are from a local church. councilman corky booze says there's a reason they don't respect the mayor. >> they are dissatisfied the way the mayor treats the community of color. >> reporter: booze supports the

protestors but says accusations by other councilmembers that he paid these people to disrupt the meeting are not true. it's public knowledge that booze and the mayor don't get along. >> did i encourage them to come and do that? the answer is no. >> reporter: things got so chaotic at the meeting that police eventually had to move everyone out of the council chambers. in richmond, i'm da lin, kpix 5. >> we reached out to some of the protestors today to ask why. so far we haven't heard back. developing news out of oakland tonight where police say an elderly woman was shot and killed while she was driving this afternoon. her car then slammed into a parked car. police don't have any suspects. fern street between brookdale and fairfax is closed between the investigation. the suspect in the jewelrymart murders was back in court today to face a judge and the victim's families. kpix 5's linda yee on what they

[ screaming and crying ] >> our hearts are broken!! >> reporter: family for both victims crowd need court this afternoon. so did the family of suspect barry white. they did not comment. in his brief appearance white was assigned a public defender. white is accused of going on a rampage at the jewelrymart in a dispute over jewelry he bought.

the district attorney had described the attack in graphic detail. the public defender filed a court motion to stop prosecutors from talking about the case. >> just based on what i know, it seemed to me that this young man had a serious mental breakdown on july 12. the kind of press that we've seen has been inappropriate for pretrial comments from the district attorney's office. >> reporter: the victims' family wants the harshest punishment for the suspect. >> the killer is beyond human to --you know to create an act like this. >> what he gonna do? [ screaming and crying ] >> why he kill my niece? why? why? >> i'm very aware that there are grieving families , uhm, who lost loved ones on july the 12th. there's also a families who' son, brother and sister -- whose son, brother, sister is incarcerated charged with serious crimes. i understand this is really, really serious to a lot of people.

>> reporter: well, in response to the public defender's request that the prosecutors limit what they say, the d.a. would only say that this is a case of two brutal murders and everything he had to say was already said in court. live at the hall of justice, linda yee, kpix 5. >> barry white, jr., is due back in court next week to enter a plea. a brazen heist at one of the bay area's biggest gun stores landed three suspects behind bars. overnight, the thieves broke into reed's indoor shooting range in santa clara. they smashed a window, grabbed a stash of guns but their plan was doomed almost from the start. police were quickly on the trail of brothers jorel and marcus moreno and tina marie guzman. at one point the three were throwing guns out of the getaway car windows. they tripped a silent alarm during the break-in. >> until you need it, you pay a

lot of money for it you figure, well, you hope you never need it but if you every do you hope it works and it's the first time this has ever happened here and it worked great. >> police were able to recover all of the stolen merchandise. those suspects apparently all have criminal pasts. other bay area headlines, a close call in oakland's chinatown this afternoon when a minivan careened through a porch of a house. it smashed a gas meter causing a minor leak which is now capped. two people inside the home at the time were not hurt, but the driver suffered minor injuries. the cause of the crash is under investigation. pg&e patched up a gas leak in alamo am a third party contractor -- in alamo. a third party contractor broke a line around noon. it forced people in the area to leave. but the evacuation order has since been lifted. the golden state warriors' plans for a any every new waterfront arena -- for a new waterfront arena in san francisco hit another snag. the building which would be on piers 30 and 32 was already

going to be expensive but it turns out there was another price increase hidden just below the surface of the bay. >> the extent to which we're going to have to rebuild those piers is becoming more visible over time. originally we had hoped that would be a 60 to $70 million project. now i think it's projected at something like $120 million with still a couple of question marks that could probably take up to as high as 150 million. >> add that to a $700 million arena and another retail space and you're not talking about a -- you're now talking about a $1 billion project. it will be privately financed. it's not the cost of the arena that has people worried. it's the added traffic on an already congested embarcadero right down the street from the giants ballpark. believe it or not, the city of san francisco says it can work. >> we know it's not 100% efficient the way it is now. >> reporter: and that's without an arena. >> our greatest concern and the concern of a lot of the

