enforcement, they say it actually makes it easier for illegal vendors to sell on the sidewalk. good evening. thank you for joining us. i'm dan ashley and i'm ama daetz, the 90 day ban means street vendors both with and without permits are not allowed to sell on the sidewalks of mission street. >> but today, one day after it went into effect, permitted vendors say the fencing operations are already back. abc seven news reporter louis pena has been monitoring the situation. she joins us live from the newsroom with the latest tonight. louis >> yeah, that's right. we saw multiple changes. sidewalks are now clean. people can walk without stepping on merchandise. but we also found this secured city tags a sign of stolen items. it's been 24 hours since the 90 day street ban on san francisco's mission street went into effect. and according to this vendor, what you see will depend on the time of day. >> there was a lot of activity, people selling, buying, and there was inspectors on the side doing nothing. >> last week, rodrigo lopez was selling on 24th street. now he's

documented. >> we feel very disappointed, this disturbed vendors. we are not selling right here, right now on the street. but all the vendors, they are on the street. so we want we demand more actions from the city. >> at 8:40 a.m, rodrigo says he captured people pulling merchandise out of suitcases and selling them on the sidewalks. when we showed up several hours later, 24th street was clean. no vendors in sight and public works inspectors began to show up with sfpd. it turns out when rodrigo shot these, it was before inspectors began their patrol on weekdays. >> we're there right now from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m, although we're looking to see if we can extend that a little bit. it's really dependent on resource. and then on weekends, we're out there from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. so outside of those hours, people can go out there and continue vending. so what the city is going to do is really monitor this. is it working during these hours? >> the san francisco public works department says inspectors have been attacked by unpermitted vendors. so for months they've been patrolling

with sfpd officers as they're going out and telling them that they're not allowed to do that anymore, they have to pack up and leave. >> if they don't do that, if there's not compliance with that, we can issue something called a notice of violation. >> amin owns pueblito marquez on 24th street. he's thankful for the change, even if it's not consist. and yet, have you noticed a difference? >> yeah, the difference is better people. they can walk uh- clean several bart plazas are part of the ban. >> in the past these have been fencing operation hotspots on the phone, the bart police commander confirmed they're now adding extra resources to the area. but vendors like rodrigo say it's not fair that unpermitted vendors get to set up shop when inspectors are not around. what's your message to the city? >> so the message to the city is to do their job. >> bart police officers and public works employees have the authority to confiscate items if unpermitted street vendors do

not move. but off camera, a public works inspector said unpermitted vendors leave as soon as they see them coming in the newsroom. luz pena, abc seven news. >> you got to realize, we sat here for five years without understand finding who was behind him and it was totally shrouded. >> this is not a good faith. they're not talking to my people in fairfield. that's not how we deal here today. >> the solano sierra club publicly opposed california forever's new city in solano county. >> the organization says the billionaire backed group ignores years of smart growth planning that is endangering travis air force base. >> i-team reporter stephanie sierra has been following this story. joining us now with new developments tonight. steph >> yes, the same questions continue lingering tonight. we're learning new details about california. forever's proposed land swap with solano county and why city officials are concerned about the implications to travis air force base. the sierra club is calling out what they see as threats to agricultural land and

biodiversity conservation. the solano sierra club says california forever's secretive billion dollar acquisition is nothing short of a hostile takeover. and criticizing the plan for a new city conflicts with county policy that restricts development on agriculture land losing prime land means we're losing our ability to feed ourselves. princess washington is the chair of the solano sierra club and mayor pro tem of suisun city. she says over the past 30 years, the bay area has lost more than 217,000 acres of ag land to new development. this land we cannot get back. >> washington and fairfield mayor catherine moy both called out concerns surrounding travis air force base. >> the threat to travis air force base, that's a big fat no. >> city officials say they've asked california forever. why not make the land immediately surrounding travis air force base available to be relinquished? what's your response to that? >> i mean, i think that they should wait for the overall plans before anyone is kind of