residents is how to manage traffic. >> reporter: at sfmta it's peter albert's job to get the embarcadero moving. >> the arena is better than the giants. it's half the walk from bart. >> reporter: it's not just the proposed arena. there is a massive development led by the giants at mission rock. preventing a traffic meltdown will be a complicated job. but it starts with the little things. >> lombard, for instance, at the embarcadero, the green light wasn't allowing the doors get out in time and the queue was getting longer and longer in back so we found 10 more seconds, little temperatures like that completely un-- little touches like that completely unblocked four blocks. >> reporter: the heavy lifting will be done by caltrain, bart and, of course, -- >> a lot of people say again and again they would love to use muni if they could squeeze on and if it were reliable. so they're forced to be the person in the car ahead of you. >> reporter: solution? ask the developers to pay for muni's deficiencies. >> this is an opportunity for anybody developing in this area to be told, yes, you want to

build new housing, this is where muni needs help and where we need one more streetcar, two more buses. >> reporter: like a good basketball team, the city has been practicing. >> remember that weekend where we had america's cup, fleet week, giants and 49ers had games it worked really well by a lot of metrics. transit ridership was broken, congestion was less severe than a typical fleet week weekend. >> reporter: the challenge now taking those lessons and drawing up a game plan that will work for basketball, baseball, both simultaneously and on more than one weekend. >> it could be a series of events that happen at the same time 60 times, 100 times a year. what we're doing now is we're actually looking 25 years out in the future. >> one thing they are looking at is where would warriors fans park? there's no parking down there. the team is trying to get access to the downtown parking garages that are usually empty and closed by 7 p.m. so new buy a ticket and you plan to drive, the added cost

of parking would include an assigned spot in some high-rise or downtown garage. oakland mayor jean quan has more than a year left to go in her term but candidates are already lining up to try to take her seat. joe too man announced he is joe tooman is making another run. he said today he respects mayor quan but she has had her chance. >> this is not personal with jean. and i think she works very hard but i think what's required in this situation is arresting what's basically a city in a freefall. >> tuman could have tough competition. larry reid says he is strongly considering a run. other potential candidates include port commissioner brian parker and neighborhood activist patrick mccullough. >> then the bart strike in

could go on strike again. if bart workers don't have n the clock is ticking just a week and a half until bart could go on strike again. if bart workers don't have a

new contract by august 4, they say they'll go on strike plenty of time for officials to have a backup. phil matier reports they have one but you won't like it. >> reporter: that's right. it wasn't pretty last time and if there's a strike, it's not going to be pretty again. here's the story. leaders from around the bay area converged to hear the plan on how to deal with the possible repeat of the recent four-day bart strike that had hundreds of thousands of commuters stuck in traffic or waiting for hours just to get a bus ride home. the prognosis wasn't good. >> for those people who were tied up in the bart strike in july, you can expect a worse experience in august. >> reporter: in the last strike, bart ran about 50 shuttle buses to the east bay in san francisco. ac transit also increased its transbay service as did the bay ferries. but even then -- >> it really was very limited service. the demand for that service far just out stripped the supply that was available. >> reporter: about the only changes in the plan this time are to add another ferry, add a bus-shuttle service between san francisco and concord, and have the buses go to the city

instead of linking up in west oakland. but after that, it's going to be pretty much the same as the last time. and the reasons why more buses won't be rolling are both practical and political. first, the practical. >> one operation had six buses they could lend, another one had five. so in total, i don't think that if we were to kind of cobble all those together, i don't think it would be enough. >> reporter: and then there's the political. at least a fear among other transit agencies that adding too many buses to help out bart might upset their own union drivers. >> i think we need to know who is withholding service because of concerns base leaving tens of thousands of riders without transportation is not acceptable. >> we barely have the money to get the buses out there running on a regular basis much less having a reserve fleet. >> reporter: and as for the idea of bringing in replacement drivers to run those automated

bart cars, you can forget about that because under the contract, it takes 15 weeks to train new bart drivers and they can't start doing it until there's a strike. so if it happens, my advice is, make some plans on your own because you're largely going to be on your own. in san francisco, phil matier, kpix 5. at the same meeting officials also got an update on negotiations and both sides continue to be far apart on key issues. city of detroit won a legal victory today when a federal judge put a stop to all lawsuits threatening to halt the city's historic bankruptcy. retirees were among the groups who tried to sue the city of detroit claiming the constitution protects their city pensions, which are at risk in a bankruptcy. last week, michigan's governor approved the largest municipal bankruptcy case in u.s. history. a federal judge will now decide whether the city is eligible for bankruptcy. we wanted to find out what life is like in the city of vallejo,