making making up an opinion about the project, which is what most of the electeds in the area are doing. and we're very confident that the uses that we're going to propose in the new year, such as using it for solar farms, are going to be entirely compatible and in fact support the operations of travis air. >> washington says california forever recently learned that certain parcels north east of travis air force base were identified as targets for the department of defense to acquire for their environmental protection program. >> by the time the parcels were identified, their company had already acquired them. >> did the department of defense request for those specific parcels back? >> no, absolutely not. and we acquired them from third party landowners, so we didn't even learn about the fact that this was a priority for them. from them, we learned about it from just independently talking to people in the community. and those are the very parcels that we proposed to swap to the water agency. >> schrameck says he would exchange around 1400 acres of pasture land for 1500 acres of their land. that, he says, has the highest habitat values. but

mayor moy says there's more to the story. >> right now in this land swap they're trying to pass off a piece of land to the solano county water agency that's now under investigation by state and by other environmental groups, and that could come with fines up to $20 million. >> what's your response to that? >> that's categorically false. and i would ask her to present the evidence of that because that is absolutely not true. >> now, the solano county water agency will decide whether or not to negotiate with california forever to supply water in mid-december. if they don't schrameck says today he's still confident he'll have enough water to support a city of tens of thousands of people. and those plans continue developing starting this thursday, he says two new offices will open in vallejo and vacaville so residents can come in and ask questions. >> that's a lot of water. >> it is a lot of water. we'll

be tracking it. >> yeah, as you have been. thank you so much. >> all right. now to get in touch with steph and the i-team, you can call this number on your screen or go to abc seven news.com slash i-team. >> all right. let's take a live look outside at the conditions. it is still dry out there right now, but the rain is expected to return. for the details and timeline, let's go to abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel. sandhya. >> yeah, just a matter of hours before that wet weather arrives. let's go right to live. doppler seven and we're going to talk about what's happening right now. so moisture is getting picked up just off our coastline and also just off the mendocino coast. that is headed in our direction as a light level. one storm is moving towards california. this will bring us beneficial rain. and as we time it out for you, 6:00 tonight, it is approaching the north bay coast. as you will notice, by 10 p.m. we are starting to see some showers moving in. the intensity picks up briefly as we head towards tomorrow morning's commute. if you're an early commuter, give yourself that extra time because we are going to see some moderate showers moving through. and this continues as we head towards 8

okay. but it's, you know, bringing so much confusion in and how they are using the, the charter of the county section 62 and also with the state charter and which would overrule which one, one issue who is collecting signatures. >> chen says state law allows for anyone over the age of 18 to collect signatures in a recall. but county rules differ and that could raise legal issues against the recall. >> well, there's a lot of differences between county and state law, but there's absolute no question that the county law governs county elections. >> on tuesday, attorney james sutton, who represents da price, wrote to the board of supervisors with concerns over the recall. the email states that the board has the duty to invalidate any and all signatures, collect and by people who are not registered voters in alameda county to be registered voters in the county. >> it's pretty basic. and that law is on the books. it's going to be on the books for the

foreseeable future, regardless of what happens with this charter amendment. >> sutton's email states the da price will consider all legal options to enforce the county laws. in oakland, anser hassan abc7 news. >> coming up, we will introduce you to a group aimed at developing leaders while supporting local asian-american organizations. it's all part of our day of giving celebration as we highlight bay area nonprofits working to uplift our communities. >> i'm david goodman with the redwood empire food bank. and i want to thank disney and feeding america for its generous contribution of $15,000. year in and year out. we receive $15,000 at this time of year to make sure that everybody has a joyous holiday season and if you would like to help this organization or any of the others, we're profiling on abc7 news today. >> we have all the information on our website. it's important to do it today as many nonprofits are doing matching pledges on this day of giving. so take care of that. now if you'd like, just head to abc7