a city trying to bounce back from bankruptcy. the mayor told our ryan takeo while things are better, he foresees more cities facing a similar fate. >> doesn't look very professional to me. you know? >> reporter: if a building could symbolize vallejo, this is it. >> it's a reflection of vallejo, it's a little broke but i mean it can be fixed. >> i don't believe that vallejo is broke. vallejo was broke. vallejo is no longer broke. we have the -- the council has been bold. >> reporter: the vallejo mayor was in office when it went bankrupt and when it emerged last year. >> to me biggest hole in this city of the bankruptcy was on the lives of our employees. >> reporter: a 40% reduction hit the police department. the city has two fewer fire stations open. bankruptcy also brought city workers' salary and benefit cuts. years ago, a bankruptcy filing was a black eye for cities looking to borrow. now it's almost a necessity for

some. >> when you get to the point that you can't do anything more, that's the only option left to you, i think there was a perception that bankruptcy wasn't even an option, say, 10 years ago. >> reporter: davis argues cities nationwide faced a similar issue to vallejo six years ago mainly because of rising benefits for workers and less money coming in from sources like property taxes so he is not shocked the motor city was forced into bankruptcy. >> so i'm not surprised and i'm -- i would bet you that there were going to be additional cities that are filing bankruptcy. >> reporter: how's that for a sign of the times? in vallejo, ryan takeo, kpix 5. >> the mayor was quick to point out vallejo's budget is in much better shape now. it added a dozen police officers and it reopened the fire station it originally closed in the bankruptcy. paul it seems like our weather is in better shape these days. >> it is. >> a little less humid and more

summer-like. >> it felt nice. >> we can expect this weather but when you get cloudy days a couple of sticky days with a rain chance, maybe you appreciate what we had outside even at the coast. the marine layer is quickly moving in this evening? >> highs in the low 60s. it's above average. san jose 86. napa 87. you go san rafael. 91 today. concord 93 for a high. sunny drier and warmer. hi-def doppler is dry. don't expect any rainfall for the rest of the month but the average rainfall in july is zero. that's average. we are losing a minute and a half of daylight a day. tomorrow morning in the upper 50s for concord. 59. mountain view 60. san francisco 54 degrees with cloudy skies but the marine layer will burn off rapidly. the monsoon season is gone.

but doubters say pesticidese a toxic threat to everyone. of farmworker and now at 6:30, the strawberry industry says there's no risk but doubters say pesticides are a toxic threat to everyone. a coalition of farm workers and environmental groups filed a lawsuit this afternoon against the environmental protection agency for failing to protect children from toxic pesticides. at issue is something called pesticide drift. airborne droplets of toxic chemicals that can travel far

away from sprayed or fumigated fields into neighbors communities. the lawsuit claims the epa is 7 years behind schedule on meeting a deadline set by congress to protect children from that drift. >> we have an entire generation that has been exposed throughout the most vulnerable period of their lives to chemicals that we know are harmful to children. so it's -- the time frame is not acceptable. we need to put rules in place much more quickly. >> the petition asks the epa to set safety standards for children, improve warnings on labels and increase no spray buffer zones around homes and schools. the epa says it doesn't comment on pending litigation. pesticide drift is a hot button issue in one northern california farming commute. linda yee shows us what one family found happening in the field right next to their house, a field that grows a well-known brand of

and say they're fine, no danger. >> reporter: the children's grandfather was skeptical. oakland-based pesticide action network helped him set up drift catchers to monitor chemical droplets in the air during fumigation. the results? >> it was scary. it was scary for especially the kids. >> reporter: pesticide action network found levels of chloropicrin almost two times higher than what scientists paid by the state say is acceptable for adults. for children, it was four times higher. but california considers much higher levels acceptable so despite the family's appeals, the state did not find driscoll's in violation. >> the state and the federal government have set these levels so high that they will never be -- it's impossible for them to not to be within their legal rights. >> we follow, uhm, you know, all the appropriate laws and -- and best practices in the industry. >> reporter: kelly bell is with driscoll's. she says the company has gone above and beyond the law paying for the silvera family to stay
